Item 4.01. Changes in the Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
On May 1, 2025, FRP Holdings, Inc (the “Company”) was notified that the audit practice of Hancock Askew & Co., LLP (“Hancock Askew & Co.”) an independent registered public accounting firm, was combined with Baker Tilly US, LLP (“Baker Tilly”) in a transaction pursuant to which Hancock Askew & Co. combined its operations with Baker Tilly and certain of the professional staff and partners of Hancock Askew & Co. joined Baker Tilly either as employees or principals of Baker Tilly. On May 1, 2025, Hancock Askew & Co. resigned as the auditors of the Company and with the approval of the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, Baker Tilly was engaged as its independent registered public accounting firm.
Prior to engaging Baker Tilly, the Company did not consult with Baker Tilly regarding the application of accounting principles to a specific completed or contemplated transaction or regarding the type of audit opinions that might be rendered by Baker Tilly on the Company’s financial statements, and Baker Tilly did not provide any written or oral advice that was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any such accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue.
The report of independent registered public accounting firm of Hancock Askew & Co. regarding the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 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 years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, and during the interim period from the end of the most recently completed fiscal year through May 1, 2025, the date of resignation, there were no disagreements with Hancock Askew & Co. on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Hancock Askew & Co. would have caused it to make reference to such disagreement in its reports.
The Company provided Hancock Askew & Co. with a copy of this Current Report on Form 8-K prior to its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission and requested that Hancock Askew & Co. furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with above statements and, if it does not agree, the respects in which it does not agree. A copy of the letter, dated May 5, 2025, is filed as Exhibit 1 (which is incorporated by reference herein) to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
