The determination of the amount of deferred income tax assets which are more likely than not to be realized is primarily dependent on projections of future earnings, which are subject to uncertainty and estimates that may change given economic conditions and other factors. The realization of deferred income tax assets is assessed and a valuation allowance is recorded if it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. More likely than not is defined as greater than a 50% chance. All available evidence, both positive and negative is considered to determine whether, based on the weight of the evidence, a valuation allowance is needed. Thus, management concludes no valuation allowance is necessary against deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2023 and 2022. The provision for income taxes differs from amounts computed by applying the statutory Federal income tax rates to operating income before income taxes. The significant items comprising these differences for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021 consisted of the following:
| 2023 |  | 2022 |  | 2021
Federal income tax, at statutory rate | 21.0 | % |  | 21.0 | % |  | 21.0 | %
State taxes, net of Federal tax benefit | 8.0 | % |  | 8.1 | % |  | 8.2 | %
Tax exempt investment security income, net | (3.5) | % |  | (3.7) | % |  | (3.1) | %
Bank owned life insurance, net | (0.6) | % |  | (0.8) | % |  | (0.5) | %
Compensation - stock compensation | — | % |  | (0.2) | % |  | (0.2) | %
Low income housing tax credits | (0.6) | % |  | (0.3) | % |  | (0.3) | %
Other | 0.2 | % |  | 0.1 | % |  | 0.2 | %
Effective tax rate | 24.5 | % |  | 24.2 | % |  | 25.3 | %
As of December 31, 2023, the Company had Federal and California net operating loss (“NOL”) carry-forwards of $5,659,000 and $6,599,000, respectively. These NOLs were acquired through business combinations and are subject to IRC 382 will begin expiring at various dates between 2030 and 2035, for federal purposes and various dates between 2030 and 2036 for California purposes. While they are subject to IRC Section 382, management has determined that all of the NOLs are more than likely than not to be utilized before they expire. The Company and its subsidiary file income tax returns in the U.S. federal and California jurisdictions. The Company conducts all of its business activities in the State of California. There are no pending U.S. federal or state income tax examinations by those taxing authorities.

As of December 31, 2023, the Company has no unrecognized tax benefits and does not expect any material changes in the next 12 months.
