On January 1, 2008, the Corporation adopted Emerging Issues Task Force No. 06-4, “Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements” (“EITF 06-4.”) Under EITF 06-4, if an agreement is to provide an 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, “Employers’ Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions” 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 Corporation chose option (a) as its method of adoption for EITF 06-4.

Note 7. Income Taxes

As of January 1, 2008 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. Tax Years 2004 through 2007 remain subject to Federal examination as well as examination by state taxing jurisdictions.

Note 8. Fair Value Disclosures

As of January 1, 2008 and effective for the reporting period ended March 31, 2008, the Corporation adopted SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157.”) SFAS 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair measurements. SFAS 157 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The Corporation does not currently hold any trading assets, derivative contracts or other financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis that were impacted by the adoption of SFAS 157.

SFAS 157 establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Corporation. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Corporation’s assumptions that the market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of inputs as follows:

 
§
Level 1—Valuations are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Corporation has the ability to access. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these products does not entail a significant degree of judgment. Assets and liabilities utilizing Level 1 inputs include: Exchange-traded equity and most U.S. Government securities.

 
§
Level 2—Valuations are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly. Assets and liabilities utilizing Level 2 inputs include: most U.S. Government agency mortgage-backed debt securities (“MBS”), corporate debt securities, corporate and municipal bonds, asset-backed securities (“ABS”), residential mortgage loans held for sale and mortgage servicing rights.

 
§
Level 3—Valuations are based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. Assets and liabilities utilizing Level 3 inputs include: financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash-flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the fair value calculation requires significant management judgment or estimation. These assets and liabilities include: certain commercial mortgage obligations (“CMOs”), MBS and ABS securities; and not readily marketable equity investments.

- 7 -


Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.

Investment Securities

Where quoted prices are available in an active market for identical instruments, investment securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Level 1 investment securities include highly liquid U.S. Treasury securities, U.S. Government sponsored enterprises, and most equity securities. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics or discounted cash flows. Examples of such instruments, which would generally be classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy, include certain MBS, CMOs, ABS and municipal bonds. In cases where there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation, investment securities are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. Investment securities classified within Level 3 include certain equity securities that do not have readily available market prices, certain municipal bonds, certain ABS and other less liquid investment securities.

Loans Held for Sale

The fair value of the Corporation’s loans held for sale are generally determined using a pricing model based on current market information obtained from external sources, including, interest rates, and bids or indications provided by market participants on specific loans that are actively marketed for sale. The Company’s loans held for sale are primarily residential mortgage loan and are generally classified in Level 2 due to the observable pricing data.

 
Mortgage Servicing Rights

The Corporation estimates the fair value of Mortgage Servicing Rights (“MRS”) using discounted cash flow models that calculate the present value of estimated future net servicing income. The model uses readily available prepayment speed assumptions for the current interest rates of the portfolios serviced. MSRs are classified within level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. MSRs are carried at the lower of amortized cost or estimated fair value.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, all of which were measured at fair value prior to the adoption of SFAS 157, are summarized below:

Note 9. Related-Party Transactions

During the first quarter of 2008, Univest purchased $29.4 million in tax-free municipal bonds issued on behalf of Grand View Hospital. William S. Aichele, Chairman, President and CEO of the Corporation, and P. Gregory Shelly, Director of the Corporation, are members of the Board of Trustees for Grand View Hospital.

Note 10. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 enhances disclosures about fair value of derivative instruments and their gains or losses and the company’s objectives and strategies for using derivative instruments and whether or not they are designated as hedging instruments. SFAS 161 is effective prospectively for interim periods and fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The Corporation does not anticipate the adoption of SFAS 161 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 11. Subsequent Event

On April 7, 2008 a retired key employee passed away. The Corporation held several BOLI policies on this individual for which the death benefit exceeded the cash surrender value. In the Second Quarter of 2008, the Corporation expects to record this excess into income which is approximated to be $1.4 million.

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. Univest Capital, 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 three months ended March 31, 2008 of $6.7 million, a 7.6% increase over the March 31, 2007 period. Basic and diluted net income per share increased 8.3%.
 
