Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant
On February 9, 2026, the Board of Directors of Norris Industries, Inc. (the “Company”) dismissed BDO USA, P.C. (“BDO”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, effective as of February 9, 2026.
BDO has not issued an audit report on the Company’s financial statements for any fiscal period.
Prior to BDO’s engagement, the Company’s financial statements were audited by HORNE LLP (“HORNE”). On November 1, 2025, the partners and professional staff of HORNE joined BDO.
The report of HORNE on the financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2025 and February 29, 2024 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
Disagreements with Former Auditor
During the period from the engagement of BDO on November 1, 2025, through February 9, 2026, there was a disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K) between the Company and BDO related to the accounting for the Company’s issued and outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred Stock in the Company’s financial statements.
Specifically, the disagreement relates to whether the Company’s issued and outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred Stock should be presented as permanent equity or temporary (mezzanine) equity.
Reportable Events
Other than the matter described above, and the material weaknesses noted below there were no reportable events (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K) during the periods described herein.
