Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (Unaudited)

Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation.

This quarterly report presents the consolidated financial statements of Lakeland Bancorp, Inc. (the Company) and its subsidiary, Lakeland Bank (Lakeland). The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) and predominant practices within the banking industry.

The Company’s unaudited interim financial statements reflect all adjustments, such as normal recurring accruals, that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair statement of the results of the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the quarter and six month period presented do not necessarily indicate the results that the Company will achieve for all of 2011. You should read these interim financial statements in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes that are presented in the Lakeland Bancorp, Inc. Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

The financial information in this quarterly report has been prepared in accordance with the Company’s customary accounting practices. Certain information and footnote disclosures required under U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted, as permitted by rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Company evaluated its June 30, 2011 consolidated financial statements for subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued. The Company is not aware of any subsequent events which would require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

Note 2. Stock-Based Compensation

Share-based compensation expense of $316,000 and $277,000 was recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. As of June 30, 2011, there was unrecognized compensation cost of $1.4 million related to unvested restricted stock; that cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 3.1 years. Unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock options was approximately $65,000 as of June 30, 2011 and is expected to be recognized over a period of 1.3 years.

In the first half of 2011, the Company granted 95,345 shares of restricted stock at a fair value of $9.87 per share under the Company’s 2009 equity compensation program. These shares vest over a five year period. Compensation expense on these shares is expected to average approximately $188,000 per year for the next five years. In the first six months of 2010, the Company granted 36,357 shares of restricted stock at a fair value of $6.84 per share under the 2009 program. Compensation expense on these shares is expected to average approximately $50,000 per year over a five year period.

There were no grants of stock options in the first six months of 2011.

In the first half of 2010, the Company granted options to purchase 26,250 shares to a new non-employee director of the Company at an exercise price of $8.64 per share. The director’s options vest in five equal installments beginning on the date of grant and continuing on the next four anniversaries of the date of the grant. The Company estimated the fair value of the option grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions: the risk-free interest rate was 2.32%; the expected dividend yield, 2.20%; the expected volatility, 47%; and the expected life, six years. The fair value of the options granted was estimated to be $3.31. The expected compensation expense to be recorded over the vesting period is $87,000, with approximately $51,000 remaining to be expensed.

Management has evaluated the securities in the above table and has concluded that none of the securities with unrealized losses have impairments that are other-than-temporary. In its evaluation, management considered the credit rating on the securities and the results of discounted cash flow analyses. All investment securities are evaluated on a periodic basis to determine if factors are identified that would require further analysis. In evaluating the Company’s securities, management considers the following items:

 

•

The credit ratings of the underlying issuer and if any changes in the credit rating have occurred;

•

The Company’s ability and intent to hold the securities, including an evaluation of the need to sell the security to meet certain liquidity measures, or whether the Company has sufficient levels of cash to hold the identified security in order to recover the entire amortized cost of the security;

•

The length of time the security’s fair value has been less than amortized cost; and

•

Adverse conditions related to the security or its issuer if the issuer has failed to make scheduled payments or other factors.

The average recorded investment in impaired loans and leases for the first six months of 2010 was $32.0 million and the income recognized, primarily on a cash basis, on impaired loans during the first six months of 2010 was $133,000. Interest that would have been accrued on impaired loans and leases during the first six months of 2011 and 2010 had the loans been performing under original terms would have been $1.4 million and $1.3 million, respectively.

Troubled debt restructured loans are loans and leases where significant concessions have been made due to borrowers’ financial difficulties. Interest on these loans and leases is either accrued or credited directly to interest income upon the receipt of cash.

Credit Quality Indicators

The class of loan and leases are determined by internal risk rating. Management closely and continually monitors the quality of its loans and leases and assesses the quantitative and qualitative risks arising from the credit quality of its loans and leases. It is the policy of Lakeland to require that a Credit Risk Rating be assigned to all commercial loans and loan commitments. The Credit Risk Rating System has been developed by management to provide a methodology to be used by Loan Officers, department heads and Senior Management in identifying various levels of credit risk that exist within Lakeland’s loan portfolios. The risk rating system assists Senior Management in evaluating Lakeland’s loan portfolio, analyzing trends, and determining the proper level of required reserves to be recommended to the Board. In assigning risk ratings, management considers, among other things, a borrower’s debt service coverage, earnings strength, loan to value ratios, industry conditions and economic conditions. Management categorizes loans and commitments into a one (1) to nine (9) numerical structure with rating 1 being the strongest rating and rating 9 being the weakest. Ratings 1 through 5W are considered ‘Pass’ ratings.

