DESCRIPTION OF LCNB CORP.'S BUSINESS

General Description

LCNB Corp., an Ohio corporation formed in December, 1998, is a financial holding company headquartered in Lebanon, Ohio.  Substantially all of the assets, liabilities and operations of LCNB Corp. are attributable to its wholly-owned subsidiary, LCNB National Bank (the "Bank").  LCNB Corp. and its subsidiary are herein collectively referred to as “LCNB.”

The predecessor of LCNB Corp., the Bank, was formed as a national banking association in 1877.  On May 19, 1999, the Bank became a wholly-owned subsidiary of LCNB Corp.  The Bank's main office is located in Warren County, Ohio and 24 branch offices are located in Warren, Butler, Clinton, Clermont, Hamilton, and Montgomery Counties, Ohio.  In addition, the Bank operates 31 automated teller machines ("ATMs") in its market area.

On January 11, 2013, LCNB consummated a merger with First Capital Bancshares, Inc. (“First Capital”) in a stock and cash transaction valued at approximately $20.2 million.  Immediately following the merger of First Capital into LCNB, Citizens National Bank (“Citizens”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of First Capital, was merged into LCNB National Bank.  At that time, Citizens’ six full–service offices became offices of LCNB.  Three of these offices are located in Chillicothe, Ohio and one office is located in each of Frankfort, Ohio, Clarksburg, Ohio, and Washington Court House, Ohio.

The Bank is a full service community bank offering a wide range of commercial and personal banking services.  Deposit services include checking accounts, NOW accounts, savings accounts, Christmas and vacation club accounts, money market deposit accounts, Classic 50 accounts (a senior citizen program), individual retirement accounts, and certificates of deposit.  Deposits of the Bank are insured up to applicable limits by the Deposit Insurance Fund, which is administered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”).

- 4 -

Loan products offered include commercial and industrial loans, commercial and residential real estate loans, construction loans, various types of consumer loans, and Small Business Administration loans.  The Bank's residential mortgage lending activities consist primarily of loans for purchasing or refinancing personal residences, home equity lines of credit, and loans for commercial or consumer purposes secured by residential mortgages.  Most fixed-rate residential real estate loans are sold to the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation with servicing retained.  Consumer lending activities include automobile, boat, home improvement and personal loans. The Bank also offers indirect financing through various automotive, boat, and lawn and garden dealers.

The Trust and Investment Management Division of the Bank performs complete trust administrative functions and offers agency and trust services, retirement savings products, and mutual fund investment products to individuals, partnerships, corporations, institutions and municipalities.

Security brokerage services are offered by the Bank through arrangements with LPL Financial LLC, a registered broker/dealer.  Licensed brokers offer a full range of investment services and products, including financial needs analysis, mutual funds, securities trading, annuities, and life insurance.

Other services offered include safe deposit boxes, night depositories, travelers' checks, money orders, cashier's checks, bank-by-mail, ATMs, cash and transaction services, debit cards, wire transfers, electronic funds transfer, utility bill collections, notary public service, personal computer based cash management services, 24 hour telephone banking, PC Internet banking, mobile banking, and other services tailored for both individuals and businesses.

The Bank is not dependent upon any one significant customer or specific industry.  Business is not seasonal to any material degree.

The address of the main office of the Bank is 2 North Broadway, Lebanon, Ohio 45036; telephone (513) 932-1414.

Market Area

LCNB’s primary market area consists of Warren, Butler, and Clinton Counties and portions of Hamilton, Clermont, and Montgomery Counties in Southwestern Ohio.  Certain demographic information for Warren, Butler, Clinton, Hamilton, and Montgomery Counties are as follows:

	Warren			Butler			Clinton			Hamilton			Montgomery

Once primarily a rural county (its population according to the 1950 census was only 38,505), Warren County experienced significant growth during the latter half of the twentieth century and into the twenty-first century.  Many people who now live in Warren County are employed by companies located in the Cincinnati and Dayton metropolitan areas.  People employed within Warren County usually work in the trade, transportation, and utilities sector, the manufacturing sector, the professional and businesses services sector, and the leisure and hospitality sector.  A sizable tourist industry that includes King’s Island and the Ohio Renaissance Festival provides a number of temporary summer jobs.  Not including local government entities and school districts, which are significant sources of employment, the top five major employers in Warren County are Macy’s Credit and Customer Service, Procter and Gamble’s Mason Business Center, Atrium Medical Center (a hospital), WellPoint (health insurance), and Luxottica.

Butler County was historically a rural area with the exception of three urban centers.  Hamilton and Middletown were both manufacturing centers.  As is true with many manufacturing communities in the Midwest, many of the manufacturing companies in Hamilton and Middletown have either closed or greatly diminished their workforces and these jobs have been largely replaced with lower-paying service oriented jobs.   Oxford is the home of Miami University and Oxford’s businesses primarily serve the college students.

Most of the growth in Butler County has occurred in West Chester, Liberty, and Fairfield Townships.  Many of the people living in these townships are employed by companies located in the Cincinnati metropolitan area.  People employed within Butler County usually work in the trade, transportation, and utilities sectors,  the manufacturing sector, the education and health services sectors, the professional and business services sectors, and the leisure and hospitality sector.  Not including local government entities and school districts, the top five major employers in Butler County are Miami University, AK Steel, Cincinnati Financial Corp. (insurance), GE Aviation, and Fort Hamilton Hospital.  In addition to Fort Hamilton Hospital, Mercy Hospital Fairfield, McCullough-Hyde Memorial Hospital, West Chester Hospital, and Bethesda Butler County TriHealth Hospital are located in Butler County and collectively are a significant source of health-related employment.

Clinton County remains mostly rural.  Wilmington, with a 2010 census population of 12,520, is the largest city.  The next largest is Blanchester, with a 2010 census population of 4,243.  The unemployment rates at December 2010, 2011, and 2012 are unusually high, even for the current economy, because of the loss of a dominant employer.  DHL, an overnight shipping company, owned the Wilmington Air Park, a decommissioned air force base, and maintained hub operations at this location.  In 2008, Wilmington Air Park discontinued operations, resulting in the direct loss of approximately 8,000 jobs, not including job losses sustained by other businesses dependent on the air park operations.  Certain services subcontracted to ABX Air and ASTAR Air Cargo continue, but with greatly diminished work forces.

Hamilton County’s economics are dominated by Cincinnati.  Fortune 500 companies with their headquarters in Hamilton County include American Financial Group, Federated Department Stores, Fifth Third Bank, The Kroger Company, The Procter & Gamble Company, and Western & Southern Financial Group.  The five largest employers are The Kroger Company, The University of Cincinnati, The Procter & Gamble Company, Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, and the Health Alliance of Greater Cincinnati.

LCNB’s two offices in Montgomery County are located in the communities of Oakwood and Centerville.  Similar to Cincinnati and Hamilton County, Dayton is the largest city in Montgomery County and dominates the economic demographics of the county.  The largest employer of Montgomery County residents is Wright Patterson Air Force Base, which is actually located in Greene County.   Large employers located in Montgomery County include Premier Health Partners, Kettering Health Network, LexisNexis, and Honda of America.

- 6 -

LCNB’s market area includes a portion of Clermont County primarily because of a branch office located in Goshen, Ohio.  Goshen is a suburb of Cincinnati and many of its residents work in Hamilton County.  Goshen’s economic demographics are similar to Hamilton County’s demographics.

Competition

The Bank faces strong competition both in making loans and attracting deposits.  The deregulation of the banking industry and the wide spread enactment of state laws that permit multi-bank holding companies as well as the availability of nationwide interstate banking has created a highly competitive environment for financial services providers. The Bank competes with other national and state banks, savings and loan associations, credit unions, finance companies, mortgage brokerage firms, realty companies with captive mortgage brokerage firms, mutual funds, insurance companies, brokerage and investment banking companies, and other financial intermediaries operating in its market and elsewhere, many of whom have substantially larger financial and managerial resources.

The Bank seeks to minimize the competitive effect of other financial institutions through a community banking approach that emphasizes direct customer access to the Bank's President and other officers in an environment conducive to friendly, informed, and courteous personal services.  Management believes that the Bank is well positioned to compete successfully in its primary market area.  Competition among financial institutions is based upon interest rates offered on deposit accounts, interest rates charged on loans and other credit and service charges, the quality and scope of the services rendered, the convenience of the banking facilities, and, in the case of loans to commercial borrowers, relative lending limits.

Management believes the commitment of the Bank to personal service, innovation, and involvement in the communities and primary market areas it serves, as well as its commitment to quality community banking service, are factors that contribute to its competitive advantage.

Supervision and Regulation

LCNB Corp., as a financial holding company, is regulated under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the "Act"), and is subject to the supervision and examination of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve Board").  The Act requires the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board for a bank or financial holding company to acquire or hold more than a 5% voting interest in any bank and restricts interstate banking activities.

On September 29, 1994, the Act was amended by the Interstate Banking and Branch Efficiency Act of 1994, which authorizes interstate bank acquisitions anywhere in the country, effective one year after the date of enactment, and interstate branching by acquisition and consolidation, effective June 1, 1997, in those states that have not opted out by that date.

The Bank is subject to the provisions of the National Bank Act.  The Bank is subject to primary supervision, regulation and examination by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the "OCC"). The Bank is also subject to the rules and regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the FDIC.  Under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and under Regulations of the Federal Reserve Board pursuant thereto, a bank or financial holding company and its subsidiaries are prohibited from engaging in certain tie-in arrangements in connection with the extension of credit.

- 7 -

LCNB Corp. and the Bank are subject to an extensive array of banking laws and regulations that are intended primarily for the protection of the customers and depositors of LCNB's subsidiary.  These laws and regulations govern such areas as permissible activities, loans and investments, and rates of interest that can be charged on loans and reserves.  LCNB and the Bank also are subject to general U.S. federal laws and regulations and to the laws and regulations of the State of Ohio.  Set forth below are brief descriptions of selected laws and regulations applicable to LCNB and the Bank.

The Financial Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989 ("FIRREA") provides that a holding company and its controlled insured depository institutions are liable for any loss incurred by the FDIC in connection with the default of any FDIC assisted transaction involving an affiliated insured bank or savings association.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA") substantially revised the bank regulatory and funding provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and several other federal banking statutes.  Among its many reforms, FDICIA, as amended:

1. Required regulatory agencies to take "prompt corrective action" with financial  institutions that do not meet minimum capital requirements;

2. Established five capital tiers:  well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized;

3. Imposed significant restrictions on the operations of a financial institution that is not rated well-capitalized or adequately capitalized;

4. Prohibited a depository institution from making any capital distributions, including payments of dividends or paying any management fee to its holding company, if the institution would be undercapitalized as a result;

5. Implemented a risk-based premium system;

6. Required an audit committee to be comprised of outside directors;

7. Required a financial institution with more than $1 billion in total assets to issue annual, audited financial statements prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles; and

8. Required a financial institution with more than $1 billion in total assets to document, evaluate, and report on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control system and required an independent public accountant to attest to management's assertions concerning the bank's internal control system.

The members of an audit committee for banks with more than $1 billion in total assets must be independent of management.  Only a majority, rather than all, of the members of an audit committee for banks with total assets between $500 million and $1 billion must be independent.  Financial institutions that are public companies, such as LCNB, are not relieved from their SOX internal control reporting and attestation requirements or their audit committee independence requirements by the provisions of FDICIA.

At December 31, 2012, the Bank was well capitalized based on FDICIA's guidelines.

- 8 -

The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, which amended the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 and other banking related laws, was signed into law on November 12, 1999.  The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act repealed certain sections of the Glass-Steagall Act and substantially eliminated the barriers separating the banking, insurance, and securities industries.  Effective March 11, 2000, qualifying bank holding companies could elect to become financial holding companies.  Financial holding companies have expanded investment powers, including affiliating with securities and insurance firms and engaging in other activities that are "financial in nature or incidental to such financial activity" or "complementary to a financial activity."  The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act defines "financial in nature" to include:

1. securities underwriting, dealing, and market making;

2. sponsoring mutual funds and investment companies;

3. insurance underwriting and agency;

4. merchant banking activities; and

5. other activities that the Federal Reserve Board, in consultation with and subject to the approval of the U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury Department”), determines are financial in nature.

Financial holding companies may commence the activities listed above or acquire a company engaged in any of those activities without additional approval from the Federal Reserve.  Notice of the commencement or acquisition must be provided to the Federal Reserve within thirty days of the start of the activity.   Sixty days advance notice is required before the start of any activity that is "complementary to a financial activity."

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 ("SOX") became effective on July 30, 2002.  The purpose of SOX is to strengthen accounting oversight and corporate accountability by enhancing disclosure requirements, increasing accounting and auditor regulation, creating new federal crimes, and increasing penalties for existing federal crimes.  SOX directly impacts publicly traded companies, certified public accounting firms auditing public companies, attorneys who work for public companies or have public companies as clients, brokerage firms, investment bankers, and financial analysts who work for brokerage firms or investment bankers.  Key provisions affecting LCNB include:

1. Certification of financial reports by the chief executive officer ("CEO") and the chief financial officer ("CFO"), who are responsible for designing and monitoring internal controls to ensure that material information relating to the issuer and its consolidated subsidiaries is made known to the certifying officers by others within the company;

2. Inclusion of an internal control report in annual reports that include management's assessment of the effectiveness of a company's internal control over financial reporting and a report by the company's independent registered public accounting firm attesting to the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting;

3. Accelerated reporting of stock trades on Form 4 by directors and executive officers;

4. Disgorgement requirements of incentive pay or stock-based compensation profits received within twelve months of the release of financial statements if the company is later required to restate those financial statements due to material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement that resulted from misconduct;

5. Disclosure in a company's periodic reports stating if it has adopted a code of ethics for its CFO and principal accounting officer or controller and, if such code of ethics has been implemented,  immediate disclosure of any change in or waiver of the code of ethics;

- 9 -

6. Disclosure in a company's periodic reports stating if at least one member of the audit committee is a "financial expert," as that term is defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"); and

7. Implementation of new duties and responsibilities for a company's audit committee, including independence requirements, the direct responsibility to appoint the outside auditing firm and to provide oversight of the auditing firm's work, and a requirement to establish procedures for the receipt, retention, and treatment of complaints from a company's employees regarding questionable accounting, internal control, or auditing matters.

In addition, the SEC adopted final rules on September 5, 2002, which rules were amended in December, 2005, requiring accelerated filing of quarterly and annual reports.  Under the amended rules, “large accelerated filers” includes companies with a market capitalization of $700 million or more and “accelerated filers” includes companies with a market capitalization between $75 million and $700 million. Large accelerated filers are required to file their annual reports within 60 days of year-end and quarterly reports within 40 days. Accelerated filers are required to file their annual and quarterly reports within 75 days and 40 days, respectively.  These new accelerated filing deadlines were effective for fiscal years ending on or after December 15, 2005.  Under the amended rules, LCNB is considered an accelerated filer.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Reform Act of 2005 and the Federal Deposit Insurance Reform Conforming Amendments Act of 2005 (collectively, the “Deposit Insurance Reform Acts”) were both signed into law during February, 2006.  The provisions of the Deposit Insurance Reform Acts included:

1. Merging the Bank Insurance Fund and the Savings Association Insurance Fund into a new fund called the Deposit Insurance Fund, effective March 31, 2006;

2. Increasing insurance coverage for retirement accounts from $100,000 to $250,000, effective April 1, 2006;

3. Adjusting deposit insurance levels of $100,000 for non-retirement accounts and $250,000 for retirement accounts every five years based on an inflation index;

4. Eliminating a 1.25% hard target Designated Reserve Ratio, as defined, and giving the FDIC discretion to set the Designated Reserve Ratio within a range of 1.15% to 1.50% for any given year;

5. Eliminating certain restrictions on premium rates the FDIC charges covered institutions and establishing a risk-based premium system; and

6. Providing for a one-time credit for institutions that paid premiums to the Bank Insurance Fund or the Savings Association Insurance Fund prior to December 31, 1996.

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) became effective on July 21, 2010.  The Dodd-Frank Act includes provisions that specifically affect financial institutions and other entities providing financial services and other corporate governance and compensation provisions that will affect most public companies.

- 10 -

The Dodd-Frank Act established a new independent regulatory body within the Federal Reserve System known as the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (the “Bureau”).  The Bureau has assumed responsibility for most consumer protection laws and has broad authority, with certain exceptions, to regulate financial products offered by banks and non-banks.  The Bureau has authority to supervise, examine, and take enforcement actions with respect to depository institutions with more than $10 billion in assets, non-bank mortgage industry participants, and other Bureau-designated non-bank providers of consumer financial services.  The primary regulator for depository institutions with $10 billion or less in assets will continue to have primary examination and enforcement authority for these institutions.  The regulations enforced, however, will be the regulations written by the Bureau.

The Dodd-Frank Act directs federal bank regulators to develop new capital requirements for holding companies and depository institutions that address activities that pose risk to the financial system, such as significant activities in higher risk areas, or concentrations in assets whose reported values are based on models.

The Dodd-Frank Act permanently raised the FDIC maximum deposit insurance amount to $250,000.  In addition, the Dodd-Frank Act places a floor on the FDIC’s reserve ratio at 1.35% of estimated insured deposits or the comparable percentage of the assessment base.

The Dodd-Frank Act provided for temporary unlimited deposit insurance for non-interest bearing transaction accounts.  With several important differences, the unlimited coverage was similar to coverage provided by the FDIC’s Transaction Account Guarantee Program (the “TAGP”), which expired December 31, 2010, as extended.  The Dodd-Frank Act coverage was in effect from January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2012.  All insured institutions had unlimited coverage for non-interest bearing transactions under Dodd-Frank; financial institutions could opt-out of the TAGP.  Only non-interest bearing transaction accounts and accounts commonly known as Interest on Lawyers Trust Accounts (“IOLTAs”) were covered under the Dodd-Frank provisions.  Under TAGP, low-interest NOW accounts were included.

