ROYAL BANCSHARES OF PENNSYLVANIA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Royal Bancshares of Pennsylvania, Inc. (the Company) and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries: Royal Equity Partners, Inc. and Royal Bank of
Pennsylvania (the Bank), Royal Real Estate of Pennsylvania, Inc., Royal
Investment of Pennsylvania, Inc. and its 60% ownership interest in Crusader
Servicing Corporation. These financial statements reflect the historical
information of the Company. All significant inter-company transactions and
balances have been eliminated.
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
information. The financial information included herein is unaudited;
however, such information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely
of normal recurring adjustments) that are, in opinion of management,
necessary to present a fair statement of the results for the interim
periods. These interim financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes
thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2003. The results of operations for the three-month period
ended March 31, 2004, are not necessarily indicative of the results, to
be expected for the full year.
2. Segment Information
The Company's community banking segment consists of commercial and
retail banking. The community banking business segment is managed as a
single strategic unit which generates revenue from a variety of
products and services provided by the Bank. For example, commercial
lending is dependent upon the ability of the Bank to fund itself with
retail deposits and other borrowings and to manage interest rate and
credit risk. The same is also true for consumer and residential
mortgage lending.
The Company's tax lien operation does not meet the quantitative
thresholds for requiring disclosure, but has different characteristics
to the community banking operation. The Company's tax lien operation
consists of purchasing delinquent tax certificates from local
municipalities at auction. The tax lien operation is managed as a
single strategic unit which generates revenue from a nominal interest
rate achieved at the individual auction along with periodic penalties
imposed.
The accounting policies used in this disclosure of business segments
are the same as those described in the summary of significant
accountings policies. The consolidating adjustments reflect certain
eliminations of inter-segment revenues, cash and investments in
subsidiaries.

3. Per Share Information
The Company follows the 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 2004 the Company declared a 2% stock dividend. All share and
per share information has been restated to reflect this dividend. Basic
and diluted EPS are calculated as follows (In thousands, except per

6. Non-performing loans
Loans on which the accrual of interest has been discontinued or reduced
amounted to approximately $10.0 million and $14.0 million at March 31,
2004 and 2003, respectively. Although the Company has non-performing
loans of approximately $10.0 million at March 31, 2004, management
believes it has adequate collateral to limit its credit risk with these
loans.
The balance of impaired loans which included the loans on which the
accrual of interest has been discontinued, was approximately $10.1
million and $14.1 million at March 31, 2004 and 2003, 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 $1.8 million at March 31,
2004. The income that was recognized on impaired loans during the
three-month period ended March 31, 2004 was $-0-. The cash collected on
impaired loans during the same period was $188 thousand of which $188
thousand 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.
7. Pension Plan
The Company has a noncontributory nonqualified defined benefit pension
plan covering certain eligible employees. The Company-sponsored pension
plan provides retirement benefits under pension trust agreements and
under contracts with insurance companies. The benefits are based on
years of service and the employee's compensation during the highest
consecutive years during the last 10 years of employment. The Company's
policy is to fund pension costs allowable for income tax purposes.
Net periodic defined benefit pension expense for the three months ended
March 31, 2004 and 2003 included the following components:
2004 2003
---- ----
Service cost 108 103
Interest cost 63 54
--- ---
Net periodic benefit cost 171 157
8. Stock-based Compensation
At March 31, 2004, the Company had both a director and employee
stock-based compensation plan. The Company accounts for the plan under
the recognition and measurement principals of APB No. 25, "Accounting
for Stock Issued to Employee, and related interpretations. Stock-based
employee compensation cost are not reflected in net income, as all
options granted under the plan had an exercise price equal to the
market value under the underlying common stock of the date of the
grant.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 148 "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation--Transition and Disclosure" ("SFAS No. 148") in December
2002. SFAS No. 148 amends the disclosure and certain transition
provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation". The new disclosure
provisions are effective for financial statements for fiscal years
ending after December 15, 2002 and financial reports containing
condensed financial statement for interim periods beginning after
December 15, 2002.
The following table provides the disclosure required by SFAS No. 148
and illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the
Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No.
123 to stock-based employee compensation.

