                                    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
<PAGE>
 
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
<PAGE>
 
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
<PAGE>
 
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
<PAGE>
 
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>

*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
<PAGE>
 
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
<PAGE>
 
"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.

     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.

     The information required by this Item, relating to directors, executive
officers, control persons is set forth on pages 5 through 7 and 13 and 14 of the
Registrant's Proxy Statement to be used in connection with the 1998 Annual
Meeting of Shareholders, which pages are incorporated herein by reference.

     ---------------------------------------------                       
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.

     -----------    ------------------------------                      
certificates shall be exchanged for MP Corp. Common Stock certificates in
accordance with the following procedures:

          (a) Exchange Agent.  The transfer agent of MP Corp. shall act as
              --------------                                              
     exchange agent (the "Exchange Agent") to receive Miners Common Stock
     certificates from the holders thereof and to exchange such stock
     certificates for MP Corp. Common Stock certificates and (if applicable) to
     pay cash for fractional shares of Miners Common Stock pursuant to Section
     2.1(c) above.  The Exchange Agent shall, on or promptly after the Effective
     Date, mail to each former shareholder of Miners a notice specifying the
     procedures to be followed in surrendering such shareholder's Miners Common
     Stock certificates.

          (b) Surrender of Certificates.  As promptly as possible after receipt
              -------------------------                                        
     of the Exchange Agent's notice, each former shareholder of Miners shall
     surrender his Miners Common Stock certificates to the Exchange Agent;
     provided, that if any former shareholder of Miners shall be unable to
     surrender his Miners Common Stock certificates due to loss or mutilation
     thereof, he may make a constructive surrender by following procedures
     comparable to those customarily used by MP Corp. for issuing replacement
     certificates to MP Corp. shareholders whose MP Corp. Common Stock
     certificates have been lost or mutilated.  Upon receiving a proper actual
     or constructive surrender of Miners Common Stock certificates from a former
     Miners shareholder, the Exchange Agent shall issue to such shareholder, in
     exchange therefor, a MP Corp. Common Stock certificate representing the
     whole number of shares of MP Corp. Common Stock into which such
     shareholder's shares of Miners Common Stock have been converted in
     accordance with this Article II, together with a check in the amount of any
     cash to which such shareholder is entitled, pursuant to Section 2.1(c) of
     this Agreement, in lieu of the issuance of a fractional share.

          (c) Dividend Withholding.  Dividends, if any, payable by MP Corp.
              --------------------                                         
     after the Effective Date to any former shareholder of Miners who has not,
     prior to the payment date, surrendered his Miners Common Stock certificates
     may, at the option of MP Corp., be withheld.  Any dividends so withheld
     shall be paid, without interest, to such former shareholder of Miners upon
     proper surrender of his Miners Common Stock certificates.

          (d) Failure to Surrender Certificates.  All Miners Common Stock
              ---------------------------------                          
     certificates must be surrendered to the Exchange Agent within two (2) years
     after the Effective Date.  In the event that any former shareholder of
     Miners shall not have properly surrendered his Miners Common Stock
     certificates within two (2) years after the Effective Date, the shares of
     MP Corp. Common Stock that would otherwise have been issued to him may, at
     the option of MP Corp., be sold and the net proceeds of such sale, together
     with the cash (if any) to which he is entitled in lieu of the issuance of a
     fractional share and any previously accrued dividends, shall be held in a
     non-interest bearing account for his benefit.  From and after any 

                                       3
<PAGE>
 
     such sale, the sole right of such former shareholder of Miners shall be the
     right to collect such net proceeds, cash and accumulated dividends. Subject
     to all applicable laws of escheat, such net proceeds, cash and accumulated
     dividends shall be paid to such former shareholder of Miners, without
     interest, upon proper surrender of his Miners Common Stock certificates.

          (e) Expenses of Share Surrender and Exchange.  All costs and expenses
              ----------------------------------------                         
     associated with the foregoing surrender and exchange procedure shall be
     borne by MP Corp. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no party hereto will be
     liable to any holder of Miners Common Stock for any amount paid in good
     faith to a public official or agency pursuant to any applicable abandoned
     property, escheat or similar law.

          (f) Exchange Procedures.  Each certificate for shares of Miners Common
              -------------------                                               
     Stock delivered for exchange under this Article II must be endorsed in
     blank by the registered holder thereof or be accompanied by a power of
     attorney to transfer such shares endorsed in blank by such holder.  If more
     than one certificate is surrendered at one time and in one transmittal
     package for the same shareholder account, the number of whole shares of MP
     Corp. Common Stock for which certificates will be issued pursuant to this
     Article II will be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares
     represented by the certificates so surrendered.  If shares of Miners Common
     Stock or payments of cash are to be issued or made to a person other than
     the one in whose name the surrendered certificate is registered, the
     certificate so surrendered must be properly endorsed in blank, with
     signature(s) guaranteed, or otherwise in proper form for transfer, and the
     person to whom certificates for shares of MP Corp. Common Stock is to be
     issued or to whom cash is to be paid shall pay any transfer or other taxes
     required by reason of such issuance or payment to a person other than the
     registered holder of the certificate for shares of Miners Common Stock
     which are surrendered.  As promptly as practicable after the Effective
     Date, MP Corp. shall send or cause to be sent to each shareholder of record
     of Miners Common Stock transmittal materials for use in exchanging
     certificates representing Miners Common Stock for certificates representing
     MP Corp. Common Stock into which the former have been converted in the
     Reorganization and Merger.

          (g) Closing of Stock Transfer Books; Cancellation of Miners
              -------------------------------------------------------
     Certificates.  Upon the Effective Date, the stock transfer books for Miners
     ------------                                                               
     Common Stock will be closed and no further transfers of shares of Miners
     Common Stock will thereafter be made or recognized. All certificates for
     shares of Miners Common Stock surrendered pursuant to this Article II will
     be canceled by MP Corp.

          (h) Rights Evidenced by Certificate.  Each certificate for shares of
              -------------------------------                                 
     MP Corp. Common Stock issued in exchange for certificates for Miners Common
     Stock pursuant to Section 2.2(f) hereof will be dated as of the Effective
     Date and be entitled to dividends and all other rights and privileges
     pertaining to such shares of MP Corp. Common Stock from and after the
     Effective Date.  Until surrendered, each certificate theretofore evidencing
     shares of Miners Common Stock will, from and after the Effective Date,
     evidence solely the right 

                                       4
<PAGE>
 
     to receive certificates for shares of MP Corp. Common Stock pursuant to
     Section 2.2(f) hereof. If certificates for shares of Miners Common Stock
     are exchanged for MP Corp. Common Stock at a date following one or more
     record dates for the payment of dividends or of any other distribution on
     the shares of MP Corp. Common Stock subsequent to the Effective Date, MP
     Corp. will pay cash in an amount equal to dividends theretofore payable on
     such MP Corp. Common Stock and pay or deliver any other distribution to
     which holders of shares of MP Corp. Common Stock have theretofore become
     entitled. No interest will accrue or be payable in respect of dividends or
     cash otherwise payable under this Section 2.2 upon surrender of
     certificates for shares of MP Corp. Common Stock. Notwithstanding the
     foregoing, no party hereto will be liable to any holder of Miners Common
     Stock for any amount paid in good faith to a public official or agency
     pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.
     Until such time as certificates for shares of Miners Common Stock are
     surrendered by a Miners shareholder to MP Corp. for exchange, MP Corp.
     shall have the right to withhold dividends or any other distributions,
     without interest, on the shares of the MP Corp. Common Stock issuable to
     such shareholder.

          (i) Payment Procedures.  As soon as practical after the Effective
              ------------------                                           
     Date, MP Corp. shall make payment of the cash consideration provided for in

property and assets disposed of in the Ordinary Course of Business), free and
clear of all liens or encumbrances of any kind whatsoever other than: (i) as
reflected in the Bank Balance Sheet; (ii) liens of current taxes not yet due;
and (iii) such imperfections of title, encumbrances and easements, if any, as
are not substantial in character, amount or extent and do not materially detract
from the value, or interfere with the present or pro  posed use, of the
properties and assets subject thereto.  The structures and other improvements to
real estate, furniture, fixtures and equipment reflected in the Bank Balance
Sheet or acquired subsequent to September 30, 1997, are in good operating
condition and repair (ordinary wear and tear excepted) and comply in all
material respects with all applicable laws, ordinances and regulations,
including without limitation all building codes, zoning ordinances and other
similar laws.  Miners owns or has the right to use all real and personal
properties and assets necessary to the conduct of its business as now conducted.