Leases

Lakeland had no leases held for sale as of June 30, 2011, compared to $1.5 million as of December 31, 2010. Management recorded mark-to-market adjustments on the pools of leases based on indications of interest from potential buyers, and sales prices of similar leases previously sold adjusted for differences in types of collateral and other characteristics. During the first quarter of 2011, management reclassified $1.5 million of leases held for sale as held for investment because management’s intent regarding these leases had changed. The following table shows the components of gains on leasing related assets for the periods presented:

Note 10. Estimated Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurement

U.S. GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels giving the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest level priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). The following describes the three levels of fair value hierarchy:

Level 1 – unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability.

Level 3 – unobservable inputs for the asset or liability that reflect the Company’s own assumptions about assumptions that market participants would use in the pricing of the asset or liability and that are consequently not based on market activity but upon particular valuation techniques.

The Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis are its available for sale investment securities. The Company obtains fair values on its securities using information from a third party servicer. Standard inputs

Table of Contents

include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker-dealer quotes, issuer spreads, bids and offers. If quoted prices for securities are available in an active market, those securities are classified as Level 1 securities. The Company has certain equity securities that are classified as Level 1 securities. If quoted prices in active markets are not available, fair values are estimated by the use of pricing models. Level 2 securities were primarily comprised of U.S. Agency bonds, mortgage-backed securities, obligations of state and political subdivisions and corporate securities.

The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of the periods presented by level within the fair value hierarchy. The Company had no liabilities accounted for at fair value as of June 30, 2011 or December 31, 2010. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company did not make any transfers between recurring Level 1 fair value measurements and recurring Level 2 fair value measurements. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement:

Impaired loans and leases are evaluated and valued at the time the loan is identified as impaired at the lower of cost or market value. Because most of Lakeland’s impaired loans are collateral dependant, fair value is measured based on the value of the collateral securing these loans and leases and is classified at a level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Collateral may be real estate, accounts receivable, inventory, equipment and/or other business assets. The value of the real estate is assessed based on appraisals by qualified third party licensed appraisers. The value of the equipment may be determined by an appraiser, if significant, inquiry through a recognized valuation resource, or by the value on the borrower’s financial statements. Field examiner reviews on business assets may be conducted based on the loan exposure and reliance on this type of collateral. Appraised and reported values may be discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of valuation, and/or management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business. Impaired loans and leases are reviewed and evaluated on at least a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly, based on the same factors identified above.

Other real estate owned (OREO) and other repossessed assets, representing property acquired through foreclosure, are carried at fair value less estimated disposal costs of the acquired property.

Changes in the assumptions or methodologies used to estimate fair values may materially affect the estimated amounts. Also, management is concerned that there may not be reasonable comparability between institutions due to the wide range of permitted assumptions and methodologies in the absence of active markets. This lack of uniformity gives rise to a high degree of subjectivity in estimating financial instrument fair values.

Estimated fair values have been determined by the Company using the best available data and an estimation methodology suitable for each category of financial instruments. The estimation methodologies used, the estimated fair values, and recorded book balances at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 are outlined below.

The net loan portfolio at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 has been valued using a present value discounted cash flow where market prices were not available. The discount rate used in these calculations is the estimated current market rate adjusted for credit risk. The carrying value of accrued interest approximates fair value.

The estimated fair values of demand deposits (i.e. interest (checking) and non-interest bearing demand accounts, savings and certain types of money market accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e. their carrying amounts). The carrying amounts of variable rate accounts approximate their fair values at the reporting date. For fixed maturity certificates of deposit, fair value was estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities. The carrying amount of accrued interest payable approximates its fair value.

The fair value of federal funds purchased, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, long-term debt and subordinated debentures are based upon the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The Company estimates the discount rate using the rates currently offered for similar borrowing arrangements.

Table of Contents

The fair values of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit are estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties. For fixed-rate loan commitments, fair value also considers the difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates. The fair value of guarantees and letters of credit is based on fees currently charged for similar agreements or on the estimated cost to terminate them or otherwise settle the obligations with the counterparties at the reporting date.

