Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

On June 3, 2025, American Shared Hospital Services, (the "Company") was notified that Moss Adams LLP ("Moss Adams"), the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, merged with Baker Tilly US, LLP effective on June 3, 2025. The combined audit practices operate as Baker Tilly US, LLP (“Baker Tilly”). In connection with the notification of the merger, Moss Adams has resigned as the auditors of the Company and the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Audit Committee”) approved the appointment of Baker Tilly, as the successor to Moss Adams, as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.

The audit reports of Moss Adams on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the subsequent interim period through June 3, 2025, there were no (a) disagreements with Moss Adams on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to Moss Adams’ satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports on the Company’s financial statements, or (b) reportable events requiring disclosure pursuant to Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K, except for the material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as reported in Item 9A of Part II of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 related to the Company’s failure to maintain an effective control environment because it had an insufficient number of personnel and resources with experience to create the proper environment for effective internal control over financial reporting. The material weakness has not yet been remediated. The Audit Committee discussed with Moss Adams the reportable event described above, and the Company has authorized Moss Adams to respond fully to the inquiries of Baker Tilly concerning this reportable event.

During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the subsequent interim period through the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, neither the Company, nor anyone on its behalf, consulted with Baker Tilly regarding: (i) either 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; or (ii) 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 to that item, or a “reportable event,” as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

The Company provided Moss Adams with a copy of this Current Report on Form 8-K prior to its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) and requested that Moss Adams furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the 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 Moss Adams’ letter to the Commission, dated June 9, 2025, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
