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.

As of January 9, 1998, the Registrant entered into an Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization (the "Agreement") with Miners Bank of Lykens ("Miners"), pursuant
to which Miners will merge with, into and under the Charter of the Bank. Under
the terms of the Agreement, shareholders of Miners will receive ten (10) shares
of the Registrant's Common Stock for each share of Miners common stock.
Management of the Registrant estimates that the aggregate value of the
transaction is approximately $4,595,750. Management believes that the
acquisition is an excellent opportunity for the Registrant and will result in
substantial benefit to shareholders, the community and the Bank's customers.
Miners, headquartered in Lykens, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, had total assets
of approximately $28 million as of December 31, 1997. Under the terms of the
Agreement, the Miners Bank at 550 Main Street, Lykens, will operate as a branch
office of the Bank and all employees of Miners will be employed by the Bank.
The Bank, which is headquartered in Millersburg, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania,
presently has 9 offices in Dauphin, Northumberland, Schuylkill, and Cumberland
Counties, Pennsylvania with total assets of approximately $229 million as of
December 31, 1997. Subject to receipt of required regulatory approvals,
including the approval of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the
Department of Banking of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, management
anticipates consummation of the transaction in late spring, 1998.

At December 31, 1997, the Registrant's consolidated assets, deposits and
shareholders' equity were approximately $228,755,000, $192,239,000 and
$26,883,000, 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.

1
The Registrant 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 Commission. 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, the
Registrant notes that a variety of factors could cause the Registrant's actual
results and experience to differ materially from the anticipated results or
other expectations expressed in the Registrant's forward-looking statements.
The risks and uncertainties that may affect the operations, performance,
development and results of the Registrant's business include the following:
general economic conditions, 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.

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, 1997, the Registrant had 71 full-time and 30
---------
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 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

2
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.

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

3
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
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 17 of the Registrant's 1997
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

4
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
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

5
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 tentative 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, as
provided in IRC Sections 56 and 58 and tax preference items, as provided in IRC
Section 57 ("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). The excess of the tentative AMT over the regular tax for the
taxable year is the tax payer's net minimum tax liability.

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 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 .0125%.

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).

6
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>
<CAPTION>
Total Tier 1 Under a
Risk- Risk- Tier 1 Capital
Based Based Leverage Order or
Ratio Ratio Ratio Directive
----- ------ --------- ---------
<S> <C> <C> <C> <C>
CAPITAL CATEGORY
Well capitalized greater than or equal to 10.0 greater than or equal to 6.0 greater than or equal to 5.0 No
Adequately capitalized greater than or equal to 8.0 greater than or equal to 4.0 greater than or equal to 4.0*
Undercapitalized less than 8.0 less than 4.0 less than 4.0*
Significantly
undercapitalized less than 6.0 less than 3.0 less than 3.0
Critically
undercapitalized less than or equal to 2.0
</TABLE>

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

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

7
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 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",

8
"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.

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.

9
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

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.

ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Officers,
directors and greater than 10 percent shareholders are required by SEC

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
