DESCRIPTION OF LCNB CORP.'S BUSINESS

General Description

LCNB Corp., an Ohio corporation formed in December, 1998, is a financial holding company headquartered in Lebanon, Ohio. Through its subsidiaries, LCNB National Bank (formerly Lebanon Citizens National Bank) (the “Bank") and Dakin Insurance Agency, Inc. ("Dakin"), LCNB is engaged in the commercial banking and insurance agency businesses. LCNB Corp. and its subsidiaries are herein collectively referred to as “LCNB”.

The predecessor of LCNB Corp., the Bank, was formed as a national banking association in 1877. On May 19, 1999, the Bank became a wholly-owned subsidiary of LCNB. At the close of business on December 20, 2007, Sycamore National Bank (“Sycamore”) merged with and into the Bank. A Cincinnati, Ohio based commercial bank, Sycamore operated from two offices located on Cincinnati’s West side. These two offices became branches of the Bank at the time of the merger. The Bank's main office is located in Warren County, Ohio and 23 branch offices, which includes Sycamore’s two offices, are located in Warren, Butler, Clinton, Clermont, Hamilton, and Montgomery Counties, Ohio. In addition, the Bank operates 31 automated teller machines ("ATMs") in its market area. Another branch office, which will include an ATM, is currently being planned for the City of Centerville, Montgomery County, Ohio.

The Bank is a full service community bank offering a wide range of commercial and personal banking services. Deposit services include checking accounts, NOW accounts, savings accounts, Christmas and vacation savings, money market deposit accounts, Classic 50 accounts (a senior citizen program), individual retirement accounts, and certificates of deposit. Deposits of the Bank are insured up to applicable limits by the Deposit Insurance Fund, which is administered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”).

Loan products offered include commercial loans, commercial and residential real estate loans, construction loans, various types of consumer loans, and Small Business Administration loans. The Bank's residential mortgage lending activities consist primarily of loans for purchasing or refinancing personal residences, home equity lines of credit, and loans for commercial or consumer purposes secured by residential mortgages. Consumer lending activities include automobile, boat, home improvement and personal loans. The Bank also offers indirect financing through various automotive, boat, and lawn and garden dealers.

The Trust and Investment Management Division of the Bank performs complete trust administrative functions and offers agency and trust services, retirement savings products, and mutual fund investment products to individuals, partnerships, corporations, institutions and municipalities.

Security brokerage services are offered by the Bank through arrangements with UVEST Financial Services, Inc., a registered broker/dealer. Licensed brokers offer a full range of investment services and products, including financial needs analysis, mutual funds, securities trading, annuities, and life insurance.

Other services offered include safe deposit boxes, night depositories, U.S. savings bonds, travelers' checks, money orders, cashier's checks, bank-by-mail, ATMs, cash and transaction services, debit cards, wire transfers, electronic funds transfer, utility bill collections, notary public service, personal computer based cash management services, 24 hour telephone banking, PC Internet banking, and other services tailored for both individuals and businesses.

The Bank is not dependent upon any one significant customer or specific industry. Business is not seasonal to any material degree.

The address of the main office of the Bank is 2 North Broadway, Lebanon, Ohio 45036; telephone (513) 932-1414. Its primary market area encompasses all of Butler, Warren, and Clinton Counties and portions of Clermont, Hamilton, and Montgomery Counties.

Dakin, an Ohio corporation, has been an independent insurance agency in Lebanon, Ohio since 1876. It was acquired by LCNB on April 11, 2000. Its primary office is at 24 East Mulberry Street, Lebanon, Ohio 45036; telephone (513) 932-4010. Dakin maintains additional offices in the Bank's Maineville, Mason, and Loveland offices. Dakin is engaged in selling and servicing personal and commercial insurance products and annuity products and is regulated by the Ohio Department of Insurance.

Competition

The Bank faces strong competition both in making loans and attracting deposits. The deregulation of the banking industry and the wide spread enactment of state laws that permit multi-bank holding companies as well as the availability of nationwide interstate banking has created a highly competitive environment for financial services providers. The Bank competes with other national and state banks, savings and loan associations, credit unions, finance companies, mortgage brokerage firms, realty companies with captive mortgage brokerage firms, mutual funds, insurance companies, brokerage and investment banking companies, and other financial intermediaries operating in its market and elsewhere, many of whom have substantially larger financial and managerial resources.

The Bank seeks to minimize the competitive effect of other financial institutions through a community banking approach that emphasizes direct customer access to the Bank's president and other officers in an environment conducive to friendly, informed, and courteous personal services. Management believes that the Bank is well positioned to compete successfully in its primary market area. Competition among financial institutions is based upon interest rates offered on deposit accounts, interest rates charged on loans and other credit and service charges, the quality and scope of the services rendered, the convenience of the banking facilities, and, in the case of loans to commercial borrowers, relative lending limits.

Management believes the commitment of the Bank to personal service, innovation, and involvement in the communities and primary market areas it serves, as well as its commitment to quality community banking service, are factors that contribute to its competitive advantage.

Dakin competes with numerous other independent and exclusive insurance agencies (an exclusive agent sells for only one insurance company) and with insurance companies that sell direct to individuals and businesses without using agents. Dakin competes by representing high quality insurance companies, providing personalized and responsive service to its clients, and providing convenient office locations.

Supervision and Regulation

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 ("SOX") was signed into law by President George W. Bush on July 30, 2002. The purpose of SOX is to strengthen accounting oversight and corporate accountability by enhancing disclosure requirements, increasing accounting and auditor regulation, creating new federal crimes, and increasing penalties for existing federal crimes. SOX directly impacts publicly traded companies, certified public accounting firms auditing public companies, attorneys who work for public companies or have public companies as clients, brokerage firms, investment bankers, and financial analysts who work for brokerage firms or investment bankers. Key provisions affecting LCNB include:

Certification of financial reports by the chief executive officer ("CEO") and the chief financial officer ("CFO"), who are responsible for designing and monitoring internal controls to ensure that material information relating to the issuer and its consolidated subsidiaries is made known to the certifying officers by others within the company;

Inclusion of an internal control report in annual reports that include management's assessment of the effectiveness of a company's internal control over financial reporting and a report by the company's independent registered public accounting firm attesting to the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting;

Accelerated reporting of stock trades on Form 4 by directors and executive officers;

Disgorgement requirements of incentive pay or stock-based compensation profits received within twelve months of the release of financial statements if the company is later required to restate those financial statements due to material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement that resulted from misconduct;

Disclosure in a company's periodic reports stating if it has adopted a code of ethics for its CFO and principal accounting officer or controller and, if such code of ethics has been implemented, immediate disclosure of any change in or waiver of the code of ethics;

Disclosure in a company's periodic reports stating if at least one member of the audit committee is a "financial expert," as that term is defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"); and

Implementation of new duties and responsibilities for a company's audit committee, including independence requirements, the direct responsibility to appoint the outside auditing firm and to provide oversight of the auditing firm's work, and a requirement to establish procedures for the receipt, retention, and treatment of complaints from a company's employees regarding questionable accounting, internal control, or auditing matters.

In addition, the SEC adopted final rules on September 5, 2002, which rules were amended in December, 2005, requiring accelerated filing of quarterly and annual reports. Under the amended rules, “large accelerated filers” include companies with a market capitalization of $700 million or more and “accelerated filers” include companies with a market capitalization between $75 million and $700 million. Large accelerated filers are required to file their annual reports within 60 days of year-end and quarterly reports within 40 days. Accelerated filers are required to file their annual and quarterly reports within 75 days and 40 days, respectively. These new accelerated filing deadlines were effective for fiscal years ending on or after December 15, 2005. Under the new rules, LCNB is considered an accelerated filer.

LCNB Corp. and the Bank are subject to an extensive array of banking laws and regulations that are intended primarily for the protection of the customers and depositors of LCNB's subsidiaries rather than holders of LCNB's securities. These laws and regulations govern such areas as permissible activities, loans and investments, and rates of interest that can be charged on loans and reserves. LCNB and the Bank also are subject to general U.S. federal laws and regulations and to the laws and regulations of the State of Ohio. Set forth below are brief descriptions of selected laws and regulations applicable to LCNB and the Bank.

LCNB Corp., as a financial holding company, is regulated under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the "Act"), and is subject to the supervision and examination of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve Board"). The Act requires the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board for a bank or financial holding company to acquire or hold more than a 5% voting interest in any bank and restricts interstate banking activities.

On September 29, 1994, the Act was amended by the Interstate Banking and Branch Efficiency Act of 1994, which authorizes interstate bank acquisitions anywhere in the country, effective one year after the date of enactment, and interstate branching by acquisition and consolidation, effective June 1, 1997, in those states that have not opted out by that date.

The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, which amended the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 and other banking related laws, was signed into law on November 12, 1999. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act repealed certain sections of the Glass-Steagall Act and substantially eliminated the barriers separating the banking, insurance, and securities industries. Effective March 11, 2000, qualifying bank holding companies could elect to become financial holding companies. Financial holding companies have expanded investment powers, including affiliating with securities and insurance firms and engaging in other activities that are "financial in nature or incidental to such financial activity" or "complementary to a financial activity." The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act defines "financial in nature" to include:

securities underwriting, dealing, and market making;

sponsoring mutual funds and investment companies;

insurance underwriting and agency;

merchant banking activities; and

other activities that the Federal Reserve Board, in consultation with and subject to the approval of the Treasury Department, determines are financial in nature.

Financial holding companies may commence the activities listed above or acquire a company engaged in any of those activities without additional approval from the Federal Reserve. Notice of the commencement or acquisition must be provided to the Federal Reserve within thirty days of the start of the activity. Sixty days advance notice is required before the start of any activity that is "complementary to a financial activity."

The Financial Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989 ("FIRREA") provides that a holding company and its controlled insured depository institutions are liable for any loss incurred by the FDIC in connection with the default of any FDIC assisted transaction involving an affiliated insured bank or savings association.

The Bank is subject to the provisions of the National Bank Act. The Bank is subject to primary supervision, regulation and examination by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the "OCC"). The Bank is also subject to the rules and regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the FDIC. Under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and under Regulations of the Federal Reserve Board pursuant thereto, a bank or financial holding company and its subsidiaries are prohibited from engaging in certain tie-in arrangements in connection with the extension of credit.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA") substantially revised the bank regulatory and funding provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and several other federal banking statutes. Among its many reforms, FDICIA, as amended:

Required regulatory agencies to take "prompt corrective action" with financial institutions that do not meet minimum capital requirements;

Established five capital tiers: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized;

Imposed significant restrictions on the operations of a financial institution that is not rated well-capitalized or adequately capitalized;

Prohibited a depository institution from making any capital distributions, including payments of dividends or paying any management fee to its holding company, if the institution would be undercapitalized as a result;

Implemented a risk-based premium system;

Required an audit committee to be comprised of outside directors;

Required a financial institution with more than $1 billion in total assets to issue annual, audited financial statements prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles; and

Required a financial institution with more than $1 billion in total assets to document, evaluate, and report on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control system and required an independent public accountant to attest to management's assertions concerning the bank's internal control system.

