NOTE 8 - INCOME TAXES

The effective tax rate differs from the U.S. statutory rate of 35% in the three month periods ended February 1, 2015 and February 2, 2014, primarily due to earnings being taxed at lower statutory rates in foreign jurisdictions, combined with 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.

Unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions were $5.2 million at February 1, 2015 and $5.1 million at November 2, 2014, of which $5.1 million and $5.0 million, respectively, would favorably impact the Company's effective tax rate if recognized. Accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits was $0.1 million at February 1, 2015 and November 2, 2014. As of February 1, 2015, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits is not expected to significantly increase or decrease in the next twelve months.

PKLT, the Company's FPD manufacturing facility in Taiwan, has been accorded a tax holiday, which started in 2012 and expires in 2017. The PKLT tax holiday had no dollar or per share effect in the three month periods ended February 1, 2015 and February 2, 2014. PDMC, as a result of the DPTT Acquisition, acquired an IC manufacturing facility in Taiwan that has been accorded a tax holiday which commenced in 2015 and expires in 2019. The Company realized a $0.1 million tax benefit from this tax holiday during the three month period ended February 1, 2015. The tax holiday had no per share effect in the three month periods ended February 1, 2015 and February 2, 2014.
