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

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated condensed financial statements include LCNB Corp. ("LCNB") and its wholly-owned subsidiaries: LCNB National Bank (the "Bank") and LCNB Risk Management, Inc., its captive insurance company. All material intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.

The unaudited interim consolidated condensed financial 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").  Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations.  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.

The consolidated condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 2018 has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet as of that date.

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, the 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 six months ended June 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2019 .  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 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC.

Accounting Changes
ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)"
ASU No. 2016-02 was issued in February 2016 and was adopted by LCNB as of January 1, 2019. It requires a lessee to recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments ("the lease liability") and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments. When measuring assets and liabilities arising from a lease, the lessee should include payments to be made in optional periods only if the lessee is reasonably certain, as defined, to exercise an option to the lease or not to exercise an option to terminate the lease. Optional payments to purchase the underlying asset should be included if the lessee is reasonably certain it will exercise the purchase option. Most variable lease payments should be excluded except for those that depend on an index or a rate or are in substance fixed payments.

A lessee shall classify a lease as a finance lease if it meets any of five listed criteria:
1.
The lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the lessee by the end of the lease term.
2.
The lease grants the lessee an option to purchase the underlying asset that the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise.
3.
The lease term is for the major part of the remaining economic life of the underlying asset.
4.
The present value of the sum of the lease payments and any residual value guaranteed by the lessee equals or exceeds substantially all of the fair value of the underlying asset.
5.
The underlying asset is of such a specialized nature that it is expected to have no alternative use to the lessor at the end of the lease term.

For finance leases, a lessee shall recognize in the statement of income interest on the lease liability separately from amortization of the right-of-use asset. Amortization of the right-of-use asset shall be on a straight-line basis, unless another basis is more representative of the pattern in which the lessee expects to consume the right-of-use asset’s future economic benefits. If the lease does not meet any of the five criteria, the lessee shall classify it as an operating lease and shall recognize a single lease cost on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation (continued)


LCNB adopted this update using a modified retrospective approach, as defined, and elected not to restate comparable prior periods. The update provides for a number of practical expedients that can be used to simplify the transition to the new standard. LCNB elected a package of practical expedients that allowed it to not reassess whether an existing contract is or contains a lease, to not reassess previous lease classifications, and to not reassess initial direct costs. LCNB also elected a practical expedient that allowed it to use hindsight when determining lease terms. LCNB did not elect a practical expedient that would have allowed it to not reassess certain land easements, as this expedient was not applicable to it.

LCNB has adopted an accounting policy election to not recognize lease assets and lease liabilities for leases with a term of 12 months or less. Lease expense for such leases will generally be recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Revenue Recognition
Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" provides that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance enumerates five steps that entities should follow in achieving this core principle. Revenue generated from financial instruments, including loans and investment securities, are not included in the scope of ASC 606. The adoption of ASC 606 did not result in a change to the accounting for any of LCNB's revenue streams that are within the scope of the amendments. Revenue-generating activities that are within the scope of ASC 606 and that are presented as non-interest income in LCNB's consolidated condensed statements of income include:

Fiduciary income - this includes periodic fees due from trust and investment services customers for managing the customers' financial assets. Fees are generally charged on a quarterly or annual basis and are recognized ratably throughout the period, as the services are provided on an ongoing basis.

Service charges and fees on deposit accounts - these include general service fees charged for deposit account maintenance and activity and transaction-based fees charged for certain services, such as debit card, wire transfer, or overdraft activities. Revenue is recognized when the performance obligation is completed, which is generally after a transaction is completed or monthly for account maintenance services.


Note 2 – Acquisition

On December 20, 2017, LCNB and Columbus First Bancorp, Inc. (“CFB”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Merger Agreement”) pursuant to which CFB merged with and into LCNB on May 31, 2018. Immediately following the merger of CFB into LCNB, Columbus First Bank, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CFB, merged into the Bank. Columbus First Bank operated from one full-service office located in Worthington, Ohio. That office became a branch of the Bank after the merger.

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the shareholders of CFB received two shares of LCNB common stock for each outstanding CFB common share. Unexercised stock options of CFB were canceled in exchange for a cash payment.

