PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS.

General. Mid Penn Bancorp, Inc. (the "Registrant"), was incorporated in
the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in August, 1991, for the sole purpose of
forming a one-bank holding company. On December 31, 1991, the Registrant
acquired, as part of the holding company formation, all of the outstanding
common stock of Mid Penn Bank (the "Bank"), and the Bank became a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Registrant. The Bank is the Registrant's only, direct or
indirect, subsidiary.

Millersburg Bank, the predecessor to 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,
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. The Bank is supervised by the Pennsylvania Department
of Banking (the "Department") and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the
"FDIC"). The Registrant's and the Bank's legal headquarters is located at 349
Union Street, Millersburg, Pennsylvania 17061.

At December 31, 1996, the Registrant's consolidated assets, deposits
and shareholders' equity were approximately $210,172, $174,671 and $24,650,
respectively. The Registrant's primary business consists of attracting deposits
from its network of community banking offices operated by the Bank. The Bank
engages in a full-service commercial banking and trust business, making
available to the community a wide range of financial services, including, but
not limited to, personal loans, mortgage and home equity loans, secured and
unsecured commercial 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
(the "BIF") of the FDIC to the maximum extent provided by law.

The Registrant operates in a heavily regulated environment. Changes in
laws and regulations affecting the Registrant and it's subsidiary, the Bank, may
have an impact on operations. See "Supervision and Regulation--The Registrant"
and "Supervision and Regulation--The Bank."

Employees. At December 31, 1996, the Registrant had 68 full-time and 24
part-time employees. None of these employees is represented by a collective
bargaining agent, and the Registrant believes it enjoys good relations with its
personnel.

The Registrant experiences substantial competition in attracting and
retaining deposits and in lending funds. Primary factors in competing for
deposits are the ability to offer attractive rates and the convenience of office
locations. Direct competition for deposits comes primarily from other commercial
banks and thrift institutions. Competition for deposits also comes from money

1
market mutual funds, corporate and government securities and credit unions. The
primary factors in the competition for loans are interest rates, loan
origination fees and the range of products and services offered. Competition for
origination of real estate loans normally comes from other commercial banks,
thrift institutions, mortgage bankers, mortgage brokers and insurance companies.

For additional information with respect to the Registrant's business
activities, see Part II, Item 7 hereof.

Environmental Laws. Neither the Registrant nor the Bank anticipate that
compliance with environmental laws and regulations will have any material effect
on capital, expenditures, earnings, or on its competitive position. However,
environmentally related hazards have become a source of high risk and
potentially unlimited liability for financial institutions. Environmentally
contaminated properties owned by an institution's borrowers may result in a
drastic reduction in the value of the collateral securing the institution's
loans to such borrowers, high environmental clean up costs to the borrower
affecting its ability to repay the loans, the subordination of any lien in favor
of the institution to a state or federal lien securing clean up costs, and
liability to the institution for clean up costs if it forecloses on the
contaminated property or becomes involved in the management of the borrower. To
minimize this risk, the Bank may require an environmental examination of and
report with respect to the property of any borrower or prospective borrower if
circumstances affecting the property indicate a potential for contamination,
taking into consideration a potential loss to the institution in relation to the
borrower. Such examination must be performed by an engineering firm experienced
in environmental risk studies and acceptable to the institution, and the cost of
such examinations and reports are the responsibility of the borrower. These
costs may be substantial and may deter prospective borrower from entering into a
loan transaction with the Bank. The Registrant is not aware of any borrower who
is currently subject to any environmental investigation or clean up proceeding
that is likely to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or
results of operations of the Bank.

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 substances on
or from the property, or knowingly 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.

2
As discussed above, there are several federal and state statutes that
regulate the obligations and liabilities of financial institutions pertaining to
environmental issues. In addition to the potential for attachment of liability
resulting from its own actions, a bank may be held liable under certain
circumstances for the actions of its borrowers, or third parties, when such
actions result in environmental problems on properties that collateralize loans
held by the Bank. Further, the liability has the potential to far exceed the
original amount of the loan issued by the Bank. Currently, neither the
Registrant nor the Bank is a party to any pending legal proceeding pursuant to
any environmental statute, nor is the Registrant or the Bank aware of any
circumstances that may give rise to liability under any such statute.

