2. Acquisitions

   As of June 22, 2001, Royal Bancshares of Pennsylvania completed its
   acquisition of the assets of Crusader Holding Corporation (Crusader). Under
   the terms of the acquisition certain assets and liabilities were purchased
   for $41.8 million, which represented the approximate fair value of the assets

   cash on hand being utilized. This transaction was accounted for under the
   purchase method of accounting.

   The following represents the un-audited results of operations of the Company
   as the acquisition has occurred the first date of the period indicated. This
   pro forma information should be read in conjunction with the related

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 $7,416,598 and $4,714,937 at September 30, 2001 and
   2000, respectively. This increase is primarily due to the $5,918,402 of
   non-performing loans acquired through the purchase of certain assets and
   liabilities of Crusader Holding Corporation. Although the Company has
   non-performing loans of approximately $7,416,598 at September 30, 2001,
   management believes it has adequate collateral to limit its credit risks.

   The balance of impaired loans was $121,645 at September 30, 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 September 30, 2001. The income that was recognized on impaired loans
   during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2001 was $1,741. The cash
   collected on impaired loans during the same period was $264,414 of which
   $262,672 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 $13,743. 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 it's wholly owned subsidiaries for the
nine month period ended September 30, 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 September 30, 2001 were $950.9 million,
an increase of $320.8 million from the $630.1 million reported at year-end,
December 31, 2000. This increase is primarily due to the $331.3 million of
assets acquired through the purchase of certain assets and liabilities from
Crusader Holding Corporation which was completed on June 22, 2001.

         Total loans increased $252.9 million from the $423.9 million level at
December 31, 2000 to $676.8 million at September 30, 2001, of which $236.5
million was related to the assumption of Crusader loan portfolio. Additionally,
approximately $16.4 million of the increase in loans is attributable to
internally generated loan growth in the first nine months of 2001. The
year-to-date average balance of loans was $506.7 million at September 30, 2001.

          The allowance for loan loss decreased $151,461 to $11.8 million at
September 30, 2001 from $12.0 million at December 31, 2000. The level of
allowance for loan loss reserve represents approximately 1.8% of total loans at
September 30, 2001 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 the economic and other conditions considered by management in
evaluating the adequacy of the current level of the allowance.

         The $32.6 million increase in total investment securities is primarily
attributable to the purchase of Crusader's investment portfolio.


         Total cash and cash equivalents increased to $26.2 million from $42.2
million level at December 31, 2000 to $69.4 million at September 30, 2001, of
which $48.0 million was held in a money market fund due to a higher rate of
return.

         Total deposits, the primary source of funds, increased $250.7 million
to $723.3 million at September 30, 2001, from $472.6 million at December 31,
2000. This increase in deposits is primarily due to the assumption of deposits
from Crusader Holding Corporation in the amount of $251.0 million, partially
offset by deposit runoff. The balance of brokered deposits was $289.1 million,
representing approximately 40% of total deposits at September 30, 2001.

         Consolidated stockholder's equity increased $2.7 million to $106.2
million at September 30, 2001 from $103.5 million at December 31, 2000. This
increase is primarily due to net income of $11.3 million, partially offset by a
quarterly cash dividend of $6.7 million. Additionally, stockholder's equity was
decreased $2.0 million due to an adjustment in the market value of
available-for-sale investment securities during the first nine 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 effected 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, September 30, 2001
was $3.6 million or $.33 basic earnings per share, as compared to net income of
$3.6 million or $.36 basic earnings per share for the same three month period in
2000. This decrease is primarily due to falling interest rates within our loan
portfolio. Consolidated net income for the nine months ended, September 30, 2001
was $11.3 million or $1.07 basic earnings per share, as compared to net income
of $10.7 million or $1.06 basic earnings per share for the same nine month
period in 2000. This increase is primarily due to the growth in average earning
assets versus interest bearing liabilities over the nine month period ending,
September 30, 2001.

