As of January 31, 2017 and 2016, intangible deferred tax liabilities of   $13.8 million and $14.3 million, respectively, relate to intangible assets in Switzerland. The remaining intangible assets relate primarily to the U.S. The following is a reconciliation of the statutory federal income tax rate to the effective rate reported in the financial statements for the years ended January 31:
|  |  | 2017 |  |  | 2016 |  |  | 2015 |
Provision for Federal income taxes at the statutory rate |  |  |  |  | 35.0% |  |  |  |  |  | 35.0% |  |  |  |  |  | 35.0% |  |

Undistributed earnings of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries amounted to approximately $32 million at January 31, 2017. Those earnings are considered indefinitely reinvested and, accordingly, no provision for U.S. income taxes has been provided thereon. Upon distribution of those earnings in the form of dividends or otherwise, the Company would be subject to both U.S. income taxes (subject to an adjustment for foreign tax credits) and withholding taxes payable to the various foreign countries, as applicable. At this point in time it is not practical to estimate the amount of taxes payable if the earnings were remitted. Unrecognized Tax Benefits A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amounts of gross unrecognized tax benefits (excluding interest and penalties) is as follows:
|  |  | 2017 |  |  | 2016 |  |  | 2015 |
Balance at February 1, |  |  |  |  | 1,094 |  |  |  |  |  | 1,094 |  |  |  |  |  | 1,094 |  |
Additions based on tax positions related to the current year |  |  |  |  | 0 |  |  |  |  |  | 0 |  |  |  |  |  | 0 |  |
Additions for tax positions of prior years |  |  |  |  | 0 |  |  |  |  |  | 0 |  |  |  |  |  | 0 |  |
Reductions for tax positions of prior years |  |  |  |  | 0 |  |  |  |  |  | 0 |  |  |  |  |  | 0 |  |
Settlements |  |  |  |  | 0 |  |  |  |  |  | 0 |  |  |  |  |  | 0 |  |
Lapses of statutes of limitations |  |  |  |  | 0 |  |  |  |  |  | 0 |  |  |  |  |  | 0 |  |
Balance at January 31, |  |  |  |  | 1,094 |  |  |  |  |  | 1,094 |  |  |  |  |  | 1,094 |  |
The Company accounts for uncertain income tax positions in accordance with ASC Topic 740 Income Taxes. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. As of January 31, 2017, there was an increase in the unrecognized tax position reserve of approximately $125,000 for the current year accrual of interest and penalties on existing uncertain income tax positions reserves. The Company’s policy on classification is to include interest in “interest and financing charges” and penalties in “selling, general and administrative expense” in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company and certain of its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. Federal income tax as well as income tax of multiple state, local, and foreign jurisdictions. One of its foreign subsidiaries, T.R.B. International S.A., has a ruling with the Swiss government that taxes commercial foreign sourced income at an 11.6% rate. The ruling was extended to the year ending January 31, 2018. Of the major jurisdictions, the Company and its subsidiaries are subject to examination in the United States and various foreign jurisdictions for fiscal year 2013 and forward. It is currently under audit examination by New Jersey and Belgium for fiscal year 2010 and forward. We believe that it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits of  $1.6 million (inclusive of tax, interest and penalties) will not change during the next twelve months due to the applicable statutes of limitations.