Note 2 – Acquisition (continued)


The merger with CFB 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. The estimated fair values reported in LCNB's Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2018 were preliminary, as the pricing study had not been finalized at that time. The following table summarizes the preliminary balances at June 30, 2018, revisions to the preliminary balances, and the balances at December 31, 2018 (in thousands):

As permitted by ASC 805-10-25, Business Combinations, the above estimated amounts could be adjusted up to one year after the closing date of the acquisition to reflect any new information obtained about facts and circumstances existing at the acquisition date. Any changes in the estimated fair values were recognized in the period the adjustment was identified. This adjustment period closed on May 31, 2019. There were no revisions during the first and second quarters of 2019.

The amount of goodwill recorded reflects LCNB's expansion in the Columbus 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 on LCNB's financial records and will not be deductible for tax purposes. 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 core deposit intangible will be amortized over the estimated weighted average economic life of the various core deposit types, which is approximately seven years.

Direct costs related to the acquisition were expensed as incurred and are recorded as a merger-related expense in the consolidated condensed statements of income.

CFB's results of operations are included in the consolidated condensed statements of income from May 31, 2018, the effective date of the merger.

Management has determined that the unrealized losses at June 30, 2019 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.

Note 4 – Loans (continued)


The risk characteristics of LCNB's material loan portfolio segments are as follows:

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 lines of credit.  Most commercial and industrial loans have a fixed rate, with maturities ranging from one to ten years .  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, hotels, multifamily (more than four-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.  The majority have adjustable interest rates with adjustment periods ranging from one to ten years, some of which are subject to established “floor” 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 global debt service, collateral value, financial strength of any and all guarantors, and other factors. Commercial real estate loans are generally originated with a 75% to 85% maximum loan to appraised value ratio, depending upon borrower occupancy.

Residential Real Estate Loans. Residential real estate loans include loans secured by first or second mortgage liens on one to four-family residential properties.  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 or less 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 the 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 generally requires private mortgage insurance for first mortgage loans that have a loan to appraised value ratio of greater than 80% .
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 collectibility 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 and 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 agricultural-related collateral.

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 as 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.
A breakdown of the loan portfolio by credit quality indicators at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 is as follows (in thousands):

Of the interest income recognized on impaired loans during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 , approximately $11,000 and $20,000 , respectively, were recognized on a cash basis.

From time to time, the terms of certain loans are modified as troubled debt restructurings ("TDRs") where concessions are granted to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties. The modification of the terms of such loans may have included one, or a combination of, the following: a temporary or permanent reduction of the stated interest rate of the loan, an increase in the stated rate of interest lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk, forgiveness of principal, an extension of the maturity date, or a change in the payment terms.

Note 4 – Loans (continued)


The total recorded investment in residential consumer mortgage loans secured by residential real estate that were in the process of foreclosure at June 30, 2019 was $375,000 .


Note 5 - Acquired Credit Impaired Loans

Loans acquired through mergers 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. 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 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.

All advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") of Cincinnati, both long-term and short-term, are secured by a blanket pledge of LCNB's 1-4 family first lien mortgage loans in the amount of approximately $283 million and $303 million at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively.  Additionally, LCNB is required to hold minimum levels of FHLB stock, based on the outstanding borrowings. Total remaining borrowing capacity at June 30, 2019 was approximately $87.4 million. One of the factors limiting remaining borrowing capacity is ownership of FHLB stock. LCNB could increase its remaining borrowing capacity by purchasing additional FHLB stock.


Note 8 - Leases

LCNB has capitalized operating leases for its Otterbein, Fairfield, Barron Street , and Worthington offices, for the land at its Oxford and Oakwood offices, and for certain office equipment. The Oakwood lease has a remaining term of seventeen years with options to renew for six additional periods of five years each. The Oxford lease has a remaining term of forty-one years with no renewal options. The other leases have remaining terms of less than one year up to six years , some of which contain options to renew the leases for additional five -year periods.

Right-of-use assets represent LCNB's right to use the underlying assets for their lease terms and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments. They are recognized using the present value of lease payments over the lease terms. The discount rate is LCNB's incremental borrowing rate for periods similar to the respective lease terms. LCNB management is reasonably certain that it will exercise the renewal options for the offices named above and these additional terms have been included in the calculation of the right-of-use assets and the lease liabilities. The lease for the Fairfield office is for a period of one year and LCNB management has elected the short-term measurement and recognition exception permitted by ASC 842 and has not calculated a right-of-use asset or lease liability for this office.

Note 10 - 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.

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

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.

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, residential realty, income-producing commercial property, agricultural property, and property, plant, and equipment.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party.  These guarantees generally are fully secured and have varying maturities.

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 June 30, 2019 totaled approximately $3,752,000 .

Management believes that LCNB has sufficient liquidity to fund its lending and capital expenditure commitments.

LCNB 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 – Retirement Plans
LCNB participates in a noncontributory defined benefit multi-employer retirement plan that covers substantially all regular full-time employees hired before January 1, 2009. Employees hired before this date who received a benefit reduction under certain amendments to the defined benefit retirement plan receive an automatic contribution of 5% or 7% of their annual compensation, depending on the sum of an employee's age and vesting service, into their defined contribution plans (401(k) plans), regardless of the contributions made by the employees.  These contributions are made annually and these employees do not receive any employer matches to their 401(k) contributions.

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.

Certain highly compensated former 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. This plan is limited to the original participants and no new participants have been added.

Note 13 – Stock Based Compensation
LCNB established an Ownership Incentive Plan (the "2002 Plan") during 2002 that allowed for stock-based awards to eligible employees, as determined by the Board of Directors.  The awards were made in the form of stock options, share awards, and/or appreciation rights.  The 2002 Plan provided for the issuance of up to 200,000 shares of common stock. The 2002 Plan expired on April 16, 2012. Any outstanding unexercised options, however, continue to be exercisable in accordance with their terms.

The 2015 Ownership Incentive Plan (the "2015 Plan") was ratified by LCNB's shareholders at the annual meeting on April 28, 2015 and allows for stock-based awards to eligible employees, as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Awards may be made in the form of stock options, appreciation rights, restricted shares, and/or restricted share units. The 2015 Plan provides for the issuance of up to 450,000 shares of common stock. The 2015 Plan will terminate on April 28, 2025 and is subject to earlier termination by the Compensation Committee.

Stock-based awards may be in the form of treasury shares or newly issued shares.

Note 14 – Earnings per Common Share
LCNB has granted restricted stock awards with non-forfeitable dividend rights, which are considered participating securities. Accordingly, earnings per share is computed using the two-class method as required by ASC 260-10-45. Basic earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net income allocated to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, which excludes the participating securities.  Diluted earnings per common share is adjusted for the dilutive effects of stock options, warrants, and restricted stock.  The diluted average number of common shares outstanding has been increased for the assumed exercise of stock options and warrants with proceeds used to purchase treasury shares at the average market price for the period.

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 from the sale of an asset in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The inputs to the 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.

Note 15 - Fair Value Measurements (continued)

Equity Securities With a Readily Determinable Fair Value
Equity securities with a readily determinable fair value are reported at fair value with changes in fair value reported in other operating income in the consolidated condensed statements of income. Fair values for equity securities are determined based on market quotations (level 1). LCNB has invested in two mutual funds that are traded in active markets and their fair values are based on market quotations (level 1). Investments in another two mutual funds are measured at fair value using net asset values ("NAV") and are considered level 1 because the NAVs are determined and published and are the basis for current transactions. One of the mutual funds measured at fair value using its NAV was sold during the first quarter 2019.

Debt Securities, Available-for-Sale
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 (loss). LCNB utilizes a pricing service for determining the fair values of its debt securities.  Methods and significant assumptions used to estimate fair value are as follows:

Fair value for U.S. Treasury notes are determined based on market quotations (level 1).
Fair values for the other debt securities are 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.

Assets Recorded at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
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.  These inputs are considered to be level 3.

Other real estate owned is adjus t ed to fair value, less costs to sell, 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.  Other repossessed assets are valued at estimated sales prices, less costs to sell. The inputs for real estate owned and other repossessed assets are considered to be level 3.

Note 15 - Fair Value Measurements (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 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.

Interest-bearing time deposits
Fair values are estimated based on the discounted value of expected net cash flows using current interest rates.

Equity securities without a readily determinable fair value
Equity securities without a readily determinable fair value are measured at cost, less impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer.

Investment securities, held-to-maturity
Fair values for investment securities, held-to-maturity are based on quoted market prices for similar securities and/or discounted cash flow analysis or other methods.

Federal Home Loan Bank stock and Federal Reserve Bank stock
The carrying value of Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal Reserve Bank stock approximates fair value based on the respective redemptive provisions.

