Caution About Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements made in this Current Report on Form 8-K may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are statements that include projections, predictions, expectations, or beliefs about events or results or otherwise are not statements of historical facts, such as statements about the anticipated affects of the restatement on our financial results, regaining compliance with NASDAQ requirements and statements about evaluating strategic alternatives. Although Bancshares believes that its expectations with respect to such forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions within the bounds of its existing knowledge of its business and operations, there can be no assurance Bancshares will be able to regain compliance with the NASDAQ requirements, implement strategic alternatives in a timely manner or that the expected affects of the restatement will be as anticipated, or that actual results, performance or achievements of Bancshares will not differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual events or results to differ significantly from those described in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to those described in the cautionary language included under the headings “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 and other filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
