Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Blue Gold Limited reported a change in its external auditors. After PKF Texas indicated it could no longer serve as auditor following its acquisition by Withum Smith+Brown, Blue Gold engaged LAO Professionals on an interim basis to audit its standalone financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024. On October 8, 2025, the company’s Audit Committee approved the appointment of PKF Littlejohn LLP as the new independent registered public accounting firm.

LAO Professionals’ audit reports for 2024 contained no adverse or disclaimed opinions and were not qualified for uncertainty, scope, or accounting principles, but did include an explanatory paragraph raising substantial doubt about Blue Gold’s ability to continue as a going concern. The company states there were no disagreements with LAO Professionals and no reportable events for 2024, and has filed LAO Professionals’ confirmation letter to the SEC as an exhibit.

Negative

Insights

Blue Gold changes auditors while disclosing going concern uncertainty.

The company moved from PKF Texas, which could no longer serve after an acquisition, to LAO Professionals on an interim basis and then to PKF Littlejohn LLP as its independent registered public accounting firm effective October 8, 2025. The filing emphasizes that LAO’s 2024 audit opinions were clean in terms of scope and accounting principles.

However, LAO’s reports included an explanatory paragraph about substantial doubt regarding Blue Gold’s ability to continue as a going concern for the year ended December 31, 2024. This type of language typically reflects pressure on liquidity, profitability, or both, as assessed by the auditor. The company also states there were no disagreements or reportable events with LAO, which reduces concerns about disputes over accounting or disclosure practices.

The appointment of PKF Littlejohn LLP signals a transition to a longer-term audit relationship, but the going concern emphasis remains a key risk factor until financial conditions improve. Future audited financial statements and related audit opinions will be important to understand whether this substantial doubt persists or is resolved.

Change in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant

 

As previously disclosed in Amendment No. 2 to the Form F-1/A and the Form 6-K Periodic Report filed on August 26, 2025 by Blue Gold Limited (“Blue Gold”), due to changes in the auditor’s combined business following the acquisition of Pannell Kerr Forster of Texas P.C. (“PKF Texas”) by Withum Smith+Brown, PC (“Withum”), PKF Texas notified Blue Gold on August 2, 2025 that it would no longer be able to serve as auditor of Blue Gold.

 

On August 3, 2025, Blue Gold engaged LAO Professionals as its interim independent registered public accounting firm on a limited basis to prepare standalone audited financial statements of Blue Gold as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024. Subsequently, on October 8, 2025, the Audit Committee of Blue Gold approved the engagement and appointment of PKF Littlejohn LLP as independent registered public accounting firm, effective as of such date.

 

The reports of LAO Professionals for the financial statements of Blue Gold as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024 did not contain any adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor were such reports qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. LAO Professional’s audit reports contained an explanatory paragraph related to the substantial doubt of Blue Gold’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

As of October 10, 2025, there were no disagreements with LAO Professionals on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosures or auditing scope or procedure, which such disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of LAO Professionals, would have caused LAO Professionals to make reference thereto in its reports on the financial statements of Blue Gold for such period. As of and for the year ended December 31, 2024, there were no “reportable events” as that term is described in paragraphs (A) through (D) of Item 16F(a)(1)(v) of Form 20-F.

 

In accordance with Item 16F(a)(3) of Form 20-F, Blue Gold furnished LAO Professionals with a copy of this Form 6-K, providing LAO Professionals with the opportunity to furnish Blue Gold with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) stating whether it agrees with the statements made by Blue Gold herein in response to Item 16F(a) of Form 20-F, and if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. Attached as Exhibit 16.1 is a copy of LAO Professionals’ letter addressed to the SEC relating to the statements made by Blue Gold in this report.
