Yardville National Bancorp Announces Earnings for Second Quarter of 2007

Yardville National Bancorp, (Nasdaq: YANB - News) today reported net income for the second quarter of 2007 of $3.1 million or $0.27 per diluted share. This compares to $5.1 million or $0.45 per diluted share reported at June 30, 2006. For the first six months of 2007, YNB's net income was $8.3 million, or $0.72 per diluted share, compared with $10.2 million or $0.90 per diluted share for the first six months of 2006.

Impacting YNB's results for the three- and six-month periods were higher non-interest expenses and lower net interest income.

The higher non-interest expenses for the second quarter of 2007 and for the first six months are primarily attributable to legal and other expenses related to YNB's consideration of strategic alternatives. For the second quarter, non-interest expenses were $15.6 million compared to $14.3 million for the same quarter in 2006. These expenses rose 9.6% to $30.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to $27.7 million at June 30, 2006. The legal and other expenses related to the search for strategic alternatives totaled approximately $900,000 and $1.2 million for the second quarter and first six months of 2007, respectively. On June 6, 2007, YNB entered into an agreement to be acquired by The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. (NYSE: PNC - News).

YNB's net interest income for the second quarter was negatively impacted by decreases in commercial loans and higher retail deposit costs. Higher deposit costs were a primary factor in YNB's decrease in the tax equivalent net interest margin for the second quarter, as the margin moved from 3.37% in the first quarter of 2007 to 3.21% for the second quarter. For the first half of 2007, YNB's tax equivalent net interest margin was 3.29% compared to 3.04% for the first half of 2006. The December 2006 balance sheet restructure was the principal contributing factor to the margin improvement year over year.

Despite a 1.4% decline in average total loans due to increased competition on rates and terms, the sluggishness of the real estate market, and higher paydowns of existing loan relationships, overall loan income increased for the first six months of 2007 compared to the same period in 2006 due to higher yields. The higher cost of deposits was the principal factor in the decline of net interest income of $2.0 million, or 4.7% for the first six months of 2007 compared to the first six months of 2006.

Nonperforming assets at June 30, 2007 totaled $28.5 million, or 1.11% of total assets, and the allowance for loan losses was 1.30% of total loans covering 87.88% of nonperforming loans. Nonperforming assets at year-end 2006 were $29.5 million.

Average deposits increased $42.2 million for the first six months of 2007 compared to the same period in 2006, as YNB reduced its reliance on more expensive wholesale funding sources during this period. YNB continues its focus on attracting new retail relationships and expanding its small business sector by opening new branches in contiguous marketplaces. Additional branches in Lawrence Township near Princeton and in Cranbury, Middlesex County, both in New Jersey, opened for business early in the third quarter. The former is an excellent fill-in to YNB's northern Mercer County presence, while the latter connects southern Middlesex with the northeastern sector of Mercer County in a growing market populated by new businesses and an expanding population of affluent retirees.

"Our transaction with PNC is proceeding on schedule, and pending the shareholder vote and regulatory approvals, is anticipated to close in the fourth quarter of this year," explained YNB President and Chief Operating Officer F. Kevin Tylus. "Transition teams are in place and working well together toward our objective of a seamless integration of our two companies with little or no disruption for customers," he added.

All of YNB's capital ratios remain above regulatory requirements. Total risk-based capital was 13.0%, Tier 1 capital to risk-based assets was 11.9%, and Tier 1 capital to average assets was 9.9%. YNB has paid dividends to its shareholders for the past 54 consecutive quarters.

With $2.56 billion in assets as of June 30, 2007, YNB serves individuals and small- to mid-sized businesses in the dynamic New York City-Philadelphia corridor. As of July 23, 2007, YNB had a network of 35 branches in Mercer, Hunterdon, Somerset, Middlesex, Burlington, and Ocean counties in New Jersey and Bucks County in Pennsylvania. Headquartered in Mercer County, YNB emphasizes commercial lending and offers a broad range of lending, deposit and other financial products and services.

    (1)   The net interest margin is equal to net interest income divided by
          average interest earning assets. In order to make pre-tax income and
          resultant yields on tax-exempt investments and loans on a basis
          comparable to those on taxable investments and loans, a tax
          equivalent adjustment is made to interest income. The tax equivalent
          adjustment has been computed using the appropriate Federal income
          tax rate for the period, and has the effect of increasing interest
          income by $567,000 and $535,000 for the three month periods and
          $1,122,000 and $1,070,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and
          2006, respectively.
    (2)   Tier 1 leverage ratio is Tier 1 capital to adjusted quarterly
          average assets.

    (1) Loan origination fees are considered an adjustment to interest income.
        For the purpose of calculating loan yields, average loan balances
        include nonaccrual balances with no related interest income.
    (2) The interest rate spread is the difference between the average yield
        on interest earning assets and average rate paid on interest bearing
        liabilities.
    (3) The net interest margin is equal to net interest income divided by
        average interest earning assets.
    (4) In order to make pre-tax income and resultant yields on tax-exempt
        investments and loans on a basis comparable to those on taxable
        investments and loans, a tax equivalent adjustment is made to interest
        income. The tax equivalent adjustment has been computed using the
        appropriate Federal income tax rate for the period and has the effect
        of increasing interest income by $567,000 and $535,000 for the three
        month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

    (1) Loan origination fees are considered an adjustment to interest income.
        For the purpose of calculating loan yields, average loan balances
        include nonaccrual balances with no related interest income.
    (2) The interest rate spread is the difference between the average yield
        on interest earning assets and average rate paid on interest bearing
        liabilities.
    (3) The net interest margin is equal to net interest income divided by
        average interest earning assets.
    (4) In order to make pre-tax income and resultant yields on tax-exempt
        investments and loans on a basis comparable to those on taxable
        investments and loans, a tax equivalent adjustment is made to interest
        income. The tax equivalent adjustment has been computed using the
        appropriate Federal income tax rate for the period and has the effect
        of increasing interest income by $1,122,000 and $1,070,000 for the six
        month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
