Section 2 – Financial Information
| Item 2.02 | Results of Operations and Financial Condition. |
On August 15, 2007, Accredited Mortgage Loan REIT Trust (“REIT”) filed a Form 12b-25 in connection with the delayed filing of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2007. Such 12b-25 contained the following disclosure regarding the results of operations and financial condition of REIT:
“The following information is preliminary, not complete and subject to change, pending completion of REIT’s financial statements for the quarters ended March 31, 2007 and June 30, 2007 and Squar Milner’s review of such financial statements.
Total assets are expected to be $7.1 billion as of June 30, 2007 compared to $7.8 billion at June 30, 2006. Net earnings for the period ending June 30, 2007 are expected to be down at least 50% from the comparable period in 2006, primarily as the result of lower net interest margin and an increase in non-performing loans. Total provision for losses expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 is expected to increase by approximately $20 million compared to the comparable period in 2006.
REIT had approximately $65 million in liquidity at June 30, 2007, compared to $6 million at June 30, 2006 due primarily to the proceeds from the previously announced term loan from Farallon Capital Management, L.L.C.
*****
While REIT believes that it has considered all factors which may impact its results of operations, there can be no assurance that REIT has successfully identified all matters affecting those results or that additional adjustments will not be required prior to the completion of REIT’s financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007.
This Notification of Late Filing on Form 12b-25 contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, relating to REIT’s expected results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and REIT’s expectations regarding it’s ability to file its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2007 and June 30, 2007. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties, including significant risks and uncertainties relating to REIT’s business, including the REIT’s ability to profitably grow its portfolio, maintain liquidity, execute on strategic opportunities, complete the review of REIT’s financial statements and assessment of its internal control over financial reporting, make other required SEC and regulatory filings and other risk factors as outlined in REIT’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, and other documents filed by the Company with the SEC. These and other factors could cause REIT’s actual results to differ materially from what it projects or contemplates in its forward-looking statements. REIT cautions readers that the non-prime mortgage industry and REIT’s business are subject to numerous significant risks and uncertainties.”
