                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

The accompanying un-audited consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Royal Bancshares of Pennsylvania, Inc. (the Company) and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries: Royal Bank of Pennsylvania (the Bank), Royal Real
Estate of Pennsylvania, Inc. and Royal Investments of Delaware, Inc. These
financial statements reflect the historical information of the Company. All
significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated.

1.       The accompanying un-audited condensed financial statements have been
         prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
         for interim financial information. The financial information included
         herein is un-audited; however, such information reflects all
         adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) that
         are, in opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of
         the results for the interim periods. Further information is included in
         the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000.

2.       The results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31,
         2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for
         the full year.

3.       Per Share Information

         In 1997, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 128, "Earnings
         Per Share," which eliminates primary and fully diluted EPS and requires
         presentation of basic and diluted EPS in conjunction with the
         disclosure of the methodology used in computing such EPS. Basic EPS
         excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to
         common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding
         during the period. Diluted EPS takes into account the potential
         dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue
         common stock were exercised and converted into common stock. Basic and
         diluted EPS are calculated as follows:

5.       In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (FASB) issued
         Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, "Accounting
         for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activity." SFAS No. 133
         establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative
         instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other
         contracts, and for hedging activities. It requires that an entity
         recognize all value. If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be
         specifically designated as a hedge. The accounting for changes in the
         fair value of derivatives (gains and losses) depends on the intended
         use of the derivative and resulting designation. SFAS No. 133 is
         effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June
         15, 1999. Earlier applications are permitted only as of the beginning
         of any fiscal quarter.

7.       Nonperforming loans

         Loans on which the accrual of interest has been discontinued or reduced
         amounted to approximately $3,749,563 and $1,602,504 at March 31, 2001
         and 2000, respectively. Although the Company has non-performing loans
         of approximately $4,714,937 at March 31, 2001, management believes it
         has adequate collateral to limit its credit risks.

         The balance of impaired loans was $339,188 at March 31, 2001. The
         Company identifies a loan as impaired when it is probable that interest
         and principal will not be collected according to the contractual terms
         of the loan agreements. The allowance for credit loss associated with
         impaired loans was $-0- at March 31, 2001. The income that was
         recognized on impaired loans during the three-month period ended March
         31, 2001 was $1,307.24. The cash collected on impaired loans during the
         period was $13,153, of which $11,846 was credited to the principal
         balance outstanding on such loans. Interest that would have been
         accrued on impaired loans during this period in 2001 was $3,515. The
         Company's policy for interest income recognition on impaired loans is
         to recognize income on currently performing restructured loans under
         the accrual method. The Company recognizes income on non-accrual loans
         under the cash basis when the principal payments on the loans become
         current and the collateral on the loan is sufficient to cover the
         outstanding obligation to the Company. If these factors do not exist,
         the Company does not recognize income.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULT
         OF OPERATIONS

         The following discussion and analysis is intended to assist in
understanding and evaluating the major changes in the financial condition and
earnings performance of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries for the
three month period ended March 31, 2001.

         From time to time, the Company may include forward-looking statements
relating to such matters as anticipated financial performance, business
prospects, technological developments, new products, research and development
activities and similar matters in this and other filings with the Securities
Exchange Commission. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
provides safe harbor for forward-looking statements. In order to comply with the
terms of the safe harbor, the Company notes that a variety of factors could
cause the Company's actual results and experience to differ materially from the
anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the Company's
forward-looking statements. The risks and uncertainties that may affect the
operations, performance development and results of the Company's business
include the following: general economic conditions, including their impact on
capital expenditures, business conditions in the banking industry; the
regulatory environment; rapidly changing technology and evolving banking
industry standards; competitive factors, including increased competition with
community, regional and national financial institutions; new service and product
offerings by competitors and price pressures and similar items.


FINANCIAL CONDITION

         Total consolidated assets as of March 31, 2001 were $625.5 million, a
decrease of $4.6 million from the $630.1 million reported at year-end, December
31, 2000. This $4.6 million decrease in total assets is primarily due to a $20.3
million decrease in cash and cash equivalents offset by a $9.5 million increase
in loans and $4.4 million increase in investment securities. Total liabilities
decreased $4.9 million partially due to a decrease in deposits during the first
quarter of 2001.

         Total loans increased $9.5 million from the $423.9 million level at
December 31, 2000 to $433.4 million at March 31, 2001. This $9.5 million
increase in total loans is primarily due to a internally generated growth in
loans, partially offset by loan payoffs, amortization and maturities. The
year-to-date average balance of loans was $427.4 million at March 31, 2001.

