A reconciliation of the statutory United States federal income tax rate to Hasbro's effective income tax rate is as follows.

Hasbro has a valuation allowance for certain deferred tax assets at December 2 5, 2016 of $24,065, which is a n in crease of $472 from $23,593 at December 2 7, 2015. The valuation allowance pertains to certain U.S. state and international loss and credit carryforwards, some of which have no expiration and others that would expire beginning in 201 7. Based on Hasbro's history of taxable income and the anticipation of sufficient taxable income in years when the temporary differences are expecte d to become tax deductions, the Company believes that it will realize the benefit of all of the remaining net deferred tax assets. At December 2 5, 201 6 and December 2 7, 201 5, the Company's net deferred income taxes are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets as follows:
| 2016 |  | 2015
Other assets |  | 212,317 |  |  | 199,563
Other liabilities |  | (5,452) |  |  | (8,747)
Net deferred income taxes | $ | 206,865 |  |  | 190,816
A reconciliation of unrecognized tax benefits, excluding potential interest and penalties, for th e fiscal years ended December 25, 201 6, December 27, 2015 and December 28, 2014 is as follows:
| 2016 |  | 2015 |  | 2014
Balance at beginning of year | $ | 63,549 |  |  | 35,416 |  |  | 55,459
Gross increases in prior period tax positions |  | 2,727 |  |  | 491 |  |  | 34,225
Gross decreases in prior period tax positions |  | (3,103) |  |  | (1,773) |  |  | (1,510)
Gross increases in current period tax positions |  | 34,155 |  |  | 32,547 |  |  | 8,470
Decreases related to settlements with tax authorities |  | (11,662) |  |  | (355) |  |  | (58,652)
Decreases from the expiration of statute of limitations |  | (5,278) |  |  | (2,777) |  |  | (2,576)
Balance at end of year | $ | 80,388 |  |  | 63,549 |  |  | 35,416
If the $80,388 balance as of December 25, 2016 is recognized, approximately $70,000 would decrease the effective tax rate in the period in which each of the benefits is recognized. The remaining amount would be offset by the reversal of related deferred tax and other assets. During 201 6, 201 5, and 2014 the Company recognized $2,135, $1,422 and $3,134, respectively, of potential interest and penalties, which are included as a component of income taxes in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. At December 2 5, 2016, December 27, 2015 and December 28, 2014, the Compa ny had accrued poten tial interest and penalties of $3,966, $4,778 and $4,042, respectively. The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the United States and various state and international jurisdictions. In the normal course of bus iness, the Company is regularly audited by U.S. federal, state and local and international tax authorities in various tax jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations for years before 201 2. With few exceptions, th e Company is no longer subject to U.S. state or local and non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities in its major jurisdictions for years before 2009. In the third quarter of 2016, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service commenced an examinati on related to the 2012 and 2013 amended U.S. federal income tax returns. The Company is also under income tax examination in several U.S. state and local and non-U.S. jurisdictions. During 2014, as a result of amending 2010 through 2012 U.S. fed eral income tax returns and making similar adjustments identified in the completion of the 2008 and 2009 U.S. Internal Revenue Service examinations, the Company recognized $12,159 of previously accrued unrecognized tax benefits including the reversal of re lated accrued interest, primarily related to the deductibility of certain expenses. Of this amount, $324 was recorded as a reduction of deferred tax assets and the remainder as a reduction to income tax expense. The total income tax benefit from the amende d returns, including other adjustments, was $13,480 during the first quarter of 2014. The Company had outstanding tax assessments in Mexico for the years 2000 to 2007 and for 2009 based on transfer pricing issues between the Company's subsid iaries with respect to the Company's operations in Mexico. During the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company and the Mexican tax authorities resolved these disputes which resulted in a cash payment of approximately $65,000 by the Company to the Mexican tax au thorities. During 2014, the income tax charge related to this resolution totaled $4,533. This settlement agreement resolved all of the outstanding tax assessments and also closed all other completed tax years through and including 2013. The cumulative amount of undistributed earnings of Hasbro's international subsidiaries held for indefinite reinvestment is approximately $2,582,000 at December 2 5, 2016. In the event that all international undistributed earnings were remitted to th e United States under current U.S. income tax laws, the amount of incremental taxes would be approximately $641,000, however the remittance of such undistributed earnings would be limited by the Company’s available cash balance.
