Previous Independent Registered Public Accounting Firms

On November 15, 2018, Northern Power Systems Corp. (the "Company") dismissed RSM US LLP (“RSM”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. This change in the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm was approved by the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Audit Committee”).

The report of RSM on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 contained a modification related to the uncertainty surrounding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or otherwise modified as to audit scope or accounting principles. The report of RSM US LLP on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 and the subsequent interim period through November 15, 2018, there were no: (i) disagreements (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to this item) between the Company and RSM, whether or not resolved, on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope and procedures which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of RSM, would have caused RSM to make reference to the matter in its report.

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 and the subsequent interim period through November 15, 2018, there have been no reportable events (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K), except for the material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as disclosed in the Company’s Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 and the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2018 and June 30, 2018. The Audit Committee discussed the material weaknesses with RSM, and the Company has authorized RSM to fully respond to the inquiries of Wolf & Company, P.C., the successor independent registered public accounting firm, concerning such matters.

The Company has provided RSM with a copy of this Form 8-K, and has requested that RSM furnish a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements. A copy of RSM’s letter is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.

(b)

New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

On November 20, 2018, the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors engaged Wolf & Company, P.C. as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim periods preceding the engagement, the Company did not consult Wolf & Company, P.C. with respect to any of the matters or events listed in Regulation S-K Item 304(a)(2).

Additionally, Wolf & Company, P.C. intends to serve as the Company’s Canadian independent registered public accounting firm. Wolf & Company, P.C has commenced the required registration process with Canadian Public Accountability Board.
