Forward Looking Statements

 

Mid Penn Bancorp, Inc. (“MPB”) may include forward-looking statements relating to such matters as anticipated financial performance, business prospects, technological developments, new products, research and development activities and similar matters in this and other filings with the SEC. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements. In order to comply with the terms of the safe harbor, MPB notes that a variety of factors could cause MPB’s actual results and experience to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in MPB’s forward-looking statements. The risks and uncertainties that may affect the operations, performance, development and results of MPB’s business include the following: general economic conditions, interest rates, financial and capital markets, including their impact on capital expenditures; business conditions in the banking industry; the regulatory environment; rapidly changing technology and evolving banking industry standards; competitive factors, including increased competition with community, regional and national financial institutions; new service and product offerings by competitors and price pressures; and similar items.

 

ITEM 1.    BUSINESS.

 

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. MPB’s 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. MPB’s primary business is the operation of Mid Penn Bank which is managed as a single business segment.

 

MPB’s consolidated financial condition and results of operations consist almost entirely of that of Mid Penn Bank. At December 31, 2002, MPB had total consolidated assets of $363,284,000, total deposits of $274,703,000 and total shareholders’ equity of $35,204,000.

 

As of December 31, 2002, the holding company did not own or lease any property and had no employees.

 

Mid Penn Bank

 

Millersburg Bank, the predecessor to Mid Penn 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, Farmer’s 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. Effective July 10, 1998, MPB acquired Miners Bank of Lykens, which was merged into the bank. The bank is supervised by the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. MPB’s and the bank’s legal headquarters are located at 349 Union Street, Millersburg, Pennsylvania 17061.

 

The bank presently has 12 offices. The bank, headquartered in Millersburg, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, has offices in Dauphin, Northumberland, Schuylkill, and Cumberland Counties, Pennsylvania with total assets of approximately $363 million as of December 31, 2002.

Table of Contents

 

MPB’s 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 maximum extent provided by law. In addition, the bank provides a full range of trust services through its Trust Department. Mid Penn Bank also offers other services such as Internet banking, telephone banking, cash management services, automated teller services and safe deposit boxes.

 

At December 31, 2002, Mid Penn Bank had 106 full-time and 26 part-time employees. No employees are represented by a collective bargaining agent, and the bank believes it enjoys good relations with its personnel.

 

Lending Activities

 

Mid Penn Bank offers a variety of loan products to its customers, including loans secured by real estate, commercial and consumer loans. The bank’s lending objectives are as follows:

 

    to establish a diversified commercial loan portfolio;

 

    to provide a satisfactory return to the company’s 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, 2002, Mid Penn Bank’s highest concentrations of credit were in mobile home park land and commercial real estate office financings and most of the bank’s business activity with customers was located in Central Pennsylvania, specifically in Dauphin, lower Northumberland, Western Schuylkill, and Cumberland Counties.

 

Investment Activities

 

MPB’s 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 of investment securities.

 

MPB’s entire portfolio of investment securities is considered available for sale. As such, the investments are recorded on the balance sheet at market value. MPB’s 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, MPB’s existing securities are valued differently in comparison. This difference in value, or unrealized gain, amounted to $1,357,000, net of tax, as of December 31, 2002. The investments are all 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 MPB’s business activities, see Part II, Item 7 of this report.

Sources of Funds

 

Mid Penn Bank primarily uses deposits and borrowings to finance lending and investment activities. Borrowing sources include advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh, repurchase agreements with investment banks and overnight borrowings from Mid Penn Bank’s customers and correspondent bank. All borrowings, except for the line of credit with Mid Penn Bank’s 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 bank’s 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

 

Mid Penn 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 Mid Penn 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.

 

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.

 

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 Mid Penn 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.

 

Holding Company Regulation

 

As a registered bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 and a Pennsylvania business corporation, we are regulated by the Federal Reserve Board and the provisions of Section 115 of the Pennsylvania Banking Code of 1965.

 

3


Table of Contents

 

The Bank Holding Company Act requires MPB to file an annual report with the Federal Reserve Board regarding the holding company and its subsidiary bank. The Federal Reserve Board also makes examinations of the holding company. Mid Penn Bank is not a member of the Federal Reserve System; however, the Federal Reserve Board 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 Bank Holding Company Act restricts a bank holding company’s ability to acquire control of additional banks. In addition, the Act restricts the activities in which bank holding companies may engage directly or through non-bank subsidiaries.

 

The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Financial Services Modernization Act of l999 (the “Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act”) amended the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 to create a new category of holding company—the “financial holding company.” To be designated as a financial holding company, a bank holding company must file an application with the Federal Reserve Board. The holding company must be well capitalized and well managed, as determined by Federal Reserve Board regulations. When a bank holding company becomes a financial holding company, the holding company or its affiliates may engage in any financial activities that are “financial in nature or incidental to such activities.” Furthermore, the Federal Reserve may approve a proposed activity if it is “complementary” to financial activities and does not threaten the safety and soundness of banking. The Act provides an initial list of activities that constitute activities that are financial in nature, including:

 

    lending and deposit activities,

 

    insurance activities, including underwriting, agency and brokerage,

 

    providing financial investment advisory services,

 

    underwriting in, and acting as a broker or dealer in, securities,

 

    merchant banking,

 

    insurance company portfolio investment,

 

    support services,

 

    making equity and debt investments in corporations or projects designed primarily to promote community welfare, and providing advisory services to these programs,

 

    subject to certain limitations, providing others financially oriented data processing or bookkeeping services,

 

    issuing and selling money orders, travelers’ checks and United States savings bonds,

 

    providing consumer financial counseling that involves counseling, educational courses and distribution of instructional materials to individuals on consumer-oriented financial management matters, including debt consolidation, mortgage applications, bankruptcy, budget management, real estate tax shelters, tax planning, retirement and estate planning, insurance and general investment management, so long as this activity does not include the sale of specific products or investments; and

 

    providing tax planning and preparation advice.

 

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.

Bank Regulation

 

Mid Penn Bank is subject to supervision, regulation and examination by the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and the FDIC. 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 three percent 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 four to five percent. 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.

 

Mid Penn 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 Mid Penn Bank are described in Note 15 to MPB’s 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.

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 percent, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio that is less than 3.0 percent, or a leverage ratio that is less than 3.0 percent, and “critically undercapitalized” if the institution has a ratio of tangible equity to total assets that is equal to or less than 2.0 percent.

 

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 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 institution’s 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, Mid Penn 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 Mid Penn Bank may have to start paying insurance assessments.

Table of Contents

Mid Penn 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. 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 MPB’s 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 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, however, does not limit federal liability which still exists under certain circumstances.

 

Federal Reserve Board Requirements

 

Regulation D of the Federal Reserve Board requires all depository institutions to maintain reserves on transaction accounts. These reserves may be in the form of cash or non-interest-bearing deposits with the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia. Under Regulation D, Mid Penn Bank’s reserve requirement was $500,000 and $2,554,000 at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

 

Recent Developments

 

USA Patriot Act of 2001.    In October 2001, the USA Patriot Act of 2001 was enacted in response to the terrorist attacks in New York, Pennsylvania and Washington D.C. which occurred on September 11, 2001. The Patriot Act is intended to strengthen U.S. law enforcement’s and the intelligence communities’ abilities to work cohesively to combat terrorism on a variety of fronts. The potential impact of the Patriot Act on financial institutions of all kinds is significant and wide ranging. The Patriot Act contains sweeping anti-money laundering and financial transparency laws and imposes various regulations, including standards for verifying client identification at account opening, and rules to promote cooperation among financial institutions, regulators and law enforcement entities in identifying parties that may be involved in terrorism or money laundering.

Table of Contents

 

IMLAFATA.    As part of the USA Patriot Act, Congress adopted the International Money Laundering Abatement and Financial Anti-Terrorism Act of 2001 (IMLAFATA). IMLAFATA amended the Bank Secrecy Act and adopted certain additional measures that increase the obligation of financial institutions, including MPB, to identify their customers, watch for and report upon suspicious transactions, respond to requests for information by federal banking regulatory authorities and law enforcement agencies, and share information with other financial institutions. The Secretary of the Treasury has adopted several regulations to implement these provisions. MPB is also barred from dealing with foreign “shell” banks. In addition, IMLAFATA expands the circumstances under which funds in a bank account may be forfeited. IMLAFATA also amended the Bank Holding Company Act and the Bank Merger Act to require the federal banking regulatory authorities to consider the effectiveness of a financial institution’s anti-money laundering activities when reviewing an application to expand operations. MPB has in place a Bank Secrecy Act compliance program.

 

Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.    On July 30, 2002, President Bush signed into law the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The stated goals of the Act are to increase corporate responsibility, to provide for enhanced penalties for accounting and auditing improprieties at publicly traded companies and to protect investors by improving the accuracy and reliability of corporate disclosures pursuant to the securities laws.

 

The Act is the most far-reaching U.S. securities legislation enacted in decades. The Act generally applies to all companies, both U.S. and non-U.S., that file or are required to file periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Due to the SEC’s extensive role in implementing rules relating to many of the Act’s new requirements, the final scope of these requirements remains to be determined.

