ITEM 4.01                          CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT.

Dismissal of Anton & Chia, LLP
 
On December 10, 2015, the Board of Directors of Alpine 4 Technologies Ltd., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), terminated the engagement of Anton & Chia, LLP ("Anton"), as the Company's independent certifying accountant.  Other than an explanatory paragraph included in Anton's audit report for the Registrant's fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, relating to the uncertainty of the Registrant's ability to continue as a going concern, the audit report for fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor was it qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. As described below, the change in independent public accounting firms is not the result of any disagreement with Anton.

Anton was appointed by the Board of Directors to be the auditor from inception of the Company, and provided an initial audit report dated May 7, 2014.  There were no disagreements with Anton on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Anton, would have caused Anton to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with their report, and (2) there were no "reportable events" as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
 
Appointment of Malone Bailey LLP
  
On December 10, 2015, the Company's Board of Directors approved the engagement of Malone Bailey LLP, of Houston, Texas ("Malone Bailey"), as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm.
 
The Company has not consulted with Malone Bailey during its two most recent fiscal years or during any subsequent interim period prior to its appointment as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm with respect to the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on Registrant's consolidated financial statements, or any other matters or reportable events as defined in Items 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.
