Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

On September 30, 2024, Morison Cogen LLP (“Morison”), the independent registered public accounting firm of ProPhase Labs, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), decided to exit the PCAOB audit business. Based on this decision, the firm circulated a letter to the Audit Committee (the “Audit Committee”) of the Board of Directors of the Company notifying them of such. The firm has therefore resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company, effective as of September 30, 2024.

The Company is in the final stages of engaging a new independent registered public accounting firm to replace Morison and expects to announce the engagement in the near future.

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the subsequent interim periods through June 30, 2024, there were no reportable events (as that term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K), except for (i) the adverse opinion on internal control over financial reporting in Morison’s Report in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (the “Form 10-K”) and (ii) the material weaknesses due to the Company’s lack of effective internal controls over financial reporting as disclosed in “Part II, Item 9A. Controls and Procedures” of the Form 10-K and “Part I, Item 4. Controls and Procedures” of the Company’s subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024.

During the Company’s fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, and through the date of Morison’s resignation, there were no disagreements (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and related instructions) between the Company and Morison 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 Morison would have caused Morison to make reference thereto in their report on the financial statements for such year.

The Company provided Morison with a copy of the disclosures it is making in this Current Report on Form 8-K in accordance with Item 304(a) of Regulation S-K and requested that Morison furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the statements contained herein. A copy of Morison’s letter, dated October 4, 2024 is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits.

(d) The following exhibits are being filed herewith:

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Company has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