The members of an audit committee for banks with more than $1 billion in total assets must be independent of management. Only a majority, rather than all, of the members of an audit committee for banks with total assets between $500 million and $1 billion must be independent.

Financial institutions that are public companies, such as LCNB, are not relieved from their SOX internal control reporting and attestation requirements or their audit committee independence requirements by the provisions of FDICIA.

At December 31, 2007, the Bank was well capitalized based on FDICIA's guidelines.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Reform Act of 2005 and the Federal Deposit Insurance Reform Conforming Amendments Act of 2005 (collectively, the “Deposit Insurance Reform Acts”) were both signed into law during February, 2006. The provisions of the Deposit Insurance Reform Acts included:

Merging the Bank Insurance Fund and the Savings Association Insurance Fund into a new fund called the Deposit Insurance Fund, effective March 31, 2006;

Increasing insurance coverage for retirement accounts from $100,000 to $250,000, which increase was effective April 1, 2006;

Adjusting deposit insurance levels of $100,000 for non-retirement accounts and $250,000 for retirement accounts every five years based on an inflation index, with the first adjustment to be effective on January 1, 2011;

Eliminating a 1.25% hard target Designated Reserve Ratio, as defined, and giving the FDIC discretion to set the Designated Reserve Ratio within a range of 1.15% to 1.50% for any given year;

Eliminating certain restrictions on premium rates the FDIC charges covered institutions and establishing a risk-based premium system; and

Providing for a one-time credit for institutions that paid premiums to the Bank Insurance Fund or the Savings Association Insurance Fund prior to December 31, 1996.

LCNB and the Bank are also subject to the state banking laws of Ohio. Ohio adopted nationwide reciprocal interstate banking effective October, 1988. However, banking laws of other states may restrict branching of banks to other counties within the state and acquisitions or mergers involving banks and bank holding companies located in other states. Additionally, Dakin Insurance Agency, Inc. is subject to State of Ohio insurance regulations and rules and its activities are regulated by the State of Ohio Department of Insurance.

Noncompliance with laws and regulations by bank holding companies and banks can lead to monetary penalties and/or an increased level of supervision or a combination of these two items. Management is not aware of any current significant instances of noncompliance with laws and regulations and does not anticipate any problems maintaining compliance on a prospective basis. Recent regulatory inspections and examinations of LCNB and the Bank have not disclosed any significant instances of noncompliance.

The earnings and growth of LCNB are affected not only by general economic conditions, but also by the fiscal and monetary policies of the federal government and its agencies, particularly the Federal Reserve Board. Its policies influence the amount of bank loans and deposits and the interest rates charged and paid thereon and thus have an effect on earnings. The nature of future monetary policies and the effect of such policies on the future business and earnings of LCNB and the Bank cannot be predicted.

A substantial portion of LCNB's cash revenues is derived from dividends paid by the Bank. These dividends are subject to various legal and regulatory restrictions. Generally, dividends are limited to the aggregate of current year retained net income, as defined, plus the retained net income of the two most previous prior years. In addition, dividend payments may not reduce capital levels below minimum regulatory guidelines.

Employees

As of December 31, 2007, LCNB, the Bank, and Dakin employed 241 full-time equivalent employees. LCNB is not a party to any collective bargaining agreement. Management considers its relationship with its employees to be very good. Employee benefit programs are considered by Management to be competitive with benefit programs provided by other financial institutions and major employers within LCNB’s market area.

Availability of Financial Information

LCNB files unaudited quarterly financial reports on Form 10-Q, annual financial reports on Form 10-K, current reports on Form 8-K, and amendments to these reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15 (d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 with the SEC.

Total	$	170,963

Risk Elements

Generally, a loan is placed on non-accrual status when there is an indication that the borrower's cash flows may not be sufficient to meet payments as they become due, unless the loan is well secured and in the process of collection. Subsequent cash receipts on a non-accrual loan are recorded as a reduction of principal, and interest income is recorded once principal recovery is reasonably assured. The current year's accrued interest on loans placed on non-accrual status is charged against earnings. Previous years' accrued interest is charged against the allowance for loan losses.

The following table summarizes non-accrual, past-due, and restructured loans for the dates indicated:


		At December 31,
		2007	2006	2005	2004	2003
		(Dollars in thousands)

Non-accrual loans	$	120	872	785	-	794

Non-accrual loans at December 31, 2007 consisted of two real estate mortgage loans. Non-accrual loans at December 31, 2006 consisted of a real estate mortgage loan and a home equity line of credit made to the same borrower and one loan secured by farmland. Non-accrual loans at December 31, 2005 consisted of two real estate mortgage loans. Non-accrual loans at December 31, 2003 included a commercial loan in the amount of $564,000, which was paid in full during the second quarter, 2004; a consumer loan in the amount of $146,000; and residential real estate mortgage loans in the amount of $84,000. Interest income that would have been recorded during 2007, 2006, 2005, and 2003 if loans on a non-accrual status at the end of those years had been current and in accordance with their original terms was approximately $5,000, $48,000, $20,000 and $72,000, respectively.

Loans classified as past-due 90 days or more and still accruing interest at December 31, 2007 consisted of twelve consumer loans totaling $89,000 and three residential mortgage loans totaling $158,000. Loans classified as past-due 90 days or more and still accruing interest at December 31, 2006 consisted of six consumer loans totaling $52,000 and two residential mortgage loans totaling $74,000. Loans past-due 90 days or more and still accruing interest at December 31, 2005 consisted primarily of consumer loans. Loans classified as past-due 90 days or more and still accruing interest at December 31, 2004 consisted of consumer loans totaling $104,000 and residential mortgage loans totaling $61,000. Loans past-due 90 days or more and still accruing interest at December 31, 2003 included $2,030,000 of commercial loans that were re-written during 2004 and classified as restructured at December 31, 2004. The remaining balance of loans past-due 90 days or more and still accruing interest at December 31, 2003 consisted of consumer loans totaling $136,000, residential mortgage loans totaling $146,000, and a loan with a balance of $130,000 that was secured by farmland.

Restructured loans at December 31, 2007 consisted of a commercial loan secured by commercial real estate and a matured home equity line of credit currently being paid under a forbearance agreement. The commercial loan secured by commercial real estate has a principal balance of $2,198,000 and is classified as restructured because of LCNB’s agreement during the second quarter, 2007 to waive the required principal payments for a period of one year, pending the sale of the underlying collateral property. Restructured loans at December 31, 2005 and 2004 consisted of a commercial loan whose predecessor loans were classified as loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing at December 31, 2003, at which time they had a total balance of $2,030,000. Principal payments of $100,000 and $213,000 were made on these loans in 2005 and 2004, respectively. Information received during the first quarter, 2004, raised uncertainties concerning the collectibility of certain collateral and management transferred the loans to the non-accrual classification, where they remained until they were re-written in October, 2004. All related interest due on the predecessor loans was paid during October, 2004, and the loans were re-written at that time. Such interest was recorded on a cash basis as received. The restructured loan is secured by a combination of mortgages and other collateral. It was not classified as restructured at December 31, 2006 or 2007 because the loan was current and had a market interest rate.

LCNB is not committed to lend additional funds to debtors whose loans have been modified to provide a reduction or deferral of principal or interest because of deterioration in the financial position of the borrower.

At December 31, 2007, there were no material additional loans not already disclosed as non-accrual, restructured, accruing past due 90 days or more, or impaired where known information about possible credit problems of the borrowers causes management to have serious doubts as to the ability of such borrowers to comply with present loan repayment terms.

Summary of Loan Loss Experience

The table summarizing the activity related to the allowance for loan losses is included in Item 7, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Components of the Allowance for Loan Losses

The Bank continuously reviews the loan portfolio for credit risk through the use of its lending and loan review functions. Independent loan reviews analyze specified loans and lending functions as a validation that credit risks are appropriately identified and reported to the Loan Committee and Board of Directors. In addition, the Board of Directors’ Audit Committee receives loan review reports multiple times throughout each year.

Inputs from all of the Bank’s credit risk identification processes are used by management to analyze and validate the adequacy and methodology of the allowance quarterly. The analysis includes three basic components: specific allocations for individual loans, general historical loss allocations for pools of loans based on loss ratios, and allocations based on identified economic and other risk factors which adjust the historical loss ratios. Due to the number, size, and complexity of loans within the loan portfolio, there is always a possibility of inherent undetected losses. This, combined with the possible imprecision of management’s assumptions in the evaluation of loans, results in the allowance also having an unallocated component.

Current methodology used by management to estimate the allowance takes into consideration historic categorical trends, current delinquency levels as related to historical levels, portfolio growth rates, changes in composition of the portfolio, the current economic environment, as well as the current allowance adequacy in relation to the portfolio. Management is cognizant that reliance on historical information coupled with the cyclical nature of the economy, including credit cycles, affects the allowance. Management considers all of these factors prior to making any adjustments to the allowance due the subjectivity and imprecision involved in allocation methodology.

As of December 31, 2007 the specific allocation component of the allowance represented 35% of the total allowance as compared to 31% as of December 31, 2006 and 35% as of December 31, 2005. The historical loss allocation component was 16% of the total allowance as of December 31, 2007 as compared to 13% as of December 31, 2006 and 18% as of December 31, 2005. Changes between 2007 and 2006 primarily represent increases due to changes in historical ratios resulting from the Sycamore acquisition coupled with fewer loan loss recoveries in 2007. The decrease from 2005 to 2006 was primarily from fewer loan losses in 2006 than prior years, which lowered the historical ratio.

The economic/other adjustment component of the allowance was 48% of the total allowance as of December 31, 2007 as compared to 51% as of December 31, 2006 and 37% as of December 31, 2005. The decrease from 2006 to 2007 was minimal and primarily a result of improvement to various elements within the loan portfolio. The increase from 2005 to 2006 was due to increased origination volume of indirect auto loans coupled with deterioration in local employment and general regional economic conditions. This increase was partially offset by improvements in internal risk-identified elements within the loan portfolio.