Loans
The estimated fair value of loans follows the guidance in ASU 2016-01, which prescribes an “exit price” approach in estimating and disclosing fair value of financial instruments. The fair value calculation discounts estimated future cash flows using rates that incorporated discounts for credit, liquidity, and marketability factors.

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.

Accrued interest receivable and Accrued interest payable
Carrying amount approximates fair value.

Note 16 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements

From time to time the FASB issues an ASU to communicate changes to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The following information provides brief summaries of newly issued but not yet effective ASUs that could have an effect on LCNB’s financial position or results of operations:

ASU No. 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments"
ASU No. 2016-13 was issued in June 2016 and, once effective, will significantly change current guidance for recognizing impairment of financial instruments. Current guidance requires an "incurred loss" methodology for recognizing credit losses that delays recognition until it is probable a loss has been incurred. ASU No. 2016-13 replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology with a new current expected credit loss ("CECL") methodology that reflects expected credit losses over the lives of the loans and requires consideration of a broader range of information to inform credit loss estimates. The ASU requires an organization to estimate all expected credit losses for financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loans and held-to-maturity debt securities, based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Additional disclosures are required.

ASU No. 2016-13 also amends the accounting for credit losses on debt securities, available-for-sale, and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. Under the new guidance, entities will determine whether all or a portion of the unrealized loss on an available-for-sale debt security is a credit loss. Any credit loss will be recognized as an allowance for credit losses on debt securities, available-for-sale, rather than as a direct reduction of the amortized cost basis of the investment, as is currently required. As a result, entities will recognize improvements to estimated credit losses on debt securities, available-for-sale, immediately in earnings rather than as interest income over time, as currently required.

ASU No. 2016-13 eliminates the current accounting model for purchased credit impaired loans and debt securities. Instead, purchased financial assets with credit deterioration will be recorded gross of estimated credit losses as of the date of acquisition and the estimated credit losses amounts will be added to the allowance for credit losses. Thereafter, entities will account for additional impairment of such purchased assets using the models listed above.
ASU No. 2016-13 will take effect for SEC filers for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early application will be permitted for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018.

LCNB has created a cross-functional CECL Committee, which reports to the Audit Committee, composed of members from the lending, trust, and finance departments. The CECL Committee has selected a vendor to assist in implementation of and ongoing compliance with the new requirements. It has completed analyzing its data collection efforts, selected a calculation model, and is currently analyzing its pool segmentation and reporting mechanisms for adoption of the new methodology. The current plan is to parallel process the CECL methodology with LCNB's current methodology for the the third quarter 2019 analysis of the allowance for loan losses. While the committee and management expect that the implementation of ASU No. 2016-13 will increase the balance of the allowance for loan losses, they are continuing to evaluate the potential impact on LCNB's results of operations and financial position. The financial statement impact of this new standard cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

Note 16 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)

ASU No. 2017-04, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment"
ASU No. 2017-04 was issued in January 2017 and applies to public and other entities that have goodwill reported in their financial statements. To simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill, this ASU eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. In computing the implied fair value of goodwill under Step 2, an entity had to perform procedures to determine the fair value at the impairment testing date of its assets and liabilities, including unrecognized assets and liabilities, following the procedure that would be required in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Instead, under the amendments in this update, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. A public business entity that is an SEC filer should adopt the amendments in this update on a prospective basis for its annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Adoption of ASU No. 2017-04 is not expected to have a material impact on LCNB's results of operations or financial position.

ASU No. 2018-13, "Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement"
ASU No. 2018-13 was issued in August 2018 and applies to all entities that are required to make disclosures about recurring or nonrecurring fair value measurements. The amendments in this update modify fair value disclosure requirements, including the deletion, modification, and addition of certain targeted disclosures. The amendments are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. An entity is permitted to early adopt any removed or modified disclosures upon issuance of the update and delay adoption of the additional disclosures until the effective date. The amendments are to be applied on a retrospective basis to all periods presented upon adoption, except for certain amendments described in the update that are to be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. Adoption of ASU No. 2018-13 will not have a material impact on LCNB's results of operations or financial position.

ASU No. 2018-14, "Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans"
ASU No. 2018-14 was issued in August 2018. The amendments in this update modify disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans, including the deletion, modification, and addition of certain targeted disclosures. The amendments are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments are to be applied on a retrospective basis to all periods presented upon adoption. Adoption of ASU No. 2018-14 will not have a material impact on LCNB's results of operations or financial position.

ASU No. 2018-15, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract"
ASU No. 2018-15 was issued in August 2018 and applies to entities that are a customer in a hosting arrangement, as defined, that is accounted for as a service contract. The amendments in this update require an entity (customer) in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract to follow the guidance in Subtopic 350-40 to determine which implementation costs to capitalize as an asset related to the service contract and which costs to expense. Capitalized implementation costs are to be expensed over the term of the hosting arrangement. The amendments in this update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period. The amendments can be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. Adoption of ASU No. 2018-15 is not expected to have a material impact on LCNB's results of operations or financial position.

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




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 collectibility 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 collectibility 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.

The allowance consists of specific and general components.  The specific component typically 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.

Acquired Credit Impaired Loans. LCNB accounts for acquisitions using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be measured at their fair values at the acquisition date. Acquired loans are reviewed to determine if there is evidence of deterioration in credit quality since inception and if it is probable that LCNB will be unable to collect all amounts due under the contractual loan agreements. The analysis includes expected prepayments and estimated cash flows including principal and interest payments at the date of acquisition. The amount in excess of the estimated future cash flows is not accreted into earnings. The amount in excess of the estimated future cash flows over the book value of the loan is accreted into interest income over the remaining life of the loan (accretable yield). LCNB records these loans on the acquisition date at their net realizable value. Thus, an allowance for estimated future losses is not established on the acquisition date. Subsequent to the date of acquisition, expected future cash flows on loans acquired are updated and any losses or reductions in estimated cash flows which arise subsequent to the date of acquisition are reflected as a charge through the provision for loan losses. An increase in the expected cash flows adjusts the level of the accretable yield recognized on a prospective basis over the remaining life of the loan. Due to the number, size, and complexity of loans within the acquired loan portfolio, there is always a possibility of inherent undetected losses.

Accounting for Intangibles. LCNB’s intangible assets at June 30, 2019 are composed primarily of goodwill and core deposit intangibles related to acquisitions of other financial institutions. It also includes mortgage servicing rights recorded from sales of mortgage loans to the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation and mortgage servicing rights acquired through the acquisition of Eaton National Bank & Trust Co. and Columbus First Bancorp, Inc. Goodwill is not subject to amortization, but is reviewed annually for impairment.  Core deposit intangibles are being amortized on a straight line basis over their respective estimated weighted average lives.  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.

Results of Operations

Net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 was $4,728,000 (total basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.36) and $9,355,000 (total basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.71). This compares to net income of $2,738,000 (total basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.25) and $5,451,000 (total basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.52) for the same three and six month periods in 2018.

Net interest income on a fully taxable-equivalent basis for the three months ended June 30, 2019 totaled $13,701,000, an increase of $2,152,000 from the comparable period in 2018 .  Total interest income increased $3,720,000, partially offset by an increase in interest expense of $1,568,000.

The increase in total interest income was due primarily to a $3,959,000 increase in loan interest income caused by a $256.0 million increase in the average balance of LCNB's loan portfolio and by a 37 basis point (a basis point equals 0.01%) increase in the average rate earned on loans. Loans obtained through the merger with CFB were a significant component of the increase in average loans. Slightly offsetting the increase in loan interest income was a $333,000 decrease in interest income from non-taxable debt securities. The decrease in interest income from non-taxable debt securities was due to a $50.7 million decrease in average non-taxable debt securities, partially offset by a 9 basis point increase in the average rate earned. Decreases in debt securities were invested in the loan portfolio and used to pay down short-term borrowings.

The increase in total interest expense was primarily due to a $1,009,000 increase in interest expense for IRA and time certificates due to a $104.8 million increase in the average balance on such certificates and to a 75 basis point market-driven increase in the average rates paid. Interest expense for savings deposits increased $359,000 primarily due to a 21 basis point increase in the average rate paid for these deposits Interest expense for long-term debt increase $205,000 due primarily to a $29.3 million increase in average debt outstanding and secondarily to a 53 basis point increase in the average rate paid. Deposits and long-term debt obtained through the merger with CFB were a significant component of the increase in average total interest-bearing liabilities.

Net interest income on a fully taxable-equivalent basis for the six months ended June 30, 2019 totaled $27,236,000, an increase of $5,312,000 from the comparable period in 2018 .  Total interest income increased $8,648,000, partially offset by an increase in interest expense of $3,336,000.

