FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This report 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. Such statements are based upon current beliefs and expectations and involve substantial risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These statements include, among others, statements related to real estate valuation, future levels of non-performing loans, the rate of asset dispositions, dividends, future growth and funding sources, future liquidity levels, future profitability levels, the effects on earnings of changes in interest rates and the future level of other revenue sources. Management's determination of the provision and allowance for loan losses, the appropriate carrying value of intangible assets (including goodwill, mortgage s ervicing rights and deferred tax assets) and the fair value of investment securities (including whether any impairment on any investment security is temporary or other-than-temporary and the amount of any impairment) involves judgments that are inherently forward-looking. All of the information concerning interest rate sensitivity is forward-looking. Management's assumptions regarding pension and other post retirement plans involve judgments that are inherently forward-looking. Our ability to successfully implement new programs and initiatives, increase efficiencies, respond to declines in collateral values and credit quality, maintain our current level of deposits and other sources of funding, and improve profitability is not entirely within our control and is not assured. The future effect of changes in the real estate, 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. Thes e 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. Southern Michigan Bancorp, Inc. does not undertake to update forward-looking statements to reflect the impact of circumstances or events that may arise after the date of the forward-looking statements.
Risk factors include, but are not limited to, the risk factors described in "Item 1A - Risk Factors" of this report; the timing and level of asset growth; changes in market interest rates; 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 savings 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 the ongoing war on terrorism and other military actions; changes in value and credit quality of investment securities; and current uncertainties and fluctuations in the financial markets and stocks of financial services provi ders due to concerns about credit availability and concerns about the Michigan economy in particular. These and other factors are representative of the risk factors that may emerge and could cause a difference between an ultimate actual outcome and a preceding forward-looking statement. We undertake no obligation to update or revise our forward-looking statements to reflect developments that occur or information obtained after the date of this report.
PART I
Item 1. | Business |
General
Southern Michigan Bancorp, Inc. ("Southern" the "Company" "we" "our" or "us") is a bank holding company registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. Southern was incorporated on March 1, 1982, as a Michigan corporation. Southern was formed to create a bank holding company for the purpose of acquiring all of the capital stock of Southern Michigan Bank & Trust, a Michigan state-chartered bank ("Southern Michigan Bank" or "the Bank") (formerly Southern Michigan National Bank), which it did in November 1982. Southern is also the parent company of Southern Michigan Bancorp Capital Trust I, a Delaware statutory trust. On December 1, 2007, Southern acquired FNB Financial, (formerly, The First National Bank of Three Rivers), a Michigan state-chartered bank. On April 20, 2009 FNB Financial was consolidated with and into Southern Michigan Bank. At December 31, 2009, Southern, on a consolidated bas is, had shareholders' equity of $45.7 million.
Southern Michigan Bank is the parent company of SMB&T Financial Services, Inc., a Michigan corporation, and FNB Financial Services, Inc., a Michigan corporation.
Through the Bank, we operate 18 banking offices located in Athens, Battle Creek, Camden, Cassopolis, Centreville, Coldwater, Constantine, Hillsdale, Marshall, Mendon, North Adams, Tekonsha, Three Rivers, and Union City, Michigan. At December 31, 2009, on a consolidated basis, we had assets of $462.4 million, deposits of $380.9 million, a net loan portfolio of $327.0 million, and had trust assets under management totaling $208.2 million.
Our business, which we conduct primarily through the Bank, is concentrated in a single industry segment - commercial banking. We offer a variety of deposit, payment, credit and other financial services to all types of customers. These services include time, savings, and demand deposits, safe deposit services, and automated teller machine services. Loans, including both commercial and consumer, are extended primarily on a secured basis to corporations, partnerships and individuals. Commercial lending covers such categories as business, industry, agricultural, construction, inventory and real estate. Consumer lending covers direct and indirect loans to purchasers of residential real property and consumer goods. We offer trust and investment services, which include investment management, trustee services, IRA rollovers and retirement plans, institutional and personal custody, estate settlement, wealth management, estate planning assistance, wealth transfer planning assistan ce, charitable gift planning assistance, and cash management custody. No material part of our business is dependent upon a single customer or very few customers, the loss of which would have a material adverse effect on us.
Effective November 20, 2009, the operations of SMB Mortgage Company were consolidated with and into the Bank, and SMB Mortgage Company was subsequently dissolved and liquidated. All products and services previously provided by SMB Mortgage Company are now provided by the Bank.
Competition
Our business is highly competitive. We face significant competition from commercial banks, saving and loan associations, credit unions, commercial and consumer finance companies, insurance companies and leasing companies. We also face competition from money market mutual funds, investment and brokerage firms and nonfinancial institutions, which provide many of the financial services we offer. Many of our non-bank competitors are not subject to the same extensive federal regulations that govern bank holding companies and banks. Such non-bank competitors may, as a result, have certain advantages over us in providing some services. The principal methods of competition that we face are price (interest rates paid on deposits, interest rates charged on borrowings and fees charged for services) and service (convenience and quality of services rendered to customers).
Supervision and Regulation
We are extensively regulated and are subject to a comprehensive regulatory framework that imposes restrictions on our activities, minimum capital requirements, lending and deposit restrictions, dividend restrictions, and numerous other requirements. This system of regulation is primarily intended for the protection of depositors, federal deposit insurance funds and the banking system as a whole, rather than for the protection of shareholders and creditors of Southern. Many of these laws and regulations have undergone significant change in recent years and are likely to change in the future. Future legislative or regulatory change, or changes in enforcement practices or court rulings, may have a significant and potentially adverse impact on our operations and financial condition. Our non-bank subsidiaries are also subject to various federal and state laws and regulations.
Recent Regulatory Developments
Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008: On October 3, 2008, the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (EESA) was enacted. EESA enables the federal government, under terms and conditions to be developed by the Secretary of the Treasury, to insure troubled assets, including mortgage-backed securities, and collect premiums from participating financial institutions. EESA includes, among other provisions: (a) the $700 billion Troubled Assets Relief Program (TARP), under which the Secretary of the Treasury is authorized to purchase, insure, hold, and sell a wide variety of financial instruments, and (b) an increase in the amount of deposit insurance provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"). Under the TARP, the Department of
Treasury authorized a voluntary capital purchase program ("CPP") to purchase senior preferred shares of qualifying financial institutions that elected to participate by November 14, 2008. We did not participate in the CPP.
EESA temporarily raised the limit on federal deposit insurance coverage from $100,000 to $250,000 per depositor. The limit is scheduled to return to $100,000 on January 1, 2014. Separate from EESA, in October 2008, the FDIC also announced the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program. Under one component of this program, the FDIC is temporarily providing unlimited coverage for noninterest bearing transaction deposit accounts through June 30, 2010.
Financial Stability Plan: On February 10, 2009, the Financial Stability Plan ("FSP") was announced by the U.S. Treasury Department. The FSP is a comprehensive set of measures intended to shore up the financial system. The core elements of the plan include making bank capital injections, creating a public-private investment fund to buy troubled assets, establishing guidelines for loan modification programs and expanding the Federal Reserve lending program.
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009: On February 17, 2009, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 ("ARRA") was enacted. ARRA is intended to provide a stimulus to the U.S. economy in the wake of the economic downturn brought about by the subprime mortgage crisis and the resulting credit crunch. The bill includes federal tax cuts, expansion of unemployment benefits and other social welfare provisions, and domestic spending in education, healthcare, and infrastructure, including the energy structure. The new law also includes numerous non-economic recovery related items, including a limitation on executive compensation in federally aided banks. Under ARRA, an institution will be subject to a number of restrictions and standards throughout the period in which any obligation arising from financial assistance provided under TARP remains outstanding.
Homeowner Affordability and Stability Plan: On February 18, 2009, the Homeowner Affordability and Stability Plan ("HASP") was announced by the President of the United States. HASP is intended to support a recovery in the housing market and ensure that workers can continue to pay off their mortgages through the following elements:
| • | Provide access to low-cost refinancing for responsible homeowners suffering from falling home prices. |
|
|
|
| • | A $75 billion homeowner stability initiative to prevent foreclosure and help responsible families stay in their homes. |
|
|
|
| • | Support low mortgage rates by strengthening confidence in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. |
More details regarding HASP are expected to be announced at a future date.
Deposit Insurance Premiums: On November 12, 2009, the FDIC adopted a final rule on assessment regulations to require depository institutions to prepay their quarterly risk-based assessments for the fourth quarter of 2009, and for all of 2010, 2011 and 2012, on December 30, 2009. The projected assessment base for each quarter represents the September 30, 2009 assessment base increased quarterly by a 5 percent annual growth rate. This rule resulted in a prepaid assessment totaling $2.2 million for the Bank.
Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program: In November 2008, the FDIC adopted a final rule relating to the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program ("TLGP"). The TLGP, an initiative to counter the system-wide crisis in the nation's financial sector, was amended by the FDIC in August 2009 to extend maturity dates originally adopted under the November 2008 final rule. Under the TLGP, the FDIC will (i) guarantee, through the earlier of maturity or December 31, 2012, certain newly-issued senior unsecured debt issued by participating institutions on or after October 14, 2008 and through October 31, 2009 and (ii) provide full FDIC deposit insurance coverage for covered accounts, which are defined as noninterest-bearing transaction deposit accounts, Negotiable Order of Withdrawal ("NOW") accounts paying less than 0.5% interest per annum and Interest on Lawyers Trust Accounts ("IOLTA") held at participating FDIC-insured institutions through June 30, 2010. The fee assessment for coverage of senior unsecured debt ranges from 50 basis points to 100 basis points per annum, depending on the initial maturity of the debt. The fee assessment for deposit insurance coverage is an annualized 10 basis points assessed quarterly on amounts in covered accounts exceeding $250,000. Southern has elected to participate in both guarantee programs.
In October 2009, the FDIC also established a limited, six-month emergency guarantee facility upon expiration of the debt guarantee program, under which certain eligible participating entities can issue FDIC-guaranteed debt starting October 31, 2009 through April 30, 2010. The fee for issuing debt under the emergency facility will be at least 300 basis points per annum. At December 31, 2009, Southern had not issued and does not expect to issue any FDIC-guaranteed debt under the TLGP. Southern's additional FDIC fee assessment in 2009 related to the full deposit coverage for NOW accounts paying less than 0.5% interest per annum and IOLTA was $7,100.
In addition, the U.S. Government, the Federal Reserve, the Department of the Treasury, the FDIC and other governmental and regulatory bodies have taken, or may be considering taking, other actions to address the financial crisis. There can be no assurance, however, as to the actual impact of these actions on the financial markets and their potential impact on our business.
Southern
Southern is subject to supervision and regulation by the Federal Reserve System. Our activities are generally limited to owning or controlling banks and engaging in such other activities as the Federal Reserve System may determine to be closely related to banking. Prior approval of the Federal Reserve System, and in some cases various other government agencies, is required for us to acquire control of any additional bank holding companies, banks or other operating subsidiaries. We are subject to periodic examination by the Federal Reserve System, and are required to file with the Federal Reserve System periodic reports of our operations and such additional information as the Federal Reserve System may require.
Southern is a legal entity separate and distinct from the Bank. There are legal limitations on the extent to which the Bank may lend or otherwise supply funds to us. Payment of dividends to us by the Bank, our principal source of funds, is subject to various state and federal regulatory limitations. Under the Michigan Banking Code of 1999, the Bank's ability to pay dividends to us is subject to the following restrictions:
| • | A bank may not declare or pay a dividend if a bank's surplus would be less than 20% of its capital after payment of the dividend. |
|
|
|
| • | A bank may not declare a dividend except out of net income then on hand after deducting its losses and bad debts. |
|
|
|
| • | A bank may not declare or pay a dividend until cumulative dividends on preferred stock, if any, are paid in full. |
|
|
|
| • | A bank may not pay a dividend from capital or surplus. |
Federal law generally prohibits a bank from making any capital distribution (including payment of a dividend) or paying any management fee to its parent company if the depository institution would thereafter be undercapitalized. The FDIC may prevent an insured bank from paying dividends if the bank is in default of payment of any assessment due to the FDIC. In addition, the FDIC may prohibit the payment of dividends by a bank, if such payment is determined, by reason of the financial conditions of the bank, to be an unsafe and unsound banking practice. Additional information on restrictions on payment of dividends by the banks may be found under "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and Note Q of our consolidated financial statements, which information is here incorporated by reference.
Under Federal Reserve System policy, we are expected to act as a source of financial strength to the Bank and to commit resources to support the Bank. In addition, if the Michigan Office of Financial and Insurance Regulation ("OFIR") deems the Bank's capital to be impaired, OFIR may require the Bank to restore its capital by a special assessment on us as the Bank's only shareholder. If we failed to pay any assessment, our directors would be required, under Michigan law, to sell the shares of the Bank's stock owned by us to the highest bidder at either a public or private auction and use the proceeds of the sale to restore the Bank's capital.
The Federal Reserve Board and the FDIC have established guidelines for risk-based capital by bank holding companies and banks. These guidelines establish a risk-adjusted ratio relating capital to risk-weighted assets and off-balance-sheet exposures. These capital guidelines primarily define the components of capital, categorize assets into different risk classes, and include certain off-balance-sheet items in the calculation of capital requirements.
The FDIC Improvement Act of 1991 established a system of prompt corrective action to resolve the problems of undercapitalized financial institutions. Under this system, federal banking regulators have established five capital categories: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized, in which all institutions are placed. The federal banking agencies have also specified by regulation the relevant capital levels for each of the categories.
Federal banking regulators are required to take specified mandatory supervisory actions and are authorized to take other discretionary actions with respect to institutions in the three undercapitalized categories. The severity of the action depends upon the capital category in which the institution is placed. Subject to a narrow exception, the banking regulator must generally appoint a receiver or conservator for an institution that is critically undercapitalized. An institution in any of the under-capitalized categories is required to submit an acceptable capital restoration plan to its appropriate federal banking agency. An undercapitalized institution is also generally prohibited from paying any dividends, increasing its average total assets, making acquisitions, establishing any branches or engaging in any new line of business, except under an accepted capital restoration plan or with FDIC approval.
Failure to meet capital guidelines could subject a bank or bank holding company to a variety of enforcement remedies, including issuance of a capital directive, the termination of deposit insurance by the FDIC, a prohibition on accepting brokered deposits, and other restrictions on its business. In addition, such a bank would generally not receive regulatory approval of any application that requires the consideration of capital adequacy, such as a branch or merger application, unless the bank could demonstrate a reasonable plan to meet the capital requirement within a reasonable period of time.
As of the date of this report, the capital ratios of Southern and the Bank exceeded the minimum thresholds to be categorized as "well-capitalized" under applicable regulations. Note V of our consolidated financial statements provides additional information regarding our capital ratios, and is here incorporated by reference.
Southern Michigan Bank
Southern Michigan Bank is chartered under Michigan law and is subject to regulation by OFIR. Michigan banking laws place restrictions on various aspects of banking, including permitted activities, loan interest rates, branching, payment of dividends, and capital and surplus requirements.
The Bank's deposits are insured by the FDIC to the extent provided by law. From time to time, the Bank is required to pay deposit insurance premiums to the Deposit Insurance Fund ("DIF"). The amount of the premiums varies and are generally determined by the FDIC based on the balance of insured deposits and the amount of risk each institution poses to the DIF. The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank system. This provides certain advantages, including favorable borrowing rates for certain funds.
Pursuant to the Federal Deposit Insurance Reform Act of 2005, the FDIC modified its method of calculating FDIC insurance assessments effective November 2006, and provided credits to certain banks for the calendar year 2007, to be applied to future assessments. The bank had earned assessment credits. These changes allowed the Bank to partially offset its FDIC insurance assessments for 2007 and much of 2008 using credits they have earned. Credits at the Bank were used up during 2008. The assessment methodology allows the FDIC to set its assessment rates in the future in connection with declines in the insurance funds or increases in the amount of insurance coverage.
During 2008, the Bank paid $45,000 in Financing Corporation ("FICO") assessments related to outstanding FICO bonds to the FDIC as collection agent. The FICO is a mixed-ownership government corporation established by the Competitive Equality Banking Act of 1987 whose sole purpose was to function as a financing vehicle for the now defunct Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation. FICO assessments will continue in the future for the Bank.
Banks are subject to a number of federal and state laws and regulations, which have a material impact on their business. These include, among others, minimum capital requirements, state usury laws, state laws relating to fiduciaries, the Truth in Lending Act, the Truth in Savings Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Expedited Funds Availability Act, the Community Reinvestment Act, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, the USA PATRIOT Act, the FACT Act, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, The Bank Secrecy Act, electronic funds transfer laws, redlining laws, predatory lending laws, antitrust laws, environmental laws, money laundering laws and privacy laws. The instruments of monetary policy of authorities,
such as the Federal Reserve System, may influence the growth and distribution of bank loans, investments and deposits, and may also affect interest rates on loans and deposits. These policies may have a significant effect on the operating results of banks.
Bank holding companies may acquire banks and other bank holding companies located in any state in the United States without regard to geographic restrictions or reciprocity requirements imposed by state banking law. Banks may also establish interstate branch networks through acquisitions of and mergers with other banks. The establishment of de novo interstate branches or the acquisition of individual branches of a bank in another state (rather than the acquisition of an out-of-state bank in its entirety) is allowed only if specifically authorized by state law.
Michigan banking laws do not significantly restrict interstate banking. The Michigan Banking Code of 1999 permits, in appropriate circumstances and with the approval of the Office of Financial and Insurance Regulation, (1) acquisition of Michigan banks by FDIC-insured banks, savings banks or savings and loan associations located in other states, (2) sale by a Michigan bank of branches to an FDIC-insured bank, savings bank or savings and loan association located in a state in which a Michigan bank could purchase branches of the purchasing entity, (3) consolidation of Michigan banks and FDIC-insured banks, savings banks or savings and loan associations located in other states having laws permitting such consolidation, (4) establishment of branches in Michigan by FDIC-insured banks located in other states, the District of Columbia or U.S. territories or protectorates having laws permitting a Michigan bank to establish a branch in such jurisdiction, and ( 5) establishment by foreign banks of branches located in Michigan. A Michigan bank holding company may acquire a non-Michigan bank and a non-Michigan bank holding company may acquire a Michigan bank.
Environmental Regulations
In our business, we hold title on a temporary or permanent basis, to a number of parcels of real property. These include properties owned for branch offices and other business purposes and properties taken in or in lieu of foreclosure to satisfy loans in default. Under current federal laws, present and past owners of real property are exposed to liability for the cost of cleanup of contamination on or originating from those properties, even if they are wholly innocent of the actions that caused the contamination. These liabilities can be material and can exceed the value of the contaminated property. Although management is currently aware of no such environmental liabilities attributable to us or any of our properties, any such liabilities could have a material adverse effect on our capital expenditures, earnings, or competitive position.
Employees
As of December 31, 2009, Southern Michigan Bank employed 209 total employees equaling 196 full-time equivalent employees. Southern's only employees as of the same date were its four executive officers (all of whom were also employed by Southern Michigan Bank).
Statistical Information
Additional statistical information describing our business appears in the following pages and in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and in our consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in this report.
Southern acquired FNB Financial Corporation on December 1, 2007. Statistical information presented for 2009, 2008 and 2007 includes information for FNB Financial Corporation from the date of acquisition. Any comparison of information from 2009, 2008 or 2007 to information in previous years must consider that information for FNB Financial Corporation is not included in information presented for periods before December 1, 2007.