Supervision and Regulation - The Registrant. The Registrant is subject
to the provisions of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the
"Holding Company Act"), and to supervision and regulation by the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Board"). The Holding Company Act
requires the Registrant to secure the prior approval of the Board before it owns
or controls, directly or indirectly, more than 5 percent of the voting shares or
substantially all of the assets of any institution, including another bank. The
Holding Company Act prohibits acquisition by the Registrant of more than 5
percent of the voting shares of, or interest in, all or substantially all of the
assets of any bank located outside of Pennsylvania unless such acquisition is
specifically authorized by the laws of the state in which such bank is located.

A bank holding company, such as the Registrant, is prohibited from
engaging in or acquiring direct or indirect control of more than 5 percent of
the voting shares of any company engaged in non-banking activities unless the
Board, by order or regulation, has found that such activities are so closely
related to banking, managing or controlling banks as to be a proper incident
thereto. In making this determination, the Board considers whether the
performance of these activities by a bank holding company would offer benefits
to the public that outweigh possible adverse effects. The Registrant does not at
this time engage in any other permissible activities, nor does the Registrant,
presently, have plans to engage in any other permissible activities.

Federal law also prohibits acquisitions of control of a bank holding
company without prior notice to certain federal bank regulators. Control is
defined for this purpose as the power, directly or indirectly, to direct the
management or policies of the bank or bank holding company or to vote 25 percent
or more of any class of voting securities.

The Bank, as a subsidiary bank of a bank holding company, is subject to
certain restrictions imposed by the Federal Reserve Act on any extensions of
credit to the Registrant or to any of its subsidiaries, on investments in the
stock or other securities of the Registrant and on taking of such stock or
securities as collateral for loans to any borrower.

The Board, the FDIC and other federal regulators have issued certain
risk-based capital guidelines, which supplement existing capital requirements.
The guidelines require all United States banks and bank holding companies to
maintain a minimum risk-based capital ratio of 8 percent (of which at least 4
percent must be in the form of common stockholders' equity). The risk-based
capital rules are designed to make regulatory capital requirements more

3
sensitive to differences in risk profiles among banks and bank holding companies
and to minimize disincentives for holding liquid assets. The Registrant and the
Bank have capital ratios exceeding regulatory requirements. For information
concerning the Registrant's ratios, please see page 35 of the Registrant's 1996
Annual Report to Shareholders, which page is included at Exhibit 13 hereto and
incorporated herein by reference. A detailed discussion of the Bank's regulatory
capital requirements is set forth below in "Supervision and Regulation--The
Bank."

Under the Pennsylvania Banking Code of 1965, as amended, (the "Code"),
the Registrant is permitted to control an unlimited number of banks. However, as
discussed above, the Registrant would be required, under the Holding Company
Act, to obtain the prior approval of the Board. The Holding Company Act has been
amended by The Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Act of 1994 (the
"Riegle-Neal Act") to authorize bank holding companies, subject to certain
limitations and restrictions, to acquire banks located in any state. The
Riegle-Neal Act permitted interstate banking after September 29, 1995. Bank
holding companies can acquire a bank located in any state, as long as the
acquisition does not result in the bank holding company controlling more than 10
percent of the deposits in the United States, or 30 percent of the deposits in
the target bank's state. The legislation permits states to waive the
concentration limits and require that the target institution be in existence for
up to five years before it can be acquired by an out-of-state bank or bank
holding company. Interstate branching and merging of existing banks is permitted
after September 29, 1998, if the bank is adequately capitalized and demonstrates
good management. The Riegle-Neal Act also amends the International Banking Act
to allow a foreign bank to establish and operate a federal branch or agency upon
approval of the appropriate federal and state banking regulator.

In 1995, the Pennsylvania legislature amended the Code to harmonize
Pennsylvania law with the Riegle-Neal Act to enable Pennsylvania institutions to
participate fully in interstate banking and to remove obstacles to the
selection, by banks from other states engaged in interstate banking, of
Pennsylvania as a head office location. Some of the more salient features of the
amendment are described below.

A bank holding company located in Pennsylvania, another state, the
District of Columbia or a territory or possession of the United States, with the
prior approval of the Department, may control one or more banks, bank and trust
companies, national banks or interstate banks located in Pennsylvania. A
Pennsylvania-chartered institution may maintain branches in any other state, the
District of Columbia, or a territory or possession of the United States upon the
written approval of the Department. A banking institution existing under the
laws of another jurisdiction may establish a branch in Pennsylvania, if the laws
of the jurisdiction in which such institution is located permit establishment
and maintenance of a branch by a Pennsylvania-chartered institution or a
national bank (located in Pennsylvania) in such jurisdiction on substantially
the same terms and conditions.

