INCOME TAXES | 6 Months Ended

Nov. 29, 2014
INCOME TAXES | INCOME TAXES The effective income tax rate from continuing operations during the first six months of fiscal 2015 was a tax benefit of 43.1%, as compared to a tax provision of 18.8% during the first six months of fiscal 2014. The difference in rate during the first six months of fiscal 2015, as compared to the first six months of fiscal 2014, reflects the impact of tax benefit on the six month loss for fiscal 2015, the deferred tax impact of the change in the statutory tax rate in Japan during the first six months of fiscal 2015, the reduction in uncertain tax positions as a result of settling an income tax audit in Italy, and the recording of a tax benefit related to compensation expense. The 43.1% effective rate differs from the federal statutory rate of 34.0% as a result of our geographical distribution of income, the deferred tax impact of the change in the statutory tax rate in Japan, the reduction in uncertain tax positions as a result of settling an income tax audit in Italy, the recording of a tax benefit related to compensation expense, and our position with respect to ASC 740-30, Income Taxes – Other Considerations or Special Areas ("ASC 740-30"). In the normal course of business, we are subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world. Generally, years prior to fiscal 2007 are closed for examination under the statute of limitations for U.S. federal, U.S. state and local, and non-U.S. tax jurisdictions. We are also currently under examination in Germany (fiscal 2008 through 2010) and Thailand (fiscal 2008 through 2011). Our primary foreign tax jurisdictions are Germany and the Netherlands. We have tax years open in Germany beginning in fiscal 2007 and the Netherlands beginning in fiscal 2009. We have historically determined that certain undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries, to the extent of cash available, will be repatriated to the U.S. Accordingly, we have provided a deferred tax liability totally $6.1 million as of November 29, 2014, on foreign earnings of $39.7 million. In addition, as of November 29, 2014, approximately $40.8 million of cumulative positive earnings of some of our foreign subsidiaries are still considered permanently reinvested pursuant to ASC 740-30. Due to various tax attributes that are continuously changing, it is not practical to determine what, if any, tax liability might exist if such earnings were to be repatriated. We have no liability recorded in any tax jurisdiction for uncertain tax positions related to continuing operations as of November 29, 2014, and November 30, 2013. It is not expected that there will be a change in the unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months.
