Item 4.01.
Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant

(a)  Dismissal of Previous Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
On March 27, 2024, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”) of Tandy Leather Factory, Inc. (the “Company”) dismissed Weaver & Tidwell LLP (“Weaver”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm effective as of that date.  The Company had not yet engaged Weaver to perform audit services for fiscal 2024.  Weaver’s audit reports on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the Company’s fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.
 
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were (i) no disagreements within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K between the Company and Weaver on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to Weaver’s satisfaction, would have caused Weaver to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for such years, and (ii) no “reportable events” within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
 
The Company has provided Weaver with a copy of the disclosures contained herein and has requested that Weaver furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether it agrees with the statements made herein and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree.  A copy of Weaver’s letter, dated March 28, 2024, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 herewith.
 
(b) Appointment of New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
On March 29, 2024, the Company, with the approval of the Committee, engaged Whitley Penn (“WP”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the Company’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2024.  Prior to this engagement, WP had not performed any previous audit or non-audit services for the Company.
