ITEM 1 - BUSINESS
GENERAL
-------
Lakeland Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company"), a New Jersey corporation, is a bank
holding company, registered with and supervised by the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve Board"). The Company was organized
in March of 1989 and commenced operations on May 19, 1989, upon consummation of
the acquisition of all of the outstanding stock of Lakeland State Bank ("LSB" or
the "Bank"). The Company's primary business consists of managing and
supervising LSB. The principal source of income is dividends paid by LSB. At
December 31, 1995, the Company had total assets, deposits, and stockholder's
equity of approximately $360.7 million, $327.9 million, and $32.0 million,
respectively.
LSB was organized as Lakeland State Bank on May 19, 1969. LSB is a state
banking association, the deposits of which are insured by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"). LSB is not a member of the Federal Reserve
System. LSB is a full-service commercial bank offering a complete range of
consumer, commercial, and trust services. Its 12 branch offices are located in
the following three New Jersey counties: Morris, Passaic, and Sussex.
COMMERCIAL BANK SERVICES
The Bank offers a broad range of lending, depository, and related financial
services to individuals and small to medium sized businesses in its northern New
Jersey market area. In the lending area, these services include short and
medium term loans, lines of credit, letters of credit, inventory and accounts
receivable financing, real estate construction loans and mortgage loans.
Depository products include: demand deposits, savings accounts, and time
accounts. In addition, LSB offers collection, wire transfer, and night
depository services.
CONSUMER BANKING
The Bank also offers a broad range of consumer banking services, including
checking accounts, savings accounts, NOW accounts, money market accounts,
certificates of deposit, secured and unsecured loans, consumer installment
loans, mortgage loans, safe deposit services, and traveler's cheques. LSB also
provides discount brokerage services to its customers through a third party.
TRUST SERVICES
A variety of fiduciary services are available through a third party. These
include investment management, advisory services, and custodial functions for
individuals. The trust function also administers, in a fiduciary capacity,
pensions, personal trusts, and estates.

SUPERVISION AND REGULATION
----------------------------
Lakeland Bancorp, Inc.
- ----------------------
The Company is a registered bank holding company under the Federal Bank Holding
Company Act of 1956, as amended (the "Holding Company Act"), and is required to
file with the Federal Reserve Board an annual report and such additional
information as the Federal Reserve Board may require pursuant to the Holding
Company Act. The Company is subject to examination by the Federal Reserve
Board.
The Holding Company Act limits the activities which may be engaged in by the
Company and its subsidiaries to those of banking, the ownership and acquisition
of assets and securities of banking organizations, and the management of banking
organizations, and to certain non-banking activities which the Federal Reserve
Board finds, by order or regulation, to be so closely related to banking or
managing or controlling banks as to be a proper incident thereto. The Federal
Reserve Board is empowered to differentiate between activities by a bank holding
company or a subsidiary thereof and activities commenced by acquisition of a
going concern.
With respect to the acquisition of banking organizations, the Company is
required to obtain the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board before it
may, by merger, purchase or otherwise, directly or indirectly acquire all or
substantially all of the assets of any bank or bank holding company, if, after
such acquisition, it will own or control more than 5% of the voting shares of
such bank or bank holding company. The Holding Company Act does not permit the
Federal Reserve Board to approve the acquisition by the Company, or any
subsidiary, of any voting shares of, or interest in, or all or substantially all
of the assets of, any bank located outside the State of New Jersey, unless such
acquisition is specifically authorized by the laws of the state in which such
bank is located. Reciprocal legislation allowing interstate acquisitions has
been enacted by many States, including New Jersey.
With respect to non-banking activities, the Federal Reserve Board has by
regulation determined that several non-banking activities are closely related to
banking within the meaning of the Holding Company Act and thus may be performed
by bank holding companies. Although the Company's management periodically
reviews other avenues of business opportunities that are included in that
regulation, the Company has no present plans to engage in any of these
activities other than providing discount brokerage services through a third
party.
Subsidiary banks of a bank holding company are subject to certain restrictions
imposed by the Federal Reserve Act on any extension of credit to the bank
holding company or any of its subsidiaries, on investments in the stock or other
securities of such holding company or its subsidiaries, and on the acceptance of
such stocks or securities as collateral for loans. Moreover, subsidiaries of
bank holding companies are prohibited from engaging in certain tie-in
arrangements (with the holding company or any of its subsidiaries) in connection
with any extension of credit or lease or sale of property or furnishing of
services.

Lakeland State Bank
LSB is a state chartered banking association subject to supervision and
examination by the State of New Jersey and the FDIC. The regulations of the
State of New Jersey and FDIC govern most aspects of LSB's business, including
reserves against deposits, loans, investments, mergers and acquisitions,
borrowings, dividends, and location of branch offices. LSB is subject to
certain restrictions imposed by law on, among other things, (i) the maximum
amount of obligations of any one person or entity which may be outstanding at
any one time, (ii) investments in stock or other securities of the Company or
any subsidiary of the Company, and (iii) the taking of such stock or securities
as collateral for loans to any borrower.
Securities and Exchange Commission
The common stock of the Company is registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC") under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "1934 Act").
As a result of such registration, the Company and its officers, directors, and
major stockholders are obligated to file certain reports with the SEC.
Furthermore, the Company is subject to proxy and tender offer rules promulgated
pursuant to the 1934 Act.
Effect of Government Monetary Policies
The earnings of the Company are and will be affected by domestic economic
conditions and the monetary and fiscal policies of the United States Government
and its agencies.
The monetary policies of the Federal Reserve Board have had, and will likely
continue to have, an important impact on the operating results of commercial
banks through the Board's power to implement national monetary policy in order,
among other things, to curb inflation or combat a recession. The Federal
Reserve Board has a major effect upon the levels of bank loans, investments and
deposits through its open market operations in United States government
securities and through its regulation of, among other things, the discount rate
of borrowings of banks and the reserve requirements against bank deposits. It
is not possible to predict the nature and impact of future changes in monetary
fiscal policies.

