We have used forward-looking statements to describe future plans and strategies, including our expectations of Oregon Trail Financial Corp.'s future financial results. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and the current economic environment. Management's ability to predict results or the effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain.