          The allowance for loan loss increased $.2 million to $12.2 million at
March 31, 2001 from $12.0 million at December 31, 2000. The level of allowance
for loan loss reserve represents approximately 2.8% of total loans at March 31,
2000 versus 2.8% at December 31, 2000. While management believes that, based on
information currently available, the allowance for loan loss is sufficient to
cover losses inherent in the Company's loan portfolio at this time, no
assurances can be given that the level of allowance will be sufficient to cover
future loan losses or that future adjustments to the allowance will be
sufficient to cover future loan losses or that future adjustments to the
allowance will not be necessary if economic and/or other conditions differ
substantially from


                                       10
   11
the economic and other conditions considered by management in evaluating the
adequacy of the current level of the allowance.

         The $4.4 million increase in total investment securities is primarily
due to purchases of mostly government agencies, partially offset by scheduled
maturities in the first quarter of 2001. Held-to-maturity (HTM) investment
securities increased $6.4 million for this period, while available-for-sale
(AFS) investment securities decreased $2.0 million.

         Total deposits, the primary source of funds, increased $2.5 million to
$470.1 million at March 31, 2001, from $472.6 million at December 31, 2000. This
decrease in deposits is primarily due to an decrease in certificates of deposits
of $20 million, partially offset by $13.9 million increase in interest-bearing
transaction accounts (NOW and money market), in addition to a $2.9 million
increase in non-interest bearing deposits. The $20 million decrease in
certificates of deposits was primarily due to a $19 million decrease in brokered
deposits due to scheduled maturities in 2001. The balance of brokered deposits
was $128.2 million, representing approximately 27% of total deposits at March
31, 2001.

         Consolidated stockholder's equity increased $.3 million to $103.8
million at March 31, 2001 from $103.5 million at December 31, 2000. This
increase is primarily due to net income of $3.9 million, partially offset by a
cash dividend of $2.2 million. Additionally, stockholder's equity decreased $1.4
million primarily due to a downward adjustment in the market value of
available-for-sale investment securities during the first three months of 2001.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         Results of operations depend primarily on net interest income, which is
the difference between interest income on interest earning assets and interest
expense on interest bearing liabilities. Interest earning assets consist
principally of loans and investment securities, while interest bearing
liabilities consist primarily of deposits. Net income is also affected by the
provision for loan losses and the level of non-interest income as well as by
non-interest expenses, including salary and employee benefits, occupancy
expenses and other operating expenses.

         Consolidated net income for the three months ended, March 31, 2001 was
$3,914,291 or $.37 basic earnings per share, as compared to net income of
$3,326,367 or $.31 basic earnings per share for the same three month period in
2000. This increase is primarily due to an increase in interest income relating
to the growth of the loan and investment portfolios in 2001. Average earning
assets were $499.9 million for the first quarter of 2001 versus $418.1 million
for the first quarter of 2000.

         For the first quarter 2001, net interest income before provision for
loan loss was $8.6 million as compared to $8.0 million for the same quarter in
2000, an increase of $.6 million or 7%. This increase is primarily due to an
increase in the average balance in loans and investment securities in the first
quarter period of 2001 versus the same period in 2000. Interest income on loans
increased $1.2 million for the first quarter of 2001 versus 2000 primarily due
to a higher


                                       11
   12
average balance of loans due the growth in the portfolio since March 31, 2000.
Interest income on investment securities increased $.6 million, a 21% increase
over the same three-month period in 2000, which is primarily due to the increase
in the average balance in investment securities. Total interest expense on
deposits and borrowings increased $1.2 million to $6.1 million as compared to
$4.9 million for the same three-month period in 2000. This increase in interest
expense is primarily due to an increase in the average balance of certificates
of deposits, in addition to an increase in interest expense on NOW and money
market deposits in the first quarter of 2001. This increase in the average
balance of certificates of deposits is primarily due to the increase in higher
costing brokered certificates of deposits in 2001. The increase in Now and money
market deposits is due to the introduction of a new deposit product in March
2000.

         Provision for loan loss was $0 for the first quarter of 2001 as
compared to $.3 million for the same three-month period in 2000. Charge-offs and
recoveries were $0 and $213 thousand, respectively, for the three-month period
ended March 31, 2001 versus $0 million and $41 thousand, respectively, for the
same three-month period in 2000. Overall, Management considers the current level
of allowance for loan loss to be adequate at March 31, 2001.

         Total non-interest income for the three-month period ended March 31,
2001 was $.4 million as compared to $.3 million for the same three-month period
in 2000. The $.1 million increase in 2001 is primarily due to an increase in
gains on sale of real estate.

         Total non-interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2001
was $3.4 million, an increase of $.2 million, or 7%, as compared to $3.2 million
for the same period in 2000. This increase in non-interest expense is due to
a$.2 million increase in salaries, primarily related to an increase in the bonus
accrual for 2001.


