The realization of deferred tax assets is largely dependent upon future taxable income, future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences and the ability to carryback losses to available tax years. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, we consider positive and negative evidence, including taxable income in carry-back years, scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, expected future taxable income and tax planning strategies. Management believes it is more likely than not that all of the deferred tax assets  at June 30, 2022 will be realized against deferred tax liabilities and projected future taxable income.



The net deferred tax asset recorded included the following amounts of deferred tax assets and liabilities (dollars in thousands):
