EXPLANATORY NOTE

As previously disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on December 22, 2006, Royal Bancshares of Pennsylvania, Inc. (“the Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 2 to its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 (the “Form 10-K”) to restate its consolidated statement of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2005 included in the Form 10-K. As further described in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on December 22, 2006, the restatement of the Company’s consolidated statement of cash flows for year ended December 31, 2005 results principally from a misclassification of certain cash flows relating to cash derived from equity real estate investments received during the period.

The Form 10-K as amended hereby continues to speak as of the date of the Form 10-K and the disclosures have not been updated to speak as of any later date. Any items in this Form 10-K/A that are not expressly changed hereby shall be as set forth in the Form 10-K, as previously amended. All information contained in this Amendment No. 2 and the Form 10-K is subject to updating and supplementing as provided in the Company’s periodic reports filed with the Security and Exchange Commission subsequent to the filing of the Form 10-K.

Pursuant to SEC Rule 12-b-15, in connection with this Amendment No. 2 on Form 10-K/A, the Company is filing updated Exhibits 31(v), 31(vi), 32(iii) and 32(iv).

December 31, 2005 and 2004

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Board of Directors and Stockholders
Royal Bancshares of Pennsylvania, Inc.
Narberth, Pennsylvania

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Royal Bancshares of Pennsylvania, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2005. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. The consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows of Royal Bancshares of Pennsylvania, Inc. for the year ended December 31, 2003 were audited by other auditors, whose report dated January 22, 2004, expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.

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

As discussed on Note A to the consolidated financial statements, Royal Bancshares of Pennsylvania, Inc. adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,” on March 31, 2004.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Royal Bancshares of Pennsylvania, Inc. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the consolidated results of their operations and their consolidated cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2005 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of Royal Bancshares of Pennsylvania, Inc. internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, based on the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated March 14, 2006 expressed an unqualified opinion on management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting and an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting.

As discussed in Note A to the consolidated financial statements, the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2005 has been restated.

ROYAL BANCSHARES OF PENNSYLVANIA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE A — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Royal Bancshares of Pennsylvania, Inc. (Royal Bancshares), through its subsidiary Royal Bank America (Royal Bank), offers a full range of banking services to individual and corporate customers located in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware. Royal 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 Royal Bank with respect to one or more of the services it renders.

1.Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Royal Bancshares and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Royal Investments of Delaware, Inc. and Royal Bank, including Royal Bank’s subsidiaries, Royal Real Estate of Pennsylvania, Inc., Royal Investment America, LLC, and Royal Bank America Leasing, LP, and Crusader Servicing Corporation which both are 60% owned by Royal Bank America. Both Royal Bancshares’ Trusts’ are not consolidated as further discussed in Note A-17. During 2004, Royal Bancshares through Royal Bank started a banking division called Royal Asian Bank which operates three branches in Pennsylvania and one branch in Northern New Jersey. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated.

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 estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the allowance for loan losses and the valuation of deferred tax assets. In connection with the allowance for loan losses estimate, when circumstances warrant, management obtains independent appraisals for significant properties. However, future changes in real estate market conditions and the economy could affect Royal Bancshares’ allowance for loan losses.

In addition to being subject to competition from other financial institutions, Royal Bancshares is subject to regulations of certain federal agencies and, accordingly, it is periodically examined by those regulatory authorities.

Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements — Continued

NOTE A — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES — Continued

In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (FIN 46). In general, a variable interest entity is a corporation, partnership, trust or any other legal structures used for business purposes that either (a) does not have equity investors with voting rights or (b) has equity investors that do not provide sufficient financial resources for the entity to support its activities. FIN 46 requires certain variable interest entities to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary if the investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. The consolidation requirements of FIN 46 applied immediately to interest entities created after January 31, 2003. In December 2003, the FASB issued FIN 46(R) with respect to variable interest entities created before January 31, 2003, which among other things revised the implementation date to the first fiscal year or interim period ended after March 15, 2004, with the exception of Special Purpose Entities (SPE). Royal Bancshares currently has no SPEs. Royal Bancshares adopted the provisions of FIN 46 effective for the period ended March 31, 2004, which required Royal Bancshares to consolidate its investments in real estate partnerships and deconsolidate its investment un two trusts. Prior to FIN 46 and 46(R), Royal Bancshares accounted for its investments in the real estate partnerships under the equity method of accounting.

