PART I
Item 1. BUSINESS.
The Company
National Penn Bancshares, Inc. (the "Company") is a Pennsylvania business
corporation and bank holding company headquartered at Philadelphia and Reading
Avenues, Boyertown, Pennsylvania 19512. The Company owns all of the outstanding
capital stock of National Penn Bank, formerly named National Bank of Boyertown
("NPB"). The Company was incorporated in January 1982. In addition, the Company
has three wholly-owned nonbank subsidiaries engaged in activities related to the
business of banking and has, indirectly through one of such subsidiaries, equity
investments in three other banks or banking companies. At December 31, 1995, the
Company and NPB had 517 full- and part-time employees.
National Penn Bank
Prior to August 1, 1993, NPB's name was National Bank of Boyertown. On that
date, the bank's name was changed to National Penn Bank. National Penn Bank also
operates through Chestnut Hill National Bank ("CHNB Division") and 1st Main Line
Bank ("1stMLB Division"), each a banking division of National Penn Bank. The
CHNB Division was established in December 1993 after the Company's acquisition
of Chestnut Hill National Bank; the 1stMLB Division was started in April 1995.
At December 31, 1995, NPB conducted operations through 39 full-service
branches and four loan production offices, of which three branches and one loan
production office constitute the CHNB Division, and one branch constitutes the
1stMLB Division.
NPB is engaged in the commercial and retail banking business. NPB provides
checking and savings accounts, time deposits, personal, business, residential
mortgage, educational loans, interbank credit cards, and safe deposit and night
depository facilities.
In fourth quarter 1995, NPB began offering certain non-deposit (non- FDIC
insured) investment products through unaffiliated third-party vendors.
Nonbank Subsidiaries
The Company owns all of the outstanding capital stock of Investors Trust
Company ("ITC"), a Pennsylvania-chartered trust company. ITC opened for business
on June 20, 1994.
The Company also owns all of the outstanding capital stock of National Penn
Investment Company, a Delaware business corporation ("NPIC") that invests in and
holds certain intangible investments. NPIC began operations in January 1985. The
Company also owns all of the outstanding capital stock of National Penn Life
Insurance Company, an Arizona insurance company formed to reinsure credit life
and accident and health insurance in connection with loans made by NPB. National
Penn Life Insurance Company began operations in January 1985.

