<u>EXPLANATORY NOTE</u>

This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A to the Quarter Report of Farmers and Merchants Bancshares, Inc. (the "Company") on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, which was initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on May 15, 2025 (the "Original Report"), is being filed to include in Part I thereof the information required by Item 3 and Item 4, which was inadvertently omitted. Pursuant to Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, new certifications by the Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer are filed or furnished with this Amendment No. 1 as Exhibits 31.1, 31.2, and 32.1, so Item 6 of Part II of the Original Report is also amended hereby.

Except as expressly provided above, this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A speaks as of the date of the Original Report and the Company has not updated the disclosures contained in any item thereof to speak as of a later date. All information contained in this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A is subject to updating and supplementing as provided in the Company's reports filed with the SEC subsequent to the date on which the Original Report was filed.

**PART I** – **FINANCIAL INFORMATION**

**Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk**

Farmers and Merchants Bancshares, Inc. is a "smaller reporting company" as defined in Rule 12b-2 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and, accordingly, is not required to include the information required by this item.

**Item 4. Controls and Procedures**

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act with the SEC, such as this Quarterly Report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the periods specified in those rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including Farmers and Merchants Bancshares, Inc.'s principal executive officer ("PEO") and the principal financial officer ("PFO"), as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

An evaluation of the effectiveness of these disclosure controls as of March 31, 2025 was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the PEO and the PFO. Based on that evaluation, management, including the PEO and the PFO, has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are, in fact, effective at the reasonable assurance level.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2025, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
