Item 4.02.         Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.

On December 11, 2023, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Quaint Oak Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company,” “we” or “our”) concluded that the Company’s previously issued consolidated financial statements for the interim periods ended June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2023 (the “Restated Periods”), should no longer be relied upon because of a reclassification related to expenses on deposit accounts obtained from a correspondent banking relationship that resulted in material misstatements of interest expense and other non-interest expense for the Restated Periods. The Company entered into the correspondent banking relationship in May 2022. The Audit Committee concluded that the effect on the consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2022 were not material. Additionally, the Company’s earnings releases and other public communications for the Restated Periods should no longer be relied upon to the extent that they relate to our consolidated financial statements for the Restated Periods.

The Audit Committee determined that the Company accounted for the expense related to checking account deposits received from the correspondent banking relationship as other non-interest expense rather than interest expense on deposits. The deposits which were reported as non-interest bearing deposits on our consolidated balance sheets have been reclassified, in part, as interest-bearing deposits for the Restated Periods. A portion of the deposits related to the correspondent banking relationship remain classified as non-interest bearing deposits. As a result of the reclassification, interest expense for the Restated Periods increased resulting in a decrease in net interest income for the Restated Periods. Other non-interest expense and total non-interest expense decreased for the Restated Periods as a result of the reclassification. In addition, as a result of the restatement, the Company’s interest rate spread and net interest margin will decrease for the Restated Periods.

The Company does not believe that the restatement reflects any significant financial impact on the Company’s financial condition or earnings as of and for the periods ended June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2023, or any trends in the Company’s business or its prospects. The restatements are not expected to have any impact on total balance sheet amounts, including total deposits and stockholders’ equity for the Restated Periods. The restatements are not expected to have any impact on net income or earnings per share for the Restated Periods.

Management and the Audit Committee have discussed the matters disclosed in this report with S.R. Snodgrass, P.C., the Company’s current independent registered public accounting firm.

Forward-Looking Statements Are Subject to Change

This report contains certain forward-looking statements (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the regulations thereunder). Forward-looking statements are not historical facts but instead represent only the beliefs, expectations or opinions of the Company and its management regarding future events, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of such words as: “believe”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “plan”, “estimate”, or words of similar meaning, or future or conditional terms such as “will”, “would”, “should”, “could”, “may”, “likely”, “probably”, or “possibly.” Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, financial projections and estimates and their underlying assumptions; statements regarding plans, objectives and expectations with respect to future operations, products and services; and statements regarding future performance. Such statements are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions, many of which are difficult to predict and generally are beyond the control of the Company and its management, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied or projected by, forward-looking statements. The Company undertakes no obligation to update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that occur after the date on which such statements were made.
