Forward Looking Statements
This
presentation
contains
certain
“forward-looking
statements”
(within
the
meaning
of
the
Private
Securities
Litigation
Reform
Act
of
1995)
with
respect
to
the
financial
conditions,
results
of
operations
and
business
of
Alliance.
The
words
“may,”
“could,”
“should,”
“would,”
“believe,”
“anticipate,”
“estimate,”
“expect,”
“intend,”
“plan”
and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.  These forward-looking
statements involve certain risks and uncertainties.  Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by such
forward-looking statements include, among others, the following:
changes in the interest rate environment that reduce margins;
changes in the regulatory environment;
the highly competitive industry and market area in which we operate;
general economic conditions, either nationally or regionally, resulting in, among other things, a deterioration in credit quality;
changes in business conditions and inflation;
changes in credit market conditions;
changes in technology used in the banking business;
the
soundness
of
other
financial
services
institutions
which
may
adversely
affect
our
credit
risk;
certain of our intangible assets may become impaired in the future;
our controls and procedures may fail or be circumvented;
new line of business or new products and services which may subject us to additional risks;
changes in key management personnel which may adversely impact our operations;
the effect on our operations of recent legislative and regulatory initiatives that were or may be enacted in response to the ongoing
financial crisis;
other factors detailed from time to time in our Securities and Exchange Commission filings
Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, actual results may differ materially from the
results discussed in these forward-looking statements.  You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which
speak only as of the date hereof.  We do not undertake any obligation to republish revised forward-looking statements to reflect events or
circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence
of unanticipated events.
