Forward Looking Statements

This Presentation contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. The forward-looking statements in the presentation are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by the statements. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements include, among other things, the following possibilities: (i) an inability of the company to realize elements of its strategic plan for 2005 and beyond, including, but not limited to, an inability to maintain asset quality, meet targeted non-performing asset levels, and meet targeted returns on assets; (ii) increases in competitive pressure in the banking industry; (iii) general economic conditions, either nationally or regionally, that are less favorable than expected; (iv) changes which may occur in the regulatory environment and (v) other factors which are more fully described in our periodic filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. When used in this presentation, the words “believes,” “estimates,” “plans,” “expects,” “should,” “may,” “might,” “outlook,” and “anticipates,” and similar expressions as they relate to BancGroup (including its subsidiaries) or its management are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as to the date they are made. BancGroup does not undertake to update forward-looking statements to reflect circumstances or events that occur after the date the forward-looking statements are made.
