Note 1 - Basis of Presentation
Substantially all of the assets, liabilities and operations of LCNB Corp. ("LCNB" or the “Company”) are attributable to its wholly-owned subsidiary, LCNB National Bank (the "Bank").  The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of LCNB and the Bank.

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, which have been reviewed by J.D. Cloud & Co. L.L.P., LCNB’s independent registered public accounting firm, in accordance with standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, as indicated by their report included herein and which does not express an opinion on those statements, have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods, as required by Regulation S-X, Rule 10-01.

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

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.

Results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2013.  These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, accounting policies, and financial notes thereto included in LCNB's 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC.

Note 2 – 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 the Bank after the merger.

Note 2 – Acquisition (continued)
Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, each shareholder 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.

The merger with First Capital was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting and, accordingly, assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and consideration paid were recorded at their estimated fair values as of the merger date, as summarized in the following table (in thousands):

(Continued)

Note 2 – Acquisition (continued)
The amount of goodwill recorded reflects LCNB’s entrance into a new market and related synergies that are expected to result from the acquisition and represents the excess purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired.  The goodwill will not be amortizable and is not deductible for tax purposes.  The core deposit intangible will be amortized over nine years using the straight-line method.

The following table details the acquired loans that are accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC 310-30 (in thousands):

Contractually required principal at acquisition
$ 103,456
Contractual cash flows not expected to be collected (nonaccretable difference)
(3,409 )
Expected cash flows at acquisition
100,047
Interest component of expected cash flows (accretable discount)
(1,148 )
Fair value of acquired loans
$ 98,899

In accordance with U.S. GAAP, there was no carryover of the allowance for loan losses that had been previously recorded by Citizens.

Direct costs related to the acquisition were expensed as incurred and are recorded in other non-interest expense in the consolidated statements of income.  During the first quarter 2013 LCNB incurred $1,055,000 in merger and acquisition integration expenses related to the transaction, including $496,000 in merger related costs and $559,000 for converting Citizens data processing system to LCNB’s system.

The results of operations are included in the consolidated income statement from the date of the merger.  The estimated amount of Citizens revenue and net income, excluding merger and data conversion costs, included in LCNB’s consolidated income statement for the first quarter 2013 was $1,260,000 and $393,000 respectively.

The following table presents unaudited pro forma information as if the merger with First Capital had occurred on January 1, 2012 (in thousands).  This pro forma information gives effect to certain adjustments, including purchase accounting fair value adjustments, amortization of the core deposit intangible, and related income tax effects.  It does not include merger and data conversion costs.  The pro forma information does not necessarily reflect the results of operations that would have occurred had the merger with First Capital occurred in 2012.  In particular, expected operational cost savings are not reflected in the pro forma amounts.

Management has determined that the unrealized losses at March 31, 2013 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 bases, which may be at maturity, the Company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired.

Note 4 – 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.

Note 4 – Loans (continued)
One residential real estate loan was modified and classified as a troubled debt restructuring in each of the three-month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 with a balance of $80,000 and $30,000, respectively, at the date of modification.

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.

A restructured automobile loan with a balance of $13,000 was charged off during the first quarter 2013, which was within twelve months of the loan’s modification date.  There were no other troubled debt restructurings that subsequently defaulted within twelve months of the restructuring date for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.

Note 9 - Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
LCNB 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 consolidated balance sheets.  Exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other parties to financial instruments for commitments to extend credit is represented by the contract amount of those instruments.

LCNB 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.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party.  At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, outstanding guarantees of approximately $346,000 were issued to developers and contractors.  These guarantees generally are fully secured and have varying maturities.  In addition, LCNB has a participation in four letters of credit securing payment of principal and interest on a bond issue.  The participation amounts at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 totaled approximately $5.0 million and $4.8 million, respectively.  The letters of credit have a final maturity date of July 15, 2015, as extended.

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

Capital expenditures include the construction or acquisition of new office buildings, improvements to LCNB’s offices, purchases of furniture and equipment, and additions or improvements to LCNB’s information technology system.

Note 9 - Commitments and Contingent Liabilities (continued)
Management believes that LCNB has sufficient liquidity to fund its lending and capital expenditure commitments.

LCNB and its subsidiary 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 10 – Regulatory Capital
The Bank and LCNB are required by regulators to meet certain minimum levels of capital adequacy. These 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 LCNB'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 capital leverage ratio supplements the risk-based capital guidelines.

For various regulatory purposes, financial institutions are classified into categories based upon capital adequacy.

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 Bank and LCNB 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 or LCNB's category.

Note 12 – Retirement Plans
LCNB participates in a noncontributory defined benefit retirement multi-employer plan that covers substantially all regular full-time employees hired before January 1, 2009.

Employees of LCNB also participate in a defined contribution 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 LCNB contribution of 3% of each individual employee’s annual compensation.  Employees hired before January 1, 2009 who received a benefit reduction under certain amendments to the defined benefit retirement plan 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 do not receive any employer matches to their 401(k) contributions.

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 three-month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 are as follows (in thousands):

Certain highly compensated employees participate in a nonqualified defined benefit retirement plan.  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.

