NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 82 Note 6—Income Taxes (Continued) A reconciliation of the provision for income taxes, with the amount computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate (35% in 2005, 2004, and 2003) to income before provision for income taxes, is as follows (in millions):
## Table 0 ##
During 2005, the Company reversed certain tax contingency reserves and recorded a corresponding benefit to income tax expense primarily as a result of a change in the estimated outcome of certain tax disputes.
Additionally, during the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company recorded a benefit to tax expense to adjust its net deferred tax assets as a result of the Company’s year-end review of its deferred tax accounts, the impact of which was not material to the current or prior periods’ results of operations.
The total benefit to income tax expense from the reversal of these tax contingency reserves and adjustments to net deferred tax assets was $67 million.
The Company also recorded a $14 million credit to income tax expense resulting from a reduction of the valuation allowance.
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has completed its field audit of the Company’s federal income tax returns for all years prior to 2002 and proposed certain adjustments.
Certain of these adjustments are being contested through the IRS Appeals Office.
Substantially all IRS audit issues for these years have been resolved.
In addition, the Company is also subject to audits by state, local, and foreign tax authorities.
Management believes that adequate provisions have been made for any adjustments that may result from tax examinations.
However, the outcome of tax audits cannot be predicted with certainty.
Should any issues addressed in the Company’s tax audits be resolved in a manner not consistent with management’s expectations, the Company could be required to adjust its provision for income tax in the period such resolution occurs.
Note 7—Shareholders’ Equity Preferred Stock The Company has 5 million shares of authorized preferred stock, none of which is outstanding.
Under the terms of the Company’s Restated Articles of Incorporation, the Board of Directors is authorized to determine or alter the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of the Company’s authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock.
The generation of $13.3 in excess U. S.  foreign tax credits in fiscal year 2019 increased the balance of the tax credits and other tax carryforwards component.
Of the $20.8 foreign tax credits, $5.8 have indefinite carryforward periods.
As of 30 September 2019, the Company had the following loss carryforwards:
## Table 1 ##
Of the $352.6 of foreign net operating loss carryforwards, $148.9 have indefinite carryforward periods.
The valuation allowance as of 30 September 2019 of $92.1 primarily related to $42.8 of foreign credits and loss carryforwards as well as $44.6 related to foreign capital losses that were generated from the loss recorded on the exit from the EfW business in 2016.
If events warrant the reversal of the valuation allowance, it would result in a reduction of tax expense.
We believe it is more likely than not that future earnings and reversal of deferred tax liabilities will be sufficient to utilize our deferred tax assets, net of existing valuation allowance, as of 30 September 2019.
As a result of the Tax Act, we recorded $373.2 of federal income tax from the deemed repatriation tax on approximately $5.8 billion of previously undistributed earnings from our foreign subsidiaries and corporate joint ventures.
These earnings are now eligible to be repatriated to the U. S.  with reduced U. S.  tax impacts.
However, such earnings may be subject to foreign withholding and other taxes.
We record foreign and U. S.  income taxes on the undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries and corporate joint ventures unless those earnings are indefinitely reinvested.
The cumulative undistributed earnings that are considered to be indefinitely reinvested in foreign subsidiaries and corporate joint ventures are included in retained earnings on the consolidated balance sheets and amounted to $4.2 billion as of 30 September 2019.
An estimated $359.6 in additional foreign withholding and other income taxes would be due if these earnings were remitted as dividends.
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of the unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:
## Table 2 ##
As of 30 September 2019 and 2018, we had $231.7 and $233.6 of unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, respectively, of which $75.0 and $88.6, respectively, would impact the effective tax rate from continuing operations if recognized.
Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are recorded as a component of income tax expense and totaled $12.0, ($2.4), and $3.7 in fiscal years 2019, 2018, and 2017, respectively.
Our accrued balance for interest and penalties was $19.5 and $8.4 as of 30 September 2019 and 2018, respectively.
In fiscal year 2018, $119.2 in additions for tax positions of prior years related primarily to uncertain state tax filing positions taken related to the sale of PMD.
Additions for tax positions of the current year in fiscal year 2018 of $26.4 included uncertain tax positions related to the restructuring of foreign subsidiaries and reserves for ongoing transfer pricing uncertainties.
facilities, were $456 million and $435 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
O&R and Pike own their gas distribution systems and O&R owns a gas transmission system, which together include 1,862 miles of mains.
Natural gas is delivered to customers by the company through an estimated 104,713 service lines.
Gas Sales and Deliveries O&R generally recovers the cost of the gas that it buys and then sells to its firm sales customers.
It does not make any margin or profit on the gas it sells.
O&R’s gas revenues are subject to a weather normalization clause.
Effective November 2009, O&R’s New York gas revenues (which accounted for substantially all of O&R’s gas revenues in 2013) became subject to a revenue decoupling mechanism.
As a result, its gas delivery revenues are generally not affected by changes in delivery volumes from levels assumed when rates were approved.
O&R’s gas deliveries and sales for the last five years were:

For additional segment information, see Note N to the financial statements in Item 8.
Gas Peak Demand The gas peak demand for firm service customers in O&R’s service area occurs during the winter heating season.
The daily peak day demand during the winter 2013/2014 (through January 31, 2014) occurred on January 7, 2014 when the demand reached 202 mdths.
The 2013/2014 peak demand included an estimated 92 mdths for O&R’s full-service customers and 110 mdths for customers participating in its gas retail access program.
“Design weather” for the gas system is a standard to which the actual peak demand is adjusted for evaluation and planning purposes.
The company estimates that, under design weather conditions, the 2014/2015 service area peak demand will be 218 mdths, including an estimated 100 mdths for its full-service customers and 118 mdths for its retail access customers.
The company forecasts average annual growth of the peak gas demand over the next five years at design conditions to be approximately 0.7 percent in the
