Item 4.01. Changes in the Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of FRP Holdings, Inc. recently conducted a competitive selection process to determine the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026. The Audit Committee invited several of the largest U.S. public accounting firms to participate in this process, including Baker Tilly US, LLP ("Baker Tilly"), the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. As a result of this process, on May 12, 2026, the Audit Committee approved and the Board ratified the appointment of Forvis Mazars, LLP ("Forvis Mazars") as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026. In light of the appointment of Forvis Mazars, Baker Tilly was dismissed as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, effective as of May 15, 2026.
Baker Tilly has served as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm since May 1, 2025. The audit report of Baker Tilly on the Company's consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 and during the interim period through May 15, 2026, there were (i) no disagreements within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K between the Company and Baker Tilly on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, and (ii) no "reportable events" within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The Company provided Baker Tilly with a copy of the disclosures it is making in this Current Report on Form 8-K and requested that Baker Tilly furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the statements made herein and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. A copy of such letter provided by Baker Tilly dated May 15, 2026, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
(b) Appointment of New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
On May 12, 2026, the Audit Committee approved and the Board ratified the engagement of Forvis Mazars as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026. During the Company's two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, and the subsequent interim period prior to engagement, the Company did not consult with Forvis Mazars 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, and neither a written report was provided to the Company nor oral advice was provided that Forvis Mazars concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (b) 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 defined in Items 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K). The Company engaged Forvis Mazars for income tax provision preparation services, valuation services, and technical accounting advisory services for the year ended December 31, 2025. These services were completed and related solely to financial statement periods audited by the predecessor auditor. Management assumed responsibility in connection with these services, including decision-making, supervision, and ongoing monitoring.
