4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant
On
April 30, 2026, the Board of Directors of Milestone Scientific Inc. (the “Company”) approved the dismissal of
CBIZ CPAs P.C. (“CBIZ CPAs”) as the independent registered public accounting firm to the Company effective as of May 15,
2026. The Company engaged Grassi & Co., CPAs, P.C. to be the independent registered public accounting firm to the Company for
the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026. The approval of the dismissal of CBIZ CPAs was approved by the Audit Committee of the
Company’s Board of Directors. CBIZ CPAs became the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm in April 2025
in connection with its acquisition of the attest business of Marcum LLP, the Company’s then independent registered public accounting
firm. CBIZ CPAs did not audit the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Termination
of CBIZ CPAs
The
report of CBIZ CPAs on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025 and the related consolidated statement
of operations, consolidated statement of changes in stockholders’ equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year
then ended, did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit
scope or accounting principles, except that the report of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 2025 contained an explanatory paragraph which noted that there was substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to
continue as a going concern.
During
the Company’s most recent fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, and the subsequent interim period through April 30,
2026, there were no disagreements between the Company and CBIZ CPAs 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 CBIZ CPAs, would have caused
it to make a reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports on the Company’s financial statements
for such periods. In addition, during the Company’s most recent fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, and the subsequent interim
period through April 30, 2026, there were no “reportable events,” as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The
Company has provided CBIZ CPAs with a copy of this disclosure and requested that CBIZ CPAs furnish the Company with a letter addressed
to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees or disagrees with the statements by the Company in this Current Report
on Form 8-K.
A
copy of the letter from CBIZ CPAs is attached hereto as Exhibit 16.1
Engagement
of Grassi & Co., CPAs, P.C.
On
April 30, 2026, the Company entered into an engagement agreement with Grassi & Co. Certified Public Accountants, PC
(“Grassi”), as its new independent registered public accounting firm effective May 15, 2026. The engagement of Grassi
was approved by the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors.
During
the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 and through April 30, 2026, neither the Company nor anyone acting
on its behalf consulted with Grassi regarding either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific transaction, either completed
or proposed; or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and no written report was
provided to the Company or oral advice was provided that Grassi concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching
a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was the subject of either a disagreement
(as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K) or a reportable event (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
