(the "Company"), is a registered bank holding company incorporated under the laws of the State of Michigan, headquartered in Coldwater, Michigan. The Company was formed in 1982 for the purpose of acquiring all of the outstanding shares of Southern Michigan National Bank, which it did in November 1982. In December 1992, Southern Michigan National Bank converted its charter to that of a Michigan state banking corporation and changed its name to, Southern Michigan Bank & Trust (the "Bank"), with its main office located at 51 West Pearl Street, Coldwater, Michigan 49036. The Bank operates twelve (12) branch offices in the primarily rural areas of Branch, Hillsdale, and Calhoun counties in southwestern Michigan. In addition to the operations of the Bank described below, the Company owns and leases certain real estate to the Bank and third parties (see Item 2. Properties below); and SMB&T Financial Services, Inc., a subsidiary of the Bank, has been established to provide insurance and investment services, which services are currently limited to the sale of certain insurance products to the Bank. None of such activities are significant to the operations of the Company. In August 2000, SMB Mortgage Company was established as a subsidiary of the Bank and all residential real estate loans of the Bank were transferred to this subsidiary. Banking Services The Bank offers a full range of banking services to individuals, businesses, governmental entities, and other institutions. These services include checking, savings, and NOW accounts, time deposits, safe deposit facilities, and money transfers. The Bank's lending operations provide secured and unsecured commercial and personal loans, real estate loans, consumer installment loans, lines of credit, and accounts receivable financing. The Bank's Trust Department offers a wide variety of fiduciary services to individuals, businesses, not-for-profit organizations, and governmental entities, including services as trustee for personal, corporate, pension, profit sharing, and other employee benefit trusts. The Bank also provides security custodial services as an agent, acts as the personal representative for estates, and as a fiscal, paying and escrow agent for corporate customers and governmental entities. Residential mortgage loans are originated by SMB Mortgage Company. Some residential mortgage loans are retained by SMB Mortgage Company while others are sold to investors in the secondary market. When SMB Mortgage Company sells originated mortgage loans to investors, it makes a determination to either retain or sell the rights to service those loans. The Bank also offers securities brokerage services through an unaffiliated broker. The Bank maintains correspondent banking relationships with several larger banks, which correspondent relationships concern check clearing operations, transfer of funds, loan participations, the purchase and sale of federal funds, and other similar services. Competition The banking business in the Bank's market area is highly competitive. The Bank competes with other banks, savings and loan associations, credit unions, and finance companies. Banks and other financial institutions from surrounding areas maintain branches within the Bank's service area and offer additional competition. The Bank is also faced with increasing competition from non-depository financial intermediaries, such as large retailers, investment banks, and securities brokerage firms. 2 3 Supervision and Regulation General Bank holding companies and banks are highly regulated by both state and federal agencies. As a bank holding company, the Company is subject to supervision and regulation by the Federal Reserve Board ("FRB") pursuant to the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the "BHCA"). The BHCA restricts the product range of a bank holding company by circumscribing the types of businesses it may own or acquire. The BHCA limits a bank holding company to owning and managing banks or companies engaged in activities determined by the FRB to be closely related to banking as to be a proper incident thereto. The BHCA requires a bank holding company to obtain the prior approval of the FRB before acquiring a nonbanking company, or substantially all of the assets of a bank or a bank holding company, or direct or indirect ownership or control of more than five percent of the voting shares of a bank or a bank holding company. Under FRB regulations, the Company is required to serve as a source of financial and managerial strength to the Bank and must conduct its operations in a safe and sound manner. The Bank is subject to regulation, supervision, and regular bank examinations by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC") and the Michigan Office of Financial and Insurance Services (the "OFIS"). The OFIS is the Bank's chartering authority and primary regulator. Under OFIS and FDIC regulations, the Bank is required to maintain reserves against its deposits and to maintain certain levels of capital and surplus. In addition, the Bank is subject to restrictions on the nature and amount of loans which may be made, the types and amounts of investments it may make, and certain limitations on the payment of dividends to its sole shareholder, the Company. Dividend Restrictions The Company's principal source of income consists of dividends paid by the Bank on its common stock (all of which is owned by the Company). Michigan law restricts the Bank's ability to pay dividends to its shareholder. Under the Michigan Banking Code of 1999, as amended, no dividend may be declared by the Bank in an amount greater than net income then on hand after deducting losses and bad debts. After payment of a dividend, the Bank must have a surplus amounting to not less than 20% of its capital. In addition, if the surplus of the Bank is less than the amount of its capital, before a dividend may be declared, the Bank must transfer to surplus not less than 10% of the net income of the Bank for the preceding 6 months in the case of quarterly or semiannual dividends or not less than 10% of its net profits for the preceding two consecutive 6 month periods in the case of annual dividends. Dividends cannot be paid from the Bank's capital or surplus. The payment of dividends by the Company and the Bank is also affected by various regulatory requirements and policies, such as the requirement to maintain adequate capital above regulatory guidelines. The "prompt corrective action" provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA") impose further restrictions on the payment of dividends by insured banks which fail to meet specified capital levels and, in some cases, their parent bank holding companies. FDICIA generally prohibits a depository institution from making any capital distribution (including payment of a dividend) or paying any management fee to its holding company if the depository institution would thereafter be undercapitalized (see "Capital Requirements"). These regulations and restrictions may limit the Company's ability to obtain funds from the Bank for the Company's cash needs, including funds for acquisitions, payments of dividends and interest, and the payment of operating expenses. Based on the Bank's balance sheet as of December 31, 2000, the Bank could pay a dividend to the Company in the amount of $5,028,000 without prior regulatory approval. 3 4 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, payment of dividends by a bank may be prevented by the applicable federal regulatory authority if such payment is determined, by reason of the financial condition of such bank, to be an unsafe and unsound banking practice. The Federal Reserve Board has issued a policy statement providing that bank holding companies and insured banks should generally only pay dividends out of current operating earnings. Federal Regulation The following is a summary of certain statutes and regulations affecting the Company and the Bank. This summary is qualified in its entirety by such statutes and regulations, which are subject to change based on pending and future legislation and action by regulatory agencies. Proposals to change the laws and regulations governing the operation of banks and companies which control banks and other financial institutions are frequently raised in Congress. The likelihood of any major legislation and the impact such legislation might have on the Company or the Bank are, however, impossible to predict. Gramm-Leach-Bliley Enacted late in 1999, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act ("Gramm-Leach-Bliley"), broadens the scope of financial services that banks may offer to consumers, essentially removing the barriers erected during the Depression that separated banks and securities firms, closes the loophole which permitted commercial enterprises to own and operate a thrift institution, and provides some new consumer protections with respect to privacy issues and ATM usage fees. Gramm-Leach-Bliley permits affiliations between banks, securities firms and insurance companies (which affiliations were previously prohibited under the Glass-Steagall Act). Under Gramm-Leach-Bliley, a bank holding company may qualify as a financial holding company and thereby offer expanded range of financial oriented products and services which products and services may not be offered by bank holding companies. To qualify as a financial holding company, a bank holding company's subsidiary depository institutions must be well-managed, well-capitalized and have received a "satisfactory" rating on its latest examination under the Community Reinvestment Act. Gramm-Leach-Bliley provides for some regulatory oversight by the Securities and Exchange Commission for bank holding companies engaged in certain activities, and reaffirms that insurance activities are to be regulated on the state level. States, however, may not prevent depository institutions and their affiliates from engaging in insurance activities. Commercial enterprises are no longer able to establish or acquire a thrift institution and thereby become a unitary thrift holding company. Thrift institutions may only be established or acquired by financial organizations. Gramm-Leach-Bliley provides new consumer protections with respect to the transfer and use of a consumer's nonpublic personal information and generally enables financial institution customers to "opt-out" of the dissemination of their personal financial information to unaffiliated third parties. ATM operators who charge a fee to non-customers for use of its ATM must disclose the fee on a sign placed on the ATM and before the transaction is made as a part of the on-screen display or by a paper notice issued by the machine. Riegle-Neal Prior to September 29, 1995, the BHCA prohibited a bank holding company from acquiring shares of any bank located outside the state in which the operations of the bank holding company's banking subsidiaries were primarily conducted unless the acquisition was specifically authorized by statute of the state of the bank whose shares were to be acquired. Under the Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 (the "Riegle-Neal Act"), the restriction on interstate bank acquisitions was repealed effective September 29, 1995. The FRB is now generally authorized to approve bank acquisitions by out-of-state bank holding companies that are adequately capitalized and managed irrespective of the permissibility of such acquisition under state law, but subject to any state requirement that the bank has been organized and operating for a minimum period of time, not to exceed five (5) years. 