FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS This presentation

may contain statements that are not historical in nature and are

intended to be, and are hereby identified as, forward-looking statements

for purposes of the safe harbor provided by Section 21E of the

Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Forward-looking statements are those that are not historical facts.

The words “may,” “will,” “anticipate,” “should,” “would,”

“believe,” “contemplate,” “expect,” “aim,” “plan,” “estimate,”

“continue,” and “intend,” as well as other similar words and expressions

of the future, are intended to identify forward-looking statements.

These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to,

statements related to our projected growth, anticipated future financial

performance, and management’s long-term performance

goals, as well as statements relating to the anticipated effects

on results of operations and financial condition from expected developments

or events, or business and growth strategies, including anticipated

internal growth and balance sheet restructuring. These forward

-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause

our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated

in such statements. Potential risks and uncertainties include, but

are not limited to: the strength of the United States economy

in general and the strength of the local economies in which we conduct

operations; our ability to successfully manage interest rate

risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, and other risks inherent to our

industry; the accuracy of our financial statement estimates and assumptions,

interest income decreased by $1.8 million compared to the prior quarter

predominately due to increase in deposit cost and a liability sensitive

balance sheet. Held more cash in wake of recent bank failures and

increased liquidity with higher priced brokered CD’s ($50

million) which negatively impacted NIM. Shift in deposit mix; out

of DDA and into interest bearing deposits. Majority of Q2 loan

production (higher yields) was booked at the end of the quarter,

the full impact on the NIM is yet to be realized. $50 million notional

pay fixed rate swap executed in Q2; $100 million pay fixed rate

swap executed in early Q3 to help future NIM. Q3 loan pipeline
