NOTE 12 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

At October 29, 2017, we had outstanding purchase commitments of $168 million, which included $162 million related to capital expenditures, and had recorded liabilities for the purchase of equipment of $3 million. See Notes 7 and 19, respectively, for information on our operating lease commitments and our plans to construct two facilities in China.

We are subject to various claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. We believe such claims, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
