Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of this report and other cautionary statements set forth elsewhere in this report.
Mid Penn Bancorp, Inc.
Mid Penn Bancorp, Inc. is a one-bank holding company, incorporated in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in August 1991. On December 31, 1991, MPB acquired, as part of the holding company formation, all of the outstanding common stock of Mid Penn Bank, and the Bank became a wholly owned subsidiary of MPB. MPBs other wholly owned subsidiaries are Mid Penn Insurance Services, LLC, which provides a range of personal and investment insurance products and Mid Penn Investment Corporation, which is engaged in investing activities. Mid Penn Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries are collectively referred to herein as MPB or the Company. MPBs primary business is to supervise and coordinate the business of its subsidiaries and to provide them with capital and resources.
MPBs consolidated financial condition and results of operations consist almost entirely of that of Mid Penn Bank, which is managed as a single business segment. At December 31, 2007, MPB had total consolidated assets of $509,757,000 total deposits of $372,817,000 and total shareholders equity of $40,444,000.
As of December 31, 2007, Mid Penn Bancorp, Inc. did not own or lease any properties. Mid Penn Bank owns the banking offices identified in Item 2. All MPB employees are employed by Mid Penn Bank, Mid Penn Insurance Services, LLC or Mid Penn Investment Corporation.
Mid Penn Bank
Millersburg Bank, the predecessor to Mid Penn Bank (the Bank), was organized in 1868, and became a state chartered bank in 1931, obtaining trust powers in 1935, at which time its name was changed to Millersburg Trust Company. In 1962, the Lykens Valley Bank merged with and into Millersburg Trust Company. In 1971, Farmers State Bank of Dalmatia merged with Millersburg Trust Company and the resulting entity adopted the name Mid Penn Bank. In 1985, the Bank acquired Tower City National Bank. In 1998, MPB acquired Miners Bank of Lykens, which was merged into Mid Penn Bank. The Bank is supervised by the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. MPBs and the Banks legal headquarters are located at 349 Union Street, Millersburg, Pennsylvania 17061. The Bank presently has 15 offices located throughout Dauphin, Northumberland, Schuylkill, and Cumberland Counties, Pennsylvania.
MPBs primary business consists of attracting deposits from its network of community banking offices operated by the Bank. The Bank engages in full-service commercial banking and trust business, making available to the community a wide range of financial services, including, but not limited to, installment loans, personal loans, mortgage and home equity loans, secured and unsecured commercial and consumer loans, lines of credit, construction financing, farm loans, community development and local government loans and various types of time and demand deposits. Deposits of the Bank are insured by the Bank Insurance Fund of the FDIC to the
1
maximum extent provided by law. In addition, the Bank provides a full range of trust services through its Trust Department. The Bank also offers other services such as Internet banking, telephone banking, cash management services, automated teller services and safe deposit boxes.
Business Strategy
The Bank provides an array of sophisticated products typically found only in major regional banks. These services are provided to small to middle market businesses, high net worth individuals, and retail consumers through 15 full service banking facilities. Several banking locations have seasoned management with significant lending experience who are responsible for credit and pricing decisions, subject to loan committee approval for larger credits. This decentralized relationship management approach, coupled with the continuity of service by its banking officers, enables the Bank to develop long-term customer relationships, maintain high quality service and provide quick responses to customer needs. MPB believes that its emphasis on local relationship banking, together with its conservative approach to lending and resultant strong asset quality, are important factors in the success and the growth of MPB.
The Bank seeks credit opportunities of good quality within its target market that exhibit positive historical trends, stable cash flows and secondary sources of repayment from tangible collateral. The Bank extends credit for the purpose of obtaining and continuing long-term relationships. Lenders are provided with detailed underwriting policies for all types of credit risks accepted by the Bank and must obtain appropriate approvals for credit extensions in excess of conservatively assigned individual lending limits. The Bank also maintains strict documentation requirements and extensive credit quality assurance practices in order to identify credit portfolio weaknesses as early as possible so any exposures that are discovered might be reduced.
At December 31, 2007, the Bank had 134 full-time and 20 part-time employees. A collective bargaining agent represents none of the employees, and the Bank believes it enjoys good relations with its personnel.
Lending Activities
The Bank offers a variety of loan products to its customers, including loans secured by real estate, commercial and consumer loans. The Banks lending objectives are as follows:
|
to establish a diversified commercial loan portfolio; and |
|
to provide a satisfactory return to MPBs shareholders by properly pricing loans to include the cost of funds, administrative costs, bad debts, local economic conditions, competition, customer relationships, the term of the loan, credit risk, collateral quality and a reasonable profit margin. |
Credit risk is managed through portfolio diversification, underwriting policies and procedures and loan monitoring practices. The Bank generally secures its loans with real estate with such collateral values dependent and subject to change based on real estate market conditions within its market area. As of December 31, 2007, the Banks highest concentrations of credit were in hotel/motel and multiple-family housing financings and most of the Banks business activity with customers was located in Central Pennsylvania, specifically in Dauphin, lower Northumberland, Western Schuylkill, and Cumberland Counties.
2
Investment Activities
MPBs investment portfolio is used to improve earnings through investments of funds in higher-yielding assets, while maintaining asset quality, which provide the necessary balance sheet liquidity for MPB. MPB does not have any significant concentrations within investment securities.
MPBs entire portfolio of investment securities is considered available for sale. As such, the investments are recorded on the balance sheet at market value. MPBs investments include US Treasury, agency and municipal securities that are given a market price relative to investments of the same type with similar maturity dates. As the interest rate environment of these securities changes, MPBs existing securities are valued differently in comparison. This difference in value, or unrealized gain, amounted to $434,000, net of tax, as of December 31, 2007. A majority of the investments are high quality United States and municipal securities that if held to maturity are expected to yield no loss to the Bank.
For additional information with respect to MPBs business activities, see Part II, Item 7 of this report.
Sources of Funds
The Bank primarily uses deposits and borrowings to finance lending and investment activities. Borrowing sources include advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh, reverse repurchase agreements with investment banks and overnight borrowings from the Banks customers and correspondent bank. All borrowings, except for the line of credit with the Banks correspondent bank, require collateral in the form of loans or securities. Borrowings are, therefore, limited by collateral levels and the available lines of credit extended by the Banks creditors. As a result, deposits remain key to the future funding and growth of the business. Deposit growth within the banking industry has been generally slow due to strong competition from a variety of financial services companies. This competition may require financial institutions to adjust their product offerings and pricing to adequately grow deposits.
Competition
The banking business is highly competitive, and the profitability of MPB depends principally upon the Banks ability to compete in its market area. The Bank actively competes with other financial services companies for deposit and loan business. Competitors include other commercial banks, savings banks, savings and loan associations, insurance companies, securities brokerage firms, credit unions, finance companies, mutual funds, and money market funds. Financial institutions compete primarily on the quality of services rendered, interest rates on loans and deposits, service charges, the convenience of banking facilities, location and hours of operation and, in the case of loans to larger commercial borrowers, relative lending limits.
Many competitors are significantly larger than the Bank and have significantly greater financial resources, personnel and locations from which to conduct business. In addition, the Bank is subject to banking regulations while certain competitors may not be. There are relatively few barriers for companies wanting to enter into the financial services industry. For more information, see the Supervision and Regulation section below.
MPB has been able to compete effectively with other financial institutions by emphasizing technology and customer service, including local branch decision making on loans, establishing long-term customer relationships and building customer loyalty, and providing
3
products and services designed to address the specific needs of its customers. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (see discussion below), which breaks down many barriers between the banking, securities and insurance industries, may significantly affect the competitive environment in which MPB operates.
The growth of mutual funds over the past decade has made it increasingly difficult for financial institutions to attract deposits. The continued flow of cash into mutual funds, much of which is made through tax deferred investment vehicles such as 401(k) plans, and a generally strong economy, have, until recently, fueled high returns for these investments, in particular, certain equity funds. These returns perpetuated the flow of additional investment dollars into mutual funds and other products not traditionally offered by banks. In addition, insurance companies recently have become more significant competitors for deposits through their thrift subsidiaries.
Further, MPBs success is dependent to a significant degree on economic conditions in Central Pennsylvania, especially in Dauphin, lower Northumberland, Western Schuylkill and eastern Cumberland Counties, which we define as our primary market. The banking industry is affected by general economic conditions including the effects of inflation, recession, unemployment, real estate values, trends in the national and global economics, and other factors beyond our control. An economic recession or a delayed recovery over a prolonged period of time in the Central Pennsylvania area could cause an increase in the level of the Banks non-performing assets and loan and lease losses, thereby causing operating losses, impairing liquidity and eroding capital. We cannot assure you that further adverse changes in the local economy would not have a material adverse effect on MPBs consolidated financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
Supervision and Regulation
General
Bank holding companies and banks are extensively regulated under both Federal and state laws. The regulation and supervision of MPB and the Bank are designed primarily for the protection of depositors, the FDIC, and the monetary system, and not MPB or its shareholders. Enforcement actions may include the imposition of a conservator or receiver, cease-and-desist orders and written agreements, the termination of insurance on deposits, the imposition of civil money penalties and removal and prohibition orders. If any enforcement action is taken by a banking regulator, the value of an equity investment in MPB could be substantially reduced or eliminated.
Federal and state banking laws contain numerous provisions affecting various aspects of the business and operations of MPB and the Bank. MPB is subject to, among others, the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Federal Reserve Board and the Bank is subject to, among others, the regulations of the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The following descriptions of and references to applicable statutes and regulations are not intended to be complete descriptions of these provisions or their effects on MPB or the Bank. They are summaries only and are qualified in their entirety by reference to such statutes and regulations.
Holding Company Regulation
MPB is a registered bank holding company subject to supervision and regulation by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the Federal Reserve). As such, it is subject to the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 (BHCA) and many of the Federal Reserves regulations promulgated thereunder. The Federal Reserve has broad enforcement powers over bank holding companies, including the power to impose substantial fines and civil penalties.
4
The BHCA requires MPB to file an annual report with the Federal Reserve regarding the holding company and its subsidiary bank. The Federal Reserve Board also makes examinations of the holding company. The Bank is not a member of the Federal Reserve System; however, the Federal Reserve possesses cease-and-desist powers over bank holding companies and their subsidiaries where their actions would constitute an unsafe or unsound practice or violation of law.
The BHCA restricts a bank holding companys ability to acquire control of additional banks. In addition, the BHCA restricts the activities in which bank holding companies may engage directly or through non-bank subsidiaries.
Gramm-Leach-Bliley Financial Modernization Act
The Gramm-Leach Bliley Act (GLB) became effective on March 11, 2000. The primary purpose of GLB was to eliminate barriers between investment banking and commercial banking and to permit, within certain limitations, the affiliation of financial service providers. Generally, GLB:
|
repealed the historical restrictions against, and eliminated many federal and state law barriers to affiliations among banks, securities firms, insurance companies and other financial service providers, |
|
provided a uniform framework for the activities of banks, savings institutions and their holding companies, |
|
broadened the activities that may be conducted by and through national banks and other banking subsidiaries of bank holding companies, |
|
provided an enhanced framework for protecting the privacy of consumers information, |
|
adopted a number of provisions related to the capitalization, membership, corporate governance and other measures designed to modernize the Federal Home Loan Bank System, |
|
modified the laws governing the implementation of the Community Reinvestment Act, and |
|
addressed a variety of other legal and regulatory issues affecting both day-to-day operations and long-term activities of financial institutions. |
More specifically, under GLB, bank holding companies, such as MPB, that meet certain management, capital, and Community Reinvestment Act standards, are permitted to become financial holding companies and, by doing so, to affiliate with securities firms and insurance companies and to engage in other activities that are financial in nature, incidental to such financial activities, or complementary to such activities. A bank holding company may become a financial holding company if each of its subsidiary banks is well capitalized under the FDIC Improvement Acts prompt corrective action provisions, is well managed and has at least a satisfactory rating under the Community Reinvestment Act. The required filing is a declaration that the bank holding company wishes to become a financial holding company and meets all applicable requirements.
5
No prior regulatory approval will be required for a financial holding company to acquire a company, other than a bank or savings association, engaged in activities permitted under GLB. Activities cited by GLB as being financial in nature include:
|
securities underwriting, dealing and market making; |
|
sponsoring mutual funds and investment companies; |
|
insurance underwriting and agency; |
|
merchant banking activities; and |
|
activities that the Federal Reserve has determined to be closely related to banking. |
In addition to permitting financial services providers to enter into new lines of business, the law allows firms the freedom to streamline existing operations and to potentially reduce costs. The Act may increase both opportunity as well as competition. Many community banks are less able to devote the capital and management resources needed to facilitate broad expansion of financial services including insurance and brokerage services.
Corporate Governance
On July 30, 2002, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 was enacted. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act represents a comprehensive revision of laws affecting corporate governance, auditor independence and accounting standards, executive compensation, insider loans, whistleblower protection, and enhanced and timely disclosure of corporate information. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act is applicable to all companies with equity securities registered or that file reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In particular, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act established:
|
new requirements for audit committees, including independence, expertise and responsibilities; |