Average earning assets increased $93.0 million and average interest-bearing liabilities increased $92.9 million when comparing the three-month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007. Increased volume on other securities, federal funds sold and lease financings along with decreased rates on money market savings were partially offset by decreased rates on commercial business loans and commercial and construction real estate loans; this contributed to a $486 thousand increase in net interest income. The tax-equivalent net interest margin declined to 3.66% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008 compared to 3.81% for the same period in 2007.

Non-interest income grew 10.7%, when comparing the three-month periods ended March 31, 2008 to 2007, primarily due to increases in trust fee income, insurance commissions and fee income and life insurance income. Non-interest expense grew 3.4% primarily due to increases in salary and employee benefits, net occupancy expenses and marketing and advertising expense. These increases were offset by a slight decrease in equipment expense.

The Corporation earns its revenues primarily from the margins and fees it generates from loans and leases 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; conversely, as interest rates decline, fixed-rate assets that banks hold will tend to increase in value. The Corporation maintains a relatively neutral interest rate risk profile and anticipates that an increase or decrease within 200 basis points in interest rates would not significantly impact 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.

Results of Operations – Three Months Ended March 31, 2008 Versus 2007

Return on average shareholders' equity was 13.41% and return on average assets was 1.34% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to 13.33% and 1.31%, respectively, for the same period in 2007.

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. Table 1 presents a summary of the Corporation's average balances; the tax-equivalent yields earned on average assets, and the cost of average liabilities, and shareholders’ equity on a tax-equivalent basis for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007. Table 2 analyzes the changes in the tax-equivalent net interest income for the periods broken down by their rate and volume components. 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 stable net interest margin for the Corporation.

Net interest income increased $486 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to 2007 primarily due to increased volume on lease financings, increased volume on federal funds sold and increased volume on other securities; partially offset by decreased volume and rates on commercial loans, increased volume and rates on regular savings deposits as well as decreased volume on certificates of deposit. The decrease in rates is attributable to the 200 basis point reduction in the prime interest rate that occurred during the first quarter of 2008. The tax-equivalent net interest margin, which is tax-equivalent net interest income as a percentage of average interest-earning assets, was 3.66% and 3.81% for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, 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 3.19% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to 3.24% for the same period in 2007. The effect of net interest free funding sources decreased to 0.47% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to 0.57% for the same period in 2007; this represents the effect on the net interest margin of net funding provided by noninterest-earning assets, noninterest-bearing liabilities and shareholders’ equity.

Interest Income

Interest income on U. S. Government obligations decreased due to a decline in average volume that was offset by an increase in average rates. Interest income on obligations of states and political subdivisions increased due to average volume increases that were offset by a decline in average rates. Interest income on other securities increased primarily due to average volume increases on mortgage-backed securities. Interest income increased on federal funds sold was due primarily to increases in average volume.

The decline in interest and fees on loans and leases is due primarily to average rate decreases on commercial business loans, real estate - commercial and construction, and municipal loans and leases. The rate decreases are attributable to the 200 basis point decline in prime rate which occurred during the first quarter of 2008. The average interest yield on the commercial loan portfolio decreased 93 basis points; which, along with average volume decline of $50.8 million, contributed to a $1.8 million decrease in interest income. The average volume decline on loans to individuals of $16.4 million, contributed to a $262 thousand decrease in interest income. The average interest yield decreased on municipal loans and leases of 21 basis points, combined with the average volume decline of $11.3 million, contributed to a $210 thousand decrease in interest income. These decreases were offset by an increase in average volume on lease financings of $33.0 million; this contributed to a $775 thousand increase in interest income.

Interest Expense

The Corporation’s average rate on deposits decreased 35 basis points for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to the same period in 2007. The average rate decrease is attributable to the 200 basis point decline in prime rate which occurred during the first quarter of 2008. The average rate paid on money market savings decreased 107 basis points while the average volume increased $121.7 million; the net effect contributed to a $37 thousand decrease in interest expense. The increase in money market savings was primarily due to a $92.6 million short-term deposit received from one customer. Interest on regular savings increased $371 thousand due to an average rate increase of 30 basis points and an average volume increase of $49.1 million. Interest on certificates of deposit decreased $320 thousand, due to a $48.9 million average decrease in volume that was offset by a 16 basis-point increase in average rate. Interest on other time deposit accounts decreased $136 thousand due to average rate decrease of 135 basis points and an average balance decrease of $9.7 million. Average rate decreases along with the average volume growth of $115.1 million, contributed to an $88 thousand decrease 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 short-term borrowings decreased $638 thousand in the aggregate during the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to 2007 primarily due to average volume decreases of $37.5 million and a 27 basis-point decline in rates.

