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, 1996, for

opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial

months ended June 30, 1997, are not necessarily indicative of the results which

number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. On October 30,
1996, the Corporation's Board of Directors authorized a 2% stock dividend, which
was distributed on December 10, 1996. Per share amounts have been retroactively
restated to give effect to this stock dividend.

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



                              THREE MONTH SUMMARY

     The second quarter of 1997 resulted in slightly decreased earnings for
Lakeland Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company"), when compared to the same period in
1996.  Net income decreased $3,894, or .30%, to $1,294,337 for the second three
months of 1997 from $1,298,231 for the same period in 1996.  Net income per
share decreased $.01 or 2.56%.  Increases of $179,602 in net interest income and
$61,078 in other income along with decreases in the provision for loan losses of
$51,256 and income tax expense of $19,218 were offset by an increase in other
expenses of $315,048.

     The Company's annualized return on average assets and average stockholders'
equity for the second three months of 1997 were 1.27% and 13.22%, respectively,
compared to 1.44% and 15.64%, respectively, for the same period in 1996.



                             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Total interest income increased $369,629, or 5.83% to $6,714,656 for the
three months ended June 30, 1997, when compared to $6,345,027 for the same
period in 1996.  The overall increase in this category was a result of increases
of $330,143 or 7.59% in interest earned on the loan portfolio and $51,345 or
32.63% in interest earned on federal funds sold, which were partially offset by
a decrease in interest earned on the investment portfolio of $11,859 or .64%.

     The increase in interest income on loans was primarily attributable to an
increase in average balances of $27.3 million, which was partially offset by a
51 basis point decrease in yield. The increase in interest income on federal
funds sold was attributable to a $3.3 million increase in average balances,
along with a 21 basis point increase in yield.  The slight decrease in interest
income on the investment portfolio was attributable to an 8 basis point decrease
in yield, offset in part by an increase in average balances of $908,000.

     Interest expense on deposits increased $187,171 or 7.78% to $2,592,298 for
the second quarter of 1997 compared to $2,405,127 for the same period in 1996.
This increase is attributable to an increase of $25.4 million in average
balances.

     Net interest income increased $179,602 or 4.56% to $4,119,502 for the
second three months of 1997 from $3,939,900 for the same period in 1996,
primarily as the result of increased balances of average net earning assets,
which was partially offset by a 20 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
3.96% to 3.76%.  While the average yield on earning assets decreased 25 basis
points from 7.61% to 7.36%, the average rate paid on interest-bearing
liabilities decreased 5 basis points from 3.65% to 3.60%.

     The provision for loan losses decreased $51,256 to $32,652 for the three
months ended June 30, 1997, as compared to $83,908 for the same prior year
period. During the second quarter of 1997, the Company charged off loans of
$136,828 and recovered $4,176 in previously charged off loans compared to
$80,806 and $1,898, respectively, during the same period in 1996. The allowance
for loan losses at June 30, 1997, was 1.29% of total loans, compared to 1.33% at
December 31, 1996, and 1.43% at June 30, 1996. The Company believes, based on
management's ongoing review of loan quality, economic conditions, loss
experience, and loan growth, that the allowance for loan losses is adequate.
This statement represents a forward-looking statement. Actual results could
differ materially from this statement based upon a number of conditions,
including the financial viability of the Company's loan customers, the value of
the Company's collateral, and general economic conditions.

     The following table sets forth for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and
1996, and for each of the years in the five years ended December 31, 1996, the
historical relationships among the allowance for loan losses, the provision for
loan losses, the amount of loans charged-off and the amount of loan recoveries:

     The Company has established criteria to identify loans which may be
impaired.  Large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans  are collectively
evaluated for impairment, while other larger-balance loans are independently
evaluated.  Management has determined that the following are deemed 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 for impairment 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.  Loan impairment is
measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at
the loan's effective interest rate or, if the loan is collateral dependent, the
fair value of the related collateral.  Loan allowances required, based upon
impaired loan evaluations, are included in the allowance for loan loss.

     The Company's policy concerning non-accrual loans states that loans,
without consideration as to loan balance, 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.  Due to the difference in measurement
criteria, the populations of non-accrual and impaired loans, while having many
common elements, will be different in the aggregate.