|
additional responsibilities regarding financial statements for the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the reporting company; |
|
new standards for auditors and regulation of audits; |
|
increased disclosure and reporting obligations for the reporting company and its directors and executive officers; and |
|
new and increased civil and criminal penalties for violations of the securities laws. |
The SEC and AMEX have adopted numerous rules implementing the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act that affect MPB. The changes are intended to allow shareholders to monitor more effectively the performance of companies and management. Increased costs have been approximately $200,000 annually related to MPBs compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
Bank Regulation
The Bank, a Pennsylvania-chartered institution, is subject to supervision, regulation and examination by the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and the FDIC. The deposits of the Bank are insured by the FDIC to the extent provided by law. The FDIC assesses deposit insurance premiums the amount of which may, in the future, depend in part on the condition of the Bank. Moreover, the FDIC may terminate deposit insurance of the Bank under certain circumstances. The Bank regulatory agencies have broad enforcement powers over depository institutions under their jurisdiction, including the power to terminate deposit insurance, to impose fines and other
6
civil and criminal penalties, and to appoint a conservator or receiver if any of a number of conditions is met. In addition, the Bank is subject to a variety of local, state and federal laws that affect its operations.
Banking regulations include, but are not limited to, permissible types and amounts of loans, investments and other activities, capital adequacy, branching, interest rates on loans and the safety and soundness of banking practices.
Capital Requirements
Under risk-based capital requirements for bank holding companies, MPB is required to maintain a minimum ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets (including certain off-balance-sheet activities, such as standby letters of credit) of eight percent. At least half of the total capital is to be composed of common equity, retained earnings and qualifying perpetual preferred stock, less goodwill (Tier 1 Capital and together with Tier 2 Capital, Total Capital). The remainder may consist of subordinated debt, non-qualifying preferred stock and a limited amount of the loan loss allowance (Tier 2 Capital).
In addition, the Federal Reserve Board has established minimum leverage ratio requirements for bank holding companies. These requirements provide for a minimum leverage ratio of Tier 1 Capital to adjusted average quarterly assets (leverage ratio) equal to 3% for bank holding companies that meet certain specified criteria, including having the highest regulatory rating. All other bank holding companies will generally be required to maintain a leverage ratio of from at least 4-5%. The requirements also provide that bank holding companies experiencing internal growth or making acquisitions will be expected to maintain strong capital positions substantially above the minimum supervisory levels without significant reliance on intangible assets. Furthermore, the requirements indicate that the Federal Reserve Board will continue to consider a Tangible Tier 1 Leverage Ratio (deducting all intangibles) in evaluating proposals for expansion or new activity. The Federal Reserve Board has not advised MPB of any specific minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio applicable to it.
The Bank is subject to similar capital requirements adopted by the FDIC. The FDIC has not advised the Bank of any specific minimum leverage ratios applicable to it.
The capital ratios of MPB and the Bank are described in Note 18 to MPBs Consolidated Financial Statements.
Banking regulators continue to indicate their desire to further develop capital requirements applicable to banking organizations. Changes to capital requirements could materially affect the profitability of MPB or the market value of MPB stock.
FDIC Improvement Act
As a result of the FDIC Improvement Act of 1991, banks are subject to increased reporting requirements and more frequent examinations by the bank regulatory agencies. The agencies also have the authority to dictate certain key decisions that formerly were left to management, including compensation standards, loan underwriting standards, asset growth, and payment of dividends. Failure to comply with these standards, or failure to maintain capital above specified levels set by the regulators, could lead to the imposition of penalties or the forced resignation of management. If a bank becomes critically undercapitalized, the banking agencies have the authority to place an institution into receivership.
7
Safety and Soundness Standards
Pursuant to FDICIA, the federal banking regulatory agencies have adopted a set of guidelines prescribing safety and soundness standards for depository institutions such as the Bank. The guidelines establish general standards relating to internal controls and information systems, internal audit systems, loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest rate exposure, asset growth, asset quality, earnings and compensation, fees and benefits. In general, the guidelines require, among other things, appropriate systems and practices to identify and manage the risks and exposures specified in the guidelines. The guidelines prohibit excessive compensation as an unsafe and unsound practice and describe compensation as excessive when the amounts paid are unreasonable or disproportionate to the services performed by an executive officer, employee, director or principal shareholder. In addition, the agencies adopted regulations that authorize an agency to order an institution that has been given notice by an agency that it is not satisfying any of such safety and soundness standards to submit a compliance plan. If the institution fails to submit an acceptable compliance plan or fails to implement an accepted plan, the agency must issue an order directing action to correct the deficiency and may issue an order directing other actions be taken, including restricting asset growth, restricting interest rates paid on deposits, and requiring an increase in the institutions ratio of tangible equity to assets.
Payment of Dividends and Other Restrictions
MPB is a legal entity separate and distinct from its subsidiary, the Bank. There are various legal and regulatory limitations on the extent to which the Bank can, among other things, finance, or otherwise supply funds to, MPB. Specifically, dividends from the Bank are the principal source of MPBs cash funds and there are certain legal restrictions under Pennsylvania law and Pennsylvania banking regulations on the payment of dividends by state-chartered banks. The relevant regulatory agencies also have authority to prohibit MPB and the Bank from engaging in what, in the opinion of such regulatory body, constitutes an unsafe or unsound banking practice. The payment of dividends could, depending upon the financial condition of MPB and the Bank, be deemed to constitute such an unsafe or unsound practice.
Prompt Corrective Action
In addition to the required minimum capital levels described above, federal law establishes a system of prompt corrective actions which Federal banking agencies are required to take, and certain actions which they have discretion to take, based upon the capital category into which a federally regulated depository institution falls. Regulations set forth detailed procedures and criteria for implementing prompt corrective action in the case of any institution, which is not adequately capitalized. Under the rules, an institution will be deemed to be adequately capitalized or better if it exceeds the minimum Federal regulatory capital requirements. However, it will be deemed undercapitalized if it fails to meet the minimum capital requirements, significantly undercapitalized if it has a total risk-based capital ratio that is less than 6.0%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio that is less than 3.0%, or a leverage ratio that is less than 3.0%, and critically undercapitalized if the institution has a ratio of tangible equity to total assets that is equal to or less than 2.0%.
The prompt corrective action rules require an undercapitalized institution to file a written capital restoration plan, along with a performance guaranty by its holding company or a third party. In addition, an undercapitalized institution becomes subject to certain automatic restrictions including a prohibition on payment of dividends, a limitation on asset growth and expansion, in
8
certain cases, a limitation on the payment of bonuses or raises to senior executive officers, and a prohibition on the payment of certain management fees to any controlling person. Institutions that are classified as undercapitalized are also subject to certain additional supervisory actions, including increased reporting burdens and regulatory monitoring, a limitation on the institutions ability to make acquisitions, open new branch offices, or engage in new lines of business, obligations to raise additional capital, restrictions on transactions with affiliates, and restrictions on interest rates paid by the institution on deposits. In certain cases, bank regulatory agencies may require replacement of senior executive officers or directors, or sale of the institution to a willing purchaser. If an institution is deemed to be critically undercapitalized and continues in that category for four quarters, the statute requires, with certain narrowly limited exceptions, that the institution be placed in receivership.
Deposit Insurance
Deposits of the Bank are insured by the FDIC through the Bank Insurance Fund (BIF). The insurance assessments paid by an institution are to be based on the probability that the fund will incur a loss with respect to the institution. The FDIC has adopted deposit insurance regulations under which insured institutions are assigned to one of the following three capital groups based on their capital levels: well-capitalized, adequately capitalized and undercapitalized. Banks in each of these three groups are further classified into three subgroups based upon the level of supervisory concern with respect to each bank. The resulting matrix creates nine assessment risk classifications to which are assigned deposit insurance premiums ranging from 0.00% for the best-capitalized, healthiest institutions, to 0.27% for undercapitalized institutions with substantial supervisory concerns.
The FDIC sets deposit insurance assessment rates on a semiannual basis and will increase deposit insurance assessments whenever the ratio of reserves to insured deposits in a fund is less than 1.25. While under the current assessment matrix, the Bank does not pay any assessments for deposit insurance, because of past bank failures there is a possibility that the FDIC will adjust the assessment matrix in the future and that as a result the Bank may have to start paying insurance assessments.
The Bank is also subject to quarterly assessments relating to interest payments on Financing Corporation (FICO) bonds issued in connection with the resolution of the thrift industry crisis. The FICO assessment rate is adjusted quarterly to reflect changes in the assessment bases of the BIF and SAIF. The FICO assessments on BIF-insured deposits are set at an annual rate of .0168% of assessable deposits.
Environmental Laws
Management does not anticipate that compliance with environmental laws and regulations will have any material effect on MPBs capital, expenditures, earnings, or competitive position. However, environmentally related hazards have become a source of high risk and potentially unlimited liability for financial institutions.
In 1995, the Pennsylvania General Assembly enacted the Economic Development Agency, Fiduciary and Lender Environmental Liability Protection Act, which among other things, provides protection to lenders from environmental liability and remediation costs under the environmental laws for releases and contamination caused by others. A lender who engages in activities involved in the routine practices of commercial lending, including, but not limited to, the providing of financial services, holding of security interests, workout practices, foreclosure or
9
the recovery of funds from the sale of property shall not be liable under the environmental acts or common law equivalents to the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Resources or to any other person by virtue of the fact that the lender engages in such commercial lending practice. A lender, however, will be liable if it, its employees or agents, directly cause an immediate release or directly exacerbate a release of regulated substance on or from the property, or known and willfully compelled the borrower to commit an action which caused such release or violate an environmental act. The Economic Development Agency, Fiduciary and Lender Environmental Liability Protection Act does not limit federal liability which still exists under certain circumstances.
Consumer Protection Laws
There are a number of laws that govern the relationship between the Bank and its customers. For example, the Community Reinvestment Act is designed to encourage lending by banks to persons in low and moderate income areas. The Home Mortgage Disclosure Act and the Equal Credit Opportunity Act attempt to minimize lending decisions based on impermissible criteria, such as race or gender. The Truth-in-Lending Act and the Truth-in-Savings Act require banks to provide certain disclosure of relevant terms related to loans and savings accounts, respectively. Anti-tying restrictions (which prohibit, for instance, conditioning the availability or terms of credit on the purchase of another banking product) further restrict the Banks relationships with its customers.
Privacy Laws
In 2000, the federal banking regulators issued final regulations implementing certain provisions of GLB governing the privacy of consumer financial information. The regulations limit the disclosure by financial institutions, such as MPB and the Bank, of nonpublic personal information about individuals who obtain financial products or services for personal, family, or household purposes. Subject to certain exceptions allowed by law, the regulations cover information sharing between financial institutions and nonaffiliated third parties. More specifically, the regulations require financial institutions to:
|
provide initial notices to customers about their privacy policies, describing the conditions under which they may disclose nonpublic personal financial information to nonaffiliated third parties and affiliates; |
|
provide annual notices of their privacy policies to their current customers; and |
|
provide a reasonable method for consumers to opt out of disclosures to nonaffiliated third parties. |
Protection of Customer Information
In 2001, the federal banking regulators issued final regulations implementing the provisions of GLB relating to the protection of customer information. The regulations, applicable to the MPB and the Bank, relate to administrative, technical, and physical safeguards for customer records and information. These safeguards are intended to:
|
insure the security and confidentiality of customer records and information; |
|
protect against any anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of such records; and |
10
|
protect against unauthorized access to or use of such records or information that could result in substantial harm or inconvenience to any customer. |
Affiliate Transactions
Transactions between MPB and the Bank and its affiliates are governed by Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act. An affiliate of a bank or savings institution is any company or entity that controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the bank or savings institution. Generally, a subsidiary of a depository institution that is not also a depository institution is not treated as an affiliate of the bank for purposes of Sections 23A and 23B. Sections 23A and 23B are intended to protect insured depository institutions from suffering losses arising from transactions with non-insured affiliates, by limiting the extent to which a bank or its subsidiaries may engage in covered transactions with any one affiliate and with all affiliates of the bank in the aggregate, and requiring that such transactions be on terms that are consistent with safe and sound banking practices.
In 2002, the Federal Reserve adopted a new regulation, Regulation W, effective April 1, 2003, that comprehensively amends Sections 23A and 23B. The regulation unifies and updates staff interpretations issued over the years, incorporates several new interpretative proposals (such as to clarify when transactions with an unrelated third party will be attributed to an affiliate), and addresses new issues arising as a result of the expanded scope of non-banking activities engaged in by bank and bank holding companies in recent years and authorized for financial holding companies under the GLB.
The USA Patriot Act
In 2001, the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (USA Patriot Act) was signed into law. The USA Patriot Act broadened the application of anti-money laundering regulations to apply to additional types of financial institutions, such as broker-dealers, and strengthened the ability of the U.S. government to detect and prosecute international money laundering and the financing of terrorism. The principal provisions of Title III of the USA Patriot Act require that regulated financial institutions, including state-chartered banks:
|
establish an anti-money laundering program that includes training and audit components; |
|
comply with regulations regarding the verification of the identity of any person seeking to open an account; |
|
take additional required precautions with non-U.S. owned accounts; and |

