1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION
- -------------------------                
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared in
accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and do not include information or
footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial condition, results
of operations, and cash flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. Reference is made to Lakeland Bancorp, Inc.'s (the "Corporation")
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995, for information
regarding the Corporation's audited financial statements. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments)
necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements have
been included. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31,
1996, are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for
the entire fiscal year.

            
            
2.  NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE
- -------------------------------            
Net income per share of common stock is calculated based on the weighted average
number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. On May 24, 1995,
the Corporation's Board of Directors authorized a 5% stock dividend, which was
distributed on June 30, 1995. On September 13, 1995, the Corporation's Board of
Directors authorized a 100% stock dividend, which was distributed on October 25,
1995. Per share amounts have been retroactively restated to give effect to these
stock dividends.
           
            
3.  NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
- ----------------------------            
Effective January 1, 1995, the Corporation adopted Financial Accounting 
Standards Board ("FASB") Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 
("Statement") Nos. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan" and 
No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan - Income 
Recognition and Disclosures".  The provisions of these statements are 
applicable to all loans, uncollateralized as well as collateralized, except 
large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans that are collectively 
evaluated for impairment and loans that are measured at fair value or at the 
lower of cost or fair value and to all loans that are renegotiated in a 
troubled debt restructuring involving a modification of terms.
            
Statement No. 114 requires that impaired loans be measured based on the 
present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective 
interest rate, or as a practical expedient, at the loan's observable market 
price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent, 
except that loans renegotiated as part of a trouble debt restructuring 
subsequent to the adoption of Statement Nos. 114 and 118 must be measured for 
impairment by discounting the total expected cash flow under the renegotiated 
terms at each loan's original effective interest rate.

3.  NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS (Cont'd.)
- ----------------------------            

A loan evaluated for impairment pursuant to Statement No. 114 is deemed to be
impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the
Corporation will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the
contractual terms of the loan agreement. An insignificant payment delay, which
is defined as up to 90 days by the Corporation, will not cause a loan to be
classified as impaired. A loan is not impaired during a period of delay in
payment if the Corporation expects to collect all amounts due, including
interest accrued at the contractual interest rate for the period of delay. Thus,
a demand loan or other loan with no stated maturity is not impaired if the
Corporation ex-pects to collect all amounts due, including interest accrued at
the contractual interest rate, during the period the loan is outstanding. All
loans identified as impaired are evaluated independently. The Corporation does
not aggregate such loans for evaluation purposes.

Payments received on impaired loans are applied to principal, accrued interest 
receivable and interest income, in that order.
            
The adoption of Statements No. 114 and 118 did not have a material effect on 
the Corporation's consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

                                PART I -- ITEM 2
                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


                              THREE MONTH SUMMARY

     The first three months of 1996 resulted in increased earnings for Lakeland
Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company"), when compared to the same period in 1995.  Net
income increased $28,929, or 2.44%, to $1,216,174 for the first three months of
1996 from $1,187,245 for the same period in 1995.  Net income per share remained
the same at $.37.  Increases of $88,458 in net interest income and $17,055 in
other income and a decrease of $75,505 in other expenses more than offset an
increase in income tax expense of $151,118.

     The Company's annualized return on average assets and average stockholders'
equity for the first three months of 1996 were 1.39% and 14.95%, respectively,
compared to 1.46% and 17.59%, respectively, for the same period in 1995.



                             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Total interest income increased $505,058, or 8.87% to $6,201,915 for the
three months ended March 31, 1996, when compared to $5,696,857 for the same
period in 1995.  The overall increase in this category was a result of increases
of $370,817 or 9.74% in interest earned on the loan portfolio, $130,193 or
352.61% in interest earned on federal funds sold, and $4,048 or .22% in interest
earned on the securities portfolio.

     The increase in interest income on loans was primarily attributable to an
increase in average balances of $14.5 million. The increase in interest income
on federal funds sold was attributable to an increase in average balances of
$10.4 million which more than offset a 144 basis point decrease in yield.  The
slight increase in interest income on securities was attributable to a $1.8
million increase in average balances, which offset a

7 basis point decrease in yield.

     Interest expense on deposits increased $429,918 or 21.50% to $2,429,198 for
the first quarter of 1996 compared to $1,999,280 for the same period in 1995.
This increase is attributable to a 43 basis point increase in the average rate
paid on interest-bearing deposits along with an increase of $16.4 million in
average balances.  Total interest expense increased $416,600 or 20.70%,
reflecting the aforementioned deposit factors along with $13,318 in interest
expense incurred in the first quarter of 1995 on federal funds purchased.

                                      -11-

     Net interest income increased $88,458 or 2.40% to $3,772,717 for the first
three months of 1996 from $3,684,259 for the same period in 1995, primarily as
the result of increased balances of net earning assets, which more than offset a
43 basis point decrease in net interest margin.  The annualized net interest
margin (the average yield on interest earning assets, less the average cost of
interest-bearing liabilities) decreased from 4.19% to 3.76%.  While the average
yield on earning assets remained the same at 7.58%, the average rate paid on
interest-bearing liabilities increased 43 basis points from 3.39% to 3.82%.

     The provision for loan losses remained virtually unchanged at $35,087 for
the three months ended March 31, 1996, as compared with $34,116 for the same
prior year period.  During the first quarter of 1996, the Company charged off
loans of $12,856 and recovered $12,769 in previously charged off loans compared
to $22,285 and $8,169, respectively, during the same period in 1995. The
allowance for loan losses at March 31, 1996, was 1.53% of total loans, compared
to 1.53% at December 31, 1995, and 1.69% at March 31, 1995.  The Company
believes, based on management's ongoing review of loan quality, economic
condition, loss experience, and loan growth, that the allowance for loan losses
is adequate.

     The following table sets forth for the three months ending March 31, 1996
and 1995, and for each of the years in the five years ended December 31, 1995,
the historical relationships among the amount of loans outstanding, the
allowance for loan losses, the provision for loan losses, the amount of loans
charged-off and the amount of loan recoveries:

     On January 1, 1995, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("Statement") Nos. 114 ("Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a
Loan") and 118 ("Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan -- Income
Recognition and Disclosures") as required by generally accepted accounting
principles. See Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. In
doing so, the Company has identified loans for which the provisions of these
pronouncements apply and has established criteria to determine whether such
loans are impaired. Statement No. 114 provides that the provisions of such
Statement are not applicable to large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous
loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, management
has determined that Statement Nos. 114 and 118 do not apply to the following
groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans:

                CATEGORY                          INVESTMENT
                --------                          ----------

          Mortgage:  Residential           $350,000 or less
          Mortgage:  Non-Residential        200,000 or less
          Commercial:  Unsecured             75,000 or less
          Commercial:  Secured              200,000 or less
          Consumer                             All loans
          Home Equity                       100,000 or less

     A loan evaluated under Statement No. 114 is deemed impaired when, based on
current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable
to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan
agreement.  An insignificant delay, which is defined as up to 90 days by the
Company, will not cause a loan to be classified as impaired.  A loan is not
impaired during a period of delay in payment if the Company expects to collect
all amounts due, including interest accrued at the contractual interest rate for
the period of delay. Thus, a demand loan or other loan with no stated maturity
is not impaired if the Company expects to collect all amounts due, including
interest accrued at the contractual interest rate, during the period the loan is
outstanding.  All loans identified as impaired are evaluated independently.  The
Company does not aggregate such loans for evaluation purposes.

