Income Taxes	11. Income Taxes The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $2,415 on a pre-tax loss of $19,453 during the 13 weeks ended July 28, 2018, which represented an effective income tax rate of 12.4%. The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $6,474 on a pre-tax loss of $17,252 during the 13 weeks ended July 29, 2017, which represented an effective income tax rate of 37.5%. The Company’s effective tax rates for the 13 weeks ended July 28, 2018 and July 29, 2017 differ from the statutory rates due to the impact of permanent items such as meals and entertainment, non-deductible executive compensation, tax credits, changes in uncertain tax positions, expected changes in valuation allowance based on forecasted full year income and state tax provision, net of federal benefit. During the 13 weeks ended July 28, 2018 and July 29, 2017, the Company recognized tax expense of $580 and $566, respectively, in accordance with ASU 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) – Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which requires all excess tax benefits or deficiencies from share-based payments to be recognized as income tax expense or benefit in the consolidated statement of operations as discrete in the reporting period in which they occur. The Company believes that it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits at July 28, 2018 could decrease by approximately $1,162 within the next twelve months, as a result of settlement of certain tax audits or lapses of statutes of limitations, which could impact the effective tax rate. Effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act New tax legislation, commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act or Tax Reform, was enacted on December 22, 2017. Certain aspects of the new law, including the federal corporate tax rate change, were recorded in the Company’s financial statements during fiscal year end 2018. Given the significance of the legislation, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (SAB 118), which allows registrants to record provisional amounts during a one year “measurement period” similar to that used when accounting for business combinations. However, the measurement period is deemed to have ended earlier when the registrant has obtained, prepared and analyzed the information necessary to finalize its accounting. During the measurement period, impacts of the law are expected to be recorded at the time a reasonable estimate for all or a portion of the effects can be made, and provisional amounts can be recognized and adjusted as information becomes available, prepared or analyzed. SAB 118 summarizes a three-step process to be applied at each reporting period to account for and qualitatively disclose: (1) the effects of the change in tax law for which accounting is complete; (2) provisional amounts (or adjustments to provisional amounts) for the effects of the tax law where accounting is not complete, but that a reasonable estimate has been determined; and (3) a reasonable estimate cannot yet be made and therefore taxes are reflected in accordance with law prior to the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Items for which a reasonable estimate was determined include the impact of the change in the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% and the changes to the non-deductible executive compensation provisions. The Company recorded a benefit of $27,128 on the remeasurement of its deferred tax assets and liabilities during fiscal 2018. During fiscal 2018, the Company also recorded a net tax detriment as a result of the changes to the non-deductible executive compensation provisions. As the Company awaits further guidance regarding the transition rules, the tax impact recorded during fiscal 2018 represents a provisional amount based on the guidance that is available. As no additional guidance on the transition rules has been released, the amount recorded remains provisional. Other significant provisions that did not have an impact on the fiscal 2018 provision but may impact the Company’s income taxes for future fiscal years include: limitation on the current deductibility of net interest expense in excess of 30% of adjusted taxable income, a limitation of net operating losses generated after fiscal 2018 to 80% of taxable income, and entertainment and other expense deduction limitation. The Company continues to not be subject to any transition tax as there are no untaxed foreign earnings. Valuation Allowance Considerations The Company routinely performs an analysis of its deferred tax assets and considers all evidence both positive and negative to determine realizability of these assets. As a result of the Company’s analysis, $3,894 of previously established valuation allowance against definite lived net operating losses was released through retained earnings as a direct result of the Company’s adoption of Topic 606 during the 13 weeks ended July 28, 2018. The Company still maintains a valuation allowance against certain state items and definite lived net operating losses that was recorded in prior periods.
