The tax rates under the Amendment are: 2011 and 2012 - 15% (in development area A - 10%) and in 2013 - 12.5% (in development area A - 7%). The Company elected to transition to the preferred enterprise track starting from the 2012 tax year and submitted its final decision to the tax authorities.

Accelerated depreciation: By virtue of the Law, the Company is eligible for deduction of accelerated depreciation on equipment used by the approved enterprise from the first year of the asset's operation. Conditions for the entitlement to the benefits: The above benefits are conditional upon the fulfillment of the conditions stipulated by the Law, regulations published thereunder and the letters of approval for the investments in the approved enterprises, as above. Non-compliance with the conditions may cancel all or part of the benefits and refund of the amount of the benefits, including interest. The managements believe that the Company is meeting the aforementioned conditions.

|  | December 31, |
|  | 2022 |  |  | 2021 |
Deferred tax assets: |  |  |  |  |  |
Net operating loss carryforwards (in Israel) |  |  | 2,284 |  |  |  | 3,265 |
Capital loss carryforwards (in Israel) |  |  | 2,258 |  |  |  | 2,549 |
Reserves and other |  |  | 274 |  |  |  | 252 |
Total gross deferred taxes |  |  | 4,816 |  |  |  | 6,066 |
Less valuation allowance |  |  | (2,258 | ) |  |  | (2,549 | )
Deferred tax assets, net |  |  | 2,558 |  |  |  | 3,517 |
Deferred tax liabilities: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Undistributed income of subsidiaries |  |  | (326 | ) |  |  | (290 | )
Property and equipment |  |  | (635 | ) |  |  | (677 | )
Total deferred tax liabilities |  |  | (961 | ) |  |  | (967 | )
Net deferred tax assets (liabilities) |  |  | 1,597 |  |  |  | 2,550 |
The Company has net operating loss carryforwards for tax purposes of approximately $14.5 million, which may be carried forward indefinitely. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company established a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as it was unable to conclude that it is more-likely-than-not that such deferred tax assets will be realized. As of December 31, 2021, the Company concluded that realization of net deferred assets is more likely than not as required by ASC 740. The Company considered both positive and negative factors. Positive factors include the Company's profit before tax for 2021 and cumulative positive taxable income in recent years, the fact that losses are indefinite in expiration and to a lesser extent, projections for taxable income in the near term. Negative factors considered include the Company's operating losses in earlier years. Weighing all the above, the Company concluded that it is more likely than not that taxable income will be generated and released entirely the valuation allowance related to the accumulated losses and long-term tax receivables.
| h. | Accounting for uncertainty in income taxes:
For the twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, the Company did not have any unrecognized tax positions and thus, no interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax positions were recorded. In addition, the Company does not expect that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will change significantly within the next twelve-month months.
