Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant
(a) Termination of Previous Independent Registered Accounting Firm
On December 30, 2024, Marcum LLP (“Marcum”) was dismissed by the Company’s Board of Directors as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, effective as of that date. Marcum’s report on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2024, and September 30, 2023, 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 September 30, 2024, it included an explanatory paragraph regarding substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
During the years ended September 30, 2024, and September 30, 2023, and the subsequent interim period through December 30, 2024, 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 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 disagreements or reportable events in connection with its reports on the financial statements for such years and interim periods.
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 Marcum with a copy of the disclosure it is making in this Current Report on Form 8-K and requested that Marcum furnish the Company with a copy of its letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether Marcum agrees with the statements made by the Company in response to Item 304(a) of Regulation S-K. A copy of Marcum’s letter to the SEC dated December 30, 2024, 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 30, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the engagement of Grassi & Co., CPAs, P.C. (“Grassi”) as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2025, effective immediately. During the years ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, and through the subsequent interim period through and as of December 30, 2024, neither the Company, nor any party on behalf of the Company, consulted with Grassi 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 Grassi 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).
