The (2.3)% of Other, net in fiscal year 2014 does not include the rate impact of any items in excess of 5% of computed tax.

The 7.8% of Other, net in fiscal year 2013 includes the rate impact of meals and entertainment expense disallowance, donated inventory, unrecognized tax benefits and miscellaneous items of 4.9%, (3.4)%, 5.5% and 0.8%, respectively.

The (13.8)% of Other, net in fiscal year 2012 includes the rate impact of meals and entertainment expense disallowance, unrecognized tax benefits and miscellaneous items of 2.1%, (9.1)% and (6.8)%, respectively.

At June 30, 2014, the Company has tax effected federal, state and U.K. net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $12.4, $3.7 and $1.1 million, respectively. The federal loss carryforward expires in 2034. The state loss carryforwards expire from 2016 to 2034. The U.K. loss carryforward has no expiration.

The Company's tax credit carryforward of $20.1 million consists of $18.6 million that will expire from 2031 to 2034. The remaining $1.5 million carryforward has no expiration date.

As of June 30, 2014, undistributed earnings of international subsidiaries of approximately $23.7 million were considered to have been reinvested indefinitely and, accordingly, the Company has not provided for U.S. income taxes on such earnings. It is not practicable for the Company to determine the amount of unrecognized deferred tax liabilities on these indefinitely reinvested earnings.

The Company files tax returns and pays tax primarily in the U.S., Canada, the U.K. and Luxembourg as well as states, cities, and provinces within these jurisdictions. In the U.S., fiscal years 2010 and beyond remain open for federal tax audit. The Company's U.S. federal income tax returns for the fiscal years 2010 and 2011 are currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The IRS has identified certain issues that may result in audit adjustments. The Company is reviewing the issues identified to date. In anticipation of resolution of the issues identified, the Company made a payment of $9.5 million to the IRS during the fourth quarter ended June 30, 2014. The majority of the amount paid relates to timing differences and will be recovered by claiming future tax deductions and by receiving a benefit when the Company's U.S. deferred tax asset valuation allowance is reversed. Final resolution of these issues is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. The Company is currently under audit in a number of states in which the statute of limitations has been extended for fiscal years 2007 and forward. For state tax audits, the statute of limitations generally spans three to four years, resulting in a number of states remaining open for tax audits dating back to fiscal year 2009. Internationally, including Canada, the statute of limitations for tax audits varies by jurisdiction, but generally ranges from three to five years.

A rollforward of the unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:



	Fiscal Years
	2014			2013			2012
	(Dollars in thousands)
Balance at beginning of period	$	10,015		$	4,381		$	13,493
(Reductions)/additions based on tax positions related to the current year	(2,114		)	44			482
(Reductions)/additions based on tax positions of prior years	(505		)	7,132			(7		)
Reductions on tax positions related to the expiration of the statute of limitations	(994		)	(1,403		)	(1,571		)
Settlements	(4,934		)	(139		)	(8,016		)
Balance at end of period	$	1,468		$	10,015		$	4,381

If the Company were to prevail on all unrecognized tax benefits recorded, a benefit of approximately $1 million would be recorded in the effective tax rate. Interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits are recorded within income tax expense. During the fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012, we recorded interest and penalties of approximately $0.1, $0.7 and $(1.2) million, respectively, as additions to the accrual net of the respective reversal of previously accrued interest and penalties. As of June 30, 2014, the Company had accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits of $1.1 million. This amount is not included in the gross unrecognized tax benefits noted above.

It is reasonably possible that the amount of the unrecognized tax benefit with respect to certain of our unrecognized tax positions will increase or decrease during the next fiscal year. However, an estimate of the amount or range of the change cannot be made at this time.