     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 June 30, 1997, based on the above criteria, the Company classified
four commercial loans, totalling $770,759, and six mortgage loans, totalling
$1,430,626, as impaired.  The impairment of these loans is measured using the
present value of future cash flows for the six classified loans, which have been
renegotiated, and is based on the fair value of the underlying collateral for
the remaining four loans.  Based upon such evaluation of these impaired loans,
$563,861 has been allocated to the allowance for loan losses.

</TABLE>

     Included in the above schedule at June 30, 1997, are one non-accrual
commercial loan and three non-accrual mortgage loans, totalling $1,095,623, and
six renegotiated loans, totalling $1,105,762, which represents all loans
categorized as impaired.

     At June 30, 1997, non-accrual loans totaled $1,750,000, an increase of
$611,000 compared to March 31, 1997. This net change is primarily the result of
the addition of one commercial loan in this category, totalling $544,000. Of the
total non-accrual loans at June 30, 1997, all are either in foreclosure, in
various stages of litigation, or on a repayment schedule. At June 30, 1997,
loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing totalled $747,000, a decrease
of $1,092,000 compared to March 31, 1997. This net change is primarily the
result of the payoff of one commercial loan, totalling $1,468,000, which was
partially offset by the addition of four commercial loans, totalling $485,000 to
this category. At June 30, 1997, renegotiated loans totalled $1,390,000, an
increase of $60,000 compared to March 31, 1997. This net change is primarily the
result of the addition of two commercial loans to this category.

     Other income increased $61,078 or 11.34% to $599,840 for the second three
months of 1997 from $538,762 for the same period in 1996.  $53,259 of this
increase represents fee income generated from an ATM surcharge in 1997, which
was not initiated until later in 1996.

     Other expenses increased by $315,048 or 13.02% to $2,734,732 for the second
three months of 1997 from $2,419,684 for the same period in 1996.  Salaries and
benefits increased by $139,002 or 9.84%, due to increased staff levels,
partially due to an additional branch office being opened, and normal salary
increases.  Occupancy expense increased $42,706 or 15.39%. Furniture and
fixtures expense increased $20,793 or 10.64%.  The increase in the previous two
categories is primarily the result of branch expansion and renovations, as well
as the increased cost of maintaining the fourteen locations.  Other expenses
increased $112,547 or 21.06%.  Advertising expense increased $7,268 or 15.67%
due to an increase in the annual marketing budget.  Postage expense increased
$17,319 or 23.33% due to a change in postal rates and increased volume.  Also,
the Company received a $30,000 insurance recovery in 1996, which was credited to
this account.  The remaining components of other expenses increased 13.06% in
the aggregate, reflecting the increased size of the Company.

     Income tax expense decreased $19,218 or 2.84% to $657,621 for the second
three months of 1997 from $676,839 for the same period in 1996.  The decrease in
income tax expense was due to lower pre-tax earnings.

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



                               SIX MONTH SUMMARY

     The first six months of 1997 resulted in slightly increased earnings for
the Company, when compared to the same period in 1996.  Net income increased
$23,180, or .92%, to $2,537,585 for the first six months of 1997 from $2,514,405
for the same period in 1996.  Net income per share remained the same at $.75.
Increases of $433,436 in net interest income and $171,161 in other income were
substantially offset by an increase of $584,119 in other expenses.

     The Company's annualized return on average assets and average stockholders'
equity for the first six months of 1997 were 1.31% and 13.41%, respectively,
compared to 1.42% and 15.29%, respectively, for the same period in 1996.



                             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Total interest income increased $852,841, or 6.80% to $13,399,783 for the
six months ended June 30, 1997, when compared to $12,546,942 for the same period
in 1996.  The overall increase in this category was a result of increases of
$957,647 or 11.23% in interest earned on the loan portfolio and $63,270 or
19.50% in interest earned on federal funds sold, which offset a decrease of
$168,076 or 4.55% in interest earned on the securities portfolio.

     The increase in interest income on loans was attributable to an increase in
average balances of $31.0 million, which more than offset a 36 basis point
decrease in yield.  The increase in interest income on federal funds sold was
attributable to an increase in average balances of $2.1 million along with a 13
basis point increase in yield.  The decrease in interest income on securities
was attributable to a $3.3 million decrease in average balances along with a
decline of 12 basis points in yield.