perform certain verification and certification of money laundering risk for their foreign correspondent banking relationships. |
The USA Patriot Act also expanded the conditions under which funds in a U.S. interbank account may be subject to forfeiture and increased the penalties for violation of anti-money laundering regulations. Failure of a financial institution to comply with the USA Patriot Acts requirements could have serious legal and reputational consequences for the institution. The Bank has adopted policies, procedures and controls to address compliance with the requirements of the USA Patriot Act under the existing regulations and will continue to revise and update its policies, procedures and controls to reflect changes required by the USA Patriot Act and implementing regulations.

Anti-Money Laundering and Anti-Terrorism Financing
Under Title III of the USA PATRIOT Act, also known as the International Money Laundering Abatement and Anti-Terrorism Financing Act of 2001, all financial institutions, including MPB and the Bank, are required in general to identify their customers, adopt formal and comprehensive anti-money laundering programs, scrutinize or prohibit altogether certain transactions of special concern, and be prepared to respond to inquiries from U.S. law enforcement agencies concerning their customers and their transactions. Additional information-sharing among financial institutions, regulators, and law enforcement authorities is encouraged by the presence of an exemption from the privacy provisions of the GLB Act for financial institutions that comply with this provision and the authorization of the Secretary of the Treasury to adopt rules to further encourage cooperation and information-sharing. The effectiveness of a financial institution in combating money laundering activities is a factor to be considered in any application submitted by the financial institution under the Bank Merger Act, which applies to the Bank.
Effects of Government Policy and Potential Changes in Regulation
Changes in regulations applicable to MPB or the Bank, or shifts in monetary or other government policies, could have a material affect on our business. MPBs and the Banks business is also affected by the state of the financial services industry in general. As a result of legal and industry changes, management believes that the industry will continue to experience an increased rate of change as the financial services industry strives for greater product offerings, market share and economies of scale.
From time to time, legislation is enacted that has the effect of increasing the cost of doing business, limiting or expanding permissible activities or affecting the competitive balance between banks and other financial institutions. Proposals to change the laws and regulations governing the operations and taxation of banks, bank holding companies and other financial institutions are frequently made in Congress, and before various bank regulatory agencies. MPB cannot predict the likelihood of any major changes or the impact such changes might have on MPB and/or the Bank. Various congressional bills and other proposals have proposed a sweeping overhaul of the banking system, including provisions for: limitations on deposit insurance coverage; changing the timing and method financial institutions use to pay for deposit insurance; expanding the power of banks by removing the restrictions on bank underwriting activities; and tightening the regulation of bank derivatives activities; and allowing commercial enterprises to own banks.
MPBs earnings are and will be affected by domestic economic conditions and the monetary and fiscal policies of the United States government and its agencies. The monetary policies of the Federal Reserve have had, and will likely continue to have, an impact on the operating results of commercial banks because of the Federal Reserves power to implement national monetary policy, to, among other things, curb inflation or combat recession. The Federal Reserve has a major impact on the levels of bank loans, investments and deposits through its open market operations in United States government securities and through its regulation of, among other things, the discount rate on borrowings of member banks and the reserve requirements against member bank deposits. It is not possible to predict the nature and impact of future changes in monetary and fiscal policies.
From time to time, various types of federal and state legislation have been proposed that could result in additional regulation of, and restrictions on, the business of the Bank. It cannot be predicted whether any such legislation will be adopted or, if adopted, how such legislation would
12
affect the business of the Bank. As a consequence of the extensive regulation of commercial banking activities in the United States, the Banks business is particularly susceptible to being affected by federal legislation and regulations that may increase the costs of doing business.

ITEM 1A . | RISK FACTORS . |
MPB Is Subject To Interest Rate Risk
MPBs earnings and cash flows are largely dependent upon its net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between interest income earned on interest-earning assets such as loans and securities and interest expense paid on interest-bearing liabilities such as deposits and borrowed funds. Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors that are beyond MPBs control, including general economic conditions and policies of various governmental and regulatory agencies and, in particular, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. Changes in monetary policy, including changes in interest rates, could influence not only the interest MPB receives on loans and securities and the amount of interest it pays on deposits and borrowings, but such changes could also affect (i) MPBs ability to originate loans and obtain deposits, (ii) the fair value of MPBs financial assets and liabilities, and (iii) the average duration of MPBs mortgage-backed securities portfolio. If the interest rates paid on deposits and other borrowings increase at a faster rate than the interest rates received on loans and other investments, MPBs net interest income, and therefore earnings, could be adversely affected. Earnings could also be adversely affected if the interest rates received on loans and other investments fall more quickly than the interest rates paid on deposits and other borrowings.
Although management believes it has implemented effective asset and liability management strategies, to reduce the potential effects of changes in interest rates on MPBs results of operations. Any substantial, unexpected, prolonged change in market interest rates could have a material adverse effect on MPBs financial condition and results of operations.
MPB Is Subject To Lending Risk
As of December 31, 2007, approximately 76.5% of MPBs loan portfolio consisted of commercial and industrial, construction and commercial real estate loans. These types of loans are generally viewed as having more risk of default than residential real estate loans or consumer loans. These types of loans are also typically larger than residential real estate loans and consumer loans. Because MPBs loan portfolio contains a significant number of commercial and industrial, construction and commercial real estate loans with relatively large balances, the deterioration of one or a few of these loans could cause a significant increase in non-performing loans. An increase in non-performing loans could result in a net loss of earnings from these loans, an increase in the provision for possible loan and lease losses and an increase in loan charge-offs, all of which could have a material adverse effect on MPBs financial condition and results of operations.
MPBs Allowance For Possible Loan and Lease Losses May Be Insufficient
MPB maintains an allowance for possible loan and lease losses, which is a reserve established through provisions for possible losses charged to expense, that represents managements best estimate of probable losses that have been incurred within the existing portfolio of loans. The allowance, in the judgment of management, is necessary to reserve for estimated loan and lease losses and risks inherent in the loan portfolio. The level of the allowance reflects managements continuing evaluation of industry concentrations; specific credit risks; loan loss experience; current loan portfolio quality; present economic, political and regulatory conditions and unidentified losses inherent in the current loan portfolio. The determination of the appropriate level of the allowance for possible loan and lease losses inherently involves a high degree of subjectivity and requires MPB to make significant estimates of current credit risks and
14
future trends, all of which may undergo material changes. Changes in economic conditions affecting borrowers, new information regarding existing loans, identification of additional problem credits and other factors, both within and outside of MPBs control, may require an increase in the allowance. In addition, bank regulatory agencies periodically review MPBs and may require an increase in the provision for possible loan and lease losses or the recognition of further loan charge-offs, based on judgments different than those of management. In addition, if charge-offs in future periods exceed the allowance, MPB will need additional provisions to increase the allowance for possible loan and lease losses. Any increases in the allowance will result in a decrease in net income and, possibly, capital, and may have a material adverse effect on MPBs financial condition and results of operations.
Competition from other financial institutions may adversely affect MPBs profitability
MPBs banking subsidiary faces substantial competition in originating, both commercial and consumer loans. This competition comes principally from other banks, savings institutions, mortgage banking companies and other lenders. Many of its competitors enjoy advantages, including greater financial resources and higher lending limits, a wider geographic presence, more accessible branch office locations, the ability to offer a wider array of services or more favorable pricing alternatives, as well as lower origination and operating costs. This competition could reduce the Corporations net income by decreasing the number and size of loans that its banking subsidiary originates and the interest rates they may charge on these loans.
In attracting business and consumer deposits, its banking subsidiary faces substantial competition from other insured depository institutions such as banks, savings institutions and credit unions, as well as institutions offering uninsured investment alternatives, including money market funds. Many of MPBs competitors enjoy advantages, including greater financial resources, more aggressive marketing campaigns, better brand recognition and more convenient branch locations. These competitors may offer higher interest rates than MPB, which could decrease the deposits that it attracts or require it to increase its rates to retain existing deposits or attract new deposits. Increased deposit competition could adversely affect MPBs ability to generate the funds necessary for lending operations. As a result, it may need to seek other sources of funds that may be more expensive to obtain and could increase its cost of funds.
MPBs banking subsidiary also competes with non-bank providers of financial services, such as brokerage firms, consumer finance companies, credit unions, insurance agencies and governmental organizations, which may offer more favorable terms. Some of its non-bank competitors are not subject to the same extensive regulations that govern its banking operations. As a result, such non-bank competitors may have advantages over MPBs banking subsidiary in providing certain products and services. This competition may reduce or limit its margins on banking services, reduce its market share and adversely affect its earnings and financial condition.
MPBs Controls and Procedures May Fail or Be Circumvented
Management regularly reviews and updates MPBs internal controls, disclosure controls and procedures, and corporate governance policies and procedures. Any system of controls, however well designed and operated, is based in part on certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurances that the objectives of the system are met. Any failure or circumvention of MPBs controls and procedures or failure to comply with regulations related to controls and procedures could have a material adverse effect on MPBs business, results of operations and financial condition.
15
MPBs ability to pay dividends depends primarily on dividends from its banking subsidiary, which is subject to regulatory limits
MPB is a bank holding company and its operations are conducted by its subsidiaries. Its ability to pay dividends depends on its receipt of dividends from its subsidiaries. Dividend payments from its banking subsidiary are subject to legal and regulatory limitations, generally based on net profits and retained earnings, imposed by the various banking regulatory agencies. The ability of its subsidiaries to pay dividends is also subject to its profitability, financial condition, capital expenditures and other cash flow requirements. There is no assurance that its subsidiaries will be able to pay dividends in the future or that MPB will generate adequate cash flow to pay dividends in the future. MPBs failure to pay dividends on its common stock could have a material adverse effect on the market price of its common stock.
MPB May Not Be Able To Attract and Retain Skilled People
MPBs success depends, in large part, on its ability to attract and retain key people. Competition for the best people in most activities engaged in by MPB can be intense and MPB may not be able to hire people or to retain them. The unexpected loss of services of one or more of MPBs key personnel could have a material adverse impact on MPBs business because of their skills, knowledge of MPBs market, years of industry experience and the difficulty of promptly finding qualified replacement personnel. Other than Mr. Dakeys Employment Agreement, MPB does not currently have employment agreements or non-competition agreements with any of its other senior officers.
MPB Is Subject To Claims and Litigation Pertaining To Fiduciary Responsibility
From time to time, customers make claims and take legal action pertaining to MPBs performance of its fiduciary responsibilities. Whether customer claims and legal action related to MPBs performance of its fiduciary responsibilities are founded or unfounded, if such claims and legal actions are not resolved in a manner favorable to MPB they may result in significant financial liability and/or adversely affect the market perception of MPB and its products and services as well as impact customer demand for those products and services. Any financial liability or reputation damage could have a material adverse effect on MPBs business, which, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on MPBs financial condition and results of operations.
The Trading Volume In MPBs Common Stock Is Less Than That Of Other Larger Financial Services Companies
MPBs common stock is listed for trading on AMEX, the trading volume in its common stock is less than that of other larger financial services companies. A public trading market having the desired characteristics of depth, liquidity and orderliness depends on the presence in the marketplace of willing buyers and sellers of MPBs common stock at any given time. This presence depends on the individual decisions of investors and general economic and market conditions over which MPB has no control. Given the lower trading volume of MPBs common stock, significant sales of MPBs common stock, or the expectation of these sales, could cause MPBs stock price to fall.
16
MPB operates in a highly regulated environment and may be adversely affected by changes in federal, state and local laws and regulations.
MPB is subject to extensive regulation, supervision and examination by federal and state banking authorities. Any change in applicable regulations or federal, state or local legislation could have a substantial impact on MPB and its operations. Additional legislation and regulations that could significantly affect MPBs powers, authority and operations may be enacted or adopted in the future, which could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition and results of operations. Further, regulators have significant discretion and authority to prevent or remedy unsafe or unsound practices or violations of laws by banks and bank holding companies in the performance of their supervisory and enforcement duties. The exercise of regulatory authority may have a negative impact on MPBs results of operations and financial condition.
Like other bank holding companies and financial institutions, MPB must comply with significant anti-money laundering and anti-terrorism laws. Under these laws, MPB is required, among other things, to enforce a customer identification program and file currency transaction and suspicious activity reports with the federal government. Government agencies have substantial discretion to impose significant monetary penalties on institutions, which fail to comply with these laws or make required reports.

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
There have been no material changes in MPBs internal control over financial reporting during the fourth quarter of 2007 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, MPBs internal control over financial reporting.
Mid Penn Bancorp, Inc. Management Report on Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a and 15(d) 15(f) under the Exchange Act of 1934 (1934 Act). The corporations internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that pertain to the corporations ability to record, process, summarize, and report reliable financial data. All internal control systems have inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of internal control. Accordingly, even effective internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Further, because of changes in conditions, the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting may vary over time.
In order to ensure that the corporations internal control over financial reporting is effective, management regularly assesses such controls and did so most recently for its financial reporting as of December 31, 2007. This assessment was based on criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting described in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Management has concluded that MPBs internal control over financial reporting, as of December 31, 2007, is effective based on the criteria set forth by COSO in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework .
Parente Randolph, LLC, independent registered public accounting firm that audited MPBs financial statements, has issued an audit report on the effectiveness of the corporations internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED
PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Directors and Stockholders
Mid Penn Bancorp, Inc.:
We have audited Mid Penn Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries (collectively, the Corporation) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Corporations management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Corporations internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risks. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A companys internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A companys internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, Mid Penn Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
23
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet and related consolidated statements of income, stockholders equity, and cash flows of Mid Penn Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries and our report dated February 29, 2008 expressed an unqualified opinion.

Article 1
CORPORATION OFFICE
Section 1.1 The Corporation shall have and continuously maintain in Pennsylvania a registered office which may, but need not, be the same as its place of business and at an address to be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors.
Section 1.2 The Corporation may also have offices at such other places as the Board of Directors may from time to time designated or the business of the Corporation may require.
Article 2
SHAREHOLDERS MEETINGS
Section 2.1 All meetings of the shareholders shall be held at such time and place as may be fixed from time to time by the Board of Directors.
Section 2.2 The annual meeting of the shareholders shall be held no later than the thirty-first day of May in each year, when the shareholders shall elect members to the Board of Directors and transact such other business as may properly be brought before the meeting.
Section 2.3 Special meetings of the shareholders may be called at any time by the Chairman of the Board, the President, a majority of the Board of Directors or of its Executive Committee or by shareholders entitled to cast at least twenty percent (20%) of the votes which all shareholders are entitled to cast at a particular meeting. At any time, upon written request of any person who has called a special meeting, it shall be the duty of the Secretary to fix the time of the meeting which, if the meting is called pursuant to a statutory right, shall be held not more than sixty (60) days after the receipt of the request. If the Secretary neglects or refuses to fix the time of the meeting, the person or persons calling the meeting may do so.
Section 2.4 Written notice of all shareholder meetings (other than adjourned meetings of shareholders), shall state the place, date, hour, the purpose thereof and shall be served upon, or mailed, postage prepaid, or telegraphed, charges prepaid, at least ten days before such meeting, unless a greater period of notice is required by statute or by these By-laws, to each shareholder entitled to vote thereat at such address as appears on the transfer books for shares of the Corporation.
Section 2.5 When a meeting of shareholders is adjourned, it shall not be necessary to give any notice of the adjourned meeting or of the business to be transacted at an adjourned meeting, other than by announcement at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken, unless the Board of Directors fixes a new record date for the adjourned meeting.
Article 3
QUORUM OF SHAREHOLDERS
Section 3.1 The presence, in person or by proxy, of shareholders entitled to cast on the particular matter shall constitute a quorum for purposes of considering such matter, and unless otherwise provided by statute the acts of such shareholders at a duly organized meeting shall be the acts of the shareholders. If, however, any meeting of shareholders cannot be organized because of lack of a quorum, those present, in person or by proxy, shall have the power, except as otherwise provided by statute, to adjourn the meeting to such time and place as they may determine, without notice other than an announcement at the meeting, until the requisite number of shareholders for a quorum shall be present, in person or by proxy, except that in the case of any meeting called for the election of directors such meeting may be adjourned only for periods not exceeding fifteen (15) days as the holders of a majority of the shares present, in person or by proxy, shall direct, and those who attend the second of such adjourned meetings, although less than a quorum, shall nevertheless constitute a quorum for the purpose of electing directors. At any adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or so represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the original meeting if a quorum had been present. The shareholders present, in person or by proxy, at a duly organized meeting can continue to do business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough shareholders to leave less than a quorum.
Article 4
VOTING RIGHTS
Section 4.1 Except as may be otherwise provided by statute or by the Articles of Incorporation, at every shareholders meeting, every shareholder entitled to vote thereat shall have the right to one vote for every share having voting power standing in such shareholders name on the transfer books for shares of the Corporation on the record date fixed for the meeting.
Section 4.2 When a quorum is present at any meeting the voice vote of the holders of a majority of the stock having voting power, present, in person or by proxy, shall decide any question brought before such meeting except as provided differently by statute or by the Articles of Incorporation.
Section 4.3 Upon demand made by a shareholder entitled to vote at any election for directors before the voting begins, the election shall be by ballot.

A proxy, unless coupled with an interest, shall be revocable at will, notwithstanding any other agreement or any provision in the proxy to the contrary, but the revocation of a proxy shall not be effective until notice thereof has been given to the Secretary of the Corporation. No unrevoked proxy shall be valid after eleven (11) months from the date of its execution, unless a longer time is expressly provided therein, but in no event shall a proxy, unless coupled with an interest, be voted after three years from the date of its execution. A proxy shall not be revoked by the death or incapacity of the maker, unless before the vote is counted or the authority is exercised, written notice of such death or incapacity is given to the Secretary of the Corporation.
Article 6
RECORD DATE
Section 6.1 The Board of Directors may fix a time, not more than ninety (90) days prior to the date of any meeting of shareholders, or the date fixed for the payment of any dividend or distribution, or the date for the allotment of rights, or the date when any change or conversion or exchange of shares will be made or go into effect, as a record date for the determination of the shareholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, any such meeting, or entitled to receive payment of any such dividend or distribution, or to receive any such allotment of rights, or to exercise the rights in respect to any such change, conversion or exchange of shares. In such case, only such shareholders as shall be shareholders of record on the date so fixed shall be entitled to notice of, or to vote at, such meeting or to receive payment of such dividend or distribution or to receive such allotment of rights or to exercise such rights, as the case may be, notwithstanding any transfer of any shares on the transfer books for shares of the Corporation after any record date fixed as aforesaid. The Board of Directors may close the books of the Corporation against transfers of shares during the whole or any part of such period, and in such case written or printed notice thereof shall be mailed at least ten (10) days before closing thereof to each shareholder of record at the address appearing on the records of the Corporation or supplied by such shareholder to the Corporation for the purpose of notice. While the stock transfer books of the Corporation are closed, no transfer of shares shall be made thereon. If no record date is fixed by the Board of Directors for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive notice of, and vote at, a shareholders meeting, transferees of shares which are transferred on the books of the Corporation within ten (10) days next preceding the date of such meeting shall not be entitled to notice of or to vote at such meeting.
Article 7
VOTING LISTS
Section 7.1 The Secretary shall have charge of the transfer books for shares of the Corporation and shall make a complete list of the shareholders entitled to vote at any meeting of shareholders, arranged in alphabetical order, with their addresses and number of shares held by each, which list shall be kept on file at the registered office or principal place of business of the Corporation. The list shall be produced and kept open at the time and place of the meeting and shall be subject to the inspection of any shareholder during the entire meeting for the purposes thereof.
Section 7.2 Failure to comply with the requirements of Section 7.1 shall not affect the validity of any action taken at a meeting prior to a demand at the meeting by any shareholder entitled to vote thereat to examine the list. The original share register or transfer book, or a duplicate thereof kept in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania shall be prima facie evidence as to who are the shareholders entitled to exercise the rights of a shareholder.
Article 8
JUDGES OF ELECTION
Section 8.1 In advance of any meeting of shareholders, the Board of Directors may appoint judges of election, who need not be shareholders, to act at such meeting or any adjournment thereof. If judges of election are not so appointed, the presiding officer of the meeting may, and on the request of any shareholder, or such shareholders proxy, appoint judges of election at the meeting. The number of judges shall be one or three. If appointed at a meting on the request of one or more shareholders or proxies, the majority of shares present and entitled to vote shall determine whether one or three judges are to be appointed. A person who is a candidate for office to be filled at the meeting shall not act as a judge.
Section 8.2 In case any person appointed as a judge fails to appear or fails or refuses to act, the vacancy may be filled by appointment made by the Board of Directors in advance of the convening of the meeting or at the meeting by the presiding officer thereof.
Section 8.3 The judges of election shall determine the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each, the shares represented at the meeting, the existence of a quorum, the authenticity, validity and effect of proxies, receive votes or ballots, hear and determine all challenges and questions in any way arising in connection with the right to vote, county and tabulate all votes, determine the result and do such acts as may be proper to conduct the election or vote with fairness to all shareholders. The judges of election shall perform their duties impartially, in good faith, to the best of their ability and as expeditiously as is practical. If there are three judges of election, the decision, act or certificate of a majority shall be effective in all respects as the decision, act or certificate of all.
Section 8.4 On request of the presiding officer of the meeting, or of any shareholder, the judges of election shall make a report in writing of any challenge or question or matter determined by them, and execute a certificate of any fact found by them. Any report or certificate made by them shall be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.
Article 9
CONSENT OF SHAREHOLDERS IN LIEU OF MEETING
Section 9.1 Any action required to be taken at a meeting of the shareholders, or of a class of shareholders, may be taken without a meeting, if a consent or consents in writing setting forth the action so taken shall be signed by all of the shareholders who would be entitled to vote at a meeting for such purpose and shall file with the Secretary of the Corporation.
Article 10
DIRECTORS
Section 10.1 Any shareholder who intends to nominate or to cause to have nominated any candidate for election to the Board of Directors (other than any candidate proposed by the Corporations then existing Board of Directors) shall so notify the Secretary of the Corporation in writing not less than sixty (60) days prior to the date of any meeting of shareholders called for the election of directors. Such notification shall contain the following information to the extent known by the notifying shareholder.
(a) the name and address of each proposed nominee;
(b) the age of each proposed nominee;
(c) the principal occupation of each proposed nominee;
(d) the number of shares of the Corporation owned by each proposed nominee;
(e) the total number of shares that to the knowledge of the notifying shareholder will be voted for each proposed nominee;
(f) the name and residence address of the notifying shareholder; and
(g) the number of shares of the Corporation owned by the notifying shareholder.
Any nomination for director not made in accordance with this Section shall be disregarded by the presiding officer of the meeting, and votes cast for each such nominee shall be disregarded by the judges of election. In the event that the same person is nominated by more than one shareholder, if at least one nomination for such person complies with this Section, the nomination shall be honored and all votes cast for such nominee shall be counted.
Section 10.2 The number of directors that shall constitute the whole Board of Directors shall be not less than five (5), nor more than twenty-five (25). The Board of Directors shall be classified into three (3) classes, each class to be elected for a term of three (3) years. The terms of the respective classes shall expire in successive years as provided in Section 10.3 hereof. Within the foregoing limits, the Board of Directors may from time to time fix the number of directors and their respective classifications.
Section 10.3 At the 1992 annual meeting of shareholders of the Corporation, the shareholders shall elect eleven (11) directors as follows: four (4) Class A directors to serve until the 1993 annual meeting of Shareholders, four (4) Class B directors to serve until the 1994 annual meeting of shareholders, and three (3) Class C directors to serve until the 1995 annual meeting of shareholders. Each class shall be elected in a separate election. At each annual meeting of shareholders thereafter, successors to the class of directors whose term shall then expire shall be elected to hold office for a term of three (3) years, so that the term of office of one class of directors shall expire in each year. The Board of Directors shall have the sole discretion to increase the number of Directors that shall constitute the whole Board of directors; provided however, that the total number of Directors in each class remains relatively proportionate to the others.
Section 10.4 The Board of Directors may declare vacant the office of a director who has been judicially declared of unsound mind or who has been convicted of an offense punishable by imprisonment for a term of more than one year or for any other proper cause which these By-laws may specify or if, within sixty (60) days or such other time as these By-laws may specify after notice of such directors selection, he does not accept the office either in writing or by attending a meeting of the Board of Directors and fulfill such other requirements of qualification as these By-laws may specify.
Section 10.5 Upon application of any shareholder or director, the court may remove from office any director in case of fraudulent or dishonest acts, or gross abuse of authority or discretion with reference to the Corporation, or for any other proper cause, and may bar from office any director so removed for a period prescribed by the court. The Corporation shall be made a party to the action and, as a prerequisite to the maintenance of an action under this Section 10.5, a shareholder shall comply with Section 1782 of the Business Corporation Law of 1988, as amended.
Section 10.6 An act of the Board of Directors done during the period when a director has been suspended or removed for cause shall not be impugned or invalidated if the suspension or removal is thereafter rescinded by the shareholders or by the Board of Directors or by the final judgment of a court.
Section 10.7 The Board of Directors may appoint a person who previously held the position of Director to be a Director Emeritus. A Director Emeritus may attend meetings of the Board of Directors and shall have such other rights and privileges as may be determined from time to time by resolution of the Board of Directors.
Article 11
VACANCIES ON BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Article 11.1 Vacancies on the Board of Directors, including vacancies resulting from an increase in the number of directors, shall be filled by a majority of the remaining members of the Board of Directors, though less than a quorum, and each person so appointed shall be a director until the expiration of the term of office of the class of directors to which such director was appointed.
Article 12
POWERS OF BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Section 12.1 The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by its Board of Directors, which may exercise all such powers of the Corporation and do all such lawful acts and things as are not by statute or by the Articles of Incorporation or by these By-laws directed or required to be exercised and done by the shareholders.
Section 12.2 The Board of Directors shall have the power and authority to appoint an Executive Committee and such other committees as may be deemed necessary by the Board of Directors for the efficient operation of the Corporation. The Executive Committee shall consist of the Chairman of the Board, the President and not less than two 92) nor more than five (5) other directors (one of which other directors may be an employee of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries). The Executive Committee shall meet at such time as may be fixed by the Board of Directors, or upon call of the Chairman of the Board or the President. A majority of members of the Executive Committee shall constitute a quorum. The Executive Committee shall have an exercise and authority of the Board of Directors in the intervals between the meetings of the Board of Directors as far as may be permitted by law.
Section 12.3 A director shall stand in a fiduciary relation to the Corporation and shall perform such directors duties as a director, including those duties undertaken as a member of any committee of the Board of Directors upon which such director may serve, in good faith, in a manner such director reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the Corporation and with such care, including reasonable inquiry, skill and diligence, as a person of ordinary prudence would use under similar circumstances. In performing duties as a director, a director shall be entitled to rely in good faith on information, opinions, reports or statements, including financial statements and other financial data, in each case prepared or presented by any of the following:
(a) One or more officers or employees of the Corporation whom the director reasonably believes to be reliable and competent in the matters presented.
(b) Counsel, public accountants or other persons as to matters which the director reasonably believes to be within the professional or expert competence of such persons.
(c) A committee of the Board of Directors upon which such director does not serve, duly designated in accordance with law, as to matters within its designated authority, which committee the director reasonably believes to merit confidence.
A director shall not be considered to be acting in good faith if such director has knowledge concerning the matter in question that would cause such directors reliance to be unwarranted.
Section 12.4 In discharging the duties of their respective positions, the Board of Directors, committees of the Board of Directors and individual directors may, in considering the best interests of the Corporation, consider the effects of any action upon employees, upon suppliers and customers of the Corporation and upon communities in which offices or other establishments of the Corporation are located, and all other pertinent factors. The consideration of those factors shall not constitute a violation of Section 12.3.
Section 12.5 Absent breach of fiduciary duty, lack of good faith or self-dealing, actions taken as a director or any failure to take any action shall be presumed to be in the best interests of the Corporation.
Section 12.6 A director shall not be personally liable, as such, for monetary damages for any action taken, or any failure to take any action, unless:
(a) the director has breached or failed to perform the duties of such directors office under this Article 12; and
(b) the breach or failure to perform constitutes self-dealing, willful misconduct or recklessness.
Section 12.7 The provisions of Section 12.6 shall not apply to:
(a) the responsibility or liability of a director pursuant to any criminal statute; or
(b) the liability of a director for the payment of taxes pursuant to local, State or Federal law.
Section 12.8 A director of the Corporation who is present at a meeting of the Board of Directors, or of a committee of the Board of Directors, at which action on any corporate matter is taken shall be presumed to have assented to the action taken unless such directors dissent is entered in the minutes of the meeting or unless such director files such directors written dissent to the action with the Secretary of the Corporation before the adjournment thereof or transmits the dissent in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation immediately after the adjournment of the meeting. The right to dissent shall not apply
to a director who voted in favor of the action.

