Forward-Looking Statements
2
This presentation contains certain forward-looking information about CU Bancorp and California United Bank (collectively the “Company”) that is
intended
to
be
covered
by
the
safe
harbor
for
“forward-looking statements”
provided
by
the
Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All
statements other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. Such statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, many of
which
are
difficult
to
predict
and
are
generally beyond
the
control
of
the
Company.
There
are
a
number
of
important factors that could cause actual
results
to
differ
materially
from
those
expressed
in,
implied
or
projected
by,
such
forward-looking statements.
Risks
and
uncertainties include but are
not limited to lower than expected revenues; credit quality deterioration which could cause an increase in the allowance for loan losses and a reduction in
net earnings; increased competitive pressure among depository institutions; a change in the interest rate environment which reduces interest margins;
asset/liability repricing risks and liquidity risks; general economic conditions, either nationally or in the market areas in which the Company does or
anticipates doing business are less favorable than expected; environmental conditions, including natural disasters, may disrupt our business, impede our
operations, negatively impact the values of collateral security for the Company’s loans or impair the ability of our borrowers to support their debt
obligations; the economic and regulatory effects of the continuing war on terrorism and other events of war; legislative or regulatory requirements or
changes adversely affecting the Company’s business; and changes in the securities markets. If any of these risks or uncertainties materializes or if any of
the assumptions underlying such forward-looking statements proves to be incorrect, the Company’s results could differ materially from those expressed
in, implied or projected by such forward-looking statements. The Company assumes no obligation to update such forward-looking statements. For a
more complete discussion of risks and uncertainties, read the Bank’s annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and other reports filed
