indicate future events or trends and which do not relate to historical

as a result of the pendency of the Merger; (v) integration costs
following the merger, (vi) changes in general, national or regional
economic conditions; (vii) changes in loan default and charge-off

and nature of the Camden's competition; (xii) failure to obtain
Nasdaq's approval to list Camden's common stock on Nasdaq and (xiii)
