SOUTHERN MICHIGAN BANCORP, INC. ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER EARNINGS

July 28, 2008

Coldwater, Michigan, July 28, 2008:  Southern Michigan Bancorp, Inc. (OTCBB: SOMC.OB) announced net income of $1,550,000, or $0.68 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2008. This compares to $2,047,000, or $1.15 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2007.  Southern’s net income for the three months ended June 30, 2008, was $349,000, or $0.16 per diluted share, compared to $1,069,000, or $0.60 per diluted share, for the same three month period a year ago. 

John H. Castle, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We are disappointed with our second quarter earnings.  The deterioration in local real estate values and ongoing weakness in the Michigan economy necessitated increasing our loan loss reserves,” Castle continued, “In addition, higher than anticipated conversion expenses and other costs of affiliating the banks negatively impacted FNB Financial’s results as we remake the bank.”

Southern provided $800,000 for loan losses during the second quarter of 2008 compared to no provision for the second quarter of 2007.  Net charge offs totaled $501,000 for the quarter.  Specific loss reserves increased $281,000 since the March 31, 2008 reporting period.  Two thirds of the increase occurred at FNB Financial.  CEO Castle stated, “We have been conservative while assessing the risk in our loan portfolio and remain confident in our ability to successfully address the credit issues we are facing.” 

Southern’s allowance for loan losses totaled $5.6 million or 1.66% of total loans at June 30, 2008 compared to $5.3 million or 1.58% at March 31, 2008.  Non-performing loans totaled $9,318,000 at June 30, 2008, or 2.77% of total loans.  This was an increase of $2,067,000, or 28.5% from March 31, 2008. 

Southern’s 4.41% net interest margin for the six month period ending June 30, 2008 remained strong when compared to peers.  This compared to 4.87% for the comparable 2007 period.  The decline in margin is attributable to the declining rate environment as well as the reversal of interest related to loans placed on non accrual status during the period.  Net interest income for the 2008 six month period was $1,842,000 greater than in 2007 due to the additional loans, investments and deposits acquired from FNB.

Non-interest income for the second quarter of 2008 was $521,000 greater than the comparable period in 2007.  The increase is attributable to FNB non-interest income. Non-interest expense for the second quarter of 2008 was $1,605,000 greater than 2007. The increase was largely due to the FNB acquisition.  Non-interest expense for the second quarter also includes approximately $107,000 of costs incurred relating to the core processing and trust system conversions at FNB Financial.     

The annualized return on average assets for the six month periods ending June 30, 2008 and 2007 was 0.64% and 1.23%, respectively.  The annualized return on average equity was 6.75% for the 2008 period compared to 13.84% for the 2007 period.

Financial results for 2008 were influenced by the acquisition of FNB Financial on December 1, 2007. In accordance with the purchase method of accounting, FNB’s results of operations were included in Southern’s consolidated statements of income from the date of acquisition. As a result of the merger, Southern recorded additional net loans of $76.8 million, securities of $40.2 million and additional deposits of $118.6 million at the time of the acquisition.
