6.   Loans on which the accrual of interest has been discontinued
or reduced amounted to approximately $4,052,681 and $7,708,477 at
September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  Loan balances past due 90 days or
more that are not on a non-accrual status, but management expects will
eventually be paid in full amounted to approximately $0 at September 30, 1996
and $391,257 at September 30, 1995.  Although the Company has non-performing
loans of approximately  $4,052,681 at September 30, 1996, management believes
it has adequate collateral to limit its credit risks.

    The balance of impaired loans was $2,766,983 at September 30, 1996. 
The Company identified a loan impaired when it is probable that interest
and principal will not be collected according to the contractual terms of
the loan agreements.  The allowance for credit loss associated with
impaired loans was $ -0- at September 30, 1996.  The income recognized on
impaired loans during the nine month period ended September 30, 1996
was $3,984.

    The cash collected on impaired loans during this nine month period was
$269,326, of which $265,342 was credited to the principal balance outstanding on
such loans.  Interest that would have been accrued on impaired loans during this
nine month period in 1996 was $81,411.  The Company's policy for interest income
recognition on impaired loans is to recognize income on currently performing
restructured loans under the accrual method.  The Company recognizes income on
non-accrual loans under the cash basis when the principal payments on the
loans become current and the collateral on the loan is sufficient to cover
the outstanding obligation to the Company.  If these factors do not exist,
the Company does not recognize income.

ITEM 2  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULT 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 and its wholly owned
subsidiaries for the nine month period ended September 30, 1996.


FINANCIAL CONDITION
- -------------------
     Total assets as of September 30, 1996 were $346.4 million, a
decrease of $9.9 million from the $356.3 million reported at year end,
December 31, 1995. This decrease is primarily due to decreases in cash and cash
equivalents and loans of $20.7 million, partially offset by a $11.1 million
increase in investment securities.

    The decrease in cash and equivalents of $20.7 million is primarily
attributable to the purchase of investment securities and the funding of
maturing deposits in the first quarter of 1996.  Total loans decreased $1.3
million to $197.1 million from $198.4 million at December 31, 1995.  This
decrease is primarily due to maturities, payoffs and amortization
of loan principal, partially offset by loan originations. Investment
securities increased $11.1 million primarily due to the purchase of
corporate bonds and preferred stock.  Other real estate decreased $471
thousand due to the sale of properties, in addition to a reduction of
new property foreclosures in 1996. The allowance for loan loss decreased
$158 thousand, due to chargeoffs and negative provision of $1 million in
the third quarter, to $9.7 million which represents 5% of  total loans.

     Total deposits, the primary source of funds, decreased $23 million to
$245.3 million at September 30, 1996, from $268.2 million at December 31,
1995.  This decrease is primarily due to runoff experienced in
certificates of deposits totaling $26.1 million.  FHLB advances increased
$2.5 million due to an advance taken in March, 1996 for $2.5 million for a
term of ten years. Other liabilities increased $5 million, partially
attributable to the establishment of a reserve of approximately $2.5 million
relating to stock appreciate rights arising from the Stock Option and
Appreciation Plan.  This Plan provides employees compensation in the form of
options to purchase shares of the Company's common stock.  At the time an
option is granted, an identical number of stock appreciation rights are
granted, which enable the recipient on exercise, to receive payment in cash
of increases in the market value of the stock from the date of grant.
Accordingly, the Company has accrued approximately $2.5 million in the first
nine months of 1996 toward the difference between current fair  market values
and the values at the stock appreciation grant date.

     Stockholder's equity increased $5.6 million to $82.8 million
at September 30, 1996 from $77.2 million at December 31, 1995.  This increase
is primarily due net income of $7.4 million for the nine months period of
1996, partially offset by cash dividends of $1.5 million.  Additionally, in
1996 the Company repurchased 148,096 shares of the Company's class A common
stock at a cost of $1.5 million which is reflected as treasury stock, and an
adjustment for accumulated unrealized loss on available for sale investment
securities of $44 thousand.  These decreases were partially offset by a $1.2
million increase due to stock options exercised in the third quarter of
111,991 shares.


LIQUIDITY & INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY
- -------------------------------------

     Liquidity is the ability to ensure that adequate funds will
be available to meet its financial commitments as they become due.  In
managing its liquidity position, all sources of funds are evaluated, the
largest of which is deposits. Also taken into consideration is the repayment
of loans.  These sources provide alternatives to meet its short term
liquidity needs.  Longer liquidity needs may be met by issuing longer term
deposits and by raising additional capital. The liquidity ratio is generally
maintained equal to or greater than 25% of deposits and short term liabilities.

<PAGE>

     The liquidity ratio of the Company remains strong at approximately 46%
and exceeds the Company's peer group levels and target ratio set forth in the
Asset/Liability Policy.  The Company's level of liquidity is provided by
funds invested primarily in corporate bonds, US Treasuries and
agencies, and to a lesser extent, obligations of state and political
subdivisions and federal funds sold.  The overall liquidity position is
monitored on a monthly basis.

    Interest rate sensitivity is a function of the repricing
characteristics of the Company's assets and liabilities. These include the
volume of assets and liabilities repricing, the timing of the repricing, and
the interest rate sensitivity gaps is a continual challenge in a changing rate
environment. The following table shows separately the interest sensitivity of
each category of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities as of
September 30, 1996:

</TABLE>


     The Company's exposure to interest rate risk is somewhat mitigated by
a significant portion of the Company's loan portfolio consisting of
floating rate loans, which are tied to the prime lending rate but which have
interest rate floors and no interest rate ceilings.  Although the Company is
originating fixed rate loans, a significant portion of the loan portfolio
continues to be comprised of floating rate loans with interest rate floors.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------

     Net income for the three months ended, September 30, 1996
was $3,105,833 or $.37 per share, as compared to net income of $2,141,187 or
$.26 per share, for the same three month period in 1995.  Net income for the
nine months ended September 30, 1996 was $7,418,485, or $.92 per share, as
compared to $6,165,091, or $.76 per share, for the same nine month period in
1995.  These increases are primarily attributable to an increase in net
interest income in addition to income relating to loan recoveries recorded in
the third quarter of 1996.

     Net interest income increased $2.9 million to $8.1 million for the
third quarter of 1996 as compared to $5.2 million for the same period
ended, 1995. For the comparative nine month period, net interest income
increased $4.2 million to $18.6 million as compared to $14.8 million for the
same period in 1995.  These increases are primarily attributable to interest
recoveries arising from the repayment of a large loan, partially charged in
prior periods, and an increase in an average earning assets relating to the
acquisition of Knoblauch State Bank ("KSB") in 1995.  These increases are
comprised of $4.3 million and $2.8 million in interest income and fees on
loans for the respective three and nine month periods.  The year to date
average balance of loans for the three and nine months ended September 30,
1996 were approximately and $196 million and $198.2 million, respectively,
as compared to $203.5 and $178.2 for the same periods in 1995.  Additionally,
there was a $.1 million decrease and a $.6 million increase in interest and
dividends on investment securities and interest bearing time deposits at
banks for the respective three and nine month periods. These increases were
partially offset by a $.5 million and $.7 million increase in interest
expense on deposits for the respective three and nine month periods.  The
year to date average balance of deposits for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 1996 were approximately $254.3 million and $256.1
million, respectively, as compared to $190.8 and $191.9 million for same
periods in 1995.

     Due to recoveries exceeding charge-offs by $1.3 million for
the third quarter, a recovery from allowance for loan loss of a $1 million
(credit) was recorded in the third quarter of 1996, primarily due to
Management's assessment that the level of reserves are adequate.

     Total non interest income for the three months ended September 30,
1996 was $.4 million, a decrease of $.1 as compared to $.5 million for the
same period in 1995.  For the comparative nine month period, non interest
income was $3.9 million, an increase of $2.5 million as compared to $1.4 million
for the same nine month period in 1995.  These increases are primarily due to
an increase in gains on sale of other real estate and loans in 1996. 
Additionally, there was an increase on service charges and fees on deposit
accounts primarily due to the acquisition of KSB.

     Total non interest expenses for the three months ended September 30,
1996was $4.9 million, an increase of $2.2 million, as compared to $2.7 million
for the same period in 1995.  For the comparative six month period ended
September 30, 1996, non-interest expense was $12.7 million, a $5.4 million
increase, as compared to $7.3 million for the same nine month period in 1995. 
These increases are partially attributable to salaries and employee
benefits due to an increase in staffing expenses attributable to the KSB
acquisition, in addition to an expense recorded relating to the establishment of
a reserve for the Stock Option and Appreciation Right Plan.

     The Company has a Stock Option and Appreciation Right Plan which
provides employees compensation in the form of options to purchase shares
of the Company's common stock.  At the time an option is granted, an
identical number of stock appreciation rights are granted, which enable the
recipient on exercise, to receive payment in cash of increases in the market
value of the stock from the date of grant. Accordingly, the Company accrued
$2.4 million relating to these stock appreciation rights as employee benefits
expense in the current period toward the difference between current market
values and the values at the grant date.


<PAGE>

     Occupancy expenses decreased $.1 million for the three month period
due to the closure of a branch in October, 1995, while occupancy expense
increased $.1 million for the nine month comparative periods with the newly
acquired office locations in the KSB acquisition.  Other operating expenses
increased $.5 million for both the respective three and nine month periods
ended September 30, 1996 and are partially attributable to an increase in legal
fees in addition to increased costs associated with the operation of the newly
acquired office locations in the KSB acquisition.


CAPITAL ADEQUACY
- ---------------

     The company is required to maintain minimum amounts of capital to
total "risk weighted" assets and a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio, as
defined by the banking regulators.  At September 30, 1996, the Company was
required to have a minimum Tier 1 and total capital ratios of 4% and 8%,
respectively, and a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of 3% plus an additional
cushion of 100 to 200 basis points.

     The table below provides a comparison of Royal Bancshares of
Pennsylvania's risk-based capital ratios and leverage ratios:

                                             (1) annualized
</TABLE>

     The Company's ratios 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.  The Company
currently meets the criteria for a well capitalized institution, and management
believes that the Company will continue to meets its minimum capital
requirements.  At present, the Company has no commitments for significant
capital expenditures.

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