                        LCNB Corp. and Subsidiary
                Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                             (Unaudited)

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Effective May 18, 1999, Lebanon Citizens National Bank ("Lebanon
Citizens"), was reorganized into a one-bank holding company structure.
Substantially all of the assets, liabilities and operations of LCNB
Corp., the new consolidated holding company, are attributable to its
wholly-owned subsidiary, Lebanon Citizens.  The accompanying unaudited
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of LCNB Corp. and
Lebanon Citizens.  The financial information prior to the reorganization
consists of Lebanon Citizens.

The statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles for interim financial information and the
instructions to Form 10-Q.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of
management, the unaudited 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.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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 months and six months ended June 30,
1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for
the full year ending December 31, 1999.  These unaudited consolidated
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements, accounting policies and financial notes thereto
included in LCNB Corp.'s Form S-4 filed with the Commission.

        NOTE 2 - 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.
LCNB Corp.'s capital structure includes no potential for dilution.  There
are no warrants, options or other arrangements that would increase the
number of shares outstanding.


NOTE 3 - RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities".
In most instances the standard, once adopted, precludes any held-to-
maturity security from being designated as a hedged item.  Lebanon
Citizens adopted SFAS No. 133 in the fourth quarter of 1998.  To
provide the flexibility in the future to designate securities as
hedged items the Bank recategorized its held-to-maturity securities as
available for sale.  The amortized cost and related unrealized net
gain of the transferred securities was $42,768,000 and $716,000,
respectively, at the date of transfer.  This change in accounting
principle had no effect on reported net income.  Comprehensive income
for the year ended December 31, 1998 increased $473,000 after income
taxes of $243,000.


                               LCNB Corp. and
                        Lebanon Citizens National Bank

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
        and Results of Operations


COMPARATIVE FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Effective May 18, 1999, Lebanon Citizens National Bank was reorganized
into a one-bank holding company structure.  Prior to that date, the
financial information presented represents the assets, liabilities and
operations of Lebanon Citizens.  Comparative earnings per share
information is presented on a pro forma basis.


FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain matters disclosed herein may be deemed to be forward-looking
statements that involve risks and uncertainties, including regulatory
policy changes, interest rate fluctuations, loan demand, loan
delinquencies and losses, and other risks.  Actual strategies and
results in future time periods may differ materially from those
currently expected.  Such forward-looking statements represent
management's judgment as of the current date.  The Company disclaims,
however, any intent or obligation to update such forward-looking
statements.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
LCNB Corp. earned $1.389 million for the three months ended June 30,
1999 compared to $1.321 million for the three months ended June 30,
1998. Earnings per share were $.79 for the second quarter of 1999, up
5% from the $.75 per share earned in the second quarter of 1998.
Annualized performance ratios included a return on average assets of
1.29% and a return on average equity of 12.92%, compared with the same
ratios for the second quarter of 1998 of 1.28% and 13.24%,
respectively.

For the first six months of 1999 LCNB Corp. earned $2.562 million
compared to $2.297 million for the first six months of 1998.  Earnings
per share were $1.46 in 1999, up 11% from the $1.31 per share earned
the same period in 1998. Return on average assets was 1.21% for the
first six months of 1999 and return on average equity was 12.01% for

Net interest income on a fully taxable basis for the second quarter of
1999 totaled $4.231 million, up $280 thousand, or 7.1%, from the second
quarter of 1998. The $280 thousand increase in net interest income was
primarily due to  a $13.9 million increase in average earning assets and
a 14 basis point increase in the net interest margin.

Net interest income for the first six months of 1999 totaled $8.372
million; up $679 thousand, or 8.8% from the first six months of 1998.
The $679 thousand increase was primarily due to a $12.8 million increase
in average earning assets and a 22 basis point increase in the net
interest margin.

The net interest margin increased from 4.10% in the second quarter of
1998 to 4.24% in the second quarter of 1999.  This 14 basis point
increase was due in part to a 40 basis point decline in the cost of
average interest-bearing liabilities, partially offset by a 24 basis
point decline in the yield on average interest-earning assets.  The
decline in the cost of average interest-bearing funds resulted from the
replacement of higher cost time deposits with lower cost savings
deposits.  The decline in the yield on average interest-earning assets is
due to lower yields attributable to commercial loans and mortgage loans.

The net interest margin increased from 4.02% in the first six months of
1998 to 4.24% in the first six months of 1999.  This 22 basis point
increase resulted from a 45 basis point decline in the cost of interest-
bearing liabilities partially offset by a 22 basis point decline in yield
on interest-earning assets.  These trends were attributable to the same
factors as those noted in the quarterly net interest margin comparison
above.

Average interest-earning assets totaled $400.1 million for the second
quarter of 1999, up $13.9 million from the same period in 1998. The
increase was primarily attributable to increases in commercial loans and
securities. Average earning assets for the six month period ended June
30, 1999 remained relatively stable when compared with the comparable
period of 1998.  Average interest-bearing liabilities totaled $336.8
million for the second quarter of 1999, up $8.6 million from the same
period in 1998. Average interest-bearing liabilities totaled $335.4
million for the six months ended June 30, 1999, an increase of $5.2
million from the six month period ended June 30, 1998.

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 credit
losses at a level considered appropriate in relation to the risk of
losses inherent in the portfolio.  The total loan loss provision and the
other changes in the allowance for loan losses are shown below.

Of the total charge-offs so far in 1999, $126,000 or 90% is attributable
to consumer loans.  For the first six months of 1998, consumer loans
charged off amounted to $59,000 or 70% of total charge-offs.  On June 30,
1999, LCNB adopted a new uniform charge-off policy for consumer, credit
card and home mortgage loans as mandated by the Federal Financial
Institution's Examination Council for all banks and thrifts.  It includes
a requirement to charge-off open-end credit at 180 days delinquency and
closed-end credit at 120 days delinquency.  While this policy change
resulted in an increase in net charge-offs in the second quarter and
first six months of 1999 compared with the comparable period of 1998,
management believes that no significant difference will occur
prospectively in net charge-offs as a result of this policy change.

