INCOME TAXES [Abstract] |
INCOME TAXES | NOTE 8 - INCOME TAXES The effective tax rate differs from the U.S. statutory rate of 35% in the three and nine month periods ended August 2, 2015 and August 3, 2014, primarily due to earnings being taxed at lower statutory rates in foreign jurisdictions, the partial reversal of a deferred tax asset valuation allowance, and various investment credits in foreign jurisdictions. Valuation allowances in jurisdictions with historic losses eliminate the effective rate impact of these jurisdictions. During the three month period ended May 3, 2015, the Company determined that deferred tax assets of $1.5 million, whose realization was previously not considered to be more likely than not, are realizable. Therefore, their related valuation allowances were reduced and the deferred tax assets were recognized. In the three month period ended August 2, 2015, $0.2 million of additional deferred tax assets were recognized. Unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions were $5.6 million at August 2, 2015, and $5.1 million at November 2, 2014, of which $5.5 million and $5.0 million, respectively, would, if recognized, favorably impact the Company's effective tax rate. Accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits was $0.2 million at August 2, 2015, $0.1 million of which was recognized during the nine month period ended August 2, 2015. As of August 2, 2015, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits is not expected to significantly increase or decrease in the next twelve months. Due to changes in the operational structure of a foreign subsidiary and a related redemption of the subsidiary’s investment in shares of an affiliate, the Company has determined that, as of August 2, 2015, the historic and future accumulated earnings of that subsidiary were not required for future reinvestment. Accordingly, earnings of $127.2 million that were considered to be indefinitely reinvested at November 2, 2014, were reduced by $16.4 million, against which a $5.7 million deferred tax liability that is offset by fully valued loss carryforwards has been established. PKLT, the Company's FPD manufacturing facility in Taiwan, has been accorded a tax holiday that started in 2012 and expires in 2017. The PKLT tax holiday had no dollar or per share effect on the financial results of the three or nine month periods ended August 2, 2015 and August 3, 2014. PDMC, as a result of the DPTT Acquisition, acquired an IC manufacturing facility in Taiwan that has been accorded a tax holiday that commenced in 2015 and expires in 2019. The Company realized $0.1 million and $0.2 million in tax benefits from the PDMC tax holiday for the three and nine month periods ended August 2, 2015, respectively, and no dollar benefit for the three and nine month periods ended August 3, 2014. The tax holiday had no per share effect on the financial results for the three or nine month periods ended August 2, 2015 and August 3, 2014.
