​ In assessing the ability to realize deferred tax assets, the Company considers the scheduled reversal of temporary differences, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in accordance with ASC 740-10-30, Income Taxes – Initial Measurement. As of each reporting date, the Company considers existing evidence, both positive and negative, that could impact the Company’s view with regard to future realization of deferred tax assets. The Bank is subject to a bank franchise tax but not a state income tax in Virginia, its primary place of business. The Company, its subsidiaries, and the Bank’s non-bank subsidiaries are subject to Virginia income taxes and may be able to utilize existing state deferred tax assets, depending on a number of factors including those entities’ financial results. During 2024, the Company reviewed its business plan considering the American National acquisition and other business changes and noted shifts within the state income tax footprint and other factors that impacted projected future realization of state deferred tax items, including those attributable to operations in Virginia. As a result, the Company concluded it is more likely than not that the benefit for certain state net operating loss carryforwards will not be realized, and the Company recorded a valuation allowance via a non-cash charge to income tax expense. The valuation allowance totaled $4.4 million and $0 at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. ​ The NOL carryforwards at December 31, were as follows (dollars in thousands):
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | Expiration
​ |  | 2024 |  | Year
NOL carryforwards – federal (1) (2) | ​ | $ | 45,601 | ​ |  | 2031-2037
NOL carryforwards – federal (1) | ​ | ​ | 17,582 | ​ | ​ | N/A
NOL carryforwards – North Carolina (3) | ​ | ​ | 70,216 | ​ | ​ | 2028-2030
NOL carryforwards – Virginia (4) | ​ | ​ | 44,745 | ​ | ​ | N/A
N/A – not applicable as the NOL can be carried forward indefinitely (1) The Company acquired a portion of these carryforwards and will be subject to limitations that could limit the Company’s utilization in future periods. (2) Balance includes recognized built in loss carryforwards that are subject to the same limitations as net operating loss carryforwards. (3) Balance is pre-tax and includes the expected effect of the North Carolina rate reprice. (4) Balance is pre-tax, pre-apportionment, and net of the valuation allowance. ​ The Company analyzed the tax positions taken or expected to be taken in its tax returns for the periods ending December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, and had no liability related to uncertain tax positions in accordance with applicable ASC 740, Income Taxes. The components of income tax expense (benefit) for the years ended December 31, were as follows (dollars in thousands):
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ |  | 2024 |  | 2023 |  | 2022
