PROXY STATEMENT

GENERAL INFORMATION

          This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies on behalf of the Board of Directors of Southern Michigan Bancorp, Inc., a Michigan corporation (the "Company"), to be voted at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the Company to be held on Monday, April 19, 2004 at 4:00 p.m. at the Dearth Community Center, located at the Fairgrounds, in Coldwater, Michigan (the "Annual Meeting"), or any adjournment thereof, for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

          The costs of soliciting proxies will be paid by the Company. Proxies may be solicited by mail, in person or by telephone by directors, officers and regular employees of the Company. These persons will not be specially compensated for soliciting proxies. The Company will request brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to forward materials to beneficial owners of shares of the Company held of record by such persons and will reimburse them for their reasonable charges and out-of-pocket expenses in connection therewith. This Proxy Statement and accompanying proxy card were first sent or given to shareholders on March 12, 2004.

          As of February 27, 2004, the record date for the Annual Meeting, there were 1,849,328 shares of common stock of the Company, par value $2.50 per share (the "Common Stock"), issued and outstanding. Each outstanding share is entitled to one vote on each matter submitted to a vote at the Annual Meeting. The transaction of business at the Annual Meeting requires the presence of a quorum, which will be established by the presence or representation at the Annual Meeting of shares of the Company entitled to cast a majority of the votes at the meeting. Directors will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast, whether in person or by proxy, by holders of the Common Stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting (see "Proposal 1 - Election of Directors"). The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by holders of shares entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is necessary to approve Proposal 2. Shares as to which authority is withheld in the election of directors, abstentio ns and broker non-votes will be counted for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum. Since they are not votes cast, shares as to which authority is withheld will have no effect on the election of directors and abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on approving of Proposals 2. The affirmative vote of the holders of two-thirds of the shares entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is necessary to approve Proposal 4. The affirmative vote of a majority of the share entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is necessary to approve Proposals 3 and 5. However, for Proposals 3, 4 and 5 broker non-votes, and other shares not voted will have the same effect as a vote against the proposal.

          Proxies are revocable by the delivery of written notice of revocation to the Secretary of the Company at any time before the proxy is exercised. The signing of a proxy does not preclude a shareholder from attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person. Only shareholders of record or persons holding valid proxies may vote at the Annual Meeting. Shareholders who hold shares in street name through a broker, bank or institutional holder must obtain a proxy from the record holder to vote their shares at the Annual Meeting. All proxies returned before the Annual Meeting will be voted in accordance with the instructions contained therein. If the proxy is not marked with the shareholder's instructions as to voting, the shares to which the proxy relates will be voted for the nominees for director named in this Proxy

1
Statement, for Proposals 2, 3, 4, and 5 and in the discretion of the proxies on any other business that may properly come before the Annual Meeting. All shareholders are encouraged to mark, date and sign the enclosed proxy card and return it to Registrar and Transfer Company, the transfer agent for the Company's stock.

As a matter of internal policy, the Bank does not exercise any power to dispose or direct the disposition of such shares and requires authority from its customers prior to any disposition. Certain of the customers on whose behalf the Bank holds the securities have the sole right to receive and the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or proceeds from the sale of, such shares. No single customer has an interest that relates to 5% or more of such shares. The Bank is also the trustee of an ESOP/401-K Plan for its employees which holds 94,975 shares of Southern Michigan Bancorp, Inc. stock. Of that number, 87,524 shares are allocated to employee accounts. The Bank holds no power to vote or direct the disposition of shares allocated to employee accounts and the Bank disclaims beneficial ownership of such shares.

The number of shares stated are based on information furnished by each person listed and include shares personally owned of record by that person and shares that are considered to be otherwise beneficially owned by that person. Under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, a "beneficial owner" of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship or otherwise has or shares voting power or dispositive power with respect to the security. Voting power includes the power to vote or direct the voting of the security. Dispositive power includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of the security. A person will also be considered the beneficial owner of a security if the person has a right to acquire beneficial ownership of the security within 60 days, such as through the exercise of a stock option. Shares held in fiduciary capacities by the Company are not included in shares beneficially owned by individ uals unless otherwise indicated. The directors and officers of the Company may, by reason of their positions, be in a position to influence the voting or disposition of shares held in trust by the Company to some degree, but disclaim beneficial ownership of these shares. The Company and the Bank disclaim beneficial ownership of shares held by the Bank in fiduciary capacities.

