Insights

Nukkleus changes audit firms without reported disputes, amid prior going concern language.

Nukkleus Inc. replaced GreenGrowth CPAs with Somekh Chaikin, a member firm of KPMG International, as its independent auditors effective January 14, 2026, for the year ending December 31, 2025. The change was approved by the board, and the new engagement is still subject to completion of client acceptance procedures.

GreenGrowth’s prior audit reports for the years ended December 31, 2024, September 30, 2024 and 2023 were unqualified except for explanatory paragraphs on Nukkleus Inc.’s ability to continue as a going concern, citing recurring operating losses and a working capital deficit. The company also states there were no disagreements or reportable events with GreenGrowth over accounting principles, disclosures, or audit scope during the covered periods.

The filing notes that Nukkleus Inc. did not consult Somekh Chaikin in advance on specific accounting transactions or anticipated audit opinions during the referenced years. Future audited financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2025 will reflect the new firm’s approach once the client acceptance process is completed.

GreenGrowth’s dismissal was approved by the Company’s board of directors (“Board”) as of such date.

 

Effective as of January 14, 2026, the Company engaged Somekh Chaikin, a member firm of KPMG International (“Somekh Chaikin”), as the Company’s independent external auditors for the year ending December 31, 2025. The appointment of Somekh Chaikin, which was approved by the stockholders of the Company at the Company’s annual meeting held on November 6, 2025, is subject to completion of Somekh Chaikin’s client acceptance procedures.

 

GreenGrowth had served as the Company’s independent auditors since November 2023. GreenGrowth’s reports on the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024, September 30, 2024 and 2023, did not contain any adverse opinions or disclaimers of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except that such reports included explanatory paragraphs with respect to the Company’s ability, in light of its recurring losses from operations and a working capital deficit, to continue as a going concern.

 

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024, September 30, 2024 and 2023, and through January 14, 2026, there were no (a) disagreements (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K) with GreenGrowth on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to GreenGrowth’s satisfaction, would have caused GreenGrowth to make reference to the subject matter thereof in connection with its reports for such years; or (b) reportable events, as described under Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

 

The Company provided GreenGrowth with a copy of the disclosures it is making in this Current Report on Form 8-K and requested that GreenGrowth provide a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission indicating whether it agrees with such disclosures.
