Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant. |
(a) On February 15, 2024, CohnReznick LLP (“CohnReznick”), Nobility Homes, Inc.’s (the “Company”) independent registered public accounting firm, notified the Company’s Audit Committee of the Board of Directors that it was resigning, effective immediately. CohnReznick has served as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm since May 2023 when it acquired certain assets and people of Daszkal Bolton, LLP. Daszkal Bolton, LLP was the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm since August 2018 through May 2023. Since the date of CohnReznick’s appointment in May 2023 through the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, there were:
(1) No disagreements between the Company and CohnReznick on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of CohnReznick, would have caused CohnReznick to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in their reports on the Company’s financial statements for such years, except that the Company and CohnReznick disagreed as to the scope and nature of audit evidence required to substantiate the capitalization of material, labor and overhead costs in the Company’s finished goods inventory, which disagreement was the subject of a discussion between the Company’s Audit Committee and CohnReznick. The Company has authorized CohnReznick to respond fully to the inquiries of successor auditor Hancock Askew & CO, LLP concerning the subject matter of this disagreement.
(2) No reportable events within the meaning set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K, except that CohnReznick advised the Company of a material weakness in internal controls over the accuracy of the capitalization of costs in finished goods inventory caused by the lack of adequate manufacturing accounting system to handle the type of multi-component finished goods inventory of the Company.
The Company has provided CohnReznick a copy of the disclosures in this Form 8-K and has requested that CohnReznick furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not CohnReznick agrees with the Company’s statements in this Item 4.01(a). A copy of the letter furnished by CohnReznick in response to that request is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this report.
(b) On February 15, 2024, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company engaged the independent accounting firm Hancock Askew & CO, LLP to serve as its independent certified public accounting firm effective immediately. During the two most recent fiscal years and through the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf consulted with Hancock Askew & CO, LLP regarding any of the following:
| |
1. |
The application of accounting principles to a specific transaction, either completed or proposed; |
| |
2. |
The type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and none of the following was provided to the Company: (a) a written report, or (b) oral advice that Hancock Askew & CO, LLP concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to an accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or |
| |
3. |
Any matter that was subject of a disagreement, as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K; or a reportable event, as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K. |
