Item 4.01 Changes in Registrants Certifying Accountant.
 
(a) Release of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
On April 15, 2024, the board of directors (the “Board”) of Progressive Care Inc. (the “Company”) resolved to dismiss CohnReznick LLP (“CohnReznick”) as the Company’s independent registered public accountant. We informed CohnReznick of this determination on April 17, 2024, which was effective April 17, 2024.
 
CohnReznick was engaged by us on April 21, 2023. Since their engagement on April 21, 2023 and through the date of this form 8-K, CohnReznick has neither provided any adverse opinion or qualifications on our financial statements nor had a disagreement with the Company on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements that, if not resolved to CohnReznick’s satisfaction, would have caused CohnReznick to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with the audit of the Company’s financial statements.
 
None of the reportable events described under Item 304(a)(1)(v)(A)-(D) of Regulation S-K occurred during the period of the engagement of CohnReznick up to April 17, 2024, except that CohnReznick advised the Company of a material weakness in internal controls over the financial reporting related to a change in the deferred tax valuation allowance and other complex non-routine transactions as of December 31, 2023, as disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 11, 2024.
 
We have provided CohnReznick with a copy of this report prior to its filing with the SEC and requested that CohnReznick furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not CohnReznick agrees with the above statements. A copy of the letter from CohnReznick dated April 19, 2024, is attached hereto as Exhibit 16.1.
 
(b) New independent registered public accounting firm
 
We have engaged RBSM LLP (“RBSM”) as our independent registered public accounting firm, effective April 19, 2024. The decision to engage RBSM as our independent registered public accounting firm was approved by the Board. RBSM is the independent registered public accounting firm of our parent company NextPlat Corp (“NXPL”).
 
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and 2023, and through the date of this report, we have not consulted with RBSM regarding any of the following:
 
 
1.
the application of accounting principles to any specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements;
 
2.
the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements by RBSM, in either case where written or oral advice provided by RBSM would be an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issues; or
 
3.
any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in paragraph (a)(1)(iv) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K and the related instructions thereto) or a reportable event (as described in paragraph (a)(1)(v) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K).