Note 11. Preferred Stock

On March 16, 2011, the Company redeemed 20,000 shares of its Fixed Rate Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series A originally issued to the U.S. Department of the Treasury under the Troubled Asset Relief Program Capital Purchase Program (“CPP”). The Company paid to the Treasury $20.1 million, which included $20.0 million of principal and $86,000 in accrued and unpaid dividends, on March 16, 2011. As a result of the early payment, the Company also accelerated the accretion of $745,000 of the preferred stock discount during the six months ended June 30, 2011. The warrant previously issued to the Treasury to purchase 997,049 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $8.88, subject to anti-dilution adjustments, remains outstanding.

Note 12. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued accounting guidance that modifies Step One of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. For those reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step Two of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. In determining whether it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that an impairment may exist such as if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. This guidance was effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010 and did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In April 2011, the FASB issued accounting guidance to help creditors in determining whether a creditor has granted a concession and whether a debtor is experiencing financial difficulties for purposes of determining whether a restructuring constitutes a troubled debt restructuring. The purpose of this guidance is to eliminate diversity in practice and provide greater

comparability between companies’ financial statements. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after June 15, 2011 and should be applied retrospectively to the beginning of the annual period of adoption. Adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In May 2011, the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board (the “IASB”) issued new accounting guidance on fair value measurement and disclosure requirements. This guidance is the result of work by the FASB and IASB to develop common requirements for measuring fair value and disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). As a result, the amendments change the wording used to describe many of the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. The guidance is effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The guidance is to be applied prospectively, and early application by public entities is not permitted. Adoption of the guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued accounting guidance updating the requirements regarding the presentation of comprehensive income to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income and to facilitate convergence of U.S. GAAP and IFRS. Under the new guidance, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income can be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. This guidance eliminates the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the changes in stockholders’ equity. This amendment will be applied prospectively and the amendments are effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted. Adoption of the guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Critical Accounting Policies, Judgments and Estimates

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company and its subsidiaries conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and predominant practices within the banking industry. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, Lakeland, Lakeland NJ Investment Corp., Lakeland Investment Corp., Lakeland Equity, Inc., and Lakeland Preferred Equity, Inc. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Lakeland Preferred Equity, Inc. is a Real Estate Investment Trust formed by Lakeland in the fourth quarter of 2010.

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. These estimates and assumptions also affect reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. There have been no material changes in the Company’s critical accounting policies, judgments and estimates, including assumptions or estimation techniques utilized, as compared to those disclosed in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The Company tests goodwill for impairment annually or when circumstances indicate a potential for impairment at the reporting unit level. The Company has determined that it has one reporting unit, Community Banking. The Company analyzes goodwill using various methodologies including an income approach and a market approach. The income approach calculates cash flows to a potential acquirer based on the anticipated financial results assuming a change in control transaction. The market approach includes a comparison of pricing multiples in recent acquisitions of similar companies and applies these multiples to the Company. The Company tested the goodwill as of November 30, 2010 and determined that it is not impaired. There were no triggering events since November 30, 2010 that would cause the Company to do an interim valuation.

Results of Operations

(Second Quarter 2011 Compared to Second Quarter 2010)

Net Income

Net income for the second quarter of 2011 was $4.9 million, compared to net income of $4.8 million for the same period in 2010. Net income available to common shareholders was $4.6 million compared to net income of $3.8 million for the same period last year. Dividends on preferred stock and accretion decreased to $294,000 for the second quarter of 2011 from $904,000 for the same period last year. The lower dividends and accretion reflect a total of $40.0 million in repayments to the U.S. Department of the Treasury to repurchase preferred stock under the CPP. Diluted earnings per share was $0.18 for the second quarter of 2011, compared to diluted earnings per share of $0.15 for the same period last year.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income on a tax equivalent basis for the second quarter of 2011 was $24.7 million, compared to $25.2 million earned in the second quarter of 2010. The net interest margin decreased from 3.96% in the second quarter of 2010 to 3.90% in the second quarter of 2011, primarily as a result of a 30 basis point decline in the yield on interest-earning assets, which was partially offset by a 26 basis point reduction in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities. The net interest spread as a result declined four basis points to 3.72%. The components of net interest income will be discussed in greater detail below.

