Forward-Looking Statements
The letter 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 "will", "encouraged", "continue", "uncertainty", "forecast", "future", "unanticipated", "ensure" and other similar words or expressions. Accounting estimates, such as the provision and allowance for loan losses, are inherently forward-looking. There can be no assurance that future loan losses will be limited to the amounts estimated. Our ability to successfully implement new programs and initiatives, increase efficiencies and improve profitability is not entirely within our control and is not assured. The future effect of changes in the financial and credit markets and the national 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, 2008; the timing and level of asset growth; changes in banking laws and regulations; changes in tax laws; changes in prices, levies and assessments; the impact of technological advances and issues; governmental and regulatory policy changes; opportunities for acquisitions and the effective completion of acquisitions and integration of acquired entities; the possibility that anticipated cost saving s and revenue enhancements from acquisitions, restructurings, reorganizations and bank consolidations may not be realized at amounts projected, at all or within expected time frames; the local and global effects of ongoing and future military actions; and current uncertainties and fluctuations in the financial markets and stocks of financial services providers due to concerns about credit availability and concerns about the Michigan economy in particular. Southern undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect developments that occur or information obtained after the date of this report.