4 5 Each State is permitted to prohibit interstate branch acquisitions (i.e., acquisition of a branch without acquisition of the entire target bank or the establishment of de novo branches) and to examine acquired and de novo branches of out-of-state banks with respect to compliance with certain host State laws. FDICIA In December 1991, FDICIA was enacted, substantially revising the bank regulatory and funding provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and making revisions to several other federal banking statutes. Among other things, FDICIA requires the federal banking agencies to take "prompt corrective action" in respect of depository institutions that do not meet minimum capital requirements. FDICIA establishes five capital tiers: "well-capitalized," "adequately capitalized," "undercapitalized," "significantly under capitalized" and "critically undercapitalized." A depository institution's capital tier will depend upon where its capital levels are in relation to various relevant capital measures, which will include a risk-based capital measure and a leverage ratio capital measure, and certain other factors. As of December 31, 2000, the Bank's capital ratios exceed the requirements to be considered a well-capitalized institution under FDIC regulation. FDICIA also contains a variety of other provisions that may affect the operations of depository institutions including reporting requirements, regulatory standards for real estate lending, "truth in savings" provisions, the requirement that a depository institution give 90 days prior notice to customers and regulatory authorities before closing any branch, and a prohibition on the acceptance or renewal of brokered deposits by depository institutions that are not well capitalized or are adequately capitalized and have not received a waiver from the FDIC. FIRREA Under the Financial Institutions Reform and Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989 ("FIRREA"), a depository institution insured by the FDIC is liable for any loss incurred by, or reasonably expected to be incurred by, the FDIC in connection with (i) the default of a commonly controlled FDIC-insured depository institution, or (ii) any assistance provided by the FDIC to any commonly controlled FDIC-insured depository institution "in danger of default." "Default" is defined generally as the appointment of a conservator or receiver and "in danger of default" is defined as the existence of certain conditions indicating that a default is likely to occur in the absence of regulatory assistance. Transactions with Affiliates and Insiders The Bank and the Company are affiliates of each other and, as such, are subject to certain federal restrictions with respect to loans and extensions of credit to the Company and other Company affiliates, investments in the Company's and its affiliates' securities, acceptance of such securities as collateral for loans to any borrowers, and leases, services and other agreements between the Bank and the Company. Additionally, regulations allow a bank to extend credit to the bank's and its affiliates' executive officers, directors, principal shareholders, and their related interests, only if the loan is made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with non-insiders, and if credit underwriting standards are followed that are no less stringent than those applicable to comparable transactions with non-insiders. Moreover, loans to insiders must not involve more than the normal risk of repayment or present other unfavorable features and must in certain circumstances be approved in advance by a majority of the entire board of directors of the Bank (and the interested party must abstain from participating directly or indirectly in the vote). The aggregate amount that can be lent to all insiders is limited to the Bank's unimpaired capital and surplus. 5 6 Deposit Insurance Deposits held by the Bank are insured, to the extent permitted by law, by the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF") administered by the FDIC. As required under FDICIA, the FDIC has established a system of risk-based deposit insurance premiums. Under this system each insured institution's assessment is based on the probability that the BIF will incur a loss related to that institution, the likely amount of the loss, and the revenue needs of the BIF. Each financial institution is assigned to one of three capital groups -- well capitalized, adequately capitalized or undercapitalized -- and further assigned to one of three subgroups within a capital group, on the basis of supervisory evaluations by the institution's primary federal and, if applicable, state supervisors and other information relevant to the institution's financial condition and the risk posed to the applicable insurance fund. The assessment rate applicable to the bank in the future will depend in part upon the risk assessment classification assigned to the Bank by the FDIC and in part on the BIF assessment schedule adopted by the FDIC. FDIC regulations currently provide that premiums related to deposits assessed by the BIF are to be assessed at a rate of between 0 cents and 27 cents per $100 of deposits. Under the Deposit Insurance Funds Act of 1996, effective January 1, 1997, the Bank is required to pay, in addition to the BIF deposit insurance assessment, if any, the Financing Corporation ("FICO") assessment to service the interest on FICO bond obligations. FICO assessment rates may be adjusted quarterly to reflect a change in assessment base for the BIF. The current FICO annual assessment rate is 1.9 cents per $100 of deposits. Capital Requirements The FRB has imposed risk-based capital guidelines applicable to the Company. These guidelines require that bank holding companies maintain capital commensurate with both on and off balance sheet credit and other risks of their operations. Under the guidelines, a bank holding company must have a minimum ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets ("Total Capital") of 8.0 percent. At least half of Total Capital must be composed of common shareholder's equity, qualifying perpetual preferred stock and minority interest in equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries, less goodwill and certain other intangible assets ("Tier I Capital"). At December 31, 2000, the Company's Total Capital to risk-weighted assets was 11.6 percent, which is above the regulatory minimum requirements. In addition to risk-based capital requirements, the FRB has also imposed leverage capital ratio requirements. The leverage ratio requirements establish a minimum required ratio of Tier I Capital to total assets less goodwill of 3 percent for the bank holding companies having the highest regulatory rating. All other bank holding companies are required to maintain a minimum Tier I capital yielding a leverage ratio of 4 percent. The Company's Tier I Capital leverage ratio at December 31, 2000 was 8.1 percent. The Bank is also subject to risk-weighted capital standards and leverage measures which are similar, but in some cases not identical, to the requirements applicable to bank holding companies. At December 31, 2000, the Bank met all applicable capital requirements. Community Reinvestment Act Under the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977, as amended (the "CRA"), a financial institution is required to help meet the credit needs of its entire community, including low-income and moderate-income areas. The Bank's CRA rating is determined by evaluation of the Bank's lending, service and investment performance. The Federal banking agencies may take CRA compliance into account in an agency's review of applications for mergers, acquisitions, and to establish branches or facilities. 6 7 Monetary Policy and Economic Conditions The business of commercial banks, such as the Bank, is affected by monetary and fiscal policies of various regulatory agencies, including the FRB. Among the regulatory techniques available to the FRB are open market operations in United States Government securities, changing the discount rate for member bank borrowings, and imposing and changing the reserve requirement applicable to member bank deposits and to certain borrowings by member banks and their affiliates (including parent companies). These policies influence to a significant extent the overall growth and distribution of bank loans, investments and deposits and the interest rates charged on loans, as well as the interest rates paid on savings and time deposits. The monetary policies of the FRB have had a significant effect on the operating results of commercial banks in the past and are expected to continue to do so in the future. In view of constantly changing conditions in the national economy and the money market, as well as the effect of acts by the monetary and fiscal authorities, including the FRB, no definitive predictions can be made by the Company or the Bank as to future changes in interest rates, credit availability, deposit levels, or the effect of any such changes on the Company's or the Bank's operations and financial condition. Employees As of December 31, 2000, 143 persons were employed by the Bank; 124 were full time employees and 19 were part time employees.

DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS, LIABILITIES AND SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY; INTEREST RATES AND INTEREST DIFFERENTIAL (CONTINUED) (Dollars in Thousands) The following 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. Interest on non-taxable securities has been adjusted to a fully tax equivalent basis using a statutory tax rate of 34% in 2000, 1999 and 1998.

The accrual of interest income generally is discontinued when a loan becomes over 90 days past due as to principal or interest. When interest accruals are discontinued, interest credited to income in the current year and accrued interest from the prior year is reversed. Management may elect to continue the accrual of interest when: (1) the estimated net realizable value of collateral is sufficient to cover the principal balance and accrued interest and; (2) the loan is in the process of collection. Interest of $124,000 and $9,000 was realized on nonaccrual loans during 2000 and 1999, respectively. Under original terms for these loans, interest income which would have been recorded approximates $207,000 and $50,000 in 2000 and 1999, respectively. There are no loan commitments outstanding to extend credits to these customers. Potential Problem Loans At December 31, 2000, the Company had approximately $2,554,000 in commercial, financial, agricultural loans for which payments are presently current, but the borrowers are experiencing certain financial and/or operational difficulties. These loans are subject to frequent management review and their classification is reviewed on a monthly basis. At December 31, 2000, the Company had loans of $815,000 which were considered impaired, but were performing. All loans classified for regulatory purposes as loss, doubtful, substandard, or special mention have been included in the above disclosures. 12 13 IV. SUMMARY OF LOAN LOSS EXPERIENCE (Dollars in Thousands) The following table sets forth changes in the allowance for loan losses:

Subsequent to December 31, 2000, approximately $760,000 was charged against the allowance for loan loss related to two commercial borrowers. As of December 31, 2000, approximately $586,000 had been reserved for these borrowers. 13 14 IV. SUMMARY OF LOAN LOSS EXPERIENCE (CONTINUED) Allocation of the Allowance for Loan Losses The Securities and Exchange Commission's guide to the presentation of statistical information provides for a break down of the allowance for loan losses into major loan categories. The Company allocates the allowance among the various categories through an analysis of the loan portfolio composition, prior loan loss experience, evaluation of those loans identified as being probable problems in collection, results of examination by regulatory agencies and current economic conditions. The entire allowance is available to absorb any losses without regard to the category or categories in which the charged off loans are classified. Even though such an allocation has inherent limitations, the Company has compiled the results of its various reviews and has made estimates of the risk which might be allocated to the respective loan categories. The following table sets forth the allocation of the allowance for loan losses at December 31:
---------2000--------- -------1999-------- --------1998-------- --------1997-------- --------1996--------- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- Percent of Percent of Percent of Percent of Percent of Loans in Loans in Loans in Loans in Loans in Each Each Each Each Each Category Category Category Category Category Of Total Of Total Of Total Of Total Of Total Allowance Loans Allowance Loans Allowance Loans Allowance Loans Allowance Loans --------- -------- --------- -------- --------- -------- --------- -------- --------- -------- Commercial, financial and agricultural $1,236 52.6% $ 924 50.0% $ 777 50.5% $ 628 47.1% $ 351 47.2% Real estate mortgage 35 32.8 127 32.8 103 31.6 98 31.0 95 31.2 Installment 325 14.6 601 17.2 521 17.9 321 21.9 177 21.6 Unallocated 500 -- 480 -- 625 -- 816 -- 1,191 -- ------ ----- ------ ----- ------ ----- ------- ----- ------ ----- $2,096 100.0% $2,132 100.0% $2,026 100.0% $ 1,863 100.0% $1,814 100.0% ====== ===== ====== ===== ====== ===== ======= ===== ====== =====
The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level which, in management's opinion, is adequate to absorb 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 considered by management 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, and historical loan loss experience. The 1997 provision was increased to provide for loan growth and the increase in charge-offs and delinquencies. Several customers, including a large commercial borrower, declared bankruptcy during 1997 resulting in increased charge-offs. The 2000, 1999 and 1998 provisions increased to provide for higher charge-offs and delinquencies, primarily as a result of increased customer bankruptcies. Net commercial loan charge-offs totaled $334,000 in 1999; $267,000 of this was attributable to three commercial borrowers that discontinued business operations during 1999. 14 15 V.

This facility, which opened in 1955 and expanded in 1976, consists of a one story structure comprising 27,945 square feet. Parking is available for approximately 125 cars and 9 teller windows are available to serve the Bank's customers. The Bank owns eleven branch offices, two of which are in Coldwater, two in Union City, Michigan, one in Kinderhook, Michigan, one in Tekonsha, Michigan, one in Hillsdale, Michigan, one in Camden, Michigan, one in Athens, Michigan, one in North Adams, Michigan and one in Pennfield Township (Battle Creek), Michigan. In addition, the Company owns a 15,000 square foot building in Battle Creek, Michigan and a 14,000 square foot building in Coldwater, Michigan. 6,000 square feet of the Battle Creek building is leased to the Bank for use by one of its Battle Creek branches. 3,500 square feet is leased to a local college, 2,300 square feet is leased as office space to local businesses and the remaining space is presently unoccupied. 7,446 square feet of the Coldwater building is leased to the Bank for use as a Consumer Loan center, 3,420 square feet is leased to a local title office, 762 square feet is leased to a local insurance company and 394 square feet is leased to community nonprofit organizations. The Bank's branch offices range in size from 465 square feet to 6,000 square feet, with nine of the branch offices having drive-in facilities and seven of the branches having automated teller machines. All of the Company's and the Bank's facilities are maintained in good condition and are adequately insured. Management of Company believes the present facilities are adequate to meet both current and future needs. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS The Bank is frequently engaged in litigation, both as plaintiff and defendant, which is incident to its business. In certain proceedings, claims or counterclaims may be asserted against the Bank. Based on the facts known to it to date, management of the Company does not currently anticipate that the ultimate liability, if any, arising out of any such litigation will have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following discussion provides information about the Company's financial condition which supplements the Consolidated Financial Statements. The analysis should be read in conjunction with such financial statements. Financial Condition The Company functions as a financial intermediary and, as such, its financial condition should be examined in terms of trends in its sources and uses of funds. The Company uses its funds primarily to support its lending activities. Loans increased by 10.9% in 2000 and 18.4% in 1999. The loan growth in 2000 occurred in the commercial and real estate mortgage loan categories and is the result of continued good economic conditions within the Company's market area. Commercial loans increased 16.5% as the Bank focused attention on this area of lending and actively called on current and potential customers. At the same time, local businesses were also expanding to meet the growth demands of the region. Installment loans decreased 5.4% as the Bank chose to focus on its commercial and residential real estate lending and place less emphasis on indirect lending. Real estate mortgage loans increased 10.9% as the Bank funded larger real estate loans, construction loans and other loans that did not conform to secondary market guidelines. Gains recognized on the sale of real estate mortgage loans to the secondary market decreased in 2000 from $758,000 in 1999 to $533,000. The secondary market loan activity declined in 2000 as mortgage rates increased. Fixed rate loans which represent all of the loans sold on the secondary market were not as attractive. During the fourth quarter of 2000 secondary market loan activity began to pick up as interest rates began to decrease. Loans held for sale at December 31, 2000 were $1,024,000. The real estate portfolio largely consists of residential mortgages within the local area with a low risk of loss. 16 17 The loan growth in 1999 occurred in all loan categories. Commercial loans increased by 17.2% as local businesses expanded. Installment loans increased 13.7% as the Bank competitively priced its boat and recreational vehicle loans and offered dealer incentives to obtain such loans. Real estate mortgage loans increased 23.0% as the Bank engaged in a home equity loan promotion and offered an attractive short-term fixed rate mortgage loan product. 