Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

 

On January 1, 2021 (the “Effective Date”), the audit practice of Hall & Company Certified Public Accountants and Consultants, Inc. (“Hall”), an independent registered public accounting firm, was combined with Macias Gini & O’Connell (“MGO”) in a transaction pursuant to which Hall combined its operations with MGO, and certain members of Hall joined MGO either as employees or partners of MGO. On January 8, 2021, Hall resigned as auditors of Pineapple, Inc. (the “Company”), and with the approval of the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, MGO was engaged as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.

 

During the two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 and any subsequent interim period through the Effective Date, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf consulted with MGO regarding: (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed; (ii) the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on its financial statements by MGO, and neither a written report or oral advice was provided to the Company by MGO that MGO concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issues; or (iii) any other matter that was the subject of a “disagreement” or “reportable event” (as such terms are described in Items 304(a)(1)(iv) and (v), respectively, of Regulation S-K) between the Company and its former independent registered public accounting firm, Hall.

 

Hall did not issue a report on the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 as the audit process for such years is still ongoing and will now continue with MGO. The Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm of Hall regarding the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except that such audit report contained an explanatory paragraph in respect to uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 and any subsequent interim period through the Effective Date, there were (i) no disagreements (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K) with Hall 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 Hall, would have caused Hall to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in their reports on the Company’s financial statements, and (ii) no reportable events (as described in paragraphs (a)(1)(v) (A) through (D) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K).The Company provided Hall 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 Hall furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the SEC 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 such letter, dated January 8th, 2021, stating Hall agrees is filed as Exhibit 16.1 (which is incorporated by reference herein) to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
