Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
On January 8, 2024 (the "Anticipated Engagement Date"), Silver Star Properties REIT, Inc. (the "Registrant" or the "Company") engaged WithumSmith+Brown, PC ("Withum") as its independent registered public accounting firm for the Company's fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, which was subject to completion of the firm's client acceptance procedures.
On January 15, 2024, Withum advised the Company that upon completion of the firm's client acceptance procedures, the firm's client acceptance committee determined it would not approve the engagement.
During the Company's two most recent fiscal years and subsequent interim periods beginning on the Anticipated Engagement Date, the Company has not consulted with Withum, and Withum has not advised the Company, regarding either:
(1) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to Withum's satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports; or
(2) any matter that was the subject of a reportable event (as described in paragraph (a)(1)(v) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K).
Furthermore, Withum has not issued a report on the financial statements for either of the past two years.
The Board of Directors is seeking a new independent registered public accounting firm and intends to engage such firm as soon as practicable.
The Company provided Withum with a copy of the foregoing disclosures prior to filing this Current Report on Form 8-K.
SIGNATURE
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Registrant has duly caused this Current Report on Form 8-K to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