The termination of any action or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement or conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not of itself create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner that he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Corporation and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
Section 24.2 (Derivative Actions) The Corporation shall have power to indemnify any person who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any threatened, pending or completed action by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a representative of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a representative of another domestic or foreign corporation for profit or not-for-profit, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of the action if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Corporation. Indemnification shall not be made under this section in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which the person has been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the court of common pleas of the judicial district embracing the county in which the registered office of the Corporation is located or the court in which the action was brought determines upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for the expenses that the court of common please or other court deems proper.
Section 24.3 (Mandatory Indemnification) To the extent that a representative of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action or proceeding referred to in Sections 24.1 (relating to third party actions) or 24.2 (relating to derivative actions) or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.

(b) Indemnification pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 24.6 shall not be made in any case where the act or failure to act giving rise to the claim for indemnification is determined by a court to have constituted willful misconduct or recklessness.

If the notice is sent by mail, telegraph or courier service, it shall be deemed to have been given to the person entitled thereto when deposited in the United States mail or with a telegraph office or courier service for delivery to that person or, in the case of telex or TWX, when dispatched. A notice of meeting shall specify the place, day and hour of the meeting and any other information required by any other provision of these By-laws.

Exhibit 10.1
PROFIT SHARING RETIREMENT PLAN
Your profit sharing retirement plan is designed to provide you with the opportunity to accumulate funds for your retirement. The plan is desirable because it benefits both you and your employer. Your employer benefits because the employers annual contribution to the plan is tax deductible. You benefit because funds accumulate for you each year but with no income tax due until you actually receive the funds after you retire. While the funds you receive after retirement are taxable, you will no longer be receiving a salary and will most likely be in a lower tax bracket.
1. Plan Administration
Your employer has provided for the formation of a committee of not less than three individuals, known as the Administrative Committee. This committee has all powers necessary to carry out the terms and provisions of your plan. All questions of administration, interpretation and application of the plan are handled by the Administrative Committee.
2. Eligibility to Participate in Plan
You become a participant in the plan on the first day of the month following completion of one year of service. In order to complete a year of service, you must accumulate at least one thousand (1,000) hours of employment in that twelve month period beginning on the first day of your employment. If you fail to accumulate one thousand (1,000) hours in the twelve month period beginning with the first day of employment you are not eligible to participate in the plan. The twelve month eligibility computation period then shifts to the plan year, January 1 to December 31. You have a chance to accumulate one thousand (1,000) hours in the twelve month period which begins on January 1 which follows your first day of employment and additional chances in each succeeding year beginning on January 1. If you are a full-time employee, you should have no trouble accumulating at least one thousand (1,000) hours in a years time. If you are a part-time employee, you may or may not accumulate one thousand (1,000) hours in twelve months. An example when an employee becomes eligible is as follows:
Date of Employment |
Hours of Employment |
Years of Service |
Date of Eligibility |
|||
June 5, 2000 |
999 or fewer | No | Not Eligible | |||
June 5, 2000 |
1000 or more | Yes | July 1, 2001 | |||
December 1, 2000 |
1000 or more | Yes | January 1, 2002 |
If you fail to accumulate one thousand (1,000) hours of service in the initial computation period, but do accumulate one thousand (1,000) hours of service in a later plan year, (for example, 2001), you become eligible the following January 1 (January 1, 2002).
3. Rehiring of Terminated Participants
If you quit your job and are not fully vested (that is you do not have sufficient years of service to be entitled to 100% of your accumulated fund balance), the portion of your fund balance which
is not vested is placed in a suspense account and remains in the suspense account until you incur a break in service. Once you have incurred a break in service, the funds in the suspense account are allocated to the remaining plan participants and you cannot recover these funds.
It is possible that sometime after you quit your job, you will be rehired. If you are rehired before you incur a one-year break in service, the portion of your fund balance that was not vested and was placed in the suspense account will be returned to your account. You will immediately go back into the plan and your vesting will continue as though you had never quit. If you are rehired after you incur a one-year break in service, you will immediately go back into the plan and your vesting will continue as though you had never quit. However, you cannot recover any non-vested portion of your fund balance which you forfeited when you incurred the break in service. You are permitted to repay the vested portion of your fund balance (which you received when you quit) to the plan.
4. Plan Contributions
To be eligible for a share of your employers contributions, you must be a plan participant, you must accumulate at least one thousand (1,000) hours of service during the plan year, and you must still be employed at the end of the year, December 31. (If you retire, are disabled, or die during the year, you or your beneficiary is still eligible for a share of the contribution.)
The amount your employer may contribute to your retirement trust fund is contingent upon current or accumulated profits and the deduction for the contribution is limited by law to no more than 15% of the total eligible W-2 wages of the eligible plan participants. Keep in mind that if you become eligible to participate in the plan during the year, your eligible salary upon which the contribution is based is limited to what you earn from the date you become a plan participant until the end of the year. If for example you were hired October 17, 2000, you would become eligible to participate in the plan on November 1, 2001. You would receive no contribution for 2000. Your contribution for 2001 would be based on no more than 15% of your salary earned from November 1 to December 31, 2001. Salary shall mean the participants annual base salary and shall not include bonus, commissions, or other forms of earnings unless specifically approved by the Administrative Committee and applied in a non-discriminatory manner.

Any distribution made after December 31, 1992, that qualifies as an eligible rollover distribution is subject to mandatory 20% withholding. No withholding is required however, if the participant elects a trustee-to-trustee transfer. The plan administrator will provide written guidance to participants who are to receive distributions in reasonable time to enable the participants to elect a trustee-to-trustee transfer.
6. Claims and Claim Reviews
You or your beneficiary have the right to file a claim for benefits under the plan if for any reason you or your beneficiary have been denied a benefit, or feel aggrieved by any other action of the
employer or Administrative Committee. Claims are to be filed on forms supplied by the employer. You must receive written notice of the disposition of the claim within thirty (30) days of filing your claim. If the claim is denied, the reasons for the denial shall be specifically set forth and pertinent provisions of the plan cited. If you wish to further pursue your claim, you can request a hearing in writing on forms supplied by the employer. The request for a hearing must be made within ninety (90) days of the original disposition of your claim. The employer then must schedule a hearing within the next thirty (30) days after receiving your request. The decision following such hearing must be communicated in writing to you within thirty (30) days of the hearing.
7. Trust Fund Investments
Your employer has appointed the Trust Department of the Bank to administer the Trust Fund where the assets of the plan are held. The Trust Fund consists of two investment funds designated as Fund A and Fund B.
Fund A is a mixed fund consisting mostly of CDs, stocks, bonds and mortgages of good quality. The investment objective is to provide growth potential along with income.
Fund B is a fund consisting of investments in which the principal will be guaranteed by the Federal government or one of its agencies. The investment objective is to provide complete protection of principal along with interest income.
Your contributions will be invested in fund A until you reach age 50 at which time you will have the option of transferring your balance, the first year after attaining age 50 or any subsequent year prior to retirement, to Fund B. Once the option is elected, all future allocations will be made to Fund B. This election to transfer was adopted in order to provide complete protection of your trust fund balance during your final years of employment before retirement. The election must be in writing to the Administrative Committee.
When you become eligible to participate in the Profit Sharing Retirement Plan, you should contact the Trust Officer of the Bank and complete the Beneficiary form. At that time, you will receive a copy of the SUMMARY PLAN DESCRIPTION of the Profit Sharing Plan.
Exhibit 10.2
EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN
The Mid Penn Bank wishes to recognize the efforts its employees have made to its success and to reward them by adopting an Employee Stock Ownership Plan. This Plan will be for the exclusive benefit of eligible employees and their beneficiaries.
The purpose of this Plan is to reward eligible employees for long and loyal service by providing them with retirements benefits.
Between now and your retirement, your Employer intends to make contributions for you and other eligible employees. Contributions to the Plan will be invested primarily in Company Stock. Your efforts added to the efforts of all other employees contribute to the profitability and growth of the Employer and thereby increase the value of Company Stock and your benefits in the Plan. When you retire, you will be entitled to receive the value of the amounts which have been accumulated in your account in the form of Company Stock.
I. Participation In Your Plan
Before you become a member or a participant in the Plan, there are certain eligibility and participation rules which you must meet.
A. Eligibility Requirements
You will be eligible to participate in the Plan if you have completed one (1) Year of Service. Year of Service is defined on page EB 29.
B. Participation Requirements
You will become a participant on the first day of the month coinciding with or following the date you satisfy the eligibility requirements.
II. Contributions To Your Plan
Each year, your Employers contribution, if any, will be placed into a trust fund for the benefit of the Plan participants. The Administrator of your Plan will then establish and maintain a separate account for you and all other participants, into which the contributions will be placed.
Your employer will determine the amount to contribute to your Plan. This contribution is discretionary.
You must complete a Year of Service during the Plan Year and be actively employed on the last day of the Plan Year to share in this contribution.
Your employers contribution will be allocated or divided among participants eligible to share in the contribution for the Plan Year. Your share of the contribution will depend upon how much compensation you received during the year and the compensation received by other eligible participants.
A. Compensation
For the purposes of your Plan, compensation is defined as your total compensation that is subject to income tax, that is, all of your compensation paid to you by your employer during the year, but excluding commissions, bonuses, and salary reduction contributions to any plan or arrangement maintained by your Employer.
B. Forfeitures
Forfeitures are created when participants terminate employment before becoming entitled to their full benefits under the Plan. Forfeitures will be allocated or divided among participants eligible to share for a Plan Year.
C. Transfers From Qualified Plans (Rollovers)
At the discretion of the Administrator, you may be permitted to deposit into your Plan distributions you have received from other plans. Your rollover will be placed in a separate account called a participants rollover account. You will always be 100% vested in your rollover account.
D. Directed Investments
When you have completed ten (10) years of service as a participant and have attained age fifty-five, you will have the right to direct the investment of a portion of your account attributable to Company Stock.
III. Benefits Under Your Plan
A. Distribution Of Benefits Upon Normal Retirement
Your normal Retirement Date is the Anniversary Date coinciding with or next following your Normal Retirement Age. Your Normal Retirement Age is attained at age 65.
At your Normal Retirement Age, you will be entitled to 100% of your account balance. Payment of your benefits will, at your election, begin as soon as practicable following your actual retirement but not prior to your Normal Retirement Date.
B. Distribution of Benefits Upon Death
Your beneficiary will be entitled to 100% of your account balance upon your death.
C. Distribution of Benefits Upon Disability
Under your Plan, disability is defined as a physical or mental condition resulting from bodily injury, disease, or mental disorder which renders you incapable of continuing your usual and customary employment with your Employer. Your disability will be determined by a licensed physician chosen by the Administrator.
If you become disabled while a participant, you will be entitled to 100% of your account balance. Payment of your disability benefits will be made to you as if you had retired.
D. Distribution Of Benefits Upon Termination Of Employment
Your Plan is designed to encourage you to stay with your Employer until retirement. Payment of your account balance under your Plan is only available upon your Death, Disability or Retirement.
If your employment terminates for reasons other than those listed above, you will be entitled to receive only your vested percentage of your account balance and the remainder of your account will be forfeited.
E. Vesting in Your Plan
Your vested percentage in your account is determined under the following schedule and is based on vesting Years Of Service.
Vesting Schedule

Percentage | ||
Less than 3 |
0 | % | |

20 | % | |
4 |
40 | % | |
5 |
60 | % | |
6 |
80 | % | |
7 |
100 | % |
F. Benefit Payment Options
The Administrator, in accordance with your election, will direct the Trustee to pay our benefits to you under one or more of the following options:
1. A single lump-sum payment
2. Installments over a period not extending beyond the earlier of your assumed life expectancy determined at the time of distribution.
Distribution of your account at retirement will be in the form of cash or Company Stock or both.
G. Treatment Of Distributions From Your Plan
Whenever you receive a distribution from your Plan, it will normally be subject to income taxes. You may; however, reduce, or defer entirely, the tax due on your distribution through use of one of the following methods:
1. The rollover of all or a portion of the distribution to an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) or another qualified employer plan. This will result in no tax being due until you begin withdrawing funds from the IRA or other qualified employer plan.
2. You may request for most distributions that a direct transfer of all or a portion of your distribution amount be made to either an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) or another qualified employer plan willing to accept the transfer. If you elect to actually receive the distribution rather than request a direct transfer, then in most cases 20% of the distribution amount will be withheld for federal income tax purposes.
IV. Service Rules
A. Year of Service
You will have completed a Year of Service if, at the end of your first twelve consecutive months of employment with your Employer, you have been credited with 1000 Hours of Service.
If you have not been credited with 1000 Hours of Service by the end of your first twelve consecutive months of employment, you will have completed a Year of Service at the end of any following Plan Year during which you were credited with 1000 Hours of Service.
You will have completed a Year of Service for vesting purposes if you are credited with 1000 Hours of Service during a Plan Year, even if you were not employed the first or last day of the Plan Year.
V. Amendment And Termination Of Your Plan
A. Amendment
Your employer has the right to amend your Plan at any time. In no event; however, will any amendment authorize or permit any part of the Plan assets to be used for purposes other than the exclusive benefit of participants or their beneficiaries or cause any reduction in the amount credited to your account.
B. Termination
Your employer has the right to terminate the Plan at any time. Upon termination, all amounts credited to your accounts will become 100% vested. A complete discontinuance of contributions by your Employer will constitute a termination.

The Corporations management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Mid Penn Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2007 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of the Corporations internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated February 29, 2008 expressed an unqualified opinion.

All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
(2) | Nature of Business |

Mid Penn Insurance Services, LLC provides a range of personal and investment insurance products.
(3) | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
The accounting and reporting policies of MPB conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and to general practice within the financial industry. The following is a description of the more significant accounting policies.
(a) | Use of Estimates |
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
A material estimate that is particularly susceptible to significant change relates to the determination of the allowance for loan and lease losses.
While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans and leases, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in local economic conditions. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Banks allowance for loan and lease losses. Such agencies may require the Bank to recognize changes to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination. Because of these factors, it is reasonably possible that the allowance for loan and lease losses may change materially in the near term.
(b) | Investment Securities |
Available-for-Sale Securities - includes debt and restricted equity securities. Debt securities are reported at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported, net of deferred income taxes, as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within stockholders equity. Realized gains and losses on sales of investment securities are computed on the basis of specific identification of the cost of each security. Restricted equity securities are generally carried at cost due to the lack of available market data, and are evaluated for impairment. MPB had no trading securities or held-to-maturity securities in 2007 or 2006.
(c) | Loans |
Interest on loans is recognized on a method which approximates a level yield basis over the life of the loans. The accrual of interest on loans, including impaired loans, is generally discontinued when principal or interest has consistently been in default for a period of 90 days or more, or because of a deterioration in the financial condition of the borrower, payment in full of principal or interest is not expected. Interest income is subsequently recognized only to the extent cash payments are received. The placement of a loan on the nonaccrual basis for revenue recognition does not necessarily imply a potential charge-off of loan principal. Loan origination fees and certain direct origination costs are capitalized and recognized as an adjustment of the yield on the related loan.
(d) | Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses |
The Banks methodology for determining the allowance for loan and lease losses establishes both a specific and a general component. The specific portion of the allowance represents the results of analysis of leases and individual watch list loans (commercial, residential and consumer loans). The individual commercial loans are risk rated with specific attention to estimated loss exposure. Historical loan loss rates are applied to problem consumer credits, adjusted to reflect current conditions.
Specific regular reviews of credits exceeding $500,000 are performed to monitor the major portfolio risk. The Bank analyzes all commercial loans in excess of $10,000 that are rated as watch list credits. Potential credit problems are monitored to determine whether specific loans are impaired, with impairment normally measured by reference to borrowers collateral values and estimated cash flows.
The general portion of the allowance for loan and lease losses represents the results of measuring potential losses inherent in the portfolio that are not identified in the specific allowance analysis. This general portion is determined using historical loan and lease loss experience adjusted by assessing changes in the Banks underwriting criteria, growth and/or changes in the mix of loans originated, industry concentrations and evaluations, lending management changes, comparisons of certain factors to peer group banks and changes in economic conditions.

MID PENN BANCORP, INC. | NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
Management believes the allowance for loan and lease losses is adequate. Identification of specific losses is an ongoing process using available information. Specifically, quarterly management meetings to review problem loans and leases are utilized to determine a plan for collection and, if necessary, a recommendation to the Board for charge off. Future additions to the allowance for loan and lease losses through a provision for loan and lease losses will be made based on identified changes in the above factors coupled with loss experience.
Various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Banks allowance for loan and lease losses. These agencies may require the Bank to recognize changes to the allowance based on their judgment about information available to them at the time of their examinations.
(e) | Bank Premises and Equipment |
Bank premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred, while major additions and improvements are capitalized. Gains and losses on disposals are reflected in current operations.
(f) | Foreclosed Assets Held for Sale |
Foreclosed assets held for sale consist primarily of real estate acquired through, or in lieu of, foreclosure in settlement of debt and are recorded at fair value at the date of transfer. Any valuation adjustments required at the date of transfer are charged to the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent to acquisition, foreclosed assets are carried at the lower of cost or fair value less costs of disposal, based upon periodic evaluations that consider changes in market conditions and development and disposal costs. Operating results from assets acquired in satisfaction of debt, including rental income less operating costs and gains or losses on the sale of, or the periodic evaluation of foreclosed assets, are recorded in noninterest expense.
(g) | Income Taxes |
Certain items of income and expense are recognized in different accounting periods for financial reporting purposes than for income tax purposes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are provided in recognition of these temporary differences at currently enacted income tax rates. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes.
(h) | Core Deposit Intangible |
Core deposit intangible is a measure of the value of consumer demand and savings deposits acquired in business combinations accounted for as purchases. The core deposit intangible is being amortized over an 8 year life on a straight-line basis. The core deposit intangible is subject to impairment testing whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate its carrying amount may not be recoverable.
(i) | Goodwill |
Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired in connection with 2004 and 2006 business acquisitions accounted for as purchases. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, requires a two-step process for testing the impairment of goodwill on at least an annual basis. No impairment of goodwill was recognized in 2007, 2006 or 2005.
(j) | Marketing and Advertising Costs |
Marketing and advertising costs are expensed as incurred and were $403,000 in 2007, $255,000 in 2006, and $298,000 in 2005.
(k) | Postretirement Benefit Plans |
MPB has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 132 (revised 2003), Employers Disclosures about Postretirement Benefits (Revised SFAS No. 132). Revised SFAS No. 132 requires additional disclosures about defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement defined benefit plans. It does not change the measurement or recognition of those plans.
(l) | Other Benefit Plan |
A funded contributory defined-contribution plan is maintained for substantially all employees. The cost of the MPB defined contribution plan is charged to current operating expenses and is funded annually.
(m) | Trust Assets and Income |
Assets held by the Bank in a fiduciary or agency capacity for customers of the Trust Department are not included in the consolidated financial statements since such items are not assets of the Bank. Trust income is recognized on the cash basis which is not materially different than if it were reported on the accrual basis.
(n) | Earnings Per Share |
Earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each of the years presented giving retroactive effect to stock dividends and stock splits. MPBs basic and diluted earnings per share are the same since there are no potentially dilutive securities outstanding.
(o) | Statement of Cash Flows |
For purposes of cash flows, MPB considers cash and due from banks to be cash equivalents.
(p) | Reclassifications |
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current years classifications.

Estimated fair values of debt securities are based on quoted market prices, where applicable. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments, adjusted for differences between the quoted instruments and the instruments being valued.
Restricted equity securities consist of stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh and Atlantic Central Bankers Bank which do not have a readily determinable fair value because their ownership is restricted and they lack a market. Also included in restricted equity securities is an investment in Access Capital Strategies, an equity fund that invests in low to moderate income financing projects. This investment was purchased in 2004 to help fulfill the Banks regulatory requirement of the Community Reinvestment Act and at December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2007, is reported at fair value.

MID PENN BANCORP, INC. | NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
Investment securities having a fair value of $38,771,000 at December 31, 2007 and $44,913,000 at December 31, 2006, were pledged to secure public deposits and other borrowings.
Gains from sales of investment securities amounted to $33,000 in 2006 and $1,000 in 2005. The proceeds from sales of investment securities were $1,923,000 in 2006 and $535,000 in 2005. There were no sales of investment securities in 2007.
The following table presents gross unrealized losses and fair value of investments aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position at December 31, 2007 and 2006.
Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis; and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. Consideration is given to (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of MPB to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.
At December 31, 2007, the 19 debt securities with unrealized losses have depreciated 0.95% from its amortized cost basis. These securities are issued by either the U.S. Government or other governmental agencies. These unrealized losses relate principally to current interest rates for similar types of securities. In analyzing an issuer's financial condition, management considers whether the securities are issued by the federal government or its agencies, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, and the results of reviews of the issuer's financial condition. As management has the ability to hold debt securities until maturity, or for the foreseeable future if classified as available-for-sale, no declines are deemed to be other-than-temporary.

(13) | Postretirement Benefit Plans |
MPB has an unfunded noncontributory defined benefit plan for directors. The plan provides defined benefits based on years of service.
MPB also has other postretirement benefit plans covering full-time employees. These health care and life insurance plans are noncontributory.
The significant aspects of each plan are as follows:
(a) | Health Insurance |
For full-time employees who retire after at least 20 years of service, MPB will pay premiums for major medical insurance (as provided to active employees) for a period ending on the earlier of the date the participant obtains other employment where major medical coverage is available or the date of the participants death; however, in all cases payment of medical premiums by MPB will not exceed five years. If the retiree becomes eligible for Medicare within the five year period beginning on his/her retirement date, the Bank may pay, at its discretion, premiums for 65 Special coverage or a similar supplemental coverage. After the five year period has expired, all MPB paid benefits cease; however, the retiree may continue coverage through the Bank at his/her own expense.
15
MID PENN BANCORP, INC. | NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
(b) | Life Insurance |
For full-time employees who retire after at least 20 years of service, MPB will provide term life insurance. The amount of coverage prior to age 65 will be three times the participant's annual salary at retirement or $50,000, whichever is less. After age 65, the life insurance coverage amount will decrease by 10% per year, subject to a minimum amount of $2,000.
(c) | Directors Retirement Plan |
MPB has an unfunded defined benefit retirement plan for directors with benefits based on years of service. The adoption of this plan generated unrecognized prior service cost of $274,000, which is being amortized based on the expected

(c) | Salary Continuation Agreement |
The Bank maintains a Salary Continuation Agreement (Agreement) for an executive officer. The Agreement provides the executive officer with a fixed annual benefit. The benefit is payable beginning at age 65 for a period of 15 years. If the executive officer terminates employment before the normal retirement date for reasons other than death, the annual benefit payable will be based on the vesting schedule as defined in the Agreement. Upon death or a change in control of the Bank, the executive officer or his beneficiary is entitled to the full fixed annual benefits. At December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Bank has accrued a liability of approximately $261,000 and $232,000, respectively, for the Agreement.
The expense related to the Agreement was $29,000 for 2007, $37,000 for 2006 and $34,000 for 2005.
The Bank is the owner and beneficiary of an insurance policy on the life of the participating executive officer which informally funds the benefit obligation. The aggregate cash surrender value of this policy was approximately $964,000 and $930,000 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Total expense related to MPBs contribution to the ESOP for 2007, 2006 and 2005 was $79,000, $94,000 and $139,000, respectively. The ESOP held 45,193 and 40,461 shares of MPB stock as of December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively, all of which were allocated to plan participants. Shares held by the ESOP are considered outstanding for purposes of calculating earnings per share. Dividends paid on shares held by the ESOP are charged to retained earnings.
(e) | Other |
At December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Bank had Split Dollar Life Insurance arrangements with one existing and one former executive for which the aggregate collateral assignment and cash surrender values are approximately $1,608,000 and $1,550,000, respectively.