On November 9, 2010, the FDIC issued a final rule implementing Section 343 of the Dodd-Frank Act providing for unlimited insurance coverage of noninterest-bearing transaction accounts and Interest on Lawyers Trust Accounts beginning on December 31, 2010 and ending on December 31, 2012.  The extended coverage was available to all depositors including consumer, businesses, and government entities.  Money market deposit accounts and NOW accounts were not eligible for the unlimited coverage, even if no interest was paid on the accounts.

General corporate governance provisions included in the Dodd-Frank Act include expanding executive compensation disclosures to be included in the annual proxy statement, requiring non-binding shareholder advisory votes on executive compensation at annual meetings, enhancing independence requirements for compensation committee members and any advisors used by the compensation committee, and requiring the adoption of certain compensation policies including the recovery of executive compensation in the event of a financial statement restatement.

LCNB and the Bank are also subject to the state banking laws of Ohio.  Ohio adopted nationwide reciprocal interstate banking effective October, 1988.

Noncompliance with laws and regulations by bank holding companies and banks can lead to monetary penalties and/or an increased level of supervision or a combination of these two items.  Management is not aware of any current significant instances of noncompliance with laws and regulations and does not anticipate any problems maintaining compliance on a prospective basis.  Recent regulatory inspections and examinations of LCNB and the Bank have not disclosed any significant instances of noncompliance.

- 11 -

The earnings and growth of LCNB are affected not only by general economic conditions, but also by the fiscal and monetary policies of the federal government and its agencies, particularly the Federal Reserve Board.  Its policies influence the amount of bank loans and deposits and the interest rates charged and paid thereon and thus have an effect on earnings.  The nature of future monetary policies and the effect of such policies on the future business and earnings of LCNB and the Bank cannot be predicted.

A substantial portion of LCNB's cash revenues is derived from dividends paid by the Bank.  These dividends are subject to various legal and regulatory restrictions.  Generally, dividends are limited to the aggregate of current year retained net income, as defined, plus the retained net income of the two prior years.  In addition, dividend payments may not reduce capital levels below minimum regulatory guidelines.

Employees

As of December 31, 2012, LCNB employed 217 full-time equivalent employees. LCNB is not a party to any collective bargaining agreement.  Management considers its relationship with its employees to be very good.  Employee benefit programs are considered by management to be competitive with benefit programs provided by other financial institutions and major employers within LCNB’s market area.

Divestitures

In March 2011, LCNB Corp. sold Dakin Insurance Agency Inc. (“Dakin”) to an independent insurance agency and therefore its financial results are reported in the income statements as income from discontinued operations, net of tax.

Loan Portfolio

Administration of the lending function is the responsibility of the Chief Lending Officer and certain senior lenders. Such lenders perform their lending duties subject to oversight and policy direction from the Board of Directors and the Loan Committee. The Loan Committee consists of LCNB’s Chief Executive Officer, President, Chief Financial Officer, Cashier, Chief Lending Officer, Chief Credit Officer, Loan Operations Officer, Loan Review Officer, Credit Analysis Officer, and the officers in charge of commercial, consumer, and real estate loans.

Employees authorized to accept loan applications have various, designated lending limits for the approval of loans.  A loan application for an amount outside a particular employee’s lending limit needs to be approved by an employee with a lending limit sufficient for that loan.  Residential and commercial real estate loans of any amount require the approval of two of the following designated officers:  Chief Executive Officer, President, Chief Lending Officer, Chief Credit Officer, and the officers in charge of commercial and consumer lending.  Any loan in excess of $2.0 million needs the approval of the Board of Directors.

Interest rates charged by LCNB vary with degree of risk, type of loan, amount, complexity, repricing frequency and other relevant factors associated with the loan.

Commercial and Industrial Loans. LCNB’s commercial and industrial loan portfolio consists of loans for various purposes, including loans to fund working capital requirements (such as inventory and receivables financing) and purchases of machinery and equipment.  LCNB offers a variety of commercial and industrial loan arrangements, including term loans, balloon loans, and line of credit.  Most commercial and industrial loans have a variable rate, with adjustments occurring monthly, annually, every three years, or every five years.  Adjustments are generally based on a publicly available index rate plus a margin.  The margin varies based on the terms and collateral securing the loan.  Commercial and industrial loans are offered to businesses and professionals for short and medium terms on both a collateralized and uncollateralized basis. Commercial and industrial loans typically are underwritten on the basis of the borrower’s ability to make repayment from the cash flow of the business.  Collateral, when obtained, may include liens on furniture, fixtures, equipment, inventory, receivables, or other assets.  As a result, such loans involve complexities, variables, and risks that require thorough underwriting and more robust servicing than other types of loans.

Commercial, Secured by Real Estate Loans.  Commercial real estate loans include loans secured by a variety of commercial, retail, and office buildings, religious facilities, multifamily (more than two-family) residential properties, construction and land development loans, and other land loans. Commercial real estate loan products generally amortize over five to twenty-five years and are payable in monthly principal and interest installments.  Some have balloon payments due within one to ten years after the origination date.  Many have adjustable interest rates with adjustment periods ranging from one to ten years, some of which are subject to established “floor” and “ceiling” interest rates.

Commercial real estate loans are underwritten based on the ability of the property, in the case of income producing property, or the borrower’s business to generate sufficient cash flow to amortize the debt. Secondary emphasis is placed upon collateral value, financial ability of any guarantors, and other factors. Commercial real estate loans are generally originated with a 75 percent maximum loan to appraised value ratio.

Residential Real Estate Loans.  Residential real estate loans include loans secured by first or second mortgage liens on one-to-two family residential property.  Home equity lines of credit and mortgage loans secured by owner-occupied agricultural property are included in this category.  First and second mortgage loans are generally amortized over five to thirty years with monthly principal and interest payments.  Home equity lines of credit generally have a five year draw period with interest only payments followed by a repayment period with monthly payments based on the amount outstanding.  LCNB offers both fixed and adjustable rate mortgage loans.  Adjustable rate loans are available with adjustment periods ranging between one to ten years and adjust according to an established index plus a margin, subject to certain floor and ceiling rates.  Home equity lines of credit have a variable rate based on Wall Street Journal prime rate plus a margin.

LCNB does not originate reverse mortgage loans or residential real estate loans generally considered to be “subprime.”

Residential real estate loans are underwritten primarily based on the borrower’s ability to repay, prior credit history, and the value of the collateral.  LCNB requires private mortgage insurance for first mortgage loans that have a loan to appraised value ratio of greater than 80%.

- 17 -

Consumer Loans.  LCNB’s portfolio of consumer loans generally includes secured and unsecured loans to individuals for household, family and other personal expenditures.  Secured loans include loans to fund the purchase of automobiles, recreational vehicles, boats, and similar acquisitions. Consumer loans made by LCNB generally have fixed rates and terms ranging up to 72 months, depending upon the nature of the collateral, size of the loan, and other relevant factors.

Consumer loans generally have higher interest rates, but pose additional risks of collectability and loss when compared to certain other types of loans. Collateral, if present, is generally subject to damage, wear, and depreciation.  The borrower’s ability to repay is of primary importance in the underwriting of consumer loans.

Agricultural Loans.  LCNB’s portfolio of agricultural loans includes loans for financing agricultural production or for financing the purchase of equipment used in the production of agricultural products.  LCNB’s agricultural loans are generally secured by farm machinery, livestock, crops, vehicles, or other agri-related collateral.

As of December 31, 2012, there were no concentrations of loans exceeding 10% of total loans that are not already disclosed as a category of loans in the above table.

LCNB is not committed to lend additional funds to debtors whose loans have been modified to provide a reduction or deferral of principal or interest because of deterioration in the financial position of the borrower.

At December 31, 2012, there were no material additional loans not already disclosed as non-accrual, accruing restructured, or accruing past due 90 days or more where known information about possible credit problems of the borrowers causes management to have serious doubts as to the ability of such borrowers to comply with present loan repayment terms.

Item 1A.  Risk Factors

There are risks inherent in LCNB’s operations, many beyond management’s control, which may adversely affect its financial condition and results from operations and should be considered in evaluating the company. Credit, market, operational, liquidity, interest rate and other risks are described elsewhere in this report. Other risk factors may include the items described below.

New capital requirements could adversely affect LCNB’s capital ratios

The Dodd-Frank Act directs federal bank regulators to develop new capital requirements for holding companies and depository institutions that address activities that pose risk to the financial system, such as significant activities in higher-risk areas, or concentrations in assets whose reported values are based on models.

During June 2012, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation issued three proposed rules that would significantly revise current regulatory capital requirements for financial institutions.  Among other items, the proposals, if adopted, would:

· Introduce a new requirement that common equity Tier 1 capital be at least 4.5% of risk-weighted assets;

· Increase the minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets from 4% to 6%;

· Introduce a new requirement to maintain a capital conservation buffer in excess of other minimum risk-based capital ratios of at least 2.5% of risk-weighted assets;

· Revise capital definitions and risk-weighting categories for various assets; and

· Revise the prompt corrective action framework by increasing category thresholds to reflect the new requirements.

Financial institutions not meeting the 2.5% capital conservation buffer would be subject to limits on capital distributions, including dividend payments to shareholders and treasury share purchases, and would also be limited in awarding certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers.

If issued as proposed, the new requirements would have phased in starting in 2013 with full implementation in 2019.  During November 2012, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System,   the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation announced that, in light of the volume of comments received and the wide range of views expressed during the comment period, the three agencies did not expect that any of the proposed rules would become effective on January 1, 2013.  The exact nature of the final requirements, the timing of implementation, or their impact on LCNB cannot be predicted at this time.

LCNB’s financial results may be adversely affected by current economic conditions and resulting government legislation.

The United States economy was in an economic recession during much of 2008 and 2009, which reduced business activity across a wide range of industries and regions.  Economic conditions have slowly improved since then, but many government entities and businesses are still experiencing financial difficulties and unemployment remains at historically elevated levels.  A direct consequence has been increased loan delinquencies and charge-offs.

- 22 -

In response, the United States government has established and may continue to establish a variety of new programs and policies designed to mitigate the effects of the recession, stimulate the economy, and reduce the likelihood of future downturns.    The nature of future laws and regulations and their effect on LCNB’s operations cannot be predicted.

LCNB’s earnings are significantly affected by market interest rates.

Fluctuations in interest rates may negatively impact LCNB’s profitability.  A primary source of income from operations is net interest income, which is equal to the difference between interest income earned on loans and investment securities and the interest paid for deposits and other borrowings. These rates are highly sensitive to many factors beyond LCNB’s control, including general economic conditions, the slope of the yield curve (that is, the relationship between short and long-term interest rates), and the monetary and fiscal policies of the United States Federal government.  LCNB expects the current level of interest rates and the current slope of the yield curve will cause further downward pressure on its net interest margin.

Increases in general interest rates could have a negative impact on LCNB’s results of operations by reducing the ability of borrowers to repay their current loan obligations.  Some residential real estate mortgage loans, most home equity line of credit loans, and many of LCNB’s commercial loans have adjustable rates.  Borrower inability to make scheduled loan payments due to a higher loan cost could result in increased loan defaults, foreclosures, and write-offs and may necessitate additions to the allowance for loan losses.  In addition, increases in the general level of interest rates may decrease the demand for new consumer and commercial loans, thus limiting LCNB’s growth and profitability.  A general increase in interest rates may also result in deposit disintermediation, which is the flow of deposits away from banks and other depository institutions into direct investments that have the potential for higher rates of return, such as stocks, bonds, and mutual funds.   If this occurs, LCNB may have to rely more heavily on borrowings as a source of funds in the future, which could negatively impact its net interest margin.

Gains from sales of mortgage loans may experience significant volatility.

Gains from sales of mortgage loans are highly influenced by the level and direction of mortgage interest rates, real estate activity, and refinancing activity.  Current historically low market interest rates created a refinancing demand for residential fixed-rate mortgage loans.  The increased volume of refinancing activity increased gains from sales of mortgage loans as LCNB sold most of these loans to the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation.  An increase in market interest rates may decrease the demand for refinanced loans and decrease the gains from sales of mortgage loans recognized in LCNB’s consolidated statements of income.  Gains from sales of mortgage loans may also be impacted by changes in LCNB’s strategy to manage its residential mortgage portfolio. For example, LCNB may occasionally change the proportion of loan originations that are sold in the secondary market and instead add a greater proportion to its loan portfolio.

Increasing regulation of interchange reimbursement fees may affect LCNB’s earnings.

The Federal Reserve enacted a rule, effective October 1, 2011, setting the maximum interchange fee an electronic debit card issuer with more than $10 billion in assets may receive at the sum of 21 cents per transaction plus five basis points multiplied by the value of the transaction.  The Federal Reserve also issued a rule that allows for an upward adjustment of at most one cent to an issuer’s debit card interchange fee if the issuer develops and implements policies and procedures to achieve the fraud prevention standards detailed in the interim final rule.  Although institutions with less than $10 billion in assets, including LCNB, are exempt from the new rules, many within the financial institutions industry believe that smaller institutions will need to match the pricing of those institutions with assets greater than $10 billion or lose business to the larger institutions.

- 23 -

Banking competition in Southwestern Ohio is intense.

LCNB faces strong competition for deposits, loans, trust accounts, and other services from other banks, savings banks, credit unions, mortgage brokers, and other financial institutions.  Many of LCNB’s competitors include major financial institutions that have been in business for many years and have established customer bases, numerous branches, and substantially higher regulatory lending limits. Competitors in the Southwestern Ohio area include U.S. Bank, PNC Bank, Fifth Third Bank, Chase, KeyBank, Park National Bank, Huntington National Bank, and First Financial Bank. In addition, credit unions are growing larger due to more flexible membership requirement regulations and are offering more financial services than they legally could in the past.

LCNB also competes with numerous real estate brokerage firms, some owned by realty companies, for residential real estate mortgage loans.  Incentives offered by captive finance companies owned by the major automobile companies, primarily Ally Bank (formerly General Motors Acceptance Corporation) and Ford Motor Credit Company,  have limited the banking industry’s opportunities for growth in the new automobile loan market.  The banking industry now competes with brokerage firms and mutual fund companies for funds that would have historically been held as bank deposits.  Technology has lowered barriers to entry and made it possible for non-banks to offer products and services traditionally provided by banks, such as automatic transfer and automatic payment systems.  Many of these competitors have fewer regulatory constraints and may have lower cost structures.

If LCNB is unable to attract and retain loan, deposit, brokerage, and trust customers, its growth and profitability levels may be negatively impacted.

Economic conditions in Southwestern Ohio could adversely affect LCNB’s financial condition and results of operations.

LCNB has 31 offices located in Warren, Butler, Clinton, Clermont, Hamilton, Fayette, Ross, and Montgomery Counties in Southern Ohio.  As a result of this geographic concentration, LCNB’s results are heavily influenced by economic conditions in this area. A further deterioration in economic conditions or a natural or manmade disaster in Southwestern Ohio or Ohio in general could have a material adverse impact on the ability of borrowers to make scheduled loan payments, the fair value of underlying loan collateral, the ability of depositors to maintain or add to deposit balances, the demand for trust and brokerage services, and the demand for other products and services offered by LCNB.

The allowance for loan losses may be inadequate.

The provision for loan losses is determined by management based upon its evaluation of the amount needed to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level considered appropriate in relation to the estimated 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, the fair value of any underlying collateral, borrowers’ cash flows, and current economic conditions that may affect borrowers’ ability to make payments.  Increases in the allowance result in an expense for the period.   By its nature, the evaluation is imprecise and requires significant judgment.  Actual results may vary significantly from management’s assumptions.  If, as a result of general economic conditions or a decrease in asset quality, management determines that additional increases in the allowance for loan losses are necessary, LCNB will incur additional expenses.

- 24 -

LCNB’s loan portfolio includes a substantial amount of commercial and industrial loans and commercial real estate loans, which may have more risks than residential or consumer loans.

LCNB’s commercial and industrial and commercial real estate loans comprise a substantial portion of its total loan portfolio. These loans generally carry larger loan balances and involve a greater degree of financial and credit risk than home equity, residential mortgage, or consumer loans. The increased financial and credit risk associated with these types of loans is a result of several factors, including the concentration of principal in a limited number of loans, the size of loan balances, the effects of general economic conditions on income-producing properties, and the increased difficulty of evaluating and monitoring these types of loans.

The repayment of loans secured by commercial real estate is often dependent upon the successful operation, development, or sale of the related real estate or commercial business and may, therefore, be subject to adverse conditions in the real estate market or economy. If the cash flow from operations is reduced, the borrower’s ability to repay the loan may be impaired. In such cases, LCNB may take one or more actions to protect its financial interest in the loan.  Such actions may include foreclosure on the real estate securing the loan, taking possession of other collateral that may have been pledged as security for the loan, or modifying the terms of the loan.  If foreclosed on, commercial real estate is often unique and may not be as salable as a residential home.

The fair value of LCNB’s investments could decline.

Most of LCNB’s investment securities portfolio is designated as available-for-sale.  Accordingly, unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, in the estimated fair value of the available-for-sale portfolio is recorded as other comprehensive income, a separate component of shareholders’ equity. The fair value of LCNB’s investment portfolio may decline, causing a corresponding decline in shareholders’ equity.  Management believes that several factors will affect the fair values of the investment portfolio including, but not limited to, changes in interest rates or expectations of changes, the degree of volatility in the securities markets, inflation rates or expectations of inflation, and the slope of the interest rate yield curve. These and other factors may impact specific categories of the portfolio differently and the effect any of these factors may have on any specific category of the portfolio cannot be predicted.

