Item 4.01 Change in Registrants Certifying Accountant. Effective January 4, 2023, Moss Adams LLP (Moss Adams) resigned as the Independent Public Accounting Firm for MusclePharm Corporation (the Company). The Company had engaged Moss Adams in that capacity on July 14, 2021. During the year ended December 31, 2021, and the subsequent period through January 4, 2023, there were no disagreements with Moss Adams on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to their satisfaction, would have caused them to make reference in connection with their opinion to the subject matter of the disagreement, or (2) reportable events under Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K, except that the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the Form 10-K/A) reported deficiencies in the design and operation of its internal controls in the financial processes related to the accounting for cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, inventory, accrued liabilities, income taxes, debt, equity, revenue from contracts with customers, costs of sales, stock-based compensation, and expenses classification. In addition, the Company has also had insufficient controls over the financial close and reporting process, including account reconciliations and preparation and review of financial statements and related disclosures. Significant employee turnover and lack of technical expertise in the accounting function, led to a lack of documentation and inconsistent practices in the implementation and execution of internal controls, including those at the entity level, information technology general controls, segregation of duties controls, and business process controls. The report of Moss Adams dated April 15, 2022, on the Companys financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021, contained within the Form 10-K/A was modified to include an explanatory paragraph relating to a going concern uncertainty. On August 22, 2022, the Board of Directors of MusclePharm Corporation (the Company), in consultation with management, determined that the Companys previously issued financial statements, included in the Form 10-K/A, and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, should no longer be relied upon due to errors in such financial statements. This information was disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K dated August 22, 2022. The Company has not filed Annual or Quarterly Reports for any period subsequent to the quarter ended March 31, 2022. We have provided Moss Adams with a copy of the disclosure made in response to this Item 4.01 and have requested that Moss Adams provide a letter addressed to the Securities & Exchange Commission confirming their agreement with the disclosure contained herein. Pursuant to our request, Moss Adams has provided the letter attached hereto as Exhibit 16.1. SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized. January 10, 2023, By: /s/ Gary Shirshac Gary Shirshac Chief Financial Officer EX-1 2 Exhibit.txt EXHIBIT January10, 2023 Securities and Exchange Commission 100 F Street, N.E.
