EXPLANATORY NOTE
On July 24, 2025, Burzynski Research Institute, Inc. (the "Company") filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the "Original Report") to report the resignation of Pannell Kerr Forsterof Texas, P.C.("PKF") as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm on July 21, 2025, and related matters under Item 4.01 of Form 8-K.
The Company hereby amends the Original Report by filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 8-K/A to include disclosures regarding the appointment of new independent registered auditors of the Company, as required under Item 4.01(b).
Item 4.01 of the Original Report is amended and restated in its entirety as set forth below.
Except as set forth herein, no other modifications have been made to the Original Report.
Item 4.01 | Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant. |
(a) Resignation of Previous Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
On July 21, 2025, the Company received notice from PKF, the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, notifying the Company that PKF had been recently acquired by another accounting firm and would not be able to act as the Company's registered public accounting firm in the future. As such, the effective date of such resignation was July 21, 2025.
During the Company's two most recent fiscal years (ended February 28, 2025 and February 29, 2024) and the subsequent interim period through May 31, 2025, there were no "disagreements" (within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) between the Company and PKF 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 PKF, would have caused PKF to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in its reports on the financial statements of the Company for such years. Also during this same period, there were no "reportable events" (within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions under the Exchange Act).
The Company has provided PKF with a copy of the foregoing disclosures under Item 4.01 on Form 8-K prior to filing it with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and has requested that PKF furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether it agrees with the statements made by the Company under Item 4.01 of this Form 8-K. A copy of PKF's letter, dated July 24, 2025, was filed as Exhibit 16.1 in the Original Report and incorporated herein by reference.
(b) Engagement of New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
On September 9, 2025, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the engagement of M&K CPA's PLLC ("M&K") as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Company for the fiscal year ending February 28, 2026. During the Company's two most recent fiscal years (ended February 28, 2025 and February 29, 2024) and the subsequent interim period prior to the engagement of M&K, neither the Company, nor anyone on the Company's behalf consulted with M&K regarding (1) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed; (2) the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company's financial statements; or (3) the subject of any "disagreement," as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act and the instructions thereto, or a "reportable event," as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act.
