                   DECLARES DIVIDEND AND REPORTS 2006 EARNINGS

         (Millersburg, PA) - The Board of Directors of Mid Penn Bancorp, Inc.
(AMEX - MBP), parent company of Mid Penn Bank, declared a quarterly cash
dividend of 20 cents per share, payable Monday, February 26, 2007, to
shareholders of record Wednesday, February 7, 2007.

         Mid Penn Bancorp, Inc. reported net income for the year 2006 of
$4,888,000, compared to net income of $4,603,000 for the year 2005. Net income
on a per share basis increased by 7% to $1.46 for 2006, compared to $1.37 for
2005. The return on average equity was 12.9% for both years 2006 and 2005. The
increase in income was primarily attributable to a strong improvement in net
interest income, which increased $1,745,000 or 12.7% from the prior year.

         Earnings for the fourth quarter of 2006 totaled $1,374,000 compared to
$1,452,000 earned in the fourth quarter of 2005. Earnings per share were $.41
per share compared to $.43 per share for the fourth quarter of 2005. Fourth
quarter earnings in 2005 were boosted by an adjustment to the provision to the
allowance for possible loan losses resulting from a significant improvement in a
large commercial loan relationship. The adjustment to the loan loss provision
had a positive effect of approximately six cents on earnings per share in 2005.

         Total assets at December 31, 2006, were approximately $491 million, an
increase of 12.2% from the prior year. Total loans of $359 million as of

year. Total deposits as of December 31, 2006, were $364 million compared to $325
million the prior year, an increase of 12.0%. On December 4, 2006, Mid Penn Bank
purchased the Middletown and Steelton Offices of Omega Bank. Of these increases,
the Omega offices added approximately $27 million in deposits and $16 million in
loans to the balances of Mid Penn Bank.
