These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, and a variety of factors could cause the Company's actual results to differ materially from the anticipated or expected results expressed in these forward-looking statements. Several factors that could cause the Company's actual results to differ materially from those anticipated or expected in these forward-looking statements include the following: general economic conditions (both generally and in our markets) may continue to be less favorable than expected, resulting in, among other things, a further deterioration in credit quality and/or a reduction in demand for credit; continued weakness in the real estate market has adversely affected us and may continue to adversely affect us, leading to higher loan charge-offs or an increase in our provision for loan losses; our ability to liquidate our nonperforming assets may not be successful or may not be on terms that further impact the Bank's capital position; the possibility that we may fail to comply with our Written Agreement with the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta and the Georgia Department of Banking and Finance, which could result in significant enforcement actions against us of increasing severity, up to and including a regulatory takeover of our bank subsidiary; our ability to raise capital to protect against further deterioration in our loan portfolio may be limited due to unfavorable conditions in the equity markets; and the risk factors discussed from time to time in the Company's periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. The Company undertakes no obligation to revise these statements following the date of this press release.
