Explanatory
Note
On October
19, 2023, LIFELOC TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (the “Company”) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Original 8-K”)
to report the change of the Company’s certifying accountant. The Original 8-K was erroneously filed based on a template that contained
disclosure that is not applicable to the Company and therefore inadvertently mischaracterized the circumstances surrounding the departure
of the Company’s previous certifying accountant. This Amendment to the Original 8-K is being filed solely to (a) provide the correct
disclosure under Item 4.01 of Form 8-K, which replaces and supersedes the disclosure in the Original 8-K in its entirety, and (b) furnish
an updated version of the letter from the Company’s previous auditor to demonstrate the previous auditor’s agreement with
the amended disclosure.
| Item 4.01 | Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant. |
Resignation of Registrant’s
Certifying Accountant
On October 2, 2023, the Company was
informed that Gries & Associates, LLC (“Gries”) had sold its business to GreenGrowth CPAs (“GreenGrowth”)
and was therefore resigning.
The reports of Gries regarding the
Company’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, being the two most recent fiscal years for
which the Company has filed audited financial statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), did not
contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
The audit committee of the Company
approved the decision to change independent accountants.
During the fiscal years ended December
31, 2022 and 2021, and during the period from January 1, 2023 through October 16, 2023 (the “Interim Period”), there were
no disagreements (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K) between
the Company and Gries on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedures,
which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Gries, would have caused Gries to make reference thereto in connection with
its report.
During the fiscal years ended December
31, 2022 and 2021, and during the Interim Period, the Company did not experience any reportable events (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v)
of Regulation S-K).
The Company requested Gries to furnish
it with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not Gries agrees with the above statements and, if it does not agree, the respects
in which it does not agree. A copy of the letter, dated October 20, 2023, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this current report on Form 8-K.
Appointment of New Certifying Accountant
On October 17, 2023, the Company engaged
and executed an agreement with GreenGrowth, effective immediately, as the Company’s new independent accountant to replace Gries.
During the Company’s fiscal
years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, and during the Interim Period, neither the Company nor anyone on the Company’s behalf consulted
with GreenGrowth regarding any of the following:
| (i) | either 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, and neither
a written report nor oral advice was provided to the Company that GreenGrowth concluded was an important factor considered by the Company
in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or |
| (ii) | any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in
Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K) or a reportable event (as defined in
Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K). |
