Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant

Dismissal of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

On June 9, 2023, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Unico American Corporation (the “Company”) approved the dismissal of Marcum LLP (“Marcum”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, which dismissal became effective June 16, 2023.

Marcum’s auditors’ report on the Company’s consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021, did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor was it qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, except that the auditors’ report contained an explanatory paragraph regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

In addition, since Marcum’s engagement on June 16, 2021, there were no disagreements with Marcum 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 Marcum, would have caused Marcum to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports on the Company’s financial statements for such periods.

Since Marcum’s engagement on June 16, 2021, and the subsequent interim periods through June 16, 2023, there were no events otherwise reportable under Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K other than the following:

The Company provided Marcum with a copy of this Current Report on Form 8-K prior to its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and requested Marcum furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether it agrees with the statements made by the Company above, and if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. A copy of Marcum’s letter, dated June 28, 2023.
