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

                              =======    =======    =======

          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):

          On November 15, 1995, the FASB issued a special report entitled "A
     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

          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.

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

          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.

          Long-term borrowings         75,785        77,777


          Fair value of financial instrument liabilities with no stated
     maturities has been estimated to equal the carrying amount (the amount
     payable on demand), totaling $464,018 for 1995 and $491,768 for 1994.

          The fair value of the net loan portfolio has been estimated using
     present value cash flow, discounted at the treasury rate adjusted for
     non-interest operating costs and giving consideration to estimated
     prepayment risk and credit loss factors.

          Net loans      $953,962      $918,699

                         At December 31, 1994

          Net Loans      $814,056      $811,302

          There is no material difference between the carrying amount and
     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.

     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.

               REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

Board of Directors
National Penn Bancshares, Inc.

     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of National
Penn Bancshares, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the
related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders' equity and
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on audits.

     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

     In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of National Penn
Bancshares, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the
consolidated results of their operations and their consolidated cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995 in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.
