11. INCOME TAXES

The provision for income taxes was $1.3 million and $1.2 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate was 31.4% and 28.9% for the same periods. The effective tax rate is impacted by recurring permanent differences such as bank-owned life insurance and tax-exempt investment and loan income.

The Company had a net deferred tax asset of $8.9 million and $10.8 million as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The reduction in the net deferred tax asset resulted primarily from changes in the fair value of securities available-for-sale, a decrease in the allowance for loan losses and sales of OREO previously written down.