     Section 3.13.  Contracts.  All contracts, agreements, leases, licenses and
     ------------   ---------

instrument as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and
none of the employees of Miners possess the right to terminate their employment

termination agreement, or similar agreement or arrangement to which Miners is a
party or under which Miners may be liable contains provisions which permit an
employee or independent contractor to terminate it without cause and continue to
accrue future benefits thereunder.  No such agreement, plan or arrangement
provides for acceleration in the vesting of benefits or payments due thereunder
upon the occurrence of a change in ownership or control of Miners absent the
occurrence of a subsequent event; provides for benefits which may cause the
disallowance of a federal income tax deduction under Section 280G of the Code;
or requires Miners to provide a benefit in the form of Miners Common Stock or

     Section 3.14.  Litigation and Governmental Directives.  There is no
     ------------   --------------------------------------

otherwise), assets, liabilities, business, operations or future prospects of
Miners;  there are no outstanding orders, writs, injunctions, judgments,
decrees, regulations, directives, consent agreements or memoranda of
understanding issued by any federal, state or local court or governmental
authority or arbitration tribunal issued against or with the consent of Miners
that materially and adversely affect the condition (financial or otherwise),
assets, liabilities, business, operations or future prospects of Miners or that
in any manner restrict Miners's right to conduct its business as presently
conducted, or challenge the validity or propriety of any of the transactions
contemplated by the Agreement, or which could adversely affect the ability of
Miners to perform under this Agreement; and Miners is not aware of any fact or
condition presently existing that might give rise to any litigation,
investigation or proceeding which, if determined adversely to Miners, would
materially and adversely affect the condition (financial or otherwise), assets,
liabilities, business, operations or future prospects of Miners.

     Section 3.15.  Compliance with Laws; Governmental Authorizations. Miners is

applicable to Miners or to any of its properties; all permits, concessions,
grants, franchises, licenses and other governmental authorizations and approvals
necessary for the conduct of the business of Miners as presently conducted have
been duly obtained and are in full force and effect, and there are no
proceedings pending, or to the knowledge of Miners threatened, which may result
in the revocation, cancellation, suspension or materially adverse modification
of any thereof; and Miners has not received any notification or communication
from any regulatory authority (A) asserting that it is not in substantial
compliance with any of the statues, regulations or ordinances which such
regulatory authorities enforce; (B) requiring or threatening to require Miners,
or indicating that Miners may be required, to enter into a cease and desist
order, agreement or memorandum of understanding or any other agreement

payment of dividends (any such notice, communication, memorandum, agreement or
order described herein is referred to as a "Regulatory Agreement"); (C)

authorization which is material to Miners; Miners has not consented to or
entered into any Regulatory Agreement; (D) requesting board resolutions be

     Section 3.16.  Insurance.  All policies of insurance, including all
     ------------   ---------                                           
policies of title insurance and financial institutions bonds, held by or on
behalf of Miners are in full force and effect and no notices of cancellation
have been received in connection therewith.  All such policies of insurance have
been issued by reputable insurers which in respect of amounts, types and risks,
such insurance is customary with industry practices for the business conducted
by Miners.

     Section 3.17.  Financial Institutions Bonds.  Since January 1, 1991, Miners
     ------------   ----------------------------                                
has continuously maintained in full force and effect a financial institutions
bond insuring Miners against acts of dishonesty by each of its employees.
Except as previously disclosed, no claim has been made under any such bond, and
Miners is not aware of any fact or condition presently existing which might form
the basis of a claim under any such bond.  Miners has no reason to believe that
its present financial institutions bond will not be renewed by its carrier on
substantially the same terms and at the same rate as now in effect.

     Section 3.18.  Labor Relations.  Miners is not a party to or bound by any

with a labor union or labor organization, nor is Miners the subject of a
proceeding asserting that Miners has committed an unfair labor practice or
seeking to compel Miners to bargain with any labor organization as to wages and
conditions of employment, nor is there any strike or other labor dispute
involving Miners pending, or to the knowledge of Miners, threatened, that might
materially adversely affect the condition (financial or otherwise), assets,
liabilities, business or operations of Miners.  Miners is not subject to or a
party in any Complaint or action before the Pennsylvania Human Relations
Commission, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, or the Department of
Labor.  There are no labor disputes pending, or to the knowledge of Miners
threatened, that might materially and adversely affect the condition (financial

     Section 3.19.  Employee Benefit Plans.  Each "employee benefit plan", as
     ------------   ----------------------                                   
defined in Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974,
as amended ("ERISA"), that now covers any employee of Miners, its predecessors
or affiliates, complies in all material respects with all applicable
requirements of ERISA, the Code and other applicable laws.  Neither Miners nor
any of its predecessors or affiliates has engaged in any "prohibited
transaction" (as defined in Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code) or
any breach of fiduciary responsibility under Part 4 of Title I of ERISA, with
respect to any such plan which prohibited transaction is likely to result in any
material penalties or taxes under Section 502 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the
Code, or any material liability to any participant or beneficiary of such plan.
No material liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation has been or is
expected to be incurred by Miners with respect to itself or its predecessors or
affiliates with respect to any such plan which is subject to Title IV of ERISA,
or with respect to any "single employer plan" (as defined in Section 4001(a)(15)
of ERISA) currently or formerly maintained.  No such plan had an "accumulated
funding deficiency" (as defined in Section 302 of ERISA) (whether or not waived)
as of the last day of the end of the most recent plan year ending prior to the
date hereof.  The fair market value of the assets of each such plan exceeds the
present value of the "benefit liabilities" (as defined in Section 4001(a)(16) of
ERISA) under each such plan as of the end of the most recent plan year,
calculated on the basis of the actuarial assumptions used in the most recent
actuarial valuation for each such plan.  No notice of a "reportable event" (as
defined in Section 4043 of ERISA) for which the 30-day reporting requirement has
not been waived has been required to be filed for any of such plans within the
12-month period ending on the date hereof.  Neither Miners, its predecessors or
affiliates has provided, or is required to provide, security to any such plans
pursuant to Section 401(a)(29) of the Code. Miners, its predecessors and
affiliates have contributed to no "multi-employer plan", as defined in Section
3(37) of ERISA, on or after September 26, 1980.  All actuarial valuations and
other documents and information concerning benefit plans delivered or made
available in connection with this Agreement are true and correct as of the
date(s) shown thereon, and all actuarial methods and assumptions are appropriate
for such plans, and are consistent with the methods and assumptions permitted by
the Code and ERISA.  All such plans are funded to such level as assets of each
such plan would then be sufficient to pay all vested accrued benefits
thereunder, and there would be no employer liability under Title IV of ERISA.
Since 1990, there has been no audit of any benefit plan of Miners by the
Department of Labor, the IRS or the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation
("PBGC").  There has not been any audit of the Pension Plan or any of Miners's
other employee benefit plans by the Department of Labor, the IRS or the PBGC
since 1988.  Miners, its predecessors and affiliates, have no obligation for
retiree health and life benefits under any benefit plan, contract, or
arrangement.  Miners has no obligation for any post-retirement benefits under
any plan, contract or arrangement except as previously disclosed.

     Section 3.20.  Related Party Transactions.  Except as previously disclosed,
     ------------   --------------------------                                  
Miners has no contract, extension of credit, business arrangement or other
relationship of any kind with any of the following persons: (i) any present or
former officer or director of Miners; (ii) any shareholder owning five percent
or more of the outstanding Miners Common Stock; and (iii) any "associate" (as
defined in SEC Rule 405) of the foregoing persons or any business in which any
of the foregoing persons is an officer, director, employee or five percent or
greater equity owner.  Each such extension of credit previously disclosed has
been made in the Ordinary Course of Business on 

                                       11
<PAGE>
 
substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those
prevailing at the time for comparable arms' length transactions with other
persons that do not involve more than a normal risk of collectibility or present
other unfavorable features.

MP Bank in connection herewith contains any statement which, at the time and in
light of the circumstances under which it is made, is false or misleading with

information provided and the representations made by Miners to MP Corp. and MP
Bank in connection with the Registration Statement (as defined in Section 7.1(b)
of this Agreement), both at the time such information and representations are
provided and made and at the time of the Closing, will be true and accurate in
all material respects and will not contain any false or misleading statement
with respect to any material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary
(i) to make the statements made therein not false or misleading, or (ii) to
correct any statement contained in an earlier communication with respect to such
information or representations which has become false or misleading.

     ------------   ---------------------------------------------               
Effective Date, Miners and its officers and directors will not beneficially own,
in the aggregate, (within the meaning of SEC Rule 13d-3(d)(1)) more than five
percent of the outstanding shares of MP Corp. Common Stock.

     Section 3.25.  Environmental Matters.  For purposes of this Section 3.25,

     consent of the parties upon the affirmative vote of a majority of each of

     this Agreement by giving written notice to Miners, if any matter or thing
     has come to the attention of MP Corp. in the course of its due diligence
     investigation or otherwise with respect to Miners that, in its sole
     opinion, leads it to believe that any such matter or thing materially and
     adversely affects the financial or business performance or prospects of
     Miners so that it would be inadvisable for MP Corp., in its sole and
     exclusive judgment, exercised in a commercial and reasonable manner, to
     proceed with this transaction.

     intentional, willful or grossly negligent misrepresentation or breach of
     covenant, the breaching party shall be liable to the non-breaching party or
     parties for all costs and expenses reasonably incurred by the non-breaching
     party or parties in connection with the preparation, execution and

               1. For five years following the Effective Date, members of the
           Miners Office Board who, prior to the Effective Date, were enrolled
           in the Blue Cross/Blue Shield Plan of Miners shall be entitled to
           have 100% of the premiums paid by MP Bank for participation in MP

           policies for the members of the Miners Office Board, subject to the
           availability of such continued participation.

     If such participation or Plan is not available, MP Bank will use its best
     efforts to obtain coverage in another group health, life, eye and dental,
     insurance plan, the benefits and terms of which are comparable, for the
     remainder of the five-year period.

