Item 4.01. Change in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
On October 14, 2019, SingerLewak LLP (“SingerLewak”)
informed JanOne Inc. (the “Company”) that it resigned as the Company’s independent registered public accounting
firm. The audit report of SingerLewak on the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 29, 2018
and December 30, 2017 contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty,
audit scope, or accounting principles. During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years ended December 29, 2018 and December
30, 2017, and for the subsequent interim period through the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Form 8-K”),
the Company had no “disagreements” (as described in Item 304 (a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K) with SingerLewak on any
matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements,
if not resolved to the satisfaction of SingerLewak, would have caused it to make reference in connection with its opinion to the
subject matter of the disagreements. During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years ended December 29, 2018 and December
30, 2017, and for the subsequent interim period through the date of this Form 8-K, there was no “reportable event”
within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K other than the following material weaknesses (A) reported in the Company’s
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2018: (i) insufficient information technology general controls
(“ITGCs”) and segregation of duties. Several employees of the Company have been provided access to Company systems
when their duties do not appear to require access, or which results in a lack of segregation of duties. No authorization or lack
of sufficient approval was noted on some journal entry transactions; and (ii) inadequate control design or lack of sufficient controls
over significant accounting processes. Inventory and purchase controls are not sufficient. The financial close process needs additional
formal procedures and closing checklists and reconciliations. Revenue recognition controls regarding transactions with sales tax
elements need additional process checks and controls, and (B) reported in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for
the quarterly period ended June 29, 2019: (1) insufficient ITGC and segregation of duties. It was noted that people who were negotiating
a contract, were also involved in approving invoices without proper oversight. Additional controls and procedures are necessary
and are being implemented to have check and balance on significant transactions and governance with those charged with governance
authority; (2) inadequate control design or lack of sufficient controls over significant accounting processes. The cutoff and reconciliation
procedures were not effective with certain accrued and deferred expenses; (3) insufficient assessment of the impact of potentially
significant transactions; and (4) insufficient processes and procedures related to proper recordkeeping of agreements and contracts.
In addition, contract to invoice reconciliation was not effective with a certain transportation service provider.
The Company provided SingerLewak with a
copy of the disclosures it is making in this Form 8-K prior to its filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“SEC”) and requested that SingerLewak furnish a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not it agrees with the
statements made by the Company in response to Item 304(a) of Regulation S-K. A copy of that letter, dated October 18, 2019, is
filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this report.
On October 15, 2019, the Audit Committee
of the Board of Directors of the Company approved the engagement of, and the Company engaged, WSRP, LLC as the Company’s
new independent registered public accounting firm, effective immediately. During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years
ended December 29, 2018 and December 30, 2017 and for the subsequent interim period through the date of filing this Form 8-K, neither
the Company, nor anyone on behalf of the Company consulted with WSRP, LLC regarding either: (i) 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 described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation
S-K or a reportable event within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
