Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
(a) Resignation of Independent registered Public Accounting Firm
On April 26, 2021, Baker Tilly US, LLP ("Baker Tilly") resigned as the
independent registered public accounting firm of Unique Logistics International,
Inc. (the "Company").
From October 9, 2020 through the date of resignation, there were no
disagreements with Baker Tilly 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 Baker Tilly, would have
caused Baker Tilly to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement
in connection with its reports. From October 9, 2020 through the date of
resignation there were no reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of
Regulation S-K except for the identified material weaknesses in its internal
control over financial reporting as disclosed in the Company's Quarterly Reports
on Form 10-Q for the periods ended November 30, 2020 and February 28, 2021.
The Company has provided Baker Tilly a copy of the disclosures in this Form 8-K
and has requested that Baker Tilly furnish the Company with a letter addressed
to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with
the Company's statements herein. A copy of such letter, which is dated April 30,
2021, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.
(b) New Independent registered Public Accounting Firm
Effective April 28, 2021, the Company engaged Marcum LLP ("Marcum") as the
Company's new independent registered public accounting firm. The decision to
engage Marcum was approved by the Company's Board of Directors.
From October 9, 2020, and the subsequent interim period prior to the engagement
of Marcum, the Company has not consulted Marcum regarding (i) the application of
accounting principles to any specified transaction, either completed or
proposed; (ii) the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company's
financial statements, and either a written report was provided to the registrant
or oral advice was provided that the new accountant concluded was an important
factor considered by the registrant in reaching a decision as to the accounting,
auditing or financial reporting issue; or (iii) any matter that was either the
subject of a disagreement (as defined in Item 304(o)(1)(iv)) or a reportable
event (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v)).