The following table reflects the components of the Company’s net interest income, setting forth for the periods presented, (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 cost of interest-bearing liabilities) and (5) the Company’s net interest margin. Rates are computed on a tax equivalent basis using a tax rate of 35%.

Interest income on a tax equivalent basis decreased from $31.9 million in the second quarter of 2010 to $29.9 million in the second quarter of 2011, a decrease of $2.0 million, or 6%. The decrease in interest income was due primarily to a 30 basis point decrease in the yield on interest earning assets, as a result of lower yields on new loans and investments, along with a lower percentage of earning assets being deployed in loans and leases. The yield on average loans and leases at 5.28% in the second quarter of 2011 was 35 basis points lower than the second quarter of 2010. The yield on average taxable and tax exempt investment securities decreased by 28 basis points and 65 basis points, respectively, in the second quarter of 2011. Average loans and leases at $1.98 billion decreased $16.2 million from the second quarter of 2010, while average investment securities at $531.0 million increased $48.7 million. Loans and leases typically earn higher yields than investment securities.

Total interest expense decreased from $6.7 million in the second quarter of 2010 to $5.2 million in the second quarter of 2011, a decrease of $1.5 million, or 22%. The cost of average interest-bearing liabilities decreased from 1.25% in the second quarter of 2010 to 0.99% in 2011. The decrease in yield was due to the continuing low rate environment along with a change in the mix of interest-bearing liabilities. Average rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities declined in all categories. Savings and interest-bearing transaction accounts as a percent of interest-bearing liabilities increased from 64% in the second quarter of 2010 to 67% in the second quarter of 2011. Time deposits as a percent of interest-bearing liabilities declined from 22% in the second quarter of 2010 to 20% in the second quarter of 2011 as customers preferred to keep their deposits in short-term transaction accounts in the current low rate environment. Average borrowings decreased from $281.3 million in the second quarter of 2010 to $271.4 million in 2011.

Provision for Loan and Lease Losses

In determining the provision for loan and lease losses, management considers national and local economic conditions; trends in the portfolio including orientation to specific loan types or industries; experience, ability and depth of

lending management in relation to the complexity of the portfolio; adequacy and adherence to policies, procedures and practices; levels and trends in delinquencies, impaired loans and leases; net charge-offs, and the results of independent third party loan and lease review.

In the second quarter of 2011, a $5.4 million provision for loan and lease losses was recorded, which was $405,000 greater than the provision for the same period last year. During the second quarter of 2011, the Company charged off loans of $6.9 million and recovered $1.6 million in previously charged off loans and leases compared to $4.9 million and $763,000, respectively, during the same period in 2010. For more information regarding the determination of the provision, see “Risk Elements” below.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income increased $157,000, or 3%, to $4.7 million in the second quarter of 2011 compared to the second quarter of 2010. The increase in noninterest income was due primarily to gains on investment securities, which were $444,000 in the second quarter of 2011 compared to no gains in the second quarter of 2010. Commissions and fees at $1.0 million increased by $207,000, or 25%, primarily due to a $125,000, or 52%, increase in investment commission income. Gains on leasing related assets at $230,000 decreased by $325,000, reflecting a smaller portfolio, while other income at $66,000 was $214,000 lower than the same period last year, as the Company recorded a gain of $181,000 on the sale of a branch office building in the second quarter of 2010. Income on bank owned life insurance at $359,000 was $26,000 less than the same period last year primarily as a result of decreases in rates for the underlying policies.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense totaling $16.7 million decreased $375,000, or 2%, in the second quarter of 2011 from the second quarter of 2010. The decrease in noninterest expense in this quarter was due primarily to a $369,000 reduction in FDIC expenses as a result of changes made by the FDIC in the method of calculating assessment rates. Additionally, collection expense totaling $60,000 was $99,000 lower than the same period in 2010 due primarily to a reduction in leasing related costs. The Company’s efficiency ratio, a non-GAAP financial measure, was 56.2% in the second quarter of 2011, compared to 55.9% for the same period last year reflecting continued management of expenses. The Company uses this ratio because it believes that the ratio provides a good comparison of period-to-period performance and because the ratio is widely accepted in the banking industry. The following table shows the calculation of the efficiency ratio for the periods presented:

Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate was 30.5% in the second quarter of 2011, compared to 35.5% in the second quarter of 2010. The decrease in the effective tax rate was driven by increased tax benefits attributable to the real estate investment trust (“REIT”) subsidiary established in December 2010.