Risk Elements
The objective of our credit risk strategy is to quantify and manage credit risk on an aggregate portfolio basis, and to limit the risk of loss resulting from an individual customer default. This strategy has not changed over the past three years. Such strategy is based on three core principles: conservatism, diversification and monitoring. We believe that effective credit risk management begins with conservative lending practices. These practices include conservative underwriting, documentation, monitoring and collection standards. Our credit risk strategy also emphasizes diversification on an industry and customer level, regular credit examinations, and monthly management reviews of large credit exposures and credits experiencing deterioration of credit quality. Lending activities are centralized, with lending officers delegated specific authority amounts. We have annual independent reviews of the quality of our underwriting and documentation and the accuracy of risk gr ades.
Our credit review process and overall assessment of required allowances are based on ongoing quarterly assessments of the probable estimated losses inherent in our loan portfolio. We use these assessments to promptly identify potential problem loans within the portfolio, maintain an allowance for losses we believe to be adequate and take any necessary charge-offs. In addition to the individual review of larger commercial loans that exhibit probable or observed credit weaknesses, the commercial credit review includes the use of a risk grading system.
Loan originations are developed from a number of sources, including continuing business with depositors, borrowers and real estate developers, advertisements, solicitations by lending staff, walk-in customers, director referrals, and loan participations purchased from other financial institutions.
Commercial and agricultural loans. We make loans for commercial purposes to sole proprietorships, partnerships, corporations and other business enterprises. We make agricultural loans for the purpose of financing agricultural production, including all costs associated with growing crops or raising livestock. Commercial and agricultural loans may be secured, other than by real estate, or unsecured, requiring one single payment or on an installment repayment schedule. Commercial and agricultural loans generally have final maturities of five years or less and are made with either fixed interest rates or rates that adjust based upon the national prime rate in effect at the time of the rate change.
Commercial and agricultural lending involves certain risks relating to changes in local and national economic conditions and the resulting effect on commercial or agricultural borrowers. Such loans are subject to greater risk of default during periods of adverse economic conditions. Because such loans may be secured by equipment, inventory, accounts receivable and other non-real estate assets, the collateral may not be sufficient to ensure full payment of the loan in the event of a default. To reduce such risk, we may obtain the personal guarantees of one or more of the principals of the borrowers.
Real estate - commercial loans. We make non-residential real estate loans secured by first mortgages and/or junior mortgages on non-residential real estate, including retail stores, office buildings, warehouses, apartment buildings, and other commercial properties. These loans typically have a higher degree of risk than residential lending. The increased risk is due primarily to the dependence of the borrower on the cash flow from the property or the business operated on the property to service the loan.
Real estate - residential loans. We make residential real estate loans secured by first mortgages on one-to-four family residences, with a majority being single family residences. These loans are typically limited in relationship to the appraised value of the real estate and improvements at the time of origination of the loan.
Real estate - construction. Construction loans are made to finance land development before erecting new structures and to finance the construction of new buildings or additions to existing buildings. Many of the construction loans we make are to owner occupants for the construction of single family homes. Other loans we make are to builders and developers for various projects.
Consumer loans. We make a variety of consumer loans to individuals for family, household and other personal purposes. We make these loans for the purpose of financing the purchase of vehicles or furniture, educational expenses, medical expenses or vacation expenses, and other consumer purposes. Consumer loans may be secured, other than by real estate, or unsecured, generally requiring repayment on an installment repayment schedule.

Potential Problem Loans
At December 31, 2009, there were $37.9 million of loans where some concern existed as to the borrowers' abilities to comply with original loan terms. We allocated$1,550,000 in the aggregate for loan losses for nonperforming and potential problem loans as of December 31, 2009. However, our entire allowance for loan losses is also available for potential problem loans.
Loan Concentrations
As of December 31, 2009, there was no concentration of loans exceeding 10% of total loans which are not otherwise disclosed as a category of loans pursuant to Item III.A. of Industry Guide 3.

(1) | The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level which, in management's judgment, is believed to be adequate to absorb probable incurred loan losses in the portfolio. In assessing the adequacy of the allowance, management reviews the characteristics of the loan portfolio in order to determine overall quality and risk profiles. Some factors management considers in determining the level at which the allowance is maintained include a continuing evaluation of those loans identified as being subject to possible problems in collection, results of examination by regulatory agencies, current economic conditions, historical loan loss experience, loan volume, portfolio mix, concentrations of credit and lending policies, procedures, and personnel. |
|
|
| During 2009 management added $2.7 million to the allowance, during 2008 management added $5.1 million to the allowance and during 2007 management added $745,000 to the allowance. The provision reflects net charge off experience and the continued decline in the Michigan economy and the local real estate market. |