The estimated amortization expense of intangible assets for each of the five succeeding fiscal years is $65,000 per year.
(18) | Regulatory Matters |
The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal and state banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Banks financial statements. The regulations require the Bank to meet specific capital adequacy guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Banks assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Banks capital classification is also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to total average assets (as defined), and minimum ratios of Tier I and total capital (as defined) to risk-weighted assets (as defined). To be considered adequately capitalized (as defined) under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must maintain minimum Tier I leverage, Tier I risk-based and total risk-based ratios as set forth in the table. The Banks actual capital amounts and ratios are also presented in the table.

(19) | Concentration of Risk and Off-Balance Sheet Risk |
The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and financial standby letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets.
The Bank evaluates each customers creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit, is based on managements credit evaluation of the borrower. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant, and equipment, and income-producing commercial properties. The Banks exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and financial standby letters of credit written is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for direct, funded loans.
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.
Financial standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The term of these financial standby letters of credit is generally one year or less.
As of December 31, 2007, commitments to extend credit amounted to $88,148,000 and financial standby letters of credit amounted to $11,480,000.
Significant concentration of credit risk may occur when obligations of the same parties engaged in similar activities occur and accumulate in significant amounts.
In analyzing the Banks exposure to significant concentration of credit risk, management set a parameter of 10% or more of the Banks total net loans outstanding as the threshold in determining whether the obligations of the same or affiliated parties would be classified as significant concentration of credit risk. Concentrations by industry, product line, type of collateral, etc., are also considered. U.S. Treasury securities, obligations of U.S. government agencies and corporations, and any assets collateralized by the same were excluded.
As of December 31, 2007, commercial real estate financing was the only similar activity that met the requirements to be classified as a significant concentration of credit risk. However, there is a geographical concentration in that most of the Banks business activity is with customers located in Central Pennsylvania, specifically within the Banks trading area made up of Dauphin County, lower Northumberland County, western Schuylkill County and Hampden Township in Cumberland County.
The Banks highest concentrations of credit are in the areas of apartment building financing and hotel/motel lodging financings. Outstanding credit to these sectors amounted to $34,839,000 or 9.3% and $30,634,000 or 8.2%, respectively, of net loans outstanding as of December 31, 2007.

(22) | Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
SFAS No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, requires disclosures of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the consolidated balance sheet, for which it is practical to estimate that value. In cases where quoted market values are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets, and in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instrument. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of MPB.
The following methodologies and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of MPBs financial instruments:
Cash and due from banks:
The carrying value of cash and due from banks is considered to be a reasonable estimate of fair value.
Interest-bearing balances with other financial institutions:
The estimate of fair value was determined by comparing the present value of quoted interest rates on like deposits with the weighted average yield and weighted average maturity of the balances.
Investment securities:
As indicated in Note 7, estimated fair values of investment securities are based on quoted market prices, where applicable. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices for comparable instruments, adjusted for differences between the quoted instruments and the instruments being valued.
Loans:
The loan portfolio was segregated into pools of loans with similar economic characteristics and was further segregated into fixed rate and variable rate and each pool was treated as a single loan with the estimated fair value based on the discounted value of expected future cash flows. Fair value of loans with significant collectibility concerns (that is, problem loans and potential problem loans) was determined on an individual basis using an internal rating system and appraised values of each loan. Assumptions regarding problem loans are judgmentally determined using specific borrower information.
Deposits:
The fair value for demand deposits (e.g., interest and noninterest checking, savings and money market deposit accounts) are by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e. their carrying amounts). Fair value for fixed-rate certificates of deposit was estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation by combining all fixed-rate certificates into a pool with a weighted average yield and a weighted average maturity for the pool and comparing the pool with interest rates currently being offered on a similar maturity.
Short-term borrowings:
Because of time to maturity, the estimated fair value of short-term borrowings approximates the book value.
Long-term debt:
The estimated fair values of long-term debt were determined using discounted cash flow analysis, based on borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.
Accrued interest:
The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximates their fair values. The following table summarizes the book value and fair value of financial instruments at December 31, 2007 and 2006.

(25) | Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Liabilities, including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (SFAS 159). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. It also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entitys first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. The Corporation is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this pronouncement on its consolidated financial statements.
In March 2007, the FASB ratified Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 06-10 (EITF 06-10), Accounting for Collateral Assignment Split-Dollar Life Insurance Agreements. EITF 06-10 provides guidance for determining a liability for the postretirement benefit obligation as well as recognition and measurement of the associated asset on the basis of the terms of the collateral assignment agreement. EITF 06-10 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. The Corporation is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of the EITF will have on its financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), to establish a consistent framework for measuring fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS 157 are effective beginning in 2008 and are not expected to have a material effect on its financial statements.

MID PENN BANCORP, INC. | MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS |
The purpose of this discussion is to further detail the financial condition and results of operations of Mid Penn Bancorp, Inc. (MPB) or Company. MPB is not aware of any known trends, events, uncertainties or of any current recommendations by the regulatory authorities which, if they were to be implemented, would have a material effect on MPBs liquidity, capital resources or operations. This discussion should be read along with the consolidated financial statements also appearing in this report.
Financial Summary
The consolidated earnings of MPB are derived primarily from the operations of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Mid Penn Bank.
MPB earned net income of $4,671,000 for the year 2007, compared to $4,888,000 in 2006, which was a decrease of $397,000 or 4.4%. This represents net income in 2007 of $1.34 per share compared to $1.39 per share in 2006 and $1.31 per share in 2005.
Total assets of MPB continued to grow in 2007, reaching the level of $509,757,000, an increase of $18,063,000 or 3.7% over $491,694,000 at year end 2006. The majority of growth came from increases in commercial real estate loans in the Capital Region. These increases were funded primarily through growth in deposits, along with increased short-term borrowings.
MPB continued to achieve a solid return on average shareholders equity, (ROE), a widely recognized performance indicator in the financial industry. The ROE was 11.84% in 2007, 12.93% in 2006 and 12.87% in 2005. Return on average assets (ROA), another performance indicator, was 0.94% in 2007, 1.08% in 2006 and 1.10% in 2005.
MPB maintained strong fundamental performance in 2007 despite intense local rate competition, general economic slowing and credit issues throughout the banking industry as a whole. Even though MPB spent more on marketing and business development in 2007 than in past years, growth in loans and deposits in its market was very difficult. Two direct competitors of the bank were being acquired through mergers and were offering very aggressive rates, particularly on deposits. Consequently, management decided not to pursue an aggressive growth strategy during the year and turned to wholesale funding and short-term borrowings to fund its slower asset growth. MPB did not participate in subprime lending and hence faired better than many banks in the industry who were faced with problems associated with these lending practices during 2007.
The Banks tier one capital (to risk weighted assets) of $38,591,000 or 9.4% and total capital (to risk weighted assets) of $43,381,000 or 10.6% at December 31, 2007, are above the regulatory requirement, which is 4% for tier one capital and 8% for total capital. Tier one capital consists primarily of the banks stockholders equity. Total capital includes qualifying subordinated debt, if any, and the allowance for loan and lease losses, within permitted limits. Risk-weighted assets are determined by assigning various levels of risk to different categories of assets and off-balance sheet activities.
In September 2007, MPB opened a new office located at 2101 Market Street in Camp Hill, Cumberland County.
Critical Accounting Policies
Management of the Company considers the accounting policy relating to the allowance for loan and lease losses to be a critical accounting policy given the uncertainty in evaluating the level of the allowance required to cover credit losses inherent in the loan and lease portfolio and the material effect that such judgments can have on the results of operations. While managements current evaluation of the allowance indicates that the allowance is adequate, under adversely different conditions or assumptions, the allowance may need to be increased. For example, if historical loan loss experience significantly worsened or if current economic conditions significantly deteriorated, additional provisions for loan losses may be required to increase the allowance. In addition, the assumptions and estimates used in the internal reviews of the Companys non-performing loans and potential problem loans have a significant impact on the overall analysis of the adequacy of the allowance. While management has concluded that the current evaluation of collateral values is reasonable under the circumstances, if collateral evaluations were significantly lowered, the Companys allowance may also require additional provisions for loan and lease losses.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income, MPBs primary source of revenue, represents the difference between interest income and interest expense. Net interest income is affected by changes in interest rates and changes in average balances (volume) in the various interest-sensitive assets and liabilities.
During 2007, net interest income increased $623,000 or 4.0% as compared to an increase of $1,745,000 or 12.7% in 2006. The average balances, effective interest differential, and interest yields for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005 and the components of net interest income, are presented in Table 1. A comparative presentation of the changes in net interest income for 2007 compared to 2006, and 2006 compared to 2005, is given in Table 2. This analysis indicates the changes in interest income and interest expense caused by the volume and rate components of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities.
The yield on earning assets increased to 6.99% in 2007 from 6.80% in 2006. The yield on earning assets for 2005 was 6.10%. The change in the yield on earning assets was due primarily to changes in market interest rates and extreme rate competition within our market. The average prime rate for 2007 was 8.06% as compared to 7.96% for 2006 and 6.19% for 2005.

MID PENN BANCORP, INC. | MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS |
Interest expense increased by $2,607,000 or 20.5% in 2007 as compared to $3,175,000 or 33.2% in 2006.

Provision for Loan and Lease Losses
The provision for loan and lease losses charged to operating expense represents the amount deemed appropriate by management to maintain an adequate allowance for possible loan and lease losses. Following its model for loan and lease loss allowance adequacy, management made a $925,000 provision in 2007 as well as a provision of $735,000 in 2006 and $225,000 in 2005. The allowance for loan and lease losses as a percentage of total loans was 1.27% at December 31, 2007, compared to 1.17% at December 31, 2006 and 1.18% at December 31, 2005, which has been higher than that of peer financial institutions due to MPBs higher level of loans to finance commercial real estate. The higher 2007 provision was due to downgrades in several commercial loan classifications and the reclassification of a large lease relationship into non-accrual status. The loans purchased through the Omega branch acquisition, currently $9.6 million in total, were recorded in December 2006 at fair value with no related allowance for loan losses. These loans were not included in the adequacy model in December of 2006. A summary of charge-offs and recoveries of loans and leases is presented in Table 3.

Noninterest Income
During 2007, MPB earned $3,481,000 in noninterest income, compared to $3,028,000 earned in 2006 and $2,953,000 earned in 2005.
Non-interest income in 2007 includes $180,000 of death benefit on bank owned life insurance (BOLI) recognized upon the death of a retired director who passed away late in 2007.
Service charges on deposit accounts amounted to $1,499,000 for 2007, an increase of $123,000 or 8.93% compared to $1,376,000 for 2006, which was an increase of $28,000 or 2.1% above 2005. The majority of this increase is attributed to the addition of three new branches in Middletown, Steelton, and Camp Hill.
MPB owns cash surrender value of life insurance policies on its directors. The income on these policies amounted to $271,000 during the year 2007, $219,000 in 2006 and $222,000 in 2005.
Trust department income for 2007 was $319,000, a $61,000 or 23.6% increase from $258,000 in 2006, which was a $54,000 or 17.3% decrease from $312,000 in 2005. Trust Department income can fluctuate from year to year, due to the number of estates being settled during the year.
MPB also earned $155,000 in 2007, $112,000 in 2006, and $70,000 in 2005 in fees from the third-party seller of investments whose services the Bank has contracted. Other income amounted to $512,000 in 2007, $498,000 in 2006 and $578,000 in 2005.

Noninterest Expense
A summary of the major components of noninterest expense for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 is reflected in Table 4. Noninterest expense increased to $12,596,000 in 2007 from $11,263,000 in 2006 and $10,262,000 in 2005. The major component of noninterest expense is salaries and employee benefits. The number of full-time equivalent employees increased from 133 to 143 during 2007. Increases in the 2007 workforce included the purchase and addition of the two Omega Bank branches and the Camp Hill branch. Marketing and advertising expense increased from $255,000 in 2006 to $403,000 in 2007, which is attributed to the promotions for the three new offices as well as advertising and promotional activity aimed at attracting customers in light of the mergers of two direct competitors. Occupancy and equipment expenses also increased in 2007 due to the addition of the three new offices, and the relocation of our Elizabethville office. CDI expense is the amortization expense over 8 years of the core deposit intangible resulting from acquistions. With the 2006 Omega branch acquisition the CDI expense increased from $39,000 in 2006 to $131,000 in 2007.
Another significant expense in 2007 was the continuing cost of complying with

Investments
MPBs investment portfolio is utilized to provide liquidity and managed to maximize return within reasonable risk parameters.
MPBs entire portfolio of investment securities is considered available for sale. As such, the investments are recorded at fair value. Our investments: US Treasury, Agency and Municipal securities are valued at a market price relative to investments of the same type with similar maturity dates. As the interest rate environment of these securities changes, the value of securities changes accordingly.
As of December 31, 2007, SFAS No. 115 (the marking of securities to market value) resulted in an increase in shareholders equity of $434,000 (unrealized gain on securities of $657,000 less estimated income tax expense of $223,000). At December 31, 2006, SFAS No. 115 resulted in an increase in the unrealized gain included in other comprehensive income of $291,000 (unrealized gain on securities of $441,000 less estimated income tax expense of $150,000) compared to a December 31, 2005 increase in the unrealized gain included in other comprehensive income of $231,000 (unrealized gain on securities of $352,000, less estimated income tax expense of $121,000). MPB does not have any significant concentrations within investment securities.

