Net operating loss carryforwards for New York and New York City purposes of $8.5 million and 344,000 were generated in 2023. These net operating losses were fully utilized in 2024. The above analysis does not include recorded deferred tax assets (liabilities) of $33.9 million and $32.7 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, related to net unrealized holdings losses/(gains) in the available-for-sale debt securities portfolio. In addition, the analysis excludes recorded deferred tax assets of $5.6 million and $8.4 million, as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, related to employee benefit plans. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income or the existence of sufficient taxable income. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, management considers the scheduled reversal of the deferred tax liabilities, the level of historical taxable income, and the projected future taxable income over the periods in which the temporary differences comprising the deferred tax assets will be deductible. Based on its assessment, management determined that no valuation allowance was necessary at December 31, 2024 and 2023. At December 31, 2024, December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had an insignificant amount of ASC 740-10 unrecognized tax benefits. The Company does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly increase within the next twelve months. The Company recognizes interest and penalties on unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense in its Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax and income tax in New York and various state jurisdictions. All tax years ending after December 31, 2020 are open to examination by the taxing authorities.