Item 1A. | Risk Factors |
Risks Related to Southern's Business
The state of financial markets and the economy may adversely affect our sources of liquidity and capital.
There has been significant recent turmoil and volatility in worldwide and national financial markets which is, at present, ongoing. These conditions have resulted in a disruption in the liquidity of financial markets, and could directly impact us if we need to access capital markets to raise capital to support our business and could impact our overall liquidity position. This situation could affect the cost of funds or our ability to raise funds. If we were unable to access capital or funding sources when needed, it could adversely impact our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and level of regulatory capital.
Restrictions on the Bank's ability to pay dividends subjects Southern to liquidity risk.
Southern's principal source of funds to pay cash dividends and to fund its corporate obligations is the earnings of and dividends paid by the Bank. Southern's corporate obligations include its obligation to pay interest and principal when and as due under its bank credit agreement, which is secured by a pledge of all of the stock of the Bank, and its obligation to pay interest and principal when due under its junior subordinated debt securities. If the Bank is unable to pay cash dividends to Southern in an amount sufficient to fund these obligations and Southern is unable to access liquidity from other sources, Southern may be unable to pay dividends and satisfy its other financial obligations. As of January 1, 2010, the Bank could pay $3.7 million of dividends to Southern without prior regulatory approval and Southern had limited liquid assets. Additional information related to the liquidity position of Southern may be found in Notes Q and R to the consolidated financia l statements.
The Bank is subject to liquidity risk in its operations, which could adversely affect its ability to fund various obligations.
Liquidity risk is the possibility of being unable to meet obligations as they come due, capitalize on growth opportunities as they arise, or pay regular dividends because of an inability to liquidate assets or obtain adequate funding on a timely basis, at a reasonable cost and within acceptable risk tolerances. Liquidity is required to fund various obligations, including credit obligations to borrowers, mortgage originations, withdrawals by depositors, repayment of debt, dividends to the Bank's shareholder, operating expenses and capital expenditures. The Bank's liquidity is derived primarily from retail deposit growth and retention, principal and interest payments on loans and investment securities, net cash provided from operation and access to other funding sources. Liquidity is essential to the Bank's business. The Bank must maintain sufficient funds to respond to the needs of depositors and borrowers.
An inability to raise funds through deposits, borrowings, the sale or pledging as collateral of loans and other assets could have a material adverse effect on the Bank's liquidity. The Bank's access to funding sources in amounts adequate to finance its activities could be impaired by factors that affect the Bank specifically or the financial services industry in general. Factors that could detrimentally impact the Bank's access to liquidity sources include a decrease in the level of the Bank's business activity due to a market down turn or regulatory action that limits or eliminates the Bank's access to alternate funding sources. The Bank's ability to borrow could also be impaired by factors that are nonspecific to the Bank, such as severe disruption of the financial markets or negative expectations about the prospects for the financial services industry as a whole, as evidenced by recent turmoil in the domestic and worldwide credit markets.
If the Transaction Account Guaranty Program of the FDIC's Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program expires on June 30, 2010 as currently scheduled, then the Bank could experience a significant reduction in uninsured deposits, which could adversely affect the Bank's liquidity position.
The Transaction Account Guaranty Program ("TAG") of the FDIC's Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program temporarily insured non-interest bearing deposits without limitation. TAG is schedule to expire on June 30, 2010 with insured levels on non-interest bearing deposits returning to normal levels. The Bank is a participant in TAG. If TAG expires as scheduled, the Bank could experience a significant reduction in previously insured but then uninsured deposits, which could adversely affect the Bank's liquidity position. Recent media reports indicate that the FDIC is considering extending TAG beyond June 30, 2010, but there is no assurance that the FDIC will do so.
If Southern's allowance for loan losses is not sufficient to cover actual loan losses, Southern's earnings could decrease.
Southern's loan customers may not repay their loans according to the terms of these loans, and the collateral securing the payment of these loans may be insufficient to assure repayment. Southern may experience significant loan losses, which could have a material adverse effect on its operating results. Southern's management makes various assumptions and judgments about the collectibility of Southern's loan portfolio, including the creditworthiness of its borrowers and the value of the real estate and other assets serving as collateral for the repayment of many of Southern's loans. Southern maintains an allowance for loan losses to cover loan losses that may occur. In determining the size of the allowance, Southern relies on an analysis of its loan portfolio based on historical loss experience, volume and types of loans, trends in classification, volume and trends in delinquencies and non-accruals, national and local economic conditions, and other pertinent information.
If Southern's assumptions are wrong, its current allowance may not be sufficient to cover loan losses, and adjustments may be necessary to allow for different economic conditions or adverse developments in Southern's loan portfolio. Material increases to Southern's allowance would materially decrease its net income and could materially decrease shareholders' equity.
In certain situations, where collection efforts are unsuccessful or acceptable work-out arrangements cannot be reached, Southern may have to write off certain loans in whole or in part. In such situations, Southern may acquire real estate or other assets, if any, which secure the loans through foreclosure or other similar available remedies. In such cases, the amount owed under the defaulted loan often exceeds the value of the assets acquired.
In addition, federal and state regulators periodically review Southern's allowance for loan losses and may require Southern to increase its provision for loan losses or recognize further loan charge-offs based on judgments different than those of Southern's management. Any increase in Southern's allowance for loan losses or loan charge-offs as required by these regulatory agencies could have a material negative effect on Southern's operating results and shareholders' equity.
Southern is subject to lending risk, which could materially adversely affect the Southern's results of operations and financial condition.
There are inherent risks associated with the Southern's lending activities. These risks include, among other things, the impact of changes in interest rates and changes in the economic conditions in the markets where Southern operates. Increases in interest rates or weakening economic conditions could adversely impact the ability of borrowers to repay outstanding loans or the value of the collateral securing these loans, which could have a material adverse effect on the Southern's results of operations and financial condition.
Southern's loan portfolio includes a substantial percentage of commercial and industrial loans, which may be subject to greater risks than those related to residential loans.
Southern's loan portfolio includes a substantial percentage of commercial and industrial loans. Commercial and industrial loans generally carry larger loan balances and involve a greater degree of financial and credit risks than home equity loans or residential mortgage loans. Any significant failure to pay on time by Southern's customers would hurt Southern's earnings. The increased financial and credit risk associated with these types of loans is a result of several factors, including the concentration of principal in a limited number of loans and borrowers, the size of loan balances, the effects of general economic conditions on income-producing properties, and the increased difficulty of evaluating and monitoring these types of loans. The repayment of loans secured by commercial real estate is typically dependent upon the successful operation of the related real estate or commercial project. If the cash flow from the project is reduced, the borrower's ability to repa y the loan may be impaired. This cash flow shortage may result in the failure to make loan payments. In such cases, Southern may be compelled to modify the terms of the loan. In addition, the nature of these loans is such that they are generally less predictable and more difficult to evaluate and monitor. As a result, repayment of these loans may, to a greater extent than residential loans, be subject to adverse conditions in the real estate market or economy.
Southern is subject to interest rate risk, which may negatively affect Southern's earnings and the value of its assets.
Southern's earnings and cash flows are largely dependent upon its net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between interest income earned on interest-earning assets, such as loans and securities, and interest expense paid on interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowed funds. Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors that are beyond Southern's control, including general economic conditions and policies of various governmental and regulatory agencies and, in particular, the Federal Reserve Board. Changes in monetary policy, including changes in interest rates, could influence the interest Southern receives on loans and securities and the amount of interest it pays on deposits and borrowings. Such changes could also affect Southern's ability to originate loans and obtain deposits and the fair value of Southern's financial assets and liabilities. If the interest rates paid on deposits and other borrowings increase at a faster rate than the interest rates received on loans and other investments, Southern's net interest income, and therefore earnings, could be adversely affected. Earnings could also be adversely affected if the interest rates received on loans and other investments fall more quickly than the interest rates paid on deposits and other borrowings.
Loss of Southern's Chief Executive Officer or other executive officers could adversely affect its business.
Southern's success is dependent upon the continued service and skills of its executive officers and senior management. If Southern loses the services of these key personnel, it could have a negative impact on Southern's business because of their skills, years of industry experience and the difficulty of promptly finding qualified replacement personnel. The services of John H. Castle, Southern's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Kurt G. Miller, Southern's President, and Danice L. Chartrand, Southern's Chief Financial Officer, would be particularly difficult to replace.
Southern's continued growth may require it to raise additional capital in the future, but that capital might not be available on acceptable terms when it is needed.
Southern is required by federal and state regulatory authorities to maintain adequate levels of capital to support its operations. Southern expects that it may need to raise additional capital to maintain its regulatory capital at desired levels or support its continued growth. Southern's ability to raise additional capital will depend on conditions in the capital markets at that time, which are outside Southern's control, and on its financial performance. Southern cannot assure you of its ability to raise additional capital on terms acceptable to Southern. If Southern cannot raise additional capital when needed, its ability to maintain assets at current levels or further expand its operations through organic growth and acquisitions could be materially impaired.
Southern's business is subject to the success of the local economies where it operates.
Southern's success significantly depends upon the economy, population, income levels, deposits and housing starts in the southwest Michigan market. If this market does not grow or if prevailing economic conditions
locally or nationally are unfavorable, Southern's business may be adversely affected. Adverse economic conditions in southern Michigan, including the loss of certain significant employers, could reduce Southern's growth rate, affect the ability of its customers to repay their loans to Southern, and generally adversely affect Southern's financial condition and results of operations. Southern is less able than a larger institution to spread the risks of unfavorable local economic conditions across a large number of diversified economies.
Any adverse market or economic conditions in Michigan may disproportionately increase the risk that Southern's borrowers are unable to make their loan payments. In addition, the market value of the real estate securing loans as collateral could be adversely affected by unfavorable changes in market and economic conditions. A sustained period of increased payment delinquencies, foreclosures or losses caused by adverse market or economic conditions in the State of Michigan could adversely affect the value of Southern's assets, revenues, results of operations and financial condition.
Commercial banks and other financial institutions are affected by economic and political conditions, both domestic and international, and by governmental monetary policies. Conditions such as inflation, recession, unemployment, high interest rates, short money supply, scarce natural resources, international disorders, terrorism and other factors beyond Southern's control may adversely affect profitability.
Southern may be required to pay additional insurance premiums to the FDIC, which could negatively impact earnings.
Recent insured institution failures, as well as deterioration in banking and economic conditions, have significantly increased FDIC loss provisions, resulting in a decline in the designated reserve ratio to historical lows. The FDIC expects a higher rate of insured institution failures in the next few years compared to recent years; thus, the reserve ratio may continue to decline. In addition, the limit on FDIC coverage has been increased to $250,000 through December 31, 2013. These developments have caused the premiums assessed to Southern by the FDIC to increase. Further, depending upon any future losses that the FDIC insurance fund may suffer, there can be no assurance that there will not be additional premium increases in order to replenish the fund. The FDIC may need to set a higher base rate schedule or impose special assessments due to future financial institution failures and updated failure and loss projections. In addition, a decline in the Bank's CAMEL ratings could subject Southern to increased FDIC insurance premiums. Potentially higher FDIC assessment rates could have an adverse impact on Southern's results of operations.
Southern could be adversely affected by the soundness of other financial institutions, including defaults by larger financial institutions.
Southern's ability to engage in routine funding transactions could be adversely affected by the actions and commercial soundness of other financial institutions. Financial services institutions are interrelated as a result of credit, trading, clearing, counterparty or other relationships between financial institutions. Southern has exposure to different counterparties, and Southern routinely executes transactions with counterparties in the financial industry. As a result, defaults by, or even rumors or questions about, one or more financial services institutions, or the financial services industry generally, have led to market-wide liquidity problems and could lead to losses or defaults by Southern or by other institutions. This is sometimes referred to as "systemic risk" and may adversely affect financial intermediaries, such as clearing agencies, clearing houses, banks, securities firms and exchanges, with which Southern interacts on a daily basis, and therefore could adversely affect Southern.
Many of these transactions expose Southern to credit risk in the event of default of a counterparty. In addition, Southern's credit risk may be exacerbated when the collateral held by Southern cannot be realized upon or is liquidated at prices not sufficient to recover the full amount of the financial instrument exposure due to Southern. There is no assurance that any such losses would not materially and adversely affect Southern's business, results of operations or financial condition.
Prepayments of loans may negatively impact Southern's business.
Generally, customers of Southern may prepay the principal amount of their outstanding loans at any time. The speed at which such prepayments occur, as well as the size of such prepayments, are within such customers' discretion. If customers prepay the principal amount of their loans, and Southern is unable to lend those funds to other borrowers or invest the funds at the same or higher interest rates, Southern's interest income will be reduced. A
significant reduction in interest income could have a negative impact on Southern's results of operations and financial condition.
Competition from competing financial institutions and other financial service providers may adversely affect Southern's profitability.
The banking business is highly competitive and Southern experiences competition in each of its markets from many other financial institutions. Southern competes with commercial banks, credit unions, savings and loan associations, mortgage banking firms, consumer finance companies, securities brokerage firms, insurance companies, money market funds, and other mutual funds, as well as other super-regional, and national financial institutions that operate offices in Southern's primary market areas and elsewhere. In addition, some of the institutions that Southern competes against are not subject to the same regulatory restrictions as Southern, and accordingly, may have certain, inherent, cost advantages.
Southern competes with these institutions both in attracting deposits and in making loans. Price competition for loans might result in Southern originating fewer loans, or earning less on its loans, and price competition for deposits might result in a decrease in Southern's total deposits or higher rates on its deposits. In addition, Southern has to attract its customer base from other existing financial institutions and from new residents. Many of Southern's competitors are larger financial institutions. While Southern believes it can and does successfully compete with these other financial institutions in its primary markets, Southern may face a competitive disadvantage as a result of its smaller size, lack of geographic diversification, and inability to spread its marketing costs across a broader market. Although Southern competes by concentrating its marketing efforts in its primary markets with local advertisements, personal contacts, and greater flexibility and res ponsiveness in working with local customers, Southern can give no assurance that this strategy will be successful.
Southern is subject to extensive regulation that could limit or restrict its activities.
Southern operates in a highly regulated industry and is subject to examination, supervision, and comprehensive regulation by various federal and state agencies. Southern's compliance with these regulations is costly and restricts certain of its activities, including payment of dividends, mergers and acquisitions, investments, loans and interest rates charged, interest rates paid on deposits and locations of offices. Southern is also subject to capitalization guidelines established by its regulators, which require Southern to maintain adequate capital to support its growth.
The laws and regulations applicable to the banking industry could change at any time, and Southern cannot predict the effects of these changes on its business and profitability. Because government regulation greatly affects the business and financial results of all commercial banks and bank holding companies, Southern's cost of compliance could adversely affect its ability to operate profitably.
Future claims could be made against Southern or Southern Michigan Bank related to their relationship with Alanar, Inc. and its affiliates.
Southern Michigan Bank previously served as indenture trustee and also was the depository bank in connection with certain bond offerings underwritten by Alanar, Inc. Southern Michigan Bank also was party to an agreement with Guardian Services, LLC, an affiliate of Alanar, Inc., to provide fiduciary oversight services related to the custodianship of certain individual retirement accounts that invested in bonds underwritten by Alanar, Inc. On July 26, 2005, the SEC obtained a court order freezing all assets under the control of Alanar, Inc., Guardian Services, LLC, and their affiliates, including all accounts at Southern Michigan Bank. Alanar, Inc., Guardian Services, LLC, and their affiliates have been under court-appointed monitorship since July 26, 2005 and in receivership since December 20, 2005. The SEC and the receiver alleged that Alanar, Inc., Guardian Services, LLC, and their affiliates engaged in fraud and other improper conduct to hide bond defaults in connectio n with over 340 bond offerings. Southern Michigan Bank has not served as indenture trustee since November 16, 2006, when the court approved the removal of Southern Michigan Bank as trustee so that the receiver could assume this role to promote efficiency in the administration of the receivership. No claims with respect to this matter have been filed against Southern or Southern Michigan Bank by any person or entity. There can be no assurance, however, that Southern or Southern Michigan Bank will not be subject to future claims arising out of their relationship with Alanar, Inc. and Guardian Services, LLC. Protracted litigation or an adverse decision or settlement of any such action or
proceeding could have a material adverse effect on the financial position, business, prospects, and results of operation of Southern or Southern Michigan Bank.
Evaluation of investment securities for other-than-temporary impairment involvessubjective determinations and could materially impact Southern's results of operations and financial condition.
The evaluation of impairments is a quantitative and qualitative process, which is subject to risks and uncertainties and is intended to determine whether declines in the fair value of investments should be recognized in current period earnings. The risks and uncertainties include changes in general economic conditions, the issuer's financial condition or future recovery prospects, the effects of changes in interest rates or credit spreads and the expected recovery period. Estimating future cash flows involves incorporating information received from third-party sources and making internal assumptions and judgments regarding the future performance of the underlying collateral and assessing the probability that an adverse change in future cash flows has occurred. The determination of the amount of other-than-temporary impairments is based upon Southern's periodic evaluation and assessment of known and inherent risks associated with the respective asset class. Such evaluatio ns and assessments are revised as conditions change and new information becomes available. Southern's management considers a wide range of factors about the security issuer and uses its reasonable judgment in evaluating the cause of the decline in the estimated fair value of the security and in assessing the prospects for recovery. Inherent in management's evaluation of the security are assumptions and estimates about the operations of the issuer and its future earnings potential. Impairments to the carrying value of our investment securities may need to be taken in the future, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
If Southern is required to write down goodwill and other intangible assets, its financial condition and results of operations would be negatively affected.
A substantial portion of the value of the merger consideration paid in connection with the merger of FNB Financial Corporation was allocated to goodwill and other intangible assets on Southern's consolidated balance sheets. The amount of the purchase price that is allocated to goodwill and other intangible assets is determined by the excess of the purchase price over the net identifiable assets acquired. Southern is required to conduct an annual review to determine whether goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets are impaired.
Goodwill is tested for impairment annually in the fourth quarter. An impairment test also could be triggered between annual testing dates if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value below the carrying amount. Examples of those events or circumstances would include a significant adverse change in business climate; a significant unanticipated loss of clients/assets under management; an unanticipated loss of key personnel; a sustained period of poor investment performance; a significant loss of deposits or loans; a significant reduction in profitability; or a significant change in loan credit quality.
Southern cannot assure you that it will not be required to take an impairment charge in the future. Any material impairment charge would have a negative effect on Southern's financial results and shareholders' equity.
If Southern is required to take a valuation allowance with respect to its deferred tax assets, its financial condition and results of operations would be negatively affected.
Southern's net deferred tax asset was $1.76 million at December 31, 2009. A valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets is required when it is considered more likely than not that all or part of the benefit related to such assets will not be realized. A valuation allowance of $54,000 was considered necessary at December 31, 2009 and 2008 as the likelihood of receiving a tax benefit on a portion of the capital loss on the write off of an investment was considered doubtful. If Southern is required in the future to take one or more additional valuation allowances with respect to its deferred tax assets, its financial condition and results of operations would be negatively affected.
If Southern is required to take a valuation allowance with respect to its mortgage servicing rights, its financial condition and results of operations would be negatively affected.
Southern's mortgage servicing rights were $753,000 at December 31, 2009. No valuation allowance for capitalized mortgage servicing rights was necessary at December 31, 2009 or 2008 because the fair value of such rights approximated or exceeded the carrying value. If Southern is required in the future to take a valuation
allowance with respect to its mortgage servicing rights, its financial condition and results of operations would be negatively affected.
Southern depends upon the accuracy and completeness of information about customers.
In deciding whether to extend credit to customers, Southern may rely on information provided to it by its customers, including financial statements and other financial information. Southern may also rely on representations of customers as to the accuracy and completeness of that information and, with respect to financial statements, on reports of independent auditors. Southern's financial condition and results of operations could be negatively impacted to the extent that Southern extends credit in reliance on financial statements or other information provided by customers that is false or misleading.
Southern may be a defendant in a variety of litigation and other actions, which may have a material adverse effect on Southern's financial condition and results of operations.
Southern and its subsidiaries may be involved from time to time in a variety of litigation arising out of its business. Southern's insurance may not cover all claims that may be asserted against it, and any claims asserted against it, regardless of merit or eventual outcome, may harm its reputation or cause it to incur unexpected expenses, which could be material in amount. Should the ultimate expenses, judgments or settlements in any litigation exceed Southern's insurance coverage, they could have a material adverse effect on Southern's financial condition and results of operations. In addition, Southern may not be able to obtain appropriate types or levels of insurance in the future, nor may it be able to obtain adequate replacement policies with acceptable terms, if at all. For additional information on legal matters, see Item 3 of this report.
Environmental liability associated with commercial lending could result in losses.
In the course of its business, Southern may acquire, through foreclosure, properties securing loans it has originated or purchased that are in default. Particularly in commercial real estate lending, there is a risk that hazardous substances could be discovered on these properties. In this event, Southern might be required to remove these substances from the affected properties at Southern's sole cost and expense. The cost of this removal could substantially exceed the value of affected properties. Southern may not have adequate remedies against the prior owner or other responsible parties and could find it difficult or impossible to sell the affected properties. These events could have an adverse effect on Southern's business, results of operations and financial condition.
Attractive acquisition opportunities may not be available to Southern in the future, which may negatively impact Southern's ability to grow its business and effectively compete in existing and new markets.
Southern will continue to consider the acquisition of other businesses. However, Southern may not have the opportunity to make suitable acquisitions on favorable terms in the future. Southern expects that other banking and financial companies, many of which have significantly greater resources than Southern does, will compete with Southern to acquire compatible businesses. This competition could increase prices for acquisitions that Southern might likely pursue. Also, acquisitions of regulated businesses, such as banks, are subject to various regulatory approvals. Failure to maintain regulatory compliance with the various regulations applicable to Southern could make regulatory approvals difficult to obtain. If Southern fails to receive the appropriate regulatory approvals, Southern will not be able to consummate an acquisition that Southern believes is in its best interests.
Southern may face risks with respect to future expansion and acquisitions or mergers, which include substantial acquisition costs, an inability to effectively integrate an acquired business into Southern's operations, lower than anticipated profit levels, and economic dilution to shareholders.
Southern may seek to acquire other financial institutions or parts of those institutions and may engage in de novo branch expansion in the future. Southern may also consider and enter into new lines of business or offer new products or services. Southern may incur substantial costs to expand. An expansion may not result in the levels of profits it seeks or levels of profits comparable to or better than Southern's historical experience. Integration efforts for any future mergers or acquisitions may not be successful, which could have a material adverse effect on Southern's operations and financial condition. Also, Southern may issue equity securities, including Southern common stock and securities convertible into shares of Southern common stock, in connection with future acquisitions, which could cause ownership and economic dilution to its current shareholders.
Changes in accounting standards could impact Southern's reported earnings.
Current accounting and tax rules, standards, policies and interpretations influence the methods by which financial institutions conduct business and govern financial reporting and disclosures. These laws, regulations, rules, standards, policies and interpretations are constantly evolving and may change significantly over time. Events that may not have a direct impact on Southern, such as bankruptcy of major U.S. companies, have resulted in legislators, regulators, and authoritative bodies, such as the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the Securities Exchange Commission, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and various taxing authorities, responding by adopting and/or proposing substantive revision to laws, regulations, rules, standards, policies and interpretations. New accounting pronouncements and varying interpretations of accounting pronouncements have occurred and may occur in the future. Southern's financial condition and results of operations may be a dversely affected by a change in accounting standards.
We continually encounter technological change, and we may have fewer resources than our competitors to continue to invest in technological improvements.
The banking industry is undergoing rapid technological changes with frequent introductions of new technology-driven products and services. In addition to better serving customers, the effective use of technology increases efficiency and enables financial institutions to reduce costs. Our future success will depend, in part, on our ability to address the needs of our customers by using technology to provide products and services that will satisfy customer demands for convenience as well as to create additional efficiencies in our operations. Many of our competitors have substantially greater resources to invest in technological improvements. There can be no assurance that we will be able to effectively implement new technology-driven products and services or be successful in marketing such products and services to our customers.
Southern's controls and procedures may fail or be circumvented.
Management regularly reviews and updates Southern's internal controls, disclosure controls and procedures, and corporate governance policies and procedures. Any system of controls, however well designed and operated, is based in part on certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurances that the objectives of the system are met. Any failure or circumvention of Southern's controls and procedures or failure to comply with regulations related to controls and procedures could have a material adverse effect on Southern's business, results of operations and financial condition.
Risks Associated with Southern Common Stock
There is not an active public trading market for Southern common stock.
Southern common stock is traded in the OTC Bulletin Board market. Transactions in the stock are relatively infrequent. Southern does not expect an active trading market for Southern common stock to develop in the near future.
Southern's ability to pay dividends is limited and Southern may be unable to pay future dividends.
Southern's ability to pay dividends is limited by regulatory restrictions and the need to maintain sufficient consolidated capital. The ability of the Bank to pay dividends to Southern is limited by its obligations to maintain sufficient capital and by other general restrictions on dividends that are applicable to the Bank. If Southern or its subsidiary banks do not satisfy these regulatory requirements, Southern would be unable to continue to pay dividends on its common stock. As of January 1, 2010, the Bank was able to pay $3.7 million in dividends to Southern without prior regulatory approval. Additional information on restrictions on payment of dividends by the banks may be found under "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and Note Q of our consolidated financial statements, which information is here incorporated by reference.
Southern may issue additional shares of its common stock in the future, which would dilute a shareholder's ownership of Southern common stock if the shareholder did not, or was not permitted to, invest in the additional issuances.
Southern's articles of incorporation authorize its board of directors, without shareholder approval, to, among other things, issue additional common stock. The issuance of any additional shares of Southern common stock could be substantially dilutive to a shareholder's ownership of Southern common stock. To the extent that Southern issues convertible securities, stock appreciation rights, options or warrants to purchase Southern common stock in the future and those convertible securities, stock appreciation rights, options or warrants are exercised, Southern's shareholders may experience further dilution. Holders of shares of Southern common stock have no preemptive rights that entitle holders to purchase their pro rata share of any offering of shares of any class or series and, therefore, Southern's shareholders may not be permitted to invest in future issuances of Southern common stock.
Southern may issue debt and equity securities that are senior to Southern common stock as to distributions and in liquidation, which could negatively affect the value of Southern common stock.
In the future, Southern may attempt to increase its capital resources by entering into debt or debt-like financing that is unsecured or secured by all or up to all of Southern's assets, or issuing debt or equity securities, which could include issuances of secured or unsecured commercial paper, medium-term notes, senior notes, subordinated notes, preferred stock or common stock. In the event of Southern's liquidation, its lenders and holders of its debt securities would receive a distribution of Southern's available assets before distributions to the holders of Southern common stock. Because Southern's decision to incur debt and issue securities in future offerings will depend on market conditions and other factors beyond Southern's control, Southern cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing or nature of its future offerings and debt financings. Further, market conditions could require Southern to accept less favorable terms for the issuance of its securities in the future. Thus, shareholders will bear the risk of Southern's future offerings reducing the value of their shares of Southern common stock and diluting their interest in Southern.
Unless a shareholder obtains prior consent from Southern, the shareholder will not be permitted to transfer to another party the shareholder's shares of Southern common stock if the party who would receive the shares would own of record fewer than 100 shares of Southern common stock.
Southern's articles of incorporation provide that a shareholder may not transfer shares of Southern common stock without the consent of Southern, if, as a result of an attempted transfer, the party who would receive the shares would own fewer than 100 shares of Southern common stock. "Transfer" means any type of disposition, including a sale, gift, contribution, pledge, or other action that results in a change of record ownership of any share of Southern common stock. Southern may withhold its consent in its discretion. This restriction will limit the transferability of shares of Southern common stock and, unless a shareholder obtains Southern's prior consent, the shareholder will be prohibited from transferring fewer than 100 shares of Southern common stock if the party who would receive the shares would own of record fewer than 100 shares of Southern common stock.