Note 15 - Fair Value Measurements
LCNB measures certain assets at fair value using various valuation techniques and assumptions, depending on the nature of the asset.  Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value are assigned to one of three broad levels:

·
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.  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.

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

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

LCNB 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.  A third mutual fund invests in U.S. Government securities.  It is considered to have level 1 inputs because it is publically traded in an active market and it publishes a daily net asset value.  Additionally, LCNB owns trust preferred securities in various financial institutions and equity securities in various financial and non-financial companies.  Market quotations (level 1) are used to determine fair value for these investments.

Note 15 - Fair Value Measurements (continued)
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 fair value of off-balance-sheet financial instruments at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was 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 LCNB.  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.  These current rates approximate market rates.

Note 15 - Fair Value Measurements (continued)
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, which approximates market rates.

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.

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
LCNB Corp.
Lebanon, Ohio
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of LCNB Corp. and subsidiaries (“LCNB”) as of March 31, 2013, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.  These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters.  It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole.  Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of LCNB as of December 31, 2012, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein), and in our report dated February 25, 2013, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2012, is fairly stated in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $1,728,000 (total basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.23).  This compares to net income of $2,277,000 (total basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.34) for the same three month period in 2012.

On January 11, 2013, First Capital Bancshares, Inc. (“First Capital”), a one-bank holding company located in Chillicothe, Ohio, merged into LCNB.  Immediately following this merger, Citizens National Bank (“Citizens”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of First Capital, was merged into LCNB National Bank.  The acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method in accordance with applicable accounting guidance.  Accordingly, assets acquired and liabilities assumed were measured at their fair values as of the date of the transaction.  The excess of the estimated fair value of LCNB common shares issued and cash paid to First Capital shareholders over the net fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed was recorded as goodwill, which approximated $8.4 million.  The results of operations are included in the consolidated income statement from the date of the merger. Expenses for the first quarter 2013 include expenditures totaling about $1,055,000 for costs associated with the merger and converting Citizens’ data processing system to LCNB’s system.

Net interest income for the first quarter 2013 was $569,000 greater than results for the first quarter 2012 primarily due to the increased volume of average interest earning assets provided by the merger, partially offset by a decrease in the net interest margin.

The provision for loan losses for the first quarter 2013 was $66,000 less than for the same period in 2012.  Net loan charge-offs for the first quarter 2013 and 2012 totaled $182,000 and $256,000, respectively.  Non-accrual loans and loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest totaled $3,353,000 or 0.61% of total loans at March 31, 2013, compared to $2,411,000 or 0.53% of total loans at December 31, 2012.  Other real estate owned (which includes property acquired through foreclosure or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure and also includes property deemed to be in-substance foreclosed) and other repossessed assets decreased from $2,189,000 at December 31, 2012 to $1,687,000 at March 31, 2013 primarily due to the sale of commercial real estate property during the quarter.

Item 2.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)

Non-interest income for the first quarter 2013 was $171,000 greater than the comparable period in 2012 primarily due to increases in service charges and fees on deposit accounts primarily resulting from the merger and gains recognized on the sale of investment securities.  The increases were partially offset by a decrease in trust income due to the absence of one-time fees recognized in 2012.

Non-interest expense for the first quarter 2013 was $1,643,000 more than the comparable period in 2012 primarily due the recognition of $1,055,000 in costs related to the merger with Citizens.   Salaries and employee benefits, as well as a variety of other expense items, increased significantly due to the increased number of employees and offices resulting from the merger.  These expense increases were partially offset by a gain recognized on the sale of other real estate owned property during the quarter.

Net Interest Income
LCNB's primary source of earnings is net interest income, which is the difference between earnings from loans and other investments and interest paid on deposits and other liabilities.  The following table presents, for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, average balances for interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, the income or expense related to each item, and the resultant average yields earned or rates paid.

Net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis for the three months ended March 31, 2013 totaled $7,299,000, an increase of $578,000 from the comparable period in 2012.  Total tax-equivalent interest income increased $354,000 and total interest expense declined $224,000.

The increase in total interest income was primarily due to a $105.1 million increase in average total earning assets, partially offset by a 35 basis point (a basis point equals 0.01%) decrease in the average rate earned on earning assets.  The increase in average interest earning assets was primarily due to interest-earning assets acquired through the merger with First Capital.  The decrease in the average rate earned reflects a general decrease in market rates.

The decrease in total interest expense was primarily due to a 22 basis point decrease in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities, partially offset by a $68.0 million increase in average interest-bearing liabilities.  The increase in average interest-bearing liabilities was primarily due to a $75.0 million increase in average interest-bearing deposits primarily due to the merger, partially offset by a $7.6 million decrease in average long-term debt.  Long-term debt decreased because of the payment in full of a $6.0 million Federal Home Loan Bank advance in August 2012.  The decrease in the average rate paid on deposits also reflects a general decrease in market rates.

Item 2.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)

Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses
The total provision for loan losses is determined based upon management's evaluation as to the amount needed to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level considered appropriate in relation to the 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, and current economic conditions that may affect borrowers’ ability to pay.  The provision for loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was $149,000 and $215,000, respectively.  The decrease in the provision reflects a decrease in net charge-offs coupled with relatively stable regional market conditions.

The fair value of loans acquired through the merger was estimated by discounting at current rates the cash flows expected to be received on Citizens’ loan portfolio.  Since the estimation of cash flows recognized the probability that LCNB would not be able to collect all contractually required principal and interest payments, Citizens’ allowance for loan losses was not carried forward.

Non-Interest Income
Total non-interest income for the first quarter 2013 was $171,000 greater than for the first quarter 2012 primarily due to a $101,000 increase in service charges and fees on deposit accounts and a $207,000 increase in gains from sales of securities.  Service charges and fees on deposit accounts increased primarily due to a greater number of deposit accounts resulting from the merger.  The results also reflect a continuing downward trend in overdraft fee income and a continuing upward trend in check card fee income. Gains from sales of securities increased due to the sale of $22.8 million in securities in 2013, the fair values of which had benefited from the continuing decline in general market rates.  Approximately $29.6 million of securities with relatively lower unrealized gains were sold during the 2012 period.  Partially offsetting these increases was a $191,000 decrease in trust income primarily due to the absence of one-time estate fees recognized during the first quarter 2012.

Non-Interest Expense
Non-interest expense for the first quarter 2013 was $1,643,000 greater than for the first quarter 2012 due primarily to a $312,000 increase in salaries and employee benefits and a $1,142,000 increase in other non-interest expense.  The increase in salaries and employee benefits primarily reflects the additional staff needed to operate the six additional offices LCNB acquired as a result of the merger.  Other non-interest expense for the first quarter 2013 includes $1,055,000 in costs related to the merger and converting Citizens’ data processing system to LCNB’s system.  Partially offsetting the merger related costs in other non-interest expense for the 2013 period was a $274,000 decrease in net costs related to other real estate owned including a gain recognized in 2013 on the sale of commercial real estate property and a decrease in impairment write-downs.

Income Taxes
LCNB’s effective tax rates for continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 were 23.0% and 26.1%, respectively.  The difference between the statutory rate of 34.0% and the effective tax rate is primarily due to tax-exempt interest income from municipal securities and tax-exempt income from bank owned life insurance.
LCNB CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Item 2.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)

Financial Condition
The carrying values of loans, securities available-for-sale, premises and equipment, and deposits were greatly influenced by the merger.  See Note 2 to the Financial Statements for a description of the merger and a summary of the fair values of First Capital’s assets and liabilities added to LCNB’s consolidated balance sheet.

In addition to the merger, a $27.9 million increase in public fund deposits by local government entities was a secondary reason for the increase in total deposits.  Public fund deposits can be relatively volatile due to seasonal tax collections and the financial needs of the local entities.

Common stock in the shareholders’ equity section of the consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2013 was $12.4 million greater than the balance shown for December 31, 2012 due to the merger.  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.

Liquidity
LCNB depends on dividends from its subsidiary 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 Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Bank’s primary regulator, is 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 dividends to LCNB without needing to request approval.

Liquidity is the ability to have funds available at all times to meet the commitments of LCNB.  Asset liquidity is provided by cash and assets which are readily marketable or pledgeable or which will mature in the near future. Liquid assets include cash and cash equivalents, interest-bearing deposits in other banks, and securities available for sale.  At March 31, 2013, LCNB’s liquid assets amounted to $305.9 million or 32.3% of total assets.  Liquid assets at December 31, 2012 totaled $272.0 million, or 34.5% of total assets.

Liquidity is also provided by access to core funding sources, primarily core deposits in the bank’s market area.  Approximately 82.5% of total deposits at March 31, 2013 were core deposits, compared to 83.6% of deposits at December 31, 2012.  Core deposits, for this purpose, are defined as total deposits less public funds and certificates of deposit equal to or greater than $100,000.  The percentage of core deposits to total deposits decreased because of the growth in public fund deposits discussed above in relation to total growth in deposits.
Secondary sources of liquidity include LCNB’s ability to sell loan participations, borrow funds from the Federal Home Loan Bank, purchase federal funds, issue repurchase agreements, or use a line of credit established with another bank.

Management closely monitors the level of liquid assets available to meet ongoing funding needs.  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 as a result of the current liquidity levels.
LCNB CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES

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 Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis (“IRSA”) and Economic Value of Equity (“EVE”) analysis for measuring and managing interest rate risk.  IRSA 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 March 31, 2013 IRSA indicates that an increase in interest rates at all shock levels would have a positive effect on net interest income (“NII”). The changes in NII for all rate assumptions are within LCNB’s acceptable ranges.

IRSA shows the effect on NII 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 March 31, 2013 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.

Item 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks (continued)
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.


a)  Disclosure controls and procedures. The Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of LCNB's disclosure controls and procedures that ensure that information relating to LCNB required to be disclosed by LCNB in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to LCNB’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, in order to allow timely decisions to be made regarding required disclosures.  Based upon this evaluation, these officers have concluded, that as of March 31, 2013, LCNB's disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

b)  Changes in internal control over financial reporting. During the period covered by this report, there were no changes in LCNB's internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, LCNB's internal control over financial reporting.
