ROYAL BANCSHARES OF PENNSYLVANIA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Financial Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Royal
Bancshares of Pennsylvania, Inc. (Royal Bancshares or the Company) and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries, Royal Investments of Delaware, Inc., including Royal Investments of Delaware, Inc.s
wholly owned subsidiary, Royal Preferred, LLC, and Royal Bank America (Royal Bank), including
Royal Banks subsidiaries, Royal Real Estate of Pennsylvania, Inc., Royal Investments America, LLC,
RBA Property LLC, Narberth Property Acquisition LLC, Rio Marina LLC, and its three 60% ownership
interests in Crusader Servicing Corporation, Royal Tax Lien Services, LLC, and Royal Bank America
Leasing, LP. During the fourth quarter of 2010, the Companys wholly-owned subsidiary, Royal
Captive Insurance, was dissolved. On December 30, 2010, the Company completed the sale of all of
the outstanding common stock of Royal Asian Bank (Royal Asian), a wholly-owned subsidiary, to an
investor group led by Royal Asians President and Chief Executive Officer. Royal Asian recorded a
loss of $995,000 in the first quarter of 2010. The two Delaware trusts, Royal Bancshares Capital
Trust I and Royal Bancshares Capital Trust II are not consolidated per requirements under Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 810,
Consolidation (ASC Topic 810). These consolidated financial statements reflect the historical
information of the Company. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been
eliminated.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) for interim
financial information. Applications of the principles in the Companys preparation of the
consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP require management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and the
accompanying notes. These estimates and assumptions are based on information available as of the
date of the consolidated financial statements; therefore, actual results could differ from those
estimates. The interim financial information included herein is unaudited; however, such
information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) that are,
in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of the results for the interim
periods. These interim consolidated 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, 2010. The results of operations for the three month period ended
March 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Accounting Policies Recently Adopted and Pending Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) No. 2010-06, Improving
Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements (ASU 2010-06), which updates ASC Topic 820 Fair Value
Measurements and Disclosures. ASU 2010-06 is intended to provide a greater level of disaggregated
information and more robust disclosures about valuation techniques and inputs to fair value
measurements. A reporting entity should disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in
and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers.
Additionally, a reporting entity should provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and
inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements.
Those disclosures are required for fair value measurements that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3.
The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for interim and annual
reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009. The disclosures about purchases, sales,
issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements were
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those
fiscal years. The adoption of ASU 2010-06 did not have a significant impact on the Companys
consolidated financial statements.
In July 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-20, Receivables (Topic 310): Disclosures about the
Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses (ASU 2010-20), which
is intended to help
-6-
investors assess the credit risk of a companys receivables portfolio and the adequacy of its
allowance for credit losses held against the portfolios by expanding credit risk disclosures.
(ASU 2010-20) requires more information about the credit quality of financing receivables in the
disclosures to financial statements, such as aging information and credit quality indicators. Both
new and existing disclosures must be disaggregated by portfolio segment or class. The
disaggregation of information is based on how a company develops its allowance for credit losses
and how it manages its credit exposure. The disclosure requirements as of December 31, 2010 are
included in Note 4 Loans and Leases and Note 5 Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses to the
Consolidated Financial Statements. Disclosures about activity that occurs during a reporting
period were effective in the interim reporting period ending March 31, 2011.
In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-002, A Creditors Determination of Whether a Restructuring
Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring (ASU 2011-002) which is intended to amend guidance related to
troubled debt restructurings (TDRs). ASU 2011-002 provides additional guidance to assist
creditors in concluding whether the restructuring has granted a concession to the borrower and that
the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties. ASU 2011-002 is effective for public entities
for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011, and should be applied
retrospectively to the beginning of the annual period of adoption. The adoption of ASU 2011-002 is
not expected to have a significant impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
Note 2. Regulatory Matters and Significant Risks or Uncertainties
FDIC Orders
On July 15, 2009, Royal Bank agreed to enter into a Stipulation and Consent to the Issuance of an
Order to Cease and Desist (the Orders) with each of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
(FDIC) and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Department of Banking (Department). The material
terms of the Orders are identical and require Royal Bank to: (i) have and retain qualified
management, and notify the FDIC and the Department of any changes in Royal Banks board of
directors or senior management; (ii) increase participation of Royal Banks board of directors in
Royal Banks affairs by having the board assume full responsibility for approving Royal Banks
policies and objectives and for supervising Royal Banks management; (iii) eliminate all assets
classified as Loss and formulate a written plan to reduce assets classified as Doubtful and
Substandard at its regulatory examination; (iv) develop a written plan to reduce delinquent
loans, and restrict additional advances to borrowers with existing credits classified as Loss,
Doubtful or Substandard; (v) develop a written plan to reduce Royal Banks commercial real
estate loan concentration; (vi) maintain, after establishing an adequate allowance for loan and
lease losses, a ratio of Tier 1 capital to total assets (leverage ratio) equal to or greater than

