In making this judgment, the Company evaluates all available evidence, both positive and negative, to determine whether, based on the weight of that evidence, a valuation allowance is required.As of December 31, 2010 the Company had approximately $22.0 million of net deferred tax assets in the U.S. and $19.0 million of net deferred tax assets related to certain international locations whose recoverability is dependent upon their future profitability. As of December 31, 2010 the deferred tax valuation allowance was $22.6 million and related primarily to tax losses in foreign jurisdictions and U.S. federal and state tax credits which do not meet the “more-likely-than-not” standard under current accounting guidance. The utilization of these state tax credits are subject to numerous factors including various expiration dates, generation of future taxable income over extended periods of time and state income tax apportionment factors which are subject to change.When there is a change in judgment concerning the recovery of deferred tax assets in future periods, a valuation allowance is recorded into earnings during the quarter in which the change in judgment occurred. In 2010, the Company made adjustments to its deferred tax assets and corresponding valuation allowances. The net change to the valuation allowance of $6.6 million was due to a $3.7 million valuation allowance for its deferred tax assets in Spain that do not meet the “more-likely-than-not” standard and a $2.1 million increase in the United States primarily for valuation of executive compensation that may be limited for tax purposes in the future and certain state credits and NOLs that do not meet the “more-likely-than-not” standard; and a $0.8 million increase in the valuation allowance in certain other foreign jurisdictions.On February 20, 2011 the Company received notice of an adverse decision by the Canadian Revenue Agency (“CRA”) in regards to the Company's attempt to recover taxes paid to Canada with respect to the years 2001 and 2002. In 2005, through the Competent Authority process, the Company sought relief under the United States-Canada Income Tax Convention for avoidance of double taxation arising from adjustments to the taxable income originally reported to these jurisdictions. At December 31, 2010, the Company continued to believe that collection of the income tax receivable was more likely than not. Upon receipt of the notification, the Company can no longer conclude that the collection of this income tax receivable is more likely than not. Consistent with accounting for tax positions that no longer meet the recognition criteria, the Company expects to reverse the income tax receivable of $8.9 million (which includes $3.9 million of accumulated foreign exchange gains since the position was first established in 2005) through income tax expense in the first quarter of 2011. The Company continues to believe in the merits of its claim for which it sought relief from double taxation thru the Competent Authority process. As such, the Company is exploring and intends to vigorously pursue any available remedies in response to the CRA decision.As of December 31, 2010, after consideration of all tax loss and tax credit carry back opportunities, the Company had net foreign tax loss carry forwards expiring as follows (amounts in thousands): <div><table style="border-collapse:collapse;margin-top:20px;"><tr style="height: 17px"><td colspan="2" style="width: 395px; text-align:left;border-color:#000000;min-width:395px;">2011</td><td style="width: 64px; text-align:left;border-color:#000000;min-width:64px;"> </td><td style="width: 12px; text-align:left;border-color:#000000;min-width:12px;">$</td><td style="width: 75px; text-align:right;border-color:#000000;min-width:75px;"> -</td></tr><tr style="height: 17px"><td colspan="2" style="width: 395px; text-align:left;border-color:#000000;min-width:395px;">2012</td><td style="width: 64px; text-align:left;border-color:#000000;min-width:64px;"> </td><td style="width: 12px; text-align:left;border-color:#000000;min-width:12px;"> </td><td style="width: 75px; text-align:right;border-color:#000000;min-width:75px;"> -</td></tr><tr style="height: 17px"><td colspan="2" style="width: 395px; text-align:left;border-color:#000000;min-width:395px;">2013</td><td style="width: 64px; text-align:left;border-color:#000000;min-width:64px;"> </td><td style="width: 12px; text-align:left;border-color:#000000;min-width:12px;"> </td><td style="width: 75px; text-align:right;border-color:#000000;min-width:75px;"> -</td></tr><tr style="height: 17px"><td colspan="2" style="width: 395px; text-align:left;border-color:#000000;min-width:395px;">2014</td><td style="width: 64px; text-align:left;border-color:#000000;min-width:64px;"> </td><td style="width: 12px; text-align:left;border-color:#000000;min-width:12px;"> </td><td style="width: 75px; text-align:right;border-color:#000000;min-width:75px;"> 7,073</td></tr><tr style="height: 17px"><td colspan="2" style="width: 395px; text-align:left;border-color:#000000;min-width:395px;">2015</td><td style="width: 64px; text-align:left;border-color:#000000;min-width:64px;"> </td><td style="width: 12px; text-align:left;border-color:#000000;min-width:12px;"> </td><td style="width: 75px; text-align:right;border-color:#000000;min-width:75px;"> 340</td></tr><tr style="height: 17px"><td colspan="2" style="width: 395px; text-align:left;border-color:#000000;min-width:395px;">No expiration</td><td style="width: 64px; text-align:left;border-color:#000000;min-width:64px;"> </td><td style="width: 12px; border-bottom-style:solid;border-bottom-width:1px;text-align:left;border-color:#000000;min-width:12px;"> </td><td style="width: 75px; border-bottom-style:solid;border-bottom-width:1px;text-align:right;border-color:#000000;min-width:75px;"> 29,480</td></tr><tr style="height: 18px"><td style="width: 12px; text-align:left;border-color:#000000;min-width:12px;"> </td><td style="width: 383px; text-align:left;border-color:#000000;min-width:383px;">Total</td><td style="width: 64px; text-align:left;border-color:#000000;min-width:64px;"> </td><td style="width: 12px; border-top-style:solid;border-top-width:1px;border-bottom-style:double;border-bottom-width:3px;text-align:left;border-color:#000000;min-width:12px;">$</td><td style="width: 75px; border-top-style:solid;border-top-width:1px;border-bottom-style:double;border-bottom-width:3px;text-align:right;border-color:#000000;min-width:75px;"> 36,893</td></tr><tr style="height: 18px"><td style="width: 12px; text-align:left;border-color:#000000;min-width:12px;"> </td><td style="width: 383px; text-align:left;border-color:#000000;min-width:383px;"> </td><td style="width: 64px; text-align:left;border-color:#000000;min-width:64px;"> </td><td style="width: 12px; border-top-style:double;border-top-width:3px;text-align:left;border-color:#000000;min-width:12px;"> </td><td style="width: 75px; border-top-style:double;border-top-width:3px;text-align:left;border-color:#000000;min-width:75px;"> </td></tr></table></div>As of December 31, 2010, domestically, the Company had a state tax credit carry-forwards of $9.4 million that if unused will expire between 2011 and 2023.As of December 31, 2010 the cumulative amount of foreign earnings considered permanently invested outside the U.S. was $209.0 million. Those earnings do not include earnings from certain subsidiaries which the Company intends to repatriate to the U.S. or are otherwise considered available for distribution to the U.S. Accordingly, no provision for U.S. federal or state income taxes or foreign withholding taxes has been provided on these undistributed earnings. If these earnings become taxable in the U.S, the Company would be subject to incremental tax expense, after any applicable foreign tax credit, and foreign withholding tax expense. The Company has been granted “Tax Holidays” as an incentive to attract foreign investment by the governments of the Philippines and Costa Rica. Generally, a Tax Holiday is an agreement between the Company and a foreign government under which the Company receives certain tax benefits in that country, such as exemption from taxation on profits derived from export-related activities. In the Philippines, the Company has been granted 14 separate agreements with an initial period of four years and additional periods for varying years, expiring at various times between 2011 and 2013. The aggregate effect on income tax expense for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 was approximately $7.6 million, $8.9 million and $9.2 million, respectively, which had a favorable impact on net income per share of $0.13, $0.14 and $0.14, respectively.Accounting for Uncertainty in Income TaxesIn accordance with ASC 740, the Company has recorded a reserve for uncertain tax positions. The total amount of interest and penalties recognized in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) as of December 31, 2010 was approximately $0.1 million and the total amount of interest and penalties recognized in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2010 was approximately $0.1 million.The Company had a reserve for uncertain tax benefits, on a net basis, of $9.0 million and $19.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The liability for uncertain tax positions was reduced by $3.8 million for tax positions that were resolved favorably or expired. It was also reduced by $9.2 million on account of new information used in the measurement of an unrecognized tax benefit. It is also reasonably possible that a substantial change in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will occur in 2011. The Company anticipates it is reasonably possible that it will reach a settlement with the IRS concerning disallowed deductions on the Company's 2002 tax year. The amount of unrecognized tax benefits associated with this issue is $8.1 million. The range of settlements, which would positively affect income tax expense in 2011, is between $2.1 million and $8.1 million. If the Company recognized these remaining unrecorded tax benefits, approximately $9.0 million of tax benefits and tax related interest and penalties accrued, such recognition would favorably impact the effective tax rate.The tabular reconciliation of the reserve for uncertain tax benefits on a gross basis for the year ended December 31, 2010 is presented below (amounts in thousands):<div><table style="border-collapse:collapse;margin-top:20px;"><tr style="height: 17px"><td colspan="2" style="width: 395px;
