	Note 1.	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
	Basis of Financial Presentation
	The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Royal Bancshares of Pennsylvania, Inc. (“Royal Bancshares” or the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Royal Investments of Delaware, Inc., including Royal Investments of Delaware, Inc.’s wholly owned subsidiary, Royal Preferred, LLC, and Royal Bank America (“Royal Bank”), including Royal Bank’s subsidiaries, Royal Real Estate of Pennsylvania, Inc., Royal Investments America, LLC, RBA Property LLC, Narberth Property Acquisition LLC, Rio Marina LLC, and Royal Tax Lien Services, LLC (“RTL”).  Royal Bank also has an 80% and 60% ownership interest in Crusader Servicing Corporation (“CSC”) and Royal Bank America Leasing, LP, respectively.  At March 31, 2013, Royal Bank’s ownership interest in CSC and RTL was 60%.  The two Delaware trusts, Royal Bancshares Capital Trust I and Royal Bancshares Capital Trust II are not consolidated per requirements under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810, “Consolidation” (“ASC Topic 810”). These consolidated financial statements reflect the historical information of the Company.  All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
	The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information. Applications of the principles in the Company’s preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes.  These estimates and assumptions are based on information available as of the date of the consolidated financial statements; therefore, actual results could differ from those estimates. The interim financial information included herein is unaudited; however, such information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of the results for the interim periods.  These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.  The results of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
	Accounting Policies Recently Adopted and Pending Accounting Pronouncements
	In February 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-04, Liabilities (Topic 405): Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date (“ASU 2013-04”).  ASU 2013-04 provides guidance for the recognition, measurement and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements.  ASU 2013-04 requires an entity to measure obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of this guidance is fixed at the reporting date, as the sum of the following:
	a. The amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors
	b. Any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors.
	ASU 2013-04 also requires an entity to disclose the nature and amount of the obligation as well as other information about those obligations.  For public companies ASU 2013-04 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of ASU 2013-04 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
	In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740):  Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (“ASU 2013-11”).  Currently there is diversity in practice in the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits.  The aim of ASU 2013-11 is to provide guidance on the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, similar tax loss, or tax credit carryforward exists. An unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, except for circumstances outlined in ASU 2013-11.  For public companies ASU 2013-11 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of ASU 2013-04 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
	In January 2014, FASB issued ASU No. 2014-04 Receivables (Topic 310): Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40) Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure (“ASU 2014-04”).  ASC Topic 310 includes guidance that states that a creditor should reclassify a collateralized mortgage loan such that the loan should be derecognized and the collateral asset recognized when it determines that there has been in substance a repossession or foreclosure by the creditor, that is, the creditor receives physical possession of the debtor’s assets regardless of whether formal foreclosure proceedings take place. However, the terms in substance a repossession or foreclosure and physical possession are not defined in the accounting literature and there is diversity about when a creditor should derecognize the loan receivable and recognize the real estate property. That diversity has been highlighted by recent extended foreclosure timelines and processes related to residential real estate properties.
	The objectives in ASU 2014-04 are intended to reduce diversity in practice by clarifying when an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, that is, when a creditor should be considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan such that the loan should be derecognized and the real estate property recognized. Holding foreclosed real estate property presents different operational and economic risk to creditors compared with holding an impaired loan. Therefore, consistency in the timing of loan derecognition and presentation of foreclosed real estate properties is of qualitative significance to users of the creditor’s financial statements. Additionally, the disclosure of the amount of foreclosed residential real estate properties and of the recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans secured by residential real estate properties that are in the process of foreclosure is expected to provide decision-useful information to many users of the creditor’s financial statements. The amendments in ASU 2014-04 are effective for public business entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014. An entity can elect to adopt the amendments in ASU 2014-04 using either a modified retrospective transition method or a prospective transition method.  Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2014-04 is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
	In April 2014, FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08 Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360) - Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity (“ASU 2014-08”).  The amendments in ASU 2014-08 change the criteria for reporting discontinued operations for all public and nonpublic entities. Currently, a component of an entity that is a reportable segment, an operating segment, a reporting unit, a subsidiary, or an asset group is eligible for discontinued operations presentation.  Once the amendments of ASU 2014-08 take effect, only those disposals of components of an entity that represent a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results will be reported as discontinued operations in the financial statements.   The amendments also require new disclosures about discontinued operations and disposals of components of an entity that do not qualify for discontinued operations reporting. The amendments in ASU 2014-08 are effective for public business entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014.  Early adoption is permitted but only for disposals (or classifications as held for sale) that have not been reported in financial statements previously issued or available for issuance. The adoption of ASU 2014-08 is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Regulatory Matters and Significant Risks or Uncertainties [Abstract]	'
Regulatory Matters and Significant Risks or Uncertainties	'
	Note 2.	Regulatory Matters and Significant Risks or Uncertainties
	FDIC and Department of Banking Memorandum of Understanding
	During the fourth quarter of 2011, Royal Bank entered into an informal agreement, known as a memorandum of understanding (“MOU”) with each of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and the Pennsylvania Department of Banking (the “Department”). Included in the MOU is the requirement of maintaining a ratio of Tier 1 capital to total assets (“leverage ratio”) equal to or greater than 8% and a total risk-based capital ratio equal to or greater than 12%. At March 31, 2014, based on capital levels calculated under regulatory principles (“RAP”), Royal Bank’s leverage and total risk-based capital ratios were 9.36% and 16.17%, respectively.  Please refer to “Note 11 – Regulatory Capital Requirements” to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Under the MOU, Royal Bank must receive prior approval from the FDIC and the Department before declaring and paying a dividend to the Company.
	Federal Reserve Agreement
	As previously disclosed, in March 2010, the Company agreed to enter into a written agreement (the “Federal Reserve Agreement”) with the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia (the “Federal Reserve Bank”).  In July 2013, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System terminated the enforcement action under Federal Reserve Agreement, and it was replaced with an informal non-public agreement, an MOU, with the Federal Reserve Bank, effective July 17, 2013.  Included in the MOU are certain continued reporting requirements and a requirement that the Company receive the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Bank and the Director of Banking Supervision and Regulation of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System prior to declaring or paying any dividends on the Company’s common stock, making interest payments related to the Company’s outstanding trust preferred securities or subordinate securities, incurring or guaranteeing certain debt with an original maturity date greater than one year, and purchasing or redeeming any shares of stock.  The MOU will remain in effect until stayed, modified, terminated or suspended in writing by the Federal Reserve Bank.
	Our success as a Company is dependent upon pursuing various alternatives in not only achieving the growth and expansion of our banking franchise but also in managing our day to day operations. The existence of the two MOUs may limit or impact our ability to pursue all previously available alternatives in the management of the Company. Our ability to retain existing retail and commercial customers as well as the ability to attract potentially new customers may be impacted by the existence of the MOUs. Additionally, the Company’s ability to raise capital in the current economic environment could be potentially limited or impacted as a result of the MOUs. Attracting new management talent is critical to the success of our business and could be potentially affected due to the existence of the MOUs.

	The Company had recorded significant losses over the five years prior to 2013 which were primarily related to charge-offs on the loan and lease portfolio, other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) charges on investment securities, impairment charges on OREO, credit related expenses and the establishment of a deferred tax valuation allowance.  In addition to reducing the total shareholders’ equity, the accumulated deficit impacts the Company’s ability to pay cash dividends to its shareholders now and in future years.  For the first quarter of 2014, the Company recorded net income of $1.5 million compared to $118,000 for the comparable period in 2013.  The quarter over quarter improvement was mainly related to growth in net interest income of $754,000, an increase in the credit for loan and lease of $388,000 and declines in salaries and benefits and credit related expenses of $409,000 and $280,000, respectively.  Partially offsetting these positive items was a $676,000 decline in gains on the sale of Company owned real estate, a $71,000 increase in marketing and advertising expenses and a $60,000 rise in occupancy and equipment expenses, which were impacted by the harsh winter conditions in our markets.
	Credit Quality
	The financial services and real estate industries were hit particularly hard during the “Great Recession” and as a result the Company’s loan and investment portfolios were directly affected.  The Company’s commercial real estate loans, including construction and land development loans, saw a decline in the collateral values and a reduction in the borrowers’ ability to meet the payment terms of their loans due to reduced cash flow.  Further declines in collateral values and borrowers’ liquidity with sustained unemployment at current levels may lead to additional increases in foreclosures, delinquencies and customer bankruptcies.  The Company is less able than a larger institution to spread the risks of unfavorable local economic conditions across a large number of more diverse economies.
	Royal Bank was successful in reducing net classified assets, which includes special mention, substandard and non-accrual loans and OREO, from $61.4 million at December 31, 2013 to $52.8 million at March 31, 2014.  Royal Bank’s delinquent loans held for investment (30 to 90 days) amounted to $2.5 million at March 31, 2014 versus $2.6 million at December 31, 2013. Material advances on any classified or delinquent loan require approval from the Board of Directors and determined to be in Royal Bank’s best interest.  The Company recorded $1.2 million in charge-offs for the first quarter of 2014 compared to $2.0 million in charge-offs for the first quarter of 2013.
	Liquidity and Funds Management
	As of March 31, 2014, Royal Bank had $182.5 million of available borrowing capacity at the FHLB.  Royal Bank also has availability to borrow from the Federal Reserve Discount Window, which was approximately $7.8 million at March 31, 2014, and was based on collateral pledged. Borrowings were $102.8 million and $107.9 million at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.  During the first quarter of 2014, Royal Bank secured an additional $10.0 million line of credit, of which $0 is outstanding, with a local financial institution.
	At March 31, 2014, the liquidity to deposits ratio was 73.3% compared to Royal Bank’s 12% policy target and the liquidity to total liabilities ratio was 57.6% compared to Royal Bank’s 10% policy target. The Company also has unfunded pension plan obligations, which potentially could impact liquidity, of $14.4 million as of March 31, 2014 compared to $14.5 million at December 31, 2013.  The Company plans to fund the pension plan obligations through existing Company owned life insurance policies.
	Dividend and Interest Restrictions
	Due to the MOU, our ability to obtain lines of credit, to receive attractive collateral treatment from funding sources, and to pursue all attractive funding alternatives in this current low interest rate environment could be impacted and thereby limit liquidity alternatives. On August 13, 2009, the Company’s Board suspended the regular quarterly cash dividends on the $30.4 million in Series A Preferred Stock and the interest payments on the $25.8 million in trust preferred securities.  As of March 31, 2014, the Series A Preferred stock dividend in arrears was $8.2 million and has not been recognized in the consolidated financial statements.  The Company believes the decision to suspend the preferred cash dividends will better support the liquidity position of Royal Bank.  In the event the Company declared the preferred dividend in arrears the Company’s capital ratios would be negatively affected; however, they would remain above the required minimum ratios.  During the third quarter of 2013, the Company received approval from the Federal Reserve Bank and paid the interest payment in arrears on the trust preferred securities.  The Company received approval and paid the first quarter interest payment in March 2014.
	At March 31, 2014, as a result of significant losses within Royal Bank, the Company had negative retained earnings and therefore would not have been able to declare and pay any cash dividends.  Royal Bank must receive prior approval from the FDIC and the Department before declaring and paying a dividend to the Company.  Under the Federal Reserve Agreement the Company may not declare or pay any dividends without the prior written approval of the Reserve Bank and the Director of the Division of Banking Supervision and Regulation of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
	Capital Adequacy
	In connection with a prior bank regulatory examination, the FDIC concluded, based upon its interpretation of the Call Report instructions and under RAP, that income from Royal Bank’s tax lien business should be recognized on a cash basis, not an accrual basis.  Royal Bank’s current accrual method is in accordance with U.S. GAAP.  Royal Bank disagrees with the FDIC’s conclusion and filed the Call Report for March 31, 2014 and the previous 14 quarters in accordance with U.S. GAAP.  However, the change in the manner of revenue recognition for the tax lien business for regulatory accounting purposes affects Royal Bank’s and potentially the Company’s capital ratios as disclosed in “Note 11 - Regulatory Capital Requirements” to the Consolidated Financial Statements.  The resolution of this matter will be decided by additional joint regulatory agency guidance which includes the Federal Reserve Bank, the FDIC, and the OCC.
	Under the MOU, Royal Bank must maintain a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio and a minimum total risk-based capital ratio of 8% and 12%, respectively. At March 31, 2014, based on capital levels calculated under RAP, Royal Bank’s leverage and total risk-based capital ratios were 9.36% and 16.17%, respectively.
	Company Plans and Strategy
	During the past few years, the Company recorded significant impairment charges and carrying costs on non-accrual loans and OREO which have weighed heavily on earnings and were the largest contributing factors to the Company’s losses.  The Company’s strategic plan included improving the overall level of credit quality, maintaining reduced credit risk within the investment portfolio, reducing the overall level of expenses, returning to profitability, and meeting the capital level requirements for Royal Bank as set forth in the FDIC MOU.
	While sustaining capital ratios above the required minimum, the Company has made progress in improving credit quality, reducing the CRE concentration, strengthening the Board and maintaining liquidity. As a result of the decline in level of classified assets, there have been credits rather than provisions to loan and lease losses and a reduction in the overall carrying costs associated with classified assets.  The deleveraging of the balance sheet has also reduced earning assets, which has historically resulted in a decline in net interest income and has had a significant impact on overall earnings. To improve net interest margin and net interest income, management is diligently working on changing the mix of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.  In the event further deleveraging is necessary to maintain the required capital levels, net interest income would be negatively impacted.
	During 2013, the strategic plan evolved into transitioning Royal Bank into a community bank built on a solid commercial revenue and retail delivery foundation.  During the first quarter of 2013, to support the strategic goals, management had announced a set of sweeping initiatives through the Company's "Profitability Improvement Plan" ("PIP") designed to enhance company-wide efficiency, productivity and modernization.  During 2013, the Company realized a 22% reduction in the workforce, which included reorganizing and relocating certain personnel to improve departmental synergies and better align managers and staff so they can work together in cohesive teams to accomplish their objectives.  Additionally, pursuant to the real estate rationalization plan under PIP, two branches were consolidated and four Company-owned buildings were sold.
	During the first quarter of 2014, the Company reorganized the retail division to better serve existing customers, develop the retail sales teams, and promote attainment of new customer relationships. Also during the first quarter of 2014, the Company continued a successful 50th anniversary campaign by offering a Kindle to new customers who met certain deposit account opening criteria. In January and April, the Villanova and Phoenixville branches, respectively, were relocated to more convenient, high-traffic locations within the same markets. Plans are being developed to relocate two additional branches.

	The Company evaluates securities for OTTI at least on a quarterly basis.  The Company assesses whether OTTI is present when the fair value of a security is less than its amortized cost.  All investment securities are evaluated for OTTI under FASB ASC Topic 320, “Investments-Debt & Equity Securities” (“ASC Topic 320”).  Non-agency collateralized mortgage obligations maybe evaluated under FASB ASC Topic 325 Subtopic 40, “Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets”.  In determining whether OTTI exists, management considers numerous factors, including but not limited to: (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value is less than the amortized cost, (2) the Company’s intent to hold or sell the security, (3) the financial condition and results of the issuer including changes in capital, (4) the credit rating of the issuer, (5) analysts’ earnings estimate, (6) industry trends specific to the security, and (7) timing of debt maturity and status of debt payments.
	Under ASC Topic 320, OTTI is considered to have occurred with respect to debt securities (1) if an entity intends to sell the security; (2) if it is more likely than not an entity will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis; or (3) the present value of the expected cash flows is not sufficient to recover the entire amortized cost basis.  In addition, the amount of the OTTI recognized in earnings depends on whether an entity intends to sell or will more likely than not be required to sell the security.  If an entity intends to sell the security or will be required to sell the security, the OTTI shall be recognized in earnings equal to the entire difference between the fair value and the amortized cost basis at the balance sheet date.  If an entity does not intend to sell the security and it is not more likely than not that the entity will be required to sell the security before the recovery of its amortized cost basis, the OTTI shall be separated into two amounts, the credit-related loss and the noncredit-related loss. The credit-related loss is based on the present value of the expected cash flows and is recognized in earnings.  The noncredit-related loss is based on other factors such as illiquidity and is recognized in other comprehensive income (loss).  The Company did not record OTTI charges to earnings during the first quarters of 2014 and 2013.
	There was no credit-related impairment losses on debt securities held at March 31, 2014 for which a portion of OTTI was recognized in other comprehensive income.  The following table presents a roll-forward of the balance of credit-related impairment losses on debt securities held at March 31, 2013 for which a portion of OTTI was recognized in other comprehensive income.

The AFS portfolio had gross unrealized losses of $7.0 million and $9.7 million at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.  The $2.7 million improvement in the gross unrealized loss was directly related to decreases of $1.9 million, $247,000 and $192,000 in gross unrealized losses on government agency debt securities, MBS and Agency CMOs, respectively.  In determining the Company’s intent not to sell and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis, management considers the following factors: current liquidity and availability of other non-pledged assets that permits the investment to be held for an extended period of time but not necessarily until maturity, capital planning, and any specific investment committee goals or guidelines related to the disposition of specific investments. The Company did not record OTTI charges in the first quarters of 2014 or 2013.
Common stocks:  As of March 31, 2014, the Company had two common stocks of financial institutions with a total fair value of $49,000 and an unrealized gain of $16,000.
For all debt security types discussed below the fair value is based on prices provided by brokers and safekeeping custodians.
U.S. government-sponsored agencies (“U.S. Agencies”):  As of March 31, 2014, the Company had 21 U.S. Agencies with a fair value of $63.1 million and gross unrealized losses of $4.3 million.  Fourteen of these U.S. Agencies have been in an unrealized loss position for less than twelve months.  The seven bonds, that have been in an unrealized loss position for twelve months or longer, had a fair market value of $19.3 million and unrealized losses of $1.4 million at March 31, 2014. Management believes that the unrealized losses on these debt securities are a function of changes in investment spreads.  Management expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of these securities.  The Company does not intend to sell these securities before recovery of their cost basis and will not more likely than not be required to sell these securities before recovery of their cost basis.  Therefore, management has determined that these securities are not other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2014.
Mortgage-backed securities issued by U.S. government agencies and U.S. government sponsored enterprises: As of March 31, 2014, the Company had eight mortgage-backed securities with a fair value of $21.6 million and gross unrealized losses of $635,000. Three of the mortgage-backed securities had been in an unrealized loss position of twelve months or longer and the remaining five mortgage-backed securities have been in an unrealized loss position for less than twelve months. The unrealized loss is attributable to a combination of factors, including relative changes in interest rates since the time of purchase.  The contractual cash flows for these securities are guaranteed by U.S. government agencies and U.S. government-sponsored enterprises. Based on its assessment of these factors, management believes that the unrealized losses on these debt securities are a function of changes in investment spreads and interest rate movements and not changes in credit quality.  Management expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of these securities.  The Company does not intend to sell these securities before recovery of their cost basis and will not more likely than not be required to sell these securities before recovery of their cost basis.  Therefore, management has determined that these securities are not other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2014.
U.S. government issued or sponsored collateralized mortgage obligations (“Agency CMOs”):  As of March 31, 2014, the Company had 28 Agency CMOs with a fair value of $88.2 million and gross unrealized losses of $1.8 million.  Five of the Agency CMOs had been in an unrealized loss position for twelve months or longer and the remaining 23 Agency CMOs have been in an unrealized loss position for less than twelve months.  The unrealized loss is attributable to a combination of factors, including relative changes in interest rates since the time of purchase.  The contractual cash flows for these securities are guaranteed by U.S. government agencies and U.S. government-sponsored enterprises. Based on its assessment of these factors, management believes that the unrealized losses on these debt securities are a function of changes in investment spreads and interest rate movements and not changes in credit quality.  Management expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of these securities.  The Company does not intend to sell these securities before recovery of their cost basis and will not more likely than not be required to sell these securities before recovery of their cost basis.  Therefore, management has determined that these securities are not other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2014.
Non-agency collateralized mortgage obligations (“Non-agency CMOs”):  As of March 31, 2014, the Company had two non-agency CMOs with a fair value of $4.3 million and gross unrealized gains of $28,000.
Corporate bonds:  As of March 31, 2014, the Company had two corporate bonds with a fair value of $1.9 million and gross unrealized losses of $67,000.  One of the corporate bonds had been in an unrealized loss position for twelve months or longer and one bond has been in an unrealized loss position for less than twelve months.  Both bonds are investment grade.    The Company’s unrealized losses in investments in corporate bonds represent interest rate risk and not credit risk of the underlying issuers. As previously mentioned management also considered (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value is less than the amortized cost, (2) the Company’s intent to hold or sell the security, (3) the financial condition and results of the issuer including changes in capital, (4) the credit rating of the issuer, (5) analysts’ earnings estimate, (6) industry trends specific to the security, and (7) timing of debt maturity and status of debt payments.  Management utilized discounted cash flow analysis based upon the credit ratings of the securities, liquidity risk premiums, and the recent corporate spreads for similar securities to arrive at the credit risk component as required under ASC Topic 320 to determine the credit risk component of the corporate bonds.  Based on these analyses, there was no credit-related loss on the two bonds. Because the Company does not intend to sell the corporate bonds and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the bonds before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider the two bonds to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2014.
Municipal bonds:  As of March 31, 2014, the Company had eight municipal bonds with a fair value $6.0 million and gross unrealized losses of $98,000.  Three of the municipal bonds have been in an unrealized loss position for less than twelve months and five municipal bonds have been in an unrealized loss position for more twelve months or longer.   Because the Company does not intend to sell the bonds and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the bond before recovery of its amortized cost basis, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider the bonds to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2014.
Other securities:  As of March 31, 2014, the Company had seven investments in private equity funds which were predominantly invested in real estate.  In determining whether or not OTTI exists, the Company reviews the funds’ financials, asset values, and its near-term projections.  At March 31, 2014, two of the private equity funds had a combined fair value of $339,000 and an unrealized loss of $100,000.  OTTI charges were recorded in a prior period on these two funds.  Management concluded that there was no additional impairment on these two funds as of March 31, 2014.
The Company will continue to monitor these investments to determine if the discounted cash flow analysis, continued negative trends, market valuations or credit defaults result in impairment that is other than temporary.

Loans and Leases	'
	Note 4.	Loans and Leases
	Major classifications of LHFI are as follows:
			March 31,		December 31,
	(In thousands)		2014		2013
	Commercial real estate		$	150,111	$	148,293
	Construction and land development			45,751		45,261

	Consumer			965		826
	Total LHFI, net of unearned income		$	358,658		366,481
	The Company originates commercial and real estate loans, including construction and land development loans primarily in the greater Philadelphia metropolitan area as well as selected locations throughout the mid-Atlantic region.  The Company also has participated with other financial institutions in selected construction and land development loans outside our geographic area. The Company has a concentration of credit risk in commercial real estate, construction and land development loans at March 31, 2014.  A substantial portion of its debtors’ ability to honor their contracts is dependent upon the housing sector specifically and the economy in general.
	Loans and leases are classified as LHFI when management has the intent and ability to hold the loan or lease for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff.  LHFI are stated at their outstanding unpaid principal balances, net of an allowance for loan and leases losses and any deferred fees or costs. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized as an adjustment of the yield (interest income) of the related loans. The Company is generally amortizing these amounts over the contractual life of the loan.
	At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company’s loans held for sale (“LHFS”) were $0 and $1.4 million, respectively.  The three loans that comprised the balance at December 31, 2013 were sold during the first quarter of 2014.  These loans were transferred from LHFI at fair market value using expected net sales proceeds.
	The Company classifies its leases as finance leases, in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 840, “Leases”. The difference between the Company’s gross investment in the lease and the cost or carrying amount of the leased property, if different, is recorded as unearned income, which is amortized to income over the lease term by the interest method.
	The Company uses a nine point grading risk classification system commonly used in the financial services industry as the credit quality indicator.  The first four classifications are rated Pass.  The riskier classifications include Pass-watch, Special Mention, Substandard, Doubtful and Loss.  The risk rating is related to the underlying credit quality and probability of default.  These risk ratings are used to calculate the historical loss component of the allowance.
		·	Pass: includes credits that demonstrate a low probability of default;
		·	Pass-watch: a warning classification which includes credits that are beginning to demonstrate above average risk through declining earnings, strained cash flows, increased leverage and/or weakening market fundamentals;
		·	Special mention: includes credits that have potential weaknesses that if left uncorrected could weaken the credit or result in inadequate protection of the Company’s position at some future date. While potentially weak, credits in this classification are marginally acceptable and loss of principal or interest is not anticipated;
		·	Substandard accrual: includes credits that exhibit a well-defined weakness which currently jeopardizes the repayment of debt and liquidation of collateral even though they are currently performing. These credits are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company may incur a loss in the future if these weaknesses are not corrected;
		·	Non-accrual (substandard non-accrual, doubtful, loss): includes credits that demonstrate serious problems to the point that it is probable that interest and principal will not be collected according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.
	All loans, at the time of presentation to the appropriate loan committee, are given an initial loan risk rating by the Chief Credit Officer (“CCO”). From time to time, and at the general direction of any of the various loan committees, the ratings may be changed based on the findings of that committee. Items considered in assigning ratings include the financial strength of the borrower and/or guarantors, the type of collateral, the collateral lien position, the type of loan and loan structure, any potential risk inherent in the specific loan type, higher than normal monitoring of the loan or any other factor deemed appropriate by any of the various committees for changing the rating of the loan. Any such change in rating is reflected in the minutes of that committee.
	The following tables present risk ratings for each loan portfolio segment at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, excluding LHFS.

Total non-accrual loans		$	9,345	$	138	$	10,157	$	886
Total non-accrual loans at March 31, 2014 were $9.3 million compared to $10.2 million at December 31, 2013.    The slight decrease of $812,000 was the result of $1.2 million in charge-offs mostly related to specific reserves, $1.0 million reduction in existing non-accrual loan balances through payments and payoffs, and $672,000 in transfers to OREO, which were partially offset by additions of $2.1 million.  The tax certificate portfolio accounted for the majority of the new non-accrual activity and transfers to OREO.  If interest had been accrued, such income would have been approximately $275,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014.  The Company had no loans past due 90 days or more on which it has continued to accrue interest during the quarter. Typically, loans are restored to accrual status when the loan is brought current, has performed in accordance with the contractual terms for a reasonable period of time (generally six months) and the ultimate collectibility of the total contractual principal and interest is no longer in doubt.
Impaired Loans
The Company identifies a loan as impaired when it is probable that interest and principal will not be collected according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  Impaired loans include troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”). The Company does not accrue interest income on impaired non-accrual loans. Excess proceeds received over the principal amounts due on impaired non-accrual loans are recognized as income on a cash basis. The Company recognizes income under the accrual 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.
Total cash collected on non-accrual and impaired loans during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $2.0 million and $4.4 million respectively, of which $1.7 million and $4.2 million was credited to the principal balance outstanding on such loans, respectively.
The following is a summary of information pertaining to impaired loans:

(In thousands)		2014		2013
Impaired loans with a valuation allowance		$	885	$	3,835

Total impaired loans and leases		$	16,898	$	18,506

Troubled Debt Restructurings
A loan modification is deemed a TDR when two conditions are met: 1) the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and 2) concessions are made by the Company that would not otherwise be considered for a borrower or collateral with similar credit risk characteristics.  All loans classified as TDRs are considered to be impaired.  TDRs are returned to an accrual status when the loan is brought current, has performed in accordance with the contractual restructured terms for a reasonable period of time (generally six months) and the ultimate collectibility of the total contractual restructured principal and interest is no longer in doubt.  At March 31 2014, the Company had twelve TDRs, with a total carrying value of $10.3 million.  At the time of the modifications, four of the loans were already classified as impaired non-accrual loans.  At December 31, 2013, the Company had twelve TDRs with a total carrying value of $12.1 million.  The Company’s policy for TDRs is to recognize income on currently performing restructured loans under the accrual method.
The following table details the Company’s TDRs that are on an accrual status and non-accrual status at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

	OREO declined $249,000 from $9.6 million at December 31, 2013 to $9.4 million at March 31, 2014.  During the past twelve months there was a shift in OREO composition from real estate acquired through, or in lieu of foreclosure in settlement of loans to real estate acquired through foreclosure related to tax liens.  Set forth below are tables which detail the changes in OREO from December 31, 2013 to March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2012 to December 31, 2013.

	At March 31, 2014, OREO was comprised of $769,000 in land, $521,000 in commercial real estate, $7.8 million in tax liens, and residential real estate with a fair value of $292,000.  During the first quarter of 2014, the Company sold two condominiums related to a construction project in Minneapolis, Minnesota in which the Company is a participant. The Company received its pro rata share of net proceeds in the amount of $55,000 and recorded a net loss of $14,000.  As a result of these two sales and new agreements of sale the Company recorded an impairment charge of $74,000 on the remaining condominium units.
	As shown in the table above the composition of the OREO assets has evolved to properties acquired through the tax lien portfolio.  During the first quarter of 2014, the Company transferred $672,000 to OREO which represents eight properties.  During the same period the Company sold thirteen of the tax lien properties, received proceeds of $820,000, and recorded net gains of $143,000 as a result of these sales. Additionally, the Company recorded impairment charges of $101,000 in the first quarter of 2014 related to the tax lien properties.  At December 31, 2013, OREO assets acquired through the tax lien portfolio were $7.9 million and were comprised of 59 properties.

	Note 9.	Commitments, Contingencies, and Concentrations
	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.  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.
	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.
	The contract amounts are as follows:

	1	Preferred Stock
	On February 20, 2009, as part of the Capital Purchase Program (“CPP”) established by the United States Department of Treasury (“Treasury”), the Company issued to Treasury 30,407 shares of the Company’s Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A, without par value per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), and a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share.  In conjunction with the purchase of the Series A Preferred Stock, Treasury received a warrant to purchase 1,104,370 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock.  The aggregate purchase price for the Series A Preferred Stock and warrant was $30.4 million in cash.  The Series A Preferred Stock qualifies as Tier 1 capital and pays cumulative dividends at a rate of 5% per annum for the first five years, and 9% per annum commencing in February 2014.  The Series A Preferred Stock may generally be redeemed by the Company at any time following consultation with its primary banking regulators.  The warrant issued to Treasury has a 10-year term and is immediately exercisable upon its issuance, with an exercise price, subject to anti-dilution adjustments, equal to $4.13 per share of the common stock.  The Company utilized the extra capital provided by the CPP funds to support its efforts to prudently and transparently provide lending and liquidity while also balancing the goal to remain well-capitalized.
	The Company received regulatory approval to bid up to $14.0 million to purchase shares of the Series A Preferred Stock in an auction of such shares to be conducted by the Treasury.  The Company expects the auction to occur in the second quarter of 2014.  If the Company is successful in purchasing shares of the preferred stock then a shareholder rights offering will be offered to existing shareholders.  Both actions received shareholder approval in 2013.
	2	Common Stock
	The Company’s Class A common stock trades on the NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol RBPAA.  There is no market for the Company’s Class B common stock.  The Class B shares may not be transferred in any manner except to the holder’s immediate family.  Class B shares may be converted to Class A shares at the rate of 1.15 to 1.  Class B common stock is entitled to one vote for each Class A share and ten votes for each Class B share held.  Holders of either class of common stock are entitled to conversion equivalent per share dividends when declared.
	3	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 “Code”) and in the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (“FDIA”) affecting the payment of dividends to the Company by Royal Bank.  Under the Code, no dividends may be paid by a bank except from “accumulated net earnings” (generally retained earnings).  In addition, dividends paid by Royal Bank to the Company would be prohibited if the effect thereof would cause Royal Bank’s capital to be reduced below applicable minimum capital requirements.  At March 31, 2014, the Company had an accumulated deficit and therefore would not have been able to declare and pay any cash dividends.  Royal Bank must receive prior approval from the FDIC and the Department before declaring and paying a dividend to the Company.
	On August 13, 2009, the Company’s Board suspended the regular quarterly cash dividends on the $30.4 million in Series A Preferred Stock.  The Company’s Board took this action in consultation with the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia as required by regulatory policy guidance.  As of March 31, 2014, the Series A Preferred stock dividend in arrears was $8.2 million and has not been recognized in the consolidated financial statements.  In the event the Company declared the preferred dividend the Company’s capital ratios would be negatively affected however they would remain above the required minimum ratios.  Under the Federal Reserve MOU as described in “Note 2 – Regulatory Matters and Significant Risks or Uncertainties” to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company may not declare or pay any dividends without the prior written approval of the Reserve Bank and the Director of the Division of Banking Supervision and Regulation of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.  In February 2014, the preferred cumulative dividend rate prospectively increased to 9% per annum.

Regulatory Capital Requirements	'
	Note 11.	Regulatory Capital Requirements
	The Company 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 the Company’s financial statements.  Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Company’s assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company’s and Royal Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.  Under the informal agreement referenced in “Note 2 – Regulatory Matters and Significant Risks And Uncertainties” to the Consolidated Financial Statements, Royal Bank is required to maintain a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of 8% and a Total risk-based capital ratio of 12%.  As of March 31, 2014, the Company and Royal Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject and Royal Bank met the criteria for a well-capitalized institution.
	In connection with a prior bank regulatory examination, the FDIC concluded, based upon its interpretation of the Call Report instructions and under RAP, that income from Royal Bank’s tax lien business should be recognized on a cash basis, not an accrual basis.  Royal Bank’s current accrual method is in accordance with U.S. GAAP.  Royal Bank disagrees with the FDIC’s conclusion and filed the Call Report for March 31, 2014 and the previous 14 quarters in accordance with U.S. GAAP.  The change in the method of revenue recognition for the tax lien business for regulatory accounting purposes affects Royal Bank’s and the Company’s capital ratios as shown below.  The resolution of this matter will be decided by additional joint regulatory agency guidance which includes the Federal Reserve Bank, the FDIC, and the OCC.
	The table below sets forth Royal Bank’s capital ratios under RAP based on the FDIC’s interpretation of the Call Report instructions:

	Note 13.	Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share
	The Company follows the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share” (“ASC Topic 260”).  Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period.  The Company has two classes of common stock currently outstanding. The classes are A and B, of which one share of Class B is convertible into 1.15 shares of Class A.  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 using the treasury stock method. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, 201,914 and 248,132 options to purchase shares of common stock, respectively, were anti-dilutive in the computation of diluted EPS, as exercise price exceeded average market price in each of those periods.  Additionally 30,407 warrants were also anti-dilutive.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments [Abstract]	'
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	'
	Note 15.	Fair Value of Financial Instruments
	Under FASB ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurements” (“ASC Topic 820”), fair values are based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When available, management uses quoted market prices to determine fair value.  If quoted prices are not available, fair value is based upon valuation techniques such as matrix pricing or other models that use, where possible, current market-based or independently sourced market parameters, such as interest rates. If observable market-based inputs are not available, the Company uses unobservable inputs to determine appropriate valuation adjustments using discounted cash flow methodologies.
	Management uses its best judgment in estimating the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments; however, there are inherent weaknesses in any estimation technique.  Therefore, for substantially all financial instruments, the fair value estimates herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could have realized in a sales transaction on the dates indicated.  The estimated fair value amounts have been measured as of their respective period end and have not been re-evaluated or updated for purposes of these financial statements subsequent to those respective dates.  As such, the estimated fair values of these financial instruments subsequent to the respective reporting dates may be different than the amounts reported at each period-end.
	ASC Topic 820 provides guidance for estimating fair value when the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability has significantly declined and for identifying circumstances when a transaction is not orderly.  ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods used to measure fair value.  The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).  The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC Topic 820 are as follows:
		Level 1:	Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
		Level 2:	Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.  Level 2 includes debt securities with quoted prices that are traded less frequently then exchange-traded instruments. Valuation techniques include matrix pricing which is a mathematical technique used widely in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted market prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted prices.
		Level 3:	Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported with little or no market activity).
	A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.  The Company did not have transfers of financial instruments within the fair value hierarchy during the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.
	Items Measured on a Recurring Basis
	The Company’s available for sale investment securities are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis.
	Fair value for Level 1 securities are determined by obtaining quoted market prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges.  Level 1 securities include common stocks.
	Level 2 securities include obligations of U.S. government-sponsored agencies and debt securities with quoted prices, which are traded less frequently than exchange-traded instruments, whose value is determined using matrix pricing with inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.  The prices were obtained from third party vendors.  This category generally includes the Company’s mortgage-backed securities and CMOs issued by U.S. government and government-sponsored agencies, non-agency CMOs, and corporate and municipal bonds.
	Level 3 securities include investments in seven private equity funds which are predominantly invested in real estate.  The value of the private equity funds are derived from the funds’ financials and K-1 filings.  The Company also reviews the funds’ asset values and its near-term projections.
	For financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the fair value measurements by level within the fair value hierarchy used at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 are as follows:

	Items Measured on a Nonrecurring Basis
	Non-accrual loans and TDRs are evaluated for impairment on an individual basis under FASB ASC Topic 310 “Receivables”.  The impairment analysis includes current collateral values, known relevant factors that may affect loan collectability, and risks inherent in different kinds of lending.  When the collateral value or discounted cash flows less costs to sell is less than the carrying value of the loan a specific reserve (valuation allowance) is established. Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. OREO is carried at the lower of cost or fair value.  Fair value is based upon independent market prices, appraised values of the collateral or management’s estimation of the value of the real estate.  Additionally, for collateral acquired from tax liens, fair value may be established using brokers opinions due to their lower carrying value.  These assets are included as Level 3 fair values, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements.
For financial assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, the fair value measurements by level within the fair value hierarchy used at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 are as follows:

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values of the Company’s financial instruments at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The following information should not be interpreted as an estimate of the fair value of the entire Company since a fair value calculation is only provided for a limited portion of the Company’s assets and liabilities.  Due to a wide range of valuation techniques and the degree of subjectivity used in making the estimates, comparisons between the Company’s disclosures and those of other companies may not be meaningful.  The methodologies for estimating the fair value of financial instruments that are measured on a recurring or nonrecurring basis are discussed above.
Cash and cash equivalents (carried at cost):
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash and short-term instruments approximate those assets’ fair values.
Securities:
Management uses quoted market prices to determine fair value of securities (level 1).  If quoted prices are not available, fair value is based upon valuation techniques such as matrix pricing or other models that use, where possible, current market-based or independently sourced market parameters, such as interest rates (level 2). If observable market-based inputs are not available, the Company uses unobservable inputs to determine appropriate valuation adjustments by reviewing the private equities funds’ financials and K-1 filings (level 3).
Other Investment (carried at cost):
This investment includes the Solomon Hess SBA Loan Fund, which the Company invested in to partially satisfy its community reinvestment requirement.  Shares in this fund are not publicly traded and therefore have no readily determinable fair market value.  An investor can have their investment in the Fund redeemed for the balance of their capital account at any quarter end with 60 days notice to the Fund.  The investment in this Fund is recorded at cost.  The Company does not record this investment at fair value on a recurring basis, as this investment’s carrying amount approximates fair value.
Restricted investment in bank stock (carried at cost):
The carrying amount of restricted investment in bank stock approximates fair value, and considers the limited marketability of such securities.
Loans held for sale (carried at lower of cost or fair value):
The fair values of loans held for sale are based upon appraised values of the collateral less costs to sell, management’s estimation of the value of the collateral or expected net sales proceeds. These assets are included as Level 3 fair values, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements.
Loans receivable (carried at cost):
The fair values of loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using market rates at the balance sheet date that reflect the credit and interest rate-risk inherent in the loans.  Projected future cash flows are calculated based upon contractual maturity or call dates, projected repayments and prepayments of principal.   Generally, for variable rate loans that re-price frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values.
Impaired loans (generally carried at fair value):
Impaired loans are accounted for under ASC Topic 310. Impaired loans are those in which the Company has measured impairment generally based on the fair value of the loan’s collateral.  Fair value is generally determined based upon independent third-party appraisals of the properties, or discounted cash flows based on the expected proceeds.  These assets are included as Level 3 fair values, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements.
Accrued interest receivable and payable (carried at cost):
The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable and accrued interest payable approximates its fair value.
Deposit liabilities (carried at cost):
The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (e.g., interest and noninterest checking, passbook savings and money market accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts).  Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered in the market on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits.
Short-term borrowings (carried at cost):
The carrying amounts of short-term borrowings approximate their fair values.
Long-term debt (carried at cost):
Fair values of FHLB advances and other long-term borrowings are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, based on quoted prices for new FHLB advances with similar credit risk characteristics, terms and remaining maturity.  These prices obtained from this active market represent a market value that is deemed to represent the transfer price if the liability were assumed by a third party.
Subordinated debt (carried at cost):
Fair values of junior subordinated debt are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, based on market rates currently offered on such debt with similar credit risk characteristics, terms and remaining maturity.
Off-balance sheet financial instruments (disclosed at cost):
Fair values for the Company’s off-balance sheet financial instruments (lending commitments and letters of credit) are based on fees currently charged in the market to enter into similar agreements, taking into account, the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing.  They are not shown in the table because the amounts are immaterial.
The tables below indicate the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

Limitations
The fair value estimates are made at a discrete point in time based on relevant market information and information about the financial instruments.  Fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors.
These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision.  Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.  Further, the foregoing estimates may not reflect the actual amount that could be realized if all or substantially all of the financial instruments were offered for sale.  This is due to the fact that no market exists for a sizable portion of the loan, deposit and off balance sheet instruments.
In addition, the fair value estimates are based on existing on-and-off balance sheet financial instruments without attempting to value anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments.  Other significant assets that are not considered financial assets include premises and equipment.  In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in any of the estimates.
Finally, reasonable comparability between financial institutions may not be likely due to the wide range of permitted valuation techniques and numerous estimates which must be made given the absence of active secondary markets for many of the financial instruments.  This lack of uniform valuation methodologies introduces a greater degree of subjectivity to these estimated fair values.

Segment Information [Abstract]	'
Segment Information	'
	Note 16.	Segment Information
	FASB ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting” (“ASC Topic 280”) 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 makers in deciding how to allocate and assess resources and performance.  The Company’s chief operating decision makers are the CEO and the Chief Administrative and Risk Officer (“CARO”). The Company has identified its reportable operating segments as “Community Banking” and “Tax Liens”.
	Community banking
	The Company’s community banking segment which includes Royal Bank consists of commercial and retail banking and leasing. 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 cash needed to make loans with retail deposits and other borrowings and to manage interest rate and credit risk.
	Tax liens
	At March 31, 2014, Royal Bank’s tax liens segment includes its 80% and 100% ownership interest in CSC and RTL, respectively.  For the three months ended March 31, 2013, Royal Bank’s ownership interest in CSC and RTL was 60%.  The Company’s tax liens segment consisted of purchasing delinquent tax certificates from local municipalities at auction and then processing those liens to either encourage the property holder to pay off the lien, or to foreclose and sell the property.  The tax liens segment earns income based on interest rates (determined at auction) and penalties assigned by the municipality along with gains on sale of foreclosed properties. CSC is liquidating its assets under an orderly, long term plan.  RTL ceased acquiring tax certificates at public auctions in 2010.
	The following table presents selected financial information for reportable business segments for the three month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

Federal Home Loan Bank Stock [Abstract]	'
Federal Home Loan Bank Stock	'
	Note 17.	Federal Home Loan Bank Stock
	As a member of the FHLB, the Company is required to purchase and hold stock in the FHLB to satisfy membership and borrowing requirements.  The stock can only be sold to the FHLB or to another member institution, and all sales of FHLB stock must be at par. As a result of these restrictions, there is no active market for the FHLB stock. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, FHLB stock totaled $4.0 million and $4.2 million, respectively.
	FHLB stock is held as a long-term investment and its value is determined based on the ultimate recoverability of the par value. The Company evaluates impairment quarterly. The decision of whether impairment exists is a matter of judgment that reflects management’s view of the FHLB’s long-term performance, which includes factors such as the following: (1) its operating performance, (2) the severity and duration of declines in the fair value of its net assets related to its capital stock amount, (3) its liquidity position, and (4) the impact of legislative and regulatory changes on the FHLB.  Based on the capital adequacy and the liquidity position of the FHLB, management believes that the par value of its investment in FHLB stock will be recovered.  Accordingly, there is no other-than-temporary impairment related to the carrying amount of the Company’s FHLB stock as of March 31, 2014.

These consolidated financial statements reflect the historical information of the Company.  All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
	The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information. Applications of the principles in the Company’s preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes.  These estimates and assumptions are based on information available as of the date of the consolidated financial statements; therefore, actual results could differ from those estimates. The interim financial information included herein is unaudited; however, such information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of the results for the interim periods.  These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.  The results of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Accounting Policies Recently Adopted and Pending Accounting Pronouncements	'
	Accounting Policies Recently Adopted and Pending Accounting Pronouncements
	In February 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-04, Liabilities (Topic 405): Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date (“ASU 2013-04”).  ASU 2013-04 provides guidance for the recognition, measurement and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements.  ASU 2013-04 requires an entity to measure obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of this guidance is fixed at the reporting date, as the sum of the following:
	a. The amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors
	b. Any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors.
	ASU 2013-04 also requires an entity to disclose the nature and amount of the obligation as well as other information about those obligations.  For public companies ASU 2013-04 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of ASU 2013-04 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
	In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740):  Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (“ASU 2013-11”).  Currently there is diversity in practice in the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits.  The aim of ASU 2013-11 is to provide guidance on the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, similar tax loss, or tax credit carryforward exists. An unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, except for circumstances outlined in ASU 2013-11.  For public companies ASU 2013-11 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of ASU 2013-04 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
	In January 2014, FASB issued ASU No. 2014-04 Receivables (Topic 310): Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40) Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure (“ASU 2014-04”).  ASC Topic 310 includes guidance that states that a creditor should reclassify a collateralized mortgage loan such that the loan should be derecognized and the collateral asset recognized when it determines that there has been in substance a repossession or foreclosure by the creditor, that is, the creditor receives physical possession of the debtor’s assets regardless of whether formal foreclosure proceedings take place. However, the terms in substance a repossession or foreclosure and physical possession are not defined in the accounting literature and there is diversity about when a creditor should derecognize the loan receivable and recognize the real estate property. That diversity has been highlighted by recent extended foreclosure timelines and processes related to residential real estate properties.
	The objectives in ASU 2014-04 are intended to reduce diversity in practice by clarifying when an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, that is, when a creditor should be considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan such that the loan should be derecognized and the real estate property recognized. Holding foreclosed real estate property presents different operational and economic risk to creditors compared with holding an impaired loan. Therefore, consistency in the timing of loan derecognition and presentation of foreclosed real estate properties is of qualitative significance to users of the creditor’s financial statements. Additionally, the disclosure of the amount of foreclosed residential real estate properties and of the recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans secured by residential real estate properties that are in the process of foreclosure is expected to provide decision-useful information to many users of the creditor’s financial statements. The amendments in ASU 2014-04 are effective for public business entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014. An entity can elect to adopt the amendments in ASU 2014-04 using either a modified retrospective transition method or a prospective transition method.  Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2014-04 is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
	In April 2014, FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08 Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360) - Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity (“ASU 2014-08”).  The amendments in ASU 2014-08 change the criteria for reporting discontinued operations for all public and nonpublic entities. Currently, a component of an entity that is a reportable segment, an operating segment, a reporting unit, a subsidiary, or an asset group is eligible for discontinued operations presentation.  Once the amendments of ASU 2014-08 take effect, only those disposals of components of an entity that represent a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results will be reported as discontinued operations in the financial statements.   The amendments also require new disclosures about discontinued operations and disposals of components of an entity that do not qualify for discontinued operations reporting. The amendments in ASU 2014-08 are effective for public business entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014.  Early adoption is permitted but only for disposals (or classifications as held for sale) that have not been reported in financial statements previously issued or available for issuance. The adoption of ASU 2014-08 is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