Item 3. | Legal Proceedings |
As of March 26, 2010, there were no material pending legal proceedings to which Southern or any of its subsidiaries were a party or to which any of their properties were subject, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business of Southern and its subsidiaries.
Alanar, Inc.
From approximately December 2001 through November 16, 2006, Southern Michigan Bank served as the indenture trustee on 49 bond offerings that were underwritten by Alanar, Inc. ("Alanar"), an Indiana broker-dealer firm specializing in bond offerings by churches. Southern Michigan Bank also served as the depository bank in connection with these 49 offerings, as well as an additional 35 bond offerings underwritten by Alanar for which Southern Michigan Bank was not the indenture trustee. Southern Michigan Bank also was party to an agreement dated December 27, 2000 with Guardian Services, LLC ("Guardian"), an affiliate of Alanar, pursuant to which Southern Michigan Bank agreed to provide fiduciary oversight services to Guardian and Guardian agreed to provide accounting, reporting and custodial services for individual retirement accounts.
On July 26, 2005, the SEC obtained a court order freezing all assets under the control of Alanar, Guardian and their affiliates, including all accounts at Southern Michigan Bank. On October 5, 2005, the SEC issued an order finding that the defendants made misrepresentations to investors and misused investment proceeds from church bond issuances and the sale of bond investment fund units. The SEC revoked Alanar's registration as a broker and dealer and barred certain control persons from associating with any broker or dealer. Alanar, Guardian and their affiliates have been under court-appointed monitorship since July 26, 2005 and in receivership since December 20, 2005.
In June 2006, the receiver filed a motion to have Southern Michigan Bank removed as indenture trustee for the purpose of avoiding inefficiencies and duplication of effort by both the receiver and Southern Michigan Bank. On November 17, 2006, pursuant to the receiver's unopposed motion, the court approved the removal of Southern Michigan Bank as indenture trustee for all bond offerings based upon the court's finding that "in light of the terms of the Receivership Order, as amended, Southern Michigan Bank is incapable of acting as trustee."
On August 28, 2007, the court approved a plan for future distribution of the receivership assets. The court also issued certain findings of fact and conclusions of law, including finding that the offering documents prepared by Alanar to sell the bonds contained misrepresentations and omissions of material facts necessary for investors to make informed investment decisions. The court also found that there was inappropriate manipulation and commingling of funds, and that the failure to disclose this manipulation and commingling had all the essential elements of a Ponzi scheme. The receiver continues to administer the receivership assets pursuant to court approved plans for the receivership.
No claims have been filed against Southern or Southern Michigan Bank by any bondholder, bond issuer, individual retirement account holder, the receiver, any governmental agency or any other person related to Southern Michigan Bank's former role as indenture trustee or Southern Michigan Bank's role as depository bank or in any other capacity related to these matters. There can be no assurance, however, that Southern or Southern Michigan Bank will not be subject to future claims, actions, suits or proceedings, including potential claims that our conduct was in breach of contractual, fiduciary or other duties or applicable statutes or regulations, or that, if made, Southern or Southern Michigan Bank would be successful in defending such claims. Protracted litigation or an adverse decision or settlement of any such action or proceeding could have a material adverse effect on the financial position, business, prospects and results of operations of Southern or Southern Michiga n Bank.

Southern's principal source of funds to pay cash dividends is the earnings of and dividends paid by the Bank. The Bank is restricted in its ability to pay cash dividends under current laws and regulations. For additional information on restrictions on dividends, see Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Note Q to the Southern consolidated financial statements, which information is here incorporated by reference. Limitations on the ability of the Bank to pay cash dividends to Southern could limit Southern's ability to pay dividends in the future.

Item 7. | Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
The following discussion is designed to provide a review of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of Southern and SMB&T. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes to the consolidated financial statements.
Economic Trends
The global and U.S. economies are experiencing significantly reduced business activity as a result of, among other factors, disruptions in the financial system during the past two years. Dramatic declines in the housing market during this time, along with falling home prices and increasing foreclosures and unemployment, have resulted in significant write-downs of asset values by financial institutions, including government-sponsored entities and major commercial and investment banks. These write-downs, initially of residential-related loans and mortgage-backed securities, but spreading to credit default swaps and other derivative securities, have caused many financial institutions to seek additional capital, to merge with larger and stronger institutions and, in some cases, to fail. Reflecting concern about the stability of the financial markets, many national and regional lenders have reduced, and in some cases, ceased to provide funding to borrowers, including other fi nancial institutions. The availability of credit, confidence in the financial sector, and level of volatility in the financial markets have been significantly adversely affected as a result.
Market Developments
Substantially all of the deposits of the Bank are insured up to applicable limits by the Deposit Insurance Fund ("DIF") of the FDIC and are subject to deposit insurance assessments to maintain the DIF. The FDIC utilizes a risk-based assessment system that imposes insurance premiums based upon a matrix that takes into account a bank's capital level and supervisory rating.
On February 27, 2009, the FDIC adopted a final rule modifying the risk-based assessment system and setting initial base assessment rates beginning April 1, 2009, at 12 to 45 basis points; and due to extraordinary circumstances, extended the time within which the reserve ratio must be returned to 1.15 percent from five to seven years. On May 22, 2009, the FDIC adopted a final rule imposing a 5 basis point special assessment on each insured depository institution's assets minus Tier 1 capital as of June 30, 2009. The Bank incurred expenses of $217,000 as a result of the special assessment in the second quarter of 2009.
On November 12, 2009, the FDIC amended its regulations requiring certain insured institutions to prepay their estimated quarterly risk-based assessments for the fourth quarter of 2009, and for all of 2010, 2011, and 2012. The prepaid assessment for these periods was collected on December 30, 2009, along with each institution's regular quarterly risk-based deposit insurance assessment for the third quarter of 2009. The total amount of FDIC prepayments for the Bank was $2.4 million. The prepayment relating to 2010-2012 has been treated as a prepaid expense on the books of SMB&T, and will be recognized as expense in the period for which the assessments are effective.
Results of Operations
Southern's net income for 2009 was $1,936,000 compared to $813,000 in 2008, an increase of $1,123,000, or 138.1%. Provision for loan losses in the amount of $2,725,000 was expensed in 2009; down from $5,080,000 in 2008. Non-interest income of Southern, increased 12.7% to $7,172,000 in 2009. Non-interest expense of $18,970,000 in 2009 was equal to the 2008 expense.

Results of operations can be measured by various ratio analyses. Two widely recognized performance indicators are return on average equity and return on average assets. Southern's return on average equity was 4.29% in 2009, 1.77% in 2008 and 12.72% in 2007. The return on average assets was 0.41 % in 2009, 0.17% in 2008 and 1.18% in 2007.
Acquisition of FNB Financial Corporation and Consolidation of Banks
On December 1, 2007, Southern acquired FNB Financial Corporation. The 2009 and 2008 results of operations include twelve months of combined financial results. The 2007 results of operations include one month of combined financial results after completion of the acquisition. The 2009 and 2008 year end balance sheets include all of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed from FNB Financial Corporation. Therefore, a comparison of 2008 to 2007 results of operations is materially affected as a result of the acquisition. For more detailed information concerning the acquisition, see Note C to the consolidated financial statements.
In April 2009, FNB Financial (formerly, The First National Bank of Three Rivers) was consolidated with and into SMB&T.
Net Interest Income
Interest income is the total amount earned on funds invested in loans, investment securities and federal funds sold. Interest expense is the amount of interest paid on interest bearing checking and savings accounts, time deposits, short term advances, subordinated debentures and other long-term borrowings. Net interest income, on a fully taxable equivalent (FTE) basis, is the difference between interest income and interest expense adjusted for the tax benefit received on tax-exempt loan and investment securities. Net interest margin is calculated by dividing net interest income (FTE) by average interest earning assets. Net interest spread is the difference between the average yield on interest earning assets and the average cost of interest bearing liabilities. Because non-interest bearing sources of funds also support earning assets, the net interest margin exceeds the net interest spread.
The presentation of net interest income on a FTE basis is not in accordance with GAAP but is customary in the banking industry. This non-GAAP measure ensures comparability of net interest income arising from both taxable and tax-exempt loans and investment securities. The adjustments to determine tax equivalent net interest income are itemized in Table 1 below.
Net interest income is the most important source of Southern's earnings. Changes in Southern's net interest income are influenced by a number of factors, including changes in the level of interest earning assets, changes in the mix of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, the level and direction of interest rates and the steepness of the yield curve.
For 2009, Southern's net interest margin (FTE) was 4.14% compared to 4.36% for 2008 and 4.83% for 2007. Beginning with a 50 basis point drop in September 2007, the Federal Reserve began a campaign of decreasing overnight borrowing rates to stimulate the economy. Through December 2008, the Federal Reserve had decreased the overnight borrowing rate 5%, to its lowest level of all time, a range of 0% to .25%. For the entire year of 2009, these rate decreases impacted Southern's net interest margin. Southern's interest rate spread and margin both further decreased as yields on earning assets decreased 0.86%, from 6.31% to 5.45%, while deposit yields were down 0.71%, from 2.20% to 1.49%.
In 2009, the lower interest margin resulted in $1,256,000 less net interest income than in 2008. The 2009 decrease was a result of lower rates being in effect for the entire year and reduced balances in loans and investment securities. Despite the lower net interest margin in 2008 and 2007, net interest income increased during both years by $3,055,000 and $508,000, respectively. The increase in both years primarily resulted from the acquisition of FNB.
The 2008 increase was a result of $2,606,000 improvement in interest income and $449,000 reduction of interest expense. The increase in interest income was the result of $104.1 million of additional average earning assets, primarily from FNB, which was enough to overcome the rate decrease. Despite adding $103.6 million of average interest bearing deposits, primarily from FNB, interest expense decreased $449,000 in 2008 as Southern closely monitored deposit rates.
The following table presents a summary of net interest income (FTE) for 2009, 2008 and 2007.

The next table sets forth for the periods indicated a summary of changes in interest income and interest expense, based upon a tax equivalent basis, resulting from changes in volume and changes in rates:
Volume Variance - change in volume multiplied by the previous year's rate.
Rate Variance - change in rate multiplied by the previous year's volume.
Rate/Volume Variance - change in volume multiplied by the change in rate. This variance was allocated to volume variance and rate variance in proportion to the relationship of the absolute dollar amount of the change in each.

Provision for Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses is based on an analysis of the required additions to the allowance for loan losses. The provision is charged to income to bring the allowance for loan losses to a level believed adequate by management to absorb probable incurred losses in the loan portfolio. Some factors considered by management in determining the level at which the allowance is maintained include specific credit reviews, historical loan loss experience, current economic conditions and trends, results of examinations by regulatory agencies and the volume, growth and composition of the loan portfolio. The provision is adjusted quarterly to reflect changes in the factors above, as well as actual charge-off experience and any known losses. For further information, see "Allowance for Loan Losses" below.
The provision for loan losses was $2,725,000 in 2009, compared to $5,080,000 in 2008 and $745,000 in 2007. The 2009 provision for loan losses was lower than the 2008 provision due primarily to reduced specific reserves required in 2009 as a result of the level of charge-offs in 2009 and a reduction in nonperforming loans at December 31, 2009.
During 2009, real estate mortgage net charge-offs increased $1,360,000 to $2,058,000, or 196.0%, over 2008 levels. In 2008, the increase was 554.7%, or $588,000, over 2007 levels. Prior to the current economic
difficulties faced in Michigan, as well as around the country, losses on residential real estate were less frequent. Depressed real estate values have significantly impacted loss levels.
During 2008, the provision was increased to account for higher specific reserves and increased charge-offs. In July 2008, a change in management at FNB occurred. New management rehired a special assets manager and began re-analyzing potential problem credits in the portfolio. As of December 31, 2008, specific reserves totaling $3,308,000 were identified. In addition, during the fourth quarter of 2008, a large commercial credit was charged-off. The results of these actions were a fourth quarter provision for loan losses of $2,350,000.
In 2007, the provision for loan losses reflected net charge-off experience, the growth of the commercial portfolio and the continued decline in the Michigan economy and the local real estate market. Net charge-offs were $349,000 for 2007. Commercial loans increased $52 million in 2007 with approximately $43 million coming from the FNB acquisition.
Non-Interest Income
Non-interest income increased $809,000, or 12.7%, in 2009 and $2,222,000, or 53.7%, in 2008. The 2009 increase was primarily a result of $682,000 of net securities gains being recorded during the year compared to $15,000 in 2008. The 2008 increase was due to the acquisition of FNB, which provided $2,255,000 of non-interest income in 2008.
In order to reduce the risk associated with changing interest rates, Southern regularly sells fixed rate real estate mortgage loans in the secondary market. Southern recognizes a profit at the time of the sale. Southern originated real estate mortgage loans of $41,586,000 in 2009 compared to $17,455,000 in 2008 and $17,015,000 during 2007. Net gains on loan sales increased $420,000 in 2009 as early in the year rates moved lower causing an increase in refinancing. Net gains on loan sales decreased $54,000 in 2008 as residential mortgage refinancing activity declined as rates moved up from 2004 historic lows.
Net securities gains of $682,000, $15,000 and $13,000 were recognized in 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. During 2009, Southern sold $26.4 million of securities which significantly reduced the level of mortgage-backed securities it held.
Trust fees were down 9.4%, or $103,000, in 2009 compared to the 2008. This decline in income reflected a decline in market value of assets managed despite an increase in new accounts. Trust fees increased in 2008 compared to 2007, primarily due to the FNB acquisition.
In 2008, Southern recorded a $390,000 gain from life insurance proceeds.
Non-Interest Expense
Non-interest expenses were flat in 2009 and increased $6,237,000, or 49.0%, in 2008.
Salaries and employee benefits expense decreased $780,000, or 7.4%, comparing 2009 to 2008 and increased $2,930,000 or 38.3% comparing 2008 to 2007. Southern has been able to reduce staff in 2009 through attrition and has reduced contributions to the 401(k) plan. At December 31, 2009, Southern had 196 full-time equivalent positions compared to 202 at December 31, 2008. Effective December 31, 2009, The Southern Michigan Bank & Trust Pension Plan was fully frozen. The plan was partially frozen in 2006 for participants who did not meet certain age and years of service requirements. Participants who met the age and years of service requirements continued accruing benefits until the plan was fully frozen in 2009. The curtailment gain was entirely used to offset the unrecognized net actuarial loss; and therefore, there was no impact of this gain on net income.
The 2008 increase in salaries and employee benefits was mainly attributable to a larger workforce following the FNB acquisition. The FNB acquisition added 60 full time equivalent employees in December 2007, which added $247,000 of salaries and benefits expense.
Equipment expense decreased $317,000 in 2009 compared to 2008. Depreciation expense declined in 2009 compared to 2008 as certain assets became fully depreciated. Occupancy expense and equipment expense in 2008 increased $429,000 and $395,000, respectively, over 2007. The increases were primarily due to the increase in number of locations following the acquisition of FNB.
Printing, postage and supplies decreased $44,000 in 2009 compared to 2008. These costs increased in 2008 over 2007 resulting from the FNB acquisition.
Professional and outside services decreased $221,000 in 2009 over 2008 and increased $828,000 in 2008 over 2007. The decrease in 2009 resulted from Southern being able to reduce fees paid for outside consulting relating to system conversions. $618,000 of the 2008 increase related to FNB activity. The remaining 2008 increase primarily reflected increases in auditing and legal fees relating to being an SEC reporting company.
Amortization of intangibles was flat in 2009, but increased $343,000 in 2008 compared to 2007 due to amortization of the core deposit intangible asset from the FNB acquisition.
ATM expense increased $224,000 in 2009 and $145,000 in 2008. The 2009 increase was a result of conversion costs incurred relating to converting FNB and SMB&T ATM processing to a common system.
FDIC insurance expense increased $676,000, or 377.7%, in 2009 as a result of increased premiums. 2009 was also impacted by a second quarter special assessment against all FDIC insured depository institutions and the elimination of credits at the end of 2008. The 2008 increase was due to the FNB acquisition.
Other real estate owned expense and loss on other real estate owned both increased in 2008 and 2009. The 2008 increase is due partially to the acquisition of FNB, but also, as with the 2009 increase, due to the depressed real estate market which has resulted in a significant increase in the number of properties held by Southern.
Income Taxes
Income taxes were an expense of $79,000 in 2009, a credit of $760,000 in 2008, and an expense of $1,436,000 in 2007. Because of the significant decline in 2008 income before income taxes, a federal income tax credit resulted for 2008 after consideration of tax-exempt interest income, non-taxable life insurance income and other normal tax reconciling items. Tax-exempt income continues to have a major impact on Southern's tax expense. The benefit offsetting lower coupon rates on municipal instruments is the nontaxable feature of the income earned on such instruments. This resulted in a lower effective tax rate and reduced federal income tax expense by approximately $351,000 in 2009, $363,000 in 2008, and $234,000 in 2007.
The information under Note L to the consolidated financial statements is here incorporated by reference.
Financial Condition
Total assets at December 31, 2009 totaled $462,409,000, a decrease of $12,587,000, or 2.6%, from December 31, 2008. Cash and cash equivalents decreased $3,175,000 and investments decreased $8,770,000 compared to December 31, 2008, due to $14.2 million of non-core deposits being eliminated from the balance sheet in the first quarter of 2009.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents decreased $3,175,000, or 11.3%, over the 2008 balances. At December 31, 2009, Southern had balances of $11,961,000 with the Federal Reserve, compared to $16,165,000 at December 31, 2008. During 2008, the Federal Reserve began paying banks interest on balances maintained at the Federal Reserve. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the interest rate paid by the Federal Reserve exceeded the overnight federal funds rate paid by Southern's primary correspondent bank.
Securities Available for Sale
The securities available for sale portfolio decreased by $8,770,000, or 13.3%, from December 31, 2008 to December 31, 2009. Southern sold $26.4 million of securities in 2009 reducing the level of mortgage backed securities held. In addition, $37.7 million of securities were called or matured in 2009. The portfolio is monitored and securities or federal funds are purchased as deemed prudent by the Asset Liability Management Committee (ALCO). Southern elected not to replace some maturing investments to meet liquidity needs.
The securities available for sale portfolio decreased by $11,797,000, or 15.2%, from December 31, 2007 to December 31, 2008. Approximately $76 million of securities matured or were called in 2008 as compared to $31 million in 2007.
The securities available for sale portfolio had net unrealized gains of $635,000 at December 31, 2009 and $997,000 at December 31, 2008. Management has concluded that unrealized gains and losses within the investment portfolio are temporary because management believes they are a result of market changes, rather than a reflection of credit quality.
Loans
Substantially all loans are granted to customers located in Southern's service area, which is primarily southern Michigan (excluding southeast Michigan). Gross loans decreased by $2,231,000, or 0.7%, and $668,000, or 0.2%, in 2009 and 2008, respectively. The decreases resulted from net charge offs and payments received on loans exceeding the new loan volume as Southern is actively controlling growth during the current difficult economic times.
Loan commitments, consisting of unused credit card and home equity lines, available amounts on revolving lines of credit and other approved loans which have not been funded, were $59,823,000 and $69,271,000 at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. A high percentage of these commitments are priced at a variable interest rate, thus minimizing Southern's risk in a changing interest rate environment.
Nonperforming Assets
Nonperforming assets include nonaccrual loans, accruing loans past due 90 days or more, and other real estate owned, which includes real estate acquired through foreclosures and deeds in lieu of foreclosure.
A loan generally is classified as nonaccrual when full collectibility of principal or interest is doubtful or a loan becomes 90 days past due as to principal or interest, unless management determines that the estimated net realizable value of the collateral is sufficient to cover the principal balance and accrued interest. When interest accruals are discontinued, unpaid interest is reversed. Nonperforming loans are returned to performing status when the loan is brought current and has performed in accordance with contract terms for a period of time.

