NOTE 7 - INCOME TAXES

The effective tax rate differs from the U.S. statutory rate of 35% in the three and six month periods ended May 1, 2016 and May 3, 2015, primarily due to earnings being taxed at lower statutory rates in foreign jurisdictions, combined with the realization of certain tax benefits, as further noted below, in a foreign jurisdiction and the benefit of various investment credits in a foreign jurisdiction. Valuation allowances in jurisdictions with historic losses eliminate the effective rate impact of these jurisdictions.
