Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant
Previous independent registered public accounting firm
On January 29, 2024, Victory Oilfield Tech, Inc. (the “Company”) notified Weaver and Tidwell L.L.P. (“Weaver”) of its dismissal. The dismissal has been approved by the Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors.
During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 and the subsequent interim period through the nine months ended September 30, 2023, preceding such dismissal of Weaver, there were no disagreements, within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Regulation S-K”) and the related instructions thereto, with Weaver 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 Weaver, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports. Also, during this same period, there were no reportable events within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions thereto.
The Company has provided Weaver with the disclosures under this Item 4.01(a) and has requested Weaver to furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the statements made by the Company in this Item 4.01(a) and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. A copy of Weaver’s letter is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

On January 26, 2024 (the “Engagement Date”), the Company engaged Accell Audit and Compliance, P.A. (“Accell”) as its independent registered public accounting firm for the Company’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2023. The engagement of Accell has been approved by the Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors.
During the two most recent fiscal years and through the Engagement Date, the Company has not consulted with Accell regarding either:
| 1. | | the application of accounting principles to any 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 was provided to the Company nor oral advice was provided that Accell concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or |
| 2. | | any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in paragraph (a)(1)(iv) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K and the related instructions thereto) or a reportable event (as described in paragraph (a)(1)(v) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K). |