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

4
institutions are frequently made in Congress, and before various bank regulatory
agencies. The Registrant can not predict the likelihood of any major changes or
the impact such changes might have on the Registrant 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. Set forth below
are some of the proposals advanced by the federal banking agencies. Congress is
considering legislative reform centered on repealing the Glass-Steagall Act,
which prohibits commercial banks from engaging in the securities industry.

The Registrant'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 Board have had, and will likely
continue to have, an impact on the operating results of commercial banks because
of the Board's power to implement national monetary policy, to, among other
things, curb inflation or combat recession. The Board 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.

Federal Taxation. The Registrant and the Bank are subject to those
rules of federal income taxation generally applicable to corporations and report
their respective income and expenses on the accrual method of accounting. The
Registrant and its subsidiary file a consolidated federal income tax return on a
calendar year basis. Intercompany distributions (including dividends) and
certain other items of income and loss derived from intercompany transactions
are eliminated upon consolidation of all the consolidated group members'
respective taxable income and losses.

The Internal Revenue Code (the "IRC") imposes a corporate alternative
minimum tax (AMT). The corporate AMT only applies if such tax exceeds a
corporation's regular tax liability. In general, the AMT is calculated by
multiplying the corporate AMT rate of 20% by an amount equal to the excess of
(i) the sum of (a) regular taxable income plus (b) certain adjustments and
tax preference items ("alternative minimum taxable income" or "AMTI") over (ii)
an exemption amount ($40,000 for a corporation, that such amount is reduced by
25% of the excess of AMTI over $150,000 and is completely eliminated when AMTI
equals $310,000). There are certain applicable adjustment and preference items
(E.G., the adjustment for depreciation) for determining AMTI. If a banking
institution is subject to AMT, then all or a portion of the amount of a
preference will effectively be subject to a 20% surtax.

State Tax. The Registrant is subject to the Pennsylvania Corporate Net
Income Tax and Capital Stock Tax. The Corporate Net Income Tax rate for 1996 and
thereafter is 9.99% and is imposed upon a corporate taxpayer's unconsolidated
taxable income for federal tax purposes with certain adjustments. In general,
the Capital Stock Tax is a property tax imposed on a corporate taxpayer's
capital stock value apportionable to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, which is
determined in accordance with a fixed formula based upon average book income and

5
net worth. In the case of a holding company, an optional elective method permits
the corporate taxpayer to be taxed on only 10% of such capital stock value. The
Capital Stock Tax rate is presently 1.275%.

Supervision and Regulation--The Bank The Bank's deposits are insured by
the BIF of the FDIC. The Bank is not a member of the Federal Reserve System. The
Bank is subject to supervision, regulation and examination by the Department and
by the FDIC. In addition, the Bank is subject to a variety of local, state and
federal laws that affect its operation.

The laws of Pennsylvania applicable to the Bank include provisions
that, among other things: (1) require the maintenance of certain reserves
against deposits; (2) limit the type and amount of loans that may be made and
the interest that may be charged thereon; (3) restrict investments and other
activities; (4) set limits on the payment of dividends; and (5) regulate
activities of the Bank with respect to mergers and consolidations and the
establishment of branches. The amount of funds that the Bank may lend to a
single borrower is limited, generally, under Pennsylvania law, to 15 percent of
the aggregate of its capital, surplus, undivided profits and loan loss reserves
and capital securities (all as defined by statute and by regulation).

The Bank, as a subsidiary bank of a bank holding company, is subject to
certain restrictions imposed by the Federal Reserve Act on (1) any extensions of
credit to the Registrant or its subsidiaries; (2) investments in the stock or
other securities of the Registrant or its subsidiaries; and (3) taking such
stock or securities as collateral for loans. The Federal Reserve Act and Board
regulations also place certain limitations and reporting requirements on
extensions of credit by a bank to principal shareholders of its parent holding
company, among others, and to related interests of such principal shareholders.
In addition, legislation and regulations promulgated thereunder may affect the
terms upon which any person becoming a principal shareholder of a holding
company may obtain credit from banks with which the subsidiary bank maintains a
correspondent relationship.

Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991
("FDICIA"), federal regulatory agencies classify institutions into one of five
defined capital categories, as illustrated below (well capitalized, adequately
capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized and critically
undercapitalized).

<TABLE>

Significantly undercapitalized less than 6.0 less than 3.0 less than 3.0
Critically undercapitalized less than 2.0

</TABLE>

*3.0 for those banks having the highest available regulatory rating.

6
In the event an institution's capital deteriorates to the
undercapitalized category or below, FDICIA prescribes an increasing amount of
regulatory intervention, including: (1) the institution by a bank of a capital
restoration plan and a guarantee of the plan by a parent institution; and (2)
the placement of a hold on increases in assets, number of branches or lines of
business. If capital has reached the significantly or critically
undercapitalized level, further material restrictions can be imposed, including
restrictions on interest payable on accounts, dismissal of management and (in
critically undercapitalized situations) appointment of a receiver. For well
capitalized institutions, FDICIA provides authority for regulatory intervention
where the institution is deemed to be engaging in unsafe or unsound practices or
receives a less than satisfactory examination report rating for asset quality,
management, earnings or liquidity. All but well capitalized institutions are
prohibited from accepting brokered deposits without prior regulatory approval.

Under FDICIA, financial institutions are subject to increased
regulatory scrutiny and must comply with certain operational, managerial and
compensation standards to be developed by Federal Reserve Board regulations.
FDICIA also requires the regulators to issue new rules establishing certain
minimum standards to which an institution must adhere including standards
requiring a minimum ratio or classified assets to capital, minimum earnings
necessary to absorb losses and a minimum ratio of market value to book value for
publicly held institutions. Additional regulations are required to be developed
relating to internal controls, loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest
rate exposure, asset growth and excessive compensation, fees and benefits.

A separate subtitle within FDICIA, called the "Bank Enterprise Act of
1991," requires "truth-in-savings" on consumer deposit accounts so that
consumers can make meaningful comparisons between the competing claims of banks
with regard to deposit accounts and products. Under this provision, the Bank
will be required to provide information to depositors concerning the terms of
their deposit accounts, and in particular, to disclose the annual percentage
yield. There will inevitably be some operational cost of complying with the
Truth-In-Savings law.

Management believes that full implementation of FDICIA has had no
material impact on the Registrant's or the Bank's liquidity, capital resources
or reported results of operations. If all FDIC insurance premium assessments
increase in the future, Management believes that such increase might have a
material impact on future reported results of operations.

Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (the "FDIA"), federal
regulatory agencies possess the power to prohibit institutions from engaging in
any activity that would be an unsafe or unsound banking practice or would
otherwise be in violation of law. Moreover, the Financial Institutions
Regulatory and Interest Rate Control Act of 1978 ("FIRA") generally expanded the
circumstances under which officers or directors of a bank may be removed by the
institution's federal supervisory agency, restricts lending by a bank to its
executive officers, directors, principal shareholders or related interests
thereof and restricts management personnel of a bank from serving as directors
or in other management positions with certain depository institutions whose
assets exceed a specified amount or which have an office within a specified
geographic area, and restricts the relationships of management personnel of a
bank with securities companies and securities dealers. Additionally, FIRA

7
prohibits acquisition of control of a bank unless the appropriate federal
supervisory agency has received sixty (60) days prior written notice, and,
within that time, has not disapproved the acquisition of control or otherwise
extended the period for disapproval. Control, for purposes of FIRA, means the
power to direct, either directly or indirectly, the management or policies or to
vote twenty-five percent (25%) or more of any class of outstanding stock of a
financial institution or its respective holding company. A person or group
holding revocable proxies to vote twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the
outstanding common stock of a financial institution or holding company would be
presumed to be in control the institution for purposes of FIRA.

Under the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977, as amended ("CRA"), an
institutions federal regulator is required to assess a financial institutions
record to determine if the institution is meeting the credit needs of the
community (including low and moderate income neighborhoods) which it serves and
to take this record into account evaluating any application made by an
institution for, among other things, approval of a branch or other deposit
facility, office relocation, a merger or any acquisition of bank shares. The
Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989 ("FIRREA")
amended the CRA to require, among other things, that a bank's record of meeting
the credit needs of its community, including low and moderate income
neighborhoods be made available to the public. This evaluation includes a
descriptive rating ("outstanding", "satisfactory", "needs to improve" or
"substantial noncompliance") and a statement describing the basis for the
rating. These ratings are publicly disclosed.