Date, MP Corp. shall purchase for the benefit of the former directors of Miners,
liability insurance, commonly referred to as tail coverage on terms comparable
to the Miners insurance plan currently in effect, so long as said insurance can
be purchased from a reputable insurer at commercially reasonable rates and
terms, including the term that such policy be on a "claims made" basis.

Taken from page 2, Section 2.1 - (d):

     Closing Market Price.  For purposes of this Agreement, the Closing Market

Price shall be the arithmetic average of the per share closing prices for MP
Corp. Common Stock for the twenty (20) trading days immediately preceding the
date which is five (5) business days before the Effective Date, as reported on
the American Stock Exchange ("AMEX"), the foregoing twenty (20) trading days
being hereinafter sometimes referred to as the "Price Determination Period".

to the average of the closing bid price and the closing asked price as quoted on
AMEX for that day.  In the event that AMEX shall fail to report a closing price,

prices and the closing asked prices as quoted: (i) by _________________________

satisfactory to MP Corp. and MP Bank, to the effect that, as of the Closing:

               (i) Miners is a Pennsylvania state-chartered banking institution,
          duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws
          of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and has full power and lawful

<PAGE>
 
               (v) this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Miners
          and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by MP Corp.
          and MP Bank, constitutes a valid and binding obligation of Miners and
          is enforceable against Miners in accordance with its terms, subject to
          bankruptcy, insolvency, and other laws of general applicability
          relating to or affecting creditors' rights and general equity
          principles;

               (vi) the performance of this Agreement by Miners will not violate
          the Articles of Incorporation or the Bylaws of Miners or, to the
          knowledge of such counsel after reasonable inquiry, any applicable
          statute, rule, regulation, order, decree, directive, consent
          agreement, memorandum of understanding, contract, indenture or other
          instrument to which Miners is a party or by which its properties are
          bound;

               (vii)  to the knowledge of such counsel after reasonable inquiry,
          there is no action, suit or proceeding, pending or threatened, of the
          kind contemplated under Section 8.1(e) of this Agreement;

               (viii)  to the knowledge of such counsel after reasonable
          inquiry, there is no action, suit or proceeding pending or threatened

          opinion) that, if determined adversely to Miners, would have a
          material and adverse effect upon the condition (financial or
          otherwise), assets, liabilities, business or operations of Miners;

               (ix) no consent, approval, authorization or order of any federal,
          state or local court or governmental authority is required to be
          obtained by Miners in connection with the consummation of the
          transactions contemplated in this Agreement, other than such consents,
          approvals, authorizations and orders as have been obtained prior to
          the Closing; and

               (x) such other legal matters incident to the matters contemplated
          hereby as may reasonably be requested by MP Corp. and MP Bank.

          For purposes of Clause (viii) above, any action, suit or proceeding
     seeking to recover from Miners damages, fines, penalties or other relief
     having a monetary value of $10,000 or more shall be deemed to be
     "material".  In giving the foregoing opinion, such counsel may rely as to
     matters of fact without independent investigation, to the extent such
     counsel deems such reliance necessary, appropriate, and reasonable,
     provided, however, that such reliance is expressly noted in such opinion,
     and on certificates of federal, state or local governmental officials and
     on certificates of officers and directors of Miners.  Such counsel may
     expressly exclude any opinions as to choice of law matters and antitrust
     matters and may add other qualifications and explanations of the basis of
     its opinions as are reasonably acceptable to MP Corp. and MP Bank.

          [The opinion of Miners' counsel shall be governed by the Legal Opinion
     Accord ("Accord") of the American Bar Association Section of Business Law
     (1991).  The term "Actual Knowledge" as used herein shall have the meaning
     set forth in the Accord.  In addition, such opinion may be limited to
     present statutes, regulations, rulings and formal agency and judicial
     interpretations and to facts as they presently exist; in rendering such
     opinion, such counsel need assume no obligation to revise or supplement it
     should the present laws be changed by the legislative or regulatory action,
     judicial decision or otherwise after such opinion is rendered.  Such
     counsel may assume that any agreement is the valid and binding obligation
     of any parties to such agreement other than Miners.  In giving such
     opinion, such counsel may rely as to all matters of facts or certificates
     of officers or directors of Miners and certificates of public officials, so
     long as such reliance and the facts thereunder are expressly stated.  Such
     counsel's opinion shall be limited to matters governed by federal laws and
     by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.  With respect to matters
     involving the application of Pennsylvania law, such counsel may rely, to
     the extent it deems proper and as specified in its opinion, upon the
     opinion of local counsel.]

8.1(E)    Accountants' Comfort Letter.  MP Corp. shall have received "comfort"
                      ---------------                                         
letters from Miners' independent certified public accountants dated (i) the date
of the mailing of the Proxy Statement and (ii) the Effective Date, in each case
substantially to the effect that:

               (A) it is a firm of independent public accountants with respect
          to Miners within the rules and regulations of the SEC;

               (B) in its opinion, the audited financial statements of Miners
          examined by it and included in the Proxy Statement comply as to form
          in all material respects with the applicable rules and regulations of
          the SEC; and

               (C) on the basis of specified procedures (which do not constitute
          an examination in accordance with generally accepted auditing
          standards), nothing has come to its attention which causes it to
          believe:  (1) that the financial statements, if any, of Miners
          included in such Proxy Statement do not comply in all material
          respects with the applicable accounting requirements and with the
          rules and regulations of the SEC and (2) that any such unaudited
          financial statements of Miners from which unaudited, quarterly
          financial information set forth in such Proxy Statement has been
          derived, are not fairly presented in conformity with generally
          accepted accounting principles applied on a basis consistent with that
          of the audited financial statements.

8.1 (h)     Dissenting Shareholders.  Holders of no more than five percent (5%)
            -----------------------                                            
of the issued and outstanding shares of Miners shall have exercised their
statutory appraisal or Dissenters' Rights.

8.1 (k) Miners's Shareholders Equity.  The total shareholders equity of Miners
        ----------------------------                                          
(excluding the reserve for loan losses), on a generally accepted accounting
basis, on the Effective Date shall be no less than
___________________________________ Dollars ($__00,000).

        -------------                                                        
days of the execution of this Agreement, that the medical, health, insurance,
and employee benefit plans or programs of Miners shall not contain any provision
or term which, upon assumption by MP Corp. or MP Bank, on the Effective Date
would require MP Corp. or MP Bank to provide benefits or incur cost in excess of
those provided or paid by MP Corp. or MP Bank to or on behalf of its existing
employees.

8.3 (c) Opinion of Counsel for MP Corp. and MP Bank.  MP Corp. and MP Bank shall
        -------------------------------------------

          insolvency, and other laws of general applicability relating to or
          affecting creditors' rights and general equity principles;

          (except as described in Schedule II to this Agreement or in such
          counsel's opinion) that, if determined adversely to MP Corp. or MP
          Bank, would have a material and adverse affect upon the condition
          (financial or otherwise), assets, liabilities, business or operations
          of MP Corp. or MP Bank;

          In giving the foregoing opinion, such counsel may rely as to matters
     of fact without reasonable investigation, to the extent such counsel deems
     such reliance necessary, appropriate and reasonable, provided, however,
     that such reliance is expressly noted on such opinion, and on certificates

     officers and directors of MP Corp. and MP Bank.  Such counsel may exclude

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Mid Penn

financial statements are the responsibility of the Bank's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Mid Penn Bancorp,

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for 1997 Report


 (1)  Principles of Consolidation
         The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts
      of Mid Penn Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Mid Penn Bank
      ("Bank") and Mid Penn Investment Corporation (collectively the
      "Corporation"). All significant intercompany balances and transactions
      have been eliminated.

 (2)  Nature of Business
         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, installment loans, VISA credit
      cards, mortgage and home equity loans, secured and unsecured commercial
      and consumer loans, lines of credit, construction financing, farm loans,
      community development loans, loans to non-profit entities and local
      government loans and various types of time and demand deposits, including
      but not limited to, checking accounts, savings accounts, clubs, money
      market deposit accounts, certificates of deposit and IRAs. In addition,
      the Bank provides a full range of trust services through its Trust
      Department. Deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance
      Corporation (FDIC) to the extent provided by law.

         The financial services are provided to individuals, partnerships,
      non-profit organizations and corporations through its nine offices located
      in the northern portion of Dauphin County, Swatara Township in the lower
      portion of Dauphin County, the southern portion of Northumberland County,
      the western portion of Schuylkill County and Hampden Township in
      Cumberland County.

         Mid Penn Investment Corporation is engaged in investing activities.

  (3) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
         The accounting and reporting policies of the Corporation conform to
      generally accepted accounting principles and to general practice within
      the banking industry. The following is a description of the more
      significant accounting policies.

      (a)  Use of Estimates
              The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
           generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
           estimates and assumptions that affect the reporting amounts of assets
           and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
           at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
           revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results
           may differ from those estimates.

              Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to
           significant change relate to the determination for the allowance for
           loan losses and the valuation of real estate acquired through, or in
           lieu of, foreclosure in settlement of debt.

              While it is reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect on
           the financial statements of a condition, situation, or a set of
           circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements
           will change in the near term due to one or more future confirming
           events, based on current information known to management, management
           is not aware of a condition, situation, or set of circumstances
           whereby the effect of the change would be material to the financial
           statements.

