Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
On July 21, 2025, Burzynski Research Institute, Inc. (the “Company”), received notice from Pannell Kerr Forster of Texas, P.C. (“PKF”), the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, notifying the Company that PKF had been recently acquired by another accounting firm and would not be able to act as the Company’s registered public accounting firm in the future. As such, the effective date of such resignation was July 21, 2025.
The Company intends to engage a new independent registered public accounting firm as soon as possible and will file a Form 8-K/A when the new independent registered public accounting firm has been appointed.
During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years (ended February 28, 2025 and February 29, 2024) and the subsequent interim period through May 31, 2025, there were no “disagreements” (within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) between the Company and PKF on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of PKF, would have caused PKF to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in its reports on the financial statements of the Company for such years. Also during this same period, there were no “reportable events” (within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions under the Exchange Act).
The Company has provided PKF with a copy of the foregoing disclosures under Item 4.01 on Form 8-K prior to filing it with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and has requested that PKF furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether it agrees with the statements made by the Company under Item 4.01 of this Form 8-K. A copy of PKF’s letter, dated July 24, 2025, is attached as Exhibit 16.1 to this report on Form 8-K.