FIRREA
The Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989
("FIRREA") restructured the regulation, supervision, and deposit insurance of
savings and loan associations and federal savings banks whose deposits were
formerly insured by the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation
("FSLIC"). FSLIC was replaced by the Savings Association Insurance Fund
("SAIF") administered by the FDIC. A separate fund, the Bank Insurance Fund
("BIF"), which was essentially a continuation of the FDIC's then existing fund,
was established for banks. For further information regarding assessments, see
"FDICIA".
FIRREA and the Crime Control Act of 1990 expanded the enforcement powers
available to federal banking regulators including providing greater flexibility
to impose enforcement actions, expanding the persons dealing with a bank who are
subject to enforcement actions, and increasing the potential civil and criminal
penalties.
Under FIRREA, failure to meet capital guidelines could subject a banking
institution to a variety of enforcement remedies available to federal regulatory
authorities, including the termination of deposit insurance by the FDIC.
Capital Adequacy Guidelines
The Federal Reserve Board has adopted Risk-Based Capital Guidelines. Their
guidelines establish minimum levels of capital and require capital adequacy to
be measured in part upon the degree of risk associated with certain assets.
Under these guidelines all banks and bank holding companies must have a core or
tier 1 capital-to-assets ratio of at least 4% and a total capital-to-assets
ratio of at least 8%. At December 31, 1995, the Company's Tier 1 capital to
risk-weighted assets ratio and total capital to risk-weighted assets ratio were
16.78% and 18.03%, respectively.
In addition, the Federal Reserve Board and the FDIC have approved leverage ratio
guidelines (Tier I capital to average quarterly assets, less goodwill) for bank
holding companies such as the Company and banks such as LSB. 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. LSB
is subject to similar minimum leverage criteria. The Company's leverage ratio
was 8.85% at December 31, 1995.
Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991
("FDICIA"), federal banking agencies have established certain additional minimum
levels of capital which accord with guidelines established under that Act. See
"FDICIA".
- 7 -
Dividend Restrictions
- ---------------------
The Company is a legal entity separate and distinct from the Bank. Virtually all
of the revenue of the Company available for payment of dividends on its capital
stock will result from amounts paid to the Company by the Bank. All such
dividends are subject to various limitations imposed by federal and state laws
and by regulations and policies adopted by federal and state regulatory
agencies. The Bank is required to obtain the approval of the FDIC for the
payment of dividends if the total of all dividends declared by the Board of
Directors of the Bank in any year will exceed the total of the Bank's net
profits (as defined and interpreted by regulation) for that year and the
retained net profits (as defined) for the preceding two years, less any required
transfer to surplus. Furthermore, under State law, the Bank may not pay
dividends unless, following the dividend payment, the capital stock of the bank
would be unimpaired and either (a) the Bank will have a surplus of not less than
50% of its capital stock, or, if not, (b) the payment of the dividend will not
reduce the surplus of the Bank.
If, in the opinion of the FDIC, a bank under its jurisdiction is engaged in or
is about to engage in an unsafe or unsound practice (which, depending on the
financial condition of the bank, could include the payment of dividends), the
FDIC may require, after notice and hearing, that such bank cease and desist from
such practice or, as a result of an unrelated practice, require the bank to
limit dividends in the future. The Federal Reserve Board has similar authority
with respect to bank holding companies. In addition, the Federal Reserve Board
and the FDIC have issued policy statements which provide that insured banks and
bank holding companies should generally only pay dividends out of current
operating earnings. Regulatory pressures to reclassify and charge-off loans and
to establish additional loan loss reserves can have the effect of reducing
current operating earnings and thus impacting an institution's ability to pay
dividends. Further, as described above, the regulatory authorities have
established guidelines with respect to the maintenance of appropriate levels of
capital by a bank or bank holding company under their jurisdiction. Compliance
with the standards set forth in such policy statements and guidelines could
limit the amount of dividends which the Company and the Bank may pay. Under
FDICIA, banking institutions which are deemed to be "undercapitalized" will, in
most instances, be prohibited from paying dividends. See "FDICIA". See the
"Dividend Limitation" Note of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for
further information regarding dividends.
FDICIA
Enacted in December 1991, FDICIA substantially revised the bank regulatory
provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and several other federal
banking statutes. Among other things, FDICIA requires federal banking agencies
to broaden the scope of regulatory corrective action taken with respect to banks
that do not meet minimum capital requirements and to take such actions promptly
in order to minimize losses to the FDIC. Under FDICIA,
- 8 -
federal banking agencies were required to establish minimum levels
of capital (including both a leverage limit and a risk-based capital
requirement) and specify for each capital measure the levels at which depository
institutions will be considered "well capitalized", "adequately capitalized",
"undercapitalized", "significantly undercapitalized" or "critically
undercapitalized". A depository institution will be deemed to be "well
capitalized" if it significantly exceeds the minimum level required by
regulation for each relevant capital measure, "adequately capitalized" if it
meets each such measure, "undercapitalized" if it fails to meet any such
measure, "significantly undercapitalized" if it is significantly below any such
