This presentation will include forward looking statements, which describe
management's expectations regarding future events and developments such as
future operating results, growth in loans and deposits, continued success of
the Company's style of banking and the strength of the local economies in
which it operates. Future events are difficult to predict, and the
expectations described above are necessarily subject to risk and uncertainty
that may cause actual results to differ materially and adversely. In addition
to discussions about risks and uncertainties set forth from time to time in
the Company's public filings, factors that may cause actual results to differ
materially from those contemplated by such forward looking statements include,
among others, the following possibilities: (1) local, national and
international economic conditions are less favorable than expected or have a
more direct and pronounced effect on the Company than expected and adversely
affect the Company's ability to continue its internal growth at historical
rates and maintain the quality of its earning assets; (2) changes in interest
rates reduce interest margins more than expected and negatively affect funding
sources; (3) projected business increases following strategic expansion or
opening or acquiring new banks and/or branches are lower than expected; (4)
costs or difficulties related to the integration of acquisitions are greater
than expected; (5) competitive pressure among financial institutions increases
significantly; (6) legislation or regulatory requirements or changes adversely
affect the businesses in which the Company is engaged.
