Farmers National Banc Corp (OTCBB: FMNB), holding company of the Farmers National Bank of Canfield, today reported net earnings of $7.2 million, or $0.55 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2006, as compared to $8.1 million, or $0.62 per diluted share in 2005. For the three months ended December 31, 2006, Farmers National Banc Corp recorded net earnings of $1.6 million, or $0.12 per share, compared to $1.9 million, or $0.14 per share for the same quarter a year ago.

The company’s total assets at year-end 2006 were $821.6 million, as compared to $827.1 million in total assets recorded at December 31, 2005. Net loans at December 31, 2006 were $502.6 million, compared to $506.1 million at this same time last year. On average balances, loans increased approximately $12.4 million, or 2.5% year-over-year. The increase in commercial loans helped offset the lack of any retail or consumer loan growth during the past year. Total deposits at December 31, 2006 were $619.7 million, compared to $630.8 million recorded as of December 31, 2005. This reduction in deposits primarily was the result of management’s conservative approach to pricing highly volatile non-core deposits.

Net Interest Income -— Net interest income was $5.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2006, which compares to $5.9 million in the preceding quarter and $6.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2005. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2006, net interest income was $23.9 million compared to $27.2 million for the same twelve-month period in 2005. The net interest margin, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, was 3.31% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006, compared to 3.67% for 2005. Management was able to increase the yield on average earning assets by 30 basis points during the past twelve months, but that increase was offset by a 76 basis point increase in the cost of liabilities. The net interest margin continues to be impacted by the sustained flat or inverted yield curve between short term and long term rates. The company will continue to closely monitor the asset and liability re-pricing strategy to support the margin.

Non-Interest Income -— Non-interest income, including gains on the sale of securities, was $1.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2006, compared to $1.3 million in the preceding quarter and $1.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2005. For the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2006, non-interest income was $5.1 million, an increase of $748 thousand over the $4.4 million reported in the same period in 2005. The comparison to the prior year is impacted by gains on sale of securities amounting to $550 thousand in 2006 and $290 thousand in 2005.

Operating Expenses -— Non-interest expenses totaled $4.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2006, which compares to $5.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2005 and $5.0 million for the third quarter of 2006. For the year ended December 31, 2006, total operating expenses decreased from $20.2 million in 2005 to $19.6 million in 2006. The company’s efficiency ratio for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006 was 68.88%, as compared to 64.49% in the prior year.

Asset Quality -— At the end of the fourth quarter, the non-performing loans/total loan ratio was .34%, compared to .39% at this same time in 2005. As of December 31, 2006, total non-performing loans were $1.7 million, compared to $2.0 million at this same time in 2005. On December 31, 2006, the ratio of the allowance for loan losses (ALLL) to non-performing loans was 325%, compared to 291% in December 2005. For the full year, the net charge off/average loan ratio was .09%, improving from .19% reported at the end of 2005.

Consistent with generally accepted accounting principles and regulatory guidelines, the company uses a systematic methodology to estimate its allowance for loan losses. The methodology takes into consideration not only charge-offs but also the quality of the company’s loans and the types and amounts of loans comprising the loan portfolio, while considering adjustments and estimates based on various environmental factors. As of December 31, 2006, the ALLL/total loan ratio was 1.10% compared to 1.14% at the end of 2005.

Stockholder’s Equity and Common Stock -— Total Stockholders’ Equity was $76.2 million at December 31, 2006 compared to $75.9 million at this same time in 2005. Book value at year-end 2006 was $5.83 per share, compared to $5.82 per share in December 2005. Cash dividends paid during 2006 amounted to $0.64 per share. On June 13, 2006, the board of directors announced the 2006 Stock Repurchase Program, which authorized the repurchase of up to 4.9% of its outstanding common stock or approximately 650,000 shares. Since June, the Corporation repurchased 145,000 shares under this program.
