Forward Looking Statements
Certain
statements
in
this
presentation
contain
“forward-looking
statements”
within
the
meaning
of
the
Private
Securities
Litigation
Reform
Act
of
1995,
such
as
statements
relating
to
future
plans
and
expectations,
and
are
thus
prospective.
Such
forward-looking
statements
are
identified
by
words
such
as
“believes,”
“expects,”
“anticipates,”
“estimates,”
“intends,”
“plans,”
“targets,”
and
“projects,”
as
well
as
similar
expressions.
Forward-looking
statements
are
subject
to
risks,
uncertainties,
and
other
factors
which
could
cause
actual
results
to
differ
materially
from
future
results
expressed
or
implied
by
such
forward-looking
statements.
Factors
which
could
cause
actual
results
to
differ
materially
from
the
anticipated
results
or
other
expectations
expressed
in
the
forward-looking
statements
include,
but
are
not
limited
to:
(1)
the
strength
of
the
United
States
economy
in
general
and
the
strength
of
the
local
economies
in
which
the
Company
conducts
its
operations
which
could
result
in,
among
other
things,
a
deterioration
in
the
credit
quality
or
a
reduced
demand
for
credit,
including
the
resultant
effect
on
our
loan
portfolio
and
allowance
for
loan
losses
and
the
rate
of
delinquencies
and
amounts
of
charge-offs,
or
adverse
changes
in
asset
quality
in
our
loan
portfolio,
which
may
result
in
increased
credit
risk-related
losses
and
expenses;
(2)
adverse
conditions
in
the
stock
market,
the
public
debt
market
and
other
capital
markets
(including
changes
in
interest
rate
conditions)
and
the
impact
of
such
conditions
on
the
Company,
and
the
timing
and
amount
of
future
capital
raising
activities
by
the
Company,
if
any;
and
(3)
actions
taken
by
banking
regulatory
agencies
related
to
the
banking
industry
in
general
and
the
Company
or
the
Bank
specifically.
The
assumptions
underlying
the
forward-looking
statements
could
prove
to
be
inaccurate.
Therefore,
we
can
give
no
assurance
that
the
results
contemplated
in
the
forward-looking
statements
will
be
realized.
The
inclusion
of
this
forward-looking
information
should
not
be
construed
as
a
representation
by
our
Company
or
any
person
that
the
future
events,
plans,
or
expectations
contemplated
by
our
Company
will
be
achieved.
Additional
factors
that
could
cause
our
results
to
differ
materially
from
those
described
in
the
forward-looking
statements
can
be
found
in
our
reports
(such
as
Annual
Reports
on
Form
10-K,
Quarterly

on
Form
10-Q
and

acting
on
its
behalf
is
expressly
qualified
in
its
entirety
by
the
cautionary
statements
above.
We
do
not
undertake