Royal Bancshares’ investments in real estate partnerships and trusts are further discussed in Note A -17.

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement 123(R), “Share-Based Payment,” an Amendment of SFAS No. 123 and APB No. 95. The Statement addresses the accounting for share-based payment transactions in which an enterprise receives employee services in exchange for (a) equity instruments of the enterprise or (b) liabilities that are based on the fair value of the enterprise’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. Statement 123(R) requires that all forms of share-based payments to employees, including employee stock options, would be treated the same as other forms of compensation by recognizing the related cost in the income statement. The expense of the award would generally be measured at fair value at the grant date. Current accounting guidance requires that the expense relating to fixed plan employee stock options only be disclosed in the footnotes to the financial statements. The Statement eliminates the ability to account for share-based compensation transactions using APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” This statement is effective for all share-based payment transactions entered into for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005 and to any awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled after that date. Royal Bancshares estimates its compensation expense relating to stock options will be $762,000 during 2006.

2.Investment Securities

Investment securities are classified in one of three categories: held to maturity, available for sale or trading. Debt securities that Royal Bancshares has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held to maturity and are reported at amortized cost. As Royal Bancshares 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 investment securities available for sale, net of tax effect, are required to be recognized as a separate component of stockholders’ equity and excluded from the determination of net income. Gains or losses on disposition are computed by the specific identification method.

Purchase premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the terms of the securities. Declines in the fair value of held to maturity and available for sale securities below their cost that are deemed to be other than temporary are reflected in earnings as realized losses. In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses, management considers (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near- term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of Royal Bancshares to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

3.Loans held for sale

Residential mortgage loans are only originated for sale to the secondary mortgage loans market. These loans have a prior sales commitment on a best efforts basis in place prior to the loan closing. These loans are classified as loans held for sale and are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value. Fair value is determined by the purchase price quoted in the sales agreement.

Royal Bancshares accounts for the transfer of financial assets in accordance with SFAS No. 140 “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities.” The standard is based on consistent application of a financial-components approach that recognizes the financial and servicing assets it controls and the liabilities it has incurred, derecognizes financial assets when control has been surrendered and derecognizes liabilities when extinguished. The standard provides consistent guidelines for distinguishing transfers of financial assets from transfers that are secured borrowings.

4.Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses

Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are stated at the amount of unpaid principal, reduced by unearned income and an allowance for loan and lease 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

(Continued)

NOTE A — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES — Continued

allowance for loan losses exceeds their estimates of potential loan loss. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

Royal Bancshares accounts for its impaired loans in accordance with 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 Disclosure,” which 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.

Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, Royal Bancshares does not separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for impairment disclosures, unless such loans are the subject of a restructuring agreement.

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.

Royal Bancshares accounts for guarantees in accordance with FIN 45 “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others”. FIN 45 requires a guarantor entity, at the inception of a guarantee covered by the measurement provisions of the interpretation, to record a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. Royal Bancshares has financial and performance letters of credit. Financial letters of credit require a company to make a payment if the customer’s condition deteriorates, as defined in agreements. Performance letters of credits require Royal Bancshares to make payments if the customer fails to perform certain non-financial contractual obligations.

5.Other Real Estate

Royal Bancshares carries other real estate at the fair market value less estimated costs for the disposition of the property. Management will monitor cases in which the property value exceeds the book value. Costs relating to holding the property are expensed when incurred. Other real estate owned of approximately $3,834,000 and $5,424,000 at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, is included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Real estate acquired in settlement of loans during 2005, 2004 and 2003 was approximately $5,053,000, $5,535,000 and $4,575,000, respectively.

6.Premises and Equipment

Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation, which is computed principally on accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized on the accelerated methods over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the improvements or the terms of the related leases.

7.Bank-Owned Life Insurance

Royal Bank has purchased life insurance policies on certain executives. These policies are recorded in other assets at their cash surrender value, or the amount that can be realized. Income from these policies and changes in the cash surrender value are recorded in other income.

8.Income Taxes

Under the liability method, 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 compensation plans, asset valuation reserves and net operating loss carryovers.

9.Per Share Information

Basic per share data excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted per share data 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, using the treasury stock method.

The Class B shares of Royal Bancshares may be converted to Class A shares at the rate of 1.15 to 1.

10.Stock Option Plans

SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” as Amended by SFAS No.148, contains a fair value-based method for valuing stock-based compensation that entities may use to measure compensation cost at the grant date based on the fair value of the award. Compensation is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. Alternatively, SFAS No. 123 permits entities to continue accounting for employee stock options and similar equity instruments under Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” Entities that continue to account for stock options using APB Opinion 25 are required to make a pro forma disclosure of net income and earnings per share, as if the fair value-based method of accounting defined in SFAS No. 123 had been applied. Effective January 1, 2006, Royal Bancshares will apply SFAS No. 123(R).

At December 31, 2005, Royal Bancshares had both a director and employee stock-based compensation plan, which are more fully described in Note L. Royal Bancshares accounts for these plans under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations. Stock-based employee compensation costs are not reflected in net income, as all options granted under the plan had an exercise price equal to the market value under the underlying common stock of the date of the grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if Royal Bancshares had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” to stock-based employee compensation.

11.Benefit Plans

Royal Bancshares has a noncontributory nonqualified, defined benefit pension plan covering certain eligible employees. Net pension expense consists of service costs, interest costs, return on pension assets and amortization of unrecognized initial net assets. Royal Bancshares accrues pension costs as incurred.

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

SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” requires all entities to disclose the estimated fair value of their assets and liabilities considered to be financial instruments. Financial instruments consist primarily of investment securities, loans, deposits and borrowings.

14.Advertising Costs

Royal Bancshares’ expensed advertising costs of $360,000, $289,000 and $314,000 for 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

15.Comprehensive Income

Real estate owned via equity investments

Royal Bancshares, together with a real estate development company, formed Brook View Investors, L.L.C. (“Brook View”) in May 2001. Brook View was formed to construct 13 apartment buildings with a total of 116 units in a gated apartment community. The development company is the general partner of the project. Royal Bancshares invested 60% of initial capital contributions with the development company holding the remaining equity interest.

Royal Bancshares, together with a real estate development company, formed Main Street West Associates, L.P. (“Main Street”) in February 2002. Main Street was formed to acquire, maintain, improve, and operate office space located in Norristown, Pennsylvania. The development company is the general partner of the project. Royal Bancshares invested 93% of initial capital contributions with the development company holding the remaining equity interest. Upon the repayment of the initial capital contributions and a preferred return, distributions will convert to 50% for Royal Bancshares and 50% for the development company. On June 30, 2005, Main Street sold the property for approximately $5.3 million and paid back the Company’s original investment plus the accrued preferred return in full. As a result of the return of capital the Company discontinued consolidating the financial statements of Main Street during the second quarter 2005.

Royal Bancshares, together with a real estate investment company, formed 212 C Associates, L.P. (“212 C”) in May 2002. 212 C was formed to acquire, hold, improve, and operate office space located in Lansdale, Pennsylvania. The investment company is the general partner of the project.

On June 7, 2005, 212 C refinanced the debt for approximately $19.1 million which resulted a distribution to the Company of approximately $4.0 million which paid back the Company’s original investment and accrued preferred return. In addition, the Company received a profit of $1.8 million as result of this distribution. As a result of the transaction, the Company no longer qualifies as the primary beneficiary and discontinued consolidating this VIE during the second quarter 2005.

Trust Preferred Securities

Management has determined that Royal Capital Trust I/II (the Trusts) qualify as VIE’s under FASB Interpretation 46 (FIN 46), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,” as revised. The Trusts issued mandatory redeemable preferred stock to investors and loaned the proceeds to Royal Bancshares.

Royal Bancshares adopted the provisions under the revised interpretation, FIN 46(R), in the first quarter of 2004. Accordingly, Royal Bancshares does not consolidate the Trusts. FIN 46(R) precludes consideration of the call option embedded in the preferred stock when determining if Royal Bancshares has the right to a majority of the Trusts’ expected residual returns. The deconsolidation resulted in the investment in the common stock of the Trusts to be included in other assets as of December 31, 2005 and the corresponding increase in outstanding debt of $774,000. In addition, the income received on Royal Bancshares’ common stock investment is included in other income.

18.Interest Rate Swaps

For asset/liability management purposes, Royal Bancshares uses interest rate swap agreements to hedge various exposures or to modify interest rate characteristics of various balance sheet accounts. Such derivatives are used as part of the asset/liability management process, are linked to specific liabilities, and have a high correlation between the contract and the underlying item being hedged, both at inception and throughout the hedge period.

The Company currently utilizes interest rate swap agreements to convert a portion of its fixed rate time deposits to a variable rate (fair value hedge) to fund variable rate loans and investments. Interest rate swap contracts in which a series of interest flows are exchanged over a prescribed period. The notional amount of $60 million on which interest payments are based is not exchanged. During the third quarter ended September 30, 2005 the Company recorded an expense in the amount of $676,000 in other operating expenses which reflects the fair value of the interest rate swaps resulting from the Company not meeting the upfront documentation and the effectiveness assessment requirements of SFAS 133. As of October 1, 2005 and December 31, 2005, the Company had completed documentation determining the effectiveness of each hedge using the Volatility Reduction Measure (“VRM”). It was determined that these swaps are to be effective and should be treated as a fair value hedge.

At December 31, 2005 and 2004, the information pertaining to outstanding interest rate swap agreement used to hedge fixed rate loans and investments is as follows:


	December 31,
(in thousands)	2005			2004
Notional Amount	$	60,000		$	25,000
Weighted average pay rate		4.40	%		2.33	%
Weighted average receive rate		3.87	%		2.50	%
Weighted average maturity (years)		4.5			1.72
Unrealized loss relating to interest rate swaps		($1,281	)		($135	)

The change in the fair value of the swaps from 2004 to 2005 is related to $50 million of new contracts during 2005 along with $15 million of the swaps which were in existence at the end of 2004 maturing during 2005.

19. Restatement

In connection with the preparation of the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the year ended December 31, 2005, included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, management reconsidered the classification of certain cash flows principally relating to income derived from equity real estate investments received during the period along with the treatment of the deconsolidation of these investments. In addition, management reconsidered the treatment of OREO transfers from loans and the treatment of accretion and amortization of loans and investments.

The following table identifies the restatements made to the consolidated statement of cash flows:

NOTE B — SEGMENT INFORMATION

SFAS No. 131, “Segment Reporting,” established standards for public business enterprises to report information about operating segments in their annual financial statements and requires that those enterprises report selected information about operating segments in subsequent interim financial reports issued to shareholders. It also established standards for related disclosure about products and services, geographic areas, and major customers. Operating segments are components of an enterprise, which are evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate and assess resources and performance. Royal Bancshares’ chief operating decision maker is the President and Chief Executive Officer. Royal Bancshares has identified its reportable operating segment as “Community Banking.”

Royal Bancshares’ community banking segment consists of commercial and retail banking. The community banking business segment is managed as a single strategic unit which generates revenue from a variety of products and services provided by Royal Bank. For example, commercial lending is dependent upon the ability of Royal Bank to fund itself with retail deposits and other borrowings and to manage interest rate and credit risk. This situation is also similar for consumer and residential mortgage lending.

Royal Bancshares’ tax lien operation does not meet the quantitative thresholds for requiring disclosure, but has different characteristics than the community banking operation. Royal Bancshares’ tax lien operation consists of purchasing delinquent tax certificates from local municipalities at auction. The tax lien segment is managed as a single strategic unit which generates revenue from a nominal interest rate achieved at the individual auctions along with periodic penalties imposed.

As a result of FIN 46(R), as of December 31, 2005 Royal Bancshares is reporting on a consolidated basis its interest in one equity investment as a VIE which has different characteristics than the community banking segment. Royal Bancshares has an investment in an apartment complex that is being converted into condominiums.

As of December 31, 2004, Royal Bancshares reported on a consolidated basis its interest in four equity investments as VIE’s which have different characteristics that the community banking segment. Royal Bancshares had investments in two apartment complexes and two buildings leased as a commercial office space.

The accounting policies used in this disclosure of business segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies.

In management’s opinion the unrealized losses reflect changes in interest rates subsequent to the purchase of specific securities. At December 31, 2005, there were 26 securities in the less than twelve month category and 11 in the twelve or more month category and of the $394 million fair value of investments, $333 million consisted of government bonds and government secured mortgage backed securities which maintain a AAA rating. Royal Bancshares has the ability to hold these securities until maturity or market price recovery. Management believes that the unrealized losses represent temporary impairments of the securities.

Total loans	$	549,636		$	467,294

Loans on which the accrual of interest has been discontinued or reduced amounted to approximately $4,371,000 and $4,526,000 at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. If interest had been accrued, such income would have been approximately $506,000, $209,000 and $401,000 for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Management believes it has adequate collateral to limit its credit risk with these loans.

Royal Bancshares granted loans to the officers and directors of Royal Bancshares and to their associates. In accordance with Regulation O 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 $13,338,000 and $5,163,000 at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. During 2005, three new loans totaling $8,658,000 were made and repayments totaled $483,000.

Impaired loans which include the loans on which the accrual of interest has been discontinued, was approximately $10,003,000 and $14,087,000 at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Royal Bancshares 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 2005 and 2004 was $-0- and $-0-, respectively. During 2005, the average balance of impaired loans was $13,471,000. At December 31, 2005 there was $1,473,000 of the allowance for possible loan loss reserved specifically for impaired loans.

Total cash collected on impaired loans during 2005 was $3,001,000 of which $3,001,000 was credited to the principal balance outstanding on such loans. Royal Bancshares’ policy for interest income recognition on impaired loans is to recognize income on currently performing restructured loans under the accrual method. Royal Bancshares 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 Royal Bancshares. If these factors do not exist, Royal Bancshares does not recognize income.

2.Subordinated Debentures

On October 27, 2004, Royal Bancshares completed a private placement of an aggregate of $25.0 million of Trust Preferred Securities through two newly-formed Delaware trust affiliates, Royal Bancshares Capital Trust I (“Trust I”) and Royal Bancshares Capital Trust II (“Trust II”) (collectively, the “Trusts”). As part of this transaction, Royal Bancshares issued an aggregate principal amount of $12,887,000 of floating rate junior subordinate debt securities to Trust I, which debt securities bear an interest rate of 6.64% at December 31, 2005, and reset quarterly at 3-month LIBOR plus 2.15%, and an aggregate principal amount of $12,887,000 of fixed/floating rate junior subordinated deferrable interest to Trust II, which debt securities bear an initial interest rate of 5.80% until December 2009 and then which will reset quarterly at 3-month LIBOR plus 2.15%.

Each of Trust I and Trust II issued an aggregate principal amount of $12,500,000 of capital securities bearing fixed and/or fixed/floating interest rates corresponding to the debt securities held by each trust to an unaffiliated investment vehicle and an aggregate principal amount of $387,000 of common securities bearing fixed and/or fixed/floating interest rates corresponding to the debt securities held by each trust to Royal Bancshares. Royal Bancshares has fully and unconditionally guaranteed all of the obligations of the Trusts, including any distributions and payments on liquidation or redemption of the capital securities.

The Federal Reserve has issued final guidance on the regulatory capital treatment for trust preferred securities issued by Trust as a result of the adoption of FIN 46(R). The rule would retain current maximum percentage of total capital permitted for Trust Preferred Securities at 25%, but would enact other changes to the rules governing Trust Preferred Securities that affect their use as a part of the collection of entities known as “restricted core capital elements.” The rule would take effect March 31, 2009; however, a five year transition period starting March 31, 2004 and leading up to that date would allow bank holding companies to continue to count Trust Preferred Securities as Tier 1 Capital after applying FIN 46(R). Management has evaluated the effects of the rule and does not anticipate a material impact on its capital ratios.

2.Employee Stock Option and Appreciation Right Plan

Royal Bancshares adopted a Stock Option and Appreciation Right Plan (the Plan). 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 1,650,000 shares of Royal Bancshares’ Class A common stock (but not in excess of 15% of outstanding shares). At the time a stock option is granted, 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.

NOTE M — PENSION PLANS

Royal Bancshares has a noncontributory nonqualified defined benefit pension plan covering certain eligible employees. Royal Bancshares-sponsored pension plan provides retirement benefits under pension trust agreements and under contracts with insurance companies. The benefits are based on years of service and the employee’s compensation during the highest three consecutive years during the last 10 years of employment. Royal Bancshares’ policy is to fund pension costs allowable for income tax purposes. The following table sets forth the plan’s funded status and amounts recognized in Royal Bancshares consolidated balance sheets (in thousands):


	2005			2004

Change in benefit obligation
Benefit obligation at beginning of year	$	4,303		$	3,591

NOTE M — PENSION PLANS—Continued

Royal Bancshares has a capital accumulation and salary reduction plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Under the plan, all employees are eligible to contribute up to the maximum allowed by IRS regulation, with Royal Bancshares matching 100% of any contribution between 1% and 5% subject to a $2,500 per employee annual limit. Matching contributions to the plan were approximately $155,000, $162,000 and $199,000 for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

NOTE N — FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK AND CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

Royal Bancshares 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 Royal Bancshares has in particular classes of financial instruments.

Royal Bancshares’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. Royal Bancshares uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

The contract amounts are as follows (in thousands):


	December 31.
	2005		2004

Financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk
Commitments to extend credit	$	176,415	$	119,458
Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees written		3,228		1,797
Financial Instruments whose notional amount exceed the amount the amount of credit risk.
Interest rate swap agreements	$	60,000	$	25,000

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, and others are for staged construction, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent immediate cash requirements.

NOTE N — FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK AND CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK — Continued

Royal Bancshares evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by Royal Bancshares 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 Royal Bancshares 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 2006. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. Royal Bancshares 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 approximately 80%.

NOTE O — 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 Royal Bancshares, 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 Royal Bancshares’s general practice and intent to hold its financial instruments to maturity and not to engage in trading or sales activities. Therefore, Royal Bancshares 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, 2005 and 2004 were as follows:

The fair value of commitments to extend credit is estimated based on the amount of unamortized deferred loan commitment fees. The fair value of letters of credit is based on the amount of unearned fees plus the estimated cost to terminate the letters of credit. Fair values of unrecognized financial instruments including commitments to extend credit and the fair value of letters of credit are considered immaterial.

The fair value of accrued interest receivable and payable approximates carrying amounts.

The fair value of interest rate swaps are based on upon the estimated amount Royal Bank would receive or pay to terminate the contract or agreements, taking into account current interest rates and, when appropriate, the current creditworthiness of the counterparties. The fair value of the interest rate swaps as of December 31, 2005 was a negative $1.3 million on a notional amount $60 million. The fair value of the interest rate swaps as of December 31, 2004 was a negative $135 thousand on a notional amount $25 million.

Royal Bancshares’ remaining assets and liabilities are not considered financial instruments. No disclosure of the relationship value of Royal Bancshares’s deposits is required by SFAS No. 107.

NOTE P — REGULATORY MATTERS

1.Payment of Dividends

Under the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law, Royal Bancshares 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 Code) and in the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (FDIA) concerning the payment of dividends by Royal Bancshares. Under the Code, no dividends may be paid except from “accumulated net earnings” (generally retained earnings). 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).

In addition, dividends paid by Royal Bank to Royal Bancshares would be prohibited if the effect thereof would cause Royal Bank’s capital to be reduced below applicable minimum capital requirements.

2.Capital Ratios

Royal Bancshares and Royal Bank are 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 Royal Bancshares’ financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, Royal Bancshares must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of Royal Bancshares’ assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Royal Bancshares and Royal Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.

(Continued)

ROYAL BANCSHARES OF PENNSYLVANIA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements — Continued

NOTE P — REGULATORY MATTERS — Continued

Quantitative measures established by regulations to ensure capital adequacy require Royal Bancshares and Royal 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, 2005, management believes that Royal Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

As of December 31, 2005, Royal Bank met all regulatory requirements for classification as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, Royal 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 Royal Bank’s category.

Royal Bancshares’ and Royal Bank’s actual capital amounts and ratios are also presented in the table (in thousands).