The increase in total interest income was due primarily to a $9,084,000 increase in loan interest income caused by a $305.6 million increase in the average balance of the loan portfolio and by a 38 basis point increase in the average rate earned on loans. Loans obtained through the merger with CFB were a significant component of the increase in average loans. Slightly offsetting the increase in loan interest income was a $536,000 decrease in interest income from non-taxable debt securities due to a $40.7 million decrease in average non-taxable debt securities, partially offset by 6 basis point increase in the average rate earned. Decreases in debt securities were invested in the loan portfolio.

The increase in total interest expense was due to increases in all line items due to increases in average balances and market-driven increases in average rates paid. Total average interest-bearing liabilities increased $183.0 million and the average rate paid on total interest-bearing liabilities increased 55 basis points. Deposits and long-term debt obtained through the merger with CFB were a significant component of the increase in average total interest-bearing liabilities.

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 (credit) for loan losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 was $54,000 and $(51,000), respectively, as compared to a provision of $224,000 and $303,000 for the comparable periods in 2018 . Net charge-offs (recoveries) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 was $68,000 and $(117,000), respectively, as compared to net charge-offs of $150,000 and $103,000 for the comparable periods in 2018 .

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




Reasons for increases and decreases include:
Salaries and employee benefits increased 21.7% and 22.8% for the respective three and six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the same periods in 2018. The increase was primarily due to salary and wage increases, newly hired employees, and CFB employees retained. Full-time equivalent employees at June 30, 2019 totaled 355, compared with 344 full-time equivalent employees at Jun 30, 2018.
State financial institutions tax expense increased due to a larger capital base (Ohio financial institutions tax is based on capital, not income), largely caused by stock issued to CFB stockholders as merger consideration.
Marketing increased primarily due to promotion costs for new checking products introduced during 2018 and expanded use of broadcast and digital media.
Amortization of intangibles increased due to amortization of the core deposit intangible recognized as part of the acquisition accounting for CFB.
Contracted services increased due to additional fees paid for loan and deposit system upgrades and improvements and to general price increases on other contracted services.
Other real estate owned expense increased due to an impairment charge recognized during the second quarter 2019.
Merger-related expenses during the 2019 and 2018 periods are due to the acquisition of CFB.
Other non-interest expense decreased due to the absence of a $645,000 impairment charge recognized on one of LCNB's office buildings during the second quarter 2018.

Income Taxes

LCNB's effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 were 17.1% and 17.0%, respectively, compared to 15.1% for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 .  The difference between the statutory rate of 21% and the effective tax rates is primarily due to tax-exempt interest income from municipal securities, tax-exempt earnings from bank owned life insurance, tax-exempt earnings from LCNB Risk Management, Inc., and tax credits and losses related to investments in affordable housing tax credit limited partnerships. The effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 were greater than the comparable periods in 2018 due to a lower volume of tax-exempt municipal securities.

Reasons for increases and decreases include:
Interest-bearing time deposits were obtained through the merger with CFB. This line item represents certificates of deposit with individual balances of less than $250,000 invested in various financial institutions. Management has decided not to renew matured certificates.
Debt securities, available-for-sale, decreased due to sales of securities with a total book value of $50.3 million and maturities and calls of securities totaling $7.1 million. These decreases were partially offset by the purchase of new securities totaling $12.3 million and by a net increase in fair values totaling $5.9 million. The net funds received were invested in the loan portfolio and used to help pay down short-term borrowings and long-term debt.
Federal Home Loan Bank stock increased due to the purchase of additional shares.
Net loans increased due to organic growth in the loan portfolio.

LCNB CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES

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





LCNB adopted ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)" on January 1, 2019 and recorded operating lease right-of-use assets representing its right to use the underlying assets for the terms of the leases and an operating leases liability representing its liability to make lease payments. See Note 1 -Basis of Presentation - Accounting Changes and Note 8 - Leases for more information.
Core deposit and other intangibles decreased due to amortization of core deposit intangibles.
Total deposits increased largely due to a $47.0 million increase in public fund deposits by local government entities. Public fund deposits can be relatively volatile due to seasonal tax collections and the financial needs of the local entities. Historically, these deposits tend to be at their lowest balances at year-ends.
The decrease in short-term borrowings was funded primarily by the increase in total deposits and the decrease in debt securities, available-for-sale.
Long-term debt decreased due to payoffs of matured debt. There were no new borrowings during the first half of 2019.
Total shareholders' equity increased primarily due to earnings retained during the first half of 2019 and to a $4.7 million decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of taxes caused by market-driven increases in the fair value of LCNB's debt security investments. These increases were partially offset by the purchase of new treasury shares and dividends paid to shareholders.