The following table presents the allocation of the allowance for loan loss:

This allocation is made for analytical purposes. The total allowance is available to absorb losses from any category of the portfolio. Increased allocations for December 31, 2007, are generally due to the higher loan volume created by the acquisition of Sycamore National Bank. The decrease in the commercial and industrial category at December 31, 2007 is due to additional collateral obtained on a loan, combined with a partial pay-down in that loan’s principal balance. Both actions allowed for a reduction in the potential loss allocated to that loan. The increase in the commercial, secured by real estate category at December 31, 2007 is largely due to an increased loss allocation on the loan currently classified as restructured. The decrease in the commercial, secured by real estate category at December 31, 2006 is due to improvements in credit quality, primarily reflecting the reclassification of the loan that was included in the restructured category at December 31, 2005 and 2004. The increase in the allocation to the commercial, secured by real estate category at December 31, 2005 reflects growth in the portfolio and an increase in the dollar volume of loans assigned to the higher-risk classifications of substandard or doubtful. The increase in the allocation to the residential real estate category at December 31, 2005 reflects an increase in non-accrual loans and foreclosures at LCNB, an increase in residential second mortgage and home equity loans with high (90% or more) loan-to-value ratios, and an increase in bankruptcies and foreclosures in the Southwestern Ohio economy in general. The decrease in the allocation to the consumer loan category at December 31, 2005 reflects decreased delinquencies. The decrease in the allocation to the commercial and industrial category at December 31, 2004 reflects decreased delinquencies. There is not an allocation to the credit card category for 2007, 2006, 2005, or 2004 because this portfolio was sold during the first quarter, 2004.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There are risks inherent in LCNB’s operations, many beyond management’s control, which may adversely affect its financial condition and results from operations and should be considered in evaluating the company. Credit, market, operational, liquidity, interest rate and other risks are described elsewhere in this report. Other risk factors may include the items described below.

LCNB’s earnings are significantly affected by market interest rates.

Fluctuations in interest rates may negatively impact LCNB’s profitability. A primary source of income from operations is net interest income, which is equal to the difference between interest income earned on loans and investment securities and the interest paid for deposits and other borrowings. These rates are highly sensitive to many factors beyond LCNB’s control, including general economic conditions, the slope of the yield curve (that is, the relationship between short and long-term interest rates), and the monetary and fiscal policies of the United States Federal government. LCNB expects the current level of interest rates and the current slope of the yield curve will cause further downward pressure on its net interest margin.

Increases in general interest rates could have a negative impact on LCNB’s results of operations by reducing the ability of borrowers to repay their current loan obligations. Some residential real estate mortgage loans, most home equity line of credit loans, and approximately 59.9% of LCNB’s commercial loans have adjustable rates. Borrower inability to make scheduled loan payments due to a higher loan cost could result in increased loan defaults, foreclosures, and write-offs and may necessitate additions to the allowance for loan losses. In addition, increases in the general level of interest rates may decrease the demand for new consumer and commercial loans, thus limiting LCNB’s growth and profitability. A general increase in interest rates may also result in deposit disintermediation, which is the flow of deposits away from banks and other depository institutions into direct investments that have the potential for higher rates of return, such as stocks, bonds, and mutual funds. If this occurs, LCNB may have to rely more heavily on borrowings as a source of funds in the future, which could negatively impact its net interest margin.

Banking competition in Southwestern Ohio is intense.

LCNB faces strong competition for deposits, loans, trust accounts, and other services from other banks, savings banks, credit unions, mortgage brokers, and other financial institutions. Many of LCNB’s competitors include major financial institutions that have been in business for many years and have established customer bases, numerous branches, and substantially higher regulatory lending limits. Dominant competitors in the Southwestern Ohio area include U.S. Bank, National City Corporation, Fifth Third Bank, Chase, KeyBank, Huntington National Bank, First Financial Bank, and Peoples Community Bank. In addition, credit unions are growing larger due to more flexible membership requirement regulations and are offering more financial services than they legally could in the past.

LCNB also competes with numerous real estate brokerage firms, some owned by realty companies, for residential real estate mortgage loans. Incentives offered by captive finance companies owned by the major automobile companies, primarily General Motors Acceptance Corporation (GMAC), Chrysler Financial, and Ford Motor Credit Company (FMCC), have limited the banking industry’s opportunities for growth in the new automobile loan market. The banking industry now competes with brokerage firms and mutual fund companies for funds that would have historically been held as bank deposits. Technology has lowered barriers to entry and made it possible for non-banks to offer products and services traditionally provided by banks, such as automatic transfer and automatic payment systems. Many of these competitors have fewer regulatory constraints and may have lower cost structures.

If LCNB is unable to attract and retain loan, deposit, and trust customers, its growth and profitability levels may be negatively impacted.

Economic conditions in Southwestern Ohio could adversely affect LCNB’s financial condition and results of operations.

LCNB has 24 offices located in Warren, Butler, Clinton, Clermont, Hamilton, and Montgomery Counties in Southwestern Ohio. As a result of this geographic concentration, LCNB’s results are heavily influenced by economic conditions in this area. A deterioration in economic conditions or a natural or manmade disaster in Southwestern Ohio or Ohio in general could have a material adverse impact on the ability of borrowers to make scheduled loan payments, the fair value of underlying loan collateral, the ability of depositors to maintain or add to deposit balances, the demand for trust and brokerage services, and the demand for other products and services offered by LCNB.

The allowance for loan losses may be inadequate.

The provision for loan losses is determined by management based upon its evaluation of the amount needed to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level considered appropriate in relation to the estimated 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, the fair value of any underlying collateral, and current economic conditions that may affect borrowers’ ability to make payments. Increases in the allowance result in an expense for the period. By its nature, the evaluation is imprecise and requires significant judgment. Actual results may vary significantly from management’s assumptions. If, as a result of general economic conditions or a decrease in asset quality, management determines that additional increases in the allowance for loan losses are necessary, LCNB will incur additional expenses.

LCNB’s loan portfolio includes a substantial amount of commercial and industrial loans and commercial real estate loans, which may have more risks than residential or consumer loans.

LCNB’s commercial and industrial and commercial real estate loans comprise a substantial portion of its total loan portfolio. These loans generally carry larger loan balances and involve a greater degree of financial and credit risk than home equity, residential mortgage, or consumer loans. The increased financial and credit risk associated with these types of loans is a result of several factors, including the concentration of principal in a limited number of loans, the size of loan balances, the effects of general economic conditions on income-producing properties, and the increased difficulty of evaluating and monitoring these types of loans.

The repayment of loans secured by commercial real estate is often dependent upon the successful operation, development, or sale of the related real estate or commercial business and may, therefore, be subject to adverse conditions in the real estate market or economy. If the cash flow from the project is reduced, the borrower’s ability to repay the loan may be impaired. In such cases, LCNB may take one or more actions to protect its financial interest in the loan. Such actions may include foreclosure on the real estate securing the loan, taking possession of other collateral that may have been pledged as security for the loan, or modifying the terms of the loan. If foreclosed on, commercial real estate is often unique and may not be as salable as a residential home.

LCNB is subject to environmental liability risk associated with lending activities.

A significant portion of the Bank’s loan portfolio is secured by real property. During the ordinary course of business, the Bank may foreclose on and take title to properties securing certain loans. In doing so, there is a risk that hazardous or toxic substances could be found on these properties. If hazardous or toxic substances are found, the Bank may be liable for remediation costs, as well as for personal injury and property damage. Environmental laws may require the Bank to incur substantial expenses and may materially reduce the affected property’s value or limit the Bank’s ability to use or sell the affected property. In addition, future laws or more stringent interpretations or enforcement policies with respect to existing laws may increase the Bank’s exposure to environmental liability. Although the Bank has policies and procedures to perform an environmental review before initiating any foreclosure action on real property, these reviews may not be sufficient to detect all potential environmental hazards. The remediation costs and any other financial liabilities associated with an environmental hazard could have a material adverse effect on the LCNB’s financial condition and results of operations.

The banking industry is highly regulated.

Commercial banks are highly regulated. LCNB is subject to regulation, supervision, and examination by the Federal Reserve Board and the Bank is subject to regulation, supervision, and examination by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the “OCC”). LCNB and the Bank are also subject to regulation and examination by the FDIC, as the deposit insurer. Federal and state laws and regulations govern numerous matters including, but not limited to, changes in the ownership or control of banks, maintenance of adequate capital, permissible business operations, maintenance of deposit insurance, protection of customer financial privacy, the level of reserves held against deposits, restrictions on dividend payments, the making of loans, and the acceptance of deposits. See the previous section titled “Supervision and Regulation” for more information on this subject.

Federal regulators may initiate various enforcement actions against a financial institution that violates laws or regulations or that operates in an unsafe or unsound manner. These enforcement actions may include, but are not limited to, the assessment of civil money penalties, the issuance of cease-and-desist or removal orders, and the imposition of written agreements.

Proposals to change the laws governing financial institutions are periodically introduced in Congress and proposals to change regulations are periodically considered by the regulatory bodies. Such future legislation and/or changes in regulations could increase or decrease the cost of doing business, limit or expand permissible activities, or affect the competitive balance among banks, savings associations, credit unions, and other financial institutions. The likelihood of any major changes in the future and their effects are impossible to determine.

LCNB may fail to realize the anticipated benefits of the merger with Sycamore.

LCNB and Sycamore may not be able to integrate their operations without encountering difficulties, including the loss of key employees and customers, the disruption of ongoing business or possible inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures and policies. Additionally, in determining that the merger is in the best interests of LCNB and Sycamore, both the LCNB and the Sycamore Boards of Directors considered enhanced earnings opportunities. There can be no assurance, however, that any enhanced earnings will result from the merger.

Future growth and expansion opportunities may contain risks.

From time to time LCNB may seek to acquire other financial institutions or parts of those institutions or may engage in de novo branch expansion. It may also consider and enter into new lines of business or offer new products or services. Such activities involve a number of risks, which may include, among other risks, potential inaccuracies in estimates and judgments used to evaluate the expansion opportunity, diversion of management and employee attention, lack of experience in a new market or product or service, and difficulties in integrating a future acquisition or introducing a new product or service. There is no assurance that such growth or expansion activities will be successful or that they will achieve desired profitability levels.

LCNB’s controls and procedures may fail or be circumvented.

Management regularly reviews and updates LCNB’s internal controls, disclosure controls and procedures, and corporate governance policies and procedures. Any system of controls, however well designed and operated, is based in part on certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurances that the objectives of the system are met. Any failure or circumvention of LCNB’s controls and procedures or failure to comply with regulations related to its controls and procedures could have a material adverse effect on LCNB’s business, results of operations, and financial condition.

LCNB’s information systems may experience an interruption or breach in security.

LCNB relies heavily on communications and information systems to conduct its business. Any failure, interruption, or breach in security of these systems could result in failures or disruptions in LCNB’s customer relationship management, general ledger, deposit, loan, and other systems. While LCNB has policies and procedures designed to prevent or limit the effect of the failure, interruption, or security breach of its information systems, there can be no assurance that any such occurrences will not occur or, if they do occur, that they will be adequately addressed. The occurrence of any failures, interruptions, or security breaches of LCNB’s information systems could damage LCNB’s reputation, result in a loss of customer business, subject LCNB to additional regulatory scrutiny, or expose LCNB to civil litigation and possible financial liability, any of which could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition and results of operations.

Risk factors related to LCNB’s trust business.

Competition for trust business is intense. Competitors include other commercial bank and trust companies, brokerage firms, investment advisory firms, mutual fund companies, accountants, and attorneys.