(2)

These numbers of shares shown in this column include shares over which the listed person is legally entitled to share voting or dispositive power by reason of joint ownership, trust, or other contract or property right, and shares held by spouses and children over whom the listed person may have substantial influence by reason of relationship.

(3)	The stock options included in this column are only those options that are exercisable within 60 days. Options that vest at later dates are not reported in this table.
(*)	Less than one percent (1%).

          The Company is not aware of any arrangements which may result in a change in control of the Company.

Meetings and Committees of the Board of Directors

          The Board of Directors of the Company held 12 meetings during 2003. All directors attended at least 75% of the aggregate of the total number of meetings of the Board of Directors and the total number of meetings held by all standing committees of the Board on which they serve.

          The Company's Board of Directors has established an Audit Committee for the purpose of overseeing the accounting and financial reporting processes of the Company and audits of the financial statements of the Company. It held 5 meetings during 2003. During 2003, the committee was comprised of Messrs. Cole, Hull, Hooker and Mrs. Albright. The Audit Committee determines whether adequate internal controls are being maintained. It meets with the Company's independent auditors to review internal controls, procedures of the Company and the Bank, the scope of internal audits, the financial position of the Company and external audits of the Company.

          The Company's Board of Directors has a Compensation Committee which held 4 meetings during 2003. The Committee is comprised of Messrs. Cole, Briskey and Hooker. The Compensation Committee is responsible for setting and administering the policies which govern annual compensation and incentive programs. In addition, from time to time, it reviews all executive compensation and benefit programs available to executive officers of the Company and to all officers and staff of the Bank. The Committee makes recommendations to the Board of Directors with respect to the Compensation of the Chief Executive Officer, as well as reviewing and approving the Chief Executive Officer's recommendations for other officers of the Company.

          The Company's Board of Directors has an Executive Committee which held 1 meeting during 2003. The Committee is comprised of Messrs. Briskey, Castle, Cole, Galliers, Hull, Kolassa, and Miller. The Executive Committee reviews major policy changes, evaluates the performance of the Chief Executive Officer and reviews any merger or expansion plans. The Executive Committee also reviews any executive officer promotions and acts as the nominating committee for future members of the Board of Directors.

Nominations

          The Executive Committee, functioning as the nominating committee, will consider nominees recommended by shareholders of the Company. The Company's Bylaws establish a procedure with regard to nominations, other than by or at the direction of the Board of Directors of the Company, of candidates for election as directors (the "Notice Procedure"). The Notice

6
Procedure provides that only persons who are nominated by the Board of Directors or by a shareholder who has given timely written notice to the Secretary of the Company prior to the meeting at which directors are to be elected will be eligible for election, as the case may be, at the Annual Meeting. To timely nominate an individual under the Notice Procedure, a shareholder must deliver notice to the Secretary of the Company not less than 30 days, but no more than 90 days, prior to the anniversary date of the record date for determination of shareholders entitled to vote in the immediately preceding annual meeting of shareholders. The Secretary has not received any such notice. Nominees proposed by a shareholder for which written proxy solicitation by the Board of Directors is sought shall be made in writing and shall be delivered to the Chairman or the Secretary of the Company by December 31 of the year preceding the year in which the nomination is proposed. Under the Notice Procedure, notice to the Company from a shareholder who proposes to nominate a person at an annual meeting for election as a director must contain such nominee's name, occupation, age, business and residential address and beneficial ownership interest in the Company, together with evidence of such person's willingness to serve as a director if elected. Such notice must also be accompanied by a completed Director Qualification, Eligibility and Disclosure Questionnaire and evidence that the proposed nominee is eligible to serve as a director, all as required by, and in accordance with the Company's Bylaws.

