Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

Substantially all of the assets, liabilities and operations of LCNB Corp. ("LCNB") are attributable to its wholly-owned subsidiary, LCNB National Bank (the "Bank"). The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of LCNB and the Bank. LCNB completed the sale of its subsidiary, Dakin Insurance Agency, Inc. (“Dakin”) on March 23, 2011. The financial results of Dakin are included as income from discontinued operations, net of tax, in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements through the date of sale.

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 six months ended June 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2012. 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 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC.

Note 2 - Investment Securities (continued)

Information concerning available-for-sale investment securities with gross unrealized losses at June 30, 2012, aggregated by length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous loss position, is as follows (in thousands):

	Less than Twelve Months				Twelve Months or Greater
	Fair Value		Unrealized Losses		Fair Value		Unrealized Losses

U.S. Treasury notes	$	-		-		-		-
U.S. Agency notes		16,819		35		-		-

Equity securities		415		28		59		5
	$	29,152		110		2,348		31

Management has determined that the unrealized losses at June 30, 2012 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 3 – Loans (continued)

LCNB uses a risk-rating system to quantify loan quality. A loan is assigned to a risk category based on relevant information about the ability of the borrower to service the debt including, but not limited to, current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends. The categories used are:

Pass – loans categorized in this category are higher quality loans that do not fit any of the other categories described below.

Other Assets Especially Mentioned (OAEM) - loans in this category are currently protected but are potentially weak. These loans constitute a risk but not to the point of justifying a classification of substandard. The credit risk may be relatively minor yet constitute an undue risk in light of the circumstances surrounding a specific asset.

Substandard – loans in this category are inadequately protected by the current sound net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Assets so classified must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the possibility that LCNB will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful – loans classified in this category have all the weaknesses inherent in loans classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

Modifications may include interest only payments for a period of time, temporary or permanent reduction of the loan’s interest rate, capitalization of delinquent interest, or extensions of the maturity date.

LCNB is not committed to lend additional funds to borrowers whose loan terms were modified in a troubled debt restructuring.

There were no troubled debt restructurings that subsequently defaulted within twelve months of the restructuring date for the three or six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.

Note 7 - 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. They involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheets. Exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other parties to financial instruments for commitments to extend credit is represented by the contract amount of those instruments.

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

Note 7 – Commitments and Contingent Liabilities (continued)

LCNB uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments. Financial instruments whose contract amounts represent off-balance-sheet credit risk at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 are as follows (in thousands):

	June 30,		December 31,
	2012		2011
Commitments to extend credit:
Commercial loans	$	1,332		3,227
Other loans
Fixed rate		2,560		1,391
Adjustable rate		1,194		2,099
Unused lines of credit:
Fixed rate		3,750		3,883
Adjustable rate		51,966		55,274
Unused Bounce Protection amounts on demand and NOW accounts		9,772		9,810
Standby letters of credit		5,575		5,575
	$	76,149		81,259

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 in line of credit loans. Commitments to extend credit and unused lines of credit generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. At June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, outstanding guarantees of approximately $546,000 and $546,000, respectively, were issued to developers and contractors. These guarantees generally are fully secured and have varying maturities. In addition, LCNB has a participation in four letters of credit securing payment of principal and interest on a bond issue. The participation amounts at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 totaled approximately $5.0 million. The letters of credit have a final maturity date of July 15, 2014, as extended.

LCNB evaluates each customer's credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary, is based on management's credit evaluation of the borrower. Collateral held varies, but may include accounts receivable; inventory; property, plant and equipment; residential realty; and income-producing commercial properties.

Note 7 – Commitments and Contingent Liabilities (continued)

Capital expenditures include the construction or acquisition of new office buildings, improvements to existing offices, purchases of furniture and equipment, and additions or improvements to LCNB’s information technology system. Commitments for capital expenditures outstanding as of June 30, 2012 totaled approximately $70,000.