LCNB’s trust business is directly affected by conditions in the debt and equity securities markets. The debt and equity securities markets are affected by, among other factors, domestic and foreign economic conditions and the monetary and fiscal policies of the United States Federal government, all of which are beyond LCNB’s control. Changes in economic conditions may directly affect the economic performance of the trust accounts in which clients’ assets are invested. A decline in the fair value of the trust accounts caused by a decline in general economic conditions directly affects LCNB’s trust fee income because such fees are primarily based on the fair value of the trust accounts. In addition, a sustained decrease in the performance of the trust accounts or a lack of sustained growth may encourage clients to seek alternative investment options.

In addition, the management of trust accounts is subject to the risk of mistaken distributions, poor investment choices, and miscellaneous other incorrect decisions. Such mistakes may give rise to surcharge actions by beneficiaries, with damages substantially in excess of the fees earned from management of the accounts.

Risk factors related to Dakin Insurance Agency, Inc.

Competition within the insurance agency business is also intense. Dakin competes with numerous other independent and exclusive insurance agencies (an exclusive agent sells for only one insurance company) and with insurance companies that sell direct to individuals and businesses without using agents.

Premium growth within the insurance industry tends to exhibit a cyclical nature. Premium growth might average double digits during the first part of the cycle and then be negative during the later part of the cycle. Such cycles appear to be heavily influenced by general economic conditions, but can also be affected by natural disasters, stock market returns, and the reinsurance market. Deterioration in economic conditions may also have a material adverse impact on the ability of insurance customers to make scheduled premium payments.

Commissions paid independent agents by insurance carriers have been trending downward. Agents therefore need to continually write new business to prevent earnings decreases.

PART II

Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters, and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.

LCNB had approximately 735 registered holders of its common stock as of December 31, 2007. The number of shareholders includes banks and brokers who act as nominees, each of whom may represent more than one shareholder. The common stock is currently traded on the Nasdaq Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board service under the symbol "LCNB". Several market-makers facilitate the trading of the shares of common stock. Trade prices for shares of LCNB Common Stock, reported through registered securities dealers, are set forth below. Trades have occurred during the periods indicated without the knowledge of LCNB. The trade prices shown below are interdealer without retail markups, markdowns or commissions. The prices shown for 2006 and the first and second quarters of 2007 have been restated to reflect a 100% stock dividend, accounted for as a stock split, paid on May 10, 2007.


		2007		2006
		High	Low	High	Low

First Quarter	$	18.475	15.000	19.100	18.625
Second Quarter		17.000	13.050	19.500	18.000
Third Quarter		14.500	12.500	19.785	18.125
Fourth Quarter		13.950	11.000	18.650	17.875

The following table presents cash dividends per share declared and paid in the periods shown. Prices for 2006 and the first quarter of 2007 have been restated to reflect the stock dividend mentioned above. The dividend for the second quarter, 2007 was declared after the stock dividend.


		2007	2006

First Quarter	$	0.155	0.15
Second Quarter		0.155	0.15
Third Quarter		0.155	0.15
Fourth Quarter		0.155	0.15
Total	$	0.620	0.60

It is expected that LCNB will continue to pay dividends on a similar schedule, to the extent permitted by business and other factors beyond management's control. 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 OCC, 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.

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

Under the "Market Repurchase Program" LCNB was originally authorized to purchase up to 200,000 shares of its stock, as restated for the stock dividend paid in May, 2007, through market transactions with a selected stockbroker. On November 14, 2005, the Board of Directors extended the Market Repurchase Program by increasing the shares authorized for repurchase to 400,000 total shares, as restated for the stock dividend. Through December 31, 2007, 290,444 shares, as restated for the stock dividend, have been purchased under this program. No shares were purchased under the Market Repurchase Program during the three months ended December 31, 2007.

The "Private Sale Repurchase Program" is available to shareholders who wish to sell large blocks of stock at one time. Because LCNB's stock is not widely traded, a shareholder releasing large blocks may not be able to readily sell all shares through normal procedures. Purchases of blocks will be considered on a case-by-case basis and will be made at prevailing market prices. There is no limit to the number of shares that may be purchased under this program. A total of 466,018 shares, as restated for the stock dividend in May, 2007, have been purchased under this program since its inception through December 31, 2007. No shares were purchased under the Private Sale Repurchase Program during the three months ended December 31, 2007.

LCNB established an Ownership Incentive Plan during 2002 that allows for the issuance of up to 200,000 shares, as restated for the stock dividend in May, 2007, of stock-based awards to eligible employees, as determined by the Board of Directors. The awards may be in the form of stock options, share awards, and/or appreciation rights. Only stock options had been awarded at December 31, 2007. The following table shows information relating to stock options outstanding at December 31, 2007:


Plan Category	Number of Securities to be Issued upon Exercise of Outstanding Options		Weighted Average Exercise Price of Outstanding Options		Number of Securities Remaining Available for Future Issuance

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Introduction

The following is management's discussion and analysis of the consolidated financial condition and consolidated results of operations of LCNB. It is intended to amplify certain financial information regarding LCNB and should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes and the Financial Highlights contained in the 2007 Annual Report to Shareholders.

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 the Company 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.

Acquisitions

At the close of business on December 20, 2007, LCNB acquired Sycamore in a stock and cash transaction valued at approximately $9.6 million. Sycamore operated two full–service branches in Cincinnati, Ohio, which became branches of the Bank. As of December 20, 2007, Sycamore had total assets of $48.9 million, total loans, net of the related allowance for loan losses, of $42.8 million, and total deposits of $44.4 million.

The transaction, which was accounted for under the purchase accounting method, included the recognition of approximately $343,000 of core deposit intangibles and goodwill of $5,742,000. The goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets, including the core deposit intangible. The core deposit intangible is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 6 years. Goodwill is not amortized, but is instead subject to an annual review for impairment. Sycamore’s results of operations are included in the consolidated financial results of LCNB from the acquisition date.

On May 31, 2006, Dakin purchased the existing book of business of Altemeier Oliver & Company Agency, Inc. (“AOC”), an independent insurance agency located in Blue Ash, Ohio. The acquisition of AOC was accounted for using the purchase accounting method and the results of operations of AOC have been included in the consolidated financial statements of LCNB since the acquisition date. The acquired assets consisted solely of a customer list intangible asset. This intangible asset is being amortized on a straight-line basis over a ten year period.

Overview

LCNB earned $5,954,000 in 2007, compared to $6,514,000 in 2006 and $6,705,000 in 2005. Basic and diluted earnings per share for 2007, 2006, and 2005 were $0.94, $1.00, and $1.01, respectively.

Net interest income for 2007, 2006, and 2005 was $18,153,000, $18,315,000, and $18,570,000, respectively. Net interest income for 2007 was $162,000 lower than net interest income for 2006 primarily due a decrease in the taxable equivalent net interest margin from 3.84% for 2006 to 3.77% for 2007. Net interest income decreased $255,000 during 2006 as compared to 2005 primarily due to a decrease in the taxable equivalent net interest margin from 3.99% for 2005 to 3.84% for 2006, partially offset by an increase in average interest earning assets.

Total non-interest income grew from $7,956,000 for 2005 to $8,345,000 for 2006 and $8,346,000 for 2007. Primary drivers of the 2006 increase were trust income, primarily from growth in trust and brokerage assets managed, increases in service charges and fees, and increases in insurance agency income.

Total non-interest expense also increased annually from 2005 to 2007. Total non-interest expense for 2005 was $17,243,000, $17,838,000 for 2006, and $18,344,000 for 2007. Normal salary and wage increases and increased employee benefit costs comprised a significant portion of this increase.

Net Interest Income

The amount of net interest income earned by LCNB is influenced by the dollar amount ("volume") and mix of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities and the rates earned or paid on each. The following table presents, for the years indicated, the distribution of average assets, liabilities and shareholders' equity, as well as the total dollar amounts of interest income from average interest earning assets and the resultant yields on a fully taxable equivalent basis, and the dollar amounts of interest expense and average interest-bearing liabilities and the resultant rates paid.

Non-accrual loans, if any, are included in average loan balances.

(2)

Change in interest income from nontaxable loans and investment securities is computed based on interest income determined on a taxable equivalent yield basis. Interest income has been divided by a factor comprised of the complement of the incremental tax rate of 34%.

2007 vs. 2006. Tax equivalent interest income increased $1,398,000 due to a 23 basis point (a basis point equals 0.01%) increase in the average rate earned on interest-earning assets and to a $4.1 million increase in total average interest-earning assets. The increase in average rates earned was primarily due to general increases in market rates. The increase in average interest-earning assets occurred primarily in the loan portfolio, which grew $19.5 million on an average basis, and in federal funds sold and interest-bearing demand deposits, which grew $4.2 million on an average basis. Growth in these assets was partially offset by an $18.9 million decrease in average taxable and nontaxable investment securities. The movement in loans and investment securities reflects management’s decision to reinvest most maturing investment securities into higher rate loans.

Interest expense increased $1,605,000 primarily due to a 36 basis point increase in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities and secondarily to a $3.8 million increase in average interest-bearing liabilities. The increase in average rates paid is primarily due to general increases in market rates.

The net interest margin, on a tax equivalent basis, decreased from 3.84% for 2006 to 3.77% for 2007. Even though the average rate earned on interest-earning assets increased 23 basis points, this increase was offset by the 36 basis point increase in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities.

2006 vs. 2005. Tax equivalent interest income increased $2,875,000 due to a 44 basis point increase in the average rate earned on interest-earning assets and to a $10.8 million increase in total average interest-earning assets. The increase in average rates earned was primarily due to general increases in market rates. The increase in average interest-earning assets occurred primarily in the loan portfolio, which grew $28.4 million on an average basis. The loan growth was partially offset by a $14.3 million decrease in average taxable and nontaxable investment securities and a $3.5 million decrease in average federal funds sold and interest-bearing demand deposits.

Interest expense increased $3,201,000 primarily due to a 73 basis point increase in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities and secondarily to a $9.5 million increase in average interest-bearing liabilities. The increase in average rates paid was primarily due to general increases in market rates.

The net interest margin, on a tax equivalent basis, decreased from 3.99% for 2005 to 3.84% for 2006. Even though the average rate earned on interest-earning assets increased 44 basis points, this increase was offset by the 73 basis point increase in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Short-term market rates increased more than long-term market rates during 2006. Consequently, short-term rates at year-end 2006 were generally above long-term rates, placing further pressure on LCNB’s net interest margin.

Of the $81,000 charged-off in the commercial and industrial loan category during 2007, approximately $76,000 was due to two loans. The commercial and industrial loan charge-off of $126,000 during 2004 is due to one company that had filed bankruptcy. Consumer loan charge-offs included $41,000 during 2004 and $25,000 during 2003 that were due to a yacht that was subsequently repossessed and sold in 2004. The balance of increased consumer loan charge-offs during 2004 and 2003 are due to a greater number of troubled loans.

Charge-offs and recoveries classified as “Other” during 2005, 2006, and 2007 represent charge-offs and recoveries on checking and NOW account overdrafts. LCNB charges off such overdrafts when considered uncollectible, but no later than 60 days from the date first overdrawn. Prior to 2005, overdrafts considered uncollectible were netted against service charges and fees in non-interest income.

For additional discussion regarding changes in the components of the allowance for loan losses, see Item 1. Business, Statistical Information, Components of the Allowance for Loan Losses.

Non-Interest Income

2007 vs. 2006. Total non-interest income for 2007 was $1,000 greater than 2006. Small decreases in trust income and insurance agency income were offset by an increase in other operating income. Service charges and fees were the same in total, but the mix of fees changed. A continuing decrease in overdraft fees was offset by a continuing increase in checkcard income. Checkcard income grew because a greater number of cards were outstanding and because of the increasing popularity of checkcards as a retail payment method.

2006 vs. 2005. Total non-interest income for 2006 was $389,000 or 4.9% more than for 2005. The increase is primarily due to a $262,000 increase in trust income, a $231,000 increase in insurance agency income, and an $85,000 increase in service charges and fees. The increase in trust income was due to trust fee modifications and new business. Insurance agency income increased due to new business and the policies obtained from purchasing AOC’s book of business. Service charges and fees increased primarily due to an increase in checkcard income, for substantially the same reasons mentioned above. Offsetting these increases was a $111,000 decrease in other operating income, which is primarily attributable to a non-recurring $85,000 gain recognized on the sale of an unused branch building during 2005 and to a loss recognized during 2006 on the abandonment of an ATM electronic office.

Non-Interest Expense

2007 vs. 2006. Total non-interest expense increased $506,000 or 2.8% during 2007 compared with 2006. Contributing to the increase were a $180,000 or 2.3% increase in salaries and wages, a $122,000 or 6.1% increase in pension and other employee benefits, a $136,000 or 9.9% increase in occupancy expense, and a $100,000 or 30.9% increase in telephone expense.

Salaries and wages increased due to additional employees and routine salary and wage increases. Pension and other employee benefits increased primarily due to increased pension costs. The increase in occupancy expense is primarily due to increased maintenance and repair costs, rent expense for the land at the new Oakwood office (opened May, 2007), and real estate taxes for the Oakwood office. Telephone expense increased due to increased network costs and a system upgrade.

2006 vs. 2005. Total non-interest expense increased $595,000 or 3.5% during 2006 compared with 2005. Contributing to the increase were a $365,000 or 4.9% increase in salaries and wages, a $160,000 or 8.7% increase in pension and other employee benefits, a $91,000 or 7.1% increase in occupancy expense, and an $85,000 increase in ATM expense.

Salaries and wages increased due to additional employees and routine salary and wage increases. Pension and other employee benefits increased primarily due to increased pension expenses, increased health insurance costs, and increased FICA matching requirements. The increase in occupancy expense is largely due to rent expense for the land at the new Oakwood office, which began August, 2006. The increase in ATM expense is primarily due to certain one-time fee adjustments that were recognized during the first quarter, 2006.

Income Taxes

LCNB's effective tax rates for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005 were 24.9%, 24.9%, and 25.0%, respectively. The difference between the statutory rate of 34.0% and the effective tax rate is primarily due to tax-exempt interest income and tax-exempt earnings from bank owned life insurance.

Assets

Securities available for sale decreased $23.7 million during 2007. This decrease reflects management’s decision not to reinvest most maturing investment securities. Instead, the funds from the maturities were used to invest in higher-yielding loan products and to build liquidity. Federal funds sold and interest-bearing demand deposits increased $13.1 million during 2007.

Net loans grew $56.1 million during 2007. The Sycamore acquisition added $43.3 million of gross loans to LCNB’s loan portfolio and $453,000 to LCNB’s allowance for loan losses. Internal growth generated another $13.3 million of the loan increase. Most of the internal loan growth occurred in the commercial loans secured by real estate category, the residential real estate loan category, and the commercial and industrial loan category, which grew by an aggregate total of $16.5 million. Offsetting growth in these areas was a $4.5 million decrease in consumer loans.

At December 31, 2007 and including loans obtained from Sycamore, residential real estate loans comprised approximately 43.5% of LCNB’s total loan portfolio and commercial loans, both secured by real estate and not secured by real estate, comprised 44.7% of the portfolio. The remaining 11.8% of the portfolio is mostly various types of consumer loans, including auto, boat, and unsecured loans.

Net premises and equipment was $2.1 million higher at December 31, 2007 than at December 31, 2006. The acquisition of Sycamore added $957,000 to premises and equipment, primarily reflecting the Colerain Township office (formerly Sycamore’s main office). Construction of the Oakwood office during 2007 accounts for another $850,000 of the increase. The rest of the increase represents building renovations, information technology upgrades, and miscellaneous furniture and equipment purchases.

Goodwill of $5.7 million at December 31, 2007 represents the excess of the purchase price for Sycamore over the fair value of its identifiable net assets. Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested annually for impairment.

Deposits

Total deposits at December 31, 2007 were $57.3 million greater than at December 31, 2006. The Sycamore acquisition added $44.4 million in deposits and internal generation of new deposits accounted for the remaining $12.9 million of the increase. The internal growth was in certificate of deposit, NOW, and money fund deposit accounts, which grew a combined $27.3 million. These increases were partially offset by a $14.4 million decrease in regular savings accounts and demand deposit accounts.

Certificate of deposit accounts, including IRAs, comprise 43.9% of LCNB’s total deposits at December 31, 2007. NOW and money fund deposit accounts make up another 25.9% and the remainder is composed of demand deposit and regular savings deposit accounts.

Liquidity

Liquidity is the ability to have funds available at all times to meet the commitments of LCNB. These commitments may include paying dividends to shareholders, funding new loans for borrowers, funding withdrawals by depositors, paying general and administrative expenses, and funding capital expenditures. Sources of liquidity include growth in deposits, principal payments received on loans, proceeds from the sale of loans, the sale or maturation of investment securities, cash generated by operating activities, and the ability to borrow funds. Management closely monitors the level of liquid assets available to meet ongoing funding requirements. 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 during the past year as a result of current liquidity levels.

The liquidity of LCNB is enhanced by the fact that 79.4% of total deposits at December 31, 2007, were "core" deposits. Core deposits, for this purpose, are defined as total deposits less public funds and certificates of deposit greater than $100,000.

Liquid assets include cash, federal funds sold and securities available for sale. Except for investments in the stock of the Federal Reserve Bank and FHLB, all of LCNB's investment portfolio is classified as "available for sale" and can be readily sold to meet liquidity needs. At December 31, 2007, LCNB's liquid assets amounted to $118.6 million or 19.6% of total assets, down from $126.6 million or 23.1% of total assets at December 31, 2006. The primary reason for the decrease was the reduction in investment securities previously discussed – see “Assets” above.

An additional source of funding is borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB"). FHLB borrowings of $5.0 million were outstanding at December 31, 2007 and the total available borrowing capacity at that date was approximately $51 million.

Short-term borrowings may include federal funds purchased and advances from a line of credit with another financial institution. At December 31, 2007, LCNB could borrow up to $20 million through the line of credit with the financial institution and up to $15 million under a federal funds arrangement with another financial institution. Nothing was outstanding under either program at December 31, 2007.

Commitments to extend credit at December 31, 2007, totaled $89.9 million and standby letters of credit totaled $8.4 million and are more fully described in Note 11 to LCNB's Financial Statements. Since many commitments to extend credit may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

Capital expenditures may include the construction or acquisition of new office buildings, improvements to LCNB's twenty-four offices, purchases of furniture and equipment, and additions or improvements to LCNB’s information technology system. Material commitments for capital expenditures outstanding as of December 31, 2007 were minimal. LCNB plans to build a new bank office at 9605 Dayton-Lebanon Pike, Centerville, Ohio during 2008, but bid solicitations have not been requested as of the date of this document.

Capital Resources

LCNB and the Bank are required by banking regulators to meet certain minimum levels of capital adequacy. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a material effect on LCNB's and the Bank's financial statements. These minimum levels 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 the Bank'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 4.00% and the ratio of Total capital (Tier 1 capital plus Tier 2 capital) to risk-weighted assets must be at least 8.00%. 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 3.00%. A table summarizing the regulatory capital of LCNB and the Bank at December 31, 2007 and 2006, is included in Note 14, "Regulatory Matters", of the 2007 Annual Report to Shareholders.

The FDIC, the insurer of deposits in financial institutions, has adopted a risk-based insurance premium system based in part on an institution's capital adequacy. Under this system, a depository institution is required to pay successively higher premiums depending on its capital levels and its supervisory rating by its primary regulator. It is management's intention to maintain sufficient capital to permit the Bank to maintain a "well capitalized" designation (the FDIC's highest rating).

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

Under the "Market Repurchase Program" LCNB was originally authorized to purchase up to 200,000 shares of its stock, as restated for a 100% stock dividend issued in May, 2007, through market transactions with a selected stockbroker. On November 14, 2005, the Board of Directors extended the Market Repurchase Program by increasing the shares authorized for repurchase to 400,000 total shares, as restated for the stock dividend. Through December 31, 2007, 290,444 shares, as restated for the stock dividend, had been purchased under this program.

LCNB established an Ownership Incentive Plan during 2002 that allows for stock-based awards to eligible employees. The awards may be in the form of stock options, share awards, and/or appreciation rights. The plan provides for the issuance of up to 200,000 shares, as restated for the stock dividend. No awards were granted during 2005 or 2002. Stock options for 8,116, 7,934, 8,108 and 11,056 shares were granted to key executive officers of LCNB during the first quarters of 2007, 2006, 2004, and 2003, respectively.

The exercise price for stock options granted shall not be less than the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant. Options vest ratably over a five-year period and the maximum term for each grant will be specified by the Board of Directors, but cannot be greater than ten years from the date of grant. In the event of an optionee's death, incapacity, or retirement, all outstanding options held by that optionee shall immediately vest and be exercisable.

Critical Accounting Policies

Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged to expense. Loans are charged against the allowance for loan losses when management believes that the collectibility of the principal is unlikely. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. The allowance is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb inherent losses in the loan portfolio, based on evaluations of the collectibility of loans and prior loan loss experience. The evaluations take into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, review of specific problem loans, and current economic conditions that may affect the borrowers' ability to pay. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

The allowance consists of specific, general, and unallocated components. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as either doubtful, substandard, or special mention. For such loans an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows or collateral value is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers non-classified loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors. An unallocated component is maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect management’s estimate of probable losses. The unallocated component of the allowance reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating specific and general losses in the portfolio.

Based on its evaluations, management believes that the allowance for loan losses will be adequate to absorb estimated losses inherent in the current loan portfolio.

Accounting for Intangibles. LCNB’s intangible assets at December 31, 2007 are composed primarily of goodwill and a core deposit intangible related to the acquisition of Sycamore during the fourth quarter, 2007, an intangible related to a 1997 acquisition of three branch offices from another bank, an intangible related to Dakin’s 2006 purchase of AOC’s book of business, and mortgage servicing rights recorded from sales of mortgage loans to the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation. Goodwill is not subject to amortization, but is reviewed annually for impairment. The core deposit intangible will be amortized on a straight line basis over six years. Management does not believe the branch office acquisition met the definition of a business combination and is amortizing the intangible over ten years. The book of business purchase by Dakin consisted solely of a customer list intangible asset, which is being amortized over ten years. Mortgage servicing rights are capitalized by allocating the total cost of loans between mortgage servicing rights and the loans based on their estimated fair values. Capitalized mortgage servicing rights are amortized to loan servicing income in proportion to and over the period of estimated servicing income, subject to periodic review for impairment.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” was issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) in September, 2006. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement does not require any new fair value measurements, but increases consistency and comparability in the use of fair value measurements and calculations. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Management does not anticipate that the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have a material effect on LCNB’s consolidated balance sheet or income statement.

SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities,” was issued by the FASB in February, 2007. It permits, but does not require, corporations 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 will be recorded in earnings. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted. Management intends to adopt SFAS No. 159 in the year beginning January 1, 2008 and does not anticipate that adoption of this standard will have a material effect on LCNB’s consolidated balance sheet or income statement.

SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” ("SFAS No. 141R"), was issued in December, 2007 and replaces SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations.” It applies to all transactions or other events in which an entity obtains control over one or more businesses. SFAS No. 141R retains the fundamental requirement in SFAS No. 141 that the acquisition method of accounting, previously called the purchase method of accounting, be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. SFAS No. 141R requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at their fair values as of the acquisition date. This fair value approach replaces SFAS No. 141’s cost-allocation process, which required that the cost of an acquisition be allocated to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair value. Any noncontrolling interests in the acquiree are also required to be measured at fair value. SFAS No. 141R requires acquirers to expense direct acquisition-related costs as incurred. SFAS No. 141 required that such costs be added to the cost of the acquisition. This statement makes significant changes to other accounting practices for business combinations, including but not limited to accounting for step acquisitions, accounting for contingent liabilities arising from a business combination, accounting for research and development assets acquired in a business combination, and accounting for deferred taxes acquired in a business combination. SFAS No. 141R applies prospectively to business combinations with an acquisition date on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company will be required to apply SFAS No. 141R for any business combinations with an acquisition date on or after January 1, 2009.

SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of ARB No. 51,” was issued in December, 2007 and amends Accounting Research Bulletin (“ARB”) No. 51, “Consolidated Financial Statements.” SFAS No. 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest, also called minority interest, in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. Consolidated income is to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the noncontrolling interest and requires disclosure of the net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest on the face of the consolidated statement of income. This statement establishes a single method of accounting for changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in deconsolidation and requires that a parent recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. This statement is to be applied prospectively as of the beginning of the fiscal year beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company owns 100% of its subsidiaries and is not affected by SFAS No. 160.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

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

The Bank's Asset and Liability Management Committee ("ALCO") primarily uses a combination of Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis (IRSA) and Economic Value of Equity (EVE) analysis for measuring and managing interest rate risk. The IRSA model 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. The base projection uses a current interest rate scenario. As shown below, the January 31, 2008 IRSA indicates that either an increase in rates of 200 and 300 basis points or a decrease in interest rates at all rate shock levels would have a negative effect on net interest income. The changes in net interest income for all rate assumptions are within LCNB’s acceptable ranges. (The following two tables are as of January 31, 2008 instead of December 31, 2007 because Sycamore’s data processing system was not converted to LCNB’s system at December 31, 2007.)


Rate Shock Scenario in Basis Points		Amount (In thousands)	$ Change in Net Interest Income	% Change in Net Interest Income
Up 300	$	20,008	(62)	-0.31%
Up 200		20,046	(24)	-0.12%
Up 100		20,071	1	0.01%
Base		20,070	-	-%
Down 100		19,948	(122)	-0.61%
Down 200		19,751	(319)	-1.59%
Down 300		19,650	(420)	-2.09%

IRSA shows the affect on net interest income 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 January 31, 2008 is shown below. It shows a negative effect on the economic value of equity for all rate shock adjustments except for the down 300 basis points scenario.


Rate Shock Scenario in Basis Points		Amount (In thousands)	$ Change in EVE	% Change in EVE
Up 300	$	38,991	(32,293)	-45.30%
Up 200		44,393	(26,891)	-37.72%
Up 100		49,984	(21,300)	-29.88%
Base		71,284	-	-%
Down 100		59,050	(12,234)	-17.16%
Down 200		64,140	(7,144)	-10.02%
Down 300		72,895	1,611	2.26%

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 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

REPORT OF MANAGEMENT’S ASSESSMENT OF

INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

LCNB Corp. (“LCNB”) is responsible for the preparation, integrity, and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements included in this annual report. Management of LCNB and its subsidiaries is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15f. LCNB’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of LCNB’s Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer. The purpose is to provide reasonable assurance to the Board of Directors regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of LCNB’s financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Management maintains internal controls over financial reporting. The internal controls contain control processes and actions are taken to correct deficiencies as they are identified. The internal controls are evaluated on an ongoing basis by LCNB’s Management, and Audit Committee. Even effective internal controls, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations – including the possibility of circumvention or overriding of controls – and therefore can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation. Also, because of changes in conditions, internal control effectiveness may vary over time.

Management assessed LCNB’s internal controls as of December 31, 2007, in relation to criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting described in “Internal Control – Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, management believes that, as of December 31, 2007, LCNB’s internal control over financial reporting met the criteria.

J.D. Cloud & Co. L.L.P., an independent registered public accounting firm, has issued an attestation on the effectiveness of LCNB’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders

LCNB Corp. and subsidiaries

Lebanon, Ohio

We have audited LCNB Corp. and subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on criteria established in “Internal Control—Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). LCNB Corp. and subsidiaries’ management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying “Report of Management’s Assessment of Internal Control over Financial Reporting.” Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, LCNB Corp. and subsidiaries maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on criteria established in “Internal Control—Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007 of LCNB Corp. and subsidiaries, and our report dated February 27, 2008 expressed an unqualified opinion.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders

LCNB Corp. and subsidiaries

Lebanon, Ohio

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of LCNB Corp. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007. These financial statements are the responsibility of the management of LCNB Corp. and subsidiaries. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of LCNB Corp. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of LCNB Corp. and subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on criteria established in “Internal Control – Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated February 27, 2008 expressed an unqualified opinion.

LCNB CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2007

NOTE 1 -

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

LCNB Corp. (the "Company"), an Ohio corporation formed in December 1998, is a financial holding company whose principal activities are the ownership of LCNB National Bank (formerly Lebanon Citizens National Bank) (the "Bank") and Dakin Insurance Agency, Inc. ("Dakin"). The Bank was founded in 1877 and provides full banking services, including trust and brokerage services, to customers primarily in the Southwestern Ohio area of Warren, Butler, Clinton, Clermont, Hamilton, and Montgomery Counties. Dakin is an independent insurance agency founded in 1876 and offers a wide range of insurance products for businesses and individuals in the Bank's primary market area.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION-

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and with general practices in the banking industry.

USE OF ESTIMATES-

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.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash, balances due from banks, and federal funds sold and interest-bearing demand deposits with original maturities of three months or less. Deposits with other banks routinely have balances greater than FDIC insured limits. Management considers risk of loss to be very low.

NOTE 1 -

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

INVESTMENT SECURITIES-

All of the Company's debt securities are classified as available for sale and are reported at fair value with unrealized holding gains and losses reported net of income taxes as Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, a separate component of shareholders' equity. Amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts are recognized as adjustments to interest income using the level-yield method. Realized gains or losses from the sale of securities are computed using the specific identification method. Declines in the fair value of available-for-sale securities below their cost that are deemed to be other than temporary are reflected in earnings as realized losses. In estimating other than temporary impairment losses, management considers the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") stock is an equity interest in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati. It can be sold only at its par value of $100 per share and only to the FHLB or to another member institution. In addition, the equity ownership rights are more limited than would be the case for a public company because of the oversight role exercised by the Federal Housing Finance Board in the process of budgeting and approving dividends. Federal Reserve Bank stock is similarly restricted in marketability and value. Both investments are carried at cost, which is their par value.

FHLB and Federal Reserve Bank stock are both subject to minimum ownership requirements by member banks. The required investments in common stock are based on predetermined formulae.

LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES-

Loans are stated at the principal amount outstanding, net of unearned income, deferred origination fees and costs, and the allowance for loan losses. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. The delinquency status of a loan is based on contractual terms and not on how recently payments have been received. Generally, a loan is placed on non-accrual status when there is an indication that the borrower’s cash flow may not be sufficient to meet payments as they come due, unless the loan is well secured and in the process of collection. Subsequent cash receipts on non-accrual loans are recorded as a reduction of principal, and interest income is recorded once principal recovery is reasonably assured. The current year's accrued interest on loans placed on non-accrual status is charged against earnings. Previous years' accrued interest is charged against the allowance for loan losses.

Loan origination fees and certain direct loan origination costs are deferred and the net amount amortized as an adjustment of loan yields. These amounts are being amortized over the lives of the related loans.

NOTE 1 -

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged to expense. Loans are charged against the allowance for loan losses when management believes that the collectibility of the principal is unlikely. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

The allowance is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb possible losses on loans that may become uncollectible, based on evaluations of the collectibility of loans and prior loan loss experience. The evaluations take into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, review of specific problem loans, and current economic conditions that may affect the borrowers' ability to pay. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

The allowance consists of specific, general, and unallocated components. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as either doubtful, substandard, or special mention. For such loans, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows or collateral value or observable market price of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers non-classified loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors. An unallocated component is maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect management’s estimate of probable losses. The unallocated component of the allowance reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating specific and general losses in the portfolio.

Loans are considered impaired when management believes, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impaired loans are measured by the present value of expected future cash flows using the loan's effective interest rate. Impaired collateral-dependent loans may be measured based on collateral value. Smaller-balance homogenous loans, including residential mortgage and consumer installment loans, that are not evaluated individually are collectively evaluated for impairment.

PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT-

Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed on both the straight-line and accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally 15 to 40 years for premises and 3 to 10 years for equipment. Costs incurred for maintenance and repairs are expensed currently.

REAL ESTATE ACQUIRED THROUGH FORECLOSURE-

Real estate acquired through foreclosure is recorded at the lower of cost or fair value, less estimated selling costs. The allowance for loan losses is charged for any write down of the loan’s carrying value to fair value at the date of acquisition. Any subsequent reductions in fair value and expenses incurred from holding foreclosed real estate are charged to other non-interest expense. Costs, excluding interest, relating to the improvement of foreclosed real estate are capitalized.

NOTE 1 -

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Real estate acquired through foreclosure includes in-substance foreclosed properties, which are properties that the Company has taken physical control of, regardless of whether formal foreclosure proceedings have occurred.

GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS-

Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is not amortized, but is instead subject to an annual review for impairment.

