Forward-Looking Statements

This press release includes “forward-looking statements,” as such
term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Forward-looking statements are based on the current beliefs of the
Bank’s directors and executive officers (collectively, “Management”), as
well as assumptions made by and information currently available to the
Bank’s Management. All statements regarding the Bank’s business
strategy and plans and objectives of Management of the Bank for future
operations, are forward-looking statements. When used in this
press release, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect”
and “intend” and words or phrases of similar meaning, as they relate to
the Bank or the Bank’s Management, are intended to identify
forward-looking statements. Although the Bank believes that the
expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are
reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove
to be correct. Important factors that could cause actual results
to differ materially from the Bank’s expectations (“cautionary
statements”) are the loss of key personnel, lower lending limits and
capital than competitors, regulatory restrictions and oversight of the
Bank during its “de novo” phase, the secure and effective implementation
of technology, risks related to the local and national economy, the
Bank’s implementation of its business plans and management of growth,
loan performance, interest rates, and regulatory matters, the effects of
trade, monetary and fiscal policies, inflation, and changes in
accounting policies and practices. Based upon changing
conditions, if any one or more of these risks or uncertainties
materialize, or if any underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual
results may vary materially from those described as anticipated,
believed, estimated, expected or intended. The Bank does not
intend to update these forward-looking statements.
