Resignation of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
On September 30, 2024, in conjunction with its exit from providing audit services to publicly traded companies, Morison Cogen LLP (“Morison Cogen”) resigned from its role as independent registered public accounting firm for TNF Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”).
The reports of Morison Cogen’s on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except as follows: Morison Cogen’s report on the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 and for each of the years then ended, contained a separate paragraph stating, “The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has experienced net losses and negative cash flows from operations for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.”
During the two most recent fiscal years, ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and the subsequent interim period through September 30, 2024, (i) there were no disagreements (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K) with Morison Cogen 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 Morison Cogen, would have caused Morison Cogen to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for such years, and (ii) there were no “reportable events,” as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The Company provided Morison Cogen with a copy of the above disclosures and requested that Morison Cogen furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the statements made above. A copy of Morison Cogen’s letter dated October 4, 2024, is attached as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
Appointment of New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
On October 3, 2024, the Audit Committee engaged Stephano Slack LLC (“Stephano Slack”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, effective immediately.
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and the subsequent interim period through September 30, 2024, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf has consulted with Stephano Slack regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to any specified transaction, either 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 Stephano Slack concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing, or financial reporting issue, or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a “disagreement,” as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K, or a “reportable event,” as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