Approximately 38% of LCNB’s investment securities portfolio at December 31, 2012 was composed of municipal securities.  Many state and local governmental authorities have experienced deterioration of financial condition in recent years due to declining tax revenues, increased demand for services, and various other factors. To the extent LCNB has any municipal securities in its portfolio from issuers who are experiencing deterioration of financial condition or who may experience future deterioration of financial condition, the value of such securities may decline and could result in other-than-temporary impairment charges, which could have an adverse effect on LCNB’s financial condition and results of operations.  Additionally, a general, industry-wide decline in the fair value of municipal securities could significantly affect LCNB’s financial condition and results of operations.

Changes in income tax laws or interpretations or in accounting standards could materially affect LCNB’s financial condition or results of operations.

Changes in income tax laws could be enacted, or interpretations of existing income tax laws could change, causing an adverse effect to LCNB’s financial condition or results of operations. Similarly, new accounting standards may be issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) or existing standards revised, changing the methods for preparing financial statements. These changes are not within LCNB’s control and may significantly impact its reported financial condition and results of operations.  FASB is currently working on various projects, including accounting for impaired financial instruments and accounting for leases.

LCNB is subject to environmental liability risk associated with lending activities.

A significant portion of the Bank’s loan portfolio is secured by real property. During the ordinary course of business, the Bank may foreclose on and take title to properties securing certain loans. In doing so, there is a risk that hazardous or toxic substances could be found on these properties. If hazardous or toxic substances are found, the Bank may be liable for remediation costs, as well as for personal injury and property damage. Environmental laws may require the Bank to incur substantial expenses and may materially reduce the affected property’s value or limit the Bank’s ability to use or sell the affected property. In addition, future laws or more stringent interpretations or enforcement policies with respect to existing laws may increase the Bank’s exposure to environmental liability. Although the Bank has policies and procedures to perform an environmental review before initiating any foreclosure action on real property, these reviews may not be sufficient to detect all potential environmental hazards. The remediation costs and any other financial liabilities associated with an environmental hazard could have a material adverse effect on LCNB’s financial condition and results of operations.

The banking industry is highly regulated.

LCNB is subject to regulation, supervision, and examination by the Federal Reserve Board and the Bank is subject to regulation, supervision, and examination by the OCC.   LCNB and the Bank are also subject to regulation and examination by the FDIC as the deposit insurer.  The Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection is responsible for most consumer protection laws and has broad authority, with certain exceptions, to regulate financial products offered by banks.  Federal and state laws and regulations govern numerous matters including, but not limited to, changes in the ownership or control of banks, maintenance of adequate capital, permissible business operations, maintenance of deposit insurance, protection of customer financial privacy, the level of reserves held against deposits, restrictions on dividend payments, the making of loans, and the acceptance of deposits.  See the previous section titled “Supervision and Regulation” for more information on this subject.

Federal regulators may initiate various enforcement actions against a financial institution that violates laws or regulations or that operates in an unsafe or unsound manner.  These enforcement actions may include, but are not limited to, the assessment of civil money penalties, the issuance of cease-and-desist or removal orders, and the imposition of written agreements.

Proposals to change the laws governing financial institutions are periodically introduced in Congress and proposals to change regulations are periodically considered by the regulatory bodies.  Such future legislation and/or changes in regulations could increase or decrease the cost of doing business, limit or expand permissible activities, or affect the competitive balance among banks, savings associations, credit unions, and other financial institutions.  The likelihood of any major changes in the future and their effects are impossible to determine.

FDIC deposit insurance assessments may materially increase in the future.

Bank and thrift failures during 2009 and 2008 coupled with deteriorating economic conditions significantly decreased the deposit insurance fund’s reserve ratio.  The FDIC developed and implemented a restoration plan that included a special assessment on all member financial institutions in early 2009, followed by a required prepayment in December 2009 of premiums relating to the period for 2010 through 2012.  The FDIC implemented a new assessment base during 2011 that uses total assets and tier one capital as opposed to deposits.  LCNB’s premiums decreased under the new assessment base, but the likelihood of future rate increases and the imposition of additional special assessments are indeterminable.

- 26 -

The FDIC may borrow up to $100 billion from the U.S. Treasury.  Although no borrowings were outstanding at December 31, 2012, LCNB cannot predict if the FDIC will borrow funds in the future.  The source for repaying any future borrowings will be the premiums paid by financial institutions, which may necessitate additional rate increases or special assessments.

Future growth and expansion opportunities may contain risks.

From time to time LCNB may seek to acquire other financial institutions or parts of those institutions or may engage in de novo branch expansion.  It may also consider and enter into new lines of business or offer new products or services.  Such activities involve a number of risks, which may include potential inaccuracies in estimates and judgments used to evaluate the expansion opportunity, diversion of management and employee attention, lack of experience in a new market or product or service, and difficulties in integrating a future acquisition or introducing a new product or service.  There is no assurance that such growth or expansion activities will be successful or that they will achieve desired profitability levels.

LCNB’s controls and procedures may fail or be circumvented.

Management regularly reviews and updates LCNB’s internal controls, disclosure controls and procedures, and corporate governance policies and procedures. Any system of controls, however well designed and operated, is based in part on certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurances that the objectives of the system are met. Any failure or circumvention of LCNB’s controls and procedures or failure to comply with regulations related to its controls and procedures could have a material adverse effect on LCNB’s business, results of operations, and financial condition.

LCNB’s information systems may experience an interruption or breach in security.

LCNB relies heavily on communications and information systems to conduct its business. Any failure, interruption, or breach in security of these systems could result in failures or disruptions in LCNB’s customer relationship management, general ledger, deposit, loan, and other systems. While LCNB has policies and procedures designed to prevent or limit the effect of the failure, interruption, or security breach of its information systems, there can be no assurance that any such occurrences will not occur or, if they do occur, that they will be adequately addressed. The occurrence of any failures, interruptions, or security breaches of LCNB’s information systems could damage LCNB’s reputation, result in a loss of customer business, subject LCNB to additional regulatory scrutiny, or expose LCNB to civil litigation and possible financial liability, any of which could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition and results of operations.

Risk factors related to LCNB’s trust business.

Competition for trust business is intense.  Competitors include other commercial bank and trust companies, brokerage firms, investment advisory firms, mutual fund companies, accountants, and attorneys.

LCNB’s trust business is directly affected by conditions in the debt and equity securities markets.  The debt and equity securities markets are affected by, among other factors, domestic and foreign economic conditions and the monetary and fiscal policies of the United States Federal government, all of which are beyond LCNB’s control.  Changes in economic conditions may directly affect the economic performance of the trust accounts in which clients’ assets are invested.  A decline in the fair value of the trust accounts caused by a decline in general economic conditions directly affects LCNB’s trust fee income because such fees are primarily based on the fair value of the trust accounts.  In addition, a sustained decrease in the performance of the trust accounts or a lack of sustained growth may encourage clients to seek alternative investment options.

- 27 -

The management of trust accounts is subject to the risk of mistaken distributions, poor investment choices, and miscellaneous other incorrect decisions.  Such mistakes may give rise to surcharge actions by beneficiaries, with damages substantially in excess of the fees earned from management of the accounts.

LCNB’s ability to pay cash dividends is limited.

LCNB is dependent upon the earnings of the Bank for funds to pay dividends on its common shares.  The payment of dividends by LCNB and the Bank is subject to certain regulatory restrictions.  As a result, any payment of dividends in the future will be dependent, in large part, on the ability of LCNB and the Bank to satisfy these regulatory restrictions and on the Bank’s earnings, capital levels, financial condition, and other factors.  Although LCNB’s financial earnings and financial condition have allowed it to declare and pay periodic cash dividends to shareholders, there can be no assurance that the current dividend policy or the amount of dividend distributions will continue in the future.

Item 5.  Market for Registrant's Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters, and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.

LCNB had approximately 654 registered holders of its common stock as of December 31, 2012.  The number of shareholders includes banks and brokers who act as nominees, each of whom may represent more than one shareholder.  On September 8, 2011, LCNB’s stock began trading on the NASDAQ Capital Market exchange under the symbol “LCNB.”  Before that date, it traded on the NASDAQ Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board, also under the symbol "LCNB."  Trade prices for shares of LCNB Common Stock are set forth below.  Prior to its listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market exchange, trade prices for shares of LCNB common stock were reported through registered securities dealers and trades could have occurred during those periods without the knowledge of LCNB.  The trade prices shown below are interdealer without retail markups, markdowns, or commissions.

It is expected that LCNB will continue to pay dividends on a similar schedule, to the extent permitted by business and other factors beyond management's control.

LCNB depends on dividends from the Bank 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 the Bank 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 OCC, the Bank’s primary regulator, would be necessary for the Bank to pay dividends in excess of this amount. In addition, dividend payments may not reduce capital levels below minimum regulatory guidelines. Management believes the Bank will be able to pay anticipated ordinary dividends to LCNB without needing to request approval.

During the period of this report, LCNB did not sell any of its securities that were not registered under the Securities Act.

- 32 -

On April 17, 2001, LCNB's Board of Directors authorized three separate stock repurchase programs, two of which continue to be in effect – the “Market Repurchase Program and the “Private Sale Repurchase Program.”  Any 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 December 31, 2012, 290,444 shares have been purchased under this program.  No shares were purchased under the Market Repurchase Program during 2012.

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 through December 31, 2012.  No shares were purchased under the Private Sale Repurchase Program during 2012.

LCNB established an Ownership Incentive Plan during 2002 that allows for the issuance of up to 200,000 shares of stock-based awards to eligible employees, as determined by the Board of Directors.  The awards may be in the form of stock options, share awards, and/or appreciation rights.   The following table shows information relating to stock options outstanding at December 31, 2012:

Plan Category	Number of Securities to be Issued upon Exercise of Outstanding Options			Weighted Average Exercise Price of Outstanding Options	Number of Securities Remaining Available for Future Issuance
Equity compensation plans approved by security holders		110,586	$	12.42	87,270
Equity compensation plans not approved by security holders		-		-	-
Total		110,586	$	12.42	87,270

A total of 2,511 restricted shares were granted to an executive officer in February 2010 and vested in November 2010.  Until they vested, they were restricted from sale, transfer, or assignment in accordance with the terms of the agreement under which they were issued.  At the date of vesting, the shares were issued from treasury stock and, therefore, did not affect the number of securities remaining available for future issuance in the table above.  No restricted shares were granted prior to February 2010 or during 2011 or 2012.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Introduction

The following is management's discussion and analysis of the consolidated financial condition and consolidated results of operations of LCNB.  It is intended to amplify certain financial information regarding LCNB and should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes and the Financial Highlights contained in the 2012 Annual Report to Shareholders.

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 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.

Overview

Net income for 2012 was $8,270,000, compared to $8,115,000 in 2011 and $9,373,000 in 2010.  Total basic earnings per common share for 2012, 2011, and 2010 were $1.23, $1.21, and $1.40, respectively.  Total diluted earnings per common share for 2012, 2011, and 2010 were $1.22, $1.20, and $1.39, respectively.

The following items significantly affected earnings for the years indicated:

· Gains from sales of securities were significantly greater in 2012 when compared to 2011 and 2010.

· Gains from sales of mortgage loans were greater in 2012 and 2010 as compared to 2011 due to higher volumes of residential mortgage loan refinancings.

· Bank owned life insurance income was greater during 2010 due to death benefits received.  No death benefits were received during 2012 or 2011.

· FDIC premiums for 2012 and 2011 were less than for 2010 due to a change in the assessment base.

· Other real estate owned expense was greater during 2012 and 2010 as compared to 2011 because of valuation write-downs and related increases in holding costs.  Other real estate owned expense for 2011 included a loss recognized on the sale of commercial property.

· Income from discontinued operations, net of tax, for 2011 includes a gain from the sale of Dakin Insurance Agency.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)

2012 vs. 2011.  Net interest income on a fully tax-equivalent basis for 2012 totaled $26,306,000, a decrease of $724,000 from 2011.  The decrease resulted from a decrease in total taxable-equivalent interest income of $2,222,000, partially offset by a decrease in total interest expense of $1,498,000.

The decrease in taxable-equivalent interest income was due to a 41 basis point (a basis point equals 0.01%) decrease in the average rate earned on interest-earning assets, partially offset by a $17.0 million increase in total average interest-earning assets.  The decrease in average rates earned was primarily due to general decreases in market rates.  The increase in average interest-earning assets occurred primarily in the investment securities portfolio, which grew $19.8 million on an average basis.

Interest expense decreased primarily due to a 24 basis point decrease in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities and to a $4.9 million decrease in total average interest-bearing liabilities.  Savings deposits and NOW and money fund deposits grew a combined total of $27.5 million on an average basis, while average IRA and time certificates decreased $28.0 million.  Average long-term debt decreased $4.5 million due to the payment in full of a $6.0 Federal Home Loan Bank advance in August 2012.  The decrease in average rates paid was primarily due to general decreases in market rates.

The net interest margin, on a taxable-equivalent basis, decreased from 3.70% for 2011 to 3.52% for 2012 primarily due to the limited loan growth during 2012 and low market interest rates.  With weak demand for loans and the sale of most residential real estate mortgage loans originated to the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, deposit growth was largely invested in the investment securities portfolio, which usually pays lower interest rates than the loan portfolio.

2011 vs. 2010.  Net interest income on a fully tax-equivalent basis for 2011 totaled $27,030,000, a decrease of $277,000 from 2010.  The decrease resulted from a decrease in total taxable-equivalent interest income of $2,224,000, largely offset by a decrease in total interest expense of $1,947,000.

The decrease in taxable-equivalent interest income was due to a 50 basis point decrease in the average rate earned on interest-earning assets, partially offset by a $28.3 million increase in total average interest-earning assets.  The decrease in average rates earned was primarily due to general decreases in market rates.  The increase in average interest-earning assets occurred primarily in the taxable investment securities portfolio, which grew $43.4 million on an average basis.

Interest expense decreased primarily due to a 35 basis point decrease in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities.  A secondary factor was a $12.8 million decrease in average IRA and time certificate balances, partially offset by increases in average balances of other deposit account categories and average short-term borrowings.  The decrease in average rates paid was primarily due to general decreases in market rates.

The net interest margin, on a taxable-equivalent basis, decreased from 3.89% for 2010 to 3.70% for 2011 primarily due to the limited loan growth during 2011 and low market interest rates.  With weak demand for loans and the sale of most residential real estate mortgage loans originated to the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, deposit growth was largely invested in the investment securities portfolio, which usually pays lower interest rates than the loan portfolio.

LCNB CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)

The $581,000 of charge-offs in the commercial and industrial loan category for 2011 is comprised of a $251,000 charge-off connected to a retail business that ceased operations during that year and the remaining $330,000 is due to one borrower.  Commercial real estate charge-offs for 2011 consisted of loans to five different borrowers.

Of the $1,105,000 in commercial real estate loan charge-offs during 2010, $421,000 was due to four loans while $684,000 was due to two loans made to the same borrower.  Commercial and industrial loan charge-offs of $289,000 during 2010 included one charge-off of $281,000 relating to a business that ceased operations during that year.

Charge-offs and recoveries classified as “Other” represent charge-offs and recoveries on checking and NOW account overdrafts.  LCNB charges off such overdrafts when considered uncollectible, but no later than 60 days from the date first overdrawn.

LCNB continuously reviews the loan portfolio for credit risk through the use of its lending and loan review functions.  Independent loan reviews analyze specific loans, providing validation that credit risks are appropriately identified and reported to the Loan Committee and Board of Directors.  In addition, the Board of Directors’ Audit Committee receives loan review reports multiple times throughout each year.  Specific new credits are analyzed prior to origination and are reviewed by the Loan Committee and Board of Directors.

Inputs from all of the Bank’s credit risk identification processes are used by management to analyze and validate the adequacy and methodology of the allowance quarterly.  The analysis includes two basic components: specific allocations for individual loans and general loss allocations for pools of loans based on average historic loss ratios for the thirty-six preceding months adjusted for identified economic and other risk factors.  Due to the number, size, and complexity of loans within the loan portfolio, there is always a possibility of inherent undetected losses.  The possible imprecision of management’s assumptions in the evaluation of loans can result in the allowance also having an unallocated component.

The following table presents the components of the allowance for loan losses on the dates specified:

	At December 31,
	2012					2011					2010
	Amount		Percent			Amount		Percent			Amount		Percent

LCNB CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)

The increase in the specific allocation from December 31, 2011 to December 31, 2012 is primarily due to one commercial real estate loan where the borrower is continuing to experience financial difficulty, although the loan is current under the terms of a troubled debt restructuring modification.  The increase in the general historical loss allocation from December 31, 2010 to December 31, 2011 is primarily due to increases in net charge-offs during the historic look-back period.

Non-Interest Income

2012 vs. 2011.  Total non-interest income for 2012 was $1,285,000 greater than for 2011.  Net gains on sales of securities increased $905,000 due to a greater volume of sales during 2012.  LCNB sold about $88.7 million of securities during 2012, compared to $35.8 million of securities sold during 2011.  Gains from sales of mortgage loans during 2012 were $329,000 more than in 2011 primarily due to an increase in the volume of loans sold.  Loans sold during 2012 totaled $28.1 million, compared to $9.4 million in sales during 2011.  Trust income increased $218,000 primarily due to executor fees recognized during the first quarter 2012 and to an increase in brokerage income due to an increase in the volume of new accounts.  These favorable items were partially offset by a $134,000 decrease in service charges and fees on deposit accounts primarily due to a downward trend in overdraft fees, partially offset by an increase in check card fee income.

2011 vs. 2010.  Total non-interest income for 2011 was $1,123,000 less than for 2010.  Bank owned life insurance income decreased in 2011 by $793,000 primarily due to the absence during 2011 of death benefits received in 2010.  Gains from sales of mortgage loans were $319,000 less primarily due to a decrease in the volume of loans sold.  Loans sold during 2011 totaled $9.4 million, compared to $24.2 million in sales during 2010.  Lower interest rates fueled a demand for loan refinancings during 2010.  Service charges and fees on deposit accounts decreased $165,000 primarily due to a downward trend in overdraft fees, partially offset by an increase in check card fee income.  These unfavorable items were partially offset by a $202,000 increase in trust income that was primarily due to executor fees received and a change in the mix of trust assets.