Loans
At December 31, 2007, net loans totaled $372,338,000, a $17,952,000 or 5.0% increase from December 31, 2006. During 2007, MPB experienced a net increase in commercial real estate and commercial/industrial loans of approximately $14,020,000, the majority of which was generated in the greater Capital (Harrisburg) Region.
The current environment in lending was extremely competitive with financial institutions aggressively pursuing potential borrowers with very competitive rates. At December 31, 2007, loans, net of unearned income, represented 77.9% of earning assets as compared to 76.1% on December 31, 2006 and 73.7% on December 31, 2005.
The Banks loan portfolio is diversified among individuals, farmers, and small and medium-sized businesses generally located within the Banks trading area of Dauphin County, lower Northumberland County, western Schuylkill County and eastern Cumberland County. Commercial real estate, construction and land development loans are collateralized mainly by mortgages on the income-producing real estate or land involved. Commercial, industrial and agricultural loans are made to business entities and may be secured by business assets, including commercial real estate, or may be unsecured. Residential real estate loans are secured by liens on the residential property. Consumer loans include installment loans, lines of credit and home equity loans. The Bank has no concentration of credit to any one borrower or group of related borrowers. The only concentration is in loans secured by real estate.

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses
The allowance for loan and lease losses is maintained at a level believed adequate by Management to absorb potential losses in the loan and lease portfolio. MPB has a loan review department that is charged with establishing a watch list of potentially unsound loans, identifying unsound credit practices and suggesting corrective actions. A quarterly review and reporting process is in place for monitoring those loans that are on the watch list. Each credit on the watch list is evaluated to estimate potential losses. In addition, loss estimates for each category of credit are provided based on Management's judgment which considers past experience, current economic conditions and other factors. For installment, real estate mortgages and other consumer loans, specific reserve allocations are based on past loss experience adjusted for recent portfolio growth and economic trends.
Calculated amounts resulting from this analysis are specific allocations. The amounts not specifically provided for individual classes of loans are considered general. The general portion of the allowance is determined and based on judgments regarding economic lending conditions, management trends and other factors.
The 2007 provision of $925,000 is an increase of $190,000 over the $735,000 provision in 2006. The larger provision is reflective of the increase in non-performing and classified loans and leases, primarily due to deteriorating economic conditions and the continuing decline of the real estate market. In addition, of particular note, is the potential exposure in one leasing relationship. The 2005 provision of $225,000 reflected the removal from the watch list of a significant loan relationship, thus reducing overall provisions in 2005.
The allocation of the allowance for loan and lease losses among the major classifications is shown in Table 7 as of December 31 of each of the past
five years. The allowance for loan and lease losses at December 31, 2007 was $4,790,000 or 1.27% of total loans less unearned discount as compared to $4,187,000 or 1.17% at December 31, 2006 and $3,704,000 or 1.19% at December 31,

Nonperforming Assets
Nonperforming assets, other than consumer loans and 1-4 family residential mortgages, include impaired and nonaccrual loans, loans past due 90 days or more, restructured loans and other real estate (including residential property). Nonaccrual loans are loans on which we no longer recognize daily interest income. A loan is generally classified as nonaccrual when principal or interest has consistently been in default for a period of 90 days or more, or because of a deterioration in the financial condition of the borrower, payment in full of principal or interest is not expected. Loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest are loans that are generally well-secured and in the process of collection or repayment. Restructured loans are those loans whose terms have been modified to lower interest or principal payments because of borrower financial difficulties. Foreclosed assets held for sale include those assets that have been acquired through foreclosure for debts previously contracted, in settlement of debt.
Consumer loans are generally recommended for charge-off when they become 120 days delinquent. All 1-4 family residential mortgages 90 days or more past due are reviewed quarterly by Management, and collection decisions are made in light of the analysis of each individual loan. The amount of consumer and residential mortgage loans past due 90 days or more at year-end was $916,000, $586,000 and $892,000 in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
A presentation of nonperforming assets as of December 31 for each of the past five years is given in Table 8. Nonperforming assets at December 31, 2007, totaled $7,343,000 or 1.44% of total assets compared to $2,434,000 or 0.50% of total assets in 2006 and $3,317,000 or 0.76% of total assets in 2005. At December 31, 2007, there were three parcels of commercial real estate in Other Real Estate Owned and three lease repossessions in Other Assets-Repossessed Property. The foreclosed assets held for sale at December 31, 2006, consisted of two parcels of commercial real estate and one residential property.

Deposits and Other Funding Sources
MPBs primary source of funds is its deposits. Deposits at December 31, 2007, increased by $8,591,000 or 2.4% over December 31, 2006, which increased by $38,952,000 or 12.0% over December 31, 2005. Average balances and average interest rates applicable to the major classifications of deposits for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005 are presented in Table 9.
Average short-term borrowings for 2007 were $22,528,000 as compared to $14,937,000 in 2006. These borrowings included customer repurchase agreements, treasury tax and loan option borrowings and federal funds purchased. One five- million dollar long-term borrowing matured in 2007, while no new long-term borrowings were entered into during the year.
At December 31, 2007, the Bank held $49,757,000 in funds from brokered deposits. Due to the competitive local deposit environment,

Capital Resources
Stockholders equity, or capital, is evaluated in relation to total assets and the risk associated with those assets. The greater the capital resources, the more likely a corporation is to meet its cash obligations and absorb unforeseen losses. Too much capital, however, indicates that not enough of the companys earnings have been paid to stockholders and the buildup makes it difficult for a company to offer a competitive return on the stockholders capital going forward. For these reasons capital adequacy has been, and will continue to be, of paramount importance.
Capital growth is achieved by retaining more in earnings than is paid out to our stockholders. Stockholders equity increased in 2007 by $1,359,000 or 3.5%, in 2006 by $2,224,000 or 6.0%, and by $1,589,000 or 4.5% in 2005.
MPBs normal dividend payout allows for quarterly cash returns to its stockholders and provides earnings retention at a level sufficient to finance future growth. The dividend payout ratio, which represents the percentage of annual net income returned to the stockholders in the form of cash dividends, was 60% for 2007 compared to 55% for 2006 and 56% for 2005.
At December 31, 2007, 43,706 shares of MPBs common stock have been purchased back by MPB, and are held as treasury stock.

Federal Income Taxes
Federal income tax expense for 2007 was $1,394,000 compared to $1,624,000 and $1,600,000 in 2006 and 2005, respectively. The effective tax rate was 23% for 2007, 25% for 2006 and 26% for 2005.
Liquidity
MPBs asset-liability management policy addresses the management of MPBs liquidity position and its ability to raise sufficient funds to meet deposit withdrawals, fund loan growth and meet other operational needs. MPB utilizes its investments as a source of liquidity, along with deposit growth and increases in repurchase agreements and borrowings. (See Deposits and Other Funding Sources which appears earlier in this discussion.) Liquidity from investments is provided primarily through investments and interest-bearing balances with maturities of one year or less. Funds are available to MPB through loans from the Federal Home Loan Bank and established federal funds (overnight) lines of credit. MPB's major source of funds is its core deposit base as well as its capital resources.
Major sources of cash in 2007 came from operations and a net increase in deposits of $8,591,000, as well as an increase in short-term borrowings of $13,074,000. Another major source of funds were proceeds from the maturity of investment securities of $9,864,000.
The major use of cash in 2007 was a net increase in loans of $18,936,000. Other major uses of cash included the purchase of investment securities of $6,430,000 and the purchase of bank premises and equipment of $1,885,000.
The major sources of cash in 2006 came from operations and a net increase in deposits of $11,795,000 (excluding the deposits of the purchased Omega offices), as well as an increase in short-term borrowings of $11,933,000. Other major sources of funds included a net decrease in interest-bearing balances (investment certificates of deposit of other banks), as well as the cash received of $7,100,000 through the Omega Branches purchase.
The major use of cash in 2006 was funding strong loan demand. Net loans increased $29,946,000, excluding the loans received as part of the Omega Branch acquisition. Another major use of funds was an increase in investment securities of $6,383,000, as funds were moved out of lower yielding interest-bearing balances.
Market Risk - Asset-Liability Management and Interest Rate Sensitivity
Interest rate sensitivity is a function of the repricing characteristics of MPBs portfolio of assets and liabilities. Each asset and liability reprices either at maturity or during the life of the instrument. Interest rate sensitivity is measured as the difference between the volume of assets and liabilities that are subject to repricing in a future period of time. These differences are known as interest sensitivity gaps.
MPB manages the interest rate sensitivity of its assets and liabilities. The principal purpose of asset-liability management is to maximize net interest income while avoiding significant fluctuations in the net interest margin and maintaining adequate liquidity. Net interest income is increased by increasing the net interest margin and by volume growth.
MPB utilizes an asset-liability management model to measure the impact of interest rate movements on its interest rate sensitivity position. The traditional maturity gap analysis is also reviewed regularly by MPBs management. MPB does not attempt to achieve an exact match between interest sensitive assets and liabilities because it believes that a controlled amount of interest rate risk is desirable.
The maturity distribution and weighted average yields of investments is presented in Table 10. The maturity distribution and repricing characteristics of MPBs loan portfolio is shown in Table 11. Table 12 provides expected maturity information about MPBs financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. Except for the effects of prepayments on mortgage related assets, the table presents principal cash flows and related average interest rates on interest earning assets by contractual maturity. Residential loans are assumed to have annual payment rates between 12% and 18% of the portfolio.
MPB assumes that 75% of savings and NOW accounts are core deposits and are, therefore, expected to reprice after 5 years. Transaction accounts, excluding money market accounts, are assumed to reprice after five years. Money market accounts are assumed to be variable accounts and are reported as maturing within the first twelve months. No roll-off is applied to certificates of deposit. Fixed maturity deposits reprice at maturity. The maturity distribution of time deposits of $100,000 or more is shown in Table 13.

During 2007, Management analyzed interest rate risk using the Profit Star
Asset-Liability Management Model. Using the computerized model, Management reviews interest rate risk on a monthly basis. This analysis includes an earnings scenario whereby interest rates are increased by 200 basis points and another whereby they
are decreased by 200 basis points. These scenarios indicate that there would not be a significant variance in net interest income at the one-year time frame due to interest rate changes; however, actual results could vary significantly from the
calculations prepared by Management. At December 31, 2007, all interest rate risk levels according to our model were within the tolerance limits of Board approved policy. The model noted above utilized by Management to create the reports used
for Table 12 makes various assumptions and estimates. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates which would result in significant differences in cash flows. In addition, the table does not take into consideration changes which

Effects of Inflation
A banks asset and liability structure is substantially different from that of an industrial company in that virtually all assets and liabilities of a bank are monetary in nature. Management believes the impact of inflation on its financial results depends principally upon MPBs ability to react to changes in interest rates and, by such reaction, reduce the inflationary impact on performance. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or at the same magnitude as the prices of other goods and services. As discussed previously, Management seeks to manage the relationship between interest sensitive assets and liabilities in order to protect against wide interest rate fluctuations, including those resulting from inflation.
Information shown elsewhere in this Annual Report will assist in the understanding of how MPB is positioned to react to changing interest rates and inflationary trends. In particular, the summary of net liabilities, as well as the composition of loans, investments and deposits should be considered.
Off-Balance Sheet Items
MPB makes contractual commitments to extend credit and extends lines of credit which are subject to MPB's credit approval and monitoring procedures.
As of December 31, 2007, commitments to extend credit amounted to $88,148,000 as compared to $70,630,000 as of December 31, 2006.
MPB also issues financial standby letters of credit to its customers. The risk associated with financial standby letters of credit is essentially the same as the credit risk involved in loan extensions to customers. Financial standby letters of credit increased to $11,480,000 at December 31, 2007, from $11,163,000 at December 31, 2006.

Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive Income is a measure of all changes in equity of a corporation, excluding transactions with owners in their capacity as
owners (such as proceeds from issuances of stock and dividends). The difference between Net Income and Comprehensive Income is termed Other Comprehensive Income. For MPB, Other Comprehensive Income consists primarily of unrealized gains
and losses on available-for-sale securities, net of deferred income tax. Other Comprehensive Income also includes a pension component in accordance with FASB Statement No. 158. Comprehensive Income should not be construed to be a measure of net
income. The effect of Other Comprehensive Income would only be reflected in the income statement if the entire portfolio of available-for-sale securities were sold on the statement date. The amount of unrealized gains or losses reflected in
Comprehensive Income may vary widely at statement dates depending on the markets as a whole and how the portfolio of available-for-sale securities is affected by interest rate movements. Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the years ended
