             ROYAL BANCSHARES OF PENNSYLVANIA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Royal Bancshares of Pennsylvania, Inc. (the Company) and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries: Royal Equity Partners, Inc. (1) and Royal Bank of
Pennsylvania (the Bank), Royal Real Estate of Pennsylvania, Inc. and Crusader
Servicing Corporation. On June 22, 2001, the Bank purchased a 60% ownership in
Crusader Servicing Corporation from Crusader Holding Corporation. These
financial statements reflect the historical information of the Company. All
significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated.

1.       The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been
         prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in
         the United States of America (US GAAP) for interim financial
         information. The financial information included herein is unaudited;
         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, 2001.


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 the acquisition, certain assets and liabilities were
         purchased for approximately $41.5 million which represented the
         approximate fair value of net assets acquired. Included in this
         purchase was approximately $331.3 million of assets, of which $236.5
         million was related to the loan portfolio. The purchase also included
         the assumption of deposits in the approximate amount of $251 million.
         The purchase price was paid in cash. This transaction was accounted for
         under the purchase method of accounting. There was no goodwill recorded
         in connection with this transaction.

         The following represents the unaudited results of operations of the
         Company as if the acquisition had occurred the first date of the period
         indicated. This pro forma information should be read in conjunction
         with the related historical information and is not necessarily
         indicative of the results that would have been attained had the
         acquisition actually been consummated on the dates indicated, nor are
         they necessarily indicative of our future operating results.

3.       Per Share Information

         The Company follows the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 128,
         "Earnings Per Share. 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. In January 2002 the Company declared a 6% stock dividend.
         All share and per share information has been restated to reflect this
         dividend. Basic and diluted EPS are calculated as follows (In

6.       Non-performing loans

         Loans on which the accrual of interest has been discontinued or reduced
         amounted to approximately $13.3 million and $7.4 million at September
         30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Although the Company has
         non-performing loans of approximately $13.3 million at September 30,
         2002, management believes it has adequate collateral to limit it's
         credit risks.

         The balance of impaired loans which included the loans on which the
         accrual of interest has been discontinued, was approximately $13.4
         million and $7.5 million at September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
         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. Although the company
         recognizes the balances of impaired loans when analyzing its' loan loss
         reserve, the allowance for loan loss associated with impaired loans was
         $ 3 million at September 30, 2002. The income that was recognized on
         impaired loans during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002
         was $-0-. The cash collected on impaired loans during the same period
         was $1 million of which $1 million was credited to the principal
         balance outstanding on such loans. 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 changes in the financial condition and earnings
performance of the Company and its' subsidiaries for the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2002.

         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, 2002 were $1,098 million,
an increase of $167 million from the $931 million reported at year-end, December
31, 2001. This increase is primarily due to new deposits generated during the
year, along with the utilization of low interest rates offered on advances at
the F.H.L.B. of Pittsburgh.

         Total loans decreased $58.1 million from the $646.2 million level at
December 31, 2001 to $588.1 million at September 30, 2002. This decrease is
attributed to the slow pace of the economic recovery and stiff loan competition
that is occurring throughout the industry. The year-to-date average balance of
loans was $609.0 million at September 30, 2002.

          The allowance for loan loss increased $321,000 to $12.2 million at
September 30, 2002 from $11.9 million at December 31, 2001. The level of
allowance for loan loss reserve represents approximately 2.1% of total loans at
September 30, 2002 versus 1.8% at December 31, 2001. 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 $219.9 million increase in total investment securities is primarily
attributable to the redeployment of excess cash on hand to achieve a higher rate
of return.

         Total cash and cash equivalents increased $4.3 million from $40.0
million level at December 31, 2001 to $44.3 million at September 30, 2002.

                                                                              11


         Total deposits, the primary source of funds, increased $100.4 million
to $802.3 million at September 30, 2002, from $701.9 million at December 31,
2001. This increase in deposits is primarily due to the competitive rates of our
Royal Treasury money market and the opening of our new Grant Avenue Branch. The
balance of brokered deposits was $142.9 million, representing approximately 18%
of total deposits at September 30, 2002. Generally, these brokered deposits
cannot be redeemed prior to the stated maturity, except in the event of the
death or adjudication of incompetence of the deposit holder.

         Consolidated stockholder's equity increased $9.1 million to $117.5
million at September 30, 2002 from $108.4 million at December 31, 2001. This
increase is primarily due to net income of $12.6 million, partially offset by
three quarterly cash dividends totaling $7.9 million. Additionally,
stockholder's equity increased by $3.4 million due to an adjustment in the
market value of available-for-sale investment securities during the first nine
months of 2002.

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, 2002
was $4.5 million or $.39 basic earnings per share, as compared to net income of
$3.6 million or $.32 basic earnings per share for the same three month period in
2001. During the third quarter ended September 30, 2002 the Company had
approximately $550 thousand in gains from sale of $110 million of investment
securities classified as available for sale investments. Consolidated net income
for the nine months ended, September 30, 2002 was $12.6 million or $1.09 basic
earnings per share, as compared to net income of $11.3 million or $1.00 basic
earnings per share for the same nine month period in 2001. This increase is
primarily due to a higher return from the increase in the balance of earning
assets.

         For the third quarter 2002, net interest income was $10.5 million as
compared to $10.0 million for the same quarter in 2001, an increase of $500
thousand or 5%. This increase is primarily due to an increase in the average
balance in earning assets in the third quarter period of 2002 versus the same
period in 2001. Interest income on loans decreased $1.9 million for the third
quarter of 2002 versus 2001 primarily due to a decrease in the average balance
of loans during the same period. Interest income on investment securities
increased $1.9 million, a 43% increase over the same three-month period in 2001,
which is primarily due to the increase in the average balance in investment
securities. Total interest expense on deposits and borrowings decreased $0.6
million to $9.3 million as compared to $9.9 million for the same three-month
period in 2001. This decrease in interest expense is primarily due the reduction
of interest rates on deposits and borrowings

         Provision for loan losses was $0 for the third quarter of 2002 and $0
for the same three-month period in 2001. Charge-offs and recoveries were $0 and
$51,000 respectively, for the three-month period ended September 30, 2002 versus
$497,000 and $70,000, respectively, for the same three-month period in 2001.
Overall, management considers the current level of allowance for loan loss to be
adequate at September 30, 2002.

12


         Total non-interest income for the three-month period ended September
30, 2002 was $1.2 million as compared to $572 thousand for the same three-month
period in 2001. The $658 thousand increase in 2002 is primarily due to gains
realized through the sale of investment securities completed during the quarter.

         Total non-interest expense for the three months ended September 30,
2002 was $4.8 million, a decrease of $337 thousand, as compared to $5.2 million
for the same period in 2001. This decrease in non-interest expense is primarily
due to a smaller contribution to the Company's Stock Appreciation Rights Program
during this quarter as compared to the same three-month period in 2001.

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, 2002, 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:


                                                 September 30, 2002          December 31, 2001

             Capital Levels
               Tier 1 leverage ratio                   10.3%                       14.1%
               Tier 1 risk-based ratio                 15.1%                       14.4%
               Total risk-based ratio                  16.4%                       15.9%

             Capital Performance
               Return on average assets                 1.6%(1)                     2.0%(1)
               Return on average equity                15.3%(1)                    15.0%(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.

                                                                              13



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 37%
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, 2002:

(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, 2002.
(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.

                                                                              15



ITEM 4 - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

         We maintain a system of controls and procedures designed to provide
reasonable assurance to the reliability of the financial statements and other
disclosures included in this report, as well as to safeguard assets from
unauthorized use or disposition. We evaluated the effectiveness of the design
and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures under the supervision
and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer, within 90 days prior to the filing date of this
report. Based upon that evaluation, our disclosure controls and procedures are
effective in timely alerting them to material information required to be
included in our periodic Securities and Exchange Commission filings. No
significant changes were made to our internal controls or other factors that
could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their
evaluation.

                        RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144 ("SFAS 144"), "Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." SFAS No. 144 retains the existing
requirements to recognize and measure the impairment of long-lived assets to be
held and used or to be disposed of by sale. However, SFAS No. 144 makes changes
to the scope and certain measurement requirements of existing accounting
guidance. SFAS No. 144 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2001. The adoption of this statement is not
expected to have a significant impact on the financial condition or results of
operations of the Company.

I, James J. McSwiggan, Chief Financial Officer, certify, that:

         1. I have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-Q of Royal
Bancshares of Pennsylvania.

         2. Based on my knowledge, the quarterly report does not contain any
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary
to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such
statements were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by this
quarterly report.

         3. Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial
information included in this quarterly report, fairly present in all material
respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the
registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this quarterly report.

         4. The registrant's other certifying officer and I are responsible for
establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in
Exchange Act Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14) for the registrant and we have:

                  (a) designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure
that material information relating to registrant, including its consolidated
subsidiaries, is made known to us by others within those entities, particularly
during the period in which this quarterly report is being prepared;

                  (b) evaluated the effectiveness of registrant's disclosure
controls and procedures as of a date within 90 days prior to the filing date of
the quarterly report (the "Evaluation Date"); and

                  (c) presented in this quarterly report our conclusions about
the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based on our
evaluation as of the Evaluation date.

         5. The registrant's other certifying officer and I have disclosed,
based on our most recent evaluation, to the registrant's auditor and the audit
committee of the registrant's board of directors (or persons performing the
equivalent function):

                  (a) all significant deficiencies in the design or operation of
the internal controls which could adversely affect the registrant's ability to
record, process, summarize and report financial data and have identified for the
registrant's auditor any material weaknesses in internal controls; and

                  (b) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves
management or other employees who have a significant role in the registrant's
internal controls.

         6. The registrant's other certifying officer and I have indicated in
this quarterly report whether or not there were significant changes in internal
controls or in other factors that could significantly affect the internal
controls subsequent to the date of our most recent evaluation, including any
corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material
weaknesses.
