INCOME TAXES [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	NOTE 9 - INCOME TAXES We calculate our provision for income taxes at the end of each interim reporting period on the basis of an estimated annual effective tax rate adjusted for tax items that are discrete to each period. The effective tax rate of 27.7% exceeds the U.S. statutory rate of 21.0% in the three-month period ended August 2, 2020, primarily due to higher tax rates in the non-U.S. jurisdictions where we operate, combined with the non-recognition of the tax benefit of losses that, in certain jurisdictions, have been offset by valuation allowances, which were partially offset by the benefit of investment tax credits in certain foreign jurisdictions. The effective tax rate of 35.9% exceeds the U.S. statutory rate of 21.0% in the nine-month period ended August 2, 2020, primarily due to the non-recognition of the tax benefit of losses that, in certain jurisdictions, have been offset by valuation allowances, and the establishment of a valuation allowance for a loss carryforward in a non-U.S. jurisdiction, which were partially offset by the benefits of tax holidays and investment tax credits in certain foreign jurisdictions. Valuation allowances, in jurisdictions with historic losses, eliminate the current tax benefit of losses in these jurisdictions where, based on the weight of information available to us, we determined that it is more likely than not that the tax benefits will not be realized. In the three-month period ended February 2, 2020, as a result of the reassessment of the aforementioned available information, we established a valuation allowance of $2.1 million against a non-U.S. based loss-carryforward deferred tax asset that is not more likely than not to be realized. Unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions were $2.5 million at August 2, 2020, and $1.9 million at October 31, 2019, substantially all of which, if recognized, would favorably impact the Company’s effective tax rate. Accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits was $0.2 million at August 2, 2020 and October 31, 2019. Although the timing of the expirations of statutes of limitations may be uncertain, as they can be dependent upon the settlement of tax audits, the Company believes that $0.8 million of uncertain tax positions (including interest and penalties, and net of tax benefits) may be resolved over the next twelve months. Resolution of these uncertain tax positions may result from either or both the lapses of statutes of limitations and tax settlements. The Company is no longer subject to tax authority examinations in the U.S. and major foreign or state jurisdictions for years prior to fiscal year 2015. We were granted a five-year tax holiday in Taiwan that expired on December 31, 2019. This tax holiday reduced foreign taxes by $0.1 million in the nine-month period ended August 2, 2020, and by $0.4 million and $1.5 million in the three and nine-month periods ended July 28, 2019, respectively. Per share impacts were immaterial in the nine-month period ended August 2, 2020, and the three-month period ended July 28, 2019; there was a one cent per share effect in the nine-month period ended July 28, 2019. The effective tax rate of 24.7% in the three-month period ended July 28, 2019, differs from the U.S. statutory rate of 21.0%, primarily due to the elimination of tax benefits in jurisdictions, including the U.S., in which it is not more likely than not that the benefit will be realized; the effects of these eliminations were partially offset by the benefits of tax holidays and investment tax credits in certain foreign jurisdictions. The effective tax rate of 22.3% in the nine-month period ended July 28, 2019, differs from the U.S. statutory rate of 21.0%, primarily due to the elimination of tax benefits in jurisdictions, including the U.S., in which it is not more likely than not that the benefit will be realized; the effects of these eliminations were partially offset by the benefits of the settlement of a tax audit, as well as a tax holiday and investment tax credits in certain foreign jurisdictions.
