Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant

On November 1, 2024, CBIZ CPAs P.C. acquired the attest business of Marcum LLP (“Marcum”) which was engaged as the independent registered public accounting firm of CVD Equipment Corporation (the “Company”). As a result of this transaction, on April 25, 2025, Marcum resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company, and with the approval of the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, CBIZ CPAs P.C. was engaged as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm.

The reports of Marcum 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 fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, and through April 25, 2025, the date of Marcum’s resignation, there were (a) no disagreements (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) with Marcum 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 Marcum, would have caused Marcum to make reference to such disagreement in its report and (b) no “reportable events” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions).

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, and through April 25, 2025, neither the Company nor anyone on the Company’s behalf consulted with CBIZ CPAs P.C. regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific completed or contemplated transaction or regarding the type of audit opinions that might be rendered by CBIZ CPAs P.C. on the Company’s financial statements, and CBIZ CPAs P.C. 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 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), as that term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K, or a reportable event, as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

The Company provided Marcum with a copy of this Current Report on Form 8-K prior to its filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and requested that Marcum furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the SEC, pursuant to Item 304(a)(3) of Regulation S-K, 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 the letter, dated April 25, 2025, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 (which is incorporated by reference herein) to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
