Current report
We have identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, which could, if not remediated, result in material misstatements of our financial statements and adversely affect our stock price.
Current report
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting. As disclosed in Item 9A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective and we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting due to the material weaknesses identified in Item 9A of this Annual Report. The material weaknesses (more fully described in Item 9A of this Annual Report) relate to the failure to maintain effectively designed internal control over financial reporting in the following areas:
Current report
While we have not identified any material misstatements in our financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2025 as a result of these material weaknesses, these weaknesses create a reasonable possibility that a future material misstatement would not be prevented or detected.
Current report
We are taking specific steps to remediate these material weaknesses, including enhancements to policies, procedures, oversight activities, and information technology controls supporting financial reporting
Current report
There can be no assurance as to when the remediation will be completed or that it will be determined to be effective. If we are unsuccessful in remediating these material weaknesses, or if we identify additional material weaknesses, we may be unable to report our financial results accurately and timely, which could result in a negative impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flow, restrict our ability to access the capital markets, require significant resources to correct, result in a loss of investor confidence and/or a decline in our stock price, and subject us to fines, potential litigation or regulatory action.
Current report
While inflationary pressures have moderated from recent peaks, they remained “sticky” and slightly above the Federal Reserve’s target throughout 2025. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the 12-month percent change in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (not seasonally adjusted) was 2.7% for the period ended December 31, 2025, compared to 2.9% and 3.4% for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Although inflation has eased, persistent costs in key categories such as shelter and services continued to impact the economic environment in 2025. Current economic forecasts suggest a gradual descent toward the Federal Reserve’s target in 2026, though uncertainty remains regarding the pace of future easing and its potential impact on our funding costs and borrower health.

Previous report
Inflation reached a near 40-year high in late 2021 and persisted at elevated levels during 2022 and 2023. While inflationary pressures have begun to moderate, their effects continued into 2024. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the 12-month percent change in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (not seasonally adjusted) for all items was 2.9% for December 2023 to December 2024, 3.4% for December 2022 to December 2023, 6.5% for December 2021 to December 2022, 7.0% for December 2020 to December 2021, 1.4% for December 2019 to December 2020, and 2.3% for December 2018 to December 2019. Inflationary pressures have begun to moderate during 2024, and current economic forecasts suggest a further easing in 2025.

The energy industry is a significant sector in our Oklahoma market, and to a lesser extent, Kansas and the Dallas/Fort Worth metropolitan area. A downturn or lack of growth in the energy industry and energy-related business, including sustained low oil or gas prices or the failure of oil or gas prices to rise in the future, could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. As of December 31, 2024, our energy loans, which include loans to exploration and production companies, midstream companies, purchasers of mineral and royalty interests and service providers totaled $133.3 million, or 9.5% of total loans, as compared to $190.6 million, or 14.0% of total loans as of December 31, 2023. In addition to our direct exposure to energy loans, we also have indirect exposure to energy prices, as some of our non-energy customers’ businesses are directly affected by volatility with the oil and gas industry and energy prices and otherwise are dependent on energy-related businesses. As of December 31, 2024, we had $39 million in unfunded commitments to borrowers in the oil and gas industry.

The Company has loan exposure to the hospitality industry, primarily through loans made to construct or finance the operation of hotels. At December 31, 2024, this exposure was approximately $259.1 million, or 18.5%, of the total loan portfolio, along with an additional $2.9 million in unfunded debt, as compared to $298.5 million, or 21.9%, of the total loan portfolio, along with an additional $5.7 million in unfunded debt as of December 31, 2023. The hospitality industry is subject to changes in the travel patterns of business and leisure travelers, both of which are affected by the strength of the economy, as well as other factors. The performance of the hospitality industry has traditionally been closely linked with the performance of the general economy and, specifically, growth in gross domestic product. Changes in travel patterns of both business and leisure travelers, particularly during periods of economic contraction or low levels of economic growth, may create difficulties for the industry over the long-term. Although we have made a large portion of our hospitality loans to long-term, well-established hotel operators in strategic locations, a general downturn in the supply growth of such markets or hotel occupancy or room rates could negatively impact the borrowers’ ability to repay. A significant loss in this portfolio could materially and adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

Previous wording
As a part of their regulatory oversight, the federal regulators have issued guidance on Concentrations in Commercial Real Estate Lending, Sound Risk Management Practices, or the CRE Concentration Guidance, with respect to a financial institution’s concentrations in CRE lending activities. The CRE Concentration Guidance identifies certain concentration levels that, if exceeded, will expose the institution to additional supervisory analysis with regard to the institution’s CRE concentration risk. The CRE Concentration Guidance is designed to promote appropriate levels of capital and sound loan and risk management practices for institutions with a concentration of CRE loans. In general, the CRE Concentration Guidance establishes the following supervisory criteria as preliminary indications of possible CRE concentration risk: (1) the institution’s total construction, land development and other land loans represent 100% or more of total capital; or (2) total CRE loans as defined in this guidance, or Regulatory CRE, represent 300% or more of total capital, and the institution’s Regulatory CRE has increased by 50% or more during the prior 36-month period. Pursuant to the CRE Concentration Guidance, loans secured by owner occupied CRE are not included for purposes of the CRE concentration calculation. As of December 31, 2024, our Regulatory CRE represented 254.04% of our total Bank capital and our construction, land development and other land loans represented 74.82% of our total Bank capital, as compared to 290.69% and 73.97% as of December 31, 2023, respectively. During the prior 36-month period, our Regulatory CRE has decreased 48.43%. We are actively working to manage our Regulatory CRE concentration, and we believe that our underwriting policies, management information systems, independent credit administration process, and monitoring of real estate loan concentrations are currently sufficient to address the CRE Concentration Guidance. We utilize enhanced CRE monitoring techniques as expected by banking regulators as our concentrations have approached or exceeded the regulatory guidance. Nevertheless, the Federal Reserve could become concerned about our CRE loan concentrations, and it could limit our ability to grow by restricting its approvals for the establishment or acquisition of branches, or approvals of mergers or other acquisition opportunities, or by requiring us to raise additional capital, reduce our loan concentrations or undertake other remedial actions.

As of December 31, 2024, we had approximately $1.38 billion of commercial purpose loans, which include general commercial, energy, agricultural, and CRE loans, representing approximately 99.0% of our gross loan portfolio. Commercial purpose loans are often larger and involve greater risks than other types of lending. Because payments on these loans are often dependent on the successful operation or development of the property or business involved, their repayment is more sensitive than other types of loans to adverse conditions in the real estate market or the general economy.

Previous wording
As of December 31, 2024, our 20 largest borrowing relationships ranged from approximately $16.8 million to $45.1 million (including unfunded commitments) and totaled approximately $552.1 million in total commitments (representing, in the aggregate, 32.8% of our total outstanding commitments as of December 31, 2024). Each of the loans associated with these relationships has been underwritten in accordance with our underwriting policies and limits. Along with other risks inherent in these loans, such as the deterioration of the underlying businesses or property securing these loans, this concentration of borrowers presents a risk that, if one or more of these relationships were to become delinquent or suffer default, we could be exposed to material losses. The allowance for credit losses may not be adequate to cover losses associated with any of these relationships, and any loss or increase in the allowance would negatively affect our earnings and capital. Even if these loans are adequately collateralized, an increase in classified assets could harm our reputation with our regulators and inhibit our ability to execute our business plan.

At December 31, 2024, our 20 largest deposit relationships accounted for 29.3% of our total deposits. Withdrawals of deposits by any one of our largest depositors or by one of our related customer groups could force us to rely more heavily on borrowings and other sources of funding for our business and withdrawal demands, adversely affecting our net interest margin and results of operations. We may also be forced, as a result of withdrawals of deposits, to rely more heavily on other, potentially more expensive and less stable funding sources. Additionally, such circumstances could require us to raise deposit rates in an attempt to attract new deposits, which would adversely affect our results of operations. Under applicable regulations, if the Bank were no longer “well capitalized,” the Bank would not be able to accept brokered deposits without the approval of the FDIC.

As of December 31, 2024, approximately 40.3% of our gross loans were maturing within one year, compared to approximately 40.0% of our gross loans that were maturing within one year as of December 31, 2023. As a result, we will either need to renew or replace these loans during the course of the year. There is no guarantee that these loans will be originated or renewed by borrowers on the same terms or at all, as demand for such loans may decrease. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that borrowers will qualify for new loans or that existing loans will be renewed by us on the same terms or at all, as collateral values may be insufficient or the borrowers’ cash flow may be materially less than when the loan was initially originated. This could result in a significant decline in the size of our loan portfolio.
Current wording
As of December 31, 2025, approximately 37% of our gross loans were maturing within one year, compared to approximately 40.3% of our gross loans that were maturing within one year as of December 31, 2024. As a result, we will either need to renew or replace these loans during the course of the year.

Previous wording
Rising interest rates in prior periods have increased interest expense, which in turn has adversely affected net interest income, and may do so in the future if the Federal Reserve raises rates as anticipated. In a rising interest rate environment, competition for cost-effective deposits increases, making it more costly to fund loan growth. In addition, a rising rate environment could cause mortgage and mortgage warehouse lending volumes to substantially decline. Any rapid and unexpected volatility in interest rates creates uncertainty and potential for unexpected material adverse effects. The Company actively monitors and manages the balances of maturing and repricing assets and liabilities to reduce the adverse impact of changes in interest rates, but there can be no assurances that the Company can avoid all material adverse effects that such interest rate changes may have on the Company’s net interest margin and overall financial condition.
Current wording
Elevated interest rates in prior periods increased interest expense, which in turn adversely affected net interest income throughout 2025. While the Federal Reserve commenced a series of rate reductions in the latter half of 2025, the interest rate environment remains high relative to historical averages, which may continue to impact net interest income if funding costs remain elevated. In this environment, competition for cost-effective deposits remains intense, making it more costly to fund loan growth. In addition, the interest rate environment has contributed to a decline in overall mortgage-related lending volumes. Any rapid and unexpected volatility in interest rates, or uncertainty regarding the pace of future monetary easing, creates potential for unexpected material adverse effects. The Company actively monitors and manages the balances of maturing and repricing assets and liabilities to reduce the adverse impact of changes in interest rates, but there can be no assurances that the Company can avoid all material adverse effects that such interest rate changes may have on the Company’s net interest margin and overall financial condition.
Previous wording
As of December 31, 2024, approximately $1.28 billion, or 84.2%, of our deposits consisted of demand, savings, money market and negotiable order of withdrawal, or NOW, accounts. Approximately $239.2 million of the remaining balance of deposits consists of certificates of deposit, of which approximately $231.7 million, or 96.9% of remaining deposits, was due to mature within one year. Based on our experience, we believe that our savings, money market and non-interest-bearing accounts are relatively stable sources of funds. Historically, a majority of non-brokered certificates of deposit are renewed upon maturity as long as we pay competitive interest rates. Many of these customers are, however, interest-rate conscious and may be willing to move funds into higher-yielding investment alternatives. Our ability to attract and maintain deposits, as well as our cost of funds, has been, and will continue to be significantly affected by general economic conditions. In addition, as market interest rates rise, we will have competitive pressure to increase the rates we pay on deposits. If we increase interest rates paid to retain deposits, our earnings may be adversely affected.

Our principal shareholders (collectively, the “Haines Family Trusts”) have the benefit of certain registration rights covering all of their shares of our common stock pursuant to the registration rights agreement that we entered into with the Haines Family Trusts in connection with our initial public offering. Sales of a substantial number of these shares in the public market, or the perception that these sales could occur, could cause the market price of our common stock to decline or to be lower than it might otherwise be. In addition, as of December 31, 2024 approximately 55.8% of our outstanding common stock is beneficially owned by our principal shareholders, executive officers and directors. The substantial amount of common stock that is owned by and issuable to our principal shareholders, executive officers and directors may adversely affect our share price, our share price volatility and the development and persistence of an active and liquid trading market. The sale of these shares could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities.

As of December 31, 2024, the Haines Family Trusts, management, and the board of directors control approximately 55.8% of our common stock. So long as insiders continue to control more than 50% of our outstanding shares of common stock, they will have the ability, if they vote in the same manner, to determine the outcome of all matters requiring shareholder approval, including the election of directors, the approval of mergers, material acquisitions and dispositions and other extraordinary transactions, and amendments to our certificate of incorporation, bylaws and other corporate governance documents. In addition, this concentration of ownership may delay or prevent a change in control of our Company and make some transactions more difficult or impossible without the support of the Haines Family Trusts. The Haines Family Trusts also have certain rights, such as registration rights, that our other shareholders do not have. In any of these matters, the interests of the Haines Family Trusts may differ from or conflict with our interests as a company or the interests of other shareholders. Accordingly, the Haines Family Trusts could influence us to enter into transactions or agreements that other shareholders would not approve or make decisions with which other shareholders may disagree.
