Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant

 

On November 1, 2024, CBIZ CPAs P.C. acquired the attest business of Marcum LLP (“Marcum”). On April 2, 2025, Marcum informed Escalon Medical Corp. (the “Company”) that Marcum resigned as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. Also on April 2, 2025, the Company, with the approval of the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, engaged CBIZ CPAs P.C. as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.

 

Neither of Marcum’s reports on the financial statements of the Registrant for either of the past two fiscal years ended, June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively, contained an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, or was qualified or modified as to audit scope, or accounting principles, except for including an explanatory paragraph as to substantial doubt about the ability to continue as a going concern.

 

During the Registrant’s two most recent fiscal years ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively, and the subsequent interim period through April 2, 2025, there were no disagreements with Marcum on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreement(s), if not resolved to the satisfaction of Marcum, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement(s) in connection with its report.

 

During the Registrant’s two most recent fiscal years ended June 30, 2024 and June 30 2023, respectively, and the subsequent interim period through December 31, 2024, the Company had the following “reportable events” (as such term is defined in Item 304 of Regulation S-K): As disclosed in Part II, Item 9A of the Company’s Form 10-Ks for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, there were material weaknesses identified in internal control related to the proper design and implementation of controls over our estimates relating to the valuation of inventory, specifically over the precision of management’s review.

 

The Registrant has provided Marcum with a copy of the above disclosures prior to this filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”). A letter to the Commission, dated April 4, 2025, from Marcum regarding its concurrence with the statements made by the Registrant in this current report concerning the dismissal of Marcum as the Registrant’s independent registered public accounting firm is attached as Exhibit 16 hereto.

 

During the Registrant’s two most recent fiscal years ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively, and the subsequent interim period through April 2, 2025, neither the Registrant nor anyone on its behalf has consulted with CBIZ CPAs P.C. with respect to either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Registrant’s consolidated financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to the Registrant that CBIZ CPAs P.C. concluded was an important factor considered by the Registrant in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Item 304 of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K) or a reportable event (as defined in Item 304 of Regulation S-K).
