Creative Realities, Inc. Announces Change of Auditor

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Nov. 14, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- On November 6, 2019, Creative Realities, Inc. (the "Company", "Creative Realities") (NASDAQ: CREX, CREXW) engaged Deloitte & Touche LLP ("Deloitte", "Successor Auditor") as the Company's new independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company's financial statements commencing fiscal year 2020, subject to Deloitte's completion of its customary client acceptance procedures, which the Company expects to be completed shortly. Concurrent with the decision to engage Deloitte as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, the Company's Audit Committee and the Board of Directors dismissed EisnerAmper LLP ("Eisner", "Former Auditor") as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm in connection with auditing the Company's financial statements commencing fiscal year 2020. The Company has authorized Eisner to respond fully to the inquiries of the successor auditors.

"We are pleased to announce the engagement of Deloitte & Touche LLP, a reputable name in the marketplace with a strong practice in our local market, which will be an important part of the Creative Realities story in the next stage of our growth. We would like to thank EisnerAmper LLP for their expertise and guidance in working with the Company over the previous five years," said Rick Mills, Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

Will Logan, Chief Financial Officer of the Company added, "The Company's decision to change its auditor was not the result of any disagreement between the Company and EisnerAmper on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure. In exercising their fiduciary duties as directors of a Nasdaq-listed company, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company approved the change in the auditors, following a competitive request for proposal process with several independent registered public accounting firms. We are excited to work with Deloitte beginning in 2020."
