              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  six-month  period ended June 30, 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 7,165,367  and 7,165,367  for 1995 and 1994,  respectively,  and are computed
after giving retroactive effect to a 5% stock dividend paid on October 31, 1994.

4. On July 26,  1995,  the  Company's  Board of  Directors  declared  a 5% stock
dividend  payable on October 31, 1995 to shareholders of record on September 29,
1995.

5. 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:

                                                         June 30,

                                                        ==========

         On January 1, 1995 a valuation  for credit  losses  related to impaired
loans was established.  The activity in this allowance for the six months ending
June 30, 1995 is as follows:

          Valuation allowance at beginning of period   $ 1,913,000
          Provision for loan impairment                    586,000
          Direct charge-offs                              (855,000)
          Recoveries                                       269,000
                                                       -----------
          Valuation allowance at end of period         $ 1,193,000

         Total cash collected on impaired loans during the six months ended June
30, 1995 was $742,000,  of which $269,000 was credited to the principal  balance
outstanding  on such loans and  $473,000  was  recognized  as  interest  income.
Interest  that would have been  accrued on impaired  loans  during the first six
months of 1995 was $326,000.  Interest  income  recognized  during the first six
months of 1995 was $473,000.

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 $1.221 billion,  an increase of $83.7 million
or 7.4% 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  $17.0  million or 49.9% at
June 30, 1995 when  compared to December 31, 1994.  This  increase was due to an
increase in due from banks and federal funds sold.

         Loans  increased to $889.9  million at June 30,  1995.  The increase of
$59.3  million or 7.1% compared to December 31, 1994 was primarily the result of
the investment of deposits.  Loans  originated  for immediate  resale during the
first six months of the year  amounted to $4.9  million.  The  Company's  credit
quality is reflected by the annualized ratio of net charge-offs to average total
loans of .35% for the second  quarter and the level of  non-performing  loans to
total loans of 1.63% at June 30, 1995. The Company has no  significant  exposure
to energy and agricultural- related loans.  Non-performing loans at December 31,
1994 were 1.12% of total loans.

         Investments,  the  Company's  secondary use of funds,  increased  $11.0
million or 4.6% to $249.1 million at June 30, 1995 when compared to December 31,
1994. The increase was primarily in Mortgage-Backed Securities.

         As the primary source of funds, aggregate deposits of $908.7 million at
June 30, 1995  increased  $44.1  million or 5.1%  compared to December 31, 1994.
There was a shift in deposit mix during the first six months of 1995 as interest
bearing  deposits  increased $40.1 million while  non-interest  bearing deposits
increased $4.0 million.  Certificates of deposit in excess of $100,000 increased
$25.1 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 debt obligations. In the aggregate, these funds totaled $203.2 million
at June 30, 1995, a $27.2 million or 15.4%  increase  compared to $176.0 million
December 31, 1994. The increase is reflected in short-term

                                       8

<PAGE>

obligations,  primarily  securities sold under repurchase  agreement and federal
funds purchased.

         Shareholders'  equity increased $10.6 million or 12.6% at June 30, 1995
to $95.5  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 six  months  of 1995  increased  $467,000  or 18.4%  compared  to the cash
dividends paid during the first six months of 1994. Earnings retained during the
first six  months of 1995 were  59.8%  compared  to 65.1%  during  the first six
months of 1994.

                             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 1995 was $3.6  million,  3.0%
more than the $3.5 million  reported for the same period in 1994.  For the first
six months, net income reached $7.5 million,  or 3.0% more than the $7.3 million
reported for the first six months of 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 decreased $.5 million
or 3.3% to $13.5 million during the second quarter of 1995 from $14.0 million in
the second  quarter 1994.  For the  comparative  six month period,  net interest
income remained constant.  The increase in interest income is a result of growth
in loan  outstandings  and higher  rates on loans that was  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 8.50%.  On February 1, 1995,
the prime rate changed to 9.0%. The Company's prime rate was 6.0% from January 1
through  March 23,  1994.  From March 24 to April 18,  1994,  the prime rate was
6.25%. From April 19 to May 17, 1994, the prime rate was 6.75%. On May 18, 1994,
the prime rate changed to 7.25%. Interest expense during the first six months of
1995  increased  $8.0 million or 62.9%  compared to the prior year's six months.
Despite  the  current  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 and lease  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  and  lease  losses
decreased $200,000 for both the second

                                       9

<PAGE>

quarter and the first six months of 1995  compared to the same  periods in 1994.
The  allowance  for loan and lease losses of $19.3  million at June 30, 1995 and
December  31,  1994  as  a  percentage   of  total  loans  was  2.2%  and  2.3%,
respectively.  The Company's net charge-offs of $1,475,000 and $1,350,000 during
the first six months of 1995 and 1994, respectively,  continues to be comparable
to  that of the  Company's  peers,  as  reported  in the  Bank  Holding  Company
Performance Report.

         "Total  other  income"  increased  $135,000  or 9.1%  during the second
quarter of 1995, as a result of gains on the sale of securities and mortgages of
$138,000,  trust  income of $73,000 and service  charges on deposit  accounts of
$17,000.  Year to date, other income increased $1,057,000 or 40.1% when compared
to the first six  months of 1994 as a result of gains on the sale of  securities
and  mortgages of $615,000,  other income of $259,000,  trust income of $172.000
and  service  charges on deposit  accounts 0f $11,000.  "Total  other  expenses"
decreased  $360,000 or 3.7% during the quarter ended June 30, 1995 and increased
$867,000  or 4.9% for the six  months  period.  Of this  year-to-date  increase,
salaries and benefits  increased $900,000 or 10.1% due to higher staffing levels
and the opening of two supermarket branches in 1995.

         Income  before  income taxes  increased by $227,000 or 4.6% compared to
the second  quarter of 1994.  In comparing the first six months of 1995 to 1994,
income before income taxes  increased  $193,000 or 1.8%.  Income taxes increased
$123,000 for the quarter and decreased $25,000 the six month period.

                    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,  fed funds
purchased,  and  short-term  borrowings,  increased  $76.3 million from year end
1994. Long-term borrowings decreased $5.0 million during the first six months 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  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

                                       11

<PAGE>

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 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
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
equal  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.

                                                 June 30,    Dec. 31,
                                                  1995        1994
CAPITAL LEVELS
  Tier 1 leverage ratio                            7.39%      7.35%
  Tier 1 risk-based ratio                         10.74      10.85
  Total risk-based ratio                          12.01      12.11



CAPITAL PERFORMANCE
  Return on average assets(annualized)             1.30       1.41
  Return on average equity(annualized)            16.70      17.30
  Earnings retained                               59.80      63.50
  Internal capital growth(annualized)             10.54      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 June 30,
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

                                       12

<PAGE>

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
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

         In  February  1994,  the  Company's  Board of  Directors  approved  the
repurchase  of up to  200,000  shares  of its  common  stock in open  market  or
negotiated  transactions.   To  date,  a  total  of  160,000  shares  have  been
repurchased at an aggregate cost of $4,942,000.

         On March 1,  1995,  the  Company  opened its first  supermarket  branch
banking facility in Muhlenberg,  PA. The second supermarket branch was opened on
May 3, 1995 in Schnecksville,  PA. The Company considers supermarket branches to
be a strategic  delivery system for banks in the future and anticipates  opening
three 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 contrubute to improved profitability.  The platform automation
project may lead to in excess of $1 million in capital expenditures.

Item 5.            Other Information.

          On May 8, 1995, the  Registrant's  banking  subsidiary,  National Penn
Bank,  formed a new  banking  division,  1st Main Line  Bank,  located in Paoli,
Pennsylvania.  1st Main Line Bank initially  opened a loan production  office in
the Paoli Plaza. On August 2, 1995, the Comptroller of the Currency  approved an
application for a full-service branch at this location.

          National  Penn Bank opened a  full-service  supermarket  branch in the
King's  Market,  Schnecksville  (Lehigh  County) on May 3, 1995, and in the Weis
Market,  Cedar Crest (Lehigh County) on July 31, 1995. National Penn Bank closed
its Fairview Village branch (Montgomery County) on June 18, 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 June 30, 1995, a total of 160,000 shares have been
repurchased at an aggregate cost of $4,942,000.
