The forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results, or those anticipated.

These factors include: (i) continuation of the historically low short-term interest rates, (ii) a change in real estate or capital market conditions which could lead to asset quality deterioration or asset impairments including intangibles, (iii) the inability of StellarOne to grow its portfolio at historical growth rates, (iv) the impact of governmental restrictions on entities participating in the US Treasury Department Capital Purchase Program, and (v) mergers and acquisitions.