     Interest expense on deposits increased $409,505 or 8.47% to $5,243,830 for
the first six months of 1997 compared to $4,834,325 for the same period in 1996.
This increase is attributable to an increase of $25.8 million in average
balances. Total interest expense increased $419,405 or 8.68%, reflecting the
aforementioned deposit factors along with $9,900 in interest expense incurred in
the first six months of 1997 on borrowed money.

     Net interest income increased $433,436 or 5.62% to $8,146,053 for the first
six months of 1997 from $7,712,617 for the same period in 1996, primarily as the
result of increased balances of average net earning assets, which more than
offset a 12 basis point decrease in net interest margin.  The annualized net
interest margin decreased from 3.84% to 3.72%.  While the average yield on
earning assets decreased 16 basis points from 7.59% to 7.43%, the average rate
paid on interest-bearing liabilities decreased 4 basis points from 3.75% to
3.71%.

                                      -15-

     Other income increased $171,161 or 16.43% to $1,212,919 for the first six
months of 1997 from $1,041,758 for the same period in 1996.  This was primarily
the result of an increase of $136,001 or 15.79% in service charges on deposits.
$106,916 of this increase represents fee income generated from an ATM surcharge
in 1997, which was not initiated until later in 1996.

     Other expenses increased by $584,119 or 12.14% to $5,396,036 for the first
six months of 1997 from $4,811,917 for the same period in 1996.  Salaries and
benefits increased by $334,608 or 12.22%, due to increased staffing levels and
normal salary increases.  Occupancy expense increased $46,015 or 7.80%.  This
was primarily the result of the increased cost of maintaining the fourteen
locations from which the Company operates.  The decrease of $10,364 or 2.42% in
furniture and fixtures expense is primarily the result of furniture and fixtures
in the administration building becoming fully depreciated in March 1996. Other
expenses increased $213,860 or 20.26%.  Significant sources of changes in this
category are advertising expense, which increased $28,493 or 35.85%; and,
postage expense, which increased $40,432 or 28.64%.  FDIC Insurance expense
increased $19,405 from the statutory $1,000 minimum in 1996.  Additionally,
$52,548 was credited to Miscellaneous Losses in 1996, which represents
recoveries received in 1996 from an insurance company on thefts that occurred in
1995.  The remaining component of other expenses increased 8.23% in the
aggregate, reflecting the increased size of the Company.

     Income tax expense increased $3,082 or .24% to $1,312,140 for the first six
months of 1997 from $1,309,058 for the same period in 1996.  The increase in
income tax expense was due to higher pre-tax earnings.

                              FINANCIAL CONDITION

     The Company's total assets increased $25.2 million or 6.67% from $377.5
million at December 31, 1996, to $402.7 million at June 30, 1997.  Increases of
$10.9 million in cash and cash equivalents and $11.6 million in the securities
portfolio resulted primarily from a $22.9 million increase in deposits.

     At June 30, 1997, the Company's securities portfolio of $128.6 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 $2,420,528 and $67,899, 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 June 30, 1997, is to increase stockholders' equity by $1,407,167.  Securities
held to maturity continue to be carried at historical cost and, at June 30,
1997, contain unrealized gains and losses of $240,464 and $95,293, respectively.
For the entire securities portfolio, net unrealized gains stand at $2,497,800 at
June 30, 1997, as compared with a $2,339,067 net unrealized gain at December 31,
1996. See notes 3 and 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

     Total deposits increased $22.9 million or 6.73% from December 31, 1996, to
June 30, 1997. Non-interest-bearing demand, savings and interest-bearing demand
and time accounts increased $5.7 million, $10.5 million, and $6.7 million,
respectively, in the first six months of 1997. Time deposits at June 30, 1997,
represented 31.90% of total deposits as compared to 32.07% at December 31, 1996.

     Stockholders' equity increased $2.1 million or 5.70% as net income of $2.5
million, $378,000 in proceeds of common stock sold via dividend reinvestments
and a $164,000 increase in the equity component related to available for sale
securities were partially offset by dividends paid to stockholders of $980,000.

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 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 are
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 June 30,
1997.
