Item 4.01 Change in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant. On June 14, 2023, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Capstone Companies, Inc (the “Company”) appointed Assurance Dimensions, Inc. (“Assurance Dimensions”) as Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023, subject to normal and customary client engagement procedures. On the same day, the Audit Committee dismissed D. Brooks and Associates, CPAs, P.A. (“D. Brooks”) as Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. The Company’s Board of Directors ratified the appointment of Assurance Dimensions as Company’s independent registered public accounting firm on June 15, 2023.
The reports of D. Brooks on Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 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.
During the fiscal years ended in December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the subsequent interim period from January 1, 2023 through June 14, 2023, there were: (i) no disagreements within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and related regulations between D. Brooks 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 D. Brooks’ satisfaction, would have caused D. Brooks to make reference to the subject matter of such disagreements in connection with its reports on our consolidated financial statements for such years; and (ii) no “reportable events” within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The Company provided D. Brooks with a copy of the disclosures that the Company is making in response to Item 4.01 on this Current Report on Form 8-K, and requested that D. Brooks furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the above statements. A copy of D. Brooks’ letter dated June 15, 2023 regarding the above disclosures is filed as Exhibit 16 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the subsequent interim period from January 1, 2023 through June 14, 2023, neither Company nor anyone on our behalf consulted with Assurance Dimensions regarding either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered with respect to Company’s consolidated financial statements, in any case where a written report or oral advice was provided to the Company by Assurance Dimensions that Assurance Dimensions concluded 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 the subject of a “disagreement” within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K or a “reportable event” within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