Results of Operations

(Year to Date 2011 Compared to Year to Date 2010)

Net Income

Net income for the first half of 2011 was $9.6 million, compared to net income of $9.3 million for the same period in 2010. Net income available to common shareholders was $8.0 million compared to net income of $7.5 million for the same period last year. Diluted earnings per share was $0.31 for the first half of 2011, compared to diluted earnings per share of $0.30 per share for the same period last year. Dividends on preferred stock and accretion declined from $1.8 million for the first six months of 2010 to $1.6 million for the same period in 2011 reflecting repayments to the U.S. Department of the Treasury to repurchase preferred stock under the CPP. These repayments consisted of a $20.0 million repayment in August of 2010 and a $20.0 million repayment in March of 2011. Dividends on preferred stock and accretion in 2011 include a non-cash charge of $745,000 reflecting the acceleration of the preferred stock discount accretion on the $20.0 million payment in 2011.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income on a tax equivalent basis for the first half of 2011 was $49.5 million, which was $517,000 less than the $50.1 million earned in the first half of 2010. The net interest margin decreased from 3.98% in the first half of 2010 to 3.90% in the first half of 2011, primarily as a result a 35 basis point decline in the yield on interest-earning assets, which was partially offset by a 30 basis point reduction in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities. The net interest spread as a result declined four basis points to 3.73%. Although the net interest spread declined, the decline was mitigated by an increase in income earned on free funds (interest earning assets funded by non-interest bearing liabilities) resulting from an increase in average non-interest bearing deposits of $65.5 million. The components of net interest income will be discussed in greater detail below.

The following table reflects the components of the Company’s net interest income, setting forth for the periods presented, (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 cost of interest-bearing liabilities) and (5) the Company’s net interest margin. Rates are computed on a tax equivalent basis using a tax rate of 35%.

Interest income on a tax equivalent basis decreased from $63.9 million in the first half of 2010 to $60.0 million in the first half of 2011, a decrease of $3.9 million, or 6%. The decrease in interest income was due to a 35 basis point decrease in the yield on interest earning assets, which resulted from lower yields on new loans and investments, and the change in mix discussed previously in the comparison of the results of operations between the second quarter of 2011 and 2010.

Total interest expense decreased from $13.9 million in the first half of 2010 to $10.5 million in the first half of 2011, a decrease of $3.4 million, or 24%. Average interest-bearing liabilities decreased $28.6 million, while the cost of those liabilities decreased from 1.30% in 2010 to 1.00% in 2011 for the same reasons as discussed in the quarterly analysis. Average deposits increased from $2.20 billion in the first half of 2010 to $2.23 billion in the first half of 2011, an increase of $34.4 million, or 2%.

Provision for Loan and Lease Losses

In the first half of 2011, a $10.3 million provision for loan and lease losses was recorded, compared to $9.9 million for the same period last year. During the first half of 2011, the Company charged off loans of $12.6 million and recovered $3.1 million in previously charged off loans and leases compared to $9.0 million and $1.3 million, respectively, during the same period in 2010. For more information regarding the determination of the provision, see “Risk Elements” below.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income increased $278,000, or 3%, to $8.9 million in the first half of 2011 compared to the first half of 2010. Noninterest income increased for the same reasons discussed in the quarterly comparison, reflecting a $444,000 gain on investment securities and a $154,000 increase in commissions and fees. Gains on leasing related assets at $693,000 and income on bank owned life insurance at $714,000 were $166,000 and $57,000 less than the same period last year, respectively, due to the same reasons discussed in the quarterly comparison. Additionally, other income was $197,000 lower in the first half of 2011 due to the aforementioned sale of a branch office building in the first half of 2010.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense totaling $33.8 million decreased $129,000 in the first half of 2011 compared to the first six months of 2010. FDIC expense at $1.5 million and collection expenses at $125,000 were $355,000 and $182,000 lower, respectively, than the same period in 2010 due to the same reasons discussed in the quarterly comparison. Stationery, supplies and postage at $760,000 in the first half of 2011 decreased $52,000 primarily as a result of a reduction in postage expense due to the implementation of electronic statement delivery. Legal expense totaling $706,000 was $58,000, or 8%, lower than the first six months of 2010, while other real estate and repossessed asset expense at $472,000 increased $237,000. The Company’s efficiency ratio, a non-GAAP financial measure, was 56.43% in the first half of 2011, compared to 56.40% for the same period last year reflecting continued management of expenses.

Table of Contents

June 30, 2011 due primarily to a 7% reduction in investment securities and a 1% reduction in total loans. Total deposits decreased 1%, while non-interest bearing transaction accounts increased 7%.

Loans and Leases

Gross loans and leases, including leases held for sale, at $1.98 billion decreased by $28.6 million from December 31, 2010. The decrease in gross loans and leases is primarily due to leases at $38.9 million and residential mortgages at $393.1 million decreasing $28.3 million and $10.5 million, respectively. For more information on the loan portfolio, see Note 7 in Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Risk Elements

Non-performing assets increased from $44.6 million, or 1.60% of total assets, on December 31, 2010 to $56.5 million, or 2.06% of total assets, on June 30, 2011. The majority of the increase was in commercial loan and real estate construction loan non-accruals, which increased $7.4 million and $5.5 million, respectively from December 31, 2010. The increase in non-accruals resulted primarily from three loan relationships that became non-performing totaling $16.5 million. Leases on non-accrual decreased $1.3 million from December 31, 2010 to $5.0 million on June 30, 2011. Non-accrual leases include $4.0 million in net receivables related to one lessee who has named the Company and other unrelated parties in a complaint in connection with the leases. For more information, please see Legal Proceedings in Item 1 of Part II of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Commercial loan non-accruals at June 30, 2011 included six loan relationships with balances over $1.0 million, totaling $21.6 million, and four loan relationships between $500,000 and $1.0 million, totaling $3.2 million.

Loans and leases past due ninety days or more and still accruing at June 30, 2011 increased $1.6 million to $2.8 million from $1.2 million on December 31, 2010. Loans and leases past due 90 days or more and still accruing are those loans and leases that are considered both well-secured and in process of collection.

On June 30, 2011, the Company had $7.5 million in loans that were troubled debt restructurings and still accruing interest income compared to $9.1 million on December 31, 2010. Troubled debt restructurings are those loans where the Company has granted concessions to the borrower in payment terms, either in rate or in term, as a result of the financial condition of the borrower.

On June 30, 2011, the Company had $41.4 million in impaired loans and leases (consisting primarily of non-accrual and restructured loans and leases) compared to $30.0 million at year-end 2010. Impaired loans increased from year-end 2010 as a result of the increase in non-accrual commercial loans. For more information on these loans and leases see Note 7 in Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The impairment of the loans and leases is measured using the present value of future cash flows on certain impaired loans and leases and is based on the fair value of the underlying collateral for the remaining loans and leases. Based on such evaluation, $530,000 has been allocated as a portion of the allowance for loan and lease losses for impairment at June 30, 2011. At June 30, 2011, the Company also had $36.8 million in loans and leases that were rated substandard that were not classified as non-performing or impaired compared to $47.0 million at December 31, 2010.

There were no loans and leases at June 30, 2011, other than those designated non-performing, impaired or substandard, where the Company was aware of any credit conditions of any borrowers or obligors that would indicate a strong possibility of the borrowers not complying with present terms and conditions of repayment and which may result in such loans and leases being included as non-accrual, past due or renegotiated at a future date. The following table sets forth for the periods presented, the historical relationships among the allowance for loan and lease losses, the provision for loan and lease losses, the amount of loans and leases charged-off and the amount of loan and lease recoveries:

(1) Includes construction real estate loans

The ratio of the allowance for loan and lease losses to loans and leases outstanding reflects management’s evaluation of the underlying credit risk inherent in the loan portfolio. The determination of the adequacy of the allowance for loan and lease losses and periodic provisioning for estimated losses included in the consolidated financial statements is the responsibility of management and the Board of Directors. The evaluation process is undertaken on a quarterly basis.

Methodology employed for assessing the adequacy of the allowance for loan and lease losses consists of the following criteria:

 

•

The establishment of reserve amounts for all specifically identified classified loans and leases that have been designated as requiring attention by the Company or its external loan review consultants.

