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. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries: LCNB National 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. GAAP for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the SEC.  Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP 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 consolidated operations, and cash flows for the interim periods, as required by Regulation S-X, Rule 8-03.

The consolidated condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet as of that date.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2022.  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 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC.

Accounting Changes
From time to time the FASB issues an ASU to communicate changes to U.S. GAAP. The following information provides brief summaries of ASUs that have recently become effective:

Financial Accounting Standards (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-04, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting"
ASU No. 2020-04 was issued in March 2020 and provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for or recognizing the effects of reference rate reform on financial reporting. The amendments provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The amendments in this update are effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. LCNB does not expect the guidance in ASU No. 2020-04 will have a material impact on its results of consolidated operations or financial position.

ASU No. 2018-14, "Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans"
ASU No. 2018-14 was issued in August 2018 and was adopted by LCNB on January 1, 2021. 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 to be applied on a retrospective basis to all periods presented upon adoption. Adoption of ASU No. 2018-14 did not have a material impact on LCNB's results of consolidated operations or financial position.

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation (continued)

ASU No. 2019-12, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes"
ASU No. 2019-12 was issued in December 2019 and adopted by LCNB on January 1, 2021. It simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and clarifies and amends certain other guidance. Adoption of ASU No. 2019-12 did not have a material impact on LCNB's results of consolidated operations or financial position.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
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 consolidated 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, Wealth Management, and finance departments. During 2017, the CECL Committee 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, analyzed its pool segmentation and reporting mechanisms, and has finished back testing in preparation for adoption of the new methodology. While the committee and management expect that implementation of ASU No. 2016-13 will increase the balance of the allowance for loan losses, they are continuing to evaluate the modeling and its potential impact on LCNB's results of consolidated operations and financial position. The consolidated financial statement impact of this new standard cannot be reasonably estimated at this time; however, it is anticipated during 2022 that modeling adjustments should be complete after finalizing review of prepayment, curtailment, and forecasting assessments.

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation (continued)

ASU No. 2022-02, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures"
ASU No. 2022-02 was issued in March 2022 and, once effective, will eliminate the accounting guidance on TDRs for creditors who have adopted ASU No. 2016-13 and provides for enhanced disclosures for certain modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties. The update also amends the guidance on vintage disclosures for public business entities, as defined, to require the disclosure of current-period gross charge-offs by year of origination. For entities that have adopted ASU No. 2016-13, the update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For entities that have not yet adopted ASU No. 2016-13, this update needs to be adopted at the same time that ASU No. 2016-13 is adopted. Early adoption is permitted if an entity has already adopted ASU No. 2016-13.

ASU No. 2022-03, "Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions"
ASU No. 2022-03 was issued in June 2022 and, once effective, will clarify the guidance in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, when measuring the fair value of an equity security subject to contractual restrictions that prohibit the sale of the security and introduces new disclosure requirements for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions that are measured at fair value. The update clarifies that a sales restriction is not considered in measuring fair value. In addition an entity will need to disclose the fair value of equity securities subject to contractual sales restrictions, the nature and remaining durations of the sales restrictions, and any circumstances that could cause a lapse in the restrictions. For public business entities, ASU No.2022-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments are to be applied prospectively with any adoption adjustments recognized in earnings and disclosed on the date of adoption.

Management has determined that the unrealized losses at June 30, 2022 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.

Debt securities with a market value of $169,077,000 and $128,426,000 at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, were pledged to secure public deposits and for other purposes required or as permitted by law.

Equity securities with a readily determinable fair value are carried at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in other operating income in the consolidated condensed statements of income. Equity securities without a readily determinable fair value are measured at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus any changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions, as defined, for identical or similar investments of the same issuer. LCNB was not aware of any impairment or observable price change adjustments that needed to be made at June 30, 2022 on its investments in equity securities without a readily determinable fair value.

Note 3 – Loans (continued)

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

Commercial & Industrial Loans. LCNB’s commercial & 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 & industrial loan arrangements, including term loans, balloon loans, and lines of credit.  Commercial & industrial loans can have a fixed or variable rate, with maturities ranging from one to ten years.  Commercial & industrial loans are offered to businesses and professionals for short and medium terms on both a collateralized and uncollateralized basis. Commercial & 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.