 

The Act includes very specific additional disclosure requirements and new corporate governance rules, requires the SEC and securities exchanges to adopt extensive additional disclosure, corporate governance and other related rules and mandates further studies of certain issues by the SEC. The Act represents significant federal involvement in matters traditionally left to state regulatory systems, such as the regulation of the accounting profession, and to state corporate law, such as the relationship between a board of directors and management and between a board of directors and its committees.

 

The Act addresses, among other matters:

 

    audit committees for all reporting companies;

 

    certification of financial statements by the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer;

 

    the forfeiture of bonuses or other incentive-based compensation and profits from the sale of an issuer’s securities by directors and senior officers in the twelve month period following initial publication of any financial statements that later require restatement;

 

    a prohibition on insider trading during pension plan black out periods;

 

    disclosure of off-balance sheet transactions;

 

    a prohibition on personal loans to directors and officers; expedited filing requirements for Forms 4’s;

 

 

8


Table of Contents

 

    disclosure of a code of ethics and filing a Form 8-K for a change or waiver of such code;

 

    “real time” filing of periodic reports;

 

    the formation of a public accounting oversight board;

 

    auditor independence; and

 

    various increased criminal penalties for violations of securities laws.

 

The Act contains provisions that were effective upon enactment on July 30, 2002 and provisions that will be phased in for up to one year after enactment. The SEC was delegated the task of enacting rules to implement various provisions with respect to, among other matters, disclosure in periodic filings pursuant to the Exchange Act.

 

Regulation W.    Transactions between a bank and its “affiliates” are quantitatively and qualitatively restricted under the Federal Reserve Act. The Federal Deposit Insurance Act applies Sections 23A and 23B to insured nonmember banks in the same manner and to the same extent as if they were members of the Federal Reserve System. The Federal Reserve Board has also recently issued Regulation W, which codifies prior regulations under Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act and interpretative guidance with respect to affiliate transactions. Regulation W incorporates the exemption from the affiliate transaction rules but expands the exemption to cover the purchase of any type of loan or extension of credit from an affiliate. Affiliates of a bank include, among other entities, the bank’s holding company and companies that are under common control with the bank. MPB is considered to be an affiliate of Mid Penn Bank. In general, subject to certain specified exemptions, a bank or its subsidiaries are limited in their ability to engage in “covered transactions” with affiliates:

 

    to an amount equal to 10% of the bank’s capital and surplus, in the case of covered transactions with any one affiliate; and

 

    to an amount equal to 20% of the bank’s capital and surplus, in the case of covered transactions with all affiliates.

 

In addition, a bank and its subsidiaries may engage in covered transactions and other specified transactions only on terms and under circumstances that are substantially the same, or at least as favorable to the bank or its subsidiary, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with nonaffiliated companies. A “covered transaction” includes:

 

    a loan or extension of credit to an affiliate;

 

    a purchase of, or an investment in, securities issued by an affiliate;

 

    a purchase of assets from an affiliate, with some exceptions;

 

    the acceptance of securities issued by an affiliate as collateral for a loan or extension of credit to any party; and

 

    the issuance of a guarantee, acceptance or letter of credit on behalf of an affiliate.

Table of Contents

 

In addition, under Regulation W:

 

    a bank and its subsidiaries may not purchase a low-quality asset from an affiliate;

 

    covered transactions and other specified transactions between a bank or its subsidiaries and an affiliate must be on terms and conditions that are consistent with safe and sound banking practices; and

 

    with some exceptions, each loan or extension of credit by a bank to an affiliate must be secured by collateral with a market value ranging from 100% to 130%, depending on the type of collateral, of the amount of the loan or extension of credit.

 

Regulation W generally excludes all non-bank and non-savings association subsidiaries of banks from treatment as affiliates, except to the extent that the Federal Reserve Board decides to treat these subsidiaries as affiliates.

 

Concurrently with the adoption of Regulation W, the Federal Reserve Board has proposed a regulation which would further limit the amount of loans that could be purchased by a bank from an affiliate to not more than 100% of the bank’s capital and surplus.

 

Effects of Government Policy and Potential Changes in Regulation

 

Changes in regulations applicable to MPB or Mid Penn Bank, or shifts in monetary or other government policies, could have a material affect on their business. MPB’s and the bank’s 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 can not 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.

 

MPB’s 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 Reserve’s 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 affect the business of the bank. As a consequence of the extensive regulation of commercial banking activities in the United States, the bank’s business is particularly susceptible to being affected by federal legislation and regulations that may increase the costs of doing business.
