        Actual income taxes reported from continuing operations are different than would have been computed by applying the federal statutory tax rate to income from continuing operations before income taxes. The reasons for this difference are as follows:

        At December 31, 2014, the Company had foreign net operating loss carry forwards of $41.9 million for income tax purposes before considering valuation allowances; $26.4 million of the losses can be carried forward indefinitely, $10.0 million expire in 2020 and $5.5 million expire in 2023. The net operating losses consist of $26.4 million related to Austrian operations and $15.5 million to Dutch operations.

        At December 31, 2014, the Company has U.S. capital loss carry forwards of $6.2 million for income tax purposes before considering valuation allowances; $2.6 million expire in 2015, $2.1 million expire in 2016, $1.0 million expire in 2017 and $0.5 million expire in 2018.

        At December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had valuation allowances of $12.5 million and $13.1 million, respectively. At December 31, 2014, $6.2 million relates to U.S. capital losses and $6.3 million relates to Austrian net operating losses. At December 31, 2013, $6.1 million related to U.S. capital losses and $7.0 million related to Austrian net operating losses. Management believes that the ability of the Company to use such losses within the applicable carry forward period does not rise to the level of the more likely than not threshold. The Company does not have a valuation allowance on other deferred tax assets, as management believes that it is more likely than not that the Company will recover the net deferred tax assets. Management believes it is more likely than not that the future reversals of the deferred tax liabilities, together with forecasted income, will be sufficient to fully recover the deferred tax assets.

        Changes enacted in income tax laws had no material effect on the Company in 2014, 2013 or 2012.

        Undistributed earnings of the Company's foreign subsidiaries amounted to approximately $386.0 million at December 31, 2014, $397.2 million at December 31, 2013, and $329.7 million at December 31, 2012. Those earnings are considered to be indefinitely reinvested and, accordingly, no provision for U.S. federal and state income taxes has been recorded thereon. Upon distribution of those earnings, in the form of dividends or otherwise, the Company will be subject to withholding taxes payable to the various foreign countries. Determination of the amount of U.S. income tax liability that would be incurred is not practicable because of the complexities associated with its hypothetical calculation; however, unrecognized foreign tax credits may be available to reduce some portion of any U.S. income tax liability. Withholding taxes of approximately $12.0 million would be payable upon remittance of all previously unremitted earnings at December 31, 2014.
