Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
The Company has been advised that Accell Audit and Compliance, P.A. (“Accell”) is ceasing to provide PCAOB audit services. It is our understanding that certain of the audit principals of Accell are now a part of Astra Audit and Advisory, LLP, and as such we are making this change in auditors to accommodate their transition. Accell issued the auditor’s report on the Company’s financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.
Other than an explanatory paragraph included in Accell’s audit report for the Company’s fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 relating to the uncertainty of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, the audit reports of Accell on the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and such reports were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principle.
During the Company’s fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 and any subsequent interim period through August 12, 2024, the date of the dismissal of Accell, there were no disagreements with Accell on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to Accell’s satisfaction, would have caused Accell to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with their report on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for such years; and there were not reportable events, as listed in Item 304(a)(l)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The Company provided Accell with a copy of the disclosure contained in this Form 8-K and requested in writing that Accell furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with such disclosures. Accell provided a letter, dated August 12, 2024, stating its agreement with such statements, which is attached as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.
(b) Engagement of New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.
Effective August 12, 2024, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the appointment of Astra Audit & Advisory LLC., as its independent registered public accountant for the quarters ending June and September of 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2024. During the Company’s most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 and subsequent interim periods through the date of appointment, neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf has consulted with Astra Audit & Advisory LLC with respect to: (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, or (ii) any other matter or reportable events listed in Items 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.
