At December 31, 2016, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes of approximately $193.2 million, which begin to expire in 2019 through 2036. As a result of the change in ownership which occurred pursuant to the May 2002 recapitalization, utilization of approximately $4.9 million of the federal net operating loss carryforwards is limited to approximately $0.7 million per year for the remaining life of the net operating losses. The Company had approximately $172.6 million of net operating loss carryforwards for state income tax purposes, which expire in 2019 through 2036. Also at December 31, 2016, the Company had U.S. foreign tax credit carryforwards of approximately $2.2 million and state tax credit carryforwards of approximately $1.0 million. The Company had foreign net operating loss carryforwards of about $168.3 million, $84.1 million of which expire in 2017 through 2036 and $84.2 million of which can be carried forward indefinitely. As of December 31, 2016, the Company had a valuation allowance of $4.8 million due to uncertainties in respect to its ability to utilize its U.S. (federal and state) net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards before they expire. The Company also had a valuation allowance of $15.4 million due to uncertainties in its ability to utilize foreign net operating loss carryforwards and other foreign deferred tax assets. At December 31, 2016, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $4.7 million. An indemnity receivable of $3.0 million has also been recorded in respect to the VION Acquisition. There was no material income statement activity in fiscal 2016 in respect to unrecognized tax benefits. All of the unrecognized tax benefits would favorably impact the Company's effective tax rate if recognized. The Company believes it is reasonably possible that unrecognized tax benefits could change by $1.7 million in the next twelve months. The possible change in unrecognized tax benefits relates to the expiration of certain statutes of limitation and the possible settlement of an ongoing income tax audit. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties, as appropriate, related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. As of December 31, 2016, interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits were $1.5 million. These interest and penalties related to the unrecognized tax benefits from the VION Acquisition and were primarily recorded in purchase accounting. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amounts of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows (in thousands):
| December 31, 2016 |  | January 2, 2016
Balance at beginning of Year | $ | 5,604 |  |  | $ | 8,130 |
Change in tax positions related to prior years | 99 |  |  | (1,953 | )
Expiration of the Statute of Limitations | (1,036 | ) |  | (573 | )
Balance at end of year | $ | 4,667 |  |  | $ | 5,604 |
In fiscal 2016, the Company's major taxing jurisdictions are U.S. (federal and state), Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany and the Netherlands. The Company is currently subject to federal and state examinations in the U.S. for tax years 2012 through 2014. The Company is also subject to regular examination by various foreign tax authorities. Although the final outcome of these examinations is not yet determinable, the Company does not anticipate that any of the examinations will have a significant impact on the Company's results of operations or financial position. The statute of limitations for the Company's major jurisdictions is open for varying periods, but is generally closed through the 2010 tax year. Prior to fiscal 2014, the Company did not have significant operations outside of the U.S. During fiscal 2013, the Company began operations in Canada through the Rothsay Acquisition. During fiscal 2014, the Company began operations in the other major taxing jurisdictions through the VION Acquisition. The Company generally expects to indefinitely reinvest the earnings of its foreign subsidiaries outside the U.S. and has not provided deferred income taxes on the accumulated earnings of its foreign subsidiaries except for the accumulated earnings of certain joint venture companies. At December 31, 2016, the amount of undistributed foreign subsidiary earnings indefinitely reinvested outside of the U.S. for which no U.S. deferred incomes taxes have been provided is approximately $71.8 million. It is not practicable to determine the deferred tax liability related to these undistributed earnings.