Interest expense on long-term debt increased $127 thousand primarily due to a volume increase of $15.8 million partially offset by a 27 basis-point decrease in the rate paid on FHLB long term 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 and leases, current economic conditions, various types of lending activity, policies, real estate and other loan commitments, and significant changes in charged-off activity. Loans and leases are also reviewed for impairment based on discounted cash flows using the loans' an leases’ initial effective interest rates or the fair value of the collateral for certain collateral dependent loans as provided for under SFAS No. 114, “Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan” (“SFAS 114”). Any of the above criteria may cause the reserve to fluctuate. The provision for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 was $999 thousand and $624 thousand, respectively.

Non-interest Income

Non-interest income consists of trust department fee income, service charges on deposits, 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 represents changes in the cash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance policies and any excess proceeds from death benefit claims. Total non-interest income increased during the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to 2007 primarily due to a death benefit claim resulting in additional income of $489.0 thousand, increases in trust fee income and higher insurance commission and fee income. These increases were offset by declines in investment advisory commission and fee income and other service fee income.

Trust fee income increased in 2008 over 2007 primarily due to an increase in the number and market value of managed accounts. Service charges on deposit accounts remained relatively constant when comparing the first quarter of 2008 to the same period in 2007.

Investment advisory commissions and fee income, the primary source of income for Univest Investments, Inc., decreased in 2008 over 2007 due to market fluctuations that resulted in decreased fees and commissions received. Insurance commissions and fee income, the primary source of income for Univest Insurance, Inc. increased in 2008 over 2007 primarily due to an increase in contingent commissions received from insurance carriers. This was partially offset by decreased fees and commission due to market conditions.

Life insurance income is primarily the change in the cash surrender values of bank owned life insurance policies, which is affected by the market value of the underlying assets. Life insurance income may also be recognized as the result of a death benefit claim. The increase recognized in the first quarter of 2008 over 2007 was primarily due to additional income resulting from a death benefit claim of $489.0 thousand.
 
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 decreased for the first quarter of 2008 over 2007 primarily due to decreases in the fair market value of mortgage servicing rights and official check fees. These decreases were offset slightly by an increase in Mastermoney fees.

Other non-interest income includes losses 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 a $66 thousand increase in the sale of loans and leases as detailed below.

Gains on Sale of Assets

Sales of $1.6 million in loans and leases during the three months ended March 31, 2008 resulted in gains of $81 thousand compared to sales of $244 thousand for gains of $5 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2007.

During the three months ended March 31, 2008, approximately $5.4 million of securities were sold recognizing gains of $56 thousand. During the three months ended March 31, 2007, the Corporation sold $4.2 million in securities that resulted in no material gains or losses. 

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.

Salaries and benefits increased due to increases in special effort awards and stock-based compensation expense. Net occupancy costs increased due to increases in rental expense on leased properties. This increase was offset slightly by an increase in rental income on leased office space.

Equipment expense decreased slightly due to the reduction of furniture and equipment rental costs and depreciation expense of capitalized furniture and equipment. These decreases were offset by increases in computer software licenses and maintenance. Marketing and advertising expenses increased primarily due to increases in all other marketing expenses and magazine and billboard advertising, partially offset by decreases in newspaper advertising and agency retainer fees. Other expenses increased slightly primarily due to consultant fees. This increase was offset by decreases in all other insurance costs; pension and deferred salary savings plan administration fees and director’s fees.

Tax Provision

The provision for income taxes was $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and March 31, 2007, at the effective rates of 25.2% and 27.1%, 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 increases in the cash surrender value and income from death benefit claims on bank-owned life insurance which was partially offset by income growth.

