Business General Univest Corporation of Pennsylvania ("Univest") is a Pennsylvania corporation organized in 1973 and registered as a bank holding company pursuant to the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956. It owns all of the capital stock of Union National Bank and Trust Company ("Union National Bank"), Pennview Savings Bank, Univest Realty Corporation, Univest Leasing Corporation, Univest Delaware, Inc., Univest Financial Planning Corporation, Univest Insurance Company, and Univest Electronic Services Corporation. Union National Bank is engaged in the general commercial banking business and provides a full range of banking services and trust services to its customers. Pennview Savings Bank is engaged in attracting deposits from general public and investing such deposits primarily in loans secured by residential properties and consumer loans. Delview, Inc. a wholly owned subsidiary of Pennview, is a passive investment holding company operating in Delaware. Univest Realty Corporation was established to obtain, hold and operate properties for the holding company and its subsidiaries. Univest Delaware, Inc. is a passive investment holding company operating in Delaware. Univest Leasing Corporation is inactive. Univest Insurance Company offers credit-related reinsurance plans. Univest Electronic Services Corporation was established to provide data processing services to Union National Bank in Souderton and other subsidiaries of Univest Corporation of Pennsylvania. Union National Bank and Trust Company, with its head office in Souderton, Montgomery County, serves the area through twenty-six (26) banking offices, two off-premises automated teller machines, one work site office and provides banking and trust services to the residents and employees of ten retirement homes. Fifteen banking offices are in Montgomery County and eleven banking offices are in Bucks County. A work site office is located in Montgomery County. One off-premises automated teller machine is located in Montgomery County and one is located in Bucks County. Pennview Savings Bank conducts operations through five (5) full-service offices located in Souderton, Hatfield, Franconia, Silverdale and Montgomeryville, Pennsylvania and provides banking services to the residents and employees of two retirement homes. As of January 31, 1999, Univest and its subsidiaries employed four hundred and thirty-six (436) persons. Competition Univest's service areas are characterized by intense competition for banking business among commercial banks, savings and loan associations, savings banks and other financial institutions. Each of the Corporation's subsidiary banks actively compete with such banks and financial institutions for local retail and commercial accounts, in Bucks and Montgomery Counties, as well as other financial institutions outside their primary service area. In competing with other banks, savings and loan associations, and other financial institutions, Union National Bank and Pennview Savings Bank seek to provide personalized services through management's knowledge and awareness of their service area, customers and borrowers. Other competitors, including credit unions, consumer finance companies, insurance companies and mutual funds, compete with certain lending and deposit gathering services offered by Union National Bank and Pennview Savings Bank. Supervision and Regulation Union National Bank is subject to supervision and is regularly examined by the Office of Comptroller of the Currency. Also, Union National Bank is subject to examination by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation 2 and by the Federal Reserve System. Pennview Savings Bank is regulated by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and by the Department of Banking of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Univest is subject to the provisions of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and is registered pursuant to its provisions. The Act prohibits the acquisition by a bank holding company of a direct or indirect ownership of more than five percent of the voting shares of any bank within the United States without prior approval of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, and also prohibits the granting of such approval in respect to any bank within the United States located outside of the state where the bank holding company's principal operations are conducted, unless the acquisition is specifically authorized by the statutes of the state in which the bank is located. With certain exceptions, a bank holding company is prohibited from acquiring direct or indirect ownership or control of more than five percent of the voting shares of any company which is not a bank, and from engaging directly or indirectly in businesses unrelated to the business of banking, or managing, or controlling banks. Under the Bank Holding Company Act Amendments of 1970, which became effective on December 3, 1970, the Federal Reserve Board may approve the acquisition by bank holding companies of non bank subsidiaries to engage in activities that are closely related to banking and are in the public interest. The amendments include a provision which prohibits banks, bank holding companies and subsidiaries from engaging in tie-in arrangements. Bank tie-ins involving a loan, discount, deposit, or trust service are specifically exempted, and the Federal Reserve Board is authorized to make exceptions by regulations. As a bank holding company, Univest is subject to the reporting requirements of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, and Univest, together with its subsidiaries, is subject to examination by the Board. The Federal Reserve Act limits the amount of credit which a member bank may extend to its affiliates, and the amount of its funds which it may invest in or lend on the collateral of the securities of its affiliates. Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, insured banks are subject to the same limitations. FDICIA In December 1991, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act ("FDICIA") was enacted, which substantially revised the bank regulatory and funding provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and made revisions to several other federal banking statutes. Among other things, FDICIA requires the federal banking agencies to take "prompt corrective action" in respect of depository institutions that do not meet minimum capital requirements in order to minimize losses to the FDIC. FDICIA establishes five capital tiers: "well capitalized", "adequately capitalized", "undercapitalized", "significantly undercapitalized", and "critically undercapitalized" and imposes significant restrictions on the operations of a bank that is not at least adequately capitalized. A depository institution's capital tier will depend upon where its capital levels are in relation to various relevant capital measures, which will include a risk-based capital measure, a leverage ratio capital measure and certain other factors. Under the requirements, Univest has Tier I capital ratios of 12.3% and 14.1%, and total risk-based capital ratios of 13.4% and 15.2% at December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. These ratios place Univest in the "well-capitalized" category under regulatory standards. Regulations promulgated under FDICIA also require that an institution monitor its capital levels closely and notify its appropriate federal banking regulators within 15 days of any material events that affect the capital position of the institution. FDICIA directs that each federal banking agency prescribe standards for depository institutions and depository institution holding companies relating to internal controls, information systems, internal audit systems, loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest rate exposure, asset growth, a maximum ratio of classified assets to capital, minimum earnings sufficient to absorb losses, a minimum ratio of market value to book value for publicly traded shares (if feasible) and such other standards as the agency deems appropriate. FDICIA also contains a variety of other provisions that affect the operations of the Corporation, including new reporting requirements, regulatory standards for real estate lending, "truth in savings" provisions, certain 3 restrictions on investments and activities of state-chartered insured banks and their subsidiaries and limitations on credit exposure between banks. Finally, FDICIA limits the discretion of the FDIC with respect to deposit insurance coverage by requiring that, except in very limited circumstances, the FDIC's course of action in resolving a problem bank must constitute the "least costly resolution" for the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF") or the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF"), as the case may be. The FDIC has interpreted this standard as requiring it not to protect deposits exceeding the $100,000 insurance limit in more situations than was previously the case. In addition, FDICIA prohibits payments by the FDIC on uninsured deposits in foreign branches of U.S. banks and will severely limit the "too big to fail" doctrine under which the FDIC formerly protected deposits exceeding the $100,000 insurance limit in certain failed banking institutions. Implementation of FDICIA has not had a material impact on the business or operations of the Corporation. Credit and Monetary Policies Union National Bank is affected by the fiscal and monetary policies of the federal government and its agencies, including the Federal Reserve System. An important function of the policies is to curb inflation and control recessions through control of the supply of money and credit. The Federal Reserve System uses its powers to regulate reserve requirements of member banks, the discount rate on member-bank borrowings, interest rates on time and savings deposits of member banks, and to conduct open-market operations in United States Government securities to exercise control over the supply of money and credit. The policies have a direct effect on the amount of bank loans and deposits and on the interest rates charged on loans and paid on deposits, with the result that the policies have a material effect on bank earnings. Future policies of the Federal Reserve Bank System and other authorities cannot be predicted, nor can their effect on future bank earnings be predicted. Pennview Savings Bank and Union National Bank are members of the Federal Home Loan Bank System which consists of 12 regional Federal Home Loan Banks, with each subject to supervision and regulation by the newly created Federal Housing Finance Board. The Federal Home Loan Banks provide a central credit facility primarily for member institutions. The Banks, as members of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh, are required to acquire and hold shares of capital stock in that Federal Home Loan Bank in an amount equal to at least 1% of the aggregate principal amount of its unpaid residential mortgage loans, home purchase contracts and similar obligations at the beginning of each year, or 5% of its advances (borrowings) from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh, whichever is greater. Interstate Acquisitions The Interstate Banking Act allows federal regulators to approve mergers between adequately capitalized banks from different states regardless of whether the transaction is prohibited under any state law, unless one of the banks' home states has enacted a law expressly prohibiting out-of-state mergers before June 1997. This act also allows a state to permit out-of-state banks to establish and operate new branches in this state. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has "opted in" to this interstate merger provision. Therefore, the prior requirement that interstate acquisitions would only be permitted when another state had "reciprocal" legislation that allowed acquisitions by Pennsylvania-based bank holding companies has been eliminated. The new Pennsylvania legislation, however, retained the requirement that an acquisition of a Pennsylvania institution by a Pennsylvania or a non-Pennsylvania-based holding company must be approved by the Banking Department. Statistical Disclosure Univest was incorporated under Pennsylvania law in 1973 for the purpose of acquiring the stock of Union National Bank and subsequently to engage in other business activities permitted under the Bank Holding Company Act. On September 28, 1973, pursuant to an exchange offer, Univest acquired the outstanding stock of Union National Bank and on August 1, 1990 acquired the stock of Pennview Savings Bank. Two new subsidiaries were 4 incorporated on September 8, 1998 in the State of Delaware. Univest Delaware, Inc. and Delview, Inc. were formed as passive investment companies. Univest Delaware, Inc. is wholly owned by the Corporation and Delview, Inc. is wholly owned by Pennview. The following financial data appearing on pages 6 through 17 reflects consolidated information. Where averages are reported, daily information has been used for all subsidiaries. 5

