Resignation of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
On April 29, 2025, in conjunction with its exit from providing audit services to publicly traded companies, Assurance Dimensions, LLC, also doing business as McNamara and Associates, LLC (“Assurance Dimensions”) resigned from its role as independent registered public accounting firm for Capstone Companies, Inc. (the “Company).
The reports of Assurance Dimensions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, and during the subsequent interim period through April 29, 2025, there were (1) no disagreements within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K, between the Company and Assurance Dimensions on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosures, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Assurance Dimensions, would have caused Assurance Dimensions to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports for such years and interim period, and (2) no reportable events of the type listed in paragraphs (A) through (D) of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The Company provided Assurance Dimensions with a copy of this Current Report on Form 8-K prior to its filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and requested that Assurance Dimensions furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not Assurance agrees with the above statements. The letter from Assurance is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 16.1.
Resignation of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
On April 29, 2025, the Company engaged Stephano Slack LLC (“Stephano Slack”) as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2025, June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2025.
During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, and during the subsequent interim period through April 29, 2025, neither the Company, nor anyone on its behalf, has consulted Stephano Slack with respect to (1) 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 consolidated financial statements, and neither a written report was provided to the Company nor oral advice was provided to the Company that Stephano Slack 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 and the related instructions) or a reportable event (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
