Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

 

On October 4, 2018, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Audit Committee”) of Non-Invasive Monitoring Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) approved the engagement of EisnerAmper LLP (“EisnerAmper”) as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2018. In connection with the selection of EisnerAmper, the Audit Committee dismissed Morrison, Brown Argiz & Farra, LLC (“MBAF”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm on October 4, 2018.

 

The audit reports of MBAF on the Company’s financial statements for the years ended July 31, 2017 and 2016 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, the audit report of MBAF on the Company’s financial statements for the years ended July 31, 2017 and 2016 contained an explanatory paragraph indicating that there was substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

 

During the two most recent fiscal years ended July 31, 2017 and 2016 and through the subsequent interim periods through October 4, 2018, there were no disagreements between the Company and MBAF on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of MBAF would have caused them to make reference thereto in their reports on the Company’s financial statements for such years.

 

During the two most recent fiscal years ended July 31, 2017 and 2016 and through the subsequent interim periods through October 4, 2018, there were no reportable events within the meaning set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

 

During the two most recent fiscal years ended July 31, 2017 and 2016 and through the subsequent interim periods preceding EisnerAmper’s engagement, the Company did not consult with EisnerAmper on either (1) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed; or the type of audit opinion that may be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and EisnerAmper did not provide either a written report or oral advise to the Company that EisnerAmper concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (2) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement, as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K, or a reportable event, as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

 

The Company has provided MBAF a copy of the disclosures in this Form 8-K and has requested that MBAF furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the Company’s statements herein. A copy of the letter dated October 4, 2018 is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.
