Forward-Looking Statements
The press release contains forward-looking statements that are based on management's beliefs, assumptions, current expectations, estimates and projections about the financial services industry, the economy, and Southern Michigan Bancorp, Inc. Forward-looking statements are identifiable by words or phrases such as that an event or trend "will" occur or "continue" or that Southern Michigan Bancorp, Inc. or its management "expects", "believes", "intends" or "anticipates" that a particular result or event will or "should" occur, or other words or phrases such as "subject to" or "still", and variations of such words and similar expressions. There can be no assurance that regulatory approval of the charter consolidation will be obtained. Southern's ability to reduce expenses, eliminate duplicate services, and improve operating efficiencies after completion of the charter consolidation is not assured. The future effect of changes in the financial and credit markets and the nati onal and regional economy on the banking industry, generally, and Southern Michigan Bancorp, Inc., specifically, are also inherently uncertain. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions ("risk factors") that are difficult to predict with regard to timing, extent, likelihood and degree of occurrence. Therefore, actual results and outcomes may materially differ from what may be expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. Risk factors include, but are not limited to, the risk factors described in "Item 1A - Risk Factors" of Southern Michigan Bancorp, Inc.'s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.
