The Corporation previously disclosed in its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006, that it expected to make payments of $1.7 million for its qualified and non-qualified retirement plans and $92 thousand for its other postretirement benefit plans in 2007. As of June 30, 2007, $895 thousand and $49 thousand have been paid from its retirement plans and other postretirement plans, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Corporation contributed $250 thousand and $49 thousand to its non-qualified retirement plans and other postretirement plans, respectively. The Corporation presently anticipates making essentially equal payments for the remaining quarters in 2007 to fund the non-qualified retirement plan and other postretirement plans.

Note 7. SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.”

At June 30, 2006, 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 was accrued as an adjustment to interest income. The $20.0 million notional amount of interest-rate swap outstanding expired on November 2, 2006. There were no swaps outstanding at June 30, 2007 or December 31, 2006.
 
Note 8. Income Taxes

Effective January 1, 2007 the Corporation adopted Financial Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 provides guidance on financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. According to FIN 48, a tax position is recognized if it is more-likely-than-not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. If the tax position meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the position is measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize and should be measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. FIN 48 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.

As of January 1, 2007 the Corporation had no material unrecognized tax benefits, accrued interest or penalties. Penalties are recorded in non-interest expense in the year they are assessed and are treated as a non-deductible expense for tax purposes. Interest is recorded in non-interest expense in the year it is assessed and is treated as a deductible expense for tax purposes. As of January 1, 2007, Tax Years 2003 through 2006 remain subject to Federal examination as well as examination by state taxing jurisdictions.

Note 9. Recent Accounting Pronouncements 

In September 2006, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reach a conclusion on EITF No. 06-4, “Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements,” (“EITF 06-4.”) EITF 06-4 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. Under EITF 06-4, if an agreement is to provide the employee with a death benefit in a postretirement/termination period, the employer should recognize a liability for the future death benefit in accordance with either Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 106 or Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 12. EITF 06-4 requires that recognition of the effects of adoption should be either by (a) a change in accounting principle through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the year of adoption or (b) a change in accounting principle through retrospective application to all prior periods. The potential impact to Univest will be negative cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings of approximately $1.6 million and would not be tax affected.

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies when other accounting pronouncement require fair value measurements; it does not require new fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and for interim periods within those years. The Corporation does not anticipate the adoption of SFAS 157 to have a material impact on its financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115)” (“SFAS 159.”) SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective of SFAS 159 is to improve financial reporting by allowing entities to minimize volatility in reported earnings caused by related assets and liabilities being measured differently. Most of the provisions of SFAS 159 apply only to entities that elect the fair value option. However, SFAS 159 includes an amendment to SFAS 115 which applies to all entities with available-for-sale and trading securities. Entities electing the fair value option will report unrealized gains and losses in earnings and recognize upfront costs and fees related to those items in earnings as they are incurred, not deferred. The following items are eligible for the fair value measurement option established by SFAS 159: 1) Recognized financial assets and financial liabilities, except (a) an investment in a subsidiary that is required to be consolidated, (b) an interest in a variable interest entity that is required to be consolidated, (c) obligations (or assets representing net over funded positions) for pension plans, other postretirement benefits, post employment benefits, employee stock option and stock purchase plans, and other forms of deferred compensation arrangements, (d) financial assets and liabilities recognized under leases, (e) demand deposit liabilities of financial institutions, and (f) financial instruments classified by the issuer as a component of shareholder’s equity; 2) firm commitments that would otherwise not be recognized at inception and that involve only financial instruments; 3) nonfinancial insurance contracts and warranties that the insurer can settle by paying a third party to provide those goods or services; and, 4) host financial instruments resulting from separation of an embedded nonfinancial derivative instrument from a nonfinancial hybrid instrument. The fair value option may be applied on an instrument-by-instrument basis, with a few exceptions, such as investments otherwise accounted for by the equity method or multiple advanced made to one borrower under a single contract. The fair value option is irrevocable unless a new election date occurs and applies only to entire instruments and not to portions of instruments. Entities are permitted to elect fair value option for any eligible item within the scope of SFAS 159 at the date they initially adopt the SFAS 159. The adjustment to reflect the difference between the fair value and the current carrying amount of the assets and liabilities for which an entity elects fair value option is reported as a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings upon adoption. SFAS 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s second fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provisions of SFAS 157. The Corporation chose not to adopt SFAS 159 early. The Corporation does not anticipate the adoption of SFAS 159 to have a material impact on its financial statements.

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. Vanguard Leasing, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Bank, provides lease financing. 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.

Executive Overview

The Corporation recorded net income for the six months ended June 30, 2007 of $12.3 million, a 0.8% increase over the June 30, 2006 period.

Average earning assets increased $122.7 million and average interest-bearing liabilities increased $116.5 million when comparing the six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. Increased volume of commercial loans and lease financings and increased rates on commercial business loans and (commercial construction real estate loans), partially offset by increased rates and volume of money market savings and increased rates on certificates of deposits, contributed to a $536 thousand increase in net interest income. The tax-equivalent net interest margin declined slightly to 3.74% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2007 compared to 3.98% for the same period in 2006.
 
Non-interest income grew 11.22%, when comparing the six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 to 2006, primarily due to increases in insurance commissions and fee income, investment advisory commissions and fee income, and other service fee income. Non-interest expense grew 5.99% primarily due to an increase in salary and employee benefit expense slightly offset by a decrease in marketing and adverting expenses.

The Corporation earns its revenues primarily from the margins and fees it generates from the loan and lease and depository services it provides as well as from trust, insurance and investment commissions and fees. 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 objectives by acquiring banks and other financial service providers in strategic markets, through 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.

Return on average shareholders' equity was 12.83% and return on average assets was 1.26% for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to 13.53% and 1.32%, respectively, for the same period in 2006.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income is the difference between interest earned on loans and leases, 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 tax-equivalent yields earned on average assets, and the cost of average liabilities for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. 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 $83 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to 2006 primarily due to increased volume on lease financings and increased volume and rates on commercial loans and commercial real estate and construction loans, partially offset by increased volume and rates on money market savings deposits and increased rates on certificates of deposit. The tax-equivalent net interest margin, which is tax-equivalent net interest income as a percentage of average interest-earning assets, was 3.71% and 3.95% for the three month period ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The tax-equivalent net interest spread, which represents the difference between the weighted average tax-equivalent yield on interest-earning assets and the weighted average cost of interest-bearing liabilities, was 3.13% for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to 3.47% for the same period in 2006. The effect of net interest free funding sources increased to 0.58% for the three month period ended June 30, 2007 compared to 0.48% for the same period in 2006; this represents the effect on the net interest margin of net funding provided by noninterest-earning assets, noninterest-bearing liabilities and shareholders’ equity.

Notes:    Tax-equivalent amounts have been calculated using the Corporation’s federal applicable rate of 35 percent.
Nonaccrual loan and lease unearned discounts have been included in the average loan and lease balances.

Interest Income

The growth in interest and fees on loans is due primarily to increased volume and rates on commercial business loans and commercial and construction real estate loans and increased volume of lease financings. The average interest yield on the commercial loan portfolio increased 51 basis points, primarily due to 36 basis point increase in the average prime rate, for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006; which, along with average volume increases of $35.0 million, contributed to a $1.2 million increase in interest income. The average yield on commercial and construction real estate loans increased by 36 basis points; this along with average volume increases of $13.9 million contributed to a $643 thousand increase in interest income. Lease financing’s growth in volume of $43.0 million contributed to the $956 thousand increase in interest income.
 
Interest on investments, interest-bearing deposits and federal funds sold increased primarily due to rate increases on U.S. Government agency obligations and average volume and rate increases in other securities.

Interest Expense

The Corporation’s average rate on deposits increased 74 basis points for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006. The average rate paid on money market savings increased 59 basis points due to new products and promotions offered to grow deposits in the Bank’s competitive marketplace. Interest expense on certificates of deposit increased $1.1 million, due to an 86 basis-point increase in average rate. Average rate increases along with the average volume growth of $71.3 million, contributed to a $2.9 million increase in interest expense on deposits.

Interest expense on short-term borrowings includes interest paid on 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”). Interest expense on federal funds purchased increased $112 thousand due to average volume increase of $8.2 million and a 18 basis point increase in the average rate paid.

Interest expense on long-term debt increased $374 thousand due to an average volume increase of $27.2 million and a 39 basis-point increase in the rate.

Provision For Loan and Lease Losses

The reserve for loan and lease losses is determined through a periodic evaluation that takes into consideration the growth of the loan and lease portfolio, the status of past-due loans, current economic conditions, various types of lending activities, 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 and lease volumes and current economic conditions indicated the need for an increase to the reserve in 2007. The provision for loan and lease losses for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was $653 thousand and $515 thousand, respectively.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income consists of trust department fees, service charges on deposits, commissions, 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 increased during the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to 2006 primarily due to higher insurance commission and fee income.

The following table presents noninterest income for the periods indicated:

Trust fee income for the three months ended June 30, 2007 increased slightly over 2006 primarily due to an increase in the number and market value of managed accounts. Service charges on deposit accounts grew slightly in 2007 compared to 2006. This was a result of an increase in nonsufficient-funds fees and money manager fees. These increases were offset by reductions in regular checking service fee charges resulting from free-checking products introduced during 2006.

Investment advisory commissions and fee income, the primary source of income for Univest Investments, Inc., increased in 2007 over 2006 due to market activity and volume. Insurance commissions and fee income, the primary source of income for Univest Insurance, Inc., grew approximately $392 thousand primarily due to the acquisition of B.G. Balmer and Co. in the third quarter of 2006.

Life insurance income is primarily the change in the cash surrender values of bank owned life insurance policies, which is primarily affected by the market value of the underlying assets. There was a $177 thousand increase in the value of these policies when compared to the same period in 2006.

Net gains on the sales of securities increased slightly and the net loss recognized on dispositions of fixed asset remained stable when compared to the same period in 2006. The details of these items are discussed below.
 
Other service fee income consists primarily 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 second quarter of 2007 over 2006 primarily due to increases in Mastermoney fees, merchant fees and mortgage servicing fees.

Other non-interest income includes loss on investments in partnerships, gains on sales of mortgages, gains on sales of other real estate owned, reinsurance income and other miscellaneous income. Other non-interest income increased over prior year primarily due to the $76 thousand decline of losses recognized on investments in partnerships.

Gains on Sale of Assets

Sales of $1.3 million in loans and leases during three months ended June 30, 2007 resulted in gains of $37 thousand compared to sales of $738 thousand for gains of $7 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2006.

During the three months ended June 30, 2007, approximately $3.6 million in available-for-sale securities were sold, resulting in a gain of $51 thousand. During the three months ended June 30, 2006, approximately $31 thousand of securities were sold recognizing gains of $1 thousand; the Corporation also received $46 thousand resulting from the mandatory sale of shares created through conversion of one of its vendor relationships from a membership association to a private share corporation.

During the second quarter of 2007, the Corporation relocated a Bucks County banking office within one of the supermarket branch locations to a traditional office, recognizing a loss of $64 thousand. During the three months ended June 30, 2006, the Corporation relocated a Montgomery County banking office within one of its supermarket locations and recognized a loss of $65 thousand; this was slightly reduced by gains on sales of other fixed assets.

There were no sales of other real estate owned during the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.

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 due to normal annual increases, the acquisition of B.G. Balmer and Co. in the third quarter of 2006, and increased benefit costs for the six months ended June 30, 2007 when compared to June 30, 2006. Net occupancy expense increased primarily due to increased rental obligations for the B.G. Balmer and Co. and the Vernfield office rents. Marketing and advertising expenses decreased primarily due to a reduction in radio and newspaper advertising costs. Other expenses increased primarily due an increase in the bank shares tax, audit and examination fees and amortization costs associated with customer lists. These increases were partially offset by decreases in consultant fees and sales training expenses.

Tax Provision

The provision for income taxes was $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $2.2 million in 2006, at effective rates of 26.06% and 26.73%, 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 decrease in the effective tax rate between the three-month periods is primarily due to growth in amount the cash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance policies increased partially offset by a decrease in tax credits generated from investments in low-income housing projects.

