(Unaudited)

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

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

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, which have been reviewed by J.D. Cloud & Co. L.L.P., LCNB’s independent registered public accounting firm, in accordance with standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, as indicated by their report included herein and which does not express an opinion on those statements, have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods, as required by Regulation S-X, Rule 10-01.

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 months ended March 31, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2009. 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 2008 Form 10-K filed with the SEC.

Note 2 - Investment Securities (continued)

Information concerning securities with gross unrealized losses at March 31, 2009, aggregated by length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous loss position, is as follows (thousands):

	Less than Twelve Months		Twelve Months or Greater
	Fair Value	Unrealized Losses	Fair Value	Unrealized Losses
U.S. Agency notes	11,396	89	-	-
U.S. Agency mortgage- backed securities	$ 22,906	409	1,767	6
Corporate securities	4,628	313	-	-
Municipal securities:
Non-taxable	21,286	478	767	40
Taxable	3,225	119	320	5
Trust preferred securities	452	45	-	-
Other debt securities	523	3	-	-
	$ 64,416	1,456	2,854	51

The unrealized losses are primarily due to increases in market interest rates. Unrealized losses on securities at March 31, 2009 have not been recognized in income currently because management has the intent and ability to hold the securities for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair values. Therefore, no individual declines are deemed to be other than temporary.

	2009	2008
Balance, beginning of year	$ 2,468	2,468
Provision for loan losses	98	83
Charge-offs	(197)	(193)
Recoveries	99	110
Net charge-offs	(98)	(83)
Balance, end of period	$ 2,468	2,468

Charge-offs for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 primarily consisted of consumer loans and checking and NOW account overdrafts.

Non-accrual, past-due, and restructured loans as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 were as follows (thousands):

	March 31, — 2009	2008
Non-accrual loans	$ 3,072	2,281
Past-due 90 days or more and still accruing	932	806
Restructured loans	2,494	332
Total	$ 6,498	3,419
Percent to total loans	1.46%	0.75%

Non-accrual loans at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 included a commercial real estate loan with a balance of $2,106,000 and $2,149,000, respectively. The balance decreased because the borrower entered into a third party short-term lease agreement during the fourth quarter 2008 whereby substantially all of the lease payment proceeds are remitted to LCNB. The borrower is continuing efforts to sell the property. Non-accrual loans at March 31, 2009 also include two commercial real estate loans totaling $670,000 which had been classified past-due 90 days or more and still accruing interest at December 31, 2008. The remaining balance of non-accrual loans at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 consisted of residential real estate mortgage loans.

Note 3 – Loans (continued)

Loans past-due 90 days or more and still accruing interest at March 31, 2009 included a commercial real estate loan with a balance of $356,000. The remainder of loans past-due 90 days at that date was primarily composed of consumer and residential mortgage loans. Loans past-due 90 days or more and still accruing interest at December 31, 2008 was primarily composed of the two commercial real estate loans mentioned previously and consumer and residential mortgage loans.

The increase in restructured loans is due to a $2.2 million commercial real estate loan restructured during the first quarter 2009. This loan had not been and is currently not delinquent in payments. Restructured loans at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 also include a commercial real estate loan in the amount of $308,000 and $310,000, respectively.

Loans sold to and serviced for others are not included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The unpaid principal balances of those loans at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 were $45,563,000 and $37,783,000, respectively. Loans sold to the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation during the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 totaled $10,034,000 and $643,000, respectively. The increase in the amount of mortgage loans sold is primarily due to an increase in the number of refinanced loans because of the general decline in market interest rates for residential mortgage loans in the first quarter of 2009.

Note 4 – Borrowings

Funds borrowed from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 are as follows (thousands):

All advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati are secured by a blanket pledge of LCNB’s 1-4 family first lien mortgage loans.

Note 5 - 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.

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 March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 were as follows (thousands):

	March 31, — 2009	2008
Commitments to extend credit:
Commercial loans	$ 2,150	4,376
Other loans
Fixed rate	3,584	1,033
Adjustable rate	1,049	302
Unused lines of credit:
Fixed rate	3,188	2,807
Adjustable rate	68,265	70,647
Unused overdraft protection amounts on demand and NOW accounts	10,391	10,408
Standby letters of credit	8,157	8,138
	$ 96,784	97,711

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

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. At March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, outstanding guarantees of approximately $1.8 million were issued to developers and contractors. These guarantees generally are fully secured and have varying maturities. In addition, LCNB has a participation in a letter of credit securing payment of principal and interest on a bond issue. The participation amount at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 was approximately $6.3 million.

