Bay View Capital Delays Form 10-K Filing
SAN MATEO, Calif., March 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Bay View Capital
Corporation ("BVCC") (NYSE:BVC) announced today that the filing of its 2004
Form 10-K Annual Report will be delayed beyond the March 31, 2005 extended due
date in order to provide BVCC and its Board of Directors additional time to
complete their assessment of BVCC's internal control over financial reporting.
BVCC's recently engaged independent auditors have preliminarily advised BVCC
that BVCC has material weaknesses in its internal control over financial
reporting relating to:
-- The accounting for derivatives (interest rate cap contracts) maintained
by an affiliated special purpose owners trust entity in connection with
the $350 million revolving receivables warehouse credit facility of its
wholly owned subsidiary, Bay View Acceptance Corporation ("BVAC");
-- A continuing weakness as first reported in a Form 8-K Report dated
July 26, 2004 relating to insufficient qualified accounting personnel
to identify and resolve complex accounting issues on a timely basis and
a lack of appropriate resources resulting in insufficient supervision
and review of the financial reporting process; and
-- BVAC's inability to obtain a SAS 70 Type II report to evidence
effectiveness of controls at two of its third-party service
organizations. The service organizations' processes are an integral
part of the company's auto installment loan process which is considered
part of BVCC's internal control over financial reporting, specifically
as to the existence and valuation of auto installment contracts,
interest and fee income. This control deficiency did not result in a
misstatement to BVCC's historical consolidated financial statements;
however, it could result in a misstatement of auto installment
contracts, interest and fee income that would result in a material
misstatement to annual or interim financial statements that might not
be prevented or detected in a timely manner.
Based upon the information assessed to date, BVCC intends to restate its
consolidated financial statements for the first, second and third quarters of
2004 that were previously reported in its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and
its consolidated financial statements for the fourth quarter of 2004 that were
previously furnished in a Current Report on Form 8-K dated January 28, 2005.
BVCC currently believes that the maximum aggregate effect of the restatements
on BVCC's previously reported stockholders' equity at December 31, 2004 of
$104.2 million, or book value of $15.80 per share, will be $430 thousand, or
$0.06 per share, on an after-tax basis resulting in restated stockholders'
equity of $103.8 million, or book value of $15.74 per share.
The following table summarizes the changes in loss before income tax benefit,
net loss, basic and diluted loss per share and total assets from amounts
previously reported in BVCC's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and its Current
Report on Form 8-K dated January 28, 2005:

At a meeting held on March 30, 2005, the Audit Committee of BVCC's Board of
Directors determined to take the following actions:
-- Commence an immediate and on-going review of BVAC loan arrangements
that involve derivative instruments;
-- Conduct a quarterly review of all accounting policies that are relevant
to proposed new or modified BVCC activities;
-- Retain qualified advisors to provide guidance as it relates to complex
accounting principles and commensurately evaluate the appropriate staff
size and complement in the accounting and financial reporting areas;
-- Continue to work with both service providers to obtain SAS 70 Type II
reports;
-- Continue to perform periodic substantive testing to verify the accuracy
of auto installment contract principal balances, interest and fee
income; and
-- Complete management's assessment of internal control over financial
reporting.
BVCC anticipates making further public disclosure on these matters in its 2004
Form 10-K Report or otherwise if appropriate.
