12.Income TaxesThe effective tax rate was 43.6% and 35.0% for the three month periods ended July2, 2016 and June27, 2015, respectively. The 8.6 percentage point increase in the effective tax rate represents an increase in tax expense as a percentage of book income when compared to the same period last year.  The major contributor to this increase is with the federal credits for R & D, WOTC and fuel plus state credits. These credits are largely fixed and with the relatively low pre-tax loss for the three months ended July 2, 2016, these credits add to the credit provision and are a larger percentage of pre-tax loss in comparison to the three months ended June 27, 2015.  This accounts for 7.6percent of the increase.
