Item 4.02 Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.

On December 17, 2012, OCZ Technology Group, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release and announced that the Audit Committee’s investigation, assisted by third party legal and financial advisors, has been substantially completed and a preliminary report has been provided to the Audit Committee. While there continue to be various matters requiring further investigation, the Company believes they will be concluded shortly. On December 12, 2012 the Audit Committee approved this report and, in consultation with management, concluded that the Company should restate the results for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 as well as the results for certain quarters of fiscal 2012 and for the fiscal year 2012.

The restatements primarily relate to the timing of revenue recognition, the classification of certain customer incentive costs and for the level of reserves for product returns. The number of prior periods affected and the impact of the adjustments will be disclosed in more detail in the Company’s restated financial statements, which will be provided as soon as practical. The Board and management are in discussions with Crowe Horwath LLP, the Company’s independent auditors regarding the matters identified in the investigation. Until the restatements are released, in addition to the financial statements for the periods referenced above, related press releases and shareholder communications describing our financial statements and the report of Crowe Horwath LLP related to the financial statements as of and for the year ended February 29, 2012 should no longer be relied upon.

The Company issued a press release on December 17, 2012 relating to the restatement. A copy of that press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
