	2013			%		2012			%		2011			%

The effective tax rate for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 includes an income tax benefit of $13,186 recorded in the current year related to a United States worthless stock tax deduction for our investment in one of our United Kingdom subsidiaries.

We have deferred tax benefits related to carryforward losses in the United Kingdom of $7,896, against which full valuation allowances have been recorded. Prior to the acquisition of Daniels, the Company’s United Kingdom subsidiaries had recorded historical losses and had been affected by restructuring and other charges. These losses represented sufficient evidence for management to determine that a full valuation allowance for these carryforward losses was appropriate. Under current U.K. tax law, our carryforward losses have no expiration. If the Company is able to realize any of these carryforward losses in the future, the provision for income taxes will be reduced by a release of the corresponding valuation allowance. At June 30, 2012, we had deferred tax assets totaling $1,690 in the United Kingdom related to fixed assets, for which full valuation allowances had been recorded. During fiscal 2013, we released these valuation allowances as we began to realize the benefits of such amounts.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Components of our deferred tax assets (liabilities) were as follows:



	June 30, 2013			June 30, 2012
Current deferred tax assets:
Basis difference on inventory	$	5,604		$	4,359
Reserves not currently deductible	11,941			11,106
Other	171			369
Current deferred tax assets	17,716			15,834

Noncurrent deferred tax assets/(liabilities):
Basis difference on intangible assets	(107,011		)	(93,090		)
Basis difference on property and equipment	(11,236		)	(13,475		)
Other comprehensive income	(9,056		)	(8,246		)
Net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards	17,666			14,911
Stock based compensation	5,354			3,458
Other	344			(8		)
Valuation allowances	(10,456		)	(11,183		)
Noncurrent deferred tax liabilities, net	(114,395		)	(107,633		)

Total net deferred tax liabilities	$	(96,679	)	$	(91,799	)

We have U.S. foreign tax credit carryforwards of $2,265 at June 30, 2013 with various expiration dates through 2023. We have U.S. tax net operating losses available for carryforward at June 30, 2013 of $2,855 that were generated by certain subsidiaries prior to their acquisition and have expiration dates through 2028. The use of pre-acquisition operating losses is subject to limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Code. We do not anticipate that these limitations will affect utilization of the carryforwards prior to their expiration. In addition to the net operating losses in the United Kingdom described above, we also have deferred tax benefits for foreign net operating losses of $4,079 which are available to reduce future income tax liabilities in Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany. The Company believes it is more likely than not that a portion of these net operating losses will not be realized and as such, a partial valuation allowance has been established against these deferred tax assets.

The changes in valuation allowances against deferred income tax assets were as follows:



	Fiscal Year ended June 30,
	2013			2012
Balance at beginning of year	$	11,183		$	10,426
Additions charged to income tax expense	1,278			1,354
Reductions credited to income tax expense	(1,690		)	—
Currency translation adjustments	(315		)	(597		)
Balance at end of year	$	10,456		$	11,183

As of June 30, 2013, the Company had approximately $63,000 of undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries for which taxes have not been provided as the Company has invested or expects to invest these undistributed earnings indefinitely. If in the future these earnings are repatriated to the U.S., or if the Company determines such earnings will be remitted in the foreseeable future, additional tax provisions would be required. Due to complexities in the tax laws and the assumptions that would have to be made, it is not practicable to estimate the amounts of income taxes that might be payable if some or all of such earnings were to be remitted.

Unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, activity is summarized below:



	Fiscal Year ended June 30,
	2013			2012			2011
Balance at beginning of year	$	1,337		$	1,472		$	2,248
Additions based on tax positions related to prior years	574			15			224
Additions for acquired companies	—			690			—
Reductions due to lapse in statute of limitations	(345		)	(840		)	(1,000		)
Balance at end of year	$	1,566		$	1,337		$	1,472

At June 30, 2013, $1,146 represents the amount that would impact the effective tax rate in future periods if recognized.

The Company records interest and penalties on tax uncertainties as a component of the provision for income taxes. The Company recognized $268, $(135) and $224 of interest and penalties related to the above unrecognized benefits within income tax expense for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Company had accrued $420 and $152 for interest and penalties at the end of fiscal 2013 and 2012, respectively.

The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various U.S. state jurisdictions and several foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2009. The Company is no longer subject to tax examinations in the United Kingdom for years prior to 2011. Given the uncertainty regarding when tax authorities will complete their examinations and the possible outcomes of their examinations, a current estimate of the range of reasonably possible significant increases or decreases of income tax that may occur within the next twelve months cannot be made. The Company’s federal income tax returns for fiscal 2010 and 2011 are currently being audited by the Internal Revenue Service. Although proposed adjustments have not been received for these years and the outcome of in-progress tax audits is always uncertain, management believes the ultimate outcome of the audit will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
