OMEF Omega Financial (MM)

STATE COLLEGE, Pa., Nov. 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Omega Financial Corporation (NASDAQ:OMEF) announced today a revision to its third quarter and year to date earnings based on a charge of $585,000 after tax, or $.05 per diluted share, related to an increase in the provision for loan losses recorded in the third quarter. The increased provision reflects management's evaluation of a subsequent event involving a commercial borrower who has filed for bankruptcy protection. The Company received the information after its earnings release on October 18, 2006. Additionally, the Company has entered into an agreement to sell this loan, which will close in the fourth quarter. Therefore, the Company does not expect to record any additional loss on this loan.
