In assessing the need to establish a valuation reserve for the recoverability of deferred tax assets, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company considers relevant evidence, both positive and negative, to determine the need for a valuation allowance. Information evaluated includes the Company's financial position and results of operations for the current and preceding years, the availability of deferred tax liabilities and tax carrybacks, as well as an evaluation of currently available information about future years. As of July 30, 2016, the Company has sufficient taxable income in the federal carryback period and anticipates sufficient future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible. The Company also has the availability of future reversals of taxable temporary differences that are expected to generate taxable income in the future. Therefore, the ultimate realization of deferred tax assets for federal and state tax purposes appears more likely than not at July 30, 2016 and correspondingly no valuation allowance has been established. At July 30, 2016, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $3.0 million for federal income tax purposes. The federal carryforwards are subject to an annual limitation of approximately $0.3 million under Internal Revenue Code Section 382. The carryforwards expire at various times between fiscal years 2017 and 2027. The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the United States federal jurisdiction and in various state jurisdictions. UNFI Canada files income tax returns in Canada and certain of its provinces. U.S. federal income tax examination years prior to 2013 have either statutorily or administratively been closed with the Internal Revenue Service, and with limited exception, the fiscal tax years that remain subject to examination by state jurisdictions range from the Company's fiscal 2012 to fiscal 2015. The Company records interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. For the fiscal year ended July 30, 2016, the net tax benefit realized in the consolidated statement of income was de minimis. For the fiscal year ended August 1, 2015, the Company recognized net tax benefits of $0.5 million in its consolidated statement of income. For the fiscal year ended August 2, 2014, the Company recognized net tax benefits of $0.3 million in its consolidated statement of income related to tax examinations closed during the fiscal year. The retained earnings of the Company's non-U.S. subsidiaries that have not been subject to U.S. tax are $15.6 million at July 30, 2016. The Company considers these unremitted earnings to be indefinitely reinvested; therefore, we have not provided a deferred tax liability for any residual U.S. tax that may be due upon repatriation of these earnings. Because of the effect of U.S. foreign tax credits, it is not practicable to estimate the amount of tax that might be payable on these earnings in the event they no longer are indefinitely reinvested.
