Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

On November 1, 2020, Saleen Automotive, Inc. (the “Company”) was notified that the audit practice of Squar Milner LLP (“Squar Milner”), the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, had combined with Baker Tilly US, LLP (“Baker Tilly”) in a transaction pursuant to which certain of the professional staff and partners of Squar Milner joined Baker Tilly either as employees or partners of Baker Tilly. As a result of such combination, on November 1, 2020, Squar Milner has resigned as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, and with the approval of the Company’s Board of Directors, Baker Tilly was engaged as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.

During the Company’s most recent fiscal years, and through the subsequent interim period from the end of the most recently completed fiscal year through November 1, 2020, the date of resignation, there were no (i) disagreements with Squar Milner 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 Squar Milner would have caused it to make reference to such disagreement in its reports, or (ii) “reportable events” as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

The Company provided Squar Milner with a copy of this Current Report on Form 8-K prior to its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission and requested that Squar Milner furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with above statements and, if it does not agree, the respects in which it does not agree. A copy of the letter, dated November 1, 2020, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 (which is incorporated by reference herein) to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

During the Company’s most recent fiscal years, and through the subsequent interim period from the end of the most recently completed fiscal year through November 1, 2020, the Company did not consult with Baker Tilly regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed; or regarding the type of audit opinion that might be rendered by Baker Tilly on the Company’s financial statements, and Baker Tilly did not provide any written or oral advice that was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any such 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) or a reportable event (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