RISK ELEMENTS (Thousands of Dollars) Nonaccrual, Past-Due and Restructured Loans and Other Assets Performance of the entire loan portfolio is reviewed on a regular basis by bank management and loan officers. A number of factors regarding the borrower, such as overall financial strength, collateral values, and repayment ability, are considered in deciding on what actions should be taken when determining the collectibility of interest for accrual purposes. Potential Problem Loans When collectibility of interest and/or principal on a particular loan is questionable, the loan is placed on nonaccrual status. If, at the time a decision is made to cease accruing interest, it is determined that the collection of previously accrued but unpaid interest is uncertain, a stipulated amount is charged against current income. Conversly, if a loan on nonaccrual status is paid in full, including interest, a credit is made to current income. The total of nonaccruing and restructured loans in 1998 was $3,549. There was no interest income recognized on these loans. If nonaccrual loans had been performing in accordance with their contractual terms, additional income of $341 would have been recorded in 1998. In management's evaluation of the loan portfolio risks, any significant future increases in nonperforming loans are dependent to a large extent on the economic environment, or specific industry problems. Loan Concentrations At December 31, 1998, there were no concentrations of loans exceeding 10% of total loans other than disclosed in Table III, Part A. Other Assets At December 31, 1998, $393 in Other Real Estate Owned was classified as nonperforming. This amount represents all Other Real Estate Owned as of December 31, 1998.

SUMMARY OF LOAN LOSS EXPERIENCE (Thousands of Dollars) Management's methodology to determine the adequacy of and the provisions to the reserve considers specific credit reviews, past loan loss experience, current economic conditions and trends, and the volume, growth, and composition of the loan portfolio. Reserve for possible loan losses is determined through a quarterly evaluation of reserve adequacy which takes into consideration the growth of the loan portfolio, the status of past-due loans, current economic conditions, various types of lending activity, policies, real estate and other loan commitments, and significant changes in the charge-off activity. Loans on the "watch list" and all nonaccrual loans are evaluated individually. All other loans are evaluated as pools. Based on historical loss experience, loss factors are determined giving consideration to the areas noted in the first paragraph and applied to the pooled loan categories to develop the general or allocated portion of reserve. Loans are also reviewed for impairment based on discounted cash flows using the loans' initial effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral for certain collateral-dependent loans as provided under SFAS No. 114. Management also reviews the activity within the allowance to determine what actions, if any, should be taken to address differences between estimated and actual losses. Any of the above factors may cause the provision to fluctuate. The methodology for establishing the loan loss reserve and provision has not changed in recent years. The reserve for possible loan losses is made up of the allocated or general reserve and the unallocated portion, which is the remainder after necessary allocations are made. The following table summarizes the two categories for the periods indicated. December 31, ------------------------------------- 1998 1997 1996 ------- ------- ------- Allocated $ 6,993 $ 4,749 $ 4,843 Unallocated 3,545 5,521 4,958 ------- ------- ------- Total $10,538 $10,270 $ 9,801 ======= ======= ======= The increase of $2.2 million in the allocated portion of the reserve for the year ended December 31, 1998 was due mainly to a $2.0 million increase in the uncriticized portion of the allowance related to the commercial loan pool. This increase was caused by a higher volume of losses among small business credits, which migrate more quickly from pass to loss than larger business credit charge offs. The historical loss factor for this segment of the commercial loan portfolio increased from 0.15% at December 31, 1997 to 1.11% at December 31, 1998. Volume also increased from $142 million at December 31, 1997 to $174 million at December 31, 1998. Industry concentrations increased in volume by $32 million from $56 million at December 31, 1997 to $88 million at December 31, 1998. This increase relates to a segment in the real estate industry. The loss factor for calculating the reserve applicable to industry concentration increased from 0.20% at December 31, 1997 to 0.60% at December 31, 1998. The change in volume and change in loss factor resulted in an increase of $400 thousand in the allocated reserve. The approximate $2.2 million increase in the allocated reserve for the year ended December 31, 1998 caused a corresponding decrease in the unallocated portion of the reserve. Other immaterial fluctuation occurred in both volumes and estimation factors of other pools of loans. Management believes that both the allocated and unallocated portions of the reserve are maintained at a level which is adequate to absorb potential losses in the loan portfolio. 14 There were no significant changes in either the allocated or unallocated portions of the reserve for the year ended December 31, 1998 when compared to the year ended December 31, 1997. As the accompanying table indicates, the amount of loan loss provision charged to expense for 1998 was $958 compared to $1,310 in 1997 and $1,045 in 1996. 15 UNIVEST CORPORATION OF PENNSYLVANIA AND SUBSIDIARIES TABLE V.

See accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements. 16 -- Univest Corporation of Pennsylvania - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (dollars in thousands, except share data) Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Organization Univest Corporation of Pennsylvania (the Corporation) through its wholly owned subsidiaries, Union National Bank and Trust Company (Union) and Pennview Savings Bank (Pennview), is engaged in domestic commercial and retail banking services and provides a full range of banking and trust services to its customers. Union and Pennview serve the Montgomery and Bucks Counties of Pennsylvania through 31 banking offices and provide banking and trust services to the residents and employees of 12 retirement communities and a work site office at Moyer Packing Company. This office serves only to cash payroll checks for the Moyer Packing Company employees. Two new subsidiaries were incorporated on September 8, 1998 in the State of Delaware. Univest Delaware, Inc. and Delview, Inc. were formed as passive investment holding companies. Univest Delaware is wholly owned by the Corporation and Delview is wholly owned by Pennview. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Univest Corporation of Pennsylvania and its wholly owned subsidiaries, including Union National Bank and Trust Company and Pennview Savings Bank, collectively referred to herein as the "Banks." All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Use of Estimates The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Investment Securities Securities are classified as investments and carried at amortized cost if management has the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. Securities purchased with the intention of recognizing short-term profits are placed in the trading account and are carried at market value. Securities not classified as investment or trading are designated securities available for sale and carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income. The net unrealized gain on available-for-sale securities included in accumulated other comprehensive income was $582 at December 31, 1998 and $350 at December 31, 1997. Gains and losses on sales of securities are generally computed on a specific security basis. Loans Loans are stated at the principal amount less net deferred loan fees and unearned discount. Interest income on commercial, consumer, and mortgage loans is recorded on the outstanding balance method, using actual interest rates applied to daily principal balances. Accrual of interest income on loans ceases when collectibility of interest and/or principal is questionable. If it is determined that the collection of interest previously accrued is uncertain, such accrual is reversed and charged to current earnings. Thereafter, income is only recognized as payments are received for loans on which there is no uncertainty as to the collectibility of principal. Loan Fees Fees collected upon loan origination and certain direct costs of originating loans are deferred and recognized over the contractual lives of the related loans as yield adjustments. Upon prepayment or other disposition of the underlying loans before their contractual maturities, any associated unamortized fees or costs are recognized. Derivative Financial Instruments The Corporation uses interest-rate swap agreements to manage the interest-rate characteristics of its floating-rate loan portfolio to a fixed-rate basis. Interest-rate differentials to be paid or received as a result of interest-rate swap agreements are accrued and recognized as an adjustment of interest income related to the designated floating-rate loans. Recorded amounts related to interest-rate swaps are included in other assets or liabilities. The fair values of interest-rate swap agreements are not recognized in the financial statements. Realized and unrealized gains or losses at the time of maturity, termination, sale, or repayment of a derivative contract or designated item are recorded in a manner consistent with the original designation of the derivative in view of the nature of the termination, sale, or 17 -- Univest Corporation of Pennsylvania - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) (dollars in thousands, except share data) repayment transaction. Amounts related to interest-rate swaps are deferred and amortized as an adjustment to interest income over the original period of interest exposure, provided the designated asset continues to exist or is probable of occurring. Realized and unrealized changes in fair value or derivatives designated with items that no longer exist or are no longer probable of occurring are recorded as a component of the gain or loss arising from the disposition of the designated item. Reserve for Possible Loan Losses The reserve for possible loan losses is based on management's evaluation of the loan portfolio under current economic conditions and such other factors which deserve recognition in estimating possible loan losses. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates including the amounts and timing of future cash flows expected to be received on impaired loans that may be susceptible to significant change. Additions to the reserve arise from the provision for loan losses charged to operations or from the recovery of amounts previously charged off. Loan charge-offs reduce the reserve. Loans are charged off when there has been permanent impairment. Certain impaired loans are reported at the present value of expected future cash flows using the loan's initial effective interest rate, or as a practical expedient, at the loan's observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Premises and Equipment Land is stated at cost, and bank premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method and charged to operating expenses over the estimated useful lives of the assets (bank premises and improvements - average life 25 years; furniture and equipment - average life 10 years). Other Real Estate Owned Other real estate owned represents properties acquired through customers' loan defaults, and is included in accrued interest and other assets. The real estate is stated at an amount equal to the loan balance prior to foreclosure, plus costs incurred for improvements to the property, but no more than the fair market value of the property, less estimated costs to sell. Stock Options The Corporation grants stock options for a fixed number of shares to employees with an exercise price equal to the fair value of the shares at the date of grant. The Corporation has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB 25) and related Interpretations in accounting for its employee stock options because the alternative fair value accounting provided for under Financial Accounting Standard No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," (SFAS No. 123) requires use of option valuation models in valuing employee stock options. Under APB 25, because the exercise price of the Company's employee stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized. Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is required by SFAS No. 123. The effect of applying SFAS No. 123 to the Corporation's stock-based awards results in net income and earnings per share that are not materially different from amounts reported. Dividend Reinvestment and Employee Stock Purchase Plans The Univest Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the "Reinvestment Plan") and the 1996 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Purchase Plan") each have 500,000 shares of common stock available for issuance. Employees may elect to make contributions to the Purchase Plan in an aggregate amount not less than 2% nor more than 10% of such employee's total compensation. These contributions are then used to purchase stock during an offering period determined by the Corporation's Administrative Committee. The purchase price of the stock is established by the Administrative Committee provided, however, that the purchase price will not be less than 85% of the lesser of the market price on the first day or last day of the offering period. During 1998 and 1997, 32,160 and 36,134 shares, respectively, were issued under the Reinvestment Plan, with 418,672 shares available for future purchase as of December 31, 1998. During 1998 and 1997, 3,500 and 5,614 shares, respectively, were issued under the Purchase Plan, with 488,284 shares available for future purchase as of December 31, 1998. Income Taxes Deferred income taxes are provided on temporary differences between amounts reported for financial statement and tax purposes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." 18 -- Univest Corporation of Pennsylvania - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) (dollars in thousands, except share data) Intangible Assets Intangible assets, net of accumulated amortization, include goodwill and core deposit intangibles. Goodwill is being amortized on a straight-line basis over a fifteen year period. Core deposit intangibles are being amortized over their estimated useful lives ranging from seven to ten years. At December 31, 1998 the unamortized balance is approximately $3.4 million ($3.8 million at December 31, 1997), net of accumulated amortization of approximately $2.6 million ($2.0 million at December 31, 1997.) Retirement Plan Substantially all employees are covered by a noncontributory retirement plan. The plan provides benefits based on a formula of each participant's final average pay. The amount funded is not more than the maximum amount deductible for federal income tax purposes. In addition, Univest sponsors a 401(k) deferred salary savings plan, which is a qualified defined contribution plan, and which covers all employees of Univest and its subsidiaries, and provides that the Corporation make matching contributions as defined by the plan. Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions The Corporation provides certain postretirement health care and life insurance benefits for retired employees. The Corporation accrues the costs associated with providing these benefits during the active service periods of employees in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions" (SFAS No. 106). Statement of Cash Flows Univest has defined those items included in the caption "Cash and due from banks" as cash and cash equivalents. Trust Assets Assets held by Union in a fiduciary or agency capacity for its customers are not included in the consolidated financial statements since such items are not assets of Union. Trust service income is reported on a cash basis. Reporting such income on a cash basis instead of the accrual basis does not materially affect net income or financial position. Stock Split On January 28, 1998 the Corporation's board of directors declared a 100% stock dividend in the form of a stock split paid on May 1, 1998, to shareholders of record as of April 14, 1998. All share and per share amounts have been retroactively adjusted to give effect to the stock split. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" (SFAS No. 128). SFAS No. 128 replaced the calculation of primary and fully diluted earnings per share with basic and diluted earnings per share. Unlike primary earnings per share, basic earnings per share excludes any dilutive effects of options, warrants, and convertible securities. All earnings per share amounts for all periods have been presented, and where appropriate, restated to conform to the SFAS No. 128 requirements. As of January 1, 1998, the Corporation adopted Statement No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" (SFAS No. 130). SFAS No. 130 establishes new rules for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components. However, the adoption of this Statement had no impact on the Corporation's net income or shareholders' equity. SFAS No. 130 requires unrealized gains or losses on the Corporation's available-for-sale securities which prior to adoption were reported separately in shareholders' equity, to be included in Other Comprehensive Income. Prior year financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the requirement of SFAS No. 130. In June 1997, the FASB issued Statement No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" (SFAS No. 131). This statement became effective in 1998, and had no impact on the Corporation's financial statements because the Corporation is managed as one entity. The FASB has recently issued Statement No. 132, "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits" (SFAS No. 132) which is effective for financial statements issued for periods beginning after December 31, 1997. SFAS No. 132 does not change the recognition or measurement associated with pension or postretirement plans. It standardizes certain disclosures, requires additional information about changes in the benefit obligations and about change in the fair value of plan assets to facilitate analysis, and it eliminates certain disclosures that were not deemed useful. In June 1998, the FASB issued Statement No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (SFAS No. 133), which is required to be adopted in years beginning after June 15, 1999. The Statement will require the Corporation to recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that are not hedges must be adjusted to fair value through income. If the 19 -- Univest Corporation of Pennsylvania - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) (dollars in thousands, except share data) derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of derivatives will either be offset against the change in fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities, or firm commitments through earnings or recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of a derivative's change in fair value will be immediately recognized in earnings. The Corporation has not yet determined what the effect of SFAS No. 133 will be on the earnings and financial position of the Corporation. The FASB has recently issued Statement No. 134, "Accounting for Mortgage-Backed Securities Retained after the Securitization of Mortgage Loans Held for Sale by a Mortgage Banking Enterprise" (SFAS No. 134) which is effective for financial statements issued for the first fiscal quarter beginning after December 15, 1998. SFAS No. 134 is not expected to have an impact on the Corporation's financial statements since the Corporation presently does not securitize mortgage loans. Note 2. Restrictions on Cash and Due from Bank Accounts Union is required to maintain reserve balances with the Federal Reserve Bank. The average amount of those reserve balances for 1998 was $2.1 million and for 1997 was $1.1 million. Note 3. Investment Securities Securities with a market value of $164.7 million and $161.6 million at December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, were pledged to secure public deposits and for other purposes as required by law. The following table shows the amortized cost and approximate market value of the held-to-maturity securities and available-for-sale securities at December 31, 1998 and 1997, by maturity within each type:

Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations without call or prepayment penalties. During the year ended December 31, 1998, available-for-sale debt securities with a fair value at the date of sale of $25,079 were sold ($24,024 in 1997). Gross realized gains on such sales totaled $97 during 1998 ($102 in 1997 and $12 in 1996), and the gross realized losses totaled $0 during 1998 ($7 in 1997 and $21 in 1996). Net unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities included in accumulated other comprehensive income as a separate component of shareholders' equity totaled $582 in 1998 and $350 in 1997. Unrealized losses in investment securities at December 31, 1998 and 1997 do not represent permanent impairments. At December 31, 1998 and 1997, there were no investments in any single non-federal issuer representing more than 10% of shareholders' equity. Note 4. Loans The following is a summary of the major loan categories: December 31, 1998 1997 ------------------------------ Real estate--construction .............. $ 33,530 $ 30,951 Real estate--commercial ................ 169,402 189,251 Real estate--residential ............... 214,798 217,782 Commercial and industrial .............. 171,699 138,812 Loans to individuals ................... 64,306 53,500 All other .............................. 7,117 6,143 ------------------------------ Total loans ............................ 660,852 636,439 Less: Unearned income ..................

These loans have been made in the ordinary course of business on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the same time for comparable transactions with customers and did not involve more than the normal risk of collectibility or present other unfavorable terms. The summary of activity for the past year is as follows:
Balance at Amounts Balance at January 1, 1998 Additions Collected December 31, 1998 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ $9,825 $6,588 $6,607 $9,806
Note 5. Reserve for Possible Loan Losses A summary of the transactions in the reserve for possible loan losses is as follows: 1998 1997 1996 ------------------------------------- Balance at beginning of year .......... $ 10,270 $ 9,801 $ 8,854 Provision charged to operating expenses 958 1,310 1,045 Recoveries ............................ 682 316 1,087 Loans charged off ..................... (1,372) (1,157) (1,185) ------------------------------------- Balance at end of year ................ $ 10,538 $ 10,270 $ 9,801 ===================================== Under Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan" (SFAS No. 114), the reserve for possible loan losses related to loans that are identified for evaluation in accordance with SFAS No. 114 is based on discounted cash flows using the loan's initial effective interest rate or the fair value of collateral for certain collateral-dependent loans. Included in the total impaired loans is $1,310 ($652 at December 31, 1997) against which $627 ($204 at December 31, 1997) of the reserve for possible loan losses is allocated. Statement No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition and Disclosures" (SFAS No. 118) amended SFAS No. 114's income recognition policy and clarifies SFAS No. 114's disclosure requirements. At December 31, 1998, the recorded investment in loans that are considered to be impaired under SFAS No. 114 was $2,715, all of which were on a nonaccrual basis, ($1,197 at December 31, 1997). The average recorded investment in impaired loans during the year ended December 31, 1998 was approximately $2,719 ($2,360 at December 31, 1997). For the year ended December 31, 1998, the Corporation recognized $0 in interest income on those impaired loans ($94 at December 31, 1997). At December 31, 1998, the total of nonaccrual and restructured loans was $2,839 ($2,066 at December 31, 1997). If these loans had been performing in accordance with their contractual terms, additional interest income of $341, $187, and $275 would have been recorded in 1998, 1997, and 1996, respectively. In addition, Pennview had first residential mortgage loans of $710 at December 31, 1998 ($1,276 at December 31, 1997) which were over 90 days delinquent. The total of the real estate owned at December 31, 1998 was $393 ($250 at December 31, 1997). Other expenses for 1996 include costs of $225 associated with the write-down of other real estate owned. No such costs were incurred for the years ended December 31, 1998 or December 31, 1997. Note 6.

A summary of the future minimum rental commitments under noncancelable operating leases net of related sublease revenue is as follows: 1999 - $448; 2000 - $383; 2001- $276; 2002 - $130; 2003 - $96. Rental expense charged to operations was $525, $487, and $350 for 1998, 1997, and 1996 respectively. 22 -- Univest Corporation of Pennsylvania - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) (dollars in thousands, except share data) Note 7. Income Taxes Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The assets and liabilities giving rise to the Corporation's deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 1998 and 1997 are as follows: 1998 1997 --------------------- Deferred tax assets: Loan loss ................................... $3,611 $3,470 Deferred compensation ....................... 237 257 Postretirement benefits ..................... 427 413 --------------------- 4,275 4,140 Deferred tax liabilities: Accretion ................................... 199 284 Retirement plans ............................ 70 214 Depreciation ................................ 191 327 Intangible assets ........................... 312 325 Deferred Income ............................. 320 223 Mark-to-market adjustment ................... 161 73 Other ....................................... 628 473 --------------------- Net deferred tax assets .......................... $2,394 $2,221 ===================== The provision for federal and state income taxes included in the accompanying consolidated statements of income consists of the following: 1998 1997 1996 ---------------------------------------------- Current ............... $ 6,325 $ 6,149 $ 5,147 Deferred .............. (279) (162) (119) ---------------------------------------------- $ 6,046 $ 5,987 $ 5,028 ============================================== The effective tax rates are less than the statutory federal rate of 35% because interest on loans and investment securities of state and political subdivisions is exempt from income tax. Deferred federal income taxes (benefit) arise from timing differences in the recognition of income and expenses for tax and financial reporting purposes. Note 8.

Pension expense for the 401(k) deferred salary savings plan for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997, and 1996 was $263, $243, and $224, respectively. Note 9. Other Postretirement Benefit Plans The Corporation provides certain postretirement health care and life insurance benefits for retired employees. Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions" (SFAS No. 106) establishes the accounting for postretirement benefits. SFAS No. 106 requires that employers accrue the costs associated with providing postretirement benefits during the active service periods of employees. 1998 1997 --------------------- Change in benefit obligation Benefit obligation at beginning of year .............. $ 1,175 $ 1,081 Service cost--benefits earned during the period ...... 22 19 Interest cost on projected benefit obligation ........ 82 78 Actuarial loss ....................................... 171 47 Benefits paid ........................................

Long-Term Incentive Plan The Corporation adopted the 1993 Long-Term Incentive Plan, whereby the Corporation may grant options to employees to purchase up to 500,000 shares of common stock. The plan provides for the issuance of options to purchase common shares at prices not less than 100 percent of the fair market value at the date of option grant. Options are exercisable as to 33 percent of the optioned shares each year from the date of grant for a period not exceeding six years. 322,374 common shares were available for future options at December 31, 1998. Transactions involving the plan are summarized as follows:

Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk and Commitments Loan commitments are made to accommodate the financial needs of the Banks' customers. Standby letters of credit commit the Banks to make payments on behalf of customers when certain specified future events occur. They primarily are issued to support commercial paper, medium- and long-term notes and debentures, including industrial revenue obligations. Historically, substantially all standby letters of credit expire unfunded. Both arrangements have credit risk essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers and are subject to the Banks' normal credit policies. Collateral is obtained based on management's credit assessment of the customer. The Banks offer commercial, mortgage, and consumer credit products to their customers in the normal course of business which are detailed in Note 4. These products represent a diversified credit portfolio and are generally issued to borrowers within the Banks' branch office systems in eastern Pennsylvania. The ability of the customers to repay their credit is, to some extent, dependent upon the economy in the Banks' market areas. The Banks also control their credit risks by limiting the amount of credit to any business, institution, or individual, but as of December 31, 1998, the Banks have identified the due from banks' balance as a significant concentration of credit risk because it contains a balance due from a single depository institution in the amount of $10,560 which is unsecured. Management evaluates the creditworthiness of the institution on at least a quarterly basis in an effort to monitor its credit risk associated with this concentration. The following schedule summarizes the Corporation's off-balance-sheet financial instruments: Contract or Notional Amount --------------- Financial instruments representing credit risk: Commitments to extend credit ............................ $208,952 Standby letters of credit or commercial letters of credit 18,371 Interest rate swaps, notional principal amount .......... 50,000 The Corporation may enter into interest-rate swaps in managing its interest-rate risk. In these swaps, the Corporation agrees to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed- and floating-interest amounts calculated on an agreed-upon notional principal amount. Because the Corporation's interest-earning assets tend to be short-term floating rate instruments while the Corporation's interest-bearing liabilities tend to be longer-term fixed rate instruments, interest-rate swaps in which the Corporation pays a floating rate and receives a fixed rate are used to reduce the impact of changes in interest rates on the Corporation's net interest income. At December 31, 1998 and 1997, $50 million in notional interest-rate swaps were outstanding. The contracts entered into by the Corporation expire as follows: $20 million in notional principal amount in first quarter 1999, $10 million in third quarter 1999, $10 million first quarter and $10 million second quarter 2000. The impact of the interest-rate swaps on net interest income for the year ended December 31, 1998 was a positive $160 and for the year ended December 31, 1997 a positive $74. The Corporation's current credit exposure on swaps is limited to the value of interest-rate swaps that have become favorable to the Corporation. As of December 31, 1998, the market value of interest-rate swaps in a favorable value position was $341. There were no interest-rate swaps with the market value in an unfavorable position. At December 31, 1997, the market value of interest-rate swaps in a favorable position was $119, while the market value of interest-rate swaps in an unfavorable position totaled $4. Credit risk also exists when the counterparty to a derivative contract with an unrealized gain fails to perform according to the terms of the agreement. Note 15. Fair Values of Financial Instruments Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments" (SFAS No. 107), requires all entities to disclose the estimated fair value of its financial instruments whether or not recognized in the balance sheet. For Univest, as for most financial institutions, substantially all of its assets and liabilities are considered financial instruments as defined in SFAS No. 107. Many of the Corporation's financial instruments, however, lack an available trading market as characterized by a willing buyer and willing seller engaging in an exchange transaction. It is also the Corporation's general practice and intent to hold its financial instruments to maturity and not to engage in trading or sales activities other than residential mortgage loans held for sale and those investment securities classified as available for sale. Significant estimations and present value calculations, which are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimate of future cash flows, were used by the Corporation for the purposes of this disclosure. 27 -- Univest Corporation of Pennsylvania - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) (dollars in thousands, except share data) Estimated fair values have been determined by the Corporation using the best available data, and an estimation methodology suitable for each category of financial instruments. For those loans and deposits with floating interest rates, it is presumed that estimated fair values generally approximate the recorded book balances. Various methodologies are described in the accompanying notes. SFAS No. 107 excludes certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of the Corporation. Management is concerned that 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 readily available active secondary market valuations for many of the financial instruments. This lack of uniform valuation methodologies also introduces a greater degree of subjectivity to these estimated fair values. Certain estimated fair values cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent valuation sources and, in many cases, might not be realized in immediate settlement of the instrument. The following table represents the estimates of fair value of financial instruments:
December 31, 1998 December 31, 1997 ------------------------------------------------------------- Carrying or Carrying or Notional/Contract Fair Notional/Contract Fair Amount Value Amount Value ------------------------------------------------------------- Assets: Cash and short-term assets ........... $ 42,651 $ 42,651 $ 40,353 $ 40,353 Investment securities ................ 327,665 328,776 258,165 258,398 Net loans ............................ 649,911 676,903 625,293 626,069 Liabilities: Deposits ............................. $ 874,504 $ 881,755 $ 792,868 $ 793,874 Short-term borrowings ................ 64,045 64,045 49,546 49,546 Long-term debt .......................... 9,075 8,995 9,075 9,075 Off-Balance-Sheet: Commitments to extend credit ......... $ 208,952 (308) 163,011 (196) Letters of credit .................... 18,371 (276) 22,366 (336) Interest-rate swap, notional principal amount ............................. 50,000 341 50,000 115
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Corporation in estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments: Cash and due from banks and short-term investments: The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash and due from banks, time deposits with other banks, and federal funds sold and other short-term investments approximates those assets' fair values. Investment securities (including mortgage-backed securities): Fair values for investment securities are based on quoted market prices. Loans: The fair values for loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using a discount rate consisting of an appropriate risk free rate, as well as components for credit risk, operating expense, and imbedded prepayment options. Deposit liabilities: The fair values for deposits with fixed maturities are estimated by discounting the final maturity, and the fair values for non-maturity deposits are established using a decay factor estimate of cash flows based upon industry-accepted assumptions. The discount rate applied to deposits consists of an appropriate risk free rate, and included components for credit risk, operating expense, and imbedded prepayment options. Short-term borrowings: The carrying amounts of securities sold under repurchase agreements, and other short-term borrowings approximate their fair values. Long-term debt: The fair values of the Corporation's long-term borrowings (other than deposits) are estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis using a discount rate consisting of an appropriate risk free rate, as well as components for credit risk, operating expense, and imbedded prepayment options. Off-balance-sheet instruments: Fair values for the Corporation's off-balance-sheet instruments are based on the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties' credit standing. 28 -- Univest Corporation of Pennsylvania - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) (dollars in thousands, except share data) Note 16. Regulatory Matters The Banks are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory - and possibly additional discretionary - actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Banks' financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Banks must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Banks' assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Banks' capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Banks to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier I capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of December 31, 1998, that the Banks meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject. As of December 31, 1998, the most recent notification from the Office of Comptroller of the Currency and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) categorized the Banks as well-capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well-capitalized, the Banks must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based, and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Banks' category. The Banks' actual capital amounts and ratios are also presented in the table.

Dividend and Other Restrictions The approval of the Office of Comptroller of the Currency is required for a national bank to pay dividends if the total of all dividends declared in any calendar year exceeds the bank's net profits (as defined) for that year combined with its retained net profits for the preceding two calendar years. Under this formula, Union can declare dividends in 1999 without approval of the Office of Comptroller of the Currency of approximately $7,162 plus an additional amount equal to the Bank's net profits for 1999 up to the date of any such dividend declaration. The Federal Reserve Act requires that extension of credit by Union to certain affiliates, including Univest (parent), be secured by readily marketable securities, that extension of credit to any one affiliate be limited to 10% of Union's capital and surplus as defined, and that extensions of credit to all such affiliates be limited to 20% of Union's capital and surplus.

34 -- Univest Corporation of Pennsylvania - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Results of Operations Univest Corporation of Pennsylvania consolidated net income (in thousands) and earnings per share for 1998, 1997, and 1996 were as follows: 1998 1997 1996 --------------------------------------------- Net income .................. $ 14,501 $ 13,177 $ 12,038 Net income per share: Basic ................... 1.92 1.70 1.54 Diluted ................. 1.91 1.69 1.54 1998 versus 1997 The 1998 results compared to 1997 include the following significant pretax components: - Net interest income remained constant due to an increase in average earning assets that was offset by a decrease in average yield and an increase in interest-bearing liabilities with an increase in yield. The net interest margin decreased to 4.3%. - The provision for loan losses decreased $352 thousand or 26.9% due to higher than expected net recoveries which caused a lower fourth quarter provision. - Total other income increased by $2.8 million or 35.4% due to earnings from the purchase of Bank-Owned Life Insurance and increased fee income. - Salaries and benefits increased only $0.2 million or 1.3% aided by outsourcing. - Equipment expense increased $200 thousand or 8.0% primarily as a result of software and equipment expenses needed for Y2K testing. - Other expenses increased $1.3 million or 16.5% partly due to a write-off for Pennview Savings Bank's Franconia office, and internal audit fees, delivery service fees, marketing and advertising, and intangible expenses. 1997 versus 1996 The 1997 results compared to 1996 include the following significant pretax components: - Net interest income rose $1.6 million or 4.1% due to a 4.7% increase in average earning assets. The net interest margin remained constant at 4.7%. - The provisions for loan losses increased $265 thousand or 25.4% due to higher net charge-offs during 1997. - Other income increased by $1.0 million or 47.6% due to earnings from the purchase of Bank-Owned Life Insurance, increased fee income, and a gain on the sale of a closed branch office building. - Salaries and benefits increased $1.0 million or 6.9% due to staff additions directly tied to the opening of 4 new branch locations, and normal salary increases. - Net occupancy expense increased $105 thousand or 5.1% due to the addition of several branch locations in 1997 and 1996. - Other expenses decreased $270 thousand or 3.3% mainly due to a one-time special assessment of $800 thousand paid by Pennview Savings Bank in 1996 to recapitalize the Savings Association Insurance Fund, and offset by increases in marketing, consulting, and ATM expenses during 1997. Net Interest Income Net interest income is the difference between interest earned on loans, investments and other interest-earning assets and interest paid on deposits and other interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income is the principal source of the Corporation's revenues. The following table demonstrates a trend of increasing amounts for 1996 through 1998. Sensitivities associated with the mix of assets and liabilities are numerous and very complex, thus the Corporation commits significant time to maximizing the net interest margin. The Asset/Liability Management and Investment Committees, along with the Funds Management Department, work to implement strategies with the intent and effort to at least maintain or improve the net interest margin. The investment portfolio is and has been primarily short-term in nature, resulting in frequent repricing opportunities for Univest over the three (3) year period analyzed in this report. It is important to again underscore the complexities associated with asset/liability pricing noting the competition within the marketplace that can dramatically impact the margin results. For this reason, as we look to the future, it must be understood that an improving or increasing net interest income is not certain. 35 -- Univest Corporation of Pennsylvania - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued) The following table presents a summary of Univest's average balances, the yields earned on average assets, the cost of average liabilities, and shareholders' equity for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997, and 1996:

Interest Income Interest and fees on loans increased 0.6% or $0.3 million from the $54.3 million recorded for the year ended December 31, 1997 as compared to the $54.6 million for the year ended December 31, 1998. The increase due to increased volume was offset by a decrease in rate. The prime rate decreased from the 8.50% at January 1, 1998 to 8.25% in September, 8.00% in October and 7.75% in November 1998, reducing the average interest yield on the portfolio from 8.7% in 1997 to 8.4% 1998. Interest and fees on loans increased $2.3 million or 4.4% when comparing the $54.3 million for 1997 to the $52.0 million for 1996. This increase was due to increased volume. Although the prime rate increased from 8.25% at January 1, 1997 to 8.50% in March 1997, the average interest yield on the portfolio remained constant at 8.7% for the year ended December 31, 1997. Tax-free interest shows an increasing trend when comparing the $2.4 million for December 31, 1998 with the $2.0 million recorded for December 31, 1997 and the $1.9 million for December 31, 1996. Interest on U.S. Government obligations decreased from $12.3 million for the year ended December 31, 1997 to $11.6 million at December 31, 1998. The decrease was due to decreases in both volume and rate. Interest on government obligations decreased from $13.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1996 to $12.3 million at December 31, 1997. The decrease was due to decreases in both volume and rate. Interest and dividends on state and political subdivisions shows an increasing trend from $172 thousand in 1996 to $219 thousand in 1997 and $307 thousand in 1998. Volumes grew in each of the periods. 36 -- Univest Corporation of Pennsylvania - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued) The other securities category consists mainly of U.S. Government Agency obligations. Income on other securities has grown from $1.1 million in 1996 to $2.4 million in 1997 and $4.4 million in 1998. The increases were all due to increased volume, especially in 1998 when average balances increased from $36.5 million for 1997 to $67.6 million for 1998. Interest on federal funds sold is the resulting daily investment activity that can be volatile in both rate and volume. Interest on federal funds sold increased from $223 thousand in 1997 to $988 thousand in 1998 due to both increased volume and rate. Included in this amount is $274 thousand of interest on long term federal funds sold. Investment in long term federal funds sold was for a five month period in the last half of the year. Income increased from $220 thousand in 1996 to $223 thousand in 1997 due to increased volume offset by decreased yield. Interest Expense Interest expense on demand deposits increased 77.8% or $2.8 million from $3.6 million in 1997 to $6.4 million in 1998. The growth was attributed to volume and rate increases in certain types of money market accounts. Interest on demand deposits increased 28.6% or $800 thousand from $2.8 million in 1996 to $3.6 million in 1997. The increase was due to volume and rate. Interest expense in savings deposits remained stable at $3.2 million when comparing years ended December 31, 1998, 1997, and 1996. Interest expense on time deposits remained a constant $19.8 million for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997. Interest expense on time deposits increased from $19.6 million in 1996 to $19.8 million in 1997, an increase of $200 thousand. The increase was due to slightly higher average balances. Interest expense - all other consists of interest paid on short-term borrowings such as federal funds purchased, the corporate line of credit, repurchase agreements and treasury tax and loan deposit. In addition, Union National Bank offers an automated cash management checking account that sweeps funds daily into a repurchase agreements account. Interest expense remained constant at $1.9 million for 1998 and 1997 due to increasing volumes offset by decreasing rates. Interest expense increased to $1.9 million in 1997 from $1.7 million in 1996. Increase was due to higher volumes and yields on short-term purchased funds. Long-Term Debt Interest on long-term debt increased from $425 thousand at December 31, 1997 to $500 thousand at December 31, 1998. This increase represents a full year of interest on the additional $2.0 million borrowed from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh by Union late in 1997. Interest on long-term debt increased from $358 thousand in 1996 to $425 thousand in 1997 due to an increase of $2.0 million in borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh by Union during 1997. Reserve For Possible Loan Losses Management believes the reserve for possible loan losses is maintained at a level which is adequate to absorb potential losses in the loan portfolio. Management's methodology to determine the adequacy of and the provisions to the reserve considers specific credit reviews, past loan loss experience, current economic conditions and trends, and the volume, growth, and composition of the loan portfolio. The reserve for possible loan losses is determined through a periodic evaluation which takes into consideration the growth of the loan portfolio, the status of past-due loans, current economic conditions, various types of lending activity, policies, real estate and other loan commitments, and significant changes in the charge-off activity. Loans are also reviewed for impairment based on discounted cash flows using the loans' initial effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral for certain collateral dependent loans as provided for under SFAS No. 114. Any of the above criteria may cause the provision to fluctuate. The provision for loan losses for the year ended December 31, 1998 was $1.0 million as compared to $1.3 million for 1997 and $1.0 million for 1996. Due to higher than expected recoveries in the fourth quarter of 1998, no provision was made for Union. The ratio of the reserve for possible loan losses to total loans at December 31, 1998 and 1997 was 1.6%. At December 31, 1998, the recorded investment in loans that are considered to be impaired under SFASNo. 114 was $2.7 million, all of which were on a nonaccrual basis. The related reserve for possible loan losses for those loans was $627 thousand. At December 31, 1997, the recorded investment in loans considered to be impaired was $1.2 million and the related reserve for possible loan losses for those loans was $204 thousand. Due to a changing economic environment and increased competition on small businesses, the addition of approximately nine accounts resulted in this 1998 increase. 37 -- Univest Corporation of Pennsylvania - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued) Generally, when a loan (including a loan impaired under SFAS No. 114) is classified as nonaccrual, the accrual of interest on such a loan is discontinued. A loan is classified as nonaccrual when the contractual payment of principal or interest has become 90 days past due or management has serious doubts about the further collectibility of principal or interest, even though the loan is currently performing. A loan may remain on accrual status if it is in the process of collection and is either guaranteed or well-secured. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, unpaid interest credited to income in the current year is reversed and unpaid interest accrued in prior years is charged against "other expense." Interest received on nonaccrual loans generally is either applied against principal or reported as interest income, according to management's judgment as to the collectibility of principal. Generally, loans are restored to accrual status when the obligation is brought current, has performed in accordance with the contractual terms for a reasonable period of time, and the ultimate collectibility of the total contractual principal and interest is no longer in doubt. Total cash basis, restructured and nonaccrual loans at December 31, 1998 total $3.5 million (versus $3.3 million at December 31, 1997 and $5.0 million at December 31, 1996) and consist mainly of real estate-related commercial loans. For the year ended December 31, 1998, nonaccrual loans resulted in lost interest income of $341 thousand as compared to $187 thousand in 1997 and $275 thousand in 1996. In management's evaluation of the loan portfolio risks, any significant future increases in nonperforming loans are dependent to a large extent on the economic environment, or specific industry problems. The Corporation's ratio of nonperforming assets to total loans was .59% as of December 31, 1998 and .57% as of December 31, 1997. During the first quarter of 1998, the Office of Comptroller of the Currency completed a safety and soundness examination at Union National Bank, the Corporation's subsidiary commercial bank. The dollar value of identified potential problem loans was not revised significantly as a result of the examination. Examination procedures require individual judgments about the borrower's ability to repay loans, sufficiency of collateral values, and the effects of changing economic circumstances. The procedures are similar to those employed by the Corporation in determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses and in classifying loans. Judgments made by regulatory examiners may differ from those made by management. Pennview Savings Bank was not examined during 1998. At December 31, 1998, the Corporation has $393 thousand of Other Real Estate Owned ("OREO") consisting of three commercial properties and two residential properties. This amount is recorded in "Other Assets" at the lower of cost or fair market value in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. At December 31, 1997, the Corporation had $250 thousand in OREO. Included in other operating expense in the consolidated statements of income for the year ended December 31, 1996 were adjustments of $225 thousand, to the carrying value of OREO, to approximate net realizable value. There were no such adjustments during 1997 or 1998. Noninterest Income Trust income continues to be a major source of noninterest income, generating income for the year ended December 31, 1998 of $3.2 million which was $500 thousand or 18.5% more than the $2.7 million reported for year ended December 31, 1997 versus an increase of 17.4% or $400 thousand from 1996 to 1997. The increases are attributed to higher market values of assets under management and growth