Return on average shareholders' equity was 13.08% and return on average assets was 1.29% for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to 13.88% and 1.37%, respectively, for the same period in 2006.

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 tax-equivalent yields earned on average assets, and the cost of average liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. 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 $536 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to 2006 primarily due to increased volume and rates on commercial loans and commercial real estate and construction loans and the volume of lease financings, partially offset by increased volume and rates on money market savings deposits and increased rates on certificates of deposit. The tax-equivalent net interest margin, which is tax-equivalent net interest income as a percentage of average interest-earning assets, was 3.74% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2007 and 3.98% for the same period in 2006. The tax-equivalent net interest spread, which represents the difference between the weighted average tax-equivalent yield on interest-earning assets and the weighted average cost of interest-bearing liabilities, was 3.17% for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to 3.52% for the same period in 2006. The effect of net interest free funding sources increased to 0.57% for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to 0.46% for the same period in 2006; this represents the effect on the net interest margin of net funding provided by noninterest-earning assets, noninterest-bearing liabilities and shareholders’ equity.

Nonaccrual loan and lease unearned discounts have been included in the average loan and lease balances.

Interest Income

The growth in interest and fees on loans is due primarily to increased volume and rates on commercial business loans and commercial and construction real estate loans. The average interest yield on the commercial loan portfolio increased 66 basis points, primarily due to 69 basis point increase in the average prime rate, for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006; which, along with average volume increases of $38.8 million, contributed to a $2.7 million increase in interest income. The average yield on commercial and construction real estate loans increased by 49 basis points; this along with average volume increases of $22.7 million contributed to a $1.9 million increase in interest income. Lease financings’ growth in volume of $37.1 million contributed to $1.6 million in interest income.

Interest Expense

The Corporation’s average rate on deposits increased 87 basis points for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006. The average rate paid on money market savings increased 81 basis points due to new products and promotions offered to grow deposits in the Bank’s competitive marketplace; which along with a $68.1 million increase in volume contributed to a $2.6 million increase in interest expense. Interest on certificates of deposit increased $2.7 million, primarily due to a 92 basis-point increase in average rate.
 
- 17 -

 
Interest expense on short-term borrowings includes interest paid on 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”). Interest expense on federal funds purchased increased during the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to 2006 primarily due to an increase in volume of $11.9 million and a 29 basis-point increase in the average rate paid.

Interest on long-term debt increased primarily due to a $23.8 million dollar increase in volume and a 35 basis-point increase in the rate paid on FHLB borrowings.

Provision for Loan and Lease Losses

The reserve for loan and lease losses is determined through a periodic evaluation that takes into consideration the growth of the loan and lease portfolio, the status of past-due loans, current economic conditions, various types of lending activities, 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 and lease volumes and current economic conditions indicated the need for an increase to the reserve in 2007. The provision for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was $1.3 million and $1.0 million, respectively.

Non-interest Income

Non-interest 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 life insurance. Total noninterest income increased during the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to 2006 primarily due to higher insurance commissions and fees, investment advisory commission as well as other service fee income.

Trust fee income decreased in 2007 over 2006 as market value increases on managed accounts were less in 2007 when compared to the same period in 2006. Service charges on deposit accounts grew slightly in 2007 compared to 2006. This was a result of an increase in nonsufficient-funds fees and money manager fees. These increases were offset by reductions in regular checking service fee charges resulting from free-checking products introduced during 2006.

Investment advisory commissions and fee income, the primary source of income for Univest Investments, Inc., increased in 2007 over 2006 due to market activity and volume. Insurance commissions and fee income, the primary source of income for Univest Insurance, Inc., grew approximately $890 thousand primarily due to the acquisition of B.G. Balmer and Co. in the third quarter of 2006.

Life insurance income is primarily the change in the cash surrender values of bank owned life insurance policies, which is primarily affected by the market value of the underlying assets. The increase in value of these policies was more in 2007 when compared to the same period in 2006.
 
- 18 -


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 second quarter of 2007 over 2006 primarily due to increases in Mastermoney fees, merchant fees and mortgage servicing fees.

Net gains on the sales of securities increased slightly and the net loss recognized on dispositions of fixed asset declined when compared to the same period in 2006. The details of these items are discussed below.
 
