What are the main reasons for the restatement of financial statements in this filing?

The primary reasons for the restatement are the decision to consolidate certain entities due to Federal Reserve Board guidance, which impacted financial reporting for bank holding companies, and the correction of an error related to the accounting for the sale of the residential mortgage banking business. These restatements reduced net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, by $51 million and $35 million, respectively.

How has PNC's asset quality changed compared to the previous year?

PNC's asset quality has shown some deterioration. The ratio of nonperforming assets to total loans, loans held for sale, and foreclosed assets increased to 1.18% as of September 30, 2001, from 0.71% as of December 31, 2000. The provision for credit losses also significantly increased, reflecting concerns about economic conditions and the costs associated with downsizing certain loan portfolios.

What is the company's strategy for improving its business mix and managing risk?

PNC is actively pursuing strategies to create a more diverse and valuable business mix, focusing on increasing contributions from higher-valued businesses like asset management and processing, while improving the risk/return profiles of traditional banking businesses. This includes downsizing certain lending portfolios, reducing overall loan exposure, and enhancing risk management processes.

How did the performance of different business segments vary during this period?

The Asset Management and Processing segment, which includes businesses like BlackRock and PFPC, demonstrated strong performance, contributing significantly to overall earnings. However, the Corporate Banking segment experienced a substantial decline in earnings, primarily due to a higher provision for credit losses related to portfolios being downsized and lower noncredit revenue.

Despite a challenging economic environment, PNC has focused on strategic initiatives to diversify its business mix and improve risk/return characteristics, including downsizing certain lending portfolios and reducing overall loan exposure. Key financial trends show a slight increase in total revenue to $3.82 billion for the nine-month period, driven by net interest income, while noninterest income remained relatively flat. The provision for credit losses significantly increased to $235 million from $96 million, largely due to downsizing specific loan portfolios and adding to reserves amid economic deterioration. Asset quality metrics show an increase in nonperforming assets to 1.18% of total loans from 0.71% in the prior year. The company's capital ratios remain strong, with a leverage ratio of 8.1%.