      (b)  Investment Securities
              Investments are accounted for as follows:

                  Held-to-Maturity Securities - includes debt securities that
                  the Corporation has the positive intent and ability to hold to
                  maturity. These securities are reported at amortized cost. At
                  December 31, 1997 and 1996, the Corporation did not have any
                  held-to-maturity securities.

                  Available-for-Sale Securities - includes debt and equity
                  securities not classified as held-to-maturity securities. Such
                  securities are reported at fair value, with unrealized holding
                  gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported, net of
                  deferred income taxes, as a separate component of
                  stockholders' equity.

      (c)  Loans
              Interest on loans is recognized on a method which approximates a
           level yield basis over the life of the loans. The accrual of interest
           on loans, including impaired loans, is discontinued when principal or
           interest has consistently been in default for a period of 90 days or
           more, or because of a deterioration in the financial condition of the
           borrower, payment in full of principal or interest is not expected
           except when loans are well-secured and in the process of collection.
           Interest income is subsequently recognized only to the extent cash
           payments are received. The placement of a loan on the nonaccrual
           basis for revenue recognition does not necessarily imply a potential
           charge-off of loan principal. Loan origination fees and certain
           direct origination costs are capitalized and recognized as an
           adjustment of the yield of the related loan.

      (d)  Allowance for Loan Losses
              The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level believed
           adequate by management to absorb potential losses that may become
           uncollectible. Management's judgment is based upon evaluation of
           individual loans, risk characteristics of categories of loans, credit
           loss experience, economic conditions, appraisals and other relevant
           factors which in management's judgment deserve recognition. The
           allowance for loan losses is established by a charge to operations.
           Loan losses and recoveries on previously charged-off loans are
           charged or credited directly to the allowance.

      (e)  Bank Premises and Equipment
              Bank premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated
           depreciation. Depreciation is provided on the straightline basis.
           Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred. Gains
           and losses on dispositions are reflected in current operations.

      (f)  Foreclosed Assets Held for Sale
              Foreclosed assets held for sale consist of real estate acquired
           through, or in lieu of, foreclosure in settlement of debt and are
           recorded at fair market value at the date of transfer. Any valuation
           adjustments required at the date of transfer are charged to the
           allowance for loan losses. Subsequent to acquisition, foreclosed
           assets are carried at the lower of cost or fair market value less
           costs of disposal, based upon periodic evaluations that consider
           changes in market conditions and development and disposition costs.
           Operating results from assets acquired in satisfaction of debt,
           including rental income less operating costs and gains or losses on
           the sale of or the periodic evaluation of foreclosed assets, are
           recorded in noninterest expense.

      (g)  Income Taxes
              Certain items of income and expense are recognized in different
           accounting periods for financial reporting purposes than for income
           tax purposes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are provided
           in recognition of these timing differences at currently enacted
           income tax rates. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted,
           deferred income tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the
           provision for income taxes.

      (h)  Benefit Plans
              A funded contributory profit-sharing plan is maintained for
           substantially all employees. The cost of the Bank's profit-sharing
           plan is charged to current operating expenses and is funded annually.
           In addition to providing a profit-sharing plan, the Bank provides
           health care coverage for employees who retire with twenty years or
           more of full-time service with the Bank, for a period up to five
           years from the date of retirement under the group plan of the other
           employees, provided the Bank is providing such health care coverage
           for other employees. The Bank also provides continued coverage on
           group life insurance for those employees who retire with twenty years
           or more of full-time service with the Bank. Substantially all of the
           Bank's employees may become eligible for those benefits if they
           continue working for the Bank until retirement age. The Bank
           currently does not offer post-employment benefits.

              During 1995, the Board of Directors adopted a defined benefit
           retirement bonus plan to qualified members of the Board of Directors
           who either voluntarily retire from service or attain mandatory
           retirement age (age 70). The benefit is based on years of service and
           is funded based on the expected future years of service of active
           participants consistent with the requirements of SFAS No. 87
           "Employers' Accounting for Pensions."

      (i)  Trust Assets and Income
              Assets held by the Bank in a fiduciary or agency capacity for
           customers of the Trust Department are not included in the financial
           statements since such items are not assets of the Bank. Trust income
           is recognized on the cash basis which is not materially different
           than if it were reported on the accrual basis.

      (j)  Earnings Per Share
              Earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the
           weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each of
           the years presented giving retroactive effect to stock dividends and
           stock splits.

      (k)  Statement of Cash Flows
              For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Corporation
           considers cash and due from banks to be cash equivalents.

      (l)  Reclassifications
              Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to
           the current year's classifications.

         Estimated fair values of debt securities are based on quoted market
      prices, where applicable. If quoted market prices are not available, fair
      values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments,
      adjusted for differences between the quoted instruments and the
      instruments being valued.

         Restricted equity securities consist of stock in the Federal Home Loan
      Bank of Pittsburgh and Atlantic Central Bankers Bank and do not have a
      readily determinable fair value for purposes of SFAS No. 115, because
      their ownership is restricted and they lack a market. Therefore, these
      securities are classified as restricted investment securities, carried at
      cost, and evaluated for impairment.

         Investment securities and interest bearing balances having a fair value
      of $18,742,000 at December 31, 1997, were pledged to secure public and
      trust deposits and other borrowings.

         Proceeds from the sale of investment securities in 1997 amounted to
      $4,370,000. Gross losses from such sales of investment securities, as
      determined on the basis of specific identification of the adjusted cost of
      each security sold, amounted to $2,000. Gross gains of $12,000 and $15,000
      were realized on the sale of investment securities amounting to $3,786,000
      and $3,017,000 in 1996 and 1995, respectively.

</TABLE> 
         Included within the loan portfolio are loans on which the Bank has
      ceased the accrual of interest. These loans amounted to $312,000 as of
      December 31, 1997 and $1,183,000 as of December 31, 1996. Income
      recognized on nonaccrual loans in 1997 and 1996 was $19,000 and $144,000,
      respectively. Interest income which would have been recognized in 1997 and
      1996 in accordance with the contractual terms would have been $22,000 and
      $248,000, respectively. In addition, loans which were past due 90 days or
      more for which interest continued to be accrued as of December 31, 1997
      and 1996, amounted to approximately $207,000 and $519,000, respectively.

         During 1997, $212,000 in commercial loans were restructured compared to
      $1,442,000 in 1996. The restructurings were done on terms and conditions
      available at current market rates.

         Loans to Bank executive officers, directors, and corporations in which
      such executive officers and directors are beneficially interested as
      stockholders, executive officers, or directors aggregated approximately
      $1,173,000 and $1,123,000 at December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. New
      loans extended were $404,000 and $230,000 and repayments on these loans
      were $354,000 and $335,000 during 1997 and 1996, respectively. These loans
      were made on substantially the same basis, including interest rates and
      collateral as those prevailing for comparable transactions with other
      borrowers at the same time. Net unamortized loan fees deducted from loans
      was $381,957 and $315,545 at December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

  (7) Allowance for Loan Losses

         The recorded investment in loans that are considered impaired amounted
      to $120,000 (all in nonaccrual) and $220,000 (all in nonaccrual) on
      December 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996, respectively. By definition,
      impairment of a loan is considered when, based on current information and
      events, it is probable that all amounts due will not be collected
      according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The allowance
      for loan losses related to loans classified impaired amounted to
      approximately $40,000 at December 31, 1997. The average balances of these
      loans amounted to approximately $204,000 and $464,000 for the years 1997
      and 1996, respectively. Due to the low levels of loans classified as
      impaired, impaired loans should not have a material effect on the
      allowance for loan losses or the earnings of the Bank. The Bank recognizes
      interest income on impaired loans on a cash basis. The following is a
      summary of cash receipts on these loans and how they were applied in 1997
      and 1996.

         In addition, at December 31, 1997 and 1996, the Bank had other
      nonaccrual loans of approximately $193,000 and $963,000, for which
      impairment had not been recognized.

         The Bank has no commitments to loan additional funds to borrowers with
impaired or nonaccrual loans.

 (11) Long-term Debt
      --------------
         The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh (FHLB)
      and through its membership, the Bank can access a number of credit
      products which are utilized to provide various forms of liquidity. As of
      December 31, 1997, the Bank had long-term debt in the amount of $5,688,000
      outstanding to the FHLB consisting of a $1,500,000 term loan at 6.67% due
      September 4, 2001, a $1,082,000 loan at 7.30% due April 5, 2004 amortized
      in equal monthly payment, a $2,000,000 bullet loan at 6.08% which will
      mature on March 19, 2002, a $1,000,000 bullet loan at 6.03% maturing
      October 4, 1999, and a $106,000 amortizing note at 6.71% maturing on
      February 22, 2027. The aggregate amounts of maturities of long-term debt
      subsequent to December 31, 1997 are $138,000 (1998), $1,149,000 (1999),
      $160,000 (2000), $1,672,000 (2001), $2,185,000 (2002), and $384,000
      thereafter. As of December 31, 1996, the Bank had long-term debt in the
      amount of $4,710,000.

         Most of the Bank's investments and mortgage loans are pledged to secure
      FHLB borrowings.

 (12) Lease Commitments
      -----------------
         The Bank leases certain premises under long-term lease agreements which
      are classified as operating leases. Commitments under these agreements are
      not material. Rental expense for 1997, 1996 and 1995 was approximately
      $35,000, $35,000 and $33,000, respectively.