This category includes PPP loans that were authorized under the CARES Act and updated by the Economic Aid Act. The PPP was implemented by the SBA with support from the Department of the Treasury and provided small businesses that were negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic with government guaranteed and potentially forgivable loans that could be used to pay up to eight or twenty-four weeks, depending on the date of the loan, of payroll costs including benefits. Funds could also be used to pay interest on mortgages, rent, utilities, covered operations expenditures, covered property damage costs, covered supplier costs, and covered worker protection expenditures. Outstanding PPP loans at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 totaled $404,000 and $6,935,000, respectively, and unrecognized fees at those dates totaled $25,000 and $272,000, respectively.

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. Mortgage loans secured by owner-occupied agricultural property are included in this category.  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 and liquidity 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 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 fifteen years and adjust according to an established index plus a margin, subject to certain floor and ceiling rates.  A substantial majority of home equity lines of credit have a variable rate of interest based on the Wall Street Journal prime rate plus a margin.

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%.

Note 3 – Loans (continued)

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.

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.

Note 3 – Loans (continued)

Of the interest income recognized on impaired loans during the six months ended June 30, 2022, $4,000 was recognized on a cash basis and none was recognized on a cash basis during the six months ended June 30, 2021.

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. Each modification is separately negotiated with the borrower and includes terms and conditions that reflect the borrower's ability to pay the debt as modified. 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, 2022 and 2021 were as follows (dollars in thousands):

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 restructured loans for which there was a payment default within twelve months of the restructuring date during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

All troubled debt restructurings are considered impaired loans. The allowance for loan losses on such restructured loans is based on the present value of future expected cash flows.

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.  These financial instruments 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 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, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were as follows (in thousands):
June 30, 2022December 31, 2021

Unused overdraft protection amounts on demand and NOW accounts16,665 16,711 
Standby letters of credit
Total commitments$351,811 290,675 

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract.  Unused lines of credit include amounts not drawn on line of credit loans.  Commitments to extend credit and unused lines of credit generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses.

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

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 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.

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, 2022 totaled approximately $1,039,000.

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

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.

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. Options granted under the 2002 Plan vested ratably over a five-year period and expired ten years after the date of grant. The 2002 Plan expired on April 16, 2012. Any outstanding unexercised options, however, continued to be exercisable in accordance with their terms. The last of the outstanding options were exercised during the first quarter of 2021.

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 could be 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.

Note 12 – Stock Based Compensation (continued)
Unrecognized compensation expense for restricted stock awards was $927,000 at June 30, 2022 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, 2022 and 2021 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.

(Continued)

Note 14 - Fair Value Measurements (continued)
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 and are considered level 1 because the net asset values are determined and published and are the basis for current transactions.

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. 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 values 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.

Coronavirus Update/Status

The COVID-19 pandemic has continued to disrupt the global economy and the lives of individuals throughout the world. Governments, businesses, and the public have taken and are taking actions to contain the spread of COVID-19 and to mitigate its effects. While the effects of COVID-19 are not fully known, the pandemic and related efforts to contain it have disrupted economic activity, adversely affected the functioning of financial markets, impacted interest rates, increased economic and market uncertainty, and disrupted trade and supply chains. While vaccination efforts continue, the future effects from the pandemic, including the potential scope of recovery, are not fully known.

LCNB participated in the CARES Act PPP that provided government guaranteed and potentially forgivable loans to applicants. The PPP was implemented by the SBA with support from the Department of the Treasury and provided small businesses with funds to pay up to eight or twenty-four weeks, depending on the date of the loan, of payroll costs including benefits. Funds could also be used to pay interest on mortgages, rent, utilities, covered operations expenditures, covered property damage costs, covered supplier costs, and covered worker protection expenditures. Outstanding PPP loans at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 totaled $404,000 and $6,935,000, respectively, and unrecognized fees at those dates totaled $25,000 and $272,000, respectively.

LCNB continues to closely monitor the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on its business, customers, employees, vendors, and service providers and expects to make future changes to respond to the pandemic as this situation continues to evolve.

Critical Accounting Estimates

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, 2022 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, 2022 was $5,618,000 and $10,141,000, respectively (total basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.49 and $0.87). This compares to net income of $5,290,000 and $10,530,000 (total basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.41 and $0.82) for the same three and six month periods in 2021.

Net interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was $15,167,000 and $29,390,000, respectively, compared to $14,369,000 and $28,741,000 for the same periods in 2021. Favorably contributing to the variances for both the three- and six-month periods were overall growth in the taxable debt securities and loan portfolios and decreases in the average rates paid on deposits, aided by a shift from higher cost certificates of deposit to lower cost demand and savings products.

An increase in the provision for loan losses negatively affected earnings during the 2022 period. LCNB recorded a provision of $377,000 and $426,000 for the respective three and six month periods ended June 30, 2022, compared to credits of $15,000 and $67,000 for the same three and six month periods in 2021.

Non-interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was $3,528,000 and $7,078,000, respectively. This compares to $4,314,000 and $7,779,000 for the same periods in 2021. Non-interest income for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2021 included a one-time refund on the Company’s Ohio Financial Institutions Taxes, which was
included in other operating income. The remainder of the second quarter decrease was primarily due to decreased fiduciary income, decreased gains from sales of loans, and net unrealized losses recognized on LCNB's equity securities investment portfolio. The remainder of the decrease for the six month period was primarily due to net unrealized losses recognized on LCNB's equity securities investment portfolio.

Non-interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was $11,469,000 and $23,719,000, respectively, compared to $12,208,000 and $23,700,000 for the same three and six month periods in 2021. The 2022 periods benefited from an $889,000 gain recognized on the sale of other real estate owned, partially offset by a $140,000 impairment charge included in other operating expense that was associated with the sale of LCNB's Colerain Office building in July 2022.

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, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021.  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 taxable-equivalent basis for the three months ended June 30, 2022 totaled $15,217,000, an increase of $790,000 from the comparable period in 2021.  Total interest income increased $771,000 and total interest expense decreased $19,000.

The $771,000 increase in total interest income was due primarily to a $440,000 increase in loan interest income and a $349,000 increase in interest income from taxable debt securities. The increase in loan interest income was primarily due to a $47.0 million increase in the average balance of LCNB's loan portfolio, partially offset by a net 2 basis point (a basis point equals 0.01%) decrease in the average rate earned on the loan portfolio. Prepayment penalty fees totaling $638,000 were included in loan interest income during the second quarter of 2022, as compared to $391,000 in such fees during the second quarter of 2021. The increase in interest income from taxable debt securities was due to an $31.4 million increase in average securities and to a 33 basis point increase in the average rate earned on these securities, reflecting higher market rates available on the new purchases.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
The $19,000 decrease in total interest expense was primarily due to a $221,000 decrease in interest expense for IRA and time certificates partially offset by a $162,000 increase in interest expense for short-term borrowings. Interest expense for IRA and time certificates decreased due to a 24 basis point decrease in the average rate paid for these deposits and to a $38.5 million decrease in the average balance of these deposits. Management believes the decrease reflects customer preferences for liquidity during uncertain economic periods. Balances in demand deposits, NOW and money fund deposits, and savings deposits have grown, while balances in IRA and time deposits have decreased. Interest expense for short-term borrowings increased primarily because of a $17.5 million increase in average borrowings outstanding and secondarily to a 302 basis point increase in the average rate paid on such borrowings, reflecting a new one-year line of credit borrowing originated during February 2022.

Increases in market rates during 2022 were primarily caused by increases in the Targeted Federal Funds rate by the FOMC. The Targeted Federal Funds rate was increased by 25 basis points during the first quarter of 2022 and by 125 basis points during the second quarter of 2022. This rate was increased by an additional 75 basis points during July 2022 with more increases forecasted to occur during the remainder of 2022 and into 2023.

Net interest income on a fully taxable-equivalent basis for the six months ended June 30, 2022 totaled $29,490,000, an increase of $632,000 from the comparable period in 2021.  Total interest income increased $349,000 and total interest expense decreased $283,000.

The $349,000 increase in total interest income was due primarily to a $726,000 increase in interest income from taxable debt securities, partially offset by a $309,000 decrease in loan interest income. The increase in interest income from taxable debt securities was due to a $58.8 million increase in average securities and to a 22 basis point increase in the average rate earned on these securities, reflecting higher market rates available on the new purchases. The decrease in loan interest income was primarily due to a 22 basis point decrease in the average rate earned on loans, largely offset by a $55.0 million increase in the average balance of LCNB's loan portfolio. Prepayment penalty fees totaling $657,000 were included in loan interest income during the first half of 2022, as compared to $502,000 in such fees during the first half of 2021.

