These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: statements of our goals, intentions and expectations; statements regarding our business plans, prospects, growth and operating strategies; statements regarding the asset quality of our loan and investment portfolios; and estimates of our risks and future costs and benefits. These forward-looking statements are based on current beliefs and expectations of our management and are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control. In addition, these forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions with respect to future business strategies and decisions that are subject to change. The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements: changes in laws or government regulations or policies affecting financial institutions, including changes in regulatory fees and capital requirements; general economic conditions, either nationally or in our market areas, that are worse than expected; competition among depository and other financial institutions; inflation and changes in the interest rate environment that reduce our margins or reduce the fair value of financial instruments; adverse changes in the securities markets; our ability to enter new markets successfully and capitalize on growth opportunities; our ability to successfully integrate acquired entities, if any; changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits; changes in our organization, compensation and benefit plans; our ability to continue to increase and manage our commercial and residential real estate, multi-family, and commercial and industrial loans; possible impairments of securities held by us, including those issued by government entities and government sponsored enterprises; the level of future deposit premium assessments; the impact of the current recession on our loan portfolio (including cash flow and collateral values), investment portfolio, customers and capital market activities; the impact of the current governmental effort to restructure the U.S. financial and regulatory system; changes in the financial performance and/or condition of our borrowers; and the effect of changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the regulatory agencies, as well as the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the Financial Accounting Standards Board and other accounting standard setters. Because of these and other uncertainties, our actual future results may be materially different from the results indicated by these forward- looking statements. Please see "Risk Factors" beginning on page 15 of our 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