 (13) Benefit Plans
      -------------
         The Bank has a funded contributory profit-sharing plan covering
      substantially all employees. The total employee benefits expense related
      to the Bank's contribution to the plan for 1997, 1996 and 1995 was
      $258,000, $229,000 and $213,000, respectively. In addition, the Bank
      sponsors two defined benefit postretirement plans that cover all full-time
      employees. One plan provides health insurance benefits, and the other
      provides life insurance benefits.

      Health Insurance
      ----------------
         For full-time employees who retire after at least 20 years of service,
      the Bank will pay premiums for major medical insurance (as provided to
      active employees) for a period ending on the earlier of the date the
      participant obtains other employment where major medical coverage is
      available or the date of the participant's death; however, payment of
      medical premiums by the Bank will cease after five years. If the retiree
      becomes eligible for Medicare within the five year period beginning on his
      retirement date, the Bank will pay, at its discretion, premiums for 65
      Special coverage or a similar supplemental coverage. After the five year
      period has expired, all employer-paid benefits will cease; the employee
      may continue coverage through the employer at his/her own expense.

      Life Insurance
      --------------
         Full-time employees will be provided with term life insurance. The
      amounts of coverage are determined as follows:

         At retirement after 20 or more years of service, the insurance amount
      prior to age 65 will be the lesser of three times the participant's annual
      salary at retirement or $50,000. After age 65, the insurance amount will
      decrease by 10% of the age 65 amount per year, subject to a minimum amount
      of $2,000.

         The following table sets forth the plans' combined funded status
      reconciled with the amount included in other liabilities in the balance
      sheet at December 31, 1997 and 1996:

         The Bank's postretirement health insurance plan is not funded; the
      accumulated benefit obligation for the health plan is $215,000 and
      $210,000 at December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

         Net periodic postretirement benefit cost for 1997, 1996 and 1995
      included the following components:

</TABLE> 
         For measurement purposes, a 9.5 percent annual rate of increase in the
      per capita cost of covered health care benefits was assumed for 1997; the
      rate was assumed to decrease gradually to 6.5 percent for 2000 and remain
      at that level thereafter. The health care cost trend assumption has a
      significant effect on the amounts reported. To illustrate, increasing the
      assumed health care cost trend rate by 1 percentage point in each year
      would increase the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation as of
      December 31, 1997, by $37,359 and the aggregate of the service and
      interest cost components of net periodic postretirement benefit cost for
      the year then ended by $6,545. The weighted-average discount rate used in
      determining the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation was 6.75
      percent.

      Retirement Plan
      ---------------
         On May 24, 1995, the Bank adopted an unfunded defined benefit
      retirement plan for directors with benefits based on years of service. The
      adoption of this plan generated unrecognized prior service cost of
      $273,675 which is being amortized based on the expected future years of
      service of active participants.

         The following table sets forth the plan's funded status and amounts
      recognized in the Corporation's consolidated balance sheet at December 31,
      1997 and 1996:

 (15) Regulatory Matters
      ------------------      
         The Pennsylvania Banking Code restricts the availability of Bank
      retained earnings for dividend purposes. At December 31, 1997 and 1996,
      $13,872,000 and $11,817,000, respectively, was not available for dividends
      to the Corporation.

         The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements
      administered by the federal and state banking agencies. Failure to meet
      minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory--and possibly
      additional discretionary--actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could
      have a direct material effect on the Bank's financial statements. The
      regulations require the Bank to meet specific capital adequacy guidelines
      that involve quantitative measures of the Bank's assets, liabilities, and
      certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting
      practices. The Bank's capital classification is also subject to
      qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings
      and other factors.

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

      As of December 31, 1996:

      Tier I Capital (to Average Assets)............   $ 24,266  (12.0%)      8,082   (4.0%)          10,103    (5.0%)

</TABLE> 
         As of December 31, 1997, the Bank's capital ratios are well in excess
      of the minimum and well-capitalized guidelines and the Corporation's
      capital ratios are in excess of the Bank's capital ratios.

 (16) Concentration of Risk and Off-Balance Sheet Risk
         The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet
      risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its
      customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend
      credit and standby letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to
      varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of
      the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets.

         The Bank evaluates each customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case
      basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Bank
      upon extension of credit, is based on management's credit evaluation of
      the borrower. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable,
      inventory, property, plant, and equipment, and income-producing commercial
      properties. The Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of
      nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for
      commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit written is
      represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Bank uses
      the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations
      as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

         Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as
      long as there is no violation of any condition established in the
      contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other
      termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the
      commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total
      commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

         Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the
      Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The
      credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same
      as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The term of
      these standby letters of credit is generally one year or less.

         As of December 31, 1997, commitments to extend credit amounted to
      $21,426,500 and standby letters of credit amounted to $1,323,000.

         Significant concentration of credit risk may occur when the obligations
      of the same or affiliated parties engage in similar activities or have
      similar economic characteristics that would cause those parties to be
      similarly affected by changes in economic or other conditions.

         In analyzing the Bank's exposure to significant concentration of credit
      risk, management set a parameter of 10% or more of the Bank's total net
      loans outstanding as the threshold in determining whether the obligations
      of the same or affiliated parties would be classified as significant
      concentration of credit risk. Concentrations by industry, product line,
      type of collateral, etc., were also considered. U.S. Treasury securities,
      obligations of U.S. government agencies and corporations, and any assets
      collateralized by the same were excluded.

 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (cont'd)


         As of December 31, 1997, there were no similar activities that met the
      requirements to be classified as significant concentration of credit risk.
      However, there is a geographical concentration in that most of the Bank's
      business activity is with customers located in Central Pennsylvania,
      specifically within the Bank's trading area made up of Dauphin County,
      lower Northumberland County, western Schuylkill County and Hampden
      Township in Cumberland County.

         The Bank's highest concentrations of credit are in the areas of mobile
      home park land and commercial real estate office financing. Outstanding
      credit to these sectors amounted to $12,815,000 or 9.1% and $11,869,000 or
      8.4% of total net loans outstanding as of December 31, 1997. These
      concentrations, however, are less than the Bank's parameter of 10% of
      total net loans outstanding.

 (17) Commitments and Contingencies
         In the ordinary course of business, the Bank has various outstanding
      commitments and contingent liabilities that are not reflected in the
      accompanying consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of
      management, after consultation with legal counsel, the ultimate
      disposition of these matters is not expected to have a material adverse
      effect on the consolidated financial condition of the Bank.

 (19) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
         Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 107,
      "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments" requires
      disclosures of fair value information about financial instruments, whether
      or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practical to
      estimate that value. In cases where quoted market values are not
      available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other
      valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the
      assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash
      flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be
      substantiated by comparison to independent markets, and in many cases,
      could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instrument.
      Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent
      the underlying value of the Corporation.

         The following methodologies and assumptions were used to estimate the
      fair value of the Corporation's financial instruments:

      Cash and due from banks:
         The carrying value of cash and due from banks was considered to be a
      reasonable estimate of fair value.

      Interest bearing balances with other financial institutions:
         The estimate of fair value was determined by comparing the present
      value of quoted interest rates on like deposits with the weighted average
      yield and weighted average maturity of the balances.

      Investment securities:
         As indicated in Note 5, estimated fair values of investment securities
      are based on quoted market prices, where applicable. If quoted market
      prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices
      for comparable instruments, adjusted for differences between the quoted
      instruments and the instruments being valued.

      Loans:
         The loan portfolio was segregated into pools of loans with similar
      economic characteristics and was further segregated into fixed rate and
      variable rate and each pool was treated as a single loan with the
      estimated fair value based on the discounted value of expected future cash
      flows. Fair value of loans with significant collectibility concerns (that
      is, problem loans and potential problem loans) was determined on an
      individual basis using an internal rating system and appraised values of
      each loan. Assumptions regarding problem loans are judgmentally determined
      using specific borrower information.

      Deposits:
         The fair value for demand deposits (e.g., interest and noninterest
      checking, savings and money market deposit accounts) are by definition,
      equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e. their
      carrying amounts). Fair value for fixed-rate certificates of deposit was
      estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation by combining all
      fixed-rate certificates into a pool with a weighted average yield and a
      weighted average maturity for the pool and comparing the pool with
      interest rates currently being offered on a similar maturity.

 Mid Penn Bancorp, Inc.
 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (cont'd)


      Short-term borrowed funds:
         Because of time to maturity, the estimated fair value of short-term
      borrowings approximates the book value.

      Long-term debt:
         The estimated fair values of long-term debt was determined using
      discounted cash flow analysis, based on borrowing rates for similar types
      of borrowing arrangements.

      Accrued interest:
         The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximates their fair
      values.

      Off-balance-sheet financial instruments:
         There are no unearned fees outstanding on off-balance-sheet financial
      instruments and the fair values are determined to be equal to the carrying
      values.

         The following table summarizes the book or notional value and fair
      value of financial instruments at December 31, 1997 and 1996.

 (20) Common Stock:
         The Corporation has reserved 50,000 of authorized, but unissued shares
      of its common stock for issuance under a Stock Bonus Plan (the "Plan").
      Shares issued under the Plan are at the discretion of the board of
      directors. Shares reserved will be reduced by any shares issued under the
      Plan which come from treasury stock or are obtained in the open market. At
      December 31, 1997, no shares have been awarded under the plan.

         In November, 1997, the Corporation amended and restated its dividend
      reinvestment plan, (DRIP). Two hundred thousand shares of the
      Corporation's authorized but unissued common stock are reserved for
      issuance under the DRIP. The DRIP also allows for voluntary cash payments
      within specified limits, for the purchase of additional shares.

 (21) Earnings Per Share:
         Earnings per share is based on the weighted-average number of shares of
      common stock outstanding. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
      (SFAS) No. 128, "Earnings Per Share," simplifies the computation of
      earnings per share (EPS) and requires presentation of two new amounts,
      basic and diluted earnings per share, and additional informational
      disclosures. The adoption of SFAS No. 128 is required for all reporting
      periods after December 15, 1997 and requires the restatement of EPS for
      all prior periods. The adoption of SFAS No. 128 did not affect previously
      reported amounts of EPS. The Bank's basic and diluted are the same since
      there are no dilutive potential shares of common stock outstanding.

 (22) Subsequent Event:
         On January 9, 1998, the Corporation entered into an agreement to
      acquire, subject to regulatory approval, all of the outstanding common
      stock of Miners Bank of Lykens in exchange for 148,250 shares of the
      Corporation's common stock, in a business combination expected to be
      accounted for as a pooling of interests.

Mid Penn Bancorp, Inc.
Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

         The purpose of this discussion is to further detail the financial
      condition and results of operations of Mid Penn Bancorp, Inc. (the
      Corporation). The Corporation is not aware of any known trends, events,
      uncertainties or of any current recommendations by the regulatory
      authorities which, if they were to be implemented, would have a material
      effect on the Corporation's liquidity, capital resources or operations.
      This discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial
      statements appearing elsewhere in this report. Per share data has been
      restated to reflect the effect of stock dividends and splits.

                               Financial Summary

         The consolidated earnings of the Corporation are derived primarily from
      the operations of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Mid Penn Bank.

         The Corporation achieved record net income of $4,006,000 for the year
      1997, an increase of $677,000 or 20.34% over 1996's net income of
      $3,329,000, which was an increase of $359,000 or 12.09% over 1995's net
      income of $2,970,000. This represents net income in 1997 of $1.54 per
      share compared to $1.28 per share in 1996 and $1.14 per share in 1995.
      Approximately $568,000 of the earnings of 1997 were the result of the net
      gain on the sale of the Mid Penn Bank credit card portfolio.

         Total assets of the Corporation continued to grow in 1997, reaching the
      level of $228,775,000, an increase of $18,603,000 or 8.89% over
      $210,172,000 at year end 1996. The growth can be attributed to an increase
      of $18,062,000 in interest-bearing balances and investment securities
      purchased in anticipation of falling interest rates.

         The Corporation continued to achieve an excellent return of average
      assets, (ROA), a widely recognized as performance indicator in the
      financial industry. The ROA was 1.85% in 1997, 1.65% in 1996 and 1.64% in
      1995. Return on average stockholders' equity (ROE), another performance
      indicator, was 15.75% in 1997, 14.32% in 1996 and 13.57% in 1995.

         Tier one capital (to risk weighted assets) of $21,041,000 or 13.70% and
      total capital (to risk weighted assets) of $22,960,000 or 15.00% at
      December 31, 1997 are well above the December 31, 1997 requirement, which
      is 4% for tier one capital and 8% for total capital. Tier one capital
      consists primarily of stockholders' equity. Total capital includes
      qualifying subordinated debt, if any, and the allowance for loan losses,
      within permitted limits. Risk-weighted assets are determined by assigning
      various levels of risk to different categories of assets and
      off-balance-sheet activities. On December 31, 1997, the Corporation
      transferred approximately $5,000,000 in investment securities from the
      Bank to a wholly-owned investment company, Mid Penn Investment Corporation
      in Wilmington, Delaware. The state of Delaware offers a beneficial state
      tax environment for these assets.

         On January 9, 1998, the Corporation entered into an agreement to
      acquire, subject to regulatory approval, all outstanding common stock of
      Miners Bank of Lykens in exchange for 148,250 shares of the Corporation's
      common stock, in a business combination expected to be accounted for a
      pool of interests. Miners Bank of Lykens (MBL) is a one office, full
      service bank with total assets of approximately $27,950,000 at December
      31, 1997. MBL earned net income of $163,000 in 1997 and $148,000 in 1996.
      This pooling would allow Mid Penn Bank to bridge a gap between its
      Elizabethville and Tower City offices. Management anticipates that Mid
      Penn Bank will be able to reduce the operating expenses of the MBL
      location through the elimination of duplicate cost areas.

                              Net Interest Income

         Net interest income, the Corporation's primary source of revenue,
      represents the difference between interest income and interest expense.
      Net interest income is affected by changes in interest rates and changes
      in average balances (volume) in the various interest-sensitive assets and
      liabilities.

         During 1997, net interest income increased $729,000 or 8.42% as
      compared to $527,000 or 6.48% in 1996 and $384,000 or 4.96% in 1995. The
      average balances, effective interest differential and interest yields for
      the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, the components of net
      interest rate growth, are presented in Table 1. A comparative presentation
      of the changes in net interest income for 1997 compared to 1996, and 1996
      compared to 1995, is given in Table 2. This analysis indicates the changes
      in interest income and interest expense caused by the volume and rate
      components of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities.

 Mid Penn Bancorp, Inc.
 Management's Discussion and Analysis (cont'd)

         The yield on earning assets remained fairly constant at 8.64% in 1997
      from 8.65% in 1996. The yield on earning assets for 1995 was 8.89%. The
      change in the yield on earning assets was due primarily to changes in the
      "prime rate." The average "prime rate" for 1997 was 8.44% as compared to
      8.29% for 1996 and 8.81% for 1995.

         Interest expense increased by $430,000 or 5.72% in 1997 as compared to
      $791,000 or 11.77% in 1996 and $981,000 or 17.09% in 1995. The increases
      were due primarily to the increase in the total of interest bearing
      liabilities. The average yield on NOW accounts dropped to 2.10% from 2.62%
      in 1996 due to the expiration of a special introductory rate at our
      Carlisle Pike office.

         Primarily resulting from the fluctuations in interest rates, the net
      interest margin, on a tax equivalent basis, in 1997 was 4.78% compared to
      4.73% in 1996 and 4.99% in 1995. Management continues to closely monitor
      the net interest margin.

                                Provision for Loan Losses

         The provision for loan losses charged to operating expense represents
      the amount deemed appropriate by management to maintain an adequate
      allowance for possible loan losses. Due to the cyclical nature of the
      economy coupled with the Bank's substantial involvement in commercial
      loans and the record number of nationwide consumer bankruptcies in 1997,
      management thought it prudent to make a $100,000 allocation in 1997 as
      well as a provision of $50,000 during 1996. Due to the relative economic
      strength of our market area and the favorable trend in nonperforming
      assets, no provision for loan losses was charged to expense during 1995.
      The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of average total loans was
      1.54% at December 31, 1997, compared to 1.67% and 2.09% for the years
      ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, which continues to be higher than that
      of peer financial institutions. A summary of charge-offs and recoveries of
      loans is presented in Table 3.

                                       Noninterest Income
                                       ------------------

         During 1997, the Corporation earned $1,721,000 in noninterest income,
      an increase of $921,000 or 115.13% over the 1996 total of $800,000, which
      was $105,000 or 15.11% over the 1995 total of $695,000. The major
      contributor to noninterest income in 1997 was the one-time gain on the
      sale of the Bank's credit card portfolio that amounted to $860,000. The
      bulk of the increase in 1996 reflected nonrecurring gains of $189,000 from
      the sale of other real estate as compared to a noninterest expense of
      $22,000 in other real estate in 1995.

         Trust department income for 1997 was $90,000, a $7,000 or 8.43%
      increase over $83,000 in 1996, which was $15,000 or 22.06% more than the
      $68,000 earned in 1995. Trust Department income fluctuates from year to
      year, primarily due to the number of estates being settled during the
      year.

         Service charges on deposit accounts amounted to $300,000 for 1997, an
      increase of $48,000 over $252,000 for 1996, which was basically unchanged
      from 1995. The majority of this increase resulted from the $55,000
      increase in NSF charges in 1997.

         The Corporation also earned $31,000 in fees from Invest, the
      third-party provider of investments whose services the Bank has
      contracted. Other operating income amounted to $409,000 in 1997, $453,000
      and $363,000 in 1996 and 1995, respectively.

                               Noninterest Expense
                               -------------------

         A summary of the major components of noninterest expense for the years
      ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995 is reflected in Table 4.
      Noninterest expense increased to $5,322,000 in 1997 from $4,716,000 in
      1996 and $4,725,000 in 1995. The major component of noninterest expense is
      salaries and employee benefits which increased $504,000 or 20.84% in 1997.
      This expense includes approximately $198,000 of supplemental employee
      bonuses and incentives.