         For the third quarter 2001, net interest income was $10.0 million as
compared to $9.2 million for the same quarter in 2000, an increase of $0.8
million or 8.7%. This increase is primarily due to an increase in the average
balance in loans in the third quarter period of 2001 versus the same period in
2000. The balance of average loans for the third quarter of 2001 was $672.8
million, as compared to $407.7 million for the same quarter in 2000. This $265.1
million increase in the average balance of loans represents a 65% increase.
Interest income on investment securities increased $1.6 million, a 57.8%
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 $4.0 million to $9.9 million as compared to
$5.9 million for the same three-month period in 2000. This increase in interest
expense is primarily due to an increase in the average interest bearing
liabilities balance in the third quarter of 2001. For the comparative nine-month
period, net interest income increased $.7 million to $27.2 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2001 as compared to $26.5 million for same nine-month
period in 2000. This increase in net income is primarily due to an increase in
the average balance of loans in 2001 as compared to 2000.


         Provision for loan losses was $0 for the third quarter of 2001 and $0
for the same three-month period in 2000, respectively. Charge-offs and
recoveries were $497 thousand and $70 thousand, respectively, for the
three-month period ended September 30, 2001 versus $0 and $189 thousand,
respectively, for the same three-month period in 2000. For the comparative
nine-month period, provision for loan loss was $-0- thousand for the nine months
ended, September 30, 2001 as compared to $250 thousand for the same nine-month
period in 2000. Charge-offs and recoveries were $519 thousand and $367 thousand,
respectively, for the nine-months ended September 30, 2001 as compared to $201
thousand and $427 thousand respectively for the same nine-month period in 2000.
Overall, Management considers the current level of allowance for loan loss to be
adequate at September 30, 2001.

         Total non-interest income for the three-month period ended September
30, 2001 was $572 thousand as compared to $324 thousand for the same three-month
period in 2000. The $248 thousand increase in 2001 is primarily due to an
increase in gains on sale of loans. For the comparative nine-month period,
non-interest income was $1.2 million for the nine-months ended September 30,
2001 as compared to $958 thousand for the same nine-month period in 2000. This
increase is again primarily due to a increase in gains on sale of loans.

         Total non-interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2001
was $5.2 million, an increase of $1.4 million, or 37%, as compared to $3.8
million for the same period in 2000. This increase in non-interest expense is
primarily due to an increase in personnel costs resulting from the retention of
the former employees of Crusader Savings Bank. For the comparative nine-month
period, non-interest expense was $13.3 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2001 as compared to $11.0 million for the same nine-month period
in 2000.

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 September 30, 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 100 to 200 basis points.

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

                                            Sept. 30, 2001     December 31, 2000
                                            --------------     -----------------
        Capital Levels
          Tier 1 leverage ratio                 11.71%               17.0%
          Tier 1 risk-based ratio               13.91%               18.1%
          Total risk-based ratio                15.14%               19.4%

        Capital Performance
          Return on average assets                2.1% (1)            2.5% (1)
          Return on average equity               14.4% (1)           14.3% (1)
             (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.





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 34%
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.

         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
September 30, 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 September 30, 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 originating fixed rate loans, a
portion of the loan portfolio continues to be comprised of floating rate loans
with interest rate floors.






                        RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
                        --------------------------------

On June 29, 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141, Business
Combinations, and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Intangible Assets. These statements
are expected to result in significant modifications relative to Company's
accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets. SFAS No. 141 requires that
all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 must be accounted for
under the purchase method of accounting. SFAS No. 141 was effective upon
issuance. SFAS No. 142 modifies the accounting for all purchased goodwill and
intangible assets. SFAS No. 142 includes requirements to test goodwill and
indefinite lived intangibles assets for impairment rather than amortize them.
SFAS No. 142 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31,
2001 and early adoption is not permitted except for business combinations
entered into after June 30, 2001. The Company is currently evaluating the
provisions of SFAS No. 142, but its preliminary assessment is that these
Statements will not have a material impact on the Company's financial position
or results of operations.

On July 6, 2001, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 102, Selected Loan Loss Allowance Methodology and
Documentation Issues. SAB No. 102 provides guidance on the development,
documentation, and application of a systematic methodology for determining the
allowance for loans and leases in accordance with US GAAP. The adoption of SAB
No. 102 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial
position or results of operations.