measure and "critically undercapitalized" if it fails to meet any critical
capital level set forth in the regulations. An institution may be deemed to be
in a capitalization category that is lower than is indicated by its actual
capital position if it receives and unsatisfactory examination rating or is
deemed to be in an unsafe or unsound condition or to be engaging in unsafe or
unsound practices.
Under regulations adopted under these provisions, for an institution to be well
capitalized it must have a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 10%, a
Tier I risk-based capital ratio of at least 6% and a Tier I leverage ratio of at
least 5% and not be subject to any specific capital order or directive. For an
institution to be adequately capitalized it must have a total risk-based capital
ratio of at least 8%, a Tier I risk-based capital ratio of at least 4% and a
Tier I leverage ratio of at least 4% (or in some cases 3%). Under the
regulations, an institution will be deemed to be undercapitalized if the bank
has a total risk-based capital ratio that is less than 8%, a Tier I risk-based
capital ratio that is less than 4%, or a Tier I leverage ratio of less than 4%
(or in some cases 3%). An institution will be deemed to be significantly
undercapitalized if the bank has a total risk-based capital ratio that is less
than 6%, a Tier I risk-based capital ratio that is less than 3%, or a leverage
ratio that is less than 3% and will be deemed to be critically undercapitalized
if it has a ratio of tangible equity to total assets that is equal to or less
than 2%.
FDICIA generally prohibits an insured depository institution from paying
management fees to any person that controls the institution if it thereafter
would be undercapitalized. If an institution becomes undercapitalized, it will
be generally restricted from borrowing from the Federal Reserve, increasing its
average total assets, making any acquisitions, establishing any branches or
engaging in any new line of business. An undercapitalized institution must
submit an acceptable capital restoration plan to the appropriate federal banking
agency, which plan must, in the opinion of such agency, be based on realistic
assumptions and be "likely to succeed" in restoring the institution's capital.
In connection with the approval of such a plan, the holding company of the
institution must guarantee that the institution will comply with the plan,
subject to a limitation of liability equal to a portion of the institution's
assets. If an undercapitalized institution fails to submit an acceptable plan
or fails to implement such a plan, it will be treated as if it is significantly
undercapitalized.
- 9 -
Under FDICIA, bank regulators are directed to require "significantly
undercapitalized" institutions, among other things, to restrict business
activities, raise capital through a sale of stock, merge with another
institution and/or take any other action which the agency determines would
better carry out the purposes of FDICIA.
Within 90 days after an institution is determined to be "critically
undercapitalized", the appropriate federal banking agency must, in most cases,
appoint a receiver or conservator for the institution or take such other action
as the agency determines would better achieve the purposes of FDICIA. In
general, "critically undercapitalized" institutions will be prohibited from
paying principal or interest on their subordinated debt and will be subject to
other substantial restrictions.
Under FDICIA, an institution that is not well capitalized is generally
prohibited from accepting brokered deposits. Undercapitalized institutions are
prohibited from offering interest rates on deposits significantly higher than
prevailing rates.
The provisions of FDICIA governing capital regulations became effective on
December 19, 1992. FDICIA directs that each federal banking agency prescribe
standards for depository institutions and depository institution holding
companies relating to internal controls, information systems, internal audit
systems, loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest rate exposure, asset
growth, a maximum ratio of classified assets to capital, a minimum ratio of
market value to book value for publicly traded shares (if feasible) and such
other standards as the agency deems appropriate.
- 10 -
Proposed Legislation
From time to time proposals are made in the United States Congress, the New
Jersey Legislature, and before various bank regulatory authorities which would
alter the powers of, and place restrictions on, different types of banking
organizations. It is impossible to predict the impact, if any, of potential
legislative trends on the business of the Company and its subsidiaries.
In accordance with federal law providing for deregulation of interest on all
deposits, banks and thrift organizations are now unrestricted by law or
regulation from paying interest at any rate on most time deposits. It is not
clear whether deregulation and other pending changes in certain aspects of the
banking industry will result in further increases in the cost of funds in
relation to prevailing lending rates.
Competition
LSB operates in a highly competitive market environment within northern New
Jersey. Three major multi-bank holding companies in addition to large
independent regional banks and several large multi-state thrift holding
companies operate within LSB's market area. These larger institutions have
substantially larger lending capacities and typically offer services which LSB
does not offer.
In recent years, the financial services industry has expanded rapidly as
barriers to competition within the industry have become less significant. Within
the banking field, banks must compete not only with other banks and traditional
financial institutions, but also with other business corporations that have
begun to deliver financial services.
Concentration
The Company and LSB are not dependent for deposits or exposed by loan
concentrations to a single customer or a small group of customers the loss of
any one or more of which would have a material adverse effect upon the financial
condition of the Company or LSB.
Employees
At December 31, 1995, there were 174 persons employed by the Company and LSB.
- 11 -
ITEM 2 - PROPERTIES
The Company's principal offices are located at 250 Oak Ridge Road, Oak Ridge,

