NOTE 23 - SEGMENT INFORMATION

LCNB has one reportable segment which is determined by the members of the executive team, who, as a group, act as the designated chief operating decision makers, based upon information provided about LCNB's products and services offered, primarily banking operations. The segment is also distinguished by the level of information provided to the chief operating decision makers, who use such information to review performance of various components of the business, such as branches, which are then aggregated if operating performance, products and services, and customers are similar. The chief operating decision makers will evaluate the financial performance of LCNB's business components by evaluating revenue streams, significant expenses, and budget to actual results in assessing LCNB's segment and in determining the allocation of resources. The chief operating decision makers use revenue streams to evaluate product pricing and significant expenses to assess performance and evaluate return on assets. The chief operating decision makers use consolidated net income to benchmark LCNB against its competitors. The benchmarking analysis coupled with monitoring of budget to actual results are used in assessing performance and in establishing compensation. Loans, investments, and deposits provide the revenues in the banking operation. Interest expense, provisions for credit losses, and payroll provide the significant expenses in the banking operation. All operations are domestic.

Accounting policies for the reportable segment are the same as those described in Note 1. Segment performance is evaluated using consolidated net income.
