Investing In Our Communities 2009 Annual Report Letter To Our Shareholders Dear Shareholders: LCNB’s philosophy of investing in our communi- ties has always been an important part of our his- tory and an important part of being a good corporate citizen. That investment has been in the form of mone- tary donations, donation of food and clothing, and vol- unteering manpower. While to our that commitment communities has always been present, it took on a higher priority in 2009. The recession and resulting high unemployment resulted in a greater need for help in our communities. As you will read later in this report, LCNB and all of its employees responded to the challenge. Steve Wilson The theme of last year’s annual report was “Strong – Local – Secure”. We remain a strong and secure financial institution today. The growth momentum we experienced in 2008 continued through 2009. Our assets grew by 13.03% from $650 million to $734 million. Adding the bank’s assets to trust assets of $197 million, mortgage loans serviced of $57 million, business cash man- agement assets of $18 million, and brokerage ac- count assets of $72 million resulted in the corporation managing a total of $1.1 billion of as- sets for its customers. Specifically, deposits grew 8.06% from $578 million to $624 million. Since consumer confidence continued to be low in 2009, overall loan growth was only 1.35%. But while consumer confidence waned, commercial loan growth was 6.85% growing from $213 mil- lion to $228 million in 2009. The net loan totals do not reflect that LCNB originated $28 million in additional 1-4 family residential mortgages that were sold in the secondary mortgage market en- abling our customers to take advantage of lower mortgage rates. income available to Net shareholders was $6.7 mil- lion representing a 1.07% re- turn on average assets and a 10.43% return on average shareholder’s equity. Basic earnings per common share were $1.00 in 2009 com- pared to $.99 in 2008. Total shareholder’s equity on De- cember 31, 2009 was $65.6 million. Our capital remains Steve Foster in the FDIC “well capitalized” designation. We have the capital, liquidity, earnings, asset quality, and growth to out-perform our industry in both the short and long run. While many financial institutions reduced or ceased paying a dividend in 2009, LCNB main- tained a dividend of $.64 per share. LCNB re- turned earnings to its shareholders with a dividend payout ratio of 64% in 2009. We cannot control our stock price in these emotional times, or any- time, but we can control our performance. In the long run we believe good performance and strong dividend payout will enhance shareholder value. Because of the many bank failures in 2009 (140) the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s Des- ignated Reserve Ratio fell below the minimum of 1.15%. Because of this shortfall the FDIC required all insured banks to pay a special assessment. LCNB paid an assessment (based on Total Assets less Tier One Capital) of $325,000 in addition to A N N U A L R E P O R T 2 0 0 9 1 I n v e s t i n g i n o u r c o m m u n i t i e s Letter To Our Shareholders a higher premium. In total LCNB expensed $1.3 million in FDIC premiums for 2009 compared to $75,000 in 2008. The FDIC then required insured financial institutions to prepay premiums for the next three years on December 30, 2009. That pre- payment resulted in LCNB paying over $3.1 mil- lion to the FDIC. This prepayment by all insured banks provided the FDIC with over $45 billion in cash to pay for anticipated bank failures. LCNB management still believes that the FDIC deposit guarantee is very important to the stability of our banking system, but the cost of doing business by healthy banks has risen significantly because of the mismanagement of some financial institutions. Our Board of Directors is made up of individuals that contribute to the success of LCNB. Joseph W. Schwarz is a director who started contributing at the very first board meeting he attended. While Joe has been a director for the last six years, LCNB has grown from a $524 million bank to a $734 million bank. Joe brought his success in his own business and applied it to banking. His guid- ance and leadership will be missed as he is retir- ing from the board at this year’s Annual Meeting. On February 6, 2010 we lost a former director who retired from the board in 2004. Jim Miller served as a member of the Board from 1979 to 2004. Jim was a valuable director and a fine gen- tleman to everyone who knew him. Jim was highly respected in the Lebanon community and he will be missed. Uncertainty is the watchword for 2010. The economy is still very weak with high unemploy- ment and low consumer confidence levels. Con- gress is having trouble passing legislation and bank failures are predicted to remain high. Continued LCNB will continue to do what we have done since 1877, provide safety for our depositors and loan money to those we know in our local com- munities. The experienced management of LCNB will strive to make 2010 another successful year. Your Board of Directors, officers, and employees understand that financial market concerns are still present and that the downturn in our econ- omy is severe and unlikely to improve in the near term. Yet, we enter 2010 with high expectations for continued growth and prosperity. The chal- lenges are many but so are the opportunities. We are positioned with financial strength, a great market area, the right products, delivery chan- nels, technology, and most important of all, the people to move successfully into the future. Additional statistical data and information on our financial performance for 2009 is 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 on our website, www.LCNB.com. The Annual Meeting for LCNB Corp. will be Tuesday, April 20, 2010 at 10:00am at our Main Office located at 2 North Broadway in Lebanon, Ohio. Proxy material is included with this initial mailing. Please review, sign and return the proxy in the envelope provided. We would be pleased to have you attend our annual meeting in person. Thank you for your continued support. Stephen P.

