  Item 4.01 Change in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

 

On June 9, 2022, Star Equity Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) received notice from BDO USA, LLP (“BDO”) of its resignation as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm effective immediately. The Company is currently in the final stages of the process of finding a successor independent registered public accounting firm and anticipates selecting a new independent registered public accounting firm within the next thirty days. The Company will provide information on the selection on Form 8-K once such successor is identified, as required by the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

BDO’s audit reports on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except BDO’s audit report contains an explanatory paragraph regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the subsequent interim periods through June 9, 2022, there were (i) no disagreements (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) between the Company and BDO on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to BDO’s satisfaction, would have caused BDO to make reference thereto in their reports on the financial statements for such years, and (ii) no “reportable events” within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K except that BDO advised the Company of the existence of a material weakness as of December 31, 2021, relating to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as the Company does not have a sufficient complement of accounting resources to address complex accounting matters across all operating entities and to allow timely completion of financial reporting and accounting activities, including sufficiently precise management review controls.

 

The Company provided BDO with a copy of the disclosures it is making in this Current Report on Form 8-K and requested that BDO furnish a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the statements made herein. A copy of BDO’s letter dated June 14, 2022, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 hereto.
