The reconciliation of the provision calculated using the U.S. federal tax rate with the provision for income taxes presented in the consolidated financial statements is as follows:

The net deferred income tax liability recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets results from differences between financial statement and tax reporting of income and deductions.  A summary of the composition of the Company's net deferred income tax liability follows:

Deferred income taxes include the impact of state investment tax credits of $311, which expire from 2016 to 2030 and state investment tax credits of $674, which have an unlimited carryforward period.

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers, within each taxing jurisdiction, whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based on the consideration of the weight of both positive and negative evidence, management determined that a portion of the deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2016 and 2015 related to certain state investment tax credits would not be realized, and recorded a valuation allowance of $985 and $952, respectively.

The Company files federal and state income tax returns in several domestic and international jurisdictions.  In most tax jurisdictions, returns are subject to examination by the relevant tax authorities for a number of years after the returns have been filed.  The Company is subject to U.S. federal examination for tax years 2013 through 2015 and examination in state tax jurisdictions for tax years 2011 through 2015.  The Company is subject to examination in the People’s Republic of China for tax years 2012 through 2015.  The liability for unrecognized tax benefits was $0 at each of March 31, 2016 and 2015.
