Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
On February 16, 2022, the Audit Committee (the “Audit Committee”)
of the Board of Directors of EACO Corporation (the “Company”) approved the engagement of Haskell & White LLP (“Haskell”)
to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the Company’s fiscal year ended August 31, 2021,
effective as of February 17, 2022. Also on February 16, 2022, the Audit Committee dismissed Baker Tilly US, LLP (“Baker Tilly”)
as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, effective as of February 17, 2022.
The report of Baker Tilly on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements as of and for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2020 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was
not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle. As previously disclosed by the Company, the Company
has not filed the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2021. Baker Tilly did not issue a report on the Company’s
consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2021.
During the two fiscal years ended August 31, 2021, and the subsequent
interim period through February 17, 2022, there were no disagreements as described under Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K with Baker
Tilly on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements,
if not resolved to Baker Tilly’s satisfaction, would have caused Baker Tilly to make reference to the subject matter thereof in
connection with its reports on the financial statements of the Company for such years. In addition, during the two fiscal years ended
August 31, 2021 and the subsequent interim period through February 17, 2022, there were no reportable events as described under Item 304(a)(1)(v)
of Regulation S-K except the following events. As disclosed in Part I, Item 4 of the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarters ended
November 30, 2020 and May 31, 2021, the Company’s management determined that the Company’s internal controls over financial
reporting were not effective as of the end of each respective period due to the following material weakness: the Company did not maintain
effective controls over the financial statement closing process, including manual journal entries recorded in the preparation of the financial
statements related to lease accounts, and certain inventory and accrued liability accounts. The Company’s controls do not include
multiple required levels of review and approval for manual journal entries. This deficiency did not result in a material revision of any
of the Company’s previously issued financial statements. However, if not addressed, the deficiency could result in material misstatement
in the future. Accordingly, the management of the Company has determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness.
Baker Tilly also advised management of the need to significantly expand the scope of our audit to include additional analysis and testing
of key reports generated by the Company’s IT system. Baker Tilly had not completed its expanded procedures prior to its dismissal.
The Company has provided Baker Tilly with a copy of this Current Report
on Form 8-K and requested that Baker Tilly furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether
or not it agrees with the above statements. A copy of Baker Tilly’s letter, dated February 23, 2022, is attached hereto as Exhibit
16.1.
During the two most recent fiscal years, and in the subsequent interim
periods through February 17, 2022, neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf has consulted with Haskell regarding either (i)
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 either a written report was provided to the Company or oral advice was provided
that Haskell concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial
reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of 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 described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
