At December 31, 2019, the Company had foreign operating loss carryforwards of $18.2 million for tax purposes, which will be available to offset future taxable income. If not used, $6.3 million of carryforwards will expire between 2020 and 2029, while $11.9 million do not expire. A valuation allowance has been placed on foreign operating loss carryforwards of $18.2 million, tax effected the valuation on the net operating loss is $6.3 million. In addition, a valuation allowance has been recorded on the foreign tax credit carryforward, and the R&D credit carryforward of $70.7 million which will expire between 2026 and 2029. The Company uses the tax law ordering approach when determining when excess tax benefits have been realized. The valuation allowances have been recognized for the foreign tax credit, the foreign net operating loss carryforwards, and the R&D credit carryforward. The valuation allowances were recognized for assets which it is more likely than not some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. In making such determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary difference, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial operations. When the Company determines that there is sufficient positive evidence to utilize the foreign tax credits, the foreign net operating losses, or the R&D credit carryforward, the valuation will be released which would reduce the provision for income taxes. The deferred tax asset valuation adjustments for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 are as follows (U.S. dollars in thousands):
|  | Year Ended December 31, |
|  | 2019 |  |  | 2018 |  |  | 2017 |
Balance at the beginning of period |  | $ | 68,697 |  |  | $ | 56,906 |  |  | $ | 9,137 |
Additions charged to cost and expenses |  |  | 10,913 | (1) |  |  | 27,902 | (4) |  |  | 53,983 | (6)
Decreases |  |  | (3,343 | )(2) |  |  | (16,215 | )(5) |  |  | (6,400 | )(7)
Adjustments |  |  | 775 | (3) |  |  | 104 | (3) |  |  | 186 | (3)
Balance at the end of the period |  | $ | 77,042 |  |  | $ | 68,697 |  |  | $ | 56,906 |
(1) | Increase in valuation is due primarily to $9.8 million that was recorded on the foreign tax credit carryforward. The additional amount is due to net operating losses in foreign markets.
(2) | The decrease was due primarily to the utilization of foreign tax credits, and expiration of foreign net operating losses.
(3) | Represents the net currency effects of translating valuation allowances at current rates of exchange.
(4) | Increase in valuation is due primarily to the $27.2 million that was recorded on the foreign tax credit carryforward. The additional amount is due to net operating losses in foreign markets
(5) | The decrease was due primarily to the utilization of foreign tax credits. Decrease is due primarily to the write-off of Brazil deferred tax assets, which had no impact to the income statement, as a valuation allowance had been previously recorded against the asset.
(6) | Increase in valuation allowance is due primarily to the $52.0 million that was recorded on the foreign tax credit carryforward. The additional amount is due to net operating losses in foreign markets.
(7) | Decrease is due primarily to the write-off of Brazil deferred tax assets, which had no impact to the income statement, as a valuation allowance had been previously recorded against the asset.

The Company is subject to regular audits by federal, state and foreign tax authorities. These audits may result in proposed assessments that may result in additional tax liabilities. The actual tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 compared to the statutory U.S. Federal tax rate is as follows:
|  | Year Ended December 31, |
|  | 2019 |  |  | 2018 |  |  | 2017 |

The effective rate for 2018 was significantly impacted by the restructuring and impairment expenses incurred in Q4 of 2018, as well as additional valuation allowances related to foreign tax credits. The effective tax rate for 2017 was impacted largely due to the Tax Reform Act. The cumulative amount of undistributed earnings of the Company’s non-U.S. Subsidiaries held for indefinite reinvestment is approximately $60.0 million, at December 31, 2019. If this amount were repatriated to the United States, the amount of incremental taxes would be approximately $6.0 million.