Nonperforming loans are subject to continuous monitoring by management and estimated losses are specifically allocated for in the allowance for loan losses where appropriate. The decrease in nonperforming loans from December 31, 2008 to December 31 2009 was primarily a reflection of loans being transferred to foreclosed
assets or charged-off. At December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, Southern had loans of $11,135,000, $15,257,000 and $9,144,000, respectively, which were considered impaired.
Holdings of other real estate owned at December 31, 2009 increased by $68,000 since the end of 2008. Other real estate owned includes properties that were acquired through foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure. The properties include residential homes and lots and commercial properties. During 2009 and 2008, $3,197,000 and $1,987,000, respectively, was transferred from loans to foreclosed assets. The increase in other real estate owned reflects the increased level of foreclosure activity due to the poor economic conditions in Michigan.
In management's evaluation of the loan portfolio risks, any significant future increases in nonperforming loans is dependent to a large extent on the economic environment. In a deteriorating or uncertain economy, management applies more conservative assumptions when assessing the future prospects of borrowers and when estimating collateral values. This may result in a higher number of loans being classified as nonperforming.
Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses is based on regular, quarterly assessments of the probable estimated incurred losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The allowance is based on two principles of accounting: Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 450-10, "Accounting for Contingencies" and ASC 310-10, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan." The methodology used relies on several key features, including historical loss experience, specific allowances for identified problem loans and a number of other factors recommended in regulatory guidance.
The historical loss component of the allowance is based on considering historical loss experience for each loan category. The component may be adjusted for significant factors that, in management's judgment, will affect the collectibility of the portfolio. The resulting loss estimate could differ from the losses actually incurred in the future.
Specific allowances are established in cases where management has identified significant conditions or circumstances related to a specific loan credit. As of December 31, 2009, specific reserves totaled $1,550,000 compared to $3,308,000 at December 31, 2008, a decrease of 53.1%.
The final components of the allowance are based on management's evaluation of conditions that are not directly measured in the historical loss component or specific allowances. The evaluation of the inherent incurred loss with respect to these conditions is subject to a higher degree of uncertainty. The conditions evaluated in connection with these components of the allowance include current economic conditions, delinquency and charge off trends, loan volume, portfolio mix, concentrations of credit and lending policies, procedures and lending personnel.
The allowance for loan losses was $6,075,000 or 1.82% of loans at December 31, 2009 compared to $7,104,000 or 2.12% of loans at December 31, 2008.
The allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2009 consisted of $2,916,000 from the historical loss experience component and specifically allocated reserves, leaving $3,159,000 from the other factors. This compares to $4,800,000 from the historical loss experience component and specifically allocated reserves and $2,304,000 from other factors at December 31, 2008.
At December 31, 2009, management was not aware of any problem loan that would have a material effect on loan delinquency or loan charge-offs. Loans are subject to continual review and are given management's attention whenever a problem situation appears to be developing.
The allowance is maintained at a level, which in management's judgment is believed adequate to absorb probable incurred loan losses in the loan portfolio. While management uses the best information available to make these estimates, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary due to economic, operating or regulatory conditions beyond Southern's control.
Deposits
Deposits have traditionally represented Southern's principal source of funds. Total deposits decreased 3.3%, or $13,138,000, in 2009 and decreased 1.3%, or $5,126,000, in 2008. The 2009 decrease included one non-
core deposit relationship, totaling $14.2 million, which was eliminated during the first quarter of 2009. The majority of deposits are derived from core client sources, relating to long term relationships with local personnel, business and public clients. A small amount of brokered deposits, $10.6 million at December 31, 2009, are maintained, but are not used to support growth. Attracting and keeping traditional deposit relationships will continue to be a focus of Southern.
Subordinated Debentures
In March 2004, Southern Michigan Bancorp Capital Trust I, a Delaware statutory trust formed by Southern, closed a pooled private offering of 5,000 trust preferred securities with a liquidation amount of $1,000 per security. Southern issued $5,155,000 of subordinated debentures to the trust in exchange for ownership of all of the common securities of the trust and the proceeds of the preferred securities sold by the trust. Southern may redeem the subordinated debentures, in whole or in part, in a principal amount with integral multiples of $1,000 at 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The subordinated debentures mature on April 6, 2034. The subordinated debentures are also redeemable, in whole or in part from time to time, upon the occurrence of specific events defined within the trust indenture. Southern has the option to defer interest payments on the subordinated debentures from time to time for a period not to exceed five consecutive y ears. Southern's investment in the common stock of the trust was $155,000 and is included in other assets.
The $5,000,000 in trust preferred securities may be included in Tier I capital (with certain limitations applicable) under current regulatory guidelines and interpretations. The trust preferred securities and subordinated debentures have a variable rate of interest equal to the sum of the three month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and 2.75%. The rate at December 31, 2009 was 3.03%.
Capital Resources
Southern obtains funds for operating expenses and dividends to shareholders through dividends from the Bank. In general, the Bank pays only those amounts required to meet the liquidity requirements of Southern, while maintaining appropriate capital levels at the Bank. Capital is maintained at the Bank to support its current operations and projected future growth. See additional discussion under the section titled "Liquidity."
Shareholders' equity increased $1,318,000, or 3.0%, from December 31, 2008 to December 31, 2009. It was relatively flat at $44,416,000 at December 31, 2008 compared to $44,219,000 at December 31, 2007. The increase in 2009 was primarily attributable to 2009 net income offset by dividends to shareholders.
The Federal Reserve Board (FRB) has imposed risk-based capital guidelines applicable to Southern. These guidelines require that banks and bank holding companies maintain capital levels commensurate with both on and off balance sheet credit risks of their operations. Under the guidelines, a bank must have a minimum ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets of 8 percent. In addition, a bank and a bank holding company must maintain a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital equal to 4 percent of risk-weighted assets. Tier 1 capital includes common shareholders' equity, qualifying perpetual preferred stock and minority interests in equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries less goodwill, core deposit intangibles and 10 percent of mortgage servicing rights assets.
As a supplement to the risk-based capital requirements, the FRB has also adopted leverage capital ratio requirements. The leverage ratio requirements are intended to ensure that adequate capital is maintained against risk other than credit risk. The leverage ratio requirements establish a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to total assets of 3 percent for the most highly rated bank holding companies and banks that do not anticipate and are not experiencing significant growth. All other bank holding companies are required to maintain a ratio of Tier 1 capital to total assets of 4 to 5 percent, depending on the particular circumstances and risk profile of the institution.
Regulatory agencies have determined that the capital component created by the adoption of the requirements of ASC 320-10 should not be included in Tier 1 capital. As such, the net unrealized gain or loss on available for sale securities is not included in the ratios listed in Note V to the consolidated financial statements. The ratios include the common stock subject to repurchase obligation in Southern's employee stock ownership plan (ESOP). As discussed in Note V, Southern and SMB&T both exceeded the minimum requirements to be categorized as "well capitalized" at December 31, 2009. The information in Note V to the consolidated financial statements is here incorporated by reference.
Liquidity
Liquidity management involves the ability to meet the cash flow requirements of customers who may be either depositors wanting to withdraw funds or borrowers needing assurance that sufficient funds will be available to meet their credit needs. Southern maintains certain levels of liquid assets (the most liquid of which are cash and cash equivalents, federal funds sold and investment securities) in order to meet these demands. Maturing loans and investment securities are the principal sources of asset liquidity. Liquidity is monitored and closely managed by the Asset/Liability Management Committee (ALCO), whose members are comprised of senior management.
Historically, Southern has maintained correspondent accounts with regional and national banks for various purposes. In addition, cash sufficient to meet the operating needs of its branches is maintained at its lowest practical levels. At times, Southern is a participant in the federal funds market. Federal funds are generally borrowed or sold for one-day periods. During 2009 and 2008, federal funds were sold with an average balance of $2,716,000 and $17,624,000, respectively. During 2009, Southern also averaged $15,771,000 on deposit at the Federal Reserve.
In the past, Southern has used overnight federal funds lines of credit with correspondent banks as a short term source of liquidity. The recent events within the financial industry have caused correspondent banks to eliminate these lines of credit that were previously available to Southern. As a result, in an effort to ensure adequate liquidity, collateral is pledged at the Federal Reserve Bank "Discount Window." At December 31, 2009, $5 million of securities were pledged that could be used for future borrowings. In addition, Southern has $3.2 million of securities which are available to be pledged for future borrowings. Southern also has the ability to borrow $33.6 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank based on FHLB stock owned and collateral pledged.
Southern's principal source of funds to pay cash dividends is the earnings and dividends paid by SMB&T, which are restricted under current banking laws and regulations. Capital guidelines adopted by federal and state regulatory agencies and restrictions imposed by law limit the amount of cash dividends the Bank can pay to Southern. At January 1, 2010, using the most restrictive of these conditions, SMB&T was able to pay Southern $3.7 million in aggregate dividends without prior regulatory approval.
Additional information about factors affecting our liquidity may be found in Notes H and I of the consolidated financial statements, and is here incorporated by reference.
Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices
The majority of assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature and therefore differ greatly from most commercial and industrial companies that have significant investments in fixed assets or inventories. However, inflation does have an important impact on the growth of total assets in the banking industry and the resulting need to increase equity capital at higher than normal rates in order to maintain an appropriate equity-to-assets ratio. Another significant effect of inflation is on other expenses, which tend to rise during periods of general inflation.
Commitments and Off-Balance Sheet Risk
Southern maintains off balance sheet financial instruments in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, letters of credit and standby letters of credit. Loan commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer at any time, as the customer's needs vary, as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Letters of credit are used to facilitate customers' trade transactions. Under standby letters of credit agreements, Southern agrees to honor certain commitments in the event that its customers are unable to do so. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Because many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. At December 31, 2009, Southern had commitm ents of $59,823,000 for lines of credit, $1,457,000 in standby letters of credit and no commitments under commercial letters of credit outstanding.
These arrangements have credit risk essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers and are subject to Southern's normal credit policies. Collateral generally consists of receivables, inventory and
equipment and is obtained based on management's credit assessment of the customer. These financial instruments are recorded when they are funded.
Interest Rate Sensitivity
Net interest income is the largest component of Southern's earnings. Net interest income is the difference between the yield on interest earning assets and the cost of interest bearing liabilities. Interest rate sensitivity management seeks to avoid fluctuating net interest margins and enhance consistent growth of net interest income through periods of changing interest rates.
Interest rate risk arises when the maturity or repricing characteristics of assets differ significantly from the maturity or the repricing characteristics of liabilities. Accepting this risk can be an important source of profitability and shareholder value. However, excessive levels of interest rate risk could pose a significant threat to Southern's earnings and capital base. Accordingly, effective risk management that maintains interest rate risk at prudent levels is essential to Southern's safety and soundness.
A number of tools are used to monitor and manage interest rate risk, including income simulation and market value of equity analyses. The income simulation model is used to estimate the effect that specific interest rate changes would have on net interest income assuming 1-3% up and down ramped changes to interest rates. With the current Federal Reserve target rate at 0% - .25%, no further decrease in rates was modeled at December 31, 2009. Assumptions in the simulation are based on management's estimates, and are inherently uncertain. As a result, the models cannot predict precisely the impact of higher or lower interest rates on net interest income. The income simulation indicated if rates increased one percent, net interest income would decrease $176,000, or -1.05%, if rates increased two percent, net interest income would decrease $133,000, or -0.79% and if rates increased three percent, net interest income would increase $162,000, or 0.96%.
The market value of equity analysis estimates the change in the market value of equity using interest rate change scenarios from +3% to -3% in 1% increments. As with the income simulation analysis, no further rate reductions were assumed as of December 31, 2009. The following table illustrates the percent change in equity based on changes in market interest rates:
| change in market |
| |
3% increase in market rates | 11.45% |
|
|
2% increase in market rates | 7.79% |
|
|
1% increase in market rates | 3.99% |

The results of the simulations at December 31, 2009 are within the guidelines set and approved by Southern's Board of Directors.
Critical Accounting Policies
The discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations are based upon Southern's consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires Southern to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, and potentially could result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions.
Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level management believes is adequate to absorb probable incurred credit losses inherent in Southern's loan portfolio. Accounting for loan classifications, accrual status and determination of the allowance for loan losses is based on regulatory guidance. This guidance includes, but is not limited to, generally accepted accounting principles, the uniform retail credit classification and account management policy issued by the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council, and the joint policy statement on the allowance for loan losses methodologies also issued by the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council. Using this guidance, management estimates the allowance balance based on past loan loss experience, nature and volume of the portfolio, information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values, economic conditions, information in regulatory examination reports, and other factors. Man y of the factors listed are inherently subjective, and require the use of significant management estimates.
Fair Value Measurements
We use fair value measurements to record certain financial instruments and to determine fair value disclosures. Available for sale securities are financial instruments recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, we may be required to record at fair value other financial assets on a nonrecurring basis. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve write-downs of, or specific reserves against, individual assets. ASC 820-10-55 (formerly SFAS 157, Fair Value Measurements), establishes a three level hierarchy for disclosure of assets and liabilities recorded at fair value. The classification of assets and liabilities within the hierarchy is based on whether the inputs to the valuation methodology used in the measurement are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market driven or market based information obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect management estimates about market data.
The degree of management judgment involved in determining the fair value of a financial instrument is dependent upon the availability of quoted market prices or observable market data. For financial instruments that trade actively and have quoted market prices or observable market data, there is minimal subjectivity involved in measuring fair value. When observable market prices and data are not fully available, management's judgment is necessary to estimate fair value. In addition, changes in the market conditions may reduce the availability of quoted prices or observable data. When market data is not available, management uses valuation techniques that require more judgment to estimate the appropriate fair value measurement. Fair value is discussed further in Note A under the heading "Fair Values of Financial Instruments" and in Note U, "Fair Value Measurements", of notes to consolidated financial statements.
Mortgage Servicing Rights
Mortgage servicing rights represent the allocated value of servicing loans that are sold with servicing retained by Southern. Servicing rights are expensed in proportion to, and over the period of, estimated net servicing revenues. Management's accounting treatment of loan servicing rights is estimated utilizing a discounted cash flow model to determine the value of its servicing rights. The valuation model utilizes mortgage prepayment speeds, the remaining life of the mortgage pool, delinquency rates, our cost to service loans, and other factors to determine the cash flow that we will receive from serving each grouping of loans. These cash flows are then discounted based on current interest rate assumptions to arrive at the fair value for the right to service those loans.
Acquisition Intangibles
Generally accepted accounting principles require a determination of the fair value of all of the assets and liabilities of an acquired entity, and recording of their fair value on the date of acquisition. A variety of means are employed in determination of fair value, including the use of discounted cash flow analysis, market comparisons, and projected future revenue streams. Once valuations have been adjusted, the net difference between the price paid for the acquired company and the value of its balance sheet is recorded as goodwill. Goodwill is subject to an impairment analysis, performed at least annually. Prior to 2009, the Company elected to perform its annual goodwill impairment test as of December 31 each year. Such test was performed by management utilizing various industry data available for other financial institutions. As a result of the significant changes in economic conditions in 2008 and continuing in 2009, management believed the use of an independent th ird-party to perform the annual valuation would be beneficial. The Company selected November 30 as the annual impairment test date to allow the third party valuation firm adequate time to complete the annual valuation and impairment testing process. This change will
allow the Company sufficient time to incorporate the impairment testing results in the Company's annual December 31 financial reporting requirements.
MANAGEMENT'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL REPORTING
Management of Southern Michigan Bancorp, Inc. has prepared and is responsible for the accompanying consolidated financial statements and for their integrity and objectivity. In the opinion of management, the financial statements, which necessarily include amounts based on management's estimates and judgments, have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, on a consistent basis. Management also prepared the other information in the Annual Report and is responsible for its accuracy and consistency with the financial statements.
The 2009 consolidated financial statements have been audited by the independent accounting firm of Clifton Gunderson LLP which was given unrestricted access to all financial records and related data, including minutes of all meetings of shareholders, the board of directors and committees of the board. Management believes that all representations made to the independent auditors during their audit were valid and appropriate. Clifton Gunderson LLP's auditor's report is presented on the following page.
MANAGEMENT'S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Management of Southern Michigan Bancorp, Inc. is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Southern's internal control system is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The system of internal control includes policies and procedures pertaining to Southern's ability to record, process, and report reliable information. Actions are taken to correct any deficiencies as they are identified through internal and external audits, regular examinations by bank regulatory agencies, Southern's formal risk management process, and other means.
All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Further, because of changes in conditions, the effectiveness of internal control may change over time.
Southern's management assessed the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009. In making this assessment, it used the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in "Internal Control-Integrated Framework." Based on our assessment, management believes that as of December 31, 2009, Southern's internal control over financial reporting was effective based on those criteria.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of Southern's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by Southern's registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit Southern to provide only management's report in this annual report.

SOUTHERN MICHIGAN BANCORP, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A - NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Operations and Industry Segments: Southern Michigan Bancorp, Inc. (the Company) is a bank holding company. The Company's business is concentrated in the banking industry segment. The subsidiary bank offers individuals, businesses, institutions and government agencies a full range of commercial banking services primarily in the southern Michigan communities in which the bank is located and in areas immediately surrounding these communities. The bank grants commercial and consumer loans to customers. The majority of loans are secured by business assets, commercial and residential real estate, and consumer assets. There are no foreign loans.
Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Southern Michigan Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Southern Michigan Bank & Trust (SMB&T or the Bank) after elimination of significant inter-company balances and transactions. During 2009, both FNB Financial and SMB Mortgage Company were consolidated with and into SMB&T. SMB&T owns FNB Financial Services, which conducts a brokerage business and is consolidated into SMB&T's financial statements. During 2004, the Company formed a special purpose trust, Southern Michigan Bancorp Capital Trust I for the sole purpose of issuing trust preferred securities. Under generally accepted accounting principles, the trust is not consolidated into the financial statements of the Company.
Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates that are more susceptible to change in the near term include the allowance for loan losses, deferred tax assets, fair values of securities and other financial instruments and pension and post retirement benefit obligations.
Securities: Management determines the appropriate classification of securities at the time of purchase. If management has the intent and the Company has the ability at the time of purchase to hold securities until maturity, they are classified as held to maturity and carried at amortized historical cost. Securities to be held for indefinite periods of time and not intended to be held to maturity are classified as available for sale and carried at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses reported in other comprehensive income or loss, net of tax. Securities classified as available for sale include securities that management intends to use as part of its asset/liability management strategy and that may be sold in response to changes in interest rates, prepayment risk, and other factors.
Premiums and discounts on securities are recognized in interest income using the level yield method over the estimated life of the security. Gains and losses on the sale of available for sale securities are determined using the specific identification method. Securities are written down to fair value and reflected as a loss when a decline in fair value is not temporary. In estimating other than temporary losses, management considers: (1) the length of time and extent that fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer, and (3) whether the Company has the intention to sell the security prior to recovery. Prior to April 1, 2009, factor (3) was based on the Company's intent and ability to hold the security until recovery.
Loans Held for Sale: Loans held for sale are reported at the lower of cost or market value in the aggregate. Net unrealized losses are recorded in a valuation allowance by charges to income.
Loans: Loans are reported at the principal balance outstanding, net of unearned interest, deferred loan fees and costs, and an allowance for loan losses. Interest income is reported on the interest method and includes amortization of net deferred loan fees and costs over the loan term.
SOUTHERN MICHIGAN BANCORP, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
NOTE A - NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Loans (Continued): Interest income is not reported when full loan repayment is in doubt, typically when payments are past due over 90 days, unless the loan is both well secured and in the process of collection. Past due status is based on the contractual terms of the loan. All interest accrued but not received for these loans is reversed against interest income. Payments received on such loans are reported as principal reductions until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.
Allowance for Loan Losses: The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses, increased by the provision for loan losses and decreased by charge-offs less recoveries. Estimating the risk of loss and the amount of loss on any loan is necessarily subjective. Accordingly, management estimates the allowance balance based on past loan loss experience, nature and volume of the portfolio, information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values, economic conditions, information in regulatory examination reports, and other factors. Allocations of the allowance may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in management's judgment, should be charged-off. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed.
Loan impairment is reported when full payment under the loan terms is not expected. Impairment is evaluated in total for smaller-balance loans of similar nature such as residential mortgage and consumer loans and on an individual loan basis for other loans. If a loan is impaired, a portion of the allowance is allocated so that the loan is reported, net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan's effective interest rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Loans are evaluated for impairment when payments are delayed, typically 90 days or more, or when it is probable that all principal and interest amounts will not be collected according to the original terms of the loan.
Consumer loans are typically charged-off no later than 120 days past due. Real estate mortgage loans in the process of collection are charged-off on or before they become 365 days past due. Commercial loans are charged-off promptly upon the determination that all or a portion of any loan balance is uncollectible. In all cases, loans are placed on nonaccrual status or charged-off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful.
Premises and Equipment: Premises and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed principally using straight line or accelerated methods over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives are 10 to 40 years for buildings and improvements and 3 to 10 for furniture and equipment. These assets are reviewed for impairment when events indicate their carrying amount may not be recoverable from future undiscounted cash flows. Maintenance, repairs and minor alterations are charged to current operations as expenditures occur. Major improvements are capitalized. Land is carried at cost.
Mortgage Servicing Rights: Mortgage servicing rights, included in other assets, represent the allocated value of mortgage servicing rights retained on loans sold. Mortgage servicing rights are expensed in proportion to, and over the period of, estimated net servicing revenues.
Impairment is evaluated based on the fair value of the rights, using groupings of the underlying loans as to interest rates and then, secondarily, as to geographic and prepayment characteristics. Any impairment of a grouping is reported as a valuation allowance.
Transfers of Financial Assets: Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales, when control over the assets has been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when (1) the assets have been isolated from the Bank, (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and (3) the Bank does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity.
SOUTHERN MICHIGAN BANCORP, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
NOTE A - NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Company Owned Life Insurance:The Company has purchased life insurance policies on certain key executives. Company owned life insurance is recorded at its net cash surrender value, or the amount that can be realized.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets: Goodwill results from business acquisitions and represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of acquired tangible assets and liabilities and identifiable intangible assets. Goodwill is assessed at least annually for impairment and any such impairment will be recognized in the period identified. Prior to 2009, the Company elected to perform its annual goodwill impairment test as of December 31 each year. Such test was performed by management utilizing various industry data available for other financial institutions. As a result of the significant changes in economic conditions in 2008 and continuing in 2009, management believed the use of an independent third-party to perform the annual valuation would be beneficial. The Company selected November 30 as the annual impairment test date to allow the third-party valuation firm adequate time to complete the annual valuation and impairment testing process. This change will allow the Company sufficie nt time to incorporate the impairment testing results in the Company's annual December 31 financial reporting requirements. Intangible assets with definite useful lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values. Goodwill is the only intangible asset with an indefinite life on the Company's balance sheet.
Other intangible assets consist of core deposit intangible assets arising from whole bank or branch acquisitions. They are initially measured at fair value and then are amortized on an accelerated method over their estimated useful life, which is 10 years.
Other Real Estate: Other real estate was $1,187,000 and $1,119,000 at December 31, 2009 and 2008 and is included in other assets. Other real estate is comprised of properties acquired through a foreclosure proceeding or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure. These properties are initially recorded at fair value less cost to sell at the date of foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis. After foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management and real estate is carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less estimated cost of disposal. Expenses, gains and losses on disposition, and reductions in carrying value are reported in other expense.
Stock Compensation: Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the requirements of "share-based payment transactions", using the modified prospective transition method. Under this method, the Company began recognizing compensation cost for equity-based compensation for all new or modified grants after the date of adoption. Awards issued prior to 2006 that have not been modified were not affected by the new method of accounting.. For 2006 no stock based employee cost was recorded as no options were granted in 2006 and all prior options were fully vested prior to January 1, 2006.
Prior to January 1, 2006 employee compensation expense under stock option plans was reported using the intrinsic value method. No stock-based compensation cost was reflected in net income for the years prior to 2006 as all options granted had an exercise price equal to or greater than the market price of the underlying common stock at date of grant.
See Note N regarding the various assumptions used in computing the compensation expense.
Advertising Costs: Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
NOTE A - NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Income Taxes: Income tax expense is the total of the current year income tax due or refundable and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are the expected future tax amounts for the temporary differences between carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities, computed using enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Benefits from tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return are not recognized if the likelihood that the tax position would be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority is considered to be 50% or less.
The Company adopted FASB's requirements for accounting for uncertain tax positions effective January 1, 2007. The requirements prescribe the minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. The requirements also provide clear criteria for subsequently recognizing, derecognizing, and measuring such tax positions for financial statement purposes as well as provide guidance on accrual of interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. The adoption did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Cash Flow Definition:For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers cash and due from banks as cash and cash equivalents. The Company reports net cash flows for customer loan and deposit transactions and short term borrowings with a maturity of 90 days or less.
Stock Dividends: The Company issued 84,355 common shares in connection with a 5% stock dividend effected in February 2006.
Earnings and Dividends Per Common Share: Basic earnings per common share is based on net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. ESOP shares are considered outstanding for this calculation unless unearned. Diluted earnings per common share reflects the dilutive effect of any additional potential common shares issuable under stock options. Earnings and dividends per share are restated for all stock splits and stock dividends through the date of issuance of the financial statements.
Comprehensive Income: Comprehensive income consists of net income and other comprehensive income or loss. Other comprehensive income or loss includes the net change in unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale and the changes in the funded status of the pension plan, each net of tax, which are also recognized as a separate component of shareholders' equity.
Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP):The cost of shares issued to the ESOP but not yet allocated to participants is shown as a reduction to shareholders' equity. Compensation expense is based on the market price of shares as they are committed to be released to participants' accounts. Dividends on allocated ESOP shares reduce retained earnings; dividends on unearned ESOP shares reduce debt and accrued interest.
Fair Values of Financial Instruments: Fair values of financial instruments are estimated using relevant market information and other assumptions, as more fully disclosed in a separate note. Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment regarding interest rates, credit risk, prepayments and other factors, especially in the absence of broad markets for particular items. Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect such estimates.
Concentrations of Credit Risk: The Company grants commercial, real estate and installment loans to customers mainly in southern Michigan. Commercial loans include loans collateralized by commercial real estate, business assets and agricultural loans collateralized by crops and farm equipment. Commercial, financial and agricultural loans make up approximately 67% of the loan portfolio at December 31, 2009 and the loans are expected to be repaid from cash flow from operations of businesses. Residential mortgage loans make up approximately 30% of the loan portfolio at December 31, 2009 and are collateralized by mortgages on residential real estate. Consumer loans make up approximately 3% of the loan portfolio at December 31, 2009 and are primarily collateralized by consumer assets.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
NOTE A - NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Operating Segments:While the chief decision-makers monitor the revenue streams of the various products and services, operations are managed and financial performance is evaluated on a Company wide basis. Operating segments are aggregated into one as operating results for all segments are similar. Accordingly, all of the financial service operations are considered by management to be aggregated in one reportable operating segment.
Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk: Financial instruments include off-balance-sheet credit instruments, such as commitments to make loans and standby letters of credit issued to meet customer needs. The face amount for these items represents the exposure to loss before considering customer collateral or ability to repay. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded. Commitments may include interest rates determined prior to funding the loan (rate lock commitments). Rate lock commitments on loans intended to be sold are considered to be derivatives. Such commitments were not material at December 31, 2009 and 2008.
Loss Contingencies: Loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. Management does not believe there are any such matters that will have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2009.
Subsequent Events:Management evaluated subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued. Events or transactions occurring after December 31, 2009, but prior to when the financial statements were issued, that provided additional evidence about conditions that existed at December 31, 2009, have been recognized in the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009. Events or transactions that provided evidence about conditions that did not exist at December 31, 2009, but arose before the financial statements were issued, have not been recognized in the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009.
Reclassifications: Certain items in the 2008 and 2007 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
Adoption of New Accounting Standards: In June 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2009-01 (formerly FAS No. 168),The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) is the single source of authoritative non governmental U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The Codification does not change current GAAP, but is intended to simplify user access to all authoritative GAAP by providing all the authoritative literature related to a particular topic in one place. All existing accounting standard documents are superseded and all other accounting literature not included in the Codification is considered non-authoritative. The Codification is effective for financial statement s issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the results of operations or financial position of the Company as it only required changes to GAAP references in our financial statements.

NOTE A - NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Adoption of New Accounting Standards (Continued):
ASC 805-10 (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (Revised 2007),Business Combinations) was issued in December 2007. ASC 805-10 establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in an acquiree, including the recognition and measurement of goodwill acquired in a business combination. ASC 805 applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company had no transactions in 2009 applicable to ASC 805.
ASC 810-10 (formerly SFAS 160,Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - an amendment of ARB No. 51) was issued in December 2007 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statement, but separate from the parent's equity. ASC 810-10 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Since the Company owns 100% of all subsidiaries, ASC 810-10 has no impact on the Company's consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
ASC 815-10 (formerly SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133) was issued in March 2008 and requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivative instruments, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. ASC 815-10 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. Adoption of ASC 815-10 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
ASC 320-10 (formerly Staff Position (FSP) No. 115-2 and No. 124-2,Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments), amends existing guidance for determining whether impairment is other-than-temporary (OTTI) for debt securities. The ASC requires an entity to assess whether it intends to sell, or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell, a security in an unrealized loss position before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of these criteria is met, the entire difference between amortized cost and fair value is recognized in earnings. For securities that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, the amount of impairment recognized in earnings is limited to the amount related to credit losses, while impairment related to other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income. Additionally, the ASC expands and increases the frequency of existing disclosures about other-than-temporary impairments for debt and equity securities. ASC 320-10 was effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The adoption of the ASC on April 1, 2009 did not have a material impact on the results of operations or financial position of the Company because the Company did not hold any other-than-temporary impaired debt securities.
ASC 820-10 (formerly FSP No. 157-4,Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly), emphasizes that even if there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity, the objective of a fair value measurement remains the same. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants. ASC 820-10 provides a number of factors to consider when evaluating whether there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability in relation to normal market activity. In addition, when transactions or quoted prices are not considered orderly, adjustments to those prices based on the weight of available information may be needed to determine the appropriate fair value. The ASC also requires in creased disclosures. ASC 820-10 was effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, and was applied prospectively. The adoption of ASC 820-10 as of April 1, 2009 did not have a material impact on the results of operations or financial position of the Company.

NOTE A - NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Adoption of New Accounting Standards (Continued):
ASC 825-10 (formerly FSP No. 107-1 and APB 28-1,Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments), requires disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies that were previously only required in annual financial statements. ASC 825-10 is effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of ASC 825-10 as of April 1, 2009 did not have a material impact on the results of operations or financial position of the Company as it only required disclosures which were already disclosed on an annual basis in Note T.
ASC 855-10 (formerly FAS No. 165,Subsequent Events), establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. In particular, ASC 855-10 sets forth the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements, and the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. An entity must apply the requirements to interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of ASC 855-10 did not significantly impact the consolidated financial statements of the Company.
ASC 260-10 (formerly FASB Staff Position EITF 03-6-1-Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities) addresses whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting and, therefore, included in the earnings allocation in computing earnings per share (EPS) under the two-class method. ASC 260-10 provides that unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of EPS pursuant to the two-class method. This ASC was effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those years. All prior-period EPS data presented were to be adjusted retrospectively (including interim financial statements, summaries of earnings, and selected financial data) to conform to the provisions of this ASC. The effect of adopting this new guidance did not impact the Company's EPS computation.
ASC 715-20 (formerly FASB Staff Position No. 132(R)-1,Employers' Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets) provides guidance on an employer's disclosures about plan assets of a defined benefit pension or other post-retirement plan. These additional disclosures include disclosure of investment policies and fair value disclosures of plan assets, including fair value hierarchy. The ASC also includes a technical amendment that requires a nonpublic entity to disclose net periodic benefit cost for each annual period for which a statement of income is presented. This ASC is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009. Upon initial application, provisions of the ASC are not required for earlier periods that are presented for comparative purposes. The new disclosures for 2009 have been presented in the Note M to the consolidated financial statements.
In August 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-05,Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) - Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value. This ASU provides amendments for fair value measurements of liabilities. It provides clarification that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using one or more techniques. ASU 2009-05 also clarifies that when estimating a fair value of a liability, a reporting entity is not required to include a separate input or adjustment to other inputs relating to the existence of a restriction that prevents the transfer of the liability. ASU 2009-05 is effective for the first reporting period (including interim periods) beginning after August 26, 2009. The adoption of ASU 2009-05 did not have any impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

NOTE A - NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Effect of Newly Issued But Not Yet Effective Accounting Standards:
ASC 860-10-65 (formerly FAS No. 166,Accountingfor Transfers of Financial Assets-an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140), removes the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity and removes the exception from applyingConsolidation of Variable Interest Entities, to qualifying special-purpose entities. The objective in issuing ASC 860-10-65 is to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor's continuing involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets. The requirements of ASC 860-10-65 must be applied as of the beginning of each reporting entity's first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. The impact of adoption is not expected to be material.
ASC 810-10-65 (formerly FAS No. 167,Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)), seeks to improve financial reporting by enterprises involved with variable interest entities. ASC 810-10-65 addresses (1) the effects of provisions which result from the elimination of the qualifying special-purpose entity concept and (2) constituent concerns about the application of the accounting and disclosures which do not always provide timely and useful information about an enterprise's involvement in a variable interest entity. ASC 810-10-65 is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity's first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. The impact of adoption is not expected to be material since the Company currently has no variable interest entities.
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06,Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) - Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. This ASU requires presentation of activities within the Level 3 roll forward, and adds a new requirement to disclose transfers in and out of Level 1 and 2 measurements. It also clarifies two existing disclosure requirements. The ASU is effective the first interim or annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the gross presentation of the Level 3 roll forward information, which is required for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim reporting periods within those years. The adoption of ASU 2010-06 will only impact the disclosure requirements of fair value information and will not impact the Company's consolidated financial statements.

NOTE C - ACQUISITION OF FNB FINANCIAL
On December 1, 2007, the Company completed a merger with FNB Financial Corporation, parent company of First National Bank of Three Rivers. Upon completion of the merger, the name of First National Bank of Three Rivers was changed to FNB Financial (FNB). The merger was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based upon the estimated fair values as of the date of merger. For federal income tax purposes, the tax basis of the assets and liabilities of FNB at November 30, 2007 carryover. The purchase provided the Company the strategic opportunity to expand into adjacent markets since the opportunity to grow organically within the Company's existing market was limited by competition and economic conditions.

NOTE C - ACQUISITION OF FNB FINANCIAL (CONTINUED)
The aggregate purchase price was $26,475,000, representing $13,764,000 of cash and acquisition costs and issuance of 535,936 shares of the Company's common stock valued at $12,711,000, net of $125,000 of offering costs. The cash portion of the acquisition was financed with a $5,000,000 special dividend from SMB&T, the proceeds from a $7,000,000 five-year term loan with a correspondent bank and $1,000,000 from a line of credit with the same correspondent bank, as described in note I.
The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at the date of the merger with FNB (in thousands):

The purchase accounting fair value adjustments are being amortized under various methods and over the estimated lives of the corresponding assets and liabilities. Goodwill recorded from the merger amounted to $12,802,000 bringing total goodwill for the Company to $13,422,000 at December 31, 2007. Goodwill is not being amortized but is subject to an annual impairment test. A core deposit intangible asset of $3,122,000 was recorded as part of the deposits assumed and is being amortized using an accelerated basis over a period of 10 years. Amortization of the core deposit intangible asset for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the month of December 2007 was $362,000, $374,000 and $31,000, respectively, resulting in an unamortized balance of $2,355,000 and $2,717,000 at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The estimated amortization expense for each of the next five years ending December 31 is as follows: 2010, $350,000; 2011, $339,000; 2012, $325,000; 2013, $296,000 and 2014, $284,000.

NOTE D - SECURITIES (CONTINUED)
Unrealized losses have not been recognized into income as management believes the issuers are of high credit quality, management has no intent to sell the securities, and the decline in fair value is largely due to changes in market interest rates. The fair value is expected to recover as the notes and bonds approach their maturity date.

NOTE I - OTHER BORROWINGS
Other borrowings at December 31, 2009 included $7,343,000 in advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) of Indianapolis. The advances require payments from December 2010 through December 2013 with fixed interest rates ranging from 2.12% to 4.57%, with a weighted average rate of 2.77%. Principal is due at maturity for $6,998,000 of the advances. The remaining $345,000 FHLB advance is at a fixed rate of 4.57% with decreasing annual principal payments.
All of the advances are secured by blanket collateral agreements with the FHLB, which gives the FHLB an unperfected security interest in certain one-to-four family mortgage, home equity, and commercial real estate loans. Eligible FHLB loan collateral at December 31, 2009 and 2008 was approximately $93,148,000 and $65,887,000, respectively.
At December 31, 2008, FHLB fixed rate advances of $5,447,000 were outstanding. They had a weighted average interest rate of 3.97%. Advances with principal due at maturity totaled $4,995,000 and the remaining $452,000 FHLB advance is at a fixed rate of 4.57% with decreasing annual principal payments.

The first consisted of a $3,000,000 secured revolving line of credit, maturing in three years with a LIBOR plus 150 basis point interest rate (3.72% at December 31, 2008). Repayment terms were interest only on a quarterly basis with the principal due at maturity. The second was a $7,000,000 secured term loan, with a maturity of five years subject to a twelve year amortization with an interest rate of LIBOR plus 145 basis points (3.67% at December 31, 2008). Repayment terms were interest and principal on a quarterly basis (based on a 12 year amortization), with the remaining principal amount due at maturity. Both credit facilities were secured by a pledge of 100% of the stock of SMB&T. Both credit facilities with Bank of America were paid off and closed in December 2009. At December 31, 2008, $0 was outstanding on the line of credit and $6,416,000 was outstanding on t he term note.
On December 29, 2009 the Company entered into a Business Loan agreement with Great Lakes Bankers Bank (GLBB), consisting of a $3,000,000 term loan, subject to sub-participation of at least $2,100,000 with banks mutually acceptable to both parties, maturing in five years with a variable rate equal to the New York Prime, as published in the Wall Street Journal, with a floor of four and one-half (4.5%) percent. Repayment terms require monthly principal and interest payments amortized over five years. The loan requires compliance with various specified financial covenants and is secured by 100% of the stock of SMB&T. At December 31, 2009, $3,000,000 was outstanding.
Other borrowings also include a loan from a local community bank with a balance at December 31, 2009 and 2008 of $489,000 and $629,000, respectively. The loan matures on February 28, 2013 and is unsecured.

NOTE K - SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES AND TRUST PREFERRED SECURITIES
In March 2004, Southern Michigan Bancorp Capital Trust I, a trust formed by the Company, closed a pooled private offering of 5,000 trust preferred securities with a liquidation amount of $1,000 per security. The Company issued $5,155,000 of subordinated debentures to the trust in exchange for ownership of all of the common securities of the trust and the proceeds of the preferred securities sold by the trust. The Company is not considered the primary beneficiary of this trust, therefore the trust is not consolidated in the Company's financial statements, but rather the subordinated debentures are shown as a liability. The Company may redeem the subordinated debentures, in whole or in part, in a principal amount with integral multiples of $1,000 at 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The subordinated debentures mature on April 6, 2034. The subordinated debentures are also redeemable in whole or in part from time to time, upon the occurrence of specific events defined within the trust indenture. The Company has the option to defer interest payments on the subordinated debentures from time to time for a period not to exceed five consecutive years.
The $5,000,000 in trust preferred securities may be included in Tier I capital (with certain limitations applicable) under current regulatory guidelines and interpretations. The trust preferred securities and subordinated debentures have a variable rate of interest equal to the sum of the three month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and 2.75%. The rate at December 31, 2009 was 3.03%. The Company's investment in the common stock of the trust was $155,000 and is included in other assets.

At December 1, 2007, FNB had a net operating loss carryforward (NOL) of approximately $1,378,000 for federal income tax purposes. At December 31, 2009, the NOL has been reduced to approximately $609,000 and is available to reduce the Company's future taxable income through 2027.
At December 31, 2009, the Company has available alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards of approximately $356,000, which may be utilized in the future to the extent computed regular tax exceeds the alternative minimum tax. The Company also has a low income housing credit of $127,000 at December 31, 2009, which is available to reduce future federal income taxes through 2029.
A valuation allowance against deferred tax assets of $54,000 was considered necessary at December 31, 2009 and 2008 as the likelihood of receiving a tax benefit on a portion of the capital loss on the write off of an investment is considered doubtful. Management believes remaining deferred tax assets are more likely than not to be realized.
The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal and certain state jurisdictions. Such returns are no longer subject to tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2006.

NOTE M - BENEFIT PLANS
Defined Benefit Pension Plan:
Effective December 31, 2009, The Southern Michigan Bank & Trust Pension Plan was fully frozen. Employees who had been grandfathered in when the plan was partially frozen in 2006 had their benefit frozen in 2009. The curtailment resulted in a $125,000 reduction in the projected benefit obligation during 2009. The curtailment gain was entirely used to offset the unrecognized net actuarial loss; and therefore, there was no impact of this gain on net income. The Company uses a December 31 measurement date for the plan.

Due to the plan freeze, the investment allocations have been reevaluated with shorter term objectives.
The investments in the plan are managed for the benefit of the participants. They are structured to meet the cash flow necessary to pay retiring employees. ERISA guidelines for diversification of the investments are followed.
Fair Value of Plan Assets: Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.
The Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate the fair value of each type of financial instrument:
Debt Securities: The fair values for investment securities are determined by quoted market prices, if available (Level 1). For securities where quoted prices are not available, fair values are calculated based on market prices of similar securities (Level 2). For securities where quoted prices or market prices of similar securities are not available, fair values are calculated using discounted cash flows or other market indicators (Level 3). Discounted cash flows are calculated using spread to swap and LIBOR curves that are updated to incorporate loss severities, volatility, credit spread and optionality. During times when trading is more liquid, broker quotes are used (if available) to validate the model. Rating agency and industry research reports as well as defaults and deferrals on individual securities are reviewed and incorporated into the calculations.

NOTE M - BENEFIT PLANS (CONTINUED)
Employee Stock Ownership Plan: The Company has an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) for substantially all full-time employees. The Plan includes a 401(k) provision with the Company's matching contribution provided in Company stock. The Board of Directors determines the Company's contribution level annually. Assets of the plan are held in trust by SMB&T and administrative costs of the plan are borne by the plan participants. Expense charged to operations for contributions to the plan totaled $388,000, $610,000 and $426,000 in 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Shares held by the ESOP at year-end are as follows:

The fair value of the allocated shares held by the ESOP is approximately $945,000 and $728,000 at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Upon distribution of shares to a participant, the participant has the right to require the Company to purchase shares at their fair value in accordance with terms and conditions of the plan. As such, these shares are not classified in shareholders' equity as permanent equity. In 2008, the ESOP obtained a loan for $609,000 to purchase 28,500 shares. The balance of the loan at December 31, 2009 and 2008 was $416,000 and $529,000, respectively. In 2005, the ESOP obtained a loan for $204,000 to purchase 7,568 shares. The balance of the loan at December 31, 2009 and 2008 was $21,000 and $62,000, respectively.
Deferred Compensation Plan:As an incentive to retain key members of management and directors, the Bank has a deferred compensation plan whereby participants defer a portion of current compensation. Benefits are based on salary and length of service and are vested as service is provided from the date of participation through age 65. A liability is recorded on a present value basis and discounted at current interest rates. This liability may change depending upon changes in long-term interest rates. Current rates paid on deferred compensation balances range from 6.08% - 12.98%. Deferred compensation expense was $237,000, $246,000 and $225,000 in 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The liability for vested benefits was $1,913,000 and $1,863,000 at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and is included in accrued expenses and other liabilities.
Supplemental Retirement Plan: The Bank also maintains a supplemental retirement plan to provide annual payments to particular executives subsequent to their retirement. Expense associated with this plan totaled $12,000, $77,000 and $11,000 in 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Liabilities associated with this plan totaled $232,000 and $255,000 at December 31, 2009 and 2008.

NOTE N - STOCK OPTIONS
The Company has stock based compensation plans as described below. Total compensation cost that has been charged against income for those plans was $132,000, $141,000 and $95,000 in 2009, 2008 and 2007.
On June 6, 2005, shareholders of the Company approved the Stock Incentive Plan of 2005 to advance the interest of the Company and its shareholders by affording to directors, officers and other employees of the Company an opportunity for increased stock ownership. The plan permits the grant and award of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and stock awards. A maximum of 300,000 shares of common stock are available under the plan. The plan will be terminated June 5, 2015 or earlier if determined by the Board of Directors. At December 31, 2009, 117,158 shares were available under the plan.
On April 17, 2000, the Company approved a Stock Option Plan to advance the interests of the Company and its shareholders by affording to directors, officers and other employees of the Company an opportunity to acquire or increase their proprietary interest in the Company using stock options. Option shares authorized under the plan total 115,500. Options are to be granted with an exercise period of 10 years or less, an exercise price of not less than the fair market value of the stock on the date the options are granted and a vesting period as determined by the Board of Directors. The plan will terminate on the earliest of: (i) March 20, 2010; (ii) when all shares have been issued through exercise of options granted under this Plan; or (iii) at any earlier time that the Board of Directors may determine. At December 31, 2009, 46,218 shares were available under the plan.
The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option valuation model that uses the weighted average assumptions noted in the following table. The expected volatility and life assumptions are based on historical experience. The interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve and the dividend yield assumption is based on the Company's history and expected dividend payouts.

NOTE O - COMMITMENTS
There are various commitments which arise in the normal course of business, such as commitments under commercial letters of credit, standby letters of credit and commitments to extend credit. These arrangements have credit risk essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers and are subject to the Bank's normal credit policies. Collateral generally consists of receivables, inventory and equipment and is obtained based on management's credit assessment of the customer.
At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company had $0 and $21,000, respectively, of commitments under commercial letters of credit, used to facilitate customers' trade transactions.
Under standby letter of credit agreements, the Company agrees to honor certain commitments in the event that its customers are unable to do so. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, commitments under outstanding standby letters of credit were $1,457,000 and $2,035,000, respectively.
Loan commitments outstanding to extend credit are detailed below (in thousands):

Totals | $ | 59,823 |
| $ | 69,271 |
|
The fixed rate commitments have stated interest rates ranging from 4.50% to 14.00%. The terms of the above commitments range from 1 to 120 months.
Management does not anticipate any losses as a result of the above related transactions; however, the above amount represents the maximum exposure to credit loss for loan commitments and commercial and standby letters of credit.
Certain executives of the Bank have employment contracts which have change of control clauses. The employment contracts provide for the payment of 2.99 times the officer's base salary and bonus if the officer is terminated in the event of a change of control.
NOTE P - ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
Accumulated other comprehensive income amounted to $193,000 at December 31, 2009 and $413,000 at December 31, 2008 and is summarized as follows (in thousands):

NOTE T - FAIR VALUE INFORMATION
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair values for financial instruments:
Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amount reported in the balance sheet approximates fair value.
Securities available for sale: Fair values for securities available for sale are based on quoted market prices, where available. For all other securities, the Company obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information, and the bond's terms and conditions, among other things.
Loans and loans held for sale, net: For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. The fair values for other loans are estimated using discounted cash flows analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. The allowance for loan losses is considered to be a reasonable estimate of discount for credit quality concerns.
Accrued interest receivable: The carrying amount reported in the balance sheet approximates fair value.
Off-balance-sheet financial instruments: The estimated fair value of off-balance-sheet financial instruments is based on current fees or costs that would be charged to enter or terminate the arrangements. The estimated fair value is not considered to be significant for this presentation.
Deposits: The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (e.g., interest and non-interest checking, passbook savings, and certain types of money market accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts). Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of expected monthly maturities on time deposits.

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase, overnight borrowings and federal funds sold:The carrying amount reported in the balance sheet approximates fair value.
Other borrowings: The fair value of other borrowings is estimated using discounted cash flows analysis based on the current incremental borrowing rate for similar types of borrowing arrangements.
Subordinated debentures:The carrying amount reported in the balance sheet approximates fair value of the variable-rate subordinated debentures.
Accrued interest payable:The carrying amount reported in the balance sheet approximates fair value.
While these estimates of fair value are based on management's judgment of appropriate factors, there is no assurance that if the Company had disposed of such items at December 31, 2009 and 2008, the estimated fair values would have been achieved. Market values may differ depending on various circumstances not taken into consideration in this methodology. The estimated fair values at December 31, 2009 and 2008 should not necessarily be considered to apply at subsequent dates.
In addition, other assets and liabilities that are not defined as financial instruments are not included in the following disclosures, such as property and equipment. Also, non-financial instruments typically not recognized in financial statements may have value but are not included in the following disclosures. These include, among other items, the estimated earnings power of core deposit accounts, the trained work force, customer goodwill and similar items.

NOTE U - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Fair Value Measurements Topic of ASC 820-10 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820-10-20 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The price in the principal (or most advantageous) market used to measure the fair value of the asset or liability shall not be adjusted for transaction costs. An orderly transaction is a transaction that assumes exposure to the market for a period prior to the measurement date to allow for marketing activities that are usual and customary for transactions involving such assets and liabilities; it is not a forced tran saction. Market participants are buyers and sellers in the principal market that are (i) independent, (ii) knowledgeable, (iii) able to transact, and (iv) willing to transact.
ASC 820-10 requires the use of valuation techniques that are consistent with the market approach, the income approach, and/or the cost approach. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets and liabilities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts, such as cash flows or earnings, to a single present amount on a discounted basis. The cost approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost). Valuation techniques should be consistently applied. Inputs to valuation techniques refer to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Inputs may be observable, meaning those that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from independent sources, or unobservable, meaning those that reflect the re porting entity's own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. In that regard, ASC Topic 820-10-55 establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:
Level 1 Inputs - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 Inputs- Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as interest rates, volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.), or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3 Inputs - Unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of assets or liabilities that reflect an entity's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.
A description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, follows. These valuation methodologies were applied to all of the Company's financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities carried at fair value.
In general, fair value is based upon quoted market prices, where available. If such quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that primarily use, as inputs, observable market-based parameters. Valuation adjustments may be made to ensure that financial instruments are recorded at fair value. These adjustments may include amounts to reflect counterparty credit quality, the company's creditworthiness, among other things, as well as unobservable parameters. Any such valuation adjustments are applied consistently over time. The Company's valuation methodologies may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. While management believes the Company's valuation methodologies are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fai r value at the reporting date.

NOTE U - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (CONTINUED)
Securities Available for Sale. Securities classified as available for sale are reported at fair value utilizing Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 inputs. Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets are utilized to determine fair value at the measurement date for Level 1 securities. For all other securities, the Company obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information, and the bond's terms and conditions, among other things. When there are unobservable inputs, such securities are classified as Level 3.
Securities available for sale classified as Level 3 inputs represent non-publicly traded municipal issues with limited trading activity from entities within the Company's market area. The fair value of these investments was determined using Level 3 valuation techniques, as there is no market available to price these investment securities. The method used for determining the fair value for these investment securities included a comparison to the fair value of other investment securities valued with Level 2 inputs with similar characteristics (credit, time to maturity, call structure, etc.) and the interest yield curve for comparable debt investment securities.
Impaired Loans. The Company does not record impaired loans at fair value on a recurring basis. However, periodically, a loan is considered impaired and is reported at the fair value of the underlying collateral, less estimated costs to sell, if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Impaired loans measured at fair value typically consist of loans on nonaccrual status and loans with a portion of the allowance for loan losses allocated specific to the loan. Some loans may be included in both categories whereas other loans may only be included in one category. Collateral values are estimated using level 2 inputs, including recent appraisals, and Level 3 inputs based on customized discounting criteria. Due to the significance of the level 3 inputs, impaired loans have been classified as level 3.
Other Real Estate Owned (OREO). The Company values OREO at the fair value of the underlying collateral less expected selling costs. Collateral values are estimated primarily using appraisals and reflect a market value approach.
The following table summarizes financial and nonfinancial assets (there were no financial or nonfinancial liabilities) measured at fair value as of December 31, 2009, segregated by the level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value (in thousands):

NOTE V - REGULATORY MATTERS
Banks and bank holding companies are subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and, additionally for banks, prompt corrective action regulations involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators. Failure to meet capital requirements can initiate regulatory action that could have a direct material adverse effect on the consolidated financial statements. Prompt corrective action provisions are not applicable to bank holding companies.
The prompt corrective action regulations provide five capital categories, including well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If only adequately capitalized, regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits. If undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is asset growth and expansion, and plans for capital restoration are required.

None.
Item 9A(T). | Controls and Procedures |
Management of Southern Michigan Bancorp, Inc. is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective disclosure controls and procedures, as defined under Rule 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. An evaluation was performed under the supervision, and with the participation, of Southern's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of Southern's disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2009. Based on and as of the time of that evaluation, Southern's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that Southern's disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by Southern in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms.
Management of Southern Michigan Bancorp, Inc. is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined under Rule 15a-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Southern's internal control system is designed to provide reasonable assurance to Southern's management and Board of Directors regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of Southern; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of Southern are being made only in accordance with a uthorizations of management and directors of Southern; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of Southern's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Further, because of changes in conditions, the effectiveness of internal control may change over time.
Southern's management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, assessed the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009. In making this assessment, management used the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in "Internal Control-Integrated Framework". Based on this assessment, management believes that as of December 31, 2009, Southern's internal control over financial reporting was effective based on those criteria.
There were no changes in Southern's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2009 that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, Southern's internal control over financial reporting.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of Southern's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by Southern's registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit Southern to provide only management's report in this annual report.

Additional Narrative Disclosure
ESOP and 401(k) Plan
The Southern Michigan Bank & Trust Employee Stock Ownership Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code") and includes 401(k) provisions.
The purpose of the 401(k) plan is to permit Southern Michigan Bank employees, including the named executive officers, to save for retirement on a pre-tax basis. In addition to an employee's pre-tax contributions, Southern Michigan Bank may make discretionary matching and employee stock ownership plan contributions to the 401(k) plan. If Southern Michigan Bank makes matching or employee stock ownership plan contributions to the 401(k) plan, those contributions are immediately 100% vested. Southern Michigan Bank has generally made a matching contribution to the 401(k) plan each year. All full-time employees who are 21 years of age or older are eligible to participate in the plan.
Each participant in the 401(k) plan has an account to record the participant's interest in the plan. Amounts contributed by or on behalf of a participant are credited to his or her account. A participant's benefit from the 401(k) plan is equal to the vested amount in the participant's account when he or she terminates employment with Southern Michigan Bank. The employee stock ownership portion of the plan, in part, is designed to invest primarily in Southern common stock.
Southern Michigan Bank & Trust Pension Plan
Effective December 31, 2009, The Southern Michigan Bank & Trust Pension Plan was fully frozen. The plan was partially frozen in 2006 for participants who did not meet certain age and years of service requirements. Participants who met the age and years of service requirements continued accruing benefits until the plan was fully frozen in 2009. The named executive officers did not meet the age and years of service requirements, so they were not accruing additional benefits under the plan after the partial freeze in 2006.
Before the freeze, employees were eligible to participate in the Southern Michigan Bank & Trust Pension Plan at age 21 after completing one year of service in which the employee worked at least 1,000 hours. A participant is considered vested after 5 years of vesting service. A year of vesting service is credited for each calendar year that a participant is credited with 1,000 hours of service, including years before the plan was adopted and before the participant reached age 18.
The normal retirement benefit under the plan is calculated using a benefit formula of 35% of the participant's average compensation (reduced proportionately for less than 30 years of benefit service at normal retirement) multiplied by a fraction based on the participant's actual years of service compared to the years of service the participant would have accumulated at normal retirement. Average compensation is defined as the highest five year annual average W-2 compensation. Normal retirement age is defined as age 65. An early retirement benefit is available for participants age 55 with 5 years of service. None of the named executive officers are eligible for early retirement benefits from the plan.
The normal form of benefit from the plan is a qualified joint and survivor annuity. Participants may elect a lump sum, life annuity with period certain or joint and survivor annuity as an optional form of benefit with spousal consent.
Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan
On December 17, 2007, the board of directors of Southern Michigan Bank adopted the Southern Michigan Bank & Trust Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the "SERP"). The board of Southern Michigan Bank designated John S. Castle, Kurt G. Miller, and Danice L. Chartrand as participants in the SERP.
Under the SERP, each participant receives a benefit equal to the difference between the pension benefit the participant would have received under the Southern Michigan Bank & Trust Pension Plan (the "Pension Plan") had the Pension Plan not been frozen (i.e., participants in the Pension Plan no longer accrue benefits under the Pension Plan) effective December 31, 2006, and the pension benefit the participant actually receives from the Pension Plan.
The benefits under the Plan are vested under the same schedule as the participant's benefit under the Pension Plan and will be paid upon the participant's termination of employment in the form of a lump sum or annuity, as elected by the participant.
In February of 2009, the board of directors froze accrual of additional benefits under the SERP as of December 31, 2008. The board of directors, in its discretion, may determine to allow the accrual of additional benefits under the SERP in the future.
Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation
The named executive officers are eligible to participate in a non-qualified deferred compensation plan. Participants in the plan may elect to defer up to 100% of their salary and other cash compensation on an annual basis.
The plan provides that Southern will pay to each participant a lump sum or 180 equal monthly payments, as the participant elects, upon early retirement (age 60) or normal retirement (age 65), disability or a change in control of Southern. If the participant's termination of employment occurs prior to early retirement, the participant will receive a lump sum distribution. No payments will be made before the date that is six months after termination of employment. Payments to which the participant would otherwise have been entitled during the six months will be accumulated and paid on the first day after six months following the date of participant's termination of employment.
Under terms of the plan, if the executive officer dies while in the active service of Southern, the executive officer's beneficiary will receive a supplemental death benefit. This supplemental death benefit will be the estimated deferral account balance at the executive officer's normal retirement age divided by 180, payable monthly for 180 months. The estimated deferral account balance will be calculated by taking the deferral account balance on the date of death plus the average monthly contribution made over the previous 12 months, projected at the current plan interest rate (not to exceed 7%), to the executive officer's normal retirement age. This amount will not exceed the net death benefit paid to the bank under the executive officer's bank owned life insurance policy(s). No premiums were paid in 2009 on any named executive's bank owned life insurance policies.
Agreements with Payments Upon Resignation, Retirement, Termination of Employment, or Change in Control
Information about the material terms of the employment agreements for John H. Castle and Kurt G. Miller and the Retention Agreement for Danice L. Chartrand that provide payments to Messrs. Castle and Miller and Ms. Chartrand upon their resignation, retirement, termination of employment or a change in control of Southern are described above under "Executive Compensation - Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table," and is here incorporated by reference.
Compensation of Directors
Directors who are not employed by Southern or any subsidiary of Southern ("non-employee directors") received an annual retainer of $13,000 in 2009. The Chairman of the Audit Committee received an additional $2,000 retainer. The Chairman of the Compensation Committee and the Chairman of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee each received an additional $1,000 retainer. Directors who are employed by Southern or the Bank do not receive director compensation.
Directors are eligible to participate in a deferred fee plan, which allows the director to defer all or part of his or her director fees. Under the deferred fee plan, directors are entitled to a supplemental death benefit, which is funded by bank owned life insurance. No premiums were paid in 2009 on any directors' bank owned life insurance policies.
The following table summarizes the compensation of Southern's directors who are not named executive officers.

Item 13. | Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence |
Directors, officers, principal shareholders and their associates and family members were customers of, and had transactions (including loans and loan commitments) with, our bank subsidiary in the ordinary course of business during 2009. All such loans and commitments were made in the ordinary course of business, on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other persons and did not involve more than a normal risk of collectibility or present other unfavorable features. Similar transactions may be expected to take place in the ordinary course of business in the future. None of these loan relationships presently in effect are in default as of the date of this proxy statement.
We have adopted written policies to implement the requirements of Regulation O of the Federal Reserve System, which restricts the extension of credit to directors and executive officers and their family members and other related interests. Under these policies, extensions of credit that exceed regulatory thresholds must be approved by the board of directors of the Bank. We have adopted a written policy that requires the Audit Committee to review, evaluate, and approve other transactions between Southern and its affiliates or other related parties, including transactions in which a director or executive officer or immediate family member may have a direct or indirect material interest.
On June 25, 2009, Southern purchased a parcel of land from Burr Oak Tool, Inc. for $220,000. Brian McConnell, a director of Southern, is the chief executive officer of Burr Oak Tool, Inc. Other than in his capacity as Chief Executive Officer and a shareholder of Burr Oak Tool, Inc., Mr. McConnell had no interest in the transaction. Because the transaction was related to potential expansion plans, an area of oversight of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee reviewed, evaluated, and recommended approval of the transaction to the full board. The full board approved the transaction as recommended.
Item 14. | Principal Accountant Fees and Services |

The Audit Committee Charter provides the policy and procedures for the approval by the Audit Committee of all services provided by Clifton Gunderson LLP. The charter requires that all services provided by the independent auditors, including audit-related services and non-audit services, must be pre-approved by the Audit Committee. The charter allows the Audit Committee to delegate to one or more members of the Audit Committee the authority to approve the independent auditors' services. The decisions of any Audit Committee member to whom authority is delegated to pre-approve services are reported to the full Audit Committee. The charter also provides that the Audit Committee has authority and responsibility to approve and authorize payment of the independent auditors' fees. Finally, the charter sets forth certain services that the independent auditors are prohibited from providing to Southern or its subsidiaries. All of the services described above were approved by the Au dit Committee. None of the audit-related fees or tax fees were approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to thede minimus exception set forth in Section 10A(i)(1)(B) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, although the Audit Committee Charter allows such approval.
