<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:justify;">Effective October 1, 2018, EKS&amp;H LLLP (&ldquo;EKS&amp;H&rdquo;), the independent registered public accounting firm for Mesa Laboratories, Inc. (the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;), combined with Plante &amp; Moran PLLC (&ldquo;Plante Moran&rdquo;). As a result of this transaction, on October 1, 2018, EKS&amp;H resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Company. Concurrent with such resignation, the Company&rsquo;s audit committee approved the engagement of Plante Moran as the new independent registered public accounting firm for the Company.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:justify;">During the two most recent fiscal years ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 and through the subsequent interim period preceding EKS&amp;H&rsquo;s resignation, there were no disagreements between the Company and EKS&amp;H 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 EKS&amp;H would have caused them to make reference thereto in their reports on the Company&rsquo;s consolidated financial statements for such years.</p>

ITEM 4.01 CHANGE IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT
Effective October 1, 2018, EKS&H LLLP ("EKS&H"), the independent registered public accounting firm for Mesa Laboratories, Inc. (the "Company"), combined with Plante & Moran PLLC ("Plante Moran"). As a result of this transaction, on October 1, 2018, EKS&H resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Company. Concurrent with such resignation, the Company's audit committee approved the engagement of Plante Moran as the new independent registered public accounting firm for the Company.
The audit reports of EKS&H on the Company's consolidated financial statements for the years ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 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.
During the two most recent fiscal years ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 and through the subsequent interim period preceding EKS&H's resignation, there were no disagreements between the Company and EKS&H 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 EKS&H would have caused them to make reference thereto in their reports on the Company's consolidated financial statements for such years.
During the two most recent fiscal years ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 and through the subsequent interim period preceding EKS&H's resignation, there were no reportable events within the meaning set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
During the two most recent fiscal years ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 and through the subsequent interim period preceding Plante Moran's engagement, the Company did not consult with Plante Moran on either (1) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed; or the type of audit opinion that may be rendered on the Company's consolidated financial statements, and Plante Moran did not provide either a written report or oral advice to the Company that Plante Moran concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (2) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement, as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K, or a reportable event, as defined in Item
304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The Company has provided EKS&H a copy of the disclosures in this Form 8-K and has requested that EKS&H furnish it 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 the letter dated October 1, 2018 is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.
