Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
CBIZ CPAs P.C. (“CBIZ CPAs”) acquired the attest business of Marcum LLP (“Marcum”), effective November 1, 2024. As a result of this transaction, on June 26, 2025, Marcum resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of Cell Source, Inc. (the “Company”) and, with the approval of the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, CBIZ CPAs was engaged as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ended December 31, 2024.
The audit reports of Marcum on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except that the report for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 included an explanatory paragraph relating to substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Marcum did not provide an audit report on the Company’s consolidated financial statement for the year ended December 31, 2024.
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, 2022 and the subsequent interim period through June 26, 2025, there were (i) no disagreements (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) with Marcum on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements if not resolved to the satisfaction of Marcum would have caused them to make reference thereto in connection with their reports on the financial statements for such years and (ii) no reportable events (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, and through June 26, 2025, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf consulted with CBIZ CPAs regarding either: (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to the Company that CBIZ CPAs concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) or any reportable event (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
The Company provided Marcum with a copy of the above statements and requested that Marcum furnish it with a letter addressed to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements. A copy of such letter, dated June 27, 2025, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