<PAGE>
Other Bank Investments
The Company has, indirectly through NPIC, the following equity investments
in banks or banking companies:
1. 20% of the outstanding capital stock of Penncore Financial Services
Corporation, a Pennsylvania bank holding company and parent corporation of
Commonwealth State Bank, a Pennsylvania bank headquartered in Newtown, Bucks
County, Pennsylvania. Commonwealth State Bank began operations as a bank in
April 1987.
2. 20% of the outstanding capital stock of First Capitol Bank, a
Pennsylvania bank headquartered in York, Pennsylvania. First Capitol Bank began
operations as a bank in November 1988.
3. 20% of the outstanding capital stock of Pennsylvania State Bank, a
Pennsylvania bank headquartered in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania State
Bank began operations as a bank in May 1989.
For financial reporting purposes, the Company accounts for its investment
in Penncore Financial Services Corporation, First Capitol Bank, and Pennsylvania
State Bank using the "equity" method.
Supervision and Regulation
Bank Holding Company Regulation
The Company is registered as a bank holding company and is subject to the
regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the
"Federal Reserve") under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended
("BHCA"). Bank holding companies are required to file periodic reports with and
are subject to examination by the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve has
issued regulations under the BHCA that require a bank holding company to serve
as a source of financial and managerial strength to its subsidiary banks. As a
result, the Federal Reserve, pursuant to such regulations, may require the
Company to stand ready to use its resources to provide adequate capital funds to
NPB during periods of financial stress or adversity.
Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991
("FDICIA"), a bank holding company is required to guarantee the compliance of
any insured depository institution subsidiary that may become "undercapitalized"
(as defined by regulations) with the terms of any capital restoration plan filed
by such subsidiary with its appropriate federal banking agency, up to specified
limits.
Under the BHCA, the Federal Reserve has the authority to require a bank
holding company to terminate any activity or relinquish control of a nonbank
subsidiary (other than a nonbank subsidiary of a bank) upon the Federal
Reserve's determination that such activity or control constitutes a serious risk
to the financial soundness and stability of any bank subsidiary of the bank
holding company.
The BHCA prohibits the Company from acquiring direct or indirect control of
more than 5% of the outstanding shares of any class of voting stock or
substantially all of the assets of any bank or merging or consolidating with
another bank holding company without prior approval of the Federal Reserve. Such
a transaction would also require approval of the Pennsylvania Department of
Banking. Pennsylvania law permits
2
<PAGE>
Pennsylvania bank holding companies to control an unlimited number of banks.
Additionally, the BHCA prohibits the Company from engaging in or from
acquiring ownership or control of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of any
class of voting stock of any company engaged in a nonbanking business unless
such business is determined by the Federal Reserve to be so closely related to
banking as to be a proper incident thereto. The Federal Reserve can
differentiate between nonbanking activities that are initiated by a bank holding
company or subsidiary and activities that are acquired as a going concern. The
BHCA does not place territorial restrictions on the activities of such
nonbanking-related activities. The Company and its subsidiaries are prohibited
from engaging in certain tie-in arrangements in connection with any extension of
credit, lease or sale of property, or furnishing of services.
The activities that the Federal Reserve has determined by regulation to be
permissible are:
(1) making, acquiring, or servicing loans or other extensions of
credit for its own account or for the account of others;
(2) operating an industrial bank, Morris Plan bank, or industrial loan
company, in the manner authorized by state law, so long as the institution
is not a bank;
(3) operating as a trust company in the manner authorized by federal
or state law so long as the institution is not a bank and does not make
loans or investments or accept deposits, except as may be permitted by the
Federal Reserve;
(4) subject to limitations, acting as an investment or financial
adviser (i) to a mortgage or real estate investment trust, (ii) to certain
registered investment companies, (iii) by providing portfolio investment
advice to other persons, (iv) by furnishing general economic information
and advice, general economic statistical forecasting services, and industry
studies, (v) by providing financial advice to state and local governments,
or (vi) by providing financial and transaction advice to corporations,
institutions, and certain persons in connection with mergers, acquisitions,
and other financial transactions;
(5) subject to limitations, leasing real or personal property or
acting as agent, broker, or adviser in leasing such property in accordance
with prescribed conditions;
(6) investing in corporations or projects designed primarily to
promote community welfare;
(7) providing to others data processing services and data transmission
services, data bases, and facilities, within certain limitations;
(8) subject to limitations, engaging in certain agency and
underwriting activities with respect to credit insurance, and certain other
insurance activities as permitted by the Federal Reserve;
3
<PAGE>
(9) owning, controlling, or operating a savings association, if the
savings association engages only in deposit-taking activities and lending
and other activities that are permissible for bank holding companies under
Federal Reserve regulations;
(10) providing courier services for certain financial documents;
(11) subject to limitations, providing management consulting advice to
nonaffiliated bank and nonbank depository institutions;
(12) retail selling of money orders and similar consumer-type payment
instruments having a face value of $1,000 or less, selling U.S. Savings
Bonds, and issuing and selling traveler's checks;
(13) performing appraisals of real estate and personal property;
(14) subject to limitations, acting as intermediary for the financing
of commercial or industrial income-producing real estate by arranging for
the transfer of the title, control, and risk of such a real estate project
to one or more investors;
(15) providing certain securities brokerage services;
(16) subject to limitations, underwriting and dealing in government
obligations and certain other instruments;
(17) subject to limitations, providing foreign exchange and
transactional services;
(18) subject to limitations, acting as a futures commission merchant
for nonaffiliated persons;
(19) subject to limitations, providing investment advice on financial
futures and options to futures;
(20) subject to limitations, providing consumer financial counseling;
(21) subject to limitations, tax planning and preparation;
(22) providing check guaranty services;
(23) subject to limitations, operating a collection agency; and
(24) operating a credit bureau.
Federal Reserve approval may be required before the Company or its nonbank
subsidiaries may begin to engage in any such activity and before any such
business may be acquired.
Dividend Restrictions
The Company is a legal entity separate and distinct from NPB and the
Company's nonbank subsidiaries. The Company's revenues (on a parent Company only
basis) result almost entirely from dividends paid to the Company by its
subsidiaries. The right of the Company, and consequently
4
<PAGE>
the right of creditors and shareholders of the Company, to participate in any
distribution of the assets or earnings of any subsidiary through the payment of
such dividends or otherwise is necessarily subject to the prior claims of
creditors of the subsidiary (including depositors, in the case of NPB), except
to the extent that claims of the Company in its capacity as a creditor may be
recognized.
Federal and state laws regulate the payment of dividends by the Company's
subsidiaries. See "Supervision and Regulation - Regulation of NPB" herein.
Further, it is the policy of the Federal Reserve that bank holding
companies should pay dividends only out of current earnings. Federal banking
regulators also have the authority to prohibit banks and bank holding companies
from paying a dividend if they should deem such payment to be an unsafe or
unsound practice.
Capital Adequacy
Bank holding companies are required to comply with the Federal Reserve's
risk-based capital guidelines. The required minimum ratio of total capital to
risk-weighted assets (including certain off-balance sheet activities, such as
standby letters of credit) is 8%. At least half (4%) of the total capital is
required to be "Tier 1 capital," consisting principally of common shareholders'
equity, noncumulative perpetual preferred stock, a limited amount of cumulative
perpetual preferred stock, and minority interests in the equity accounts of
consolidated subsidiaries, less certain intangible assets. The remainder ("Tier
2 capital") may consist of a limited amount of subordinated debt and
intermediate-term preferred stock, certain hybrid capital instruments and other
debt securities, perpetual preferred stock, and a limited amount of the general
loan loss allowance. In addition to the risk-based capital guidelines, the
Federal Reserve requires a bank holding company to maintain a minimum "leverage
ratio." This requires a minimum level of Tier 1 capital (as determined under the
risk-based capital rules) to average total consolidated assets of 3% for those
bank holding companies that have the highest regulatory examination ratings and
are not contemplating or experiencing significant growth or expansion. All other
bank holding companies are expected to maintain a ratio of at least 1% to 2%
above the stated minimum. Further, the Federal Reserve has indicated that it
will consider a "tangible Tier 1 capital leverage ratio" (deducting all
intangibles) and other indicia of capital strength in evaluating proposals for
expansion or new activities. The Federal Reserve has not advised the Company of
any specific minimum leverage ratio applicable to the Company.
Pursuant to FDICIA, the federal banking agencies have specified, by
regulation, the levels at which an insured institution is considered "well
capitalized," "adequately capitalized," "undercapitalized," "significantly
undercapitalized," or "critically undercapitalized." Under these regulations, an
institution is considered "well capitalized" if it has a total risk-based
capital ratio of 10% or greater, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6% or
greater, a leverage ratio of 5% or greater, and is not subject to any order or
written directive to meet and maintain a specific capital level. The Company and
NPB, at December 31, 1995, qualify as "well capitalized" under these regulatory
standards.
5
<PAGE>
FDIC Insurance Assessments
NPB is subject to FDIC deposit insurance assessments. The FDIC has adopted
a risk-related premium assessment system for both the Bank Insurance Fund
("BIF") for banks and the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF") for
savings associations. Under this system, FDIC insurance premiums are assessed
based on capital and supervisory measures.
Under the risk-related premium assessment system, the FDIC, on a semiannual
basis, assigns each institution to one of three capital groups (well
capitalized, adequately capitalized, or undercapitalized) and further assigns
such institution to one of three subgroups within a capital group corresponding
to the FDIC's judgment of its strength based on supervisory evaluations,
including examination reports, statistical analysis, and other information
relevant to gauging the risk posed by the institution. Only institutions with a
total risk-based capital to risk- adjusted assets ratio of 10% or greater, a
Tier 1 capital to risk-adjusted assets ratio of 6% or greater, and a Tier 1
leverage ratio of 5% or greater, are assigned to the well-capitalized group.
On August 8, 1995, the FDIC reduced the insurance assessment that
BIF-member banks deemed to have the least risk (including NPB) must pay on
insured deposits to $.04 per $100 of deposits from the then current rate of $.23
per $100 of deposits, but continued SAIF premiums at the then current level of
$.23 per $100 of deposits. Because NPB acquired approximately $225 million of
SAIF-insured deposits from savings associations from 1990 to the present, NPB
continued to pay insurance assessments on these acquired deposits at $.23 per
$100 of deposits. The reduction in rate on BIF-insured deposits to $.04 was
retroactive to May 1, 1995. On January 1, 1996, the FDIC reduced the insurance
assessment to zero for BIF-member banks in the least risk category.
Legislation is pending in the U.S. Congress to recapitalize the SAIF
through a one-time assessment of $.85 per $100 of SAIF-insured deposits.
Commercial banking companies which purchased SAIF-insured deposits, such as NPB,
may be assessed at a 20% lower rate. If NPB is subjected to this one-time
assessment, it could result in a total payment of between $1 million and $2
million by NPB. At the date hereof, this issue is part of the unresolved Federal
government budget debate.
The Company cannot predict if the pending legislation will be enacted as
presently proposed, but expects that any legislation recapitalizing SAIF will
likely impose additional deposit insurance costs on it attributable to NPB's
acquired SAIF-insured deposits. These costs may have a material adverse effect
on the Company's earnings when incurred.
Regulation of NPB
The operations of NPB are subject to federal and state statutes applicable
to banks chartered under the banking laws of the United States, to members of
the Federal Reserve System, and to banks whose deposits are insured by the FDIC.
NPB's operations are also subject to regulations of the OCC, the Federal
Reserve, and the FDIC.
The OCC, which has primary supervisory authority over NPB, regularly
examines banks in such areas as reserves, loans, investments, management
practices, and other aspects of operations. These examinations are designed for
the protection of NPB's depositors rather than the Company's
6
<PAGE>
shareholders. NPB must furnish annual and quarterly reports to the OCC, which
has the authority under the Financial Institutions Supervisory Act to prevent a
national bank from engaging in an unsafe or unsound practice in conducting its
business.
Federal and state banking laws and regulations govern, among other things,
the scope of a bank's business, the investments a bank may make, the reserves
against deposits a bank must maintain, the types and terms of loans a bank may
make and the collateral it may take, the activities of a bank with respect to
mergers and consolidations, and the establishment of branches. Pennsylvania law
permits statewide branching.
Under the National Bank Act, as amended, NPB is required to obtain the
prior approval of the OCC for the payment of dividends if the total of all
dividends declared by NPB in one year would exceed NPB's net profits (as defined
and interpreted by regulation) for the current year plus its retained net
profits (as defined and interpreted by regulation) for the two preceding years,
less any required transfers to surplus. In addition, NPB may only pay dividends
to the extent that its retained net profits (including the portion transferred
to surplus) exceed statutory bad debts (as defined by regulation). Under FDICIA,
any depository institution, including NPB, is prohibited from paying any
dividends, making other distributions or paying any management fees if, after
such payment, it would fail to satisfy its minimum capital requirements.
A subsidiary bank of a bank holding company, such as NPB, is subject to
certain restrictions imposed by the Federal Reserve Act on any extensions of
credit to the bank holding company or its subsidiaries, on investments in the
stock or other securities of the bank holding company or its subsidiaries, and
on taking such stock or securities as collateral for loans. The Federal Reserve
Act and Federal Reserve regulations also place certain limitations and reporting
requirements on extensions of credit by a bank to the principal shareholders of
its parent holding company, among others, and to related interests of such
principal shareholders. In addition, such legislation and regulations may affect
the terms upon which any person becoming a principal shareholder of a holding
company may obtain credit from banks with which the subsidiary bank maintains a
correspondent relationship.
NPB, and the banking industry in general, are affected by the monetary and
fiscal policies of government agencies, including the Federal Reserve. Through
open market securities transactions and changes in its discount rate and reserve
requirements, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve exerts considerable
influence over the cost and availability of funds for lending and investment.
Competition
The financial services industry in the Company's service area is extremely
competitive. The Company's competitors within its service area include
multi-bank holding companies, with resources substantially greater than those of
the Company. Many competitor financial institutions have legal lending limits
substantially higher than NPB's legal lending limit. In addition, NPB competes
with savings banks, savings and loan associations, credit unions, money market
and other mutual funds, mortgage companies, leasing companies, finance
companies, and other financial services companies that offer products and
services similar to those offered by NPB on competitive terms.

<PAGE>
In September 1994, federal legislation was enacted that is expected to have
a significant effect in restructuring the banking industry in the United States.
See "Interstate Banking Legislation" herein. As a result, the Company expects
the operating environment for Pennsylvania-based financial institutions to
become increasingly competitive.
Additionally, the manner in which banking institutions conduct their
operations may change materially as the activities increase in which bank
holding companies and their banking and nonbanking subsidiaries are permitted to
engage, and funding and investment alternatives continue to broaden, although
the long-range effects of these changes cannot be predicted, with reasonable
certainty, at this time. These changes most probably will further narrow the
differences and intensify competition between and among commercial banks, thrift
institutions, and other financial service companies. See "Proposed Legislation
and Regulations" herein.
Interstate Banking Legislation
In September 1994, the Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching
Efficiency Act (the "Interstate Banking Act") was enacted. The Interstate
Banking Act facilitates the interstate expansion and consolidation of banking
organizations (i) by permitting bank holding companies that are adequately
capitalized and adequately managed, beginning September 29, 1995, to acquire
banks located in states outside their home states regardless of whether such
acquisitions are authorized under the law of the host state; (ii) by permitting
the interstate merger of banks after June 1, 1997, subject to the right of
individual states to "opt in" or "opt out" of this authority before that date;
(iii) by permitting banks to establish new branches on an interstate basis
provided that such action is specifically authorized by the law of the host
state; (iv) by permitting, beginning September 29, 1995, a bank to engage in
certain agency relationships (i.e., to receive deposits, renew time deposits,
close loans (but not including loan approvals or disbursements), service loans,
and receive payments on loans and other obligations) as agent for any bank or
thrift affiliate, whether the affiliate is located in the same state or a
different state than the agent bank; and (v) by permitting foreign banks to
establish, with approval of the regulators in the United States, branches
outside their "home" states to the same extent that national or state banks
located in the home state would be authorized to do so. One effect of this
legislation will be to permit the Company to acquire banks and bank holding
companies located in any state and to permit qualified banking organizations
located in any state to acquire banks and bank holding companies located in
Pennsylvania, irrespective of state law.
In July 1995, the Pennsylvania Banking Code was amended to authorize full
interstate banking and branching under Pennsylvania law. Specifically, the
legislation (i) eliminates the "reciprocity" requirement previously applicable
to interstate commercial bank acquisitions by bank holding companies, (ii)
authorizes interstate bank mergers and reciprocal interstate branching into
Pennsylvania by interstate banks, and (iii) permits Pennsylvania institutions to
branch into other states with the prior approval of the Pennsylvania Department
of Banking.
Overall, this federal and state legislation is likely to have the effect of
increasing consolidation and competition and promoting geographic
diversification in the banking industry.

<PAGE>
Proposed Legislation and Regulations
From time to time, various federal and state legislation is proposed that
could result in additional regulation of, and restrictions on, the business of
the Company and NPB, or otherwise change the business environment.
It cannot be predicted whether any of this legislation, if enacted, will
have a material effect on the business of the Company.
Interest Rate Swaps
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 119, "Disclosure about
Derivative Financial Instruments and Fair Value of Financial Instruments,"
requires that information about the amounts, nature, and terms of interest rate
swaps be disclosed. See Note 10 to the Company's Consolidated Financial
Statements included at Item 8 hereof. In 1995, the interest rate swaps to which
NPB was a party had the effect of increasing the Company's net interest income
by $1.1 million over what would have been realized had NPB not entered into the
swap agreements. Should rates rise in 1996, the Company may recognize lower net
interest income for the year than would have been recognized had NPB not entered
into the interest rate swap agreements.
The Company uses interest rate swap agreements for interest rate risk
management. No derivative financial instruments are held for trading purposes.
The contract or notional amounts of the swap agreements do not represent
exposure to credit loss. Potential credit risk on these contracts arises from
the counterparty's inability to meet the terms of the agreement. Management
considers the credit risk of these agreements to be minimal and manages this
risk through routine review of the counterparty's financial ratings.

Determinations of maturities included in the loan maturity table are based
upon contract terms. In situations where a "rollover" is appropriate, the
Company's policy in this regard is to evaluate the credit for collectability
consistent with the normal loan evaluation process. This policy is used
primarily in evaluating ongoing customers' use of their lines of credit that are
at floating interest rates. The Company's outstanding lines of credit to
customers are not material.

</TABLE>
Risk Elements
The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared on the accrual
basis of accounting, including the recognition of interest income on the loan
portfolio.
In determining income from loans, including consumer and residential
mortgage loans, the Company generally adheres to the policy of not accruing
interest on a loan on which default of principal or interest has existed for a
period of 90 days or more. A loan past due 90 days or more remains on accrual
only if the loan is fully secured and in the process of collection. When a loan
reaches nonaccrual status, any interest accrued but unpaid on it is, if payment
is considered questionable, reversed and charged against current income.
Thereafter, until such time as the loan becomes current, interest is included in
income only to the extent it is received in cash.
Restructured loans are loans on which the interest rate has been reduced
because of a weakened financial position of the borrower. There were no
restructured loans at December 31, 1995, and an immaterial amount of such loans
at the end of prior years.
Nonaccrual loans, loans 90 days or more past due and still on accrual, and
restructured loans together constitute nonperforming loans.
14
<PAGE>
When other real estate owned is included with nonperforming loans, the total is
nonperforming assets.
Other real estate owned decreased in 1995 due primarily to properties
acquired through bank acquisition having substantially been resolved through
sales.
The following table shows the balance at year-end and the effect on
interest income of nonperforming assets in the Company's loan portfolio, by
category, for each year in the five-year period ended December 31, 1995:

At December 31, 1995, the Company had no foreign loans and no loan
concentrations exceeding 10% of total loans not disclosed in the table on page
14 hereof. "Loan concentrations" are considered to exist when there are amounts
loaned to a multiple number of borrowers engaged in similar activities that
would cause them to be similarly impacted by economic or other conditions. Loans
recorded in the category of other real estate owned are valued at the lower of
book value of loans outstanding or fair market value.
At December 31, 1995, the Company was not aware of any potential problem
loans that are not otherwise included in the foregoing table. "Potential problem
loans" are loans where information about possible credit problems of borrowers
has caused management to have serious doubts about the borrowers' ability to
comply with present repayment terms.
15
<PAGE>
At December 31, 1995, the Company had no loans that are considered
highly-leveraged transactions under applicable regulations, although the Company
had approximately $1,750,000 in aggregate loans outstanding that, but for their
small individual amount, would be considered such loans. A "highly-leveraged
transaction" is a transaction for the purpose of the buyout, acquisition, or
recapitalization of a corporation, which involves new debt that doubles the
corporation's debt and results in a leverage ratio greater than 50%, produces a
leverage ratio greater than 75% where 25% or more results from a buyout,
acquisition, or recapitalization, or is designated as such by a syndication
agent or regulatory agency.

</TABLE>
The allowance for loan and lease losses is established through charges to
earnings in the form of a provision for loan and lease losses. Loans and leases
that are determined to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance, and
subsequent recoveries are credited to the allowance. Factors that influence
management's judgment in determining the amount of the provision for loan and
lease losses charged to operating expense include the following:
1. An ongoing review by management of the quality of the overall loan
and lease portfolio.
2. Management's continuing evaluation of potential problem and
nonperforming loans and leases.
3. Loan and lease classifications and evaluations as a result of
periodic examinations by federal supervisory authorities.
4. Management's evaluation of prevailing and anticipated economic
conditions and their related effect on the existing loan and lease
portfolio.
5. Comments and recommendations by the Company's independent
accountants as a result of their regular examination of the Company's
financial statements.
It is management's practice to review the allowance for loan and lease
losses regularly to determine whether additional provision should be made after
considering the factors noted above. In 1995, the provision remained the same
due to current loan quality, economic conditions, and net loan charge-offs in
1995.
The Company makes partial loan charge-offs when it determines that the
underlying collateral is not sufficient to cover a nonperforming loan. Loan loss
allowances are maintained at least in amounts sufficient to cover the estimated
future loss, if any. Partial charge-offs in 1995 totalled $1,383,000, or 39% of
the gross charge-off amount of $3,509,000, as compared to $800,000, or 27% of
the gross charge-off amount of $3,002,000 in 1994. Partial charge-offs
represented .2% and .1% of average total loans for 1995 and 1994, respectively.

</TABLE>
The Company regards the allowance as a general allowance which is available
to absorb losses from all loans. The allocation of the allowance as shown in the
table should neither be interpreted as an indication of future charge-offs, nor
as an indication that charge-offs in future periods will occur in these amounts
or in these proportions. Before 1992, the Company did not allocate the
allowance; therefore, no comparable information exists for prior years.

Item 7. 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
During 1995 total assets increased to $1,251.4 million, an increase of
$114.2 million or 10.0% over the $1,137.2 million in 1994. Total assets at the
end of 1994 increased $203.5 million or 21.8% over the $933.7 million in 1993.
The growth in assets in 1994 was strongly influenced by the acquisition of eight
branches of Central Pennsylvania Savings Association (CPSA), Shamokin, Pa on May
6, 1994, providing approximately $125 million in additional assets.
Total cash and cash equivalents increased $7.1 million or 20.6% in 1995
compared to 1994 versus an increase of $4.4 million or 14.8% in 1994 compared to
1993. The increase in 1995 is due to an increased number of branch locations
requiring vault cash, as well as a higher level of interest bearing deposits in
banks.
Net loans and leases increased to $918.7 million during 1995, an increase
of $107.4 million or 13.2% compared to 1994. Net loans increased $91.4 million
in 1994 or 12.7% compared to 1993. Loan growth in 1995 was primarily the result
of favorable local economic conditions and the investment of deposits from new
branch locations. Loans originated for immediate resale during 1995 amounted to
$11.5 million. For 1995 the Company's credit quality is reflected by the ratio
of net charge-offs to average loans of .24%, and the level of non-performing
loans to total loans of 0.96%. The Company has no significant exposure to energy
and agricultural-related loans. Non-performing loans in 1994 were 1.38% of total
loans.
Investments, which are the Company's secondary use of funds, increased $2.8
million or 1.2% to $240.9 million in 1995. In 1994, the investment portfolio
reflected an increase of $93.6 million or 64.8% compared to 1993. The 1994
increase was primarily in U.S. Government securities and tax advantaged
municipal securities, and was due primarily to the investment of deposits
acquired from CPSA. At year end 1995, the FASB has provided a one-time window of
opportunity for reclassifying investments accounted for under Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments
in Debt and Equity Securities." As a result, the Company has designated its
entire investment portfolio as available for sale. Future changes in the market
value of these securities will be accounted for, net of tax, as an adjustment to
shareholders' equity. The Company may elect to designate new purchases of
investment securities as held to maturity in the future, however. Proceeds from
the sale of investment securities in 1995 were $6.9 million, on which a gain of
$388,000 was recognized.
As the primary source of funds, aggregate deposits of $914.9 million
increased $50.3 million or 5.8% compared to 1994. Deposits of $864.6 million
increased $116.4 million in 1994 or 15.6% compared to 1993. Deposit liabilities
assumed in the CPSA transaction in 1994 amounted to $125.0 million. In addition
to deposits, growth in earning assets has been
26
<PAGE>
funded somewhat through purchased funds and borrowings. These include securities
sold under repurchase agreements, federal funds purchased, short-term
borrowings, and long-term borrowings. In aggregate, these funds totaled $214.5
million at the end of 1995, a $38.5 million or 21.9% increase compared to 1994.
The 1994 amount of borrowings and purchased funds of $176.0 million represented
an increase of $82.1 million or 87.4% compared to 1993. The Company used
long-term fixed rate borrowings in 1995 primarily to fund long-term mortgage
assets and investment securities.
Shareholders' equity increased by $21.7 million or 25.6% in 1995 to $106.6
million. This increase was due primarily to net unrealized gains on investment
securities available for sale, the retention of earnings, and reinvestment of
cash dividends under the Company's dividend reinvestment plan. Cash dividends
paid in 1995 increased $919,000 or 17.2% compared to the cash dividends paid in
1994 and increased $939,000 or 21.3% compared to cash dividends paid in 1993.
Earnings retained in 1995 were 59.3% compared to 63.5% in 1994.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net income for 1995 of $15.4 million was 5.0% more than the $14.6 million
reported in 1994. The 1994 amount was 10.1% more than the $13.3 million in 1993.
On a per share basis, net income was $2.04, $1.95 and $1.78 for 1995, 1994 and
1993, respectively. There was no material effect on the Company's results of
operations for 1994 relating to the acquisition of eight branches of CPSA, on
May 6, 1994.
Net interest income is the difference between interest income on assets and
interest expense on liabilities. Net interest income decreased $227,000 or 0.4%
to $55.2 million in 1995 from the 1994 amount of $55.4 million. The decrease was
due primarily to a significant increase in the cost of interest bearing
liabilities that was only partially offset by a higher yield on total interest
earning assets. Interest rate risk is a major concern in forecasting the
earnings potential. In 1995, the Company's prime rate was 8.50% through January
31, 1995. From February 1, 1995 through July 6, 1995, the prime rate was 9.00%.
From July 7, 1995 to December 20, 1995, the prime rate was 8.75%. On December
21, 1995 the prime rate was 8.50% through year end. In 1994, the Company's prime
rate was 6.0% 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%. From
May 18 to August 15, 1994, the prime rate was 7.25%. From August 16 to November
14, 1994, the prime rate was 7.75%. On November 15, 1994, the prime rate changed
to 8.50%. Net interest income in 1994 increased $8.0 million or 16.8% to $55.4
million from 1993 due primarily to an increase in average loans outstanding and
the investment portfolio. Interest expense during 1995 increased $15.0 million
or 52.0% compared to the prior year due to higher interest rates on deposits and
short-term borrowings. Interest expense during 1994 increased $5.0 million or
21.0% compared to 1993. Despite the current decreasing 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 marketing 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 remained the
same at $3,200,000 for both 1995 and 1994. The 1994
27
<PAGE>
provision decreased $1,945,000 compared to 1993. The allowance for loan and
lease losses of $20.4 million in 1995 and $19.3 million in 1994 as a percentage
of gross loans was 2.2% and 2.3% in 1995 and 1994, respectively. Net loan
charge-offs of $2,144,000, $1,799,000 and $1,944,000 during 1995, 1994 and 1993,
respectively, continue to be comparable with those of the Company's peers.
The increase in other income in 1995 compared to 1994 was $2.2 million or
40.7% and was due to a gain on the sale of securities and mortgages of $388,000
versus a loss on same of $445,000 in 1994, increased other service charges and
fees of $637,000, increased trust income of $389,000, increased service charges
on deposit accounts of $188,000, and increased equity in undistributed net
earnings of affiliates of $152,000. The increase in other income in 1994
compared to 1993 was $478,000 or 9.7% and was due to increased service charges
on deposit accounts of $485,000, increased other service charges and fees of
$363,000, and increased trust department income of $172,000. These increases
were partially offset by losses on the sale of mortgages of $319,000 and a
decrease in income recognized from affiliates of $24,000. Sales of investment
securities in 1995 and 1994 totaled $6.9 million and $1.6 million, respectively.
"Total other expenses" increased $628,000 or 1.7% in 1995 when compared to 1994.
By category, the Company's "salaries, wages and employee benefits" increased
$1,231,000; "net premises and equipment" increased $458,000; "FDIC assessment"
decreased $86,000; and "other operating" expenses decreased $975,000. "Total
other expenses" increased $8,285,000 or 28.9% in 1994 when compared to 1993. By
category, the Company's "salaries, wages and employee benefits" increased
$4,689,000; "net premises and equipment" increased $2,095,000; "other operating
expenses" increased $1,226,000; and the "FDIC assessment" increased $275,000.
The primary reasons for increased expenses in 1994 include both one-time and
ongoing costs associated with the purchase of eight branches from CPSA and the
opening of a trust subsidiary, Investors Trust Company, located in Wyomissing,
Berks County. For 1995, there are no individual items of other operating
expenses that exceed one percent of the aggregate of total interest income and
other income. In 1994, the category "Stationery and Supplies" included in other
operating expenses of $930,000 exceeded one percent of the aggregate of total
interest income and other income.
Income before income taxes and the cumulative effect of a change in
accounting for income taxes increased by $1,344,000 or 6.5% compared to 1994
when income increased by $2,116,000 or 11.4% compared to 1993. The increase in
income taxes is due to the higher pre-tax income levels. The Company adopted,
effective January 1, 1993, SFAS 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." Under the
liability method specified by SFAS 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are
determined based on the difference between financial statement and tax bases of
assets and liabilities as measured by the enacted tax rates which will be in
effect when these differences reverse. Deferred tax expense is the result of
changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities. The change from a previously
adopted liability method to the liability method of accounting for income taxes
as specified by SFAS 109 increased net earnings for 1993 by $500,000, or $.07
per share, the cumulative effect of the change in accounting related to prior
years to 1993 which were not restated.

