This year represents National Penn’s 30th consecutive year of increased earnings per share and 30th consecutive year of increased cash dividends.  It also marked the 30th consecutive year of stock dividends or splits on National Penn stock.  All per share information has been restated to reflect the 3% stock dividend paid on September 28, 2007.

The company had total assets at December 31, 2007 of $5.82 billion and total deposits of $3.95 billion.  The allowance for loan and lease losses as of December 31, 2007 was $54.90 million, which represented 1.42% of total loans and leases outstanding of $3.88 billion.  At December 31, 2007, National Penn was in compliance with all applicable regulatory capital requirements.  At year end as well, National Penn and National Penn Bank each are considered “well capitalized” as defined by banking regulators.

On November 17, 2007, National Penn paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.17 per share to shareholders of record as of November 3, 2007.  National Penn has paid cash dividends without interruption for over 130 years.

On January 4, 2008, Christiana Bank and Trust joined the National Penn family and provides exciting opportunities for expansion in the growing Delaware market area.  The previously announced merger with KNBT Bancorp, Inc. is expected to close in early February 2008, at which time total assets will have grown to nearly $9 billion, making National Penn the fifth largest commercial bank holding company headquartered in Pennsylvania (based on current total asset value).

Commenting on 2007, Glenn E. Moyer, National Penn's President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “We’re very gratified that we have again been able to report increased earnings at a time when many financial institutions are reporting major earnings declines.  Persistent, uncertain market conditions continue to weigh heavily on industry credit quality performance. Despite these conditions, the quality of our loan portfolio remains satisfactory on a relative and historical basis and we remain proactive in addressing any deterioration in our overall credit quality. But with that said, we’re also very focused on National Penn’s enhanced opportunities to profitably serve our expanding client base.”
