Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

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

The statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited 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.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2004. 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 2003 Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Board of Directors of LCNB at the regular meeting of April 13, 2004 declared a stock dividend of one share for each share owned to shareholders of record on April 20, 2004. The stock dividend was paid on April 30, 2004 and was accounted for as a stock split. All share and per share information for all periods presented have been retroactively restated to reflect the stock dividend.

The financial information presented on pages one through twelve of this Form 10-Q has been subject to a review by J.D. Cloud & Co. L.L.P., LCNB's independent certified public accountants, as described in their report contained herein.

Note 2 - Earnings Per Share

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

	Ended September 30,		For the Nine Months — Ended September 30,

Note 4 - Loans (continued)

Mortgage servicing rights on originated mortgage loans that have been sold are capitalized by allocating the total cost of the loans between mortgage servicing rights and the loans based on their relative fair values. Approximately $2,000 and $20,000 were capitalized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively, and $139,000 and $359,000 were capitalized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, respectively. Capitalized mortgage servicing rights are being amortized to loan servicing income in proportion to and over the period of estimated servicing income.

Changes in the allowance for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 were as follows (thousands):

	September 30, — 2004	2003
Balance - beginning of year	$ 2,150	2,000
Provision for loan losses	430	421
Charge-offs	(530)	(385)
Recoveries	100	39
Balances - end of period	$ 2,150	2,075

Charge-offs for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 included a $126,000 charge-off for a commercial loan and $32,000 for residential mortgage loans. The balance of charge-offs for that period was primarily for consumer and credit card loans. Charge-offs for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 consisted of consumer and credit card loans. There were no charge-offs on residential real estate or commercial loans for the 2003 period.

Non-accrual, past-due, and restructured loans as of September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003 were as follows (thousands):

(Continued)

Note 4 - Loans (continued)

Non-accrual loans at September 30, 2004 consisted of related commercial loans that were classified as loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing at December 31, 2003, at which time they had a balance of $2,030,000. The $213,000 difference in the loan balances at September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003 is due to principal payments received . These loans are secured by a combination of mortgages and other collateral. Information received during the first quarter, 2004 raised uncertainties concerning the collectibility of certain collateral and management transferred the loans to the nonaccrual classification and was continuing to classify the loans as non-accrual at September 30, 2004. All related interest due on the loans was paid during October, 2004 and the loans were re-written at that time. Such interest has been recorded on a cash basis as received.

Non-accrual loans at December 31, 2003 included a commercial loan in the amount of $564,000, which was paid in full during the second quarter, 2004.

Note 5 Other Borrowings

At September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, accrued interest and other liabilities included U.S. Treasury demand note borrowings of approximately $629,000 and $633,000, respectively.

Note 6 - 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.

Note 6 - Commitments and Contingent Liabilities (continued)

LCNB uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments. Financial instruments whose contract amounts represent off-balance-sheet credit risk at September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003 were as follows (thousands):

	September 30, — 2004	2003
Commitments to extend credit	$ 67,431	74,828
Standby letters of credit	6, 304	6,770

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. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. At September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, outstanding guarantees of $2,101,000 and $1,880,000, respectively, were issued to developers and contractors. These guarantees generally expire within one year and are fully secured. In addition, LCNB has a participation in a letter of credit securing payment of principal and interest on a bond issue. The participation amount at September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003 was approximately $4.2 million and $4.9 million, respectively. The expiration date for t his letter of credit w as extended from July 15, 2006 to July 15, 2009 during the third quarter, 2004. It is secured by an assignment of rents and the underlying real property.

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

At September 30, 2004, LCNB is committed under various contracts to expend approximately $265,000 to complete certain building and office renovation projects.

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.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

(Continued)

Note 7 - Stock Options

LCNB established an Ownership Incentive Plan (the "Plan") during 2002 that allows for stock-based awards to eligible employees. The awards may be in the form of stock options, share awards, and/or appreciation rights. The Plan provides for the issuance of up to 100,000 shares. Stock options for 4,054 shares with an exercise price of $35.315 were granted to key executive officers of LCNB during the first quarter, 2004. At September 30, 2004, 9,582 stock options with a weighted average exercise price of $30.05 were outstanding. The options expire in 2013 and 2014. No options have been exercised as of September 30, 2004.

