Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This press release and other statements made from time to time by YNB’s management contain express and implied statements relating to YNB’s future financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, performance, and business, which are considered forward-looking statements. These may include statements that relate to, among other things, profitability, liquidity, adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, plans for growth, interest rate sensitivity, market risk, regulatory compliance, and financial and other goals. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, our expectations may not be achieved.  Actual results may differ materially from those expected or implied as a result of certain risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to: adverse changes in our loan quality and the resulting credit risk-related losses and expenses; levels of our loan origination volume; the results of our efforts to implement our retail strategy and attract core deposits; compliance with laws and regulatory requirements, including our formal agreement with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, and compliance with NASDAQ standards; interest rate changes and other economic conditions; proxy contests and litigation; continued relationships with major customers; competition in product offerings and product pricing; adverse changes in the economy that could increase credit-related losses and expenses; adverse changes in the market price of our common stock; and other risks and uncertainties detailed from time to time in our filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), as well as other risks and uncertainties detailed from time to time in statements made by our management.  YNB assumes no obligation to update or supplement forward- looking statements except as may be required by applicable law or regulation.