 Management's Discussion and Analysis (cont'd)


         The largest component of decrease in noninterest expense during the
      past two years was due to an FDIC assessment of $22,000 in 1997 and $2,000
      in 1996 as compared to $171,000 in 1995. As part of the fiscal year 1997
      Omnibus Appropriations Bill signed into law on September 30, 1996,
      beginning on January 1, 1997, the banking industry will be required to
      help pay the annual $780 million Financing Corporation (FICO) bond
      obligation. It is currently estimated that for three years, until January
      1, 2000, banks will be required to pay 1.29 cents per $100 in deposits as
      FICO assessment. After January 1, 2000, the FICO assessment on bank
      deposits is anticipated to be 2.4 cents per $100 in deposits. As long as
      the current annual statutory minimum Insurance Fund (BIF) remains fully
      capitalized, healthy banks will pay no premium for the BIF fund. They will
      only pay the FICO assessment. During 1995, the Corporation received a
      refund of FDIC insurance premium of approximately $92,000.

         Other noninterest expense increased by $84,000 in 1997. Included in
      this increase was $20,000 in costs and fees associated with the revision
      of the Corporation's Dividend Reinvestment Plan to make the Plan more
      accessible to shareholders. In addition, the Corporation incurred a
      $20,000 fee for listing on the American Stock Exchange.

                                         -----------

         The Corporation investment portfolio is utilized to improve earnings
      through investments of funds in high-yielding assets which provide the
      necessary balance sheet liquidity for the Corporation.

         At December 31, 1997, SFAS No. 115 resulted in an increase in
      shareholders' equity of $318,000 (unrealized gain on securities of
      $482,000, less estimated income tax effect of $164,000). SFAS No. 115 as
      of December 31, 1996 resulted in an increase in stockholders' equity of
      $168,000 (unrealized gain on securities of $255,000, less estimated income
      tax effect of $87,000) compared to an increase in stockholders' equity of
      $348,000 (unrealized loss on securities of $527,000, less estimated income
      tax effect of $179,000) as of December 31, 1995.

         Proceeds from the sale of investment securities during 1997 were
      $4,370,000. A net loss of $2,000 was realized on those sales. Proceeds
      from the sale of investment securities during 1996 were $3,786,000. Net
      gains of $12,000 were realized on those sales. Proceeds from the
      maturities of investment securities were $8,989,000 in 1997 compared with
      $4,041,000 in 1996 and $6,758,000 in 1995.

         The Corporation does not have any significant concentrations of
      investment securities.

         Table 5 provides a history of the amortized cost of investment
      securities at December 31, for each of the past three years. The gross
      unrealized gains and losses on investment securities are outlined in Note
      5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

                                      Loans

           At December 31, 1997, net loans totaled $141,510,000, a $831,000 or
     0.6% decrease from December 31, 1996. During 1997, the Corporation
     experienced an increase in commercial real estate loans of approximately
     $4,000,000, the majority of which were generated through the Carlisle Pike
     and Derry Street offices.

           In August of 1997, Mid Penn Bank sold its credit card portfolio of
     $5,100,000, generating a gain net of tax of $568,000. The portfolio was
     sold in light of the record number of consumer bankruptcies and the rising
     incidence of credit card fraud that were detrimentally affecting the
     overall return of the portfolio.

           The current environment in lending is extremely competitive with
     financial institutions aggressively pursuing potential borrowers. At
     December 31, 1997, loans, net of unearned income, represented 65.5% of
     earning assets as compared to 70.1% on December 31, 1996 and 70.5% on
     December 31, 1995.

         The Bank's loan portfolio is diversified among individuals, farmers,
     and small and medium-sized businesses generally located within the Bank's
     trading area of Dauphin County, lower Northumberland County, western
     Schuylkill County and eastern Cumberland County. Commercial real estate,
     construction and land development loans are collateralized mainly by
     mortgages on the income-producing real estate or land involved. Commercial,
     financial and agricultural loans are made to business entities and may be
     secured by business assets, including commercial real estate, or may be
     unsecured. Residential real estate loans are secured by liens on the
     residential property. Consumer loans include installment, credit card,
     lines of credit and home equity loans.

           A distribution of the Bank's loan portfolio according to major loan
     classification is shown in Table 6.

                           Allowance for Loan Losses

           The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level believed
     adequate by Management to absorb potential loan losses in the loan
     portfolio. The Corporation has a loan review department that is charged
     with establishing a "watchlist" of potential unsound loans, identifying
     unsound credit practices and suggesting corrective actions. A quarterly
     review and reporting process is in place

Management's Discussion and Analysis (cont'd)

     for monitoring those loans that are on the "watchlist." Each credit on the
     "watchlist" is evaluated to estimate potential losses. In addition,
     estimates for each category of credit are provided based on Management's
     judgment which considers past experience, current economic conditions and
     other factors. For installment and real estate mortgages, specific
     allocations are based on past loss experience adjusted for recent portfolio
     growth and economic trends. The total of reserves resulting from this
     analysis are "allocated" reserves. The amounts not specifically provided
     for individual classes of loans are considered "unallocated." This
     unallocated amount is determined and based on judgments regarding risk of
     error, economic conditions, trends and other factors.

           The allocation of the allowance for loan losses among the major
     classifications is shown in Table 7 as of December 31 of each of the past
     five years. The allowance for loan losses at December 31, 1997, was
     $2,176,000 or 1.51% of total loans less unearned discount as compared to
     $2,173,000 or 1.50% at December 31, 1996, and $2,347,000 or 1.78% at
     December 31, 1995.

</TABLE> 

                             Nonperforming Assets

           Nonperforming assets, other than consumer loans and 1-4 family
     residential mortgages, include impaired and nonaccrual loans, loans past
     due 90 days or more, restructured loans and other real estate (including
     residential property). A loan is generally classified as nonaccrual when
     principal or interest has consistently been in default for a period of 90
     days or more, or because of a deterioration in the financial condition of
     the borrower, payment in full of principal or interest is not expected.
     Loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest are loans that
     are generally well-secured and in the process of collection or repayment.
     Restructured loans are those loans whose terms have been modified to
     provide for a reduction of interest or principal payments because of
     borrower financial difficulties. Foreclosed assets held for sale include
     those assets that have been acquired through foreclosure for debts
     previously contracted, in settlement of debt.

           Consumer loans are generally recommended for charge-off when they
     become 150 days delinquent. All 1-4 family residential mortgages 90 days or
     more past due are reviewed quarterly by Management, and collection
     decisions are made in light of the analysis of each individual loan. The
     amount of consumer and residential mortgage loans past due 90 days or more
     at year-end was $118,000, $89,000 and $103,000 in 1997, 1996, and 1995,
     respectively.

           A presentation of nonperforming assets as of December 31, for each of
     the past five years is given in Table 8. Nonperforming assets at 
     December 31, 1997, totaled $2,086,000 or .91% of total assets compared to
     $2,395,000 or 1.14% of total assets in 1996, and $2,455,000 or 1.26% of
     total assets in 1995. The increase in nonaccrual loans in 1994 was due to a
     large commercial real estate loan going into Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 1994.
     The foreclosed assets held for sale at December 31, 1997, consist of four
     pieces of commercial real estate, two parcels of residential building lots,
     two one-family dwellings, one commercial property and one multi-family
     residence that the Corporation had available for sale.

           The improvement in nonperforming assets can be attributed to the
     current improved economic climate, including commercial real estate, and
     the Corporation's ongoing commitment to controlling credit risk.
     Nonperforming assets are taken into consideration by Management when
     assessing the adequacy of the Allowance for Loan Losses.

           There are no loans classified for regulatory purposes that have not
     been included in Table 8. At December 31, 1997, no loans were considered
     impaired because management is aware of information which causes doubt as
     to the ability of the borrower to comply with loan repayment terms except
     for those identified as non-accrual loans. There are no trends or
     uncertainties which management expects will materially impact future
     operating results, liquidity or capital resources or no other material
     credits about which management is aware of any information which causes
     management to have serious doubts as to the ability of such borrowers to
     comply with loan repayment terms.

                      Deposits and Other Funding Sources

           The Corporation's primary source of funds is its deposits. Deposits
     at December 31, 1997 were $192,239,000, which increased $17,568,000 or
     10.06% from December 31, 1996, compared to an increase of $12,403,000 or
     7.64% in 1996. A limited-time, special-rate certificate of deposit offer in
     both the spring of 1996 and the fall of 1997 aided the bank in attaining
     these increases. Included in the 1997 deposit growth are in excess of $10
     million in jumbo certificates of deposit issued to municipalities. The
     Corporation's newest office on the Carlisle Pike in Hampden Township
     contributed $4,207,000 in increased deposits during 1996. Average balances
     and average interest rates applicable to the major classifications of
     deposits for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996, and 1995 are
     presented in Table 9.

           Average short-term borrowings for 1997 were $3,415,000 as compared to
     $3,380,000 in 1996. These borrowings included customer repurchase
     agreements, treasury tax and loan option borrowings and federal funds
     purchased.

                               Capital Resources

           Stockholders' equity, or capital, is evaluated in relation to total
     assets and the risk associated with those assets. The greater the capital
     resources, the more likely a corporation is to meet its cash obligations
     and absorb unforeseen losses. For these reasons capital adequacy has been,
     and will continue to be, of paramount importance.

Management's Discussion and Analysis (cont'd)

           In 1997, capital grew $2,233,000 or 9.06% above 1996. Comparatively,
     1996 capital grew $1,956,000 or 8.62% above 1995. Capital growth in both
     periods was achieved through earnings retention.