Assets

Total assets increased $87.1 million since December 31, 2007. The increase was primarily due to net growth in cash, deposits and federal funds sold and investment securities. The following table presents the assets for the periods indicated:

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 cash, deposits and federal funds sold increased primarily due to an increase of $30.0 million in securities purchased under agreement to resell for pledging purposes. Total investments increased primarily due to security purchases of $156.3 million that were partially offset by maturities of $68.1 million and sales and calls of $42.4 million.

- 16 -


Loans and Leases

Total loans and leases increased in the three months ended March 31, 2008 due to increases in commercial, financial, agricultural loans of $7.4 million, real estate construction loans of $3.7 million and lease financings of $8.6 million. These increases were partially offset by decreases in real estate commercial loans of $5.5 million, real estate residential loans of $5.8 million and loans to individuals of $6.0 million.

Asset Quality

Performance of the entire loan and lease 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 or lease, including a loan or lease impaired under SFAS 114, is classified as nonaccrual, the accrual of interest on such a loan or lease is discontinued. A loan or lease 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 or lease may remain on accrual status if it is in the process of collection and is either guaranteed or well secured. When a loan or lease is placed on nonaccrual status, unpaid interest credited to income is reversed. Interest received on nonaccrual loans and leases is either applied against principal or reported as interest income, according to management's judgment as to the collectibility of principal.

Loans and leases 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 and leases totaled $6.2 million at March 31, 2008, $6.9 million at December 31, 2007 and $7.8 million at March 31, 2007 and consist mainly of commercial loans and real estate related commercial loans. For the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, nonaccrual loans and leases resulted in lost interest income of $142 thousand and $198 thousand, respectively. Loans and leases 90 days or more past due totaled $3.5 million at March 31, 2008, $1.9 million at December 31, 2007 and $1.2 million at March 31, 2007. There was no other real estate owned at March 31, 2008, December 31, 2007 or at March 31, 2007. The Corporation's ratio of nonperforming assets to total loans and leases and other real estate owned was 0.71% at March 31, 2008, 0.65% at December 31, 2007 and .67% at March 31, 2007.

At March 31, 2008, the recorded investment in loans and leases that are considered to be impaired under SFAS 114 was $6.2 million, all of which were on a nonaccrual basis; the related reserve for loan and lease losses for those credits was $1.7 million. At December 31, 2007, the recorded investment in loans and leases that are considered to be impaired under SFAS 114 was $6.9 million, all of which were on a nonaccrual basis. The related reserve for loan and lease losses for those credits was $1.8 million. At March 31, 2007, the recorded investment in loans and leases that are considered to be impaired under SFAS 114 was $7.8 million and the related reserve for loan and lease losses for those credits was $1.5 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.

Reserve for Loan and Lease Losses

Management believes the reserve for loan and lease 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 and lease loss experience, current economic conditions and trends, and the volume, growth, and composition of the 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 loans and leases, 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 and leases are evaluated individually. All other loans and leases 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 and lease 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 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.

- 17 -


Wholesale leasing portfolios are purchased by the Bank’s subsidiary, Univest Capital, Inc. Credit losses on these purchased portfolios are largely the responsibility of the seller up to pre-set dollar amounts initially equal to 10 to 20 percent of the portfolio purchase amount. The dollar amount of recourse for purchased portfolios is inclusive of cash holdbacks and purchase discounts.

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 loans 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 and leases 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 reserve for loan and lease losses consists of an allocated reserve and unallocated reserve categories. The allocated reserve is comprised of reserves established on specific loans and leases, and class reserves based on historical loan and lease loss experience, current trends, and management assessments. The unallocated reserve is based on both general economic conditions and other risk factors in the Corporation’s individual markets and portfolios.

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 lease grading process in conjunction with associated allowance factors. The Corporation revises the class allowance factors whenever necessary, but no less than quarterly, in order to address improving or deteriorating credit quality trends or specific risks associated with a given loan or lease pool classification.

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

The reserve for loan and lease losses decreased $89 thousand from December 31, 2007 to March 31, 2008 primarily due to a large commercial loan charge off of $500 thousand that occurred as a result of the deterioration of the underlying collateral of the loan. 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 and leases was 0.96% at March 31, 2008 and 0.97% at December 31, 2007.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

The corporation has goodwill of $44.6 million, which is deemed to be an indefinite intangible asset and in accordance with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS 142”), is no longer amortized. The Corporation also has intangible assets due to bank and branch acquisitions, core deposit intangibles, covenants not to compete (in favor of the Corporation), 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.

