The Company’s Provision for Income Taxes was $7,563 and $7,735 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The effective tax rate was 36% and 45% for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The effective tax rate for 2014 and 2013 reflects the effect of certain nondeductible expenses, including the vesting of LP Units in 2013, as well as the noncontrolling interest associated with LP Units and other adjustments.
The Company reported a decrease in deferred tax assets of $535 associated with changes in Unrealized Gain (Loss) on Marketable Securities and a decrease of $136 associated with changes in Foreign Currency Translation Adjustment Gain (Loss), in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The Company reported a decrease in deferred tax assets of $278 associated with changes in Unrealized Gain (Loss) on Marketable Securities and an increase of $292 associated with changes in Foreign Currency Translation Adjustment Gain (Loss), in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2013.
As of March 31, 2014, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits of $623, $474 of which, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate. The Company does not anticipate a significant change in unrecognized tax positions as a result of the settlement of income tax audits for examining the Company's income tax returns during the upcoming year.
The Company classifies interest relating to tax matters and tax penalties as a component of income tax expense in its Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Related to the unrecognized tax benefits, the Company recognized $17 of interest and penalties during the three months ended March 31, 2014. The Company has $232 accrued for the payment of interest and penalties as of March 31, 2014.