Royal Bank created a Regulatory Compliance Committee comprised of outside directors and management
in the third quarter of 2009. The purpose of the Committee is to monitor compliance with the
Orders. Royal Bank has submitted an internal assessment of senior managements qualifications
report to the FDIC and the Department. Additionally Royal Bank has submitted plans for reducing
classified assets, reducing delinquencies, reducing commercial real estate concentrations,
liquidity and funds management, and reducing non-core deposits and whole-sale funding sources.
Royal Bank had submitted a 2010 budget plan, a 2010 strategic plan and a compensation plan. All
plans have been approved by the FDIC and the Department where required. In the first quarter of
2011, Royal Bank submitted a strategic plan and a budget plan for 2011 to the FDIC and the
Department for their review.
Royal Bank has submitted all required quarterly reports to the FDIC and the Department detailing
the actions taken to maintain compliance with the Orders as of the date of this Report.
Federal Reserve Agreement
On March 17, 2010, the Company agreed to enter into a Written Agreement (the Federal Reserve
Agreement) with the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia (the Reserve Bank). The material terms
of the Federal Reserve Agreement provide that: (i) the Companys board of directors will take
appropriate steps to fully utilize the Companys financial and managerial resources to serve as a
source of strength to its subsidiary banks, including taking steps to ensure that Royal Bank
complies with the Orders previously entered into with the FDIC and the Department on July 15, 2009;
(ii) the Companys board of directors will, within 60 days of the Federal Reserve Agreement, submit
to the Reserve Bank a written plan to strengthen board oversight of the management and operations
of the consolidated operation; (iii) the Company will not declare or pay any dividends without the
prior written approval of the Reserve Bank and the Director of the Division of Banking Supervision
and Regulation of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; (iv) the Company and its
non-bank subsidiaries will not make any distributions of interest, principal, or other sums on
subordinated debentures or trust preferred securities without the prior approval of the Reserve
Bank and the Director of the Division of Banking Supervision and Regulation of the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System; (v) the Company and its nonbank subsidiaries will not,
directly or indirectly, incur, increase, or guarantee any debt without the prior written approval
of the Reserve Bank; (vi) the Company will not, directly or indirectly, purchase or redeem any
shares of its stock without the prior written approval of the Reserve Bank; (vii) the Company will,
within 60 days of the Federal Reserve Agreement, submit to the Reserve Bank an acceptable written
capital plan to maintain sufficient capital at the Company on a consolidated basis, which plan will
at a minimum address: regulatory requirements for the Company and the Banks, the adequacy of the
Banks capital taking into account the volume of classified credits, the allowance for loan and
lease losses, current and projected asset growth, and projected retained earnings; the source and
timing of additional funds necessary to fulfill the consolidated organizations and the Banks
future capital requirements; supervisory requests for additional capital at the Banks or the
requirements of any supervisory action imposed on the Banks by federal or state regulators; and
applicable legal requirements that the Company serve as a source of strength to the Banks; (viii)
the Company will, within 60 days of the Federal Reserve Agreement, submit to the Reserve Bank cash
flow projections for 2010 showing planned sources and uses of cash for debt service, operating
expenses, and other purposes, and will submit similar cash flow projections for each subsequent
calendar year at least one month prior to the beginning of such year; (ix) the Company will comply
with applicable legal notice provisions in advance of appointing any new director or senior
executive officer or changing the responsibilities of any senior executive officer such that the
officer would assume a different senior executive officer position, and comply with restrictions on
indemnification and severance payments imposed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Act; and (x) the
Companys board of directors will, within 30 days after the end of each quarter, submit progress
reports to the Reserve Bank detailing the form and manner of all actions taken to secure compliance
with the Agreement and the results thereof, together with a parent company-level balance sheet,
income statement, and, as applicable, report of changes in shareholders equity.
The Federal Reserve Agreement will remain in effect and enforceable until stayed, modified,
terminated or suspended by the Reserve Bank. Royal Bancshares has submitted all progress reports
and responses required under the Federal Reserve Agreement as of the
date of this Report. In April 2011, with
respect to the capital plan submissions by the Company to the Reserve Bank, the Reserve Bank has
advised the Company that it will not approve a capital plan until such time as the Company is able
to successfully raise additional capital and/or substantially reduce its risk profile, or is able
to offer credible assurances that the Company will be able to raise capital or reduce its risk
profile.
-8-
Our success as a Company is dependent upon pursuing various alternatives in not only achieving the
growth and expansion of our banking franchise but also in managing our day to day operations. The
existence of the Orders and the Federal Reserve Agreement may limit or impact our ability to pursue
all previously available alternatives in the management of the Company. Our ability to retain
existing retail and commercial customers as well as the ability to attract potentially new
customers may be impacted by the existence of the Orders and the Federal Reserve Agreement. The
Company has been successful in commercial real estate lending; however, our ability to expand into
potentially attractive commercial real estate or construction loans at this time is limited. The
Companys ability to raise capital in the current economic environment could be potentially limited
or impacted as a result of the Orders. Attracting new management talent is critical to the success
of our business and could be potentially impacted due to the existence of the Orders and the
Federal Reserve Agreement. At March 31, 2011, the Company and
Royal Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which it is
subject.
Continued Losses
Over the past thirteen quarters, the Company has recorded significant losses totaling $96.9 million
($1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and
$24.1 million, $33.2 million and $38.1 million for the
years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively) which were primarily related to charge-offs on the loan and lease portfolio, impairment charges on
investment securities, and the establishment of a deferred tax valuation allowance. The
year-over-year decrease in losses was mainly related to the reduction in other-than-temporary
impairment (OTTI) on investment securities. As a result of these losses, the Company has
negative retained earnings of $93.4 million at March 31,
2011. Also contributing to the negative retained earnings were the
cash and stock dividends declared and paid in previous years. In addition to reducing the total
shareholders equity, the continued losses and negative retained earnings impact the Companys
ability to pay cash dividends to its shareholders now and in future years.
The deterioration of the real estate market over the past few years has significantly impacted the
Companys loan portfolio which has a high concentration of real estate secured loans. Net loan
charge-offs were $165,000 and $3.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010,
respectively, and $30.4 million, $19.2 million, and $12.2 million for the years ended 2010, 2009,
and 2008, respectively. The $2.1 million provision for loan and lease losses for the first quarter
of 2011 was primarily attributable to a $2.6 million increase in specific reserves on impaired
loans. The provision for loan and lease losses for the first quarter of 2010 was $1.9 million, of
which $1.0 million was attributable to Royal Asian. The level of charge-offs was the primary reason
for the significant provision for loan and lease losses of $22.1 million, $20.6 million, and $21.8
million that were recorded in 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively. Non-performing loans held for
investment (LHFI) totaled $43.5 million at March 31, 2011 compared to $43.2 million at December
31, 2010, $73.7 million at December 31, 2009 and $85.8 million at December 31, 2008. Total
non-performing loans at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were $65.1 million and $65.8 million,
respectively, and include $21.6 million and $22.6 million in loans held for sale (LHFS),
respectively.
For the three months ended March 31, 2011 the Company did not record OTTI losses on the investment
portfolio. OTTI losses were $176,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The investment
impairment charges totaled $479,000, $11.0 million, and $23.4 million in 2010, 2009, and 2008,
respectively. As evidenced by the significant reduction in impairment charges, the Company has
reduced the credit risk within its investment portfolio. This was accomplished by taking advantage
of opportunities to sell investments that had potential credit risk for minimal losses as well as
instituting new policy guidelines regarding types of investments, as well as limits on the amount
of each type of investment.
The establishment of a deferred tax valuation allowance resulted in a $15.5 million non-cash charge
to the consolidated statement of operations in 2008. This was a result of managements conclusion
that it was more likely than not that the Company would not generate sufficient future taxable
income to realize all of the deferred tax assets. Subsequent additions to the allowance have
resulted in a deferred tax valuation allowance of $33.5 million at March 31, 2011.
In addition to the losses mentioned above, the Company has experienced an increase in other
operating expenses over the past three years. These increased expenses include OREO impairment
charges, OREO expenses, and legal and other expenses related to credit quality. Impairment charges
related to real estate owned via equity investments totaled $2.6 million, $0, and $1.5 million in
2010, 2009, and 2008 respectively. There was no further impairment in the first quarter of 2011.
Also included in other operating expenses are FDIC and state assessments which totaled $3.0 million, $3.8 million, and $658,000
in 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively. As a result of the reduction of deposits in 2010, largely
related to
-9-
the decline in brokered deposits, the FDIC assessment decreased in 2010. The FDIC assessment for
the first quarter of 2011 amounted to $503,000, which results in a decline year over year on an
annualized basis.
Credit Quality
The Companys success significantly depends on the growth in population, income levels, loans and
deposits and on the continued stability in real estate values in our markets. If the communities
in which we operate do not grow or if prevailing economic conditions locally or nationally are
unfavorable, our business may be adversely affected. Adverse economic conditions in our specific
market areas, specifically decreases in real estate property values due to the nature of our loan
portfolio could reduce our growth rate, affect the ability of customers to repay their loans and
generally affect our financial condition and results of operations. Many industries have been
impacted by the effects of the economic conditions over the past three years, with
financial services, housing and commercial real estate being hit particularly hard. The Companys loan and investment
portfolios were directly affected. The Companys commercial real estate loans, including
construction and land development loans, have seen a decline in the collateral values, and a
reduction in the borrowers ability to meet the payment terms of their loans due to reduced cash
flow. Further declines in collateral values and borrowers liquidity with sustained unemployment
at current levels may lead to increases in foreclosures, delinquencies and customer bankruptcies.
The Company is less able than a larger institution to spread the risks of unfavorable local
economic conditions across a large number of more diverse economies.
Our allowance for loan and lease losses is based on our historical loss experience as well as an
evaluation of the risks associated with our loan portfolio, including the size and composition of
the loan portfolio, current economic conditions and trends in delinquencies and non-performing
loans within the portfolio. Our allowance for loan and lease losses may not be adequate to cover
actual loan and lease losses and future provisions for loan and lease losses could materially and
adversely affect our financial results.
The Company had non-performing loans of $65.1 million ($43.5 million in LHFI and $21.6 million in
LHFS) at March 31, 2011. Non-performing loans were $65.8 million ($43.2 million in LHFI and $22.6
million in LHFS), $73.7 million, and $85.8 million at December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008,
respectively. The Company recorded $177,000 in charge-offs for the first quarter of 2011 compared
to $3.7 million in charge-offs for the first quarter of 2010. Charge-offs recorded for the years
ended 2010, 2009, and 2008 were $31.7 million, $19.8 million, and $12.3 million, respectively.
OREO balances were $30.7 million at March 31, 2011 and $29.2 million, $30.3 million, and $10.3
million at December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively.
The Company signed a letter of intent in the first quarter of 2011 to sell a pool of $54.1 million
of classified assets in a bulk sale, which included $30.3 million of non-performing loans, $10.8
million of classified accruing loans and $13.0 million of OREO properties. The proposed asset pool
sale resulted in an additional loss of $14.2 million during the fourth quarter of 2010. The lower
of cost or fair market value of the loans transferred to LHFS was $29.6 million, which included
$22.6 million in non-performing loans and $7.0 million in classified loans, after recording credit
losses of $11.4 million. In addition, the Company recorded an OREO impairment charge of $2.8
million to reflect the projected sales price of the properties included in the sale. The pending
sale was expected to close in the second quarter of 2011; however, the Company was unable to arrive
at a mutually satisfactory purchase and sale agreement with the prospective purchaser and recently
terminated negotiations. The Company has initiated plans to market and sell the assets within the
pool to other bulk and individual buyers to facilitate the reduction of classified assets and
improve the credit quality of the loan portfolio.
In accordance with the Orders, Royal Bank has eliminated from the balance sheet via charge-off all
assets classified as Loss. Royal Bank was successful in reducing classified assets, which
includes LHFS and OREO, from $149.6 million at June 30, 2009 to $109.1 million at March 31, 2011.
Royal Banks delinquent loans (30 to 90 days) amounted to $36.3 million at June
30, 2009 versus $9.7 million at March 31, 2011. No material advances were made on any classified or
delinquent loan unless approved by the board of directors and determined to be in Royal Banks best
interest. The Company has restructured the investment portfolio to reduce credit risk by selling
corporate debt securities and equity securities and replacing their maturities with U.S. government
issued or sponsored securities. For the three months ended March 31, 2011 the Company did not
record OTTI losses on the investment portfolio compared to $176,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 2010. Year-
-10-
over-year OTTI losses have decreased from $23.4 million at December 31, 2008 to $11.0 million at December 31, 2009
to $479,000 at December 31, 2010.
Commercial Real Estate Concentrations
As mentioned previously the adverse economic conditions have primarily impacted the real estate
secured loan portfolio. Non-residential real estate and construction and development loans are
often riskier and tend to have significantly larger balances than home equity loans or residential
mortgage loans to individuals. While the Company believes that the commercial real estate
concentration risk is mitigated by diversification among the types and characteristics of real
estate collateral properties, sound underwriting practices, and ongoing portfolio monitoring and
market analysis, the repayments of these loans usually depend on the successful operation of a
business or the sale of the underlying property. As a result, these loans are more likely to be
unfavorably affected by adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy in general.
The remaining loans in the portfolio are commercial or industrial loans. These loans are
collateralized by various business assets the value of which may decline during adverse market and
economic conditions. Adverse conditions in the real estate market and the economy may result in
increasing levels of loan charge-offs and non-performing assets and the reduction of earnings. When
we take collateral in foreclosures and similar proceedings, we are required to mark the related
asset to the fair market value of the collateral, which may ultimately result in a loss. It is
possible that Royal Bank may be required to maintain higher levels of capital than it would be
otherwise be expected to maintain as a result of the Banks commercial real estate loans, which may
require the Company to obtain additional capital.
Management has been working diligently to reduce the concentration in commercial real estate loans
(CRE loans). Our non-residential real estate and construction and land development loan portfolio
held for investment was $272.7 million at March 31, 2011 comprising 59% of total loans compared to
$284.1 million or 57% of total loans at December 31, 2010. Royal Bank was successful in reducing
the CRE concentration, which includes loans held for sale from $289.1 million at June 30, 2009 to
$204.7 million at March 31, 2011, which amounted to 200.9% of total capital and 218.2% of Tier 1
capital. At March 31, 2011, total construction/land loans (CL loans) including loans held for
sale amounted to $87.7 million, or 86.1%, of total capital and 93.5% of Tier 1 capital. Based on
capital levels calculated under U.S. GAAP, Royal Bank no longer has a concentration of commercial
real estate loans as defined in the Guidance. Based on capital levels calculated under regulatory
accounting principles (RAP) (see discussion under Note 11 Regulatory Capital Requirements to
the Consolidated Financial Statements), CRE loans and CL loans as a percentage of total capital and
Tier 1 capital, respectively, are 232.5%, 255.4%, 99.6% and 109.4%. Under RAP, Royal Bank does not
have a concentration in CL loans as defined in the Guidance. Included in the figures above are
loans held for sale as of March 31, 2011.
Balance Sheet Reduction (Deleveraging)
During the past 21 months, Royal Bank has continued to record losses in earnings, which have
negatively impacted its capital ratios. The Company implemented a strategy to mitigate this impact
to the capital ratios through the reduction of the balance sheet (deleveraging). The balance sheet
deleveraging was accomplished primarily through the run off of maturing brokered certificates of deposit (CDs) and FHLB
borrowings as required under the Orders by reducing the balances of cash, investment securities and
loans. This strategy of reducing the size of the balance sheet has provided greater use of the
existing capital despite the continued loss of income by maintaining that capital ratio as a
percentage of the remaining reduced level of assets in order to achieve capital ratios at required
regulatory levels. The Company recognizes that deleveraging will also potentially have a negative
impact on future earnings, but will provide a short-term benefit to capital levels.
The deleveraging of the balance sheet over the past 21 months resulted from paying off FHLB
advances and the run off of brokered CDs totaling $300.3 million within Royal Bank. The Company
does not plan to roll over maturing brokered CDs during the remainder of 2011. As part of the
restructuring of the investment portfolio, the Company also reduced the investment portfolio by
approximately $122 million during 2010, which is almost entirely within Royal Bank and an
additional $12.3 million during the first quarter of 2011. At year end 2010, loans had declined by
approximately $116 million, with an additional decline of $35.5 million in the first quarter of
2011 due to pay downs of principal, payoffs, charge-offs and transfers to OREO.
-11-
Liquidity and Funds Management
Royal Bank may not accept new brokered deposits and has limited capacity to borrow additional funds
in the event it is needed for liquidity purposes. However, Royal Bank has continued to maintain
liquidity measures that are more than two times the target levels. As discussed in Note 8
Borrowings and Subordinated Debentures to the Consolidated Financial Statements, Royal Bank has an
over collateralized delivery requirement of 105% with the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) as a
result of the level of non-performing assets and the losses that have been experienced over the
past three years. The ability to borrow additional funds is based on the amount of collateral
that is available to be pledged. As of March 31, 2011, Royal Bank had approximately $32 million of
available borrowing capacity at the FHLB as a result of excess collateral that has been pledged.
In addition, Royal Bank has approximately $97 million of unpledged agency securities that are
available to be pledged as collateral if needed. Royal Bank also has limited availability to
borrow from the Federal Reserve Discount Window. The availability, which is approximately $7
million at March 31, 2011, is based on collateral pledged.
At March 31, 2011, Royal Bank had $52.1 million in cash on hand and $97.3 million in unpledged
agency securities. At March 31, 2011, the liquidity to deposits ratio was 32.4% compared to Royal
Banks 12% policy target and the liquidity to total liabilities ratio was 24.7% compared to Royal
Banks 10% policy target. Since entering the Orders Royal Bank has not renewed, accepted, or
rolled over any maturing brokered CDs; nor has Royal Bank issued new
brokered CDs. Brokered CDs declined $171.3 million from $226.9 million at June 30, 2009 to $55.6
million at March 31, 2011. Borrowings declined $130.7 million from $283.9 million at June 30, 2009
to $153.2 million at March 31, 2011.
The Company also has unfunded pension plan obligations of $12.6 million as of March 31, 2011 which
potentially could impact liquidity. The Company plans to fund the pension plan obligations through
existing Company owned life insurance policies.
Dividend and Interest Restrictions
Due to the Orders and the Federal Reserve Agreement, our ability to obtain lines of credit, to
receive attractive collateral treatment from funding sources, and to pursue all attractive funding
alternatives in this current low interest rate environment could be impacted and thereby limit
liquidity alternatives. On August 13, 2009, the Companys board of directors determined to suspend
regular quarterly cash dividends on the $30.4 million in Series A Preferred Stock and to suspend
interest payments on the $25.8 million in trust preferred securities. As of March 31, 2011, the
Series A Preferred stock dividend in arrears was
$2.8 million and has not been recognized in the
consolidated financial statements. As of March 31, 2011 the trust preferred interest payment in
arrears was $1.3 million and has been recorded in interest expense and accrued interest payable.
The decision to suspend the preferred cash dividends and the trust preferred interest payments
better supports the capital position of Royal Bank. As a consequence of missing the sixth dividend
payment in the fourth quarter of 2010, the Treasury has the right to appoint two directors to our
board of directors until all accrued but unpaid dividends have been paid.
At March 31, 2011, as a result of significant losses within Royal Bank, the Company had negative
retained earnings and therefore would not have been able to declare and pay any cash dividends.
Under the Orders, Royal Bank must receive prior approval from the FDIC and the Department before
declaring and paying a dividend to the Company. Under the Federal Reserve Agreement the Company
may not declare or pay any dividends without the prior written approval of the Reserve Bank and the
Director of the Division of Banking Supervision and Regulation of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System.
Capital Adequacy
In connection with a recent bank regulatory examination, the FDIC concluded, based upon its
interpretation of the Consolidated Reports of Condition and Income (the Call Report) instructions
and under RAP, that income from Royal Banks tax lien business should be recognized on a cash
basis, not an accrual basis. Royal Banks current accrual method is in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Royal Bank disagrees with the FDICs conclusion and filed the Call Report for March 31, 2011,
December 31, 2010, and September 30, 2010 in accordance with U.S. GAAP. However, the change in the
manner of revenue recognition for the tax lien business for regulatory accounting
-12-
purposes affects Royal Banks and the Companys capital ratios as disclosed in Note 11 -
Regulatory Capital Requirements to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Royal Bank is in
discussions with the FDIC to resolve the difference of opinion.
Under the Orders, Royal Bank must maintain a minimum total risk-based capital ratio and a minimum
Tier 1 leverage ratio of 12% and 8%, respectively. At March 31, 2011, based on capital levels
calculated under RAP, Royal Banks total risk-based capital and Tier 1 leverage ratios were 14.25%
and 8.65%, respectively. As of March 31, 2011, the Company and Royal Bank met all capital adequacy
requirements to which it is subject.
Department of Justice Investigation (DOJ)
On March 4, 2009, each of CSC and RTL received a grand jury subpoena issued by the U.S. District
Court for New Jersey upon application of the Antitrust Division of
the DOJ. The subpoena sought certain documents and information relating to an ongoing investigation being conducted by the DOJ.
It is possible that the outcome of the investigation could result in fines and penalties being
assessed against both CSC and RTL, which could also result in reputational risk due to negative
publicity. However Royal Bank has been advised that neither CSC nor RTL are targets of the DOJ
investigation, but they are subjects of the investigation and therefore the Company has concluded
that it is unlikely that a contingent liability exists. Royal Bank, CSC and RTL are cooperating in
the investigation.
Management Plans
The Company was successful during the past year in reducing the cost of funds, which improved the
net interest margin; in completing the sale of Royal Asian, which permitted the Company to
contribute additional capital of $10.3 million to Royal Bank; in minimizing investment impairment,
recouping $1.7 million of the $5.0 million collateral loss associated with the collapse of Lehman
in 2008; and in addressing the matters set forth in the Orders, which included maintaining required
capital ratios and liquidity measures. During the first quarter of 2011, the Company signed a
letter of intent to sell approximately $54 million of classified assets in a bulk sale; however,
the Company was unable to arrive at a mutually satisfactory purchase and sale agreement with the
prospective purchaser and recently terminated negotiations. The Company has initiated plans to
market and sell the assets within the pool to other bulk and individual buyers to facilitate the
reduction of classified assets and improve the credit quality of the loan portfolio.
In addition to increased board oversight and the creation of a Regulatory Compliance Committee in
response to the Orders, the Company has enhanced the board through the addition of experienced
directors with diverse backgrounds. The new members are comprised of the following: the CEO of a
public company who has legal and consulting experience, a former regulator with consulting
experience, a former CEO of a much larger financial institution who has bank turnaround experience
and a former senior partner of a public accounting firm.
The board and management have developed a contingency plan to maintain capital ratios at required
levels under the Orders that expands the deleveraging beyond the run off of maturing brokered CDs
and FHLB advances, which includes the potential securitization or
sale of a significant portion of the tax
lien portfolio. The Company will also consider the following measures as part of the contingency
plan, if required, to insure that capital ratios continue to meet the requirements of the Orders.
These additional measures, if required, include the following: sales of selected branches with high
concentrations of retail CDs, sales of performing loans or specific segments of the loan portfolio,
a shareholder rights offering, a reduction in the level of investment securities, and allow
maturing CDs to selectively run off. It is extremely unlikely that all of the above alternatives
would be initiated. The Company recognizes that some of these measures will also potentially have a
negative impact on future earnings due to the loss of earning assets, but they also can potentially
provide a short-term benefit to capital levels. The board of directors and management of the
Company remain committed to meeting the capital level requirements for Royal Bank as set forth in
the Orders.
The Companys strategic plan includes compliance with the Orders and the Federal Reserve Agreement
discussed above, reducing the level of classified loans within the loan portfolio and improving the
overall level of credit quality, maintaining reduced credit risk within the investment portfolio
and returning to profitability. In concert with
-13-
these efforts, the Company will transition more toward a community bank focus within its geographic
footprint and adjacent markets. This will be achieved through the continued diversification of the
loan portfolio, increased emphasis on the growth of core deposits, the utilization of enterprise
risk management for reviewing strategic initiatives and maintenance of improved underwriting
standards. The strategic plan provides a framework for maintaining required capital ratios while
also reducing the risk profile of the Company and Royal Bank.

The Company evaluates securities for OTTI at least on a quarterly basis. The Company assesses
whether OTTI is present when the fair value of a security is less than its amortized cost. All
investment securities are evaluated for OTTI under FASB ASC Topic 320, Investments-Debt & Equity
Securities (ASC Topic 320). The non-agency collateralized mortgage obligations that are rated
below AA are evaluated under FASB ASC Topic 320 Subtopic 40, Beneficial Interests in Securitized
Financial Assets under FASB ASC Topic 325, Investments-Other. In determining whether OTTI
exists, management considers numerous factors, including but not limited to: (1) the length of time
and the extent to which the fair value is less than the amortized cost, (2) the Companys intent to
hold or sell the security, (3) the financial condition and results of the issuer including changes
in capital, (4) the credit rating of the issuer, (5) analysts earnings estimate, (6) industry
trends specific to the security, and (7) timing of debt maturity and status of debt payments.
Under ASC Topic 320, OTTI is considered to have occurred with respect to debt securities (1) if an
entity intends to sell the security; (2) if it is more likely than not an entity will be required
to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis; or (3) the present value of the
expected cash flows is not sufficient to recover the entire amortized cost basis. In addition, the
amount of the OTTI recognized in earnings depends on whether an entity intends to sell or will more
likely than not be required to sell the security. If an entity intends to sell the security or
will be required to sell the security, the OTTI shall be recognized in earnings equal to the entire
difference between the fair value and the amortized cost basis at the balance sheet date. If an
entity does not intend to sell the security and it is not more likely than not that the entity will
be required to sell the security before the recovery of its amortized cost basis, the OTTI shall be
separated into two amounts, the credit-related loss and the noncredit-related loss. The
credit-related loss is based on the present value of the expected cash flows and is recognized in
earnings. The noncredit-related loss is based on other factors such as illiquidity and is recognized in
other comprehensive income.

The AFS portfolio had gross unrealized losses of $1.9 million at March 31, 2011, which
slightly increased from gross unrealized losses of $1.8 million at December 31, 2010. Increases in
gross unrealized losses on U.S. government agencies securities and corporate bonds were slightly
offset by decreases in gross unrealized losses on collateralized mortgage obligations and trust
preferred securities. In determining the Companys intent not to sell and it is not more likely
than not that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their
amortized cost basis, management considers the following factors: current liquidity and
availability of other non-pledged assets that permits the investment to be held for an extended
period of time but not necessarily until maturity, capital planning, and any specific investment
committee goals or guidelines related to the disposition of specific investments.
Common stocks: As of March 31, 2011, the Company had one common stock of a financial
institution with a total fair value of $100,000 and an unrealized loss of $45,000, or 31.0% of its
aggregate cost. The Company recorded an OTTI charge to earnings of $220,000 related to this common
stock during the second quarter of 2009. Because the Company does not intend to sell this stock
before recovery of its cost basis and will not more likely than not be required to sell this stock
before recovery of its cost basis, it does not consider the unrealized loss to be
other-than-temporary at March 31, 2011.
For all debt security types discussed below the fair value is based on prices provided by brokers
and safekeeping custodians with the exception of trust preferred securities which are described
below.
U.S. government-sponsored agencies (U.S. Agencies): As of March 31, 2011, the Company
had eight U.S. Agencies with a fair value of $29.5 million and gross unrealized losses of $959,000,
or 3.1%, of their aggregate cost. All of these U.S. Agencies have been in an unrealized loss
position for six months or less. Management believes that the unrealized losses on these debt
securities are a function of changes in investment spreads. Management expects to recover the
entire amortized cost basis of these securities. The Company does not intend to sell these
securities before recovery of their cost basis and will not more likely than not be required to
sell these securities before recovery of their cost basis. Therefore, management has determined
that these securities are not other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2011.
U.S. government issued or sponsored collateralized mortgage obligations (Agency CMOs):
As of March 31, 2011, the Company had fourteen Agency CMOs with a fair value of $47.5 million and
gross unrealized losses of $597,000, or 1.2% of their aggregate cost. Thirteen of the Agency CMOs
have been in an unrealized loss position for less than twelve months. The one Agency CMO that has
been in an unrealized loss position for more than twelve months has a fair market value of $4.2
million and an unrealized loss of $12,000 at March 31, 2011. The unrealized loss is attributable
to a combination of factors, including relative changes in interest rates since the time of
purchase. The contractual cash flows for these securities are guaranteed by U.S. government
agencies and U.S. government-sponsored enterprises. Based on its assessment of these factors, management believes that the
unrealized losses on these debt securities are a function of changes in investment spreads and
interest rate movements and not changes in credit quality. Management expects to recover the
entire amortized cost basis of these securities. The Company does not intend to sell these
securities before recovery of their cost basis and will not more likely than not be required to
sell these securities before recovery of their cost basis. Therefore, management has determined
that these securities are not other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2011.
-17-
Non-agency collateralized mortgage obligations (Non-agency CMOs): As of March 31, 2011,
the Company had one non-agency CMO with a fair value of $857,000 and gross unrealized losses of
$3,000, or less than 1.0% of the aggregate cost. The non-agency CMO bond has been in an unrealized
loss position for less than twelve months. The Company evaluated the impairment to determine if it
could expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the non-agency CMO bond by considering
numerous factors including credit default rates, conditional prepayment rates, current and expected
loss severities, delinquency rates, and geographic concentrations. The bond is rated AAA. The
Company does not intend to sell the non-agency CMO and it is not more likely than not that the
Company will be required to sell the investment before recovery of the amortized cost basis.
Therefore, the Company does not consider the bond to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of
March 31, 2011.
Corporate bonds: As of March 31, 2011, the Company had ten corporate bonds with a fair
value of $9.9 million and gross unrealized losses of $310,000, or 3.1% of their aggregate cost.
All ten bonds have been in an unrealized loss position for less than six months and are above
investment grade. The Companys unrealized losses in investments in corporate bonds represent
interest rate risk and not credit risk of the underlying issuers. As previously mentioned
management also considered (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value is less
than the amortized cost, (2) the Companys intent to hold or sell the security, (3) the financial
condition and results of the issuer including changes in capital, (4) the credit rating of the
issuer, (5) analysts earnings estimate, (6) industry trends specific to the security, and (7)
timing of debt maturity and status of debt payments. Management utilized discounted cash flow
analysis based upon the credit ratings of the securities, liquidity risk premiums, and the recent
corporate spreads for similar securities to arrive at the credit risk component as required under
ASC Topic 320 to determine the credit risk component of the corporate bonds. Based on these
analyses, there was no credit-related loss on the ten bonds. Because the Company does not intend
to sell the corporate bonds and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to
sell the bonds before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be maturity, the Company
does not consider the ten bonds to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2011.
Trust preferred securities: At March 31, 2011, the Company had seven trust preferred
securities issued by five individual name companies (reflecting, where applicable the impact of
mergers and acquisitions of issuers subsequent to original purchase) in the financial
services/banking industry. The valuations of trust preferred securities were based upon the fair
market values of active trades for one of the securities and ASC Topic 320 using cash flow analysis
for the remaining six securities. Contractual cash flows and a market rate of return were used to
derive fair value for each of these securities. Factors that affected the market rate of return
included (1) any uncertainty about the amount and timing of the cash flows, (2) the credit risk,
(3) liquidity of the instrument, and (4) observable yields from trading data and bid/ask
indications. Credit risk spreads and liquidity premiums were analyzed to derive the appropriate
discount rate. As of March 31, 2011, the Company has one trust preferred security with a fair
value of $1.7 million and gross unrealized losses of $2,000, or less than 1.0% of the aggregate
cost. The trust preferred security has been in an unrealized loss position for longer than twelve
months and was deemed other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2009. The security is not rated.
The unrealized loss in the trust preferred security reflects the credit concerns related to the
financial institution that issued this long term financial obligation. The recent financial losses
and reductions of capital coupled with bank failures and the overall market uncertainty within the
financial services industry has resulted in a lower value. Management applied a discounted cash
flow analysis based upon the liquidity risk premiums and the recent corporate spreads for similar
securities to arrive at the credit risk component of the unrealized loss as required by ASC Topic
320. As a result, there was no additional credit-related loss on the bond. The total gross
unrealized loss of $2,000 recognized in comprehensive income is the noncredit-related loss on the
security.
The Company will continue to monitor these investments to determine if the discounted cash flow
analysis, continued negative trends, market valuations or credit defaults result in impairment that
is other than temporary.

The Company grants commercial and real estate loans, including construction and land
development loans primarily in the greater Philadelphia metropolitan area as well as selected
locations throughout the mid-Atlantic region. The Company also has participated with other
financial institutions in selected construction and land development loans outside our geographic
area. The Company has a concentration of credit risk in commercial real estate, construction and
land development loans at March 31, 2011. A substantial portion of its debtors ability to honor
their contracts is dependent upon the housing sector specifically and the economy in general.
The Company classifies its leases as finance leases, in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 840,
Leases. The difference between the Companys gross investment in the lease and the cost or
carrying amount of the leased property, if different, is recorded as unearned income, which is
amortized to income over the lease term by the interest method.
The Companys policy for income recognition on troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) is to
recognize income on currently performing restructured loans under the accrual method. At March 31,
2011, the Company had one TDR which is classified as a multi-family real estate non-accrual loan in
the amount of $1.8 million.
At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had $27.1 million and $29.6 million;
respectively, in loans held for sale (LHFS). LHFS at March 31, 2011 are comprised of $21.6
million in non-accrual loans and $5.5 million in classified loans. These loans were transferred
from LHFI in the fourth quarter of 2010 at the lower of cost or fair market value.
The Company uses a nine point grading risk classification system commonly used in the financial
services industry as the credit quality indicator. The first four classifications are rated Pass.
The riskier classifications include Watch, Special Mention, Substandard, Doubtful and Loss. The
risk rating is related to the underlying credit quality and probability of default. These risk
ratings are used to calculate the historical loss component of the ALLL.
| Pass: includes credits that demonstrate a low probability of default; | ||
| Watch: a warning classification which includes credits that are beginning to demonstrate above average risk through declining earnings, strained cash flows, increased leverage and/or weakening market fundamentals; | ||
| Special mention: includes credits that have potential weaknesses that if left uncorrected could weaken the credit or result in inadequate protection of the Companys position at some future |
-19-
date. While potentially weak, credits in this classification are marginally acceptable and loss of principal or interest is not anticipated; |
| Substandard accrualincludes credits that exhibit a well-defined weakness which currently jeopardizes the repayment of debt and liquidation of collateral even though they are currently performing. These credits are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company may incur a loss in the future if these weaknesses are not corrected; | ||
| Non-accrual (substandard non-accrual, doubtful, loss)-includes credits that demonstrate serious problems to the point that it is probable that interest and principal will not be collected according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. |
All loans, at the time of presentation to the appropriate loan committee, are given an initial loan
risk rating by the Chief Credit Officer. From time to time, and at the general direction of any
of the various loan committees, the ratings may be changed based on the findings of that committee.
Items considered in assigning ratings include the financial strength of the borrower and/or
guarantors, the type of collateral, the collateral lien position, the type of loan and loan
structure, any potential risk inherent in the specific loan type, higher than normal monitoring of
the loan or any other factor deemed appropriate by any of the various committees for changing the
rating of the loan. Any such change in rating is reflected in the minutes of that committee.
The following tables present risk ratings for each loan portfolio segment at March 31, 2011 and
December 31, 2010, excluding LHFS.

Total non-accrual loans at March 31, 2011 were $65.1 million and were comprised of $43.5
million in LHFI and $21.6 million in LHFS. Total non-accrual loans at December 31, 2010 were $65.8
million and were comprised of $43.2 million in LHFI and $22.6 million in LHFS. The $700,000
decrease was the result of a $5.9 million reduction
in existing non-accrual loan balances through payments, a $2.6 million LHFS transferred to OREO and
$177,000 in charge-offs partially offset by additions of $8.0 million. If interest had been
accrued, such income would have been
-22-
approximately $1.5 million for the three months ended March
31, 2011. The Company had one TDR classified as a multi-family real estate non-accrual loan in the
amount of $1.8 million and no loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing.
The $2.6 million increase in specific reserves was related to $700,000 impairment on a new
non-accrual loan for the first quarter of 2011 and $1.9 million in additional impairment on three
existing non-accrual loans based on new appraisals or changes in expected cash flows.
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 agreement. The Company does not accrue
interest income on impaired loans. Excess proceeds received over the principal amounts due on
impaired loans are recognized as income on a cash basis.
Total cash collected on non-accrual and impaired loans during the three months ended March 31, 2011
and 2010 was $5.8 million and $6.5 million respectively, of which $5.8 million and $6.5 million was
credited to the principal balance outstanding on such loans, respectively.

On August 13, 2009, the Companys board of directors determined to suspend interest payments on the
trust preferred securities. Under the Federal Reserve Agreement as described in Note 2
Regulatory Matters and Significant Risks or Uncertainties to the Consolidated Financial
Statements, the Company and its non-bank subsidiaries may not make any distributions of interest,
principal, or other sums on subordinated debentures or trust preferred securities without the prior
written approval of the Reserve Bank and the Director of the Division of
Banking Supervision and Regulation of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. As of
March 31, 2011 the trust preferred interest payment in arrears was $1.3 million and has been
recorded in interest expense and accrued interest payable.
Note 9. Commitments, Contingencies, and Concentrations
The Companys exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the other party to
commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount
of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and
conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

Litigation
From time to time, the Company is a party to routine legal proceedings within the normal course of
business. Such routine legal proceedings in the aggregate are believed by management to be
immaterial to the Companys financial condition or results of operations.
Royal Bank holds a 60% equity interest in each of Crusader Servicing Corporation (CSC) and Royal
Tax Lien Services, LLC (RTL). CSC and RTL acquire, through public auction, delinquent tax liens
in various jurisdictions thereby assuming a superior lien position to most other lien holders,
including mortgage lien holders. As previously discussed in the Companys form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2008, on March 4, 2009, each of CSC and RTL received a grand jury subpoena
issued by the U.S. District Court for New Jersey upon application of the Antitrust Division of the
U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ). The subpoena sought certain documents and information relating
to an ongoing investigation being conducted by the DOJ. It is possible that the outcome of the
investigation could result in fines and penalties being assessed against both CSC and RTL, which
could also result in reputational risk due to negative publicity. However, Royal Bank has been
advised that neither CSC nor RTL are targets of the DOJ investigation, but they are subjects of the
investigation. Royal Bank, CSC and RTL are cooperating in the investigation.
Note 10. Shareholders Equity
1. Preferred Stock
On February 20, 2009, as part of the Capital Purchase Program (CPP) established by the United
States Department of Treasury (Treasury), the Company issued to Treasury 30,407 shares of the
Companys Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A, without par value per share
(the Series A Preferred Stock), and a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share. In conjunction
with the purchase of the Series A Preferred Stock,
Treasury received a warrant to purchase 1,104,370 shares of the Companys Class A common stock.
The aggregate purchase price for the Series A Preferred Stock and warrant was $30.4 million in
cash. The Series A Preferred Stock qualifies as Tier 1 capital and pays cumulative dividends at a
rate of 5% per annum for the first five years, and 9% per annum thereafter. The Series A Preferred
Stock may generally be redeemed by the Company at any time following consultation with its primary
banking regulators. The warrant issued to Treasury has a 10-year term and is immediately
exercisable upon its issuance, with an exercise price, subject to anti-dilution adjustments, equal
to $4.13 per share of the common stock. The Company utilized the extra capital provided by the CPP
funds to support its efforts to prudently and transparently provide lending and liquidity while
also balancing the goal to remain well-capitalized.
2. Common Stock
The Companys Class A common stock trades on the NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol RBPAA.
There is no market for the Companys Class B common stock. The Class B shares may not be
transferred in any manner except to the holders immediate family. Class B shares may be converted
to Class A shares at the rate of 1.15 to 1. Class B common stock is entitled to one vote for each
Class A share and ten votes for each Class B share held. Holders of either class of common stock
are entitled to conversion equivalent per share dividends when declared.
-29-
3. Payment of Dividends
Under the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law, the Company may pay dividends only if it is
solvent and would not be rendered insolvent by the dividend payment. There are also restrictions
set forth in the Pennsylvania Banking Code of 1965 (the Code) and in the Federal Deposit
Insurance Act (FDIA) concerning the payment of dividends by the Company. Under the Code, no
dividends may be paid except from accumulated net earnings (generally retained earnings). Under
the FDIA, no dividend may be paid if a bank is in arrears in the payment of any insurance
assessment due to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). In addition, dividends paid
by Royal Bank to the Company would be prohibited if the effect thereof would cause Royal Banks
capital to be reduced below applicable minimum capital requirements.
On August 13, 2009, the Companys board of directors determined to suspend regular quarterly cash
dividends on the $30.4 million in Series A Preferred Stock. The Companys board of directors took
this action in consultation with the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia as required by regulatory
policy guidance. The Company currently has sufficient capital and liquidity to pay the scheduled
dividends on the preferred stock; however, this decision better supports the capital position of
Royal Bank, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. As of March 31, 2011, the Series A Preferred
stock dividend in arrears was $2.8 million and has not been recognized in the consolidated financial
statements. As a consequence of missing the sixth dividend payment in the fourth quarter of 2010,
the Treasury has the right to appoint two directors to our board of directors until all accrued but
unpaid dividends have been paid.
At March 31, 2011, as a result of significant losses within Royal Bank, the Company had negative
retained earnings and therefore would not have been able to declare and pay any cash dividends.
Under the Orders as described in Note 2 Regulatory Matters and Significant Risks or
Uncertainties to the Consolidated Financial Statements, Royal Bank must receive prior approval
from the FDIC and the Department before declaring and paying a dividend to the Company. Under the
Federal Reserve Agreement as described in Note 2 Regulatory Matters and Significant Risks or
Uncertainties to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company may not declare or pay any
dividends without the prior written approval of the Reserve Bank and the Director of the Division
of Banking Supervision and Regulation of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
Additionally, as a result of the CPP completed between the Treasury and the Company on February 20,
2009, the Company is required to receive Treasurys approval for any increases in the dividend
above the amount of the last regular quarterly common stock dividend paid prior to October 14, 2008
and any repurchases of Company common stock. These restrictions on the payment of dividends and the
repurchases of common stock by the Company became effective immediately upon closing and remain in
effect until the earlier date of the third anniversary of the closing date of the preferred shares
and the date of the redemption of the preferred shares.
Note 11. Regulatory Capital Requirements
The Company and Royal Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by
the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain
mandatory and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could
have a direct material effect on the Companys financial statements. Under capital adequacy
guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company must meet
specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Companys assets, liabilities
and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The
Companys and Royal Banks capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative
judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. As of March 31,
2011, the Company and Royal Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.
In connection with a recent bank regulatory examination, the FDIC concluded, based upon its
interpretation of the Consolidated Reports of Condition and Income (the Call Report) instructions
and under regulatory accounting principles (RAP), that income from Royal Banks tax lien business
should be recognized on a cash basis, not an accrual basis. Royal Banks current accrual method is
in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Royal Bank disagrees with the FDICs conclusion and filed the Call
Report for September 30, 2010, December 31, 2010, and March 31, 2011 in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
A change in the method of revenue recognition for the tax lien business for
-30-
regulatory accounting
purposes affects Royal Banks and the Companys capital ratios as shown below. Royal Bank is in
discussions with the FDIC to resolve the difference of opinion.

pension trust agreements. The
benefits are based on years of service and the employees compensation during the highest three
consecutive years during the last 10 years of employment.

Note 13. Stock Compensation Plans
Outside Directors Stock Option Plan
The Company previously adopted a non-qualified Outside Directors Stock Option Plan (the
Directors Plan). Under the terms of the Directors Plan, 250,000 shares of Class A stock were
authorized for grants. Each director was entitled to a grant of an option to purchase 1,500 shares
of stock annually, which are exercisable one year after the grant date and must be exercised within
ten years of the grant. The options were granted at the fair market value at the date of the
grant. The ability to issue new grants under this plan has expired. See the discussion below
concerning the 2007 Long-Term Incentive Plan.

The intrinsic value varies based on the changes in the market value in the Companys stock. |
Employee Stock Option Plan and Appreciation Right Plan
The Company previously adopted a Stock Option and Appreciation Right Plan (the Employee Plan).
The Employee Plan is an incentive program under which Company officers and other key employees were
awarded additional compensation in the form of options to purchase under the Employee Plan, up to
1,800,000 shares of the Companys Class A common stock (but not in excess of 19% of outstanding
shares). At the time a stock option is granted, a stock appreciation right for an identical
number of shares may also be granted. The option price is equal to the fair market value at the
date of the grant. The options are exercisable at 20% per year beginning one year after the date
of grant and must be exercised within ten years of the grant. The ability to issue new grants
under the plan has expired. See the discussion below concerning the 2007 Long- Term Incentive
Plan.

Long-Term Incentive Plan
Under the 2007 Long-Term Incentive Plan, all employees and non-employee directors of the Company
and its designated subsidiaries are eligible participants. The plan includes 1,000,000 shares of
Class A common stock (of which 250,000 shares may be issued as restricted stock), subject to
customary anti-dilution adjustments, or approximately 9.0% of total outstanding shares of the Class
A common stock. As of March 31, 2011, 172,390 stock
options and 18,682 shares of restricted stock from this plan have been granted. For the stock
options, the option strike price is equal to the fair market value at the date of the grant. For
employees, the stock options are exercisable at 20% per year beginning one year after the date of
grant and must be exercised within ten years of the grant. For outside directors, the stock
options vest 100% one year from the grant date and must be exercised within ten years of the grant
date. The restricted stock is granted with an estimated fair value equal to the market value of the
Companys closing stock price on the date of the grant. Restricted stock will vest three years
from the grant date, if the Company achieves specific goals set by the Compensation Committee and
approved by the board of directors. These goals include a three year average return on assets
compared to peers, a three year average return on equity compared to peers and a minimum return on
both assets and equity over the three year period. All shares of restricted stock were forfeited
in the first quarter of 2010 due to the Companys losses in 2009 and 2008.

Note 14. Loss Per Common Share
The Company follows the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share (ASC Topic 260).
Basic earnings per share (EPS) excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to
common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. The
Company has two classes of common stock currently outstanding. The classes are A and B, of which
one share of Class B is convertible into 1.15 shares of Class A. 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 using the treasury stock method. For the three months
ended March 31, 2011, 581,075 options to purchase shares of common stock were anti-dilutive in the
computation of diluted EPS, as exercise price exceeded average market price and as a result of the
net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2011. Additionally 30,407 warrants were also
anti-dilutive. For the three months ended March 31, 2010, 623,351 options to purchase shares of
common stock were anti-dilutive in the
-34-
computation of diluted EPS, as exercise price exceeded
average market price and as a result of the net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2010.
Basic and diluted EPS are calculated as follows:

Note 15. Comprehensive Income (Loss)
FASB ASC Topic 220, Comprehensive Income (ASC Topic 220), requires the reporting of all changes
in equity during the reporting period except investments from and distributions to shareholders.
Net income (loss) is a component of comprehensive income (loss) with all other components referred
to in the aggregate as other comprehensive income. Unrealized gains and losses on AFS securities
is an example of an other comprehensive income component.

Note 16. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Under FASB ASC Topic 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC Topic 820), fair values
are based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in
an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When available,
management uses quoted market prices to determine fair value. If quoted prices are not available,
fair value is based upon valuation techniques such as matrix pricing or other models that use,
where possible, current market-based or independently sourced market parameters, such as interest
rates. If observable market-based inputs are not available, the Company uses unobservable inputs to
determine appropriate valuation adjustments using discounted cash flow methodologies.
In April 2009, the FASB issued guidance under ASC Topic 820 for estimating fair value when the
volume and level of activity for an asset or liability has significantly declined and for
identifying circumstances when a transaction is not orderly. ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair
value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods used to measure fair value. The
hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical
assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level
3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC Topic 820 are as follows:
Level 1: | Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. | ||
Level 2: | Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 2 includes debt securities with quoted prices that are traded less frequently then exchange-traded instruments. Valuation techniques include matrix pricing which is a mathematical technique used widely in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted market prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities relationship to other benchmark quoted prices. | ||
Level 3: | Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported with little or no market activity). |
A financial instruments level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of
input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
-36-
Items Measured on a Recurring Basis
The Companys available for sale investment securities are recorded at fair value on a recurring
basis.
Fair value for Level 1 securities are determined by obtaining quoted market prices on nationally
recognized securities exchanges. Level 1 securities include obligations of U.S.
government-sponsored agencies, preferred and common stocks, and four trust preferred securities
which are actively traded.
Level 2 securities include debt securities with quoted prices, which are traded less frequently
than exchange-traded instruments, whose value is determined using matrix pricing with inputs that
are observable in the market or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable
market data. The prices were obtained from third party vendors. This category generally includes
mortgage-backed securities and CMOs issued by U.S. government and government-sponsored agencies,
non-agency CMOs, and corporate bonds.
Level 3 securities include seven trust preferred securities and investments in real estate and SBA
funds. The fair values for the trust preferred securities were derived by using contractual cash
flows and a market rate of return for each of these securities. Factors that affected the market
rate of return included (1) any uncertainty about the amount and timing of the cash flows, (2) the
credit risk, (3) liquidity of the instrument, and (4) observable yields from trading data and
bid/ask indications. Credit risk spreads and liquidity premiums were analyzed to derive the
appropriate discount rate.
For financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the fair value measurements by
level within the fair value hierarchy used at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 are as follows:

Items Measured on a Nonrecurring Basis
Non-accrual loans are evaluated for impairment on an individual basis under FASB ASC Topic 310
Receivables. The impairment analysis includes current collateral values, known relevant factors
that may affect loan collectability, and risks inherent in different kinds of lending. When the
collateral value or discounted cash flows less costs to sell is less than the carrying value of the
loan a specific reserve (valuation allowance) is established. Loans held for sale are carried at
the lower of cost or fair value. Other real estate owned (OREO) is carried at the lower of cost
or fair value. Fair value is based upon independent market prices, appraised values of the
collateral or managements estimation of the value of the collateral. These assets are included as
Level 3 fair values, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value
measurements.

Note 17. Real Estate Owned via Equity Investment
The
Company, together with third party real estate development companies,
formed variable interest
entities (VIEs) to construct various real estate development projects. These VIEs account for
acquisition, development and construction costs of the real estate development projects in
accordance with FASB ASC Topic 970, Real Estate-General, and account for capitalized interest on
those projects in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 835, Interest. Due to economic
conditions, management decided to curtail new equity investments.
In accordance with ASC Topic 976, the full accrual method is used to recognize profit on real
estate sales. Profits on the sales of this real estate are recorded when cash in excess of the
amount of the original investment is received, and calculation of same is made in accordance with
the terms of the partnership agreement, the Company is no longer obligated to perform significant
activities after the sale to earn profits, there is no continuing involvement with the property
and; finally, the usual risks and rewards of ownership in the transaction had passed to the
acquirer.
At March 31, 2011, the Company had one VIE which is consolidated into the Companys financial
statements. This VIE met the requirements for consolidation under FASB ASC Topic 810,
Consolidation (ASC Topic 810) based on Royal Investments America being the primary financial
beneficiary. Consolidation of this VIE was determined based on the amount invested by Royal
Investments America compared to the Companys partners. In September 2005, the Company, together
with a real estate development company, formed a limited partnership. Royal Investments America is
a limited partner in the partnership (the Partnership). The Partnership was formed to convert an
apartment complex into condominiums. The development company is the general partner of the
Partnership. The Company invested 66% of the initial capital contribution, or $2.5 million, with
the development company investing the remaining equity of $1.3 million. The Company is entitled to
earn a preferred return on the $2.5 million capital contribution. In addition, the Company made
two mezzanine loans totaling $9.2 million at market terms and interest rates. The Partnership no
longer has senior debt with another bank as it was paid off in June 2010. Upon the repayment of
the mezzanine loan interest and principal and the initial capital contributions and preferred
return, the Company and the development company will both receive 50% of the remaining
distribution, if any.
On August 13, 2009, the Company received a Senior Loan Default Notice from the Senior Lender as a
result of the Partnership not making the required repayment by July 9, 2009. The Company signed a
forbearance agreement and
an inter-creditor agreement between the Company and the Senior Lender on October 23, 2009 which
extended the loan until December 9, 2010. On October 25, 2009, the Senior Lender filed for
bankruptcy protection, which has not impacted the relationship between the Partnership and the
Senior Lender. As part of the agreement to extend the loan for 14 months, the Senior Lender
required the Partnership to provide additional funds to cover current and potential future cash
requirements for capital improvements, operating expenses and marketing costs. As mentioned above
the Senior Lender has been repaid in full. Through March 31, 2011, Royal Bank has loaned $2.6
million to the Partnership and is obligated to fund up to $2.7 million if required for the
remaining costs associated with capital improvements, operating and marketing expenses. This loan
has begun to be repaid from the cash flows since the Senior Lender has now been paid in full. The
outstanding balance as of March 31, 2011 is $450,000. The outstanding balance along with any
additional advances to the Partnership will be repaid in full prior to any other payments to
partners.
In accordance with ASC Topic 360, the Partnership assesses the recoverability of fixed assets based
on estimated future operating cash flows. The Company had recognized $12.6 million in impairment
charges related to this asset through December 31, 2010. The measurement and recognition of the
impairment was based on estimated future discounted operating cash flows. No further impairment of
this asset occurred during the first three months of 2011.
At March 31, 2011, the Partnership had total assets of $9.4 million of which $7.3 million is real
estate as reflected on the consolidated balance sheet and total borrowings of $9.7 million, of
which $9.7 million relates to the Companys loans discussed above. The Company has made an
investment of $14.3 million in this Partnership ($2.5 million capital contribution and $11.8
million of loans). The impairments mentioned above along with the repayment of advances that
started in June 2010 have contributed to an overall reduction in the Companys investment. At March
31, 2011, the remaining amount of the investment in and receivables due from the Partnership
totaled $6.6 million.

Note 18. Segment Information
FASB ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting (ASC Topic 280) established standards for public business
enterprises to report information about operating segments in their annual financial statements and
requires that those enterprises report selected information about operating segments in subsequent
interim financial reports issued to shareholders. It also established standards for related
disclosure about products and services, geographic areas, and major customers. Operating segments
are components of an enterprise, which are evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision
makers in deciding how to allocate and assess resources and performance. The Companys chief
operating decision makers are the Chief Executive Officer and the President. The Company has
identified its reportable operating segments as Community Banking, Tax Liens and Equity
Investments. The Company has one operating segment that does not meet the quantitative thresholds
for requiring disclosure, but has different characteristics than the Community Banking, Tax Liens
and Equity Investments segments, RBA Leasing (Leasing in the segment table below). The Tax Liens
segment includes Crusader Servicing Corporation and Royal Tax Lien Services, LLC (collectively the
Tax Lien Operation); and the Equity Investments segment is a wholly owned subsidiary of Royal
Bank, Royal Investments America, that previously made equity investments in real estate and had
extended mezzanine loans to real estate projects. At March 31, 2011 and 2010, one such equity
investment in real estate meets the requirements for consolidation under ASC Topic 810 based on
Royal Investments America being the primary financial beneficiary, and therefore the Company is
reporting this investment on a consolidated basis as a Variable Interest Entity (VIE). This was
determined based on the amount invested by Royal Investments America compared to its partners. The
VIE is included below in the Equity Investment category.
Community banking
The Companys Community Banking segment which includes Royal Bank America and Royal Asian Bank, in
the prior period, 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 Royal Bank. For example, commercial lending is dependent upon
the ability of Royal Bank to fund cash needed to make loans with retail deposits and other
borrowings and to manage interest rate and credit risk. While Royal Bank makes
very few consumer loans, cash needed to make such loans would be funded similarly to commercial
loans. Royal Asian assets of $97.7 million and deposits of $84.6 million were included in
Community Banking in the segment table for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Royal Asians
net loss for the first quarter of 2010 was $995,000.
Tax lien operation
The Companys Tax Lien Operation consists of purchasing delinquent tax certificates from local
municipalities at auction and then processing those liens to either encourage the property holder
to pay off the lien, or to foreclose and sell the property. The tax lien operation earns income
based on interest rates (determined at auction) and penalties assigned by the municipality along
with gains on sale of foreclosed properties.
Equity investments
In September 2005, the Company, together with a real estate development company, formed a limited
partnership. The Company is a limited partner in the partnership (Partnership). The Partnership
was formed to convert an apartment complex into condominiums. The development company is the
general partner of the Partnership. The Company invested 66% of the initial capital contribution,
or $2.5 million, with the development company investing the remaining equity of $1.3 million. The
Company is entitled to earn a preferred return on the $2.5 million capital contribution. In
addition, the Company made two mezzanine loans totaling $9.2 million at market terms and interest
rates. Through March 31, 2011, Royal Bank has loaned $2.6 million to the Partnership and is
obligated to fund up to $2.7 million if required for the remaining costs associated with capital
improvements, operating and marketing expenses. This loan has begun to be repaid from the cash
flows since the Senior Lender has now been paid in full. The outstanding balance as of March 31,
2011 is $450,000. The outstanding balance along with any additional advances to the Partnership
will be repaid in full prior to any other payments to partners.
-41-
In accordance with the FASB ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant and Equipment (ASC Topic 360), the
Partnership assesses for impairment by evaluating the recoverability of the condominiums based on
estimated future operating cash flows. The Company had previously recognized $12.6 million in
impairment through 2010. The measurement and recognition of the impairment was based on estimated
future discounted operating cash flows. No additional impairment was recognized during the first
three months of 2011. The Companys investment in this entity is further discussed in Note 17 -
Real Estate Owned via Equity Investment to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Lease segment
RBA Leasing is a small ticket leasing company. It originates small ticket leases through its
internal sales staff and through independent brokers located throughout its business area. In
general, RBA Leasing will portfolio individual small ticket leases in amounts of up to $250,000.
Leases originated in amounts in excess of that are sold for a profit to other leasing companies.

respectively.

Note 19. Federal Home Loan Bank Stock
As a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh (FHLB), the Company is required to
purchase and hold stock in the FHLB to satisfy membership and borrowing requirements. The stock
can only be sold to the FHLB or to another member institution, and all sales of FHLB stock must be
at par. As a result of these restrictions, there is no active market for the FHLB stock. As of
March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, FHLB stock totaled $9.9 million and $10.4 million,
respectively.
In December 2008, the FHLB voluntarily suspended dividend payments on its stock, as well as the
repurchase of excess stock from members. The FHLB cited a significant reduction in the level of
core earnings resulting from lower short-term interest rates, the increased cost of liquidity, and
constrained access to the debt markets at attractive rates and maturities as the main reasons for
the decision to suspend dividends and the repurchase of excess capital stock. The FHLB last paid a
dividend in the third quarter of 2008. In the fourth quarter of 2010 the FHLB began partially
repurchasing excess capital stock and repurchased $521,000 from the Company during the first
quarter of 2011. The suspension of the dividend remains in effect.
FHLB stock is held as a long-term investment and its value is determined based on the ultimate
recoverability of the par value. The Company evaluates impairment quarterly. The decision of
whether impairment exists is a matter of
judgment that reflects managements view of the FHLBs long-term performance, which includes
factors such as the following: (1) its operating performance, (2) the severity and duration of
declines in the fair value of its net assets related to its capital stock amount, (3) its liquidity
position, and (4) the impact of legislative and regulatory changes on the FHLB. On April 28, 2011,
the FHLB filed an 8-K to report their results for the quarter ended March 31, 2011. For the three
months ended March 31, 2011, the FHLB had net income of $2.5 million compared to $9.9 million for
the three months ended March 31, 2010. The decline was primarily related to lower net interest
income. At March 31, 2011, the FHLBs regulatory capital was $4.2 billion and the FHLB was in
compliance with its risk-based, total and leverage capital requirements. The FHLB has the capacity
to issue additional debt if necessary to raise cash. If needed, the FHLB also has the ability to
secure funding available to GSEs (government-sponsored entities) through the U.S. Treasury. Based
on the capital adequacy and the liquidity position of the FHLB, management believes that the par
value of its investment in FHLB stock will be recovered. Accordingly, there is no
other-than-temporary impairment related to the carrying amount of the Companys FHLB stock as of
March 31, 2011. The FHLB also announced that it would complete a small excess capital stock
repurchase on April 29, 2011, which amounted to $494,000 for Royal Bank.
ITEM 2 MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS 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 three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010. This discussion and analysis should be read
in conjunction with the Companys consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year
ended December 31, 2010, included in the Companys Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
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 and Exchange Commission. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a
safe harbor for forward-looking statements. When we use words such as believes, expects,
anticipates or similar expressions, we are making forward-looking
-43-
statements. In order to comply
with the terms of the safe harbor, the Company notes that a variety of factors could cause the
Companys actual results and experience to differ materially from the anticipated results or other
expectations expressed in the Company forward-looking statements. The risks and uncertainties that
may affect the operations, performance development and results of the Companys business include
the following: general economic conditions, including their impact on capital expenditures; the
possibility that we will be unable to comply with the conditions imposed upon us in the regulatory
orders issued by the FDIC, Pennsylvania Department of Banking in July 2009, and the agreement with
the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia dated March 10, 2010, which could result in the imposition
of further restrictions on our operations; interest rate fluctuations; business conditions in the
banking industry; the regulatory environment: the nature, extent, and timing of governmental
actions and reforms, including the rules of participation for the Troubled Asset Relief Program
voluntary Capital Purchase Plan under the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, which may
be changed unilaterally and retroactively by legislative or regulatory actions; 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.
All forward-looking statements contained in this report are based on information available as of
the date of this report. These statements speak only as of the date of this report, even if
subsequently made available by the Company on its website, or otherwise. The Company expressly
disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect future statements to
reflect future events or developments.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES, JUDGMENTS AND ESTIMATES
The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America and general practices within the financial services
industry. Applications of the principles in the Companys preparation of the consolidated
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 consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. These estimates and
assumptions are based on information available as of the date of the consolidated financial
statements; therefore, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Note 1 to the Companys Consolidated Financial Statements (included in Item 8 of the Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2010) lists significant accounting policies used in the development and
presentation of the Companys consolidated financial statements. The following discussion and
analysis, the significant accounting policies, and other financial statement disclosures identify
and address key variables and other quantitative and qualitative factors that are necessary for an
understanding and evaluation of the Company and its results of operations. The Company is an
investor in a variable interest entity and is required to report its investment in the variable
interest entity on a consolidated basis under FASB ASC Topic 810, Consolidation (ASC Topic
810). The variable interest entity is responsible for providing its financial information to the
Company. We complete an internal review of this financial information. This review requires
substantive judgment and estimation. As disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2010, we have identified other-than-temporary impairment on investments
securities, accounting for allowance for loan and lease losses, and deferred tax assets as among
the most critical accounting policies and estimates. These critical accounting policies and
estimates are important to the presentation of the Companys financial condition and results of
operations, and they require difficult, subjective or complex judgments as a result of the need to
make estimates.
Financial Highlights and Business Results
On June 29, 1995, pursuant to the plan of reorganization approved by the shareholders of Royal Bank
America, formerly Royal Bank of Pennsylvania (Royal Bank), all of the outstanding shares of
common stock of Royal Bank were acquired by Royal Bancshares and were exchanged on a one-for-one
basis for common stock of Royal Bancshares. On July 17, 2006, Royal Asian Bank (Royal Asian) was
chartered by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Department of Banking and commenced operation as a
Pennsylvania state-chartered bank. Prior to obtaining a separate charter, the business of Royal
Asian was operated as a division of Royal Bank. The Company sold Royal Asian on December 30, 2010
to an ownership group led by the President and CEO of Royal Asian, through the purchase of all of
the outstanding common stock of Royal Asian owned by the Company. The principal
-44-
activities of the
Company are supervising Royal Bank, which engages in a general banking business principally in
Montgomery, Chester, Bucks, Philadelphia and Berks counties in Pennsylvania and in northern and
southern New Jersey and Delaware. The Company also has a wholly owned non-bank subsidiary, Royal
Investments of Delaware, Inc., which is engaged in investment activities.
At March 31, 2011, the Company had consolidated total assets of approximately $929.4 million, total
loans and leases of $490.9 million, total deposits of approximately $645.1 million, and
shareholders equity of $82.5 million. During the past 21 months, Royal Bank has continued to
record losses in earnings, which have negatively impacted its capital ratios. The Company
implemented a strategy to mitigate this impact to the capital ratios through the reduction of the
balance sheet (deleveraging). The balance sheet deleveraging has been accomplished primarily
through the run off of maturing brokered deposits and FHLB borrowings as required under the Orders
by reducing the balances of cash, investment securities and loans. This strategy of reducing the
size of the balance sheet has provided greater use of the existing capital despite the continued
losses of income by maintaining that capital ratio as a percentage of the remaining reduced level
of assets in order to achieve capital ratios at required regulatory levels.
The Company signed a letter of intent in the first quarter of 2011 to sell a pool of $54.1 million
of classified assets in a bulk sale which included $30.3 million of non-performing loans, $10.8
million of classified loans and $13.0 million of OREO properties. The proposed asset pool sale
resulted in an additional loss of $14.2 million during the fourth quarter of 2010 due to the lower
of cost or fair market value being applied to the loans and OREO properties. The pending sale was
expected to close in the second quarter of 2011; however, the Company was unable to arrive at
a mutually satisfactory purchase and sale agreement with the prospective purchaser and recently
terminated negotiations. The Company has initiated plans to market and sell the assets within the
pool to other bulk and individual buyers to facilitate the reduction of classified assets and
improve the credit quality of the loan portfolio.
The chief sources of revenue for the Company are interest income from extending loans and from
investing in security instruments, mostly through its subsidiary Royal Bank. Royal Bank principally
generates commercial real estate loans primarily secured by first mortgage liens, construction
loans for commercial real estate projects and residential home development, land development loans,
tax liens and leases. At March 31 2011, commercial real estate loans, construction loans, land
development loans, tax liens and leases comprised 43%, 6%, 10%, 14%, and 8%, respectively, of Royal
Banks loan portfolio. Construction loans and land development loans can have more risk associated
with them, especially when a weakened economy, such as we have experienced the past few years,
adversely impacts the commercial rental or home sales market. Net earnings of the Company are
largely dependent on taking in deposits at competitive market rates, and then redeploying those
deposited funds into loans and investments in securities at rates higher than those paid to the
depositors to earn an interest rate spread. Please see the Net Interest Margin section in
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation below for
additional information on interest yield and cost.
Consolidated Net Loss
During the first quarter of 2011, the Company recorded a net loss of $1.5 million, compared to a
net loss of $1.1 million for the comparable quarter of 2010. The first quarter 2011 loss was
primarily the result of a $2.1 million provision for loan and lease losses related mainly to three
impaired loans and lower net interest income associated with a reduction in interest earning
assets, principally loans and investments. As a consequence of the slowdown in the housing market
and the economic recession, the Company continues to have a high level of non-performing assets
which negatively impacts net interest income as well as operating expenses, such as legal, loan
collection and OREO costs, and therefore the overall level of profitability. The loss in the first
quarter of 2010 was mainly attributable to a provision for loan losses of $1.9 million, of which
$1.0 million was attributable to Royal Asian. Royal Asians net loss for the first quarter in 2010
was $995,000. The Company has been able to mitigate part of the impact of the nonperforming assets
by reducing the funding costs through the re-pricing of retail CDs and by the run off of higher
costing brokered deposits and FHLB advances. Impaired and non-accrual loans are reviewed in the
Credit Risk Management section of this report. Basic and diluted losses per common share were
both $0.15 for the first quarter of 2011, as compared to basic and diluted losses per common share
of $0.12 for the first quarter of 2010.
-45-
Net Interest Income
Net interest income of $6.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 declined $1.5 million, or
18.3%, from $8.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2010. The decline was attributed to lower
yields on interest earning assets, mainly loans and investments. The reduction of the yield on
investment securities was due to called investments, sales of securities and the sale of Royal
Asian while the reduction of the loan yield was caused by payoffs, pay downs and the sale of Royal
Asian. The sale of Royal Asian resulted in a reduction of investment securities of $14.0 million
and a reduction of loans of $63.5 million. The decline associated with the lower yields and reduced
balances on interest earning assets were partially offset by a reduction in balances and lower
interest rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities.
Interest Income
Total interest income for the first quarter of 2011 of $10.6 million represented a decline of $5.0
million, or 32.3%, from the comparable quarter of 2010. The decrease was primarily driven by
declines in average investment and loan balances year over year, while declines in the yields on
investments and loans also contributed to the overall decline. Average interest earning assets
amounted to $856.6 million in the first quarter of 2011, which resulted in a decline of $313.1
million, or 26.8%, from the level of the first quarter of 2010. Average investments of $306.9
million during the first quarter of 2011 experienced a decline of $131.5 million, or 30.0%, from
the first quarter 2010 average. The reduction in investments primarily occurred to facilitate the
run off of maturing brokered CDs and FHLB advances as part of the deleveraging initiative and in
conjunction with the regulatory Orders. Average loan balances of $521.6 million in the first
quarter of 2011 decreased $156.0 million, or 23.0%, from the comparable quarter of 2010. The
decline in loan balances was attributed to loan prepayments, loan pay downs, loan charge-offs,
transfers of loans to OREO through foreclosure proceedings, a limitation on commercial real estate
and construction loans and the sale of Royal Asian in December of 2010. The primary focus of the
lending department during the past year has been small business lending, owner occupied commercial
real estate and small ticket leasing. Average cash equivalents, which amounted to $28.1 million for
the first quarter of 2011, declined $25.6 million, or 47.6%, from the level of the first quarter of
2010, and also contributed to the overall decline in interest earning assets. The decrease in cash
equivalents was associated with the redemption of higher costing liabilities and the Companys
ability to maintain strong liquidity levels despite lower cash balances.
The yield on average interest earning assets for the first quarter of 2011 of 5.01% amounted to a
decline of 41 basis points from the prior years first quarter yield. The yield reduction was
comprised of year over year declines of 36 and 88 basis points for loans (6.29% versus 6.65%) and
investments (3.25% versus 4.13%), respectively, partially offset by a modest increase of 4 basis
points in the cash equivalents yield (0.30% versus 0.26%). The decrease in loan yields reflected
the payoffs and pay downs of higher yielding loans during 2010 and the first quarter of 2011
coupled with lower interest rates on new loans. The decline in the investment yield was due to the
replacement of sold and called higher yielding investment securities during 2010 with lower
yielding government agency mortgage backed and CMO securities.
Interest Expense
Total interest expense of $4.0 million in the first quarter of 2011 declined by $3.6 million, or
47.1%, from the comparable quarter of 2010. The reduction in interest expense was mainly associated
with lower balances of interest bearing liabilities and a decline in the interest rates paid on
those liabilities. Average interest-bearing liabilities of $788.0 million for the first quarter of
2011, amounted to a decline of $282.0 million, or 26.4%, primarily resulting from the run off of
maturing brokered CDs and FHLB advances. Average certificates of deposit amounted to $376.7 million
for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 and reflected a decline of $185.8 million, or 33.0%, from the
comparable quarter of 2010 mainly due to the reduction in brokered CDs and the sale of Royal Asian.
Management did not roll over matured brokered CDs as part of the requirements of the regulatory
Orders to reduce non-core funding coupled with the deleveraging strategy. Average borrowings of
$180.1 million for the first quarter of 2011 declined $98.9 million, or 35.5%, from the prior
years comparable quarter. This decline was primarily related to the redemption of maturing FHLB
advances resulting from the current requirement of 105% collateral delivery status for
FHLB advances, the requirements of the regulatory Orders related to non-core funding and the
Companys deleveraging initiative.
-46-
The average interest rate paid on average total interest-bearing liabilities during the first
quarter of 2011 amounted to 2.07%, which represented an improvement of 81 basis points from the
interest rate paid during the comparable quarter of 2010. The average interest rate paid on average
interest-bearing deposits for the first quarter of 2011 was 1.82% which resulted in a decline of 75
basis points from the level of 2.57% during the comparable quarter of 2010. Year over year lower
average interest rates were paid on existing customer now and money market rates (0.97% in 2011
versus 1.07% in 2010) and on CDs (2.36% in 2011 versus 3.19% in 2010). The decline in interest
rates paid on CDs was attributed to lower rates on new accounts, the re-pricing at lower interest
rates of a significant amount of maturing retail CDs, and the continued run off of maturing
brokered CDs. Brokered CDs of $117.9 million at a weighted average cost of 3.71% were not renewed
at maturity during 2010. In addition, another $33.5 million in brokered CDs were not renewed during
the first quarter of 2011 at a weighted average cost of 3.79%. The average interest rate paid for
borrowings during the first quarter of 2011 amounted to 2.91% which amounted to a reduction of 84
basis points from the average rate paid of 3.75% during the first quarter of 2010. The decline was
due almost entirely to the redemption of FHLB advances during 2010.
Net Interest Margin
The net interest margin in the first quarter of 2011 of 3.10% improved 31 basis points from the
comparable quarter of 2010. The improvement in the funding costs, which amounted to a reduction of
81 basis points, more than offset the overall decline in the yield on interest-earning assets,
primarily yields on loans and investments, of 41 basis points year over year for the first quarter.
The Company was able to pay down maturing higher cost funds, such as brokered CDs and FHLB
advances throughout 2010 and was also able to lower retail deposit costs through the re-pricing of
maturing CDs at lower interest rates while also retaining a significant portion of those maturing
CDs. However the payoffs and pay downs of higher yielding loans during the past five quarters and
lower yields on new loans coupled with the replacement of sold and called higher yielding
investment securities during 2010 with lower yielding government agency mortgage backed and CMO
securities accounted for the decline in the yield on interest-earning assets. The change in the mix
of interest earning assets also contributed to the improved margin year over year. During the
first quarter of 2011, loans, which are the highest yielding interest earning asset, amounted to
61% of total interest earning assets, while loans represented 58% of interest earning assets for
the comparable quarter of 2010. Moreover, the increased concentration of higher yielding leases and
tax liens relative to all other loan types within the total loan portfolio has also contributed to
the improved margin.
The Companys first quarter net interest margin of 3.10% has almost recovered to the level recorded
in 2008 of 3.15%. The first quarter net interest margin has resulted in an improvement of 83 basis
points in the net interest margin since the recent low of 2.32% recorded in the second quarter of
2009. The improvement in the margin has been attributable to the Companys re-pricing of maturing
certificates of deposits and the run off of maturing brokered CDs and FHLB advances during the past
two years, which has more than offset the continued decline in yields of interest earning assets.
The following table represents the average daily balances of assets, liabilities and shareholders
equity and the respective interest bearing assets and interest bearing liabilities, as well as
average rates for the periods indicated, exclusive of interest on obligations related to real
estate owned via equity investment. The loans outstanding include non-accruing loans. The yield
on earning assets and the net interest margin are presented on a fully tax-equivalent (FTE) and
annualized basis. The FTE basis adjusts for the tax benefit of income on certain tax-exempt
investments and loans using the federal statutory tax rate of 35% for each period presented.

Credit Risk Management
The Companys loan and lease portfolio (the credit portfolio) is subject to varying degrees of
credit risk. The Company maintains an allowance for loan and lease losses (the allowance or
ALLL) to absorb possible losses in the loan and lease portfolio. The ALLL is based on the review
and evaluation of the loan and lease portfolio, along with ongoing, quarterly assessments of the
probable losses inherent in that portfolio. The allowance represents an estimation made pursuant to
FASB ASC Topic 450, Contingencies (ASC Topic 450) or FASB ASC Topic 310, Receivables (ASC
Topic 310). The adequacy of the allowance is determined through evaluation of the credit
portfolio, and involves consideration of a number of factors, as outlined below, to establish a
prudent level. Determination of the allowance is inherently subjective and requires significant
estimates, including estimated losses on pools of homogeneous loans and leases based on historical
loss experience and consideration of current economic trends, which may be susceptible to
significant change. Loans and leases deemed uncollectible are charged against the allowance, while
recoveries are credited to the allowance. Management adjusts the level of the allowance through the
provision for loan and lease losses, which is recorded as a current period expense. The
-49-
Companys systematic methodology for assessing the appropriateness of the ALLL includes: (1) general reserves
reflecting historical loss rates by loan type, (2) specific reserves for risk-rated credits based
on probable losses on an individual or portfolio basis and (3) qualitative reserves based upon
current economic conditions and other risk factors.
The loan portfolio is stratified into loan segments that have similar risk characteristics. The
general ALLL is based upon historical loss rates using a three-year rolling average of the
historical loss experienced within each loan segment. The qualitative factors used to adjust the
historical loss experience address various risk characteristics of the Companys loan and lease
portfolio include evaluating: (1) trends in delinquencies and other non-performing loans, (2)
changes in the risk profile related to large loans in the portfolio, (3) changes in the growth
trends of categories of loans comprising the loan and lease portfolio, (4) concentrations of loans
and leases to specific industry segments, and (5) changes in economic conditions on both a local
and national level, (6) quality of loan review and board oversight, (7) changes in lending policies
and procedures, and (8) changes in lending staff. Each factor is assigned a value to reflect
improving, stable or declining conditions based on managements best judgment using relevant
information available at the time of the evaluation. Adjustments to the factors are supported
through documentation of changes in conditions in a report accompanying the allowance calculation.
The specific reserves are determined utilizing standards required under ASC Topic 310. A loan is
considered impaired when it is probable that interest and principal will not be collected according
to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Non-accrual loans are evaluated for impairment on
an individual basis considering all known relevant factors that may affect loan collectability such
as the borrowers overall financial condition, resources and payment record, support available from
financial guarantors and the sufficiency of current collateral values (current appraisals or rent
rolls for income producing properties), and risks inherent in different kinds of lending (such as
source of repayment, quality of borrower and concentration of credit quality). Non-accrual loans
that experience insignificant payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired.
Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case
basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower,
including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrowers prior payment record
and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is
measured on a loan by loan basis for commercial and industrial loans, commercial real estate loans
and commercial construction loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows
discounted at the loans effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is
collateral dependent. An allowance for loan losses is established for an impaired loan if its
carrying value exceeds its estimated fair value. The estimated fair values of substantially all of
the Companys impaired loans are measured based on the estimated fair value of the loans
collateral. The Company obtains third-party appraisals on the fair value of real estate collateral.
Appraised values are discounted to arrive at the estimated selling price of the collateral, which
is considered to be the estimated fair value. The discounts also include estimated costs to sell
the property. For commercial and industrial loans secured by non-real estate collateral, such as
accounts receivable, inventory and equipment, estimated fair values are determined based on the
borrowers financial statements, inventory reports, accounts receivable aging or equipment
appraisals or invoices. Indications of value from these sources are generally discounted based on
the age of the financial information or the quality of the assets. Large groups of smaller balance
homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Once a loan is determined to be impaired it will be deducted from the portfolio and the net
remaining balance will be used in the general and qualitative analysis.
The ALLL calculation methodology includes further segregation of loan classes into risk rating
categories. The borrowers overall financial condition, repayment sources, guarantors and value of
collateral, if appropriate, are evaluated annually for commercial loans or when credit deficiencies
arise, such as delinquent loan payments, for commercial and consumer loans. Credit quality risk
ratings include regulatory classifications of special mention, substandard, doubtful and loss.
Loans classified as special mention have potential weaknesses that deserve managements close
attention. If uncorrected, the potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment
prospects. Loans classified as substandard have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that
jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They include loans that are inadequately protected by the
current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans
classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in loans classified substandard with the
added characteristic that collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of current conditions and
facts, is highly improbable. Loans classified as a loss are considered uncollectible and are
charged to the allowance for loan losses. Loans not classified are rated pass.
-50-
The amount of the allowance is reviewed and approved by the Chief Operating Officer (COO), Chief
Financial Officer (CFO) and Chief Accounting Officer (CAO) on at least a quarterly basis. The
provision for loan and lease losses was $2.1 million in the first quarter of 2011 compared to $1.9
million in the comparable quarter of 2010. The 2011 provision is directly related to specific
reserves on three impaired lending relationships.
The ALLL increased $1.9 million from $21.1 million at December 31, 2010 to $23.0 million at March
31, 2011. The increase was primarily attributable to a $2.6 million increase in specific reserves
on impaired loans. Impaired loans increased $600,000 during the first quarter of 2011. The ALLL
was 4.97% of total loans and leases at March 31, 2011 compared to 4.25% at December 31, 2010.
Management believes that the ALLL at March 31, 2011 is adequate. However, its determination
requires significant judgment, and estimates of probable losses inherent in the credit portfolio
can vary significantly from the amounts actually observed. While management uses available
information to recognize probable losses, future changes to the allowance may be necessary based on
changes in the credits comprising the portfolio and changes in the financial condition of
borrowers, such as may result from changes in economic conditions. In addition, regulatory
agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the credit
portfolio and the allowance. Such review may result in additional provisions based on their
judgment of information available at the time of each examination.

There was one significant addition to non-accrual loans during the first quarter of 2011:
| A $5.3 million participation in a $249.0 million loan to build a 250 unit condo hotel plus 18 condo units operated by a third-party hotel chain on the gulf coast of Florida became non-accrual in the first quarter of 2011. The construction has been completed and the property is generating income and is currently being managed primarily as a hotel rather than a condo hotel. Income levels, however, are currently insufficient to pay down the debt because the individual units have been equipped with amenities and furnishings found in a condo hotel (similar to a timeshare) but not normally included in hotel rooms. In addition the guarantors do not have sufficient financial standing to support the existing debt level. A current appraisal indicated impairment in accordance with ASC Topic 310; therefore, the Company established a specific reserve of $690,000 for this loan. |
Total non-accrual loans at March 31, 2011 were $65.1 million and were comprised of $43.5 million in
LHFI and $21.6 million in LHFS. Total non-accrual loans at December 31, 2010 were $65.8 million
and were comprised of $43.2 million in LHFI and $22.6 million in LHFS. The $700,000 decrease was
the result of a $5.9 million reduction in existing non-accrual loan balances through payments, a
$2.6 million LHFS transferred to OREO and $177,000 in charge-offs partially offset by addition of
$8.0 million. The Company does not accrue interest income on non-accrual loans. If interest had
been accrued, such income would have been approximately $1.5 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2011. Excess proceeds received over the principal amounts due on impaired loans are
recognized as income on a cash basis. The Company had one troubled debt restructuring classified
as a multi-family real estate non-accrual loan in the amount of $1.8 million and no loans past due
90 days or more and still accruing.

The $2.6 million increase in specific reserves was related to $700,000 impairment on a new
non-accrual loan for the first quarter of 2011 and $1.9 million in additional impairment on three
existing non-accrual loans based on new appraisals or changes in expected cash flows.
Other Real Estate Owned
Other real estate owned (OREO) increased $1.5 million from $29.2 million at December 31, 2010 to
$30.7 million at March 31, 2011. Set forth below is a table which details the changes in OREO from
December 31, 2010 to March 31, 2011.

During the first quarter of 2011, the Company sold portions of collateral related to two
loans. The Company received net proceeds of $620,000 and recorded a net loss of $43,000. As a
result of the sales of three single family homes related to one loan, the Company recorded an
impairment charge of $100,000 on the remaining collateral. In addition to the sales mentioned above
the Company sold five properties acquired through the tax lien portfolio. The Company received
proceeds of $974,000 and recorded gains of $437,000 as a result of these sales. During the first
quarter of 2011, the Company entered into sales agreements on two properties and recorded
impairment charges of $293,000 based on the expected net proceeds. The Company acquired the
collateral for one loan held for sale and transferred the fair value of $2.6 million to OREO in the
first quarter of 2011. In addition the Company acquired the collateral related to the tax lien
portfolio and transferred $540,000 to OREO.

Credit Classification Process
The loan review function is outsourced to a third party vendor which applies the Companys loan
rating system to specific credits. The Company uses a nine point grading risk classification system
commonly used in the financial services industry. The first four classifications are rated Pass.
The riskier classifications include Watch, Special Mention, Substandard, Doubtful and Loss. Upon
completion of a loan review, a copy of any review receiving an adverse classification by the
reviewer is presented to the Loan Review Committee for discussion. Minutes outlining in detail the
Committees findings and recommendations are issued after each meeting for follow-up by individual
loan officers. The Committee is comprised of the voting members of the Officers Loan Committee.
The Chief Credit Officer (CCO) is the primary bank officer dealing with the third party vendor
during the reviews.
All loans are subject to initial loan review. Additional review is undertaken with respect to loans
providing potentially greater exposure. This is accomplished by:
| 100% of construction loans regardless of loan size; | ||
| 100% of loans/relationships with balances of $1 million or greater; | ||
| 50% of loans with balances from $500,000 up to $1 million; | ||
| 25% of loans with balances from $250,000 to $499,999; | ||
| 5% of loans with balances up to $250,000; and | ||
| Loans requested specifically by the Companys management |
Loans on the Companys Special Assets Committee list are also subject to loan review even though
they are receiving the daily attention of the assigned officer and monthly attention of the Special
Assets Committee. A watch list is maintained and reviewed at each meeting of the Loan Review
Committee. Loans are added to the watch list, even though the loans may be current or less than 30
days delinquent if they exhibit elements of substandard creditworthiness. The watch list contains a
statement for each loan as to why it merits special attention, and this list is distributed to the
board of directors on a monthly basis. Loans may be removed from the watch list if the Loan Review
Committee determines that exception items have been resolved or creditworthiness has improved.
Additionally, if loans become serious collection matters and are listed on the Companys monthly
delinquent loan or Special Assets Committee lists, they may be removed from the watch list. During
the third quarter of 2009, as a result of the level of classified assets within the loan portfolio,
the Company established the CCIC Committee (Classified, Charge-off and Impairment Committee) to
formalize the process and documentation required to classify, remove from classification, impair or
charge-off a loan. The Committee, which is comprised of the President, Vice Chairman, Chief
Financial Officer, Chief Credit Officer, Chief Lending Officer and Chief Risk Officer, meets as
required and provides regular updated reports to the board of directors.
All loans, at the time of presentation to the appropriate loan committee, are given an initial loan
risk rating by the CCO. From time to time, and at the general direction of any of the various
loan committees, the ratings may be changed based on the findings of that committee. Items
considered in assigning ratings include the financial strength of the borrower and/or guarantors,
the type of collateral, the collateral lien position, the type of loan and loan structure, any
potential risk inherent in the specific loan type, higher than normal monitoring of the loan or any
other factor deemed appropriate by any of the various committees for changing the rating of the
loan. Any such change in rating is reflected in the minutes of that committee.
Potential Problem Loans
Potential problem loans are loans not currently classified as non-performing loans, but for which
management has doubts as to the borrowers ability to comply with present repayment terms. The
loans are usually delinquent more
-56-
than 30 days but less than 90 days. Potential problem loans amounted to approximately $9.7 million
and $20.5 million at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.
Other Income
Other income for the first quarter of 2011 was $1.4 million compared to $1.3 million for the
comparable quarter of 2010 resulting in an increase of $59,000, or 4.5%. The year over year
improvement in other income was mainly attributable to a $176,000 reduction of OTTI charges
recorded on AFS investment securities when comparing the periods, increased gains of $237,000 on
the sale of other real estate owned, and an increase of $228,000 in other income. During the first
quarter of 2010 impairment losses of $176,000 were recorded for investment securities, while there
was no impairment recorded in the comparable quarter of 2011. Refer to Note 4 Investment
Securities to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the impairment
charges. The increase in other income during the first quarter of 2011 as compared to the prior
years comparable quarter was comprised of a $250,000 gain related to a partial recovery of a fully
impaired real estate joint venture coupled with increased rental income mainly associated with two
relatively new OREO properties. The improved results in the first quarter of 2011 for other income
was mostly offset by a decline of $492,000 on the sale of loans and leases, a decline of $147,000
in income related to real estate owned via equity investment due to a slowdown in units sold for
the real estate partnership project and a reduction in gains on the sale of investment securities
($8,000 in 2011 versus $167,000 in 2010). Gains on the sale of loans declined primarily due to
gains on the sale of a commercial real estate loan and SBA loans within Royal Asian during the
first quarter of 2010 without any material gains being recorded in the first quarter of 2011.
Other Expense
Non-interest expense for the first quarter of 2011 amounted to $7.0 million resulting in a decrease
of $1.1 million, or 13.5%, from the comparable quarter of 2010. The reduction was partly
attributable to salaries and benefits expense of $2.7 million and occupancy and equipment expense
of $605,000 in the first quarter of 2011, which declined $307,000 and $194,000, respectively,
relative to the first quarter of 2010 primarily due to the sale of Royal Asian. Also contributing
to the year over year decline in spending, were reduced impairment charges of $409,000 for OREO
properties, a $339,000 decrease in FDIC Insurance and Pennsylvania Department of Banking
assessments, and reduced expenses of $77,000 related to real estate owned via equity investments.
The decrease in FDIC Insurance and Pennsylvania Department of Banking assessments was primarily
related to a lower assessment for the FDIC expense for Royal Bank due to the reduction in deposits,
primarily brokered CDs, during the past year. In addition, the sale of Royal Asian contributed to
the reduction. Partially offsetting the improved spending results were increases in professional
and legal fees and stock option expense. Professional and legal fees, which amounted to $1.1
million in the first quarter of 2011 and represented an increase of $268,000, or 33.4%, were mainly
associated with problem loans. Legal fees related to the appeal of the FDIC tax lien revenue
recognition matter also contributed to the increase. The $95,000 increase in stock option expense
during the first quarter of 2011 was attributed to forfeitures of restricted stock grants that
occurred in the first quarter of 2010. Other operating expense, which amounted to $620,000 during
the first quarter of 2011 and was essentially flat year over year, is comprised of data processing,
advertising, printing and supplies, travel and entertainment, postage, telephone, dues and
subscriptions and miscellaneous expense.
Income Tax Expense
Total income tax expense for the first quarter of 2011 and the comparable quarter of 2010 was $0.
The Company did not record a tax benefit despite the net loss in the first quarter of 2011 since it
concluded at December 31, 2010 that it was more likely than not that the Company would not generate
sufficient future taxable income to realize all of the deferred tax assets. Managements conclusion
was based on consideration of the relative weight of the available evidence and the uncertainty of
future market conditions on results of operations. The Company recorded a non-cash charge of $15.5
million in the consolidated statements of operations in the period ended December 31, 2008 related
to the establishment of a valuation allowance for the deferred tax asset for the portion of the
future tax benefit that more likely than not will not be utilized in the future. During 2009 and
2010, the Company established additional valuation allowances of $10.2 million and $7.7 million,
respectively, which was the result of the net operating losses for each year and the portion of the
future tax benefit that more than likely will not be utilized in
-57-
the future. The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets at March 31, 2011, totaled $33.5
million. The effective tax rate for the first quarters of both 2011 and 2010 was 0%.
Results of Operations by Business Segments
The Company has identified its reportable operating segments as Community Banking, Tax Liens
and Equity Investments. The Company has one operating segment that does not meet the
quantitative thresholds for requiring disclosure, but have different characteristics than the
Community Banking, Tax Liens and Equity Investments segments, and from each other, RBA Leasing
(Leasing in the segment table below). For a description of the different business segments refer
to Note 17 Segment Information to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

31, 2011, deposits of $648.0 million decreased $49.3 million, or 7.1%, from $697.3 million at year
end 2010, primarily due to a $40.6 million decrease in time deposits along with a $10.4 million
decrease in money market deposit, savings and Super Now accounts, and a $1.7 million increase in
demand deposits. The decrease in time deposits was mainly due to the maturity of $33.5 million in
brokered deposits. Included in Royal Banks deposits are approximately $2.9 million of
intercompany deposits that are eliminated through consolidation.
Current market and regulatory trends in banking are changing the basic nature of the banking
industry. Royal Bank intends to keep pace with the banking industry by being competitive with
respect to interest rates and new types or classes of deposits insofar as it is practical to do so
consistent with Royal Banks size as well as profit and capital structure objectives.
Lending: At March 31, 2011, Royal Bank, including its subsidiaries, had a total net loan portfolio
(excluding loans held for sale) of $440.4 million, representing 48% of total assets. The loan
portfolio is categorized into commercial
-59-
demand, commercial mortgages, residential mortgages (including home equity lines of credit),
construction, real estate tax liens, small business leases and installment loans. At March 31,
2011, loans decreased $35.3 million from year end 2010 due to pay downs, payoffs and transfers to
OREO which were partially offset by new originations.
Business results: Total assets of Royal Bank were $921.3 million at March 31, 2011 compared to
$973.1 million at year end 2010. Royal Bank recorded a loss of $1.4 million for the first quarter
of 2011 compared to net income of $195,000 for the comparable quarter of 2010. Total interest
income of Royal Bank for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 was $10.6 million compared to $14.4
million for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, a decrease of 26.4%. The decline in interest income
was attributed to lower yields on interest earning assets, primarily investments and loans, coupled
with a reduced level of interest earning assets. Interest expense was $4.0 million for the quarter
ended March 31, 2011, compared to $7.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, a decrease of
44.4% due to the run off of higher costing brokered CDs and FHLB advances and the favorable
re-pricing of maturing retail CDs. The $1.6 million quarterly decline year over year was mainly
attributable to an increase of $1.2 million in the provision for loan and lease losses and a
reduction of $637,000 in net interest income. The above amounts reflect the consolidation totals
for Royal Bank and its subsidiaries. The subsidiaries included in these amounts are Royal
Investments America, Royal Real Estate, Royal Bank America Leasing, Royal Tax Lien Services,
Crusader Servicing Corporation, RBA Property LLC, Narberth Property Acquisitions, and Rio Marina
LLC.
Royal Asian Bank
Royal Asian was incorporated in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania on October 4, 2005, and was
chartered by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Department of Banking and commenced operation as a
Pennsylvania state-chartered bank on July 17, 2006. The Company completed the sale of Royal Asian
on December 30, 2010 to an investor group led by Royal Asians President and CEO through the
purchase of all of the outstanding common stock of Royal Asian owned by the Company. Royal Asian
provided banking products and services to businesses and consumers in the Korean-American
communities of Southeastern Pennsylvania, Northern New Jersey and Flushing, New York. Royal Asians
results of operations are included in the segment table for March 31, 2010. Royal Asian assets of
$97.7 million and deposits of $84.6 million were included in Community Banking in the segment
table for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Royal Asians net loss for the first quarter of
2010 was $995,000.
Royal Investments of Delaware
On June 30, 1995, the Company established a special purpose Delaware investment company, Royal
Investments of Delaware (RID), as a wholly owned subsidiary. Legal headquarters are at 1105 N.
Market Street, Suite 1300, Wilmington, Delaware. RID buys, holds and sells investment securities.
Business results: Total interest income of RID for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, of $165,000
declined 21% from $210,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2010. For the three months ended March
31, 2011, RID reported net income of $160,000, compared to a net loss of $21,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 2010. The quarter versus quarter improvement was largely related to a
$164,000 decrease other operating expenses and a $63,000 decrease in investment impairment charges
($0 in 2011 compared to $63,000 in 2010). At March 31, 2011 total assets of RID were $29.4 million,
of which $642,000 was held in cash and cash equivalents and $6.0 million was held in investment
securities. The amounts shown above include the activity related to RIDs wholly owned subsidiary
Royal Preferred LLC. Royal Bank previously extended loans to RID, secured by securities and as per
the provisions of Regulation W. At March 31, 2011 no loans were outstanding.
Royal Preferred LLC
On June 16, 2006, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary RID, established Royal Preferred
LLC as a wholly owned subsidiary. Royal Preferred LLC was formed to purchase a subordinated
debenture from Royal Bank America. At March 31, 2011, Royal Preferred LLC had total assets of
approximately $21 million.
Royal Bancshares Capital Trust I and II
-60-
On October 27, 2004, the Company formed two Delaware trust affiliates, Royal Bancshares Capital
Trust I and Royal Bancshares Capital Trust II, in connection with the sale of an aggregate of $25.0
million of a private placement of trust preferred securities. The interest rates for the debt
securities associated with the Trusts at March 31, 2011 amounted to 2.46%.
On August 13, 2009, the Companys board of directors has determined to suspend interest payments on
the trust preferred securities. The Companys board of directors took this action in consultation
with the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia as required by regulatory policy guidance. The
Company currently has sufficient capital and liquidity to pay the scheduled interest payments;
however, this decision better supports the capital position of Royal Bank, a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company. As of March 31, 2011 the trust preferred interest payment in arrears
was $1.3 million and has been recorded in interest expense and accrued interest payable.
Tax Lien Operations
Crusader Servicing Corporation
The Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary Royal Bank, holds a 60% ownership interest in
Crusader Servicing Corporation (CSC). Legal headquarters are at 732 Montgomery Avenue, Narberth,
Pennsylvania. CSC acquires, through auction, delinquent property tax liens in various
jurisdictions, assuming a lien position that is generally superior to any mortgage liens on the
property, and obtaining certain foreclosure rights as defined by local statute. Due to a change in
CSC management, Royal Bank and other shareholders, constituting a majority of CSC shareholders,
voted to liquidate CSC under an orderly, long term plan adopted by CSC management. Royal Bank will
continue acquiring tax liens through its newly formed subsidiary, Royal Tax Lien Services, LLC. At
March 31, 2011, total assets of CSC were $10.7 million. Included in total assets is $1.8 million
for the Strategic Municipal Investments (SMI) portfolio, which is comprised of residential,
commercial, and land tax liens, primarily in Alabama. In 2005, CSC entered into a partnership with
Strategic Municipal Investments (SMI), ultimately acquiring a 50% ownership interest in SMI. In
connection with acquiring this ownership interest, CSC extended financing to SMI in the approximate
amount of $18.0 million, which was used by SMI to purchase a tax lien portfolio at a discount. As
a result of the recent deterioration in residential, commercial and land values principally in
Alabama, management concluded based on an analysis of the portfolio in the fourth quarter of 2008
that the loan was impaired by approximately $2.5 million. During 2009, the loan was impaired by an
additional $500,000. CSC charged-off $3.0 million related to this loan in 2009. There was no
impairment during 2010. During the first quarter of 2011, the loan was impaired by an additional
$178,000 as a result of updated valuations. The outstanding SMI loan balance was $1.8 million at
March 31, 2011 compared to $1.8 million at December 31, 2010.
Business results: Net interest income of CSC for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 amounted to
$100,000, a decrease of $71,000, or 42%, from the comparable quarter of 2010. Net income for CSC
for the three months ended March 31, 2011, was $173,000 compared to a net loss of $19,000 for the
comparable period of 2010. The $192,000 quarter versus quarter improvement was primarily related to
a $337,000 increase in gains on the sale of other real estate owned which was partially offset by a
$107,000 decrease in operating expenses. At March 31, 2011, total assets of CSC were $10.7 million,
of which $10.2 million was held in net tax liens. Royal Bank has extended loans to CSC at market
interest rates, secured by the tax lien portfolio of CSC and as per the provisions of Regulation W.
At March 31, 2011, the amount due Royal Bank from CSC was $8.5 million.
Royal Tax Lien Services, LLC
On November 17, 2006, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary Royal Bank, formed Royal Tax
Lien Services, LLC (RTL). Royal Bank holds a 60% ownership interest in RTL. Legal headquarters
are 732 Montgomery Avenue, Narberth, Pennsylvania. RTL was formed to purchase and service
delinquent tax certificates. RTL typically acquires delinquent property tax liens through public
auctions in various jurisdictions, assuming a lien position that is generally superior to any
mortgage liens that are on the property, and obtaining certain foreclosure rights as defined by
local statute. During the fourth quarter of 2010, the President of RTL resigned from his position
with the company. He presently retains his equity interest in the company and continues on the
board of managers of RTL. The duties of the President of RTL were assumed by another officer of
the Company.
-61-
Business results: Net interest income of RTL of $1.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2011,
decreased $100,000 or 6%, for the comparable quarter of 2010 largely due to a decrease of $116,000
in penalty income year-over-year associated with a decrease in tax liens. Net income for RTL of
$808,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 decreased $30,000, or 4%, from the comparable quarter
of 2010 due to the decrease in net interest income mentioned above. At March 31, 2011, total
assets of RTL were $83.5 million, of which the majority was held in tax liens as compared to total
assets at December 31, 2010 of $89.1 million, of which the majority was held in tax liens.
Royal Bank has extended loans to RTL at market interest rates, secured by the tax lien portfolio of
RTL and as per the provisions of Regulation W. At March 31, 2011, the amount due Royal Bank from
RTL was $75.6 million.
Equity Investments Segment
Royal Investments America
On June 23, 2003, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary Royal Bank, established Royal
Investments America, LLC (RIA) as a wholly owned subsidiary. Legal headquarters are at 732
Montgomery Avenue, Narberth, Pennsylvania. RIA was formed to invest in equity real estate ventures
subject to limitations imposed by the FDIC and Pennsylvania Department of Banking by regulation.
Business results: At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, total assets of RIA prior to
consolidation under ASC Topic 810 were $4.0 million. For the quarter ended March 31, 2011, RIA had
a net loss of $13,000 compared to net income of $13,000 for the comparable period of 2010. Royal
Bank had previously extended loans to RIA at market interest rates, secured by the loan portfolio
of RIA and as per the provisions of Regulation W. At March 31, 2011, there were no outstanding
loans from Royal Bank to RIA.
Leasing Segment
Royal Bank America Leasing, LP
On July 25, 2005, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary Royal Bank, formed Royal Bank
America Leasing, LP (Royal Leasing). Royal Bank holds a 60% ownership interest in Royal Leasing.
Legal headquarters are 550 Township Line Road, Blue Bell, Pennsylvania. Royal Leasing was formed to
originate small business leases. Royal Leasing originates small ticket leases through its internal
sales staff and through independent brokers located throughout its business area. In general, Royal
Leasing will portfolio individual small ticket leases in amounts of up to $250,000. Leases
originated in amounts in excess of that are sold for a profit to other leasing companies. On
occasion, Royal Bank will purchase municipal leases originated by Royal Leasing for its own
portfolio. These purchases are at market based on pricing and terms that Royal Leasing would expect
to receive from unrelated third-parties. From time to time Royal Leasing will sell small lease
portfolios to third-parties and will, on occasion, purchase lease portfolios from other
originators. During the first three months of 2011 and 2010, neither sales nor purchases of lease
portfolios were material.
Business results: At March 31, 2011, total assets of Royal Leasing were $37.7 million, including
$37.3 million in net leases, as compared to $38.0 million in assets at December 31, 2010. During
the quarter ended March 31, 2010, Royal Leasing had net interest income of $583,000, a decrease of
$42,000, or 7%, from the comparable period of 2010; provision for lease losses of $199,000 versus
$175,000 in the comparable quarter of 2010; non-interest income of $130,000 as compared to $70,000
in the first quarter of 2010; and a increase of $145,000 in non-interest expense quarter over
quarter. Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 was $251,000, a decrease of $91,000, or
27%, from $342,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010.
Royal Bank has extended loans to RBA Leasing at market interest rates, secured by the lease
portfolio of RBA Leasing and as per the provisions of Regulation W. At March 31, 2011, the amount
due Royal Bank from RBA Leasing was $36.2 million.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
-62-
Consolidated Assets
Total consolidated assets at March 31, 2011 were $929.4 million, a decrease of $51.3 million, or
5.2%, from December 31, 2010. This decrease was mainly attributed to a reduction of $11.8 million,
or 3.7%, in AFS investments due primarily to the sales of investment securities; a $34.9 million,
or 7.3%, decrease in net loans and leases related to pay downs, payoffs and transfers to OREO; and
a $2.5 million, or 8.6%, decrease in loans held for sale.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Total cash and cash equivalents of $52.1 million at March 31, 2011 increased $413,000, or 0.8%,
from $51.7 million at December 31, 2010. These balances remain at a higher than historical level
due to the expected pay off of additional maturing brokered CDs in the second quarter of 2011 and
the decline in loans during the first quarter of 2011.
Investment Securities
Total investment securities of $305.3 million at March 31, 2011, declined $11.8 million, or 3.7%,
from the level at December 31, 2010. The decrease was primarily due to the sale of eight U. S.
government agency CMO bonds that had significant extension risk in a rising rate environment. The
sale of these investments was partially offset by the replacement of U. S. government agency CMOs
with reduced extension risk. FHLB stock was $9.9 million at March 31, 2011 and $10.4 million at
December 31, 2010.
The AFS portfolio had gross unrealized losses of $1.9 million at March 31, 2011, which slightly
increased from gross unrealized losses of $1.8 million at December 31, 2010. The increase in gross
unrealized losses on U.S. government agencies securities and corporate bonds were slightly offset
by decreases in gross unrealized losses on collateralized mortgage obligations and trust preferred
securities. There was no OTTI impairment for any of the investments during the first quarter of
2011. During the first quarter of 2010 the Company recorded a $176,000 OTTI charge to earnings
related to a private equity investment, a corporate bond and a trust preferred security.
Management expects full collection of cash flows on the unimpaired investments within the AFS
portfolio. The AFS portfolio had net unrealized gains of $4.2 million at March 31, 2011, which
declined from net unrealized gains of $5.0 million at December 31, 2010. For the three months
ended March 31, 2011, the decline in net unrealized gains was primarily associated with a decline
of gross unrealized gains related to U. S. government agency collateralized mortgage obligations.
Investment securities within the AFS portfolio are marked to market quarterly and any resulting
gains or losses are recorded in other comprehensive income, net of taxes, within the equity section
of the balance sheet as shown in Note 15 Comprehensive Income (Loss) to the Consolidated
Financial Statements. When a loss is deemed to be other than temporary but the Company does not
intend to sell the security and it is not more likely than not that the Company will have to sell
the security before recovery of its cost basis, the Company will recognize the credit component of
an OTTI charge in earnings and the remaining portion in other comprehensive income.
The Company will continue to monitor these investments to determine if the continued negative
trends, market valuations or credit defaults result in impairment that is other than temporary.
Loans and Leases
Total loans and leases of $463.9 million decreased $33.0 million, or 7.3%, from the level at
December 31, 2010. The decline was attributed to balances being paid down and loan payoffs during
the first quarter of 2011. Commercial and industrial loans declined $16.9 million, commercial real
estate balances declined $5.4 million, tax liens declined $4.6 million and land development loans
declined $4.5 million. The declines for all four loan categories were related to loan payoffs and
pay downs. The Company has become more selective in approving construction loans as well as
commercial real estate loans given the existing loan concentration coupled with the current
extremely weak housing market and commercial real estate market. As a result, the Company has
shifted its lending focus to generating small business loans and owner occupied commercial real
estate.

Deposits
Total deposits, which are the primary source of funds, have decreased $48.8 million, or 7.0%, to
$645.1 million at March 31, 2011, from December 31, 2010. The decline in deposits was primarily
associated with a $40.6 million, or 10.1%, decrease in certificates of deposit, primarily brokered
CDs, which decreased $33.5 million as a result of the run off of brokered CDs that matured during
the first quarter. Retail time deposits decreased $7.1 million, or 2.3%, from year end 2010. Now
and money market accounts also declined during the past quarter by $10.5 million, or 4.7% while
non-interest bearing demand deposits increased by $2.1 million, or 4.0%. The Company has not
renewed $151.3 million in brokered CDs in the last 15 months as required under the regulatory
Orders to reduce our reliance on non-core deposits.

Borrowings
Total borrowings, which include short and long-term borrowings, amounted to $153.2 million at March
31, 2011, decreased $1.7 million, or 1.1%, from $154.9 million at December 31, 2010. This reduction
is attributed to the monthly payments on the amortizing borrowings during the first quarter of
2011. Management has not incurred additional borrowings because of the FHLB 105% collateral
delivery requirement applicable to Royal Bank, the
-64-
FHLBs suspension of its cash dividend and the requirement under the regulatory orders to reduce
the level of non-core funding. There are no further maturities of FHLB advances until March of
2012.
Shareholders Equity
Consolidated shareholders equity of $82.5 million decreased $1.6 million, or 1.9%, from $84.1
million at December 31, 2010. The decrease was comprised of a decline of $472,000 in other
comprehensive loss related to a modest deterioration in the valuation of the investment portfolio
during the first quarter of 2011 and an increase in the accumulated deficit of $1.6 million, which
was predominantly related to the net loss recorded for the first quarter of 2011 which were
partially offset by a $377,000 increase in noncontrolling interest.
CAPITAL ADEQUACY
The Company and Royal Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by
the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain
mandatory and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could
have a direct material effect on the Companys financial statements. Under capital adequacy
guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company must meet
specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Companys assets, liabilities
and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The
Companys and Royal Banks capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative
judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by regulations to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and
Royal Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier
I capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier I
capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). As of March 31, 2011, the Company and Royal
Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.
On July 15, 2009, Royal Bank agreed to enter into a Consent Order with each of the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Department of Banking. As a result of
these Orders, Royal Bank is required to maintain a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of 8% and a Total
risk-based capital ratio of 12% during the term of the Orders. As shown in the table below, Royal
Bank met these requirements at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.
In connection with a recent bank regulatory examination, the FDIC concluded, based upon its
interpretation of the Consolidated Reports of Condition and Income (the Call Report) instructions
and under regulatory accounting principles (RAP), that income from Royal Banks tax lien business
should be recognized on a cash basis, not an accrual basis. Royal Banks current accrual method is
in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Royal Bank disagrees with the FDICs conclusion and filed the Call
Report for September 30, 2010, December 31, 2010, and March 31, 2011 in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
A change in the method of revenue recognition for the tax lien business for regulatory accounting
purposes affects Royal Banks capital ratios as shown below. Royal Bank is in discussions with the
FDIC to resolve the difference of opinion.

The capital ratios set forth above 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 regulation. At March 31, 2011, the Company was required to have minimum Tier 1 and total
capital ratios of 4.0% and 8.0%, respectively, and a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of 4.0%. At
March 31, 2011, the Company met the regulatory minimum capital requirements, and management
believes that, under current regulations, the Company will continue to meet its minimum capital
requirements in the foreseeable future.
LIQUIDITY & INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY
Liquidity is the ability to ensure that adequate funds will be available to meet the Companys
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 are securities
maturing in one year or less, other short-term investments and 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
calculated by adding total cash, availability on lines of credit, and unpledged investment
securities and subtracting any reserve
-67-
requirements, this amount is then divided by total deposits
as well as by total liabilities to determine the liquidity ratios. The Companys policy is to
maintain a liquidity ratio as a percentage of total deposits of at least 12% and a liquidity ratio
as a percentage of total liabilities of at least 10%. At March 31, 2011, the Companys liquidity
ratios were more than two times the policy minimums.
On August 13, 2009, the Companys board of directors determined to suspend the regular quarterly
cash dividends on the $30.4 million in Series A Preferred Stock issued to the United States
Department of the Treasury (Treasury) as part of the Capital Purchase Program (CPP) established
by the Treasury. The Companys board of directors took this action in consultation with the
Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia as required by recent regulatory policy guidance. The board
of directors also suspended interest payments on its $25.8 million of outstanding trust preferred
securities. The Company currently has sufficient capital and liquidity to pay the scheduled
dividends and interest payments on its preferred stock and trust preferred securities. The
decision to suspend the preferred cash dividend and the trust preferred interest payment better
supports the capital position of Royal Bank, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. As of March
31, 2011 the trust preferred interest payment in arrears was $1.3 million and has been recorded in
interest expense and accrued interest payable. As of March 31, 2011 the Series A Preferred stock
dividend in arrears was $2.8 million and has not been recognized in the consolidated financial
statements.
The Companys level of liquidity is provided by funds invested primarily in corporate bonds,
capital trust securities, U.S. agencies, and to a lesser extent, federal funds sold. The overall
liquidity position of Royal Bank is monitored on a weekly basis while the remaining legal entities
are monitored monthly.
In managing its interest rate sensitivity positions, the Company seeks to develop and implement
strategies to control exposure of net interest income to risks associated with interest rate
movements. Interest rate sensitivity is a function of the repricing characteristics of the
Companys assets and liabilities. These include the volume of assets and liabilities repricing, the
timing of the repricing, and the interest rate sensitivity gaps which are a continual challenge in
a changing rate environment.

The Companys exposure to interest rate risk is mitigated somewhat by a portion of the
Companys 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. At March 31, 2011, floating rate loans with floors and
without floors were $101.8 million and $121.4 million, respectively.
REGULATORY ACTIONS
FDIC Orders
On July 15, 2009, Royal Bank agreed to enter into a Stipulation and Consent to the Issuance of an
Order to Cease and Desist (the Orders) with each of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
(FDIC) and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Department of Banking (Department). The material
terms of the Orders are identical and require Royal Bank to: (i) have and retain qualified
management, and notify the FDIC and the Department of any changes in Royal Banks board of
directors or senior management; (ii) increase participation of Royal Banks board of directors in
Royal Banks affairs by having the board assume full responsibility for approving Royal Banks

Substandard at its regulatory examination; (iv) develop a written plan to reduce delinquent
loans, and restrict additional advances to borrowers with existing credits classified as Loss,
Doubtful or Substandard; (v) develop a written plan to reduce Royal Banks commercial real
estate loan concentration; (vi) maintain, after establishing an adequate allowance for loan and
lease
-69-
losses, a ratio of Tier 1 capital to total assets (leverage ratio) equal to or greater than
8% and a ratio of qualifying total capital to risk-weighted assets (total risk-based capital ratio)
equal to or greater than 12%; (vii) formulate and implement written profit plans and comprehensive

payments to or entering contracts with Royal Banks Holding Company or other Royal Bank affiliates
without prior approval of the FDIC and the Department; (xiii) submit to the FDIC for review and
approval an executive compensation plan that incorporates qualitative as well as profitability
performance standards for Royal Banks executive officers; (xiv) establish a compliance committee
of the board of directors of Royal Bank with the responsibility to ensure Royal Banks compliance
with the Orders; and (xv) prepare and submit quarterly reports to the FDIC and the Department
detailing the actions taken to secure compliance with the Orders. The Orders will remain in effect
until modified or terminated by the FDIC and the Department.
The Orders do not materially restrict Royal Bank from transacting its normal banking business.
Royal Bank continues to serve its customers in all areas including making loans, establishing lines
of credit, accepting deposits and processing banking transactions. Customer deposits remain fully
insured to the highest limits set by the FDIC. The FDIC and the Department did not impose or
recommend any monetary penalties in connection with the Orders.
Royal Bank created a Regulatory Compliance Committee comprised of outside directors and management
in the third quarter of 2009. The purpose of the Committee is to monitor compliance with the
Orders. Royal Bank has submitted an internal assessment of senior managements qualifications
report to the FDIC and the Department. Additionally Royal Bank has submitted plans for reducing
classified assets, reducing delinquencies, reducing commercial real estate concentrations,
liquidity and funds management, and reducing non-core deposits and whole-sale funding sources.
Royal Bank had submitted a 2010 budget plan, a 2010 strategic plan and a compensation plan. All
plans have been approved by the FDIC and the Department where required. In the first quarter of
2011, Royal Bank submitted a strategic plan and a budget plan for 2011 to the FDIC and the
Department for their review.
Royal Bank has submitted all required quarterly reports to the FDIC and the Department detailing
the actions taken to maintain compliance with the Orders as of the date of this Report.
Following are the actions Royal Bank has taken to respond to and comply with the Orders as of the
date of this report:
1. | Reduction of Classified Assets | ||
Royal Bank has eliminated from its books via charge-off all assets classified as Loss. Royal Bank submitted to the FDIC and the Department a Plan for the Reduction of Classified Assets (classified assets plan) required under the Orders. The FDIC and the Department have approved the classified assets plan. No material advances were made on any classified loan unless approved by the board of directors and determined to be in Royal Banks best interest. Royal Bank was successful in reducing net classified loans (outstanding loan balance less charge-offs and specific reserves) and other real estate owned (OREO) from $149.6 million at June 30, 2009 to $109.1 million at March 31, 2011. | |||
2. | Reduction of Delinquencies | ||
Royal Bank submitted to the FDIC and the Department a Plan for the Reduction of Delinquencies (delinquency reduction plan) required under the Orders. The FDIC and the Department have approved the delinquency reduction plan. No advances were made on any delinquent loan unless approved by the board of directors and determined to be in Royal Banks best interest. Royal Banks delinquent loans (30 to 90 days) amounted to $36.3 million at June 30, 2009 versus $9.7 million at March 31, 2011. Royal Banks non-accrual loans were $80.8 million at June 30, 2009. Total non-accrual loans at March 31, 2011 were $65.1 million and were comprised of $43.5 million in loans held for investment and $21.6 million in loans held for sale. |
-70-
3. | Reduction of Commercial Real Estate Concentrations | ||
Royal Bank submitted to the FDIC and the Department a Plan for the Reduction of Commercial Real Estate Concentrations (CRE concentration plan) required under the Orders. The FDIC and the Department have approved the CRE concentration plan. Management has been working diligently to reduce the concentration in commercial real estate loans (CRE loans). Royal Bank was successful in reducing the CRE concentration, which includes loans held for sale, from $289.1 million at June 30, 2009 to $204.7 million at March 31, 2011, which amounted to 200.9% of total capital and 218.2% of Tier 1 capital. At March 31, 2011, total construction/land loans (CL loans), which includes loans held for sale amounted to $87.7 million, or 86.1%, of total capital and 93.5% of Tier 1 capital. Based on capital levels calculated under U.S. GAAP, Royal Bank no longer has a concentration of commercial real estate loans as defined in the joint agency Guidance on Concentrations in Commercial Real Estate Lending, Sound Risk Management Practices issued on December 12, 2006 (Guidance). Based on capital levels calculated under regulatory accounting principles (RAP), (see discussion under Capital Adequacy), CRE loans and CL loans as a percentage of total capital and Tier 1 capital, respectively, are 232.5%, 255.4%, 99.6% and 109.4%. Under RAP, Royal Bank does not have a concentration in CL loans as defined in the Guidance. | |||
4. | Capital Maintenance | ||
Under the Orders, Royal Bank must maintain a minimum total risk-based capital ratio and a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of 12% and 8%, respectively. At March 31, 2011, based on capital levels calculated under RAP, Royal Banks total risk-based capital and Tier 1 leverage ratios were 14.25% and 8.65%, respectively. | |||
5. | Liquidity and Funds Management | ||
Royal Bank submitted to the FDIC and the Department a liquidity and funds management plan (liquidity plan) required under the Orders. The FDIC and the Department have approved the liquidity plan. At March 31, 2011, Royal Bank had $52.1 million in cash on hand and $97.3 million in unpledged agency securities. At March 31, 2011, the liquidity to deposits ratio was 32.4% compared to Royal Banks 12% target and the liquidity to total liabilities ratio was 24.7% compared to Royal Banks 10% target. | |||
6. | Brokered Deposits and Borrowings | ||
Royal Bank submitted to the FDIC and the Department a plan for reduction of reliance on non-core deposits and wholesale funding sources plan (brokered deposit plan) required under the Orders. The FDIC and the Department have approved the brokered deposit plan. Since entering the Orders Royal Bank has not renewed, accepted, or rolled over any maturing brokered CDs; nor has Royal Bank issued new brokered CDs. Brokered CDs declined $171.3 million from $226.9 million at June 30, 2009 to $55.6 million at March 31, 2011. Borrowings declined $130.7 million from $283.9 million at June 30, 2009 to $153.2 million at March 31, 2011. |
Federal Reserve Agreement
On March 17, 2010, the Company agreed to enter into a Written Agreement (the Federal Reserve
Agreement) with the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia (the Reserve Bank). The material terms
of the Federal Reserve Agreement provide that: (i) the Companys board of directors will take
appropriate steps to fully utilize the Companys financial and managerial resources to serve as a
source of strength to its subsidiary banks, including taking steps to ensure that Royal Bank
complies with the Orders previously entered into with the FDIC and the Department on July 15, 2009;
(ii) the Companys board of directors will, within 60 days of the Federal Reserve Agreement, submit
to the Reserve Bank a written plan to strengthen board oversight of the management and operations
of the consolidated operation; (iii) the Company will not declare or pay any dividends without the
prior written approval of the Reserve Bank and the Director of the Division of Banking Supervision
and Regulation of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; (iv) the Company and its
non-bank subsidiaries will not make any distributions of interest, principal, or other sums on
subordinated debentures or trust preferred securities without the prior approval of the Reserve
Bank and the Director of the Division of Banking Supervision and Regulation of
-71-
the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System; (v) the Company and its nonbank subsidiaries will not,
directly or indirectly, incur, increase, or guarantee any debt without the prior written approval
of the Reserve Bank; (vi) the Company will not, directly or indirectly, purchase or redeem any
shares of its stock without the prior written approval of the Reserve Bank; (vii) the Company will,
within 60 days of the Federal Reserve Agreement, submit to the Reserve Bank an acceptable written
capital plan to maintain sufficient capital at the Company on a consolidated basis, which plan will
at a minimum address: regulatory requirements for the Company and the Banks, the adequacy of the
Banks capital taking into account the volume of classified credits, the allowance for loan and
lease losses, current and projected asset growth, and projected retained earnings; the source and
timing of additional funds necessary to fulfill the consolidated organizations and the Banks
future capital requirements; supervisory requests for additional capital at the Banks or the
requirements of any supervisory action imposed on the Banks by federal or state regulators; and
applicable legal requirements that the Company serve as a source of strength to the Banks; (viii)
the Company will, within 60 days of the Federal Reserve Agreement, submit to the Reserve Bank cash
flow projections for 2010 showing planned sources and uses of cash for debt service, operating
expenses, and other purposes, and will submit similar cash flow projections for each subsequent
calendar year at least one month prior to the beginning of such year; (ix) the Company will comply
with applicable legal notice provisions in advance of appointing any new director or senior
executive officer or changing the responsibilities of any senior executive officer such that the
officer would assume a different senior executive officer position, and comply with restrictions on
indemnification and severance payments imposed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Act; and (x) the
Companys board of directors will, within 30 days after the end of each quarter, submit progress
reports to the Reserve Bank detailing the form and manner of all actions taken to secure compliance
with the Agreement and the results thereof, together with a parent company-level balance sheet,
income statement, and, as applicable, report of changes in shareholders equity.
The Federal Reserve Agreement will remain in effect and enforceable until stayed, modified,
terminated or suspended by the Reserve Bank. Royal Bancshares has submitted all progress reports
and responses required under the Federal Reserve Agreement as of the
date of this Report. In April 2011, with
respect to the capital plan submissions by the Company to the Reserve Bank, the Reserve Bank has
advised the Company that it will not approve a capital plan until such time as the Company is able
to successfully raise additional capital and/or substantially reduce its risk profile, or is able
to offer credible assurances that the Company will be able to raise capital or reduce its risk
profile.
Our success as a Company is dependent upon pursuing various alternatives in not only achieving the
growth and expansion of our banking franchise but also in managing our day to day operations. The
existence of the Orders and the Federal Reserve Agreement may limit or impact our ability to pursue
all previously available alternatives in the management of the Company. Our ability to retain
existing retail and commercial customers as well as the ability to attract potentially new
customers may be impacted by the existence of the Orders and the Federal Reserve Agreement. The
Company has been successful in commercial real estate lending; however, our ability to expand into
potentially attractive commercial real estate or construction loans at this time is limited. The
Companys ability to raise capital in the current economic environment could be potentially limited
or impacted as a result of the Orders. Attracting new management talent is critical to the success
of our business and could be potentially impacted due to the existence of the Orders and the
Federal Reserve Agreement. At March 31, 2011, the Company and
Royal Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which it is
subject.
ITEM 3 QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The information presented in the Liquidity and Interest Rate Sensitivity section of the
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results Operations of this Report
is incorporated herein by reference.
ITEM 4 CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains a set of disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the Exchange Act), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time
periods specified in the Securities Exchange Commissions rules and forms. As of the end of the
period covered by this report, the Company evaluated, under the supervision and with the
participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and
-72-
Chief Financial
Officer (CFO), the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and
procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation our CEO and
CFO concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were effective at March 31,
2011.
(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting during the
first quarter of 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect,
the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any controls system. A controls system, no
matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that
its objectives are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there
are limits on resources, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs
and their impact on the business model. We intend to continue to improve and refine our internal
control over financial reporting.
PART II OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Royal Bank holds a 60% equity interest in each of Crusader Servicing Corporation (CSC) and Royal
Tax Lien Services, LLC (RTL). CSC and RTL acquire, through public auction, delinquent tax liens
in various jurisdictions thereby assuming a superior lien position to most other lien holders,
including mortgage lien holders. As previously discussed in the Companys form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2008, on March 4, 2009, each of CSC and RTL received a grand jury subpoena
issued by the U.S. District Court for New Jersey upon application of the Antitrust Division of the
U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ). The subpoena sought certain documents and information relating
to an ongoing investigation being conducted by the DOJ. It is possible that the outcome of the
investigation could result in fines and penalties being assessed against both CSC and RTL, which
could also result in reputational risk due to negative publicity. However, Royal Bank has been
advised that neither CSC nor RTL are targets of the DOJ investigation, but they are subjects of the
investigation. Royal Bank, CSC and RTL are cooperating in the investigation.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
There have been no material changes from risk factors as previously disclosed in our Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2010.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
None
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.
On August 13, 2009, the Companys board of directors determined to suspend regular quarterly cash
dividends on the $30.4 million on the Companys Series A Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred
Stock that it previously issued to the United States Treasury under the TARP Capital Purchase
Program. As of March 31, 2011, the Series A Preferred stock dividend in arrears was $2.8 million
and has not been recognized in the consolidated financial statements. As a consequence of
missing the sixth dividend payment in the fourth quarter of 2010, the Treasury has the right to
appoint two directors to our board of directors until all accrued but unpaid dividends have been
paid.