          The Executive Committee does not have a charter. Messrs. Briskey, Cole, Galliers, Hull and Kolassa are independent directors, as defined in Rule 4200(a)(15) of the National Association of Securities Dealers. Messrs. Castle and Miller are not. The Board of Directors considers its Executive Committee to be sufficiently independent to meet the needs of the Company and its shareholders.

          The Board of Directors believes the Company and its shareholders are best served by having a Board of Directors that brings a diversity of education, experience, skills and perspective to board meetings. While the Board of Directors expects each director to be a highly qualified individual, it has no specific qualifications or criteria for nomination for election or appointment to the board.

Compensation of the Board of Directors

          Currently, each director of the Company whose principal occupation is not as an employee of the Company or the Bank receives an annual fee of $9,000. In addition, other than the Audit Committee, outside directors are compensated $159 for each committee meeting attended. Audit Committee members receive $306 for each meeting attended and the Audit Committee Chairman receives an additional $1,500 annual fee. Outside directors also participate in a bonus program based upon the achievement of growth and profitability goals. There were no bonus payments for 2003. The directors are eligible to receive stock options under the Southern Michigan Bancorp, Inc. 2000 Stock Option Plan. In 2003 each non-employee director received options to purchase 300 at an exercise price of $16.55, which was the market value at the date of grant.

          The Bank executed deferred fee agreements with each member of the Board of the Directors of the Bank whereby each member of the Board of Directors may elect to defer a

7
portion of his or her fees as a director. The deferred fees are placed into an account and earn interest, compounded monthly, at an annual rate equal to the Merrill Lynch 10+ year high quality corporate bond rate. A director may modify the amount of fees he or she defers at the beginning of each year. Upon termination of a director prior to age 60 (for reasons other than death or disability), the director is entitled to the amount of his deferrals plus earnings on such deferrals as of the date of termination, payable in a lump sum within 90 days after the date of termination. Upon termination of a director's employment prior to age 70, as a result of disability or a change of control, or upon the director's retirement, the director is entitled to a benefit in an amount equal to his deferrals plus earnings on such deferrals and interest shall continue to occur during any installment payment period. The Bank may also distribute a portion of the deferred fees plus earnings if the Bank determines the director ha s suffered an unforeseeable financial emergency. If a director dies while in active service of the Bank, the Bank shall pay to the beneficiary of the deceased director the balance of the deferred fees plus earnings, additionally the Bank will pay to the beneficiary an amount equal to the estimated amount of deferred fees at the director's 65^th birthday. In the event any payments under the agreement to a director would result in an "Excess Parachute Payment" under Section 280G under the Internal Revenue Code, then such amount shall be reduced so that such amount will not trigger the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code.

Shareholder Communications

          Shareholders who wish to send communications to the Company's Board of Directors may do so by sending them in care of the Secretary of the Company at the address which appears on the first page of this proxy statement. Such communications may be addressed either to specified individual directors or the entire Board. The Secretary has the discretion to screen and not forward to directors communications which the Secretary determines in his or her discretion are communications unrelated to the business or governance of the Company and its subsidiaries, commercial solicitations, offensive, obscene, or otherwise inappropriate. The Secretary will, however, compile all shareholder communications which are not forwarded and such communications will be available to any director.

Annual Meeting Attendance

          All directors are expected to attend each annual meeting of the shareholders of the Company unless compelling personal circumstances prevent attendance.

Audit Committee

Audit Committee Report.

          The Audit Committee reports that, with respect to the Company's audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003 (the "Consolidated Financial Statements"): (i) the Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the Consolidated Financial Statements with the Company's management; (ii) the Audit Committee has discussed with its independent auditors (Crowe, Chizek and Company LLC) the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards 61, as modified or supplemented, which include, among other items, matters

8
related to the conduct of the audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements; (iii) the Audit Committee has received written disclosures and the letter from the independent auditors required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (which relates to the auditor's independence from the Company and its related entities), as modified or supplemented, and has discussed with the auditors their independence from the Company; and (iv) based on the review and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the Consolidated Financial Statements be included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003 for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED BY THE MEMBERS OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE:
H. Kenneth Cole, Marcia Albright, Nolan E. Hooker & Gregory J. Hull.

