LCNB CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1 - Basis of Presentation
Substantially all of the assets, liabilities and operations of LCNB Corp. ("LCNB") are attributable to its wholly-owned subsidiaries, LCNB National Bank (formerly Lebanon Citizens National Bank) (the "Bank"), and Dakin Insurance Agency, Inc. ("Dakin"). The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of LCNB, the Bank, and Dakin.
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, which have been reviewed by J.D. Cloud & Co. L.L.P., LCNBs independent registered public accounting firm, in accordance with standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, as indicated by their report included herein and which does not express an opinion on those statements, have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods, as required by Regulation S-X, Rule 10-01.
Certain prior period data presented in the financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.
Share and per share data have been restated to reflect a 100% stock dividend, accounted for as a stock split, declared by the Board of Directors on April 10, 2007 and paid on May 10, 2007 to shareholders of record on April 25, 2007.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2007. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, accounting policies, and financial notes thereto included in LCNB's 2006 Form 10-K filed with the SEC.
Note 2 Acquisition
On August 13, 2007, LCNB signed a definitive agreement to acquire Sycamore National Bank (Sycamore) in a stock and cash transaction valued at approximately $9.7 million. Sycamore operates two fullservice branches in Cincinnati, Ohio. As of September 30, 2007, Sycamore had total assets of $49.1 million, deposits of $44.2 million, loans of $44.0 million and shareholders equity of $4.6 million.

(Continued)
Note 2 Acquisition (continued)
Under the terms of the agreement, Sycamore will be merged with and into the Bank and Sycamores two offices will become branches of the Bank. Each share of Sycamore common stock will be 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 shareholders election to receive cash or stock is subject to allocation procedures that will ensure that, in the aggregate, 50% of the shares of Sycamore common stock will be exchanged for cash and 50% will be exchanged for stock. Subject to regulatory approvals and Sycamore shareholder approval, the transaction is anticipated to be completed during the fourth quarter, 2007.
Note 3 - Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is adjusted for the dilutive effects of stock options. The diluted average number of common shares outstanding has been increased for the assumed exercise of stock options with proceeds used to purchase treasury shares at the average market price for the period. The computations were as follows for the three and nine months ended September 30 (dollars in thousands, except share and per share data):

Note 4 - Investment Securities (continued)
The decline in fair values is primarily due to increases in market interest rates. Unrealized losses on securities at September 30, 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.

Note 5 - Loans (continued)
Loans past-due 90 days or more and still accruing interest at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 consisted of consumer loans and residential mortgage loans.
Restructured loans at September 30, 2007 consisted of a commercial loan secured by commercial real estate. It was previously classified as restructured and was removed from that classification during the fourth quarter, 2006 because it was current and had a market interest rate. It was returned to the restructured classification during the second quarter, 2007 because of the Banks agreement to waive the required principal payments for a period of one year, pending the sale of the underlying collateral property.
Real estate acquired through foreclosure was $757,000 and $752,000 at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively, and is included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. Real estate acquired at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 consisted of one single-family residential home.
Mortgage loans sold to and serviced for the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC") are not included in the accompanying balance sheets. The unpaid principal balances of those loans at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 were $40,809,000 and $42,431,000, respectively. Loans sold to the FHLMC during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 totaled $511,000 and $2,517,000, respectively, and $346,000 and $2,471,000 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively.
Note 6 Borrowings
During March, 2007, LCNB obtained a $5 million advance from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati. The term of the advance is ten years and interest is payable monthly at a fixed rate of 5.25%. The loan is secured by a blanket pledge of LCNBs 1-4 family first lien mortgage loans.
At September 30, 2007, short-term borrowings included U.S. Treasury demand note borrowings of approximately $2,805,000. The interest rate on the U.S. Treasury demand note borrowings is variable and was 4.52% at September 30, 2007.
At December 31, 2006, short-term borrowings included federal funds borrowed of $14,100,000 and U.S. Treasury demand note borrowings of approximately $1,264,000. The interest rate on federal funds borrowed was 5.25% and the interest rate on the U.S. Treasury demand note borrowings was 5.04% at December 31, 2006.