Non-Interest Expense

2012 vs. 2011.  Total non-interest expense was $167,000 less in 2012 as compared to 2011 primarily due to a $129,000 decrease in salaries and employee benefits, a $140,000 decrease in FDIC premiums, and a $187,000 decrease in other non-interest expenses.

- 43 -

LCNB CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)

Salaries and employee benefits decreased primarily due to decreased expense for LCNB’s qualified noncontributory defined benefit retirement plan.  LCNB’s minimum funding requirements for its qualified noncontributory defined benefit retirement plan for the plan year July 1, 2012 through June 30, 2013 was significantly less than the previous fiscal year due to an interest rate stabilization provision included in the “Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act.”  Although LCNB management elected to contribute an amount that would have been required absent the stabilization provision, accounting guidance allows expensing only the required contribution.  Consequently, LCNB charged a $694,000 difference to a prepaid account, which is included with other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2012.

FDIC premiums decreased primarily due to implementation of a new assessment base, effective April 1, 2011, that uses total assets and tier one capital as opposed to deposits.  The decrease in other non-interest expenses is primarily due to the absence during the 2012 period of the following costs paid during 2011:  a $56,000 loss recognized on a standby letter of credit, $59,000 in environmental remediation costs for the lot on which LCNB’s new Lebanon Drive-Up facility is located, and $50,000 in NASDAQ application fees.

These favorable items were partially offset by a $140,000 increase in other real estate owned expenses primarily due to the recognition of impairment charges on property currently held for sale.

2011 vs. 2010.  Total non-interest expense was $572,000 greater in 2011 as compared to 2010 primarily due to a $472,000 increase in salaries and employee benefits, a $149,000 increase in equipment expenses, a $109,000 increase in computer maintenance and supplies, and a $399,000 increase in other non-interest expenses.  While salaries were held to a less than 4% increase, health care costs and pension costs contributed to the balance of the increase in salaries and employee benefits.  Equipment expenses increased primarily due to increased depreciation caused by ATM and computer hardware replacements.  The increase in other non-interest expenses resulted from the one-time costs detailed in the 2012 vs. 2011 other non-interest expense comparison above and other smaller miscellaneous costs.  Partially offsetting these increases were a $413,000 decrease in FDIC premiums, a $156,000 decrease in other real estate owned expense, and a $114,000 decrease in occupancy expense.  FDIC premiums decreased primarily due to implementation of a new assessment base that uses total assets and tier one capital as opposed to deposits.  Other real estate owned expense decreased due to a decrease in valuation write-downs.

Income Taxes

LCNB's effective tax rates for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010 were 25.3%, 23.2%, and 21.4%, respectively.  The difference between the statutory rate of 34.0% and the effective tax rate is primarily due to tax-exempt interest income and tax-exempt earnings from bank owned life insurance.

LCNB CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)

Assets

Net loans decreased $8.0 million during 2012.  The commercial real estate loan portfolio, which increased $11.1 million, was the only category that experienced growth during 2012.  Commercial and industrial loans decreased $4.8 million and consumer loans decreased $4.0 million, reflecting lower demand due to economic conditions during 2012.  Residential real estate loans decreased $3.8 million, which does not reflect $28.1 million of residential real estate loans that were originated and sold to the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation during 2012.

Investment securities available-for-sale increased $4.5 million during 2012.  U.S. Agency notes increased $7.7 million, non-taxable municipal securities increased $4.2 million, and U.S. Treasury notes increased $1.1 million.  These increases were partially offset by a $6.1 million decrease in taxable municipal securities.

Investment securities held-to-maturity increased $4.7 million primarily due to the purchase of non-taxable municipal securities.  Securities placed in the held-to-maturity category are securities purchased from local municipalities.

Bank owned life insurance increased $2.1 million due to the purchase of $1.5 million in new policies and earnings on existing policies.

Deposits

Total deposits at December 31, 2012 were $7.9 million greater than at December 31, 2011.  The growth was in the liquid deposit products – checking, NOW, and savings accounts.  These types of instruments increased a total of $44.6 million, while IRA and time certificate accounts decreased $30.2 million and money fund deposit accounts decreased $6.5 million.  Of the $30.2 million decrease in IRA and time certificate accounts, $13.6 million of the decrease was due to public fund time deposit accounts.  Approximately $12.2 million of the decrease in public fund time deposit accounts was reinvested in other financial institutions through LCNB’s membership in the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service (CDARS).  CDARS is a program that allows customers to spread large time deposits among various financial institutions, usually to stay below FDIC insurance limits at any given bank.

Long-Term Debt

Long-term debt decreased $7.7 million primarily because of the payment in full of a $6.0 million advance from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati in August 2012.

LCNB CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)

Liquidity

Liquidity is the ability to have funds available at all times to meet the commitments of LCNB.  These commitments may include paying dividends to shareholders, funding new loans for borrowers, funding withdrawals by depositors, paying general and administrative expenses, and funding capital expenditures. Sources of liquidity include growth in deposits, principal payments received on loans, proceeds from the sale of loans, the sale or maturation of investment securities, cash generated by operating activities, and the ability to borrow funds.  Management closely monitors the level of liquid assets available to meet ongoing funding requirements. 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 during the past year as a result of current liquidity levels.

The liquidity of LCNB is enhanced by the fact that 83.6% of total deposits at December 31, 2012 were "core" deposits. Core deposits, for this purpose, are defined as total deposits less public funds and certificates of deposit greater than $100,000.

Liquid assets include cash, federal funds sold and securities available-for-sale.  Except for investments in the stock of the Federal Reserve Bank and the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati (“FHLB”) and certain local municipal securities, all of LCNB's investment portfolio is classified as "available-for-sale" and can be readily sold to meet liquidity needs, subject to certain pledging commitments for public funds, repurchase agreements, and other requirements.  At December 31, 2012, LCNB's liquid assets amounted to $272.0 million or 34.5% of total assets, a slight decrease from $273.5 million or 34.6% of total assets at December 31, 2011.

An additional source of funding is borrowings from the FHLB.  Long-term advances totaling $13.7 million were outstanding at December 31, 2012.  LCNB is approved to borrow up to $39.4 million in short-term advances through the FHLB’s Cash Management Advance program.   Total remaining available borrowing capacity, including short-term advances, with the FHLB at December 31, 2012 was approximately $31.8 million.  One of the factors limiting availability of FHLB borrowings is a bank’s ownership of FHLB stock.  LCNB could increase its available borrowing capacity by purchasing more FHLB stock.

Besides the short-term FHLB advances, short-term borrowings may include repurchase agreements, federal funds purchased, and advances from a line of credit with another financial institution.  At December 31, 2012, LCNB could borrow up to $20 million through the line of credit and up to $17 million under federal funds arrangements with two other financial institutions.  Short-term borrowings at December 31, 2012 included $2.7 million from the line of credit and $11.1 million in repurchase agreements.

Commitments to extend credit at December 31, 2012 totaled $77.7 million and standby letters of credit totaled $5.1 million and are more fully described in Note 11 to LCNB's Financial Statements.  Since many commitments to extend credit may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

Capital Resources

LCNB and the Bank are required by banking regulators to meet certain minimum levels of capital adequacy. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a material effect on LCNB's and the Bank's financial statements.  These minimum levels 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 the Bank'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 4.00% and the ratio of total capital (Tier 1 capital plus Tier 2 capital) to risk-weighted assets must be at least 8.00%. 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 3.00%.  A table summarizing the regulatory capital of LCNB and the Bank at December 31, 2012 and 2011 is included in Note 12, "Regulatory Matters", of the 2012 Annual Report to Shareholders.

The FDIC, the insurer of deposits in financial institutions, has adopted a risk-based insurance premium system based in part on an institution's capital adequacy. Under this system, a depository institution is required to pay successively higher premiums depending on its capital levels and its supervisory rating by its primary regulator. It is management's intention to maintain sufficient capital to permit the Bank to maintain a "well capitalized" designation (the FDIC's highest rating).

On April 17, 2001, LCNB's Board of Directors authorized three separate stock repurchase programs, two of which continue to be in effect – the “Market Repurchase Program” and the “Private Sale Repurchase Program.”  Any 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, as restated for a 100% stock dividend issued in May, 2007, 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, as restated for the stock dividend.  Through December 31, 2012, 290,444 shares, as restated for the stock dividend, had been purchased under this program.  No shares were purchased under this program during 2012.

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.  A total of 466,018 shares, as restated for the stock dividend, had been purchased under this program at December 31, 2012.  No shares were purchased under this program during 2012.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)

LCNB established an Ownership Incentive Plan during 2002 that allows for 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 restated for the stock dividend.  The following table provides the stock options granted to key executive officers of LCNB for the years indicated:

Year	Options Granted
2008		13,918
2009		29,110
2010		20,798
2011		25,083
2012		14,491

The exercise price for stock options granted shall not be less than the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant.  Options vest ratably over a five-year period and the maximum term for each grant will be specified by the Board of Directors, but cannot be greater than ten years from the date of grant.  In the event of an optionee's death or incapacity, all outstanding options held by that optionee shall immediately vest and be exercisable.

On January 9, 2009, LCNB issued 13,400 shares of Fixed Rate Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series A and a warrant for the purchase of 217,063 common shares of LCNB stock at an exercise price of $9.26 per share to the U.S. Treasury Department.  LCNB allocated $583,000 of the proceeds from the preferred stock issuance to the warrant.  The warrant carries a ten year term and was 100% vested at grant.  On October 21, 2009, LCNB redeemed the preferred stock that had been issued under the Capital Purchase Program agreement, but did not redeem the warrant.  The Treasury Department sold the warrant to an investor during the fourth quarter 2011.

Critical Accounting Policies

Allowance for Loan Losses.  The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged to expense.  Loans are charged against the allowance for loan losses when management believes that the collectability of the principal is unlikely.  Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.  The allowance is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb inherent losses in the loan portfolio, based on evaluations of the collectability of loans and prior loan loss experience.  The evaluations take into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, review of specific problem loans, and current economic conditions that may affect the borrowers' ability to pay.  This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

- 49 -

LCNB CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)

The allowance consists of specific and general components.  The specific component relates to loans that are classified as doubtful, substandard, or special mention.  For such loans an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows or collateral value is lower than the carrying value of that loan.  The general component covers non-classified loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors, which include trends in underperforming loans, trends in the volume and terms of loans, economic trends and conditions, concentrations of credit, trends in the quality of loans, and borrower financial statement exceptions.

Based on its evaluations, management believes that the allowance for loan losses will be adequate to absorb estimated losses inherent in the current loan portfolio.

Accounting for Intangibles.  LCNB’s intangible assets at December 31, 2012 are composed primarily of goodwill and a core deposit intangible related to the acquisition of Sycamore during the fourth quarter 2007 and mortgage servicing rights recorded from sales of mortgage loans to the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation.  Goodwill is not subject to amortization, but is reviewed annually for impairment.  The core deposit intangible is being amortized on a straight line basis over six years.  Mortgage servicing rights are capitalized by allocating the total cost of loans between mortgage servicing rights and the loans based on their estimated fair values.  Capitalized mortgage servicing rights are amortized to loan servicing income in proportion to and over the period of estimated servicing income, subject to periodic review for impairment.

Fair Value Accounting for Investment Securities.  Securities classified as available-for-sale are carried at estimated fair value.  Unrealized gains and losses, net of taxes, are reported as accumulated other comprehensive income or loss in shareholders’ equity.  Fair value is estimated using market quotations for U.S. Treasury and corporate securities and equity investments.  Fair value for the majority of the remaining available-for-sale securities is estimated using the discounted cash flow method for each security with discount rates based on rates observed in the market.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk for LCNB is primarily interest rate risk.  LCNB attempts to mitigate this risk through asset/liability management strategies designed to decrease the vulnerability of its earnings to material and prolonged changes in interest rates.  LCNB does not use derivatives such as interest rate swaps, caps or floors to hedge this risk.  LCNB has not entered into any market risk instruments for trading purposes.

The Bank's Asset and Liability Management Committee ("ALCO") primarily uses a combination of InterestRate Sensitivity Analysis (IRSA) and Economic Value of Equity (EVE) analysis for measuring and managing interest rate risk.  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.  Management considers the results of any significant downward scenarios to not be meaningful in the current interest rate environment.  The base projection uses a current interest rate scenario.  As shown below, the December 31, 2012 IRSA indicates that an increase in interest rates at all shock levels will have a positive effect on net interest income.  The changes in net interest income for all rate assumptions are within LCNB’s acceptable ranges.

Rate Shock Scenario in Basis Points	Amount (In thousands)		$ Change in Net Interest Income		% Change in Net Interest Income
Up 300	$	25,904		1,634		6.73	%
Up 200		25,359		1,089		4.49	%
Up 100		24,807		537		2.21	%
Base		24,270		-		-	%

IRSA shows the effect 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.  As shown below, the December 31, 2012 EVE analysis indicates that an increase in interest rates would have a negative effect on the EVE.  The changes in the EVE for all rate assumptions are within LCNB’s acceptable ranges.

Rate Shock Scenario in Basis Points	Amount (In thousands)		$ Change in EVE			% Change in EVE
Up 300	$	80,130		(1,374	)		(1.69	)%
Up 200		81,217		(287	)		(0.35	)%
Up 100		81,449		(55	)		(0.07	)%
Base		81,504		-			-	%

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 8.  Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

REPORT OF MANAGEMENT’S ASSESSMENT OF INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

LCNB Corp. (“LCNB”) is responsible for the preparation, integrity, and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements included in this annual report. Management of LCNB and its subsidiaries is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15f.  LCNB’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of LCNB’s Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer. The purpose is to provide reasonable assurance to the Board of Directors regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of LCNB’s financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Management maintains internal controls over financial reporting. The internal controls contain control processes and actions are taken to correct deficiencies as they are identified. The internal controls are evaluated on an ongoing basis by LCNB’s Management and Audit Committee. Even effective internal controls, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations – including the possibility of circumvention or overriding of controls – and therefore can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation. Also, because of changes in conditions, internal control effectiveness may vary over time.

Management assessed LCNB’s internal controls as of December 31, 2012, in relation to criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting described in “Internal Control – Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, management believes that, as of December 31, 2012, LCNB’s internal control over financial reporting met the criteria.

J.D. Cloud & Co. L.L.P., an independent registered public accounting firm, has issued an attestation report on the effectiveness of LCNB’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders

LCNB Corp.

Lebanon, Ohio

We have audited LCNB Corp. and subsidiaries’ (LCNB) internal control over financial reporting as of  December 31, 2012, based on criteria established in “Internal Control—Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).  LCNB’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying “Report of Management’s Assessment of Internal Control over Financial Reporting.”  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on LCNB’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.  Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk.  Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion,  LCNB  maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, based on criteria established in “Internal Control—Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2012 of LCNB, and our report dated February 25, 2013 expressed an unqualified opinion.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2012

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

LCNB Corp. (the "Company" or “LCNB”), an Ohio corporation formed in December 1998, is a financial holding company whose principal activity is the ownership of LCNB National Bank (the "Bank").  The Bank was founded in 1877 and provides full banking services, including trust and brokerage services, to customers primarily in the Southwestern Ohio area of Warren, Butler, and Clinton Counties and portions of Clermont, Hamilton, and Montgomery Counties.  LCNB completed the sale of its other operating subsidiary, Dakin Insurance Agency, Inc. (“Dakin”) on March 23, 2011.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.  The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and with general practices in the banking industry.  The financial results of Dakin are included as income from discontinued operations, net of tax, in the consolidated financial statements through the date of sale.

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

USE OF ESTIMATES

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.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash, balances due from banks, federal funds sold, and interest-bearing demand deposits with original maturities of three months or less.  Deposits with other banks routinely have balances greater than FDIC insured limits.  Management considers the risk of loss to be very low with respect to such deposits.

INVESTMENT SECURITIES

Certain municipal debt securities that management has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as “held-to-maturity” and recorded at amortized cost.  Securities not classified as held-to-maturity are classified as “available-for-sale” and recorded at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported in other comprehensive income, a separate component of shareholders’ equity.  Amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts are recognized as adjustments to interest income using the level-yield method.  Realized gains or losses from the sale of securities are recorded on the trade date and are computed using the specific identification method.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Declines in the fair value of securities below their cost that are deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired and for which the Company does not intend to sell the securities and it is not more likely than not that the securities will be sold before the anticipated recovery of the impairment are separated into losses related to credit factors and losses related to other factors.  The losses related to credit factors are recognized in earnings and losses related to other factors are recognized in other comprehensive income.  In estimating other than temporary impairment losses, management considers the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") stock is an equity interest in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati.  It can be sold only at its par value of $100 per share and only to the FHLB or to another member institution.  In addition, the equity ownership rights are more limited than would be the case for a public company because of the oversight role exercised by the Federal Housing Finance Agency in the process of budgeting and approving dividends.  Federal Reserve Bank stock is similarly restricted in marketability and value.  Both investments are carried at cost, which is their par value.

FHLB and Federal Reserve Bank stock are both subject to minimum ownership requirements by member banks.  The required investments in common stock are based on predetermined formulae.

LOANS

The Company’s loan portfolio includes most types of residential and commercial real estate loans, consumer loans, commercial and industrial loans, agricultural loans and other types of loans. Most of the properties collateralizing the loan portfolio are located within the Company’s market area.

Loans are stated at the principal amount outstanding, net of unearned income, deferred origination fees and costs, and the allowance for loan losses.  Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. The delinquency status of a loan is based on contractual terms and not on how recently payments have been received.  Generally, a loan is placed on non-accrual status when it is classified as impaired or there is an indication that the borrower’s cash flow may not be sufficient to make payments as they come due, unless the loan is well secured and in the process of collection.  Subsequent cash receipts on non-accrual loans are recorded as a reduction of principal and interest income is recorded once principal recovery is reasonably assured.  The current year's accrued interest on loans placed on non-accrual status is charged against earnings. Previous years' accrued interest is charged against the allowance for loan losses.

Loan origination fees and certain direct loan origination costs are deferred and the net amount amortized as an adjustment of loan yields.  These amounts are being amortized over the lives of the related loans.

In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into off-balance sheet financial instruments consisting of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit.  Such financial instruments are recorded in the financial statements when they are funded.  The credit risk associated with these commitments is evaluated in a manner similar to the allowance for loan losses.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged to expense.  Loans are charged against the allowance for loan losses when management believes that the collectability of the principal is unlikely.  Consumer loans are charged off when they reach 120 days past due.  Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

The provision for loan losses is determined by management based upon its evaluation of the amount needed to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level considered appropriate in relation to the estimated risk of losses inherent in the portfolio.  Current methodology used by management to estimate the allowance takes into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, review of specific problem loans, historic categorical trends, current delinquency levels as related to historical levels, portfolio growth rates, changes in composition of the portfolio, the current economic environment, as well as current allowance adequacy in relation to the portfolio.  Management is cognizant that reliance on historical information coupled with the cyclical nature of the economy, including credit cycles, affects the allowance.  Management considers all of these factors prior to making any adjustments to the allowance due the subjectivity and imprecision involved in allocation methodology.  This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

The allowance consists of specific and general components.  The specific component relates to loans that are specifically reviewed for impairment.  For such loans, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan.  The general component covers loans not specifically reviewed for impairment and homogeneous loan pools, such as residential real estate and consumer loans.  The general component is measured for each loan category separately based on each category’s average of historical loss experience over a thirty-six month period, adjusted for qualitative factors.  Such qualitative factors may include current economic conditions if different from the three-year historical loss period, trends in underperforming loans, trends in volume and terms of loan categories, concentrations of credit, and trends in loan quality.

A loan is considered impaired when management believes, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect all amounts due, including principal and interest, according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  An impaired loan is measured by the present value of expected future cash flows using the loan's effective interest rate.  An impaired collateral-dependent loan may be measured based on collateral value.  Smaller-balance homogenous loans, including residential mortgage and consumer installment loans, that are not evaluated individually are collectively evaluated for impairment.

PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT

Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.  Depreciation is computed on both the straight-line and accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally 15 to 40 years for premises and 3 to 10 years for equipment.  Leasehold improvements are amortized over the terms of the respective leases or the estimated useful lives of the improvements, whichever is shorter. Costs incurred for maintenance and repairs are expensed currently.

OTHER REAL ESTATE OWNED

Other real estate owned includes properties acquired through foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure.  Such property is held for sale and is initially recorded at fair value, less costs to sell, establishing a new cost basis.  Fair value is primarily based on a property appraisal obtained at the time of transfer and any periodic updates that may be obtained thereafter.  The allowance for loan losses is charged for any write down of the loan’s carrying value to fair value at the date of acquisition.  Any subsequent reductions in fair value and expenses incurred from holding other real estate owned are charged to other non-interest expense.  Costs, excluding interest, relating to the improvement of other real estate owned are capitalized.  Gains and losses from the sale of other real estate owned are included in other non-interest expense.

Other real estate owned also includes in-substance foreclosed properties, which are properties that the Company has taken physical control of, regardless of whether formal foreclosure proceedings have occurred.

GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired in a business combination.  Goodwill is not amortized, but is instead subject to an annual review for impairment.

Mortgage servicing rights on originated mortgage loans that have been sold are initially recorded at their estimated fair values.  Mortgage servicing rights are amortized to loan servicing income in proportion to and over the period of estimated servicing income.  Such assets are periodically evaluated as to the recoverability of their carrying value.

The Company’s other intangible asset relates to core deposits acquired from the Sycamore National Bank acquisition consummated in 2007.  This intangible asset is amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life.  Management evaluates whether events or circumstances have occurred that indicate the remaining useful life or carrying value of the amortizing intangible should be revised.

BANK OWNED LIFE INSURANCE

The Company has purchased life insurance policies on certain officers of the Company.  The Company is the beneficiary of these policies and has recorded the estimated cash surrender value in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets.  Income on the policies, based on the increase in cash surrender value and any incremental death benefits, is included in other non-interest income in the consolidated statements of income.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Accounting guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy to prioritize the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value.  A financial instrument’s level within the hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.  The three broad input levels are:

· Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the reporting date;

· Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and

· Level 3 - inputs that are unobservable for the asset or liability.

Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets in active markets,  quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices (such as interest rates or yield curves) that are observable for the asset or liability, and inputs that are derived from or corroborated by observable market data.

Accounting guidance permits, but does not require, companies 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 for the selected instruments are recorded in earnings.  The Company did not select any financial instruments for the fair value election in 2012 or 2011.

ADVERTISING EXPENSE

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and are recorded as a marketing expense, a component of non-interest expense.

PENSION PLAN

Eligible employees of the Company hired before 2009 participate in a multiple-employer qualified noncontributory defined benefit retirement plan.  This plan is accounted for as a multi-employer plan because assets contributed by an employer are not segregated in a separate account or restricted to provide benefits only to employees of that employer.

STOCK OPTIONS

The cost of employee services received in exchange for stock option grants is the grant-date fair value of the award estimated using an option-pricing model.  This estimated cost is recognized over the period the employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period.  The Company uses a Black-Scholes pricing model and related assumptions for estimating the fair value of stock option grants and a five-year vesting period.

INCOME TAXES

Deferred income taxes are determined using the liability method of accounting.  Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the tax effects of temporary differences between the book and tax basis of the various balance sheet assets and liabilities and gives current recognition to changes in tax rates and laws.

Management analyzes material tax positions taken in any income tax return for any tax jurisdiction and determines the likelihood of the positions being sustained in a tax examination.  A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur.  The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination.  For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded.

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 and warrants.  The diluted average number of common shares outstanding has been increased for the assumed exercise of stock options and warrants with the proceeds used to purchase treasury shares at the average market price for the period.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2012-02, “Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment.”   The provisions of ASU No. 2012-02 permit an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative impairment test, as is currently required by GAAP.  ASU No. 2012-02 is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012.  As LCNB does not have any indefinite-lived intangible assets, other than goodwill, the adoption of ASU No. 2012-02 is expected to have no impact on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

In October 2012, the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-06, “Subsequent Accounting for an Indemnification Asset Recognized at the Acquisition Date as a Result of a Government-Assisted Acquisition of a Financial Institution.”  When a reporting entity recognizes an indemnification asset (as a result of a loss-sharing agreement with the FDIC or National Credit Union Administration) and a subsequent change in the cash flows expected to be collected on the indemnification asset occurs (as a result of a change in cash flows expected to be collected on the assets subject to indemnification), the reporting entity should subsequently account for the change in the measurement of the indemnification asset on the same basis as the change in the assets subject to indemnification.  Any amortization of changes in value should be limited to the lesser of the term of the indemnification agreement or the remaining life of the indemnified assets.  This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2012 and will be applied prospectively to new indemnification assets acquired and to changes in expected cash flows of existing indemnification assets occurring on or after the date of adoption.  As LCNB has not participated in any government-assisted acquisitions of other financial institutions, the adoption of ASU No. 2012-06 is expected to have no impact on its consolidated financial statements.

On February 5, 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, “Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.”  The provisions of this update require public and non-public companies to present information about reclassification adjustments from accumulated other comprehensive income in their annual financial statements in a single note or on the face of the financial statements.  Public companies, such as LCNB, must also provide this information in their interim financial statements.  This standard is effective prospectively for public companies for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012.

Management has determined that the unrealized losses at December 31, 2012 are primarily due to fluctuations in market interest rates and do not reflect credit quality deterioration of the securities.   Because the Company does not have the intent to sell the investments and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost, the Company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired.

NOTE 3 - LOANS (Continued)

The Company uses a risk-rating system to quantify loan quality.  A loan is assigned to a risk category based on relevant information about the ability of the borrower to service the debt including, but not limited to, current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends.  The categories used are:

· Pass – loans categorized in this category are higher quality loans that do not fit any of the other categories described below.

· Other Assets Especially Mentioned (OAEM) - loans in this category are currently protected but are potentially weak.  These loans constitute a risk but not to the point of justifying a classification of substandard.  The credit risk may be relatively minor yet constitute an undue risk in light of the circumstances surrounding a specific asset.

· Substandard – loans in this category are inadequately protected by the current sound net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any.  Assets so classified must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt.  They are characterized by the possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

· Doubtful – loans classified in this category have all the weaknesses inherent in loans classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

The Company is no longer subject to examination by federal tax authorities for years before 2009.

NOTE 11 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

The Company 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 include 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.  The Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit is represented by the contract amount of those instruments.

The Company offers the Bounce Protection product, a customer deposit overdraft program, which is offered as a service and does not constitute a contract between the customer and LCNB.

The Company 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 December 31 were as follows (in thousands):

	2012		2011
Commitments to extend credit:

Standby letters of credit at December 31, 2012 include a letter of credit in the amount of $80,000 to a company of which a member of LCNB’s Board of Directors is a partner.

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 or agreement.  Unused lines of credit include amounts not drawn on 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 December 31, 2012 and 2011, outstanding guarantees of approximately $346,000 and $546,000, respectively, were issued to various types of businesses.  These guarantees generally are fully secured and have varying maturities.  In addition, the Company has a participation in four letters of credit securing payment of principal and interest on a bond issue.  The participation amounts at December 31, 2012 and 2011 totaled approximately $4.8 million and $5.0 million, respectively.  The letters of credit have a final maturity date of July 15, 2015, as extended.

The Company evaluates each customer’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis.  The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company, 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.

The Company 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 12 - REGULATORY MATTERS

The Federal Reserve Act requires depository institutions to maintain cash reserves with the Federal Reserve Bank.  In 2012 and 2011, the Bank maintained average reserve balances of $10,658,000 and $9,348,000, respectively.  The reserve balances at December 31, 2012 and 2011 were $6,438,000 and $4,371,000, respectively.

The principal source of income and funds for LCNB Corp. is dividends paid by the Bank.  The payment of dividends is subject to restriction by regulatory authorities.  For 2012, the restrictions generally limit dividends to the aggregate of net income for the year 2012 plus the net earnings retained for 2011 and 2010.  In addition, dividend payments may not reduce capital levels below minimum regulatory guidelines. At December 31, 2012, approximately $10,517,000 of the Bank’s earnings retained was available for dividends in 2013 under this guideline.  Dividends in excess of these limitations would require the prior approval of the Comptroller of the Currency.

NOTE 12 - REGULATORY MATTERS (continued)

The Company (consolidated) and the Bank must meet certain minimum capital requirements set by federal banking agencies.  Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a material effect on the Company's and Bank's financial statements.  The Company’s and Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.  For various regulatory purposes, institutions are classified into categories based upon capital adequacy.

Minimum capital requirements and capital levels needed to be considered well-capitalized at December 31, 2012 and 2011 are:

	Minimum Requirement	To Be Considered Well-Capitalized
Ratio of tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets	4.0%	6.0%
Ratio of total capital (tier 1 capital plus tier 2    capital) to risk-weighted assets	8.0%	10.0%
Leverage ratio (tier 1 capital to adjusted    quarterly average total assets)	3.0%	5.0%

As of the most recent notification from their regulators, the Company and Bank 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 Bank's category.

NOTE 13 - RETIREMENT PLANS

Prior to January 1, 2009, the Company had a single-employer qualified noncontributory defined benefit retirement plan that covered substantially all regular full-time employees.  Effective January 1, 2009, the Company redesigned the plan and merged it into a multiple-employer plan, which is accounted for as a multi-employer plan because assets contributed by an employer are not segregated in a separate account or restricted to provide benefits only to employees of that employer.  Employees hired on or after January 1, 2009 are not eligible to participate in this plan.

Effective February 1, 2009, the Company amended the plan to reduce benefits for those whose age plus vesting service equaled less than 65 at that date.  Also effective February 1, 2009, an enhanced 401(k) plan was made available to those hired on or after January 1, 2009 and to those who received benefit reductions from the amendments to the noncontributory defined benefit retirement plan.  Employees hired on or after January 1, 2009 receive a 50% employer match on their contributions into the 401(k) plan, up to a maximum company contribution of 3% of each individual employee’s annual compensation.  Employees who received a benefit reduction under the retirement plan amendments receive an automatic contribution of 5% or 7% of annual compensation, depending on the sum of an employee’s age and vesting service, into the 401(k) plan, regardless of the contributions made by the employees.  This contribution is made annually and these employees will not receive any employer matches to their 401(k) contributions.

Certain information pertaining to the qualified noncontributory defined benefit retirement plan is as follows:

Legal name	Pentegra Defined Benefit Plan for Financial Institutions
Plan’s employer identification number	13-5645888
Plan number	333

The plan is at least 80% funded as of July 1, 2012 and 2011.  A funding improvement or rehabilitation plan has not been implemented, nor has a surcharge been paid to the plan.

Funding and administrative costs of the qualified noncontributory defined benefit retirement plan and 401(k) plan charged to salaries and employee benefits in the consolidated statements of income for the years ended December 31 were as follows (in thousands):

The Company expects to contribute $125,000 to the qualified noncontributory defined benefit retirement plan in 2013.  The Company expects to contribute $249,000 to the 401(k) plan in 2013.  The Company’s contributions to the qualified noncontributory defined benefit retirement plan do not represent more than 5% of total contributions to the plan.

The Bank has a benefit plan which permits eligible officers to defer a portion of their compensation.  The deferred compensation balance, which accrues interest at 8% annually, is distributable in cash after retirement or termination of employment.  The amount of such deferred compensation liability at December 31, 2012 and 2011 was $2,442,000 and $2,248,000, respectively.

The Bank also has a supplemental income plan which provides a covered employee an amount based on a percentage of average compensation, payable annually for ten years upon retirement. The projected benefit obligation included in other liabilities for this supplemental income plan at December 31, 2012 and 2011 is $476,000 and $436,000, respectively. The discount rate used to determine the present value of the obligation was 4.50% and 5.25% in 2012 and 2011, respectively. The service cost associated with this plan was $20,000 for 2012, $20,000 for 2011, and $18,000 for 2010.  Interest costs were $20,000, $21,000, and $19,000 for 2012, 2011, and 2010, respectively.

The deferred compensation plan and the supplemental income plan are both nonqualified and unfunded. Participation in each plan is limited to a select group of management.

Effective February 1, 2009, the Company established a nonqualified defined benefit retirement plan, which is also unfunded, for certain highly compensated employees.  The nonqualified plan ensures that participants receive the full amount of benefits to which they would have been entitled under the noncontributory defined benefit retirement plan in the absence of limits on benefit levels imposed by certain sections of the Internal Revenue Code.

The components of net periodic pension cost of the nonqualified defined benefit retirement plan for the years ended December 31 are summarized as follows (in thousands):

NOTE 14 - STOCK BASED COMPENSATION (continued)

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 December 31, 2012 that were “in the money” (market price greater than exercise price) was $228,000.  The aggregate intrinsic value at that date for only the options that were exercisable was $106,000.  The aggregate intrinsic value for options outstanding at December 31, 2011 that were in the money was $178,000 and the aggregate intrinsic value at that date for only the options that were exercisable was $71,000.  The intrinsic value changes based on changes in the market value of the Company’s stock.

The fair value of options granted is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.  The following table shows the estimated weighted-average fair value of options granted and the assumptions used in calculating that value for the years indicated:

	2012			2011			2010
Estimated weighted-average fair value of options granted	$	2.80			2.09			2.27

Total expense related to options included in salaries and wages in the consolidated statements of income for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010 was $41,000, $45,000, and $40,000, respectively. Total compensation cost related to option awards to be recognized ratably through the first quarter of 2017 is approximately $88,000.

A total of 2,511 restricted shares were granted to an executive officer in February 2010 and vested in November 2010.  Until they vested, they were restricted from sale, transfer, or assignment in accordance with the terms of the agreement under which they were issued.  At the date of vesting, the shares were issued from treasury stock and, therefore, did not affect the number of securities remaining available for future issuance in the table above.  No restricted shares were granted prior to February 2010 or during 2011 and 2012.

NOTE 17 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The majority of LCNB’s financial debt securities are classified as available-for-sale.  The securities are reported at fair value with unrealized holding gains and losses reported net of income taxes in accumulated other comprehensive income.

The Company utilizes a pricing service for determining the fair values of most of its investment securities.  Fair value for U.S. Treasury Notes and corporate securities are determined based on market quotations (level 1).  Fair value for most of the other investment securities is calculated using the discounted cash flow method for each security.  The discount rates for these cash flows are estimated by the pricing service using rates observed in the market (level 2).  Cash flow streams are dependent on estimated prepayment speeds and the overall structure of the securities given existing market conditions.  In addition, the Company has invested in two mutual funds that invest in debt securities or loans that qualify for credit under the Community Reinvestment Act.  The investment in one of the mutual funds is considered to have level 1 inputs because it is publically traded in an active market and it publishes a daily net asset value.  The investment in the other mutual fund is considered to have level 2 inputs because, although its shares are not traded in an active market, an investor can have its interest in the fund redeemed for the balance of its capital account at any quarter-end assuming the fund is given a 60 day notice.  The investment in this Fund is carried at cost and approximates fair value.  Additionally, LCNB Corp. owns trust preferred securities in various financial institutions and equity securities in non-financial companies.  Market quotations (level 1) are used to determine fair value for these investments.

Assets that may be recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include impaired loans, other real estate owned, and other repossessed assets.  A loan is considered impaired when management believes it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  Impaired loans are carried at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate or the fair value of collateral if the loan is collateral dependent, if this value is less than the loan balance.  When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or current appraised value, the inputs are considered to be level 2.  When an appraised value is not available and there is not an observable market price, the inputs are considered to be level 3.

