Item 4.01 Changes in Registrants’ Certifying Accountant.
On December 6, 2016, Capstone Turbine Corporation (the
“Company”), as approved by the Audit Committee of its Board of Directors, engaged Marcum LLP
(“Marcum”) as its new independent registered public accounting firm. In connection with Marcum’s
engagement, KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) was dismissed as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm
as of December 5, 2016. KPMG has served as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm since June
2012.
The audit reports of KPMG on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not
qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. The audit reports of KPMG on the effectiveness of
the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2016 and 2015 contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer
of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
During the fiscal years ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, and the subsequent
interim period through December 5, 2016, the date of KPMG’s dismissal, there were no disagreements with KPMG on any matter
of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreement, if not
resolved to the satisfaction of KPMG, would have caused KPMG to make reference to the subject matter of disagreements in connection
with its reports. None of the reportable events described under Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K occurred within the Company’s
two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period through December 5, 2016.
During the fiscal years ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, and the subsequent
interim period through December 5, 2016, the date of KPMG’s dismissal, neither the Company, nor anyone on its behalf, consulted
Marcum regarding either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed;
or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the registrant’s financial statements, and no written report or oral
advice was provided to the Company that Marcum concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision
as to an accounting, auditing, or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as
defined in paragraph 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) or a reportable event (as described in paragraph
304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
In accordance with Item 304(a)(3) of Regulation S-K, the Company
provided KPMG with a copy of the statements set forth above prior to the time this Current Report on Form 8-K was filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Company requested that KPMG furnish the Company with a letter addressed
to the SEC stating whether KPMG agrees with the above statements. KPMG has furnished the requested letter, and it is attached as
an exhibit to this report.
