LCNB Corp. Reports Financial Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2011.

LEBANON, Ohio -- LCNB Corp. (OTCBB: LCNB) today announced net income of $2,302,000 (total basic and diluted earnings per common share of $0.34) for the three months ended March 31, 2011. This compares to $2,212,000 (total basic and diluted earnings per common share of $0.33) for the same three-month period in 2010. The $90,000 increase in net income was due to a $753,000 increase in income from discontinued operations, net of tax, caused by the sale of LCNB's insurance agency subsidiary during the first quarter 2011. In late 2010, LCNB Corp.'s board of directors resolved to sell the insurance agency subsidiary and therefore its financial results are reported in the income statement as income from discontinued operations, net of taxes. The increase in income from discontinued operations reflects the gain recognized on the sale, less certain related closing costs, taxes, and a curtailment expense recognized in LCNB's nonqualified defined benefit retirement plan due to the sale.

Net income from continuing operations for the first quarter 2011 was $663,000 less than the first quarter of 2010 primarily due to a $531,000 increase in the provision for loan losses and a $519,000 increase in non-interest expense.

Net loan charge-offs for the first quarter of 2011 and 2010 totaled $374,000 and $146,000, respectively. Non-accrual loans and loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest totaled $3,670,000 or 0.79% of total loans at March 31, 2011, compared to $4,061,000 or 0.89% of total loans at December 31, 2010. The decrease was primarily due to the receipt of a guarantee payment on a Small Business Administration loan that had been classified as non-accrual at December 31, 2010. The provision for loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 2011 increased $531,000 over the comparative period in 2010 due to increased net charge-offs, troubled debt restructurings, and current economic conditions. Other real estate owned (which includes property acquired through foreclosure or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure and also includes property deemed to be in-substance foreclosed) and other repossessed assets totaled approximately $2,319,000 at March 31, 2011 and $2,114,000 at December 31, 2010. The increase was primarily due to inventory repossessed from a commercial borrower that ceased operations.

Net interest income for the first quarter 2011 was $82,000 less than for the comparable 2010 period primarily due to a reduction in general market rates. Non-interest income for the first quarter 2011 was $178,000 greater than the comparable 2010 period primarily due to increased gains from the sale of investment securities. Non-interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2011 increased $519,000 from the comparative period in 2010 largely due to a $145,000 increase in salaries and a $139,000 increase in employee benefits.
