Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
On November 1, 2019, the partners and professional staff of Peterson Sullivan
LLP ("PS"), which was engaged as the independent registered public accounting
firm of the registrant, Mymetics Corporation (the "Company"), joined BDO USA,
LLP ("BDO"). As a result of this transaction, PS resigned as the Company's
independent registered public accounting firm on January 7, 2020. On January 7,
2020, following the resignation of PS, the Company, through and with the
approval of its Audit Committee, appointed BDO as its independent registered
public accounting firm.
PS's reports on the Company's financial statements as of and for the fiscal
years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, contained an explanatory paragraph that
raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern. Other than the going concern matter, the reports of PS on the financial
statements of the Company for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017,
did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not
qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
During the Company's fiscal years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, and through
January 7, 2020, there were no disagreements between the Company and PS on any
matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or
auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the
satisfaction of PS, would have caused PS to make reference to the subject matter
of the disagreements in connection with its audit reports on the Company's
financial statements. During the Company's past fiscal years ended December 31,
2018 and 2017, and the interim period through September 30, 2019, PS did not
advise the Company of any of the matters specified in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of
Regulation S-K.
The Company provided PS with a copy of this report on Form 8-K in accordance
with Item 304(a) of Regulation S-K prior to its filing with the Securities and
Exchange Commission and requested that PS furnish the Company with a letter
addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees
with the above statements and, if it does not agree, the respects in which it
does not agree. A copy of the letter from PS is filed as Exhibit 16.1 hereto.
During the Company's two most recently completed fiscal years and through the
date of engagement of BDO, neither the Company nor anyone on behalf of the
Company consulted with BDO regarding (a) 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 financial statements as
to which the Company received a written report or oral advice that was an
important factor in reaching a decision on any accounting, auditing or financial
reporting issue; or (b) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement or a
reportable event as defined in Items 304(a)(1)(iv) and (v), respectively, of
Regulation S-K.
