independent registered public accounting firm financial
"appointed Rosenfield & Company, PLLC as its new 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.
reportable events regulatory
"there were no disagreements with Weinberg & Company or reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v)"
Reportable events are significant incidents or changes a company is legally required to disclose to regulators and the public, such as major safety problems, legal actions, financial irregularities, or management changes. They matter to investors because these events can alter a company’s risk profile or future performance, much like a dashboard warning light signals a problem that could affect a car’s safety or reliability. Timely disclosure helps investors make informed decisions and maintain market fairness.
going concern financial
"the report contained an explanatory paragraph regarding substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern"
Going concern is the accounting assumption that a company will keep operating and meeting its obligations for the foreseeable future. The phrase matters most when a company or its auditors disclose substantial doubt about it, a formal warning that the business may not have enough resources to continue without raising money, restructuring, or selling assets. That language in a filing or press release signals elevated financial risk.
Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K regulatory
"no reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K"

On July 20, 2026, after review and recommendation of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the registrant (the “Company”), the Company appointed Rosenfield & Company, PLLC (“Rosenfield”) to replace Weinberg & Company, P.A. (“Weinberg & Company”) as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm for and with respect to the year ending December 31, 2026.

 

In connection with Weinberg & Company’s audit during the year ended December 31, 2025 and through the date of the Audit Committee’s action appointing Rosenfield, there were no (i) disagreements with Weinberg & Company on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosures or procedures, which disagreements if not resolved to Weinberg & Company’s satisfaction would have caused Weinberg & Company to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its report on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and review of the Company’s consolidated financial statements, or (ii) reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

 

During the Company’s two most recently completed fiscal years and through the date of the Company’s appointment of Rosenfield, the Company did not consult with Rosenfield regarding: (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific completed or contemplated transaction, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, and no written or oral advice was provided by Rosenfield that was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to accounting, auditing or financial reporting issues, or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement or event, as set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) or Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

 

Weinberg & Company’s audit report on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025, 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, except that the report contained an explanatory paragraph regarding substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