FIRREA was enacted primarily to improve the supervision of savings
associations by strengthening capital, accounting and other supervisory
standards. In addition, FIRREA reorganized the FDIC by creating two deposit
insurance funds to be administered by the FDIC: the Savings Association
Insurance Fund and BIF. Customers' deposits held by the Bank are insured under
the BIF. FIRREA also regulates real estate appraisal standards and the
supervisory/enforcement powers and penalty provisions in connection with the
regulation of the Bank.

In 1995, federal regulators revised the CRA rules to emphasize
performance over process and documentation. Under the revised rules, a
five-point rating scale is used; A bank's compliance is determined by a
three-prong test whereby examiners assign a numerical score for a bank's
performance in each of three areas: lending, service and investment. The area of
lending is weighted to increase its importance in the application of the test.
When rating a bank in the area of lending, regulators examine the number and
amount of loan originations, the location of where the loans were made, and the
income levels of the borrowers. Although banks, under the revised rules, are not
required to make loans in every area, if there are apparent tracts in which
there is little lending, examiners will focus their investigations in that area.
The service prong evaluates how a bank delivers its products to the community
through branching. As with lending, banks are not required to branch in every
area, although conspicuous gaps will be investigated. The third prong,
investment in community, examines how the bank meets the investment needs in the
community within which it operates. Assessment of investment is accomplished
using a "performance context" pursuant to which regulators meet with civic,
community and bank officials in order to determine the credit needs of the
community.

8
Expanded Home Mortgage Disclosure Act reporting requirements were also
approved for large banks and thrifts which require reporting of census tract
data on mortgages made outside of the delineated communities. In addition,
effective March 1, 1997, institutions with assets above $250 million are
required to report their aggregate small business loans made by geographic
region. Independent banks with total assets of less than $250 million and bank
subsidiaries with total assets of less than $250 million that have holding
companies with total assets of less than $1 billion are subjected to less
stringent CRA examinations.

Under the new regulation, banks enjoy a reduction in compliance burden.
Banks are not required to keep extensive documentation to prove that directors
have participated in drafting and review of CRA policies. A formal CRA statement
need not be prepared. The efforts banks make to market in low - and
moderate-income communities do not have to be documented, nor will banks have to
justify the basis for their community delineation or the methods used to
determine the credit needs of the community.

Under the Bank Secrecy Act ("BSA"), banks and other financial
institutions are required to report to the Internal Revenue Service currency
transactions of more than $10,000 or multiple transactions of which the Bank is
aware in any one day that aggregate in excess of $10,000. Civil and criminal
penalties are provided under the BSA for failure to file a required report, for
failure to supply information required by the BSA or for filing a false or
fraudulent report.

The Competitive Equality Banking Act ("CEBA"), included the legislation
which (1) imposes certain restrictions on transactions between banks and their
affiliates; (2) expands the powers available to Federal bank regulators in
assisting failed or failing banks; (3) limits the amount of time banks may hold
certain deposits prior to making such funds available for withdrawal and any
interest thereon; and (4) requires that any adjustable rate mortgage loan
secured by a lien on a one-to-four family dwelling include a limitation on the
maximum rate at which interest may accrue on the principal balance during the
term of such loan.

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.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.

The Bank owns its main office, branch offices and certain parking
facilities related to its banking offices, all of which are free and clear of
any lien. The Bank's main office and all branch offices are located in

ITEM 10. DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OF THE REGISTRANT.

The information required by this Item, relating to directors, executive
officers, control persons is set forth on pages 6 through 8 and 14 through 18 of
the Registrant's definitive Proxy Statement to be used in connection with the

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Compliance. Section 16(a) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires the Registrant's officers
and directors, and persons who own more than 10 percent of a registered class of
the Registrant's equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in
ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Officers,
directors and greater than 10 percent shareholders are required by SEC
regulation to furnish the Registrant with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they
file.

Based solely on its review of the copies of such forms received by it
or written representations from certain reporting persons that no Forms 5 were
required for those persons, the Registrant believes that during the period
January 1, 1996 through December 31, 1996, its officers and directors were in
compliance with all filing requirements applicable to them.

reference.

ITEM 13.          CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS.
