PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

GENERAL

Univest Corporation of Pennsylvania ("Univest") is a Pennsylvania
corporation organized in 1973 and registered as a bank holding company pursuant
to the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956. Univest elected to become a Financial
Holding Company in 2000 as provided under Title I of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act.
It owns all of the capital stock of Union National Bank and Trust Company
("Union National Bank"), Pennview Savings Bank, Univest Realty Corporation,
Univest Leasing Corporation, Univest Delaware, Inc., Univest Financial Services
Corporation, Univest Reinsurance Corporation, and Univest Electronic Services
Corporation.

Union National Bank is engaged in the general commercial banking
business and provides a full range of banking services and trust services to its
customers. Pennview Savings Bank is engaged in attracting deposits from the
general public and investing such deposits primarily in loans secured by
residential properties and consumer loans. Delview, Inc., a wholly owned
subsidiary of Pennview, is a passive investment holding company operating in
Delaware. Univest Financial Services Corporation, a subsidiary of Delview,
provides various financial management services and insurance products to
individuals and businesses through its subsidiaries Univest Investments, Inc.
(formerly Fin Plan Group) and Univest Insurance, Inc. (formerly George Becker
Associates). Univest Insurance Inc. acquired Gum Insurance on December 3, 2001.
This will allow Univest Corporation to provide a broader range of insurance
products. Univest Investments, Inc. allows Univest Corporation to provide a
range of financial services including financial planning, investment management,
insurance products and brokerage services. Univest Realty Corporation was
established to obtain, hold and operate properties for the holding company and
its subsidiaries. Univest Delaware, Inc. is a passive investment holding company
operating in Delaware. Univest Leasing Corporation offers services of leasing
commercial, industrial, and institutional equipment to firms and individuals.
Univest Reinsurance Corporation (formerly Univest Insurance Company) offers
credit-related reinsurance plans. Univest Electronic Services Corporation was
established to provide data processing services to Union National Bank in
Souderton and other subsidiaries of Univest Corporation of Pennsylvania.

Union National Bank and Trust Company, with its head office in
Souderton, Montgomery County, serves the area through twenty-seven (27) banking
offices, five off-premise automated teller machines, one work site office and
provides banking and trust services to the residents and employees of ten
retirement homes. Sixteen banking offices are in Montgomery County and eleven
banking offices are in Bucks County. A work site office is located in Montgomery
County. Three off-premise automated teller machines are located in Montgomery
County and two are located in Bucks County.

Pennview Savings Bank conducts operations through five (5) full-service
offices located in Souderton, Hatfield, Franconia, Silverdale and
Montgomeryville, Pennsylvania and provides banking services to the residents and
employees of two retirement homes.

As of January 31, 2002, Univest and its subsidiaries employed four
hundred and ninety-two (492) persons.

COMPETITION

Univest's service areas are characterized by intense competition for
banking business among commercial banks, savings and loan associations, savings
banks and other financial institutions. Each of the Corporation's subsidiary
banks actively compete with such banks and financial institutions for local
retail and commercial accounts, in Bucks and Montgomery Counties, as well as
other financial institutions outside their primary service area.

In competing with other banks, savings and loan associations, and other
financial institutions, Union National Bank and Pennview Savings Bank seek to
provide personalized services through management's knowledge and awareness of
their service area, customers and borrowers.

2


Other competitors, including credit unions, consumer finance companies,
insurance companies and mutual funds, compete with certain lending and deposit
gathering services offered by Union National Bank, Pennview Savings Bank,
Univest Investments, Inc. and Univest Insurance Inc.

SUPERVISION AND REGULATION

Union National Bank is subject to supervision and is regularly examined
by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. Also, Union National Bank is
subject to examination by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and by the
Federal Reserve System. Pennview Savings Bank is regulated by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation and by the Department of Banking of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

Univest is subject to the provisions of the Bank Holding Company Act of
1956, as amended, and is registered pursuant to its provisions. Univest is
subject to the reporting requirements of the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System, and Univest, together with its subsidiaries, is subject to
examination by the Board. The Federal Reserve Act limits the amount of credit
that a member bank may extend to its affiliates, and the amount of its funds
that it may invest in or lend on the collateral of the securities of its
affiliates. Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, insured banks are subject
to the same limitations.

