PART I

 

ITEM 1. BUSINESS.

 

The disclosures set forth in this Item are qualified by the section captioned “Special Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” contained in Part II, Item 7. Management’s 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. 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. Mid Penn Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries are collectively referred to herein as “MPB” or the “Company.” MPB’s primary business is to supervise and coordinate the business of its subsidiaries and to provide them with capital and resources.

 

MPB’s 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, 2004, MPB had total consolidated assets of $403,256,000 total deposits of $301,144,000 and total shareholders’ equity of $35,272,000.

 

As of December 31, 2004, Mid Penn Bancorp 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, 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. 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. MPB’s and the bank’s legal headquarters are located at 349 Union Street, Millersburg, Pennsylvania 17061. The bank presently has 12 offices located throughout Dauphin, Northumberland, Schuylkill, and Cumberland Counties, Pennsylvania.

 

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.

Business Strategy

 

Mid Penn 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 12 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 Mid Penn 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.

 

Mid Penn 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. Mid Penn 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 Mid Penn 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, 2004, Mid Penn Bank had 107 full-time and 24 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 MPB’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, 2004, 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,

 

2


Table of Contents

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 $693,000, net of tax, as of December 31, 2004. 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 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, reverse 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

 

The banking business is highly competitive, and the profitability of MPB depends principally upon Mid Penn Bank’s ability to compete in its market area. 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.

 

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 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.

Table of Contents

Further, MPB’s success is dependent to a significant degree on economic conditions in Central Pennsylvania, especially in Dauphin, lower Northumberland, Western Schuylkill and 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 bank’s non-performing assets and loan 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 MPB’s 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 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.

 

Federal and state banking laws contain numerous provisions affecting various aspects of the business and operations of MPB and Mid Penn Bank. MPB is subject to, among others, the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Federal Reserve Board and Mid Penn 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 Mid Penn 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 Reserve’s regulations promulgated thereunder. The Federal Reserve has broad enforcement powers over bank holding companies, including the power to impose substantial fines and civil penalties.

 

The Bank Holding Company Act 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. Mid Penn 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 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.

Gramm-Leach-Bliley Financial Modernization Act

 

In 1999, the Gramm-Leach Bliley Act (“GLB Act”) was signed into law and it 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.

 

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

 

5


Table of Contents

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. Among the many new changes this year are enhanced proxy statement disclosures on corporate governance, stricter independence requirements for the Board of Directors and its committees, and posting of various policies and SEC reports on our website. The full impact of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the increased costs related to MPB’s compliance are still uncertain and evolving.

 

Bank Regulation

 

Mid Penn 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 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

Table of Contents

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 16 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.

 

FDIC Improvement Act

 

As a result of enactment in 1991 of the FDIC Improvement Act, 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.

 

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 institution’s ratio of tangible equity to assets.

 

Payment of Dividends and Other Restrictions

 

MPB is a legal entity separate and distinct from its subsidiary, Mid Penn Bank. There are various legal and regulatory limitations on the extent to which Mid Penn Bank can, among other things, finance, or otherwise supply funds to, MPB. Specifically, dividends from the bank are the principal source of

 

7


Table of Contents

MPB’s 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 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 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 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 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 bank’s 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;

 

9


Table of Contents
    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 February 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

 

    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 Mid Penn 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.

 

On October 31, 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

 

On October 26, 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;

 

10


Table of Contents
    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 Mid Penn 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 Mid Penn Bank, or shifts in monetary or other government policies, could have a material affect on our 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.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Within 90 days prior to the date of this Form 10-K, MPB carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-14. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, MPB’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to MPB (including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in our periodic SEC filings.

 

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no significant changes in MPB’s internal controls or, to its knowledge, in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date MPB carried out its evaluation.

 

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 corporation’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that pertain to the corporation’s 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 corporation’s 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, 2004. 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. In performing this assessment, management has identified the material weaknesses in internal controls listed below:

 

    Lack of sufficient finance personnel to effect adequate segregation of duties in financial statement preparation

 

    Lack of adequate internal controls and testing in the area of information technology

 

As a result of these two material weaknesses in the corporation’s internal control over financial reporting, management has concluded that the corporation’s internal control over financial reporting, as of December 31, 2004, was not effective based on the criteria set forth by COSO in Internal Control – Integrated Framework. A material weakness in internal control over financial reporting is a significant deficiency (within the meaning of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) Auditing Standard No. 2), or combination of control deficiencies, that results in there being more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected.

 

Remediation steps to address material weaknesses:

 

Lack of sufficient finance personnel to effect adequate segregation of duties in financial statement preparation — The number of finance personnel is a factor of the size of the company and management’s attempt at maintaining an efficient structure. Management is evaluating the feasibility of using a disclosure review committee to review quarterly financial statements and SEC reports as well as the possibility of hiring additional finance personnel.

 

Lack of adequate internal controls and testing in the area of information technology — Management separately outsourced the internal audit function in this area to an independent CPA firm in

 

16


Table of Contents

October of 2004. The independent firm did identify several control deficiencies; however, they did not identify any material weaknesses in their report. Management, however, is aggregating the deficiencies and is reporting them as a material weakness. Management is in the process of remedying the identified weaknesses in the area including the establishment of additional policies and procedures to require a formal review of various daily computer and network logs. In addition, Management has contracted in March of 2005 with a third party vendor to perform P.C. network testing of controls for monitoring unauthorized access to operating/application systems and/or security breaches.

 

Parente Randolph, LLC, independent registered public accounting firm that audited the corporation’s financial statements, has issued an attestation report on management’s assertion of the effectiveness of the corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED

PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

Mid Penn Bancorp, Inc.

Millersburg, Pennsylvania:

 

We have audited management’s assessment, included in the accompanying management report on internal controls over financial reporting, that Mid Penn Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiaries did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, because of the effect of the material weaknesses identified in management’s assessment, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Mid Penn Bancorp, Inc.’s 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 management’s assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s 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 included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

A company’s 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 company’s 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 company’s 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.

Table of Contents

A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. The following material weaknesses have been identified and included in management’s assessment:

 

    Lack of sufficient financial personnel to effect adequate segregation of duties in financial statement preparation.

 

    Lack of adequate internal controls and testing in the area of information technology.

 

The effect of the material weaknesses is to increase to an unacceptable level the likelihood of a more than inconsequential misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements that will not be prevented or detected. These material weaknesses were considered in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the 2004 consolidated financial statements, and this report does not affect our report dated February 9, 2005 on those financial statements.

 

In our opinion, management’s assessment that Mid Penn Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiaries did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Also, in our opinion, because of the effect of the material weaknesses described above on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, Mid Penn Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiaries has not maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

 

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Mid Penn Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004, and our report dated February 9, 2005 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

 

We do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance on management’s statements about the company’s plans to implement new controls relating to the material weaknesses identified and disclosure about actions taken by the company after the date of management’s assessment which are contained in the fourth paragraph in the accompanying management report on internal controls over financial reporting.