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.

Material commitments for capital expenditures outstanding as of March 31, 2009 totaled approximately $830,000 and related primarily to the construction of a new branch facility in South Lebanon, Ohio.

Note 5 - Commitments and Contingent Liabilities (continued)

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

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

Note 6 – Regulatory Capital

On January 9, 2009, LCNB received $13.4 million of new equity capital from the U.S. Treasury Department’s Capital Purchase Program (CPP) established under the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008. The investment by the U.S. Treasury Department is comprised of $13.4 million in preferred shares, with a warrant to purchase 217,063 common shares of LCNB at an exercise price of $9.26, with a term of ten years. LCNB allocated $583,000 of the proceeds from the preferred stock issuance to the warrants. The resulting discount in the preferred stock is being amortized over five years and is being reported as an adjustment to preferred stock dividends.

The preferred shares will pay a dividend of 5% per year for the first five years and will pay 9% thereafter. Under the original terms, LCNB had the option to buy back the preferred shares anytime after three years, at par, without penalty. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 requires the U.S. Treasury Department to permit a participant in the CPP to repay any amounts previously received at any time without penalty, subject to consultation with the participant’s primary regulator. Participation in the CPP is voluntary and requires participating institutions to comply with a number of restrictions and provisions, including, but not limited to, restrictions on compensation of certain executive officers and limitations on stock repurchase activities and dividend payments. Generally, LCNB will be unable to increase dividends to common shareholders or repurchase common shares without U.S. Treasury Department permission for a period of three years from the date of participation unless the preferred securities are no longer held by the U.S. Treasury Department. Additionally, no dividends may be paid on common stock unless and until all accrued and unpaid dividends for all past dividend periods owed to the U.S. Treasury Department on the preferred shares are fully paid. For more information regarding the terms of agreement between LCNB and the U.S. Treasury Department under the CPP and the securities issued by LCNB to the Treasury thereunder, please see the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by LCNB with the SEC on January 9, 2009, which is hereby, along with exhibits thereto, incorporated by reference.

The Bank and LCNB are required by regulators to meet certain minimum levels of capital adequacy. These are expressed in the form of certain ratios. Capital is separated into Tier 1 capital (essentially shareholders' equity less goodwill and other intangibles) and Tier 2 capital (essentially the allowance for loan losses limited to 1.25% of risk-weighted assets). The first two ratios, which are based on the degree of credit risk in LCNB's assets, provide for weighting assets based on assigned risk factors and include off-balance sheet items such as loan commitments and stand-by letters of credit. The ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets must be at least 4.0% and the ratio of Total capital (Tier 1 capital plus Tier 2 capital) to risk-weighted assets must be at least 8.0%. The capital leverage ratio supplements the risk-based capital guidelines. Banks are required to maintain a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to adjusted quarterly average total assets of 3.0%.

Note 6 – Regulatory Capital (continued)

For various regulatory purposes, financial institutions are classified into categories based upon capital adequacy. The highest "well-capitalized" category requires capital ratios of at least 10% for total risk-based, 6% for Tier 1 risk-based, and 5% for leverage. As of the most recent notification from their regulators, the Bank and LCNB were categorized as "well-capitalized" under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. Management believes that no conditions or events have occurred since the last notification that would change the Bank's or LCNB's category. A summary of the regulatory capital and capital ratios of LCNB follows (thousands):

	At	At
	March 31,	December 31,

Note 7 – Employee Benefits

LCNB has a noncontributory defined benefit retirement plan that covers substantially all regular full-time employees. Effective January 1, 2009, LCNB redesigned its noncontributory defined benefit retirement plan and merged its single-employer plan into a multiple-employer plan, which is accounted for as a multi-employer plan because assets contributed by an employer are not segregated in a separate account or restricted to provide benefits only to employees of that employer. Accordingly, the assets and obligations of the single-employer plan were transferred to the multiple-employer plan in January 2009. At that time, in accordance with SFAS No. 87, “ Employers’ Accounting for Pensions, ” the pension plan related balance sheet accounts were adjusted resulting in an approximate $3.0 million increase in other comprehensive income and a $722,000 charge to non-interest expense in the consolidated statements of income. Employees hired on or after January 1, 2009 are not eligible to participate in this plan.

Note 7 – Employee Benefits (continued)

Effective February 1, 2009, LCNB amended the plan to reduce benefits for those whose age plus vesting service equaled less than 65 at that date. Also effective February 1, 2009, an enhanced 401-K plan was made available to those hired on or after January 1, 2009 and to those who received benefit reductions from the amendments to the noncontributory defined benefit retirement plan. Employees hired on or after January 1, 2009 will receive a 50% employer match on their contributions into the 401-K plan, up to a maximum LCNB contribution of 3% of each individual employee’s annual compensation. Employees who received a benefit reduction under the retirement plan amendments will receive an automatic contribution of 5% or 7% of annual compensation, depending on the sum of an employee’s age and vesting service, into the 401-K plan, regardless of the contributions made by the employees. This contribution will be made annually and these employees will not receive any employer matches to their 401-K contributions.

Effective February 1, 2009, LCNB established a nonqualified defined benefit retirement plan for certain highly compensated employees. The nonqualified plan ensures that participants receive the full amount of benefits to which they would have been entitled under the noncontributory defined benefit retirement plan in the absence of limits on benefit levels imposed by certain sections of the Internal Revenue Code. The terms of this plan are currently being formalized and LCNB expects the final document to be completed during the second quarter 2009.

The components of net periodic pension cost for the noncontributory defined benefit retirement plan for the three months ended March 31, 2008 are summarized as follows (thousands):

	For the Three Months
	Ended March 31,
	2008
Service cost	$ 187
Interest cost	140

Note 8 - Stock Options

Under the Ownership Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), LCNB may grant stock-based awards to eligible employees. The awards may be in the form of stock options, share awards, and/or appreciation rights. The Plan provides for the issuance of up to 200,000 common shares. As of March 31, 2009, only stock options have been granted under the Plan. Options granted to date vest ratably over a five year period and expire ten years after the date of grant. Stock options outstanding at March 31, 2009 were as follows:

Expiration Date	Outstanding — Number	Weighted Average Exercise Price	Exercisable — Number	Weighted Average Exercise Price	Number Exercised
Feb 2013	11,056	$ 13.09	11,056	$ 13.09	-

There was no aggregate intrinsic value (the amount by which the current market value of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price of the option) for options outstanding at March 31, 2009 because no options were “in the money” (market price greater than exercise price) at that date. The intrinsic value changes based on changes in the market value of LCNB’s stock.

Note 8 - Stock Options (continued)

The estimated weighted-average fair value of the options granted in the first quarter of 2009 and 2008 were $1.89 and $2.27 per option, respectively. The fair value was estimated at the dates of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and the following assumptions:

	2009	2008
Risk-free interest rate	3.49%	3.56%
Average dividend yield	4.04%	3.77%

Total expense related to options included in salaries and wages in the consolidated statements of income for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 was $6,000 and $8,000, respectively.

Note 9 - Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income, less preferred stock dividends and discount amortization, 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 months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 (thousands, except share and per share data):

	Ended March 31,

Note 10- Fair Value of Financial Instruments

LCNB adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “ Fair Value Measurements ,” and SFAS No. 159, “ The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities ,” on January 1, 2008. SFAS No. 159 permits, but does not require, companies to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The decision to elect the fair value option is made individually for each instrument and is irrevocable once made. Changes in fair value for the selected instruments are recorded in earnings. LCNB has not selected any financial instruments for the fair value option as of March 31, 2009.

SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosure requirements about fair value measurements. It establishes a fair value hierarchy to prioritize the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The three broad input levels defined by SFAS No. 157 are:

·

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

·

Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and

·

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

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.

The majority of LCNB’s financial debt securities are classified as available-for-sale as described in SFAS No. 115, “ Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities .” The securities are reported at fair value with unrealized holding gains and losses reported net of income taxes in accumulated other comprehensive income.

LCNB utilizes a pricing service for determining the fair values of most of its investment securities. Fair value for corporate securities is determined based on market quotations (level 1). Fair value for most of the other investment securities is calculated using the discounted cash flow method for each security. The discount rates for these cash flows are estimated by the pricing service using rates observed in the market (level 2). Cash flow streams are dependent on estimated prepayment speeds and the overall structure of the securities given existing market conditions. In addition, approximately $523,000 is invested in a mutual fund. LCNB uses the fair value estimate provided by the mutual fund company, which uses market quotations when such quotes are available and good faith judgment when market quotations are not available. Because LCNB does not know the portion of the mutual fund valued using market quotations and the portion valued using good faith judgment, the entire investment in the mutual fund has been classified as a level 3 investment. Additionally, Dakin owns stock in an insurance company and LCNB Corp. owns trust preferred securities in various financial institutions. Market quotations (level 1) are used to determine fair value for these investments.

Note 10 – Fair Value Measurements (continued)

The following table summarizes the valuation of LCNB’s available-for-sale securities by the input levels defined by SFAS No. 157 as of March 31, 2009 (thousands):

	Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using — Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)	Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)	Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Available-for-sale securities	$ 171,859	7,630	163,706	523

The following table is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of recurring fair value measurements that use significant unobservable inputs (level 3) for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 (thousands):

	For the Three Months

	2009	2008

Dividends reinvested	5	5
Net change in unrealized gains (losses) included in other comprehensive income	6	(5)
Ending balance	$ 523	2,092

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

Note 10 – Fair Value Measurements (continued)

Real estate acquired through foreclosure is adjusted to fair value upon transfer of the loan to foreclosed assets, usually based on an appraisal of the property. Subsequently, foreclosed assets are carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value. A valuation based on current appraised value is considered a level 2 fair value.

The table below presents LCNB’s impaired loans, real estate acquired through foreclosure, and repossessed assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of March 31, 2009 by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements fall (in thousands):

Note 11 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued three final Staff Positions (FSPs) on April 9, 2009 that provide additional application guidance and enhance disclosures regarding fair value measurements and impairments of securities. FSP FAS 157-4, “ Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly ,” provides guidelines for determining fair value measurements when an active market does not exist or where the price inputs represent distressed sales. FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “ Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments ,” provides that the frequency of fair value disclosures required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, “ Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments ,” will be increased from annually to quarterly. FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, “ Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments ,” provides additional guidance on determining and accounting for other-than-temporary impairments in investment securities. If an investment security is determined to be other-than-temporarily impaired and if the company does not intend to sell the security and it is not more likely than not that the security will be sold before the anticipated recovery of the impairment, the company will now be required to separate the impairment into the amount related to a credit loss and the amount related to other factors. The amount related to a credit loss will be recognized in earnings and the amount related to other factors will be recognized in other comprehensive income. This FSP also changes disclosure requirements in the notes to the financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders

LCNB Corp. and subsidiaries

Lebanon, Ohio

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of LCNB Corp. and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2009, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.

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

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

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of LCNB Corp. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2008, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein), and in our report dated February 27, 2009, 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, 2008, is fairly stated in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Forward Looking Statements

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

Results of Operations

Earnings for the first quarter of 2009 were $1,563,000 or $0.22 basic and diluted earnings per share, compared to $1,444,000 or $0.22 basic and diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of 2008. Return on average assets for the quarters ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 were 0.92% and 0.96%, respectively. Return on average equity for the first quarter 2009 was 8.47%, compared to 10.04% for the first quarter 2008.

The increase in net income during the first quarter 2009 was primarily due to a $895,000 increase in net interest income, a $67,000 increase in non-interest income, and a $44,000 decrease in the provision for income taxes. These favorable items were partially offset by an $872,000 increase in non-interest expense.

Net Interest Income

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 March 31, 2009 and 2008, 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.

Short-term borrowings	1	(5)	(4)
Long-term debt	69	(27)	42
Total interest expense	489	(1,392)	(903)
Net interest income	$ 513	473	986

Net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis for the three months ended March 31, 2009 totaled $6,200,000, an increase of $986,000 from the comparable period in 2008. Total tax-equivalent interest income increased $83,000 and total interest expense decreased $903,000.

The increase in total interest income was primarily due to an $84.8 million increase in average total earning assets, partially offset by a 76 basis point (a basis point equals 0.01%) decrease in the average rate earned on earning assets. The increase in average interest earning assets was primarily due to an $80.8 million increase in average investment securities. The increase was funded through a combination of increases in deposits, borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati, and $13.4 million received from the sale of preferred stock to the U.S. Treasury Department through its Capital Purchase Program. The decrease in the average rate earned reflects a general decrease in market rates.

The decrease in total interest expense was primarily due to a 107 basis point decrease in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities, partially offset by a $66.7 million increase in average interest-bearing liabilities. The increase in average interest-bearing liabilities was primarily due to a $59.3 million increase in average interest-bearing deposits and a $7.2 million increase in average long-term borrowings. The decrease in the average rate paid also reflects a general decrease in market rates.

Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses

The total provision for loan losses is determined based upon management's evaluation as to the amount needed to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level considered appropriate in relation to the risk of losses inherent in the portfolio. In addition to historic charge-off percentages, factors taken into consideration to determine the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses include the nature, volume, and consistency of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, a review of specific problem loans, and current economic conditions that may affect borrowers’ ability to pay. The provision for loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was $98,000 compared to $83,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008.

