LCNB CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

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 and nine months ended September 30, 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 of Chillicothe ("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.
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 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.

Management believes that acquisition method adjustments are substantially complete at September 30, 2013.

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 nine months of 2013, LCNB incurred $1,326,000 in merger and acquisition integration expenses related to the transaction, including $603,000 in merger related costs and $723,000 for converting Citizens data processing system to LCNB's system.

Management has determined that the unrealized losses at September 30, 2013 are primarily due to fluctuations in market interest rates and do not reflect credit quality deterioration of the securities.   Because LCNB does not have the intent to sell the investments and it is more likely than not that LCNB will not be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be at maturity, LCNB does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired.

Loans acquired from the merger with First Capital are recorded at fair value with no carryover of the acquired entity's previously established allowance for loan losses.  The excess of expected cash flows over the estimated fair value of acquired loans is recognized as interest income over the remaining contractual lives of the loans using the level yield method.

Note 4 – Loans (continued)


Subsequent decreases in expected cash flows will require additions to the allowance for loan losses.  Subsequent improvements in expected cash flows result in the recognition of additional interest income over the then-remaining contractual lives of the loans.

Impaired loans acquired are accounted for under FASB ASC 310-30.  Factors considered in evaluating whether an acquired loan was impaired include delinquency status and history, updated borrower credit status, collateral information, and updated loan-to-value information.  The difference between contractually required payments at the time of acquisition and the cash flows expected to be collected is referred to as the nonaccretable difference.  The interest component of the cash flows expected to be collected is referred to as the accretable yield and is recognized as interest income over the remaining contractual life of the loan using the level yield method.   Subsequent decreases in expected cash flows will require additions to the allowance for loan losses.  Subsequent improvements in expected cash flows will result in a reclassification from the nonaccretable difference to the accretable yield.

Note 4 – Loans (continued)


LCNB 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 LCNB 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.

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 and nine months ended September 30, 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 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.

Note 9 – Commitments and Contingent Liabilities (continued)


LCNB 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 September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 are as follows (in thousands):

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.  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 September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, outstanding guarantees of approximately $445,000 and $346,000 , respectively, were issued to developers and contractors.  These guarantees generally are fully secured and have varying maturities.  At December 31, 2012, LCNB had a participation in four letters of credit totaling $4.8 million securing payment of principal and interest on a bond issue.  These letters of credit were terminated on July 11, 2013 .

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. Commitments outstanding for capital expenditures as of September 30, 2013 totaled approximately $ 100,000 .

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 leverage ratio supplements the risk-based capital guidelines.

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 pension and other employee benefits in the consolidated statements of income for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 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 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.

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, LCNB 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 publicly 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 owns trust preferred securities in various financial institutions, equity securities in various financial and non-financial companies, and a mutual fund that invests primarily in floating rate loans.   Market quotations (level 1) are used to determine fair values for these investments. The investment in the mutual fund is considered to have level 1 inputs because it is publicly traded in an active market and it publishes a daily net asset value.
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 September 30, 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 or other methods.  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.

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.

Note 16 – Subsequent Events

On October 28, 2013, LCNB and Colonial Banc Corp. (“CBC”), the holding company for Eaton National Bank & Trust Co. of Eaton, Ohio (“Eaton National”), signed a definitive stock purchase agreement whereby LCNB will purchase 100% of the outstanding stock of Eaton National from CBC for $24.75 million in cash. The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2014, subject to receipt of CBC shareholder approval, customary regulatory approvals, and the completion of an underwritten public offering of $25 million of LCNB voting common stock. Upon the consummation of the transaction, Eaton National will be merged into LCNB National Bank and its offices will become branches of LCNB National Bank.

Eaton National operates five full-service branches in Preble County, Ohio and has approximately $191 million in assets, $136 million in loans, and $168 million in deposits.

The underwritten public offering referred to above was completed on November 5, 2013, when LCNB issued 1,642,857 shares of its common stock at a price to the public of $17.50 per share. The net proceeds to LCNB after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses was approximately $27.1 million . LCNB intends to use the proceeds to fund the acquisition of Eaton National and the remaining amount will be used for general corporate purposes.

ASU No. 2013-01 was issued in January 2013 and clarifies that the scope of ASU No. 2011-11, "Balance Sheet (Topic 210):  Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities," applies to derivatives accounted for in accordance with Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, including bifurcated embedded derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions that are either offset in accordance with applicable accounting guidance or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement.  ASU No. 2013-01 is to be applied retrospectively and was effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods.  The adoption of this guidance, which involves disclosure only, will not impact LCNB's results of operations or financial position.  LCNB currently does not net its financial instruments on its balance sheets.

ASU No. 2013-04, "Liabilities (Topic 405):  Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date"
ASU No. 2013-04 was issued in February 2013 and requires an entity to measure obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of the guidance is fixed at the reporting date as the sum of (a) the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors and (b) any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors.  The entity is also required to disclose information about the obligation, including its nature and amount.  ASU No. 2013-04 is effective for public companies for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013.  The ASU is effective for nonpublic companies for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014.  The adoption of this guidance is not anticipated to have a material impact on LCNB's results of operations or financial position.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

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 September 30, 2013, and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for each of the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.  These interim financial statements are the responsibility of LCNB'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.

Results of Operations
Net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $2,357,000 (total basic and diluted earnings per common share of $0.31 and $0.30 , respectively) and $6,433,000 (total basic and diluted earnings per common share of $0.85 and $0.83 , respectively), respectively.  This compares to net income of $1,847,000 (total basic and diluted earnings per common share of $0.27 ) and $6,111,000 (total basic and diluted earnings per common share of $0.91 and $0.90 ) for the same three and nine-month periods in 2012.  Results for 2013 were significantly affected by the completion of a merger with First Capital Bancshares, Inc. and its subsidiary, Citizens National Bank of Chillicothe, on January 11, 2013.

Net interest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 increased $1,241,000 and $2,871,000, respectively, from the comparative periods in 2012 due primarily to the increased volume of average interest earning assets provided by the merger.

The provision for loan losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $258,000 and $373,000 less than the comparable periods in 2012.  Net loan charge-offs for the first nine months of 2013 and 2012 totaled $383,000 and $807,000, respectively.  Non-accrual loans and loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest totaled $2,857,000 or 0.50% of total loans at September 30, 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 $1,561,000 at September 30, 2013 primarily due the sale of commercial real estate property during the first quarter 2013.

Non-interest income for the three-month period in 2013 was $158,000 less than the comparable period in 2012 and $436,000 greater for the nine-month period. The three-month period was less primarily due to decreases in gains from sales of investment securities and mortgage loans, partially offset by increases in service charges and fees on deposit accounts. For the nine-month period, decreased gains from sales of investment securities and mortgage loans were more than offset by increases in service charges and fees on deposit accounts. The increases in service charges and fees were primarily due to a greater number of deposit accounts resulting from the merger.

Non-interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $599,000 and $3,236,000 greater than the comparable periods in 2012. 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. The nine-month period ended September 30, 2013 also includes $1,326,000 in costs related to the merger with Citizens National Bank that were recognized during the first and second quarters.  These expense increases during the nine-month period were partially offset by a gain recognized on the sale of other real estate owned property during the first quarter 2013.

Net interest income on a fully tax-equivalent basis for the three months ended September 30, 2013 totaled $7,792,000, an increase of $1,261,000 over the comparable period in 2012.  Total interest income increased $1,066,000 and total interest expense decreased $195,000.

The increase in total interest income was primarily due to a $113.4 million increase in average total earning assets, partially offset by a 5 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, partially offset by the recognition of accretable income resulting from the payoff of certain acquired credit impaired loans.

The decrease in total interest expense was primarily due to a 20 basis point decrease in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities, partially offset by an $78.3 million increase in average interest-bearing liabilities.  The increase in average interest-bearing liabilities was primarily due to an $73.2 million increase in average interest-bearing deposits primarily due to the merger and a $10.1 million increase in average short-term borrowings, partially offset by a $5.0 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.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013 vs. 2012.
The following table presents, for the nine months ended September 30, 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 fully tax-equivalent basis for the first nine months of 2013 totaled $22,788,000, a $2,923,000 increase from the same nine-month period of 2012.  Total interest income increased $2,277,000 and total interest expense decreased $646,000.

