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.
