Abstract: NEW YORK (Standard&Poor's) Oct. 16, 2009--Standard&Poor's Ratings Services said today that its rating on Bank of America Corp. (BAC; A/Stable/A-1, holding company) is not affected by the company's just-announced third-quarter loss. BAC reported a pretax loss of $2.0 billion compared to pretax income of $2.4 billion in the previous quarter. A decline in revenues affected results as average earning assets fell while the margin declined by a modest 3 basis points to 2.61%. Furthermore, mortgage banking results were weaker in the quarter as lower volumes and weaker mortgage servicing rights hedging performance dampened earnings. On the credit front, an $11.7 billion loss provision, compared to $13.4 billion in the previous quarter, included a $2.1 billion reserve
