Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

 

(a) Dismissal of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

On August 30, 2023, the Board of Directors and Audit Committee of Solitron Devices, Inc. (the “Company”), approved the dismissal of MaloneBailey, LLP (“MaloneBailey”), as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company, effective immediately. The Company subsequently notified MaloneBailey of the dismissal.

 

The reports of MaloneBailey on the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended February 28, 2023 and 2022 did not contain any adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle. During the fiscal years ended February 28, 2023 and 2022 and the subsequent interim period through August 30, 2023, the effective date of MaloneBailey’s dismissal, there were (i) no disagreements (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) between the Company and MaloneBailey on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of MaloneBailey would have caused MaloneBailey to make reference thereto in its reports on the financial statements of the Company for such years, and (ii) no “reportable events” (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K, except for the material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as disclosed in the Company’s Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the years ended February 28, 2023 and 2022).

 

The Company provided MaloneBailey with a copy of this Current Report on Form 8-K and requested that MaloneBailey furnish a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not MaloneBailey agrees with the above disclosures. A copy of MaloneBailey’s letter is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

(b) Engagement of New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

On August 30, 2023, following approval by the Company’s Board of Directors and Audit Committee, the Company appointed Whitley Penn LLP (“Whitley Penn”) as the new independent registered public accounting firm of the Company.

 

During the fiscal years ended February 28, 2023 and 2022 and the subsequent interim period through August 30, 2023, the effective date of Whitley Penn’s appointment, neither the Company, nor any party on behalf of the Company, consulted with Whitley Penn with respect to either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of the audit opinion that might be rendered with respect to the Company’s financial statements, and no written report or oral advice was provided to the Company by Whitley Penn that was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue, or (ii) any matter that was subject to any disagreement (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) or a reportable event (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
