A deferred tax valuation allowance is required when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized. At June 30, 2014, the Company has provided a valuation allowance for potential capital loss carryovers resulting from excess tax basis in certain of its equity investments. The Company believes that it is more likely than not that the results of future operations will generate sufficient taxable income to realize the recorded deferred tax assets.

During fiscal 2013, the Company’s R&D Europe subsidiary declared and paid a dividend of £20 million ($30.7 million) to the Company. The £20 million R&D Europe earnings had previously been taxed in the U.S. and therefore, no additional U.S. tax resulted from the repatriation. Undistributed earnings of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries amounted to approximately $174 million as of June 30, 2014. Deferred taxes have not been provided on such undistributed earnings, as the Company has either paid U.S. taxes on the undistributed earnings or intends to indefinitely reinvest the undistributed earnings in the foreign operations.

The Company’s unrecognized tax benefits at June 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012, including accrued interest and penalties, were not material. The Company does not believe it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase in the next twelve months. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S federal tax jurisdiction, the states of Minnesota, Massachusetts and California, and several jurisdictions outside the U.S. U.S. tax returns for 2011 and subsequent years remain open to examination by the tax authorities. The Company’s major non-U.S. tax jurisdictions are the United Kingdom, France and Germany, which have tax years open to examination for 2011 and subsequent years, and China, which has calendar year 2014 open to examination.