The $283,000 decrease in total interest expense was due to a $524,000 decrease in interest expense for IRA and time certificates, partially offset by a $247,000 increase in interest expense for short-term borrowings. Interest expense for IRA and time certificates decreased due to a 29 basis point decrease in the average rate paid for these deposits and to a $41.7 million decrease in the average balance of these deposits. Management believes the decrease reflects customer preferences for liquidity during uncertain economic periods. Balances in demand deposits, NOW and money fund deposits, and savings deposits have grown, while balances in IRA and time deposits have decreased. Interest expense for short-term borrowings increased primarily due to a $14.9 million increase in average borrowings outstanding and secondarily to a 250 basis point increase in the average rate paid for these borrowings, reflecting a new one-year line of credit borrowing originated during February 2022.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
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. For analysis purposes, the loan portfolio is separated into pools of similar loans. These pools include commercial & industrial loans, owner occupied commercial real estate loans, non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans, real estate loans secured by farms, real estate loans secured by multi-family dwellings, residential real estate loans secured by senior liens on 1-4 family dwellings, residential real estate loans secured by junior liens on 1-4 family dwellings, home equity line of credit loans, consumer loans, loans for agricultural purposes not secured by real estate, construction loans secured by 1-4 family dwellings, construction loans secured by other real estate, and several smaller classifications. Within each pool of loans, LCNB examines a variety of factors to determine the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, including historic charge-off percentages, overall pool quality, a review of specific problem loans, current economic trends and conditions that may affect borrowers' ability to pay, and the nature, volume, and consistency of the loan pool.

The provision for loan losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was $377,000 and $426,000, respectively, compared to credits of $15,000 and $67,000 for the same periods in 2021. The increase in the provision for loan losses was partially due to slightly higher net charge-offs and additional provisioning for the increase in volume of the commercial real estate loan portfolio. 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, 2022 were $74,000 and $99,000, respectively, compared to net charge-offs of $12,000 and $9,000 for the same three and six-month periods in 2021.

Reasons for changes include:
Fiduciary income decreased during the second quarter primarily due to a decrease in the fair value of trust and brokerage assets managed, on which fees are based.
Gains from sales of loans decreased during the second quarter primarily due to a lower volume of residential real estate loan sales.
Other operating income for the 2021 periods includes a state tax refund of $508,000 recognized during the second quarter 2021. The remainder of the decrease is primarily due to an increase in net unrealized losses recognized on equity securities.

Total non-interest expense$11,469 12,208 (739)$23,719 23,700 19 

Reasons for changes include:
Salaries and employee benefits for the six months period increased primarily due to overall wage and benefit increases, increased compensation expense for restricted stock grants, and to a higher amount of personnel expenses deferred in 2021 attributable to the high volume of PPP loans originated in that period.
Amortization of intangibles decreased because the core deposit intangibles from the First Capital Bancshares, Inc. and Eaton National Bank & Trust Co. acquisitions amortized in full during the first quarter 2022.
Other real estate owned, net for the 2022 periods is primarily due to a gain recognized on the sale of foreclosed property, slightly offset by other expenses recognized on such property.
Other non-interest expense for the 2022 periods includes a $140,000 impairment charge recognized on a closed office building.

On June 21, 2022, the FDIC issued a proposed rule that, if adopted in its current form, would increase the initial base deposit insurance assessment rate by two basis points, beginning with the first quarterly assessment period of 2023. According to the FDIC, the proposal increases the likelihood that its designated reserve ratio will reach the required minimum level of 1.35% by the statutory deadline of September 30, 2028 and will support progress toward achieving the long-term goal of a 2% ratio. LCNB's current initial base deposit insurance rate is three basis points and it will increase to five basis points if the proposal is adopted. The proposed increase would remain in effect until the long-term goal of a 2% FDIC designated reserve ratio is achieved.

Income Taxes

LCNB's effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was 18.0% and 17.7%, respectively, compared to 18.5% and 18.2% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.  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.

