Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant

(a) Dismissal of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

On May 10, 2024, Truleum, Inc. (the “Company”) dismissed BF Borgers CPA PC (“BF Borgers”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. The Company anticipates engaging a new independent registered public accounting firm quickly, and not yet engaged a new independent registered public accounting firm. The decision to change independent registered public accounting firms was made with the recommendation and approval of the Board of Directors of the Company.

The reports of BF Borgers on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles other than an explanatory paragraph relating to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, and through the date of termination, May 10, 2024, there were no “disagreements” with BF Borgers 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 BF Borgers would have caused BF Borgers to make reference thereto in its reports on the consolidated financial statement for such years. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, and through May 10, 2024, there have been no “reportable events” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) and Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Registration S-K).

BF Borgers is not currently permitted to appear or practice before the Commission as noted in: Staff Statement on Issuer Disclosure and Reporting Obligations in Light of Rule 102(e) Order against BF Borgers CPA PC, which was disseminated by the SEC on May 3, 2024.