     The Company's policy concerning non-accrual loans states that loans are
placed on a non-accrual status when payments are 90 days delinquent or more,
unless the asset is both well secured and in the process of collection.
Therefore, a loan will be considered to be impaired when it is 90 days
delinquent and it exceeds the balance guidelines for Statement No. 114 non-
           ---                                                            
applicability stated above.  It is, therefore, possible for a loan to be on non-
accrual status and not be impaired if the balance falls within the above stated
guidelines.

                                      -13-

     Statement No. 114 also requires that loans renegotiated as part of a
troubled debt restructuring be classified as impaired and measured for
impairment by discounting the total expected cash flow under the renegotiated
terms at the loan's original effective interest rate.  This requirement applies
only to loans renegotiated on or after the effective date of Statement No. 114.

     Loans, or portions thereof, are charged-off when it is determined that a
loss has occurred.  Until such time, an allowance for loan loss is maintained
for estimated losses.  With regard to interest income recognition for payments
received on impaired loans, as well as all non-accrual loans, the Company
follows FDIC guidelines, which apply any payments to principal as long as there
is doubt as to the collectibility of the loan balance.

     As of March 31, 1996, based on the above criteria, the Company classified
four commercial loans, totalling $1,291,344, and five renegotiated mortgage
loans, totalling $1,616,772, as impaired.  The impairment of these loans is
measured using the present value of future cash flows for the five renegotiated
loans and is based on the fair value of the underlying collateral for the
remaining four commercial loans.  Based upon such evaluation of these impaired
loans, $405,528 has been allocated to the allowance for loan losses.

     The following schedule sets forth certain information regarding the
Company's non-accrual, past due and renegotiated loans and other real estate
owned (as such terms are defined in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 1995) as of March 31, 1996, and as of December 31 of
each of the last five years:

     Included in the above schedule at March 31, 1996, are three non-accrual
commercial loans, totalling $751,941, one commercial loan and one mortgage loan
past due over 90 days, totalling $1,687,554, and four renegotiated loans,
totalling $468,621, which represents all loans categorized as impaired.
Therefore, Statement No. 114 has no impact on the comparability of data in the
above credit risk table.

     At March 31, 1996, non-accrual loans totaled $1,393,443, a decrease of
$151,090 compared to December 31, 1995.  This net change is primarily the result
of the addition of one commercial loan, which was previously included in the
restructured loan category, along with the removal of three commercial loans and
one home equity loan. Of the total non-accrual loans at March 31, 1996, all are
either in foreclosure, in various stages of litigation, or on a repayment
schedule. At March 31, 1996, loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing
totalled $2,205,363, an increase of $2,145,502 compared to December 31, 1995.
This net change is primarily the result of the addition of three commercial
loans and one mortgage loan, which are past due minimally over 90 days and
expected to be resolved within the next quarter, and one renegotiated mortgage
loan becoming past due over 90 days. At March 31, 1996, renegotiated loans
totalled $1,026,472, a decrease of $1,298,608 compared to December 31, 1995.
This net change is primarily the result of the previously noted renegotiated
commercial loan being placed in the non-accrual category and the previously
noted renegotiated mortgage loan becoming past due over 90 days.

     Other income increased $17,055 or 3.51% to $502,996 for the first three
months of 1996 from $485,941 for the same period in 1995.

     Other expenses decreased by $75,505 or 3.06% to $2,392,233 for the first
three months of 1996 from $2,467,738 for the same period in 1995.  Salaries and
benefits decreased by $26,028 or 1.93%.  While salaries increased by $36,179 or
3.64% due to normal salary increases, benefit expense decreased by $62,207 or
20.26% as the Company has realized a cost reduction due to a change in health
insurance plans.  Occupancy expense increased $62,670 or 25.11%.  This was
primarily the result of an increase of $38,654 or 57.38% in building
maintenance, which was the result of higher costs associated with the harsh
winter, as compared to the mild winter in 1995.  The increase of $8,157 or 3.63%
in furniture and fixtures expense is primarily the result of higher depreciation
expenses due to asset additions at the Company's thirteen offices.  Other
expenses decreased $120,304 or 18.75%.  Significant sources of changes in other
expenses included FDIC Insurance expense, which totalled the statutory minimum
of $500 in 1996 as compared to $187,429 in 1995, and other real estate owned
expense, which totalled $59,226 in 1996 as compared to no expense in 1995.  The
1996 expense was predominantly due to the payment of prior year real estate
taxes for a property which was maintained in other real estate owned.

