Deferred taxes are recorded at a rate at which such items are expected to reverse, based on currently enacted tax rates for temporary differences between the financial reporting and income tax basis of assets and liabilities and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. At December 31, 2015, the Company had $3.6 million of foreign net operating loss carryfowards of which $.5 million will expire between the years 2017 and 2025. The Company assesses the available positive and negative evidence to determine if it is more likely than not sufficient future taxable income will be generated to utilize the existing deferred tax assets by jurisdiction. Based on this evaluation, the Company has established a valuation allowance of $5.2 million at December 31, 2015 in order to measure only the portion of the deferred tax asset that is more likely than not to be realized. The net increase in valuation allowance during the year was $1.6 million, of which $1.8 million impacts the income tax provision and ($.2) million is reflected through Other Comprehensive Income. The Company has not established a deferred tax liability associated with approximately $130.6 million of its undistributed foreign earnings at December 31, 2015 as these earnings are considered to be permanently reinvested outside the U.S. These earnings would be taxable upon the sale or liquidation of these foreign subsidiaries, or upon the remittance of such earnings. While the measurement of the unrecognized U.S. income taxes with respect to these earnings is not practicable, foreign tax credits would be available to offset some or all of such earnings that would be remitted as dividends. Income taxes paid net of refunds were approximately $12.3 million in 2015, $7.7 million in 2014 and $19.9 million in 2013. The Company is subject to taxation in the U.S. and various state and foreign jurisdictions. As of December 31, 2015, with few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal examinations by tax authorities for years before 2012 and state, local or foreign examinations by tax authorities for years before 2009. The following is a tabular reconciliation of the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, for the year ended December 31:
|  | 2015 |  |  | 2014 |  |  | 2013 |
Balance at January 1 |  | $ | 794 |  |  | $ | 608 |  |  | $ | 1,361 |
Additions for tax positions of prior years |  |  | 0 |  |  |  | 186 |  |  |  | 0 |
Reductions for tax positions of prior years |  |  | (616 | ) |  |  | 0 |  |  |  | (588 | )
Expiration of statutes of limitations |  |  | 0 |  |  |  | 0 |  |  |  | (165 | )
Balance at December 31 |  | $ | 178 |  |  | $ | 794 |  |  | $ | 608 |
The Company records accrued interest as well as penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as part of the provision for income taxes. The Company recognized less than $.1 million, net of the amount lapsed through expiring statutes, during each of the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company reduced previously unrecognized tax benefits by $.6 million, primarily due to final resolution of an audit in the Asia Pacific region, the resolution of which resulted in a $.2 million reduction of unrecognized tax benefits from the amount that was previously accrued. The Company also recognized a related tax benefit during the year for the reduction of accrued interest and penalties of $.5 million and $.1 million, respectively. The Company had approximately less than $.1 million, $.6 million, and $.6 million accrued for the payment of interest for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Company had approximately $0, $.3 million, and $.3 million accrued for the payment of penalties for the year ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. If recognized, approximately $.2 million, $.2 million, and $0 of unrecognized tax benefits would affect the tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Company anticipates a decrease in its unrecognized tax benefits by approximately $.2 million within the next twelve months due to effective settlement.
