Item 4. Changes in Issuer's Certifying Accountant

a) Dismissal of Independent Accounting Firm

On July 3, 2024, Cloudastructure, Inc. ("Cloudastructure", the "Company", "we", "us", or "our") dismissed IndigoSpire CPA Group ("IndigoSpire") as the Company's independent registered accounting firm. The decision to dismiss IndigoSpire was approved by the Company's board of directors.

IndigoSpire's audit reports on the Company's financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to any uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle.

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and through the date of dismissal, (i) there were no disagreements (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) between the Company and IndigoSpire on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to IndigoSpire's satisfaction, would have caused IndigoSpire to make reference to the matter in their report, and (ii) there were no reportable events (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).

The Company has provided IndigoSpire with a copy of this Current Report on Form 1-U and requested that it provide the Company with a letter addressed to the SEC indicating whether or not IndigoSpire agrees with the disclosures contained herein and, if not, the respects in which it is not in agreement. A copy of IndigoSpire's letter, dated July 5, 2024, is filed as Exhibit 9.1 to this Current Report on Form 1-U.

b) Appointment of Independent Accounting Firm

On July 3, 2024, the Company appointed Bush & Associates CPA LLC ("Bush & Associates") as the Company's new independent accounting firm. During the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 and through the date of such appointment, neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf has consulted with Bush & Associates regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, (ii) the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company's financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to the Company that Bush & Associates concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing, or financial reporting issue or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a "disagreement" or "reportable event" (as each term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) and (v) of Regulation S-K, respectively).

On June 29, 2024, Rick Bentley resigned as the Company's Chief Executive Officer, and also resigned from the Company's board of directors.
