There are a number of important factors which could cause future results to differ materially from historical performance. These include, but are not limited to, financial condition, operating efficiencies, revenue creation, lending origination, prepayment speeds, loan sale volumes, charge-offs and loan loss provisions. Factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to: (1) expected cost savings from the ALBANK merger cannot be fully realized or realized within the expected time frame; (2) revenues following the ALBANK merger are lower than expected; (3) costs or difficulties related to the integration of the business of Charter One and ALBANK are greater than expected; (4) competitive pressures among depository institutions increase significantly; (5) changes in the interest rate environment reduce interest margins; (6) general economic conditions, either nationally or in the states in which the Company does business, are less favorable than expected; and (7) legislation or regulatory changes adversely affect the businesses in which the Company is engaged.
