Scientific Industries has also made changes to its external audit arrangements. The company appointed Carr, Riggs & Ingram, LLC (CRI) as its new independent registered public accounting firm. That appointment followed CRI’s acquisition of certain assets from the capital markets practice of Scientific Industries’ prior auditor, Berkowitz Pollack Brant Advisors + CPAs, LLP (BPB), effective January 1, 2026.
The Audit Committee of Scientific Industries’ Board of Directors dismissed BPB and approved CRI’s appointment on January 14, 2026. BPB had been listed as the company’s independent auditor from August 22, 2025, to December 31, 2025; during that interval BPB did not issue any reports on the company’s interim or annual consolidated financial statements. Company materials describe these actions as part of recent changes in the firm’s auditing processes.
The transaction by the chairman and the auditor transition are distinct developments disclosed by the company. The share purchase represents a relatively small, direct acquisition by an insider. The auditor change reflects a shift in the independent accounting firm responsible for registered public-company audit services following an asset transfer and a brief prior auditor engagement.