The increase in total interest income was primarily due to a $112.0 million increase in average total earning assets, partially offset by a 19 basis point 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, partially offset by the recognition of accretable income resulting from the payoff of certain acquired credit impaired loans.

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 $75.6 million increase in average interest-bearing liabilities.  The increase in average interest-bearing liabilities was primarily due to an $78.3 million increase in average interest-bearing deposits primarily due to the merger, partially offset by a $6.7 million decrease in average long-term debt.  Long-term debt decreased because of the previously described payment in full of a Federal Home Loan Bank advance in August 2012.  The decrease in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities reflects a general decrease in market rates.

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 September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $178,000 and $436,000 , respectively, and $369,000 and $742,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  The decrease in the provision reflects stabilization in the credit quality of the loan portfolio in part due to relatively stable regional market conditions.

LCNB CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES

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




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

Three Months Ended September 30, 2013 vs. 2012 .
Total non-interest income for the third quarter 2013 was $158,000 less than for the third quarter 2012 primarily due to a $369,000 decrease in net gains on sales of investment securities and a $94,000 decrease in net gains from sales of mortgage loans. The decreases reflect declines in the volume of investment securities and loans sold.

These decreases were partially offset by a $151,000 increase in service charges and fees on deposit accounts and a $96,000 increase in trust income.  Service charges and fees on deposit accounts increased primarily due to a greater number of deposit accounts resulting from the merger.  Trust income increased primarily due to an increase in the fair value of trust assets and brokerage accounts managed along with fee adjustments that became effective July 1, 2013.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013 vs. 2012.
Non-interest income for the first nine months of 2013 was $436,000 greater than the comparable period in 2012.  The increase was largely due to a $416,000 increase in service charges and fees on deposit accounts for substantially the same reasons mentioned above.  Net gain on sales of securities decreased $133,000 and net gains from sales of mortgage loans decreased $55,000 for substantially the same reasons mentioned above.

Non-Interest Expense

Three Months Ended September 30, 2013 vs. 2012.
Non-interest expense for the third quarter 2013 was $599,000 greater than for the third quarter 2012 due primarily to a $188,000 increase in salaries and employee benefits and a $220,000 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.  Equipment expenses and net occupancy expense increased slightly due to increased costs for the additional offices. FDIC insurance premiums increased due to a higher level of deposit accounts. Other non-interest expense increased due to smaller increases in various accounts.


Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013 vs. 2012.
Non-interest expense for the first nine months of 2013 was $3,236,000 greater than for the same period in 2012 due primarily to a $779,000 increase in salaries and employee benefits, a $119,000 increase in equipment expenses, a $287,000 increase in net occupancy expense, and a $1,897,000 increase in other non-interest expense.  Salaries and employee benefits, equipment expenses, and net occupancy expense increased for substantially the same reasons mentioned above.  Other non-interest expense for the nine-month period in 2013 included $1,326,000 in costs related to the merger and data system conversion. Increases in intangible amortization expense of $205,000 and other expenses associated with the operations of the newly acquired branches also contributed to the overall increase in other non-interest expense in 2013.

Partially offsetting these increased costs was a $265,000 decrease in net costs related to other real estate owned, including a gain recognized in the first quarter 2013 on the sale of commercial real estate property and a decrease in impairment write-downs and other holding costs.

Income Taxes
LCNB's effective tax rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 were 25.0% and 24.9%, 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 earnings 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 - Acquisition 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 $37.1 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 September 30, 2013 was $12.7 million greater than the balance shown for December 31, 2012 due primarily 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 subsidiaries 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 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 Corp. without needing to request approval.  The Bank is not aware of any reasons why it would not receive such 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 and securities available for sale.  At September 30, 2013, LCNB's liquid assets amounted to $286.0 million or 30.3% of total assets.  This compares to liquid assets totaling $272.0 million or 34.5% of total assets at December 31, 2012.

Liquidity is also provided by access to core funding sources, primarily core depositors in LCNB's market area.  Approximately 81.1% of total deposits at September 30, 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 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
Item 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks

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 September 30, 2013 IRSA indicates that an increase in interest rates 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 September 30, 2013 EVE analysis indicates that an increase in interest rates would have a negative effect on the EVE.  The changes in eve for all rate assumptions are within LCNB's acceptable ranges.

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.
