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.
