The future tax benefits of net operating loss (NOL) carry-forwards and foreign tax credits are recognized to the extent that realization of these benefits is considered more likely than not. The Company bases this determination on the expectation that related operations will be sufficiently profitable or various tax planning strategies will enable the Company to utilize the NOL carry-forwards and/or foreign tax credits. To the extent that available evidence about the future raises doubt about the realization of these tax benefits, a valuation allowance is established.

At May 29, 2021, the Company had state and local tax NOL carry-forwards of $19.7 million, the state tax benefit of which is $1.1 million, which have various expiration periods from 1 to 21 years. The Company also had state credits with a state tax benefit of $0.4 million, which expire in 1 to 6 years. For financial statement purposes, the NOL carry-forwards and state tax credits have been recognized as deferred tax assets, subject to a valuation allowance of $0.7 million.

At May 29, 2021, the Company had federal NOL carry-forwards of $5.2 million, the tax benefit of which is $1.1 million, which expire in 8 years. For financial statement purposes, the NOL carry-forwards have been recognized as deferred tax assets.

At May 29, 2021, the Company had federal deferred assets of $0.8 million, the tax benefit of which is $0.2 million, which is related to an investment in a foreign joint venture. For financial statement purposes, the assets have been recognized as deferred tax assets, subject to a valuation allowance of $0.2 million.

At May 29, 2021, the Company had foreign net operating loss carry-forwards of $36.1 million, the tax benefit of which is $8.6 million, which have expiration periods from 7 years to an unlimited term. The Company also had foreign tax credits with a tax benefit of $0.3 million which will expire in 11 years. For financial statement purposes, the NOL carry-forwards and foreign tax credits have been recognized as deferred tax assets, subject to a valuation allowance of $7.3 million.
At May 29, 2021, the Company had foreign deferred assets of $4.0 million, the tax benefit of which is $0.7 million, which is related to various deferred taxes in Hong Kong as well as buildings in the United Kingdom. For financial statement purposes, the assets have been recognized as deferred tax assets, subject to a valuation allowance of $0.7 million.

The Company intends to repatriate $107.0 million in cash held in certain foreign jurisdictions and as such has recorded a deferred tax liability related to foreign withholding taxes on these future dividends received in the U.S. from foreign subsidiaries of $0.7 million. A significant portion of this cash was previously taxed under the U.S. Tax Cut and Jobs Act (TCJA) one-time U.S. tax liability on undistributed foreign earnings. The Company intends to remain indefinitely reinvested in the remaining undistributed earnings outside the U.S, which was $200.1 million on May 29, 2021. Determination of the total amount of unrecognized deferred income tax on the remaining undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries is not practicable.

The components of the Company's unrecognized tax benefits are as follows:
(In millions)
Balance at June 1, 2019$1.9 
Increases related to current year income tax positions0.3 
Decreases related to prior year income tax positions(0.1)
Decreases related to lapse of applicable statute of limitations(0.2)
Balance at May 30, 2020$1.9 
Increases related to current year income tax positions0.1 
Increases related to prior year income tax positions0.4 
Decreases related to lapse of applicable statute of limitations(0.3)
Balance at May 29, 2021$2.1 

The Company's effective tax rate would have been affected by the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits had this amount been recognized as a reduction to income tax expense.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits through Income tax expense in its Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Interest and penalties and the related liability, which are excluded from the table above, were as follows for the periods indicated:
(In millions)May 29, 2021May 30, 2020June 1, 2019
Interest and penalty expense (income)$0.1 $0.1 $(0.3)
Liability for interest and penalties$0.9 $0.8 

The Company is subject to periodic audits by domestic and foreign tax authorities. Currently, the Company is undergoing routine periodic audits in both domestic and foreign tax jurisdictions. It is reasonably possible that the amounts of unrecognized tax benefits could change in the next 12 months as a result of new positions that may be taken on income tax returns, settlement of tax positions and the closing of statutes of limitation. It is not expected that any of the changes will be material to the Company's Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

During the year, the returns for fiscal years 2018 through 2020 have been fully accepted by the Internal Revenue Service under the Compliance Assurance Process (CAP) and the Company is awaiting final closing documentation. For the majority of the remaining tax jurisdictions, the Company is no longer subject to state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for fiscal years before 2018.
