At December 31, 2013, the Company had foreign and state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $261,091, which will expire in varying amounts between 2014 and 2032 and are subject to certain limitations on an annual basis. Management believes the Company will realize the benefit of the net operating loss carryforwards before they expire, but to the extent that the full benefit may not be realized, a net operating loss valuation allowance has been recorded. The valuation allowance decreased by $603 in 2013 due to the utilization of state net operating loss carryforwards.
Undistributed income of the Company's foreign corporate joint venture and foreign subsidiaries at December 31, 2013 amounted to $14,889, for which no U.S. deferred income tax provision has been recorded because the Company intends to permanently reinvest such income in those foreign operations. If such income was not permanently reinvested, income tax expense of approximately $5,509 would be recorded, not including potential utilization of foreign tax credits.
The gross unrecognized tax benefits at December 31 are as follows:

Management anticipates that all of the gross unrecognized tax benefits will be recognized within the next twelve months and the effective tax rate impact is expected to be immaterial.
The Company recognizes penalties and interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. As of December 31, 2013, the Company had no material accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions.
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various states and foreign jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to examinations by tax authorities before the year 2007.
