Dear Shareholders:
It is my privilege to report Harleysville National Corporation’s (HNC) earnings and key corporate highlights for the third quarter, 2006. Many of you may know me as President and CEO of Harleysville National Bank (HNB), a part of HNC’s executive management team and a member of HNB and HNC’s Boards of Directors. Recently, I was appointed interim President and CEO of the Corporation by the HNC Board, in addition to my responsibilities with the Bank. Our management team is working diligently to move your company forward.
 
Third quarter 2006 diluted and basic earnings per share were $.27 compared to $.34 and $.35, respectively, for the third quarter of 2005. Net income for the third quarter of 2006 was $7.9 million compared to $10.2 million during the same period in 2005. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, diluted and basic earnings per share were $.89 and $.90, as compared to $.98 and $1.00, respectively in the comparable period of 2005. Net income for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006, was $26.1 million compared to $29.0 million during the same nine months of 2005. Continued net interest margin compression has made maintaining historical rates of earnings growth challenging, but we are encouraged by our growth in total deposits and noninterest income. Year over year, wealth management income has more than doubled while total deposits increased 11.9%, albeit most being in higher cost deposits.
 
Our immediate efforts are being directed toward improving income by executing our strategic initiative of increasing the commercial loan portfolio, especially variable rate loans. Competition for commercial customers is particularly fierce, yet we are ever mindful of maintaining our strong credit quality. We have made steady progress with other strategic initiatives including market expansion and our corporate campus construction project.

Since breaking ground on our corporate campus construction project in April, our new building has rapidly taken shape. Our expanded operations center will increase efficiency by consolidating several departments whose employees are currently dispersed at multiple locations. We anticipate moving into our new campus early next year.
 
Through our market evaluation process, we identified further expansion into Bucks County as a priority. Previously announced plans to build a new location in Warminster are underway with an anticipated spring 2007 opening. We are happy to report that we also located a site in Warrington and will construct a branch at the intersection of Titus and Easton Roads (Route 611). We project a late 2007 opening.
 
In July, we entered into an agreement with First National Community Bank to sell our Honesdale branch. The sale will allow us to focus on market expansion and help provide the resources required to support strategic initiatives. We expect the sale of our single Wayne County branch to close in the fourth quarter. It is anticipated that we will record a profit of approximately $.23 per share, diluted, net of tax*. Branch personnel have been offered similar positions with First National Community Bank and our teams are working together to ensure a smooth transition.
 
Thank you for your continued support of Harleysville National Corporation. As we move forward, we will remain focused on improving performance, implementing key strategic initiatives and working hard to deliver value to you, our loyal shareholders.
 
Sincerely,
 
/s/ Deb Takes

President and CEO