Univest elected to become a Financial Holding Company in 2000 as
provided under Title I of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act
provides a new regulatory framework for regulation through the financial holding
company, which has as its umbrella regulator the Federal Reserve Board. The
Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act requires "satisfactory" or higher Community Reinvestment
Act compliance for insured depository institutions and their financial holding
companies in order for them to engage in new financial activities. The
Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act provides a federal right to privacy of non-public
personal information of individual customers.


FDICIA

In December 1991, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement
Act ("FDICIA") was enacted, which substantially revised the bank regulatory and
funding provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and made revisions to
several other federal banking statutes.

Among other things, FDICIA requires the federal banking agencies to
take "prompt corrective action" in respect of depository institutions that do
not meet minimum capital requirements in order to minimize losses to the FDIC.
FDICIA establishes five capital tiers: "well-capitalized", "adequately
capitalized", "undercapitalized", "significantly undercapitalized", and
"critically undercapitalized" and imposes significant restrictions on the
operations of a bank that is not at least adequately capitalized. A depository
institution's capital tier will depend upon where its capital levels are in
relation to various relevant capital measures, which will include a risk-based
capital measure, a leverage ratio capital measure and certain other factors.
Under the requirements, Univest has Tier I capital ratios of 12.4% and 12.6%,
and total risk-based capital ratios of 13.6% and 13.9% at December 31, 2001 and
2000, respectively. These ratios place Univest in the "well-capitalized"
category under regulatory standards.

Regulations promulgated under FDICIA also require that an institution
monitor its capital levels closely and notify its appropriate federal banking
regulators within 15 days of any material events that affect the capital
position of the institution.

FDICIA directs that each federal banking agency prescribe standards for
depository institutions and depository institution holding companies relating to
internal controls, information systems, internal audit systems, loan
documentation, credit underwriting, interest rate exposure, asset growth, a
maximum ratio of classified assets to capital, minimum earnings sufficient to
absorb losses, a minimum ratio of market value to book value for publicly traded
shares (if feasible) and such other standards as the agency deems appropriate.

FDICIA also contains a variety of other provisions that affect the
operations of the Corporation, including new reporting requirements, regulatory
standards for real estate lending, "truth in savings" provisions, certain

3


restrictions on investments and activities of state-chartered insured banks and
their subsidiaries and limitations on credit exposure between banks.

Finally, FDICIA limits the discretion of the FDIC with respect to
deposit insurance coverage by requiring that, except in very limited
circumstances, the FDIC's course of action in resolving a problem bank must
constitute the "least costly resolution" for the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF") or
the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF"), as the case may be. The FDIC
has interpreted this standard as requiring it not to protect deposits exceeding
the $100,000 insurance limit in more situations than was previously the case. In
addition, FDICIA prohibits payments by the FDIC on uninsured deposits in foreign
branches of U.S. banks and will severely limit the "too big to fail" doctrine
under which the FDIC formerly protected deposits exceeding the $100,000
insurance limit in certain failed banking institutions.

Implementation of FDICIA has not had a material impact on the business
or operations of the Corporation.


CREDIT AND MONETARY POLICIES

Union National Bank is affected by the fiscal and monetary policies of
the federal government and its agencies, including the Federal Reserve System.
An important function of the policies is to curb inflation and control
recessions through control of the supply of money and credit. The Federal
Reserve System uses its powers to regulate reserve requirements of member banks,
the discount rate on member-bank borrowings, interest rates on time and savings
deposits of member banks, and to conduct open-market operations in United States
Government securities to exercise control over the supply of money and credit.
The policies have a direct effect on the amount of bank loans and deposits and
on the interest rates charged on loans and paid on deposits, with the result
that the policies have a material effect on bank earnings. Future policies of
the Federal Reserve Bank System and other authorities cannot be predicted, nor
can their effect on future bank earnings be predicted.

Pennview Savings Bank and Union National Bank are members of the
Federal Home Loan Bank System which consists of 12 regional Federal Home Loan
Banks, with each subject to supervision and regulation by the newly created
Federal Housing Finance Board. The Federal Home Loan Banks provide a central
credit facility primarily for member institutions. The Banks, as members of the
Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh, are required to acquire and hold shares of
capital stock in that Federal Home Loan Bank in an amount equal to at least 1%
of the aggregate principal amount of its unpaid residential mortgage loans, home
purchase contracts and similar obligations at the beginning of each year, or 5%
of its advances (borrowings) from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh,
whichever is greater.


INTERSTATE ACQUISITIONS

The Interstate Banking Act allows federal regulators to approve mergers
between adequately capitalized banks from different states regardless of whether
the transaction is prohibited under any state law, unless one of the banks' home
states has enacted a law expressly prohibiting out-of-state mergers before June
1997. This act also allows a state to permit out-of-state banks to establish and
operate new branches in this state. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has "opted
in" to this interstate merger provision. Therefore, the prior requirement that
interstate acquisitions would only be permitted when another state had
"reciprocal" legislation that allowed acquisitions by Pennsylvania-based bank
holding companies has been eliminated. The new Pennsylvania legislation,
however, retained the requirement that an acquisition of a Pennsylvania
institution by a Pennsylvania or a non-Pennsylvania-based holding company must
be approved by the Banking Department.

STATISTICAL DISCLOSURE

Univest was incorporated under Pennsylvania law in 1973 for the purpose
of acquiring the stock of Union National Bank and subsequently to engage in
other business activities permitted under the Bank Holding Company Act. On
September 28, 1973, pursuant to an exchange offer, Univest acquired the
outstanding stock of Union National Bank and on August 1, 1990 acquired the
stock of Pennview Savings Bank. Two new subsidiaries were incorporated on
September 8, 1998 in the State of Delaware. Univest Delaware, Inc. and Delview,
Inc. were formed as passive investment companies. Univest Delaware, Inc. is
wholly owned by the Corporation and Delview, Inc. is wholly owned by Pennview.
Univest Financial Services Corporation is wholly owned by Delview. Univest
Insurance, Inc., (formerly George Becker Associates), is wholly owned by Univest
Financial Service Corporation. Univest Insurance, Inc. acquired Gum Insurance on
December 31, 2001. This will allow Univest Corporation to provide a broader
range of insurance products. Univest Investments, Inc. (formerly Fin Plan Group)
is wholly owned by Univest Financial Services Corporation and allows Univest
Corporation to provide a range of financial services.

TABLE III. LOAN PORTFOLIO, PART B. MATURITIES AND SENSITIVITY TO CHANGES IN
INTEREST RATES
(Thousands of Dollars)

The commercial mortgages and Industrial Development Authority mortgages
that are presently being written at both fixed and floating rates of interest
are written for a three (3) year term with a monthly payment based on a fifteen
(15) year amortization schedule. At each three-year anniversary date of the
mortgages, the interest rate is renegotiated and the term of the loan is
extended for an additional three years. At each three-year anniversary date of
the mortgages, the Bank also has the right to require payment in full. These are
included in the "Due in One to Five Years" category on issue. The borrower has
the right to prepay the loan at any time.

The residential mortgages are presently being written on a one (1) or three
(3) year rollover basis. The monthly payment on these mortgages is based on a

TABLE III. LOAN PORTFOLIO, PART C. RISK ELEMENTS
(Thousands of Dollars)

NONACCRUAL, PAST-DUE AND RESTRUCTURED LOANS AND OTHER ASSETS

Performance of the entire loan portfolio is reviewed on a regular basis by
bank management and loan officers. A number of factors regarding the borrower,
such as overall financial strength, collateral values, and repayment ability,
are considered in deciding on what actions should be taken when determining the
collectibility of interest for accrual purposes.

POTENTIAL PROBLEM LOANS
When collectibility of interest and/or principal on a particular loan is
questionable, the loan is placed on nonaccrual status. If, at the time a
decision is made to cease accruing interest, it is determined that the
collection of previously accrued but unpaid interest is uncertain, a stipulated
amount is charged against current income. Conversly, if a loan on nonaccrual
status is paid in full, including interest, a credit is made to current income.
The total of nonaccruing and restructured loans in 2001 was $1,617. There was no
interest income recognized on these loans. If nonaccrual loans had been
performing in accordance with their contractual terms, additional income of $176
would have been recorded in 2001. At December 31, 2001, there were no other
potential problem loans that causes management to have serious doubts as to the
ability of the borrowers to comply with the present loan repayment terms. In
management's evaluation of the loan portfolio risks, any significant future
increases in nonperforming loans are dependent to a large extent on the economic
environment, or specific industry problems.

