| Item 4.01 | Change in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant. |
Friedman LLP was engaged as the independent registered public accounting firm of Clearday, Inc., (“Clearday” or the “Company”) on November 5, 2021 for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021 and was the independent registered public accounting firm of Allied Integral United, Inc. (“AIU”). As previously reported by the Company on a Current Report on Form 8K filed on September 10, 2021, on September 9, 2021, the Company completed its previously announced acquisition and merger with AIU.
On November 30, 2021, Friedman resigned as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.
The report of Friedman LLP on AIU’s consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020 that were included in the Company’s registration statement filed on Form S-4, Registration No. 333-256138, as amended on June 14, 2021 (the “Merger Registration Statement”) 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 each such report contains an explanatory paragraph regarding AIU’s ability to continue as a going concern.
During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020, and the subsequent interim period through November 30, 2021, there were no: (1) disagreements (as defined in Item 304(a)(l)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) with Friedman LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreement if not resolved to the satisfaction of Friedman LLP would have caused Friedman LLP to make reference thereto in its reports on the consolidated financial statements for such years, or (2) reportable events (as described in Item 304(a)(l)(v) of Regulation S-K).
On November 30, 2021, Friedman LLP resigned as Clearday’s independent registered public accounting firm.
The Company is considering other firms to be our independent registered public accounting firm to provide an audit report or the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ending December 31, 2021.
The Company delivered a copy of this Current Report on Form 8-K to Friedman LLP on December 3, 2021 and requested that it provide a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not Friedman LLP agrees with the statements made in response to this Item 4.0l and copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 16.1, stating that Friedman LLP agrees with the statements set forth in paragraphs first, second, third fourth, fifth and seventh of this Item 4.01.
