Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountants
(a) Dismissal of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
On April 4, 2024, the Audit Committee and Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Nymox Pharmaceutical Corporation (the “Company”) approved the dismissal of TPS THAYER, LLC, formerly known as Thayer O’Neal Company, LLC (“TPS”), as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.
The audit reports of TPS on the Company’s financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle, except as follows:
TPS’s report on the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023 stated that the Company will continue as a going concern, and the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations, has shareholders’ deficit and negative working capital that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The going concern assessment is dependent upon the Company’s ability to raise capital and generate revenue and profits in the future. Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the financial statements. These procedures also included, among others, testing management’s process for projecting cash flow requirements for the twelve months after the year end, testing the completeness and accuracy of underlying data and assumptions used in the projected cash flow analysis and their disclosure in the financial statements regarding their going concern.
During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 and through the subsequent interim period to April 4, 2024, the date of TPS’s dismissal, there were no: (i) disagreements with TPS on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the their satisfaction, would have caused them to make reference in connection with their opinion to the subject matter of the disagreements, or (2) reportable events.
The Company has provided TPS with a copy of the above disclosures and has requested that TPS furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not TPS agrees with the above statements. A letter from TPS is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 6-K.
(b) New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
On April 4, 2024, the Board approved the engagement of M&K CPAS, PLLC (“M&K”) to serve as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm. Prior to the date of M&K’s engagement, the Company has not consulted with M&K regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific completed or contemplated transaction, (ii) the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements and neither a written report was provided to the registrant nor oral advice was provided that the new accountant concluded was an important factor considered by the registrant in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (iii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement.