     Income tax expense increased $151,118 or 31.41% to $632,219 for the first
three months of 1996 from $481,101 for the same period in 1995.  $70,437 of this
increase relates to the recording of a $4,330 expense of prior year taxes in
1996, as compared to a $66,107 income tax credit recorded in 1995, relating to
an overpayment of federal taxes in 1994.  The remainder of the increase in
income tax expense was due to higher pre-tax earnings.

                              FINANCIAL CONDITION

     The Company's total assets decreased $5.1 million or 1.42% from December
31, 1995, to March 31, 1996. A $3.5 million decrease in cash and cash
equivalents and a $4.1 million decrease in the Company's securities portfolio
more than offset a $2.0 million increase in the loan portfolio. The decrease in
cash and cash equivalents resulted primarily from a $6.4 million decrease in
deposits as well as cash dividend payments of $.4 million.

     At March 31, 1996, the Company's securities portfolio of $121.9 million is
segregated into classifications of "available for sale" and "held to maturity".
As required, available for sale securities are carried at fair value.
Unrealized gains and losses of $1,456,000 and $122,000, respectively, contained
in the available for sale portfolio, have been recorded, net of deferred taxes,
as a separate component of stockholders' equity.  The effect of such adjustment
at March 31, 1996, is to increase stockholders' equity by $797,000.  Securities
held to maturity continue to be carried at historical cost and, at March 31,
1996, contain unrealized gains and losses of $403,000 and $143,000,
respectively.  For the entire securities portfolio, net unrealized gains stand
at $1,594,000 at March 31, 1996, as compared with a $2,639,000 net unrealized
gain at

December 31, 1995.  Such decline is a reflection of the increase in market
interest rates experienced during the first three months of 1996 and its effect
on debt security market values.

     See notes 4 and 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

     Total deposits decreased $6.4 million or 1.95% from December 31, 1995, to
March 31, 1996. This was primarily due to a decrease of $6.5 million in non-
interest bearing demand deposits. Time deposits at March 31, 1996, represented
31.68% of total deposits as compared to 30.64% at December 31, 1995.

     Stockholders' equity increased $734,000 or 2.29% as net income of $1.2
million and $338,000 in dividend reinvestments were partially offset by
dividends paid to stockholders of $423,000 and a $397,000 decrease in the equity
component related to available for sale securities.

CAPITAL  RESOURCES

     In March 1989, the FDIC adopted a risk-based capital policy statement which
imposed a minimum capital standard on insured banks.  The minimum ratio of risk-
based capital to risk-weighted assets (including certain off-balance sheet
items, such as standby letters of credit) is now 8%.  At least half of the total
capital is to be comprised of common stock equity and qualifying perpetual
preferred stock, less goodwill ("Tier I capital").  The remainder ("Tier II
capital") may consist of mandatory convertible debt securities, qualifying
subordinated debt, other preferred stock and a portion of the allowance for loan
losses. The Federal Reserve Board adopted a similar risk-based capital guideline
for the Company which is computed on a consolidated basis.

     In addition, the Federal Reserve Board has established leverage ratio
guidelines (Tier I capital to average quarterly assets, less goodwill) for bank
holding companies.  These guidelines provide for a minimum leverage ratio of 3%
for bank holding companies that meet certain specified criteria, including that
they have the highest regulatory rating.  All other holding companies will be
required to maintain a leverage ratio of 3% plus an additional cushion of at
least 100 to 200 basis points.

     The following table reflects the Company's capital ratios as of March 31,
1996.