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 $38,056,000 and $37,949,000 at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Most of these commitments are priced at a variable interest rate thus minimizing the Bank's risk in a changing interest rate environment. There were no significant concentrations in any loan category as to borrower, industry or location. Substantially all loans are granted to customers located in the Bank's service area, which is primarily southern Michigan. Another significant component of cash flow is the securities portfolio. Total securities decreased by 5.1% in 2000 and 20.1% in 1999. The funds received from maturing securities were used to partially fund the 2000 and 1999 loan growth. The securities available for sale portfolio had net unrealized gains of $280,000 in 2000 and losses of $589,000 in 1999. During 1999, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities and reclassified the entire portfolio of held to maturity securities to available for sale. The reclassification was done so that the securities would be available to sell should the Company's liquidity needs require it. There is no concentration of securities in the portfolio which would constitute an unusual risk except at year-end 2000 and 1999, the amortized cost of securities issued by the State of Michigan and all its political subdivisions totaled $11,079,000 and $13,114,000 with an estimated market value of $11,511,000 and $13,132,000, respectively. Deposits traditionally represent the Company's principal source of funds. Total deposits increased 5.2% in 2000 and remained stable in 1999. In 2000 the Bank chose to increase the rates offered on certificates of deposit (CDs) in order to attract deposits. The largest increases in CDs were the over $100,000 category and the 24 - 36 month term CDs. Growth also occurred in other categories of deposits as lenders were encouraged to bring deposits in with their loan relationships. Business checking and money market accounts increased by $10,952,000 in 2000. The Bank was not able to increase its deposit base in 1999 because of increased competition within the Bank's market area. Local competitors offered premium rates for deposits and the Bank chose not to match such rates. Also contributing to the lack of deposit growth in 1999 was an increase in customer cash withdrawals late in the year in preparation for the Year 2000 rollover. Attracting and keeping traditional deposit relationships will continue to be a challenge to the Bank, particularly with the increased competition from nondeposit products. As an alternate funding source, the Bank obtains putable advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB). The advances are secured by a blanket collateral agreement with the FHLB giving the FHLB an unperfected security interest in the Bank's one-to-four family mortgage loans, government and agency securities and highly rated mortgage-backed securities. FHLB advances may be a less expensive way to obtain longer term funds than paying a premium for long term deposits. Accordingly, the Company borrowed $10 million in both 1999 and 2000. Premises and equipment increased by 13.6% in 2000 and decreased by 4.7% in 1999. In 2000, the Bank spent approximately $1,459,000 to renovate the Coldwater main office and the Beckley Road office. The 1999 decrease was due to a lack of significant additions in consideration of the renovations planned for 2000 and increased depreciation because of the high level of additions in 1998. 17 18 Capital Resources The Company maintains a strong capital base to take advantage of business opportunities while ensuring that it has resources to absorb the risk inherent in the business. The Federal Reserve Board (FRB) has imposed risk-based capital guidelines applicable to the Company. These guidelines require that bank holding companies maintain capital commensurate with both on and off balance sheet credit risks of their operations. Under the guidelines, a bank holding company must have a minimum ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets of 8 percent. In addition, 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. 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 insure 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 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 FASB Statement 115 should not be included in Tier 1 capital. As such, the net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on available for sale securities is not included in the ratios listed in Note O to the financial statements. The ratios include the common stock subject to repurchase obligation in the Company's employee stock ownership plan (ESOP). As seen in Note O, the Company exceeds the well capitalized requirements at December 31, 2000. In addition to these regulatory requirements, a certain level of capital growth must be achieved to maintain appropriate levels of equity to total assets. During 2000 and 1999, total average assets grew 8.2% and 7.1%. At the same time, average equity (including common stock held by the ESOP) decreased 0.5% in 2000 and 2.3% in 1999. Equity grew at lower levels than assets in both 2000 and 1999 because of the repurchase and retirement of common stock shares (28,757 shares in 2000 and 82,442 in 1999). Future growth opportunities will focus on maintaining the existing customer base and growing within selected other markets identified as providing significant growth potential. Liquidity and Interest Rate Sensitivity The primary functions of asset/liability management are to assure adequate liquidity and maintain an appropriate balance between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. 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. 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. Maturing loans and investment securities are the principal sources of asset liquidity. Securities maturing or callable within 1 year were $13,459,000 at December 31, 2000 representing 26.1% of the market value of the investment securities portfolio, a decrease from the 32.7% level of 1999. Loans maturing within 1 year were $46,361,000 at December 31, 2000 representing 21.6% of the gross loan portfolio, a slight decrease from the 22.1% level of 1999. Financial institutions are subject to prepayment risk in falling rate environments. Prepayments of assets carrying higher rates reduce the Company's interest income and overall asset yields. Certain portions of an institution's liabilities may be short-term or due on demand, while most of it assets may be invested in long-term loans or investments. Accordingly, the Company seeks to have in place sources of cash to meet short-term demands. These funds can be obtained by increasing deposits, borrowing, or selling assets. Also, Federal Home Loan Bank advances and short-term borrowings provide additional sources of liquidity for the Company. 18 19 During the year ended December 31, 2000, there was a net increase in cash and cash equivalents of $6,443,000. The major sources of cash in 2000 were increases in deposits, maturing securities, loan sales and additional borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank. The major uses of cash in 2000 were loan growth and loans originated for sale. During the year ended December 31, 1999, there was a net decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $4,182,000. The major sources of cash in 1999 were loan sales and maturing securities. The major uses of cash in 1999 were loan growth and loans originated for sale. During the year ended December 31, 1998, there was a net decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $620,000. The major sources of cash in 1998 were loan sales and the increase in deposits. The major uses of cash in 1998 were the purchase of investment securities and loans originated for sale. Federal law places restrictions on extensions of credit from banks to their parent holding company and, with certain exceptions, to other affiliates, on investments in stock or other securities thereof, and on taking of such securities as collateral for loans. State law also places restrictions on the payment of dividends by the Bank to the Company. Note L to the Consolidated Financial Statements discusses these dividend limitations. 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 the Company's earnings and capital base. Accordingly, effective risk management that maintains interest rate risk at prudent levels is essential to the Company's safety and soundness. The Company measures the impact of changes in interest rates on net interest income through a comprehensive analysis of the Bank's interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities. Interest rate sensitivity varies with different types of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Overnight federal funds and mutual funds on which rates change daily and loans which are tied to the prime rate or a comparable index differ considerably from long-term investment securities and fixed-rate loans. Similarly, certificates of deposit and money market investment accounts are much more interest sensitive than passbook savings accounts. The shorter term interest rate sensitivities are key to measuring the interest sensitivity gap, or excess interest-earning assets over interest-bearing liabilities. In addition to reviewing the interest sensitivity gap, the Company also analyzes projected changes in market interest rates and the resulting effect on net interest income. The following table shows the interest sensitivity gaps for five different time intervals as of December 31, 2000:
0-30 31-90 91-365 1-5 Over 5 Days Days Days Years Years ---- ----- ------ ----- ------ Interest-earning assets $ 65,125 $ 8,549 $ 51,243 $109,238 $ 32,280 Interest-bearing liabilities $ 54,285 $ 83,843 $ 41,275 $ 46,808 $ 7,130 Interest sensitivity gap $ 10,840 $(75,294) $ 9,968 $ 62,430 $ 25,150
The primary interest sensitive assets in the one year repricing range are commercial loans and adjustable rate mortgage loans. The primary interest sensitive liabilities in the one year repricing range are money market investment accounts, certificates of deposit and interest bearing checking accounts. This analysis indicates that growth in rate sensitive liabilities has outpaced the growth in rate sensitive assets in the one year range. This has occurred primarily as a result of the inclusion of interest bearing checking accounts and savings accounts in a repricing period of one year or less as these accounts have become rate sensitive as interest rates have fluctuated. The long-term interest sensitivity gap indicates that the Company's net interest margin would improve with an increase in interest rates and decline with further declines in interest rates. Trying to minimize the interest sensitivity gap is a continual challenge in a changing rate environment and one of the objectives of the Company's asset/liability strategy. 19 20 Results of Operations Net interest income is an effective measurement of how well management has balanced the Company's interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities. Net interest income increased by 8.0% in 2000, 1.8% in 1999 and 1.7% in 1998. The 2000 increase is due to the increase in the commercial and real estate mortgage loan portfolio and the increases to prime rate throughout the year. These increases were partially offset by the increased interest paid for money market and CD deposits and increased interest paid for Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings. The 1999 increase is due to the reinvestment of funds held in the investment securities portfolio into the higher yielding loan portfolio, partially offset by increased interest expense as a result of increased FHLB advances. The 1998 increase is due to the reinvestment of funds held in overnight federal funds accounts into higher yielding investment securities. The uncertain economic environment and potential fluctuations in interest rates are expected to continue to impact the Company and the industry in 2001. The Company monitors deposit rates on a weekly basis and adjusts deposit rates as the market dictates. Loan rates are subject to change as the national prime rate changes and are also influenced by competitors' rates. An increase in deposit rates occurring at the same time as loan rate decreases would cause the Company's net interest income to decline. The provision for loan losses is based on an analysis of the required additions to the allowance for loan losses. The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level believed adequate by management to absorb probable losses in the loan portfolio. Some factors considered by management in determining the level at which the allowance is maintained include specific credit reviews, past 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 for loan losses was $700,000 in 2000, $852,000 in 1999 and $600,000 in 1998. The 2000 provision was set at a level considered necessary to expected loan losses. The 1999 provision increase occurred to provide for loan growth and increased charge-offs, primarily as a result of increased customer bankruptcies. Net commercial loan charge-offs totaled $417,000 in 2000. This was primarily attributable to three commercial customers. Two of these customers had been provided for in 1999. Net commercial loan charge-offs totaled $334,000 in 1999; $267,000 of this was attributable to three commercial borrowers that discontinued business operations during 1999. It is anticipated that the Company will continue to experience higher than normal losses in 2001. The provision will be adjusted quarterly, if necessary, to reflect actual charge-off experience and any known future losses. Non-interest income, excluding security gains and losses remained constant in 2000, decreased by 5.4% in 1999 and increased by 30.2% in 1998. In 2000 trust fees, service charges on loans and earnings on life insurance assets increased but were offset by a decrease in the gains recognized on the sale of real estate mortgage loans to the secondary market. The Bank increased its deposit base by 5.2% and generated additional service charges as a result of the growth. Trust fees increased due to a new fee schedule put in place January 1, 2000. In order to reduce the risk associated with changing interest rates, the Bank regularly sells fixed rate real estate mortgage loans on the secondary market. The Bank recognizes a profit at the time of the sale and receives a fee in order to service the loans. As fixed rate mortgage rates increased during the first half of 2000, the number of new loans and refinancing activities declined. The 1999 decrease is due primarily to the decline in gains recognized on the sale of real estate mortgage loans to the secondary market. The 1998 increase is due to increased service charge income, increased gains recognized on the sale of secondary market real estate mortgage loans and increased income from the Bank's automatic teller machines (ATMs). The Bank increased its deposit base by 12.7% in 1998 and generated additional service charges as a result of the growth. During this period of relatively low interest rates, the Bank generated large volumes of fixed rate mortgage loans which were sold to the secondary market. During 1998, the Bank began assessing a 20 21 fee to noncustomers who use the Bank's ATMs and thus generated increased fees. Security losses of $3,000 were recognized on sales of securities in 2000. No gains or losses occurred in 1999 or 1998. Non-interest expense increased by 8.8% in 2000, 2.2% in 1999 and 1.8% in 1998. In 2000 the largest increase came in the professional and outside services category. The Company spent $456,000 in legal and accounting fees in an attempt to merge with Sturgis Bank & Trust. The merger was called off in October of 2000 after Sturgis Bank and Trust did not obtain a fairness opinion from their investment advisors. In 2000 salaries and benefit expenditures increased as a cost of living increase of 2.6% was given to all employees at the beginning of the year. In addition, the loan department employees hired during 1999 were employees for the entire year of 2000 adding to the increase. In 1999, salaries and benefit expenditures increased as additional loan department employees were added to assist with the increased loan volume. Occupancy costs were higher in 1999 as a result of the addition of the new Hillsdale branch and increasing maintenance on the Bank's older properties. Equipment costs increased as a result of equipment additions for the new Hillsdale branch and technological upgrades to the Bank's mainframe and personal computers. The primary expense categories that increased in 1998 were occupancy, equipment and marketing. Occupancy and equipment costs increased as a result of the opening or the new Hillsdale branch and continued upgrades to the Bank's technology base. Marketing expenditures increased as the Bank revamped its checking account products. Income tax expense was $1,179,000 in 2000, $1,005,000 in 1999 and $1,185,000 in 1998. Tax-exempt income continues to have a major impact on the Company'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 $290,000 in 2000, $360,000 in 1999 and $350,000 in 1998. Results of operations can be measured by various ratio analyses. Two widely recognized performance indicators are the return on equity and the return on assets. The Company's return on equity was 15.13% in 2000, 16.37% in 1999 and 17.48% in 1998. The return on average assets was 1.16% in 2000, 1.23% in 1999 and 1.42% in 1998. The Company's 2000 return on equity and return on average assets was 17.18% and 1.32%, respectively, if the costs relating to the attempted merger are excluded. 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. Management believes the most significant impact on financial results is the Company's ability to react to changes in interest rates. As discussed previously, management is attempting to maintain an essentially balanced position between interest sensitive assets and liabilities in order to protect against wide interest rate fluctuations. 21 22 Nonperforming Assets Nonperforming assets include nonaccrual loans, accruing loans past due 90 days or more, and other real estate which includes foreclosures, deeds in lieu of foreclosure and real estate in redemption. 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 credited to income in the current year is reversed, and unpaid interest accrued in prior years is charged to the allowance for loan losses. 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. The following table sets forth the aggregate amount of nonperforming loans in each of the following categories:
December 31 2000 1999 1998 ---- ---- ---- (Dollars in thousands) Nonaccrual loans: Commercial, financial and agricultural $ 1,759 $ 306 $ 343 Real estate mortgage - 23 - Installment - - - --------- --------- ---------- 1,759 329 343 Loans contractually past due 90 days or more: Commercial, financial and agricultural 123 432 807 Real estate mortgage 277 134 161 Installment 55 34 120 --------- --------- ---------- 455 600 1,088 --------- --------- ---------- Total nonperforming loans 2,214 929 1,431 Other real estate owned 1,415 161 207 --------- --------- ---------- Total nonperforming assets $ 3,629 $ 1,090 $ 1,638 ========= ========= ========== Nonperforming loans to year-end loans 1.03% .48% .88% ======== ======== ========= Nonperforming assets to year-end loans and other real estate owned 1.69% .56% 1.00% ======== ======== =========
Nonperforming loans increased in 2000 with the largest increase coming in nonaccrual loans. In 2000, nonaccrual loans were made up of several commercial and agricultural loans where the borrower experienced severe financial difficulties and therefore became delinquent. Nonperforming loans are subject to continuous monitoring by management and are specifically reserved for in the allowance for loan losses where appropriate. At December 31, 2000 and 1999, the Company had loans of $815,000 and $1,338,000, which were considered impaired, but performing. At December 31, 2000, the Company had approximately $2,554,000 in commercial, financial and agricultural loans for which payments are presently current but the borrowers are experiencing certain financial and/or operational difficulties. These loans are subject to frequent management review and their classification is reviewed on a monthly basis. In management's evaluation of the loan portfolio risks, any significant future increases in nonperforming loans 22 23 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. Regulatory Matters Representatives of the FDIC completed an examination at the Company's subsidiary bank using financial information as of December 31, 1999. The purpose of the examination was to determine the safety and soundness of the bank. Examination procedures require individual judgments about a borrower's ability to repay loans, sufficiency of collateral values and the effects of changing economic circumstances. These procedures are similar to those employed by the Company in determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses and in classifying loans. Judgments made by regulatory examiners may differ from those made by management. The Company's level and classification of identified potential problem loans was not revised significantly as a result of this regulatory examination process. Management and the Board of Directors evaluate existing practices and procedures on an ongoing basis. In addition, regulators often make recommendations during the course of their examination that relate to the operations of the Company and the Bank. As a matter of practice, management and the Board of Directors consider such recommendations promptly. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk The Company's primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk and liquidity risk. See Liquidity and Interest Rate Sensitivity, above. Business is transacted in U.S. dollars with no foreign exchange rate risk or any exposure to changes in commodity prices. The following tables provide information about the Company's financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates as of December 31, 2000 and 1999. The Company had no derivative financial instruments, or trading portfolio, at either date. The expected maturity date values for loans receivable, mortgage-backed securities and investment securities were calculated without adjusting the instrument's contractual maturity date for expectations of prepayments. Expected maturity date values for interest-bearing core deposits were not based upon estimates of the period over which the deposits would be outstanding, but rather the opportunity for repricing. Similarly, with respect to its variable rate instruments, the Company believes that repricing dates, as opposed to expected maturity dates may be more relevant in analyzing the value of such instruments and are reported as such in the following table. Company borrowings are also reported based on conversion or repricing dates. 23 24

Grohalski President and Chief Executive Officer of the 2000 $161,665 $7,844 Company and the Bank 1999 $140,570 $7,344 1998 $133,813 $7,400
(1) The amounts shown include amounts deferred under the 401(k) provisions of the ESOP and the Bank's Executives' Deferred Compensation Plan. (2) The amounts shown include the following for 2000: (i) employer contributions to accounts in the ESOP and the Deferred Compensation Plan of $4,004 and $3,000 respectively for Mr. Grohalski; and (ii) $840 constituting the value of insurance premiums paid by the Bank for term life insurance for Mr. Grohalski's benefit. Retirement Benefits 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 five year average compensation (see column captioned "Remuneration"). For participants with less than 30 years credited service, reduced benefits are available in an 26 27 amount equal to the normal retirement benefit reduced by 1/30 for each year of service less than 30. Participants are 100% vested after five years of credited service, and are subject to forfeiture upon termination of employment with credited service less than five years. 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: PENSION PLAN TABLE
YEARS OF SERVICE -------------------------------------------------- REMUNERATION 25 30 35 ------------------ ------------- -------------- ------------ $120,000 $35,000 $42,000 $42,000 $130,000 $37,900 $45,500 $45,500 $140,000 $40,800 $49,000 $49,000 $150,000 $43,750 $52,500 $52,500 $160,000 $46,700 $56,000 $56,000
James T. Grohalski has 33 years of credited service and $141,300 current covered remuneration. The Bank also has in effect a supplemental retirement arrangement in the form of an Executive Employee Salary Continuation Agreement with Mr. Grohalski under which a specified annual benefit, in addition to that provided under the Retirement Plan, is payable to the participant upon retirement at age 65. The participant is entitled to a reduced benefit if his retirement occurs between the ages of 62 and 65. No benefit is payable if the participant voluntarily terminates his employment or is discharged for cause prior to the age of 62. However, the specified benefit is payable beginning at age 65, if the participant's employment is terminated after a "change in control" of the Company, and in connection with such change, his title, responsibility or compensation is significantly lessened or the status of his employment is changed without his consent. The specified annual benefit, when added to the benefit under the Retirement Plan, is intended to be approximately equal to the benefit the participant would have received under the Retirement Plan but for a plan amendment which changed the Retirement Plan's benefit formula to comply with changes in pension laws and which substantially reduced the participants' benefits. For James T. Grohalski, the specified benefit payable upon retirement at age 65 under the supplemental retirement arrangement is $22,060 per year for 15 years. The Board of Directors may increase the benefit by not more than 2% per year prior to retirement. The Bank also has an Executives' Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Deferred Compensation Plan") for directors and certain officers. Under the Deferred Compensation Plan, participants elect to defer a portion of their compensation (in the case of directors, their fees) on a pretax basis. Upon retirement at or after age 65, the participant or his or her designated beneficiary is entitled to a benefit equal to the amount of the participant's deferrals to the Deferred Compensation Plan plus earnings on such deferrals at a specified rate of interest compounded annually, payable in equal monthly amounts for not less than 180 months. Upon the participant's termination of employment or retirement before age 65, the benefit payable to the participant at age 65 is determined by multiplying the amount deferred under the Deferred Compensation Plan by the ratio of the number of months for which the participant made deferrals to