Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant

 

On May 3, 2024, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) entered an order instituting settled administrative and cease-and-desist proceedings against BF Borgers CPA PC (“BF Borgers”) and its sole audit partner, Benjamin F. Borgers CPA, permanently barring Mr. Borgers and BF Borgers from appearing or practicing before the Commission as an accountant (the “Order”). As a result of the Order, BF Borgers may no longer serve as the independent registered public accounting firm for Red Cat Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), nor can BF Borgers issue any audit reports included in Commission filings or provide consents with respect to audit reports.

 

In light of the Order, effective as of May 6, 2024, the Company’s audit committee unanimously approved the decision to dismiss BF Borgers as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.

 

BF Borgers’ reports on the financial statements of the Company for the fiscal years ended April 30, 2023 and 2022 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they modified or qualified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles except that BF Borgers’ reports on the financial statements of the Company for the fiscal years ended April 30, 2023 and 2022 contained the following paragraph:

 

“The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.”

 

There have been no “disagreements” (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K) and no “reportable event” occurred (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K) during the fiscal years ended April 30, 2023 and 2022 and the subsequent interim periods up to and including the date of BF Borgers’ dismissal between the Company and BF Borgers on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of BF Borgers, would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with their report on the Company’s financial statements for those periods.

 

In the May 3, 2024 “Staff Statement on the Issuer Disclosure and Reporting Obligations in Light of Rule 102(e) Order Against BF Borgers CPA PC,” the Commission advised registrants that they may indicate in their Commission filing that their prior auditor is no longer permitted to appear or practice before the Commission, in lieu of including a letter from BF Borgers stating whether it agrees with our disclosures under Item 304 of Regulation S-K. In light of the Order and the staff statement, we are not requesting BF Borgers to furnish the Company with such letter.

 

The Company is in conversation with several audit firms as part of the process of engaging a new independent auditing firm. At such time as a new independent auditing firm is formally chosen, the Company will file a Current Report on Form 8-K disclosing such appointment.