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

LCNB and its subsidiary are parties to various claims and proceedings arising in the normal course of business. Management, after consultation with legal counsel, believes that the liabilities, if any, arising from such proceedings and claims will not be material to the consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Note 8 – Regulatory Capital

The Bank and LCNB are required by regulators to meet certain minimum levels of capital adequacy. These are expressed in the form of certain ratios. Capital is separated into Tier 1 capital (essentially shareholders' equity less goodwill and other intangibles) and Tier 2 capital (essentially the allowance for loan losses limited to 1.25% of risk-weighted assets). The first two ratios, which are based on the degree of credit risk in LCNB's assets, provide for weighting assets based on assigned risk factors and include off-balance sheet items such as loan commitments and stand-by letters of credit. The 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, The Bank and LCNB were categorized as "well-capitalized" under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. Management believes that no conditions or events have occurred since the last notification that would change the Bank's or LCNB's category.

Note 9 – Employee Benefits

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

Employees of LCNB also participate in a defined contribution retirement plan. Employees hired on or after January 1, 2009 receive a 50% employer match on their contributions into the 401(k) plan, up to a maximum LCNB contribution of 3% of each individual employee’s annual compensation. Employees hired before January 1, 2009 who received a benefit reduction under certain amendments to the defined benefit retirement plan receive an automatic contribution of 5% or 7% of annual compensation, depending on the sum of an employee’s age and vesting service, into the 401(k) plan, regardless of the contributions made by the employees. This contribution is made annually and these employees do not receive any employer matches to their 401(k) contributions.

Certain highly compensated employees participate in a nonqualified defined benefit retirement plan. The nonqualified plan ensures that participants receive the full amount of benefits to which they would have been entitled under the noncontributory defined benefit retirement plan in the absence of limits on benefit levels imposed by certain sections of the Internal Revenue Code.

Note 10 - Stock Based Compensation

LCNB established an Ownership Incentive Plan (the "Plan") during 2002 that allows for stock-based awards to eligible employees, as determined by the Board of Directors. 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 200,000 shares.

Options granted to date vest ratably over a five year period and expire ten years after the date of grant. Stock options outstanding at June 30, 2012 are as follows:

	Outstanding Stock Options						Exercisable Stock Options
Exercise Price Range	Number		Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (Years)		Number		Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (Years)

The aggregate intrinsic value (the amount by which the current market value of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price of the option) for options outstanding at June 30, 2012 that were “in the money” (market price greater than exercise price) was $225,000. The aggregate intrinsic value at that date for only the options that were exercisable was $123,000. The aggregate intrinsic value for options outstanding at June 30, 2011 that were in the money was $95,000 and the aggregate intrinsic value at that date for only the options that were exercisable was $36,000. The intrinsic value changes based on changes in the market value of LCNB’s stock.

Note 11 - Earnings per Common Share

Basic earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is adjusted for the dilutive effects of stock options, warrant, and restricted stock. The diluted average number of common shares outstanding has been increased for the assumed exercise of stock options, warrant, and restricted stock with proceeds used to purchase treasury shares at the average market price for the period. The computations are as follows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 (dollars in thousands, except share and per share data):

Note 12 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments

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

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

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the reporting date.

Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets in active markets, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices (such as interest rates or yield curves) that are observable for the asset or liability, and inputs that are derived from or corroborated by observable market data.

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

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

LCNB utilizes a pricing service for determining the fair values of most of its investment securities. Fair value for U.S. Treasury notes and corporate securities are determined based on market quotations (level 1). Fair value for most of the other investment securities is calculated using the discounted cash flow method for each security. The discount rates for these cash flows are estimated by the pricing service using rates observed in the market (level 2). Cash flow streams are dependent on estimated prepayment speeds and the overall structure of the securities given existing market conditions. In addition, LCNB has invested in two mutual funds that invest in debt securities or loans that qualify for credit under the Community Reinvestment Act. The investment in one of the mutual funds is considered to have level 2 inputs because, among other factors, the fund invests primarily in U.S. Government and Agency Obligations, which are considered to be level 2 investments. The investment in the other mutual fund is considered to have level 3 inputs because its shares are not traded in an active market, it does not publish a daily net asset value, and it is primarily a loan fund. Additionally, LCNB owns trust preferred securities in various financial institutions and equity securities in non-financial companies. Market quotations (level 1) are used to determine fair values for these investments.

Note 12 - Fair Value Measurements (continued)

Assets that may be recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include impaired loans, other real estate owned, and other repossessed assets. A loan is considered impaired when management believes it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impaired loans are carried at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate or the fair value of collateral if the loan is collateral dependent, if this value is less than the loan balance. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or current appraised value, the inputs are considered to be level 2. When an appraised value is not available and there is not an observable market price, the inputs are considered to be level 3.

Other real estate owned is adjusted to fair value upon transfer of the loan to foreclosed assets, usually based on an appraisal of the property. Subsequently, foreclosed assets are carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value. The inputs for a valuation based on current appraised value are considered to be level 2.

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:

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Continued)

Note 12 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)

Cash and cash equivalents

The carrying amounts presented are deemed to approximate fair value.

Investment securities

Fair values for securities, excluding Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal Reserve Bank stock, are based on quoted market prices, if available. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities and/or discounted cash flow analyses or other methods. The carrying value of Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal Reserve Bank stock approximates fair value based on the respective redemptive provisions.

Loans

Fair value is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities, incorporating assumptions of current and projected prepayment speeds. These current rates approximate market rates.

Deposits

The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts, and certain money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities, which approximates market rates.

Borrowings

The carrying amounts of federal funds purchased, repurchase agreements, and U.S. Treasury demand note borrowings are deemed to approximate fair value of short-term borrowings. For long-term debt, fair values are estimated based on the discounted value of expected net cash flows using current interest rates.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders

LCNB Corp.

Lebanon, Ohio

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of LCNB Corp. and subsidiaries (“LCNB”) as of June 30, 2012, and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for each of the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the six-month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of LCNB's management.

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

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

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of LCNB as of December 31, 2011 and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein), and in our report dated February 27, 2012, 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, 2011, is fairly stated in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

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 LCNB 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.

Results of Operations

Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was $1,987,000 (total basic and diluted earnings per common share of $0.30 and $0.29, respectively) and $4,264,000 (total basic and diluted earnings per common share of $0.64 and $0.63, respectively) for the six months ended June 30, 2012. This compares to net income from continuing operations of $2,023,000 (total basic and diluted earnings per common share of $0.30) and $3,501,000 (total basic and diluted earnings per common share of $0.52) for the same three and six-month periods in 2011.

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2011 included income from discontinued operations of $793,000, which consisted of a gain recognized on the sale of LCNB’s insurance agency subsidiary, Dakin Insurance Agency, Inc., less certain related closing costs, taxes, and a curtailment expense recognized in LCNB’s nonqualified defined benefit retirement plan due to the sale.

Net loan charge-offs for the first six months of 2012 and 2011 totaled $285,000 and $420,000, respectively. Non-accrual loans and loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest totaled $3,321,000 or 0.72% of total loans at June 30, 2012, compared to $3,707,000 or 0.80% of total loans at December 31, 2011. The decrease was primarily due to the transfer of a non-accrual commercial real estate loan to other real estate owned during the first quarter 2012. Consequently, other real estate owned (which includes property acquired through foreclosure or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure and also includes property deemed to be in-substance foreclosed) and other repossessed assets increased from $1,642,000 at December 31, 2011 to $2,123,000 at June 30, 2012.

Net interest income for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2012 decreased $133,000 and $82,000, respectively, from the comparative periods in 2011. The decreases for both periods were primarily due to decreases in the net interest margin, partially offset by increases in average interest-earning assets.

LCNB CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES

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

Non-interest income for the three-month period in 2012 was $80,000 less than the comparative period in 2011 primarily due to decreases in trust income, service charges and fees on deposit accounts, and gains from sales of investment securities. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in net gains recognized from sales of mortgage loans. Non-interest income for the six-month period in 2012 was $341,000 greater than the comparative period in 2011 primarily due to one-time fees recognized by the trust department during the first quarter 2012 and increases in gains from sales of investment securities and mortgage loans. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in service charges and fees on deposit accounts.

