The Company may from time to time make written or oral statements that are
considered "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may
include financial projections, statements of plans and objectives for
future operations, estimates of future economic performance and assumptions
relating thereto. The Company may include forward-looking statements in its
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in its reports to
stockholders, including our quarterly report, in other written materials,
and in statements made by senior management to analysts, rating agencies,
institutional investors, representatives of the media and others.
By their very nature, forward-looking statements are subject to
uncertainties, both general and specific, and risk exists that predictions,
forecasts, projections and other estimates contained in forward-looking
statements will not be achieved. Also when we use any of the words
"believes," "expects," "anticipates" or similar expressions, we are making
forward-looking statements. Many possible events or factors could affect
the future financial results and performance of our company. This could
cause results or performance to differ materially from those expressed in
our forward-looking statements. The possible events or factors that might
affect our forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the
following:
* Uses of monetary, fiscal and tax policy by various governments
* Political, legislative or regulatory developments in Vermont or the
United States including changes in laws concerning taxes, banking and
other aspects of the financial services industry
* Developments in general economic or business conditions, including
interest rate fluctuations, market fluctuations and perceptions, and
inflation
* Changes in the competitive environment for financial services
organizations
* The company's ability to retain key personnel
* Changes in technology including demands for greater automation
* Timely, efficient integration of Citizens Savings Bank & Trust Co.'s
operations and systems.