Other real estate owned is adjusted to fair value upon transfer of the loan to foreclosed assets, usually based on an appraisal of the property.  Subsequently, foreclosed assets are carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value.  The inputs for a valuation based on current appraised value are considered to be level 2.

NOTE 17 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS(continued)

Fair values of financial instruments are based on various assumptions, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows.  Therefore, the fair values presented may not represent amounts that could be realized in actual transactions.  In addition, because the required disclosures exclude certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments, any aggregation of the fair value amounts presented would not represent the underlying value of the Company.  The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of certain financial instruments:

Cash and cash equivalents

The carrying amounts presented are deemed to approximate fair value.

Investment securities

Fair values for securities, excluding Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal Reserve Bank stock, are based on quoted market prices, if available.  If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities and/or discounted cash flow analyses.  The carrying value of Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal Reserve Bank stock approximates fair value based on the respective redemptive provisions.

Loans

Fair value is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities, incorporating assumptions of current and projected prepayment speeds.

Deposits

The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts, and certain money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date.  The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

Borrowings

The carrying amounts of federal funds purchased, repurchase agreements, and U.S. Treasury demand note borrowings are deemed to approximate fair value of short-term borrowings.  For long-term debt, fair values are estimated based on the discounted value of expected net cash flows using current interest rates.

NOTE 19 – ACQUISITION

On October 9, 2012, LCNB and First Capital Bancshares, Inc. (“First Capital”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Merger Agreement”) pursuant to which First Capital was merged into LCNB on January 11, 2013 in a stock and cash transaction valued at approximately $20.2 million.  Immediately following the merger of First Capital into LCNB, Citizens National Bank (“Citizens”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of First Capital, was merged into LCNB National Bank.  Citizens operated six full–service branches with a main office and two other facilities in Chillicothe, Ohio and one branch in each of Frankfort, Ohio, Clarksburg, Ohio, and Washington Court House, Ohio.  These offices became branches of LCNB after the merger.

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the shareholders of First Capital common stock was entitled to elect to receive, for each share of First Capital Common Stock, (i) $30.76 in cash, (ii) 2.329 common shares of LCNB (subject to an adjustment based upon the average closing price of LCNB common shares for the 25 trading days prior to the effective date of the merger), or (iii) a combination of cash and LCNB common stock.  A First Capital shareholder’s election to receive cash or stock was subject to allocation procedures that ensured that no more than 50% and no less than 40% of the outstanding First Capital shares were exchanged for cash and that no more than 60% and no less than 50% of the outstanding First Capital shares were exchanged for LCNB common shares.  LCNB issued 888,811 shares of stock, valued at $12.4 million on the date of the merger, and paid approximately $7.8 million in cash to effect the merger.  At closing, the Company paid a successful effort fee of $250,000 to an investment banking firm in connection with the consummation of merger which was expensed in 2013.

The acquisition will be accounted for in accordance with applicable accounting guidance. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of First Capital will be recorded at estimated fair values at the acquisition date.  The excess of the estimated fair value of LCNB common shares issued and the cash proceeds paid over the net fair values of the assets acquired, including identifiable intangible assets, and liabilities assumed will be recorded as goodwill.  The results of operations will be included in the consolidated income statement from the date of the acquisition. Goodwill will be subject to an annual test for impairment and the amount impaired, if any, will be charged to expense at the time of impairment.

The estimated fair values of the assets and liabilities have not yet been determined.  The recorded amounts reflected on the historic financial records of First Capital as of the acquisition date include total assets of approximately $152 million, consisting primarily of net loans of $103 million and investments of $23 million. Recorded liabilities totaling approximately $137 million consisted primarily of deposits totaling $135 million.

LCNB Corp. 2012 Annual Report

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

Dear Shareholders:

We are proud to present to you the 2012 Annual Report for LCNB Corp. and our subsidiary LCNB National Bank. Your Bank concluded another successful year in its 135-year history. This year's report is titled, "Community Banks - The Economic Engine of local Communities". We believe that a strong a community bank is vital to the health of its community. Within this report you will find a summary of historical financial information, as well as, more detailed financials for those who like a more in-depth presentation.

Our bank was founded in 1877 to be the economic engine for Lebanon and surrounding Warren County. Like today, our founders and their community faced great uncertainty and needed a strong, stable financial institution to provide security and stimulus to the local economy. Throughout our history we cautiously and purposefully expanded into other communities to provide that same security and economic stimulus. Presently, we serve that role in eight counties with 31 offices. We strongly support the success of the communities we serve and strive to meet, not only economic needs, but quality of life needs, as well.

Since 2012 was a presidential election year there was a lot of uncertainty about what direction the country and our economy might take in 2013. Although the election is over there is still a lot of uncertainty about how the tax changes and the rising fiscal debt will affect the U.S. economy. The Federal Reserve's policy of maintaining low interest rates to stimulate economic growth has put pressure on banks' interest margins. Community banks still rely on that margin to generate a large percentage of total income. LCNB management has recognized the importance of generating non-interest income to supplement interest margin income. One area generating non-interest income, is the trust department and investment services, which contributed over $2.3 million during 2012, a 10% increase over 2011. The continued success of these departments is an important part of the future growth of LCNB.

The financial results for 2012 include a return on average assets of 1.02% and a return on average equity of 10.22%. Net income was $8.3 million, resulting in total basic earnings per share of $1.23. Total shareholders' equity increased $4 million from December 31, 2011 to December 31, 2012, an increase of 5.2%. Our capital remains in the "well capitalized" designation.

Although total net loans decreased by $8 million, commercial real estate loans increased by just over $11 million. Low interest rates in 2012 were reflected in robust mortgage activity. LCNB originated or refinanced $24 million of 1-4 family mortgages for consumers in 2012. Another $28 million of 1-4 family mortgages were originated and sold in the secondary market in 2012. Credit quality continued to improve in 2012. Net loan charge-offs were lower, totaling $.8 million compared to $1.8 million in 2011. Non-accrual loans and loans past due 90-days or more and still accruing interest totaled $2.4 million or 0.53% of total loans at December 31, 2012 compared to $3.7 million or 0.80% of total loans at December, 2011.

Despite low interest rates, deposits increased $8 million during 2012 to $671.5 million.

The winning formula for our bank continues to be maintaining a strong capital base; paying a regular dividend; strong underwriting of loans; and, pursuing robust earnings.

One major event in 2012 was the negotiation of the purchase of Citizens National Bank of Chillicothe. The negotiations resulted in a successful merger agreement signed on October 9, 2012 and closed on January 11, 2013. LCNB National Bank now has approximately $950 million in total assets and serves customers in eight counties with 31 offices. The LCNB Board and Management felt that the culture of both banks were very similar and the two banks would be stronger as one. As part of the merger agreement, John Kochensparger, Chairman of the Citizens National Bank Board, was offered a board seat with LCNB. John joined the LCNB Board on January 14, 2013. The remaining Citizens National Bank board members agreed to serve on an Advisory Board for 2013. The LCNB Board of Directors and management feel that measured growth is just one part of a strategy for the future success of LCNB.

In 2012 several projects were completed. The bank's phone system was upgraded with new equipment and enhanced connections between offices. As we expand, the importance of communication between our offices and with our customers become more critical in providing the best customer service. We continue to believe that answering each call to the bank with a highly trained employee, not a machine, is one key to excellent customer service. The ability for customers to apply for consumer loans online was added to our website as a complement to our online mortgage application. We have also redesigned our website for 2013. All of our offices participated in the St. Jude Home Giveaway in the first half of 2012 by selling tickets and staffing a telethon for a chance to win a brand new home in the Maineville area. This charitable event raised almost $650,000 to support the St. Jude Research Hospital's continued research for medical treatment and the care of severely ill children. The caring and generosity for others by our employees is a strength of LCNB.

Additional statistical data and information on our financial performance for 2012 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 shareholder information section on our website, www.LCNB.com or www.LCNBCorp.com.

The Annual Meeting for LCNB Corp. will be Tuesday, April 23, 2013 at 10:00 a.m. 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.

ACQUISITION [Abstract]

ACQUISITION

NOTE 19 – ACQUISITION

On October 9, 2012, LCNB and First Capital Bancshares, Inc. ("First Capital") entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger ("Merger Agreement") pursuant to which First Capital was merged into LCNB on January 11, 2013 in a stock and cash transaction valued at approximately $20.2 million.  Immediately following the merger of First Capital into LCNB, Citizens National Bank ("Citizens"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of First Capital, was merged into LCNB National Bank.  Citizens operated six full–service branches with a main office and two other facilities in Chillicothe, Ohio and one branch in each of Frankfort, Ohio, Clarksburg, Ohio, and Washington Court House, Ohio.  These offices became branches of LCNB after the merger. 

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the shareholders of First Capital common stock was entitled to elect to receive, for each share of First Capital Common Stock, (i) $30.76 in cash, (ii) 2.329 common shares of LCNB (subject to an adjustment based upon the average closing price of LCNB common shares for the 25 trading days prior to the effective date of the merger), or (iii) a combination of cash and LCNB common stock.  A First Capital shareholder's election to receive cash or stock was subject to allocation procedures that ensured that no more than 50% and no less than 40% of the outstanding First Capital shares were exchanged for cash and that no more than 60% and no less than 50% of the outstanding First Capital shares were exchanged for LCNB common shares.  LCNB issued 888,811 shares of stock, valued at $12.4 million on the date of the merger, and paid approximately $7.8 million in cash to effect the merger.  At closing, the Company paid a successful effort fee of $250,000 to an investment banking firm in connection with the consummation of merger which was expensed in 2013.

The acquisition will be accounted for in accordance with applicable accounting guidance. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of First Capital will be recorded at estimated fair values at the acquisition date.  The excess of the estimated fair value of LCNB common shares issued and the cash proceeds paid over the net fair values of the assets acquired, including identifiable intangible assets, and liabilities assumed will be recorded as goodwill.  The results of operations will be included in the consolidated income statement from the date of the acquisition. Goodwill will be subject to an annual test for impairment and the amount impaired, if any, will be charged to expense at the time of impairment.

The estimated fair values of the assets and liabilities have not yet been determined.  The recorded amounts reflected on the historic financial records of First Capital as of the acquisition date include total assets of approximately $152 million, consisting primarily of net loans of $103 million and investments of $23 million. Recorded liabilities totaling approximately $137 million consisted primarily of deposits totaling $135 million.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2012

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES [Abstract]

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.  The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and with general practices in the banking industry.  The financial results of Dakin are included as income from discontinued operations, net of tax, in the consolidated financial statements through the date of sale.

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

USE OF ESTIMATES

USE OF ESTIMATES

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.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash, balances due from banks, federal funds sold, and interest-bearing demand deposits with original maturities of three months or less.  Deposits with other banks routinely have balances greater than FDIC insured limits.  Management considers the risk of loss to be very low with respect to such deposits.

INVESTMENT SECURITIES

INVESTMENT SECURITIES

Certain municipal debt securities that management has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as "held-to-maturity" and recorded at amortized cost.  Securities not classified as held-to-maturity are classified as "available-for-sale" and recorded at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported in other comprehensive income, a separate component of shareholders' equity.  Amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts are recognized as adjustments to interest income using the level-yield method.  Realized gains or losses from the sale of securities are recorded on the trade date and are computed using the specific identification method.

Declines in the fair value of securities below their cost that are deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired and for which the Company does not intend to sell the securities and it is not more likely than not that the securities will be sold before the anticipated recovery of the impairment are separated into losses related to credit factors and losses related to other factors.  The losses related to credit factors are recognized in earnings and losses related to other factors are recognized in other comprehensive income.  In estimating other than temporary impairment losses, management considers the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") stock is an equity interest in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati.  It can be sold only at its par value of $100 per share and only to the FHLB or to another member institution.  In addition, the equity ownership rights are more limited than would be the case for a public company because of the oversight role exercised by the Federal Housing Finance Agency in the process of budgeting and approving dividends.  Federal Reserve Bank stock is similarly restricted in marketability and value.  Both investments are carried at cost, which is their par value.

FHLB and Federal Reserve Bank stock are both subject to minimum ownership requirements by member banks.  The required investments in common stock are based on predetermined formulae.

LOANS

LOANS

The Company's loan portfolio includes most types of residential and commercial real estate loans, consumer loans, commercial and industrial loans, agricultural loans and other types of loans. Most of the properties collateralizing the loan portfolio are located within the Company's market area.

Loans are stated at the principal amount outstanding, net of unearned income, deferred origination fees and costs, and the allowance for loan losses.  Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. The delinquency status of a loan is based on contractual terms and not on how recently payments have been received.  Generally, a loan is placed on non-accrual status when it is classified as impaired or there is an indication that the borrower's cash flow may not be sufficient to make payments as they come due, unless the loan is well secured and in the process of collection.  Subsequent cash receipts on non-accrual loans are recorded as a reduction of principal and interest income is recorded once principal recovery is reasonably assured.  The current year's accrued interest on loans placed on non-accrual status is charged against earnings. Previous years' accrued interest is charged against the allowance for loan losses.

Loan origination fees and certain direct loan origination costs are deferred and the net amount amortized as an adjustment of loan yields.  These amounts are being amortized over the lives of the related loans.

In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into off-balance sheet financial instruments consisting of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit.  Such financial instruments are recorded in the financial statements when they are funded.  The credit risk associated with these commitments is evaluated in a manner similar to the allowance for loan losses.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged to expense.  Loans are charged against the allowance for loan losses when management believes that the collectability of the principal is unlikely.  Consumer loans are charged off when they reach 120 days past due.  Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

The provision for loan losses is determined by management based upon its evaluation of the amount needed to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level considered appropriate in relation to the estimated risk of losses inherent in the portfolio.  Current methodology used by management to estimate the allowance takes into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, review of specific problem loans, historic categorical trends, current delinquency levels as related to historical levels, portfolio growth rates, changes in composition of the portfolio, the current economic environment, as well as current allowance adequacy in relation to the portfolio.  Management is cognizant that reliance on historical information coupled with the cyclical nature of the economy, including credit cycles, affects the allowance.  Management considers all of these factors prior to making any adjustments to the allowance due the subjectivity and imprecision involved in allocation methodology.  This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

The allowance consists of specific and general components.  The specific component relates to loans that are specifically reviewed for impairment.  For such loans, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan.  The general component covers loans not specifically reviewed for impairment and homogeneous loan pools, such as residential real estate and consumer loans.  The general component is measured for each loan category separately based on each category's average of historical loss experience over a thirty-six month period, adjusted for qualitative factors.  Such qualitative factors may include current economic conditions if different from the three-year historical loss period, trends in underperforming loans, trends in volume and terms of loan categories, concentrations of credit, and trends in loan quality.

A loan is considered impaired when management believes, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect all amounts due, including principal and interest, according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  An impaired loan is measured by the present value of expected future cash flows using the loan's effective interest rate.  An impaired collateral-dependent loan may be measured based on collateral value.  Smaller-balance homogenous loans, including residential mortgage and consumer installment loans, that are not evaluated individually are collectively evaluated for impairment.

PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT

PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT

Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.  Depreciation is computed on both the straight-line and accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally 15 to 40 years for premises and 3 to 10 years for equipment.  Leasehold improvements are amortized over the terms of the respective leases or the estimated useful lives of the improvements, whichever is shorter. Costs incurred for maintenance and repairs are expensed currently.

OTHER REAL ESTATE OWNED

OTHER REAL ESTATE OWNED

Other real estate owned includes properties acquired through foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure.  Such property is held for sale and is initially recorded at fair value, less costs to sell, establishing a new cost basis.  Fair value is primarily based on a property appraisal obtained at the time of transfer and any periodic updates that may be obtained thereafter.  The allowance for loan losses is charged for any write down of the loan's carrying value to fair value at the date of acquisition.  Any subsequent reductions in fair value and expenses incurred from holding other real estate owned are charged to other non-interest expense.  Costs, excluding interest, relating to the improvement of other real estate owned are capitalized.  Gains and losses from the sale of other real estate owned are included in other non-interest expense.

Other real estate owned also includes in-substance foreclosed properties, which are properties that the Company has taken physical control of, regardless of whether formal foreclosure proceedings have occurred.

GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired in a business combination.  Goodwill is not amortized, but is instead subject to an annual review for impairment.

Mortgage servicing rights on originated mortgage loans that have been sold are initially recorded at their estimated fair values.  Mortgage servicing rights are amortized to loan servicing income in proportion to and over the period of estimated servicing income.  Such assets are periodically evaluated as to the recoverability of their carrying value.

The Company's other intangible asset relates to core deposits acquired from the Sycamore National Bank acquisition consummated in 2007.  This intangible asset is amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life.  Management evaluates whether events or circumstances have occurred that indicate the remaining useful life or carrying value of the amortizing intangible should be revised.

BANK OWNED LIFE INSURANCE

BANK OWNED LIFE INSURANCE

The Company has purchased life insurance policies on certain officers of the Company.  The Company is the beneficiary of these policies and has recorded the estimated cash surrender value in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets.  Income on the policies, based on the increase in cash surrender value and any incremental death benefits, is included in other non-interest income in the consolidated statements of income.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Accounting guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy to prioritize the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value.  A financial instrument's level within the hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.  The three broad input levels are:

· Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the reporting date;

· Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and

· Level 3 - inputs that are unobservable for the asset or liability.

Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets in active markets,  quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices (such as interest rates or yield curves) that are observable for the asset or liability, and inputs that are derived from or corroborated by observable market data.

Accounting guidance permits, but does not require, companies 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 for the selected instruments are recorded in earnings.  The Company did not select any financial instruments for the fair value election in 2012 or 2011.

ADVERTISING EXPENSE

ADVERTISING EXPENSE

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and are recorded as a marketing expense, a component of non-interest expense.

