INCOME TAXES [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	13. INCOME TAXES Our effective income tax rate was 29.0% and 20.3% for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2015 compared to a 24.1% and 25.9% effective income tax rate for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2014. The increase in the effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was primarily due to the $1,313 additional income tax expense related to the tax treatment of intercompany activities between certain of our foreign and U.S. operations, as discussed in Note 1. The decrease in the effective tax rate during the first nine months of fiscal 2015 was primarily due to lower overall income tax expense on foreign earnings compared to fiscal 2014, and the reinstatement of the U.S. research and experimentation tax credit retroactive to January 1, 2014. The retroactive reinstatement of the tax credit reduced our income tax expense for the nine months by approximately $1,124. The Company is currently operating under a tax holiday in South Korea in conjunction with our investment in research, development and manufacturing facilities there. This arrangement allows for a 0% tax rate in fiscal years 2013, 2014 and 2015, and tax at 50% of the local statutory rate in effect for fiscal years 2016 and 2017. This tax holiday reduced our income tax provision by approximately $4,047 and $2,857 in the first nine months of fiscal 2015 and 2014, respectively.
