Insights

Auditor change follows a going-concern emphasis, signaling elevated financial risk.

Concrete Leveling Systems reports a mutual separation from auditor Stephano Slack LLC and engagement of Sadler, Gibb & Associates, LLC as its new independent registered public accounting firm, effective June 12, 2026. The change covers audits for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2025.

Stephano’s most recent audit opinion for the year ended July 31, 2025 included an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. That language is formally identified as a reportable event, highlighting significant uncertainty around the company’s financial viability.

The company states there were no disagreements with Stephano on accounting principles, practices, or audit scope, and no other reportable events beyond the going-concern emphasis. It also notes no prior consultations with Sadler Gibb on accounting treatments or likely audit opinions, indicating the new engagement begins without pre-cleared positions disclosed in this report.

Audit fiscal year Year ended July 31, 2025 Period covered by the going-concern emphasis
independent registered public accounting firm financial
"engaged Sadler, Gibb & Associates, LLC (“Sadler Gibb”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm"
An independent registered public accounting firm is an outside accounting company officially registered with the government regulator to examine and report on a public company's financial records and controls. Investors treat its reports like an impartial inspector’s certificate — they add credibility to financial statements, help spot errors or misleading claims, and reduce the risk that shareholders are relying on unchecked or biased numbers.
going concern financial
"contained an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern"
A going concern is a business that is expected to continue its operations and meet its obligations for the foreseeable future, rather than shutting down or selling off assets. This assumption matters to investors because it indicates stability and ongoing profitability, making the business a more reliable investment. Think of it as believing a restaurant will stay open and serve customers, rather than closing down suddenly.
reportable event regulatory
"there was a reportable event (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K)"
Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K regulatory
"no disagreements (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions)"
Emerging Growth Company financial
"Emerging Growth Company Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant."
An emerging growth company is a recently public or smaller public firm that qualifies for temporary, lighter regulatory and disclosure rules to reduce the cost and effort of being public. For investors, it means the company may provide less historical financial detail and face fewer reporting requirements than larger firms, so it can grow more quickly but also carries higher uncertainty—like buying a promising early-stage product with fewer user reviews.

Except for the foregoing, there were no reportable events (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).

 

The Company provided Stephano with a copy of this Current Report on Form 8-K addressed to the SEC stating whether or not it agrees with the statements made by the Company. Stephano has provided company with a letter and said letter attached.
