LCNB CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)



Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

Substantially all of the assets, liabilities and operations of LCNB Corp. ("LCNB") are attributable to its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Lebanon Citizens National Bank ("Lebanon Citizens") and Dakin Insurance Agency, Inc. ("Dakin").  The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of LCNB, Lebanon Citizens, and Dakin.


The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, which have been reviewed by J.D. Cloud & Co. L.L.P., LCNB’s independent registered public accounting firm, in accordance with standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, as indicated by their report included herein and which does not express an opinion on those statements, have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods, as required by Regulation S-X, Rule 10-01.


Certain prior period data presented in the financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.


Share and per share data have been restated to reflect a 100% stock dividend, accounted for as a stock split, declared by the Board of Directors on April 10, 2007 and paid on May 10, 2007 to shareholders of record on April 25, 2007.


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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 and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.


Results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2007.  These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, accounting policies, and financial notes thereto included in LCNB's 2006 Form 10-K filed with the SEC.

Note 2 - Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings per share is adjusted for the dilutive effects of stock options.  The diluted average number of common shares outstanding has been increased for the assumed exercise of stock options with proceeds used to purchase treasury shares at the average market price for the period.  The computations were as follows for the three and six months ended June 30 (in thousands, except share and per share data):

The decline in fair values is primarily due to increases in market interest rates.  Unrealized losses on securities at June 30, 2007 have not been recognized into income currently because management has the intent and ability to hold the securities for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair values.  Therefore, no individual declines are deemed to be other than temporary.

Non-accrual loans at June 30, 2007 consisted of one real estate mortgage loan and one home equity line of credit loan.  Non-accrual loans at December 31, 2006 consisted of a real estate mortgage loan and a home equity line of credit loan made to the same borrower, and a loan secured by farmland.  The real estate mortgage loan and home equity loan were paid current during the second quarter, 2007 and the loan secured by farmland was paid in full during the second quarter, 2007.  


Loans past-due 90 days or more and still accruing interest at June 30, 2007 consisted of two residential mortgage loans totaling $91,000 and 7 consumer loans totaling $40,000.  Loans past-due 90 days or more at December 31, 2006 consisted of six consumer loans totaling $52,000 and two residential mortgage loans totaling $74,000.  


Restructured loans at June 30, 2007 consist of a commercial loan secured by commercial real estate.  It was previously classified as restructured and was removed from that classification during the fourth quarter, 2006 because it was current and had a market interest rate.  It was returned to the restructured classification during the second quarter, 2007 because of the Bank’s agreement to waive the required principal payments for a period of one year, pending the sale of the underlying collateral property.


Not included in the above table is a commercial loan with a balance of $1,277,000 secured by a combination of mortgages and other collateral that was past-due 72 days at June 30, 2007.  This loan was also previously classified as a restructured loan and was removed from that classification during the fourth quarter, 2006 because it was current at that time and had a market interest rate.  


Real estate acquired through foreclosure was $754,000 and $752,000 at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively, and is included in “other assets” in the consolidated balance sheets.  Real estate acquired at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 consisted of one single-family residential home.

Note 4 - Loans (continued)

Mortgage loans sold to and serviced for the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC") are not included in the accompanying balance sheets.  The unpaid principal balances of those loans at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 were $41,608,000 and $42,431,000, respectively.  Loans sold to the FHLMC during the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 totaled $1,364,000 and $2,006,000, respectively, and $902,000 and $2,125,000 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively.



Note 5 – Borrowings

During March, 2007, LCNB obtained a $5 million advance from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati.  The term of the advance is ten years and interest is payable monthly at a fixed rate of 5.25%.  The loan is secured by a blanket pledge of LCNB’s 1-4 family first lien mortgage loans.


At June 30, 2007, short-term borrowings included U.S. Treasury demand note borrowings of approximately $1,253,000.  The interest rate on the U.S. Treasury demand note borrowings is variable and was 5.10% at June 30, 2007.


At December 31, 2006, short-term borrowings included federal funds borrowed of $14,100,000 and U.S. Treasury demand note borrowings of approximately $1,264,000.  The interest rate on federal funds borrowed was 5.25% and the interest rate on the U.S. Treasury demand note borrowings was 5.04% at December 31, 2006.  



Note 6 – Regulatory Capital

Lebanon Citizens and LCNB are required by regulators to meet certain minimum levels of capital adequacy. These are expressed in the form of certain ratios. Capital is separated into Tier 1 capital (essentially shareholders' equity less goodwill and other intangibles) and Tier 2 capital (essentially the allowance for loan losses limited to 1.25% of risk-weighted assets). The first two ratios, which are based on the degree of credit risk in LCNB's assets, provide for weighting assets based on assigned risk factors and include off-balance sheet items such as loan commitments and stand-by letters of credit. The ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets must be at least 4.0% and the ratio of Total capital (Tier 1 capital plus Tier 2 capital) to risk-weighted assets must be at least 8.0%.  The capital leverage ratio supplements the risk-based capital guidelines. Banks are required to maintain a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to adjusted quarterly average total assets of 3.0%.


For various regulatory purposes, financial institutions are classified into categories based upon capital adequacy.  The highest "well-capitalized" category requires capital ratios of at least 10% for total risk-based, 6% for Tier 1 risk-based, and 5% for leverage.  As of the most recent notification from their regulators, Lebanon Citizens and LCNB were categorized as "well-capitalized" under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.  Management believes that no conditions or events have occurred since the last notification that would change the Lebanon Citizens' or LCNB's category.  A summary of the regulatory capital and capital ratios of LCNB follows (dollars in thousands):

Note 7 - Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

LCNB is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers.  These financial instruments included commitments to extend credit.  They involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheets.  Exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other parties to financial instruments for commitments to extend credit is represented by the contract amount of those instruments.


LCNB uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.  Financial instruments whose contract amounts represent off-balance-sheet credit risk at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 were as follows (in thousands):

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract.  Unused lines of credit include amounts not drawn in line of credit loans.  Commitments to extend credit and unused lines of credit generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses.  


Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party.  At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, outstanding guarantees of $2,256,000 and $1,674,000, respectively, were issued to developers and contractors.  These guarantees generally are fully secured and have varying maturities.  In addition, LCNB has a participation in a letter of credit securing payment of principal and interest on a bond issue.  The participation amount at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 were approximately $6.3 million and $4.1 million, respectively.  The letter of credit balance is greater at June 30, 2007 because it was re-written in April, 2007.  At that time, LCNB’s participation amount was increased to the higher amount.  The new agreement has a final maturity date of January, 2012.


LCNB evaluates each customer's credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis.  The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary, is based on management's credit evaluation of the borrower.  Collateral held varies, but may include accounts receivable; inventory; property, plant and equipment; residential realty; and income-producing commercial properties.

Note 7 – Commitments and Contingent Liabilities (continued)

Management believes that LCNB has sufficient liquidity to fund its lending and capital expenditure commitments.


LCNB and its subsidiaries are parties to various claims and proceedings arising in the normal course of business.  Management, after consultation with legal counsel, believes that the liabilities, if any, arising from such proceedings and claims will not be material to the consolidated financial position or results of operations.  



Note 8 - Stock Options

Under the Ownership Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), LCNB may grant stock-based awards to eligible employees.  The awards may be in the form of stock options, share awards, and/or appreciation rights.  The Plan provides for the issuance of up to 200,000 shares.  As of March 31, 2007, only stock options have been granted under the Plan.  Options granted to date vest ratably over a five year period and expire ten years after the date of grant.  Stock options outstanding at June 30, 2007, as adjusted for the 100% stock dividend paid May 10, 2007, were as follows:

Note 8 - Stock Options (continued)

At June 30, 2007, the aggregate intrinsic value (the amount by which the current market value of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price of the option) for options outstanding at that date and that were “in the money” (market price greater than exercise price) was approximately $10,000.  The aggregate intrinsic value at that date for only the options that were exercisable was approximately $8,000.  The intrinsic value changes based on changes in the market value of the Company’s stock.


The estimated weighted-average fair value of the options granted in the first quarter of 2007 and 2006 were $3.76 and $4.51 per option, respectively.  The fair value was estimated at the dates of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and the following assumptions:

Note 10 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements

SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” was issued by the FASB in September, 2006.  SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  This statement does not require any new fair value measurements, but increases consistency and comparability in the use of fair value measurements and calculations.  This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and for interim periods within those fiscal years.  Management does not anticipate that the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have a material effect on LCNB’s consolidated balance sheet or income statement.


SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities,” was issued by the FASB in February, 2007.  It permits, but does not require, corporations to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value.  The decision to elect the fair value option is made individually for each instrument and is irrevocable once made.  Changes in fair value will be recorded in earnings.  SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007.  Early adoption is permitted.  Management intends to adopt SFAS No. 159 in the year beginning January 1, 2008 and does not anticipate that adoption of this standard will have a material effect on LCNB’s consolidated balance sheet or income statement.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM




To the Board of Directors and Shareholders

LCNB Corp. and subsidiaries

Lebanon, Ohio



We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of LCNB Corp. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2007, and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for each of the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.


We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters.  It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole.  Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.


Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.


We previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of LCNB Corp. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006 (presented herein), and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein), and in our report dated February 21, 2007, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.  In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2006, is fairly stated in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Forward Looking Statements

Certain matters disclosed herein may be deemed to be forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.  Forward looking statements are statements that include projections, predictions, expectations or beliefs about future events or results or otherwise are not statements of historical fact. Such statements are often characterized by the use of qualifying words and their derivatives such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “plans,” “projects,” or other statements concerning opinions or judgments of the Company and its management about future events.   Factors that could influence the accuracy of such forward looking statements include, but are not limited to, regulatory policy changes, interest rate fluctuations, loan demand, loan delinquencies and losses, general economic conditions and other risks.  Such forward-looking statements represent management's judgment as of the current date.  Actual strategies and results in future time periods may differ materially from those currently expected.  LCNB Corp. disclaims, however, any intent or obligation to update such forward-looking statements.  LCNB intends such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.



Acquisition

On May 31, 2006, Dakin purchased the existing book of business of Altemeier Oliver & Company Agency, Inc. (“AOC”), an independent insurance agency located in Blue Ash, Ohio. The acquisition of AOC was accounted for using the purchase accounting method and the results of operations of AOC have been included in the consolidated financial statements of LCNB since the acquisition date.  The acquired assets consisted solely of a customer list intangible asset.  This intangible asset is being amortized on a straight-line basis over a ten year period.



Results of Operations

LCNB earned $1,597,000 or $0.25 basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended June 30, 2007, compared to $1,609,000 or $0.25 basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended June 30, 2006.  The return on average assets (ROAA) for the second quarter, 2007 was 1.18% and the return on average equity (ROAE) was 12.35%, compared with an ROAA of 1.19% and an ROAE of 12.35% for the second quarter of 2006.  The decrease in net income for the second quarter, 2007 is primarily attributable to an increase in non-interest expense, partially offset by a decrease in the provision for loan losses.


LCNB earned $2,995,000 or $0.47 basic and diluted earnings per share during the first six months of 2007 compared to $3,218,000 or $0.49 basic and diluted earnings per share for the first six months of 2006.  The ROAA and ROAE for the first six months of 2007 were 1.11% and 11.69%, respectively.  The comparable ratios for the first six months of 2006 were 1.20% and 12.41%, respectively.  The decrease in net income for the first half of 2007 is primarily attributable to decreased net interest income, increased non-interest expenses, and an increase in the provision for loan losses.

LCNB CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES


Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of

Operations (continued)


Net interest income on a fully tax-equivalent basis for the three months ended June 30, 2007 totaled $4,804,000, a decrease of $9,000 from the comparable period in 2006.  Total interest income increased $454,000, which was more than offset by an increase in total interest expense of $463,000.  


The increase in total interest income was due to a 32 basis point (one basis point equals 0.01%) increase in the average rate earned on earning assets and to a $4.0 million increase in average interest earning assets, from $498.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 to $502.4 million for the same period in 2007.  The increase in interest earning assets was primarily from loan growth, which increased by $21.9 million on an average basis, partially offset by a $19.0 million decrease in investment securities.  The increase in the average rate earned on earning assets was primarily due to general increases in market interest rates.


The increase in total interest expense was primarily due to a 43 basis point increase in the average rate paid and secondarily due to a new $5.0 million advance obtained from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) of Cincinnati during March, 2007.  The increase in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities was primarily due to general increases in market interest rates.


The net interest margin narrowed 3 basis points in the second quarter, 2007 compared to the second quarter, 2006. The lower margin reflects highly competitive market pricing conditions for both loans and deposits and a relatively flat yield curve between short-term and long-term interest rates.  As a result, average deposit rates increased faster than average loan rates.



Six Months Ended June 30, 2007 vs. 2006.

The following table presents, for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, average balances for interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, the income or expense related to each item, and the resultant average yields earned or rates paid.

Net interest income on a fully tax-equivalent basis for the first half of 2007 totaled $9,586,000, a $101,000 decrease from the first half of 2006.  Total interest income increased $955,000 and was more than offset by an increase in total interest expense of $1,056,000.


The increase in total interest income was primarily due to a 34 basis point increase in the average rate earned on earning assets, from 6.20% for the first half of 2006 to 6.54% for the first half of 2007, and secondarily to a $3.6 million increase in average total earning assets.  The increase in average earning assets was due to a $24.9 million increase in average loans, largely offset by a $19.4 million decrease in investment securities.


-23-







LCNB CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES


Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of

Operations (continued)


The increase in total interest expense was due primarily to a 49 basis point increase in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities and secondarily due to the $5.0 FHLB advance obtained during the first quarter of 2007.  


The net interest margin decreased 7 basis points in the first half of 2007 compared to the first half of 2006 for substantially the same reasons previously discussed.



Provision and Allowance For Loan Losses

The total provision for loan losses is determined based upon management's evaluation as to the amount needed to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level considered appropriate in relation to the risk of losses inherent in the portfolio.  In addition to historic charge-off percentages, factors taken into consideration to determine the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses include the nature, volume, and consistency of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, a review of specific problem loans, and current economic conditions that may affect borrowers’ ability to pay.  The provision for loan losses for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was $23,000 and $146,000, respectively, and $83,000 and $34,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.  The provision for the six-month period in 2006 was less than for the three-month period because of a reduction in the allowance for loan losses of $112,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2006.  This reduction was due primarily to an improvement in the credit quality of one significant loan during the quarter.  



Non -Interest Income


Three Months Ended June 30, 2007 vs. 2006.

Non-interest income for the second quarter of 2007 was $3,000 greater than for the same period in 2006.  Trust income was $87,000 greater, largely offset by a $66,000 decrease in service charges and fees.  Trust income increased partially due to executor fees received.  Service charges and fees decreased primarily due to a decrease in non-sufficient fund charges, partially offset by an increase in check card income.  Check card income grew because a greater number of cards were outstanding and because of the increasing popularity of check cards as a retail payment method.   


Six Months Ended June 30, 2007 vs. 2006.

Non-interest income for the first half of 2007 was $4,000 greater than for the same period in 2006.  Trust income increased $41,000 and service charges and fees decreased $54,000, both for substantially the same reasons discussed above.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of

Non-Interest Expense


Three Months Ended June 30, 2007 vs. 2006.

Total non-interest expense increased $154,000 during the second quarter, 2007 as compared to the second quarter, 2006, primarily due to a $33,000 increase in salaries and wages, a $33,000 increase in occupancy expense, and an $80,000 increase in other non-interest expense.  These increases were partially offset by a $23,000 decrease in equipment expenses.  Salaries and wages increased primarily due to additional employees and routine salary and wage increases.  Occupancy expense increased due to rent and real estate taxes for the new Oakwood office.  Equipment expenses decreased due to lower equipment rental and depreciation expenses.


Six Months Ended June 30, 2007 vs. 2006.

Total non-interest expense increased $227,000 during the first half, 2007 as compared to the first half of 2006 primarily due to a $145,000 increase in salaries and wages and a $70,000 increase in occupancy expenses for substantially the same reasons discussed above.  Equipment expenses decreased $37,000 for substantially the same reasons discussed above.



Income Taxes

LCNB’s effective tax rates for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 were 24.4% and 25.2%, respectively.  The difference between the statutory rate of 34.0% and the effective tax rate is primarily due to tax-exempt interest income from municipal securities and tax-exempt earnings from bank owned life insurance.



Financial Condition

The fair value of securities available for sale was $95.6 million at June 30, 2007, approximately $15.5 million less than at December 31, 2006.  The decrease was due to maturities and calls; no securities were sold during the first six months of 2007.  These additional funds, along with a $5.0 million FHLB advance obtained in March, 2007, were primarily used to pay down short-term borrowings.


The term of the $5.0 million FHLB advance is ten years and interest is payable monthly at a fixed rate of 5.25%.


Short-term borrowings at June 30, 2007 were $1.3 million, a $14.1 million decrease from the December 31, 2006  balance of $15.4 million.


Net loans outstanding at June 30, 2007 totaled $392.6 million, approximately $4.3 million greater than at December 31, 2006.  Commercial and industrial loans comprised most of the increase.

LCNB CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES


Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of

Operations (continued)


Average interest-bearing deposits for the first quarter, 2007 were $399.2 million, an $11.3 million decrease from the average balance for the fourth quarter, 2006.  The average balance of interest-bearing deposits for the second quarter increased $3.5 million to $402.7 million.  Most of the decrease in average interest-bearing deposits during the first quarter, 2007 was in NOW and money fund deposits.


The decrease in average deposits was substantially replaced by an $8.2 million increase in average short-term borrowings and a $5.9 million decrease in federal funds sold and interest-bearing demand deposits during the first quarter, 2007, as compared to the fourth quarter, 2006.  


Short-term borrowings, in turn, were paid down late in the first quarter, 2007 from the proceeds of the $5.0 million FHLB advance obtained during March, 2007 and from the proceeds from investment security maturities and calls.  As a result, average investment securities for the second quarter, 2007 were $9.0 million less than for the first quarter, 2007 and average long-term debt for the second quarter, 2007 was $3.9 million greater than for the first quarter, 2007.  Also comparing the second and first quarters of 2007, average short-term borrowings for the second quarter, 2007 decreased $9.7 million to an average balance of $1.1 million and average federal funds sold and interest-bearing demand deposits increased $9.9 million to an average balance of $11.9 million.



Liquidity

LCNB depends on dividends from its subsidiaries for the majority of its liquid assets, including the cash needed to pay dividends to its shareholders.  National banking law limits the amount of dividends Lebanon Citizens may pay to the sum of retained net income, as defined, for the current year plus retained net income for the previous two years.  Prior approval from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, Lebanon Citizens’ primary regulator, would be necessary for Lebanon Citizens to pay dividends in excess of this amount.  In addition, dividend payments may not reduce capital levels below minimum regulatory guidelines.  Management believes Lebanon Citizens will be able to pay anticipated dividends to LCNB without needing to request approval.


Liquidity is the ability to have funds available at all times to meet the commitments of LCNB.  Asset liquidity is provided by cash and assets which are readily marketable or pledgeable or which will mature in the near future. Liquid assets include cash and cash equivalents and securities available for sale.  At June 30, 2007, LCNB’s liquid assets amounted to $114.1 million or 21.1% of total gross assets, a decrease from $126.6 million or 23.1% at December 31, 2006.  Liquid assets decreased, despite a $3.0 million increase in cash and cash equivalents, due to the $15.5 million decrease in securities available for sale.  The decrease in liquidity was used primarily to pay down short-term borrowings.


Liquidity is also provided by access to core funding sources, primarily core depositors in the bank’s market area.  Approximately 79.0% of total deposits at June 30, 2007 were “core” deposits, a decrease from 80.4% at December 31, 2006.  Core deposits, for this purpose, are defined as total deposits less public funds and certificates of deposit greater than $100,000.  Core deposits decreased because of a $5.4 million increase in public fund deposits, while total deposits, including public fund deposits, increased only $1.2 million.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of

Operations (continued)



Secondary sources of liquidity include LCNB’s ability to sell loan participations, borrow funds from the Federal Home Loan Bank, purchase federal funds, or use a line of credit established with another bank.  


Management closely monitors the level of liquid assets available to meet ongoing funding needs.  It is management’s intent to maintain adequate liquidity so that sufficient funds are readily available at a reasonable cost.  LCNB experienced no liquidity or operational problems as a result of the current liquidity levels.



Recent Accounting Pronouncements

SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” was issued by the FASB in September, 2006.  SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  This statement does not require any new fair value measurements, but increases consistency and comparability in the use of fair value measurements and calculations.  This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and for interim periods within those fiscal years.  Management does not anticipate that the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have a material effect on LCNB’s consolidated balance sheet or income statement.


SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities,” was issued by the FASB in February, 2007.  It permits, but does not require, corporations to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value.  The decision to elect the fair value option is made individually for each instrument and is irrevocable once made.  Changes in fair value will be recorded in earnings.  SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007.  Early adoption is permitted.  Management intends to adopt SFAS No. 159 in the year beginning January 1, 2008 and does not anticipate that adoption of this standard will have a material effect on LCNB’s consolidated balance sheet or income statement.

LCNB CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES


Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks


LCNB and the Bank are exposed to interest rate risk.  The banking business consists of investments in interest-earning assets, which are funded by interest-bearing liabilities, both of which have varying levels of sensitivity to changes in rates of interest.  The Bank’s Asset and Liability Management Committee (“ALCO”) meets on a regular basis and attempts to manage this interest rate risk, primarily using a combination of Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis (IRSA) and Economic Value of Equity (EVE) analysis.  


The IRSA model is used to estimate the effect on net interest income during a one-year period of instantaneous and sustained movements in interest rates, also called interest rate shocks, of 100, 200, and 300 basis points.  The base projection uses a current interest rate scenario.  As shown below, the June 30, 2007 IRSA indicates that an increase in interest rates would have a positive effect on net interest income, and a decrease in rates would have a negative effect on net interest income. The changes in net interest income for the up and down 100, 200, and 300 basis point rate assumptions are within LCNB’s acceptable ranges.

IRSA shows the affect on net interest income during a one-year period only.  A more long-range model is the EVE analysis, which shows the estimated present value of future cash inflows from interest-earning assets less the present value of future cash outflows for interest-bearing liabilities for the same rate shocks.  The EVE analysis at June 30, 2007 is shown below.  The changes in the economic value of equity for these rate assumptions are within LCNB’s acceptable ranges.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks (continued)


The IRSA and EVE simulations discussed above are not projections of future income or equity and should not be relied on as being indicative of future operating results.  Assumptions used, including the nature and timing of interest rate levels, yield curve shape, prepayments on loans and securities, deposit decay rates, pricing decisions on loans and deposits, and reinvestment or replacement of asset and liability cash flows, are inherently uncertain and, as a result, the models cannot precisely measure future net interest income or equity.  Furthermore, the models do not reflect actions that borrowers, depositors, and management may take in response to changing economic conditions and interest rate levels.  



Item 4.  Controls and Procedures


a)  Disclosure controls and procedures.  The Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of LCNB's disclosure controls and procedures that ensure that information relating to LCNB required to be disclosed by LCNB in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms.  Based upon this evaluation, these officers have concluded, that as of June 30, 2007, LCNB's disclosure controls and procedures were effective.


b)  Changes in internal control over financial reporting.  During the period covered by this report, there were no changes in LCNB's internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, LCNB's internal control over financial reporting.

Item 2.     Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds


On April 17, 2001, LCNB's Board of Directors authorized three separate stock repurchase programs, two phases of which continue.  The shares purchased will be held for future corporate purposes.


Under the "Market Repurchase Program" LCNB was originally authorized to  purchase up to 200,000 shares of its stock through market transactions with a selected stockbroker.  On November 14, 2005, the Board of Directors extended the Market Repurchase Program by increasing the shares authorized for repurchase to 400,000 total shares.  Through June 30, 2007, 290,440 shares had been purchased under this program.  No shares were purchased during the second quarter, 2007.


The "Private Sale Repurchase Program" is available to shareholders who wish to sell large blocks of stock at one time.  Because LCNB's stock is not widely traded, a shareholder releasing large blocks may not be able to readily sell all shares through normal procedures.  Purchases of blocks will be considered on a case-by-case basis and will be made at prevailing market prices.  There is no limit to the number of shares that may be purchased under this program.  A total of 466,018 shares have been purchased under this program since its inception.  The following table shows information relating to private sale repurchases during the three months ended June 30, 2007:
