The Company has not provided for U.S. federal or foreign withholding taxes on $10,988 and $8,868 of foreign subsidiaries’ undistributed earnings as of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, because such earnings are considered to be permanently reinvested. The Company estimates that the federal income tax liability on such remittances would approximate 30%. This foreign subsidiary holds $11,674 and $9,857 of cash and short term investments as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings, Comprehensive Earnings and Retained Earnings. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits of $6,010 and $6,677, respectively. Included in this balance is $3,539 and $4,306, respectively, of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably affect the annual effective income tax rate. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, $1,157 and $1,189, respectively, of interest and penalties were included in the liability for uncertain tax positions.

The Company is subject to taxation in the U.S. and various state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company remains subject to examination by U.S. federal and state and foreign tax authorities for the years 2010 through 2012. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to examinations by tax authorities for the years 2009 and prior. The Company had been subject to a federal examination of tax years 2009 and 2010. The examination was closed during the fourth quarter of 2013 with the Company agreeing to an assessment which it considered immaterial. The Company’s Canadian subsidiary is currently subject to examination by the Canada Revenue Agency for tax years 2005 and 2007. The Company is unable to determine the outcome of the examination at this time. In addition, the Company is currently subject to various state tax examinations. Although the Company is unable to determine the ultimate outcome of the ongoing examinations, the Company believes that its liability for uncertain tax positions relating to these jurisdictions for such years is adequate.
