FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENT DISCLOSURE
The conference call and discussion, including related questions and answers, and presentation materials, contain forward-looking statements about issues like anticipated third quarter and full-year 2003 earnings, anticipated level of net loan charge-offs and nonperforming assets and anticipated improvement in profitability and competitiveness. Forward-looking statements by their nature are subject to assumptions, risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those contained in or implied by such forward-looking statements for a variety of factors including: changes in interest rates; continued weakness in the economy, which could materially impact credit quality trends and the ability to generate loans; failure of the capital markets to function consistent with customary levels; delay in or inability to execute strategic initiatives designed to grow revenues and/or manage expenses; consummation of significant business combinations or divestitures; new legal obligations or restrictions or unfavorable resolution of litigation; further disruption in the economy or the general business climate as a result of terrorist activities or military actions; and changes in accounting, tax or regulatory practices or requirements.