LCNB accounts for the Plan under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees , and related Interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The pro-forma effect on net income and earnings per share if LCNB had applied the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation , to stock-based employee compensation was not material. Because 2003 was the first year stock options were outstanding, the pro-forma affect for 2003 and 2004 may not be indicative of the pro-forma affect on future quarters and years.

Note 8 Employee Benefits

LCNB has a noncontributory defined benefit retirement plan that covers all regular full-time employees. The components of net periodic pension cost for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, are summarized as follows (thousands):

	Ended September 30,		For the Nine Months — Ended September 30,
	2004	2003	2004	2003
Service cost	$ 163,337	147,016	489,477	474,922
Interest cost	63,041	90,704	188,175	207,104
Expected return on plan assets	(66,234)	(78,074)	(225,416)	(235,179)
Amortization on net (gain) loss	17,832	(6,859)	53,294	42,200
Net periodic pension cost	$ 177,976	152,787	505,530	489,047

LCNB previously disclosed in its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003, that it expected to contribute $650,000 to its pension plan in 2004. A contribution of $581,000 was paid during the third quarter, 2004. It is expected that approximately $45,000 in additional contributions will be made during the fourth quarter, 2004.

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REVIEW REPORT

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders

LCNB Corp. and subsidiaries

Lebanon, Ohio

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of LCNB Corp. and subsidiaries as of September 30, 2004, and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for each of the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, and the related consolidated statements of cash flows and shareholders' equity for each of the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.

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

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

We previously audited, in accordance with the standards of The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of LCNB Corp. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2003 (presented herein), and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein), and in our report dated January 16, 2004, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2003, is fairly stated in all material respects.

Forward Looking Statements

Certain matters disclosed herein may be deemed to be forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, including regulatory policy changes, interest rate fluctuations, loan demand, loan delinquencies and losses, and other risks. Actual strategies and results in future time periods may differ materially from those currently expected. Such forward-looking statements represent management's judgment as of the current date. The Company disclaims, however, any intent or obligation to update such forward-looking statements.

Results of Operations

LCNB earned $1,582,000, or $0.47 per share, for the three months ended September 30, 2004 compared to $1,526,000, or $0.45 per share, for the three months ended September 30, 2003. The return on average assets (ROAA) was 1.23% and the return on average equity (ROAE) was 12.11% for the third quarter of 2004, compared with an ROAA of 1.17% and an ROAE of 11.33% for the third quarter of 2003. The increase in net income is primarily due to increases in trust income and income from service charges and fees, partially offset by a reduction in gains from sales of mortgage loans.

LCNB earned $4,800,000, or $1.43 per share, during the first nine months of 2004 compared to $4,830,000, or $1.41 per share, for the first nine months of 2003. The ROAA and ROAE for the first nine months of 2004 were 1.26% and 12.21%, respectively. The comparable ratios for the first nine months of 2003 were 1.25% and 12.12%, respectively. The decrease in net income for the nine month period was primarily attributable to reductions in net interest income and gains from sales of mortgage loans. Partially offsetting these influences were increases in trust income, income from service charges and fees, and gains from sales of investment securities and LCNBs credit card portfolio during 2004 .

LCNB's earnings for the first nine months of 2004 included $539,000, or $356,000 on an after-tax basis, in gains from sales of investment securities totaling $15.9 million and credit card receivables totaling approximately $2.5 million. The proceeds from the sale of investment securities were primarily used to purchase securities with a slightly longer maturity and higher average interest rates than the ones sold. LCNB management decided to exit the credit card market and sell its receivables to MBNA America because of the high administrative costs of servicing a small credit card portfolio. LCNB will continue to offer credit card products under a marketing agreement with MBNA.

Net Interest Income

Three Months Ended September 30, 2004 vs. 2003.

LCNB's primary source of earnings is net interest income, which is the difference between earnings from loans and other investments and interest paid on deposits and other liabilities. The following table presents, for the three months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, average balances for interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, the income or expense related to each item, and the resultant average yields earned or rates paid.