in the number of trust accounts. Service charges on demand deposits increased $1.1 million from $1.9 million at December 31, 1997 to $3.0 million at December 31, 1998. The increase was due mainly to increases in various transaction fees and deposit service fees. Service charges for the year ended December 31, 1997 increased $100 thousand from $1.8 million for the year ended December 31, 1996 to $1.9 million for the year ended December 31, 1997. Other income which is noninterest related consists mainly of general fee income and other miscellaneous nonrecurring types of income. It also includes various types of service charges, such as ATM fees and increases in the cash surrender value of Bank-Owned Life Insurance (BOLI). Other noninterest income of $4.1 million for 1998 is $1.0 million or 32.3% greater than the $3.1 million earned in 1997. The increase is due to a $570 thousand increase in the net cash surrender value of a $15.0 million Bank-Owned Life Insurance Policy and approximately $400 thousand of increased fee income. The 1997 income of $3.1 million is 47.6% or $1.0 million greater than the $2.1 million shown for 1996. The increase is attributed to a $300 thousand increase in the net cash surrender value of a $15.0 million Bank-Owned Life Insurance Policy, a nonrecurring gain on the sale of a closed branch office building, and a nonrecurring gain on the sale of a piece of commercial real estate which was being held in OREO. These gains, which totaled $230 thousand along with approximately $500 thousand of increased fee income, further explains the increase. Asset Sales Sales of mortgage loans during the year ended December 31, 1998 resulted in a pretax gain of $250 thousand as compared to a gain of $95 thousand for the year ended December 31, 1997. The increase results from increased sales due to decreasing long-term interest rates during 1998 which resulted in a large number of refinances. The Corporation currently sells all long-term fixed-rate 38 -- Univest Corporation of Pennsylvania - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued) conforming residential mortgage loans with terms in excess of twenty (20) years. For the year ended December 31, 1997, sales of mortgage loans provided a pretax gain of $95 thousand as compared to a gain of $43 thousand for the year ended December 31, 1996. The increase results from decreasing long-term interest rates during 1997. During 1998, securities totaling approximately $25.0 million were sold from the available-for-sale portfolio or matured, resulting in a net gain of $97 thousand. Treasury securities were sold to purchase agency securities and therefore take advantage of the higher spreads between agency and treasuries in the market. In 1997, securities totaling approximately $39.0 million were sold from the available-for-sale portfolio at a net gain of $95 thousand. In 1996, securities totaling approximately $11.0 million were sold from the available-for-sale portfolio at a net loss of $9 thousand. Except for the $15.0 million of securities sold in 1997 to fund the purchase of Bank-Owned Life Insurance, all other sales and maturities proceeds provided yield enhancement or extended maturities. The total of debt and equity securities held in the available-for-sale portfolio as of December 31, 1998 is $111.3 million versus $116.2 million at December 31, 1997. The accumulated other comprehensive income of $582 thousand, net of taxes, has been credited to shareholders' equity as of December 31, 1998. Noninterest Expense The operating costs of the Corporation are known as other expenses, and include, but are not limited to, salaries and benefits, equipment expense, and occupancy costs. Expense control is very important to the management of the Corporation, and every effort is made to contain and minimize the growth of operating expenses, attempting to provide technological innovation whenever practical, as operations change or expand. Salaries and benefits increased $0.2 million or 1.3% from $15.5 million in 1997 to $15.7 million in 1998. The small increase is offset in part to outsourcing several departments including internal audit and delivery services. Salaries and benefits also increased 6.9% or $1.0 million from $14.5 million in 1996 to $15.5 million in 1997. The increases were due to normal salary and staff increases and the opening of four additional offices during 1997. Net occupancy expense remained constant at $2.2 million for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997. Net occupancy increased 4.7% or $100 thousand from $2.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1996 to $2.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1997. The increases were due to the opening of four additional offices in 1997 and three in 1996. Equipment expense increased $200 thousand or 8.0% from $2.5 million in 1997 to $2.7 million in 1998. Increased software expense due to Year 2000 testing is the primary reason for the increase. Equipment expense increased 4.2% from $2.4 million in 1996 to $2.5 million in 1997, an increase of $100 thousand. The increase in 1997 was due to the four additional offices, while the 1996 increase was due to the new branches plus new hardware and software for the conversion to a new computer system. Other expenses of $9.2 million increased $1.3 million or 16.5% for the year ended December 31, 1998 as compared to $7.9 million expense for 1997. This increase was due to increases in several expense areas. The largest was a write-off for Pennview Savings Bank's Franconia office. Audit fees and delivery service fees increased $125 thousand and $140 thousand, respectively, due to outsourcing. Increases in other expenses such as marketing and advertising, fees expenses, and intangible expenses explain the remaining increases . Other expenses of $7.9 million decreased $300 thousand or 3.7% for the year ended December 31, 1997 as compared to $8.2 million expense for 1996. This decrease was mainly due to the decrease of $800 thousand representing the one-time SAIF special assessment paid by Pennview Savings Bank in 1996. This decrease was offset by increases in other expenses such as marketing, consulting, and ATM fees. Cautionary Statement for the Purposes of the "Safe Harbor" Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 The discussion regarding the Corporation's preparedness for Year 2000 as discussed in the following section entitled "Year 2000" contains certain forward-looking statements (as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995). These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties including changes in the Corporations' ability to execute its plan to address the Year 2000 issue, and the ability of third parties to effectively address their Year 2000 issues. The Corporation wishes to advise readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements which reflect Management's analysis only as of the date hereof. Although the Corporation believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in these forward-looking statements. Year 2000 Readiness Disclosures The Year 2000 (Y2K) issue is the result of computer programs that were written using two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Any of the Corporation's computer programs or hardware that have date sensitive software or embedded chips may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather that the year 2000. This could result in a system failure or miscalculations causing disruptions in operations, including, among other things, a temporary inability to process transactions, or engage in normal business activities. 39 -- Univest Corporation of Pennsylvania - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued) A Year 2000 Committee was established in 1997 and formed a plan to resolve the Y2K issues in the following four phases: assessments, remediation, testing, and implementation. The Committee has inventoried software, identified hardware and contracts with external vendors, and reviewed insurance issues. The Corporation has fully completed the assessment phase related to Y2K issues as it relates to the Corporation's hardware and software applications. The Corporation's assessment indicated that most of the significant information technology systems, particularly the general ledger and subsidiary applications including loans, deposits, payroll and trust systems could be affected. All of these software applications are licensed from vendors and run on hardware operated by the Corporation. These vendors have represented that such applications are Y2K compliant. Testing of these software applications is fully completed with satisfactory results, and programs remediated where necessary. Testing of the Corporation's computer hardware is complete and determined to be Y2K compliant. Any changes to software or any new software will be Y2K tested before the software is made operational. The Corporation's contingency plans include self-remediation of licensed software, manual workarounds, and the use of outsourcing alternatives in the case of the payroll application. The assessment also indicated that certain internally developed programs were affected by the Y2K issue. Such programs have been remedied, tested and successfully implemented. Additionally, the Corporation has completed the assessment of the potential effects on the Corporation related to its commercial customers' preparedness for Y2K. Specifically, the Corporation is subject to the risk of loss of customer deposits and customers' inability to meet contracted loan obligations in the event customers experience disruptions in their operations and experience loss of business and liquidity problems. The results of this assessment enable the Corporation to more closely monitor those higher risk customers so as to promptly determine the possible effects on the Corporation's liquidity and loan loss reserves. The inability of customers to complete their Y2K resolution process in a timely manner could materially impact the Corporation. In early 1999, the Corporation will conduct external testing with third parties, including ATMs, major customers, other financial institutions and payment systems providers. This testing is expected to be completed by June 30, 1999. The total cost of the Y2K project cost is estimated at $400 thousand. To date, the Corporation has incurred approximately $209 thousand, all of which has been expensed. The remaining $191 thousand will be expensed as incurred. Management believes it has an effective program in place to resolve the Y2K issue in a timely manner. Failure to complete the project as herein described may have a negative impact on our ability to effectively serve our customers. In this event, the Corporation may experience the loss of customers, strain on liquidity and a material negative effect on the results of operations. Management of the Corporation believes that our readiness program will be completed and if any need to rely on contingency plans arises, the impact will not have a material financial impact on the Corporation. However, there can be no guarantee that the estimates to complete the Y2K project or the contingency plans will be achieved and actual results could differ from those anticipated. Tax Provision The provision for income taxes was $6.0 million for the year ended December 31, 1998 and $6.0 million for the year ended December 31, 1997 and $5.0 million for the year ended December 31, 1996. The provision for income taxes for 1998, 1997, and 1996 was at effective rates of 29.4%, 31.2%, and 29.4%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 1996 reflects the recognition of $200 thousand of tax benefits for a tax refund received by Pennview Savings Bank. In addition, the effective tax rate reflects the benefits of tax credits generated from investments in low-income housing tax projects and tax-free income from investment of securities, loans, and bank-owned life insurance. Financial Condition During 1998, total assets increased to $1,070.5 million, an increase of $97.3 million or 10.0% over the $973.2 million in 1997. Investment securities increased $69.5 million to $327.7 million as compared to the $258.2 million at December 31, 1997. Federal funds sold increased $10.7 million to $12.7 million as compared to the $2.0 million at December 31, 1997. Total loans increased by $24.8 million from $635.6 million at December 31, 1997 to $660.4 million at December 31, 1998. Total deposits grew from $792.9 million at December 31, 1997 to $874.5 million at December 31, 1998, an increase of $81.6 million. Deposit growth was due mainly to increased activity in certain types of money market accounts paying higher rates. Shareholders' equity decreased $1.4 million or 1.3% to $103.2 million at December 31, 1998 compared to $104.6 million at December 31, 1997. The main reason was increased activity in treasury stock purchases which increased to $14.6 million from $3.6 million at December 31, 1997. On November 26, 1997, the Board of Directors approved the continuation of the Buyback Program for another two years. This approval allows the Corporation to buy back up to 5% or approximately 385,000 shares of its outstanding common stock in open market or negotiated transactions. The net number of shares purchased since November 1997 is 293,413. 40 -- Univest Corporation of Pennsylvania - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued) Asset/Liability Management, Liquidity The primary functions of Asset/Liability Management are to assure adequate liquidity while maintaining an appropriate balance between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Liquidity management involves the ability to meet cash flow requirements of customers. Interest-rate sensitivity management seeks to avoid fluctuating net interest margins and to enhance consistent growth of net interest income through periods of changing rates. Univest uses both GAP and simulation techniques to quantify its exposure to interest rate risk. The Company uses GAP techniques to identify and monitor long term rate exposure and uses a simulation model to measure the short term rate exposures. The Company runs various earnings simulation scenarios to quantify the effect of declining or rising interest rates on the net interest margin over a one year horizon. The simulation uses existing portfolio rate and repricing information, combined with assumptions regarding future loan and deposit growth, future spreads, prepayments on residential mortgages, and the discretionary pricing of non-maturity assets and liabilities. The Corporation is permitted to use interest-rate swap agreements which convert a portion of its floating-rate commercial loans to a fixed-rate basis, thus reducing the impact of interest changes on future income. In these swaps, the Corporation agrees to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed and floating-interest amounts calculated on an agreed-upon notional principal amount. Because the Corporation's interest-earning assets tend to be short-term floating rate instruments while the Corporation's interest-bearing liabilities tend to be longer-term fixed rate instruments, interest-rate swaps in which the Corporation pays a floating rate and receives a fixed rate are used to reduce the impact of changes in interest rates on the Corporation's net interest income. At December 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997, $50.0 million in notional interest-rate swaps were outstanding. The contracts entered into by the Corporation expire as follows: $20.0 million in notional principal amount in first quarter 1999, $10.0 million in notional principal amount in third quarter 1999, $10.0 million in first quarter 2000 and $10.0 million in second quarter 2000. The impact of the interest-rate swaps on net interest income for the year ended December 31, 1998 was a positive $160 thousand and for the year ended December 31, 1997 a positive $74 thousand. The Corporation's current credit exposure on swaps is limited to the value of interest-rate swaps that have become favorable to the Corporation. As of December 31, 1998, the market value of interest-rate swaps in a favorable value position was $341 thousand. There were no interest-rate swaps with the market value in an unfavorable position. At December 31, 1997, the market value of interest-rate swaps in a favorable position was $119 thousand, while the market value of interest-rate swaps in an unfavorable position totaled $4 thousand. Credit risk also exists when the counterparty to a derivative contract with an unrealized gain fails to perform according to the terms of the agreement. Capital Adequacy Shareholders' equity at December 31, 1998 was $103.2 million or 9.6% of total assets compared to shareholders' equity of $104.6 million or 10.8% as of December 31, 1997. At December 31, 1998, shareholders' equity includes accumulated other comprehensive income of $582 thousand related to the unrealized security gains, net of taxes on investment securities available for sale, while shareholders' equity at December 31, 1997 includes accumulated other comprehensive income of $350 thousand. Capital guidelines which banking regulators have adopted assign minimum capital requirements for categories of assets depending on their assigned risks. The components of risk-based capital are: Tier I, which is composed of total shareholders' equity, excluding the adjustment for the unrealized securities gains and losses, and also excluding any goodwill; and Tier II, which also includes the applicable portion of the reserve for possible loan losses and applicable adjustment for subordinated debt. Minimum acquired Tier II total risk-based capital is 8.0%. Under the requirements, Univest has Tier I capital ratios of 12.3% and 14.1 %, and total risk-based capital ratios of 13.4% and 15.2 % at December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. These ratios place Univest in the "well-capitalized" category under regulatory standards. Market Risk When used or incorporated by reference in disclosure documents, the words "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "project," "target," "goal" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements within the meaning of section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933. Such forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including those set forth below. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated, expected or projected. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of the 41 -- Univest Corporation of Pennsylvania - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued) document. The Corporation expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to publicly release any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement contained herein to reflect any change in the Corporation's expectations with regard thereto to any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based. Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and rates. In the course of its lending and deposit taking activities, Univest is subject to changes in the economic value and/or earnings potential of these assets and liabilities due to changes in interest rates. Univest's Asset/Liability Management Committee (ALMC) manages interest rate risk in a manner so as to provide adequate and predictable earnings. This is accomplished through the establishment of policy limits on maximum risk exposures, as well as the regular and timely monitoring of reports designed to quantify risk and return levels. Univest uses both GAP and simulation techniques to quantify its exposure to interest rate risk. The company uses GAP techniques to identify and monitor long term rate exposure and uses a simulation model to measure the short term rate exposures. The company runs various earnings simulation scenarios to quantify the effect of declining or rising interest rates on the net interest margin over a 1 year horizon. The simulation uses existing portfolio rate and repricing information, combined with assumptions regarding future loan and deposit growth, future spreads, prepayments on residential mortgages, and the discretionary pricing of non-maturity assets and liabilities. The Corporation is permitted to use interest-rate swaps and interest-rate caps/floors with indices that correlate to on-balance sheet instruments, to modify its indicated net interest sensitivity to levels deemed to be appropriate based on the Corporation's current economic outlook. The effect of the interest rate swaps that the bank uses to reduce its earnings volatility due to rate risk is also included in the results of the simulation. At December 31, 1998, the simulation, based upon forward-looking assumptions, projects that Univest's greatest interest margin exposure to interest-rate risk would occur if interest rates decline from present levels. Given the assumptions, a 200 basis point parallel shift in the yield curve applied on a ramp-down basis would cause Unvivest's interest margin, over a 1-year horizon, to be approximately 1% less than it would be if market rates would remain unchanged. The simulation shows that, while the Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis below shows a liability sensitive position at 1 year, after projected loan prepayments, varying degrees of rate sensitivity between assets and liabilities classified as rate sensitive, and future loan and deposit growth assumptions are factored in, Univest is slightly more susceptible to a 200 basis point decrease in rates than to a 200 basis point increase in rates. Policy limits have been established which allow a tolerance for no more than approximately a 3.5% negative impact to the interest margin resulting from a 200 basis point parallel yield curve shift over a forward looking 12-month period.
