1. The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America (US GAAP) for interim financial

The following represents the unaudited results of operations of the
Company as if the acquisition had occurred the first date of the period
indicated. This pro forma information should be read in conjunction

3. Per Share Information

The Company follows the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 128,
"Earnings Per Share. Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by
dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted
average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS takes
into account the potential dilution that could occur if securities or
other contracts to issue common stock were exercised and converted into
common stock. In January 2002 the Company declared a 6% stock dividend.
All share and per share information has been restated to reflect this
dividend. Basic and diluted EPS are calculated as follows (In

6. Non-performing loans

Loans on which the accrual of interest has been discontinued or reduced
amounted to approximately $13.3 million and $7.4 million at September
30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Although the Company has
non-performing loans of approximately $13.3 million at September 30,
2002, management believes it has adequate collateral to limit it's
credit risks.

The balance of impaired loans which included the loans on which the
accrual of interest has been discontinued, was approximately $13.4
million and $7.5 million at September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
The Company identifies a loan as impaired when it is probable that
interest and principal will not be collected according to the
contractual terms of the loan agreements. Although the company
recognizes the balances of impaired loans when analyzing its' loan loss
reserve, the allowance for loan loss associated with impaired loans was
$ 3 million at September 30, 2002. The income that was recognized on
impaired loans during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002
was $-0-. The cash collected on impaired loans during the same period
was $1 million of which $1 million was credited to the principal
balance outstanding on such loans. The Company's policy for interest
income recognition on impaired loans is to recognize income on
currently performing restructured loans under the accrual method. The
Company recognizes income on non-accrual loans under the cash basis
when the principal payments on the loans become current and the
collateral on the loan is sufficient to cover the outstanding
obligation to the Company. If these factors do not exist, the Company
does not recognize income.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULT
OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis is intended to assist in
understanding and evaluating the changes in the financial condition and earnings
performance of the Company and its' subsidiaries for the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2002.

From time to time, the Company 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 Securities
Exchange Commission. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
provides safe harbor for forward-looking statements. In order to comply with the
terms of the safe harbor, the Company notes that a variety of factors could
cause the Company's actual results and experience to differ materially from the
anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the Company's
forward-looking statements. The risks and uncertainties that may affect the
operations, performance development and results of the Company'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.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total consolidated assets as of September 30, 2002 were $1,098 million,
an increase of $167 million from the $931 million reported at year-end, December
31, 2001. This increase is primarily due to new deposits generated during the
year, along with the utilization of low interest rates offered on advances at
the F.H.L.B. of Pittsburgh.

Total loans decreased $58.1 million from the $646.2 million level at
December 31, 2001 to $588.1 million at September 30, 2002. This decrease is
attributed to the slow pace of the economic recovery and stiff loan competition
that is occurring throughout the industry. The year-to-date average balance of
loans was $609.0 million at September 30, 2002.

The allowance for loan loss increased $321,000 to $12.2 million at
September 30, 2002 from $11.9 million at December 31, 2001. The level of
allowance for loan loss reserve represents approximately 2.1% of total loans at
September 30, 2002 versus 1.8% at December 31, 2001. While management believes
that, based on information currently available, the allowance for loan loss is
sufficient to cover losses inherent in the Company's loan portfolio at this
time, no assurances can be given that the level of allowance will be sufficient
to cover future loan losses or that future adjustments to the allowance will be
sufficient to cover future loan losses or that future adjustments to the
allowance will not be necessary if economic and/or other conditions differ
substantially from the economic and other conditions considered by management in
evaluating the adequacy of the current level of the allowance.

The $219.9 million increase in total investment securities is primarily
attributable to the redeployment of excess cash on hand to achieve a higher rate
of return.

Total cash and cash equivalents increased $4.3 million from $40.0
million level at December 31, 2001 to $44.3 million at September 30, 2002.