2000. LSB's Wharton Office is under a lease, expiring August 22, 2005.
All other offices of LSB and the Company's principal office are owned by LSB and
are unencumbered.
ITEM 3 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
There are no significant pending legal proceedings involving the Company or LSB
other than those arising out of routine operations. Management does not
anticipate that the ultimate liability, if any, arising out of such litigation
will have a material effect on the financial condition or results of operations
of the Company and LSB on a consolidated basis.

Dividends on the Company's Common Stock are within the discretion of the Board
of Directors of the Company and are dependent upon various factors, including
the future earnings and financial condition of the Company and the Bank and bank
regulatory policies. Federal and State laws and regulations contain restrictions
on the ability of the Company and the Bank to pay dividends.
State of New Jersey Banking laws specify that no dividend shall be paid by the
Bank on its capital stock unless, following the payment of each such dividend,
the capital stock of the Bank will be unimpaired and the Bank will have a
surplus of not less than 50% of its capital stock, or, if not, the payment of
such dividend will not reduce the surplus of the Bank. Capital guideline and
other regulatory requirements may further limit the Bank's and the Company's
ability to pay dividends.

ITEM 7 -- MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF Lakeland Bancorp, Inc.
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS and Subsidiaries
===============================================================================
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Lakeland Bancorp, Inc., (the "Company") reported net income of $4.8 million for
both the years ended December 31, 1995, and December 31, 1994. Net income per
share decreased $.02 or 1.32% to $1.49 per share for the year ended December 31,
1995 as compared to $1.51 per share for the year ended December 31, 1994. An
increased level of net interest-earning assets was largely offset by a decrease
in the Company's net interest spread. Net income in 1994 increased $1.2 million
compared to 1993; this increase was primarily attributable to an increased
volume of net earning assets together with an improvement in the Company's net
interest spread. As of December 31, 1995, the Company had total assets of $360.7
million, an increase of $27.1 million or 8.12% compared to $333.6 million at
December 31, 1994.
The Company's return on average assets and average stockholders' equity was
1.42% and 16.62%, respectively, for 1995, compared to 1.46% and 19.29%,
respectively, in 1994 and 1.22% and 19.45%, respectively, in 1993.
The Company's gross loan portfolio increased $15.6 million or 8.88% from $175.2
million at December 31, 1994 to $190.8 million at December 31, 1995. This
increase was reflected in commercial loan increases of $8.5 million, mortgage
loan increases of $5.0 million, and consumer installment loan increases of $2.1
million.
The investment portfolio, including both held to maturity and available for sale
securities, decreased $3.3 million or 2.58% from $129.3 million at December 31,
1994, to $126.0 million at December 31, 1995. A $9.4 million decrease in U.S.
Treasury securities was partially offset by a $6.7 million increase in U.S.
Government Agency securities. The decrease in the investment portfolio was used
to fund increases in the loan portfolio. The investment portfolio contains net
unrealized gains of $2.6 million at December 31, 1995, an improvement of $4.9
million over the net unrealized loss of $2.3 million in the portfolio at
December 31, 1994. Such improvement is attributable to lower market interest
rates and the resultant effect on security values.
Cash and cash equivalents increased $16.3 million, or 92.87%, to $33.8 million
at December 31, 1995 from $17.5 million at December 31, 1994, principally due to
an increase in deposits of $20.1 million, $14.2 million of which occurred in the
fourth quarter of 1995. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase
in non-interest bearing demand deposits and interest-bearing demand deposits of
$7.0 million and $5.7 million, respectively, during the fourth quarter.
Other assets decreased $1.34 million, or 50.71%, to $1.31 million at December
31, 1995, from $2.65 million at December 31, 1994, due primarily to decreases of
$1.16 million in deferred income tax assets, which was largely the result of
unrealized gains in the securities available for sale portfolio, and in other
real estate owned of $373,000.
INTEREST INCOME
Interest income (on a tax equivalent basis) increased $1.6 million or 7.00% to
$24.2 million in 1995. In 1994, interest income increased $1.7 million or 8.15%
to $22.6 million from $20.9 million in 1993.
The increase in 1995 was attributable to increases in both the volume of average
interest earning assets of $8.4 million or 2.73% and an increase of 31 basis
points in the average interest rates earned on those assets. Interest income on
loans increased $2.2 million, or 15.74%, to $15.9 million in 1995 from $13.7
million in 1994, due to increases in both average loan balances and average
yields. During 1995, average loans increased $19.3 million, comprised of
increases in the average volume of commercial loans of $9.6 million, mortgage
loans (including construction loans) of $7.2 million, and consumer installment
loans (including home equity and improvement loans) of $2.5 million. Along with
these increased average balances was an increase of 28 basis points in the
average yield on such loans.
Interest income on taxable investment securities decreased $584,000 or 8.20% to
$6.5 million in 1995 from $7.1 million in 1994 primarily due to a $9.9 million,
or 8.50%, decrease in the average balance of such securities. The average yield
on taxable investment securities remained little changed in 1995 at 6.14% as
compared to 6.12% in 1994.
Interest income on tax-exempt securities (on a tax equivalent basis) decreased
$229,000 or 16.32% to $1.2 million in 1995 from $1.4 million in 1994, due to
decreases in both average balance and yield.
Interest income on federal funds sold increased $230,000 or 70.55% to $556,000
in 1995 from $326,000 in 1994, due primarily to a 202 basis point increase in
yield, which resulted from higher short term market interest rates.
The increase in interest income in 1994 was attributable to an increase in the
volume of average interest earning assets of $28.4 million or 10.22% which more
than offset a decrease of 14 basis points in the average interest rates earned
on those assets. Interest income on loans increased $1.9 million or 16.14% to
$13.7 million in 1994 from $11.8 million in 1993 as a $29.7 million or 22.50%
increase in average loans more than offset a 46 basis point decline in loan
yield. During 1994 average loans increased $29.7 million, comprised of increases
in the average volume of consumer installment loans (including home equity and
improvement loans) of $13.7 million, commercial loans of $8.1 million, and
mortgage loans (including construction loans) of $7.9 million. Interest income
on securities, both taxable and non-taxable, declined $66,000 or 0.8% to $7.5
million in 1994 from $7.6 million in 1993, due to a decline in yield of 35 basis
points which was only partially offset by a $6.3 million or 4.8% increase in the
average balance of investment securities, which included both held to maturity
and available for sale securities. The increased volume was primarily reflected
in an increase in the average balance of taxable securities of $7.2 million.
INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest paid on deposits during 1995 increased $1.5 million or 19.68% to $9.1
million from $7.6 million in 1994. While the average volume of interest-bearing
deposits decreased $4.3 million during 1995, the average rate paid on those
deposits increased 65 basis points, due primarily to an increasing interest rate
environment which prevailed during the first half of 1995 and a migration of
deposits from savings accounts to higher cost time deposits. During 1995, the
average volume of time deposits increased $33.3 million, while the average rate
paid on time deposits increased by 138 basis points. The increase in the average
volume of interest-bearing time deposits was more than offset by a $29.9 million
decrease in the average volume of savings deposits and a $7.7 million decrease
in the average volume of interest-bearing demand deposits. Interest expense on
interest-bearing demand deposits and savings deposits declined primarily due to
the aforementioned volume declines as rates

================================================================================
paid were little changed. The average rate paid on savings deposits increased 3
basis points, while the average rate paid on interest-bearing demand deposits
decreased 5 basis points.
Interest paid on deposits during 1994 decreased $153,000 or 1.97% to $7.6
million from $7.7 million in 1993. While the average volume of interest-bearing
deposits increased $16.8 million during 1994, the average rate paid on those
deposits decreased 28 basis points, due primarily to a declining interest rate
environment which prevailed during the first half of 1994. Interest expense on
interest-bearing demand deposits and savings deposits remained little changed in
1994 compared to 1993. The increase of $11.2 million in average savings
deposits, the largest component of interest-bearing deposits, was offset by a
decrease of 26 basis points in the average interest rate paid on those deposits.
Average interest-bearing demand deposits increased by $5.4 million. However, the
25 basis point reduction in the average rate paid on these deposits more than
offset the impact of the increased volume. Interest expense on time deposits
decreased $122,000 or 5.27% to $2.2 million in 1994 from $2.3 million in 1993
due largely to a 24 basis point decline in average rate paid as the average
balance remained little changed.
Total interest expense decreased $215,000 or 2.75%, reflecting the decreased
average interest rates paid together with the reduction of interest on "other
borrowings" as the Company paid its mortgage loan in full during the first
quarter of 1993.
NET INTEREST INCOME
Net interest income, typically the largest component of the Company's income, is
the difference between interest and fees earned on loans and other interest
earning assets, and interest paid on deposits and other funding sources.
The following table reflects the components of the Company's net interest
income, setting forth for the years presented herein, (1) average assets,
liabilities and stockholders' equity, (2) interest income earned on interest-
earning assets and interest expense paid on interest-bearing liabilities, (3)
average yields earned on interest-earning assets and average rates paid on
interest-bearing liabilities, (4) the Company's net interest spread (i.e., the
average yield on interest-earning assets less the average rate on interest-
bearing liabilities) and (5) the Company's net yield on interest-earning assets.
Rates are computed on a taxable equivalent basis.

VOLUME/RATE ANALYSIS
The following table analyzes net interest income in terms of changes in the
volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and changes
in yields and rates on a taxable equivalent basis. The table reflects the extent
to which changes in the Company's interest income and interest expense are
attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior year
rate) and changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior year volume).
Changes attributable to the combined impact of volume and rate have been
allocated proportionately to changes due to volume and changes due to rate.

