ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
THE COMPANY
Royal Bancshares of Pennsylvania, Inc. ("RBPA" or the "Registrant") is
a Pennsylvania business corporation and a bank holding company registered under
the federal Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the "Holding Company
Act"), and is supervised by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System
(Federal Reserve Board). Its legal headquarters is located at 732 Montgomery
Avenue, Narberth, PA. On June 29, 1995, pursuant to the plan of reorganization
approved by the shareholders of Royal Bank of Pennsylvania (the "Bank"), all of
the outstanding shares of common stock of the Bank were acquired by the RBPA and
were exchanged on a one-for-one basis for common stock of RBPA. The principal
activities of RBPA are owning and supervising the Bank, which engages in a
general banking business in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. RBPA also has a
wholly-owned nonbank subsidiary, Royal Investments of Delaware, Inc., which is
engaged in investment activities. At December 31, 1997, RBPA had consolidated
total assets of approximately $416.6 million, total deposits of approximately
$265.4 million and stockholders' equity of approximately $89.6 million.
From time to time, RBPA may include forward-looking statements relating
to such matters as anticipated financial performance, business prospects,
technological developments, new products, research and development activities
and similar matters in this and other filings with the Securities Exchange
Commission. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides safe
harbor for forward-looking statements. In order to comply with the terms of the
safe harbor, RBPA notes that a variety of factors could cause RBPA's actual
results and experience to differ materially from the anticipated results or
other expectations expressed in RBPA's forward-looking statements. The risks and
uncertainties that may affect the operations, performance development and
results of RBPA's business include the following: general economic conditions,
including their impact on capital expenditures; business conditions in the
banking industry; the regulatory environment; rapidly changing technology and
evolving banking industry standards; competitive factors, including increased
competition with community, regional and national financial institutions; new
service and product offerings by competitors and price pressures and similar
items.
THE BANK
The Bank was incorporated in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania on July
30, 1963, and was chartered by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Department of
Banking and commenced operation as a Pennsylvania state-chartered bank on
October 22, 1963. The Bank is the successor of the Bank of King of Prussia, the
principal ownership of which was acquired by Daniel M. Tabas in 1980. Royal Bank
of Pennsylvania is an insured bank under the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (the "FDIC").
The Bank derives its income principally from interest charged on loans
and to a lesser extent, interest on investment securities and fees received in
connection with the origination of loans and other services. The Bank's
principal expenses are interest expense on deposits and operating expenses.
Funds for activities are provided principally by operating revenues, deposit
growth and the repayment of outstanding loans.
Service Area. The Bank's primary service area includes Montgomery,
Chester, Bucks, Delaware, Berks and Philadelphia counties, southern New Jersey
and Delaware in the vicinity of Wilmington. This area includes residential areas
and industrial and commercial businesses of the type usually found within a
major metropolitan area. The Bank serves this area from thirteen offices located
throughout Montgomery, Philadelphia and Berks counties. The Bank also considers
the states of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New
2
<PAGE> 3
York and Delaware to constitute its service area for certain services. On
occasion, the Bank will do business with clients located outside of its service
area. The Bank's legal headquarters are located at Route 202 and Warner Road,
King of Prussia, PA.
The Bank conducts business operations as a commercial bank offering
checking accounts, savings and time deposits, and loans, including residential
mortgages, home equity and SBA loans. The Bank also offers safe deposit boxes,
collections, and other customary bank services (excluding trust) to its
customers. Drive-up, ATM, and night depository facilities are available.
Services may be added or deleted from time to time. The services offered and the
business of the Bank are not subject to significant seasonal fluctuations. The
Bank is a member of the Federal Reserve Fedline Wire Transfer System.
Competition. The Bank is subject to intense competition from commercial
banks, thrifts and other financial institutions. The Bank actively competes with
such banks and institutions for local deposits and local retail and commercial
accounts, and is also subject to competition from banks from areas outside its
service area for certain segments of its business. For a number of years,
competition has been increasing in the Bank's basic banking business because of
the growing number of financial service entities that have entered our local
market. This trend was accelerated by the passage of federal laws in the early
1980's which sharply expanded the powers of thrifts and credit unions, giving
them most of the powers that were formerly reserved for commercial banks. While
attempting to equalize the competition among the depository institutions, these
statutes have little effect on less regulated entities such as money market
mutual funds and investment banking firms. Many of these competitors have
substantially greater financial resources and more extensive branch systems. To
be successful, small banks must find a competitive edge. The Bank prides itself
on giving its customers personalized service. The Bank has continued at modest
levels its research activities relating to the development of new services and
the improvement of existing bank services. Marketing activities have continued
that have allowed the Bank to remain competitive. These activities include the
review of existing services and the solicitation of new users of banking
services. The Bank is not dependent upon a single customer or a small number of
customers, the loss of which should have a material adverse effect on the Bank
or RBPA.
Employees. RBPA employed approximately 125 persons on a full-time
equivalent basis as of December 31, 1997.
Deposits. At December 31, 1997, total deposits of the Bank were
distributed among demand deposits (14%), money market deposit accounts, savings
and Super Now (32%) and time deposits (53%). At year end 1997, deposits
decreased $11.2 million from year end 1996, or 4.4%, primarily due to decreases
experienced in certificate of deposits and to a lesser extent, NOW and money
market deposits. We note that the Bank or any bank could be financially stressed
in the event a material number of the depositors elected to withdraw deposits
from the institution within a short period of time. Conceivably, this could
occur even though the FDIC insures each depositor for up to $100,000.
Lending. At December 31, 1996, the Bank had a total loan portfolio of
$291 million, representing 69% of total assets. The loan portfolio is
categorized into commercial, commercial mortgages, residential mortgages
(including home equity lines of credit), construction, and installment loans.
Current market and regulatory trends in banking are changing the basic
nature of the banking industry. The Bank intends to keep pace with the banking
industry by being competitive with respect to interest rates and new types or
classes of deposits insofar as it is practical to do so consistent with the
Bank's size, objective of profit maintenance and stable capital structure.

NON-BANK SUBSIDIARY
On June 30, 1995, RBPA established a special purpose Delaware
investment company, Royal Investments of Delaware, Inc., ("RID") as a
wholly-owned subsidiary. Its legal headquarters is at 103 Springer Building,
3411 Silverside Road, Wilmington, DE. RID buys, holds and sells investment
securities. At December 31, 1997, total assets of RID were $27.9 million, of
which $18 million was held in investment securities comprised primarily of
corporate debt and equity securities.
SUPERVISION AND REGULATION
Holding Company. RBPA, as a Pennsylvania business corporation, is
subject to the jurisdiction of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"SEC") and of state securities commissions for matters relating to the offering
and sale of its securities. Accordingly, if RBPA wishes to issue additional
shares of its Common Stock, in order, for example, to raise capital or to grant
stock options, RBPA will have to comply with the registration requirements of
the Securities Act of 1933 as amended, or find an applicable exemption from
registration.
RBPA is subject to the provisions of the Bank Holding Company Act of
1956, as amended (the "BHC Act"), and to supervision by the Federal Reserve
Board. The BHC Act requires RBPA to secure the prior approval of the Federal
Reserve Board before it owns or controls, directly or indirectly, more than 5%
of the voting shares of any corporation, including another bank. In addition,
the BHC Act prohibits RBPA from acquiring more than 5 % of the voting shares of,
or interest in, or all or substantially all of the assets of, any bank located
outside Pennsylvania, unless such an acquisition is specifically authorized by
laws of the state in which such bank is located.
A bank holding company also is prohibited from engaging in or acquiring
direct or indirect control of more than 5% of the voting shares of any such
company engaged in non-banking activities unless the Federal Reserve Board, by
order or regulation, has found such activities to be closely related to banking
or managing or controlling banks as to be a proper incident thereto. In making
this determination, the Federal Reserve Board considers whether the performance
of these activities by a bank holding company would offer benefits to the public
that outweigh possible adverse effects.
As a bank holding company, RBPA is required to file an annual report
with the Federal Reserve Board and any additional information that the Federal
Reserve Board may require pursuant to the BHC Act. The Federal Reserve Board may
also make examinations of the holding company and any or all of subsidiaries.
Further, under Section 106 of the 1970 amendments to the BHC Act and the Federal
Reserve Board's regulation, a bank holding company and its subsidiaries are
prohibited from engaging in certain tying arrangements in connection with any
extension of credit or provision of credit of any property or services. The so
called "anti-tying" provisions state generally that a bank may not extend
credit, lease, sell property or furnish any service to a customer on the
condition that the customer obtain additional credit or service from the bank,
its bank holding company or any other subsidiary of its bank holding company, or
on the condition that the customer not obtain other credit or services from a
competitor of the bank, its bank holding company or any subsidiary of its bank
holding company.
Subsidiary banks of a bank holding company are subject to certain
restrictions imposed by the Federal Reserve Act and by state banking laws on any
extensions of credit to the bank holding company or any of its subsidiaries, on
investments in the stock or other securities of the bank holding company and on
taking of such stock or securities as collateral for loans to any borrower.

Under Pennsylvania law, RBPA is permitted to control an unlimited
number of banks. However, RBPA would be required under the BHC Act to obtain the
prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board before acquiring all or
substantially all of the assets of any bank, or acquiring ownership or control
of any voting shares of any other than the Bank, if, after such acquisition,
would control more than 5% of the voting shares of such bank.
The Bank. The deposits of Royal Bank of Pennsylvania are insured by the
FDIC. The Bank is subject to supervision, regulation and examination by the
Pennsylvania Department of Banking and by the FDIC. In addition, the Bank is
subject to a variety of local, state and federal laws that affect its operation.
Under the Pennsylvania Banking Code of 1965, as amended, the ("Code"),
the Registrant has been permitted since March 4, 1990 to control an unlimited
number of banks. However, the Registrant would be required under the Bank
Holding Company Act to obtain the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board
before it could acquire all or substantially all of the assets of any bank, or
acquiring ownership or control of any voting shares of any bank other than the
Bank, if, after such acquisition, the registrant would own or control more than
5 percent of the voting shares of such bank. The Bank Holding Company Act has
been amended by the Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Act of 1994
which authorizes bank holding companies subject to certain limitations and
restrictions to acquire banks located in any state.
In 1995, the Code was amended to harmonize Pennsylvania law with the
Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 to enable
Pennsylvania institutions to participate fully in interstate banking and to
remove obstacles to the choice by banks from other states engaged in interstate
banking to select Pennsylvania as a head office location. Some of the more
salient features of the amendment are described below.
A bank holding company located in Pennsylvania, another state, the
District of Columbia or a territory or possession of the United States may
control one or more banks, bank and trust companies, national banks, interstate
banks and, with the prior written approval of the Pennsylvania Department of
Banking, may acquire control of a bank and trust company or a national bank
located in Pennsylvania. A Pennsylvania-chartered institution may maintain
branches in any other state, the District of Columbia, or a territory or
possession of the United States upon the written approval of the Pennsylvania
Department of Banking.
Finally, a banking institution existing under the laws of another
jurisdiction may establish a branch in Pennsylvania if the laws of the
jurisdiction in which it is located permit a Pennsylvania-chartered institution
or a national bank located in Pennsylvania to establish and maintain a branch in
such jurisdiction on substantially the same terms and conditions.
In 1995, the Pennsylvania General Assembly enacted the Economic
Development Agency, Fiduciary and Lender Environmental Liability Protection Act
which, among other things, provides protection to lenders from environmental
liability and remediation costs under the environmental laws for releases and
contamination caused by others. A lender who engages in activities involved in
the routine practices of commercial lending, including, but not limited to, the
providing of financial services, holding of security interests, workout
practices, foreclosure or the recovery of funds from the sale of property shall
not be liable under the environmental acts or common law equivalents to the
Pennsylvania Department of Environmental resources or to any other person by
virtue of the fact that the lender engages in such commercial lending practices.
A lender, however, will be liable if it, its employees or agents, directly cause
an immediate release or directly exacerbate a release of regulated substances on
or from the property, or knowingly and willfully compelled the borrower to
commit an action which caused such release or violation of an environmental act.
The Economic Development Agency, Fiduciary and Lender Environmental
5
<PAGE> 6
Liability Protection Act, however, does not limit federal liability which still
exists under certain circumstances.
A subsidiary bank of a holding company is subject to certain
restrictions imposed by the Federal Reserve Act, as amended, 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, as amended, and Federal Reserve Board regulations also place certain
limitations and reporting requirements on extensions of credit by a bank to
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 who becomes a
principal shareholder of a holding company may obtain credit from banks with
which the subsidiary bank maintains a correspondent relationship.
Federal law also prohibits the acquisition of control of a bank holding
company without prior notice to certain federal bank regulators. Control is
defined for this purpose as the power, directly or indirectly, to direct the
management or policies of the bank or bank holding company or to vote 25% or
more of any class of voting securities of the bank holding company.
From time to time, various types of federal and state legislation have
been proposed that could result in additional regulation of, and restrictions
on, the business of the Bank. It cannot be predicted whether any such
legislation will be adopted or how such legislation would affect the business of
the Bank. As a consequence of the extensive regulation of commercial banking
activities in the United States, the Bank's business is particularly susceptible
to being affected by federal legislation and regulations that may increase the
costs of doing business.
Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act ("FDIC Act"), the FDIC
possesses the power to prohibit institutions regulated by it (such as the Bank)
from engaging in any activity that would be an unsafe and unsound banking
practice or in violation of applicable law. Moreover, the FDIC Act: (i) empowers
the FDIC to issue cease-and-desist or civil money penalty orders against the
Bank or its executive officers, directors and/or principal shareholders based on
violations of law or unsafe and unsound banking practices; (ii) authorizes the
FDIC to remove executive officers who have participated in such violations or
unsound practices; (iii) restricts lending by the Bank to its executive
officers, directors, principal shareholders or related interests thereof; (iv)
restricts management personnel of a bank from serving as directors or in other
management positions with certain depository institutions whose assets exceed a
specified amount or which have an office within a specified geographic area.
Additionally, the FDIC Act provides that no person may acquire control of the
Bank unless the FDIC has been given 60-days prior written notice and within that
time has not disapproved the acquisition or extended the period for disapproval.
In April 1995, regulators revised the Community Reinvestment Act ("CRA") with an
emphasis on performance over process and documentation. Under the revised rules,
the five-point rating scale is still utilized by examiners to assign a numerical
score for a bank's performance in each of three areas:
lending, service and investment.
Under the CRA, the FDIC is required to: (i) assess the records of all
financial institutions regulated by it to determine if these institutions are
meeting the credit needs of the community (including low-and moderate-income
neighborhoods) which they serve, and (ii) take this record into account in its
evaluation of any application made by any such institutions for, among other
things, approval of a branch or other deposit facility, office relocation, a
merger or an acquisition of bank shares. The CRA also requires the federal
banking agencies to make public disclosures of their evaluation of each bank's
record of meeting the credit needs of its entire community, including low-and
moderate-income neighborhoods. This evaluation will include a descriptive rate
("outstanding," "satisfactory," "needs to improve" or "substantial
noncompliance")
6
<PAGE> 7
and a statement describing the basis for the rating. After its most recent
examination of the Bank under CRA, the FDIC gave the Bank a CRA rating of
satisfactory.
Under the Bank Secrecy Act ("BSA"), banks and other financial
institutions are required to report to the Internal Revenue Service currency
transactions of more than $10,000 or multiple transactions in any one day of
which the Bank is aware that exceed $10,000 in the aggregate or other lesser
amounts. Civil and criminal penalties are provided under the BSA for failure to
file a required report, for failure to supply information required by the BSA or
for filing a false or fraudulent report.
RIEGLE-NEAL INTERSTATE BANKING AND BRANCHING EFFICIENCY ACT OF 1994.
The Bank believes that further merger activity within Pennsylvania is likely to
occur in the future, resulting in increased concentration levels in banking
markets within Pennsylvania and other significant changes in the competitive
environment. The Riegle-Neal allows adequately capitalized and managed bank
holding companies to acquire banks in any state starting one year after
enactment (September 29, 1995). Another provision of the Riegle-Neal Act allows
interstate merger transactions beginning June 1, 1997. States are permitted,
however, to pass legislation providing for either earlier approval of mergers
with out-of-state banks, or "opting-out" of interstate mergers entirely. Through
interstate merger transactions, banks will be able to acquire branches of
out-of-state banks by converting their offices into branches of the resulting
bank. The Riegle-Neal Act provides that it will be the exclusive means for bank
holding companies to obtain interstate branches. Under the Riegle-Neal Act,
banks may establish and operate a "de novo branch" in any State that "opts-in"
to de novo branching. Foreign banks are allowed to operate branches, either de
novo or by merger. These branches can operate to the same extent that the
establishment and operation of such branches would be permitted if the foreign
bank were a national bank or state bank. All these changes are expected to
intensify competition in local, regional and national banking markets. The
Pennsylvania Banking Code has been amended to enable Pennsylvania institutions
to participate fully in interstate banking (see discussion above).
FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION IMPROVEMENT ACT OF 1991
GENERAL. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of
1991 ("FDIC Improvement Act") includes several provisions that have a direct
impact on the Bank. The most significant of these provisions are discussed
below.
The FDIC is required to conduct periodic full-scope, on-site
examinations of the Bank. In order to minimize losses to the deposit insurance
funds, the FDIC Improvement Act establishes a format to more monitor
FDIC-insured institutions and to enable prompt corrective action by the
appropriate federal supervisory agency if an institution begins to experience
any difficulty. The FDIC Improvement Act establishes five "capital" categories.
They are: (1) well capitalized, (2) adequately capitalized, (3)
undercapitalized, (4) significantly undercapitalized, and (5) critically
undercapitalized. The overall goal of these new capital measures is to impose
more scrutiny and operational restrictions on banks as they descend the capital
categories from well capitalized to critically undercapitalized.
Under Current regulations, a "well-capitalized" institution would be
one that has at least a 10% total risk-based capital ratio, a 6% Tier 1
risk-based capital ratio, a 5% Tier 1 Leverage Ratio, and is not subject to any
written order or final directive by the FDIC to meet and maintain a specific
capital level. The Bank is presently categorized as a "well-capitalized"
institution.
An "adequately capitalized" institution would be one that meets the
required minimum capital levels, but does not meet the definition of a
"well-capitalized" institution. The existing capital rules
7
<PAGE> 8
generally require banks to maintain a Tier 1 Leverage Ratio of at least 4% and
an 8% total risk-based capital ratio. Since the risk-based capital requirement
to be in the form of Tier 1 capital, this also will mean that a bank would need
to maintain at least 4% Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio. An institution must
meet each of the required minimum capital levels in order to be deemed
"adequately capitalized."
An "undercapitalized" institution is one that fails to meet one or more
of the required minimum capital levels for an "adequately capitalized"
institution. Under the FDIC Improvement Act, an "undercapitalized" institution
must file a capital restoration plan and is automatically subject to
restrictions on dividends, management fees and asset growth. In addition, the
institution is prohibited from making acquisitions, opening new branches or
engaging in new lines of business without the prior approval of its primary
federal regulator. A number of other restrictions may be imposed.
A "critically undercapitalized" institution is one that has a tangible
equity (Tier 1 capital) ratio of 2% or less. In addition to the same
restrictions and prohibitions that apply to "undercapitalized" and
"significantly undercapitalized" institutions, any institution that becomes
"critically undercapitalized" is prohibited from taking the following actions
without the prior written approval of its primary federal supervisory agency:
engaging in any material transactions other than in the usual course of
business; extending credit for highly leveraged transactions; amending its
charter or bylaws; making any material changes in accounting methods; engaging
in certain transactions with affiliates; paying excessive compensation or
bonuses; and paying interest on liabilities exceeding the prevailing rates in
the institution's market area. In addition, a "critically undercapitalized"
institution is prohibited from paying interest or principal on its subordinated
debt and is subject to being placed in conservatorship or receivership if its
tangible equity capital level is not increased within certain mandated time
frames.
REAL ESTATE LENDING GUIDELINES. Pursuant to the FDIC Improvement Act,
the FDIC has issued real estate lending guidelines that establish loan-to-value
("LTV") ratios for different types of real estate loans. A LTV ratio is
generally defined as the total loan amount divided by the appraised value of the
property at the time the loan is originated. If a bank does not hold a first
lien position, the total loan amount would be combined with the amount of all
senior liens when calculating the ratio. In addition to establishing the LTV
ratios, the FDIC's real estate guidelines require all real estate loans to be
based upon proper loan documentation and a recent independent appraisal of the
property.
The FDIC's guidelines establish the following limits for LTV ratios:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
LTV
Loan Category Limit
--------------- -----
<S> <C>
Raw Land 65%
Land Development
Construction:
Commercial, Multifamily (includes
condos and co-ops), and other
Nonresidential 80%
Improved Property 85%
Owner occupied 1-4 Family and Home Equity
(without credit enhancements) 90%
</TABLE>
The guidelines provide exceptions to the LTV ratios for
government-backed loans; loans facilitating the sale of real estate acquired by
the lending institution in the normal course of business; loans where the Bank's
decision to lend is not based on the offer of real estate as collateral and such
collateral is taken only
8
<PAGE> 9
out of an abundance of caution; and loans renewed, refinanced, or restructured
by the original lender to the same borrower, without the advancement of new
money. The regulation also allows institutions to make a limited amount of real
estate loans that do not conform with the proposed LTV ratios. Under this
exception, the Bank would be allowed to make real estate loans that do not
conform with the LTV ratio limits, up to an amount not to exceed 100% of the
Bank's total capital.
TRUTH IN SAVINGS ACT. The FDIC Improvement Act also contains the Truth
in Savings Act. The purpose of this Act is to require the clear and uniform
disclosure of the rates of interest that are payable on deposit accounts by the
Bank and the fees that are assessable against deposit accounts, so that
consumers can make a meaningful comparison between the competing claims of banks
with regard to deposit accounts and products. This Act requires the Bank to
include, in a clear and conspicuous manner, the following information with each
periodic statement of a deposit account: (1) the annual percentage yield earned,
(2) the amount of interest earned, (3) the amount of any fee and charges imposed
and (4) the number of days in the reporting period. This Act allows for civil
lawsuits to be initiated by customers if the Bank violates any provision or
regulation under this Act.
MONETARY POLICY
The earnings of the Bank are affected by the policies of regulatory
authorities including the Federal Reserve Board. An important function of the
Federal Reserve System is to influence the money supply and interest rates.
Among the instruments used to implement those objectives are open market
operations in United States government securities, changes in reserve
requirements against member bank deposits and limitations on interest rates that
member banks may pay on time and savings deposits. These instruments are used in
varying combinations to influence overall growth and distribution of bank loans,
investments and deposits, and their use may also affect rates charged on loans
or paid for deposits.
The policies and regulations of the Federal Reserve Board have had and
will probably continue to have a significant effect on its reserve requirements,
deposits, loans and investment growth, as well as the rate of interest earned
and paid, and are expected to affect the Bank's operations in the future. The
effect of such policies and regulations upon the future business and earnings of
the Bank cannot be predicted.

dates between 1998 and 2003. During 1997, the Bank made aggregate lease payments
of approximately $385 thousand. The Bank believes that all of its properties are
attractive, adequately insured, and well maintained. The Bank also owns a
property located at 144 Narberth Avenue, Narberth, Pa. which may serve as a site
for future expansion.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Other than litigation incidental to RBPA's business, there are no
material legal proceedings pending to which RBPA or any of its subsidiaries is a
party or which any of their property is the subject. In management's opinion,
resolution of any pending litigation will not have a material adverse effect on
RBPA's financial position.

DIVIDENDS
Subject to certain limitations imposed by law, the Board of Directors
of the Registrant may declare a dividend on shares of common stock.
Stock Dividends. On March 20, 1995 the Board of Directors of the
Registrant declared a 6% stock dividend on both its Class A Common Stock and
Class B Common Stock shares payable on May 12, 1995 to Shareholders of record on
April 20, 1995. The stock dividend resulted in the issuance of 347,661
additional shares of Class A Common Stock and 87,359 additional shares of Class
B Common Stock . On March 14, 1996, the Board of Directors of the Registrant
declared a 6% stock dividend on both its Class A Common Stock and Class B Common
Stock shares payable May 10, 1996, to Shareholders of record on April 18, 1996.
The stock dividend resulted in the issuance of 365,229 additional shares of
Class A Common Stock and 91,641 additional shares of Class B Common Stock.. On
April 24, 1997, the Board of Directors of the Registrant declared a 4% stock
dividend on both its Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock shares
payable May 8, 1997, to Shareholders of record on April 28, 1997. The stock
dividend resulted in the issuance of 258,176 additional shares of Class A Common
Stock and 61,859 additional shares of Class B Common Stock. Future dividends, if
any, will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will be dependent
on the level of earnings and compliance with regulatory requirements.
Cash Dividends. The Registrant paid a cash dividends in each quarter of
1997 and 1996 for holders of Class A Common Stock and for holders of Class B
common stock. This resulted in a charge to retained earnings of approximately
$5.3 and $2 million for 1997 and 1996, respectively. The following table sets
forth on a quarterly basis the dividend paid to holders of each Class A and
Class B common stock for 1997 and 1996.

Future dividends must necessarily depend upon net income, capital
requirements, appropriate legal restrictions and other factors relevant at the
time the Board of Directors of the Registrant considers dividend policy. Cash
dividends available for dividend distributions to the shareholders of the
Registrant must initially come from dividends paid by the Bank to the
Registrant. Therefore, the restrictions on the Bank's dividend payments are
directly applicable to the Registrant. Under the Pennsylvania Banking Code of
1965, as amended, a restriction is placed on the availability of capital surplus
for payment of dividends by the Bank.
Under the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law of 1988, as amended,
the Registrant may pay dividends only if after payment the Registrant would be
able to pay its debts as they become due in the usual course of business and the
total assets are greater than the sum of its total liabilities plus the amount
that
12
<PAGE> 13
would be needed if the Registrant were to be dissolved at the time of the
dividend to satisfy the preferential rights upon dissolution of shareholders
whose preferential rights are superior to those receiving the dividend. See Note
Q to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this report.

</TABLE>
The Bank utilizes the reserve method of accounting for possible loan losses.
Under this method, provisions for possible loan losses are charged to operation
and recognized loan losses are charged and loan recoveries are credited to the
allowance. The allowance for possible loan loss represents the amount set aside
to protect against the risk inherent in the Bank's portfolio. Management's
periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance takes into consideration
the Bank's past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the loan
portfolio, adverse situations which may affect the borrower's ability to repay,
overall portfolio quality, and current economic conditions. Provisions for
possible loan losses are charged to earnings to bring the allowance to a level
considered by management to be appropriate in light of the foregoing
considerations. However, since loan loss reserve adequacy is subjective, the
loan loss reserve may be excessively funded or need additional funds from time
to time. A loan review is performed quarterly by the Loan Review officer to
determine the adequacy of the reserves.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSIONS AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and
results of operations should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated
Financial Statements of RBPA (see Item 8) and related notes included herein.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Total assets increased $61.4 million, or 17.3%, to $416.6 million at
December 31, 1997 from $355.1 million at year end 1996, primarily due to
significant growth experienced in loans and an increase in cash and cash
equivalents of $81.9 million and $12.0 million, respectively, in addition to an
increase in available for sale investment securities of $16.3 million. These
increases were partially offset by a $32.8 million decline in investment
securities held to maturity.
Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of
cash on hand, and cash in interest bearing and non interest bearing accounts in
banks, in addition to federal funds sold. Cash and cash equivalents increased
$12 million, or 7%, to $30.4 million at December 31, 1997, primarily due to
maturities from the investment portfolio. The average balance of cash and cash
equivalents was $25.8 million for 1997 versus $26.3 million for 1996.
Investment Securities Held to Maturity. Held to maturity investment
securities ("HTM") represent approximately 26% of average earning assets during
1997. HTM investment securities declined $49.1 million, or 43%, from $113.5
million at December 31, 1996 to $64.4 million at December 31, 1997, primarily
due to scheduled maturities exceeding purchases.
Investment Securities Available for Sale. Available for sale securities
("AFS") was $21 million at December 31, 1997, an increase of $16.3 million from
$4.7 million at December 31, 1996. This increase is primarily due to the
purchase of capital trust preferred securities of three local banks during 1997.
Loans. RBPA's primary earning assets are loans, representing
approximately 65% of average earning assets during 1997. The loan portfolio has
historically been comprised primarily of business demand loans and commercial
mortgages in roughly equal amounts, and to a significantly lesser extent one to
four family residential and home equity loans. This composition of loans did not
change during 1997. During 1997, total loans increased 39% from $209 million at
December 31, 1996 to $290.9 million at December 31, 1997, primarily due to the
purchase of a $75.4 million loan portfolio from the FDIC on December 23, 1997,
in addition to internally generated loan growth of approximately 9%. This $75.4
million portfolio was purchased at a discount of $66.7 million and is comprised
of approximately 175 commercial loans secured primarily by land, retail and
office properties in the midatlantic and northeast regions. Aside from this loan
purchase, net loans increased $17.9 million or, 9% during 1997 due to internal
loan growth exceeding maturities and payoffs.
Deposits. RBPA's primary source of funding, deposits, increased $11.2
million, or 4.3%, from $254.2 million at December 31, 1996 to $265.4 million at
December 31, 1997. This increase in deposits is primarily due to increases in
certificates of deposits and savings deposits of $17.3 and $1.1 million,
respectively, partially offset by runoff experienced in money market deposits
and non interest deposits of $6.6 and $.6 million, respectively. The $17.3
million increase in certificates of deposits is partially related
<PAGE> 22
to the funding of the FDIC loan purchase in December 1997. This $17.3 million
increase includes $10.1 million in brokered deposits.
Borrowings. Long term borrowings increased $26.9 million to $31.1
million at December 31, 1997 primarily due to a new $30 million Federal Home
Loan Bank ("FHLB") advance taken in December 1997 to help fund the purchase of
the FDIC loan portfolio, partially offset by the payoff of a $2.5 million FHLB
advance in January 1997, in addition to a scheduled maturity of a $.6 million
FHLB advance in December. The average balance of long term borrowings during
1997 was $2.5 million. Federal funds purchased was $15 million at December 31,
1997 and was paid down in full on January 2, 1998. The average balance of
Federal funds purchased during 1997 was $.1 million. The mortgage payable
balance at December 31, 1997 was $.6 million.
Stockholders' Equity. Stockholders' equity increased $4.9 million or 6%
in 1997 to $89.5 million primarily due to net income of $9.4 million partially
offset by $5.3 million in cash dividends paid in 1997. During 1997, RBPA
repurchased 9,403 shares of Class A common stock at an average cost of $12.68
per share totaling $119 thousand in accordance with a stock buyback program.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
General. RBPA's results of operations depend primarily on net interest
income, which is the difference between interest income on interest earning
assets and interest expense on interest bearing liabilities. Interest earning
assets consist principally of loans and investment securities, while interest
bearing liabilities consist primarily of deposits. Net income is also effected
by the provision for loan losses and the level of non interest income as well as
by non interest expenses, including salary and employee benefits, occupancy
expenses and other operating expenses.
Net Income. Net income was $9.4 million in 1997 compared to $10.2
million in 1996 and $8.3 million in 1995. Basic earnings per share was $1.09,
$1.20 and $.96 for 1997, 1996, and 1995, respectively. The decrease in net
income of $.8 million in 1997, or 8%, is primarily due to the receipt of
nonrecurring income in 1996 relating to loan recoveries which significantly
contributed to the increase in net income in 1996 from 1995.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income is affected by market and
economic conditions which influence rates on loan and deposit growth. Net
interest income was $23.3 million in 1997, compared to $23.6 million in 1996 and
$20.2 million in 1995. Yields on interest earning assets increased slightly to
10.16% from 10.06% in 1996, a difference of 10 basis points. The yield on
interest earning assets in 1996 increased 18 basis points from 9.88% for 1995
primarily due to an increase in the yield on loans in 1996. Average interest
earning assets decreased $3.8 million from $334.4 million in 1996 to $330.6
million for 1997, primarily due to decreases in investment securities of $15.6
million, partially offset by an increase in the average balance of loans of
$12.8 million. Average interest earning assets increased $27.3 million in 1996
from $307.1 million in 1995 primarily due the acquisition of Knoblauch State
Bank in July 1995. Yields on interest bearing deposits increased to 4.76% in
1997 from 4.59% in 1996 primarily due to higher costing certificates of
deposits, while in 1996 the yield on interest bearing liabilities decreased 22
basis points from 4.81% in 1995 primarily due to lower costing yield on NOW and
money market deposits in 1996. Average interest bearing liabilities decreased to
$210.9 million from $219.1 million for 1996, primarily due to a decrease in
average deposits in 1997. Average interest bearing liabilities increased $19.6
million in 1996 from $199.5 million in 1995.

</TABLE>
Although RBPA continues to originate five year fixed rate loans, a
portion of the loan portfolio continues to be comprised of variable rate loans
which helps to maintain its interest spread when rates change. RBPA's yields
tend to have less of a downward fluctuation when interest rates decline as a
portion of RBPA's loans have interest rate minimums associated with them.
While RBPA's average prime rate increased to 8.43% in 1997 from 8.29%
in 1996, the yield on loans deceased 46 basis points in 1997 from 12.52% in 1996
to 12.06% primarily due to interest recoveries in 1996 relating to a loan payoff
in 1996. Average loans increased $12.8 million to $213.4 million in 1997
primarily due to internally generated loan growth.
Yields on loans increased 67 basis points in 1996 to 12.52% from 11.85%
in 1995, partially due to an interest recovery relating to a loan payoff in
1996. Average loans increased $14.9 million, or 8% in 1996 primarily due to an
increase in loan originations. The Bank's average prime rate for 1996 was 8.29%
versus 8.80% for 1995.

</TABLE>
HTM investment securities are comprised primarily of taxable corporate
debt issues, US Treasuries and agencies and to a lesser extent, non taxable
state and municipal investment securities. The yield in HTM investment
securities increased 28 basis points to 6.73% from 6.45% in 1996. This increase
is partially attributable to an increase in yield on taxable investment
securities of 24 basis points in 1997, in addition to an increase in the average
balance of the nontaxable investment securities which have a higher effective
yield. The average balance of HTM investment securities decreased $24.2 million
in 1997 as scheduled maturities outpaced purchases.
The yield on HTM investment securities decreased 68 basis points in
1996 to 6.45% from 7.13% in 1995 primarily due to scheduled maturities of higher
yielding taxable bonds which were ultimately replaced by lower yielding taxable
bonds. The average balance of HTM investment securities increased $14.8 million,
or 15.0%. These purchases in corporate issues were "A" rated or better by Moody
or Standard & Poor, with maturities in the three to five year ranges. It is
RBPA's expressed intention to hold these securities to maturity, as has been the
established investment policy.

the purchase of capital trust securities, and an increase in the FHLB stock
position. The average balance increased $2.7 million in 1996 to $3.7 million
from $.9 million in 1995, primarily due to the purchase of preferred stock in

the average cost of funds decreased 38 basis points to 2.97% from 3.35% in 1995
as interest rates declined during 1996. The average balance of these deposits
increased to $71.6 million in 1996 from $60.3 million in 1995, primarily due to
the acquisition of KSB in July 1995.

Average cost of funds 5.89% 5.68% 5.66%
</TABLE>
The average balance of time deposits decreased $4.2 million in 1997 to
$121.9 million while the average cost of funds increased 21 basis points from
5.68% in 1996 to 5.89% in 1997. In 1996 the average balance increased $3.3
million from $122.8 million in 1995, while the average cost of funds increased 2
basis points from 5.66% in 1995.
Although rates in general started to move downward in 1995 and trend
higher in 1997, the reaction of deposits to rate changes (both increases and
decreases) is slower than the change in the prime rate because these time
deposits must mature before a rate adjustment would become effective. In 1996,
nineteen percent of time deposits are comprised of certificates of deposit
accounts with balances of $100,000 or more, which are traditionally been
considered more rate volatile than lower balance deposits; however, the penalty
for early redemption somewhat mitigates this volatility.
PROVISION FOR POSSIBLE LOAN LOSSES
The provision for loan losses is an amount charged to expense to
provide for future losses on existing loans. In order to determine the amount of
the provision for loan loss, RBPA conducts a quarterly review of the loan
portfolio to evaluate overall credit quality. This evaluation consists of an
analysis of individual loans and overall risk characteristics and size of the
loan, and takes into consideration current economic and market conditions,
changes in non-performing loans, the capability of specific borrowers to repay
loan obligations as well as current collateral values.
Due to recoveries exceeding charge offs in 1997 and 1996, a recovery
from the allowance for loan loss of $2.1 and $1.2 million (credit) was recorded
in 1997 and 1996, respectively. These recoveries in
<PAGE> 25
1997 and 1996 were primarily due to Management's assessment that the overall
level of loan loss reserves was adequate. Charge offs in 1997 were $.8 million
as compared to $1.1 million for 1996. Recoveries in 1997 were $2 million as
compared to $1.9 million in 1996.
The allowance for possible loan loss at December 31, 1997 was $8.2
million or 2.8% of net loans as compared to $9.1 million at December 31, 1996,
or 4.3% of total loans and $9.7 million at December 31, 1995, or 4.9% of total
loans. These percentage decreases in the allowance to net loans are primarily
due to an increase in the level of loans outstanding for each respective period.
NON INTEREST INCOME
Non interest income includes service charges on depositors' accounts,
safe deposit rentals and various services such as cashing checks, issuing money
orders and travelers checks, redeeming US savings bonds and similar activities.
Most components of non interest income are a modest and stable source of income,
with exceptions of one-time gains and losses from the sale of other real estate
owned, from period to period these sources of income may vary considerably.
Service charges on depositors' accounts, safe deposit rentals and other fees are
periodically reviewed by Management to remain competitive with other local
banks.
Non interest income decreased $1.6 million to $2.6 million in 1997 from
$4.2 million in 1996. This decrease is primarily due to the decrease in gains
associated with the sale of other real estate owned in 1997. In 1997, these
gains were $1.2 million as compared to $2 million in 1996. Additionally, gains
on sale of loans decreased $.4 million in 1997 primarily due to a decrease in
total dollar volume of residential mortgage loans closed and sold in 1997 versus
1996.
Non interest income increased $2.1 million in 1996 to $4.2 million as
compared to $2.1 million in 1995. This increase is primarily due to gains
experienced on the sale of other real estate owned of $1.1 million. This
activity is primarily due to the management aggressively concentrating on the
disposal of its portfolio of Other Real Estate during 1996 and 1995. Loans are
transferred into Other Real Estate when the Bank forecloses on the real estate
collateralizing a non-performing loan, or when the borrower abandons the
property and the Bank elects to assume control of the property. When this occurs
the Bank will transfer the loan to Other Real Estate at the lower of the book
value of the loan or the fair market value, less disposal costs, of the real
estate held as collateral.
NON INTEREST EXPENSE
Non interest expense includes compensation and employee benefits,
occupancy, advertising, FDIC insurance, state taxes, depreciation, and other
expenses such as auditing, automatic teller machines (ATMs), data processing,
legal, outside service charges, postage, printing, and other expenses relating
to Other Real Estate owned.
In 1997, total non interest expense decreased $.5 million to $14.6
million as compared to $15.1 million for 1996. This decrease is primarily due to
various decreases in other operating expenses of $.5 million. While salaries and
employee benefits expense of $9.5 million represents the largest component of
non interest expense, it decreased slightly from the $9.6 million recorded in
1996. These decreases were partially offset by a $.1 million increase in
occupancy expense relating to a settlement of a lease obligation assumed from
the Knoblauch State Bank acquisition in 1995, which will expire in 1998.
<PAGE> 26
Total non interest expense increased $4.8 million in 1996 to $15.1
million primarily due to an increase in salaries, wages and employee benefits of
$4.8 million, reflecting the addition of new employees relating to the KSB
acquisition in addition to an expense recorded relating to the establishment of
a liability 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. Accordingly, the Company accrued $3.8 and $2.5 million
relating to these stock appreciation rights as employee benefits expense in 1997
and 1996, respectively, toward the difference between current market values and
the values at the grant date.
Additional increases in total non interest expense in 1996 from 1995
were attributable to increases in occupancy expense, primarily the result of
operating four additional banking offices due to the acquisition of KSB in 1995.
Salary expenses increased $.6 million in 1996 primarily due to an increase in
staffing expense associated with the acquisition of KSB.
ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME TAXES
The provision for federal income taxes was $4.1 million in 1997 as
compared to $3.9 million for 1996 and $3.6 million for 1995. The increases in
the tax provision for 1997 was due to a change in the deferred tax asset in 1997
from 1996. The increase in tax provision for 1996 and 1995 are due to higher
taxable income of approximately $2.3 million and $.8 million, respectively, in
addition to lower levels of tax-exempt income for both years, as the tax free
investment securities portfolio continues to shrink due to bond calls.
ACCOUNTING FOR DEBT AND EQUITY SECURITIES
The Bank adopted SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in
Debt and Equity Securities," at January 1, 1994. This standard requires
investments in securities to be classified in one of three categories; held to
maturity, trading or available for sale. Debt securities that the Bank has the
positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held to
maturity and are reported at amortized cost. As the Bank 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 effect, are required to be recognized as a separate
component of stockholders' equity and excluded from the determination of net
income. Since the majority of the Bank's investments are classified as held to
maturity, the adoption of SFAS No. 115 did not have a significant effect on
stockholders' equity at January 1, 1994 and December 31, 1994.
ASSET LIABILITY MANAGEMENT
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. This process is overseen by the
Asset-Liability Committee ("ALCO") which monitors and controls, among other
variables, the liquidity, balance sheet structure and interest rate risk of the
consolidated company within policy parameters established and outlined in the
Funds, Cash Flow and Liquidity Policies and Procedures which are reviewed by the
Board of Directors at least annually. Additionally, the ALCO committee meets
<PAGE> 27
periodically and reports on liquidity, interest rate sensitivity and projects
financial performance in various interest rate scenarios.
Liquidity. Liquidity is the ability of the financial institution to
ensure that adequate funds will be available to meet its financial commitments
as they become due. In managing its liquidity position, the financial
institution evaluates all sources of funds, the largest of which is deposits.
Also taken into consideration is the repayment of loans. These sources provide
the financial institution with alternatives to meet its short term liquidity
needs. Longer term liquidity needs may be met by issuing longer term deposits
and by raising additional capital.
RBPA generally maintains a liquidity ratio equal to or greater than 25%
of total deposits and short term liabilities. Liquidity is specifically defined
as the ratio of net cash, short term and marketable assets to net deposits and
short term liabilities. The liquidity ratio for the years ended December 31,
1997, 1996 and 1995 was 39%, 49%, 54%, respectively. Management believes that
RBPA's liquidity position continues to be adequate, continues to be in excess of
its peer group level and meets or exceeds the liquidity target set forth in the
Funds, Cash Flow and Liquidity Policies and Procedures. Management believes that
due to its financial position, it will be able to raise deposits as needed to
meet liquidity demands. However, any financial institution could have unmet
liquidity demands at any time.
Interest Rate Sensitivity. Interest rate sensitivity is a function of
the repricing characteristics of the financial institution's assets and
liabilities. These include the volume of assets and liabilities repricing, the
timing of repricing, and the relative levels of repricing. Attempting to
minimize the interest rate sensitivity gaps is a continual challenge in a
changing rate environment. The interest sensitivity report examines the
positioning of the interest rate risk exposure in a changing interest rate
environment. Ideally the rate sensitive assets and liabilities will be
maintained in a matched position to minimize interest rate risk.
The interest rate sensitivity analysis is an important management tool,
however, it does have some inherent shortcomings. It is a "static" analysis.
Although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or
repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest
rates. Additionally, repricing characteristics of certain assets and liabilities
may vary substantially within a given period.
<PAGE> 28
The following table summarizes repricing intervals for interest earning
assets and interest bearing liabilities as of December 31, 1997, and the
difference or "gap" between them on an actual and cumulative basis for the
periods indicated. A gap is considered positive when the amount of interest rate
sensitive assets exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities.
During a period of falling interest rates, a positive gap would tend to
adversely affect net interest income, while a negative gap would tend to result
in an increase in net interest income. During a period of rising interest rates,
a positive gap would tend to result in an increase in net interest income while
a negative gap would tend to affect net interest income adversely. At December
31, 1997, RBPA is in a slightly liability sensitive position which indicates
liabilities will reprice somewhat more than assets.

<PAGE> 29
The method to analyze interest rate sensitivity in the table above has
a number of limitations. Certain assets and liabilities may react differently to
changes in interest rates even though they reprice or mature in the same time
periods. The interest rates on certain assets and liabilities may change at
different times than changes in market interest rates, with some changing in
advance of changes in market rates and some lagging behind changes in market
rates. Also, certain assets have provisions which limit changes in interest
rates each time the interest rate changes and for the entire term of the loan.
Additionally, prepayments and withdrawals experienced in the event of a change
in interest rates may deviate significantly from those assumed in the interest
rate sensitivity table. Additionally, the ability of some borrowers to service
their debt may decrease in the event of an interest rate increase.
CAPITAL ADEQUACY
The table shown below sets forth RBPA's consolidated capital level and
performance ratios.

</TABLE>
RBPA's sources of capital have been derived from the issuance of stock
as well as retained earnings. While RBPA has not had a stock offering since
1986, total stockholder's equity has increased primarily due to steady increases
in retained earnings. At December 31, 1997, RBPA had an average capital to
average asset ratio of 25.3 %. RBPA has no current plans to raise capital
through new stock offerings and indeed, seeks ways to leverage its existing
capital which is considered excessive by industry standards.
In early 1989, each of the federal bank regulatory agencies issued
risk-based capital standards which were phased in December 31, 1992. The new
standards place assets in various categories of risk with varying weights
assigned, and consider certain off-balance sheet activities, such as letters of
credit and loan commitments in the base for purposes of determining capital
adequacy. The principal objective of establishing the risk-based capital
framework is to achieve greater convergence in the measurement and assessment of
capital adequacy due to the divergence of asset mixes maintained from one
depository institution to the next. At December 31, 1997, RBPA's ratio using
these standards was 26.4%.
YEAR 2000
Management has initiated a company wide program to prepare RBPA's
computer systems and applications for the year 2000. The year 2000 problem is
pervasive and complex as virtually every computer system will be affected in
some way by the rollover of the two digit year value to 00. Through a special
committee and outside consultants, RBPA is conducting a comprehensive review of
its computer systems and third party vendors providing hardware and software
services to identify systems and vendors that could be affected by the year 2000
issue. As much of RBPA's data processing is outsourced to third
<PAGE> 30
party vendors, RBPA does not expect the costs associated with year 2000
compliance over the next three years to have a material effect on its financial
position or results of operations. The amount expensed in 1997 was immaterial.
MANAGEMENT OPTIONS TO PURCHASE SECURITIES
On June 27, 1990, the directors of the Bank approved the Royal Bank of
Pennsylvania Non-qualified Stock Option and Appreciation Right Plan (the Plan).
The Plan was reapproved by the shareholders in connection with the formation of
the holding company. The Plan is an incentive program under which Bank officers
and other key employees may be awarded additional compensation in the form of
options to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of the Registrant's Class A common
stock (but not in excess of 15% of outstanding shares). The option price is
equal to the fair market value at the date of the grant. At December 31, 1997,
519,277 options have been granted (the fair market per share at the time of the
grant was $13.75 in 1997 and $10.00 in 1996) which are exercisable at 20% per
year. At December 31, 1997, options covering 325,036 shares were exercisable.
In 1990, the directors of the Bank approved a non-qualified Outside
Directors Stock Option Plan. The Plan was reapproved by the shareholders in
connection with the formation of the holding company. Under the terms of the
plan, 150,000 shares of Class A stock are authorized for grants. Each director
is entitled to 1,500 shares of stock annually which is exercisable after one
year of service. The options were granted at the fair market value ($13.75 per
share in 1997 and $10.00 in 1996) at the date of the grant. Currently, the
strike price on the options ranges from $2.695 to $13.225 per share. During
1997, 7,284 options were exercised at strike prices ranging from $2.709 to
$9.615 per share. At December 31, 1997, 51,175 options were outstanding and
options covering 37,135 shares were exercisable.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
A simulation model is used to estimate the impact of various changes,
both upward and downward, in market interest rates and volumes of assets and
liabilities on net income. This model produces an interest rate exposure report
that forecasts changes in the market value of portfolio equity under alternative
interest rate environments. The market value of portfolio is defined as the
present value of existing assets and liabilities. The calculated estimates of
changes in the market value of portfolio value are as follows:
At December 31, 1997 (Dollars in Thousands)

</TABLE>
<PAGE> 31
The assumptions used in evaluating the vulnerability of earnings and
capital to changes in interest rates are based on management's considerations of
past experience, current position and anticipated future economic conditions.
The interest rate sensitivity of assets and liabilities as well as the estimated
effect of changes in interest rates on the market value of portfolio equity
could vary substantially if different assumptions are used or actual experience
differs from the calculations were based.

Royal Bancshares of Pennsylvania, Inc. and Subsidiaries
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 1997 and 1996
NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Royal Bancshares of Pennsylvania, Inc. (the Company) and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries: Royal Investments of Delaware, Inc. and Royal Bank of
Pennsylvania (the Bank), including the Bank's wholly-owned subsidiary, Royal
Real Estate, Inc. On June 29, 1995, the Company was formed and acquired all
of the outstanding common stock of the Bank in a business combination
accounted for in a manner similar to a pooling of interests. In the
transaction, the Bank's shareholders exchanged common stock of the Bank for
common stock of the Company on a share-for-share basis. These financial
statements reflect the historical information of the Company. All
significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
1. Business
The Company, through its subsidiary bank, offers a full range of banking
services to individual and corporate customers located in eastern
Pennsylvania. The Bank competes with other banking and financial
institutions in certain markets, including financial institutions with
resources substantially greater than its own. Commercial banks, savings
banks, savings and loan associations, credit unions and money market funds
actively compete for savings and time deposits and for various types of
loans. Such institutions, as well as consumer finance and insurance
companies, may be considered competitors of the Bank with respect to one or
more of the services it renders.
In addition to being subject to competition from other financial
institutions, the Company is subject to regulations of certain federal
agencies and, accordingly, it is periodically examined by those regulatory
authorities.
2. Use of Estimates
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and revenues and
expenditures for the period. Therefore, actual results could differ
significantly from those estimates.
The principal estimate that is particularly susceptible to significant
change in the near term relates to the allowance for loan losses. In
connection with this estimate, when circumstances warrant, management
obtains independent appraisals for significant properties. However, future
changes in real estate market conditions and the economy could affect the
Company's allowance for loan losses.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 1997 and 1996
NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued
3. Investment Securities
The Company accounts for investment securities in accordance with Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115, "Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." This standard requires
investments in securities to be classified in one of three categories: held
to maturity, trading or 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 effect, are required to be
recognized as a separate component of stockholders' equity and excluded from
the determination of net income.
4. Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level believed adequate by
management to absorb potential losses in the loan portfolio. Management's
determination of the adequacy of the allowance is based on an evaluation of
the portfolio, past loan loss experience, current economic conditions,
volume, growth, and composition of the loan portfolio, and other relevant
factors. The allowance is increased by provisions for loan losses charged
against income. Decreases in the allowance result from management's
determination that the allowance for loan losses exceeds their estimates of
potential loan loss.
The Company adopted SFAS No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of
a Loan," as amended by SFAS No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment
of a Loan - Income Recognition and Disclosures," on October 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. The adoption of SFAS No. 114, as amended by SFAS No. 118, had
no material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position or
results of operations.
5. Loan Fees and Related Costs
Interest on loans is accrued and credited to operations based upon the
principal amount outstanding. Accretion of unearned discounts on loans has
been added to the related interest income. Accrual of interest is
discontinued on a loan when management believes that the borrower's
financial condition is such that collection of interest is doubtful and
generally when a loan becomes 90 days past due as to principal or interest.
When interest accruals are discontinued, interest credited to income in the
current year is reversed and interest accrued in the prior year is charged
to the allowance for loan losses. Management may elect to continue the
accrual of interest when the estimated net realizable value of collateral is
sufficient to cover the principal balance and accrued interest.

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued
6. Other Real Estate
Other real estate is recorded at the lower of the customer's loan balance or
the adjusted fair market value of the real estate securing the loan. The
adjusted fair market value is determined by reducing the fair market value
by estimated costs for the disposition of the property. Costs relating to
holding the property are expensed when incurred.
7. Premises and Equipment
Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation,
which is computed principally on the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized on the
straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the
improvements or the terms of the related leases. The estimated useful lives
for buildings and leasehold improvements range from 15 to 31-1/2 years, and
for furniture and fixtures are 5 to 7 years.
8. Income Taxes
The Company follows the provisions of SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes." Under the liability method specified by SFAS No. 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 principal types of differences between assets
and liabilities for financial statement and tax return purposes are the
allowance for loan losses, deferred loan fees and accumulated depreciation.
9. Profit-Sharing Plan
The Company has a contributory 401(k) plan covering substantially all
employees. The Company contributed $135,650, $125,964 and $95,604 for 1997,
1996 and 1995, respectively.
10. Stock Option Plans
Under two stock option plans, the Company grants stock options to employees,
officers and directors. On January 1, 1996, the Company adopted SFAS No.
123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," which allows an entity to
use a fair value-based method for valuing stock-based compensation 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 instruments under
Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees," and its related Interpretations. Entities that
continue to account for stock options using APB Opinion No. 25 are required
to make pro forma disclosures of net income and earnings per share (EPS), as
if the fair value-based method of accounting defined in SFAS No. 123 had
been applied.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED
December 31, 1997 and 1996
NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued
The Company's stock option plans are accounted for under APB Opinion No. 25.
The adoption of SFAS No. 123 had no material effect on the Company's
consolidated financial position or results of operations.
11. Per Share Information
During 1997, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 128, "Earnings
Per Share," which eliminates primary and fully diluted EPS and requires
presentation of basic and diluted EPS in conjunction with the disclosure of
the methodology used in computing such EPS. Basic EPS excludes dilution and
is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the
weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS
takes into account the potential dilution that could occur if securities or
other contracts to issue common stock were exercised and converted into
common stock. Prior period EPS calculations have been restated to reflect
the adoption of SFAS No. 128. Basic and diluted EPS are calculated as
follows:

weighted average shares outstanding have been restated to reflect the 4%
stock dividend of May 1997 and 6% stock dividend of May 1996 and 1995.
12. Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash
on hand, amounts due from banks, short-term investments and federal funds
sold. Generally, federal funds are purchased and sold for one-day periods.
13. Financial Instruments
The Company follows the provisions of SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair
Value of Financial Instruments," which requires all entities to disclose the
estimated fair value of their assets and liabilities considered to be
financial instruments. Financial instruments consist primarily of
securities, loans and deposits. The Company has provided these disclosures
in note R.
14. Long-Lived Assets
On January 1, 1996, the Company adopted SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for 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 SFAS
No. 121 had no material impact on the Company's consolidated financial
position or results of operations.

15. Goodwill
Goodwill, which represents the excess of the cost of acquired companies
over the fair value of the companies' net assets at the date of acquisition,
is being amortized on the straight-line method over a period of 15 years.
16. Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and
Extinguishments of Liabilities
The Company adopted SFAS No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities," as
amended by SFAS No. 127, "Deferral of the Effective Date of Certain
Provisions of SFAS No. 125," in 1997. SFAS No. 125 applies a
control-oriented, financial components approach to financial asset transfer
transactions whereby the Company: (1) recognizes the financial and servicing
assets it controls and the liabilities it has incurred; (2) derecognizes
financial assets when control has been surrendered; and (3) derecognizes
liabilities once they are extinguished. Under SFAS No. 125, control is
considered to have been surrendered only if: (i) the transferred assets have
been isolated from the transferor and its creditors, even in bankruptcy or
other receivership; (ii) the transferee has the right to pledge or exchange
the transferred assets or is a qualifying special-purpose entity (as
defined) and the holders of beneficial interests in that entity have the
right to pledge or exchange those interests; and (iii) the transferor does
not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an
agreement which both entitles and obligates it to repurchase or redeem those
assets prior to maturity, or through an agreement which both entitles it to
repurchase or redeem those assets if they were not readily obtainable
elsewhere. If any of these conditions are not met, the Company accounts for
the transfer as a secured borrowing.
SFAS No. 125 also requires that the Company derecognize a liability if
and when it is extinguished. A liability is considered extinguished under
SFAS No. 125 if: (1) the Company pays the creditor and, thus, is relieved of
its obligation for the liability; or (2) is legally released from being the
primary obligor under the liability, either judicially or by the creditor.
The adoption of SFAS No. 125 had no material impact on the Company's
consolidated financial position or results of operations.
17. Advertising Costs
The Company and the Bank expense advertising costs as incurred.

18. New Accounting Standards
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS
No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," which is effective for years
beginning after December 15, 1997. SFAS No. 130 requires entities presenting
a complete set of financial statements to include details of comprehensive
income. Comprehensive income consists of net income or loss for the current
period, and income, expenses, gains, and losses that bypass the income
statement and are reported directly in a separate component of equity. The
effect of adopting SFAS No. 130 is not expected to be material.
In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of
an Enterprise and Related Information," which is effective for all periods
beginning after December 15, 1997. SFAS No. 131 requires that public
business enterprises report certain information about operating segments in
complete sets of financial statements of the enterprise and in condensed
financial statements of interim periods issued to shareholders. It also
requires that public business enterprises report certain information about
their products and services, the geographic areas in which they operate, and
their major customers. Management is currently evaluating the disclosure
impact of SFAS No. 131 on its financial statements.
19. Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications of prior year amounts have been made to conform to
the 1997 presentation.
NOTE B - INVESTMENT SECURITIES

</TABLE>
Loans on which the accrual of interest has been discontinued or reduced
amounted to $4,316,852 and $4,652,669 at December 31, 1997 and 1996,
respectively. If interest had been accrued, such income would have been
$388,517 and $418,740 for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996,
respectively. Although the Company has non-performing loans of $4,316,852 at
December 31, 1997, management believes it has adequate collateral to limit
its credit risk.
The Company granted loans to the officers and directors of the Company and
to their associates. Related party loans are made on substantially the same
terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the
time for comparable transactions with unrelated persons and do not involve
more than normal risk of collectibility. The aggregate dollar amount of
these loans was $14,651,598 and $12,165,936 at December 31, 1997 and 1996,
respectively. During 1997, $3,176,494 of new loans were made and repayments
totaled $690,832.
The balance of impaired loans was $1,418,348 at December 31, 1997. The
Company has identified a loan as impaired when it is probable that interest
and principal will not be collected according to the contractual terms of
the loan agreements. The income recognized on impaired loans during 1997 was
$1,401. Total cash collected on impaired loans during 1997 was $30,299, of
which $28,899 was credited to the principal balance outstanding on such
loans. Interest that would have been accrued on impaired loans during 1997
was $34,615. 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.

NOTE M - INCOME TAXES - Continued
The Company has approximately $21,000,000 of net operating loss carryovers
from the acquisition of Knoblauch State Bank (KSB). These losses will fully
expire in 2009. The utilization of these losses is subject to limitation
under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, a valuation
allowance has been established to eliminate the deferred tax asset
attributable to these net operating losses.
During 1997, the Company realized a tax benefit related to the net operating
loss carryovers from the acquisition of KSB. The deferred tax asset
associated with those loss carryovers is fully offset by a valuation
allowance. Accordingly, the realized tax benefit is reflected as a reduction
of the goodwill associated with the acquisition and a corresponding
reduction of deferred income tax benefit for the year.
NOTE N - STOCK OPTION PLANS
At December 31, 1997, the Company had two stock-based compensation plans
which are described below. The Company accounts for these plans under APB
Opinion No. 25.
1. Outside Directors' Stock Option Plan
The Company adopted a non-qualified outside Directors' Stock Option Plan in
1990 (the Director's Plan). Under the terms of the Director's Plan, 150,000
shares of Class A stock are authorized for grants. Each director is entitled
to 1,500 shares of stock annually which are exercisable after one year of
service. The options were granted at the fair market value ($13.75 in 1997,
$10.00 in 1996, and $8.25 in 1995) at the date of the grant. Currently, the
strike price on the options ranges from $2.695 to $13.225 per share. During
1997, 7,284 options were exercised at strike prices ranging from $2.709 to
$9.615 per share. At December 31, 1997, 51,175 options are outstanding, and
options covering 37,135 shares were exercisable.

2. Stock Option and Appreciation Right Plan
The Company adopted a Stock Option and Appreciation Right Plan (the Plan) on
June 27, 1990. The Plan is an incentive program under which Company officers
and other key employees may be awarded additional compensation in the form
of options to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of the Company's Class A
common stock (but not in excess of 15% of outstanding shares). At the time a
stock option is issued, a stock appreciation right for an identical number
of shares may also be granted. The option price is equal to the fair market
value at the date of the grant. The options are exercisable at 20% per year
beginning one year after the date of grant and must be exercised within ten
years of the grant. As of December 31, 1997, options covering 325,036 shares
were exercisable by 22 employees. Stock option transactions consist of the

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of the grant
using the Black-Scholes options-pricing model with the following weighted
average assumptions used for grants in 1997, 1996 and 1995: dividend yield
of 3.40%, 4.17% and 2.46% for 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively; expected
volatility of 30.6%; and risk-free interest rate of 5.71% in 1997 and 1996,
and 6.58% in 1995. Expected lives are 10 years for 1997, 1996 and 1995.
NOTE O - CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK
The Company primarily grants commercial and real estate loans in the greater
Philadelphia metropolitan area. Approximately 21% of loans are outside the
normal lending area. The Company has concentrations of credit risk in real
estate development loans (10%) at December 31, 1997. A substantial portion
of its debtors' ability to honor these contracts is dependent upon the
economic sector.
Approximately 77% of the Company's investment portfolio consists of
corporate securities.
NOTE P - 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 and standby
letters of credit. Such financial instruments are recorded in the financial
statements when they become payable. 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 amounts of those
instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in particular
classes of financial instruments.

December 31, 1997 and 1996
NOTE P - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK - Continued
The Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the
other party to commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is
represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses
the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations
as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.
Unless noted otherwise, the Company does not require collateral or other
security to support financial instruments with credit risk. The contract
amounts as of December 31, 1997 are as follows:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
Financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk
Commitments to extend credit $27,108,550
Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees written 4,543,974
</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. Most guarantees extend for one year and expire in decreasing
amounts through 1998. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit
is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to
customers. The Company holds personal or commercial real estate, accounts
receivable, inventory and equipment as collateral supporting those
commitments for which collateral is deemed necessary. The extent of
collateral held for those commitments is 80%.

NOTE Q - REGULATORY MATTERS
1. Payment of Dividends
Under the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law, the Company may pay
dividends only if it is solvent and would not be rendered insolvent by the
dividend payment. There are also restrictions set forth in the Pennsylvania
Banking Code of 1965 (the Banking Code) and in the Federal Deposit Insurance
Act (FDIA) concerning the payment of dividends by the Company. Under the
Banking Code, no dividends may be paid except from "accumulated net
earnings" (generally undivided profits). Under the FDIA, no dividend may be
paid if a bank is in arrears in the payment of any insurance assessment due
to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).
2. Capital Ratios
The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered
by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital
requirements can initiate certain mandatory--and possible additional
discretionary--actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a
direct material effect on the Bank's financial statements. Under capital
adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective
action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve
quantitative measures of the Bank's assets, liabilities and certain
off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices.
The Bank's capital amounts and classification are also subject to
qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings
and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by regulations to ensure capital adequacy
require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set
forth in the table below) of total and Tier I capital (as defined in the
regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier I capital (as
defined) to average assets (as defined). As of December 31, 1997, management
believes that the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it
is subject.
As of December 31, 1997, the most recent notification from the FDIC
categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for
prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank
must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based and Tier I
leverage ratios as set forth in the table. There are no conditions or events
since that notification that management believes have changed the
institution's category.

NOTE R - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
SFAS No. 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 financial instruments as defined in SFAS No. 107.
However, many of such instruments lack an available trading market, as
characterized by a willing buyer and seller engaging in an exchange
transaction. Also, it is the Company's general practice and intent to hold
its financial instruments to maturity and not to engage in trading or sales
activities. Therefore, the Company had to use significant estimations and
present value calculations to prepare this disclosure.
Changes in the assumptions or methodologies used to estimate fair value 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 value.
Fair values have been estimated using data which management considered the
best available and estimation methodologies deemed suitable for the
pertinent category of financial instrument. The estimation methodologies,
resulting fair values and recorded carrying amounts at December 31, 1997
were as follows:
Fair values of loans and deposits with floating interest rates are generally
presumed to approximate the recorded carrying amounts.
Fair value of financial instruments actively traded in a secondary market
has been estimated using quoted market prices as follows:

Fair value of financial instrument liabilities with no stated maturities has
been estimated to equal the carrying amount (the amount payable on demand),
totaling $125,185,737 and $131,320,850 at December 31, 1997 and 1996,
respectively.
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, as follows:

fair value of off-balance-sheet items totaling $31,652,524 and $13,023,225
at December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, which are primarily comprised
of 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 No. 107.

file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and
Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Officers, directors and greater than 10 percent
shareholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish the Corporation copies of
all Section 16(a) forms they file.
Based solely on its review of forms that were received from certain
reporting persons, the Corporation believes that during the period January 1,
1997 through December 31, 1997, its officers and directors were in compliance
with all filing requirements applicable to them.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
In the ordinary course of business, RBPA has had, and expects to have

shareholders and their associates which involve substantially the same terms,
including interest rates, collateral and repayment terms as those prevailing at
the time for comparable transactions with others and no more than the normal
risk of collectability or other unfavorable features. No transaction during the
three years ended December 31, 1997 of the above nature exceeded $8,000,000 or
10% of the equity capital accounts to the Registrant.
The largest aggregate amount of indebtedness during the year l997 of
all Directors and Officers to the Bank as a group, and to their associates was
$14,651,598. The total of such outstanding loans at December 3l, 1997 was
$14,651,598. Interest rates ranged for fixed rates from 7.5% to 10.5%. Floating
rates ranged from prime to prime plus 2.5 points.
The Registrant has had and intends to have business transactions in the
ordinary course of business with Directors and associates on comparable terms as
those prevailing from time to time for other nonaffiliated vendors of the
Registrant. In particular, the Registrant has used hospitality services of
director's, Howard Wurzak, and Daniel Tabas. Director Albert Ominsky's firm has
