Form: 10-Q
Item: Part I, Item 1
Chunk 87
---
 there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.  

Notwithstanding the below identified material weakness, and notwithstanding the conclusion by our CEO and CFO that our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2025 were not effective, management believes the consolidated financial statements as included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q present fairly, in all material respects, the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows as of and for the periods presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management has determined that the Company did not effectively perform controls on a timely basis relating to the loan operations quality control review function for all new loans originated during the period.  Management communicated the results of its assessment to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. 

Remediation steps have been taken and implemented to address the material weakness described above through the following steps:

•New leadership oversees the loan operations department;  

•Additional staff have been added to the quality control function; and  

•Enhanced monitoring processes have been instituted by the new loan department leadership.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Other than as described above, there were no changes in First Guaranty's internal control over financial reporting during the last fiscal quarter in the period covered by this quarterly report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, First Guaranty's internal control over financial reporting.
