Item 4.01. Change in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

 

(a) On July 19, 2024, Generation Income Properties, Inc. (the “Company”) determined that MaloneBailey LLP (“MaloneBailey”) would no longer serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and would be dismissed effective as of July 19, 2024. The decision to change independent registered public accounting firms was approved by the Board of Directors and the Audit Committee of the Company on July 19, 2024.

 

During the Company’s fiscal years ended in December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the subsequent period through the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, there were no “disagreements” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K) between MaloneBailey and the Company 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 MaloneBailey, would have caused MaloneBailey to make reference thereto in its reports on the financial statements for such years. Also, there have been no “reportable events” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).

In accordance with Item 304(a)(3) of regulation S-K, the Company provided MaloneBailey a copy of the disclosures in this Form 8-K on July 23, 2024 and requested that MaloneBailey furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not MaloneBailey agrees with the Company’s statements in this Item 4.01(a). A copy of the letter furnished by MaloneBailey in response to that request is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this report.

 

(b) On July 19, 2024, the Board of the Company ratified the appointment of CohnReznick LLP (“CohnReznick”) as its new independent registered public accounting firm to audit and review the Company’s financial statements.

 

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the subsequent interim period through June 30, 2024, neither the Company, nor any party on behalf of the Company, consulted with CohnReznick with respect to either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of the audit opinion that might be rendered with respect to the Company’s consolidated financial statements, and no written report or oral advice was provided to the Company by CohnReznick that was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue, or (ii) any matter that was subject to any disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) or a reportable event (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).

 

 

Item 9.01(d)	Financial Statements and Exhibits.

 

Exhibit 16.1 Letter from MaloneBailey LLP to the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Exhibit 16.2 Letter from CohnReznick LLP to the Securities and Exchange Commission.
