Item 4. Controls and Procedures
| ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
|---|
The Company maintains a system of disclosure controls and procedures that is designed to provide reasonable assurance that information, which is required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and is accumulated and communicated to management in a timely manner.
In connection with the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, the Company evaluated the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures and identified material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Amaterial weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2025. The Company did not design and maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures because of the following material weakness in internal control over financial reporting:
| ● | Management has not fully implemented a comprehensive control framework to ensure key CECL model inputs, assumptions, and results are appropriately validated, documented, and assessed for reasonableness through the financial statement issuance date. Additionally, third-party data was relied upon without appropriately verifying the information. |
The material weakness did not result in a material misstatement to the Company’s consolidated financial statements, however, the control deficiency described above created a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement to the consolidated financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Notwithstanding such material weaknesses, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in the Quarterly Report are fairly stated in all material respects in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for each of the periods presented.
Remediation Plan and Status
Since identifying the material weakness described above, management, with oversight from the Audit Committee, has:
| ● | Hired an experienced Chief Credit Officer, effective March 31, 2025. |
| ● | Implemented numerous controls to remediate the material weakness surrounding the CECL control gap. Management feels these additional controls will alleviate the material weakness, if operating effectively moving forward. |
Remediation of Previously Reported Material Weakness
As previously reported in Part II, Item 9A. “Controls and Procedures” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, in connection with our assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over

financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, we identified control deficiencies with respect tocontrols over the segregation of duties to prevent unauthorized or erroneous journal entries. The Company had not implemented system restrictions or compensating controls to require secondary review and approval of journal entries before they are posted.
This material weakness did not result in a misstatement of the Company’s financial statements; however, it could have resulted in misstatements of interim or annual consolidated financial statements and disclosures that would result in a material misstatement that would not be prevented or detected.
In response to the material weakness with respect to controls over the segregation of duties to prevent unauthorized or erroneous journal entries, management has taken the required steps to implement system-based controls that require a second person review and approve journal entries before allowing journal entries to be posted.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management of the Company has evaluated, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the third quarter of 2025.
Other than the implementation of CECL controls and the completed remediation efforts described above, there have been no changes to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred since the beginning of the Company’s third quarter of 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
