                                  CERTIFICATION


I, Nandini S. Mallya, certify that:

         1.  I have reviewed this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB of
             Lincoln Park Bancorp;

         2.  Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any
             untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a
             material fact necessary to make the statements made, in
             light of the circumstances under which such statements
             were made, not misleading with respect to the period
             covered by this report;

         3.  Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other
             financial information included in this report, fairly
             present in all material respects the financial condition,
             results of operations and cash flows of the small business
             issuer as of, and for, the period presented in this
             report.

         4.  The small business issuer's other certifying officer(s)
             and I are responsible for establishing and maintaining
             disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange
             Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the registrant and
             have:
                a.  Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or
                    caused such disclosure controls and procedures to be
                    designed under our supervision, to ensure that material
                    information relating to the registrant, including its
                    consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by others
                    within those entities, particularly during the period in
                    which this report is being prepared;

                b.  Evaluated the effectiveness of the small business issuer's
                    disclosure controls and procedures and presented in this
                    report our conclusion about the effectiveness of the
                    disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the
                    period covered by this report based on such evaluation;
                    and

                c.  Disclosed in this report any change in the small business
                    issuer's internal control over financial reporting that
                    occurred during the small business issuer's most recent
                    fiscal quarter (the small business issuer's fourth fiscal
                    quarter in the case of an annual report) that has
                    materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially
                    affect, the small business issuer's internal control over
                    financial reporting; and


         5.  The small business issuer's other certifying officer(s)
             and I have disclosed, based on our most recent evaluation
             of internal control over financial reporting, to the
             registrant's auditors and the audit committee of small
             business issuer's board of directors (or persons
             performing the equivalent functions):
                a.  All significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in
                    the design or operation of internal control over financial
                    reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely affect
                    the small business issuer's ability to record, process,
                    summarize and report financial information; and

                b.  Any fraud, whether or not material, that involves
                    management or other employees who have a significant role
                    in the small business issuer's internal controls over
                    financial reporting.
