Liberty Bell Bank Announces Branch Expansion

  
    
  
  
    
      Liberty Bell Bank (Nasdaq:LBBB) today announced it has received 
      regulatory approval to establish a branch office to be located at the 
      Town Square Shopping Center located at Union Mill Road and Elbo Lane in 
      Mount Laurel, New Jersey.
    
    
      This will be the fourth full service banking center for Liberty Bell 
      Bank. Liberty Bell Bank opened in August 2003 with an initial office at 
      the Liberty Bell Bank Plaza on Route 70 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey and 
      added a branch in Moorestown, New Jersey in 2004 and one at its Marlton, 
      New Jersey headquarters in 2005.
    
    
      “This is a very exciting time for Liberty Bell 
      Bank and a fine way to celebrate the fifth anniversary of our September 
      2003 opening,” said President and CEO Kevin 
      Kutcher, who added, “especially demonstrating 
      the strength of Main Street community-based banks as compared to the 
      dire headlines surrounding the Money Center Banks and Wall Street 
      Financial Centers.”
    
    
      Liberty Bell Bank Chairman William Dunkelberg stated, “This 
      is a fine day for Liberty Bell Bank and one that demonstrates the 
      vitality of Liberty Bell Bank and our prospects for continuing growth 
      and a bright future as community banks continue to show the value of 
      fundamental banking practice. We are especially pleased that our 
      regulators supported our request, affirming that our bank is in fine 
      shape to support the growth of this proposed branch.”
    
    
      Liberty Bell Bank anticipates opening its new Mount Laurel office in 
      January 2009, if not before year-end 2008, following renovations to the 
      existing space.
    
    
      Liberty Bell Bank is headquartered in Marlton, New Jersey and reported 
      total assets of $149 million at June 30, 2008.
