At December 31, 201 4, the Company has recognized $386 of benefits related to its Mexican subsidiary tax credit carry-forwards. The carry-forward credits expire in 2017. A valuation allowance has been established for the carry-forward losses to reduce the future income tax benefits to amounts expected to be realized. The Company has also recognized $1,144 of benefits related to state tax credit carry-forwards. The state credit carry-forward expires in 2021. The Company expects that these state credit carry-forwards will be utilized before their expiration. At December 31, 201 4, the tax benefits of the Company’s Canadian subsidiary tax loss carry-forwards expiring by year are as follows: $289 in 202 7, $5,7 67 in 202 8, $4,104 in 202 9 and $720 in 20 31.

The Company has not provided for U.S. federal or foreign withholding taxes on $5,393 and $10,988 of foreign subsidiaries’ undistributed earnings as of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, 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 $15,986 and $11,674 of cash and short term investments as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. At December 31, 201 4 and 201 3, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits of $6,993 and $6,010, respectively. Included in this balance is $4,805 and $3,539, respectively, of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably affect the annual effective income tax rate. As of December 31, 201 4 and 201 3, $1,591 and $1,157, respectively, of interest and penalties were included in the liability for uncertain tax positions. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:
|  | 2014 |  | 2013 |  | 2012 |
Unrecognized tax benefits at January 1 |  | $ | 6,010 |  | $ | 6,677 |  | $ | 6,804 |

Unrecognized tax benefits at December 31 |  | $ | 6,993 |  | $ | 6,010 |  | $ | 6,677 |
The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Retained Earnings. 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 201 1 through 201 3. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to examinations by tax authorities for the years 20 10 and prior. The Company is currently subject to a federal income tax examination of tax years 2011 and 2012. The Company’s Canadian subsidiary is currently subject to examination by the Canada Revenue Agency for tax years 2005 and 2007. The Company’s Spanish subsidiaries are currently subject to a court hearing relating to a tax examination by the Spanish tax authorities. 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 and court hearing, the Company believes that its liability for uncertain tax positions relating to these jurisdictions for such years is adequate.
