Item
4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying
Accountant.
On
November 1, 2019, the partners and professional staff of Peterson
Sullivan LLP (“PS”), which was engaged as the
independent registered public accounting firm of the registrant,
Mymetics Corporation (the "Company"), joined BDO USA, LLP ("BDO").
As a result of this transaction, PS resigned as the Company's
independent registered public accounting firm on January 7, 2020.
On January 7, 2020, following the resignation of PS, the Company,
through and with the approval of its Audit Committee, appointed BDO
as its independent registered public accounting firm.
PS’s reports
on the Company’s financial statements as of and for the
fiscal years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, contained an
explanatory paragraph that raises substantial doubt about the
Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Other than
the going concern matter, the reports of PS on the financial
statements of the Company for the fiscal years ended December 31,
2018 and 2017, did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of
opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit
scope or accounting principles.
During
the Company’s fiscal years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017,
and through January 7, 2020, there were no disagreements between
the Company and PS 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 PS, would have caused PS to make reference to the subject matter
of the disagreements in connection with its audit reports on the
Company’s financial statements. During the Company’s
past fiscal years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the interim
period through September 30, 2019, PS did not advise the Company of
any of the matters specified in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation
S-K.
The
Company provided PS with a copy of this report on Form 8-K in
accordance with Item 304(a) of Regulation S-K prior to its filing
with the Securities and Exchange Commission and requested that PS
furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and
Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the above
statements and, if it does not agree, the respects in which it does
not agree. A copy of the letter from PS is filed as Exhibit 16.1
hereto.
During
the Company’s two most recently completed fiscal years and
through the date of engagement of BDO, neither the Company nor
anyone on behalf of the Company consulted with BDO regarding (a)
the application of accounting principles to a specified
transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit
opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial
statements as to which the Company received a written report or
oral advice that was an important factor in reaching a decision on
any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (b) any
matter that was the subject of a disagreement or a reportable event
as defined in Items 304(a)(1)(iv) and (v), respectively, of
Regulation S-K.
Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.
