Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant
On May 8, 2024, the relationship between our Company and the firm of BF Borgers CPA PC (“BF Borgers”), our independent accountant, was dismissed upon the recommendation of the Company’s Audit Committee and by the unanimous approval of the Company’s Board of Directors.
In connection with the audit of our financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, there were no disagreements with BF Borgers on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope of procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of BF Borgers, would have caused them to make reference in connection with its reports to the subject matter of the disagreements. No “disagreement” and no “reportable event” leading to a difference of opinion as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) and Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K of the SEC’s rules and regulations have occurred during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and 2023, as of May 8, 2024, or preceding the dismissal of BF Borgers.
The audit report of BF Borgers on our financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor was it qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, other than an explanatory paragraph relating to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern on the Company’s December 31, 2022 financials.
We have requested that BF Borgers furnish us with a letter addressed to the Commission stating whether it agrees with the above statements. A copy of this letter is included herewith as Exhibit 16.1.
