The Company has generated various state net operating loss carryforwards of which $18.7 million remains at December 31, 2012 that begin to expire in 2014. The Company has net operating losses in foreign jurisdictions of $2.1 million at December 31, 2012 that begin to expire in 2016. As of December 31, 2011, management had determined that it was “more likely than not” that certain deferred tax assets would be realized and the corresponding valuation allowance had been released based on the Company’s ability to utilize deferred tax assets currently and the expected future use of temporary differences in the carryback periods. In 2012, the Company recorded an income tax benefit for a non-cash adjustment to a deferred tax liability of $2.3 million related to the prior year. Additionally, the Company recorded a reduction in its valuation allowance of $1.9 million of which $1.1 million related to a portion of the translation adjustment deferred tax asset in connection with the equity method investee, Vasconia. The valuation allowance which remains as of December 31, 2012 relates to certain state net operating losses. The provision for income taxes (before equity in earnings) differs from the amounts computed by applying the applicable federal statutory rates as follows:
|  | Year Ended December 31, |
|  | 2012 |  |  | 2011 |  |  | 2010 |
Provision for federal income taxes at the statutory rate |  |  | 35.0 | % |  |  | 35.0 | % |  |  | 35.0 | %
Increases (decreases): |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
State and local income taxes, net of Federal income tax benefit |  |  | 3.2 |  |  |  | 6.4 |  |  |  | 5.6 |

Reduction of deferred tax liabilities related to the prior year |  |  | (11.6 | ) |  |  | — |  |  |  | — |

The estimated values of the Company’s gross uncertain tax positions at December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 are liabilities of $301,000, $134,000 and $356,000, respectively, and consist of the following:
|  | Year Ended December 31, |
|  | 2012 |  |  | 2011 |  |  | 2010 |
|  | (in thousands) |
Balance at January 1 |  | $ | (134 | ) |  | $ | (356 | ) |  | $ | (335 | )

Additions for tax positions of prior years |  |  | (167 | ) |  |  | (76 | ) |  |  | (200 | )
Reductions for tax position of prior years |  |  | — |  |  |  | — |  |  |  | — |

The Company had approximately $39,000 and $34,000, net of federal tax benefit, accrued at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, for the payment of interest. The Company’s policy for recording interest and penalties is to record such items as a component of income taxes. If the Company’s tax positions are ultimately sustained, the Company’s liability, including interest, would be reduced by $301,000, all of which would impact the Company’s tax provision. On a quarterly basis, the Company evaluates its tax positions and revises its estimates accordingly. The Company believes that it is reasonably possible that $301,000 of its tax positions will be resolved within the next twelve months. The Company has identified the following jurisdictions as “major” tax jurisdictions: U.S. Federal, California, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey and the United Kingdom. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. Federal income tax examinations for the years prior to 2009. At December 31, 2012, the periods subject to examination for the Company’s major state jurisdictions are the years ended 2008 through 2011.
