LCNB Corp. 2009 Annual Report


CEO’s and President's Letter to Shareholders (page 1 and 2 of Annual Report):


Dear Shareholders:


LCNB’s philosophy of investing in our communities has always been an important part of our history and an important part of being a good corporate citizen. That investment has been in the form of monetary donations, donation of food and clothing, and volunteering manpower. While that commitment to our communities has always been present, it took on a higher priority in 2009. The recession and resulting high unemployment resulted in a greater need for help in our communities. As you will read later in this report, LCNB and all of its employees responded to the challenge.


The theme of last year’s annual report was “Strong – Local – Secure”. We remain a strong and secure financial institution today. The growth momentum we experienced in 2008 continued through 2009. Our assets grew by 13.03% from $650 million to $734 million. Adding the bank’s assets to trust assets of $197 million, mortgage loans serviced of $57 million, business cash management assets of $18 million, and brokerage account assets of $72 million resulted in the corporation managing a total of $1.1 billion of assets for its customers. Specifically, deposits grew 8.06% from $578 million to $624 million. Since consumer confidence continued to be low in 2009, overall loan growth was only 1.35%. But while consumer confidence waned, commercial loan growth was 6.85% growing from $213 million to $228 million in 2009. The net loan totals do not reflect that LCNB originated $28 million in additional 1-4 family residential mortgages that were sold in the secondary mortgage market enabling our customers to take advantage of lower mortgage rates.


Net income available to shareholders was $6.7 million representing a 1.07% return on average assets and a 10.43% return on average shareholder’s equity. Basic earnings per common share were $1.00 in 2009 compared to $.99 in 2008. Total shareholder’s equity on December 31, 2009 was $65.6 million. Our capital remains in the FDIC “well capitalized” designation.


We have the capital, liquidity, earnings, asset quality, and growth to out-perform our industry in both the short and long run.


While many financial institutions reduced or ceased paying a dividend in 2009, LCNB maintained a dividend of $.64 per share. LCNB returned earnings to its shareholders with a dividend payout ratio of 64% in 2009. We cannot control our stock price in these emotional times, or anytime, but we can control our performance. In the long run we believe good performance and strong dividend payout will enhance shareholder value.


Because of the many bank failures in 2009 (140) the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s Designated Reserve Ratio fell below the minimum of 1.15%. Because of this shortfall the FDIC required all insured banks to pay a special assessment. LCNB paid an assessment (based on Total Assets less Tier One Capital) of $325,000 in addition to a higher premium. In total LCNB expensed $1.3 million in FDIC premiums for 2009 compared to $75,000 in 2008. The FDIC then required insured financial institutions to prepay premiums for the next three years on December 30, 2009. That prepayment resulted in LCNB paying over $3.1 million to the FDIC. This prepayment by all insured banks provided the FDIC with over $45 billion in cash to pay for anticipated bank failures. LCNB management still believes that the FDIC deposit guarantee is very important to the stability of our banking system, but the cost of doing business by healthy banks has risen significantly because of the mismanagement of some financial institutions.




Our Board of Directors is made up of individuals that contribute to the success of LCNB. Joseph W. Schwarz is a director who started contributing at the very first board meeting he attended. While Joe has been a director for the last six years, LCNB has grown from a $524 million bank to a $734 million bank. Joe brought his success in his own business and applied it to banking. His guidance and leadership will be missed as he is retiring from the board at this year’s Annual Meeting.


On February 6, 2010 we lost a former director who retired from the board in 2004. Jim Miller served as a member of the Board from 1979 to 2004. Jim was a valuable director and a fine gentleman to everyone who knew him. Jim was highly respected in the Lebanon community and he will be missed.


Uncertainty is the watchword for 2010. The economy is still very weak with high unemployment and low consumer confidence levels. Congress is having trouble passing legislation and bank failures are predicted to remain high. LCNB will continue to do what we have done since 1877, provide safety for our depositors and loan money to those we know in our local communities. The experienced management of LCNB will strive to make 2010 another successful year.


Your Board of Directors, officers, and employees understand that financial market concerns are still present and that the downturn in our economy is severe and unlikely to improve in the near term. Yet, we enter 2010 with high expectations for continued growth and prosperity. The challenges are many but so are the opportunities. We are positioned with financial strength, a great market area, the right products, delivery channels, technology, and most important of all, the people to move successfully into the future.


Additional statistical data and information on our financial performance for 2009 is available in the LCNB Corp. Annual Report on Form 10-K. This report is filed annually with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We have enclosed the Form 10-K with the initial mailing of this report to shareholders and it is available upon request or from the shareholders information section on our website, www.LCNB.com.


The Annual Meeting for LCNB Corp. will be Tuesday, April 20, 2010 at 10:00am at our Main Office located at 2 North Broadway in Lebanon, Ohio. Proxy material is included with this initial mailing. Please review, sign and return the proxy in the envelope provided. We would be pleased to have you attend our annual meeting in person. Thank you for your continued support.
