LCNB Corp. and Subsidiaries

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)



Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

Substantially all of the assets, liabilities and operations of LCNB Corp. ("LCNB") are attributable to its wholly owned subsidiaries, Lebanon Citizens National Bank ("Lebanon Citizens") and Dakin Insurance Agency, Inc. ("Dakin").  The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of LCNB, Lebanon Citizens, and Dakin.


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, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2006.  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 2005 Form 10-K filed with the SEC.



Note 2 - Acquisition

On May 31, 2006, Dakin purchased the existing book of business of Altemeier Oliver & Company Agency, Inc. (“AOC”), an independent insurance agency located in Blue Ash, Ohio. The acquisition of AOC was accounted for using the purchase accounting method and the results of operations of AOC have been included in the consolidated financial statements of LCNB since the acquisition date.  The acquired assets consisted solely of a customer list intangible asset. This intangible asset will be amortized on a straight-line basis over a ten year period.

Note 3 - Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings per share is adjusted for the dilutive effects of stock options.  The diluted average number of common shares outstanding has been increased for the assumed exercise of stock options with proceeds used to purchase treasury shares at the average market price for the period.  The computations were as follows for the three and nine months ended September 30 (dollars in thousands, except share and per share data):

Note 4 -  Investment Securities (continued)

The decline in fair values is primarily due to increases in market interest rates.  Unrealized losses on securities at September 30, 2006 have not been recognized into income currently because management has the intent and ability to hold the securities for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair values.  Therefore, no individual declines are deemed to be other than temporary.

Note 5 - Loans (continued)

Charge-offs for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 consisted primarily of consumer loans, and checking and NOW account overdrafts, but also included some residential and commercial real estate loans.  Charge-offs for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 consisted primarily of checking and NOW account overdrafts and consumer loans.  


Non-accrual, past-due, and restructured loans as of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 were as follows (thousands):

Non-accrual loans at September 30, 2006 consisted of one loan secured by farmland, one real estate mortgage loan, and one commercial loan.  Non-accrual loans at December 31, 2005 consisted of two real estate mortgage loans.  Loans past-due 90 days or more and still accruing interest at September 30, 2006 consisted of one real estate mortgage loan and consumer loans.  Loans past-due 90 days or more at December 31, 2005 consisted primarily of consumer loans.  


Restructured loans at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 include a commercial loan secured by a combination of mortgages and other collateral.  The principal balance of this loan at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 was $1,262,000 and $1,717,000, respectively.  The reduction in the balance as of September 30, 2006 is due to principal payments received.  Restructured loans at September 30, 2006 include two additional commercial loans to a single borrower that are secured by commercial real estate.  


Real estate acquired through foreclosure was $752,000 and $85,000 at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively, and is included in “other assets” in the consolidated balance sheets.  Real estate acquired at September 30, 2006 consisted of one single-family residential home.  Real estate acquired at December 31, 2005 consisted of two single-family residential homes that were sold in 2006.


Mortgage loans sold to and serviced for the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC") are not included in the accompanying balance sheets.  The unpaid principal balances of those loans at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 were $43,762,000 and $46,244,000, respectively.  Loans sold to the FHLMC during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 totaled $346,000 and $2,471,000, respectively, and $2,847,000 and $5,643,000 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, respectively.

Note 6 – Long-Term Debt and Other Borrowings

On March 31, 2006, a $2 million advance from the Federal Home Loan Bank, bearing an interest rate of 5.54%, matured and was paid in full by LCNB.


At September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, accrued interest and other liabilities included U.S. Treasury demand note borrowings of approximately $1,952,000 and $1,031,000, respectively.  The interest rate on these borrowings is variable and was 5.10% and 4.00% at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively.



Note 7 – Regulatory Capital

Lebanon Citizens 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 ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets must be at least 4.0% and the ratio of Total capital (Tier 1 capital plus Tier 2 capital) to risk-weighted assets must be at least 8.0%.  The capital leverage ratio supplements the risk-based capital guidelines. Banks are required to maintain a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to adjusted quarterly average total assets of 3.0%.


For various regulatory purposes, financial institutions are classified into categories based upon capital adequacy.  The highest "well-capitalized" category requires capital ratios of at least 10% for total risk-based, 6% for Tier 1 risk-based, and 5% for leverage.  As of the most recent notification from their regulators, Lebanon Citizens 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 Lebanon Citizens' or LCNB's category.  A summary of the regulatory capital and capital ratios of LCNB follows:

Note 8 - 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 included commitments to extend credit and stand-by letters of 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 and stand-by letters of credit is represented by the contract amount of those instruments.


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, 2006 and December 31, 2005 were as follows (thousands):

Note 8 – Commitments and Contingent Liabilities (continued)

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.  They include amounts not drawn on line of credit loans, commitments to make new loans, and unused overdraft protection amounts on demand and NOW accounts.  Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses.  At September 30, 2006, $19,956,000 of such commitments were for fixed rate products and unused overdraft protection amounts and $73,936,000 were for adjustable rate products.  


Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party.  At September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, outstanding guarantees of $1,705,000 and $1,892,000, respectively, were issued to developers and contractors.  These guarantees generally are fully secured and have varying maturities.  In addition, LCNB has a participation in a letter of credit securing payment of principal and interest on a bond issue.  The participation amount at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 was approximately $4.1 million.  The letter of credit will expire on July 15, 2009.  It is secured by an assignment of rents and the underlying real property.


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.


At September 30, 2006, LCNB is committed under various contracts to expend approximately $625,000 to complete certain building and office renovation projects and computer upgrades.


Management believes that LCNB has sufficient liquidity to fund its 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 9 - Stock Options

Under the Ownership Incentive Plan (the "Plan") LCNB may grant stock-based awards to eligible employees.  The awards may be in the form of stock options, share awards, and/or appreciation rights.  The Plan provides for the issuance of up to 100,000 shares.  As of September 30, 2006, only stock options have been granted under the Plan.  Options granted to date vest ratably over a five year period and expire ten years after the date of grant.  Stock options outstanding at September 30, 2006 were as follows:

LCNB previously disclosed in its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005, that it expected to contribute $875,000 to its pension plan in 2006.  As of September 30, 2006, a contribution of $857,000 had been made to the pension plan.  LCNB does not expect to make any further contributions during the remainder of 2006.  


LCNB’s Board of Directors adopted a 401(k) plan on March 13, 2006 to provide a retirement savings vehicle for eligible employees of LCNB and its subsidiaries.  Participants may choose to make before-tax and/or Roth after-tax contributions to their 401(k) plans.  All contributions are immediately 100% vested.  LCNB pays certain administrative costs of the 401(k) Plan, but does not match employee contributions.



Note 11 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140,” was issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in February, 2006.  It amends SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” and SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities”.  This statement is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006.  LCNB has not entered into any transactions covered by SFAS No. 155 and is not affected by the pronouncement.

Note 11 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)

SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets,” was issued by the FASB in March, 2006.  It amends SFAS No. 140 and requires that a separately recognized mortgage servicing asset or liability be initially measured at fair value.  After initial recognition, an entity may choose either the amortization method or the fair value method for subsequent measurement.  Under the amortization method, the servicing asset or liability is amortized to income over the estimated life of the asset or liability.  Under the fair value method, the servicing asset or liability is measured at fair value at each financial reporting date and changes in fair value are recognized to income.  This statement is effective at the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning after September 15, 2006.  Management does not anticipate that adoption of SFAS No. 156 will have a material affect on LCNB’s income due to the limited number of loans currently being sold in the secondary market.  


SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” was issued by the FASB in September, 2006.  SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  This statement does not require any new fair value measurements, but increases consistency and comparability in the use of fair value measurements and calculations.  This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and for interim periods within those fiscal years.  Management does not anticipate that the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have a material effect on LCNB’s consolidated balance sheet or income statement.


SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans – an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R),” was issued by the FASB in September, 2006.  It requires an employer to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status, measured as the difference between the fair value of the plan assets and the benefit obligation, of a defined benefit postretirement plan as an asset or liability in its balance sheet.  For a pension plan, the benefit obligation is the projected benefit obligation.  SFAS No. 158 also requires an employer to recognize changes in the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan through comprehensive income, net of tax, to the extent such changes are not recognized in earnings as components of periodic net benefit cost.  An employer with publicly traded equity securities, such as LCNB, will be required to initially recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan as of the end of the year ending after December 15, 2006.  Based on information available at December 31, 2005, LCNB would have reduced Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) by approximately $560,000, net of tax.  The actual impact of adopting SFAS No. 158 will be dependent upon the then current fair value of plan assets and the amount of the projected benefit obligation measured as of the adoption date.


Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109,” was issued by the FASB in July, 2006.  It provides additional guidance for financial statement recognition of tax positions taken in tax returns.  The interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006.  Management does not anticipate that the guidance in the interpretation will have a material effect on LCNB’s consolidated financial results.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT  REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM




To the Board of Directors and Shareholders

LCNB Corp. and subsidiaries

Lebanon, Ohio



We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of LCNB Corp. and subsidiaries as of September 30, 2006, and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.


We conducted our review 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 referred to above for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.


We previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of LCNB Corp. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 (presented herein), and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein), and in our report dated February 16, 2006, 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, 2005, is fairly stated in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Forward Looking Statements

Certain matters disclosed herein may be deemed to be forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.  Forward looking statements are statements that include projections, predictions, expectations or beliefs about future events or results or otherwise are not statements of historical fact. Such statements are often characterized by the use of qualifying words and their derivatives such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “plans,” “projects,” or other statements concerning opinions or judgments of the Company and its management about future events.   Factors that could influence the accuracy of such forward looking statements include, but are not limited to, regulatory policy changes, interest rate fluctuations, loan demand, loan delinquencies and losses, general economic conditions and other risks.  Such forward-looking statements represent management's judgment as of the current date.  Actual strategies and results in future time periods may differ materially from those currently expected.  LCNB disclaims, however, any intent or obligation to update such forward-looking statements.  LCNB intends such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.



Acquisition

On May 31, 2006, Dakin purchased the existing book of business of Altemeier Oliver & Company Agency, Inc. (“AOC”), an independent insurance agency located in Blue Ash, Ohio. The acquisition of AOC was accounted for using the purchase accounting method and the results of operations of AOC have been included in the consolidated financial statements of LCNB since the acquisition date.  The acquired assets consisted solely of a customer list intangible asset. This intangible asset will be amortized on a straight-line basis over a ten year period.



Results of Operations

LCNB earned $1,506,000 or $0.47 per diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2006, compared to $1,821,000 or $0.55 per diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2005.  The return on average assets (ROAA) for the third quarter, 2006 was 1.08% and the return on average equity (ROAE) was 11.47%, compared with an ROAA of 1.34% and an ROAE of 13.78% for the third quarter of 2005.  The decrease in net income for the third quarter, 2006 is primarily attributable to a decrease in net interest income, a decrease in non-interest income, and an increase in non-interest expense.


LCNB earned $4,724,000 or $1.45 per diluted share during the first nine months of 2006 compared to $4,919,000 or $1.48 per diluted share for the first nine months of 2005.  The ROAA and ROAE for the first nine months of 2006 were 1.16% and 12.09%, respectively.  The comparable ratios for the first nine months of 2005 were 1.23% and 12.55%, respectively.  The provision for loan losses for the 2006 period was less than the provision recorded during the 2005 period and non-interest income for the first nine months of 2006 was greater than the amount for the comparable 2005 period.  These positive effects on net income were partially offset by a decrease in net interest income and an increase in non-interest expense.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of

Operations (continued)


Net interest income on a fully tax-equivalent basis for the three months ended September 30, 2006 totaled $4,759,000, a decrease of $164,000 from the comparable period in 2005.  Total interest expense increased $970,000, which was partially offset by an increase in total interest income of $806,000.  


The increase in total interest income was due to a 48 basis point (one basis point equals 0.01%) increase in the average rate earned on earning assets and to a $13.2 million increase in average interest earning assets, from $495.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005 to $508.8 million for the same period in 2006.  The increase in interest earning assets was primarily from loan growth, which increased by $31.2 million on an average basis.  The loan growth was partially offset by a $24.7 million decrease in average investment securities.  The increase in the average rate earned on earning assets was primarily due to general increases in market interest rates.


