Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block]	16. Income taxes We recorded a provision for income taxes of $3.1 million and $0.4 million for the three months ended August 3, 2013 and July 28, 2012, respectively. The provision for income taxes was $5.3 million and $0.6 million for the six months ended August 3, 2013 and July 28, 2012, respectively. The increase in tax expense for the three and six months ended August 3, 2013 is primarily attributable to increasing profitability in taxable jurisdictions and increasing deductible temporary differences against which we have placed a valuation allowance. During the three and six months ended August 3, 2013, we were unable to reasonably project our annual effective tax rate, and therefore computed our provision for income taxes based on year-to-date actual financial results. Included in our provision for income taxes are foreign exchange gains or losses on unsettled income tax liabilities. We benefit from tax incentives granted by local tax authorities in certain foreign jurisdictions. The Economic Development Board of Singapore granted development and expansion incentives to our wholly owned subsidiary in Singapore in 2008 for a period of four years, which ended March 1, 2012, contingent on meeting specified requirements. The Company is currently in negotiation with the Economic Development Board for its operations plan in Singapore and is not benefiting from the incentives during the three months and six months ended August 3, 2013.

16. Income taxes

We recorded a provision for income taxes of $3.1 million and $0.4 million for the three months ended August 3, 2013 and July 28, 2012, respectively. The provision for income taxes was $5.3 million and $0.6 million for the six months ended August 3, 2013 and July 28, 2012, respectively. The increase in tax expense for the three and six months ended August 3, 2013 is primarily attributable to increasing profitability in taxable jurisdictions and increasing deductible temporary differences against which we have placed a valuation allowance. During the three and six months ended August 3, 2013, we were unable to reasonably project our annual effective tax rate, and therefore computed our provision for income taxes based on year-to-date actual financial results. Included in our provision for income taxes are foreign exchange gains or losses on unsettled income tax liabilities.

We benefit from tax incentives granted by local tax authorities in certain foreign jurisdictions. The Economic Development Board of Singapore granted development and expansion incentives to our wholly owned subsidiary in Singapore in 2008 for a period of four years, which ended March 1, 2012, contingent on meeting specified requirements. The Company is currently in negotiation with the Economic Development Board for its operations plan in Singapore and is not benefiting from the incentives during the three months and six months ended August 3, 2013.