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
March 31, 2004.
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

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES, JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES
The accounting and reporting policies of the company conform with
accounting principals generally accepted in the United States of America and
general practices within the financial services industry. The preparation of the
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 amounts reported in the financial statements and the
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Allowance for Credit Losses
The company considers that the determination of the allowance for loan
losses involves a higher degree of judgment and complexity than its other
significant accounting policies. The balance in the allowance for loan losses is
determined based on management's review and evaluation of the loan portfolio in
relation to past loss experience, the size and composition of the portfolio,
current economic events and conditions, and other pertinent factors, including
management's assumptions as to future delinquencies, recoveries and losses. All
of these factors may be susceptible to significant change. To the extent actual
outcomes differ from managements estimates, additional provisions for loan
losses may be required that would adversely impact earnings in future periods.
Income Taxes
Under the liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are
determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis
of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are subject to managements'
judgment based upon available evidence that future realization is more likely
than not. If management determines that the company may be unable to realize all
or part of the net deferred tax assets in the future, a direct charge to income
tax expense may be required to reduce the recorded value of net deferred tax
assets to the expected realizable amount.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Total consolidated assets as of March 31, 2004 were $1,216 million, an
increase of $62 million from the $1,154 million reported at year-end, December
31, 2003. This increase is primarily due to $58 million of assets relating to
investments in real estate partnerships that are now being consolidated as a
result of FIN 46(R). Previously these investments were accounted for under the
equity method of accounting.
Total loans decreased $25.4 million from the $515.7 million level at
December 31, 2003 to $490.3 million at March 31, 2004. 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 $489.0 million at March 31, 2004.
The allowance for loan loss increased $41 thousand to $12.5 million at
March 31, 2004 from $12.4 million at December 31, 2003. The level of allowance
for loan loss reserve represents approximately 2.5% of total loans at March 31,
2004 versus 2.4% at December 31, 2003. 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 $45.0 million decrease in total investment securities is primarily
attributable to agency callable bonds that exercised the call feature at the end
of the quarter.
Total cash and cash equivalents increased $68.7 million from the $25.1
million level at December 31, 2003 to $93.8 million at March 31, 2004.
Total deposits, the primary source of funds, decreased $1.6 million to
$789.5 million at March 31, 2004, from $791.1 million at December 31, 2003. The
balance of brokered deposits was $78.1 million, representing approximately 10%
of total deposits at March 31, 2004. 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.
Total borrowings increased $53.8 million to $265.8 million at March 31,
2004, from $212.0 million at December 31, 2003. This increase is primarily
attributed to the consolidation of investments in real estate partnerships as a
result of FIN 46(R). In the balance at March 31, 2004, includes $53.8 million of
borrowings that are not an obligation nor guaranteed by the company.
Consolidated stockholder's equity increased $4.0 million to $138.8
million at March 31, 2004 from $134.8 million at December 31, 2003. This
increase is primarily due to net income of $5.2 million, partially offset by
quarterly cash dividends totaling $3.0 million. Additionally, stockholders'
equity increased by $1.8 million due to an adjustment in the market value of
available-for-sale investment securities during the first three months of 2004.
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, March 31, 2004 was
$5.2 million or $.42 basic earnings per share, as compared to net income of $4.4
million or $.36 basic earnings per share for the same three month period in
2003.
For the first quarter 2004, net interest income was $10.8 million as
compared to $10.4 million for the same quarter in 2003, an increase of $394
thousand, or 4%. This increase is primarily due to a reduction in costs related
to deposits and borrowings for the first quarter 2004 as compared to the same
period in 2003. Interest income on loans decreased $1.6 million for the first
quarter of 2004 versus 2003 primarily due to a decrease in the average balance
of loans during the same period. Interest income on investment securities
increased $615 thousand, a 10% increase over the same three-month period in
2003, which is primarily due to the larger average balance in investment
securities held during the quarter. Total interest expense on deposits and
borrowings decreased $1.3 million to $6.7 million as compared to $8.0 million
for the same three-month period in 2003. This decrease in interest expense is
primarily due the reduction of interest rates on deposits and borrowings.
Provision for loan losses was $1 thousand for the first quarter of 2004
and $150 for the same three-month period in 2003. Charge-offs and recoveries
were $57 thousand and $96 thousand respectively. Overall, management considers
the current level of allowance for loan loss to be adequate at March 31, 2004.
Total non-interest income for the three-month period ended March 31,
2004 was $3.2 million as compared to $624 thousand for the same three-month
period in 2003. The $2.6 million increase in 2003 is primarily due a $1.9
million addition from the consolidation as a result of FIN 46(R) and the
purchase of Bank Owned Life Insurance during the fourth quarter of 2003.
Total non-interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2004
was $6.6 million, an increase of $2.1 million, as compared to $4.5 million for
the same period in 2003. The increase is primarily attributed to the $1.6
million addition from the consolidation as a result of FIN 46(R).
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 March 31, 2004, 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:
MARCH 31, 2004 DECEMBER 31, 2003
-------------- -----------------
CAPITAL LEVELS
Tier 1 leverage ratio 11.7% 11.1%
Tier 1 risk-based ratio 16.2% 15.3%
Total risk-based ratio 17.5% 16.5%
CAPITAL PERFORMANCE
Return on average assets 1.8% (1) 1.6% (1)
Return on average equity 15.0% (1) 14.5% (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 70%
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
March 31, 2004:

(1) The $53.8 in borrowings classified as non-rate sensitive are related to
variable interest entities and are not obligations of the Company.
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 January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation
of Variable Interest Entities (FIN 46). In general, a variable interest entity
is a corporation, partnership, trust or any other legal structures used for
business purposes that either (a) does not have equity investors with voting
rights or (b) has equity investors that do not provide sufficient financial
resources for the entity to support its activities. FIN 46 requires certain
variable interest entities to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary if the
investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or
do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities
without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. The
consolidation requirements of FIN 46 apply immediately to interest entities
created after January 31, 2003. In December 2003, the FASB issued FIN 46(R) with
respect to variable interest entities created before January 31, 2003, which
among other things revised the implementation date to the first fiscal year or
interim period ended after March 15, 2004, with the exception of Special Purpose
Entities (SPE). The Company currently has no SPEs. The Company adopted the
provisions of FIN 46(R) effective for the period ending March 31, 2004, which
required the Company to consolidate its investment in real estate partnerships
for the first quarter of 2004. Prior to FIN 46 and 46(R), the Company accounted
for its investment in the real estate partnerships under the equity method of
accounting. The Company's investment in real estate partnerships is discussed
further in Note 9. The SEC recently released Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 105,
Application of Accounting Principles to Loan Commitments. SAB 105 provides
guidance about the measurements of loan commitments recognized at fair value
under FASB Statement No. 133, Accountings for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities. SAB 105 also requires companies to disclose their accounting policy
for those loan commitments including methods and assumptions used to estimate
fair value and associated hedging strategies. SAB 105 is effective for all loan
commitments accounted for as derivatives that are entered into after March 31,
2004. The adoption of SAB 105 is not expected to have a material effect on our
consolidated financial statements.
On March 31, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
issued a proposed Statement, Share-Based Payment an Amendment of FASB Statements
No. 123 and APB No. 95, that addresses the accounting for share-based payment
transactions in which an enterprise receives employee services in exchange for
(a) equity instruments of the enterprise or (b) liabilities that are based on
the fair value of the enterprise's equity instruments or that may be settled by
the issuance of such equity instruments. Under the FASB's proposal, all forms of
share-based payments to employees, including employee stock options, would be
treated the same as other forms of compensation by recognizing the related cost
in the income statement. The expense of the award would generally be measured at
fair value at the grant date. Current accounting guidance requires that the
expense relating to so called fixed plan employee stock options only be
disclosed in the footnotes to the financial statements. The proposed Statement
would eliminate the ability to account for share-based compensation transactions
using APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. The Company
is currently evaluating this proposed statement and its effects on its results
of operations.