Non-interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was $23,000 greater than the comparative period in 2011. Non-interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $314,000 less than the comparative period in 2011 primarily due to decreases in FDIC insurance premiums and other expenses. The decrease in other expenses in 2012 reflects the absences of losses recognized during 2011 on a standby letter of credit and certain environmental remediation costs.

Net Interest Income

Three Months Ended June 30, 2012 vs. 2011.

LCNB's primary source of earnings is net interest income, which is the difference between earnings from loans and other investments and interest paid on deposits and other liabilities. The following table presents, for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, average balances for interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, the income or expense related to each item, and the resulting average yields earned or rates paid.

The following table presents the changes in taxable-equivalent basis interest income and expense for each major category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the amount of change attributable to volume and rate changes for the three months ended June 30, 2012 as compared to the same period in 2011. Changes not solely attributable to rate or volume have been allocated to volume and rate changes in proportion to the relationship of absolute dollar amounts of the changes in each.

Net interest income on a fully tax-equivalent basis for the three months ended June 30, 2012 totaled $6,613,000, a decrease of $149,000 from the comparable period in 2011. Total interest income decreased $544,000, partially offset by a decrease in total interest expense of $395,000.

The decrease in total interest income was due to a 42 basis point (one basis point equals 0.01%) decrease in the average rate earned on earning assets, partially offset by a $21.3 million increase in average earning assets. The increase in interest earning assets was primarily due to a $40.9 million increase in average investment securities, partially offset by a $15.6 million decrease in average interest-bearing demand deposits. The decrease in the average rate earned on earning assets was primarily due to general decreases in market interest rates.

The decrease in total interest expense was primarily due to a 25 basis point decrease in the average rate paid, primarily due to general decreases in market interest rates.

Net interest income on a fully tax-equivalent basis for the first half of 2012 totaled $13,334,000, a $150,000 decrease from the first half of 2011. Total interest income decreased $995,000, largely offset by an $845,000 decrease in total interest expense.

The decrease in total interest income was due to a 44 basis point decrease in the average rate earned on earning assets, partially offset by a $25.1 million increase in average total earning assets. The increase in average earning assets was due to a $30.9 million increase in average investment securities. The decrease in the average rate earned on earning assets was primarily due to general decreases in market interest rates.

LCNB CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES

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

The decrease in total interest expense was due primarily to a 29 basis point decrease in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities, partially offset by a $2.3 million increase in average interest-bearing liabilities. The increase in average interest-bearing liabilities was due to a $5.9 million increase in average interest-bearing deposits primarily resulting from an increase in public funds. The decrease in the average rate paid also reflects a general decrease in market rates.

Provision and Allowance For Loan Losses

The total provision for loan losses is determined based upon management's evaluation as to the amount needed to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level considered appropriate in relation to the risk of losses inherent in the portfolio. In addition to historic charge-off percentages, factors taken into consideration to determine the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses include the nature, volume, and consistency of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, a review of specific problem loans, and current economic conditions that may affect borrowers’ ability to pay. The provision for loan losses for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 was $91,000 and $224,000, respectively, and $306,000 and $888,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The decrease in the provision reflects a decrease in net charge-offs coupled with relatively stable regional market conditions.

Non-Interest Income

Three Months Ended June 30, 2012 vs. 2011.

Non-interest income for the second quarter of 2012 was $80,000 less than for the comparable period in 2011 primarily due to a $63,000 decrease in trust income, a $43,000 decrease in service charges and fees on deposit accounts, and a $45,000 decrease in net gains on sales of securities. Trust income decreased primarily due to a decrease in the market value of trust assets. Services charges and fees decreased primarily due to decreased overdraft fees, partially offset by an increase in check card income. Net gains on sales of securities decreased during the 2012 period primarily due to a lower volume of securities sold. These decreases were partially offset by a $78,000 increase in gains from sales of mortgage loans, primarily due to a greater volume of loans sold during the 2012 period as borrowers refinanced loans for lower interest rates.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2012 vs. 2011.

Non-interest income for the first half of 2012 was $341,000 greater than for the comparable period in 2011. The increase was due to a $220,000 increase in trust income and a $152,000 increase in gains from sales of mortgage loans. Trust income increased, despite the decrease during the second quarter, primarily due to estate fees recognized during the first quarter 2012. Gains from sales of mortgage loans increased for substantially the same reasons mentioned above. These increases were partially offset by a $66,000 decrease in service charges and fee on deposit accounts for substantially the same reasons mentioned above.

Non-Interest Expense

Three Months Ended June 30, 2012 vs. 2011.

Total non-interest expense increased $23,000 during the second quarter 2012 as compared to the second quarter 2011 primarily due to a $24,000 increase in equipment expenses, a $59,000 increase in marketing expenses, and a $33,000 increase in other non-interest expense. Equipment expenses increased primarily due to increased depreciation expense from data technology upgrades. Marketing expenses increased due to increased use of television advertising and promotional activities. Other non-interest expense increased due to smaller increases in a variety of expenses. These increases were partially offset by an $84,000 decrease in FDIC insurance premiums primarily due to the implementation of a new assessment base that uses total assets and tier one capital as opposed to deposits.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2012 vs. 2011.

Total non-interest expense decreased $314,000 during the first half of 2012 as compared to the first half of 2011 primarily due to a $253,000 decrease in FDIC insurance premiums for the same reason described above. An additional $68,000 decrease in other non-interest expense reflects the absence during the 2012 period of a $56,000 loss, net of recoveries, recognized during the first half 2011 on a standby letter of credit and $52,000 in environmental remediation costs recognized during the first quarter 2011 for the lot on which the new Lebanon drive-up facility was constructed.

Income Taxes

LCNB’s effective tax rates for continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 were 25.4% and 23.2%, 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.

Financial Condition

Total assets at June 30, 2012 were $40.0 million greater than at December 31, 2011, caused by a $47.1 million increase in total deposits. The deposit growth was primarily invested in cash and cash equivalents, which grew $7.4 million, and in investment securities, which grew $31.9 million.

Net loans increased $298,000, but the mix between loan categories changed during the first half of 2012. The commercial real estate loan portfolio increased $11.1 million and residential real estate loans increased $848,000. All other loan categories experienced decreases during 2012. The $848,000 increase in residential real estate loans does not reflect $11.4 million of residential real estate loans that were originated and sold to the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation during the first half of 2012.

The increase in total deposits was primarily due to a $39.1 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. The deposit growth was used to reduce short-term borrowings, which decreased $8.5 million between June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, fund growth in the investment portfolio, and enhance LCNB’s liquidity position for anticipated future needs.

LCNB CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES

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

During June 2012, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation issued three proposed rules that would significantly revise current regulatory capital requirements for financial institutions. Among other items, the proposals would:

Introduce a new requirement that common equity Tier 1capital be at least 4.5% of risk-weighted assets;

Increase the minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets from 4% to 6%;

Introduce a new requirement to maintain a capital conservation buffer in excess of other minimum risk-based capital ratios of at least 2.5% of risk-weighted assets;

Revise capital definitions and risk-weighting categories for various assets; and

Revise the prompt corrective action framework by increasing category thresholds to reflect the new requirements.

Financial institutions not meeting the 2.5% capital conservation buffer would be subject to limits on capital distributions, including dividend payments to shareholders and treasury share purchases, and would also be limited in awarding certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers.

If issued as proposed, the new requirements would be phased-in starting in 2013 with full implementation in 2019. LCNB already meets the new fully phased-in capital requirements.