Mortgage servicing rights on originated mortgage loans that have been sold are capitalized by allocating the total cost of the loans between mortgage servicing rights and the loans based on their estimated fair values. Capitalized mortgage servicing rights are amortized to loan servicing income in proportion to and over the period of estimated servicing income. Such assets are periodically evaluated as to the recoverability of their carrying value.

The Company’s other intangible assets relate to core deposits acquired from Sycamore, an intangible related to the purchase of three branches from another bank, and customer relationships. These intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Management evaluates whether events or circumstances have occurred that indicate the remaining useful life or carrying value of amortizing intangibles should be revised.

BANK OWNED LIFE INSURANCE-

The Company has purchased life insurance policies on certain officers of the Company. The Company is the beneficiary of these policies and has recorded the estimated cash surrender value in other assets in the consolidated balance sheet. Income on the policies, based on the increase in cash surrender value, is included in other non-interest income in the consolidated statements of income.

MARKETING EXPENSE-

Marketing costs are expensed as incurred.

NOTE 1 -

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

EMPLOYEE BENEFITS-

The Company has a noncontributory pension plan covering full-time employees. The retirement plan cost is made up of several components that reflect different aspects of the

Company's financial arrangements as well as the cost of benefits earned by employees. These components are determined using the projected unit credit actuarial cost method and are based on certain actuarial assumptions. Effective December 31, 2006, the Company adopted the accounting method for pension plans required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans – an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R).”

SFAS No. 158 requires an employer to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status, measured as the difference between the fair value of the plan assets and the benefit obligation, of a defined benefit postretirement plan as an asset or liability in its balance sheet. For a pension plan, the benefit obligation is the projected benefit obligation. Upon adoption, SFAS No. 158 requires an employer to recognize as components of accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, the unrecognized gains or losses, net prior service costs or credits, and the transition asset or obligation. Any subsequent changes in the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan are required to be recognized through comprehensive income, net of tax, to the extent such changes are not recognized in earnings as components of periodic net benefit cost

The Company’s Board of Directors adopted a 401(k) plan on March 13, 2006 to provide a retirement savings vehicle for eligible employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. Participants may choose to make before-tax and/or Roth after-tax contributions to their 401(k) plans. All contributions are immediately 100% vested. The Company pays certain administrative costs of the 401(k) Plan, but does not match employee contributions.

The Company acquired Sycamore National Bank’s defined contribution 401-K plan as a result of the merger. LCNB employees who previously were employed by Sycamore National Bank continue to be covered by the 401-K plan. The Company contributes $0.50 for each $1.00 an employee contributes into the 401-K plan, subject to a maximum Company contribution of 3.00% of the employee’s base salary. All Company matching contributions vest immediately.

NOTE 1 -

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

STOCK OPTIONS-

The Company has an Ownership Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). Effective January 1, 2005, the Company adopted the fair value method of accounting for stock options as described in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS No. 123R”). SFAS No. 123R generally requires an entity to recognize expense for the grant-date fair value of share-based compensation, where the original SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” encouraged but did not require an entity to recognize expense for such transactions. The estimated cost of share-based compensation is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period or five years. Compensation expense recognized in the consolidated statements of income for all stock options granted prior to January 1, 2005 is determined using the modified prospective approach as allowed by SFAS No. 123R.

INCOME TAXES-

Deferred income taxes are determined using the liability method of accounting. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the tax effects of temporary differences between the book and tax bases of the various balance sheet assets and liabilities and gives current recognition to changes in tax rates and laws.

The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. (“FIN”) 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes -- an interpretation of FASB Statement 109,” effective January 1, 2007. It requires management to perform an analysis of material tax positions taken in any income tax return for any tax jurisdiction and to determine the likelihood of the positions being sustained in a tax audit. FIN 48 also includes guidance for measuring the benefits to be recorded and requires that a liability be established for tax benefits not recognized in the income statement. Adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material affect on the Company’s financial statements.

EARNINGS PER SHARE-

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is adjusted for the dilutive effects of stock options. The diluted average number of common shares outstanding has been increased for the assumed exercise of stock options with proceeds used to purchase treasury shares at the average market price for the period.

RECLASSIFICATIONS-

Certain prior period data presented in the financial statements has been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.

Taxable		-	-	2,286	34
	$	7,073	18	36,609	419

The decline in fair values is primarily due to increases in market interest rates. Unrealized losses on securities at December 31, 2007 have not been recognized into 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.

Management determined that this purchase did not meet the definition of a business combination and continues to amortize the intangible over ten years. The customer list intangible relates to the purchase by Dakin of the existing book of business of another insurance agency in 2006. This purchase consisted solely of a customer list intangible asset, which is being amortized over ten years.

Other intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated lives, which range from 5 to 10 years.

EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

The Company's noncontributory defined benefit retirement plan covers substantially all regular full-time employees. The benefits are based on years of service and the employee's highest average compensation during five consecutive years. Pension costs are funded based on the Plan's actuarial cost method. All plan assets were invested in time and other deposits with the Bank at December 31, 2007. At December 31, 2006, $532,000 of plan assets were invested in U.S. Treasury notes and $7,907,000 were invested in time and other deposits with the Bank.

The Company uses a December 31 measurement date for its retirement plan.

The components of net periodic pension cost are summarized as follows (000's):


		2007	2006	2005

Service cost	$	806	682	645

At December 31, 2007, accumulated other comprehensive income included $1,818,000, net of tax, of unrecognized net actuarial loss. The Company expects to recognize approximately $116,000 of net actuarial loss as a component of net periodic benefit cost during 2008.

NOTE 9 -

EMPLOYEE BENEFITS (Continued)

Approximately $1,025,000, excluding tax, of unrecognized net actuarial loss was recognized in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income at December 31, 2006 as a result of adopting SFAS No. 158. The Plan did not have a transition obligation or prior service costs at that date.

Significant actuarial assumptions used for 2007 and 2006 included a discount rate of 5.50%, an expected long-term rate of return on Plan assets of 5.50%, and a future compensation rate increase of 4.00%. The expected long-term rate of return on Plan assets was estimated using historic returns on investments, adjusted for expected long-term interest rates.

The accumulated benefit obligation at December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005 was $9,059,000, $7,102,000, and $6,187,000, respectively.

The Company expects to contribute approximately $1,100,000 to its retirement plan in 2008.

The following estimated future benefit payments, which reflect expected future service, as appropriate, are expected to be paid (000's):


2008	$	43

2010		120
2011		152
2012		257

Total	$	3,808

The Bank has a benefit plan which permits eligible officers to defer a portion of their compensation. The deferred compensation balance, which accrues interest at 8% annually, is distributable in cash after retirement or termination of employment. The amount of such deferred compensation liability at December 31, 2007 and 2006 was $1,302,000 and $1,117,000, respectively.

The Bank also has a supplemental income plan which provides a covered employee an amount based on a percentage of average compensation, payable annually for ten years upon retirement. The projected benefit obligation included in other liabilities for this supplemental income plan at December 31, 2007 and 2006 is $295,000 and $259,000, respectively. The discount rate used to determine the present value of the obligation was 5.50% in 2007 and 2006. The service cost associated with this plan was $21,000 for 2007, $21,000 for 2006, and $24,000 for 2005. Interest costs were approximately $15,000, $13,000, and $11,000 for 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively. Both of these plans are nonqualified and unfunded. Participation in each plan is limited to a select group of management.

NOTE 10 -

STOCK OPTIONS AND AWARDS

The Company established an Ownership Incentive Plan (the "Plan") during 2002 that allows for stock-based awards to eligible employees, as determined by the Board of Directors. 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 shares. As of December 31, 2007, 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. No awards were granted during 2005 or 2002. Stock options outstanding at December 31, 2007 were as follows:


		Outstanding			Exercisable
	Exercise Price	Number	Weighted Average Exercise Price		Number	Weighted Average Exercise Price		Number Exercised	Expiration Date
$	13.09	11,056	$	13.09	8,845	$	13.09	-	Feb, 2013

Exercisable, end of year	15,297	$15.15	9,877	$14.59	6,044	$14.32

At December 31, 2007, 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 that date was not applicable because none of the options were “in the money” (market price greater than exercise price). The intrinsic value changes based on changes in the market value of the Company’s stock.

The estimated weighted-average fair value of the options granted in 2007 and 2006 were $3.76 and $4.51 per option, respectively. The fair value was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and the following assumptions:


	2007	2006
Risk-free interest rate	4.83%	4.64%
Average dividend yield	3.68%	3.04%
Volatility factor of the expected market
price of the Company's common stock	22.41%	22.70%
Average life	8.3 years	8.5 years

STOCK OPTIONS AND AWARDS (continued)

Total expense related to options included in salaries and wages in the consolidated statements of income for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005 was $24,000, $15,000, and $9,000, respectively. Total compensation cost related to option awards to be recognized ratably through the first quarter of 2012 is approximately $50,000.

NOTE 11 - BORROWINGS

At December 31, 2007, long-term debt consisted of a $5.0 million Federal Home Loan Bank note. The Federal Home Loan Bank note had a ten-year maturity and an interest rate of 5.25%. Interest on the note was fixed and payable monthly. The note was secured by $6.3 million of 1-4 family residential mortgage loans. Additionally, the Company was required to hold minimum levels of FHLB stock, based on the outstanding borrowings. Total remaining borrowing capacity at December 31, 2007 was approximately $51 million. No FHLB borrowings were outstanding at December 31, 2006.

A note payable to a former shareholder of Dakin matured in 2007. Payments were due monthly at a contractual interest rate of 6%. The note was categorized as a short-term borrowing at December 31, 2006 because its remaining maturity was less than one year. Its balance at that time was approximately $6,000.

At December 31, 2007, short-term borrowings of $1,459,000 consisted of U.S. Treasury demand note borrowings bearing a variable interest rate of 3.59%. At December 31, 2006, short-term borrowings included federal funds purchased of $14,100,000 and U.S. Treasury demand note borrowings of approximately $1,264,000. The interest rate on federal funds purchased is variable and was 5.25% at December 31, 2006. The interest rate on the U.S. Treasury demand note borrowings is variable and was 5.04% at December 31, 2006.

At December 31, 2007, the Company had short-term borrowing arrangements with two different financial institutions. The Company could borrow up to $15 million in federal funds through an arrangement with the first institution and up to $20 million through a short-term line of credit with the other institution. Nothing was outstanding under either program at that date. The interest rate on the line of credit with another financial institution is that institution’s federal funds rate plus a spread of 50 basis points. The interest rate for federal funds purchased is the rate in effect at the time of the advance.

During February, 2008, the Company was approved for a Cash Management Advance program with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati. Under this program, the Company can borrow up to $30.1 million in short-term advances. The Company has the option of selecting a variable rate of interest for up to 90 days or a fixed rate of interest for up to 30 days. The interest rate on the Cash Management Advance program is the published rate in effect at the time of the advance.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

The Company 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. The Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit is represented by the contract amount of those instruments.