The increase in total interest expense was primarily due to an 84 basis point increase in the average rate paid, which was primarily due to general increases in market interest rates.


The net interest margin narrowed 23 basis points in the third quarter, 2006 compared to the third quarter, 2005. The tighter margin reflects highly competitive market pricing conditions for both loans and deposits and a relatively flat yield curve between short-term and long-term interest rates.  As a result, average deposit rates increased faster than average loan rates.



Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006 vs. 2005.

The following table presents, for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, 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 2006 totaled $14,445,000, a $190,000 decrease from the same period in 2005.  Total interest expense increased $2,424,000 and was partially offset by an increase in total interest income of $2,234,000.


The increase in total interest income was due to a 47 basis point increase in the average rate earned on earning assets, from 5.76% for the first nine months of 2005 to 6.23% for the comparable period in 2006, and to a $10.9 million increase in average total earning assets.  The increase in average earning assets was due to a $26.3 million increase in average loans, partially offset by a $4.5 decrease in federal funds sold and interest-bearing demand deposits and an $11.1 million decrease in investment securities.

LCNB Corp. and Subsidiaries


Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of

The increase in total interest expense was due primarily to a 75 basis point increase in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities.  The net interest margin narrowed 14 basis points during the first nine months of 2006 compared to the first nine months of 2005 for substantially the same reasons previously discussed.



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 credit losses at a level considered appropriate in relation to the risk of losses inherent in the portfolio.  The total loan loss provision and the other changes in the allowance for loan losses are shown below.

Non-accrual loans at September 30, 2006 consisted of one loan secured by farmland, one real estate mortgage loan, and one commercial loan.  Non-accrual loans at December 31, 2005 consisted of two real estate mortgage loans.  Loans past-due 90 days or more and still accruing interest at September 30, 2006 consisted of one real estate mortgage loan and consumer loans.  Loans past-due 90 days or more at December 31, 2005 consisted primarily of consumer loans.  


Restructured loans at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 include a commercial loan secured by a combination of mortgages and other collateral.  The principal balance of this loan at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 was $1,262,000 and $1,717,000, respectively.  The reduction in the balance as of September 30, 2006 is due to principal payments received.  Restructured loans at September 30, 2006 include two additional commercial loans to a single borrower that are secured by commercial real estate.  



Non -Interest Income


Three Months Ended September 30, 2006 vs. 2005.

Non-interest income of $2,092,000 for the third quarter of 2006 was $122,000, or 5.5%, less than for the same period in 2005 primarily due to a decline in other operating income attributed to a non-recurring $85,000 gain on the sale a branch property in 2005, a loss on abandonment of an ATM, and a reduction in gains from sales of mortgage loans.  This unfavorable variance was partially offset by a $47,000 increase in insurance agency income due to new business and policies obtained from AOC.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of

Operations (continued)


Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006 vs. 2005.

Non-interest income of $6,231,000 for the first nine months of 2006 was $256,000, or 4.3%, greater than for the same period in 2005 primarily due to a $186,000 increase in trust income, a $175,000 increase in insurance agency income, and a $79,000 increase in service charges and fees.  The increase in trust income was primarily due to an increase in brokerage income resulting from new business and from trust fee modifications and new business.  Insurance agency income increased due to an increase in contingency income recognized during the first quarter, new business, and new policies obtained from the AOC acquisition.  Service charges and fees increased primarily due to an increase in check card income, which grew because of the increasing popularity of check cards as a retail payment method.  Partially offsetting these increases in income were a decrease in gains from sales of mortgage loans, the 2005 non-recurring gain on the branch property, and the loss on the ATM abandonment described above.   



Non-Interest Expense

Total non-interest expense increased $158,000, or 3.6%, during the third quarter, 2006 compared to the third quarter, 2005, primarily due to a $116,000 increase in salaries and wages, reflecting additional employees and routine salary and wage increases.


Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006 vs. 2005.

Total non-interest expense increased $491,000, or 3.8%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005 primarily due to a $313,000 increase in salaries and wages and a $91,000 increase in ATM expense, which is included in other non-interest expense.  Salaries and wages increased for substantially the same reasons discussed above.  The increase in ATM expense is primarily due to fee adjustments from a vendor related to prior periods that were recognized during the first quarter, 2006.


Income Taxes

LCNB’s effective tax rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 were 25.2% and 25.0%, 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.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of

Operations (continued)


Financial Condition

Securities available for sale of $107.2 million at September 30, 2006, declined by approximately $26.4 million from the balance at December 31, 2005.  This decline reflects management’s decision to invest most of the funds received from investment maturities and calls into loan growth.


Gross loans, before the allowance for loan losses, at September 30, 2006 were $388.4 million, approximately $28.6 million greater than at December 31, 2005.  Commercial loans secured by real estate comprised $14.1 million of the increase, residential real estate loans comprised $9.5 million of the increase, and consumer loans comprised another $3.0 million of the increase.  


Interest-bearing deposits at September 30, 2006 totaled $414.9 million, approximately $15.5 million greater than at December 31, 2005.  NOW accounts increased $28.5 million, partially offset by declines in money market deposit accounts, regular savings, and time deposits.  The increase in the NOW account classification was primarily due to a $29.0 million increase in public fund NOW account deposits by local and state governmental entities.


Long-term debt at September 30, 2006 was $2.1 million less than the balance at December 31, 2005.  The decrease is primarily due to the maturation and payment in full of a $2.0 million Federal Home Loan Bank note on March 31, 2006.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of

Operations (continued)


Average total interest-earning assets increased approximately $10.4 million during the third quarter, 2006 compared to the second quarter, 2006.  Loans increased $12.7 million and investment securities decreased $3.9 million for substantially the same reasons discussed above.


Average total interest-bearing liabilities increased approximately $12.8 million during the third quarter, 2006, compared to the second quarter, 2006.  Interest-bearing deposits grew $12.6 million for substantially the same reasons discussed above.



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 Lebanon Citizens may pay to the sum of retained net income, as defined, for the current year plus retained net income for the previous two years.  Prior approval from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, Lebanon Citizens’ primary regulator, would be necessary for Lebanon Citizens to pay dividends in excess of this amount.  In addition, dividend payments may not reduce capital levels below minimum regulatory guidelines.  Management believes Lebanon Citizens will be able to pay anticipated dividends to LCNB without needing to request approval.


Liquidity is the ability to have funds available at all times to meet the commitments of LCNB.  Asset liquidity is provided by cash and assets which are readily marketable or pledgeable or which will mature in the near future. Liquid assets include cash and cash equivalents and securities available for sale.  At September 30, 2006, LCNB’s liquid assets amounted to $128.9 million or 23.4% of total gross assets, a  decrease from $148.8 million or 27.6% at December 31, 2005.  Liquid assets decreased, despite a $6.4 million increase in cash and cash equivalents, due to the $26.4 million decrease in securities available for sale.  The decrease in liquidity was used primarily to fund new lending activity.


Liquidity is also provided by access to core funding sources, primarily core depositors in the bank’s market area.  Approximately 75.7% of total deposits at September 30, 2006 were “core” deposits, a decrease from 80.7% at December 31, 2005.  Core deposits, for this purpose, are defined as total deposits less public funds and certificates of deposit greater than $100,000.  Core deposits decreased because of the previously discussed increase in public fund deposits and decreases in demand accounts, money market deposit accounts, regular savings, and time deposit accounts.  


Secondary sources of liquidity include LCNB’s ability to sell loan participations, borrow funds from the Federal Home Loan Bank, purchase federal funds, 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.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140,” was issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in February, 2006.  It amends SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” and SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities”.  This statement is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006.  LCNB has not entered into any transactions covered by SFAS No. 155 and is not affected by the pronouncement.


SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets,” was issued by the FASB in March, 2006.  It amends SFAS No. 140 and requires that a separately recognized mortgage servicing asset or liability be initially measured at fair value.  After initial recognition, an entity may choose either the amortization method or the fair value method for subsequent measurement.  Under the amortization method, the servicing asset or liability is amortized to income over the estimated life of the asset or liability.  Under the fair value method, the servicing asset or liability is measured at fair value at each financial reporting date and changes in fair value are recognized to income.  This statement is effective at the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning after September 15, 2006.  Management does not anticipate that adoption of SFAS No. 156 will have a material affect on LCNB’s income due to the limited number of loans currently being sold in the secondary market.  


SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” was issued by the FASB in September, 2006.  SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  This statement does not require any new fair value measurements, but increases consistency and comparability in the use of fair value measurements and calculations.  This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and for interim periods within those fiscal years.  Management does not anticipate that the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have a material effect on LCNB’s consolidated balance sheet or income statement.

Operations (continued)



SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans – an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R),” was issued by the FASB in September, 2006.  It requires an employer to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status, measured as the difference between the fair value of the plan assets and the benefit obligation, of a defined benefit postretirement plan as an asset or liability in its balance sheet.  For a pension plan, the benefit obligation is the projected benefit obligation.  SFAS No. 158 also requires an employer to recognize changes in the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan through comprehensive income, net of tax, to the extent such changes are not recognized in earnings as components of periodic net benefit cost.  An employer with publicly traded equity securities, such as LCNB, will be required to initially recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan as of the end of the year ending after December 15, 2006.  Based on information available at December 31, 2005, LCNB would have reduced Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) by approximately $560,000, net of tax.  The actual impact of adopting SFAS No. 158 will be dependent upon the then current fair value of plan assets and the amount of the projected benefit obligation measured as of the adoption date.


Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109,” was issued by the FASB in July, 2006.  It provides additional guidance for financial statement recognition of tax positions taken in tax returns.  The interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006.  Management does not anticipate that the guidance in the interpretation will have a material effect on LCNB’s consolidated financial results.


The Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements When Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements,” (SAB No. 108) in September, 2006.  SAB No. 108 provides interpretive guidance on how the effects of a carryover or reversal of prior year misstatements should be considered in quantifying a current year misstatements.  SAB No. 108 is effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006.  Management does not anticipate that the guidance in this bulletin will have a material effect on LCNB’s consolidated financial statements.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks


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.  The IRSA model is used to estimate the effect on net interest income during a one-year period of instantaneous and sustained movements in interest rates, also called interest rate shocks, of 100, 200, and 300 basis points.  The base projection uses a current interest rate scenario.  As shown below, the September 30, 2006 IRSA indicates that an increase in interest rates would have a positive effect on net interest income, and a decrease in rates would have a negative effect on net interest income. The changes in net interest income for the up and down 100, 200, and 300 basis point rate assumptions are within LCNB’s acceptable ranges.

IRSA shows the affect on net interest income during a one-year period only.  A more long-range model is the EVE analysis, which shows the estimated present value of future cash inflows from interest-earning assets less the present value of future cash outflows for interest-bearing liabilities for the same rate shocks.  The EVE analysis at September 30, 2006 is shown below.  The changes in the economic value of equity for these 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.

On April 17, 2001, LCNB's Board of Directors authorized three separate stock repurchase programs, two phases of which continue.  The shares purchased will be held for future corporate purposes.


Under the "Market Repurchase Program" LCNB was originally authorized to  purchase up to 100,000 shares of its stock through market transactions with a selected stockbroker.  On November 14, 2005, the Board of Directors extended the Market Repurchase Program by increasing the shares authorized for repurchase to 200,000 total shares.  Through September 30, 2006, 145,222 shares had been purchased under this program.  The following table shows information relating to the repurchase of shares under the Market Repurchase Program during the three months ended September 30, 2006:

The "Private Sale Repurchase Program" is available to shareholders who wish to sell large blocks of stock at one time.  Because LCNB's stock is not widely traded, a shareholder releasing large blocks may not be able to readily sell all shares through normal procedures.  Purchases of blocks will be considered on a case-by-case basis and will be made at prevailing market prices.  There is no limit to the number of shares that may be purchased under this program.  A total of 178,344 shares have been purchased under this program since its inception.  No shares were purchased during the third quarter, 2006.