LOAN CONCENTRATIONS
At December 31, 2001, there were no concentrations of loans exceeding 10%
of total loans other than disclosed in Table III, Part A.

OTHER ASSETS
At December 31, 2001, there was no Other Real Estate Owned classified as
nonperforming.

TABLE IV. SUMMARY OF LOAN LOSS EXPERIENCE
(Thousands of Dollars)


Management's methodology to determine the adequacy of and the
provisions to the reserve considers specific credit reviews, past loan loss
experience, current economic conditions and trends, and the volume, growth, and
composition of the loan portfolio.

Reserve for possible loan losses is determined through a monthly
evaluation of reserve adequacy. Quarterly, this analysis takes into
consideration the growth of the loan portfolio, the status of past-due loans,
current economic conditions, various types of lending activity, policies, real
estate and other loan commitments, and significant changes in the charge-off
activity. Non-accrual loans are evaluated individually. All other loans are
evaluated as pools. Based on historical loss experience, loss factors are
determined giving consideration to the areas noted in the first paragraph and
applied to the pooled loan categories to develop the general or allocated
portion of reserve. Loans are also reviewed for impairment based on discounted
cash flows using the loans' initial effective interest rate or the fair value of
the collateral for certain collateral-dependent loans as provided under SFAS No.
114. Management also reviews the activity within the allowance to determine what
actions, if any, should be taken to address differences between estimated and
actual losses. Any of the above factors may cause the provision to fluctuate.

The reserve for possible loan losses is made up of the allocated or
general reserve and the unallocated portion. The following table summarizes the
two categories for the periods indicated.


DECEMBER 31,

2001 2000 1999
---- ---- ----

Allocated $ 8,920 $ 8,630 $ 8,786
Unallocated 1,374 1,578 1,918
-------- -------- ---------
Total $ 10,294 $ 10,208 $ 10,704
======== ======== ========


The $290,000 increase in the allocated portion of the reserve for the
year ended December 31, 2001 occurred due to higher reserves for growing loan
volume and migration of credit risk assessment towards weaker loan grades. Total
loan outstandings increased by 8.0% as moderate growth amongst retail portfolios
was accompanied by significant commercial portfolio growth of 11.6%. As weakness
in the economy became apparent in the latter part of the year, the proportion of
credits with identified credit issues also increased. The $204,000 reduction in
the unallocated reserve position was reflective of the strong credit quality and
favorable level of non-performing loans experienced throughout the first three
quarters of the year. Analysis of unallocated adequacy is based on a stress
testing model assessing loan grade migration as influenced by economic
conditions and grading accuracy.

The $156,000 decrease in the allocated portion of the reserve for the
year ended December 31, 2000 occurred as higher loan volume was more than offset
by the favorable impact of continuing portfolio quality improvements. Despite a
$13.6 million increase in Commercial & Industrial (C&I) loans, fewer dollars
were allocated to this loan pool due to a more favorable migration of losses
associated with Uncriticized C&I loans. Lower allocations were also recognized
for the residential mortgage, industry concentration and unfunded commitment
pools, each reflecting improved portfolio quality. These allocation reductions
combined to offset a rise in consumer installment allocations associated with
weakening consumer trends across the industry and the introduction of additional
risk in product offerings. The $340,000 reduction in the unallocated reserve
position reflects the diminishing potential of losses attributable to
Y2K-related business interruption, which offset consideration given to a stress
testing model designed to measure the impact of a slowing economy.


13


Management believes that both the allocated and unallocated portions of
the reserve are maintained at a level which is adequate to absorb potential
losses in the loan portfolio.

As the accompanying table indicates, the amount of loan loss provision
charged to expense for 2001 was $763 compared to $205 in 2000 and $1,052 in
1999.
