Explanatory Note. This Form 8-K/A is filed to supplement and update the information provided in the Form 8-K dated December 19, 2003 of Bryn Mawr Bank Corporation (“Bryn Mawr”) and to reflect the fact that, as anticipated, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) completed its audit of Bryn Mawr’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 in conjunction with the filing on March 15, 2004 of Bryn Mawr’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.
| Item 4. | Change in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant. |
As previously reported on Bryn Mawr’s Form 8-K filed on December 22, 2003, on December 19, 2003, Bryn Mawr retained KPMG LLP (‘KPMG”) as its new independent accountants to audit Bryn Mawr’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004. PwC continued to serve as Bryn Mawr’s independent accountants for the fiscal year ended December 31, 20031. The decision to change independent accountants was made by the Audit Committee of Bryn Mawr.
On March 15, 2004, Bryn Mawr filed its annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003. In connection therewith, PwC completed its audit of Bryn Mawr’s financial statements.
The reports of PwC on the financial statements for the past two fiscal years contain no adverse opinions or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to their uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle.
During each of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2001, 2002 and 2003 and subsequent period through March 15, 2004, the date of the filing of Bryn Mawr’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, there were no disagreements between Bryn Mawr and PwC on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of PwC would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports; and there were no “reportable events” as that term is defined in Item 304 (a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K occurring within Bryn Mawr’s two most recent fiscal years and identified through the date of this Report.
During Bryn Mawr’s two most recent fiscal years and through March 15, 2004, Bryn Mawr has not consulted with KPMG regarding any of the matters or events set forth in Item 304 (a) (2) of Regulation S-K.
Bryn Mawr has provided PwC with a copy of the foregoing disclosures and has requested that PwC review such disclosures and provide a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether they agree with such statements. A copy of PwC’s letter response to such request is attached hereto as Exhibit 16.
| Item 7. | Financial Statements and Exhibits |

| 1 | PwC will audit the Corporation’s Thrift and Savings Plan and the Corporation’s Pension Plan, and perform the Common Trust Fund and USAP audits for the Corporation’s subsidiary, The Bryn Mawr Trust Company, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003. |
