Press Release

October 19, 2011

LCNB CORP. REPORTS FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR

THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2011

LCNB Corp. (LCNB) today announced net income of $1,867,000 (total basic and diluted earnings per common share of $0.28) and $6,161,000 (total basic and diluted earnings per common share of $0.92) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively.  This compares to $1,989,000 (total basic and diluted earnings per common share of $0.30) and $6,953,000 (total basic and diluted earnings per common share of $1.04) for the same three and nine-month periods in 2010.  

Net income from continuing operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $1,867,000 and $5,368,000, respectively.  This compares to $1,950,000 and $6,776,000 for the comparable periods in 2010.  Net income from discontinued operations, net of taxes, for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $793,000, which is a $616,000 increase from the same period in 2010.  This increase was caused by the sale of LCNB’s insurance agency subsidiary, Dakin Insurance Agency, Inc., during the first quarter 2011 and reflects the gain recognized on the sale less certain related closing costs, taxes, and a curtailment expense recognized in LCNB’s nonqualified defined benefit retirement plan due to the sale.

Net loan charge-offs for the first nine months of 2011 and 2010 totaled $876,000 and $1,694,000, respectively.  Non-accrual loans and loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest totaled $3,787,000 or 0.84% of total loans at September 30, 2011, compared to $4,061,000 or 0.89% of total loans at December 31, 2010.  The decrease was primarily due to the receipt of a guarantee payment on a Small Business Administration loan that had been classified as non-accrual at December 31, 2010.  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 $2,095,000 at September 30, 2011 and $2,114,000 at December 31, 2010.  The decrease is due to the sale of other repossessed assets during 2011.

Net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2011 increased $48,000 over the comparative period in 2010 primarily due to an increase in average interest earning assets, partially offset by a decrease in the net interest margin.  Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 decreased $29,000 from the comparative period in 2010 primarily due to a decrease in the net interest margin, partially offset by an increase in interest earning assets.  

Non-interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was $122,000 greater than the comparable period in 2010 primarily due to an increase in net gains from the sale of investment securities, partially offset by a decrease in net gains from the sale of mortgage loans.  Non-interest income for the nine-month period in 2011 was $358,000 less than the comparative period in 2010 primarily due to the absence in 2011 of death benefits received from bank owned life insurance during the second quarter 2010 and a decrease in net gains from the sale of mortgage loans.  These decreases were partially offset by an increase in net gains from the sale of investment securities.   

Non-interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2011 decreased $87,000 compared to the same period in 2010 primarily due to decreases in FDIC insurance premiums and foreclosed real estate write downs and holding costs, partially offset by an increase in employee salaries and benefits.  Non-interest expense for the first nine months of 2011 was $617,000 greater than the comparable period in 2010 primarily due to increases in employee salaries and benefits, partially offset by decreases in FDIC insurance premiums and on foreclosed real estate write downs and holding costs.
