Greater Bay Bancorp
Current Report on Form 8-K
Item 8.01 | Other Events |
On May 10, 2007, Greater Bay Bancorp (or we, us or our), filed our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2007 (the First Quarter 10-Q) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). In the First Quarter 10-Q, we presented updated business segment reporting disclosures reflecting changes to the way management evaluates our business segments and as a result, there have been changes to our operating segment presentation and how our segment results are determined, as described below.
Changes to Operating Segments Presented
Effective January 1, 2007, we began to include our holding companys investment portfolio and borrowings as part of our treasury business segment. Those assets and liabilities and the related interest income and expense were previously included with the results of our bank administration and operating unit.
We have restated all prior period segment information to conform to the current composition of reportable segments.
Changes to how our Segment Results are Determined
Effective January 1, 2007, we began to allocate service management expenses related to our back-office deposit operations to community banking. Those expenses were previously included with the results of our bank administration and operating unit. Prior periods have been restated to conform to our current methodology.
Effective January 1, 2007, we implemented a systematic capital allocation process for each of our segments. This allocation impacts each segments equity balance, which in turn impacts intersegment interest charges received and paid. Prior periods have been restated to conform to our current methodology.
As a result of these changes, amounts previously reported by us for our business segments have changed.
We are filing this Current Report on Form 8-K to conform our historical consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 (the 2006 Annual Report) to the presentation reflected by this reclassification. The information included in this Current Report on Form 8-K does not in any way restate or revise our net income, consolidated statements of income, consolidated statements of cash flows and consolidated statements of shareholders equity for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 and the consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2006 and 2005.
Exhibit 99.1 contains an updated Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Item 8 Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, which includes Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting for the year ended December 31, 2006, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLPs Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, and our Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2006, containing an update to Note 16
