Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	8. INCOME TAXES We recorded an income tax provision from continuing operations of $1.1 million and $0.8 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2018 and the first nine months of fiscal 2017, respectively. The effective income tax rate from continuing operations during the first nine months of fiscal 2018 was a tax provision of 65.0%, as compared to a tax provision of (13.7%) during the first nine months of fiscal 2017. The difference in rate during the first nine months of fiscal 2018, as compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2017, reflects the change in the overall loss realized through the third quarter in each respective period, changes in our geographical distribution of income (loss), the recording of provision to return true-ups of various foreign jurisdictions, the accrual of an uncertain tax position with respect to a German audit and our positions with respect to permanent reinvestment of foreign earnings under ASC 740-30, Income Taxes - Other Considerations or Special Areas (“ASC 740-30”). The 65.0% effective income tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate of 29.2% as a result of our geographical distribution of income (loss), the recording of a valuation allowance against the increase in our U.S. state and federal net deferred tax assets, recognition of an uncertain tax position and preliminary tax assessments with respect to the income tax audit in Germany. On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted new tax legislation, Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”). The primary provisions of the Act expected to impact the Company in fiscal 2018 are a reduction to the U.S. corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% and a transition from a worldwide corporate tax system to a territorial tax system. The reduction in the corporate income tax rate requires the Company to remeasure its net deferred tax assets to the new corporate tax rate and the transition to a territorial tax system requires payment of a one-time tax on deemed repatriation of undistributed and previously untaxed non-U.S. earnings. Primarily as a result of those provisions of the Act, the Company recorded a deferred remeasurement impact of approximately $1.6 million, which was fully offset by the valuation allowance movement. Additionally, the estimated deemed earnings repatriation tax, net of available foreign tax credits brought back as part of the deemed repatriation, was $3.5 million. The Company does not anticipate any cash tax payments due to the foreign tax credit carryforwards available to fully offset the provisional deemed repatriation tax. The 21% corporate income tax rate was effective January 1, 2018. Based on the Company’s June 2, 2018 fiscal year end, the U.S. statutory income tax rate for fiscal 2018 will be approximately 29.2%. The tax impact recorded for the Act during the third quarter of fiscal 2018 was provisional as outlined below and may change. The Company completed a preliminary assessment of earnings that could be repatriated based on reinvestment needs of non-U.S. operations and earnings available for repatriation. The estimated withholding tax that would be incurred from the repatriation of those earnings is included in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 provisional income tax expense. The Company continues to analyze the provisions of the Act addressing the net deferred tax asset remeasurement and its calculations, the deemed earnings repatriation, including the determination of undistributed non-U.S. earnings, and evaluate potential Company actions, including repatriating additional non-U.S. earnings and actions that could affect the Company’s fiscal year ended 2018 U.S. taxable income. In addition, the Company continues to monitor potential legislative action and regulatory interpretations of the Act. Based on the effective date of certain provisions, the Company will be subject to additional requirements of the Act beginning in fiscal 2019. Those provisions include a tax on global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI), a tax determined by base erosion tax benefits (BEAT) from certain payments between a U.S. corporation and foreign subsidiaries, a limitation of certain executive compensation, a deduction for foreign derived intangible income (FDII) and interest expense limitations. The Company has not completed its analysis of those provisions and the estimated impact. The Company also has not determined its accounting policy to treat the taxes due on GILTI as a period cost or include in the determination of deferred taxes. In December 2017, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 that allows for a measurement period up to one year after the enactment date of the Act to complete the accounting requirements. The Company will complete the adjustments related to the Act within the allowed period. We have historically determined that undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries, to the extent of cash available, will be repatriated to the U.S. Due to the deemed earnings repatriation tax, the outside basis difference for which the historic balance has primarily related has been reduced. The deferred tax liability on the outside basis difference is now primarily withholding tax. Accordingly, we have reduced the deferred tax liability from $5.7 million as of the second quarter of fiscal 2018 to $0.2 million as of the third quarter of fiscal 2018 on foreign earnings of $47.2 million. 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 limitation for U.S. federal, U.S. state and local or non-U.S. tax jurisdictions. We are currently under examination in Thailand (fiscal 2008 through 2011). We are also under examination in the state of Illinois for fiscal years 2014 and 2015. Our primary foreign tax jurisdictions are Germany and the Netherlands. We have tax years open in Germany beginning in fiscal 2015 and the Netherlands beginning in fiscal 2011. On September 12, 2017, the Company received an income tax refund from the State of Illinois of approximately $2.0 million, which was inclusive of interest earned. The refund was a result of the conclusion of the Illinois amended return related to the sale of the RF, Wireless and Power Division in 2011. A net benefit of $1.5 million, which includes $0.5 million of professional fee costs incurred to pursue the refund, was recognized in the second quarter of fiscal 2018 in discontinued operations. As of March 3, 2018, our worldwide liability for uncertain tax positions related to continuing operations was $0.1 million, excluding interest and penalties, as compared to no liability as of May 27, 2017. The change to the uncertain tax positions for the third quarter of fiscal 2018 was as a result of the preliminary German audit assessments and the related exposure for the open years, which was reserved in the second quarter of fiscal 2018. We record penalties and interest relating to uncertain tax positions in the income tax expense line item within the unaudited consolidated statements of income (loss). It is not expected that there will be a change to unrecognized tax provision within the next 12 months. The valuation allowance against the net deferred tax assets increased to $10.0 million as of March 3, 2018. Changes during the first nine months relating to the Act include the impact from the deferred remeasurement, deemed earnings repatriation tax and changes to the permanent reinvestment assertion outside basis difference as a result of the Act. Additional impacts to the valuation allowance include an Illinois income tax rate increase and additional domestic federal and state net deferred tax assets generated during the first three quarters of fiscal year 2018 due to additional losses in the U.S. jurisdiction. The valuation allowance against the net deferred tax assets was $8.5 million as of May 27, 2017. A full valuation allowance on the U.S. and state deferred tax assets will be maintained until sufficient positive evidence related to sources of future taxable income exists to support a reversal of the valuation allowance. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be adjusted if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are increased, or if objective negative evidence in the form of cumulative losses is no longer present and additional weight may be given to subjective evidence such as our projections for growth.