Regulatory Capital

LCNB (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. LCNB’s and the Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

A rule requiring a Capital Conservation Buffer began phase-in on January 1, 2016 and was fully implemented at the beginning of 2019. Under the fully-implemented rule, a financial institution needs to maintain a Capital Conservation Buffer composed of Common Equity Tier 1 Capital of at least 2.5% above its minimum risk-weighted capital requirements to avoid limitations on its ability to make capital distributions, including dividend payments to shareholders and certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers. A financial institution with a buffer below 2.5% is subject to increasingly stringent limitations on capital distributions as the buffer approaches zero.

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

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.

Risk-weighted capital ratios decreased due to changes made in LCNB's balance sheet during 2019. As previously discussed, management reduced investments in debt securities, available-for-sale, and used the funds to finance loan growth. In general, the government, government agency, and municipal debt securities that comprise the majority of LCNB's investments tend to have lower risk weights than loans and, as a result, the denominators for the ratios increased.

Liquidity

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 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.  The Bank is not aware of any reasons why it would not receive such approval, if required.

Effective liquidity management ensures that cash is available to meet the cash flow needs of borrowers and depositors, as well as meeting LCNB's operating cash needs. Primary funding sources include customer deposits with the Bank, short-term and long-term borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank, short-term line of credit arrangements totaling $40.0 million with two correspondent banks, and interest and repayments received from LCNB's loan and investment portfolios.

Total remaining borrowing capacity with the Federal Home Loan Bank at June 30, 2019 was approximately $87.4 million. One of the factors limiting remaining borrowing capacity is ownership of FHLB stock. LCNB could increase its borrowing capacity by purchasing additional FHLB stock. In addition, additional borrowings of approximately $40.0 million were available through the line of credit arrangements at quarter-end.

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 current liquidity levels.

LCNB CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Item 3.
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 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 ("NII") during a one-year period of instantaneous and sustained movements in interest rates, also called interest rate shocks, of 100, 200, 300, and 400 basis points.  Management considers the results of any significant downward scenarios of more than 100 basis points to not be meaningful in the current interest rate environment.  The base projection uses a current interest rate scenario.  As shown below, the June 30, 2019 IRSA indicates that an increase in interest rates will have a positive effect on NII and a 100 basis point decrease in interest rates will have a negative effect on 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 June 30, 2019 EVE analysis indicates that an increase in interest rates will have a positive effect on the EVE and a 100 basis point decrease in interest rates will have a negative effect on the EVE.  The changes in the 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.

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 and 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 June 30, 2019 , 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.

LCNB CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Item 1.
Legal Proceedings

Except for routine litigation incidental to its business, LCNB is not a party to any material pending legal proceedings and none of its property is the subject of any material proceedings.

Item 1A.
Risk Factors

No material changes.

Item 2.
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

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

On April 24, 2019, LCNB's Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program (the “Program”). Under the terms of the Program, LCNB is authorized to repurchase up to 500,000 of its outstanding common shares. The Program is authorized to last no longer than five years. The Program replaced and superseded LCNB’s prior share repurchase programs, the “Market Repurchase Program” and the “Private Sale Repurchase Program,” which were adopted in April 2001.

Under the Program, LCNB may purchase common shares through various means such as open market transactions, including block purchases, and privately negotiated transactions. The number of shares repurchased and the timing, manner, price and amount of any repurchases will be determined at LCNB's discretion. Factors include, but are not limited to, share price, trading volume and general market conditions, along with LCNB’s general business conditions. The Program may be suspended or discontinued at any time and does not obligate LCNB to acquire any specific number of its common shares.

As part of the Program, LCNB entered into a trading plan adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The 10b5-1 trading plan permits common shares to be repurchased at times that LCNB might otherwise be precluded from doing so under insider trading laws or self-imposed trading restrictions. The 10b5-1 trading plan is administered by an independent broker and is subject to price, market volume and timing restrictions.

The following table sets forth information relating to repurchases made under the Program during the three months ended June 30, 2019, which were the only shares repurchased during 2019:
