What the bad jobs report means for markets
CalciMedica, Inc. (NASDAQ:CALC), a pharmaceutical company based in La Jolla, California with a market capitalization of $23.5 million, announced a change in its independent registered public accounting firm following a merger. According to InvestingPro data, the company maintains a WEAK financial health score, though it holds more cash than debt on its balance sheet. On Tuesday, the company was informed that its previous accounting firm, Moss Adams LLP, merged with Baker Tilly US, LLP. As a result, Moss Adams resigned, and Baker Tilly has been appointed as CalciMedica’s new auditor, effective immediately.
The decision to appoint Baker Tilly was approved by CalciMedica’s Board of Directors’ Audit Committee. The audit report from Moss Adams for the year ending December 31, 2024, was issued without any adverse opinions or modifications. The company stated that there were no disagreements with Moss Adams regarding accounting practices or financial disclosures during the years 2023 and 2024, nor in the interim period leading up to the merger. The company maintains strong liquidity with a current ratio of 5.66, indicating sufficient assets to cover short-term obligations.
CalciMedica confirmed that neither the company nor its representatives consulted with Baker Tilly on accounting principles or auditing matters before the merger. The company has provided Moss Adams with a copy of the SEC filing and requested a letter confirming agreement with the statements made in the filing. This letter from Moss Adams, dated June 3, 2025, is included as an exhibit in the filing.
This information is based on a press release statement and is part of the company’s SEC Form 8-K filing, which outlines changes in its certifying accountant and related disclosures.