Net loans increased due to organic growth in the loan portfolio. Most of the growth occurred in the commercial real estate and commercial and industrial portfolios, partially offset by decreases in the residential real estate, consumer, and agricultural loan portfolios.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
Interest-bearing deposits have grown substantially since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic and this trend continued during the first six months of 2022. Management believes the growth reflects customer preferences for liquidity during uncertain economic periods. Balances in NOW and savings accounts grew, while balances in IRA and time deposits decreased.
Short-term borrowings increased due to a $20 million one-year revolving line of credit obtained in February 2022. The borrowing was used to finance the repurchase of 1,051,688 shares of LCNB common stock. During June 2022, this revolving line of credit was restructured into a $15 million amortizing term loan with a maturity of three years and a $5 million revolving line of credit with a maturity of one year.
Long-term debt increased due to the $15 million term loan referred to above.
Accrued interest and other liabilities decreased due to a combination of decreases in accrued bonuses caused by the payment of annual bonuses in January, a decrease in LIHTC liabilities due to funding payments made during the first half, and net deferred federal income taxes that were categorized as a net asset at June 30, 2022 being categorized as a net liability at December 31, 2021.
Treasury shares increased because of the repurchase of 1,084,723 share of common stock during 2022, which represents 8.7% of the shares outstanding at December 31, 2021.
Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of taxes increased because of market-driven decreases in the fair value of LCNB's debt security investments.

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.

In addition to the minimum capital requirements, 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. Its use was permitted 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 Community Bank Leverage Ratio 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, 2022 regulatory capital calculations.

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 OCC, 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, 2022 was approximately $220.4 million. Additional borrowings of approximately $55.0 million were available through the line of credit arrangements at June 30, 2022.

Management closely monitors the level of liquid assets available to meet ongoing funding needs.  It is management's intent to maintain adequate liquidity so that sufficient funds are readily available at a reasonable cost.  LCNB experienced no liquidity or operational problems as a result of current liquidity levels.

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, 2022 IRSA indicates that an increase in interest rates will have a positive effect on NII and a 100 basis point decrease in interest rates will have a negative effect on NII. The changes in NII for all rate assumptions are within LCNB's acceptable ranges.

IRSA shows the effect on NII during a one-year period only.  A more long-range model is the EVE analysis, which shows the estimated present value of future cash inflows from interest-earning assets less the present value of future cash outflows for interest-bearing liabilities for the same rate shocks.  As shown below, the June 30, 2022 EVE analysis indicates that an increase in interest rates of 300 basis points or 400 basis points will have a negative effect on the EVE and an increase in interest rates of 100 basis points or 200 basis points or a decrease in interest rates of 100 basis points 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
 
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
Readers should carefully consider the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in LCNB's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Operational risk created by the war waged on Ukraine.
On February 24, 2022, Russian forces launched a military invasion of Ukraine. In response, the United States and other European Union countries have imposed significant economic sanctions on Russia and Russia has responded with counter-sanctions. As a result, the Russian/Ukraine conflict has disrupted international commerce, exacerbated already existing supply chain disruptions, and negatively affected the global economy. While it is difficult to estimate the impact current or future disruptions could have on LCNB's business and financial position or that of its borrowers, such economic disruptions may affect the ability of borrowers to repay loans, thus increasing the risk of borrower defaults.

There is widespread concern that cyberattacks could intensify as the crisis continues and perhaps worsens, with impacts that could be both regional and global.

LCNB continues to monitor the evolving situation and its potential impact on its business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

LCNB may face risk caused by additional interest rate increases.
The FOMC increased the Federal Funds target range by 150 basis points during the first half of 2022. Interest rate increases by the Federal Reserve may continue throughout the rest of 2022 and into 2023. The higher borrowing cost resulting from increasing interest rates may cause financial hardship on consumers and businesses, including LCNB's borrowers, which could lead to increased loan losses, especially in fixed interest rate products. In addition, uncertainty about the timing and magnitude of future interest rate increases could reduce borrowing demand and, thus, the need for LCNB's lending services.

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 May 27, 2022, LCNB's Board of Directors authorized entry into a new Issuer Stock Repurchase Plan Agreement (the "Plan"). Under the terms of the Plan, LCNB is authorized to repurchase up to 500,000 of its outstanding common shares. The Plan will expire by or around December 31, 2022. The Plan replaced and superseded LCNB’s prior Issuer Stock Repurchase Plan Agreement, which was adopted in August 2020.

Under the Plan, 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 Plan, 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.
