Management’s analysis contains forward -looking statements that are provided to assist in the understanding of anticipated future financial performance . However, such performance involves risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially . Factors that could cause actual results to differ from those discussed in the forward -looking statements include, but are not limited to: • management’s ability to effectively execute its business plan; • the risk that the strength of the United States economy in general and the strength of the local economies in which we conduct operations may continue to deteriorate resulting in, among other things, a further deterioration in credit quality or a reduced demand for credit, including the resultant effect on our loan portfolio, allowance for loan and lease losses and overall financial performance; • the ability of financial institutions to access sources of liquidity at a reasonable cost; • the impact of recent upheaval in the financial markets and the effectiveness of domestic and international governmental actions taken in response, such as the U.S. Treasury’s TARP and the FDIC’s Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program, and the effect of such governmental actions on us, our competitors and counterparties, financial markets generally and availability of credit specifically, and the U.S. and international economies, including potentially higher FDIC premiums arising from increased payments from FDIC insurance funds as a result of depository institution failures; • the effect of and changes in policies and laws or regulatory agencies (notably the recently enacted Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act); • inflation and possible changes in interest rates; • our ability to keep up with technological changes; • our ability to comply with the terms of loss sharing agreements with the FDIC; • mergers and acquisitions, including costs or difficulties related to the integration of acquired companies and the wind-down of non-strategic operations that may be greater than expected; • the risk that exploring merger and acquisition opportunities may detract from management’s time and ability to successfully manage our company; • expected cost savings in connection with the consolidation of recent acquisitions may not be fully realized or realized within the expected time frames, and deposit attrition, customer loss and revenue loss following completed acquisitions may be greater than expected; • our ability to increase market share and control expenses; • the effect of changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the regulatory agencies as well as the Financial Accounting Standards Board and the SEC; • adverse changes in the securities and debt markets; • our success in recruiting and retaining the necessary personnel to support business growth and expansion and maintain sufficient expertise to support increasingly complex products and services; • monetary and fiscal policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Federal Reserve) and the U.S. government and other governmental initiatives affecting the financial services industry; • our ability to manage loan delinquency and charge -off rates and changes in estimation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses; and • the costs and effects of litigation and of unexpected or adverse outcomes in such litigation .  In addition, please refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, as well as our other filings with the SEC, for a more detailed discussion of these risks and uncertainties and other factors.

  First Quarter 2011 Loan Valuation   The majority of the loans acquired as part of the FDIC-assisted transactions are accounted for under ASC Topic 310-30 which requires the Company to periodically update its forecast of expected cash flows from these loans.   As a result of valuation procedures performed during the first quarter 2011, the Company experienced an improvement in cash flow expectations related to certain loan pools and impairment related to other loan pools.   There were also loan pools that were impaired in prior periods but improved during the first quarter revaluation . This improvement was recorded during the quarter as a recapture of prior period impairment which partially offset current period impairment . Loan pools that recaptured prior impairment and experienced additional improvement beyond the initial impairment are included in the “loans with improvement” listed below.  First Quarter 2011 Valuation Results  Current Prior Period Net Current Yield Balance as of Period Impairment Period Improvement Dollars in thousands March 31, 2011 Impairment Recapture Impairment Old New  Loans with improvement $691,473 - ($16,688) ($16,688) $20,718 9.98% 12.00% Loans with impairment 540,380 $32,096 (346) 31,750 - 10.93% 10.93% Total $1,231,853 $32,096 ($17,034) $15,062 $20,718 10.40% 11.53%  FDIC indemnification asset $207,359 NA NA NA NA (0.76%) (3.07%)  Weighted average yield 8.79% 9.43%  Another step on the path to success 8
