1 Farmers National Banc Corp. Canfield, OH (NASDAQ: FMNB) Investor PresentationDecember 31, 2011

2 Disclosure Statement Forward-Looking StatementsThis presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements express management's current expectations, forecasts of future events or long-term-goals and, by their nature, are subject to assumptions, risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those indicated. Farmers National Banc Corp. ("Farmers") refers you to its periodic reports and registration statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2011 which have been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and are available on Farmers' website (www.farmersbankgroup.com) and on the Securities and Exchange Commission's website (www.sec.gov), for additional discussion of these assumptions, risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and should not be relied upon as representing management's views as of any subsequent date. Farmers undertakes no obligation to update forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required by law. Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures This presentation contains certain financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). These non-GAAP financial measures include "Core Deposits" and "Pre-tax, Pre- provision Earnings". Farmers believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide both management and investors a more complete understanding of the Company's deposit profile and profitability. These non-GAAP financial measures are supplemental and are not a substitute for any analysis based on GAAP financial measures. Because not all companies use the same calculation of "Core Deposits" and "Pre-tax, Pre-provision Earnings", this presentation may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures as calculated by other companies.
