As at December 28, 2019, the Company had approximately $0.6 million (December 29, 2018 - $1.1 million) in U.S. federal scientific research investment tax credits and $0.9 million (December 29, 2018 - $0.9 million) in U.S. State research and development tax credits, which will expire in varying amounts up to 2029. As at December 28, 2019, the Company had U.S. federal non-capital loss carry-forwards of approximately $78.0 million (December 29, 2018 - $72.0 million). In addition, the Company had state loss carry-forwards of approximately $14.4 million as at December 28, 2019 (December 29, 2018 - $15.1 million). These amounts are available to reduce future federal and state income taxes. As at December 28, 2019, the Company had Canadian capital losses of approximately $28.9 million (December 29, 2018 - $29.7 million) for which a full valuation allowance exists. These amounts are available to reduce future capital gains and do not expire. The Company records net deferred tax assets to the extent it believes these assets will more likely than not be realized. In making such determinations, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial operations. Based on this evaluation, as at December 28, 2019, a valuation allowance of $6.2 million (December 29, 2018 - $5.4 million) had been recorded against certain assets to reduce the net benefit recorded in the consolidated financial statements. Undistributed earnings of the Company's non-Canadian affiliates and associated companies are considered to be indefinitely reinvested; accordingly, no provision for deferred taxes has been provided thereon. The Company believes it has adequately examined its tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return; however, amounts asserted by taxing authorities could differ from the Company's positions. Accordingly, additional provisions on federal, provincial, state and foreign tax-related matters could be recorded in the future as revised estimates are made or the underlying matters are settled or otherwise resolved. Consistent with its historical financial reporting, the Company has classified interest and penalties related to income tax liabilities, when applicable, as part of interest expense in its consolidated statements of operations, and with the related liability on the consolidated balance sheets. The number of years with open tax audits varies depending on the tax jurisdiction. The Company's major taxing jurisdictions include Canada (including Ontario), the U.S. (including multiple states), and the Netherlands. The Company's 2014 through 2018 tax years (and any tax year for which available non-capital loss carry-forwards were generated up to the amount of non-capital loss carry-forward) remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for U.S. federal tax purposes, and the 2010 through 2018 tax years remain subject to examination by the appropriate governmental agencies for Canadian federal tax purposes. There are other ongoing audits in various other jurisdictions that are not considered material to the Company's consolidated financial statements.
