This excerpt taken from the PNC 10-Q filed Nov 9, 2006. NOTE 5 MORTGAGE LOAN PORTFOLIO REPOSITIONING During the third quarter of 2006, we announced our plan to sell or securitize approximately $2.1 billion of loans from our residential mortgage portfolio. We expect these transactions to be substantially consummated during the fourth quarter of 2006. In accordance with GAAP, these loans were transferred to loans held for sale as of September 30, 2006. We recognized a pretax loss in the third quarter of 2006 of $48 million as a reduction of noninterest income, representing the mark to market valuation of these loans upon transfer to held for sale status. This loss, which is reported in the Other business segment, represented the decline in value of the loans almost entirely from the impact of increases in interest rates. We expect to replace these loans with other residential mortgage loans, with the expectation of increasing the overall yield on our total loan portfolio and improving net interest income relative to current estimates. |