Note 7 Regulatory Capital
The Bank and LCNB are required by regulators to meet certain minimum levels of capital adequacy. These are expressed in the form of certain ratios. Capital is separated into Tier 1 capital (essentially shareholders' equity less goodwill and other intangibles) and Tier 2 capital (essentially the allowance for loan losses limited to 1.25% of risk-weighted assets). The first two ratios, which are based on the degree of credit risk in LCNB's assets, provide for weighting assets based on assigned risk factors and include off-balance sheet items such as loan commitments and stand-by letters of credit. The ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets must be at least 4.0% and the ratio of Total capital (Tier 1 capital plus Tier 2 capital) to risk-weighted assets must be at least 8.0%. The capital leverage ratio supplements the risk-based capital guidelines. Banks are required to maintain a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to adjusted quarterly average total assets of 3.0%.
For various regulatory purposes, financial institutions are classified into categories based upon capital adequacy. The highest "well-capitalized" category requires capital ratios of at least 10% for total risk-based, 6% for Tier 1 risk-based, and 5% for leverage. As of the most recent notification from their regulators, the Bank and LCNB were categorized as "well-capitalized" under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. Management believes that no conditions or events have occurred since the last notification that would change the Bank's or LCNB's category. A summary of the regulatory capital and capital ratios of LCNB follows:

Note 8 - Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
LCNB is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments included commitments to extend credit and stand-by letters of credit. They involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheets. Exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other parties to financial instruments for commitments to extend credit and stand-by letters of credit is represented by the contract amount of those instruments.
LCNB uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments. Financial instruments whose contract amounts represent off-balance-sheet credit risk at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 were as follows (in thousands):
September 30, | December 31, | ||||||||
2007 | 2006 | ||||||||

Standby letters of credit | 8,615 | 5,728 | |||||||
$ | 92,893 | 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. 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 September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, outstanding guarantees of $2,276,000 and $1,674,000, 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 September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 were approximately $6.3 million and $4.1 million, respectively. The letter of credit balance is greater at September 30, 2007 because it was re-written in April, 2007. At that time, LCNBs participation amount was increased to the higher amount. The new agreement has a final maturity date of January, 2012.

Note 8 Commitments and Contingent Liabilities (continued)
LCNB evaluates each customer's credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary, is based on management's credit evaluation of the borrower. Collateral held varies, but may include accounts receivable; inventory; property, plant and equipment; residential realty; and income-producing commercial properties.
At September 30, 2007, LCNB is committed under various contracts to expend approximately $720,000 to complete certain building and office acquisition and/or renovation projects and computer upgrades. Management believes that LCNB has sufficient liquidity to fund its lending and capital expenditure commitments.
LCNB and its subsidiaries are parties to various claims and proceedings arising in the normal course of business. Management, after consultation with legal counsel, believes that the liabilities, if any, arising from such proceedings and claims will not be material to the consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Note 9 - Stock Options
Under the Ownership Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), LCNB may grant stock-based awards to eligible employees. The awards may be in the form of stock options, share awards, and/or appreciation rights. The Plan provides for the issuance of up to 200,000 shares. As of September 30, 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.

The aggregate intrinsic value at that date for only the options that were exercisable was approximately $8,000. The intrinsic value changes based on changes in the market value of the Companys stock.
The estimated weighted-average fair value of the options granted in the first quarter of 2007 and 2006 were $3.76 and $4.51 per option, respectively. The fair value was estimated at the dates of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and the following assumptions:

Note 11 Recent Accounting Pronouncements
SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, was issued by 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 LCNBs 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 entitys 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 LCNBs consolidated balance sheet or income statement.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
LCNB Corp. and subsidiaries
Lebanon, Ohio
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of LCNB Corp. and subsidiaries as of September 30, 2007, and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of shareholders equity and cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.
We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying consolidated interim financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of LCNB Corp. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006 (presented herein), and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein), and in our report dated February 21, 2007, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2006, is fairly stated in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Forward Looking Statements
Certain matters disclosed herein may be deemed to be forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Forward looking statements are statements that include projections, predictions, expectations or beliefs about future events or results or otherwise are not statements of historical fact. Such statements are often characterized by the use of qualifying words and their derivatives such as expects, anticipates, believes, estimates, plans, projects, or other statements concerning opinions or judgments of 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.
Acquisition
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.
Results of Operations
LCNB earned $1,370,000 or $0.22 per diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2007, compared to $1,506,000 or $0.23 per diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2006. The return on average assets (ROAA) for the third quarter, 2007 was 0.99% and the return on average equity (ROAE) was 10.47%, compared with an ROAA of 1.08% and an ROAE of 11.47% for the third quarter of 2006. The decrease in net income for the third quarter, 2007 is primarily attributable to a decrease in net interest income and an increase in non-interest expense.
LCNB earned $4,365,000 or $0.69 per diluted share during the first nine months of 2007 compared to $4,724,000 or $0.73 per diluted share for the first nine months of 2006. The ROAA and ROAE for the first nine months of 2007 were 1.07% and 11.28%, respectively. The comparable ratios for the first nine months of 2006 were 1.16% and 12.09%, respectively. The decrease in net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 is primarily attributable to a decrease in net interest income, an increase in the provision for loan losses, and an increase in non-interest expense.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations (continued)
Net interest income on a fully tax-equivalent basis for the three months ended September 30, 2007 totaled $4,621,000, a decrease of $138,000 from the comparable period in 2006. Total interest expense increased $229,000, which was partially offset by an increase in total interest income of $91,000.
The increase in total interest expense was primarily due to a 27 basis point increase in the average rate paid, which was primarily due to general increases in market interest rates, slightly offset by the decrease in average interest-bearing liabilities referred to above.
The increase in total interest income was due to a 13 basis point (one basis point equals 0.01%) increase in the average rate earned on earning assets and to a $14.0 million increase in average loans, partially offset by a $20.4 million decrease in average investment securities. The increase in the average rate earned on earning assets was primarily due to general increases in market interest rates. The decrease in average investment securities was used primarily to fund the growth in average loans.
The net interest margin decreased 7 basis points in the third quarter, 2007 compared to the third quarter, 2006. The lower margin reflects highly competitive market pricing conditions for both loans and deposits. As a result, average deposit rates increased faster than average loan rates.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007 vs. 2006.
The following table presents, for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, average balances for interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, the income or expense related to each item, and the resultant average yields earned or rates paid.

Net interest income on a fully tax-equivalent basis for the first nine months of 2007 totaled $14,207,000, a $238,000 decrease from the same period in 2006. Total interest expense increased $1,285,000 and was partially offset by an increase in total interest income of $1,047,000.
The increase in total interest expense was due primarily to a 41 basis point increase in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities. The net interest margin decreased 7 basis points during the first nine months of 2007 compared to the first nine months of 2006 primarily due to competitive market pricing conditions for both loans and deposits and to a flat or inverted yield curve during much of the 2007 period. As a result, average deposit rates increased faster than average loan rates.
-23-
LCNB Corp. and Subsidiaries
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations (continued)
The increase in total interest income was due to a 27 basis point increase in the average rate earned on earning assets, from 6.23% for the first nine months of 2006 to 6.50% for the comparable period in 2007, and to a $21.2 million increase in average loans, partially offset by a $19.7 million decrease in average investment securities. The decrease in average investment securities was used to fund the growth in average loans.
Provision and Allowance For Loan Losses
The total provision for loan losses is determined based upon management's evaluation as to the amount needed to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level considered appropriate in relation to the risk of losses inherent in the portfolio. In addition to historic charge-off percentages, factors taken into consideration to determine the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses include the nature, volume, and consistency of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, a review of specific problem loans, and current economic conditions that may affect borrowers ability to pay. The provision for loan losses for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 was $75,000 and $66,000, respectively, and $158,000 and $100,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Non -Interest Income
Three Months Ended September 30, 2007 vs. 2006.
Non-interest income of $2,117,000 for the third quarter of 2007 was $44,000 greater than for the same period in 2006 primarily due to the absence of a loss on abandonment of an ATM recognized during the 2006 period, which was netted against other operating income.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007 vs. 2006.
Non-interest income of $6,220,000 for the first nine months of 2007 was $48,000 greater than for the same period in 2006 for primarily the same reason mentioned above. In addition trust income increased $28,000 primarily due to executor fees received during the 2007 period. Service charges and fees decreased $44,000 due to a decrease in non-sufficient fund charges, partially offset by an increase in check card income.
Non-Interest Expense
Three Months Ended September 30, 2007 vs. 2006.
Total non-interest expense increased $118,000 during the third quarter, 2007 compared to the third quarter, 2006, primarily due to an $18,000 increase in salaries and wages, a $35,000 increase in pension and other employee benefits, and a $59,000 increase in occupancy expense. Pension and other employee benefits increased primarily due to an increase in pension costs and occupancy expense increased primarily due to maintenance and repair costs and increased utilities expense.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007 vs. 2006.
Total non-interest expense increased $345,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006 primarily due to a $163,000 increase in salaries and wages, a $59,000 increase in pension and other employee benefits, and a $129,000 increase in occupancy expense. Salaries and wages increased primarily due to additional employees and routine salary and wage increases. Pension and other employee benefits increased primarily due to an increase in pension expense. Occupancy expense increased primarily due to increased maintenance and repair costs, rent expense for the land for the new Oakwood office (opened May, 2007), and real estate taxes for the Oakwood office.
Income Taxes
LCNBs effective tax rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 were 24.2% and 25.2%, respectively. The difference between the statutory rate of 34.0% and the effective tax rate is primarily due to tax-exempt interest income from municipal securities and tax-exempt earnings from bank owned life insurance.
Financial Condition
The fair value of securities available for sale was $91.1 million at September 30, 2007, approximately $20.0 million less than at December 31, 2006. The decrease was due to maturities and calls; no securities were sold during the first nine months of 2007. These additional funds, along with a $5.0 million FHLB advance obtained in March, 2007, and a $19.8 million increase in total deposits were primarily used to pay down short-term borrowings, fund loan growth, and build liquidity through investments in federal funds sold and interest-bearing demand deposits.
The term of the $5.0 million FHLB advance is ten years and interest is payable monthly at a fixed rate of 5.25%.
The $19.8 million increase in total deposits is due to public fund deposits from local governmental entities, which increased $20.5 million.
Short-term borrowings at September 30, 2007 were $2.8 million, a $12.6 million decrease from the December 31, 2006 balance of $15.4 million.
Net loans outstanding at September 30, 2007 totaled $394.1 million, approximately $5.8 million greater than at December 31, 2006. Commercial and industrial loans, commercial real estate loans, and residential real estate loans comprised most of the increase.

