Item 4.01. Changes in Registrants Certifying Accountant
On April 21, 2008, we notified Deloitte & Touche LLP (Deloitte
& Touche), the principal independent accountant engaged to audit the
Company's financial statements, that they were dismissed. The dismissal was recommended by the Audit
Committee and approved by the Board of Directors, Bresler & Reiner, Inc.
(Bresler & Reiner or the Company). Effective as of that date, the
Company has appointed Aronson & Company to serve as its independent
auditors for the current fiscal year, which ends on December 31, 2008.
Deloitte & Touches audit reports on the Companys consolidated
financial statements for each of the past two fiscal years did not contain an
adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were such reports qualified or
modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During each of our two most recent fiscal
years and through the date of this report, there were: (i) no disagreements
between the Company and Deloitte & Touche on any matter of accounting
principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure
which, if not resolved to Deloitte & Touches satisfaction, would have
caused them to make reference to the subject matter in their report on the
Companys consolidated financial statements for such years; and (ii) there were
no reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
During 2007, the Company consulted with Aronson & Company who
advised the Company on the appropriate accounting treatment related to the
partial sale of an interest in a real estate joint venture and the entering
into an agreement for the exchange of a leasehold interest for land. The
Companys accounting treatment in its annual financial statements for the year
ended December 31, 2007 for both of these transactions was consistent with the
advice provided by Aronson & Company.
A memorandum from Aronson & Company regarding the aforementioned
transactions is attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit 99.1.
The Companys annual financial statements for the year ended December
31, 2007, reported on by Deloitte & Touche LLP and included in the
Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007,
reflected the accounting treatment related to both the partial sale of an
interest in a real estate joint venture, which resulted in a $18,721,000 gain,
and the entering into an agreement for the exchange of a leasehold interest for
land, which resulted in no gain.
Additional information related to these transactions is included in the
Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.
Deloitte & Touche has been provided a copy of the above disclosure
with a request that it furnish to the Company a letter addressed to the
Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the
statements made by the Company and, if not, stating why it does not agree. A
letter from Deloitte & Touche is attached hereto and incorporated herein as
Exhibit 16.1.
