Item 4.01. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT’S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT

(a) Former independent registered public accounting firm

On April 30, 2019, SCWorx Corp. (the “Company” or “Registrant”) notified its independent registered public accounting firm, Friedman LLP (“Friedman”) that it was terminating the firm as the Company’s auditor for business reasons unrelated to the reviews or audited financials of the Company.   Friedman has audited the Company’s consolidated financial statements since the Company’s inception in 2016.

Friedman’s report on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2018 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor was such report qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle, except for an explanatory paragraph relating to a substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  During the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, and through April 30, 2019, there were no disagreements with Friedman on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to Friedman’s satisfaction, would have caused Friedman to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its report.

During the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, and through April 30, 2019, there were no “reportable events” as defined under Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K, except for material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting.

The Company provided Friedman with a copy of the disclosure contained in this Form 8-K and requested that it provide the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the contents of this disclosure.  A copy of that letter, dated May 1, 2019, is attached as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.

(b) New independent registered public accounting firm

On April 25, 2019, the Company appointed WithumSmith + Brown (“Withum”) as its new independent registered public accounting firm, effective immediately, for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019.  This appointment was authorized and approved by the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 and through April 30, 2019, the Company did not consult with Withum on any accounting matter for a specified transaction, completed or proposed, or consult with Withum for the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, where a written report or oral advice was provided that Withum concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue.  In addition, the Company did not consult with Withum on any “reportable events” as identified under Item 304(a)(2)(ii) of Regulation S-K.