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

Operations (continued)

Net interest income on a fully tax-equivalent basis for the three months ended September 30, 2004 totaled $4,882,000, a decrease of $5,000 from the comparable period in 2003. Total interest income decreased $231,000 and was largely offset by a decrease in total interest expense of $226,000.

The decrease in total interest income was primarily due to a 9 basis point (a basis point equals 0.01%) reduction in the average rate earned on earning assets, from 5.64% for the third quarter of 2003 to 5.55% for the third quarter of 2004. A secondary factor was an $8.9 million decrease in average interest earning assets, from $488.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2003 to $479.5 million for the same period in 2004. Most of the decrease was in federal funds sold and investment securities, largely offset by $15.0 million increase in average loans.

The decrease in total interest expense was due to a 15 basis point decrease in the average rate paid and to a $16.3 million decrease in average interest-bearing liabilities. Average interest-bearing deposits decreased $14.0 million, while average long-term debt decreased $2.1 million. The deposit decrease was primarily in money fund investment and certificate of deposit accounts. The decrease in long-term debt was due to the maturation of a $2.0 million Federal Home Loan Bank advance in December, 2003.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2004 vs. 2003.

The following table presents, for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, average balances for interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, the income or expense related to each item, and the resultant average yields earned or rates paid.

The decrease in total interest income was primarily due to a 39 basis point decrease in the average rate earned on earning assets, from 5.95% for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 to 5.56% for the same period in 2004. A secondary factor was a $6.9 million decrease in average total earning assets.

LCNB Corp. and Subsidiaries

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

Operations (continued)

The decrease in total interest expense was primarily due to a 36 basis point decrease in the average rate paid, and secondarily to a $14.8 million decrease in average interest-bearing liabilities. Average interest-bearing deposits decreased $12.6 million and average long-term debt decreased $2.1 million. As discussed in the previous section, the deposit decrease was primarily in money fund investment and certificate of deposit accounts and the decrease in long-term debt was due to the maturation of a $2.0 million Federal Home Loan Bank advance in December, 2003.

Provision and Allowance For Loan Losses

The total provision for loan losses is determined based upon management's evaluation as to the amount needed to maintain the allowance for credit losses at a level considered appropriate in relation to the risk of losses inherent in the portfolio. The total loan loss provision and the other changes in the allowance for loan losses are shown below.

Charge-offs for the same period in 2003 included $366,000 in consumer loan charge-offs and $19,000 in credit card charge-offs.

The following table sets forth information regarding the past due, non-accrual and renegotiated loans of the Bank at the dates indicated:

Accruing loans which are past due 90 days or more	153	2,442
Renegotiated loans	-	-
Total	$ 1,970	3,236

Non-accrual loans at September 30, 2004 included $1,817,000 of related commercial loans that were classified as loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing at December 31, 2003, at which time they had a balance of $2,030,000. The $213,000 difference in the loan balances at September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003 is due to principal payments received. These loans are secured by a combination of mortgages and other collateral. Information received during the first quarter, 2004 raised uncertainties concerning the collectibility of certain collateral and management transferred the loans to the nonaccrual classification and wa s continuing to classify the loans as non-accrual at September 30, 2004 . All related interest due on the loans was paid during October, 2004 and the loans were re-written at that time. Such interest has been recorded on a cash basis as received.

Non-accrual loans at December 31, 2003 included a commercial loan in the amount of $564,000, which was paid in full during the second quarter, 2004.

Non -Interest Income

Three Months Ended September 30, 2004 vs. 2003 .

Total non-interest income for the third quarter of 2004 was $46,000 or 2.7% greater than for the third quarter of 2003 primarily due to increased service charges and fees and increased trust income, partially offset by decreased gains from loan sales from reduced activity in the real estate mortgage loan secondary market. Service charges and fees increased $153,000 or 18.5% primarily due to an increase in the number of non-sufficient fund charges. Trust income was $97,000 or 36.2% greater primarily due to growth in total trust assets, from $129.2 million at September 30, 2003 to $174.0 million at September 30, 2004. This growth was primarily from new business.

Gains from sales of mortgage loans decreased $228,000 or 97.9% due to a decrease in the volume of loans sold during the third quarter, 2004 as compared to the third quarter, 2003. The volume of residential mortgage loan refinancing has declined with the recent increase in market rates. LCNB is also holding a greater percentage of new loans in its loan portfolio rather than selling them in the secondary market. See Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements for a comparison of loans sold during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003.

LCNB Corp. and Subsidiaries

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

Operations (continued)

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2004 vs. 2003.

Total non-interest income for the first nine months of 2004, excluding the investment security and credit card gains, was $30 9 ,000 or 6. 4 % more than for the comparable period in 2003 primarily due to a $684,000 or 31.6% increase in service charges and fees and a $323,000 or 42.7% increase in trust income, partially offset by a $688,000 or 93.6% decrease in gains from sales of mortgage loans. Service charges and fees and trust income increased and gains from sales of mortgage loans decreased for substantially the same reasons mentioned above.

Non-Interest Expense

Three Months Ended September 30, 2004 vs. 2003.

Total non-interest expense increased $15,000 or 0.4% during the third quarter, 2004 compared with the third quarter, 2003 primarily due to increases in pension and other employee benefits and occupancy expenses. Pension and other employee benefits increased $36,000 or 8.6% primarily due to increased pension expense and an increase in social security and Medicare matching. Occupancy expense increased $22,000 or 7.8% primarily due to increased maintenance and repair expenses, increased office rental expense, and increased depreciation of bank premises.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2004 vs. 2003.

Total non-interest expense increased $482,000 or 4.1% during the first nine months of 2004 compared with the first nine months of 2003 primarily due to an $84,000 or 1.6% increase in salaries and wages, a $102,000 or 7.8% increase in pension and other employee benefits, a $70,000 or 8.4% increase in occupancy expense, and a $133,000 or 5.4% increase in other non-interest expenses. The increase in salaries and wages was primarily due to routine salary and wage increases. Pension and other employee benefits increased for substantially the same reasons described in the third quarter comparison above. Approximately $29,000 of the increase in occupancy expense was due to increased maintenance and repair expenses, and the rest was due to smaller increases in several different occupancy classifications. Items contributing to the increase in other non-interest expenses included maintenance contracts on computer software, telephone expense, and outside services.

Income Taxes

LCNBs effective tax rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 were 27.0% and 26.3%, respectively. The difference between the statutory rate of 34.0% and the effective tax rate is primarily due to tax-exempt interest income.

Operations (continued)

Financial Condition

Loans at September 30, 2004 were approximately $18.5 million greater than at December 31, 2003. The growth can be primarily attributed to the residential real estate loan portfolio, which was $14.3 million greater at September 30, 2004 than at December 31, 2003. The portfolio grew because, with the recent increase in market rates for residential real estate loans, LCNB is adding a greater percentage of new loans generated to its loan portfolio rather than selling them in the secondary market. Growth in the Homeline home equity loan portfolio and the commercial loan portfolio also contributed to the increase.

Interest-bearing deposits at September 30, 2004 were approximately $11.6 million less than at December 31, 2003. The decrease is due to a new $15.5 million trust account that was obtained near year end, 2003. The funds were temporarily deposited in a liquid, interest-bearing account at Lebanon Citizens until the trust department could invest them in other instruments during early 2004.

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

Operations (continued)

Average total interest-earning assets increased approximately $5.2 million or 1.1% during the third quarter, 2004 compared to the second quarter, 2004. The increase was due to growth in the loan portfolio, which increased $11.9 million on an average basis. This growth was primarily attributable to growth in the residential mortgage loan and commercial loan portfolios. The growth in the loan portfolio was partially offset by decreases in average federal funds sold and investment securities.

Average total interest-bearing liabilities for the third quarter, 2004, were $4.3 million or 1.1% greater than for the second quarter, 2004. The increase was primarily in interest-bearing deposits, which increased $4.3 million on an average basis. Certificate of deposit accounts equal to or greater than $100,000, savings accounts, and IRA accounts increased $5.0 million, $1.3 million, and $1.5 million, respectively, on an average basis. During the same period, money fund investment accounts and certificate of deposit accounts less than $100,000 decreased $2.2 million and $1.3 million, respectively, on an average basis.

Capital

Lebanon Citizens and LCNB are required by regulators to meet certain minimum levels of capital adequacy. These are expressed in the form of certain ratios. Capital is separated into Tier 1 capital (essentially shareholders' equity less goodwill and other intangibles) and Tier 2 capital (essentially the allowance for loan losses limited to 1.25% of risk-weighted assets). The first two ratios, which are based on the degree of credit risk in LCNB's assets, provide for weighting assets based on assigned risk factors and include off-balance sheet items such as loan commitments and stand-by letters of credit. The ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets must be at least 4.0% and the ratio of Total capital (Tier 1 capital plus Tier 2 capital) to risk-weighted assets must be at least 8.0%. The capital leverage ratio supplements the risk-based capital guidelines. Banks are required to maintain a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to adjusted quarterly average total assets of 3.0%. For various regulatory purposes, financial institutions are classified into categories based upon capital adequacy. The highest "well-capitalized" category requires capital ratios of at least 10% for total risk-based, 6% for Tier 1 risk-based, and 5% for leverage. As of the most recent notification from their regulators, Lebanon Citizens and LCNB were categorized as "well-capitalized" under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. Management believes that no conditions or events have occurred since the last notification that would change the Lebanon Citizens' or LCNB's category. A summary of the regulatory capital and capital ratios of LCNB follows:

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of

Operations (continued)

Liquidity

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

Liquidity is the ability to have funds available at all times to meet the commitments of LCNB. Asset liquidity is provided by cash and assets which are readily marketable or pledgeable or which will mature in the near future. Liquid assets include cash, federal funds sold and securities available for sale. At September 30, 2004, LCNB liquid assets amounted to $162.3 million or 31.3% of total gross assets, a decrease from $185.3 million or 35.4% at December 31, 2003.

Liquidity is also provided by access to core funding sources, primarily core depositors in the banks market area. Approximately 87.0% of total deposits at September 30, 2004 were core deposits. Core deposits, for this purpose, are defined as total deposits less public funds and certificates of deposit greater than $100,000.

Secondary sources of liquidity include LCNBs ability to sell loan participations, borrow funds from the Federal Home Loan Bank, purchase federal funds, and borrow funds from its Federal Reserve Primary Line. Management closely monitors the level of liquid assets available to meet ongoing funding needs. It is managements intent to maintain adequate liquidity so that sufficient funds are readily available at a reasonable cost. LCNB experienced no liquidity or operational problems as a result of the current liquidity levels.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks

For a discussion of LCNB's asset and liability management policies and gap analysis for the year ended December 31, 2003 see Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks, in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003. There have been no material changes in LCNB's market risks, which for LCNB is primarily interest rate risk.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

a) Disclosure controls and procedures. The Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of LCNB's disclosure controls and procedures that ensure that information relating to LCNB required to be disclosed by LCNB in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Based upon this evaluation, these officers have concluded, that as of September 30, 2004, LCNB's disclosure controls and procedures were adequate.

b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting. During the period covered by this report, there were no changes in LCNB's internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, LCNB's internal control over financial reporting.

Item 2. Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds

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

Under the "Market Repurchase Program" LCNB will purchase up to 100,000 shares of its stock through market transactions with a selected stockbroker. Through September 30, 2004, 59,531 shares had been purchased under this program. The following table shows information relating to the repurchase of shares under the Market Repurchase Program during the nine months ended September 30, 2004:

Total	27,377	$ 37.29	27,377	40,469

The "Private Sale Repurchase Program" is available to shareholders who wish to sell large blocks of stock at one time. Because LCNB's stock is not widely traded, a shareholder releasing large blocks may not be able to readily sell all shares through normal procedures. Purchases of blocks will be considered on a case-by-case basis and will be made at prevailing market prices. There is no limit to the number of shares that may be purchased under this program. A total of 160,144 shares have been purchased under this program since its inception. The following table shows information relating to private sale repurchases during the nine months ended September 30, 2004:
