Item 4.02(a): | | Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review |
The B. F. Saul Real Estate Investment Trust (the “Trust”) operates as a Maryland real estate investment trust. The principal business activities of the Trust are the ownership of 80% of the outstanding common stock of Chevy Chase Bank, F.S.B. (the “Bank”) whose assets accounted for 96% of the Trust’s consolidated assets as of its fiscal year ended September 30, 2006 and the ownership and development of income-producing properties. The Bank has determined that it misclassified certain cash flows from the sales of loans which were originated for investment and subsequently transferred to loans held for securitization and/or sale in its Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the quarter ended December 31, 2006 and the years ended September 30, 2006, 2005 and 2004. Those cash flows were reported as cash flows from operating activities rather than as cash flows from investing activities. The misclassification relates only to the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for those periods. The Consolidated Balances Sheets, Consolidated Statements of Operations and Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and Changes in Stockholders’ Equity are not impacted.
On April 18, 2007, the Audit Committee of the Trust agreed with management’s recommendation that the previously issued Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the quarter ended December 31, 2006, and for the years ended September 30, 2006, 2005 and 2004, and for each of the quarterly periods in those fiscal years should no longer be relied upon and the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the quarter ended December 31, 2006, and for the years ended September 30, 2006, 2005 and 2004 should be restated. These matters have been discussed with the Trust’s independent registered public accounting firm.
Concurrently with this filing the Trust is filing an amended quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2006, and an amended annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2006 containing the restated financial statements for those periods.