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 $94.9 million during 1995. Long-term
liquidity and funding needs decreased in 1995 resulting in a reduction of
long-term borrowings in the amount of $6.2 million from the Federal Home Loan
Bank. For cash flow information regarding liquidity, please refer to the
Company's Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows included herein.
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.
The following table shows separately the interest rate sensitivity of each
category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities at December
31, 1995:

</FN>
</TABLE>
Interest rate sensitivity is a function of the repricing characteristics of
the Company's assets and liabilities. These
29
<PAGE>
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 interest 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 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 that short-term interest rate levels may fall in
1996. Given this assumption, the Company's asset/liability strategy for 1996 is
to remain in a negative gap position (interest-bearing liabilities subject to
repricing greater than interest-earning assets subject to repricing) for periods
up to a year so that the impact of a falling rate environment will not have a
negative impact on net interest income and will not 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.
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
1995 1994 1993
<S> <C> <C> <C>
CAPITAL LEVELS
Tier 1 leverage ratio 7.59% 7.35% 8.80%
Tier 1 risk-based ratio 10.97 10.85 11.76
Total risk-based ratio 12.23 12.11 13.03
CAPITAL PERFORMANCE
Return on average assets 1.30 1.41 1.60
Return on average equity 16.30 17.30 17.40
Earnings retained 59.30 63.50 66.90
Internal capital growth 25.60 3.20 16.30
</TABLE>
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 December 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
believes that, under
30
<PAGE>
current regulations, the Company will continue to meet its minimum capital
requirements in the foreseeable future.
The Company does not presently have any commitments for significant capital
expenditures. The Company is not under any agreement with regulatory authorities
nor is it aware of any current recommendations by the regulatory authorities
which, if they were to be implemented, would have a material effect on
liquidity, capital resources or operations of the Company.
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. At December 31, 1995, a total of 177,140 shares have been
repurchased at an aggregate cost of $5,382,000.
FUTURE OUTLOOK
Due to several major bank mergers taking place in southeastern
Pennsylvania, the Company anticipates a volatile banking market in 1996 in both
the consumer and corporate sector of its marketplace. In 1996, the Company will
initiate Private Banking to handle the financial and investment needs of the
professional market, introduce its debit card, open approximately six new
supermarket branches, and install several new remote ATMs. These new initiatives
will not start contributing to profits until 1997 and beyond so that 1996
earnings may be somewhat negatively impacted by the initial costs of these new
operations.
Beginning January 1, 1996 the FDIC reduced the insurance premiums that
financial institutions pay on commercial bank deposits to zero from the previous
rate of $.04 per hundred in effect since May 1, 1995. The Company must continue
to pay $.23 per hundred on approximately $225 million of deposits at branches
acquired from Sellersville Savings and Loan Association and CPSA. In order for
the rate on these deposits to also be lowered, there is a chance that in 1996
the Company will have to pay a onetime assessment of between $1 million and $2
million to help recapitalize the Savings Association Insurance Fund (SAIF)
segment of the FDIC. At the time of this report, this issue is part of the
unresolved federal budget debate occurring in Washington, DC.
The Company cannot predict if the pending legislation will be enacted as
presently proposed, but expects that any legislation recapitalizing SAIF will
likely impose additional deposit insurance costs on the Company attributable to
its acquired SAIF-insured deposits. These costs may have a material adverse
effect on the Company's earnings when incurred.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies followed by National Penn Bancshares, Inc.
(the "Company") and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, National Penn Bank (the
"Bank"), Investors Trust Company ("ITC"), National Penn Investment Company
and National Penn Life Insurance Company, conform with generally accepted
accounting principles and with general practice within the banking
industry.
The Company, primarily through its Bank subsidiary, has been serving
residents and businesses of southeastern Pennsylvania since 1874. The Bank,
which has in excess of 40 branch locations, is a locally managed community
bank providing commercial banking products, primarily loans and deposits.
Trust services are provided through ITC. The Bank and ITC encounter
vigorous competition for market share in the communities they serve from
bank holding companies, other community banks, thrift institutions and
other non-bank financial organizations such as mutual fund companies,
insurance companies and brokerage companies.
The Company, the Bank, and ITC are subject to regulations of certain
state and federal agencies. These regulatory agencies periodically examine
the Company and its subsidiaries for adherence to laws and regulations. As
a consequence, the cost of doing business may be affected.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.
Investments owned between 20% and 50% are accounted for using the equity
method.
All material inter-company balances have been eliminated.
INVESTMENT SECURITIES
Investments in securities are classified in one of two categories:
held to maturity and available for sale. Debt securities that the Company
has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as
held to maturity and are reported at amortized cost. As the Company does
not engage in security trading, the balance of its debt securities and any
equity securities are classified as available for sale. Net unrealized
gains and losses for such securities, net of tax, are required to be
recognized as a separate component of shareholders' equity and excluded
from determination of net income. Gains or losses on disposition are based
on the net proceeds and cost of the securities sold, adjusted for
amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts, using the specific
identification method.
LOANS AND LEASES AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN AND LEASE LOSSES
Loans and leases are stated at the amount of unpaid principal, reduced
by unearned discount and an allowance for loan and lease losses. Interest
on loans is calculated based upon the principal amount outstanding. The
allowance for loan and lease losses is established through a provision for
loan and lease losses charged as an expense. Loans and leases are charged
against the allowance for loan and lease losses when management believes
that the collectibility
36
<PAGE>
of the principal is unlikely. The allowance is an amount that management
believes will be adequate to absorb possible losses on existing loans and
leases that may become uncollectible, based on evaluations of the
collectibility of loans and leases and prior loan and lease loss
experience. The evaluations take into consideration such factors as changes
in the nature and volume of the loan and lease portfolio, overall portfolio
quality, review of specific problem loans and leases, and current economic
conditions that may affect the borrower's ability to pay. Accrual of
interest is stopped on a loan or lease when management believes, after
considering economic and business conditions and collection efforts, that
the borrower's financial condition is such that collection of interest is
doubtful.
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan" as amended
by SFAS 118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan - Income
Recognition and Disclosures" on January 1, 1995. This new standard 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 the 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 114
excludes such homogeneous loans as consumer and mortgages. The adoption of
SFAS 114 on January 1, 1995 did not have a material impact on the Company's
financial consolidated condition or results of operations.
PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT
Buildings, equipment and leasehold improvements are stated at cost
less accumulated depreciation and amortization computed by the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
The FASB issued a new standard, SFAS 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of",
which provides guidance on when to recognize and how to measure impairment
losses of long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles and how to
value long-lived assets to be disposed of. The adoption of this new
statement is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's
consolidated financial position or results of operations. The Company is
required to adopt this new standard for its year ended December 31, 1996.
PENSION PLAN
Net pension expense consists of service cost, interest cost, return on
pension assets and amortization of unrecognized initial net assets. The
Company accrues pension costs annually.
INCOME TAXES
Under the liability method of accounting for income taxes specified by
SFAS 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the
difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and
liabilities as measured by the enacted tax rates which will be in effect
when these differences reverse. Deferred tax expense is the result of
changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities. The
37
<PAGE>
principal types of differences between assets and liabilities for financial
statement and tax return purposes are allowance for loan losses, deferred
loan fees, and securities available for sale.
The change from a previously adopted liability method to the liability
method, specified by SFAS 109, of accounting for income taxes increased net
earnings for 1993 by $500,000, or $.07 per share, by the cumulative effect
of the change in accounting related to years prior to 1993 which were not
restated.
STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS
The Company considers cash and due from banks, interest bearing
deposits in banks and federal funds sold as cash equivalents for the
purposes of reporting cash flows. Cash paid for interest and taxes is as
follows (in thousands):
Year Ended December 31
1995 1994 1993
Interest... $40,505 $28,358 $23,953
======= ======= =======
Taxes ..... $ 7,286 $ 7,244 $ 8,226
======= ======= =======
Non-cash transfers of investment securities from held to maturity to
available for sale amounted to $85,718,000 amortized cost and $87,708,000
fair value.
LOAN FEES AND RELATED COSTS
The Company defers and amortizes certain origination and commitment
fees, and certain direct loan origination costs over the contractual life
of the related loans. This results in an adjustment of the related loan's
yield.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
SFAS 107, "Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments,"
requires all entities to disclose the estimated fair value of its assets
and liabilities considered to be financial instruments. Financial
instruments requiring disclosure consist primarily of investment
securities, loans and deposits.
EARNINGS PER SHARE
Earnings per share are calculated on the basis of the weighted average
number of shares outstanding of 7,547,382, 7,525,100 and 7,480,740 for the
years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively, after giving
retroactive effect to 5% stock dividends paid on October 31, 1995 and
October 31, 1994, and to a 7% stock dividend paid on October 25, 1993. All
per share data included in these financial statements has been restated for
the stock dividends.

2. INVESTMENT SECURITIES
The Company classifies debt and marketable equity securities in two
categories: securities available for sale and securities held to maturity.
Securities available for sale are measured at fair value, with net
unrealized gains and losses reported, net of tax, as a component in equity.
Securities held to maturity are carried at amortized cost.
The amortized cost, unrealized gains and losses and fair values of the
company's securities available for sale and securities held to maturity at
December 31, 1995 and 1994 are summarized as follows (in thouands):

Guide to Implementation of Statement No. 115 on Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." This guide allows enterprises
to reassess the appropriateness of the classification of all securities
held. A one-time reassessment can be made on one day between November 15,
1995 and December 31, 1995. Reclassifications from the held-to-maturity
category that result from this one-time reassessment will not call into
question the intent of an enterprise to ho other debt and equity securities
to maturity in the future.
Based on this special report, on December 29, 1995, the Company
reclassified certain securities from the held-to-maturity category to the
available-for-sale category. The transfer was made at fair value and
resulted in an estimated net unrealized gain of $10,123,000 and an increase
in retained earnings of $6,579,000 based on current market values.
The following table lists the maturities of securities held at
December 31, 1995 classified as securities available for sale at market
value and securities held to maturity. Expected maturities will differ from
contractu maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay
obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

Proceeds from the sales of investments in debt securities during 1995,
1994 and 1993 were $6,853,000, $1,635,000 and $0, respectively. Gross gains
and losses realized on those sales in 1995, 1994 and 1993 were not
material.
As of December 31, 1995 and 1994, investment securities with a book
value of $78,559,000 and $74,260,000, respectively, were pledged to secure
public deposits and for other purposes as provided by law. As of December
31, 1995 and 1994, the Company did not have any marketable equity
securities of any one issuer where the book value exceeded 10% of
shareholders' equity.

========= =========
</TABLE>
Loans and leases on which the accrual of interest has been
discontinued or reduced amounted to approximately $7,257,000 and $9,328,000
at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. If interest on these loans had
been accrued, such income would have approximated $305,000 and $486,000 for
1995 and 1994, respectively. Loan balances past due 90 days or more which
are not on a non-accrual status, but which management expects will
eventually be paid in full, amounted to $1,764,000 and $2,114,000 at
December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
The balance of impaired loans was $5,380,000 at December 31, 1995. The
Bank 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 impaired loan balance included $5,380,000 of
non-accrual loans. The allowance for loan loss associated with the
$5,380,000 of impaired loans was $931,000 at December 31, 1995. The average
impaired loan balance was $7,368,000 in 1995 and the income recognized on
impaired loans during 1995 was $528,000. The Bank's policy for interest
income recognition on impaired loans is to recognize income under the
accrual method. The Bank recognizes income on non-accrual loans under the
cash basis when the loans are both current and the collateral on the loan
is sufficient to cover the outstanding obligation to the Bank. If these
factors do not exist, the Bank will not recognize them.
Changes in the allowance for loan and lease losses were as follows (in
thousands):

The FASB issued a new standard, SFAS No. 122, "Accounting for Mortgage
Servicing Rights, an Amendment of SFAS No. 65," which requires that a
mortgage banking enterprise recognize as a separate asset rights to service
mortgage loans for others, however those servicing rights are acquired. In
circumstances where mortgage loans are originated, separate asset rights to
service mortgage loans are only recorded when the enterprise intends to
sell such loans. The adoption of this new statement is not expected to have
a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position or
results of operations. The Company will be required to adopt this standard
for its year ended December 31, 1996.

5. SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS
Federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to
repurchase generally mature within thirty days from the date of the
transactions. Short-term borrowings consist of Treasury Tax and Loan Note
Options and various other borrowings which generally have maturities of
less than one year. The details of these categories are as follows (in

7. PENSION AND CAPITAL ACCUMULATION PLANS
The Company has a non-contributory defined benefit pension plan
covering substantially all employees. The Company sponsored pension plan
provides retirement benefits under pension trust agreements and under
contracts with insurance companies. The benefits are based on years of
service and the employee's compensation during the highest five consecutive
years during the last ten years of employement. The Company's policy is to
fund pension costs allowable for income tax purposes.
The following table sets forth the plan's funded status and amounts
recognized in the Company's consolidated balance sheets (in thousands):

5.5%, respectively, in 1994; and 6.5% and 4.0%, respectively, in 1993. The
expected long-term rate of return on assets was 8.25% for 1995, 8.25% for
1994 and 6.5% for 1993.
The Company has a capital accumulation and salary reduction plan under
Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Under the
plan, all employees are eligible to contribute from 3% to a maximum of 10%
of their annual salary with the Company matching 50% of any contribution
between 3% and 7%. Matching contributions to the plan were $303,000,
$285,000 and $208,000 for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993,
respectively.

10. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK
The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-
sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of
its customers and to reduce its own exposure to fluctuations in interest
rates. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit,
standby letters of credit, and interest rate swaps. Those instruments
involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in
excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The
contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of
involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments.
The Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance
by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend
credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual
notional amount of these instruments. The Company uses the same credit
policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for
on-balance-sheet instruments. For interest rate swaps, the contract or
notional amounts do not represent exposure to credit loss. The Company
controls the credit risk of its interest rate swap agreements through
credit approvals, limits, and monitoring procedures.
Unless otherwise noted, the Company does not require collateral or
other security to support financial instruments with credit risk. The
contract or notional amounts as of December 31, 1995 and 1994 are as
follows (in thousands):
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
1995 1994
<S> <C> <C>
Financial instruments whose
contract amounts represent
credit risk:
Commitments to extend credit $105,432 $101,031
Standby letters of credit 9,048 7,793
Financial instruments whose
notional or contract amounts
exceed the amount of credit risk:
Interest rate swap agreements 100,000 100,000
</TABLE>
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as
long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract.
Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination
clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are
expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts
do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company
evaluates each customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The
amount of collateral obtained if deemed necessary by the Company upon
extension of credit is based on management's credit evaluation. Collateral
held varies but may include personal or commercial real estate, accounts
receivable, inventory and equipment.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the
Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those
guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing
arrangements, including commercial paper, bond financing, and similar
transactions. The credit risk involved in issuing letters
46
<PAGE>
of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan
facilities to customers. The extent of collateral held for those
commitments at December 31, 1995 varies up to 100%; the average amount
collateralized is 75%.
Interest rate swap transactions generally involve the exchange of
fixed and floating rate interest payment obligations without the exchange
of the underlying principal amounts. The Company uses swaps as part of its
asset and liability management process with the objective of hedging the
relationship between money market deposits that are used to fund prime rate
loans. Past experience has shown that as the prime interest rate changes,
rates on money market deposits do not change with the same volatility. The
interest rate swaps have the effect of converting the rates on money market
deposit accounts to a more market driven floating rate typical of prime in
order for the Company to recognize a more even interest rate spread on this
business segment. This strategy will cause the Company to recognize, in a
rising rate environment, a lower overall interest rate spread than it
otherwise would have without the swaps in effect. Likewise, in a falling
rate environment, the Company will recognize a larger interest rate spread
than it otherwise would have without the swaps in effect. In 1995, the
interest rate swaps had the effect of increasing the Company's net interest
income by $1.1 million over what would have been realized had the Company
not entered into the swap agreements.
11. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
SFAS 107 requires disclosure of the estimated fair value of an
entity's assets and liabilities considered to be financial instruments. For
the Company, as for most financial institutions, the majority of its assets
and liabilities are considered to be financial instruments as defined in
SFAS 107. However, many of such instruments lack an available trading
market as characterized by a willing buyer and willing seller engaging in
an exchange transaction. Also, it is the Company's general practice and
intent to hold its financial instruments to maturity and to not engage in
trading or sales activities. Therefore, the Company had to use significant
estimations and present value calculations to prepare this disclosure.
Changes in assumptions or methodologies used to estimate fair values
may materially affect the estimated amounts. Also, management is concerned
that there may not be reasonable comparability between institutions due to
the wide range of permitted assumptions and methodologies in the absence of
active markets. This lack of uniformity gives rise to a high degree of
subjectivity in estimating financial instrument fair values.
Fair values have been estimated using data that management considered
the best available, and estimation methodologies deemed suitable for the
pertinent category of financial instrument. The estimation methodologies
and resulting fair values, and recorded carrying amounts at December 31,
1995 were as follows (in thousands):
Fair value of loans and deposits with floating interest rates is
generally presumed to approximate the recorded carrying amounts. Financial
instruments actively traded in a secondary market have been valued using
quoted available market prices.

estimated fair value of off-balance sheet items which total $216,229,000
and $211,380,000 at year end 1995 and 1994, respectively, which are
primarily comprised of interest rate swap agreements and unfunded loan
commitments which are generally priced at market at the time of funding.
The Company's remaining assets and liabilities are not considered
financial instruments. No disclosure of the relationship value of the
Company's deposits is required by SFAS 107.

12. SIGNIFICANT GROUP CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK
The Company grants commercial and residential loans to customers
throughout southeastern Pennsylvania. Although the Company has a
diversified loan portfolio, a substantial portion of its debtors' ability
to honor their contracts is dependent upon the economic sector.
13. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Certain directors and officers of the Company and the Bank, their
immediate families, and the companies with which they are associated, were
customers of and have had banking transactions with the Bank in the
ordinary course of business. All loans and commitments included in such
transactions were made on substantially the same terms, including interest
rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable
transactions with other persons and, in the opinion of management of the
Bank, do not involve more than a normal risk of collectibility or present
other unfavorable features. The aggregate dollar amount of these loans was
$3,893,000 and $4,496,000 at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
During 1995, $787,000 of new loans were made, and repayments totaled
$1,390,000.

14. EQUITY TRANSACTIONS
The Company has an employee stock option plan for certain key
employees. A total of 1,277,114 shares of common stock, restated for stock
dividends and splits, have been made available for options to be granted
through February 24, 1997. The Company also has a non-employee director
stock option plan. Under this plan, a total of 157,500 shares of common
stock, restated for stock dividends and splits, have been made available
for options to be granted through January 3, 2004. Under both plans, the
option price per share is equivalent to 100% of the quoted market price on
the date the options were granted. These options are exercisable pursuant
to vesting schedules, commencing two years and expiring ten years and one
month from the date of issue. The number of unoptioned shares available for
granting totaled 502,633 at the beginning of the year and 812,785 at the
end of the year. At December 31, 1995, 136,882 shares are exercisable.

The Company has authorized 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock with no
stated par value. Voting powers, preferences, dividend rights, conversion
rights, redemption and liquidation rights, if any, may be determined by the
Board of Directors in their sole discretion. There are no shares
outstanding at December 31, 1995, however, shares may be issued from time
to time as a class without series or either in whole or in part in one or
more series if so determined by the Board of Directors.
The Company has a dividend reinvestment plan available to shareholders
who elect to reinvest their dividends in additional shares of the Company's
common stock which may be purchased in the open market or from authorized
but unissued shares. All purchases to date that have been made from
authorized but unissued common shares were at a purchase price equal to the
fair market value of such shares. Fair market value, for this purpose, is
generally the closing sale price per common share as reported on The Nasdaq
Stock Market for the date of the dividend reinvestment.
The FASB issued a new standard, SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation," which contains a fair-value based method for
valuing stock-based compensation that entities may use, which measures
compensation cost at the grant date based on the fair value of the award.
Compensation is then recognized over the service period, which is usually
the vesting period. Alternatively, the standard permits entities to
continue accounting for employee stock options and similar equity
instruments under Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." Entities that continue to
account for stock options using APB Opinion 25 are required to make pro
forma disclosures of net earnings per share, as if the fair-value based
method of accounting defined in SFAS No. 123 had been applied. The Company
has not determined which method it will follow in the future, but
anticipates following APB Opinion 25. The Company will be required to adopt
the new standard for its year ended December 31, 1996.

16. REGULATORY RESTRICTIONS
The Bank is required to maintain average reserve balances with the
Federal Reserve Bank. The average amount of those balances for the year
ended December 31, 1995 was approximately $7,148,000.
Dividends are paid by the Company from its assets which are mainly
provided by dividends from the Bank. However, certain restrictions exist
regarding the ability of the Bank to transfer funds to the Company in the
form of cash dividends, loans or advances. Under the restrictions in 1996,
the Bank, without prior approval of bank regulators, can declare dividends
to the Company totaling $14,145,000 plus additional amounts equal to the
net earnings of the Bank for the period January 1, 1996 through the date of
declaration less dividends previously paid in 1996.
The Company is required to maintain minimum amounts of Tier 1 and
total capital to "risk-weighted" assets and a minimum Tier 1 leverage
ratio, as defined by banking regulators. At December 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 minimum 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's actual Tier 1 and total capital ratios at December 31,
1995 were 10.97% and 12.23% respectively and the Company's Tier 1 leverage
ratio was 7.59%. The Company's management believes that, under current
regulations, the Company will continue to meet its minimum capital
requirements in the foreseeable future.
17. SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN
The Company adopted a Shareholder Rights Plan (the "Rights Plan) in
1989 to protect shareholders from attempts to acquire control of the
Company at an inadequate price. Under the Rights Plan, the Company
distributed a dividend of one right to purchase a unit of preferred stock
on each outstanding common share of the Company. The rights are not
currently exercisable or transferable, and no separate certificates
evidencing such rights will be distributed, unless certain events occur.
The rights expire on August 22, 1999.
After the rights become exercisable, under certain circumstances, the
rights (other than rights held by a 19.9% beneficial owner or an "adverse
person") will entitle the holders to purchase either the Company's common
shares or the common shares of the potential acquirer at a substantially
reduced price.
The Company is generally entitled to redeem the rights at $.001 per
right at any time until the tenth business day following a public
announcement that a 19.9% position has been acquired. Rights are not
redeemable following an "adverse person" determination.
The Rights Plan was not adopted in response to any specific effort to
acquire control of the Company. The issuance of rights had no dilative
effect, did not affect the Company's reported earnings per share, and was
not taxable to the Company or its shareholders.

