Scott Liquid Gold : Change in Certifying Accountants - Form 8-K

Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant

On November 3, 2023, the audit committee (the "Audit Committee") of the Board of Directors of Scott's Liquid Gold-Inc. (the "Company") received notice from Plante & Moran, PLLC ("Plante Moran"), the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, regarding Plante Moran's decision to not stand for re-election as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Plante Moran continued to provide services through the completion of its review of the Company's consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. Effective with the filing of the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2023 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on November 7, 2023, Plante Moran resigned as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm.

The reports of Plante Moran on the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 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, except that Plante Moran's report for the year ended December 31, 2022 included an explanatory paragraph indicating that there was substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

Additionally, during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 and through the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, there were no disagreements between the Company and Plante Moran on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Plante Moran, would have caused Plante Moran to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports for such fiscal years; and there were no reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K, except for the disclosure of the material weakness in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting as disclosed in Part I, Item 4 of the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2023 resulting from our finance department not being able to process and account for complex, non-routine transactions in accordance with GAAP; and June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2022 related to the operating effectiveness of the review of the impairment assessment of goodwill prepared by a third-party firm.

In accordance with Item 304(a)(3) of Regulation S-K, the Company provided Plante Moran with a copy of the disclosures in this Current Report on Form 8-K prior to its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") and requested Plante Moran furnish a letter addressed to the Commission stating whether it agrees with the above statements. A copy of that letter, dated November 8, 2023, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
