Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes

During 2013 the Company recognized a decrease for unrecognized tax benefits. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:


Balance at January 1, 2013	$	52
Additions for tax positions taken in the current period		2
Reductions for tax positions taken in the current period		—
Additions for tax positions taken in prior years		3
Reductions for tax positions taken in prior years		(27	)
Decreases related to settlements with taxing authorities		(18	)
Decreases as a result of a lapse in statue of limitations		—

Balance at December 31, 2013	$	12

The Company does not anticipate any significant increase or decrease in unrecognized tax benefits during 2014. If recognized, the entire amount of the unrecognized tax benefits would affect the effective tax rate.

The Company classifies interest and penalties as a component of the provision for income taxes. At December 31, 2013, unrecognized interest and penalties were $1. The tax years ended December 31, 2012, 2011, 2010, and 2009 remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. The tax years ended December 31, 2012, 2011, 2010, and 2009 remain subject to examination by the California Franchise Tax Board. The deductibility of these tax positions will be determined through examination by the appropriate tax jurisdictions or the expiration of the tax statute of limitations.