The Company 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 December 31 were as follows (000's):


		2007	2006
Commitments to extend credit:
Fixed rate	$	602	679
Adjustable rate		40	1,425
Unused lines of credit:
Fixed rate		5,078	5,201
Adjustable rate		74,298	65,845
Unused overdraft protection amounts on
demand and NOW accounts		9,853	10,082
Standby letters of credit		8,404	5,728
	$	98,275	88,960

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 or agreement. 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 December 31, 2007 and 2006, outstanding guarantees of approximately $2.1 million and $1.7 million, respectively, 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 December 31, 2007 and 2006 was approximately $6.3 million and $4.1 million, respectively. The letter of credit balance is greater at December 31, 2007 because it was re-written in April, 2007. At that time, LCNB’s participation amount was increased to the higher amount. The new agreement has a final maturity date of January, 2012.

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

NOTE 13 -

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES (continued)

A $25 million letter of credit was issued by the FHLB of Cincinnati during July, 2006 in favor of a local government entity as security for certain public funds on deposit with the Bank. The letter of credit is secured by a blanket pledge of 1-4 family residential mortgage loans. It matured in July, 2007, and the expiration date was extended at that time to August, 2008. The Company currently pays a monthly fee for the letter of credit equal to 10 to 15 basis points of the average daily balance of public fund deposits secured by the letter credit.

Capital expenditure commitments for building renovation projects and information and technology system improvements were minimal as of December 31, 2007.

The Company 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 14 -

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company has entered into related party transactions with various directors and executive officers. Management believes these transactions do not involve more than a normal risk of collectibility or present other unfavorable features. At December 31, 2007 and 2006, executive officers, directors and related interests of such persons were indebted to the Bank directly or as guarantors in the aggregate amount of $1,635,000 and $1,953,000, respectively. Such activity for these officers and directors was as follows (000's):


		2007	2006

Beginning balances	$	1,953	2,822
Additions		708	1,123
Reductions		(1,026)	(1,992)
Ending Balance	$	1,635	1,953

Deposits from executive officers, directors and related interests of such persons held by the Company at December 31, 2007 and 2006 amounted to $7,861,000 and $4,499,000, respectively.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Carrying amounts and estimated fair values of financial instruments as of December 31, were as follows (000’s):


		2007				2006
	Carrying		Fair		Carrying		Fair
		Amount		Value	Amount		Value

FINANCIAL ASSETS:
Cash and cash equivalents	$	31,190		31,190		15,505	15,505

FINANCIAL LIABILITIES:

Short-term borrowings		1,459		1,459		15,370	15,370
Long-term debt		5,000		5,672		-	-

The fair value of off-balance-sheet financial instruments at December 31, 2007 and 2006 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. 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.

NOTE 15 -

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)

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 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 16 -

REGULATORY MATTERS

The Federal Reserve Act requires depository institutions to maintain cash reserves with the Federal Reserve Bank. In 2007 and 2006, the Bank was required to maintain average reserve balances of $1,496,000 and $2,056,000, respectively. The required reserve balances at December 31, 2007 and 2006 were $1,422,000 and $1,937,000, respectively.

The principal source of income and funds for LCNB Corp. is dividends paid by the Bank. The payment of dividends is subject to restriction by regulatory authorities. For 2008, the restrictions generally limit dividends to the aggregate of net income for the year 2008 plus the net earnings retained for 2007 and 2006. In addition, dividend payments may not reduce capital levels below minimum regulatory guidelines. At December 31, 2007, approximately $885,000 of the Bank’s earnings retained were available for dividends under this guideline. Dividends in excess of these limitations would require the prior approval of the Comptroller of the Currency.

The Company (consolidated) and the Bank must meet certain minimum capital requirements set by federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a material effect on the Company's and Bank's financial statements. The minimum regulatory capital ratios are 8% for total risk-based, 4% for Tier 1 risk-based, and 4% for leverage. The Company’s and Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

For various regulatory purposes, 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 Company and Bank 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 category. A summary of the regulatory capital of the Consolidated Company and Bank at December 31 follows ($000's):

ACQUISITIONS

At the close of business on December 20, 2007, the Bank acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock of Sycamore National Bank, a commercial bank with two offices located in Cincinnati, Ohio, in a stock and cash transaction totaling approximately $9.6 million. At that time, Sycamore was merged with and into the Bank and Sycamore’s two offices became offices of the Bank. Sycamore’s results of operations are included in the consolidated financial results of LCNB from the acquisition date. The acquisition continues LCNB’s strategy to increase its presence in the Southwestern Ohio area.

Under the terms of the affiliation agreement, each share of Sycamore common stock was exchanged for, at the election of each shareholder, $33.75 in cash, 2.444 shares of LCNB common stock, or a combination of cash and shares. A Sycamore shareholder’s election to receive cash or stock was subject to allocation procedures that ensured that, in the aggregate, 50% of the shares of Sycamore common stock were exchanged for cash and 50% were exchanged for stock. The aggregate purchase price of $9,390,000 included $4,722,000 of cash and 341,746 shares of common stock valued at $4,668,000. The value of the common stock issued was determined by averaging the closing market price of LCNB’s common stock on the date that the terms of the acquisition were agreed to and announced, which date was August 14, 2007 and on which date trades occurred, and the two days before and after the announcement date on which trades occurred. The Bank incurred an additional $253,000 in transaction costs related to this acquisition.

NOTE 17 -

ACQUISITIONS (continued)

The transaction with Sycamore, which was accounted for under the purchase accounting method, included the recognition of approximately $343,000 in core deposit intangibles and $5,742,000 in goodwill, which is the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets. The fair value of Sycamore’s assets and liabilities at the time of the acquisition were as follows ($000's):


			Fair Value
Assets:
	Cash and due from banks	$	1,237
	Federal funds sold and interest-bearing demand deposits		2,644
	Securities available for sale		504
	Federal Reserve Bank and Federal Home Loan Bank stock		325
	Loans, net		42,837
	Premises and equipment, net		957
	Core deposit intangibles		343
	Goodwill		5,742
	Other assets		442
	Total assets		55,031
Liabilities:
	Deposits		44,438
	Other liabilities		950
	Total liabilities		45,388
Net assets acquired		$	9,643

Valuations may be revised as additional information becomes available and integration plans are finalized. Any resulting purchase accounting adjustments determined within 12 months of the acquisition date will result in adjustments to goodwill.

Based on an evaluation of its estimated useful life, the core deposit intangible will be amortized over six years using the straight-line method. In conjunction with the merger, the Bank established liabilities for certain merger related costs related to severance and personnel related charges, professional fees, contract termination costs, systems conversion, and related charges. The total liability established at the time of acquisition was approximately $435,000, the amount utilized during 2007 was $27,000, and the remaining liability at December 31, 2007 was $408,000.

The following information presents the unaudited pro forma results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 as though the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2006. The pro forma data was derived by combining the historical consolidated financial information of LCNB and Sycamore using the purchase method of accounting for business combinations. The pro forma results do not necessarily indicate results that would have been obtained had the acquisition actually occurred on January 1, 2006 or results that may be achieved in the future ($000, except per share data).

EXHIBIT 13

LCNB Corp. 2007 Annual Report

President's Letter to Shareholders (page 1 of Annual Report):

Dear Shareholders:

The year 2007 was a year of great contrast for your Bank. The Charles Dickens’ quote, “it was the best of times, it was the worst of times” certainly applies when you look back at 2007.

The Nation’s weakening economy, the resulting flat (at times inverted) yield curve, the volatile securities markets and asset quality issues, all combined to erode confidence in the financial sector. The result was an overall loss of confidence in financial stocks. The price of your LCNB Corp. stock did not escape that trend.

In contrast, your Bank experienced record growth in loans, deposits, assets, number of offices, and number of customers. Our asset quality remained strong with charge-off loan totals well below budget and an ending delinquency rate for 2007 of .50%. We paid record dividends, having increased our dividend payout for the twenty-second consecutive year. Even with less earnings in 2007 than in 2006, we earned 1.08% on average assets and 11.41% on average shareholders’ equity, making us one of the top earning Banks in the State of Ohio for 2007.

The theme of this year’s annual report is “Your Bank for Life”. This theme speaks to longevity, to relationships throughout life and throughout generations. This theme recognizes our philosophy that we are in a marathon, not a sprint, when it comes to our financial performance. This theme points to our desire to be a stable element in busy and ever changing lives. We take pride in the fact that our customers look to us with confidence in every stage of their lives to help with their changing financial goals.

Net income for 2007 was $5.954 million, representing the earlier mentioned 1.08% return on average assets and a 11.41% return on average shareholders’ equity. Earnings per share were $.94 in 2007 compared to $1.00 per share in 2006. Total shareholders’ equity on December 31, 2007 was $56.5 million. Our capital remains strong and it is our position to maintain the FDIC “well capitalized” designation.

The total dividend paid in 2007 was $.62 per share compared to $.60 per share in 2006 for a 3.33% increase. Under current tax laws we feel that maintaining a strong dividend payout is in the best interest of our shareholders.

In today’s competitive environment, growing a financial institution is difficult. Yet in 2007, we were able to grow through internal growth, branch expansion and acquisition. The acquisition of Sycamore National Bank was the single largest contributor to our record growth. We experienced loan growth of 14.4%, deposit growth of 12.0%, and overall asset growth of 10.2%. Shareholders’ equity ended the year at $56.5 million for a 10.8% growth. Book value grew 5.8% even after paying out over 66% of our income in dividends.

Additional statistical data and information on our financial performance for 2007 are available in the LCNB Corp. Annual Report on Form 10-K. This report is filed annually with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We have enclosed the Form 10-K with the initial mailing of this report to shareholders and it is available upon request or from the shareholders’ information section of our website, www.LCNB.com.

These positive results in difficult times are a tribute to the hard work and dedication of the 269 people who make up LCNB Corp. They work hard every day to provide bank, trust, insurance, and investment products to our customers in a very personal and professional way. We added, on page 6, the longevity of our officers to point out the experience, consistency of service, and the expertise we offer our customers each business day of the year.

As we look to the future, we feel this experience and expertise will continue to provide the consistency of service necessary to grow and prosper. To that end, your Board of Directors announced a series of important promotions that insures the future of LCNB Corp. I will remain Chairman and CEO of LCNB Corp. and LCNB National Bank. Steve Foster has been named President of both the Corporation and the Bank and he will lead an impressive team in carrying out day-to-day operations.

Steve Foster is a third generation banker with over 34 years of banking experience. He is the 10th President in the 130-year history of LCNB. Ben Jackson and Barney Wright moved to Senior Executive Vice President, with Eric Meilstrup, Matt Layer, Rob Haines, Roy McKay, John Calhoun, and David Beckett rounding out our executive team. Tim Sheridan, Ann Smith, and Ken Layer have been promoted to Senior Vice Presidents. You will see on the officer’s page, the impressive list of our vice presidents and all of our officers.

Your Board of Directors, officers and employees enter 2008 with high expectations for continued growth and prosperity. The challenges are many, but so are the opportunities. We have the market area, products, delivery channels, technology, and most important of all, the people to move forward successfully into the future.