Other non-interest income includes loss on investments in partnerships, gains on sales of mortgages, gains on sales of other real estate owned, reinsurance income and other miscellaneous income. Other non-interest income decreased over prior year primarily due to the $139 thousand gain on sales of other real estate owned that was recognized during the first six months of 2006 and a $77 thousand decline in miscellaneous income. These decreases were offset by an increase of $23 thousand in the sale of loans and leases and a $122 decline in the losses recognized on investments in partnerships.   

Gains on Sale of Assets

Sales of $1.6 million in loans and leases during the first six months ended June 30, 2007 resulted in gains of $41 thousand compared to sales of $1.2 million for gains of $18 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2006.

During the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, approximately $7.8 million and $1.6 million of securities were sold recognizing gains of $51 thousand and $1 thousand respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Corporation also recognized a $46 thousand resulting from the mandatory sale of shares created through conversion of one of its vendor relationships from a membership association to a private share corporation. 

During the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Corporation relocated a banking office within one of the supermarket branch locations to a traditional office, recognizing a loss of $64 thousand. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Corporation relocated a banking office within one of its Bucks and Montgomery County supermarket locations and recognized a loss of $65 thousand.

During the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Corporation sold two other real estate owned properties resulting in a gain of $139 thousand. There were no sales of other real estate owned during the six months ended June 30, 2007.

 
Non-interest Expense

The operating costs of the Corporation are known as non-interest 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.

The following table presents noninterest expense for the periods indicated:

Salary and benefits increased due to the normal annual increases, the acquisition of B. G. Balmer and Co. in the third quarter of 2006. Net occupancy expense increased primarily due to the increased rental obligations associated with the new West Chester insurance office and the new Doylestown corporate banking office.
 
- 19 -

 
Equipment expenses grew only slightly when comparing the first six months of 2007 to the same period in 2006. Marketing and advertising costs declined significantly over prior year primarily due to decreased radio and newspaper advertising expense.

Other expenses increased primarily due an increase in the bank shares tax, audit and examination fees, legal fees and amortization costs associated with customer lists. These increases were partially offset by decreases in consultant fees and sales training expenses.

Tax Provision

The provision for income taxes was $4.5 million for the first six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $4.4 million in 2006, at effective rates of 26.63% and 26.53%, 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 six-month periods is primarily due to a reduction in tax credits and an increase in pre-tax income partially offset by growth in the amount the cash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance policies increased.

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 purchases of $66.2 million, partially offset by maturities of $26.7 million, calls of $14.0 million and sales of $7.8 million.

Loans and Leases

Total loans and leases increased in the six months ended of 2007 due to increases in lease financings of $25.5 million, commercial loans of $3.9 million, real estate construction loans of $3.4 million and real estate residential loans of $3.2 million. These increases were offset slightly by a decrease in non-real estate related loans to individuals of $6.9 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.
 
- 20 -

 
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 $7.8 million at June 30, 2007, $8.4 million at December 31, 2006 and $9.8 million at June 30, 2006 and consists mainly of commercial loans and real estate related commercial loans. For the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, nonaccrual loans resulted in lost interest income of $396 thousand and $233 thousand, respectively. Loans 90 days or more past due totaled $1.4 million at June 30, 2007, $760 thousand at December 31, 2006 and $620 thousand at June 30, 2006. Other real estate owned totaled $333 thousand at June 30, 2007. There was no other real estate owned as of December 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006. The Corporation's ratio of nonperforming assets to total loans and other real estate owned was 0.69% at June 30, 2007, 0.68% at December 31, 2006 and 0.79% at June 30, 2006.

At June 30, 2007, the recorded investment in loans that are considered to be impaired under SFAS No. 114 was $7.8 million, all of which were on a nonaccrual basis; the related reserve for loan losses for those loans was $2.5 million. At December 31, 2006, the recorded investment in loans that are considered to be impaired under SFAS No. 114 was $8.4 million, all of which were on a nonaccrual basis; the related reserve for loan losses for those loans was $1.6 million. At June 30, 2006, the recorded investment in loans that are considered to be impaired under SFAS No. 114 was $9.8 million; the related reserve for loan losses for those loans was $1.9 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 first six months of 2007, one commercial real estate credit secured by a mortgage totaling $406 thousand and several commercial business loans totaling $730 thousand were added to impaired loans. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, payments of $1.2 million were received on impaired loans, $298 thousand were charged-off, $350 thousand was returned to accruing, and $327 thousand was transferred to other real estate owned.

Reserve For Loan and Lease Losses

Management believes the reserve for loan losses is maintained at a level that is adequate to absorb losses in the loan and lease 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 and lease portfolio.

The reserve for loan and lease losses is determined through a monthly evaluation of reserve adequacy. Quarterly, this analysis takes into consideration the growth of the loan and lease portfolio, the status of past-due credits, 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 second 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.
 
- 21 -

 
The reserve for loan and lease losses is based on management's evaluation of the loan and lease portfolio under current economic conditions and such other factors, which deserve recognition in estimating loan and lease 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 credits that may be susceptible to significant change. Additions to the reserve arise from the provision for loan and lease losses charged to operations or from the recovery of amounts previously charged off. Loan and lease charge-offs reduce the reserve. Loans and leases are charged off when there has been permanent impairment or when in the opinion of management the full amount of the loan or lease, 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 and leases 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 and lease losses increased $510 thousand from December 31, 2006 to June 30, 2007 due to the need to increase the reserve for loan and lease growth. Management believes that the reserve is maintained at a level that is adequate to absorb losses in the loan and lease portfolio. The ratio of the reserve for loan and lease losses to total loans was 1.00% at both June 30, 2007 and 0.98% at December 31, 2006.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

The Corporation has covenants not to compete, intangible assets due to bank and branch acquisitions, core deposit intangibles, customer related 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 $44.4 million, which is deemed to be an indefinite intangible asset and will not be amortized but is tested for impairment annually.

Liabilities

Total liabilities increased since December 31, 2006 primarily due to an increase in deposits and other liabilities, partially offset by a decrease in borrowings. The following table presents the liabilities for the periods indicated:

Deposits

Total deposits grew at the Bank primarily due to increases in PLGIT deposits of $30.0 million and wholesale certificates of deposit of $10.8 million. Growth in regular and money market savings accounts of $40.5 million were offset by a decrease in non-interest-bearing demand accounts of $29.5 million.

Borrowings

Long-term debt at June 30, 2007, includes $9.0 million in Subordinated Capital Notes, $20.6 million of Trust Preferred Securities, and $84.5 million in long-term borrowings from the FHLB. The consolidated balance sheet also includes a $1.3 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 second 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 due to fluctuations in the sweep accounts of a negative $12.4 million and decreases in federal funds purchased of $17.9 million.

Other Liabilities

Other liabilities increased primarily due to an increase in accrued expenses and an increase in the liability for payments made to private investors for participated loans.

Shareholders' Equity

Total shareholders’ equity increased since December 31, 2006 primarily due to current earnings, partially offset by cash dividends paid. The following table presents the shareholders’ equity for the periods indicated:

Retained earnings was favorably impacted by six months of net income of $12.3 million partially offset by cash dividends of $5.2 million declared during the first six months of 2007. Treasury stock increased primarily due to purchases. There is a buyback program in place that as of June 30, 2007 allows the Corporation to purchase an additional 526,571 shares of its outstanding common stock in the open market or in negotiated transactions.

Accumulated other comprehensive loss related to debt securities of $2.0 million, net of taxes, is included in shareholders' equity as of June 30, 2007. Accumulated other comprehensive loss related to debt securities of $175 thousand, net of taxes, has been included in shareholders' equity as of December 31, 2006. 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 increase/decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) was a result of improved market values of fixed rate mortgage-backed and non-mortgage-backed government agency debt securities. The market value increased/decreases are attributable to increases, from December 31, 2006 to June 30, 2007, in the 2-, 3- and 5-year treasury yields, which ranged from 5 basis points to 22 basis points.

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, benefit plans and stock-based compensation as its critical accounting policies. For more information on these critical accounting policies, please refer to our 2006 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.
 