11


Total deposits, the primary source of funds, increased $100.4 million
to $802.3 million at September 30, 2002, from $701.9 million at December 31,
2001. This increase in deposits is primarily due to the competitive rates of our
Royal Treasury money market and the opening of our new Grant Avenue Branch. The
balance of brokered deposits was $142.9 million, representing approximately 18%
of total deposits at September 30, 2002. Generally, these brokered deposits
cannot be redeemed prior to the stated maturity, except in the event of the
death or adjudication of incompetence of the deposit holder.

Consolidated stockholder's equity increased $9.1 million to $117.5
million at September 30, 2002 from $108.4 million at December 31, 2001. This
increase is primarily due to net income of $12.6 million, partially offset by
three quarterly cash dividends totaling $7.9 million. Additionally,
stockholder's equity increased by $3.4 million due to an adjustment in the
market value of available-for-sale investment securities during the first nine
months of 2002.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of operations depend primarily on net interest income, which is
the difference between interest income on interest earning assets and interest
expense on interest bearing liabilities. Interest earning assets consist
principally of loans and investment securities, while interest bearing
liabilities consist primarily of deposits. Net income is also effected by the
provision for loan losses and the level of non-interest income as well as by
non-interest expenses, including salary and employee benefits, occupancy
expenses and other operating expenses.

Consolidated net income for the three months ended, September 30, 2002
was $4.5 million or $.39 basic earnings per share, as compared to net income of
$3.6 million or $.32 basic earnings per share for the same three month period in
2001. During the third quarter ended September 30, 2002 the Company had
approximately $550 thousand in gains from sale of $110 million of investment
securities classified as available for sale investments. Consolidated net income
for the nine months ended, September 30, 2002 was $12.6 million or $1.09 basic
earnings per share, as compared to net income of $11.3 million or $1.00 basic
earnings per share for the same nine month period in 2001. This increase is
primarily due to a higher return from the increase in the balance of earning
assets.

For the third quarter 2002, net interest income was $10.5 million as
compared to $10.0 million for the same quarter in 2001, an increase of $500
thousand or 5%. This increase is primarily due to an increase in the average
balance in earning assets in the third quarter period of 2002 versus the same
period in 2001. Interest income on loans decreased $1.9 million for the third
quarter of 2002 versus 2001 primarily due to a decrease in the average balance
of loans during the same period. Interest income on investment securities
increased $1.9 million, a 43% increase over the same three-month period in 2001,
which is primarily due to the increase in the average balance in investment
securities. Total interest expense on deposits and borrowings decreased $0.6
million to $9.3 million as compared to $9.9 million for the same three-month
period in 2001. This decrease in interest expense is primarily due the reduction
of interest rates on deposits and borrowings

Provision for loan losses was $0 for the third quarter of 2002 and $0
for the same three-month period in 2001. Charge-offs and recoveries were $0 and
$51,000 respectively, for the three-month period ended September 30, 2002 versus
$497,000 and $70,000, respectively, for the same three-month period in 2001.
Overall, management considers the current level of allowance for loan loss to be
adequate at September 30, 2002.

12


Total non-interest income for the three-month period ended September
30, 2002 was $1.2 million as compared to $572 thousand for the same three-month
period in 2001. The $658 thousand increase in 2002 is primarily due to gains
realized through the sale of investment securities completed during the quarter.

Total non-interest expense for the three months ended September 30,
2002 was $4.8 million, a decrease of $337 thousand, as compared to $5.2 million
for the same period in 2001. This decrease in non-interest expense is primarily
due to a smaller contribution to the Company's Stock Appreciation Rights Program
during this quarter as compared to the same three-month period in 2001.

CAPITAL ADEQUACY

The company is required to maintain minimum amounts of capital to total
"risk weighted" assets and a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio, as defined by the
banking regulators. At September 30, 2002, the Company was required to have a
minimum Tier 1 and total capital ratios of 4% and 8%, respectively, and a
minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of 3% plus an additional 100 to 200 basis points.

The table below provides a comparison of Royal Bancshares of
Pennsylvania's risk-based capital ratios and leverage ratios:


September 30, 2002 December 31, 2001
------------------ -----------------

Capital Levels
Tier 1 leverage ratio 10.3% 14.1%
Tier 1 risk-based ratio 15.1% 14.4%
Total risk-based ratio 16.4% 15.9%

Capital Performance
Return on average assets 1.6%(1) 2.0%(1)
Return on average equity 15.3%(1) 15.0%(1)
(1) annualized


The Company's ratios compare favorably to the minimum required amounts
of Tier 1 and total capital to "risk weighted" assets and the minimum Tier 1
leverage ratio, as defined by banking regulators. The Company currently meets
the criteria for a well-capitalized institution, and management believes that
the Company will continue to meet its' minimum capital requirements. At present,
the Company has no commitments for significant capital expenditures.

The Company is not under any agreement with regulatory authorities nor
is the Company aware of any current recommendations by the regulatory
authorities that, if such recommendations were implemented, would have a
material effect on liquidity, capital resources or operations of the Company.

LIQUIDITY & INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY

Liquidity is the ability to ensure that adequate funds will be
available to meet its' financial commitments as they become due. In managing
its' liquidity position, all sources of funds are evaluated, the largest of
which is deposits. Also taken into consideration is the repayment of loans.
These sources provide alternatives to meet its' short-term liquidity needs.
Longer liquidity needs may be met by issuing longer-term deposits and by raising
additional capital. The liquidity ratio is generally maintained equal to or
greater than 25% of deposits and short-term liabilities.

The liquidity ratio of the Company remains strong at approximately 37%
and exceeds the Company's peer group levels and target ratio set forth in the
Asset/Liability Policy. The Company's level of liquidity is provided by funds
invested primarily in corporate bonds, capital trust securities, US Treasuries
and agencies, and to a lesser extent, federal funds sold. The overall liquidity
position is monitored on a monthly basis.

Interest rate sensitivity is a function of the repricing
characteristics of the Company's assets and liabilities. These include the
volume of assets and liabilities repricing, the timing of the repricing, and the
interest rate sensitivity gaps is a continual challenge in a changing rate
environment. The following table shows separately the interest sensitivity of
each category of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities as of
September 30, 2002:

(1) Interest earning assets are included in the period in which the balances are
expected to be repaid and/or repriced as a result of anticipated prepayments,
scheduled rate adjustments, and contractual maturities.
(2) Reflects principal maturing within the specified periods for fixed and
variable rate loans and includes nonperforming loans.
(3) Fixed rate loans include a portion of variable rate loans whose floors are
in effect at September 30, 2002.
(4) For purposes of gap analysis, other assets
include the allowance for possible loan loss, unamortized discount on purchased
loans and deferred fees on loans.
(5) Based on historical analysis, Money market and Savings deposits are assumed
to have rate sensitivity of 1 month; NOW account deposits are assumed to have a
rate sensitivity of 4 months.

The Company's exposure to interest rate risk is mitigated somewhat by a
portion of the Company's loan portfolio consisting of floating rate loans, which
are tied to the prime lending rate but which have interest rate floors and no
interest rate ceilings. Although the Company is originating fixed rate loans, a
portion of the loan portfolio continues to be comprised of floating rate loans
with interest rate floors.

ITEM 4 - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We maintain a system of controls and procedures designed to provide
reasonable assurance to the reliability of the financial statements and other
disclosures included in this report, as well as to safeguard assets from
unauthorized use or disposition. We evaluated the effectiveness of the design
and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures under the supervision
and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer, within 90 days prior to the filing date of this
report. Based upon that evaluation, our disclosure controls and procedures are
effective in timely alerting them to material information required to be
included in our periodic Securities and Exchange Commission filings. No
significant changes were made to our internal controls or other factors that
could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their
evaluation.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144 ("SFAS 144"), "Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." SFAS No. 144 retains the existing
requirements to recognize and measure the impairment of long-lived assets to be
held and used or to be disposed of by sale. However, SFAS No. 144 makes changes
to the scope and certain measurement requirements of existing accounting
guidance. SFAS No. 144 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2001. The adoption of this statement is not
expected to have a significant impact on the financial condition or results of
operations of the Company.
