We have not provided for deferred U.S. income taxes or foreign withholding taxes on $51.2 million of foreign subsidiary undistributed earnings as of December 31, 2013.  The unrecorded U.S. tax liability associated with these undistributed earnings is approximately $16.5 million at December 31, 2013.  Such earnings are intended to be reinvested indefinitely and, therefore, no U.S. tax liability is required.

The following is a summary of the significant components of our deferred tax assets and liabilities:

As of December 31, 2013, we had net operating loss carryforwards of $515.7 million (consisting of $6.9 million of federal, $442.7 million of state and $66.1 million of foreign carryforwards) which expire through 2033, foreign and general business tax credit carryforwards of $4.3 million, which expire through 2033, and state tax credit carryforwards of $7.8 million, which expire through 2021.

Uncertain tax positions

Our total unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 were $0.8 million and $0.3 million, respectively (net of federal tax benefit), which included $0.2 million and $0.0 million of interest and penalties, respectively (net of federal tax benefit).

If recognized as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, $0.8 million and $0.3 million, respectively (net of federal tax benefit) of our unrecognized tax benefit would reduce income tax expense and the effective tax rate.

We file a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return as well as separate, unitary and combined income tax returns in multiple state jurisdictions.  In addition, we file income tax returns in various foreign jurisdictions.

The Internal Revenue Service has completed examination of our federal returns for taxable years prior to 2011.  Our state income tax examinations, with limited exceptions, have been completed for the periods prior to 2009.  We reasonably expect to settle all ongoing audits by December 31, 2014.
