Item
4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant
(a) |
Resignation of Previous Independent Registered Accounting
Firm |
On
December 20, 2023, Manning Elliott LLP (“Manning”) resigned as the Company’s independent registered public accounting
firm, effective as of that date. In its letter to the Audit Committee of the Company’s board of directors, Manning advised that
the current and anticipated operations of the Company did not meet its internal risk tolerance metrics.
Mannings’s
report on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, did not contain an adverse
opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor was it qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, other than
in the year ended December 31, 2021, it included an explanatory paragraph regarding substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability
to continue as a going concern.
During
the years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 and the subsequent interim period through December 20, 2023, there were no “disagreements”
(as such term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to Item 304) with Manning 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 Manning would have caused Manning to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements or reportable events
in connection with its reports on the financial statements for such years and interim periods. During the years ended December 31, 2022
and December 31, 2021, and the subsequent interim period through September 30, 2023, there have been no “reportable events”
(as such term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
In
accordance with Item 304(a)(3) of Regulation S-K, the Company provided Manning with a copy of the disclosure it is making in this Current
Report on Form 8-K and requested that Manning furnish the Company with a copy of its letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange
Commission stating whether Manning agrees with the statements made by the Company in response to Item 304(a) of Regulation S-K. A copy
of Mannings’s letter to the SEC dated December 20, 2023 is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
(b) |
Appointment of New Independent Registered Public Accounting
Firm |
On
December 20, 2023, the Company’s Audit Committee approved the engagement of PKF O’Connor Davies (“PKF”)
as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023, effective immediately.
During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 and through the subsequent interim period as of December 20, 2023, neither the Company,
nor any party on behalf of the Company, consulted with PKF regarding either (a) the application of accounting principles to a specified
transaction, either completed or proposed, or the audit opinion that might be rendered regarding the Company’s consolidated financial
statements, and no written report or oral advice was provided to the Company that PKF concluded was an important factor considered by
the Company in deciding on any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue, or (b) any matter subject of any “disagreement”
(as such term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) or a “reportable event” (as
such term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
