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

On April 1, 2013, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, along with senior management of Momentive Performance Materials Inc. (the “Company”) in consultation with the Company's independent registered public accountants, concluded that the condensed consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2012, June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2012 should no longer be relied upon because of classification errors in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and April 3, 2011; the six months ended June 30, 2012 and July 3, 2011 and the nine month periods ended September 30 of 2012 and 2011, respectively. Those condensed consolidated financial statements will be restated as further discussed below.

During the 2012 year end audit, classification errors were identified by the Company's independent registered public accountants in the statement of cash flows. In response to the identification of these errors, management reevaluated the 2012 statement of cash flows, which resulted in the identification of additional items that were misclassifications. Management further expanded its procedures to each of the 2012 and 2011 quarterly statements of cash flows as well as the year end statements for 2011 and 2010. Based on the results of management's expanded procedures, it was concluded that the consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and April 3, 2011; the six months ended June 30, 2012 and July 3, 2011 and the nine month periods ended September 30 of 2012 and 2011, respectively, should be restated. The tables below show the impact of correcting the financial statements for the specified periods for the following classification errors:
The Company included in capital expenditures, amounts that resided in trade payables. These amounts have now been properly excluded from operating and investing activities.
The Company corrected for the misclassification of certain currency translation adjustments within the “Effects of exchange rate changes on cash” line item. These amounts have now been properly reflected in operating activities.
The Company corrected the balance sheets for the specified periods for the misclassification of certain outstanding checks as “Trade payables.” The amounts have now been properly classified as a reduction to “Cash and cash equivalents.”
