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 and nine months ended September 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2010. 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 2009 Form 10-K filed with the SEC.

Note 2 - Investment Securities (continued)

Management has determined that the unrealized losses at September 30, 2010 are primarily due to fluctuations in market interest rates and do not reflect credit quality deterioration of the securities. Because LCNB does not have the intent to sell the investments and it is more likely than not that LCNB will not be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be at maturity, LCNB does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired.

Note 3 - Loans

Major classifications of loans at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 are as follows (in thousands):

	September 30,		December 31,
	2010		2009

Commercial and industrial	$	35,853		42,807
Commercial, secured by real estate		193,422		185,024
Residential real estate		194,703		193,293
Consumer		21,384		26,185
Agricultural		3,191		3,125
Other loans, including deposit overdrafts		9,415		9,422
		457,968		459,856
Deferred net origination costs		426		560
		458,394		460,416
Less allowance for loan losses		2,290		2,998
Loans, net	$	456,104		457,418

Loans sold to and serviced for others are not included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The unpaid principal balances of those loans at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 were $63,106,000 and $57,369,000, respectively. Loans sold to the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 totaled $9,958,000 and $12,512,000, respectively, and $2,481,000 and $26,033,000 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively. The amount of mortgage loans sold during the third quarter 2010 and the nine-month period in 2009 is primarily due to an above average number of refinanced loans during those periods resulting from a general decline in market interest rates during the respective periods.

Percent to total loans		2.77	%		2.40	%

Loans past-due 90 days or more and still accruing interest at September 30, 2010 were approximately $750,000 less than the balance at December 31, 2009 largely due to the transfer of loans totaling $618,000 at December 31, 2009 from this classification to non-accrual loans during 2010. Loans in this category at September 30, 2010 are primarily composed of consumer and residential mortgage loans.

The increase in restructured loans is due to two commercial real estate loans that were restructured during 2010, offset by the transfer of two loans totaling $1,001,000 at December 31, 2009 from restructured to non-accrual.

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.

The Bounce Protection product is offered as a service and does not constitute a contract between the customer and LCNB.

LCNB uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments. Financial instruments whose contract amounts represent off-balance-sheet credit risk at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 were as follows (in thousands):

	September 30,		December 31,
	2010		2009
Commitments to extend credit:
Commercial loans	$	9,797		10,020
Other loans
Fixed rate		3,715		359
Adjustable rate		322		537
Unused lines of credit:

Standby letters of credit		6,976		7,273
	$	102,539		102,536

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.

Note 6 – Commitments and Contingent Liabilities (continued)

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. At September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, outstanding guarantees of approximately $1,446,000 and $1,744,000, respectively, were issued to various types of businesses. 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 September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was approximately $5.5 million. The agreement has a final maturity date of July 15, 2012.

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 stocks, bonds, depository accounts, property, plant and equipment, residential realty, and income-producing commercial properties.

Commitments for capital expenditures outstanding as of September 30, 2010 totaled approximately $410,000.

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

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

Note 7 – Regulatory Capital

On January 9, 2009, LCNB received $13.4 million of new equity capital from the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Capital Purchase Program (the “CPP”) established under the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008. The investment by the Treasury Department was 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. The preferred shares were scheduled to pay a dividend of 5% per year for the first five years and 9% thereafter. Participation in the CPP was voluntary and participating institutions were required 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.

On October 21, 2009, LCNB entered into a repurchase agreement with the Treasury Department pursuant to which it redeemed all 13,400 shares of its preferred shares. In connection with this redemption, LCNB paid approximately $13.5 million to the Treasury Department, which included the original investment amount of $13.4 million plus accrued and unpaid dividends of approximately $123,000.

Note 7 – Regulatory Capital (continued)

LCNB did not repurchase the warrant issued to the Treasury Department as part of the CPP. Pursuant to the terms of the repurchase agreement, the warrant has been cancelled and LCNB has issued a substitute warrant to the Treasury Department with the same terms as the original warrant, except that Section 13(H) of the original warrant, which related to the reduction of shares subject to the warrant in the event that LCNB raised $13.4 million in a qualified stock offering prior to December 31, 2009, has been removed. The substitute warrant remains outstanding at September 30, 2010.

On April 20, 2010, LCNB obtained shareholder approval to increase the number of authorized common shares from 8,000,000 to 12,000,000.

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

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

Note 8 – Employee Benefits

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

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 Internal Revenue Code 401(k) plan (the “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 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 receive an automatic contribution of 5% or 7% of annual compensation, depending on the sum of an employee’s age and vesting service, into the 401(k) plan, regardless of the contributions made by the employees. This contribution is made annually and these employees do not receive any employer matches to their 401(k) contributions.

Funding and administrative costs of the qualified noncontributory defined benefit retirement plan and 401(k) plan charged to pension and other employee benefits in the consolidated statements of income for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 were as follows (in thousands):

	For the Three Months				For the Nine Months

Qualified noncontributory defined benefit retirement plan	$	71		7		192		124

401(k) plan		76		58		229		170

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 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 September 30, 2010 that were “in the money” (market price greater than exercise price) was $83,000. The aggregate intrinsic value at that date for only the options that were exercisable was $16,000. The intrinsic value changes based on changes in the market value of LCNB’s stock.

The estimated weighted-average fair value of the options granted in the first quarter of 2010 and 2009 were $2.27 and $1.89 per option, respectively. The fair value was estimated at the dates of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and the following assumptions:

	2010			2009
Risk-free interest rate		3.34	%		3.49	%
Average dividend yield		4.31	%		4.04	%
Volatility factor of the expected market price of LCNB’s common stock		28.32	%		27.54	%
Average life in years		7.0			9.0

Total expense related to options included in salaries and wages in the consolidated statements of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 were $11,000 and $30,000, respectively, and $9,000 and $23,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively.

A total of 2,511 restricted shares were granted in February 2010. These shares will vest in November 2010. Until they vest, they are restricted from sale, transfer, or assignment in accordance with the terms of the agreement under which they were issued. Compensation cost for restricted stock grants are calculated using the fair value of LCNB’s common stock and the number of shares issued. No restricted shares were granted prior to February 2010.

Note 10 - Earnings per Common Share

Basic earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is adjusted for the dilutive effects of stock options, warrant, and restricted stock. The diluted average number of common shares outstanding has been increased for the assumed exercise of stock options, warrant, and restricted stock with proceeds used to purchase treasury shares at the average market price for the period. The computations were as follows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 (dollars in thousands, except share and per share data):

Note 11 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments

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

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

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

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

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

LCNB utilizes a pricing service for determining the fair values of most of its investment securities. Fair value for U.S. Treasury notes and corporate securities are determined based on market quotations (level 1). Fair value for most of the other investment securities is calculated using the discounted cash flow method for each security. The discount rates for these cash flows are estimated by the pricing service using rates observed in the market (level 2). Cash flow streams are dependent on estimated prepayment speeds and the overall structure of the securities given existing market conditions. In addition, approximately $570,000 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 measured using level 3 inputs. Additionally, Dakin owns stock in an insurance company and LCNB Corp. owns trust preferred securities in various financial institutions and purchased a small portfolio of stock in non-financial companies during the third quarter 2010. Market quotations (level 1) are used to determine fair value for these investments. Dakin also owns stock in another insurance agency. A market does not exist for the other insurance agency’s stock. This stock is considered to have level 3 inputs.

Note 11- Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)

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 nine months ended September 30, 2010 (in thousands):

	Total		Other Debt Securities		Equity Securities

Dividends reinvested		14		14		-
Net change in unrealized gains (losses) included in other comprehensive income		18		18		-
Ending balance	$	593		570		23

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 and if this value is less than the loan balance. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or current appraised value, the inputs are considered to be level 2. When an appraised value is not available and there is not an observable market price, the inputs are considered to be level 3.

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

Note 11 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)

The fair value of off-balance-sheet financial instruments at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was not material.

Fair values of financial instruments are based on various assumptions, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Therefore, the fair values presented may not represent amounts that could be realized in actual transactions. In addition, because the required disclosures exclude certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments, any aggregation of the fair value amounts presented would not represent the underlying value of the Company. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of certain financial instruments:

Cash and cash equivalents

The carrying amounts presented are deemed to approximate fair value.

Investment securities

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

Loans

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

Deposits

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

Borrowings

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

Note 12 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-18, “Effect of a Loan Modification When the Loan is Part of a Pool That Is Accounted for as a Single Asset,” was issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) in April 2010. This update applies to the modification of a loan or loans that are part of a pool that is accounted for in the aggregate under the terms of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 310-30-15-6. As a result of the amendments in the update, modifications of loans that are accounted for within a pool do not result in the removal of the modified loans from the pool, even if the modification is considered a troubled debt restructuring. The amendments in the update are effective for modifications occurring in the first interim or annual period ending on or after July 15, 2010. LCNB does not currently account for any loans on a pooled basis and does not anticipate that adoption of this update will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-20, “Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses” was issued by the FASB in July 2010. The update significantly expands required disclosures for an entity’s allowance for loan losses and the credit quality of its loan portfolio. For public entities, enhanced disclosures as of the end of the reporting period will be effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending on or after December 15, 2010. Enhanced disclosures about activity that occurs during a reporting period are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010.

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 September 30, 2010, and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for each of the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009. 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 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, 2009, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein), and in our report dated February 22, 2010, 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, 2009, 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

LCNB’s net income available to common shareholders was $1,989,000 or $0.30 basic and diluted earnings per common share and $6,953,000 or $1.04 basic earnings per share and $1.03 diluted earnings per common share for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010, respectively. Net income available to common shareholders was $1,837,000 or $0.27 basic and diluted earnings per common share and $4,932,000 or $0.74 basic and diluted earnings per common share for the comparable periods in 2009. The increase in net income available to common shareholders for the nine-month comparative period resulted primarily from increases in net interest income and non-interest income. In addition, preferred stock dividends and discount accretion reduced net income available to common shareholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 by $514,000. LCNB did not have these costs during 2010 because the preferred stock was redeemed from the U.S. Department of the Treasury in October 2009. The increase in net income available to common shareholders for the three-month comparative period resulted primarily from a decrease in the provision for loan losses, the absence of $206,000 of preferred stock dividends and discount accretion recognized during the 2009 period, and increases in net interest income and non-interest income.

Net interest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 increased $69,000 and $904,000, respectively, over the comparative periods in 2009 primarily due to growth in interest-earning assets and a reduction in general market rates. Non-interest income for the three and nine-month periods in 2010 was $141,000 and $932,000 greater than the comparative periods in 2009. The three-month period was greater primarily due to an increase in gains from sales of mortgage loans resulting from a greater volume of sales during the 2010 period. The nine-month period was greater primarily due to death benefits received from bank owned life insurance during the second quarter 2010 and an increase in gains from sales of investment securities.

Net loan charge-offs for the first nine months of 2010 and 2009 totaled $1,695,000 and $639,000, respectively. The increase in charge-offs was related to certain commercial loans.

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

Non-accrual loans and loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest totaled $3,245,000 or 0.71% of total loans at September 30, 2010, compared to $3,863,000 or 0.84% of total loans at December 31, 2009. Other real estate owned (which includes property acquired through foreclosure or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure and also includes property deemed to be in-substance foreclosed) and other repossessed assets totaled approximately $2,157,000 at September 30, 2010 and $2,470,000 at December 31, 2009. The reduction was primarily due to valuation write-downs.

Net Interest Income

Three Months Ended September 30, 2010 vs. 2009.

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, 2010 and 2009, average balances for interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, the income or expense related to each item, and the resulting average yields earned or rates paid.

The following table presents the changes in taxable-equivalent basis interest income and expense for each major category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the amount of change attributable to volume and rate changes for the three months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the same period in 2009. Changes not solely attributable to rate or volume have been allocated to volume and rate changes in proportion to the relationship of absolute dollar amounts of the changes in each.

Net interest income on a fully tax-equivalent basis for the three months ended September 30, 2010 totaled $6,780,000, an increase of $57,000 from the comparable period in 2009. Total interest expense decreased $374,000, partially offset by a $317,000 decrease in interest income.

The decrease in total interest income was due to a 42 basis point (one basis point equals 0.01%) decrease in the average rate earned on earning assets, partially offset by a $32.6 million increase in average earning assets. The increase in interest earning assets was primarily due to a $25.3 million increase in average investment securities and a $5.7 million increase in interest-bearing demand deposits. The decrease in the average rate earned on earning assets was primarily due to general decreases in market interest rates.

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 33 basis point decrease in the average rate paid, partially offset by a $31.8 million increase in average interest-bearing liabilities. The decrease in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities was primarily due to general decreases in market interest rates. The increase in average interest-bearing liabilities was due to a $26.3 million increase in average interest-bearing deposits and to a $5.8 million increase in average short-term borrowings. Average short-term borrowings increased due to the introduction of a new repurchase agreement product during the fourth quarter 2009.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010 vs. 2009.

The decrease in total interest income was primarily due to a 36 basis point decrease in the average rate earned on earning assets, partially offset by a $37.0 million increase in average total earning assets. The increase in average earning assets was primarily due to a $28.5 million increase in average investment securities and a $7.0 million increase in average loans. The decrease in the average rate earned on earning assets was primarily due to general decreases in market interest rates.

LCNB CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES

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

The decrease in total interest expense was due primarily to a 44 basis point decrease in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities, partially offset by a $40.7 million increase in average interest-bearing liabilities. The decrease in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities was primarily due to general decreases in market interest rates. The increase in average interest-bearing liabilities was due to a $29.5 million increase in average interest-bearing deposits, a $5.8 million increase in average short-term borrowings, and a $5.4 million increase in average long-term debt. Average short-term borrowings increased due to the introduction of a new repurchase agreement product during the fourth quarter 2009. Average long-term debt increased due to additional borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati during the first and third quarters of 2009.

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 September 30, 2010 and 2009 was $268,000 and $664,000, respectively, and $987,000 and $970,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Charge-offs for the 2010 period included a charge-off for one commercial real estate borrower totaling $684,000, charge-offs for two other commercial real estate borrowers totaling $228,000, and a charge-off on one commercial and industrial loan totaling $281,000. Charge-offs for the 2009 period included charge-offs on three commercial real estate loans totaling $352,000. The allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2010 was $509,000 less than at December 31, 2009 because a substantial portion of the 2010 charge-offs described above had previously been provided for and included in the allowance.

Non -Interest Income

Three Months Ended September 30, 2010 vs. 2009.

Non-interest income for the third quarter of 2010 was $141,000 more than for the same period in 2009 primarily due to a $149,000 increase in gains from sales of mortgage loans. Gains from sales of mortgage loans increased due to a higher volume of sales to the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation during the 2010 period. Loan sales during the third quarter 2010 totaled $9,958,000 compared to $2,481,000 in sales during the third quarter 2009. The increase in the amount of mortgage loans sold is primarily due to an increase in the number of loans being refinanced, reflecting historically low market interest rates for residential mortgage loans during the third quarter 2010.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010 vs. 2009.

Non-interest income for the first nine months of 2010 was $932,000 greater than for the same period in 2009 primarily due to a $767,000 increase in bank owned life insurance income and a $116,000 increase in net gains from sales of securities. The increase in bank owned life insurance income was due to death benefits received during the second quarter 2010.

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

Despite the increase in gains from sales of mortgage loans during the third quarter 2010, total gains from sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $134,000 less than for the comparable period in 2009. Loan sales for the first nine months of 2010 totaled $12,512,000, compared to $26,033,000 of loan sales for the first nine months of 2009.

Non-Interest Expense

Three Months Ended September 30, 2010 vs. 2009.

Total non-interest expense increased $668,000 during the third quarter 2010 as compared to the third quarter 2009 primarily due to write-downs in other real estate owned properties totaling $305,000, a $144,000 increase in salaries and wages, and a $111,000 increase in pension and other employee benefits.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010 vs. 2009.

Total non-interest expense increased $44,000 during the first nine months of 2010 as compared to the first nine months of 2009 primarily due to write-downs of other real estate owned properties totaling $389,000, a $268,000 increase in salaries and wages, and a $141,000 increase in occupancy expense. Occupancy expense increased partially due to the opening of the new South Lebanon office in June 2009. These increases in non-interest expense were largely offset by the absence of an industry-wide FDIC special assessment of $325,000 that LCNB recognized during the second quarter 2009 and the absence of a $722,000 one-time pension plan related charge recognized in the first quarter 2009.

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 nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 were 20.7% and 22.1%, respectively. The difference between the statutory rate of 34.0% and the effective tax rate is primarily due to tax-exempt interest income from municipal securities and tax-exempt earnings from bank owned life insurance.

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

Financial Condition

Total assets at September 30, 2010 were $47.5 million greater than at December 31, 2009. The growth in total assets was funded by a $48.2 million increase in total deposits. Much of the deposit growth was placed in cash and cash equivalents and in LCNB’s investment securities portfolio. Cash and cash equivalents increased $28.0 million and investment securities increased $20.7 million.

Total deposits were greater at September 30, 2010 largely due to a $27.7 million increase in public fund deposits by local government entities. Public fund deposits can be relatively volatile due to seasonal tax collections and the financial needs of the local entities. LCNB believes that much of the increase at September 30, 2010 was due to seasonal property tax receipts and other tax receipts. The remaining deposit growth resulted from increases in demand deposit, NOW, money fund deposit, and savings account product balances, while time deposits (not including public fund time deposits) decreased by $1.9 million during this time period.

Net loans at September 30, 2010 were $1,314,000 less than at December 31, 2009. This decrease was comprised of a $2,022,000 decrease in total loans resulting in part from charge-offs incurred during the period, partially offset by a $708,000 net decrease in the allowance for loan losses. Commercial and industrial loans decreased $6,954,000 and consumer loans decreased $4,801,000. These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $8,398,000 in commercial real estate loans and an increase of $1,410,000 in residential real estate loans. In addition to the increase in residential real estate loans held in LCNB’s loan portfolio, another $12,512,000 of residential real estate loans were originated and sold to the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation during the first nine months of 2010. Consumer loans decreased primarily due to weak demand. Commercial real estate loans increased due to new originations, including refinancings of loans originally held by other lenders, and draws on construction projects.

The investment securities portfolio at September 30, 2010 was $20.7 million greater than at December 31, 2009. Most of the growth was in U.S. Treasury notes, U.S. Agency notes, and taxable municipal securities. These three categories increased by a combined total of $27.3 million. These increases were partially offset by a $9.1 million decrease in U.S. Agency mortgage-backed securities.

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, would be necessary for the Bank to pay dividends in excess of this amount. In addition, dividend payments may not reduce capital levels below minimum regulatory guidelines. Management believes the Bank will be able to pay anticipated dividends to LCNB without needing to request approval.

Liquidity is the ability to have funds available at all times to meet the commitments of LCNB. Asset liquidity is provided by cash and assets which are readily marketable or pledgeable or which will mature in the near future. Liquid assets include cash and cash equivalents and securities available for sale. At September 30, 2010, LCNB’s liquid assets amounted to $263.5 million or 33.7% of total assets, an increase from $214.2 million or 29.2% of total assets at December 31, 2009. Most of this growth was due to growth in cash and cash equivalents and securities available for sale.

Liquidity is also provided by access to core funding sources, primarily core depositors in the bank’s market area. Approximately 77.0% of total deposits at September 30, 2010 were “core” deposits, compared to 79.8% of deposits at December 31, 2009. Core deposits, for this purpose, are defined as total deposits less public funds and certificates of deposit greater than $100,000. The percentage of core deposits to total deposits decreased because of the growth in public fund deposits discussed above in relation to total growth in deposits.

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

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

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks

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

The Bank's Asset and Liability Management Committee ("ALCO") primarily uses a combination of Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis (“IRSA”) and Economic Value of Equity (“EVE”) analysis for measuring and managing interest rate risk. IRSA is used to estimate the effect on net interest income during a one-year period of instantaneous and sustained movements in interest rates, also called interest rate shocks, of 100, 200, and 300 basis points. Management considers the results of the down 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 September 30, 2010 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	Amount		$ Change in NII			% Change in NII
	(Dollars in thousands)
Up 300	$	54,027		1,653			3.16	%
Up 200		53,392		1,018			1.94	%
Up 100		52,768		394			0.75	%
Base		52,374		-			-	%
Down 100		52,023		(351	)		-0.67	%
Down 200		51,841		(533	)		-1.02	%

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 September 30, 2010 EVE analysis indicates that an increase in interest rates would have a negative effect on the EVE and a decrease in rates would have a positive effect on the EVE. The changes in EVE for all rate assumptions are within LCNB’s acceptable ranges.

Rate Shock Scenario in Basis Points	Amount		$ Change in EVE			% Change in EVE
	(Dollars in thousands)
Up 300	$	67,225		(16,931	)		-20.12	%
Up 200		73,533		(10,623	)		-12.62	%

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

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

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

a) Disclosure controls and procedures. The Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of LCNB's disclosure controls and procedures that ensure that information relating to LCNB required to be disclosed by LCNB in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to LCNB’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, in order to allow timely decisions to be made regarding required disclosures. Based upon this evaluation, these officers have concluded, that as of September 30, 2010, 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.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Act”) was signed into law by President Barack Obama on July 21, 2010. The Act includes provisions that will specifically affect financial institutions and other entities providing financial services and other corporate governance and compensation provisions that will affect most public companies.

The Act establishes a new independent regulatory body within the Federal Reserve System that will be known as the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (the “Bureau”). The Bureau will assume responsibility for most consumer protection laws and will have broad authority, with certain exceptions, to regulate financial products offered by banks and non-banks. The Bureau will have authority to supervise, examine, and take enforcement actions with respect to depository institutions with more than $10 billion in assets, non-bank mortgage industry participants, and other Bureau-designated non-bank providers of consumer financial services. The primary regulator for depository institutions with $10 billion or less in assets will continue to have primary examination and enforcement authority for these institutions. The regulations enforced, however, will be the regulations written by the Bureau. The nature or impact of regulations to be written by the Bureau cannot be predicted at this time.

The Act directs federal bank regulators to develop new capital requirements for holding companies and depository institutions that address activities that pose risk to the financial system, such as significant activities in higher risk areas, or concentrations in assets whose reported values are based on models. The exact nature of the new capital requirements to be developed or their impact on LCNB cannot be predicted at this time.

The Act permanently raises the FDIC maximum deposit insurance amount to $250,000. The maximum amount had been temporarily set at $250,000 beginning October 3, 2008 and effective until December 31, 2013, as extended, when it would have reverted back to $100,000. The increase is retroactive to apply to any depositors of financial institutions for which the FDIC had been appointed as receiver or conservator between January 1 and October 3, 2008. In addition, the Act places a floor on the FDIC’s reserve ratio at 1.35% of estimated insured deposits or the comparable percentage of the assessment base. The higher insurance amount and reserve ratio floor will most likely impact future insurance premiums to be paid by LCNB and other insured depository institutions.

General corporate governance provisions included in the Act include expanded executive compensation disclosures that are included in the annual proxy statement, requiring non-binding shareholder advisory votes on executive compensation at annual meetings, enhanced independence requirements for compensation committee members and any advisors used by the compensation committee, and requiring the adoption of certain compensation policies including the recovery of executive compensation in the event of a financial statement restatement.

The Act contains many other provisions, the impact of which cannot be determined at this time.
