We intend to reinvest our accumulated foreign earnings, which approximated $15.6 million at October 31, 2017, indefinitely. As a result, we have not provided any deferred income taxes on such unremitted earnings. For fiscal years 2017, 2016 and 2015, income before income taxes related to domestic operations was approximately $57.5 million, $61.0 million, and $41.5 million. For fiscal years 2017, 2016 and 2015, income (loss) before income taxes related to foreign operations was approximately $0.2 million, $(0.6) million and $1.8 million. As of October 31, 2017 and 2016, we had liability of $0.7 million and $0.4 million for unrecognized tax benefits related to various foreign income tax matters. We are subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income of multiple state tax and foreign tax jurisdictions. We are no longer subject to U.S. income tax examinations for the fiscal years prior to October 31, 2014, and are no longer subject to state income tax examinations for fiscal years prior to October 31, 2013. Any change in the U.S. tax law has the potential to materially impact our consolidated financial statements.
