Hewlett-Packard vacillating near session high at 52.93 and last week`s 52-wk high of 52.94 Mid Penn Bancorp anticipates large loan loss provision Co expects to record a provision for loan and lease losses of ~$7 mln for the fourth quarter of 2009. On December 7, 2009, Mid Penn disclosed that it expected to record a provision for loan and lease losses in the range of $4-5 mln for the fourth quarter of 2009. However, after further analysis, co has determined that the amount of the expected provision is greater than previously disclosed. The increased provision will result in a net loss for the quarter and for the year ending December 31, 2009.
After giving effect to the provision, co will continue to exceed all regulatory capital levels to be considered "well capitalized" at December 31, 2009. The additional provision to the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses is primarily due to several credits in the loan portfolio, all of which were originated prior to the appointment of the current management team. In response to the large loan and lease loss provision expected to be taken for the fourth quarter of 2009, Management has again increased efforts to curtail discretionary expense spending.
