Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

The Participants and Plan Administrator

Bryn Mawr Thrift and Savings Plan:

 

We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets available for benefits of the Bryn Mawr Thrift and Savings Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 2004, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2004. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the Plan’s net assets available for benefits as of December 31, 2004, and changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2004, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

 

Our audit was performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplemental information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure Under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

THRIFT AND SAVINGS PLAN

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2004 and 2003

 

(1) Description of the Plan

 

  (a) General

 

The following description of the Bryn Mawr Bank Corporation Thrift and Savings Plan (the Plan) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan Agreement for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions. The Plan is a defined contribution plan under which all employees of Bryn Mawr Bank Corporation (the Corporation) and its wholly owned subsidiaries, including The Bryn Mawr Trust Company (the Bank), (collectively, the Company) who meet certain service requirements are eligible to participate. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

 

  (b) Contributions

 

Employees can voluntarily contribute through payroll deduction from 1% to 16% of their base annual pay on a pre-tax basis, subject to certain limitations. Such contributions are matched dollar for dollar by the Company to a maximum of 3% of the participant’s base annual pay. In addition, the Board of Directors may, at their discretion, authorize an additional contribution based on the Company’s profitability. There were no additional contributions made in 2004 or 2003. The participants direct the investment of their contributions into various investment options offered by the Plan. The Plan currently offers the Corporation’s common stock, two common trust funds administered by the Bank, one money market fund and four mutual funds, as investment options for participants. The matching Corporation contribution is allocated among the investment options based upon the elections made by the participants.

 

Effective January 1, 2003, employment on the last day of the calendar quarter was no longer required for a participant to receive a matching contribution for that quarter if the participant met certain criteria. Effective April 1, 2004, that criteria

was modified. See Amendments to the Thrift and Savings Plan below for more details.

 

Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA.

 

  (c) Amendments to the Thrift and Savings Plan

 

Effective April 1, 2004, the Plan was amended and restated effective January 1, 1997, to eliminate the matching contribution forfeiture for employees who die or terminate employment on account of disability to the end of a calendar quarter. Additionally, effective July 1, 2004, the Plan was amended and restated effective January 1, 1997, to allow executive officers of the Corporation to take loans from the Plan under the same criteria as other employees.

 

  (d) New Investment Opportunities

 

Effective April 1, 2005 two existing investments funds were moved to new funds. The Clipper Fund was moved to the Wells Fargo C & B Large Cap Value Fund and the Brown Capital Small Cap Fund was moved to the Managers Special Equity Fund.

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

  (a) Basis of Accounting

 

The financial statements of the Plan are prepared under the accrual method of accounting.

 

  (b) Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and changes therein, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

  (c) Investment Valuation and Income Recognition

 

The Plan’s investments are stated at fair value. Quoted market prices are used to value investments. Shares of mutual funds are valued at the net asset value of shares held by the Plan at year end. Investments in common trust funds (funds) are stated at estimated fair values, which have been determined based on the unit values of the funds. Unit values are determined by SEI by dividing the fund’s net assets at fair value by its units outstanding at the valuation dates. The Corporation stock is valued at its quoted market price.

 

Purchases and sales of investments are reflected on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

 

  (d) Payment of Benefits

 

Benefits are recorded when paid.

 

(3) Investments

 

The following presents investments that represent 5% or more of the Plan’s net assets at December 31, 2004 and 2003.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2004 and 2003

 

During 2004 and 2003, the Plan’s investments (including gains and losses on investments bought and sold, as well as held during the year) appreciated (depreciated) in value as follows:

 

     2004

    2003

Common stock

   $ (401,555 )   991,839

Common trust funds

     229,733     751,819

Mutual funds

     333,075     645,245
    


 
     $ 161,253     2,388,903
    


 

 

(4) Withdrawals

 

Participants are 100% vested in the underlying equity in their account, including employer contributions. Participants who terminate from the Plan may choose to have all vested funds distributed to them.

 

Participant contributions and accumulated earnings are restricted as to withdrawal, except in Hardship cases as defined by the Internal Revenue Code, to the attainment of age 59 1/2. Hardship withdrawals will be subject to a 10% withdrawal penalty to the participant.

 

(5) Participant Accounts

 

Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contribution and allocations of (a) the Company’s contribution and (b) Plan earnings, and charged with a proportionate allocation of administrative expenses. Allocations are based on participant earnings or account balances, as defined. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant’s vested account.

 

(6) Participants Loan Fund

 

Participants may borrow from their fund accounts a minimum of $500 up to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of their account balance. Current loan terms range from 1 – 10 years, while some loans under the previous loan policy have original terms of 30 years. The loans are secured by the balance in the participant’s account and bear interest at a rate commensurate with local prevailing rates as determined quarterly by the Plan administrator. Principal and interest is paid ratably through bi-weekly payroll deductions.

 

(7) Payment of Benefits

 

On termination of service due to death, disability or retirement, a participant may elect to receive either a lump-sum equal to the value of the participant’s vested interest in his or her account or annual payments. For termination of service due to other reasons, a participant may receive the value of the vested interest in his or her account as a lump-sum distribution.

(8) Federal Income Taxes

 

The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company by a letter dated September 12, 2002, that the Plan and related trust are designed in accordance with applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter. However, the Plan administrator believes that the Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with applicable provisions of the IRC.

 

(9) Related-Party Transactions

 

Certain Plan investments are common trust funds managed by The Bryn Mawr Trust Company as well as shares of stock issued by the Company. The Company is the Trustee as defined by the Plan and therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions.

 

(10) Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Plan provides participants various investment options. Investment securities are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investments securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the value of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the statement of net assets available for benefits.
