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, 2019 has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet as of that date.

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

The preparation of consolidated 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 consolidated 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, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2020.  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 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC.

Accounting Changes

Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB) Accounting Standards Update ("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 was adopted by LCNB as of January 1, 2020. It 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. Adoption of ASU No. 2017-04 did not 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 was adopted by LCNB as of January 1, 2020. It 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. Adoption of ASU No. 2018-13 did not have a material impact on LCNB's results of operations or financial position.

Management has determined that the unrealized losses at June 30, 2020 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)

The risk characteristics of LCNB's material loan portfolio segments were 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.  Commercial and industrial loans can have a fixed or variable 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 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 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.

Of the interest income recognized on impaired loans during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, approximately $10,000 and $0, 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.

Loan modifications that were classified as TDRs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 were as follows (dollars in thousands):

The CARES Act includes a provision that permits a financial institution to elect to suspend temporarily troubled debt restructuring accounting under FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Subtopic 310-40 in certain circumstances (“Section 4013”). To be eligible under Section 4013, a loan modification must be (1) related to COVID-19; (2) executed on a loan that was not more than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019; and (3) executed between March 1, 2020, and the earlier of (A) 60 days after the date of termination of the National Emergency or (B) December 31, 2020. As of June 30, 2020, LCNB has not made the election under the CARES Act.

Note 3 – Loans (continued)

In response to this section of the CARES Act, the federal banking agencies issued a revised interagency statement on April 7, 2020 that, in consultation with the Financial Accounting Standards Board, confirmed that for loans not subject to section 4013, short-term modifications made on a good faith basis in response to COVID-19 to borrowers who were current prior to any relief are not troubled debt restructurings under ASC Subtopic 310-40. This includes short-term (e.g., up to six months) modifications such as payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment terms, or delays in payment that are insignificant. Borrowers considered current are those that are less than 30 days past due on their contractual payments at the time a modification program is implemented. As of June 30, 2020, the unpaid principal balance of loans modified using the guidance in the interagency statement totaled $384,324,000.

Mortgage loans sold to and serviced for investors are not included in the accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheets.  The unpaid principal balances of those loans at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 were approximately $100,189,000 and $93,596,000, respectively.

The total recorded investment in residential consumer mortgage loans secured by residential real estate that were in the process of foreclosure at June 30, 2020 was $231,000.



Note 4 - 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 $299 million and $283 million at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.  Additionally, LCNB is required to hold minimum levels of FHLB stock, based on the outstanding borrowings. Total remaining borrowing capacity at June 30, 2020 was approximately $70.6 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 9 - Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
 
LCNB is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers.  These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit.  They involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheets.  Exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other parties to financial instruments for commitments to extend credit is represented by the contract amount of those instruments.

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.

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, 2020 and December 31, 2019 were as follows (in thousands):

Note 9 – 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.  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, 2020 totaled approximately $1,254,000.

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 11 – 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.

Funding and administrative costs of the qualified noncontributory defined benefit retirement plan and 401(k) plan charged to pension and other employee benefits in the consolidated condensed statements of income for the three and six-month period ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 were as follows (in thousands):

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 12 – 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.
LCNB has not granted stock option awards since 2012. Options granted to date under the 2002 Plan vest ratably over a five-year period and expire ten years after the date of grant. Stock options outstanding at June 30, 2020 were as follows:

Note 12 – Stock Based Compensation (continued)
Unrecognized compensation expense for restricted stock awards was $480,000 at June 30, 2020 and is expected to be recognized over a period of 4.7 years.


Note 13 – 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.  

Earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 were calculated as follows (dollars in thousands, except share and per share data):

Note 14 - 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.
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 were 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 adjusted 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.

The fair values of off-balance-sheet financial instruments such as loan commitments and letters of credit are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements. The fair values of such instruments were not material at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

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.

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.

Debt securities, held-to-maturity
Fair values for debt 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 15 – 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.
Originally, ASU No. 2016-13 would have taken effect for SEC filers for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. At their meeting on October 16, 2019, FASB approved a final ASU delaying the effective date for several major standards, including ASU No. 2016-13, if certain qualifications are met. The new effective date for SEC filers eligible to be smaller reporting companies ("SRC"), as defined, will be fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption is permitted. As an SRC, LCNB intends to adopt ASU No. 2016-13 for the fiscal year, and interim periods within the fiscal year, beginning after December 15, 2022.

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. 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.

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. 2019-12, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes"
ASU No. 2019-12 was issued in December 2019 and simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and clarifies and amends certain other guidance. The amendments in this update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period. Adoption of ASU No. 2019-12 is not expected to have a material impact on LCNB's results of operations or financial position.

Coronavirus Update/Status
The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has placed significant health, economic and other major pressure throughout the communities LCNB serves, the state of Ohio, the United States and the entire world. LCNB has implemented a number of procedures in response to the pandemic to support the safety and well-being of our employees, customers, and shareholders that continue through the date of this report, including the following:
We addressed the safety of our 33 branches, following the guidelines of the Center for Disease Control, by temporarily closing our lobbies from March through May 2020 in an effort to encourage use of mobile banking applications and our drive-thru facilities, while allowing access to the lobbies by appointment only and only when necessary;
We re-opened most lobbies during June and July 2020 and introduced various safety measures including the installation of clear barriers at the teller windows, placing markers on the floor to properly space customers as they wait, enhancing our cleaning procedures, and encouraging the wearing of masks;
We hold daily executive management meetings to address issues that change rapidly;
We have encouraged non customer service employees to work remotely from home as much as possible and have adopted technological improvements to make this possible;
We moved our Annual Shareholders’ Meeting, held on April 21, 2020, from a physical meeting to a virtual meeting;
We provided payment deferrals to 582 loan customers with loans totaling approximately $384 million at June 30, 2020 who were affected by COVID-19, provided such customers were not 30 days past due at December 31, 2019; and
We chose to participate in the CARES Act Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") that provided government guaranteed and potentially forgivable loans to applicants. The PPP was implemented by the Small Business Administration with support from the Department of the Treasury and provided small businesses with funds to pay up to eight weeks of payroll costs including benefits. Funds could also be used to pay interest on mortgages, rent, and utilities. Through June 30, 2020, we were able to assist 316 small businesses and had funded $45.5 million of such loans. We believe these loans and our participation in the program is good for our customers, the employees who work for these companies, and the communities we serve.

LCNB continues to closely monitor this pandemic and expects to make future changes to respond to the pandemic as this situation continues to evolve.

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 fair values. 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, 2020 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 or sooner if circumstances indicate a possible 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.

Fair Value Accounting for Debt Securities. Debt securities classified as available-for-sale are carried at estimated fair value. Unrealized gains and losses, net of taxes, are reported as accumulated other comprehensive income or loss in shareholders' equity. Fair value is estimated using market quotations for U.S. Treasury investments. Fair value for the majority of the remaining available-for-sale securities is estimated using the discounted cash flow method for each security with discount rates based on rates observed in the market.

Results of Operations

Net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 was $5,057,000 (total basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.39) and $10,083,000 (total basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.78), respectively. This compares to net income of $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) for the same three and six month periods in 2019.

Net interest income on a fully taxable-equivalent basis for the three months ended June 30, 2020 totaled $14,066,000, an increase of $365,000 from the comparable period in 2019.  Total interest income decreased $414,000 and total interest expense decreased $779,000.

The $414,000 decrease in total interest income was due primarily to a $472,000 total decrease in interest income from taxable and non-taxable debt securities, partially offset by a $160,000 increase in loan interest income. The decrease in interest income from taxable and non-taxable debt securities was due to a $66.9 million decrease in average debt securities. Decreases in debt securities were invested in the loan portfolio and were also used to enhance liquidity. The increase in loan interest income was primarily due to a $101.0 million increase in the average balance of LCNB's loan portfolio, largely offset by a 31 basis point (a basis point equals 0.01%) decrease in the average rate earned on loans.

The $779,000 decrease in total interest expense was due to a $294,000 decrease in interest expense for savings deposits and a $438,000 decrease in interest expense for IRA and time certificates. Interest expense for savings deposits decreased primarily due to a 17 basis point market-driven decrease in the average rate paid for these deposits, slightly offset by a $18.7 million increase in the average balance of these deposits. Interest expense for IRA and time certificates decreased primarily due to a 38 basis point decrease in the average rate paid for these deposits and secondarily to a $25.9 million decrease in the average balance of these deposits. Interest expense for long-term debt decreased due to a $7.6 million decrease in average debt outstanding, slightly offset by a 5 basis point increase in the average rate paid.

Net interest income on a fully taxable-equivalent basis for the six months ended June 30, 2020 totaled $28,319,000, an increase of $1,083,000 from the comparable period in 2019.  Total interest income decreased $40,000 and total interest expense decreased $1,123,000.

The $40,000 decrease in total interest income was due primarily to a $719,000 total decrease in interest income from taxable and non-taxable debt securities and several smaller decreases in other line items, largely offset by an $849,000 increase in loan interest income. The decrease in interest income from taxable and non-taxable debt securities was due to a $63.7 million decrease in average debt securities, partially offset by a 55 basis point increase in the average rate earned on non-taxable debt securities. Decreases in debt securities were invested in the loan portfolio and used to pay down short-term borrowings and long-term debt. The increase in loan interest income was caused by a $72.4 million increase in the average balance of LCNB's loan portfolio, partially offset by a 15 basis point decrease in the average rate earned on loans.

The $1,123,000 decrease in total interest expense was due to a $469,000 decrease in interest expense for savings deposits, a $432,000 decrease in interest expense for IRA and time certificates, and a $214,000 decrease in interest expense for short-term borrowings. Interest expense for savings deposits and IRA and time certificates decreased primarily due to, respectively, a 14 basis point and a 13 basis point market-driven decrease in the average rates paid for these deposits and secondarily to a $9.5 million total decrease in the average balance of these deposits. Interest expense for short-term borrowings decreased due to a $10.9 million decrease in average debt outstanding and to a 194 basis point decrease in the average rate paid.

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, 2020 was $38,000 less than the comparable period in 2019 and the six month period was $1,240,000 greater than the comparable period in 2019. Approximately 69% of the increase in the provision for the six month period was due to an adjustment to the allowance for potential impacts from the economic recession caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Calculating an appropriate level for the allowance and provision for loan losses involves a high degree of management judgment and is, by its nature, imprecise. Revisions may be necessary as more information becomes available.

Net charge-offs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 were, respectively, $8,000 and $210,000, as compared to net charge-offs of $68,000 for the three month period and a net recovery of $117,000 for the six month period in 2019.

Total non-interest income$3,319  2,998  321  $7,158  5,770  1,388  

Reasons for changes include:
Fiduciary income increased primarily due to growth in the market value of assets serviced.
Service charges and fees on deposit accounts decreased primarily due to decreases in overdraft fees and fee income recognized on Insured Cash Sweep ("ICS") deposit products, partially offset by increases in check card income.
Net gains (losses) from sales of available-for-sale debt securities for the six month period increased due to market valuations at the times of sales, as the volume of debt securities sold during the 2020 period was less than that for the 2019 period.
Bank owned life insurance income increased due to $12.0 million of new policies purchased at the beginning of the third quarter 2019 and to a mortality benefit recognized during the first quarter 2020.
Gains from sales of loans increased primarily due to a greater volume of sales.
Other operating income increased during the six month period primarily due to net gains realized from the sale of equity security investments.

Total non-interest expense$11,116  $10,833  $283  $22,188  21,533  655  

Reasons for changes include:
Salaries and employee benefits increased 6.5% and 8.1% for the respective three and six month periods primarily due to salary and wage increases and newly hired employees, including additional business development positions. An increase in health insurance costs also contributed to the increase in salaries and employee benefits.
Marketing decreased primarily due to a realignment of the marketing strategy within LCNB.
FDIC insurance premiums for the 2020 period reflects Small Bank Assessment Credits received from the FDIC because the Deposit Insurance Fund was above the mandated 1.35% level. LCNB has received the full amount of the credit and anticipates quarterly premium payments will return to normal levels in future quarters.

Income Taxes

LCNB's effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 was 18.2% and 15.7%, respectively, compared to 17.1% and 17.0% for the respective three and six months ended June 30, 2019.  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. A one-time tax benefit recognized as a result of certain provisions in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, & Economic Security ("CARES") Act passed by Congress and signed by President Trump during the first quarter 2020 also contributed to the difference during the 2020 six month period.

Total liabilities and shareholders' equity$1,735,332  $1,639,308  $96,024  5.86 %

Reasons for changes include:
Debt securities, available-for-sale, decreased due to sales of securities with a total book value of $8.6 million and maturities and calls of securities totaling $39.6 million. These decreases were partially offset by purchases totaling $20.0 million and by a net increase in fair values totaling $4.0 million. The net funds received were invested in the loan portfolio, used to help pay down long-term debt, and used to increase liquidity.
Net loans increased due to organic growth in the loan portfolio, including PPP loans with carrying value of $45.3 million at June 30, 2020. Most of the growth occurred in the commercial and industrial and commercial real estate portfolios.
Premises and equipment, net increased due primarily to Main Office remodeling costs, partially offset by depreciation expense.
Core deposit and other intangibles decreased due to amortization of core deposit intangibles.
Interest-bearing deposits increased primarily due to increases in NOW and savings accounts, partially offset by decreases in IRA and time certificates.
Long-term debt decreased due to payoffs of matured debt. There were no new borrowings during 2020.

Total shareholders' equity increased primarily due to earnings retained during the first six months of 2020 and to a $3.1 million increase in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of taxes caused by market-driven increases in the fair value of LCNB's debt security investments. These increases were partially offset by dividends paid to shareholders.

LCNB performs an impairment test of the carrying value of goodwill annually in the fourth quarter or sooner if circumstances indicate a possible impairment. Impairment indicators that may be considered include the condition of the economy and banking industry; estimated future cash flows; government intervention and regulatory updates; the impact of recent events to financial performance and cost factors of the reporting unit; performance of LCNB’s stock and other relevant events. These and other factors could lead to a conclusion that goodwill is impaired, which would require LCNB to write off the difference between the estimated fair value of the company and the carrying value. Given the current economic environment resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, the probability of such impairments has increased. Accordingly, an interim impairment test was conducted as of June 30, 2020. At the conclusion of the assessment, management determined that fair value exceeded carrying value and that an impairment charge is not necessary at this time. Management will continue to monitor developments regarding the COVID-19 pandemic and measures implemented in response to the pandemic, market capitalization, overall economic conditions and any other triggering events or circumstances that may indicate an impairment of goodwill in the future.

Regulatory Capital

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:
 Minimum RequirementMinimum Requirement with Capital Conservation BufferTo Be Considered
Well-Capitalized
Ratio of Common Equity Tier 1 Capital to risk-weighted assets4.5 %7.0 %6.5 %
Ratio of Tier 1 Capital to risk-weighted assets6.0 %8.5 %8.0 %
Ratio of Total Capital (Tier 1 Capital plus Tier 2 Capital) to risk-weighted assets8.0 %10.5 %10.0 %
Leverage Ratio (Tier 1 Capital to adjusted quarterly average total assets)4.0 %N/A5.0 %

As of the most recent notification from their regulators, the Bank and LCNB were categorized as "well-capitalized" under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.  Management believes that no conditions or events have occurred since the last notification that would change the Bank's or LCNB's category.

On September 17, 2019, the FDIC finalized a rule that introduced an optional simplified measure of capital adequacy for qualifying community banking organizations, as required by the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief and Consumer Protection Act. The simplified rule was designed to reduce burden by removing the requirements for calculating and reporting risk-based capital ratios for qualifying community banking organizations that opt into the framework. It may be used beginning with the March 31, 2020 Call Report. Qualifications to use the simplified approach include having a tier 1 leverage ratio of greater than 9%, less than $10 billion in total consolidated assets, and limited amounts of off-balance-sheet exposures and trading assets and liabilities. A qualifying community banking organization that opts into the CBLR framework and meets all requirements under the framework will be considered to have met the well-capitalized ratio requirements under the Prompt Corrective Action regulations and will not be required to report or calculate risk-based capital. LCNB qualifies to use the simplified measure, but did not opt in for the June 30, 2020 regulatory capital calculations.

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 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, 2020 was approximately $70.6 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 $55.0 million were available through the line of credit arrangements at June 30, 2020.

On April 9, 2020, the Federal Reserve established the Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility ("PPPLF") to bolster the effectiveness of the Small Business Administration’s Paycheck Protection Program. The PPPLF will extend credit to eligible financial institutions that originate PPP loans, taking the loans as collateral at face value. LCNB management has decided not to currently use the PPPLF as a source of liquidity, as other sources of liquidity are believed to be adequate at this time.

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, 2020 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 also 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, 2020 EVE analysis indicates that an increase in interest rates will have a negative effect on the EVE and a 100 basis point decrease in interest rates will have a positive 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.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

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

The disclosures below supplement the risk factors previously disclosed under Item 1A. of LCNB’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The ultimate long-term impact on LCNB's business and financial results from the COVID-19 pandemic will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the scope and duration of the pandemic and actions taken by governmental authorities in response to the pandemic.

The COVID-19 pandemic is creating extensive disruptions to the global economy and to the lives of individuals throughout the world. Governments, businesses, and the public are taking unprecedented actions to contain the spread of COVID-19 and to mitigate its effects, including quarantines, travel bans, shelter-in-place orders, closures of businesses and schools, fiscal stimulus, and legislation designed to deliver monetary aid and other relief. While the effects of COVID-19 are rapidly evolving and not fully known, the pandemic and related efforts to contain it have already disrupted economic activity, adversely affected the functioning of financial markets, impacted interest rates, increased economic and market uncertainty, and disrupted trade and supply chains. If these effects continue for a prolonged period or result in sustained economic stress or recession, many of the risk factors identified in our Form 10-K could be exacerbated and such effects could have a material adverse impact on us in a number of ways related to credit, collateral, customer demand, funding, operations, interest rate risk, human capital and self-insurance.

Ohio Governor Mike DeWine issued a Stay-at-Home Order, effective 11:59 p.m. on March 23, 2020, in the interest of protecting the state's citizens and ordered non-essential businesses to close. After several extensions, the Stay-at-Home Order lapsed on May 29, 2020 and was replaced with an Urgent Health Advisory. Banks were a designated essential business and LCNB continued operations. As a result of the Stay-at-Home Order and the Urgent Health Advisory, many of LCNB's commercial borrowers were required to cease or curtail operations or may be facing operational issues, such as supply chain disruptions and decreased sales.   Some businesses may not be able to survive.  Many home mortgage and consumer borrowers were suddenly unemployed or working reduced hours. LCNB has made and expects that it will need to continue to make short-term modifications to a number of loans to help borrowers through this period, but the eventual number of modifications that will be required or their impact on LCNB's financial results cannot be estimated at this time.  Likewise, the pandemic’s effect on LCNB’s allowance for loan losses and provision for loan losses cannot be estimated at this time.

During March 2020, the Federal Reserve's Open Market Committee reduced its benchmark federal funds rate by a total of 150 basis points in response to the risks the pandemic poses to the economy. This rate influences other rates, including the prime rate and rates charged for home mortgage loans. Many of LCNB's commercial loans and most of its home equity loans are indexed to the prime rate. The future effect these reductions will have on LCNB's loan interest income cannot be estimated at this time.

Economic turmoil associated with the pandemic has had wide-ranging and severe impacts upon financial markets, including stock and bond markets. Fees for trust and brokerage accounts serviced for clients is predominantly based on the market value of such funds. A general decline in market valuations will decrease the fees LCNB collects for servicing these accounts. In addition, LCNB's investments in equity securities are carried at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in other operating income in the consolidated statements of income. Debt securities classified as "available-for-sale" are carried at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded in other comprehensive income, a separate component of shareholders' equity. Future pandemic effects on trust and brokerage accounts, LCNB's equity and debt investments, and the resulting effects on LCNB's income and equity cannot be estimated at this time.

Because there have been no comparable recent global pandemics that resulted in similar global impact, we do not yet know the full extent of COVID-19’s effects on our business, operations, or the U.S. economy as a whole. Any future development will be highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the scope and duration of the pandemic, the effectiveness of our work from home arrangements, third party providers’ ability to support our operation, and any actions taken by governmental authorities and other third parties in response to the pandemic. The uncertain future development of this crisis could materially and adversely affect our business, operations, operating results, financial condition, liquidity, and capital levels.

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.

There were no repurchases under the Program during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. A maximum number of 100,000 shares may yet be purchased under the Program.

Item 3.Defaults Upon Senior Securities
