Item 4.01 Change in Issuer's Certifying Accountant
Item 4.01 Changes in Issuer's Certifying Accountants. The Board of Directors (the "Board") of UNIVERSAL TOKEN, INC. (the "Company") recently conducted a competitive selection process to determine the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. The Committee invited several public accounting firms to participate in the process. As a result of this process, the Committee approved the appointment of CNGSN & Associates LLP ("CNGSN") as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. The decision to change accountants to CNGSN from M.S. Mahava Rao ("RAO") was approved by the Board, effective December 19, 2025. The reports of RAO on the Company's financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, were qualified as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern but were not qualified as to audit scope or accounting principles. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, and the subsequent interim period preceding such dismissal, (i) there was no disagreement with RAO on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which disagreement, if not resolved to the satisfaction of RAO, would have caused RAO to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with their reports, and (ii) there were no "reportable events" within the meaning of Item 304(a) (1)(v) of Regulation S-K. The Company has provided RAO with a copy of the disclosures contained in this Form 8-K and has requested that RAO furnish to the Company a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether RAO agrees with the statements contained herein and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. A copy of the letter from RAO concurring with the statements contained herein is attached as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K. (b) During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 and the subsequent interim period preceding such appointment, the Company did not consult with RAO regarding (i) either 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 Company's financial statements, or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement with RAO or a "reportable event" within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
