Item 2.02.      Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
 
On August 8, 2013, Molycorp, Inc. (the "Company") issued a press release announcing financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2013.  A copy of this press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
 
The information contained in Item 2.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto, is being furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section. Furthermore, the information contained in Item 2.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing made by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, except as set forth by specific reference in such filing.


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

On August 6, 2013, the Audit and Ethics Committee of the Company's Board of Directors, based upon a recommendation from management, determined that its unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three months ended March 31, 2013 should no longer be relied upon because they contained an error with respect to the reconciliation of its physical inventory to the general ledger, which resulted in a cumulative overstatement of costs of sales and understatement of current inventory of approximately $16.0 million. This error also caused the income tax benefit in the first quarter of 2013 to be overstated by approximately $6.5 million, the disclosure of the consolidated assessment of normal production levels to be understated by approximately $17.4 million, and the consolidated total write-down of inventory to be overstated by $18.0 million. The misstatement had no effect on the net cash used in operating activities or cash and cash equivalent at the end of the first quarter of 2013.
    
In addition, the Audit and Ethics Committee of the Company's Board of Directors also determined that its unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three months ended March 31, 2013 should no longer be relied upon because they contained an error with respect to the accrual of certain severance charges, which resulted in an understatement of accrued expenses and selling, general and administrative expense of approximately $2.1 million. This error also caused the income tax benefit in the first quarter of 2013 to be understated by approximately $0.8 million. The misstatement had no effect on the net cash used in operating activities or cash and cash equivalent at the end of the first quarter of 2013.
 
Both errors described above affected the financial position and results of operations of the Resources segment.

The following tables reflect the impact of correcting the affected line items of the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements at and for the three months ended March 31, 2013:

The Company's management and the Audit and Ethics Committee of the Board of Directors have discussed the matters disclosed in this Current Report on Form 8-K with the Company's independent accountants. The Company intends to file an amended quarterly report on Form 10-Q/A for the three months ended March 31, 2013. As a result of this, the Company is still evaluating its internal control over financial reporting surrounding the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures for prior interim and annual periods, which could result in a material weakness.