the number of months from the time the participant began making deferrals to the participant's reaching age 65. The amounts shown in the summary compensation table above include amounts deferred as contributions under the Deferred Compensation Plan. The Company and the Bank have executed an Employment Agreement with Mr. Grohalski whereby Mr. Grohalski will serve as the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and the Bank. The term of the Employment Agreement is for one year and it may be renewed by mutual agreement of the Company, the Bank and Mr. Grohalski. Pursuant to the Employment Agreement, commencing January 23, 2001, Mr. 27 28 Grohalski's annual salary will be $163,000 plus such additional or special compensation based upon his performance as the Company's Board of Directors, in its discretion, may from time to time determine. Under the Employment Agreement, in the event that Mr. Grohalski is terminated for any reason other than for cause, or in the event of Mr. Grohalski's "voluntary termination for good reason," then, in addition to receiving the compensation and benefits under the Employment Agreement, upon the expiration of the term of the Employment Agreement, Mr. Grohalski will be entitled to monthly installments equal to 1/12th of his annual salary, commencing thirty days after expiration of the term of the Employment Agreement, until the earlier of his death, the age of 65, or the date he receives twelve monthly installments. Under the Employment Agreement, the term "voluntary termination for good reason" means voluntary termination of employment by Mr. Grohalski after any of the following actions without Mr. Grohalski's express written consent: (1) the assignment of duties of a nonexecutive nature or for which Mr. Grohalski is not reasonably equipped by his skills and experience; (2) without reasonable justification, a reduction in the salary, or a material reduction in the amount of paid vacations or in the fringe benefits and perquisites, of Mr. Grohalski; (3) the relocation of Mr. Grohalski's principal business office or principal place of residence to a place that is more than sixty miles from Coldwater, Michigan or the assignment of duties to Mr. Grohalski that would reasonably require such relocation; (4) the assignment of duties to Mr. Grohalski which would reasonably require him to spend more than ninety working days away from Coldwater, Michigan during any consecutive twelve month period; (5) the failure to provide office facilities, secretarial services, and other administrative services to Mr. Grohalski which are substantially equivalent to the facilities and services provided to him on the date the Employment Agreement was executed; or (6) the termination of incentive and benefit plans or arrangements provided to Mr. Grohalski under the Employment Agreement, or a material reduction in the aggregate value of Mr. Grohalski's incentive compensation and benefits below their aggregate value as of the date of the Employment Agreement. The Employment Agreement also provides that in the event of a "termination for cause," Mr. Grohalski will not be entitled to receive compensation or other benefits for any period after such termination. The term "termination for cause" means the termination of employment based on: (1) conviction of any criminal violation involving dishonesty, fraud or breach of trust; (2) the willful engagement in any misconduct in the performance of Mr. Grohalski's duties that materially injures the Company or its subsidiaries; (3) the performance of any act which, if known to the customers, clients or shareholders of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, would materially and adversely impact the business of the Company or any of its subsidiaries; (4) the willful and substantial nonperformance of Mr. Grohalski's duties if such nonperformance continues for more than ten days after written notice of such nonperformance and of the Company's intention to terminate his employment; (5) the willful violation of the noncompetition and nondisclosure obligations contained in the Employment Agreement; (6) the suspension and/or temporary prohibition, or the removal and/or permanent prohibition, from participating in the conduct of the affairs of the Company or any of its affiliates by a notice, order, ruling or other finding of any state or federal agency (including, but not limited to, any Federal Reserve Bank, the FDIC, or Michigan's Office of Financial and Insurance Services); or (7) any determination or action by any federal or state regulatory agency that the Company's Board of Directors determines to reflect adversely on the Company and to be related to Mr. Grohalski's duties under the Employment Agreement. The Employment Agreement also provides for a severance payment equal to two year's salary in accordance with Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code in the event of a termination of employment without cause or a voluntary termination with good reason within three years after a change in control that occurs during the term of the Employment Agreement. In the event that it is in the best interests of the Company and Mr. Grohalski, then Mr. Grohalski shall have the right to elect to have the severance payment paid in installments, with the first installment being equal to one year's salary and the balance being paid in installments in accordance with Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code. For purposes of the Employment Agreement, the term "change in control" means: (1) the acquisition by any entity, person, or group of beneficial ownership of more than 50% of the outstanding capital stock of the 28 29 Company entitled to vote in an election of directors; (2) the commencement by any entity, person, or group (other than the Company or a subsidiary of the Company) of a tender offer or an exchange offer for more than 25% of the outstanding voting stock of the Company entitled to vote in an election of directors; (3) the merger of the Company with another entity that results in the holders of the outstanding voting stock entitled to vote of the election of directors of the Company immediately prior to such merger holding less than 50% of the voting stock entitled to vote for the election of directors of the surviving or resulting corporation; (4) the transfer of substantially all of the assets of the Company other than to an entity of which the Company owns at least 80% of the voting stock entitled to vote for the election of directors; or (5) the election to the Board of Directors of the Company, without the recommendation or approval of the incumbent Board of Directors, of the lesser of three directors or directors constituting a majority of the number of directors then in office. The Employment Agreement also provides that during the term thereof, and for a period of one year following the termination of employment, Mr. Grohalski will not: (1) within a geographic radius of 75 miles from Coldwater, Michigan, engage in, or work for, manage, operate, control or participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of, or be connected with, or have any financial interest in, any individual, partnership, firm, corporation or institution engaged in the same or similar activities to those now or hereafter carried on by the Company or the Bank; (2) interfere with the relationship of the Company or the Bank and any of their employees, agents or representatives; or (3) directly or indirectly divert or attempt to divert from the Company or the Bank any business in which the Company or the Bank has been actively engaged during the term of the Employment Agreement, nor interfere with the relationships of the Company or the Bank with their dealers, distributors, sources of supply or customers. Finally, the Employment Agreement prohibits Mr. Grohalski, during the term of the Employment Agreement and at any time thereafter, from disclosing any confidential information of the Company or the Bank. 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. 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 in the middle of the range. 29 30 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. Grohalski'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. Grohalski as a percent of revenue and net income to comparable companies in the industry, the Compensation Committee believes his overall compensation level is in the middle of the range. RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED BY THE MEMBERS OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE, James J. Morrison, H. Kenneth Cole and James P. Briskey. Director Compensation Currently, each director of the Company whose principal occupation is not with the Company or the Bank receives an annual fee of $6,361 which will be indexed for inflation in 2001. In addition, outside directors are compensated $150 for each committee meeting attended and participate in a bonus program based upon the achievement of growth and profitability goals. $1,000 per outside director was paid as a bonus for 2000. The directors are eligible to receive stock options under the Southern Michigan Bancorp, Inc. 2000 Stock Option Plan. ITEM 12.

See accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements FS-5 39 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. is a bank holding company. The Company's business is concentrated in the banking industry segment. The business of commercial and retail banking accounts for more than 90% of its revenues, operating income and assets. While the Company's chief decision makers monitor the revenue stream of various company products and services, operations are managed and financial performance is evaluated on a company-wide basis. Accordingly, all of the Company's banking operations are considered by management to be aggregated into one operating segment. The 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 real estate, and consumer assets. There are no foreign loans. SMB Mortgage Company was established in August 2000 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank. All residential real estate loans are transacted through this subsidiary. The majority of loans are secured by residential real estate. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Southern Michigan Bancorp, Inc. (the Company) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Southern Michigan Bank & Trust (the Bank), after elimination of significant intercompany balances and transactions. USE OF ESTIMATES: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 income tax provisions, fair values of certain securities and other financial instruments and the actuarial present value of pension benefit obligations, net periodic pension expense and accrued pension costs. 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 and shareholders' equity, 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, resultant 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 when a decline in fair value is not temporary. 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. 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. Payments received on such loans are reported as principal reductions. FS-6 40 SOUTHERN MICHIGAN BANCORP, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) NOTE A - NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES: The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable 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 loans 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, 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 existing 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. PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT: Premises and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed principally using accelerated methods over their estimated useful lives. 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. SERVICING RIGHTS: Servicing rights represent both purchased rights and the allocated value of servicing rights retained on loans sold. 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. GOODWILL AND CORE DEPOSIT INTANGIBLES: Goodwill is the excess of purchase price over identified net assets in business acquisitions. Goodwill is amortized on the straight-line method over 15 years. Identified intangibles represent the value of depositor relationships purchased and are amortized on accelerated methods over 10 years. Goodwill and identified intangibles are assessed for impairment based on estimated undiscounted cash flows, and written down if necessary. Goodwill was $682,000 and $745,000 and core deposit intangibles were $320,000 and $376,000 at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. These balances are included in other assets. OTHER REAL ESTATE: Other real estate was $1,415,000 and $161,000 at December 31, 2000 and 1999 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 at the date of foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis by a charge to the allowance for loan losses. After foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management and real estate is carried at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated cost of disposal. Expenses, gains and losses on disposition, and changes in the valuation allowance are reported in other expense. FS-7 41 SOUTHERN MICHIGAN BANCORP, INC. 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. 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. Earnings and dividends per share are restated for all stock splits and stock dividends through the date of issue of the financial statements. CASH FLOW INFORMATION: 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. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME: Comprehensive income consists of net income and other comprehensive income. Other comprehensive income includes the net change in unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale, net of tax, which is also recognized as a separate component of shareholders' equity. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS: Fair values of financial instruments are estimated using relevant market information and other assumptions. 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. The fair value estimates of existing on-and off- balance sheet financial instruments does not include the value of anticipated future business or values of assets and liabilities not considered financial instruments. 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 53% of the loan portfolio and the loans are expected to be repaid from cash flow from operations of businesses. Residential mortgage loans make up approximately 32% of the loan portfolio and are collateralized by mortgages on residential real estate. Consumer loans make up approximately 15% of the loan portfolio and are primarily collateralized by consumer assets. 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. 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 such matters that will have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2000 and 1999. RECLASSIFICATIONS: Some items in the prior year consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation. FS-8 42 SOUTHERN MICHIGAN BANCORP, INC.

As of July 1, 1999, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." Under SFAS No. 133, all derivative instruments are recorded at their fair values. If derivative instruments are designated as hedges of fair values, both the change in the fair value of the hedge and the hedged item are included in current earnings. Fair value adjustments related to cash flow hedges are recorded in other comprehensive income and reclassified to earnings when the hedged transactions are reflected in earnings. Ineffective portions of hedges are reflected in income currently. The Company does not have any derivative instruments nor does the Company have any hedging activities. As permitted by SFAS No. 133, the Company transferred securities with an amortized cost of $19,131,000 and a fair value of $19,747,000 from the held to maturity portfolio to the available for sale portfolio.

NOTE J - BENEFIT PLANS The defined benefit pension plan covers substantially all full-time employees. The benefits are based on years of service and the employee's average highest compensation during five consecutive years of employment. The funding policy is to contribute annually an amount sufficient to meet the minimum funding requirements set forth in the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, plus additional amounts as may be appropriate from time to time. Contributions are intended to provide not only for benefits attributed to service to date but also for those expected to be earned in the future. Assets held by the plan primarily include corporate and foreign bonds and common equity securities. FS-14 48 SOUTHERN MICHIGAN BANCORP, INC.

The Company has an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) for substantially all full-time employees. The Board of Directors determines the Company's contribution level annually. Assets of the plan are held in trust by the Bank and administrative costs of the plan are borne by the plan sponsor. Costs charged to operations for contributions to the plan totaled $73,000, $78,000 and $90,000 in 2000, 1999 and 1998. During 1999, the Company amended its ESOP plan to adopt 401(k) provisions allowing for employee salary deferrals to purchase either Company stock or mutual funds. Company matching is provided in Company stock. Substantially all employees have converted their ESOP accounts to the amended plan. FS-15 49 SOUTHERN MICHIGAN BANCORP, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) NOTE J - BENEFIT PLANS (CONTINUED) Shares held by the ESOP at year-end are as follows:

The fair value of the allocated shares held by the ESOP is approximately $1,478,000 and $3,990,000 at December 31, 2000 and 1999, 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. 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. Deferred compensation expense was $216,000, $218,000 and $229,000 in 2000, 1999 and 1998. The liability for vested benefits was $1,467,000 and $1,476,000 at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. 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 110,000. 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. No options were granted in 2000. NOTE K - 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. Generally accepted accounting principles recognize these transactions as contingent liabilities and accordingly, they are not reflected in the accompanying financial statements. 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, 2000 and 1999, respectively, the Bank had commitments under commercial letters of credit, used to facilitate customers' trade transactions, of $147,000 and $414,000. Under standby letter of credit agreements, the Bank agrees to honor certain commitments in the event that its customers are unable to do so. At December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively, commitments under outstanding standby letters of credit were $480,000 and $626,000. FS-16 50 SOUTHERN MICHIGAN BANCORP, INC.

The fixed rate commitments have stated interest rates ranging from 8.0% to 17.0%. The terms of the above commitments range from 1 to 60 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. At December 31, 2000, the Company had line of credit agreements with LaSalle Bank and Fifth Third Bank for $8,000,000 and $750,000, respectively. The balances on these lines were $0 at December 31, 2000. The line of credit at LaSalle Bank is secured by Bank stock. At December 31, 2000, the Bank had line of credit agreements with Fifth Third Bank, Bank One and Federal Home Loan Bank for $5,500,000, $7,000,000 and $4,000,000, respectively. The balances on these lines were $0 at December 31, 2000. NOTE L - RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERS FROM SUBSIDIARY Banking laws and regulations restrict the amount the Bank may transfer to the Company in the form of cash dividends, loans and advances. At December 31, 2000, approximately $5,028,000 of the subsidiaries' retained earnings is available for transfer in the form of dividends without prior regulatory approval.

NOTE N - FAIR VALUE INFORMATION The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair values for financial instruments: CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS AND FEDERAL FUNDS SOLD: The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash and due from banks approximate those assets' fair values. SECURITIES: Fair values for investment securities are based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments. The fair value of restricted equity securities approximates amortized cost. LOANS: 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. OFF-BALANCE-SHEET INSTRUMENTS: Fair values for the Bank's letters of credit are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties' credit standing. It is not practicable to estimate the fair value of lending commitments because of the wide variety of the instruments. FS-19 53 SOUTHERN MICHIGAN BANCORP, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) NOTE N - FAIR VALUE INFORMATION (CONTINUED) 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. OTHER BORROWINGS: The fair value of other borrowings is estimated using discounted cash flows analysis based on the Bank's current incremental borrowing rate for similar types of borrowing arrangements. While these estimates of fair value are based on management's judgment of the most appropriate factors, there is no assurance that if the Company had disposed of such items at December 31, 2000 and 1999, 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, 2000 and 1999 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. The estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments at year end are as follows (in thousands):

NOTE O - REGULATORY MATTERS The Company and Bank are subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and 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 about components, risk weightings and other factors, and the regulators can lower classifications in certain cases. Failure to meet various capital requirements can initiate regulatory action that could have a direct material effect on the consolidated financial statements. FS-20 54 SOUTHERN MICHIGAN BANCORP, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) NOTE O - REGULATORY MATTERS (CONTINUED) The prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications, including well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If 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. At year end, actual capital levels (in thousands) and minimum required levels were:
