Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Nature of Operations Royal Bancshares of Pennsylvania, Inc. (“Royal Bancshares”, the “Company”, “We” or “Our”), through its wholly-owned subsidiary Royal Bank America (“Royal Bank”) offers a full range of banking services to individual and corporate customers primarily located in the Mid-Atlantic states. 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 brokerage firms 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. On January 30, 2017, the Company and Bryn Mawr Bank Corporation (“Bryn Mawr”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”). The Merger Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, the Company will merge with and into Bryn Mawr, with Bryn Mawr as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”). Immediately following the Merger, Royal Bank will merge with the Bryn Mawr Trust Company, the wholly owned subsidiary of Bryn Mawr. Upon completion of the Merger, holders of Class A common stock of the Company will receive 0.1025 shares of Bryn Mawr common stock, par value of $1.00 per share (the “Bryn Mawr common stock”) for each share of Class A common stock they hold, and holders of Class B common stock of the Company will receive 0.1179 shares of Bryn Mawr common stock for each share of Class B common stock they hold. The Merger, which is subject to a number of closing conditions including receipt of required regulatory approvals and approval by the Company’s shareholders, is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2017. Basis of Financial Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Royal Bancshares of Pennsylvania, Inc. 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, 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. 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 in consolidation. 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 our 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, 2016. The results of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Reclassifications Certain items in the 2016 consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation format. There was no effect on net income for the periods presented herein as a result of the reclassification. Accounting Policies Recently Adopted and Pending Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”), which establishes a comprehensive revenue recognition standard for virtually all industries under U.S. GAAP, including those that previously followed industry-specific guidance such as the real estate, construction and software industries. The revenue standard’s core principle is built on the contract between a vendor and a customer for the provision of goods and services. It attempts to depict the exchange of rights and obligations between the parties in the pattern of revenue recognition based on the consideration to which the vendor is entitled. To accomplish this objective, the standard requires five basic steps: i) identify the contract with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The ASU is effective for public entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods therein. Three basic transition methods are available – full retrospective, retrospective with certain practical expedients, and a cumulative effect approach. Under the third alternative, an entity would apply the new revenue standard only to contracts that are incomplete under legacy U.S. GAAP at the date of initial application (e.g. January 1, 2017) and recognize the cumulative effect of the new standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. That is, prior years would not be restated and additional disclosures would be required to enable users of the financial statements to understand the impact of adopting the new standard in the current year compared to prior years that are presented under legacy U.S. GAAP. Early adoption is prohibited under U.S. GAAP. In August 2015, the FASB Issued ASU 2015-14 which deferred the effective date to December 15, 2017 and the initial application date (e.g. January 1, 2018.) The majority of our revenue is comprised of net interest income on financial assets and liabilities, which is explicitly excluded from the scope of ASU 2014-09. We continue to analyze this update and do not believe that ASU 2014-09 will have a material effect on our financial statements. In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, “Financial Instruments – Overall (Topic 825-10): “Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” ASU 2016-01 amends the guidance on the classification and measurement of financial instruments. Some of the amendments in ASU 2016-01 include the following: 1) requires equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income; 2) simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment; 3) requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes; and 4) requires an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value; among others. ASU 2016-01 also clarifies that an entity should assess the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to unrealized losses of investments in debt instruments recognized in other comprehensive income in combination with the entity’s other deferred tax assets. Prior to this guidance, the alternative approach used in practice evaluated the need for a valuation allowance for a deferred tax asset related to unrealized losses on debt instruments recognized in other comprehensive income separately from other deferred tax assets. This alternative approach will no longer be acceptable. For public business entities, the amendments of ASU 2016-01 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. As of December 31, 2016 we do not hold a material amount of equity investments for which fair value is accounted through other comprehensive income. Consequently, we continue to analyze ASU 2016-01 and do not believe that it will have a material effect on our financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, “Leases” (“ASU 2016-02”). From the lessee's perspective, the new standard establishes a right-of-use (ROU) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement for a lessees. From the lessor's perspective, the new standard requires a lessor to classify leases as either sales-type, finance or operating. A lease will be treated as a sale if it transfers all of the risks and rewards, as well as control of the underlying asset, to the lessee. If risks and rewards are conveyed without the transfer of control, the lease is treated as a financing lease. If the lessor doesn’t convey risks and rewards or control, an operating lease results. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessors for sales-type, direct financing, and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. Our leases are operating leases and ASU 2016-02 will require us to add them to our balance sheet. Our operating leases are predominantly related to real estate. We are currently evaluating other impacts of the pending adoption of the new standard on our consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-09, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting” (“ASU 2016-09”). FASB issued ASU 2016-09 as part of its initiative to reduce complexity in accounting standards. The areas for simplification in this ASU 2016-09 involve several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. Some of the areas for simplification apply only to nonpublic entities. For public business entities, the amendments in ASU 2016-09 were effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. We adopted ASU 2016-09 in the first quarter of 2017. ASU 2016-09 did not have a material effect on our financial statements. In June 2016, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326) Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13”). The main objective of ASU 2016-13 is to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. To achieve this objective, the amendments in ASU 2016-13 replace the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The amendments affect entities holding financial assets and net investment in leases that are not accounted for at fair value through net income. The amendments affect loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases, off-balance-sheet credit exposures, reinsurance receivables, and any other financial assets not excluded from the scope that have the contractual right to receive cash. The amendments in ASU 2016-13 affect an entity to varying degrees depending on the credit quality of the assets held by the entity, their duration, and how the entity applies current GAAP. There is diversity in practice in applying the incurred loss methodology, which means that before transition some entities may be more aligned, under current GAAP, than others to the new measure of expected credit losses. The amendments in ASU 2016-13 require a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset(s) to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. The income statement reflects the measurement of credit losses for newly recognized financial assets, as well as the expected increases or decreases of expected credit losses that have taken place during the period. The measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectibility of the reported amount. An entity must use judgment in determining the relevant information and estimation methods that are appropriate in its circumstances. The allowance for credit losses for purchased financial assets with a more-than insignificant amount of credit deterioration since origination (PCD assets) that are measured at amortized cost basis is determined in a similar manner to other financial assets measured at amortized cost basis; however, the initial allowance for credit losses is added to the purchase price rather than being reported as a credit loss expense. Only subsequent changes in the allowance for credit losses are recorded as a credit loss expense for these assets. Interest income for PCD assets should be recognized based on the effective interest rate, excluding the discount embedded in the purchase price that is attributable to the acquirer’s assessment of credit losses at acquisition. Credit losses relating to available-for-sale debt securities should be recorded through an allowance for credit losses. Available-for-sale accounting recognizes that value may be realized either through collection of contractual cash flows or through sale of the security. Therefore, the amendments limit the amount of the allowance for credit losses to the amount by which fair value is below amortized cost because the classification as available for sale is premised on an investment strategy that recognizes that the investment could be sold at fair value, if cash collection would result in the realization of an amount less than fair value. The amendments in ASU 2016-13 require that credit losses be presented as an allowance rather than as a writedown. This approach is an improvement to current GAAP because an entity will be able to record reversals of credit losses (in situations in which the estimate of credit losses declines) in current period net income, which in turn should align the income statement recognition of credit losses with the reporting period in which changes occur. Current GAAP prohibits reflecting those improvements in current period earnings. For public business entities that are SEC filers, the amendments in ASU 2016-13 are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. All entities may adopt the amendments in ASU 2016-13 earlier as of the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. An entity will apply the amendments in ASU 2016-13 through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective (that is, modified-retrospective approach). A prospective transition approach is required for debt securities for which an other-than-temporary impairment had been recognized before the effective date. The effect of a prospective transition approach is to maintain the same amortized cost basis before and after the effective date of ASU 2016-13. Amounts previously recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income as of the date of adoption that relate to improvements in cash flows expected to be collected should continue to be accreted into income over the remaining life of the asset. Recoveries of amounts previously written off relating to improvements in cash flows after the date of adoption should be recorded in earnings when received. We are currently evaluating the impact of the amendments in ASU 2016-13 on our consolidated financial statements. In August 2016, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-15, “ Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments” (“ASU 2016-15”). Stakeholders indicated that there is diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows under Topic 230, Statement of Cash Flows, and other Topics. T he following eight specific cash flow issues are addressed in ASU 2016-15: Debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs; settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments or other debt instruments with coupon interest rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing; contingent consideration payments made after a business combination; proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims; proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies (“COLI”s) (including bank-owned life insurance policies (“BOLI”s)); distributions received from equity method investees; beneficial interests in securitization transactions; and separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. For public business entities, the amendments in this ASU 2016-15 are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments in ASU 2016-15 should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. If it is impracticable to apply the amendments retrospectively for some of the issues, the amendments for those issues would be applied prospectively as of the earliest date practicable. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. An entity that elects early adoption must adopt all of the amendments in the same period. We intend to adopt ASU 2016-15 during the first quarter of 2018 and it will have no effect on our results of operations because it only impacts the presentation of certain information on the statement of cash flows. In December 2016, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-19, “Technical Corrections and Improvements” (“ASU 2016-19”). The amendments in ASU 2016-19 cover a wide range of Topics in the Accounting Standards Codification. The amendments generally fall into one of four categories: (1) amendments related to differences between original guidance and the codification, (2) guidance clarification and reference corrections, (3) simplification, and (4) minor improvements. Most of the amendments in ASU 2016-19 do not require transition guidance and were effective upon issuance. The amendments that require transition guidance are not applicable to the Company. The amendments that require transition guidance are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016. FASB does not expect the changes to affect current accounting practice or result in any significant costs. The adoption of ASU 2016-19 effective January 1, 2017, did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In February 2017, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-07, “ Compensation—Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost” (“ASU 2017-07”). To improve the consistency, transparency, and usefulness of financial information for users, the amendments in ASU 2017-07 require that an employer disaggregate the service cost component from the other components of net benefit cost and report the service cost component in the same line item or items as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. It also requires the other components of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of income from operations, if one is presented. The amendments in ASU 2017-07 are effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual period for which financial statements (interim or annual) have not been issued or made available for issuance. The amendments in ASU 2017-07 should be applied retrospectively for the presentation of the service cost component and the other components of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost in the income statement and prospectively, on and after the effective date, for the capitalization of the service cost component of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit in assets. We intend to adopt ASU 2017-07 during the first quarter of 2018 and it will have no effect on our results of operations because it only impacts the presentation of certain information on the statements of income. In March 2017, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-08, “Receivables —Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities” (“ASU 2017-08”). ASU 2017-08 amends guidance on the amortization period of premiums on certain purchased callable debt securities. Specifically, the amendments shorten the amortization period of premiums on certain purchased callable debt securities to the earliest call date. The amendments affect all entities that hold investments in callable debt securities that have an amortized cost basis in excess of the amount that is repayable by the issuer at the earliest call date. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. An entity should apply the amendments in this Update on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. Additionally, in the period of adoption, an entity should provide disclosures about a change in accounting principle. The effect of ASU 2017-08 would be lower interest income and a corresponding lower yield as the amortization period would be shortened. As of March 31, 2017 we do not hold any callable debt securities that were purchased at a premium. We intend to adopt ASU 2017-08 during the first quarter of 2019.

We assess whether OTTI is present when the fair value of a security is less than its amortized cost. 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. There were no credit-related impairment losses on debt securities held at March 31, 2017 and March 31, 2016 for which a portion of OTTI was recognized in other comprehensive income. 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. Agency”): As of March 31, 2017, we had two U.S. Agency securities with a fair value of $2.1 million and a gross unrealized loss of $26 thousand. The bonds have been in an unrealized loss position for less than twelve months at March 31, 2017. Management believes that the unrealized loss on these debt securities are a function of changes in investment spreads. Management expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of these securities. We do not intend to sell these securities before recovery of their cost basis and have not determined that it is not more likely than not that it will 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, 2017. U.S. government issued or sponsored collateralized mortgage obligations (“Agency CMOs”): As of March 31, 2017, we had 35 Agency CMOs with a fair value of $86.6 million and gross unrealized losses of $1.4 million. Four of the Agency CMOs have been in an unrealized loss position for twelve months or longer and the remaining 31 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 as a result of changes in credit quality. Management expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of these securities. We do not intend to sell these securities before recovery of their cost basis and have not determined that it is not more likely than not that we will 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, 2017. Non-agency collateralized mortgage obligations (“Non-agency CMOs”): As of March 31, 2017, we had three non-agency CMOs with a fair value of $3.7 million and gross unrealized losses of $71 thousand. The bonds have been in an unrealized loss position for less than twelve months. We do not intend to sell these securities before recovery of their cost basis, and it is not more likely than not we will be required to sell this security before recovery of its cost basis. Therefore, management has determined that this security is not other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2017. Municipal bonds: As of March 31, 2017 we had six municipal bonds with a fair value $4.0 million and gross unrealized losses of $64 thousand. Two of the municipal bonds have been in an unrealized loss position for less than twelve months and four bonds have been in an unrealized loss position for twelve months or longer at March 31, 2017. Because we do not intend to sell the bonds and it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell the bonds before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be maturity, we do not consider the bonds to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2017. We 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 [Abstract]
Loans and Leases	Note 3. Loans and Leases At March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company’s LHFS were $205 thousand and $0, respectively. During the first quarter of 2017, we transferred one non-accrual loan to loans held for sale. As a result of this transfer we recorded a charge-off to the allowance of $20 thousand. Major classifications of LHFI are as follows: March 31, December 31, (In thousands) 2017 2016 Commercial real estate $ 266,421 $ 261,561 Construction and land development 88,561 83,369 Commercial and industrial 115,131 108,146 Multi-family 27,069 23,389 Residential real estate 56,790 56,899 Leases 58,733 61,838 Tax certificates 3,114 3,705 Consumer 2,965 3,102 Total loans, net of unearned income $ 618,784 $ 602,009 We use 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 in the calculation of the allowance for loan and lease losses. · Pass: includes credits that demonstrate a low probability of default; · Pass-watch: a classification which includes currently performing credits that are beginning to demonstrate above average risk through declining earnings, strained cash flows, increased leverage and/or weakening market fundamentals. This class may also include new loan originations which warrant approval but may contain certain risks that require closer than usual monitoring and supervision, such as construction loans; · Special mention: includes credits that have potential weaknesses that if left uncorrected could weaken the credit or result in inadequate protection of our 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 we 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 are assigned an initial loan risk rating by the Underwriting and Credit Administration Officer (“UCAO”). The initial loan risk rating is approved by another member of executive management or by the appropriate loan committee approving the loan request. 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 LHFI portfolio classification at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

If interest had accrued on non-accrual loans held for investment, such income would have been approximately $118 thousand and $158 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Impaired Loans Total cash collected on all impaired loans during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 was $133 thousand and $257 thousand respectively, of which $109 thousand and $257 thousand was credited to the principal balance outstanding on such loans, respectively. Interest income recognized on a cash basis on impaired loans and leases was $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016. Troubled Debt Restructurings (“TDRs”) The following table details our TDRs that are on an accrual status and non-accrual status at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

We did not classify any loan modifications as TDRs during the first quarters of 2017 and 2016. We may obtain physical possession of real estate collateralizing residential mortgage loans or home equity loans through or in lieu of, foreclosure. As of March 31, 2017, we have no foreclosed residential real estate properties as a result of physical possession. In addition, as of March 31, 2017, we had residential mortgage loans with a carrying value of $88 thousand collateralized by residential real estate property for which formal foreclosure proceedings were in process.

Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank As of March 31, 2017, Royal Bank had $248.1 million of available borrowing capacity at the FHLB, which is based on qualifying collateral. Total advances from the FHLB were $56.0 million at March 31, 2017 and $69.0 million at December 31, 2016. The advances and the line of credit are collateralized by FHLB stock, government agency securities mortgage-backed securities, and a blanket lien on certain real estate loans. As of March 31, 2017, investment securities with a market value of $19.0 million were pledged as collateral to the FHLB for the borrowings. Presented below are the Company’s FHLB borrowings allocated by the year in which they mature with their corresponding weighted average rates: As of As of March 31, 2017 December 31, 2016 (Dollars in thousands) Amount Rate Amount Rate Advances maturing in 2017 $ 31,000 1.24 % $ 44,000 1.19 % 2018 10,000 2.01 % 10,000 2.01 % 2021 15,000 1.40 % 15,000 1.40 % Total FHLB borrowings $ 56,000 $ 69,000 2.

Royal Bank has an additional $20.0 million in lines of credit with two local financial institutions, of which $0 was outstanding at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. 3. Subordinated debentures We have outstanding $25.8 million of Trust Preferred Securities issued through two Delaware trust affiliates, Royal Bancshares Capital Trust I (“Trust I”) and Royal Bancshares Capital Trust II (“Trust II”) (collectively, the “Trusts”). We issued an aggregate principal amount of $12.9 million of floating rate junior subordinated debt securities to Trust I and an aggregate principal amount of $12.9 million of fixed/floating rate junior subordinated debt securities to Trust II.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITY	Note 8. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activity In 2014 we entered into a forward-starting interest rate swap agreement to hedge the risk of variability in cash flows attributable to changes in the 3 month LIBOR rate. This particular hedging objective was to reduce the interest rate risk associated with our forecasted issuances of 3 month fixed rate debt arising from a rollover strategy of an FHLB advance, which matured in June 2016. We have and will continue to rollover the FHLB advance through the swap expiration of June 2021. This derivative was used as part of the asset/liability management process, is linked to a specific liability and has a high correlation between the contract and the underlying item being hedged, both at inception and throughout the hedge period. The derivative was designated as a cash flow hedge with the change in fair value recorded as an adjustment through other comprehensive income (loss) until the underlying forecasted transactions occur, at which time the deferred gains and losses are recognized in earnings. As of March 31, 2017, an investment security with a fair value of $650 thousand was pledged as collateral to the counterparty of this transaction. The effects of the derivative instrument on the Consolidated Financial Statements at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 and for the three months ended March 31, 2017 were as follows: As of March 31, 2017 Notional Contract Balance Sheet Expiration (In thousands) Amount Fair Value Location Date Derivatives designated as hedging instruments Interest rate swaps: Effective June 24, 2016 $ 15,000 $ (426) Other liabilities June 24, 2021 Total: $ 15,000 $ (426) As of December 31, 2016 Notional Contract Balance Sheet Expiration (In thousands) Amount Fair Value Location Date Derivatives designated as hedging instruments Interest rate swaps: Effective June 24, 2016 $ 15,000 $ (494) Other liabilities June 24, 2021 Total: $ 15,000 $ (494) For the three months ended March 31, 2017 Amount of Gain Location of Loss Amount of Loss Recognized Recognized Recognized in OCI in Income in Income on Derivatives on Derivatives on Derivatives (In thousands) (Effective Portion) (Ineffective Portion) (Ineffective Portion) Derivatives designated as hedging instruments Interest rate swaps: Effective June 24, 2016 $ 45 Not Applicable $ — Total: $ 45 $ — For the year ended December 31, 2016 Amount of Gain Location of Loss Amount of Loss Recognized Recognized Recognized in OCI in Income in Income on Derivatives on Derivatives on Derivatives (In thousands) (Effective Portion) (Ineffective Portion) (Ineffective Portion) Derivatives designated as hedging instruments Interest rate swaps: Effective June 24, 2016 $ 40 Not Applicable $ — Total: $ 40 $ — For the three months ended March 31, 2016 Amount of Loss Location of Loss Amount of Loss Recognized Recognized Recognized in OCI in Income in Income on Derivatives on Derivatives on Derivatives (In thousands) (Effective Portion) (Ineffective Portion) (Ineffective Portion) Derivatives designated as hedging instruments Interest rate swaps: Effective June 24, 2016 $ (322) Not Applicable $ — Total: $ (322) $ —

Commitments, Contingencies, and Concentrations [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Text Block]	Note 9. Commitments, Contingencies, and Concentrations We are a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of our 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 we have in particular classes of financial instruments. Our 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. We use the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as we do for on-balance-sheet instruments. The contract amounts are as follows: March 31, December 31, (In thousands) 2017 2016 Financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk: Open-end lines of credit $ 85,443 $ 74,858 Commitments to extend credit 13,886 43,344 Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees written 37 37 Legal Proceedings From time to time, we are a party to routine legal proceedings within the normal course of business. Such routine legal proceedings in the aggregate are believed by management to be immaterial to our financial condition or results of operations. On January 30, 2017, the Company and Bryn Mawr Bank Corporation, (“BMBC”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) pursuant to which, upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, the Company will merge with and into BMBC, with BMBC being the surviving corporation (the “Merger”). On April 11, 2017, a purported shareholder filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court, Eastern District of Pennsylvania, against members of the Company’ board of directors, BMBC and the Company. The lawsuit, which is captioned Parshall v. Royal Bancshares of Pennsylvania, Inc., et al., Case No. 2:17-cv-01641-PBT alleges class claims on behalf of all Company shareholders and based on allegations of material misstatements and omissions in this proxy statement/prospectus and violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The lawsuit seeks, among other remedies, to enjoin the Merger or, in the event the Merger is completed, rescission of the Merger or rescissory damages; to direct defendants to account for unspecified damages; and costs of the lawsuit, including attorneys’ and experts’ fees. As of the date of this filing, the Company cannot reasonably predict the outcome of the lawsuit or, in the event of an adverse outcome, the potential loss or range of possible loss relating to the lawsuit.

Shareholders' Equity [Abstract]
Shareholders' Equity	Note 10. Shareholders’ Equity 1. Common Stock Our Class A common stock trades on the NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol RBPAA. There is no market for our 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. Shareholders are 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. 2. 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.

Regulatory Capital Requirements

Regulatory Capital Requirements [Abstract]
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 our financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, we must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of our 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. In July 2013, the federal bank regulatory agencies adopted the final reforms on capital and liquidity generally referred to as “Basel III”, which were published by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision and the Financial Stability Board. The agencies view the new capital requirements as a better reflection of banking organizations’ risk profiles, thereby improving the overall resiliency of the banking system. The rules generally implement higher minimum capital requirements, add a new common equity tier 1 capital requirement or “CET1”, and establish criteria that instruments must meet to be considered common equity tier 1 capital, additional tier 1 capital, or tier 2 capital. Basel III also introduced a non-risk adjusted tier 1 leverage ratio of 3%, based on a measure of total exposure rather than total assets, and new liquidity requirements. Under the rules, in order to avoid limitations on capital distributions (including dividend payments and certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers), a banking organization must hold a capital conservation buffer comprised of CET1 above its minimum risk-based capital requirements in an amount greater than 2.5% of total risk-weighted assets. The new minimum capital requirements became effective on January 1, 2015. The capital conservation buffer requirements phase in over a three-year period beginning January 1, 2016. Effective January 1, 2019 the capital conservation buffer will effectively raise the minimum required common equity tier 1 capital ratio to 7.0%, the tier 1 capital ratio to 8.5%, and the total capital to 10.0%. Management believes that as of March 31, 2017, the Company and Royal Bank would meet all capital adequacy requirements under the Basel III rules on a fully phased in basis as if all such requirements were currently in effect. As of March 31, 2017, the Company and Royal Bank satisfied 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 regulatory accounting principles (“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, 2017 and the previous 26 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: At March 31, 2017 To be well capitalized For capital under prompt corrective Actual adequacy purposes action provision (Dollars in thousands) Amount Ratio Amount Ratio* Amount Ratio Total capital (to risk-weighted assets) $ 79,130 12.320 % $ 59,411 9.250 % $ 64,228 10.000 % Tier 1 capital (to risk-weighted assets) $ 70,998 11.054 % $ 46,566 7.250 % $ 51,383 8.000 % Tier 1 capital (to average assets, leverage) $ 70,998 8.619 % $ 32,950 4.000 % $ 41,188 5.000 % Common equity Tier 1 (to risk-weighted assets) $ 70,437 10.967 % $ 36,931 5.750 % $ 41,748 6.500 % *Ratios related to risk-weighted assets include the capital conservation buffer of 1.25%.

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. Net periodic defined benefit pension expense for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 included the following components: For the three months ended March 31, (In thousands) 2017 2016 Service cost $ 13 $ 12 Interest cost 138 142 Amortization of actuarial loss 50 43 Net periodic benefit cost $ 201 $ 197 We plan to fund a substantial portion of the pension plan obligations through existing Company owned life insurance policies. The cash surrender value for these policies was approximately $4.8 million and $4.7 million as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The accumulated benefit obligation was $15.2 million at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

Income (Loss) Per Common Share [Abstract]
Earnings per common share	Note 13. Earnings Per Common Share We follow 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. We have 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 if-converted method. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, 58,139 and 245,875 options to purchase shares of common stock, respectively, were anti-dilutive in the computation of diluted EPS, as the exercise price exceeded average market price in each of those periods. Additionally, warrants to purchase 1,368,040 shares of Class A common stock were also anti-dilutive. Basic and diluted EPS are calculated as follows: For the three months ended March 31, 2017 Income Average shares Per share (In thousands, except for per share data) (numerator) (denominator) Amount Basic EPS Income available to common shareholders $ 1,812 30,122 $ 0.06 Diluted EPS Income available to common shareholders $ 1,812 30,207 $ 0.06 For the three months ended March 31, 2016 Income Average shares Per share (In thousands, except for per share data) (numerator) (denominator) Amount Basic EPS Income available to common shareholders $ 1,855 30,061 $ 0.06 Diluted EPS Income available to common shareholders $ 1,855 30,108 $ 0.06

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 and Disclosures” (“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, we use unobservable inputs to determine appropriate valuation adjustments using discounted cash flow methodologies. Management uses its best judgment in estimating the fair value of our 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 we 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 from 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. We did not have transfers of financial instruments within the fair value hierarchy during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016. Items Measured on a Recurring Basis Our 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 our mortgage-backed securities and CMOs issued by U.S. government and government-sponsored agencies, non-agency CMOs, and corporate and municipal bonds. Additionally, Level 2 includes derivative instruments whose valuations are based on observable market data. Level 3 securities include investments in five 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. We also review the funds’ asset values and its near-term projections. For financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the fair value measurements by level within the fair value hierarchy used at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 are as follows: Fair Value Measurements Using: Quoted Prices in Active Significant Markets for Other Significant Identical Observable Unobservable As of March 31, 2017 Assets Inputs Inputs (In thousands) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Fair Value Assets: Investment securities available for sale U.S. government agencies $ — $ 2,100 $ — $ 2,100 Mortgage-backed securities-residential — 6,662 — 6,662 Collateralized mortgage obligations: Issued or guaranteed by U.S. government agencies — 138,979 — 138,979 Non-agency — 3,681 — 3,681 Corporate bonds — 1,726 — 1,726 Municipal bonds — 8,742 — 8,742 Other securities — — 1,821 1,821 Common stocks 26 — — 26 Total investment securities available for sale $ 26 $ 161,890 $ 1,821 $ 163,737 Liabilities: Derivative instruments Interest rate swaps $ — $ 426 $ — $ 426 Fair Value Measurements Using: Quoted Prices in Active Significant Markets for Other Significant Identical Observable Unobservable As of December 31, 2016 Assets Inputs Inputs (In thousands) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Fair Value Assets: Investment securities available for sale U.S. government agencies $ — $ 966 $ — $ 966 Mortgage-backed securities-residential — 7,038 — 7,038 Collateralized mortgage obligations: Issued or guaranteed by U.S. government agencies — 145,559 — 145,559 Non-agency — 4,035 — 4,035 Corporate bonds — 1,701 — 1,701 Municipal bonds — 8,708 — 8,708 Other securities — — 1,821 1,821 Common stocks 26 — — 26 Total investment securities available for sale $ 26 $ 168,007 $ 1,821 $ 169,854 Liabilities: Derivative instruments Interest rate swaps $ — $ 494 $ — $ 494 The following tables present additional information about assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and for which the Company has utilized Level 3 inputs to determine fair value for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016: (In thousands) Other securities Investment Securities Available for Sale 2017 2016 Beginning balance January 1, $ 1,821 $ 2,495 Total gains/(losses) - (realized/unrealized): Included in earnings-net gains on sale and OTTI — 301 Included in other comprehensive income — (130) Purchases — 73 Sales and calls — (308) Transfers in and/or out of Level 3 — — Ending balance March 31, $ 1,821 $ 2,431 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, 2017 and December 31, 2016 are as follows: Fair Value Measurements Using: Quoted Prices in Active Significant Markets for Other Significant Identical Observable Unobservable As of March 31, 2017 Assets Inputs Inputs (In thousands) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Fair Value Assets Impaired loans and leases $ — $ — $ 2,660 $ 2,660 Other real estate owned — — 909 909 Loans and leases held for sale — — 205 205 Fair Value Measurements Using: Quoted Prices in Active Significant Markets for Other Significant Identical Observable Unobservable As of December 31, 2016 Assets Inputs Inputs (In thousands) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Fair Value Assets Impaired loans and leases $ — $ — $ 6,102 $ 6,102 Other real estate owned — — 1,471 1,471 The following tables present additional quantitative information about assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and for which we have utilized Level 3 inputs to determine fair value at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016: Qualitative Information about Level 3 Fair Value Measurements As of March 31, 2017 Valuation Range (In thousands) Fair Value Techniques Unobservable Input (Weighted Average) Impaired loans and leases $ 2,660 Appraisal of Appraisal adjustments - -20.0% (-11.6%) collateral (1) Liquidation expenses - -7.9% (-3.8%) Other real estate owned 909 Appraisal of Appraisal adjustments - -45.5% (-22.1%) collateral (1) Liquidation expenses -5.0% (-5.0%) Loans and leases held for sale 205 Appraisal of Agreement of sale -4.9% (-4.9%) collateral (1) Qualitative Information about Level 3 Fair Value Measurements As of December 31, 2016 Valuation Range (In thousands) Fair Value Techniques Unobservable Input (Weighted Average) Impaired loans and leases $ 6,102 Appraisal of Appraisal adjustments - -27.4% (-12.3%) collateral (1) Liquidation expenses - -12.8% (-5.2%) Other real estate owned 1,471 Appraisal of Appraisal adjustments - -61.5% (-32.5%) collateral (1) Liquidation expenses - -5.6% (-5.6%) (1) Appraisals may be adjusted for qualitative factors such as interior condition of the property and liquidation expenses. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values of our financial instruments at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016. 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 our assets and liabilities. Due to a wide range of valuation techniques and the degree of subjectivity used in making the estimates, comparisons between our 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, we use 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 we invested in to partially satisfy Royal Bank’s community reinvestment requirement. Shares in this fund are not publicly traded and therefore have no readily determinable fair market value. An investor can have its investment in the Fund redeemed for the balance of its capital account at any quarter end with 60 days notice to the Fund. The investment in this Fund is recorded at cost. We do 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 we have 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. 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. Derivative instruments: We have contracted with a third party vendor to provide periodic valuations for our interest rate derivatives to determine the fair value of our interest rate swaps. The vendor utilizes standard valuation methodologies applicable to interest rate derivatives such as discounted cash flow analysis and extensions of the Black-Scholes model. Such valuations are based upon readily observable market data and are therefore considered Level 2 valuations by the Company. Off-balance sheet financial instruments (disclosed at cost): Fair values of our 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 our financial instruments at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

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

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. Our chief operating decision makers are the CEO and the CFO. We have identified our reportable operating segments as “Community Banking” and “Tax Liens”. Community banking Our community banking segment consists of commercial and retail banking and equipment leasing. The community banking business segment includes Royal Bank and Royal Bank Leasing and generates revenue from a variety of products and services provided by those entities. Royal Bank and Royal Bank Leasing have similar economic characteristics in that earnings are predominantly derived from net interest income. 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, 2017, Royal Bank’s tax liens segment includes its 80% and 100% ownership interest in CSC and RTL, respectively. Our 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 tables present selected financial information for reportable business segments for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 Community (In thousands) Banking Tax Liens Consolidated Total assets $ 829,143 $ 7,559 $ 836,702 Total deposits $ 644,425 $ — $ 644,425 Interest income $ 8,818 $ 140 $ 8,958 Interest expense 1,866 75 1,941 Net interest income $ 6,952 $ 65 $ 7,017 Provision (credit) for loan and lease losses 351 (54) 297 Total non-interest income 548 (37) 511 Total non-interest expense 5,493 (117) 5,376 Income tax expense — — — Net income $ 1,656 $ 199 $ 1,855 Noncontrolling interest $ 48 $ (5) $ 43 Net income attributable to Royal Bancshares $ 1,608 $ 204 $ 1,812 For the three months ended March 31, 2016 Community (In thousands) Banking Tax Liens Consolidated Total assets $ 784,797 $ 13,751 $ 798,548 Total deposits $ 589,331 $ — $ 589,331 Interest income $ 8,133 $ 81 $ 8,214 Interest expense 1,568 155 1,723 Net interest income (expense) $ 6,565 $ (74) $ 6,491 Provision (credit) for loan and lease losses 303 (91) 212 Total non-interest income 1,190 17 1,207 Total non-interest expense 4,839 382 5,221 Income tax expense — — — Net income (loss) $ 2,613 $ (348) $ 2,265 Noncontrolling interest $ 96 $ (20) $ 76 Net income (loss) attributable to Royal Bancshares $ 2,517 $ (328) $ 2,189 Interest income earned by the community banking segment related to the tax liens segment was approximately $75 thousand and $155 thousand for the three month periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Federal Home Loan Bank Stock [Abstract]
Federal Home Loan Bank Stock	Note 17. Federal Home Loan Bank Stock As a member of the FHLB, we are 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. At March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, FHLB stock totaled $3.1 million and $3.2 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. We evaluate 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 our FHLB stock as of March 31, 2017.

Nature of operations	Nature of Operations Royal Bancshares of Pennsylvania, Inc. (“Royal Bancshares”, the “Company”, “We” or “Our”), through its wholly-owned subsidiary Royal Bank America (“Royal Bank”) offers a full range of banking services to individual and corporate customers primarily located in the Mid-Atlantic states. 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 brokerage firms 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.
Basis of Financial Presentation	Basis of Financial Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Royal Bancshares of Pennsylvania, Inc. 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, 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. 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 in consolidation. 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 our 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, 2016. The results of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Reclassifications	Reclassifications Certain items in the 2016 consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation format. There was no effect on net income for the periods presented herein as a result of the reclassification.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Accounting Policies Recently Adopted and Pending Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”), which establishes a comprehensive revenue recognition standard for virtually all industries under U.S. GAAP, including those that previously followed industry-specific guidance such as the real estate, construction and software industries. The revenue standard’s core principle is built on the contract between a vendor and a customer for the provision of goods and services. It attempts to depict the exchange of rights and obligations between the parties in the pattern of revenue recognition based on the consideration to which the vendor is entitled. To accomplish this objective, the standard requires five basic steps: i) identify the contract with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The ASU is effective for public entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods therein. Three basic transition methods are available – full retrospective, retrospective with certain practical expedients, and a cumulative effect approach. Under the third alternative, an entity would apply the new revenue standard only to contracts that are incomplete under legacy U.S. GAAP at the date of initial application (e.g. January 1, 2017) and recognize the cumulative effect of the new standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. That is, prior years would not be restated and additional disclosures would be required to enable users of the financial statements to understand the impact of adopting the new standard in the current year compared to prior years that are presented under legacy U.S. GAAP. Early adoption is prohibited under U.S. GAAP. In August 2015, the FASB Issued ASU 2015-14 which deferred the effective date to December 15, 2017 and the initial application date (e.g. January 1, 2018.) The majority of our revenue is comprised of net interest income on financial assets and liabilities, which is explicitly excluded from the scope of ASU 2014-09. We continue to analyze this update and do not believe that ASU 2014-09 will have a material effect on our financial statements. In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, “Financial Instruments – Overall (Topic 825-10): “Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” ASU 2016-01 amends the guidance on the classification and measurement of financial instruments. Some of the amendments in ASU 2016-01 include the following: 1) requires equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income; 2) simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment; 3) requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes; and 4) requires an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value; among others. ASU 2016-01 also clarifies that an entity should assess the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to unrealized losses of investments in debt instruments recognized in other comprehensive income in combination with the entity’s other deferred tax assets. Prior to this guidance, the alternative approach used in practice evaluated the need for a valuation allowance for a deferred tax asset related to unrealized losses on debt instruments recognized in other comprehensive income separately from other deferred tax assets. This alternative approach will no longer be acceptable. For public business entities, the amendments of ASU 2016-01 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. As of December 31, 2016 we do not hold a material amount of equity investments for which fair value is accounted through other comprehensive income. Consequently, we continue to analyze ASU 2016-01 and do not believe that it will have a material effect on our financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, “Leases” (“ASU 2016-02”). From the lessee's perspective, the new standard establishes a right-of-use (ROU) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement for a lessees. From the lessor's perspective, the new standard requires a lessor to classify leases as either sales-type, finance or operating. A lease will be treated as a sale if it transfers all of the risks and rewards, as well as control of the underlying asset, to the lessee. If risks and rewards are conveyed without the transfer of control, the lease is treated as a financing lease. If the lessor doesn’t convey risks and rewards or control, an operating lease results. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessors for sales-type, direct financing, and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. Our leases are operating leases and ASU 2016-02 will require us to add them to our balance sheet. Our operating leases are predominantly related to real estate. We are currently evaluating other impacts of the pending adoption of the new standard on our consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-09, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting” (“ASU 2016-09”). FASB issued ASU 2016-09 as part of its initiative to reduce complexity in accounting standards. The areas for simplification in this ASU 2016-09 involve several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. Some of the areas for simplification apply only to nonpublic entities. For public business entities, the amendments in ASU 2016-09 were effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. We adopted ASU 2016-09 in the first quarter of 2017. ASU 2016-09 did not have a material effect on our financial statements. In June 2016, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326) Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13”). The main objective of ASU 2016-13 is to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. To achieve this objective, the amendments in ASU 2016-13 replace the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The amendments affect entities holding financial assets and net investment in leases that are not accounted for at fair value through net income. The amendments affect loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases, off-balance-sheet credit exposures, reinsurance receivables, and any other financial assets not excluded from the scope that have the contractual right to receive cash. The amendments in ASU 2016-13 affect an entity to varying degrees depending on the credit quality of the assets held by the entity, their duration, and how the entity applies current GAAP. There is diversity in practice in applying the incurred loss methodology, which means that before transition some entities may be more aligned, under current GAAP, than others to the new measure of expected credit losses. The amendments in ASU 2016-13 require a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset(s) to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. The income statement reflects the measurement of credit losses for newly recognized financial assets, as well as the expected increases or decreases of expected credit losses that have taken place during the period. The measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectibility of the reported amount. An entity must use judgment in determining the relevant information and estimation methods that are appropriate in its circumstances. The allowance for credit losses for purchased financial assets with a more-than insignificant amount of credit deterioration since origination (PCD assets) that are measured at amortized cost basis is determined in a similar manner to other financial assets measured at amortized cost basis; however, the initial allowance for credit losses is added to the purchase price rather than being reported as a credit loss expense. Only subsequent changes in the allowance for credit losses are recorded as a credit loss expense for these assets. Interest income for PCD assets should be recognized based on the effective interest rate, excluding the discount embedded in the purchase price that is attributable to the acquirer’s assessment of credit losses at acquisition. Credit losses relating to available-for-sale debt securities should be recorded through an allowance for credit losses. Available-for-sale accounting recognizes that value may be realized either through collection of contractual cash flows or through sale of the security. Therefore, the amendments limit the amount of the allowance for credit losses to the amount by which fair value is below amortized cost because the classification as available for sale is premised on an investment strategy that recognizes that the investment could be sold at fair value, if cash collection would result in the realization of an amount less than fair value. The amendments in ASU 2016-13 require that credit losses be presented as an allowance rather than as a writedown. This approach is an improvement to current GAAP because an entity will be able to record reversals of credit losses (in situations in which the estimate of credit losses declines) in current period net income, which in turn should align the income statement recognition of credit losses with the reporting period in which changes occur. Current GAAP prohibits reflecting those improvements in current period earnings. For public business entities that are SEC filers, the amendments in ASU 2016-13 are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. All entities may adopt the amendments in ASU 2016-13 earlier as of the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. An entity will apply the amendments in ASU 2016-13 through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective (that is, modified-retrospective approach). A prospective transition approach is required for debt securities for which an other-than-temporary impairment had been recognized before the effective date. The effect of a prospective transition approach is to maintain the same amortized cost basis before and after the effective date of ASU 2016-13. Amounts previously recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income as of the date of adoption that relate to improvements in cash flows expected to be collected should continue to be accreted into income over the remaining life of the asset. Recoveries of amounts previously written off relating to improvements in cash flows after the date of adoption should be recorded in earnings when received. We are currently evaluating the impact of the amendments in ASU 2016-13 on our consolidated financial statements. In August 2016, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-15, “ Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments” (“ASU 2016-15”). Stakeholders indicated that there is diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows under Topic 230, Statement of Cash Flows, and other Topics. T he following eight specific cash flow issues are addressed in ASU 2016-15: Debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs; settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments or other debt instruments with coupon interest rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing; contingent consideration payments made after a business combination; proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims; proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies (“COLI”s) (including bank-owned life insurance policies (“BOLI”s)); distributions received from equity method investees; beneficial interests in securitization transactions; and separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. For public business entities, the amendments in this ASU 2016-15 are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments in ASU 2016-15 should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. If it is impracticable to apply the amendments retrospectively for some of the issues, the amendments for those issues would be applied prospectively as of the earliest date practicable. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. An entity that elects early adoption must adopt all of the amendments in the same period. We intend to adopt ASU 2016-15 during the first quarter of 2018 and it will have no effect on our results of operations because it only impacts the presentation of certain information on the statement of cash flows. In December 2016, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-19, “Technical Corrections and Improvements” (“ASU 2016-19”). The amendments in ASU 2016-19 cover a wide range of Topics in the Accounting Standards Codification. The amendments generally fall into one of four categories: (1) amendments related to differences between original guidance and the codification, (2) guidance clarification and reference corrections, (3) simplification, and (4) minor improvements. Most of the amendments in ASU 2016-19 do not require transition guidance and were effective upon issuance. The amendments that require transition guidance are not applicable to the Company. The amendments that require transition guidance are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016. FASB does not expect the changes to affect current accounting practice or result in any significant costs. The adoption of ASU 2016-19 effective January 1, 2017, did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In February 2017, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-07, “ Compensation—Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost” (“ASU 2017-07”). To improve the consistency, transparency, and usefulness of financial information for users, the amendments in ASU 2017-07 require that an employer disaggregate the service cost component from the other components of net benefit cost and report the service cost component in the same line item or items as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. It also requires the other components of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of income from operations, if one is presented. The amendments in ASU 2017-07 are effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual period for which financial statements (interim or annual) have not been issued or made available for issuance. The amendments in ASU 2017-07 should be applied retrospectively for the presentation of the service cost component and the other components of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost in the income statement and prospectively, on and after the effective date, for the capitalization of the service cost component of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit in assets. We intend to adopt ASU 2017-07 during the first quarter of 2018 and it will have no effect on our results of operations because it only impacts the presentation of certain information on the statements of income. In March 2017, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-08, “Receivables —Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities” (“ASU 2017-08”). ASU 2017-08 amends guidance on the amortization period of premiums on certain purchased callable debt securities. Specifically, the amendments shorten the amortization period of premiums on certain purchased callable debt securities to the earliest call date. The amendments affect all entities that hold investments in callable debt securities that have an amortized cost basis in excess of the amount that is repayable by the issuer at the earliest call date. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. An entity should apply the amendments in this Update on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. Additionally, in the period of adoption, an entity should provide disclosures about a change in accounting principle. The effect of ASU 2017-08 would be lower interest income and a corresponding lower yield as the amortization period would be shortened. As of March 31, 2017 we do not hold any callable debt securities that were purchased at a premium. We intend to adopt ASU 2017-08 during the first quarter of 2019.
