| Item 4.01 | Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant. |
(a) Resignation of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
On November 1, 2024, CBIZ CPAs P.C. (“CBIZ CPAs”) acquired the attest business of Marcum LLP (“Marcum”). On May 8, 2025, the Company dismissed Marcum as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm as a result of such acquisition, and the Company’s audit committee approved the dismissal.
The audit report of Marcum on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, except that the report included an explanatory paragraph relating to substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, and through May 8, 2025, there were no (1) “disagreements” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) between the Company and Marcum 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 Marcum, would have caused Marcum to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in their reports on the financial statements for such years, or (2) “reportable events” (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
The Company has provided Marcum with a copy of the foregoing disclosures it is making in this Item 4.01(a) of this Current Report on Form 8-K prior to its filing and requested that Marcum furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not Marcum agrees with the statements made in this Item 4.01(a). Attached as Exhibit 16.1 is a copy of Marcum’s letter, dated May 12, 2025, stating that it agrees with such statements.
(b) Engagement of New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
On May 8, 2025, with the approval of the Company’s audit committee, CBIZ CPAs was engaged as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025.
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, and through May 8, 2025, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf consulted with CBIZ CPAs regarding (1) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company's financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to the Company that CBIZ CPAs concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue, or (2) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) or a reportable event (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