Liquidity

LCNB depends on dividends from its subsidiaries for the majority of its liquid assets, including the cash needed to pay dividends to its shareholders. National banking law limits the amount of dividends the Bank may pay to the sum of retained net income, as defined, for the current year plus retained net income for the previous two years. Prior approval from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Bank’s primary regulator, is necessary for the Bank to pay dividends in excess of this amount. In addition, dividend payments may not reduce capital levels below minimum regulatory guidelines. Management believes the Bank will be able to pay anticipated dividends to LCNB without needing to request approval.

Liquidity is the ability to have funds available at all times to meet the commitments of LCNB. Asset liquidity is provided by cash and assets which are readily marketable or pledgeable or which will mature in the near future. Liquid assets include cash and cash equivalents and securities available for sale. At June 30, 2012, LCNB’s liquid assets amounted to $312.0 million or 37.5% of total assets, an increase from $273.5 million or 34.6% of total assets at December 31, 2011.

Liquidity is also provided by access to core funding sources, primarily core depositors in LCNB’s market area. Approximately 76.3% of total deposits at June 30, 2012 were “core” deposits, compared to 79.9% of deposits at December 31, 2011. Core deposits, for this purpose, are defined as total deposits less public funds and certificates of deposit greater than $100,000. The percentage of core deposits to total deposits decreased because of the growth in public fund deposits discussed above in relation to total growth in deposits.

Secondary sources of liquidity include LCNB’s ability to sell loan participations, borrow funds from the Federal Home Loan Bank, purchase federal funds, issue repurchase agreements, or use a line of credit established with another bank.

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

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.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks

Market risk for LCNB is primarily interest rate risk. LCNB attempts to mitigate this risk through asset/liability management strategies designed to decrease the vulnerability of its earnings to material and prolonged changes in interest rates. LCNB does not use derivatives such as interest rate swaps, caps, or floors to hedge this risk. LCNB has not entered into any market risk instruments for trading purposes.

The Bank's Asset and Liability Management Committee ("ALCO") primarily uses a combination of Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis (“IRSA”) and Economic Value of Equity (“EVE”) analysis for measuring and managing interest rate risk. IRSA is used to estimate the effect on net interest income during a one-year period of instantaneous and sustained movements in interest rates, also called interest rate shocks, of 100, 200, and 300 basis points. Management considers the results of the down 200 and down 300 basis point scenarios 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, 2012 IRSA indicates that an increase in interest rates would have a positive effect on net interest income (“NII”) and a decrease in interest rates would have a negative effect on NII. The changes in NII for all rate assumptions are within LCNB’s acceptable ranges.

Rate Shock Scenario in Basis Points	Amount		$ Change in NII			% Change in NII
	(Dollars in thousands)
Up 300	$	27,733		1,360			5.16	%
Up 200		27,222		849			3.22	%
Up 100		26,740		367			1.39	%
Base		26,373		-			-	%
Down 100		26,091		(282	)		(1.07	)%

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, 2012 EVE analysis indicates that an increase in interest rates would have a negative effect on the EVE and a decrease in rates would have a positive effect on the EVE. The change in EVE for the up 300 basis points scenario is outside LCNB’s policy range of a 25% change, but management has determined the change is acceptable in the current economic environment.

Rate Shock Scenario in Basis Points	Amount		$ Change in EVE			% Change in EVE
	(Dollars in thousands)
Up 300	$	58,441		(25,958	)		(30.76	%)
Up 200		66,506		(17,893	)		(21.20	)%

Base		84,399		-			-	%
Down 100		94,057		9,658			11.44	%

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

The IRSA and EVE simulations discussed above are not projections of future income or equity and should not be relied on as being indicative of future operating results. Assumptions used, including the nature and timing of interest rate levels, yield curve shape, prepayments on loans and securities, deposit decay rates, pricing decisions on loans and deposits, and reinvestment or replacement of asset and liability cash flows, are inherently uncertain and, as a result, the models cannot precisely measure future net interest income or equity. Furthermore, the models do not reflect actions that borrowers, depositors, and management may take in response to changing economic conditions and interest rate levels.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

a) Disclosure controls and procedures. The Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of LCNB's disclosure controls and procedures that ensure that information relating to LCNB required to be disclosed by LCNB in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities 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, 2012, 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.
