In 2012, the Company recorded a worthless stock deduction for its investment in the Company’s wholly-owned Irish subsidiary. The deduction resulted in approximately $9.9 million tax benefit on the Company’s U.S. tax returns. The tax effects of the significant temporary differences that constitute the deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31, 2014 and 2013, were as follows: (in thousands)

| $ | (9,452 | ) |  | $ | (7,592 | )
The total deferred tax assets for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, were $22.0 million and $22.0 million, respectively. The total deferred tax liabilities for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, were $16.8 million and $14.1 million, respectively. At December 31, 2014, the Company had $28.0 million of pre-tax loss carryforwards in various non-United States taxing jurisdictions, which excludes approximately $11.8 million that was generated by the Company’s now inactive wholly owned Irish subsidiary. Tax loss carryforwards of $0.4 million, $0.8 million, $1.7 million, $1.6 million and $2.4 million will expire in 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019, respectively, if not used. The remaining tax losses can be carried forward indefinitely. At December 31, 2014, and 2013, the Company had deferred tax valuation allowances of $6.8 million and $5.5 million, respectively. The valuation allowance increased $1.3 million and decreased $4.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The decrease in valuation allowance from December 31, 2012, is mainly attributable to the removal of the deferred tax asset generated by the Company’s wholly owned Irish subsidiary. The Company does not provide for federal income taxes on the undistributed earnings of its international subsidiaries because such earnings are reinvested and, in the Company’s opinion, will continue to be reinvested indefinitely. At December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, the Company had not provided for federal income taxes on undistributed earnings of $45.6 million, $34.8 million and $29.0 million, respectively, from its international subsidiaries. Should these earnings be distributed in the form of dividends or otherwise, the Company would be subject to both United States income taxes and withholding taxes in various international jurisdictions. These taxes may be partially offset by United States foreign tax credits. Determination of the related amount of unrecognized deferred United States income taxes is not practicable because of the complexities associated with this hypothetical calculation. United States federal income taxes are provided on the earnings of the Company’s foreign branches, which are included in the United States federal income tax return. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amounts of unrecognized tax benefits in 2014, 2013 and 2012 was as follows, including foreign translation amounts: (in thousands)
| 2014 |  | 2013 |  | 2012
Balance at January 1 | $ | 3,456 |  |  | $ | 3,843 |  |  | $ | 4,683 |
Additions based on tax positions related to prior years | 7 |  |  | 297 |  |  | 527 |
Reductions based on tax positions related to prior years | (1,146 | ) |  | (494 | ) |  | (1,163 | )
Additions for tax positions of the current year | 165 |  |  | 837 |  |  | 933 |
Settlements | (680 | ) |  | (435 | ) |  | (486 | )
Lapse of statute of limitations | (495 | ) |  | (592 | ) |  | (651 | )
Balance at December 31 | $ | 1,307 |  |  | $ | 3,456 |  |  | $ | 3,843 |
Included in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, are tax positions of $0.0 million, $0.7 million and $0.9 million, respectively, which, if recognized, would reduce the effective tax rate. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense, which is a continuation of the Company’s historical accounting policy. During the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, accrued interest decreased by $0.2 million, $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively, as a result of the reversal of accrued interest associated with the lapses of statutes of limitations. At December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, the Company had accrued $0.2 million, $0.4 million and $0.7 million, respectively, for the potential payment of interest, before income tax benefits. At December 31, 2014, the Company remained subject to United States federal income tax examinations for the tax years 2011 through 2014. In addition, the Company remained subject to state, local and foreign income tax examinations primarily for the tax years 2009 through 2014.