PENSION PLAN

PENSION PLAN

Eligible employees of the Company hired before 2009 participate in a multiple-employer qualified noncontributory defined benefit retirement plan.  This plan is accounted for as a multi-employer plan because assets contributed by an employer are not segregated in a separate account or restricted to provide benefits only to employees of that employer.

STOCK OPTIONS

STOCK OPTIONS

The cost of employee services received in exchange for stock option grants is the grant-date fair value of the award estimated using an option-pricing model.  This estimated cost is recognized over the period the employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period.  The Company uses a Black-Scholes pricing model and related assumptions for estimating the fair value of stock option grants and a five-year vesting period.

INCOME TAXES

INCOME TAXES

Deferred income taxes are determined using the liability method of accounting.  Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the tax effects of temporary differences between the book and tax basis of the various balance sheet assets and liabilities and gives current recognition to changes in tax rates and laws.

Management analyzes material tax positions taken in any income tax return for any tax jurisdiction and determines the likelihood of the positions being sustained in a tax examination.  A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is "more likely than not" that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur.  The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination.  For tax positions not meeting the "more likely than not" test, no tax benefit is recorded.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

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 and warrants.  The diluted average number of common shares outstanding has been increased for the assumed exercise of stock options and warrants with the proceeds used to purchase treasury shares at the average market price for the period.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2012-02, "Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment."   The provisions of ASU No. 2012-02 permit an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative impairment test, as is currently required by GAAP.  ASU No. 2012-02 is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012.  As LCNB does not have any indefinite-lived intangible assets, other than goodwill, the adoption of ASU No. 2012-02 is expected to have no impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In October 2012, the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-06, "Subsequent Accounting for an Indemnification Asset Recognized at the Acquisition Date as a Result of a Government-Assisted Acquisition of a Financial Institution."  When a reporting entity recognizes an indemnification asset (as a result of a loss-sharing agreement with the FDIC or National Credit Union Administration) and a subsequent change in the cash flows expected to be collected on the indemnification asset occurs (as a result of a change in cash flows expected to be collected on the assets subject to indemnification), the reporting entity should subsequently account for the change in the measurement of the indemnification asset on the same basis as the change in the assets subject to indemnification.  Any amortization of changes in value should be limited to the lesser of the term of the indemnification agreement or the remaining life of the indemnified assets.  This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2012 and will be applied prospectively to new indemnification assets acquired and to changes in expected cash flows of existing indemnification assets occurring on or after the date of adoption.  As LCNB has not participated in any government-assisted acquisitions of other financial institutions, the adoption of ASU No. 2012-06 is expected to have no impact on its consolidated financial statements.

On February 5, 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, "Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income."  The provisions of this update require public and non-public companies to present information about reclassification adjustments from accumulated other comprehensive income in their annual financial statements in a single note or on the face of the financial statements.  Public companies, such as LCNB, must also provide this information in their interim financial statements.  This standard is effective prospectively for public companies for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012.

RETIREMENT PLANS

RETIREMENT PLANS [Abstract]

RETIREMENT PLANS

NOTE 13 - RETIREMENT PLANS

Prior to January 1, 2009, the Company had a single-employer qualified noncontributory defined benefit retirement plan that covered substantially all regular full-time employees.  Effective January 1, 2009, the Company redesigned the plan and merged it into a multiple-employer plan, which is accounted for as a multi-employer plan because assets contributed by an employer are not segregated in a separate account or restricted to provide benefits only to employees of that employer.  Employees hired on or after January 1, 2009 are not eligible to participate in this plan.

Effective February 1, 2009, the Company amended the plan to reduce benefits for those whose age plus vesting service equaled less than 65 at that date.  Also effective February 1, 2009, an enhanced 401(k) plan was made available to those hired on or after January 1, 2009 and to those who received benefit reductions from the amendments to the noncontributory defined benefit retirement plan.  Employees hired on or after January 1, 2009 receive a 50% employer match on their contributions into the 401(k) plan, up to a maximum company contribution of 3% of each individual employee's annual compensation.  Employees who received a benefit reduction under the retirement plan amendments receive an automatic contribution of 5% or 7% of annual compensation, depending on the sum of an employee's age and vesting service, into the 401(k) plan, regardless of the contributions made by the employees.  This contribution is made annually and these employees will not receive any employer matches to their 401(k) contributions.

Certain information pertaining to the qualified noncontributory defined benefit retirement plan is as follows:

Legal name	Pentegra Defined Benefit Plan for Financial Institutions
Plan's employer identification number	13-5645888
Plan number	333

The plan is at least 80% funded as of July 1, 2012 and 2011.  A funding improvement or rehabilitation plan has not been implemented, nor has a surcharge been paid to the plan.

Funding and administrative costs of the qualified noncontributory defined benefit retirement plan and 401(k) plan charged to salaries and employee benefits in the consolidated statements of income for the years ended December 31 were as follows (in thousands):

	2012		2011		2010
Qualified noncontributory defined benefit retirement plan	$	355		543		360
401(k) plan		275		290		277

The Company expects to contribute $125,000 to the qualified noncontributory defined benefit retirement plan in 2013.  The Company expects to contribute $249,000 to the 401(k) plan in 2013.  The Company's contributions to the qualified noncontributory defined benefit retirement plan do not represent more than 5% of total contributions to the plan.

The Bank has a benefit plan which permits eligible officers to defer a portion of their compensation.  The deferred compensation balance, which accrues interest at 8% annually, is distributable in cash after retirement or termination of employment.  The amount of such deferred compensation liability at December 31, 2012 and 2011 was $2,442,000 and $2,248,000, respectively.

The Bank also has a supplemental income plan which provides a covered employee an amount based on a percentage of average compensation, payable annually for ten years upon retirement. The projected benefit obligation included in other liabilities for this supplemental income plan at December 31, 2012 and 2011 is $476,000 and $436,000, respectively. The discount rate used to determine the present value of the obligation was 4.50% and 5.25% in 2012 and 2011, respectively. The service cost associated with this plan was $20,000 for 2012, $20,000 for 2011, and $18,000 for 2010.  Interest costs were $20,000, $21,000, and $19,000 for 2012, 2011, and 2010, respectively.

The deferred compensation plan and the supplemental income plan are both nonqualified and unfunded. Participation in each plan is limited to a select group of management.

Effective February 1, 2009, the Company established a nonqualified defined benefit retirement plan, which is also unfunded, for certain highly compensated employees.  The nonqualified plan ensures that participants receive the full amount of benefits to which they would have been entitled under the noncontributory defined benefit retirement plan in the absence of limits on benefit levels imposed by certain sections of the Internal Revenue Code.

The components of net periodic pension cost of the nonqualified defined benefit retirement plan for the years ended December 31 are summarized as follows (in thousands):

	2012		2011			2010
Service cost	$	89		111			174
Interest cost		43		35			32
Amortization of unrecognized (gain) loss		20		(28	)		(1	)
Amortization of unrecognized prior service cost		29		32			48
Net periodic pension cost	$	181		150			253

A reconciliation of changes in the projected benefit obligation of the nonqualified defined benefit retirement plan at December 31 follows (in thousands):

	2012		2011			2010
Projected benefit obligation at beginning of year	$	969		636			544

Settlements		-		(74	)		-
Curtailment		-		(44	)		-
Projected benefit obligation at end of year	$	1,153		969			636

Amounts recognized in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets for the nonqualified defined benefit retirement plan at December 31, 2012 and 2011 were $1,153,000 and $969,000, respectively.

The accumulated benefit obligation for the nonqualified defined benefit retirement plan at December 31, 2012 and 2011 was $854,000 and $609,000, respectively.

Amounts recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income at December 31 for the nonqualified defined benefit retirement plan consists of (in thousands):

	2012		2011		2010
Net actuarial (gain)/loss	$	125		103		(117	)
Past service cost		29		49		225
	$	154		152		108

The estimated amounts that will be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive income into net periodic benefit cost during 2013 for the nonqualified defined benefit retirement plan are (in thousands):

Net actuarial loss	$	25
Past service cost		29
	$	54

The measurement date used to determine the current year's benefit obligation for the nonqualified defined benefit retirement plan was December 31, 2012.

Key weighted-average assumptions used to determine the benefit obligation and net periodic pension costs for the nonqualified defined benefit retirement plan for the years ended December 31 were as follows:

	2012			2011			2010
Benefit obligation:
Discount rate		4.05	%		4.40	%		5.54	%
Salary increase rate		3.00	%		3.00	%		3.00	%
Net periodic pension cost:
Discount rate		4.40	%		5.54	%		5.92	%
Salary increase rate		3.00	%		3.00	%		4.00	%
Amortization period in years		2.98			6.92/3.48			7.90

The nonqualified defined benefit retirement plan is not funded.  Therefore no contributions will be made in 2012.  Estimated future benefit payments reflecting expected future service for the years ended after December 31, 2012 are (in thousands):

2013	15

BORROWINGS

NOTE 9 - BORROWINGS

Funds borrowed from the FHLB at December 31 are as follows (in thousands):

	Current
	Interest
	Rate		2012	2011
Fixed Rate Advances, due at maturity:
Advance due August 2012	1.99%	$	-	6,000
Advance due January 2015	2.00%		5,000	5,000

Advance due March 2019	2.82%		2,397	3,047
		$	13,705	21,373

All advances from the FHLB are secured by a blanket pledge of the Company's 1-4 family first lien mortgage loans in the amount of approximately $142 million and $147 million at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  Additionally, the Company was required to hold minimum levels of FHLB stock, based on the outstanding borrowings.  Total remaining borrowing capacity, including short-term borrowing arrangements, at December 31, 2012 was approximately $31.8 million.  One of the factors limiting remaining borrowing capacity is ownership of FHLB stock.  The Company could increase its remaining borrowing capacity by purchasing additional FHLB stock.

Short-term borrowings at December 31 are as follows (in thousands):

	2012					2011
	Amount		Rate			Amount		Rate
Line of credit	$	2,661		0.75	%	$	-		-	%
FHLB short-term advance		-					12,000		0.04	%
Repurchase agreements		11,095		0.10	%		9,596		0.10	%
	$	13,756		0.23	%	$	21,596		0.07	%

At December 31, 2012, the Company had short-term borrowing arrangements with three financial institutions and the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati.  The first arrangement provides that the Company can borrow up to $7 million in federal funds at the interest rate in effect at the time of the borrowing.  The second arrangement provides that the Company can borrow up to $10 million in federal funds at the interest rate in effect at the time of the borrowing.  The third arrangement is a short-term line of credit for a maximum amount of $20 million at an interest rate equal to the lending institution's federal funds rate plus a spread of 50 basis points.

Under the terms of the Cash Management Advance program with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati, the Company can borrow up to $39.4 million in short-term advances, subject to total remaining borrowing capacity limitations.  The Company has the option of selecting a variable rate of interest for up to 90 days or a fixed rate of interest for up to 30 days.   The interest rate on the Cash Management Advance program is the published rate in effect at the time of the advance.  This agreement expires on August 29, 2013.

Repurchase agreements are an option customers may use in managing their cash positions.  The repurchase agreements mature the next business day after issuance.  They are secured by U.S. Treasury, U.S. Agency, or government guaranteed mortgage-backed securities and such collateral securities are held by the Federal Reserve Bank.  The maximum amount of outstanding agreements at any month-end during 2012 and 2011 totaled $13,142,000 and $12,402,000, respectively.  The average balance during 2012 and 2011 was $11,390,000 and $11,029,000, respectively.

As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, approximately $1.7 million and $1.6 million, respectively, of the repurchase agreements outstanding were held by a company owned by a member of the Company's Board of Directors.

The Company uses a risk-rating system to quantify loan quality.  A loan is assigned to a risk category based on relevant information about the ability of the borrower to service the debt including, but not limited to, current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends.  The categories used are:

· Pass – loans categorized in this category are higher quality loans that do not fit any of the other categories described below.

· Other Assets Especially Mentioned (OAEM) - loans in this category are currently protected but are potentially weak.  These loans constitute a risk but not to the point of justifying a classification of substandard.  The credit risk may be relatively minor yet constitute an undue risk in light of the circumstances surrounding a specific asset.

· Doubtful – loans classified in this category have all the weaknesses inherent in loans classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

Of the $750,000 of interest income recognized on impaired loans during 2011, $8,000 was recognized on a cash basis.  During 2010, the Company recognized approximately $552,000 of interest income on impaired loans, none of which was recognized on a cash basis.  The Company continued to accrue interest on certain loans classified as impaired during 2012, 2011, and 2010 because they were restructured or considered well secured and in the process of collection.

Loan modifications that were classified as troubled debt restructurings during the years ended December 31 were as follows (dollars in thousands):

	2012				2011
	Number of Loans		Balance at Modification		Number of Loans		Balance at Modification
Commercial and industrial		-	$	-		5	$	2,718

Residential real estate		6		449		6		477
Consumer		2		20		3		11
		8	$	469		18	$	6,254

Each restructured loan is separately negotiated with the borrower and includes terms and conditions that reflect the borrower's ability to pay the debt as modified.  Modifications may include interest only payments for a period of time, temporary or permanent reduction of the loan's interest rate, capitalization of delinquent interest, or extensions of the maturity date.

LCNB is not committed to lend additional funds to borrowers whose loan terms were modified in a troubled debt restructuring.

Troubled debt restructurings that subsequently defaulted within twelve months of the restructuring date during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 were not material.

Approximately $200,000 of impaired loans without a valuation allowance and $258,000 of impaired loans with a valuation allowance at December 31, 2012 consisted of loans that were modified during 2012 and were determined to be troubled debt restructurings.  Approximately $5,358,000 of impaired loans without a valuation allowance and $832,000 of impaired loans with a valuation allowance at December 31, 2011 consisted of loans that were modified during 2011 and were determined to be troubled debt restructurings.

Mortgage loans sold to and serviced for the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation and other investors are not included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.  The unpaid principal balances of those loans at December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 were approximately $71,568,000, $67,410,000, and $70,705,000 respectively.

Mortgage servicing right assets are included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets.  Amortization of mortgage servicing rights is an adjustment to loan servicing income, which is included with other operating income in the consolidated statements of income.  Activity in the mortgage servicing rights portfolio during the years ended December 31 was as follows (in thousands):

The fair value of held-to-maturity investment securities, consisting of non-taxable and taxable municipal securities, approximates amortized cost at December 31, 2012 and 2011.

Information concerning securities with gross unrealized losses at December 31, 2012, aggregated by length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous loss position, is as follows (in thousands):

	Less than Twelve Months				Twelve Months or More
	Fair Value		Unrealized Losses		Fair Value		Unrealized Losses

	$	29,191		294		555		15

Management has determined that the unrealized losses at December 31, 2012 are primarily due to fluctuations in market interest rates and do not reflect credit quality deterioration of the securities.   Because the Company does not have the intent to sell the investments and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost, the Company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired.

Contractual maturities of investment securities at December 31, 2012 were as follows (in thousands). Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities when issuers have the right to call or prepay obligations.

STOCK BASED COMPENSATION [Abstract]

STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

NOTE 14 - STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

The Company established an Ownership Incentive Plan (the "Plan") during 2002 that allows for stock-based awards to eligible employees, as determined by the Board of Directors.  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.

Options granted to date vest ratably over a five year period and expire ten years after the date of grant. Stock options outstanding at December 31, 2012 were as follows:

		Outstanding Stock Options						Exercisable Stock Options
Exercise Price Range		Number		Weighted  Average  Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (Years)		Number		Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted  Average Remaining Contractual  Life (Years)
$	9.00 - $10.99		25,360	$	9.00		6.1		15,214	$	9.00		6.1

			110,586		12.42		6.4		55,309		13.36		5.0

The following table summarizes stock option activity for the years indicated:

	Year ended December 31,
	2012			2011			2010
	Options	Weighted  Average Exercise Price		Options	Weighted Average  Exercise Price		Options	Weighted Average  Exercise Price

Exercisable, end of year	55,309		13.36	66,709		13.69	41,770		14.78

During 2012, the Company received cash of $28,000 in connection with the exercise of 2,144 stock options.  The Company also paid approximately $6,000 to certain option holders in connection with the cancellation of 6,532 options.

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 December 31, 2012 that were "in the money" (market price greater than exercise price) was $228,000.  The aggregate intrinsic value at that date for only the options that were exercisable was $106,000.  The aggregate intrinsic value for options outstanding at December 31, 2011 that were in the money was $178,000 and the aggregate intrinsic value at that date for only the options that were exercisable was $71,000.  The intrinsic value changes based on changes in the market value of the Company's stock.

The fair value of options granted is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.  The following table shows the estimated weighted-average fair value of options granted and the assumptions used in calculating that value for the years indicated:

	2012			2011			2010
Estimated weighted-average fair value of options granted	$	2.80			2.09			2.27
Risk-free interest rate		0.84	%		2.84	%		3.34	%
Average dividend	$	0.64		$	0.64		$	0.57
Volatility factor of the expected market
price of the Company's common stock		39.56	%		27.37	%		28.32	%
Average life in years		6.5			6.5			7.0

Total expense related to options included in salaries and wages in the consolidated statements of income for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010 was $41,000, $45,000, and $40,000, respectively. Total compensation cost related to option awards to be recognized ratably through the first quarter of 2017 is approximately $88,000.

A total of 2,511 restricted shares were granted to an executive officer in February 2010 and vested in November 2010.  Until they vested, they were restricted from sale, transfer, or assignment in accordance with the terms of the agreement under which they were issued.  At the date of vesting, the shares were issued from treasury stock and, therefore, did not affect the number of securities remaining available for future issuance in the table above.  No restricted shares were granted prior to February 2010 or during 2011 and 2012.

REGULATORY MATTERS [Abstract]

REGULATORY MATTERS

NOTE 12 - REGULATORY MATTERS

The Federal Reserve Act requires depository institutions to maintain cash reserves with the Federal Reserve Bank.  In 2012 and 2011, the Bank maintained average reserve balances of $10,658,000 and $9,348,000, respectively.  The reserve balances at December 31, 2012 and 2011 were $6,438,000 and $4,371,000, respectively.

The principal source of income and funds for LCNB Corp. is dividends paid by the Bank.  The payment of dividends is subject to restriction by regulatory authorities.  For 2012, the restrictions generally limit dividends to the aggregate of net income for the year 2012 plus the net earnings retained for 2011 and 2010.  In addition, dividend payments may not reduce capital levels below minimum regulatory guidelines. At December 31, 2012, approximately $10,517,000 of the Bank's earnings retained was available for dividends in 2013 under this guideline.  Dividends in excess of these limitations would require the prior approval of the Comptroller of the Currency.

The Company (consolidated) and the Bank must meet certain minimum capital requirements set by federal banking agencies.  Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a material effect on the Company's and Bank's financial statements.  The Company's and Bank's capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.  For various regulatory purposes, institutions are classified into categories based upon capital adequacy.

Minimum capital requirements and capital levels needed to be considered well-capitalized at December 31, 2012 and 2011 are:

	Minimum Requirement	To Be Considered Well-Capitalized
Ratio of tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets	4.0%	6.0%
Ratio of total capital (tier 1 capital plus tier 2 capital) to risk-weighted assets	8.0%	10.0%
Leverage ratio (tier 1 capital to adjusted  quarterly average total assets)	3.0%	5.0%

As of the most recent notification from their regulators, the Company and Bank 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 Bank's category.

A summary of the regulatory capital of the Consolidated Company and Bank at December 31 follows (dollars in thousands):

	2012						2011

LCNB Corp. filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 with the SEC on July 27, 2011 to register 400,000 shares for use in its Amended and Restated Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan (the "Amended Plan").  Formerly LCNB purchased the shares needed for its Dividend and Stock Purchase Plan in the secondary market.  Under the Amended Plan, LCNB has the option of purchasing shares in the secondary market, using treasury shares, or issuing new shares.

On January 9, 2009, LCNB issued 13,400 shares of Fixed Rate Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series A and a warrant for the purchase of 217,063 common shares of LCNB stock at an exercise price of $9.26 per share to the U.S. Treasury Department.  LCNB allocated $583,000 of the proceeds from the preferred stock issuance to the warrant.  The warrant carries a ten year term and was 100% vested at grant.  On October 21, 2009, LCNB redeemed the preferred stock that had been issued under the Capital Purchase Program agreement, but did not redeem the warrant.  The Treasury Department sold the warrant to an investor during the fourth quarter 2011.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS [Abstract]

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

NOTE 17 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The majority of LCNB's financial debt securities are classified as available-for-sale.  The securities are reported at fair value with unrealized holding gains and losses reported net of income taxes in accumulated other comprehensive income.

The Company utilizes a pricing service for determining the fair values of most of its investment securities.  Fair value for U.S. Treasury Notes and corporate securities are determined based on market quotations (level 1).  Fair value for most of the other investment securities is calculated using the discounted cash flow method for each security.  The discount rates for these cash flows are estimated by the pricing service using rates observed in the market (level 2).  Cash flow streams are dependent on estimated prepayment speeds and the overall structure of the securities given existing market conditions.  In addition, the Company has invested in two mutual funds that invest in debt securities or loans that qualify for credit under the Community Reinvestment Act.  The investment in one of the mutual funds is considered to have level 1 inputs because it is publically traded in an active market and it publishes a daily net asset value.  The investment in the other mutual fund is considered to have level 2 inputs because, although its shares are not traded in an active market, an investor can have its interest in the fund redeemed for the balance of its capital account at any quarter-end assuming the fund is given a 60 day notice.  The investment in this Fund is carried at cost and approximates fair value.  Additionally, LCNB Corp. owns trust preferred securities in various financial institutions and equity securities in non-financial companies.  Market quotations (level 1) are used to determine fair value for these investments.

Assets that may be recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include impaired loans, other real estate owned, and other repossessed assets.  A loan is considered impaired when management believes it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  Impaired loans are carried at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan's existing rate or the fair value of collateral if the loan is collateral dependent, if this value is less than the loan balance.  When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or current appraised value, the inputs are considered to be level 2.  When an appraised value is not available and there is not an observable market price, the inputs are considered to be level 3.

Other real estate owned is adjusted to fair value upon transfer of the loan to foreclosed assets, usually based on an appraisal of the property.  Subsequently, foreclosed assets are carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value.  The inputs for a valuation based on current appraised value are considered to be level 2.

The following table summarizes the valuation of LCNB's assets recorded at fair value by input levels as of December 31 (in thousands):

The fair value of off-balance-sheet financial instruments at December 31, 2012 and 2011was not material.

Fair values of financial instruments are based on various assumptions, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows.  Therefore, the fair values presented may not represent amounts that could be realized in actual transactions.  In addition, because the required disclosures exclude certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments, any aggregation of the fair value amounts presented would not represent the underlying value of the Company.  The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of certain financial instruments:

Cash and cash equivalents

The carrying amounts presented are deemed to approximate fair value.

Investment securities

Fair values for securities, excluding Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal Reserve Bank stock, are based on quoted market prices, if available.  If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities and/or discounted cash flow analyses.  The carrying value of Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal Reserve Bank stock approximates fair value based on the respective redemptive provisions.

Loans

Fair value is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities, incorporating assumptions of current and projected prepayment speeds.

Deposits

The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts, and certain money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date.  The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

Borrowings

The carrying amounts of federal funds purchased, repurchase agreements, and U.S. Treasury demand note borrowings are deemed to approximate fair value of short-term borrowings.  For long-term debt, fair values are estimated based on the discounted value of expected net cash flows using current interest rates.

The following table summarizes the categorization by input level of the Company's financial assets and liabilities not recorded at fair value but for which fair value is disclosed at December 31 (in thousands):

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES [Abstract]

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NOTE 1 -                  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

LCNB Corp. (the "Company" or "LCNB"), an Ohio corporation formed in December 1998, is a financial holding company whose principal activity is the ownership of LCNB National Bank (the "Bank").  The Bank was founded in 1877 and provides full banking services, including trust and brokerage services, to customers primarily in the Southwestern Ohio area of Warren, Butler, and Clinton Counties and portions of Clermont, Hamilton, and Montgomery Counties.  LCNB completed the sale of its other operating subsidiary, Dakin Insurance Agency, Inc. ("Dakin") on March 23, 2011.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.  The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and with general practices in the banking industry.  The financial results of Dakin are included as income from discontinued operations, net of tax, in the consolidated financial statements through the date of sale.

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

USE OF ESTIMATES

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.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash, balances due from banks, federal funds sold, and interest-bearing demand deposits with original maturities of three months or less.  Deposits with other banks routinely have balances greater than FDIC insured limits.  Management considers the risk of loss to be very low with respect to such deposits.

INVESTMENT SECURITIES

Certain municipal debt securities that management has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as "held-to-maturity" and recorded at amortized cost.  Securities not classified as held-to-maturity are classified as "available-for-sale" and recorded at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported in other comprehensive income, a separate component of shareholders' equity.  Amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts are recognized as adjustments to interest income using the level-yield method.  Realized gains or losses from the sale of securities are recorded on the trade date and are computed using the specific identification method.

Declines in the fair value of securities below their cost that are deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired and for which the Company does not intend to sell the securities and it is not more likely than not that the securities will be sold before the anticipated recovery of the impairment are separated into losses related to credit factors and losses related to other factors.  The losses related to credit factors are recognized in earnings and losses related to other factors are recognized in other comprehensive income.  In estimating other than temporary impairment losses, management considers the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") stock is an equity interest in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati.  It can be sold only at its par value of $100 per share and only to the FHLB or to another member institution.  In addition, the equity ownership rights are more limited than would be the case for a public company because of the oversight role exercised by the Federal Housing Finance Agency in the process of budgeting and approving dividends.  Federal Reserve Bank stock is similarly restricted in marketability and value.  Both investments are carried at cost, which is their par value.

FHLB and Federal Reserve Bank stock are both subject to minimum ownership requirements by member banks.  The required investments in common stock are based on predetermined formulae.

LOANS

The Company's loan portfolio includes most types of residential and commercial real estate loans, consumer loans, commercial and industrial loans, agricultural loans and other types of loans. Most of the properties collateralizing the loan portfolio are located within the Company's market area.

Loans are stated at the principal amount outstanding, net of unearned income, deferred origination fees and costs, and the allowance for loan losses.  Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. The delinquency status of a loan is based on contractual terms and not on how recently payments have been received.  Generally, a loan is placed on non-accrual status when it is classified as impaired or there is an indication that the borrower's cash flow may not be sufficient to make payments as they come due, unless the loan is well secured and in the process of collection.  Subsequent cash receipts on non-accrual loans are recorded as a reduction of principal and interest income is recorded once principal recovery is reasonably assured.  The current year's accrued interest on loans placed on non-accrual status is charged against earnings. Previous years' accrued interest is charged against the allowance for loan losses.

Loan origination fees and certain direct loan origination costs are deferred and the net amount amortized as an adjustment of loan yields.  These amounts are being amortized over the lives of the related loans.

In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into off-balance sheet financial instruments consisting of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit.  Such financial instruments are recorded in the financial statements when they are funded.  The credit risk associated with these commitments is evaluated in a manner similar to the allowance for loan losses.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged to expense.  Loans are charged against the allowance for loan losses when management believes that the collectability of the principal is unlikely.  Consumer loans are charged off when they reach 120 days past due.  Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

The provision for loan losses is determined by management based upon its evaluation of the amount needed to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level considered appropriate in relation to the estimated risk of losses inherent in the portfolio.  Current methodology used by management to estimate the allowance takes into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, review of specific problem loans, historic categorical trends, current delinquency levels as related to historical levels, portfolio growth rates, changes in composition of the portfolio, the current economic environment, as well as current allowance adequacy in relation to the portfolio.  Management is cognizant that reliance on historical information coupled with the cyclical nature of the economy, including credit cycles, affects the allowance.  Management considers all of these factors prior to making any adjustments to the allowance due the subjectivity and imprecision involved in allocation methodology.  This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

The allowance consists of specific and general components.  The specific component relates to loans that are specifically reviewed for impairment.  For such loans, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan.  The general component covers loans not specifically reviewed for impairment and homogeneous loan pools, such as residential real estate and consumer loans.  The general component is measured for each loan category separately based on each category's average of historical loss experience over a thirty-six month period, adjusted for qualitative factors.  Such qualitative factors may include current economic conditions if different from the three-year historical loss period, trends in underperforming loans, trends in volume and terms of loan categories, concentrations of credit, and trends in loan quality.

A loan is considered impaired when management believes, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect all amounts due, including principal and interest, according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  An impaired loan is measured by the present value of expected future cash flows using the loan's effective interest rate.  An impaired collateral-dependent loan may be measured based on collateral value.  Smaller-balance homogenous loans, including residential mortgage and consumer installment loans, that are not evaluated individually are collectively evaluated for impairment.

PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT

Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.  Depreciation is computed on both the straight-line and accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally 15 to 40 years for premises and 3 to 10 years for equipment.  Leasehold improvements are amortized over the terms of the respective leases or the estimated useful lives of the improvements, whichever is shorter. Costs incurred for maintenance and repairs are expensed currently.

OTHER REAL ESTATE OWNED

Other real estate owned includes properties acquired through foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure.  Such property is held for sale and is initially recorded at fair value, less costs to sell, establishing a new cost basis.  Fair value is primarily based on a property appraisal obtained at the time of transfer and any periodic updates that may be obtained thereafter.  The allowance for loan losses is charged for any write down of the loan's carrying value to fair value at the date of acquisition.  Any subsequent reductions in fair value and expenses incurred from holding other real estate owned are charged to other non-interest expense.  Costs, excluding interest, relating to the improvement of other real estate owned are capitalized.  Gains and losses from the sale of other real estate owned are included in other non-interest expense.

Other real estate owned also includes in-substance foreclosed properties, which are properties that the Company has taken physical control of, regardless of whether formal foreclosure proceedings have occurred.

GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired in a business combination.  Goodwill is not amortized, but is instead subject to an annual review for impairment.

Mortgage servicing rights on originated mortgage loans that have been sold are initially recorded at their estimated fair values.  Mortgage servicing rights are amortized to loan servicing income in proportion to and over the period of estimated servicing income.  Such assets are periodically evaluated as to the recoverability of their carrying value.

The Company's other intangible asset relates to core deposits acquired from the Sycamore National Bank acquisition consummated in 2007.  This intangible asset is amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life.  Management evaluates whether events or circumstances have occurred that indicate the remaining useful life or carrying value of the amortizing intangible should be revised.

BANK OWNED LIFE INSURANCE

The Company has purchased life insurance policies on certain officers of the Company.  The Company is the beneficiary of these policies and has recorded the estimated cash surrender value in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets.  Income on the policies, based on the increase in cash surrender value and any incremental death benefits, is included in other non-interest income in the consolidated statements of income.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Accounting guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy to prioritize the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value.  A financial instrument's level within the hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.  The three broad input levels are:

· Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the reporting date;

· Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and

· Level 3 - inputs that are unobservable for the asset or liability.

Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets in active markets,  quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices (such as interest rates or yield curves) that are observable for the asset or liability, and inputs that are derived from or corroborated by observable market data.

Accounting guidance permits, but does not require, companies 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 for the selected instruments are recorded in earnings.  The Company did not select any financial instruments for the fair value election in 2012 or 2011.

ADVERTISING EXPENSE

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and are recorded as a marketing expense, a component of non-interest expense.

PENSION PLAN

Eligible employees of the Company hired before 2009 participate in a multiple-employer qualified noncontributory defined benefit retirement plan.  This plan is accounted for as a multi-employer plan because assets contributed by an employer are not segregated in a separate account or restricted to provide benefits only to employees of that employer.

STOCK OPTIONS

The cost of employee services received in exchange for stock option grants is the grant-date fair value of the award estimated using an option-pricing model.  This estimated cost is recognized over the period the employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period.  The Company uses a Black-Scholes pricing model and related assumptions for estimating the fair value of stock option grants and a five-year vesting period.

INCOME TAXES

Deferred income taxes are determined using the liability method of accounting.  Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the tax effects of temporary differences between the book and tax basis of the various balance sheet assets and liabilities and gives current recognition to changes in tax rates and laws.

Management analyzes material tax positions taken in any income tax return for any tax jurisdiction and determines the likelihood of the positions being sustained in a tax examination.  A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is "more likely than not" that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur.  The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination.  For tax positions not meeting the "more likely than not" test, no tax benefit is recorded.

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 and warrants.  The diluted average number of common shares outstanding has been increased for the assumed exercise of stock options and warrants with the proceeds used to purchase treasury shares at the average market price for the period.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2012-02, "Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment."   The provisions of ASU No. 2012-02 permit an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative impairment test, as is currently required by GAAP.  ASU No. 2012-02 is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012.  As LCNB does not have any indefinite-lived intangible assets, other than goodwill, the adoption of ASU No. 2012-02 is expected to have no impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In October 2012, the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-06, "Subsequent Accounting for an Indemnification Asset Recognized at the Acquisition Date as a Result of a Government-Assisted Acquisition of a Financial Institution."  When a reporting entity recognizes an indemnification asset (as a result of a loss-sharing agreement with the FDIC or National Credit Union Administration) and a subsequent change in the cash flows expected to be collected on the indemnification asset occurs (as a result of a change in cash flows expected to be collected on the assets subject to indemnification), the reporting entity should subsequently account for the change in the measurement of the indemnification asset on the same basis as the change in the assets subject to indemnification.  Any amortization of changes in value should be limited to the lesser of the term of the indemnification agreement or the remaining life of the indemnified assets.  This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2012 and will be applied prospectively to new indemnification assets acquired and to changes in expected cash flows of existing indemnification assets occurring on or after the date of adoption.  As LCNB has not participated in any government-assisted acquisitions of other financial institutions, the adoption of ASU No. 2012-06 is expected to have no impact on its consolidated financial statements.

On February 5, 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, "Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income."  The provisions of this update require public and non-public companies to present information about reclassification adjustments from accumulated other comprehensive income in their annual financial statements in a single note or on the face of the financial statements.  Public companies, such as LCNB, must also provide this information in their interim financial statements.  This standard is effective prospectively for public companies for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES [Abstract]

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

NOTE 11 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

The Company 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 include 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.  The Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit is represented by the contract amount of those instruments.

The Company offers the Bounce Protection product, a customer deposit overdraft program, which is offered as a service and does not constitute a contract between the customer and LCNB.

The Company 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 December 31 were as follows (in thousands):

	2012		2011
Commitments to extend credit:
Commercial loans	$	13,625		3,227
Other loans:
Fixed rate		4,602		1,391
Adjustable rate		1,238		2,099
Unused lines of credit:
Fixed rate		3,368		3,883
Adjustable rate		45,199		55,274
Unused overdraft protection amounts on demand and NOW accounts		9,665		9,810
Standby letters of credit		5,109		5,575
	$	82,806		81,259

Standby letters of credit at December 31, 2012 include a letter of credit in the amount of $80,000 to a company of which a member of LCNB's Board of Directors is a partner.

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 or agreement.  Unused lines of credit include amounts not drawn on 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 December 31, 2012 and 2011, outstanding guarantees of approximately $346,000 and $546,000, respectively, were issued to various types of businesses.  These guarantees generally are fully secured and have varying maturities.  In addition, the Company has a participation in four letters of credit securing payment of principal and interest on a bond issue.  The participation amounts at December 31, 2012 and 2011 totaled approximately $4.8 million and $5.0 million, respectively.  The letters of credit have a final maturity date of July 15, 2015, as extended.

The Company evaluates each customer's credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis.  The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company, 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.

The Company 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.
