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

In August 2011, the Company completed the acquisition of VAC Holding GmbH (“VAC”) and formed the Magnetic Technologies segment for that business. In the Fourth Quarter of 2012, the Company, as a result of enhancing its financial planning and analysis efforts, discovered that a portion of Magnetic Technologies' Cost of goods sold were misclassified in Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") since the acquisition when the business converted the basis of its financial reporting from International Financial Reporting Standards to US GAAP. The Company is correcting the classification of these expenses by restating its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed during 2012. The reclassification has no impact on previously-reported net sales, operating profit, net income, or net income per share on the Company's Condensed Statements of Consolidated Operations, nor does it have any effect on the Company's previously-reported Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, Statements of Consolidated Comprehensive Income (Loss), Condensed Statements of Consolidated Cash Flows, Condensed Statements of Consolidated Total Equity or segment net sales and operating profit. The Company has evaluated the error for the period ending December 31, 2011 in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 99, SAB 108 and Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 250 and determined that the impact of the misclassification in 2011 is not material. The Company will make correction of the amounts related to this misstatement for 2011 in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2012.

On February 18, 2013, the Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors, upon recommendation of management and after discussion with the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, concluded: (1) the Company will correct and restate a portion of its expenses by reclassifying certain amounts previously reported in SG&A expense into Cost of goods sold in the previously issued consolidated financial statements for the quarters ended March 31, 2012, June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2012; and, (2) as a result of the restatements, the previously-filed consolidated financial statements for each of the applicable restatement periods should no longer be relied upon because of this misclassification.

The Company is amending its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2012, June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2012 to correct the classification of these expenses. The following line items in the Statement of Operations will be made to the Company's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q as indicated below:
