Item 4.01

Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant

 

(a) Dismissal of independent registered public accounting firm.

 

On May 20, 2024, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Audit Committee”) of Lifeloc Technologies, Inc., a Colorado corporation, (the "Company") approved, and the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") ratified, the dismissal of GreenGrowth CPAs (the “Former Auditor”) as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm.

 

The Former Auditor’s reports on the Company’ Company’s most recent fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. Furthermore, during the Company’s most recent fiscal year and through May 20, 2024, there were no "disagreements," as that term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Regulation S-K") with the Former Auditor on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the Former Auditor’s satisfaction, would have caused the Former Auditor to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports on the Company’s financial statements for such periods.

 

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 and through May 20, 2024, there were no “reportable events” as that term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

 

The Company provided the Former Auditor with a copy of the disclosures contained herein, prior to the Company's filing of this Current Report on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) and requested that the Former Auditor furnish the Company with a copy of a letter addressed to the Commission stating whether the Former Auditor agreed with the statements herein and, if not, stating the respects in which the Former Auditor does not agree. The Former Auditor’s letter to the Commission is attached hereto as Exhibit 16.1.

 

(b) Disclosures regarding the new independent auditor.

 

On May 20, 2024, the Audit Committee approved, and the Board ratified, the engagement of Assure CPA, LLC (the “New Auditor”) and appointed the New Auditor as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm as of May 22, 2024 to audit the Company’s financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2024. During the past two fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and 2023, and the subsequent interim period through May 22, 2024, neither the Company nor anyone on the Company’s behalf consulted with the New Auditor with respect to either (i)(a) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or (b) the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements, and no written report nor oral advice was provided to the Company that the New Auditor concluded was an important factor that the Company consider in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue, or (ii) any other matter that was the subject of a "disagreement" or a "reportable event" (each as defined above).