Non-Interest Income

Total non-interest income for the first quarter 2009 was $67,000 greater than for the first quarter 2008. This increase is primarily due to a $130,000 increase in gains from the sale of mortgage loans, partially offset by a $50,000 decrease in insurance agency income and a $25,000 decrease in service charges and fees. Gains from the sale of mortgage loans increased due to a greater volume of loans sold during the first quarter 2009 as compared to the first quarter 2008. The general decline in market interest rates has created an increased demand for refinanced loans during 2009. Loans sold during the first quarter 2009 totaled $10.0 million compared to $643,000 of loan sales during the 2008 period. Insurance agency income decreased due to a $66,000 decrease in contingency commissions, offset by an increase in commission income reflecting the sales of new policies. Contingency commissions are profit-sharing arrangements on property and casualty policies between the originating agency and the underwriter and are generally based on underwriting results and written premium. As such, the amount received each year can vary significantly depending on loss experience. The decrease in service charges and fees reflects a continuing downward trend in the amount of overdraft fees received.

Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest expense for the first quarter 2009 was $872,000 greater than for the first quarter 2008 primarily due to a $722,000 pension plan related charge. The remaining $150,000 increase was largely due to a $137,000 increases in salaries and benefits resulting from routine salary and wage increases and an increase in the number of employees. Secondary causes of the increase included a $44,000 increase in employee benefits resulting from increased retirement plan expenses and an $80,000 increase in occupancy expenses primarily due to increased costs for maintenance and repair and janitorial services.

These expense increases were partially offset by a $94,000 decrease in intangible amortization, primarily due to the amortization in full during 2008 of an intangible asset related to the purchase of three offices from another bank in 1997.

During the first quarter 2009, LCNB redesigned its retirement program to provide competitive benefits to employees and provide more predictable and lower retirement plan costs over the long term. Retirement plan changes include an enhanced 401-K plan, reduced pension plan benefits for employees whose age and vesting service do not meet certain thresholds, and merging LCNB’s single-employer pension plan into a multiple-employer plan. At the time the single-employer pension plan was merged into the multiple-employer plan, pension plan related balance sheet accounts were adjusted, resulting in an approximate $3.0 million after-tax increase in other comprehensive income and a $722,000 charge to non-interest expense ($477,000 on an after-tax basis).

Income Taxes

LCNB’s effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 were 21.6% and 24.8%, respectively. The difference between the statutory rate of 34.0% and the effective tax rate is primarily due to tax-exempt interest income from municipal securities and tax-exempt income from bank owned life insurance.

Financial Condition

Total assets at March 31, 2009 were $39.7 million greater than at December 31, 2008 primarily due to a $40.3 million increase in investment securities. This increase was funded through a $12.6 million increase in total deposits, a $15.0 million increase in borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati, and $13.4 million received from the sale of preferred stock to the U.S. Treasury Department through its Capital Purchase Program.

Net loans at March 31, 2009 were $7.6 million less than at December 31, 2008 primarily due to decreases totaling $8.8 million in residential real estate and consumer loans, partially offset by a $3.6 million increase in commercial real estate loans. Residential real estate loans decreased because approximately $10.0 million of new loans originated during the first quarter 2009 were sold to the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation. This compares to $643,000 of such loans sold during the first quarter 2008. The increase in the amount of loans sold reflects an increased demand for refinanced loans because of the general decline in market interest rates.

Total deposits increased in all categories except demand deposit accounts, which decreased $1.3 million, and certificate of deposit accounts with balances less than $100,000, which decreased $5.3 million. LCNB has been receiving a higher than normal increase in deposits due, in part, to the volatility of current economic conditions.

On January 9, 2009, LCNB received $13.4 million of new capital from the U.S. Treasury Department under the Capital Purchase Program (the “CPP”) and issued 13,400 shares of its Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A and a warrant to the U.S. Treasury Department for the purchase of 217,063 common shares of LCNB stock at an exercise price of $9.26. LCNB allocated $583,000 of the proceeds from the preferred stock issuance to the warrants. The resulting discount in the preferred stock is being amortized over five years and is being reported as an adjustment to preferred stock dividends. The issuance of preferred stock significantly increased LCNB’s capital and liquidity levels. The preferred stock pays a cumulative dividend of 5% per annum for the first five years and 9% per annum thereafter if not redeemed first. For more information regarding the terms of agreement between LCNB and the U.S. Treasury Department under the CPP and the securities issued by LCNB to the U.S. Treasury Department thereunder, please see the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by LCNB with the SEC on January 9, 2009 which is hereby, along with exhibits thereto, incorporated by reference.

Liquidity

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

Liquidity is the ability to have funds available at all times to meet the commitments of LCNB. Asset liquidity is provided by cash and assets which are readily marketable or pledgeable or which will mature in the near future. Liquid assets include cash, federal funds sold, interest-bearing demand deposits, and securities available for sale. At March 31, 2009, LCNB’s liquid assets amounted to $196.7 million or 28.5% of total assets, an increase from $154.3 million or 23.7% of total assets at December 31, 2008. Much of this increase was due to growth in investment securities.

Liquidity is also provided by access to core funding sources, primarily core deposits in the bank’s market area. Approximately 79.5% of total deposits at March 31, 2009 were core deposits, compared to 79.6% of deposits at December 31, 2008. Core deposits, for this purpose, are defined as total deposits less public funds and certificates of deposit equal to or greater than $100,000.

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

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

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued three final Staff Positions (FSPs) on April 9, 2009 that provide additional application guidance and enhance disclosures regarding fair value measurements and impairments of securities. FSP FAS 157-4, “ Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly ,” provides guidelines for determining fair value measurements when an active market does not exist or where the price inputs represent distressed sales. FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “ Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments ,” provides that the frequency of fair value disclosures required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, “ Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments ,” will be increased from annually to quarterly. FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, “ Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments ,” provides additional guidance on determining and accounting for other-than-temporary impairments in investment securities. If an investment security is determined to be other-than-temporarily impaired and if the company does not intend to sell the security and it is not more likely than not that the security will be sold before the anticipated recovery of the impairment, the company will now be required to separate the impairment into the amount related to a credit loss and the amount related to other factors. The amount related to a credit loss will be recognized in earnings and the amount related to other factors will be recognized in other comprehensive income. This FSP also changes disclosure requirements in the notes to the financial statements.

The FSPs are effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for interim and annual periods ending after March 15, 2009. With the exception of certain municipal securities purchased direct from local governmental entities, substantially all of LCNB’s investment securities are traded in active markets. LCNB management does not anticipate that adoption of these FSPs will have a material effect on LCNB’s consolidated financial statements.

LCNB CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks

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

The Bank's Asset and Liability Management Committee ("ALCO") primarily uses a combination of Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis (“IRSA”) and Economic Value of Equity (“EVE”) analysis for measuring and managing interest rate risk. IRSA is used to estimate the effect on net interest income during a one-year period of instantaneous and sustained movements in interest rates, also called interest rate shocks, of 100, 200, and 300 basis points. Management considers the results of the down 300 basis points scenario to not be meaningful in the current interest rate environment. The base projection uses a current interest rate scenario. As shown below, the March 31, 2009 IRSA indicates that an increase in interest rates would have a positive effect on net interest income (“NII”), and a decrease in rates would have a negative effect on NII. The changes in NII for all rate assumptions are within LCNB’s acceptable ranges.

Rate Shock Scenario in Basis Points		$ Change in NII	% Change in NII
Up 300	$ 25,627	595	2.38%
Up 200	25,466	434	1.73%
Up 100	25,213	181	0.72%
Base	25,032	-	-%
Down 100	24,875	(157)	-0.63%
Down 200	24,736	(296)	-1.18%

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. The EVE analysis at March 31, 2009 is shown below. It shows a negative effect on the EVE for increases in interest rates and a positive effect for decreases in interest rates. The changes in EVE, except for the up 300 basis points scenario, are within LCNB’s acceptable ranges. The up 300 basis points scenario is slightly outside LCNB’s policy range of a 25% change, but management has determined the change is acceptable in the current economic environment.

Rate Shock Scenario in Basis Points		$ Change in EVE	% Change in EVE
Up 300	$ 67,412	(22,689)	-25.18%
Up 200	74,729	(15,372)	-17.06%
Up 100	82,316	(7,785)	-8.64%
Base	90,101	-	-%
Down 100	95,633	5,532	6.14%
Down 200	101,853	11,752	13.04%

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

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

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

a) Disclosure controls and procedures. The Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of LCNB's disclosure controls and procedures that ensure that information relating to LCNB required to be disclosed by LCNB in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Based upon this evaluation, these officers have concluded, that as of March 31, 2009, LCNB's disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

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