Audit Committee Charter.

          The Board of Directors has adopted a written charter for the Audit Committee. A copy of the current charter is attached as Appendix A. The Board of Directors reviews and approves changes to the Audit Committee Charter annually, and amended the charter on February 16, 2004.

Independence of Audit Committee Members.

          During 2003, the Company's Audit Committee was comprised of Messrs. Cole, Hull, Hooker and Mrs. Albright. Each of these members meets the requirements for independence as defined in Rule 4200(a)(15) of the National Association of Securities Dealers'.

          The Board of Directors has determined that H. Kenneth Cole is an audit committee financial expert as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 401(h).

Compensation Committee Report on Executive Compensation

Executive Compensation Policies.

          The Company's executive compensation policies are designed to support the corporate objective of maximizing the long-term value of the Company to its shareholders and employees. To achieve this objective, the Compensation Committee believes it is important to provide competitive levels of compensation to attract and retain the most qualified executives, to recognize individuals who exceed expectations and to link closely overall corporate performance and executive pay.

          The Company has established two primary components of the Company's executive compensation plan. The two components are: (a) base compensation; and (b) stock-based performance compensation through stock option grants.

9

Base Compensation.

          The Compensation Committee annually reviews base salaries of executive officers. Factors which influence decisions made by the Compensation Committee regarding base salaries are levels of responsibility and potential for future responsibilities, salary levels offered by competitors and overall performance of the Company. The Compensation Committee's practice in establishing salary levels is based in part upon overall Company performance and is not based upon any specific objectives or policies, but reflects the subjective judgment of the Compensation Committee. However, specific annual performance goals are established for each executive officer. Based on the Compensation Committee's comparison of the Company's overall compensation levels as a percent of revenues and net income to comparable companies in the industry, the Compensation Committee believes its overall compensation levels are at or below the median range.

Stock Option Grants.

          Executive compensation to reward past performance and to motivate future performance will also be provided through stock options granted under the Southern Michigan Bancorp, Inc. 2000 Stock Option Plan. The purpose of the plan is to encourage executive officers to maintain a long-term stock ownership position in the Company in order that their interests are aligned with those of the Company's shareholders. The Board of Directors, in its discretion, has the authority to determine participants in the plan, the number of shares to be granted and the option price and term. Consideration for stock option awards are evaluated on a subjective basis and granted to participants until an ownership position exists which is consistent with the participant's current responsibilities.

Chief Executive Officer Compensation.

          The Compensation Committee established Mr. Castle's base salary based primarily on a subjective evaluation of the Company's prior year's financial results, past salary levels and compensation paid to other chief executive officers in the Company's industry. Based on the Compensation Committee's comparison of the Company's overall compensation level for Mr. Castle as a percent of revenue and net income to comparable companies in the industry, the Compensation Committee believes their overall compensation level is at or below the median of the range.

RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED BY THE MEMBERS OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE:
Nolan E. Hooker, James P. Briskey, and H. Kenneth Cole.

          Officers of the Company participate in the Southern Michigan Bank & Trust Retirement Plan (the "Retirement Plan"), which has been adopted by the Bank. Under the terms of the Retirement Plan, a normal monthly retirement benefit is provided to covered employees who attain the age of 65. It provides for a normal retirement benefit after 30 years of credited service equal to 35% of a participant's actual monthly compensation based on the participant's highest consecutive 5 year average compensation. Covered compensation is approximately comparable to annual compensation shown in the Summary Compensation table above. For participants with less than 30 years credited service, reduced benefits are available in an amount equal to the normal retirement benefit reduced by 1/30 for each year of service less than 30. Participants are 100% vested after 5 years of credited service, and are subject to forfeiture upon termination of employment with credited service less than 5 years. Mr. Castle has 2 years of credited service

under the Retirement Plan. Mr. Johnson has 28 credited years of service under the Retirement Plan. Mr. Miller has no years of credited service under the Retirement Plan. The following table represents estimated normal annual benefits payable on a straight-life annuity basis upon retirement at age 65 and are not subject to deduction for social security benefits:

          On December 9, 2003 the Bank executed deferred compensation agreements with Messrs. Castle, Miller and Johnson ("Executives"), whereby each may elect to defer a portion of his compensation. The deferred compensation is placed into an account and earns interest, compounded monthly, at an annual rate equal to the Merrill Lynch 10+ year high quality corporate bond rate. The Executives may modify the amount of compensation he defers at the beginning of each year. Upon termination of an Executive prior to age 60 (for reasons other than death or disability), the Executive is entitled to the amount of his deferrals plus earnings on such deferrals as of the date of termination, payable in a lump sum within 90 days after the date of termination. Upon termination of the Executive's employment prior to age 60 as a result of disability or a change of control, or upon the Executive's retirement, the Executive is entitled to a benefit in an amount equal to his deferrals plus earnings on such deferrals and interest shall continue to occur during any installment payment period. The Bank may also distribute a portion of the deferred compensation plus earnings if the Bank determines the Executive has suffered an unforeseeable financial emergency. If an Executive dies while in active service of the Bank, the Bank shall pay to the beneficiary of the deceased Executive the balance of the deferred compensation plus earnings, additionally the Bank will pay to the beneficiary an amount equal to the estimated amount of deferred compensation at the Executive's 65^th birthday. In the event any payments under the agreement to a director would result in an "Excess Parachute Payment" under Section 280G under the Internal Revenue Code, then such amount shall be reduced so that such amount will not trigger the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code.

Employment Agreements.

          The Company executed an employment agreement with Mr. Castle whereby Mr. Castle will serve as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and the Bank that will expire on December 31, 2004. Mr. Castle's annual salary will be not less than $150,000 plus such

14
additional or special compensation based upon his performance, pursuant to the terms of a bonus plan to be adopted by the Company. If Mr. Castle is terminated as a result of Mr. Castle's death or disability or by the Company for cause prior to a change in control, Mr. Castle will receive his compensation through the date of his death, disability or termination. In the event Mr. Castle's employment is terminated by the Company without cause prior to a change in control he will be entitled to receive his compensation until the later of December 31, 2004 or one year after such termination date. In the event that following a change in control, Mr. Castle's employment is terminated by him for good reason or by the Company without cause, he will be entitled to 2.99 times his compensation. In the event any payments under the agreement to Mr. Castle result in an "Excess Parachute Payment" under Section 280G under the Internal Revenue Code, then such amount shall be reduced so that such amount will not trigger the ex cise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code. The agreement also provides that during the term thereof, and for a period of one year following the termination of employment (unless such termination occurs in connection with a change in control), Mr. Castle will not compete in the financial services industry within Branch county and surrounding counties.

          The Company also executed an employment agreement with Mr. Miller whereby Mr. Miller served as the President of the Company and the Bank. Mr. Miller's annual salary was $120,000 plus such additional or special compensation based upon his performance, pursuant to the terms of a bonus plan as adopted by the Company. If Mr. Miller was terminated as a result of Mr. Miller's death or disability or by the Company for cause prior to a change in control, Mr. Miller would have received his compensation through the date of his death, disability or termination. In the event Mr. Miller's employment was terminated by the Company without cause prior to a change in control he would have been entitled to receive his compensation until the expiration date of the contract or one year after such termination date. In the event that a change in control had occurred, Mr. Miller 's employment was terminated by him for good reason or by the Company without cause, he would have been entitled to 2.99 times his compensation. In the event any payments under the agreement to Mr. Miller would have resulted in an "Excess Parachute Payment" under Section 280G under the Internal Revenue Code, then such amount would have been reduced so that such amount would not trigger the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code. The agreement also provided that during the term thereof, and for a period of one year following the termination of employment (unless such termination has occurred in connection with a change in control), Mr. Miller would not compete in the financial services industry within Branch county and surrounding counties. This employment agreement expired on December 31, 2003, but is expected to be replaced.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

          The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors during the last fiscal year consisted of James P. Briskey, H. Kenneth Cole, and Nolan E. Hooker. No member of the Compensation Committee was at any time during fiscal year 2003, or at any other time, an officer or employee of the Company. During fiscal year 2003, no member of the Compensation Committee was an executive officer of another entity on whose compensation committee or board of directors an executive officer of the Company served.

15

Transactions with Directors and Officers

          Directors and officers of the Company and their associates were customers of, and had transactions with the Bank in the ordinary course of business during 2003. All loans and commitments included in such transactions 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 the normal risk of collectibility or present other unfavorable features.

PROPOSAL (2) - RATIFICATION OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

          Crowe, Chizek and Company LLC conducted an independent audit of the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2003. Upon the recommendation of the Audit Committee, the Board of Directors has selected Crowe, Chizek and Company LLC to act as the Company's independent auditors for 2004.

          This selection is being submitted to shareholders for ratification. While such ratification is not required, the Company believes it is an important corporate decision in which shareholders should participate. If the selection is not ratified, the Board of Directors may, nevertheless, choose to retain Crowe, Chizek and Company LLC as auditors for 2004.

Audit Fees

          The aggregate fees billed by Crowe, Chizek and Company LLC for professional services rendered for the audit of the Company's financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 (including fees relating to annual report on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q) were $72,228 and $40,500, respectively. These fees are considered to be reasonably related to the performance of a review of the Company's financial statements.

Audit-Related Fees

          The aggregate fees billed by Crowe, Chizek and Company LLC for audit related professional services rendered in 2003 were $1,440. These fees were related to review of S-8 Registration Statement.

These fees were related to consulting services related to allowance for loan losses methodology, accounting treatment for viatical insurance investments, accounting for trust conflict of interest judgment and assistance with disclosure in quarterly press releases.

Tax Fees

          The aggregate fees billed by Crowe, Chizek and Company LLC for professional services rendered related to tax consulting services were $618 in 2002. There were no professional services rendered related to tax consulting services in 2003.

16

          The Audit Committee of the Company believes the services provided by Crowe, Chizek and Company LLC in exchange for the fees set forth above and under the captions set forth above are compatible with maintaining Crowe, Chizek and Company LLC's independence. All of the hours expended on Crowe, Chizek and Company LLC's engagement to audit the Company's financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003 were performed by full-time permanent employees of Crowe, Chizek and Company LLC.

          The Audit Committee has the authority and responsibility to pre-approve all audit and permissible non-audit services provided to the Company by the Company's independent external auditors. The Audit Committee may delegate to one or more designated members of the Audit Committee the authority to grant pre-approvals of permissible non-audit services. Approvals of permissible non-audit services are disclosed to investors by the Company in its periodic reports. All pre-approvals of audit and permissible non-audit services are to be reasonably detailed and particular as to the services provided. In no case may the Audit Committee delegated its pre-approval responsibilities to management. The Audit Committee will pre-approve only those non-audits services that are permitted by law. The actual compensation paid to the independent external auditor, for all such pre-approved services and fees, are reported to the Audit Committee on at least a quarterly basis.

          Representatives of Crowe, Chizek and Company LLC are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting to respond to appropriate questions from shareholders and to make any statements if they desire to do so.

          The Board of Directors recommends that shareholders vote FOR ratification of the selection of Crowe, Chizek and Company LLC as independent auditors for 2004.

PROPOSALS (3), (4), and (5) - AMENDMENTS TO THE
ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION

          The Board of Directors has unanimously approved, and recommends that the shareholders vote for the proposals to amend the Articles of Incorporation by adopting a new Article VII, amending Article XII, and adopting a new Article XIII. The following discussion summarizes the material changes to the Company's existing Articles of Incorporation that would be effected by the approval and adoption of these proposals. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of these articles, which are included as Appendices B, C, and D to this Proxy Statement.

          There will be separate votes on each proposal described below. The affirmative vote of the holders of two-thirds of the shares entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is required to adopt the amendments to Article XII. The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares entitle to vote at the Annual Meeting is required to adopt the new Articles VII and XIII. For the purpose of counting votes on these proposals abstentions, broker non-votes, and other shares not voted have the same effect as a vote against a proposal.

          The Articles of Incorporation presently contain provisions that limit the liability of directors and effect acquisition proposals, the subject matter of the proposals. However, these proposals have not arisen as a result of management's knowledge of a director's or officer's efforts to obtain indemnification or an effort to accumulate the Company's securities or obtain control of the Company. Directors may be deemed to have a personal interest in the approval of Articles VII, XII, and XIII.

Article VII

          Proposed Article VII of the Articles would provide that the Company shall indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the directors and officers of the Company who were or are a party or are threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, or is or was serving at the request of the Company in another capacity. The Company may further indemnify directors, and may indemnify persons who are not directors, to the extent authorized by the Michigan Business Corporation Act, the Company's bylaws, resolution of the board of directors, or contractual agreement authorized by the board of directors.

          The Board of Directors believes that proposed Article VII is in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders because it would provide the protections to directors and officers permitted by law, help to attract and retain the most qualified persons to fulfill the roles of directors and officers, and allow directors and officers to exercise discretion in management less influenced by the risk of liability.

Your Board of Directors recommends that you vote FOR
adoption of the proposal to add Article VII to the Articles of Incorporation.

18

Article XII

          Article XII presently requires a majority vote by the Board of Directors to change the size of the Board. Amended Article XII would require a two-thirds vote of the Board of Directors to change the size of the Board.

                    The effects of the proposal to amend Article XII may make it more difficult to effect certain transactions that some shareholders may support for economic reasons. In addition, the proposal may discourage attempts by others to acquire or attempt to obtain control of the Company. The Articles of Incorporation presently contain provisions that may effect acquisition proposals. These include classified board and supermajority voting requirements. Amended Article XII could be used to increase the time and level of difficulty required to change the composition of the Board of Directors and could therefore be considered an anti-takeover measure.

          The Board of Directors believes that the amendments to Article XII are in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders because they would reduce the risk that the protections inherent in the Company's classified board structure could be defeated by simply increasing the size of the Board of Directors (and then "packing" the board by filling the new positions) after one proxy contest.

Your Board of Directors recommends that you vote FOR
adoption of the proposal to amend Article XII of the Articles of Incorporation.

Article XIII

          Proposed Article XIII of the Articles would provide that the Board of Directors shall not approve, adopt or recommend any offer of any person or entity (other than the Company) to make a tender or exchange offer for any equity security of the Company, to merge or consolidate the Company with any other entity or to purchase or acquire all or substantially all of the Company's assets, unless and until the Board has evaluated the offer and determined that it would be in compliance with all applicable laws and that the offer is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. In making its determination as to whether the transaction would be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders, the Board would be permitted to consider all factors it deemed relevant, including but not limited to: (i) the fairness of the consideration to be received by the Company and its shareholders, the trading price of the Company's stock prior to the offer, historical tradi ng prices of the Company's stock, the price that could be achieved in a negotiated sale of the Company as a whole, past offers to other companies in connection with similar offers and the future prospects of the Company; (ii) the possible social and economic impact of the proposed transaction on the Company and its subsidiaries and their employees, customers, and depositors; (iii) the potential social and economic impact of the proposed transaction on the communities in which the Company and its subsidiaries operate or are located; (iv) the business and financial condition and earnings prospects of the offering party; (v) the competence, experience and integrity of the offering party and its management; and (vi) the intentions of the offering party regarding the use of the assets of the Company to finance the transaction.

19

          Article XIII could make it more difficult to effect certain transactions that some shareholders may support for economic reasons. Article XIII may encourage the Board of Directors to reject a proposal that some shareholders may find financially attractive. Article XIII could be considered an anti-takeover measure because the Board could consider factors other than just price in evaluating an offer to merge, consolidate or purchase the Company.

          The Board of Directors believes that the proposed Article XIII is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders because it would permit the Board to consider various factors in addition to price which may be important to the Company and its shareholders in evaluating various transactions to which the Company could be a party. Many of the Company's shareholders are customers, employees, or residents of the local communities served by the Bank. The Board of Directors therefore believes that consideration of the broad impact that a transaction could have on these constituencies is appropriate and in the best interests of shareholders generally. The Board of Directors believes that the Company has historically had and will continue to have a strong community presence and focus and that consideration of the various factors listed in Article XIII would be appropriate.

Your Board of Directors recommends that you vote FOR
adoption of the proposal to add Article XIII to the Articles of Incorporation.

DISCLOSURE OF DELINQUENT FILERS

          Based solely upon a review of Forms 3 and 4 furnished to the Company during the last fiscal year and Forms 5 and amendments to these forms (together with written representations from reporting persons that no Form 5 was required) furnished to the Company with respect to the last fiscal year, except as noted below, the Company is not aware of any person who, at any time during the last fiscal year, was a director, officer, or beneficial owner of more than 10% of the Company's Common Stock, that failed to file on a timely basis reports required by Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, during the most recent fiscal year or prior years.

The Audit Committee shall recommend the appointment and/or discharge of the Corporation's independent external auditor. The Audit Committee shall also have the authority and responsibility to pre-approve all audit and permissible non-audit services provided to the Corporation by the Corporation's independent external auditors. Approval of a permissible non-audit service to be performed by the Corporation's independent external auditors shall be disclosed to the Corporation's investors in its periodic reports. No pre-approval of permissible non-audit services is required if all of the following conditions exist:

a.	The aggregate amount of all such non-audit services provided to the Corporation constitutes not more than 5 percent of the total amount of revenues paid by the Corporation to its independent external auditors during the fiscal year in which the non-audit services are provided;
b.	Such non-audit services were not recognized by the Corporation at the time of the engagement to be non-audit services; and
c.	Such non-audit services are promptly brought to the attention of the Audit Committee and approved prior to the completion of the audit by the Audit Committee or by 1 or more members of the Audit Committee who are members of the Board to whom authority to grant such approvals has been delegated by the Audit Committee.

The Audit Committee may establish policies and procedures for pre-approving audit and permissible non-audit services by the independent external auditors. All pre-approvals of audit and permissible non-audit services granted by the Audit Committee shall be reasonably detailed as to the particular services to be provided and shall not result in the delegation of the Audit Committee's pre-approval responsibilities to management. Pre-approvals of services granted by the Audit Committee must not use monetary limits as the only basis for pre-approval and must not provide for broad categorical approvals (e.g., tax compliance services under $10,000). Any pre-approval policies adopted by the Audit Committee must be designed to ensure that the Audit Committee knows precisely what services it is being asked to pre-approve so that it can make a well-reasoned assessment of the impact of the service on the independent external auditor's independence.

The Audit Committee may delegate to one or more designated members of the Audit Committee the authority to grant pre-approvals of permissible non-audit services. The decisions of any Audit Committee member to whom authority is delegated under this paragraph to pre-approve permissible non-audit services shall be presented to the full Audit Committee at each of its scheduled meetings.

8.	legal services and expert services unrelated to the audit; and

Such matters include the independent external auditor's responsibility under generally accepted auditing standards, matters pertaining to the external auditor's independence, selection of or changes in significant accounting principles, management's judgments and significant accounting estimates, significant audit adjustments posted or uncorrected, the external auditors responsibility and consideration of other information that accompanies the audited consolidated financial statements, any disagreements with management, any difficulties encountered during the audit, any consequential illegal acts or irregularities, any major issues discussed with management prior to retention of the external auditors as auditors of the Corporation for the current fiscal year, or instances of management consultation with other accou ntants regarding significant accounting or auditing matters, and any management advisory services and fees provided by the independent external auditor.
