Item 4.01 CHANGES IN REGISTRANT’S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT.
On October 28, 2022, Liggett & Webb P.A. (“Liggett”) resigned as the independent auditors of Balance Labs, Inc., a company incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Company”). The Company’s board accepted Liggett’s termination on October 31, 2022.
The reports of Liggett on the financial statements of the Company as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except that the reports of Liggett for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 contained an explanatory paragraph which noted that there was substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern because the Company has experienced net losses since inception and negative cash flows from operations and has relied on loans from related parties to fund its operations. .
During the Company’s most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period through October 28, 2022, there were no disagreements with Liggett 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 Liggett, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement(s) in connection with its report. During the Company’s most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period through October 28, 2022, there were no reportable events of the type described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The Company provided Liggett with a copy of the foregoing disclosure and requested Liggett to furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the statements made therein. A copy of such letter furnished by Liggett is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.
On October 31, 2022, the Board approved the engagement of Assurance Dimensions (“Assurance”) as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm for the review of the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2022 and to audit the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022.
During the Company’s most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period through September 30, 2022, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf consulted with Assurance regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed; 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 that Assurance 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 its related instructions) or a reportable event (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