 

•

The establishment of reserves for pools of homogeneous types of loans and leases not subject to specific review, including impaired commercial loans under $250,000, 1 – 4 family residential mortgages and consumer loans.

 

•

The establishment of reserve amounts for the non-classified loans and leases in each portfolio based upon the historical average loss experience of these portfolios and management’s evaluation of key factors described below.

Consideration is given to the results of ongoing credit quality monitoring processes, the adequacy and expertise of the Company’s lending staff, underwriting policies, loss histories, delinquency trends, and the cyclical nature of economic and business conditions. Since many of the Company’s loans depend on the sufficiency of collateral as a secondary means of repayment, any adverse trend in the real estate markets could affect underlying values available to protect the Company against loss.

While non-performing loans and leases increased from $43.0 million on December 31, 2010 to $55.0 million on

Table of Contents

June 30, 2011, the allowance for loan and lease losses as a percent of total loans increased to 1.42% of total loans on June 30, 2011, compared to 1.36% as of December 31, 2010. As discussed above, the increase in non-performing loans was related primarily to three loan relationships. Management believes, based on appraisals and estimated selling costs, that its non-performing loans and leases are adequately secured and reserves on these loans are adequate. The preceding statement constitutes a forward-looking statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Based upon the process employed and giving recognition to all accompanying factors related to the loan and lease portfolio, management considers the allowance for loan and lease losses to be adequate at June 30, 2011. The preceding statement constitutes a forward-looking statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Investment Securities

For detailed information on the composition and maturity distribution of the Company’s investment securities portfolio, see the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this Form 10-Q. Total investment securities decreased from $553.7 million on December 31, 2010 to $515.0 million on June 30, 2011, a decrease of $38.6 million, or 7%.

Deposits

Total deposits decreased from $2.20 billion on December 31, 2010 to $2.18 billion on June 30, 2011, a decrease of $13.5 million, or 1%. Savings and interest-bearing transaction accounts totaling $1.37 billion decreased $29.0 million from December 31, 2010, while time deposits totaling $402.4 million decreased $10.5 million. Noninterest bearing deposits increased $25.9 million, or 7%, to $409.8 million, resulting primarily from an increase in commercial noninterest bearing deposits.

Liquidity

Liquidity relates to the Company’s ability to meet the borrowing and cash withdrawal requirements of its customers, to meet current and planned expenditures and to satisfy its debt obligations. Lakeland funds its liquidity needs through its net income, through generating deposits, through sales of its available for sale securities, through loan repayments, and through use of overnight credit lines. Lakeland can also generate funds by utilizing long-term debt or securities sold through agreements to repurchase that would be collateralized by security or mortgage collateral. Management and the Board monitor the Company’s liquidity through the Asset Liability Management Committee (the “ALCO”) which monitors the Company’s compliance to certain regulatory ratios and various other liquidity guidelines.

The cash flow statements for the periods presented provide an indication of the Company’s sources and uses of cash, as well as an indication of the ability of the Company to maintain an adequate level of liquidity. A discussion of the cash flow statement for the six months ended June 30, 2011 follows.

Cash and cash equivalents, totaling $71.7 million on June 30, 2011, increased $22.4 million from December 31, 2010. Operating activities provided $25.6 million in net cash. Investing activities provided $60.2 million in net cash, primarily reflecting maturities, repayments and sales of securities. Financing activities used $63.4 million in net cash, reflecting repayments of other borrowings and the redemption of $20.0 million in preferred stock. The Company anticipates that it will have sufficient funds available to meet its current loan commitments and deposit maturities. This constitutes a forward-looking statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

The following table sets forth contractual obligations and other commitments representing required and potential cash outflows as of June 30, 2011. Interest on subordinated debentures and long-term borrowed funds is calculated based on current contractual interest rates.

Capital Resources

Total stockholders’ equity decreased from $260.7 million on December 31, 2010 to $250.6 million on June 30, 2011, a decrease of $10.1 million, or 4%. Book value per common share increased to $9.11 on June 30, 2011 from $8.82 on December 31, 2010. The decrease in stockholders’ equity from December 31, 2010 to June 30, 2011 was primarily due to the $20.0 million redemption of preferred stock and payment of cash dividends of $3.3 million. This was partially offset by $9.6 million in net income and a $2.8 million increase in accumulated other comprehensive income relating to an increase in market value in the Company’s available for sale securities portfolio.

