12.       The effective tax rate was 136.3% and 31.3% for the three month periods ended June 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013, respectively. With the low pre-tax earnings in the current quarter, permanent items have a larger impact on the effective tax rate. Of the 105.0 percentage point increase in the effective tax rate for this period, the major contributors to this increase are the following items, 1) the re-establishment of the valuation allowance related to New York State Investment Tax Credit of $384,000 charge (130.2 percentage points), due to a change in the law, which is a discrete item and therefore is required to be booked in the current quarter and 2) research and experimentation credit, work opportunity credit and fuel tax credit have not been signed into law so there is no provision for these credits in the current quarter. These two items were partially offset by $92,000 credit (31.2 percentage points) related to interest received on tax refunds recorded during in the current quarter.
