Net Interest Margin Improving

*The core non-interest income numbers shown above are non-GAAP financial measures as they exclude other-than-temporary impairment on CDO
investments, net losses/(gains) from fair value changes on National Penn’s trust preferred securities, and net losses/(gains) on sales of investment
securities. These amounts excluded from GAAP non-interest income are as follows: 3Q08 - $20,000, $(7,641), and $(276); 4Q08 - $79,496, $(6,527),
and $(12); 1Q09 - $7,785, $1,898, and $2,284; 2Q09 - $7,136, $(51), and $0; 3Q09 - $84,704, $6,249, and $863, respectively. Management believes
that the presentation of non-interest income excluding the impact of the specified non-recurring items provides information that is comparable to prior
periods, and therefore is essential to a proper understanding of the financial information presented for National Penn.

amount of $55,204 excludes a fraud expense of $4,500. The 2Q09 amount of $58,027 excludes a FDIC Special Assessment of $4,625. The 3Q09 amount of
$56,180 excludes a insurance recovery of $4,028. Management believes that the presentation of non-interest expense excluding the impact of the specified
non-recurring items provides information that is comparable to prior periods, and therefore is essential to a proper understanding of the financial information
presented for National Penn.

Intention to Dispose of CDO Portfolio

l Continued deterioration in underlying issuers results
in additional reclassification of OCI into OTTI

l Deterioration in collateral/future cashflows available

l Structure of securities - lower rated tranches

l Deterioration in value not primarily market related

l Short term window to maximize current cash benefit

Overview of the Impact of Our Intention
to Dispose of CDO Portfolio

Overview of Tax Advantageous Timing

l Carry-back available for a portion of the loss
results in expected refund of previously paid
taxes approximately $27 million

l Remainder of loss available to offset future
taxable income

l Sales to take place beginning in 4Q09

Deferred Tax Asset

l Net of carry back available of approximately $27 million,
the net deferred tax asset is $72 million

l Deferred tax asset as an industry (and NPBC) increasing
due to items expensed for GAAP but not for tax, such as:

– Increased loan loss reserve with expense not recognized for tax
until charged off/disposed

– GAAP required FMV adjustments through OTTI and OCI that are
not tax deductible until securities sold

l Deferred tax asset evaluation more restrictive for
regulatory calculation as compared to GAAP