           The Corporation's normal dividend payout allows for quarterly cash
     returns to its stockholders and provides earnings retention at a level
     sufficient to finance future Corporation growth and to enhance the
     Corporation's return on equity.The dividend payout ratio, which represents
     the percentage of annual net income returned to the stockholders in the
     form of cash dividends, was 48% for 1997 compared to 36% for 1996 and 57%
     for 1995.

           Until 1997, the Corporation acquired shares of its stock in the open
     market to meet the needs of its dividend reinvestment plan. The
     availability of shares for purchase has decreased significantly in recent
     years, and, as a result, the Corporations dividend reinvestment plan was
     changed in 1997 to allow for the use of authorized, but unissued shares of
     common stock under the plan.

           In December, 1997, the Corporation filed an application with the
     Internal Revenue Service to approve a employee stock ownership plan.

           At December 31, 1997, 19,241 shares of the Corporation's common stock
     are held as treasury stock and are available for issuance under the
     dividend reinvestment plan or the stock bonus plan. The treasury stock may
     also be used or available for the proposed employee stock ownership plan.

                             Federal Income Taxes

           Federal income tax expense for 1997 was $1,676,000 compared to
     $1,359,000 and $1,127,000 in 1996 and 1995, respectively. The effective tax
     rate was 29% for 1997 and 1996, and 28% for 1995.

                                   Liquidity

           The Corporation's asset-liability management policy addresses the
     management of the Corporation's liquidity position and its ability to raise
     sufficient funds to meet deposit withdrawals, fund loan growth and meet
     other operational needs. The Corporation utilizes its investment portfolio
     as a source of liquidity, along with deposit growth and increases in
     repurchase agreements and other short-term borrowings. (See Deposits and
     Other Funding Sources which appears earlier in this discussion.) Liquidity
     from investments is provided primarily through investments and interest
     bearing balances with maturities of one year or less. Funds are available
     to the Corporation through loans from the Federal Home Loan Bank and
     established federal funds lines of credit. The Corporation's major source
     of funds is its core deposit base as well as its capital resources.

           In 1997, the major sources of cash were provided by operations, the
     sale and maturity of investments of $13,359,000 and an increase in deposits
     of $17,568,000. Included in the time deposit increase is approximately
     $10,000,000 in short-term certificates issued to local municipalities. A
     special rate certificate of deposit promotion in the early fall of the year
     also aided in attracting additional deposit funds. Another major one-time
     source of funds was the $8,378,000 contributed by the sale of the Bank's
     entire credit card portfolio and a portion of its student loans. These
     funds included a gross gain on the sales of $924,000.

           The major use of funds during 1997 was the purchase of investment
     securities. Purchases of investment securities included largely agency and
     municipal securities of intermediate term. The large investment in
     securities was made initially to invest the funds generated from the loan
     sales. Purchases continued in the fourth quarter in an effort to lock in
     yields in anticipation of falling interest rates. Interest-bearing
     balances, jumbo certificates of deposit of other financial institutions,
     also offered favorable rates over treasury securities during the last half
     of 1997. These balances which also provide steady liquidity for the bank
     showed a net increase of $7,294,000 during the year. Loan growth while
     sporadic in a very competitive rate environment provided a net use of funds
     of $7,809,000. The majority of the loan growth occurring in commercial real
     estate and development loans particularly in the Harrisburg and Camp Hill
     markets.

           During 1996, the major sources of cash were provided by operations,
     the sale and maturity of investment securities of $7,919,000, a net
     increase in demand and savings deposits of $3,498,000 and a net increase in
     time deposits of $8,905,000. As noted, the increase in deposits arose
     primarily through the Carlisle Pike office which opened in September of
     1995. The increase was further aided by a limited-time special rate
     certificate of deposit offer in the spring of 1996. Additionally, interest
     bearing balances were decreased by $1,626,000 during the year.

 Management's Discussion and Analysis (cont'd)

         Major uses of funds again included the funding of commercial loans
      primarily during the latter half of 1996, which resulted in a net increase
      of $13,196,000 in outstanding loans. Purchases of investment securities
      were $11,636,000 yielding a net increase of $3,549,000 in securities
      during the year. Borrowings were increased by $1,579,000 to generate the
      additional funds needed to meet the loan demand.

         Market Risk - Asset-Liability Management and Interest Rate Sensitivity
         ----------------------------------------------------------------------
         Interest rate sensitivity is a function of the repricing
      characteristics of the Corporation's portfolio of assets and liabilities.
      Each asset and liability reprices either at maturity or during the life of
      the instrument. Interest rate sensitivity is measured as the difference
      between the volume of assets and liabilities that are subject to repricing
      in a future period of time. These differences are known as interest
      sensitivity gaps.

         The Corporation manages the interest rate sensitivity of its assets and
      liabilities. The principal purpose of asset-liability management is to
      maximize net interest income while avoiding significant fluctuations in
      the net interest margin and maintaining adequate liquidity. Net interest
      income is increased by increasing the net interest margin and by
      increasing earning assets.

         The Corporation utilizes asset-liability management models to measure
      the impact of interest rate movements on its interest rate sensitivity
      position. The traditional maturity gap analysis is also reviewed regularly
      by the Corporation's management. The Corporation does not attempt to
      achieve an exact match between interest sensitive assets and liabilities
      because it believes that a controlled amount of interest rate risk is
      desirable.

         The maturity distribution and weighted average yields of investments is
      presented in Table 10. The maturity distribution and repricing
      characteristics of the Corporation's loan portfolio is shown in Table 11.
      Table 12 provides expected maturity information about the Corporation's
      financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates.
      Except for the effects of prepayments on mortgage related assets, the
      table presents principal cash flows and related average interest rates on
      interest bearing assets by contractual maturity. Residential loans are
      assumed to have annual payment rates between 12% and 18% of the portfolio.
      Loan and mortgage backed securities balances are not adjusted for unearned
      discounts, premiums, and deferred loan fees. The Corporation assumes that
      75% of savings and NOW accounts are core deposits and are, therefore,
      expected to roll-off after 5 years. Transaction accounts, excluding money
      market accounts, are assumed to roll-off after five years. Money market
      accounts are assumed to be variable accounts and are reported as maturing
      within the first twelve months. No roll-off is applied to certificates of
      deposit. Fixed maturity deposits reprice at maturity. The maturity
      distribution of time deposits of $100,000 or more is shown in Table 13.

 Management's Discussion and Analysis (cont'd)

          On December 31, 1997, management analyzed interest rate risk using the
     Vining Sparks Asset-Liability Management Model. Using the computerized
     model, management reviews interest rate risk on a monthly basis. This
     analysis includes an earnings scenario whereby interest rates are increased
     by 200 basis points and another whereby they are decreased by 200 basis
     points. At December 31, 1997, these scenarios indicate that there would not
     be a significant variance in net interest income at the one-year time frame
     due to interest rate changes; however, actual results could vary
     significantly from the calculations prepared by management. At December 31,
     1997, all interest rate risk levels according to our model were within the
     tolerance guidelines set by management. The model noted above utilized by
     management to create the reports used for Table 12 makes various
     assumptions and estimates. Actual results could differ significantly from
     these estimates which would result in significant differences in cash
     flows. In addition, the table does not take into consideration changes
     which management would make to realign its portfolio in the event of a
     changing rate environment.

                              Effects of Inflation

         A bank's asset and liability structure is substantially different from
      that of an industrial company in that virtually all assets and liabilities
      of a bank are monetary in nature. Management believes the impact of
      inflation on its financial results depends principally upon the
      Corporation's ability to react to changes in interest rates and, by such
      reaction, reduce the inflationary impact on performance. Interest rates do
      not necessarily move in the same direction or at the same magnitude as the
      prices of other goods and services. As discussed previously, Management
      seeks to manage the relationship between interest sensitive assets and
      liabilities in order to protect against wide interest rate fluctuations,
      including those resulting from inflation.

         Information shown elsewhere in this Annual Report will assist in the
      understanding of how the Corporation is positioned to react to changing
      interest rates and inflationary trends. In particular, the summary of net
      liabilities, the composition of loans, investments and deposits should be
      considered.

                             Off-Balance-Sheet Items

         The Corporation makes contractual commitments to extend credit and
      extends lines of credit which are subject to the Corporation's credit
      approval and monitoring procedures.

          As of December 31, 1997, commitments to extend credit amounted to
     $21,427,000 as compared to $29,956,000 as of December 31, 1996.

         The Corporation also issues standby letters of credit to its customers.
      The risk associated with standby letters of credit is essentially the same
      as the credit risk involved in loan extensions to customers. Standby
      letters of credit decreased to $1,323,000 at December 31, 1997, from
      $2,062,000 at December 31, 1996.

              Year 2000 Compliance; Management Information Systems:

         The Board of Directors has established a Year 2000 compliance committee
      to address the risks of the critical internal bank systems that are
      affected by date sensitive applications, as well as external systems
      provided by third parties. A comprehensive Year 2000 Business Action Plan
      was developed detailing the sequence of events and actions to be taken as
      the Year 2000 approaches.

         In November, 1997, the Company purchased and installed an upgrade to
      its current systems to improve efficiencies of operations and position
      itself for future growth. The cost of the new system was approximately
      $284,000. Preconversion testing demonstrated that the new hardware and
      software are Year 2000 compliant. Further testing will be performed as
      needed to ensure future hardware upgrades or software additions meet the
      same level of compliance.
