     30, 1997 and 1996, respectively, and 8,450,619 and 8,413,161 for the six
     months ended, June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

     The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement of Financial
     Accounting Standards No. 128., EARNINGS PER SHARE, which is effective for
     financial statements issued after  December 15, 1997.  Early adoption of
     the new standard is not permitted.  The new standard eliminates primary
     and fully diluted earnings per share and requires presentation of basic and
     diluted earnings per share together with disclosure of how the per share
     amounts were computed.  The adoption of this new standard is not expected
     to have a material impact on the disclosure of earnings per share in the
     financial statements.

6.   Loans on which the accrual of interest has been discontinued or reduced
     amounted to approximately $3,948,936 and $4,856,210 at June 30, 1997 and
     1996, respectively.  Loan balances past due 90 days or more that are not on
     a non-accrual status, but management expects it   will eventually be paid
     in full amounted to approximately $0 at June 30, 1997 and $0 at June 30,
     1996.  Although the Company has non-performing loans of approximately
     $3,948,936 at June 30, 1997, management believes it has adequate
     collateral to limit its credit risks.

     The balance of impaired loans was $1,407,388 at June 30, 1997.  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 June 30, 1997.  The income recognized on impaired loans during
     the six month period ended June 30, 1997 was $941. The cash collected on
     impaired loans during this six month period was $242,280, of which
     $241,339 was credited to the principal balance outstanding on such loans.
     Interest that would have been accrued on impaired loans during   this six
     month period in 1997 was $45,541.  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
six month period ended June 30, 1997.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

     Total consolidated assets as of June 30, 1997 were $346.5 million, a
decrease of $8.6 million from the $355.1 million reported at year end, December
31, 1996.  This decrease is primarily due to a $18.1 million decrease in
investment securities, partially offset by a $11.8 million increase in cash and
cash equivalents.  Liabilities decreased $10.9 million primarily due to deposit
runoff and a decrease in long term borrowings of $8.9 million and $2.5 million,
respectively.

     This $18.1 million decrease in investment securities is comprised mostly of
a decrease in held to maturity ("HTM") investment securities of $28.3 million,
partially offset by a $10.3 million increase in available for sale ("AFS")
investment securities. The decrease in HTM investment securities is primarily
due to scheduled maturities in the first six months of 1997.  HTM investment
securities are primarily comprised of taxable corporate debt securities which
are "A" rated or better by Moodys and/or Standard & Poor at the time of
purchase, with maturities in the three to five year range.  The increase in AFS
investment securities is due to the purchase of taxable corporate debt
securities in the second quarter of 1997.  In addition to taxable corporate debt
securities, AFS investment securities include equity securities comprised of
preferred and common stock.

     Total loans decreased $3.2 million to $205.8 million at June 30, 1997 from
$209 million at December 31, 1996, as originations did not keep pace with loan
maturities and payoffs in the first six months of 1997.  The allowance for loan
loss decreased $531 thousand to $8.6 million at June 30, 1997.  The level of
allowance for loan loss reserve represents 4.2% of total loans at June 30, 1997
versus 4.3 % at December 31, 1996.

     Total deposits, the primary source of funds, decreased $8.9 million to
$245.3 million at June 30, 1997, from $254.2 million at December 31, 1996.  This
decrease is primarily due to runoff experienced in noninterest bearing, NOW and
money market deposits of $11.7 million partially offset by a $2.9 million
increase in certificates of deposits in the first half of 1997.  FHLB advances
decreased $2.5 million as an advance was paid off in January 1997.

     Consolidated stockholder's equity increased $2.3 million to $86.9 million
at June 30, 1997 from $84.6 million at December 31, 1996.  This increase is
primarily due to net income of $4.3 million for the six month period of 1997,
partially offset by two quarterly cash dividends totaling $2.2 million.
Additionally, in 1997 the Company repurchased 9,403 shares of the Company's
class A common stock at a cost of $119 thousand which is reflected as treasury
stock, and an adjustment for accumulated unrealized gain on available for sale
investment securities of $68 thousand.

<PAGE>


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Consolidated net income for the three months ended, June 30, 1997 was
$2,241,676 or $.26 per share, as compared to net income of $2,202,419 or $.26
per share, for the same three month period in 1996.  Consolidated net income for
the six month period ended, June 30, 1997 was $4,355,800, or $.52 per share, as
compared to $4,312,652 for the six month period June 30, 1996.

     Net interest income before provision for loan loss reserve increased $.8
million, or 16%, to $5.6 million for the second quarter of 1997 as compared to
$4.8 million for the same quarter ended in 1996.  This increase in net interest
income was due to a $17 million increase in the average balance of loans, or 9%,
to $210 million for the second quarter, in addition to the receipt of accretion
income in the second quarter of approximately $375 thousand.  For the
comparative six month periods, net interest income increased $115 thousand, or
1%, to $10.6 million at June 30, 1997, versus $10.5 million at June 30, 1996.
This increase in net interest income was primarily due to an increase in
interest income on loans relating to a higher average balance for the six month
period, partially offset by a decrease in interest income on investment
securities of $229 thousand.  Total interest expense on deposits and borrowings
were $2.5 million and $5 million for the respective three and six month periods
for 1997, versus $2.5 million and $5 million for 1996.

     There was no provision for loan loss recorded for either the three or
six month periods for 1997 and 1996, however a recovery of $101 thousand
(credit) was recorded in the second quarter of 1997.  Overall, Management
considers the current level of allowance for loan loss to be adequate at June
30, 1997.

     Total non interest income for the three months ended June 30, 1997 was $537
thousand as compared to $3 million for the same period in 1996.  This decrease
is primarily due to a decrease in gains on sales of real estate of $1.6 million,
due to sales of other real estate in 1996.  Additionally, there was a decrease
in other income of $490 thousand due to a receipt of a litigation settlement in
the second quarter of 1996.  For the comparative six month period, noninterest
income decreased $2.4 million primarily due to a decrease in gains on sale of
real estate in 1997.
<PAGE>


     Total non interest expenses for the three months ended June 30, 1997 was
$3.1 million, a decrease of $1.6 million, as compared to $4.7 million for the
same period in 1996.  For the comparative six month period, total non interest
expense was $5.7 million for 1997 as compared to $7.8 million for the same six
month period in 1996.  These decreases are primarily attributable to decreases
in employee benefits expense, the result of a one-time accrual of approximately
$2 million relating to the establishment of a liability for the Stock Option and
Appreciation Right Plan recorded in the second quarter of 1996.  Additionally,
other operating expenses increased $185 thousand to $1.1 million for the second
quarter of 1997.  For the comparative six month period, other operating expenses
decreased $200 thousand to $2 million as compared to $2.2 million for the six
month period in 1996.


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 June 30, 1997, 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:
<TABLE>

         Tier 1 leverage ratio       25.03%            22.2%
         Tier 1 risk-based ratio     31.02%            27.7%
         Total risk-based ratio      32.30%            29.0%

        CAPITAL PERFORMANCE
         Return on average assets     2.5%(1)          2.6%
         Return on average equity    10.3%(1)          11.1%
                                             (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.


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 50% 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 June 30, 1997:

     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