These store front banks promised the unsuspecting public a secure place to put their money. And, as quickly as they opened, they left town without a trace. Small savers were not the only victims. Even the cautious Shakers lost a substantial sum of $7,568 (equivalent to almost $200,000 today). From this “safe haven” philosophy of our founders has grown the “Invest in our Communities” mission that LCNB practices today. The times may be different but the goals of the bank are the same–give customers a secure place to deposit their money and invest in each of our communities through leadership, loans, donations and service. It is important to us to lend money responsibly to local residents and businesses so they can grow their equity and build for a secure financial future.This is what our founders had in mind when they opened their doors 132 years ago. “Investing in our commu- nities” is not just a saying, but a philoso- phy which yields real-life success stories that span generations and builds share- holder value. Once again, in 2009 LCNB National Bank was sought out as a “safe haven”. This was especially important in light of the volatile economy and stock markets of the past two years. Our customers knew they could depend on us to safe- guard their savings while also continuing to invest in their communities. We are proud to say that LCNB Corp., LCNB National Bank, Dakin Insurance Agency, Inc., and all of our 278 dedicated employees unselfishly answered this call. Volunteering as a team and individually We are proud to support hundreds of non-profit organizations, schools, churches, and service clubs throughout the six counties we serve. This is achieved through personal service time, financial donations, and volunteer leadeship. The projects range from sponsoring company- wide blood drives, to building homes with Habitat For Humanity, to speaking to students of all ages about the importance of saving and establishing good credit. Sometimes the volunteer effort is simply being part of a community event. You can be assured that if any of our com- munities are having a parade or celebration, you will find our employees there. ur Communities Donations for the greater good of our communities The economy has shaken the foundation of our not for profit communities. Finances have become tight and giving has declined. We anticipated this and planned accordingly. LCNB continues to be a strong supporter in United Way campaigns through donations and providing year-round leadership. We continue to supply a number of organizations with both contributions and volunteer effort. Sometimes our donations are offered in unique ways. For example, in August LCNB decided to bring attention to the problem of the over-stressed food pantry network in Southwestern Ohio. So, LCNB promoted the message “Support Your Local Food Pantry” by using 45 outdoor billboards, eight newspa- pers, and commercials on television, radio, and cable. The promotion began in September to remind everyone that the need for food donations is ongoing and not just during the holidays. The response is still being felt and the goodwill generated was humbling. We Have Money to Lend In 2009, LCNB National Bank was one of the few regional financial institutions that aggressively promoted “We have Money to Lend”. Our responsible lending philosophy over the years gave us a great advantage over those who were not responsible. This means that our customers can be confi- dent as they build for their future because they can depend on their bank for their lending needs. Our city, town- ship, and county government customers are also comforted in their knowledge that, if they need funding, LCNB will be there for them. In 2008, the U.S. Treasury Department asked profitable and secure banks, like us, to help distribute monies through lending programs in order to help stimulate the stalled economy. LCNB did as asked and distrib- uted $63.9 million in home loans, $60.3 million in loans to businesses and $47.8 million in loans to municipal governments. We also supported the national mortgage markets with purchases of over $33.5 million of government guaranteed mortgage securities. LCNB repaid the Treasury’s investment in full in October 2009. The request by the U.S. Treasury was viewed by us as our duty. We are glad to have helped make a difference.
