Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
We, Air Industries Group, previously filed a Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 28, 2022, that reported that our independent registered public accounting firm since 2008, Rotenberg Meril Solomon Bertiger & Guttilla, P.C., Certified Public Accountants (“Rotenberg”) combined with Marcum LLP. We further reported that we had engaged Marcum LLP to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ended December 31, 2022, and that Rotenberg, which became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Marcum LLP, would serve as our independent registered public accounting firm at least through the filing of our Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending March 31, 2022.
Rotenberg’s transition into Marcum has progressed and Rotenberg has formally resigned as our independent registered public accounting firm and the services previously provided by Rotenberg will now be provided by Marcum LLP.
Rotenberg’s report on our financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor was it qualified or modified as to audit scope or accounting principles.
During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 and the subsequent interim period through the quarter ended March 31, 2022 (i) we did not have any disagreements with Rotenberg on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to Rotenberg’s satisfaction, would have caused them to make reference thereto in their reports on the Company’s financial statements for such periods, and (ii) there were no reportable events, as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The decision to transition from Rotenberg to Marcum LLP was approved by our Audit Committee.
Prior to the filing of this Report, copies were provided to Rotenberg and Marcum LLP.