The following table sets forth information regarding the past-due,
non-accrual and renegotiated loans of the Bank at the dates indicated:

                                          ==             ===






The decrease in accruing loans which are past due 90 days or more is due
primarily to the settlement of a large commercial credit in the first
half of 1999 as well as the FFIEC required change in the charge-off
policy mentioned above.


NON-INTEREST INCOME
Non-interest income of $812 thousand increased $105 thousand, or 14.9% in
the second quarter of 1999 compared to the second quarter of 1998.  Trust
income of $239 thousand increased $48 thousand, or 25.1%, from the second
quarter of 1998 due to an increase in estate fees, as well as an increase
in the market value of assets under management on which fees are based.
Service charges and fees increased 8.0% due to an increase in ATM fees
resulting from five additional ATM machines, a rate increase in the ATM
transaction fee in the second quarter of 1998, and a larger base of
cardholders and merchant relationships principally resulting from greater
penetration of markets acquired with branch purchases in September 1997.

Non-interest income of $1.557 million in the first six months of 1999
increased $108 thousand, or 7.5%, compared with the first six months in
1998 due primarily to the reasons mentioned in the preceding paragraph.
The decline in Other Operating Income was attributable to a gain recorded
in 1998 on the sale of property in connection with the consolidation of
branches in Waynesville, which did not recur in 1999.


NON-INTEREST EXPENSE
Total non-interest expense increased $234 thousand, or 8.7%, in the
second quarter 1999 compared with the second quarter 1998.  The increase
was due in part to labor costs, including pension and other benefits,
relating to salary increases.  Other expenses also contributed to this
increase as a result of increased volumes of ATM and credit card
activity, a change in strategy of paying for correspondent banking
analysis charges rather than maintaining higher levels of non-interest
bearing balances, and consulting fees.  These increases were partially
offset by lower marketing and equipment costs.

Total non-interest expense increased $317 thousand, or 5.6%, in the six
months ended June 30, 1999 compared with the first six months of 1998.
The increase was primarily due to the same factors as noted above.  In
addition, telecommunication costs increased due to branch networking-
related enhancements.

</TABLE>


Total average assets increased $4.4 million in the second quarter of 1999
from the first quarter and $3.7 million from the fourth quarter of 1998.
The increase from the first quarter is primarily due to growth in the
commercial loan portfolio.  The increase from the fourth quarter of 1998
is due to purchases of higher taxable equivalent yielding tax-exempt
securities, partially offset by a reduction in Federal funds sold.
Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $2.9 million from the first
quarter of 1999 and $.6 million from the fourth quarter of 1998.  Average
non-interest bearing deposits increased $1.7 million from the first
quarter of 1999 and $2.6 million from the fourth quarter of 1998.


REGULATORY CAPITAL
Lebanon Citizens is 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 I capital (essentially shareholders'
equity less goodwill and other intangibles) and Tier II 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 Lebanon Citizens' 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 I
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%. A summary of the regulatory capital and capital ratios of Lebanon
Citizens follows:

LIQUIDITY
Liquidity is the ability to have funds available at all times to meet the
commitments of Lebanon Citizens.  Asset liquidity is provided by cash and
assets which are readily marketable or pledgeable or which will mature in
the near future.  Liquid assets included cash and deposits in banks,
federal funds sold and securities available for sale.  Liquidity is also
provided by access to core funding sources, primarily core depositors in
the bank's trade area. Lebanon Citizens does not solicit brokered
deposits as a funding source.  The liquidity of Lebanon Citizens is
enhanced by the fact that 87% of total deposits at June 30, 1999 were
"core" deposits.  Core deposits, for this purpose, are defined as total
deposits less public funds and certificates of deposit greater than
$100,000.  At June 30, 1999, Lebanon Citizens liquid assets amounted to
$135.6 million or 32% of total gross assets, down from $143.7 million or
33% at December 31, 1998.  Secondary sources of liquidity include Lebanon
Citizens' ability to sell loan participations and purchase federal funds.
Management closely monitors the level of liquid assets available to meet
ongoing funding needs. It is management's intent to maintain adequate
liquidity so that sufficient funds are readily available at a reasonable
cost.  Loans to deposits were 72% and 69%, at June 30, 1999 and December
31, 1998, respectively.  Lebanon Citizens experienced no liquidity or
operational problems as a result of the current liquidity levels.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE
As discussed in the "Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations" section of LCNB Corp.'s Form S-4, as
amended, Lebanon Citizens initiated a company-wide program in April 1997
to address Year 2000 concerns.  Lebanon Citizens adopted the Federal
Financial Institutions Examination Council guidelines.  This five-step
approach included the following phases: Awareness, Assessment,
Renovation, Validation and Implementation.

Lebanon Citizens has concluded its fourth phase of the program.  All
computer operating systems have been tested with no detected errors.  The
readiness of its vendors, major customers and other third parties that do
business with Lebanon Citizens have been reviewed with satisfactory
results.  Additionally, all non-information technology systems were
examined and none were found to be date sensitive, and therefore are
compliant.  A supplementary contingency plan, as a back up, was developed
in 1999 to address procedures to be followed, potential liquidity needs,
etc. in the event of unforeseen issues or problems.  Lebanon Citizens is
currently concentrating on educating its customers.

No material costs were incurred through the first six months of 1999
regarding the Y2K compliance issues and no material costs are expected to
be incurred for the remainder of 1999.