Exhibit 10.1
NATIONAL PENN BANCSHARES, INC.
AMENDED AND RESTATED
DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN
1. The purpose of the National Penn Bancshares, Inc. (the "Company")
Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the "Plan") is to provide holders of record and
beneficial holders of the Company's Common Shares (the "Shares") the opportunity
to reinvest their dividends in Shares.
2. Mellon Securities Trust Company (the "Administrator") is hereby
appointed as Plan administrator and, by executing this Plan below, the
Administrator hereby accepts its appointment as administrator and agrees to the
terms and conditions of the Plan set forth herein. The Company may terminate the
Administrator's appointment at any time and appoint in its place another
corporation or bank to serve as Plan administrator.
3. Holders of record of Shares desiring to participate in the Plan must
submit a properly signed Authorization Form to the Administrator in the form
required by the Administrator. Beneficial holders of Shares desiring to
participate in the Plan must either become shareholders of record by having
shares transferred into their own names or arrange with the record holders
(e.g., a broker or bank nominee) to participate in the Plan on their behalf. A
shareholder of record or a beneficial holder must own fifty (50) or more Shares
in order to participate in the Plan. Such Shares may be held (a) in certificate
form, (b) in an account established under the Plan, (c) on his behalf by a
record holder, or (d) in a combination of the foregoing.
4. An applicant's participation in the Plan will begin on the first
dividend record date after the Administrator's receipt of the participant's
Authorization Form or after completion of other arrangements by a record holder
satisfactory to the Company and the Administrator, if the fifty (50) Shares
participation requirement is then met.
5. Pursuant to a participant's authorization, the Company will pay
dividends on Shares held of record by the participant and on Shares held by the
Administrator under the Plan directly to the Administrator. As agent for the
participants, the Administrator will apply such dividends, cash proceeds of
fractional Shares resulting from stock dividends, and all voluntary cash
payments permitted by Section 14 hereof, to the purchase of whole and fractional
Shares from the Company's authorized but unissued Shares for the participants'
accounts. The price of Shares purchased from the Company will be equal to the
fair market value of such Shares on the dividend payment date. As used herein,
"fair market value" of the Shares shall be the closing sale price for such
shares as reported on the Nasdaq National Market; if no sale of Shares occurred
on the dividend payment date, "fair market value" shall be determined by
reference to such closing sale price on the next preceding day on which a sale
occurred. No Shares shall be sold under the Plan at less than par value. If a
dividend payment date falls on a Saturday, Sunday or holiday, fair market value
of the Shares will be based upon quotations as of the close of business on the
preceding Friday or business day, as the case may be.
6. The Company reserves the right to direct the Administrator from time to
time to purchase Shares under the Plan in the open market. Open market purchases
shall be made as soon as practicable on or after the dividend payment date but
in no circumstances later than 30 days after such date. The purchase price to
participants for Shares purchased in the open market will be the cost (including
brokerage commission) to the Administrator of such purchases. Where any Shares
are purchased in the open market, no Shares shall be allocated to the
participants' accounts until the date on which the Administrator has purchased
sufficient Shares
<PAGE>
from the Company and in the open market to cover the quarterly purchases for all
participants in the Plan. In such event, the purchase price to all participants
shall be based on the weighted averages of the prices of all Shares purchased
from the Company and in the open market.
7. All shares purchased by the Administrator for Plan accounts shall be
held in its name or in the name of its nominee.
8. As soon as practicable after the quarterly purchase or purchases are
completed, the Administrator shall send each participant (excluding persons
participating through arrangements made by record holders on their behalf) a
statement confirming the purchases for the participant's account and containing
other information, including total Shares held by the Administrator in the
account as of the preceding dividend record date, dividends received, voluntary
cash payments made (if any), amount invested, additional Shares purchased and
the price per Share. No certificate will be issued to a participant for the
Shares purchased and held in his account unless such participant so requests in
writing or until such participant's account is terminated. Such requests must be
submitted to the Administrator in writing after the Shares have been purchased.
No certificates for fractional Shares will be issued.
9. Plan participants may deposit certificates for Shares registered in
their names with the Administrator for safekeeping. A participant who desires to
do so must complete the appropriate box on an Authorization Form and submit the
properly signed Form to the Administrator together with the certificates for the
Shares and payment of a $10.00 service fee.
10. The Administrator shall charge $3.00 service fee at the time a
participant's account is terminated and at the time of each issuance of stock
certificates requested by the participant.
11. The Administrator shall forward proxies to participants (excluding
persons participating through arrangements made by record holders on their
behalf) for Shares held under the Plan and will vote any Shares that it holds
for a participant's account in accordance with the participant's written
instructions. If a participant does not return a proxy, such Shares will not be
voted.
12. At a participant's request and upon receipt of written instructions and
documentation satisfactory to the Administrator, the Administrator shall
transfer to a person designated by a participant, or sell on a participant's
behalf, all or any portion of the whole number of Shares credited to the
participant's Plan account. In the event of any such transfer, the Administrator
shall send the transferee a certificate issued by the Company for the
transferred Shares. Any such sale may be effected by the Administrator in any
manner deemed to be reasonable and appropriate by the Administrator. At the
Administrator's sole option and discretion, the Administrator may aggregate
Shares to be sold on behalf of various Plan participants, sell any such Shares
through a broker of its choosing (the Administrator being authorized to effect
sales of Shares through brokerage services provided by the Administrator or one
of its affiliates) or in a negotiated transaction without a broker (including a
sale to the Company), and the Administrator may purchase any such Shares on
behalf of other Plan participants. Any sale to the Company or purchase by the
Administrator on behalf of Plan accounts shall be made at "fair market value"
(as defined in Section 5 hereof) on the date of the transaction. Following any
sale on behalf of a participant, the Administrator shall issue to the selling
participant a check in an amount equal to his proportionate share of the net
proceeds of such sale (after the deduction of brokerage commissions and other
sale costs, if any, paid or incurred by or payable by the Administrator).
13. A participant may terminate his participation in the Plan at any time
by giving written notice of termination to the Administrator.
<PAGE>
Dividends corresponding to a record date occurring after the Administrator
receives such notice shall be sent directly to the former participant. The
Administrator, at the direction of the Company, may terminate a participant's
participation in the Plan at any time by mailing or otherwise delivering written
notice of termination to the participant. Within two weeks after termination of
an account, the Administrator shall send the participant certificates issued by
the Company for the whole Shares in such participant's account, unless the
former participant shall have requested sale or transfer of such Shares by the
Administrator pursuant to and in accordance with the requirements of Section 12
hereof. In every case of termination, the participant's interest in fractional
Shares shall be converted to cash at the fair market value of the Shares on the
date of termination. If a participant disposes of all Shares registered in such
participant's name on the books of the Company, the Administrator shall continue
to reinvest the dividends on Shares held in the participant's account (if the
fifty (50) Shares participation requirement continues to be met) unless the
Company shall direct the Administrator to terminate such participant's account.
14. In order to implement the fifty (50) Shares participation requirement
of Section 3 hereof in a fair and equitable manner, shareholders enrolled in the
Plan on June 1, 1996 holding fewer than fifty (50) Shares shall not be subject
to the fifty (50) Shares participation requirement until June 1, 1997. In order
to increase their ownership to at least the fifty (50) Shares level, such
participants (and only such participants) may make voluntary cash payments to
the Administrator in any amount from $100 to $1,500 maximum (in the aggregate)
through the May 1997 dividend payment date, for investment under the Plan. Any
such voluntary cash payment will be used to purchase Shares in accordance with
Sections 5 and 6 hereof on or after the dividend payment date next following the
Administrator's receipt of such payment in collected funds. No interest will be
paid on voluntary cash payments regardless of when they are received. This
limited voluntary cash payment feature shall terminate on the May 1997 dividend
payment date. The Administrator shall terminate any participant's account that
does not meet the fifty (50) Shares participation requirement on June 1, 1997.
Upon any such termination, the Administrator shall send the participant
certificates issued by the Company for the whole Shares in such participant's
account, and cash for the fair market value of any fractional Shares in such
account, as provided in Section 13 hereof.
15. Any record holder of Shares who holds in the aggregate less than fifty
(50) Shares, whether or not he is a participant in the Plan, may have all (but
not less than all) his Shares sold on his behalf by the Administrator, pursuant
to and in accordance with the requirements of Section 12 hereof. This limited
sale feature shall terminate on June 1, 1997.
