        NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)


1. The accompanying  unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared
in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting   principles  for  interim
financial  information.  The financial information included herein is unaudited;
however, such information reflects all adjustments  (consisting solely of normal
recurring  adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management,  necessary to a
fair statement of the results for the interim periods.  For further information,
refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in
the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994.

2. The results of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 1995 are
not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

3. Per share data are based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding
of 7,139,680  and 7,165,367  for 1995 and 1994,  respectively,  and are computed
after giving retroactive effect to a 5% stock dividend paid October 31, 1994.

4. On January 1, 1995 the Company  adopted  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting
Standards  (SFAS) No. 114,  "Accounting for Creditors for Impairment of a Loan,"
as amended by SFAS No. 118, "Accounting for Creditors for Impairment of a Loan -
Income  Recognition  and  Disclosures."  SFAS No. 114  requires  that a creditor
measure  impairment  based on the present  value of  expected  future cash flows
discounted at the loan's  effective  interest  rate,  except that as a practical
expedient, a creditor may measure impairment based on a loan's observable market
price,  or the fair value of  collateral  if the loan is  collateral  dependent.
Regardless of the measurement  method, a creditor must measure  impairment based
on  the  fair  value  of  the  collateral  when  the  creditor  determines  that
foreclosure is probable.  SFAS No. 118 allows  creditors to use existing methods
for recognizing interest income on impaired loans.

    The  Company has  identified  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 accrual of interest is discontinued in such loans and
no income is recognized until all recorded amounts of interest and principal are
recovered in full.


                                       6

    Loan impairment is measured by estimating the expected future cash flows and
discounting  them at the  respective  effective  interest rate or by valuing the
underlying collateral.  The recorded investment in these loans and the valuation
for credit losses related to loan impairment are as follows:

                                                               March 31,

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
         Condition and Results of Operations


         The  following  discussion  and  analysis  is  intended  to  assist  in
understanding  and evaluating  the major changes in the financial  condition and
earnings  performance  of the  Company  with a primary  focus on an  analysis of
operating results.

                              FINANCIAL CONDITION

         Total assets increased to $1.155 billion,  an increase of $18.3 million
or 1.6% over the $1.137 billion at December 31, 1994. This increase is reflected
primarily in the loan category,  the result of the  investment of deposits,  the
Company's primary source of funds.

         Total cash and cash equivalents increased $1.5 million or 4.4% at March
31, 1995 when compared to December 31, 1994.  This increase was primarily due to
interest bearing deposits in banks.

         Loans  increased to $849.0  million at March 31, 1995.  The increase of
$18.3  million or 2.2% compared to December 31, 1994 was primarily the result of
the investment of deposits.  In addition,  loans originated for immediate resale
during the first quarter amounted to $1.3 million.  The Company's credit quality
is reflected by the annualized  ratio of net  charge-offs to average total loans
of .23% for the first quarter and the level of non-accrual  loans to total loans
of 1.04% at March 31, 1995.  The Company has no  significant  exposure to energy
and  agricultural-related  loans.  Non-accrual  loans at December  31, 1994 were
1.12% of total loans.

         Investments,  the  Company's  secondary use of funds,  remained  stable
through March 31, 1995.

         As the primary source of funds, aggregate deposits of $905.0 million at
March 31, 1995  increased  $40.3  million or 4.7% compared to December 31, 1994.
There  was a shift in  deposit  mix  during  the first  three  months of 1995 as
interest  bearing  deposits  increased  $45.3 million and  non-interest  bearing
deposits  decreased $5.0 million.  Certificates of deposit in excess of $100,000
increased $28.2 million.  In addition to deposits,  earning assets are funded to
some extent through  purchased  funds and borrowings.  These include  securities
sold  under  repurchase   agreements,   federal  funds   purchased,   short-term
borrowings, and long-term obligations.  In aggregate, these funds totaled $159.0
million at March 31, 1995 and $187.7  million at December 31, 1994. The decrease
of $28.8  million  represents an decrease in  short-term  borrowings,  primarily
securities sold under repurchase agreements and federal funds purchased.


                                       8

         Shareholders'  equity  increased $6.7 million or 7.9% at March 31, 1995
to $91.6  million  compared to the $84.9  million at  December  31,  1994.  This
increase  was due to the  retention  of  earnings  and the  change in  valuation
adjustment  for  securities  available for sale.  Cash dividends paid during the
first three  months of 1995  increased  $268,000  or 21.8%  compared to the cash
dividends paid during the first three months of 1994.  Earnings  retained during
the first three  months of 1995 were 61.8%  compared  to 67.7%  during the first
three months of 1994.


                             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 1995 was $3.9 million,  3.0%
more than the $3.8 million  reported for the same period in 1994.  The Company's
performance  has been and will continue to be in part influenced by the strength
of the economy and conditions in the real estate market.

         Net interest income is the difference between interest income on assets
and interest  expense on liabilities.  Net interest income increased $.3 million
or 2.1% to $13.5 million  during the first quarter of 1995 from $13.2 million in
the first  quarter  1994.  The  increase  was due  primarily  to an  increase in
interest income,  as a result of growth in loan outstandings and higher rates on
loans,  partially  offset by growth in deposits and higher rates on deposits and
borrowings.  Interest  rate  risk is a major  concern  in  forecasting  earnings
potential. The Company's prime rate from January 1, 1995 to January 31, 1995 was
8.5%. On February 1, 1995, the prime rate changed to 9.0%.  The Company's  prime
rate from  January 1 to March 23, 1994 was 6.0%.  On March 24,  1994,  the prime
rate changed to 6.25%.  Interest  expense  during the first three months of 1995
increased  $3.8 million or 62.4%  compared to the prior year three month period.
In addition to the current  increasing rate environment,  the cost of attracting
and  holding  deposited  funds  is an  ever-increasing  expense  in the  banking
industry.  These  increases  are the real  costs  of  deposit  accumulation  and
retention,  including FDIC insurance  costs and branch overhead  expenses.  Such
costs are  necessary for  continued  growth and to maintain and increase  market
share of available deposits.

         The provision for loan losses is determined by periodic reviews of loan
quality, current economic conditions,  loss experience and loan growth. Based on
these factors,  the provision for loan losses remained constant when compared to
the first  quarter of 1994.  The  allowance  for loan losses of $19.6 million at
March 31, 1995 and $19.3  million at December 31, 1994 as a percentage  of gross
loans was 2.3% for both time periods.  Net  charge-offs of $483,000 and $717,000
during the first three months of 1995 and 1994,  continues to be  comparable  to
that of the


                                       9

Company's peers, as reported in the Bank Holding Company Performance Report.

         "Total  other  income"  increased  $922,000  or 80.5%  during the first
quarter of 1995 as the result of gains on the sale of  securities  and mortgages
of $477,000,  other income of $352,000 and trust income of $99,000. "Total other
expenses" increased $1,227,000 or 15.4% during the quarter ended March 31, 1995.
Of this amount, salaries and benefits increased $728,000 or 17.1% over the first
quarter of 1994. Other operating  expenses  increased  $307,000 and premises and
equipment increased $192,000.

         Income before income taxes  decreased by $34,000 or .6% compared to the
first quarter of 1994. Income taxes decreased $148,000, or 8.2%, for the quarter
due to a higher level of tax advantaged assets than for the same period in 1994.

                    LIQUIDITY AND INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY

         The  primary  functions  of  asset/liability  management  are to assure
adequate liquidity and maintain an appropriate balance between  interest-earning
assets and  interest-bearing  liabilities.  Liquidity  management  involves  the
ability  to meet the cash  flow  requirements  of  customers  who may be  either
depositors  wanting  to  withdraw  funds or  borrowers  needing  assurance  that
sufficient funds will be available to meet their credit needs. Funding affecting
short-term liquidity,  including deposits, repurchase agreements,  federal funds
purchased,  and short-term  borrowings,  increased in the aggregate $8.2 million
from year end 1994.  Long-term  borrowings  remained  constant through the first
quarter of 1995.

     The goal of interest rate  sensitivity  management is to avoid  fluctuating
net interest  margins,  and to enhance  consistent growth of net interest income
through periods of changing  interest rates. Such sensitivity is measured as the
difference  in the volume of assets and  liabilities  in the existing  portfolio
that are subject to repricing in a future time period.

(1)      Savings  and  NOW  deposits  are  scheduled  for  repricing   based  on
         historical  deposit decay rate analyses,  as well as historical  moving
         averages of run-off for the Company's deposits in these categories.