======== ========= ======== ======== ========= ==========
For the year ended 1995, net interest income on a tax equivalent basis increased
$75,000 to $15.1 million from $15.0 million in 1994. A $12.6 million increase in
the excess of average interest-earning assets over average interest-bearing
liabilities was offset by a 34 basis point decrease in the net interest spread
and a decrease of 11 basis points in the net yield on interest-earning assets.
For the year ended 1994, net interest income on a tax equivalent basis increased
$1.9 million or 14.67% to $15.0 million from $13.1 million in 1993. This
increase was primarily attributable to a $12.2 million increase in the excess of
average interest-earning assets over average interest-bearing liabilities,
together with an increase of 15 basis points in the net interest spread.
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
The allowance for loan losses is established to absorb the impact of losses
inherent in the loan portfolio. Additions to the allowance are made by means of
charges against current earnings and recoveries on loans previously charged to
the allowance. The level of the allowance is determined by the loan review
committee and Board of Directors after considering such elements as economic
conditions, risk exposure, adequacy of collateral, and such other factors as are
deemed to be relevant. The loan review committee assigns a specific reserve
allocation to each commercial loan in excess of $100,000 together with a general
percentage based on experience to commercial loans less than $100,000 and to all
real estate mortgage and consumer installment loans.
During 1995 the Company provided $129,000 to the allowance and had net charge-
offs of $219,000 for a $90,000 decrease to the allowance, leaving a balance of
$2.9 million. At December 31, 1994, the allowance stood at $3.0 million,
remaining the same as at December 31, 1993, as the Company provided $225,000 to
the allowance and had net charge-offs of $225,000. Based on its ongoing loan
review process, its collateral positions, and its loss and recovery experience,
the Company believes that its allowance for loan losses at December 31, 1995,
was adequate.
At December 31, 1995, the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total
loans was 1.53%, as compared to 1.71% and 2.01% at December 31, 1994, and 1993,
respectively. The decrease in the allowance as a percentage of total loans is
the result of improvements in the local economy and local real estate market
which management believes have reduced the risk inherent in the loan portfolio.
At December 31, 1995, 1994, and 1993, such loans represented 0.84%, 1.17%, and
2.29%, respectively, of total loans. At December 31, 1995, the Company's
allowance balance of $2,910,000 significantly exceeded the balance of non-
accrual and 90 day delinquent and accruing loans of $1,604,000.
OTHER INCOME
Other (i.e., non-interest) income increased $70,000 or 3.68% to $2.0 million in
1995 from $1.9 million in 1994 and represented 7.68% of total income for 1995.
This increase was primarily attributable to a $53,000 or 3.47% increase on
service charges on deposits. The increase in service charges on deposits
reflected the higher deposit base.
Other income increased $80,000 or 4.38% to $1.9 million in 1994 from $1.8
million in 1993 and represented 7.94% of total income for 1994, as compared to
8.23% of total 1993 income. This increase was primarily attributable to $58,000
in proceeds received during 1994 from the Company's share of a split-dollar life
insurance policy on a deceased officer, along with a $68,000 or 4.60% increase
on service charges on deposits, which more than offset a $58,000 gain on sale of
bank premises recorded during 1993. The increase in service charges on deposits
reflected the higher deposit base.

================================================================================
OTHER EXPENSES
Other (i.e., non-interest) expenses in 1995 increased $247,000 or 2.67% over
1994. Salaries and benefits, the largest component of other expenses, increased
$317,000 or 6.36%, due primarily to normal salary and benefit increases.
Occupancy and furniture and equipment expenses increased $27,000 or 1.44%,
primarily as the result of higher maintenance and depreciation costs on the
Company's twelve offices. Federal Deposit Insurance premium expense decreased
$312,000 or 47.02%, due to a reduction in the assessment rate from 23 basis
points of deposits to four basis points effective June 1, 1995.
Recently, the FDIC has voted to reduce the assessment schedule for the first
half of 1996 so that most institutions, including the Bank, will pay only the
statutory minimum semi-annual assessment of $1,000. 1996 results are expected to
be favorably impacted by this development.
Expenses other than the foregoing increased $215,000 or 12.52% to $1.9 million
in 1995 from $1.7 million in 1994. This was primarily attributable to increased
stationery and supplies, and postage costs, resulting from expanding operations,
and a $94,000 increase in miscellaneous losses due to two check frauds along
with thefts which occurred at two branch locations.
Other expenses in 1994 increased $668,000 or 7.78% over 1993. Salaries and
benefits increased $301,000 or 6.43%, due primarily to normal salary and benefit
increases. Occupancy and furniture and equipment expenses increased $166,000 or
9.59%, primarily as the result of higher maintenance and depreciation costs on
the Company's twelve offices. Federal Deposit Insurance increased $73,000 or
12.39%, reflecting increased deposit balances. Other elements increased an
aggregate 8.06% due to expanded operations and normal inflationary increases.
INCOME TAXES
The components of income taxes are summarized as follows:
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31,
------------------------------------
1995 1994 1993
---------- ---------- ----------
Current............................ $2,469,763 $2,372,072 $1,685,317

---------- ---------- ----------
$2,286,673 $2,175,283 $1,509,248
========== ========== ==========
The Company's effective income tax rate was 32.3%, 31.0%, and 29.3%, in the
years ended December 31, 1995, 1994, and 1993, respectively. The increasing
effective rate in 1995 and 1994 is the result of the reduced contribution of
income from tax-exempt investments.

======== ======== ======== ======== ========
The Company has not made loans to borrowers outside the United States.
Commercial loans at December 31, 1995 represented 34.1% of total loans as
compared to 32.4% at December 31, 1994. These loans are primarily to borrowers
within the Company's market area.
Real Estate loans increased $5.0 million from December 31, 1994, but declined to
44.7% of the total loan portfolio at December 31, 1995, from 45.8% at December
31, 1994. Of that $5.0 million increase, $4.1 million was attributable to
commercial mortgages and the balance was attributable to residential mortgages.
Home equity and consumer installment loans increased $2.1 million, representing
21.2% of total loans at December 31, 1995, as compared to 21.8% at December 31,
1994.
Rate sensitive loans of $28.1 million represented 14.7% of total loans at
December 31, 1995, as compared to $27.0 million or 15.4% of total loans at
December 31, 1994. These rate sensitive loans consist primarily of commercial
loans of $23.4 million and home equity loans of $4.7 million that will reprice
with changes in the prime lending rate.

Commercial loans are placed on a non-accrual status when principal or interest
are in default for a period of 90 days or more except where there exists
sufficient collateral to cover the defaulted principal and interest payments or
management's knowledge of the specific circumstances warrant continued accrual.
Real estate mortgage loans are placed on non-accrual status at the time when
foreclosure proceedings are commenced except where there exists sufficient
collateral to cover the defaulted principal and interest payments or
management's knowledge of the specific circumstances warrant continued accrual.
Installment loans are regularly charged off when principal and interest payments
are six months in arrears. Interest earned thereafter is taken into income when
received.
The following schedule sets forth certain information regarding the Company's
non-accrual, past due and renegotiated loans and other real estate owned as of
December 31 of each of the last five years:
DECEMBER 31,

Non-accrual loans (A).......... $1,545 $1,501 $ 483 $ 213 $1,124

Total........................ $4,184 $4,424 $6,241 $3,927 $2,347
====== ====== ====== ====== ======
(A) Generally represents loans as to which the payment of interest or principal
is in arrears for a period of more than 90 days. Current policy requires
that interest previously accrued on these loans and not yet paid be reversed
and charged against income during the current period. Interest earned
thereafter is only included in income to the extent that it is received in
cash.
(B) Represents loans as to which payments of interest or principal are
contractually past due 90 days or more but which are currently accruing
income at the contractually stated rates. A determination is made to
continue accruing income on such loans only when such loans are believed to
be fully collectible.
(C) At December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, the loan portfolio included loans whose
terms had been renegotiated due to financial difficulties of borrowers. All
such loans were performing in accordance with the renegotiated terms and in
management's view, do not present a significant risk of loss as of December
31, 1995.
Included in the above schedule are two non-accrual commercial loans totalling
$629,000, and six renegotiated loans totalling $1,763,000, which represents all
loans categorized as impaired. Therefore, SFAS 114 has no impact on the
comparability of data in the above credit risk table.
There were no loans at December 31, 1995, other than those included in the above
table, where the Company was aware of any credit conditions of any borrowers
that would indicate a strong possibility of the borrowers not complying with the
present terms and conditions of repayment and which may result in such loans
being included as a non-accrual, past due or renegotiated at a future date.
At December 31, 1995, there were no concentrations of loans exceeding 10% of
total loans outstanding. Loan concentrations are considered to exist when there
are amounts loaned to a multiple number of borrowers engaged in similar
activities which would cause them to be similarly impacted by economic or other
related conditions.
Non-accrual loans at December 31, 1995, increased $44,000 to $1,545,000 from
$1,501,000 at December 31, 1994. At December 31, 1995, non-accrual loans
consisted of one home equity loan, three mortgage loans, eleven commercial
loans, and three consumer loans. All of these loans are in various stages of
litigation, foreclosure, or workout.
Loans past due ninety days or more and still accruing decreased $495,000 to
$59,000 at December 31, 1995, from $554,000 at December 31, 1994.
For 1995, the gross interest income that would have been recorded, had the loans
classified at year-end as either non-accrual or renegotiated been performing in
conformance with their original loan terms, would have been approximately
$397,000. The amount of interest income actually recorded on those loans for
1995 was $193,000. The resultant income lost of $204,000 for

================================================================================
1995 compares to $162,000 and $99,000 for 1994 and 1993, respectively.
On January 1, 1995, the Company adopted SFAS 114 ("Accounting by Creditors for
Impairment of a Loan") and SFAS 118 ("Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of
a Loan -- Income Recognition and Disclosures") as required by generally accepted
accounting principles. 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. SFAS 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 SFAS 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 SFAS 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 except as
described above, loans are placed on a non-accrual status when payments are 90
days delinquent or more. Therefore, a loan will be considered to be impaired,
when it is 90 days delinquent and it exceeds the balance guidelines for SFAS 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.
SFAS 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 SFAS 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 December 31, 1995, based on the above criteria, the Company classified
three commercial loans, including one renegotiated loan, totalling $772,000, and
five mortgage loans, including four renegotiated residential mortgage loans,
totalling $1,620,000, 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 three
commercial loans and one mortgage loan. Based upon such evaluation, $379,000 has
been allocated to the allowance for loan losses for impairment.
The following table sets forth for each of 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:

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Lakeland Bancorp, Inc.
Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Subsidiaries
================================================================================
The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to loans outstanding reflects
management's evaluation of the underlying credit risk inherent in the loan
portfolio. The determination of the appropriate level of the allowance for loan
losses is based on management's evaluation of the risk characteristics of the
loan portfolio considering such factors as the financial condition of the
borrowers, fair market value of collateral, past due and delinquency levels,
size and nature of the loan portfolio, general economic conditions, charge-off
experience and the level of non-performing loans.
The Company regards the majority of the allowance as a general allowance which
is available to absorb losses from all loans. However, for the purpose of
complying with disclosure requirements of the Commission, the table below
presents an allocation of the allowance among various loan categories and sets
forth the percentage of loans in each category to total loans. The allocation of
the allowance as shown in the table should neither be interpreted as an
indication of future charge-offs, nor as an indication that charge-offs in
future periods will necessarily occur in these amounts or in the indicated
proportions.
The following table sets forth the allocation of the allowance for loan losses
at the dates indicated by category of loans:

LIQUIDITY
The Company's primary sources of liquidity are deposits, asset maturities, and
funds provided from operations. At December 31, 1995, liquid assets, consisting
of cash and due from banks, federal funds sold and investment securities that
mature within one year, amounted to $76.9 million. The maturity schedule of the
investment portfolio, at carrying value, indicates that 34.7% of the debt
securities included in the portfolio mature within one year, and 99.81% mature
within five years. For additional information regarding the investment
portfolio, see Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Company's liquidity, represented by cash and cash equivalents, is a product
of its operating activities, investing activities and financing activities.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF Lakeland Bancorp, Inc.
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS and Subsidiaries
==============================================================================
Cash and cash equivalents increased by $16.2 million during 1995. The bulk of
such increase resulted from Financing activities, which produced $19.9 million
in cash flow. Financing Activities consisted primarily of deposit inflows offset
in part by cash dividends.
Operating activities produced $7.8 million of cash flow, $4.8 million of which
was derived from net income. A total of $11.4 million was used in investing
activities during 1995. $15.7 million was invested in the loan portfolio, while
investment activity produced a net cash inflow of $5.0 million.
The Company anticipates that it will have sufficient funds available to meet its
current loan commitments and deposit maturities. At December 31, 1995, the
Company has outstanding loan origination commitments of $10.6 million. Time
deposits that mature in one year or less, at December 31, 1995, totalled $84.6
million. Management believes that a substantial portion of such deposits will
remain with the Company.
Closely related to the concept of liquidity is the concept of interest rate
sensitivity (i.e., the extent to which assets and liabilities are sensitive to
changes in interest rates). Interest rate sensitivity is often measured by the
extent to which mismatches or "gaps" occur in the repricing of assets and
liabilities within a given time period. Gap analysis is utilized to quantify
such mismatches. A "positive" gap results when the amount of earning assets
repricing within a given time period exceeds the amount of interest-bearing
liabilities repricing within that time period. A "negative" gap results when the
amount of interest-bearing liabilities repricing within a given time period
exceeds the amount of earning assets repricing within such time period.
In general, a financial institution with a positive gap in relevant time periods
will benefit from an increase in market interest rates and will experience
erosion in net interest income if such rates fall. Likewise, a financial
institution with a negative gap in relevant time periods will normally benefit
from a decrease in market interest rates and will be adversely affected by an
increase in rates. By maintaining a balanced interest rate sensitivity position,
where interest rate sensitive assets roughly equal interest sensitive
liabilities in relevant time periods, interest rate risk can be limited. At
December 31,1995, the Company had a negative interest gap at the one year or
less time period.
The following table sets forth the estimated maturity/repricing structure of the
Company's interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities at December
31, 1995. Except as stated below, the amounts of assets or liabilities shown
which reprice or mature during a particular period were determined in accordance
with the contractual terms of each asset or liability. The table does not assume
any prepayment of fixed-rate loans. The Company has assumed that all interest-
bearing demand accounts will reprice or mature within three months and that all
savings accounts will reprice or mature within four to twelve months. The table
does not necessarily indicate the impact of general interest rate movements on
the Company's net interest income because the repricing of certain categories of
assets and liabilities, for example, prepayments of loans and withdraw of
deposits, is beyond the Company's control. As a result, certain assets and
liabilities indicated as repricing within a stated period may in fact reprice at
different times and at different rate levels.

MANAGEMENTS'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF Lakeland Bancorp, Inc.
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS and Subsidiaries
================================================================================
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 bank regulators have adopted final minimum leverage ratio
guidelines (Tier I capital to average quarterly assets, less goodwill) for
financial institutions. These guidelines provide for a minimum leverage ratio of
3% for financial institutions 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 December 31,
1995:
RISK-BASED CAPITAL RATIOS: AMOUNT RATIO
------- -------
Actual Tier I Capital...................................... $30,845 16.78%
Tier I Capital minimum amount.............................. 7,353 4.00
------- -------
Excess..................................................... $23,492 12.78%
======= =======
Actual Combined Tier I and Tier II Capital................. $33,150 18.03%
Combined Tier I and Tier II Capital minimum requirement.... 14,706 8.00
------- -------
Excess..................................................... $18,444 10.03%

LEVERAGE RATIO:
Actual Tier I Capital to average fourth quarter assets..... $30,845 8.85%

* No formal minimum leverage target (other than the three percent floor
described above) has been established for the Company or the Bank as of December
31, 1995.
EFFECTS OF INFLATION
The impact of inflation, as it affects banks, differs substantially from the
impact on non-financial institutions. Banks have assets which are primarily
monetary in nature and which tend to move with inflation. This is especially
true for banks with a high percentage of rate sensitive interest earning assets
and interest bearing liabilities. A bank can further reduce the impact of
inflation with proper management of its rate sensitivity gap. This gap
represents the difference between interest sensitive assets and interest rate
sensitive liabilities. The Company attempts to structure its assets and
liabilities and manage its gap to protect against substantial changes in
interest rate scenarios, thus minimizing the potential effects of inflation.
