Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant

 

(a) Replacement of Previous Independent Registered Accounting Firm

 

On February 9, 2020, the Board of Directors of ScoutCam Inc. (the “Company”) approved the replacement of MaloneBailey LLP (“MaloneBailey”) as its independent registered public accounting firm, effective as of February 9, 2020. MaloneBailey had served as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm since 2013.

 

The audit reports prepared by MaloneBailey on the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended 2018 and 2017, each contained a statement expressing substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and MaloneBailey previously informed the Company’s Board of Directors of certain material weaknesses in the Company’s disclosure control and procedures during each of the fiscal years ended 2018 and 2017, and each of the subsequent periods through the date hereof, and pursuant to which the Company determined such disclosure control and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2019; that notwithstanding, there were no disagreements with MaloneBailey on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreement, if not resolved to the satisfaction of MaloneBailey, would have caused MaloneBailey to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports. None of the reportable events described under Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K occurred within the Company’s two most recent fiscal years.

 

The Company delivered a copy of this Item 4.01 to MaloneBailey on February 11, 2020 and requested a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the statements made in response to this Item and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. MaloneBailey responded with a letter dated February 11, 2020, a copy of which is annexed hereto as Exhibit 16.1 stating that MaloneBailey agrees with the statements set forth above.

 

(b) Appointment of New Independent Registered Accounting Firm

 

On February 9, 2020, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized the appointment of Kesselman & Kesselman, a member of PricwaterhouseCoopers International Limited (“PwC Israel”) as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019, and PwC Israel was appointed as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, neither the Company, nor anyone on its behalf, consulted PwC Israel regarding either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific transaction, either completed or proposed; or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements, and no written report or oral advice was provided to us that PwC Israel concluded was an important factor considered by us in reaching our decision as to an accounting, auditing, or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in paragraph 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) or a reportable event (as described in paragraph 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).

 

PwC Israel serves as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company’s controlling stockholder, Medigus Ltd., an Israeli company. The Company is of the position that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to align the independent registered public accounting firm of both the Company and its controlling stockholder in order to ensure greater efficiency and proficiency in all matters pertinent to the Company’s financial auditing.
