ITEM 4.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
An evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of June 30, 2026 was carried out under the
supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and other members of the Company’s senior management. Based on the evaluation, management identified material weaknesses related to
the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and, as a result, concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of June 30, 2026. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of
deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Management identified the following material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting:
38
Table of Contents
The Company did not maintain effective components of the COSO framework in the areas of control activities, information and communication process and monitoring activities that contributed
to the following material weaknesses:
•
The Company did not have controls in place to identify unusual or infrequent equity-related contracts entered into which could have a material impact on accounting and financial reporting.
•
The Company did not maintain controls to consider subsequent appraisals for collateral dependent loans.
Remediation Plans
In response to the identified material weaknesses, the Company’s management, with the oversight of the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors, has dedicated significant resources,
including additional employee training, toward efforts to improve our internal control over financial reporting. Management is actively engaged in the implementation of remediation efforts to address the material weaknesses.
•
Thorough discussion and review of all new unusual or infrequent equity-related contracts each quarter with documentation of accounting treatment and disclosure with respect to such transactions that
could have a potential impact on the Company’s financial statements, and
•
An enhancement of the controls over the allowance for credit losses at each quarter end to evaluate that all appraisals for collateral dependent loans that are received prior to the date that the
financial statements are issued have been evaluated by management and considered in the estimate of the allowance for credit losses.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the three months ended June 30, 2026 that
have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives as specified above. Management does not expect, however, that our disclosure
controls and procedures will prevent or detect all error and fraud. Any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, is based upon certain assumptions, and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that its
objectives will be met. Further, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been
detected.
