Rhea-AI Filing Summary

ConnectM Technology Solutions reported that Adeptus Partners, LLC resigned as the company’s independent registered public accounting firm on August 7, 2025. Adeptus's audit reports for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 did not contain adverse opinions or disclaimers and were not qualified for scope or accounting principles, but did include an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The company states that during the two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period, neither the company nor anyone acting on its behalf consulted KNAV on accounting or auditing matters, and no disagreements or reportable events with KNAV were identified. A letter from Adeptus is attached as Exhibit 16.1 to the Current Report.

Insights

Financial Analyst

TL;DR: Auditor change amid going-concern notes and disclosed control weaknesses increases near-term reporting risk but no disagreements were reported.

The resignation of Adeptus and replacement with KNAV is a material corporate disclosure because auditor continuity affects investor confidence in financial reporting. Adeptus's reports included explanatory paragraphs citing substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern for 2023 and 2024, and material weaknesses in disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting were previously disclosed in both annual reports. The filing notes no disagreements with Adeptus and that KNAV was not previously consulted, which limits immediate technical dispute risk but does not remove the underlying operational and liquidity concerns signaled by the going-concern notes and control deficiencies.

Corporate Governance Expert

TL;DR: Auditor resignation plus repeated material weaknesses and going-concern explanatory language is a governance red flag requiring remediation and oversight.

The filing documents a change in certifying accountant following audit reports that included substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern and communicated material weaknesses in disclosure and internal controls for two consecutive years. These disclosures point to persistent control and financial stability issues that raise governance concerns about risk management, financial reporting quality, and board oversight. While the company reports no disagreements with Adeptus and engaged KNAV promptly, the core deficiencies remain until remediation is completed and validated by effective controls and a clean audit opinion.

(a) Resignation of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

On August 7, 2025, Adeptus Partners, LLC (“Adeptus”) resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm to ConnectM Technology Solutions, Inc.

The audit reports of Adeptus for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 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 that the reports included an explanatory paragraph relating to substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

During the Company’s fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the subsequent interim period through August 7, 2025, there were no disagreements (within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and related instructions) between the Company and Adeptus on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Adeptus, would have caused Adeptus to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with Adeptus’s reports on the Company’s financial statements for such periods.

During the Company’s fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the subsequent interim period through August 7, 2025, the only “reportable events” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K) were Adeptus’s communications to the Company of the material weakness in disclosure controls and procedures disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the “2024 Form 10-K”) and in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “2023 Form 10-K”), and the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting disclosed in the 2024 Form 10-K and the 2023 Form 10-K. Descriptions of the foregoing material weaknesses in Part II, Item 9A. “Controls and Procedures” in the 2024 Form 10-K and the 2023 Form 10-K are incorporated herein by reference.

The Company provided Adeptus with a copy of this Current Report on Form 8-K prior to its filing with the SEC and requested that Adeptus furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether Adeptus agrees with the statements made by the Company in this Current Report on Form 8-K and, if not, stating the respects, if any, in which Adeptus does not agree with such statements.