The Company and Lakeland are subject to various regulatory capital requirements that are monitored by federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can lead to certain supervisory actions by regulators; any supervisory action could have a direct material adverse effect on the Company or Lakeland’s financial statements. Management believes, as of June 30, 2011, that the Company and Lakeland meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

The capital ratios for the Company and Lakeland at June 30, 2011 are as follows:

 

Capital Ratios:		Tier 1 Capital to Total Average Assets Ratio June 30, 2011		Tier 1 Capital to Risk-Weighted Assets Ratio June 30, 2011		Total Capital to Risk-Weighted Assets Ratio June 30, 2011
The Company		8.09%		10.95%		13.26%
Lakeland Bank		8.30%		11.24%		12.50%
“Well capitalized” institution under FDIC Regulations		5.00%		6.00%		10.00%

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The Company manages interest rate risk and market risk by identifying and quantifying interest rate risk exposures using simulation analysis and economic value at risk models. Net interest income simulation considers the relative sensitivities of the balance sheet including the effects of interest rate caps on adjustable rate mortgages and the relatively stable aspects of core deposits. As such, net interest income simulation is designed to address the probability of interest rate changes and the behavioral response of the balance sheet to those changes. Market Value of Portfolio Equity represents the fair value of the net present value of assets, liabilities and off-balance-sheet items. Changes in estimates and assumptions made for interest rate sensitivity modeling could have a significant impact on projected results and conclusions. These assumptions could include prepayment rates, sensitivity of non-maturity deposits and other similar assumptions. Therefore, if our assumptions should change, this technique may not accurately reflect the impact of general interest rate movements on the Company’s net interest income or net portfolio value.

The starting point (or “base case”) for the following table is an estimate of the following year’s net interest income assuming that both interest rates and the Company’s interest-sensitive assets and liabilities remain at period-end levels. The net interest income estimated for the next twelve months (the base case) is $96.6 milllion. The information provided for net interest income assumes that changes in interest rates of plus 200 basis points and minus 200 basis points change gradually in equal increments (“rate ramp”) over the twelve month period.

 

		Changes in interest rates
Rate Ramp		+200 bp		+100 bp		-100 bp		-200 bp
Asset/Liability Policy Limit		-5.0%						-5.0%
June 30, 2011		-3.1%		-1.3%		-1.8%		-2.7%
December 31, 2010		-3.3%		-1.5%		-1.9%		-2.6%

The base case for the following table is an estimate of the Company’s net portfolio value for the periods presented using current discount rates, and assuming the Company’s interest-sensitive assets and liabilities remain at period-end levels. The net portfolio value at June 30, 2011 (the base case) was $342.0 million. The information provided for the net portfolio value assumes fluctuations or “rate shocks” of plus 200 basis points and minus 200 basis points for changes in interest rates as shown in the table below. Rate shocks assume that current interest rates change immediately.

 

		Changes in interest rates
Rate Shock		+200 bp		+100 bp		-100 bp		-200 bp
Asset/Liability Policy Limit		-25.0%						-25.0%
June 30, 2011		-6.1%		-1.1%		-4.3%		-10.7%
December 31, 2010		-7.9%		-2.0%		-2.5%		-8.6%

The information set forth in the above tables is based on significant estimates and assumptions, and constitutes a forward-looking statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. For more information regarding the Company’s market risk and assumptions used in the Company’s simulation models, please refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

A complaint, dated February 24, 2010, was filed by the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, as plaintiff, against the Company and other unrelated parties in the Circuit Court of Maryland for Prince George’s County. The plaintiff alleges fraudulent conduct in connection with certain equipment leases it entered into by a vendor and lease broker not affiliated with the Company. Certain of these leases were subsequently assigned to Lakeland resulting in the plaintiff amending its complaint to include all parties that were assignees. The Company believes that the claims asserted against it are without merit.

Other than as described above, there are no pending legal proceedings involving the Company or Lakeland other than those arising in the normal course of business. Management does not anticipate that the potential liability, if any, arising out of such legal proceedings will have a material effect on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company and Lakeland on a consolidated basis.
