At June 30, 2015, the Company has tax effected federal, state, Canada and U.K. net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $12.4, $4.7, $0.5 and $0.3 million, respectively. The federal loss carryforward will expire from fiscal years 2034 to 2035. The state loss carryforwards will expire from fiscal years 2016 to 2035. The Canada loss carryforward will expire in fiscal year 2035. The U.K. loss carryforward has no expiration.

The Company's tax credit carryforward of $25.3 million consists of $23.3 million that will expire from fiscal years 2028 to 2035, $0.5 million that will expire from fiscal years 2020 to 2025 and $1.5 million of carryforward that has no expiration date.

As of June 30, 2015, undistributed earnings of international subsidiaries of approximately $21.8 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. The Company’s U.S. federal income tax returns for fiscal year 2010 through 2014 are currently under audit by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). All earlier tax years are closed to examination. The Company has outstanding audit issues with the IRS for fiscal years 2010 and 2011 for which the IRS has proposed additional adjustments. The Company believes its income tax positions and deductions will be sustained and intends to vigorously defend its position on these issues and, accordingly, has appealed to the IRS Appeals Division. Final resolution of these issues is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position. 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 2011. The Company is currently under audit in a number of states in which the statute of limitations has been extended back for fiscal years 2007 and forward. 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
	2015			2014			2013
	(Dollars in thousands)
Balance at beginning of period	$	1,468		$	10,015		$	4,381
(Reductions)/additions based on tax positions related to the current year	37			(2,114		)	44
(Reductions)/additions based on tax positions of prior years	352			(505		)	7,132
Reductions on tax positions related to the expiration of the statute of limitations	(361		)	(994		)	(1,403		)
Settlements	—			(4,934		)	(139		)
Balance at end of period	$	1,496		$	1,468		$	10,015

If the Company were to prevail on all unrecognized tax benefits recorded, a benefit of approximately $1.0 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 2015, 2014 and 2013, we recorded interest and penalties of approximately $0.1, $0.1 and $0.7 million, respectively, as additions to the accrual net of the respective reversal of previously accrued interest and penalties. As of June 30, 2015, the Company had accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits of $1.2 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.