Liquidity
LCNB depends on dividends from its subsidiaries for the majority of its liquid assets, including the cash needed to pay dividends to its shareholders. National banking law limits the amount of dividends the Bank may pay to the sum of retained net income, as defined, for the current year plus retained net income for the previous two years. Prior approval from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Banks primary regulator, would be necessary for the Bank to pay dividends in excess of this amount. In addition, dividend payments may not reduce capital levels below minimum regulatory guidelines. Management believes the Bank will be able to pay anticipated dividends to LCNB without needing to request approval.
Liquidity is the ability to have funds available at all times to meet the commitments of LCNB. Asset liquidity is provided by cash and assets which are readily marketable or pledgeable or which will mature in the near future. Liquid assets include cash and cash equivalents and securities available for sale. At September 30, 2007, LCNBs liquid assets amounted to $134.3 million or 23.9% of total gross assets, a slight increase from $126.6 million or 23.1% at December 31, 2006.
Liquidity is also provided by access to core funding sources, primarily core depositors in the banks market area. Approximately 76.2% of total deposits at September 30, 2007 were core deposits, a decrease from 80.4% at December 31, 2006. Core deposits, for this purpose, are defined as total deposits less public funds and certificates of deposit greater than $100,000. Core deposits decreased because all of the growth in total deposits during 2007 has been due to public fund deposits.
Secondary sources of liquidity include LCNBs ability to sell loan participations, borrow funds from the Federal Home Loan Bank, purchase federal funds, or use a line of credit established with another bank.
Management closely monitors the level of liquid assets available to meet ongoing funding needs. It is managements intent to maintain adequate liquidity so that sufficient funds are readily available at a reasonable cost. LCNB experienced no liquidity or operational problems as a result of the current liquidity levels.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, was issued by 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 LCNBs 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 entitys 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 LCNBs consolidated balance sheet or income statement.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks
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 September 30, 2007 IRSA indicates that either an increase or a decrease in rates would have a negative effect on net interest income. The changes in net interest income for the up and down 100, 200, and 300 basis point rate assumptions are within LCNBs acceptable ranges.
Rate Shock Scenario in Basis Points | Amount (In thousands) | $ Change in Net Interest Income | % Change in Net Interest Income | |
Up 300 | $ | 18,509 | (41) | -0.22% |
Up 200 | 18,530 | (20) | -0.11% | |
Up 100 | 18,546 | (4) | -0.02% | |
Base | 18,550 | - | -% | |
Down 100 | 18,505 | (45) | -0.24% | |
Down 200 | 18,329 | (221) | -1.19% | |
Down 300 | 18,049 | (501) | -2.70% |
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 September 30, 2007 is shown below. The changes in the economic value of equity for these rate assumptions are within LCNBs acceptable ranges, except for the up 300 basis points scenario. The change for the up 300 basis points scenario is slightly outside LCNBs policy range of a 25% change for this category, but management has determined the change is acceptable in the current economic environment.
Rate Shock Scenario in Basis Points | Amount (In thousands) | $ Change in EVE | % Change in EVE | |
Up 300 | $ | 57,571 | (19,259) | -25.07% |
Up 200 | 60,130 | (16,700) | -21.74% | |
Up 100 | 62,350 | (14,480) | -18.85% | |
Base | 76,830 | - | -% | |
Down 100 | 64,138 | (12,692) | -16.52% | |
Down 200 | 62,168 | (14,662) | -19.08% | |
Down 300 | 60,574 | (16,256) | -21.16% |
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 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
There were no sales of unregistered equity securities of LCNB during the third quarter, 2007.
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 100,000 shares of its stock 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 200,000 total shares. Through September 30, 2007, 290,440 shares had been purchased under this program. No shares were purchased under this program during the third quarter, 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 have been purchased under this program since its inception. No shares were purchased under this program during the third quarter, 2007.
