BMRCMEDIUM SIGNALRISK10-K

BMRC disclosed accounting errors in its consolidated financial statements that required reclassification of deposits and related expenses, though management states net income and earnings per share were unaffected.

The identification of accounting errors during the annual review process raises questions about internal controls and financial reporting accuracy, even though management characterizes the impact as non-material to bottom-line results. The need to restate prior communications and advise investors not to rely on previously issued financial information suggests broader concerns about data integrity that warrant investor attention.

As of February 27, 2026, there were 16,126,486 shares of common stock outstanding.
Similarly, related earnings releases, press releases, shareholder communications, investor presentations or other communications describing relevant portions of the Affected Financials should no longer be relied upon.
The adjustments required to be made in the Affected Financials were as a result of errors that the Company s current management identified during the Company s annual review process related to the preparation of its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025.
The errors resulted in impacts to certain line items of the Company s Consolidated Statement of Condition and Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive (Loss) Income but did not impact the Company s net income or earnings per share for any of the Affected Periods.
Certain deposits were included in non-interest bearing deposits when they should have been included in interest bearing deposits.
Additionally, the expense related thereto was included in deposit network fees within non-interest operating expense instead of interest expense, although the mistaken classification of the expense was determined not to be material and had no impact on net income or earnings per share.
The required reclassifications on the balance sheet from non-interest bearing deposits to interest bearing deposits were determined to be material, although the reclassifications are not expected to have any impact on total Consolidated Statement of Condition amounts, including total deposits and stockholders equity for the Affected Periods.
The adjustments to the Company s Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive (Loss) Income for the Affected Periods were deemed necessary for consistency of presentation between prior periods once the adjustments were made to interest expense and non-interest expense for 2025.
Because the corrections of this misstatement have, taken as a whole, been determined to be material to the Affected Financials, the Board concluded that the Affected Financials should no longer be relied upon.
In addition to the correction of the Affected Financials included in Note 19, financial information and related narrative discussion in Part II, Item 7.
