Current report

The Company has identified a material weakness in its internal controls and cannot provide assurances that this weakness will be effectively remediated or that additional material weaknesses will not occur in the future.

Current report

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act, which is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP.

Current report

Management of the Company has concluded that a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting has existed as of and since June 30, 2024. Specifically, the Company did not maintain effective controls over the timely recognition of changes in value of collateral-dependent individually evaluated loans and the methodology used to evaluate loans that possess characteristics distinct from existing loan groups evaluated on a pooled basis within the portfolio and, thus, in the determination of the adequacy of its allowance for credit losses on loans. Although the Company is taking steps to remediate the material weakness, it cannot provide assurance that such remedial measures will be effective. If the Company fails to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, it may not be able to accurately report its financial results, which may, among other adverse consequences, cause investors to lose confidence in the Company’s reported financial information.
