The Company has recorded deferred tax assets on $34.0 million of various state operating loss carryforwards and $27.0 million of various foreign operating loss carryforwards. The majority of the state tax loss carryforwards expire between 2026 and 2032 and the majority of the foreign losses have indefinite carryforward periods. The Company has not made a provision for U.S. or additional foreign withholding taxes related to investments in foreign subsidiaries that are indefinitely reinvested since any excess of the amount for financial reporting over the tax basis in these investments is not significant as of December 31, 2019. Tax Reform In December 2017, the Tax Reform Act was signed into law, and, among the provisions, reduced the Federal statutory corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018, and implemented a territorial tax system, imposing a one-time tax on the deemed repatriation of undistributed earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries ("Transition Tax"). The Transition Tax is payable over eight years beginning in 2019. The Company recorded provisional expenses in 2017 related to the Transition Tax and finalized the measurement of the provisional expenses in 2018. In 2018, the Company recognized an approximate $1.1 million income tax benefit in connection with finalizing the revaluation of its net deferred tax assets following the filing of the Company's 2017 corporate income tax return, and recognized an approximate $0.7 million income tax expense related to finalizing the Transition Tax, resulting in a $0.4 million net reduction in 2018 to the $12.7 million provisional tax expense recorded in 2017. As of December 31, 2019, the U.S Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) is still in the process of issuing guidance to taxpayers to address changes enacted in the Tax Reform Act. The Company has prepared the income tax provision for years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 based on available guidance. However, if final guidance is issued that modifies the existing temporary guidance issued by the IRS or if the final guidance contradicts positions taken by the Company in the absence of any IRS guidance, this could have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. Unrecognized Tax Benefits The Company had approximately $2.3 million and $3.0 million of unrecognized tax benefits ("UTBs") as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. If the UTBs were recognized, the impact to the Company's effective tax rate would be to reduce reported income tax expense for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 by approximately $1.9 million and $2.5 million, respectively. A reconciliation of the change in the UTBs for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 is as follows (dollars in thousands):
|  | Unrecognized Tax Benefits
Balance at December 31, 2017 |  | $ | 3,370 |
Tax positions related to current year: |  |
Additions |  | 60 |
Tax positions related to prior years: |  |
Additions |  | 390 |
Reductions |  | — |
Settlements |  | — |
Lapses in the statutes of limitations |  | (800 | )
Balance at December 31, 2018 |  | $ | 3,020 |
Tax positions related to current year: |  |
Additions |  | 110 |
Tax positions related to prior years: |  |  |
Additions |  | — |
Reductions |  | — |
Settlements |  | — |
Lapses in the statutes of limitations |  | (880 | )
Balance at December 31, 2019 |  | $ | 2,250 |
In addition to the UTBs summarized above, the Company has recorded approximately $1.4 million and $1.8 million in potential interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The Company is subject to U.S. federal, state and local, and certain non-U.S. income tax examinations for tax years 2013 through 2019. In addition, there are currently several state and foreign income tax examinations in process. The Company does not believe that the results of these examinations will have a significant impact on the Company's tax position or its effective tax rate. Management monitors changes in tax statutes and regulations and the issuance of judicial decisions to determine the potential impact to UTBs and is not aware of, nor does it anticipate, any subsequent events that could have a significant impact on the Company's financial position during the next twelve months.
