Item 4.01. Changes in Registrants Certifying Accountant.
(a) Dismissal of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
On November 22, 2021, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of VirTra, Inc. (the Company) terminated the engagement of MaloneBailey, LLP (MaloneBailey) as the Companys independent registered public accounting firm, effective immediately.
Malone Baileys reports on the Companys financial statements for the past two fiscal years 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 Companys two most recent fiscal years and through November 22, 2021, there were no disagreements with MaloneBailey 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 MaloneBailey, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports on the Companys financial statements for such periods.
During MaloneBaileys engagement, the Company disclosed the ineffectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting due to the following material weaknesses which it identified in its internal control over financial reporting: (i) the lack of multiple levels of management review on complex business, accounting and financial reporting issues, and (ii) the failure to implement adequate system and manual controls.
The Company provided MaloneBailey with a copy of the foregoing disclosure prior to its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) and requested that MaloneBailey furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Commission stating whether or not MaloneBailey agrees with the above statements and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. Attached, as Exhibit 16.1 hereto, is a copy of MaloneBaileys letter to the Commission.
(b) Engagement of New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
On November 22, 2021, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors appointed Eide Bailly LLP (Eide Bailly) as the Companys new independent registered accounting firm. During the Companys two most recent fiscal years and through November 22, 2021, neither the Company nor anyone acting on the Companys behalf consulted Eide Bailly with respect to any of the matters or reportable events set forth in Item 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.