The Corporation had used an interest-rate swap agreement that converts a portion of its floating rate commercial loans to a fixed rate basis. In this swap, the Corporation agreed to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between the fixed and floating interest rates calculated on a 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 income. The impact of the interest-rate swap on interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2006 was a negative $20 thousand. At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 the Corporation had no swaps outstanding.
 
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 wholesale certificates of deposit. At June 30, 2007 the bank had $59.6 million in wholesale certificates of deposits. The Corporation also 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.

- 24 -

 
The Corporation, through its Bank, has short-term and long-term credit facilities with the FHLB with a maximum borrowing capacity of approximately $347.5 million. At June 30, 2007, the Corporation's outstanding borrowings under the FHLB credit facilities totaled $84.5 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 $112.0 million. At June 30, 2007, 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 June 30, 2007, 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 June 30, 2007, 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.

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. 

Pennsylvania Local Government Investment Trust (“PLGIT”) deposits are public funds collateralized with a letter of credit that PLGIT maintains with the FHLB; therefore, the Corporation is not required to provide collateral on these deposits. These standby letters of credit are issued by the FHLB on behalf of the Corporation, which is the account party on the letters of credit and therefore is obligated to reimburse the FHLB for all payments made under the standby letter of credit. The Corporation’s exposure is represented by the contractual amount of these instruments.
 
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

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reach a conclusion on EITF No. 06-4, “Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements,” (“EITF 06-4.”) EITF 06-4 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. Under EITF 06-4, if an agreement is to provide the employee with a death benefit in a postretirement/termination period, the employer should recognize a liability for the future death benefit in accordance with either Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 106 or Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 12. EITF 06-4 requires that recognition of the effects of adoption should be either by (a) a change in accounting principle through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the year of adoption or (b) a change in accounting principle through retrospective application to all prior periods. The potential impact to Univest will be negative cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings of approximately $1.6 million and would not be tax affected.

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies when other accounting pronouncement require fair value measurements; it does not require new fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and for interim periods within those years. The Corporation does not anticipate the adoption of SFAS 157 to have a material impact on its financial statements.
 
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115)” (“SFAS 159.”) SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective of SFAS 159 is to improve financial reporting by allowing entities to minimize volatility in reported earnings caused by related assets and liabilities being measured differently. Most of the provisions of SFAS 159 apply only to entities that elect the fair value option. However, SFAS 159 includes an amendment to SFAS 115 which applies to all entities with available-for-sale and trading securities. Entities electing the fair value option will report unrealized gains and losses in earnings and recognize upfront costs and fees related to those items in earnings as they are incurred, not deferred. The following items are eligible for the fair value measurement option established by SFAS 159: 1) Recognized financial assets and financial liabilities, except (a) an investment in a subsidiary that is required to be consolidated, (b) an interest in a variable interest entity that is required to be consolidated, (c) obligations (or assets representing net over funded positions) for pension plans, other postretirement benefits, post employment benefits, employee stock option and stock purchase plans, and other forms of deferred compensation arrangements, (d) financial assets and liabilities recognized under leases, (e) demand deposit liabilities of financial institutions, and (f) financial instruments classified by the issuer as a component of shareholder’s equity; 2) firm commitments that would otherwise not be recognized at inception and that involve only financial instruments; 3) nonfinancial insurance contracts and warranties that the insurer can settle by paying a third party to provide those goods or services; and, 4) host financial instruments resulting from separation of an embedded nonfinancial derivative instrument from a nonfinancial hybrid instrument. The fair value option may be applied on an instrument-by-instrument basis, with a few exceptions, such as investments otherwise accounted for by the equity method or multiple advanced made to one borrower under a single contract. The fair value option is irrevocable unless a new election date occurs and applies only to entire instruments and not to portions of instruments. Entities are permitted to elect fair value option for any eligible item within the scope of SFAS 159 at the date they initially adopt the SFAS 159. The adjustment to reflect the difference between the fair value and the current carrying amount of the assets and liabilities for which an entity elects fair value option is reported as a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings upon adoption. SFAS 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s second fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provisions of SFAS 157. The Corporation chose not to adopt SFAS 159 early. The Corporation does not anticipate the adoption of SFAS 159 to have a material impact on its financial statements.