In accordance with SFAS 142, the Corporation conducts an annual impairment analysis on all intangible assets during the fourth quarter to determine if impairment of the asset exists. Additionally, throughout the year, the Corporation reviews its intangible assets for indicators of impairment in accordance with SFAS 142. At March 31, 2008, there was no impairment indicated.

Liabilities

Total liabilities increased since December 31, 2007 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

Total deposits grew at the Bank primarily due to increases in money market savings accounts of $92.0 million, primarily due to a $92.6 million short-term deposit received from one customer that is expected to leave the Bank in the second quarter of 2008, and increases in regular savings of $25.9 million. These increases were partially offset by decreases in Pennsylvania Local Government Investment Trust (“PLGIT”) certificates of deposits of $30.0 million and interest-bearing checking accounts of $9.1 million; a portion of these decreases was due to movement into higher-yielding money market products.

Borrowings

Long-term borrowings at March 31, 2008, included $7.9 million in Subordinated Capital Notes, $20.6 million of Trust Preferred Securities, and $94.5 million in long-term borrowings from the FHLB. The consolidated balance sheet also includes a $972 thousand fair market value adjustment relating to FHLB long-term borrowings acquired in the First County Bank and Suburban Community Bank acquisitions. Long-term borrowings increased due to the issuance of an additional $10.0 million in FHLB borrowings. 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 a decline in the sweep accounts of $16.2 million.

Shareholders' Equity

Total shareholders’ equity increased since December 31, 2007 primarily due to current earnings and a reduction in accumulated other comprehensive loss; these increases were partially offset by cash dividends paid. The following table presents the shareholders’ equity for the periods indicated:

Retained earnings were favorably impacted by three months of net income of $6.7 million partially offset by cash dividends of $2.6 million declared during the first three months of 2008. Treasury stock decreased primarily due to sales for the employee stock purchase plan and restricted stock awards. There is a buyback program in place that allows the Corporation to purchase an additional 643,782 shares of its outstanding common stock in the open market or in negotiated transactions.

Accumulated other comprehensive income related to securities of $3.5 million, net of taxes, is included in shareholders' equity as of March 31, 2008. Accumulated other comprehensive income related to securities of $1.9 million, net of taxes, has been included in shareholders' equity as of December 31, 2007. Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) related to 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 recovery in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) was a result of increases in the market values of non-mortgage-backed government agency debt securities, mortgage-backed government agency debt securities and other mortgage-backed securities.

Accumulated other comprehensive loss related to pension and other post-retirement benefits amounted to $3.6 million as of March 31, 2008. Accumulated other comprehensive loss related to pension and other post-retirement benefits amount to $3.7 million at December 31, 2007. The change in the accumulated other comprehensive income loss related to pension and other post-retirement benefits represent the changes in the actuarial gains and losses and the prior service costs and credits that arise during the period.

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 and lease 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 2007 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 interest-sensitivity gap analysis and simulation techniques to quantify its exposure to interest rate risk. The Corporation uses the gap analysis 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.

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.

The Bank purchases Certificates from PLGIT to augment its short-term fixed funding sources. The PLGIT deposits are public funds collateralized with a letter of credit that PLGIT maintains with the FHLB; therefore, Univest National Bank is not required to provide collateral on these deposits. At March 31, 2008, the Bank had $20.0 million in PLGIT deposits.

The Corporation, through the Bank, has short-term and long-term credit facilities with the FHLB with a maximum borrowing capacity of approximately $341.5 million. At March 31, 2008, outstanding long-term borrowings with FHLB totaled $94.5 million and there was an outstanding irrevocable standby letter of credit of $29.0 million. The maximum borrowing capacity changes as a function of 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 $77.0 million. At March 31, 2008, 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 March 31, 2008, 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 presents, as of March 31, 2008, 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.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 enhances disclosures about fair value of derivative instruments and their gains or losses and the company’s objectives and strategies for using derivative instruments and whether or not they are designated as hedging instruments. SFAS 161 is effective prospectively for interim periods and fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The Corporation does not anticipate the adoption of SFAS 161 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