         Interest   rate   sensitivity   is  a   function   of   the   repricing
characteristics of the Company's assets and liabilities.  These  characteristics
include  the  volume of assets  and  liabilities  repricing,  the  timing of the
repricing,  and the relative  levels of  repricing.  Attempting  to minimize the
interest  rate  sensitivity  gaps is a continual  challenge  in a changing  rate
environment.  Based on the  Company's  gap  position as  reflected  in the above
table,  current  accepted  theory would indicate that net interest  income would
increase in a falling  interest rate  environment and would decrease in a rising
rate  environment.  An  interest  rate gap table  does not,  however,  present a
complete  picture of the impact of interest rate changes on net interest income.
First,  changes  in the  general  level  of  interest  rates do not  affect  all
categories of assets and liabilities equally or simultaneously.  Second,  assets
and liabilities which can contractually  reprice within the same period may not,
in fact,  reprice  at the same  time or to the same  extent.  Third,  the  table
represents a one-day position; variations


                                       11

<PAGE>

occur daily as the Company adjusts its interest sensitivity throughout the year.
Fourth,  assumptions  must be made  to  construct  such a  table.  For  example,
non-interest  bearing  deposits are assigned a repricing  interval of within one
year, although history indicates a significant amount of these deposits will not
move  into  interest  bearing  categories  regardless  of the  general  level of
interest rates. Finally, the repricing distribution of interest sensitive assets
may not be indicative of the liquidity of those assets.

         The Company anticipates volatile interest rate levels for the remainder
of 1995, with no clear indication of sustainable  rising or falling rates. Given
this  assumption,  the  Company's  asset/liability  strategy for 1995 is to move
toward a smaller negative gap (interest-bearing liabilities subject to repricing
greater than rising interest-earning assets subject to repricing) for periods up
to a year.  The impact of a volatile  interest rate  environment on net interest
income is not expected to be significant to the Company's results of operations.
Effective  monitoring of these interest  sensitivity gaps is the priority of the
Company's asset/liability management committee.

                                CAPITAL ADEQUACY

         The following table sets forth certain capital performance ratios.

                                                   Mar. 31,      Dec. 31,
                                                     1995         1994
CAPITAL LEVELS
  Tier 1 leverage ratio                              7.41%        7.35%
  Tier 1 risk-based ratio                           11.09        10.85
  Total risk-based ratio                            12.36        12.11

CAPITAL PERFORMANCE
  Return on average assets(annualized)               1.38         1.41
  Return on average equity(annualized)              18.20        17.30
  Earnings retained                                 61.76        63.50
  Internal capital growth(annualized)               31.66        11.32

         The Company's  capital  ratios 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  regulators.  At March 31,
1995,  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 3.0%. In
order for the Company to be considered "well capitalized", as defined by banking
regulators,  the Company must have Tier 1 and total  capital  ratios of 6.0% and
10.0%,  respectively,  and a minimum Tier 1 leverage  ratio of 5.0%. The Company
currently meets the criteria for a well capitalized institution, and management


                                       12

believes that, under current regulations,  the Company will continue to meet its
minimum capital  requirements in the foreseeable future. At present, the Company
has no commitments for significant capital expenditures.

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

                                 FUTURE OUTLOOK

         On March 1,  1995,  the  Company  opened its first  supermarket  branch
banking facility.  The Company considers  supermarket branches to be a strategic
delivery system for banks in the future and anticipates opening four more during
the remainder of 1995.

         The Company  will  continue  its work on the  installation  of platform
automation  during 1995.  Through  platform  automation,  the Company expects to
increase efficiencies and re-focus its efforts to improve productivity, in order
to  provide  faster and  improved  service  to our  customers,  at the same time
reducing costs to contribute to improved profitability.  The platform automation
project may lead to in excess of $1 million in capital expenditures in 1995.

Item 5.  Other Information.

         On March 1, 1995, the Registrant's  banking  subsidiary,  National Penn
Bank,  opened  its first  full-service  supermarket  branch in  Muhlenberg  Weis
Market,  Berks County,  Pennsylvania.  The Registrant  anticipates  that in 1995
National  Penn  Bank  will  open four  more  supermarket  branches,  located  in
Schnecksville (Lehigh County), Cedar Crest (Lehigh County),  Coopersburg (Lehigh
County),  and Bethlehem  (Northampton  County).  The Registrant also anticipates
that  National  Penn Bank will close its  Fairview  Village  branch  (Montgomery
County) in June 1995.

         In February  1994,  the  Registrant's  Board of Directors  approved the
repurchase  of up to  200,000  shares  of its  common  stock in open  market  or
negotiated transactions.  At March 31, 1995, a total of 152,440 shares have been
repurchased at an aggregate cost of $4,737,000.
