Realization of the Company’s deferred tax assets is dependent upon many factors, including, but not limited to, the Company’s ability to generate sufficient taxable income. Although realization of the Company’s net deferred tax assets is not assured, management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will be realized. On an ongoing basis, management will assess whether it remains more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will be realized. For financial reporting purposes, the Company’s investment in foreign subsidiaries does not exceed its tax basis. Therefore no deferred income taxes have been provided. The Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position if it is more likely than not that the position is sustainable, based solely on its technical merits and consideration of the relevant taxing authority’s widely understood administrative practices and precedents. For tax positions meeting the “more likely than not” threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. The Company recognizes accrued interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in income tax expense. During 2014 and in connection with the sale of 14 Company-owned stores to franchisees, the Company recognized a capital gain and also released $0.3 million of a deferred tax valuation allowance. During 2014, the Company accrued interest expense of $0.1 million. At December 28, 2014, the amount of unrecognized tax benefits was $2.9 million of which, if ultimately recognized, $1.7 million would be recognized as an income tax benefit and reduce the Company’s effective tax rate. At December 28, 2014, the Company had $0.7 million of accrued interest and no accrued penalties. This amount is excluded from the $2.9 million total unrecognized tax benefit. During 2015 and in connection with the sale of four Company-owned stores to franchisees, the Company recognized a capital gain and also released $0.3 million of a deferred tax valuation allowance. During 2015, the Company reversed an interest expense accrual of $0.6 million. At January 3, 2016, the amount of unrecognized tax benefits was $2.1 million of which, if ultimately recognized, $1.7 million would be recognized as an income tax benefit and reduce the Company’s effective tax rate. At January 3, 2016, the Company had less than $0.1 million of accrued interest and no accrued penalties. At January 1, 2017, the amount of unrecognized tax benefits was $2.0 million of which, if ultimately recognized, $1.6 million would be recognized as an income tax benefit and reduce the Company’s effective tax rate. At January 1, 2017, the Company had less than $0.1 million of accrued interest and no accrued penalties. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows (in thousands):

The Company continues to be under examination by certain states. The Company’s Federal statute of limitation has expired for years prior to 2013 and the relevant state and foreign statutes vary. The Company expects the current ongoing examinations to be concluded in the next twelve months and does not expect the assessment of any significant additional amounts in excess of amounts reserved.
