(the “Bank”). The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which are of a normal recurring nature and are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of the results and condition for the interim periods presented. Operating results for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2005. It is suggested that these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the registrant’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, which has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Note 4. Stock-Based Compensation

The Corporation grants stock options 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 the intrinsic value method of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”) and related Interpretations in accounting for its employee stock options. The Corporation originally choose not to adopt SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based-Compensation” (“FAS No. 123”), which was revised in December 2004 and will require mandatory adoption beginning fiscal year 2006 as discussed under “Recent Accounting Pronouncements” in Note 8. The Corporation has adopted SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based-Compensation Transition and Disclosure” (“SFAS No. 148”). The following table provides a pro forma presentation of the effects that such an election would have on income and earnings per share. Under APB 25, no compensation expense is recognized because the exercise price of the Corporation’s employee stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant.

Had compensation expense for stock option awards been determined consistent with SFAS No. 123, net income and earnings per share would be reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated as follows:

Note 6. FASB Interpretation No. 45 ("FIN 45"), "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure
Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others."

Standby letters of credit commit the Bank 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. The approximate term is usually one year but some can be up to five years. Historically, substantially all standby letters of credit expire unfunded. The maximum potential amount of future payments under the guarantee is $59.6 million. The current carrying amount of the contingent obligation as of September 30, 2005 is $87 thousand.

This arrangement has credit risk essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers and is subject to the Bank's normal credit policies. Collateral is obtained based on management's credit assessment of the customer.

The Corporation previously disclosed in its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004, that it expected to contribute or make non-qualified payments of $510 thousand to its retirement plans and $90 thousand to its other postretirement benefit plans in 2005. As of September 30, 2005, $375 thousand and $67 thousand have been contributed to its retirement plans and other postretirement plans, respectively. The Corporation presently anticipates contributing essentially an equal payment for the remaining quarter in 2005 to fund the retirement plan and other postretirement plans.

Note 8.  SFAS 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.”

During the third quarter of 2005, the Corporation entered into an interest-rate swap agreement that converts a portion of its floating rate commercial loans to a fixed rate basis. Under this swap agreement, the Corporation agrees to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed and floating-interest rates calculated on an agreed upon notional principal amount. This interest-rate swap, in which the Corporation pays a floating rate and receives a fixed rate, is to hedge the variable rate interest cash flows on a rolling portfolio of prime-based floating rate loans in the Bank’s commercial loan portfolio against changes in the prime rate. At December 31, 2004 that Corporation had no swaps outstanding.

At September 30, 2005, the total notional amount of the “Pay Floating, Receive Fixed” swap outstanding was $20.0 million. The net payable or receivable from the interest-rate swap agreement is accrued as an adjustment to interest income. The $20.0 million in notional amount of interest-rate swap outstanding expires on November 2, 2006.

The impact of the interest-rate swap on net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was a positive $18 thousand. The Corporation’s credit exposure on swaps is limited to the value of interest-rate swaps that have become favorable to the Corporation. Credit risk would exist because the counterparty to a derivative contract with an unrealized gain might fail to perform according to the terms of the agreement. As of September 30, 2005, the market value of the interest-rate swap was in an unfavorable position of $45 thousand and there were no interest-rate swaps with a market value in a favorable position.


Note 9.  Recent Accounting Pronouncements 

In December 2004 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) revised Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123r”). SFAS 123r required that the fair-value-based method of accounting for stock options be used for all public entities and eliminates alternative accounting methods; consequently, similar economic transactions will be accounted for in the same manner. Entities are required to estimate the number of instruments for which the requisite service is expected to be rendered as compared to the original statement which permitted entities to account for forfeitures as they occur. In addition, SFAS 123r amends SFAS No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows,” to require that excess tax benefits be reported as a financing cash inflow rather than as a reduction of taxes paid. Incremental compensation cost for a modification of the terms or conditions of an award is measured by comparing the fair value of the modified award with the fair value of the award immediately before the modification. On April 14, 2005 the Securities and Exchange Commission amended the compliance dates for SFAS 123r. Under the amended compliance dates, SFAS 123r becomes effective for public entities that do not file as small business issuers, as of the beginning of the first fiscal reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005. SFAS 123r applies to all awards granted after the required effective date and to awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled after that date. As of the required effective date, all public entities that used the fair-value-based method for either recognition or disclosure under the original statement will apply SFAS 123r using a modified version of prospective application. Under that transition method, compensation cost is recognized on or after the required effective date for the portion of outstanding awards for which the requisite service has not yet been rendered, based on the grant-date fair value of those awards calculated under the original statement for either recognition or pro forma disclosures. For periods before the required effective date, those entities may elect to apply a modified version of retrospective application under which financial statements for prior periods are adjusted on a basis consistent with the pro forma disclosures required for those periods by the original statement. Pro forma disclosures under the original statement are presented in Note 4 “Stock-Based Compensation.” The Corporation does not anticipate recording expense significantly different than what is presented in Note 4. Actual stock-based compensation expense, net of tax, to be recorded in the fiscal year 2006 under the transition method will be approximately $96 thousand. Future grants, unvested forfeitures of prior grants and unrecognizable deferred tax benefits may alter this projected number.

- 7 -

On March 1, 2005, the Federal Reserve Board adopted a final rule that allows the continued limited inclusion of trust preferred securities in the tier 1 capital of bank holding companies. The final rule became effective on April 11, 2005 for quarterly reporting periods beginning after July 1, 2005 and impacts the calculation of risk-based capital ratios. The final rule limits restricted core capital to 25 percent of all core capital elements, net of goodwill less any associated deferred tax liabilities. Amounts of restricted core capital elements in excess of these limits generally may be included in tier 2 capital under quantitative limits which will be transitioned over a five-year period ending March 31, 2009. Under the new rule, the requirement for trust preferred securities to include a call option has been eliminated and standards for the junior subordinated debt underlying trust preferred securities eligible for tier 1 capital have been clarified. The Corporation’s trust preferred securities amount to less than the 25 percent limitation for tier 1 capital and none would be subject to the tighter quantitative limits of tier 2 capital under the new rule. The Corporation does not anticipate a material change in its risk-based capital ratios as a result of this new rule.

In May 2005, the FASB issued Statement No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections - a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3” (“SFAS 154”.) SFAS 154 changes the accounting for and reporting of a voluntary change in accounting principle and replaces ABP Opinion No. 20, “Accounting Changes” and FASB Statement No. 3, “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements.” Under Opinion No. 20, most changes in accounting principle were reported in the income statement of the period of change as a cumulative adjustment. However, under SFAS 154, a voluntary change in accounting principle must be shown retrospectively in the financial statements, if practicable, for all periods presented. In cases where retrospective application is impracticable, an adjustment to the assets, liabilities and a corresponding adjustment to retained earnings can be made as of the beginning of the earliest period for which retrospective application is practicable rather than being reported in the income statement. FAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years after December 15, 2005, although earlier application is permitted for changes and corrections made in fiscal years beginning after June 1, 2005.

General

Univest Corporation of Pennsylvania, (the “Corporation”), is a Financial Holding Company. It owns all of the capital stock of Univest National Bank and Trust Co. (the “Bank”), Univest Realty Corporation, Univest Delaware, Inc., and Univest Reinsurance Corporation.

The Bank is engaged in the general commercial banking business and provides a full range of banking services and trust services to its customers. Delview, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Bank, provides various financial services including financial planning, investment management, insurance products and brokerage services to individuals and businesses through its subsidiaries Univest Investments, Inc. and Univest Insurance, Inc.

On March 23, 2005 the Corporation declared a three-for-two split in the form of a 50 percent stock dividend which was distributed on April 29, 2005. All per share data has been retroactively adjusted to give effect to this stock split.

Executive Overview

The Corporation recorded net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 of $18.5 million, a 9.1% increase over the September 30, 2004 period. Basic net income per share increased 8.3% while diluted net income per share increased 10.1%.

Average earning assets increased $48.8 million and average interest-bearing liabilities increased $27.6 million when comparing the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004. Increased rates on commercial business loans and volume increases in commercial and construction real estate loans, partially offset by increased rates on money market savings, contributed to a $2.3 million increase in net interest income. The net interest margin increased slightly to 3.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, compared to 3.7% for the same period in 2004. On a tax-equivalent basis, the net interest margin also increased slightly to 4.0% for nine months ended September 30, 2005, compared to 3.9% for the same period in 2004.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2004 approximately $47.5 million of primarily mortgage-backed securities were sold for a net gain of $831 thousand. These securities were primarily fixed-rate U. S. Government agency mortgage-backed securities and were sold to shorten the duration of the investment portfolio to position it for a possible rise in market interest rates. These sales were offset by purchases of shorter-term U. S. Government agency bonds to cover the collateral needs of the seasonal increase in public funds, due to the collection of school-district-related real estate taxes. In the nine months ended September 30, 2005, approximately $1.5 million in U. S. Government treasuries, $1.2 million in Municipals and $7.3 million in U.S. Government Agencies were sold for a net gain of $150 thousand. In June 2004, the Corporation sold its Hatfield banking office for a gain of $196 thousand. During the second quarter of 2005, the Corporation closed two supermarket banking offices and retired other long-lived assets replaced by the new Kulpsville branch at a net loss of $215 thousand. These decreases in non-interest income were partially offset by increases in service charges on deposits, insurance commissions and trust fee income.

Salary and benefits increased by $421 thousand primarily due to the bonus accrual as management expects to meet 2005 planned income. Net occupancy expense increased due to increased rents during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 over the same period in 2004 and an operating lease termination penalty of $89 thousand recorded in 2005. Other expenses decreased primarily due to bank shares tax overpayments and credits, and reductions in loss contingency reserves. These decreases were partially offset by increases in legal fees associated with loan work-outs and advertising expenses.

The Corporation earns its revenues primarily from the margins and fees it generates from the loan and depository services it provides as well as from trust fees and insurance and investment commissions. The Corporation seeks to achieve adequate and reliable earnings by growing its business while maintaining adequate levels of capital and liquidity and limiting its exposure to credit and interest rate risk to Board approved levels. As interest rates increase, fixed-rate assets that banks hold will tend to decrease in value while the margin impact will vary from bank to bank based upon the structure of its balance sheet. The Corporation maintains a relatively low interest rate risk profile and does not anticipate that an increase in interest rates would be adverse to its net interest margin.

The Corporation seeks to establish itself as the financial provider of choice in the markets it serves. It plans to achieve this goal by offering a broad range of high quality financial products and services and by increasing market awareness of its brand and the benefits that can be derived from its products. The Corporation operates in an attractive market for financial services but also is in intense competition with domestic and international banking organizations and other insurance and investment providers for the financial services business. The Corporation has taken initiatives to achieve its business objective by acquiring banks and other financial service providers in strategic markets, by marketing, public relations and advertising, by establishing standards of service excellence for its customers, and by using technology to ensure that the needs of its customers are understood and satisfied.

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 revenue. The following table presents a summary of the Corporation's average balances; the yields earned on average assets, and the cost of average liabilities for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004. Sensitivities associated with the mix of assets and liabilities are numerous and complex. The Asset/ Liability Management and Investment Committees work to maintain an adequate and reliable net interest margin for the Corporation.

Net interest income increased $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the same period of 2004 primarily due to increased rates on commercial loans and volume increases in commercial real estate loans, partially offset by the net increase in rates on money market savings deposits. The net interest margin, which is net interest income as a percentage of average interest-earning assets, increased to 3.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2005 compared to 3.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2004. On a tax-equivalent basis, the net interest margin increased to 4.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2005, compared to 3.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2004. The net interest spread, which represents the difference between the weighted average yield on interest-earning assets and the weighted average cost of interest-bearing liabilities, was 3.5% for both three-month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004. On a tax-equivalent basis, the net interest spread was 3.7% for both three-month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004. The effect of net interest free funding sources increased to 0.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2005 compared to 0.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2004; this represents the effect on the net interest margin of net funding provided by noninterest-earning assets, noninterest-bearing liabilities and shareholders’ equity.

Notes:

Interest Income

The growth in interest and fees on loans is due primarily to increased rates on commercial business loans and increased volume of commercial and construction real estate loans. The average interest yield on the commercial loan portfolio increased 147 basis points, primarily due to a 201 basis point increase in the average prime rate, for the three months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004; which contributed to a $1.4 million increase in interest income. The average yield on commercial and construction real estate loans increased slightly by 61 basis points; but the $34.2 million increase in average volume primarily contributed to a $1.1 million increase in interest income.
 
Interest on investments, interest-bearing deposits and federal funds sold decreased primarily due to a $33.2 million decrease in average mortgage-backed securities, partially offset by an increase of $20.0 million in U.S. Government agency obligations; whereas rates on these securities remained relatively flat.

Interest Expense

The Corporation’s average rate on deposits increased 58 basis points for the three months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004. The average rate paid on money market savings increased 136 basis points due to new products and promotions offered to grow deposits in the Bank’s competitive marketplace; which contributed to a $1.0 million increase in interest expense. Interest on certificates of deposit increased $742 thousand, primarily due to volume increases of $63.4 million. Since August 2004, the Bank obtained deposits from the Pennsylvania Local Government Investment Trust (“PLGIT”) to augment its fixed funding sources. The PLGIT deposits are public funds collateralized with a letter of credit that PLGIT maintains with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh; therefore, the Univest National Bank is not required to provide collateral on these deposits. The average balance of PLGIT deposits increased $42.4 million comparing the three months ended September 30, 2005 over the same period in 2004.

Interest expense on short-term borrowings includes interest paid on federal funds purchased and short-term Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) borrowings. In addition, the Bank offers an automated cash management checking account that sweeps funds daily into a repurchase agreement account (“sweep accounts”). Interest expense on short-term borrowings increased 69.0% during the three months ended September 30, 2005 compared to 2004 due to a 98 basis point increase in the average rate paid on sweep accounts.

- 12 -

Interest on long-term debt increased primarily due to a 183 basis point increase in the rate paid on subordinated notes and trust preferred securities. This increase in rate was due to LIBOR increases which effect the variable rate paid on the trust preferred securities.

Provision For Loan Losses

The reserve for loan losses is determined through a periodic evaluation that 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 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 bank’s primary regulators, as an integral part of their examination process, may require adjustments to the allowance. Continued growth in loan volumes and current economic conditions indicated the need for an increase to the reserve in 2005. The provision for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 was $509 thousand and $474 thousand, respectively.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income consists of trust department fee income, service charges on deposits income, commission income, net gains on sales of securities, and other miscellaneous types of income. It also includes various types of service fees, such as ATM fees, and life insurance income which primarily represents changes in the cash surrender value of bank-owned insurance. Total noninterest income decreased during the three months ended September 30, 2005 compared to 2004 due to a higher spread on sales of investment securities in 2004 compared to 2005.

Trust fee income increased in 2005 over 2004 primarily due to an increase in the number and market value of managed accounts. Service charges on deposit accounts grew in 2005 compared to 2004 due to the change in structure of the deposit accounts. The monthly charges decreased while nonsufficient-funds fees increased.

Investment advisory commissions and fee income, the primary source of income for Univest Investments, Inc., slightly increased in 2005 over 2004. Insurance commissions and fee income, the primary source of income for Univest Insurance, Inc., grew approximately $104 thousand for the third quarter due to higher premiums and volume in addition to the acquisition of Donald K. Martin & Company.

Life insurance income is primarily the change in the cash surrender values of bank owned life insurance policies. There was more of an increase recognized on these policies in 2005 compared to 2004.
    
- 13 -

Other service fee income primarily consists of fees from credit card companies for a portion of merchant charges paid to the credit card companies for the Bank’s customer debit card usage (“Mastermoney fees”), non-customer debit card fees, other merchant fees, mortgage servicing income and mortgage placement income. Other service fee income increased for the third quarter of 2005 over 2004 primarily due to unfavorable fair market value adjustments in 2005 of $2 thousand compared to unfavorable market value adjustments of $125 thousand in 2004.

Other non-interest income includes loss on investments in partnerships, gains on sales of mortgages, reinsurance income and other miscellaneous income. The Corporation recognized greater losses on its low-income housing partnership investments than in 2004.

Gains on Sale of Assets

Sales of $1.1 million in mortgage loans during the three months ended September 30, 2005 resulted in gains of $2 thousand compared to sales of $1.3 million for gains of $39 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2004.

During the three months ended September 30, 2005, approximately $7.3 million aggregate costs of U.S. Government agencies and $353 thousand in equity securities were sold resulting in a net gain of $63 thousand. During the three months ended September 30, 2004, approximately $5.7 million of mortgage-backed securities were sold resulting in a net gain of $246 thousand.

During the three months ended September 30, 2005 the Corporation merged its Centre Pointe banking office into its Blue Bell office and retired additional long-term assets resulting in a net loss on the disposition of fixed assets of $3 thousand. In the three months ended September 30, 2004, the Corporation sold a parcel of excess land acquired for its Skippack branch for a net gain of $11 thousand.
 
Noninterest Expense

The operating costs of the Corporation are known as noninterest expense, 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.

Salary and benefits increased primarily due to the bonus accruals during 2005 compared to reductions taken in 2004 as it became apparently more likely that the 2004 planned income would not be achieved. Net occupancy expense decreased primarily due to a reduction in maintenance expenses. Equipment expense decreased slightly comparing the three months ended September 30, 2005 over the same period in 2004. Other expenses decreased primarily due to bank shares tax overpayments and credits, and reductions in loss contingency reserves. These decreases were partially offset by increases in legal fees associated with loan work-outs and advertising expenses.

- 14 -

Tax Provision

The provision for income taxes was $2.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005 compared to $2.1 million in 2004, at effective rates of 27.0% and 26.2%, respectively. The effective tax rates reflect the benefits of tax credits generated from investments in low-income housing projects and tax-exempt income from investments in municipal securities, loans and bank-owned life insurance. The increase in the effective tax rate between the three-month periods is primarily due to an increase in pre-tax income while tax-exempt income remained relatively unchanged.

Return on average shareholders' equity was 14.86% and return on average assets was 1.46% for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to 14.99% and 1.38%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2004.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income increased $2.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the same period of 2004 due to increased rates on commercial loans and increased volume of commercial and construction real estate loans, partially offset by the net increase in rates on deposits. The net interest margin increased slightly to 3.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to 3.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. On a tax-equivalent basis, the net interest margin also increased slightly to 4.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, compared to 3.9% for the same period in 2004. The net interest spread was 3.5% for both nine-month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004. On a tax-equivalent basis, the net interest spread was 3.7% for both nine-month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004. The effect of net interest free funding sources was 0.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to 0.2% for the same period in 2004.

Interest Income

The growth in interest and fees on loans is due primarily to increased rates on commercial loans and increased volume of commercial and construction real estate loans. The average interest yield on the commercial loan portfolio increased 117 basis points, primarily due to a 158 basis point increase in the average prime rate, for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004; which contributed to a $3.3 million increase in interest income. The average yield on commercial and construction real estate loans increased slightly by 27 basis points; but the $38.6 million increase in average volume primarily contributed to a $2.6 million increase in interest income.
 
Interest on investments, interest-bearing deposits and federal funds sold decreased primarily due to a $42.1 million decrease in average mortgage-backed securities; whereas rates on these securities remained relatively flat. These decreases were the result of sales of approximately $50.3 million of primarily fixed-rate U.S. Government agency mortgage-backed securities in 2004 and prepayments during 2004 and 2005.

Interest Expense

The Corporation’s average cost on deposits increased 41 basis points for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004. The average rate paid on money market savings increased 119 basis points due to new products and promotions offered to grow deposits in the Bank’s competitive marketplace. Interest on certificates of deposit increased $1.2 million, primarily due to volume increases of $49.5 million. Since August 2004, the Bank obtained PLGIT deposits to augment its fixed funding sources. The PLGIT deposits are public funds collateralized with a letter of credit that PLGIT maintains with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh; therefore, the Univest National Bank is not required to provide collateral on these deposits. The average balance of PLGIT deposits increased $39.7 million comparing the nine months ended September 30, 2005 over the same period in 2004.

Interest expense on short-term borrowings increased $206 thousand during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to 2004 due to average rate increases on sweep accounts of 53 basis points whereas the average balance remained level. This increase was partially offset by volume decreases in FHLB borrowings of $23.9 million more than offsetting that average rate increases on these borrowings of 234 basis points.

Interest on long-term debt increased primarily due to a 164 basis point increase in the rate paid on subordinated notes and trust preferred securities. This increase in rate was due to LIBOR increases which effect the variable rate paid on the trust preferred securities.

Provision For Loan Losses

The provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 was $1.4 million and $1.3 million, respectively. Continued growth in loan volumes and current economic conditions indicated the need for an increase to the reserve in 2005.

Noninterest Income

Total noninterest income decreased during the first nine months of 2005 compared to 2004 primarily due to gains on the sales of securities and gains on dispositions of fixed assets in 2004.

Trust fee income increased in 2005 over 2004 primarily due to an increase in the number and market value of managed accounts. Service charges on deposit accounts grew in 2005 compared to 2004 due to the change in the fee structure of the deposit accounts. The monthly charges decreased while nonsufficient-funds fees increased.

Investment advisory commissions and fee income, the primary source of income for Univest Investments, Inc., slightly decreased in 2005 over 2004. Insurance commissions and fee income, the primary source of income for Univest Insurance, Inc., continued to grow in 2005 from 2004. Loss ratio based bonuses increased $9 thousand in 2005 compared to 2004. Other insurance commissions grew approximately $313 thousand for the nine-month period due to higher premiums and volume in addition to the acquisition of Donald K. Martin & Company.

Life insurance income is primarily the change in the cash surrender values of bank owned life insurance policies. There was less of an increase recognized on these policies in 2005 compared to 2004.
    
Other service fee income increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004 primarily due a $154 thousand increase in Mastermoney fees in addition to increases in mortgage placement fee income and sales of official checks. Also contributing to the increase were unfavorable fair market value adjustments of $80 thousand in 2004 compared to no net change in 2005.

Gains on Sale of Assets

Sales of $5.7 million in mortgage loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 resulting in gains of $56 thousand compared to sales of $5.3 million for gains of $96 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2004.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2004 approximately $47.5 million of primarily mortgage-backed securities were sold for a net gain of $831 thousand. These securities were primarily fixed-rate U. S. Government agency mortgage-backed securities and were sold to shorten the duration of the investment portfolio to position it for a possible rise in market interest rates. These sales were offset by purchases of shorter-term U. S. Government agency bonds to cover the collateral needs of the seasonal increase in public funds, due to the collection of school-district-related real estate taxes. In the nine months ended September 30, 2005, approximately $1.5 million in U. S. Government treasuries, $1.2 million in Municipals and $7.3 million in U.S. Government Agencies were sold for a net gain of $150 thousand.

In June 2004, the Corporation sold its Hatfield banking office for a gain of $196 thousand. During the second quarter of 2005, the Corporation closed two supermarket banking offices and retired other long-lived assets replaced by the new Kulpsville branch at a net loss of $215 thousand.

Salary and benefits increased by $421 thousand primarily due to the bonus accrual as management expects to meet 2005 planned income. Net occupancy expense increased due to increased rents during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 over the same period in 2004 and an operating lease termination penalty of $89 thousand recorded in 2005. Other expenses decreased primarily due to bank shares tax overpayments and credits, and reductions in loss contingency reserves. These decreases were partially offset by increases in legal fees associated with loan work-outs and advertising expenses.

Tax Provision

The provision for income taxes was $6.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to $5.9 million in 2004, at effective rates of 26.5% and 25.9%, respectively. The effective tax rates reflect the benefits of tax credits generated from investments in low-income housing projects and tax-exempt income from investments in municipal securities, loans and bank-owned life insurance. The increase in the effective tax rate between the nine-month periods is primarily due to an increase in pre-tax income while tax-exempt income remained relatively unchanged.

Financial Condition

Assets

Total assets increased $79.7 million since December 31, 2004. The increase was primarily due to net growth in loans.

Investment Securities

The investment portfolio is managed as part of the overall asset and liability management process to optimize income and market performance over an entire interest rate cycle while mitigating risk. Activity in this portfolio is undertaken primarily to manage liquidity and interest rate risk and to take advantage of market conditions that create more economically attractive returns on these investments. The securities portfolio consists primarily of U.S. Government agency, mortgage-backed and municipal securities.

Total investments increased primarily due to security purchases totaling $133.1 million partially offset by maturities and sales of $115.0 million.

Loans

Total loans increased in the first nine months of 2005 primarily due to an increase in non-real estate related loans to individuals of $32.8 million, as the Corporation continued to grow its in-direct auto loans, real estate construction loans of $10.6  million and commercial real estate loans of 6.8 million.

Asset Quality

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 what actions should be taken when determining the collectibility of interest for accrual purposes.

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 is either applied against principal or reported as interest income, according to management's judgment as to the collectibility of principal.

Loans are usually 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.

Cash basis, restructured and nonaccrual loans totaled $6.0 million at September 30, 2005, $10.1 million at December 31, 2004 and $10.0 million at September 30, 2004 and consists mainly of commercial loans and real estate related commercial loans. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, nonaccrual loans resulted in lost interest income of $444 thousand and $396 thousand, respectively. Loans 90 days or more past due totaled $786 thousand at September 30, 2005, $927 thousand at December 31, 2004 and $2.5 million at September 30, 2004. Other real estate owned totaled $732 thousand at September 30, 2005 and $607 thousand at December 31, 2004. There was no other real estate owned at September 30, 2004. The Corporation's ratio of nonperforming assets to total loans and other real estate owned was 0.61% at September 30, 2005, 0.99% at December 31, 2004 and 1.10% at September 30, 2004.

At September 30, 2005, the recorded investment in loans that are considered to be impaired under SFAS No. 114 was $6.0 million all of which were on a nonaccrual basis. The related reserve for loan losses for those loans was $815 thousand. At December 31, 2004, the recorded investment in loans that are considered to be impaired under SFAS No. 114 was $10.1 million, all of which were on a nonaccrual basis. The related reserve for loan losses for those loans was $2.7 million. At September 30, 2004, the recorded investment in loans that are considered to be impaired under SFAS No. 114 was $10.0 million. The related reserve for loan losses for those loans was $2.4 million. The amount of the specific reserve needed for these credits could change in future periods subject to changes in facts and judgments related to these credits. Specific reserves have been established based on current facts and management’s judgments about the ultimate outcome of these credits. In the third quarter of 2004, one commercial real estate credit totaling $2.3 million was added to impaired loans; this credit is secured by a mortgage on commercial real estate. During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, $2.1 million of primarily commercial real estate loans were added to impaired loans, impaired commercial business loans of $1.2 million were charged-off, and a commercial real estate loans was partially charged-off by $750 thousand. Payments of $4.3 million were received of which $317 thousand were payments from the Small Business Administration for guaranteed portions of the loans.

Reserve For Loan Losses

Management believes the reserve for loan losses is maintained at a level that is adequate to absorb 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 loan losses is determined through a monthly evaluation of reserve adequacy. Quarterly, this analysis 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 charge-off activity. Non-accrual 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 the 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 reserve 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 reserve for 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 loan losses. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires 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 or when in the opinion of management the full amount of the loan, in the case of non-collateral dependent borrowings, will not be realized. Certain impaired loans are reported at the present value of expected future cash flows using the loan's initial effective interest rate, or at the loan's observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

The specific reserve element is based on a regular analysis of impaired commercial and real estate loans. For these loans, the specific reserve established is based on an analysis of related collateral value, cash flow considerations and, if applicable, guarantor capacity.

The class reserve element is determined by an internal loan grading process in conjunction with associated allowance factors. The Corporation revises the class reserve factors whenever necessary in order to address improving or deteriorating credit quality trends or specific risks associated with a given loan pool classification.

The Corporation maintains a reserve in other liabilities for off-balance sheet credit exposures that currently are unfunded.

The reserve for loan losses decreased $389 thousand from December 31, 2004 to September 30, 2005 as impaired loans were charged-off and as payments were received on impaired loans. These decreases more than offset the need to increase the reserve for loan growth. Management believes that the reserve is maintained at a level that is adequate to absorb losses in the loan portfolio. The ratio of the reserve for loan losses to total loans was 1.04% at September 30, 2005 and 1.12% at December 31, 2004.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

On January 1, 2002, the Corporation adopted Statement No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" (SFAS No. 142). In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 142, the Corporation completed the annual impairment tests during the fourth quarter of 2004 and no impairment was noted. There can be no assurance that future goodwill impairment tests will not result in a charge to earnings.

The Corporation has covenants not to compete, intangible assets due to bank and branch acquisitions, core deposit intangibles, and mortgage servicing rights, which are not deemed to have an indefinite life and therefore will continue to be amortized over their useful life. The Corporation also has goodwill of $41.0 million, which is deemed to be an indefinite intangible asset and will not be amortized but is tested for impairment annually. In connection with the acquisitions of First County Bank and Suburban Community Bank, the Corporation recorded $34.9 million of goodwill.

Liabilities

Total liabilities increased since December 31, 2004 primarily due to an increase in deposits, partially offset by a decrease in borrowings. The following table presents the liabilities for the periods indicated:

Deposits

The Bank obtained a $10.0 million PLGIT deposit in June 2005; a $5.0 million PLGIT deposit and $4.7 million in Brokered certificates matured during the third quarter. Other time deposits increased $52.2 million and money market savings accounts increased $39.0 million, a result of new products and promotions offered to grow deposits in the Bank’s competitive marketplace. Growth in non-interest bearing demand deposits was $14.1 million since December 31, 2004. These increases were partially offset by decreases in interest-bearing checking accounts of $13.4 million and regular savings accounts of $19.9 million, as these depositors migrated to new money market savings products.

Borrowings

Long-term debt at September 30, 2005, includes $11.6 million in Subordinated Capital Notes, $20.6 million of Trust Preferred Securities, and $54.6 million in long-term borrowings from the FHLB. The consolidated balance sheet also includes a $2.1 million fair market value adjustment relating to FHLB long-term borrowings acquired in the First County Bank and Suburban Community Bank acquisitions. In April 2003, the Corporation secured $15.0 million in subordinated capital notes that qualify for Tier 2 capital status. In August 2003 the Corporation issued $20.0 million of trust preferred securities that qualify for Tier 1 capital status. Principal payments of $375 thousand are made quarterly and reduce the Subordinated Capital Notes balance. The Corporation deconsolidated its Capital Trust in the first quarter of 2004, as a result of the adoption of FIN 46. The result was an increase in the junior debt of $619 thousand. Short-term borrowings typically include federal funds purchased and short-term FHLB borrowings. In addition, the Bank offers an automated cash management checking account that sweeps funds daily into a repurchase agreement account (“sweep accounts”). Short-term borrowings decreased $3.3 million due to the maturity of federal funds purchased of $17.5 million and fluctuations in the sweep accounts of a negative $4.8 million, partially offset by the issuance of $19.0 million in short-term FHLB advances.

Other Liabilities

Other liabilities increased primarily due to a payable for securities purchased.

Shareholders' Equity

Total shareholders’ equity increased since December 31, 2004 primarily due to current earnings, partially offset by cash dividends paid. The following table presents the shareholders’ equity for the periods indicated:

On March 23, 2005 the Corporation declared a three-for-two split in the form of a 50 percent stock dividend which was distributed on April 29, 2005. The declaration of this split was recorded in March 2005, which increased common stock by $24.8 million and decreased retained earnings by $24.8 million; this amount equates to the par value of the common stock the Corporation distributed on April 29, 2005. Retained earnings was favorably impacted by nine months of net income of $18.5 million partially offset by cash dividends of $6.8 million declared during the first nine months of 2005. Treasury stock decreased slightly primarily because options exercised were sold out of treasury. There is a buyback program in place that as of September 30, 2005 allows the Corporation to purchase an additional 432,717 shares of its outstanding common stock in the open market or in negotiated transactions.

Accumulated other comprehensive loss related to debt securities of $347 thousand, net of taxes, is included in shareholders' equity as of September 30, 2005. Accumulated other comprehensive income related to debt securities of $2.2 million, net of taxes, has been included in shareholders' equity as of December 31, 2004. Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) related to debt securities is the unrealized gain (loss), or difference between the book value and market value, on the available-for-sale investment portfolio, net of taxes. The period-to-period decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) was a result of declines in the market values of fixed rate mortgage-backed and non-mortgage-backed government agency debt securities, and a decline in the market value of municipal securities. The market value declines are attributable to an increase in the 2-year treasury yield of 110 basis points, an increase in the 3-year treasury yield of 95 basis points, an increase in the 5-year treasury yield of 58 basis points and an increase in the 10-year treasury yield of 11 basis points from December 31, 2004 to September 30, 2005.

In the third quarter of 2005, the Corporation entered into an interest-rate swap agreement that converts a portion of its floating rate commercial loans to a fixed rate basis. The accumulated other comprehensive loss related to interest-rate swaps, net of taxes, included in shareholders’ equity at September 30, 2005 was $29 thousand. Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) related to interest-rate swaps reflects the current market value of the swap, net of taxes. There were no interest-rate swaps at December 31, 2004.

Capital Adequacy

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 1 and Tier 2. Minimum required total risk-based capital is 8.0%. The Corporation and the Bank continue to be in the "well-capitalized" category under regulatory standards.

Critical Accounting Policies
 
Management, in order to prepare the Corporation's financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, is required to make estimates and assumptions that effect the amounts reported in the Corporation's financial statements. There are uncertainties inherent in making these estimates and assumptions. Certain critical accounting policies, discussed below, could materially affect the results of operations and financial position of the Corporation should changes in circumstances require a change in related estimates or assumptions. The Corporation has identified the reserve for loan losses, intangible assets, investment securities, mortgage servicing rights, income taxes and benefit plans as its critical accounting policies. For more information on these critical accounting policies, please refer to our 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Asset/Liability Management

The primary functions of Asset/Liability Management are to assure adequate earnings, capital and 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 and corporate needs. 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.

The Corporation uses both static gap analysis and simulation techniques to quantify its exposure to interest rate risk. The Corporation uses static gap analysis techniques to identify and monitor long-term rate exposure and uses a simulation model to measure the short-term rate exposures. The Corporation 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.

During the third quarter of 2005, the Corporation entered into an interest-rate swap agreement that converts a portion of its floating rate commercial loans to a fixed rate basis. Under this swap agreement, the Corporation agrees to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed and floating-interest rates calculated on an agreed upon notional principal amount. 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, 2004 that Corporation had no swaps outstanding.

At September 30, 2005, the total notional amount of the “Pay Floating, Receive Fixed” swap outstanding was $20.0 million. The net payable or receivable from the interest-rate swap agreement is accrued as an adjustment to interest income. The $20.0 million in notional amount of interest-rate swap outstanding expires on November 2, 2006.

The impact of the interest-rate swap on net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was a positive $18 thousand. The Corporation’s credit exposure on swaps is limited to the value of interest-rate swaps that have become favorable to the Corporation. Credit risk would exist because the counterparty to a derivative contract with an unrealized gain might fail to perform according to the terms of the agreement. As of September 30, 2005, the market value of the interest-rate swap was in an unfavorable position of $45 thousand and there were no interest-rate swaps with a market value in a favorable position.

Liquidity

The Corporation, in its role as a financial intermediary, is exposed to certain liquidity risks. Liquidity refers to the Corporation's ability to ensure that sufficient cash flow and liquid assets are available to satisfy demand for loans and deposit withdrawals. The Corporation manages its liquidity risk by measuring and monitoring its liquidity sources and estimated funding needs. The Corporation has a contingency funding plan in place to address liquidity needs in the event of an institution-specific or a systemic financial crisis.

Sources of Funds

Core deposits and cash management repurchase agreements (“Repos”) have historically been the most significant funding sources for the Corporation. These deposits and Repos are generated from a base of consumer, business and public customers primarily located in Bucks and Montgomery counties, Pennsylvania. The Corporation faces increased competition for these deposits from a large array of financial market participants, including banks, thrifts, mutual funds, security dealers and others.

The Corporation supplements its core funding with money market funds it holds for the benefit of various trust accounts. These funds are fully collateralized by the Bank’s investment portfolio and are at current money market mutual fund rates. This funding source is subject to changes in the asset allocations of the trust accounts. Since August 2004, the Bank obtained deposits from the Pennsylvania Local Government Investment Trust (“PLGIT”) to augment its fixed funding sources. The PLGIT deposits are public funds collateralized with a letter of credit that PLGIT maintains with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh; therefore, the Univest National Bank is not required to provide collateral on these deposits. At September 30, 2005, the Bank had $40.0 million in PLGIT deposits.

The Corporation, through its Bank, has short-term and long-term credit facilities with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh with a maximum borrowing capacity of approximately $366.7 million. At September 30, 2005, the Corporation's outstanding short-term and long-term borrowings under the FHLB credit facilities totaled $73.6 million. The maximum borrowing capacity changes as a function of the Bank’s qualifying collateral assets and the amount of funds received may be reduced by additional required purchases of FHLB stock.

The Corporation maintains federal fund lines with several correspondent banks totaling $70 million. At September 30, 2005, there were no outstanding borrowings under these lines. Future availability under these lines is subject to the policies of the granting banks and may be withdrawn.

The Corporation, through the Bank, has an available line of credit at the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, the amount of which is dependent upon the balance of loans and securities pledged as collateral. At September 30, 2005, the Corporation had no outstanding borrowings under this line.

Cash Requirements

The Corporation has cash requirements for various financial obligations, including contractual obligations and commitments that require cash payments. The contractual obligations and commitments table that follows presents, as of September 30, 2005, significant fixed and determinable contractual obligations and commitments to third parties. The most significant contractual obligation, in both the under and over one year time period, is for the Bank to repay its certificates of deposit. Securities sold under agreement to repurchase constitute the next largest payment obligation which is short term in nature. The Bank anticipates meeting these obligations by continuing to provide convenient depository and cash management services through its branch network, thereby replacing these contractual obligations with similar fund sources at rates that are competitive in our market.

Commitments to extend credit are the Bank’s most significant commitment in both the under and over one year time periods. These commitments do not necessarily represent future cash requirements in that these commitments often expire without being drawn upon.

- 25 -

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

The Corporation enters into contractual obligations in the normal course of business as a source of funds for its asset growth and its asset/liability management, to fund acquisitions and to meet required capital needs. These obligations require the Corporation to make cash payments over time as detailed in the table below.

The Corporation is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to manage the Corporation’s exposure to fluctuation in interest rates. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby and commercial letters of credit and forward contracts. These financial instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The contract or notional amounts of these financial instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Corporation has in particular classes of financial instruments.  

The Corporation’s exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby and commercial letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Corporation uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. Unless noted otherwise, the Corporation does not require and is not required to pledge collateral or other security to support financial instruments with credit risk. These commitments expire over time as detailed in the following table. 

Forward contracts represent agreements for delayed delivery of financial instruments or commodities in which the buyer agrees to purchase and the seller agrees to deliver, at a specified future date, a specified instrument or commodity at a specified price or yield. Forward contracts are not traded on organized exchanges and their contractual terms are not standardized. The Corporation’s forward contracts are commitments to sell loans secured by 1-to-4 family residential properties whose predominant risk characteristic is interest rate risk.

The following table sets forth contractual obligations and other commitments representing required and potential cash outflows, including interest payable, as of September 30, 2005:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2004 the Financial Accounting Standards Board revised Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123r”). SFAS 123r required that the fair-value-based method of accounting for stock options be used for all public entities and eliminates alternative accounting methods; consequently, similar economic transactions will be accounted for in the same manner. Entities are required to estimate the number of instruments for which the requisite service is expected to be rendered as compared to the original statement which permitted entities to account for forfeitures as they occur. In addition, SFAS 123r amends SFAS No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows,” to require that excess tax benefits be reported as a financing cash inflow rather than as a reduction of taxes paid. Incremental compensation cost for a modification of the terms or conditions of an award is measured by comparing the fair value of the modified award with the fair value of the award immediately before the modification. On April 14, 2005 the Securities and Exchange Commission amended the compliance dates for SFAS 123r. Under the amended compliance dates, SFAS 123r becomes effective for public entities that do not file as small business issuers, as of the beginning of the first fiscal reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005. SFAS 123r applies to all awards granted after the required effective date and to awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled after that date. As of the required effective date, all public entities that used the fair-value-based method for either recognition or disclosure under the original statement will apply SFAS 123r using a modified version of prospective application. Under that transition method, compensation cost is recognized on or after the required effective date for the portion of outstanding awards for which the requisite service has not yet been rendered, based on the grant-date fair value of those awards calculated under the original statement for either recognition or pro forma disclosures. For periods before the required effective date, those entities may elect to apply a modified version of retrospective application under which financial statements for prior periods are adjusted on a basis consistent with the pro forma disclosures required for those periods by the original statement. Pro forma disclosures under the original statement are presented in Note 4 “Stock-Based Compensation.” The Corporation does not anticipate recording expense significantly different than what is presented in Note 4. Actual stock-based compensation expense, net of tax, to be recorded in the fiscal year 2006 under the transition method will be approximately $96 thousand. Future grants, unvested forfeitures of prior grants and unrecognizable differed tax benefits may alter this projected number.

On March 1, 2005, the Federal Reserve Board adopted a final rule that allows the continued limited inclusion of trust preferred securities in the tier 1 capital of bank holding companies. The final rule became effective on April 11, 2005 for quarterly reporting periods beginning after July 1, 2005 and impacts the calculation of risk-based capital ratios. The final rule limits restricted core capital to 25 percent of all core capital elements, net of goodwill less any associated deferred tax liabilities. Amounts of restricted core capital elements in excess of these limits generally may be included in tier 2 capital under quantitative limits which will be transitioned over a five-year period ending March 31, 2009. Under the new rule, the requirement for trust preferred securities to include a call option has been eliminated and standards for the junior subordinated debt underlying trust preferred securities eligible for tier 1 capital have been clarified. The Corporation’s trust preferred securities amount to less than the 25 percent limitation for tier 1 capital and none would be subject to the tighter quantitative limits of tier 2 capital under the new rule. The Corporation does not anticipate a material change in its risk-based capital ratios as a result of this new rule.

In May 2005, the FASB issued Statement No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections - a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3” (“SFAS 154”.) SFAS 154 changes the accounting for and reporting of a voluntary change in accounting principle and replaces ABP Opinion No. 20, “Accounting Changes” and FASB Statement No. 3, “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements.” Under Opinion No. 20, most changes in accounting principle were reported in the income statement of the period of change as a cumulative adjustment. However, under SFAS 154, a voluntary change in accounting principle must be shown retrospectively in the financial statements, if practicable, for all periods presented. In cases where retrospective application is impracticable, an adjustment to the assets, liabilities and a corresponding adjustment to retained earnings can be made as of the beginning of the earliest period for which retrospective application is practicable rather than being reported in the income statement. FAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years after December 15, 2005, although earlier application is permitted for changes and corrections made in fiscal years beginning after June 1, 2005.