LIQUIDITY & INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY

         Liquidity is the ability to ensure that adequate funds will be
available to meet its financial commitments as they become due. In managing its
liquidity position, all sources of funds are evaluated, the largest of which is
deposits. Also taken into consideration is the repayment of loans. These sources
provide alternatives to meet its short-term liquidity needs. Longer liquidity
needs may be met by issuing longer-term deposits and by raising additional
capital. The liquidity ratio is generally maintained equal to or greater than
25% of deposits and short-term liabilities.

         The liquidity ratio of the Company remains strong at approximately 35%
and exceeds the Company's peer group levels and target ratio set forth in the
Asset/Liability Policy. The Company's level of liquidity is provided by funds
invested primarily in corporate bonds, capital trust securities, US Treasuries
and agencies, and to a lesser extent, federal funds sold. The overall liquidity
position is monitored on a monthly basis.


                                       12
   13
         Interest rate sensitivity is a function of the repricing
characteristics of the Company's assets and liabilities. These include the
volume of assets and liabilities repricing, the timing of the repricing, and the
interest rate sensitivity gaps is a continual challenge in a changing rate
environment. The following table shows separately the interest sensitivity of
each category of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities as of
March 31, 2001:

(1)  Interest earning assets are included in the period in which the balances
     are expected to be repaid and/or repriced as a result of anticipated
     prepayments, scheduled rate adjustments, and contractual maturities.

(2)  Reflects principal maturing within the specified periods for fixed and
     variable rate loans and includes nonperforming loans.

(3)  Fixed rate loans include a portion of variable rate loans whose floors are
     in effect at March 31, 2001.

(4)  For purposes of gap analysis, other assets include the allowance for
     possible loan loss, unamortized discount on purchased loans and deferred
     fees on loans.

(5)  Based on historical analysis, Money market and Savings deposits are assumed
     to have rate sensitivity of 1 month; NOW account deposits are assumed to
     have a rate sensitivity of 4 months.

         The Company's exposure to interest rate risk is mitigated somewhat by a
portion of the Company's loan portfolio consisting of floating rate loans, which
are tied to the prime lending rate but which have interest rate floors and no
interest rate ceilings. Although the Company is


                                       13
   14
originating fixed rate loans, a portion of the loan portfolio continues to be
comprised of floating rate loans with interest rate floors.


CAPITAL ADEQUACY

         The company is required to maintain minimum amounts of capital to total
"risk weighted" assets and a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio, as defined by the
banking regulators. At March 31, 2001, the Company was required to have a
minimum Tier 1 and total capital ratios of 4% and 8%, respectively, and a
minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of 3% plus an additional cushion of 100 to 200
basis points.

         The table below provides a comparison of Royal Bancshares of
Pennsylvania's risk-based capital ratios and leverage ratios:

               Tier 1 risk-based ratio                18.7%                    18.1%
               Total risk-based ratio                 19.9%                    19.4%

             CAPITAL PERFORMANCE
               Return on average assets              2.5% (1)                   2.5%
               Return on average equity             15.2% (1)                  14.3%
                                                                                (1) annualized


         The Company's ratios compare favorably to the minimum required amounts
of Tier 1 and total capital to "risk weighted" assets and the minimum Tier 1
leverage ratio, as defined by banking regulators. The Company currently meets
the criteria for a well-capitalized institution, and management believes that
the Company will continue to meet its minimum capital requirements. At present,
the Company has no commitments for significant capital expenditures.

         The Company is not under any agreement with regulatory authorities nor
is the Company aware of any current recommendations by the regulatory
authorities that, if such recommendations were implemented, would have a
material effect on liquidity, capital resources or operations of the Company.


PROPOSED ACQUISITION

       On March 12, 2001, Royal Bank of Pennsylvania, a wholly owned subsidiary
    of Royal Bancshares of Pennsylvania entered into a Purchase and Assumption
    Agreement with Crusader Holding Corporation, a Pennsylvania corporation, the
    holding company for Crusader Savings Bank, FSB, a federally chartered
    savings bank, to which Royal Bank will acquire substantially all of Crusader
    Savings Bank's assets and assume substantially all of its


                                       14
   15
   liabilities. The purchase price is payable in cash, based on Crusader's
   tangible book value, and will be adjusted through closing for net income and
   any other changes to Crusader's book value. This transaction is anticipated
   to be accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.

          The completion of transaction is subject to the satisfaction of
   various conditions including the receipt of regulatory approval from the
   Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve, the Federal Deposit Insurance
   Corporation, the Office of Thrift Supervision and the Pennsylvania State
   Banking Department.
