The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated condensed financial statements include LCNB Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries: LCNB National Bank and LCNB Risk Management, Inc., its captive insurance company. All material intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.

The unaudited interim consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the SEC.  Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations.  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 the Company's financial position, results of consolidated operations, and cash flows for the interim periods, as required by Regulation S-X, Rule 8-03.

The consolidated condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 20212022 has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet as of that date.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated 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 ended March 31, 20222023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2022.2023.  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 20212022 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC.

Accounting ChangesADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Financial Accounting Standards (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-04, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting"
ASU No. 2020-04 was issued in March 2020 and provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for or recognizing the effects of reference rate reform on financial reporting. The amendments provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. TheOriginally, the amendments in this update arewere effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. ASU No. 2022-06, "Reference
Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848" extended the sunset date from December 31, 2022 to
December 31, 2024. LCNB has adopted the standard and utilized the LIBOR transition relief allowed under ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2020-06. The impact was immaterial as all loans indexed to LIBOR were transitioned to another referenced index, predominately the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") for one, three, and six months. In all instances, LCNB was able to meet the criteria for the practical expedients and there was no impact on it's results of consolidated operations or financial position.

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION (continued)

ASU No. 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial
Instruments" ("ASC 326")
The Company adopted ASC 326 on January 1, 2023. It significantly changed guidance for recognizing impairment of financial instruments. Previous guidance required an "incurred loss" methodology for recognizing credit losses that delayed recognition until it was probable a loss had been incurred. ASC 326 replaced the incurred loss impairment methodology with a new "current expected credit loss" ("CECL") methodology that reflects expected credit losses over the lives of the credit instruments and requires consideration of a broader range of information to estimate credit losses. ASC 326 requires an organization to estimate all expected credit losses for financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loans and held-to-maturity debt securities, based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. It also applies to off-balance sheet credit exposures, such as loan commitments, standby letters of credit, financial guarantees, and other similar instruments. ASC 326 also made changes to the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities. Additional disclosures are required.

LCNB adopted ASC 326 using the modified retrospective method for all financial assets measured at amortized cost and off-balance sheet credit exposures. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2023 are presented under ASC 326, while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable guidance. The following table shows the impact of adopting ASC 326 on January 1, 2013 (in thousands):

ACL - LOANS
The allowance for credit losses ("ACL") is a valuation account that is deducted from the loans' amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected on the loans. Loans are charged off against the allowance when management believes that the uncollectability of a loan balance is confirmed. Expected recoveries do not exceed the aggregate of amounts previously charged-off and expected to be charged-off.

Management estimates the allowance balance using relevant available information, from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Historical credit loss experience provides the basis for the estimation of expected credit losses. Adjustments to historical loss information are made for differences in current loan-specific risk characteristics such as differences in underwriting standards, portfolio mix, delinquency level, or term as well as changes in external conditions, such as changes in unemployment rates, property values, or other relevant factors.

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION (continued)

Accrued interest receivable totaling $6.5 million at March 31, 2023 was excluded from the amortized cost basis of the estimate of credit losses and is reported in interest receivable on the consolidated condensed balance sheets. Loans are generally placed on non-accrual status at 90 days past due or when the borrower's ability to repay becomes doubtful. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, any accrued interest is reversed and charged against interest income.

ACL - LOANS - COLLECTIVELY EVALUATED
The ACL is measured on a collective pool basis when similar risk characteristics exist. LCNB has identified the following portfolio segments:
Commercial and industrial loans
Commercial, secured by real estate
Real estate loans secured by owner occupied commercial real estate
Real estate loans secured by non-owner occupied commercial real estate
Real estate loans secured by farms
Real estate loans secured by multi-family dwellings
Construction loans secured by 1-4 family dwellings
Construction loans secured by other real estate

Residential real estate
Residential real estate loans secured by senior liens on 1-4 family dwellings
Residential real estate loans secured by junior liens on 1-4 family dwellings
Home equity line of credit loans
Consumer loans
Agricultural loans not secured by real estate

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION (continued)

Management has chosen the discounted cash flow ("DCF") methodology to estimate the quantitative portion of the allowance for credit losses on loans for all loan pools except for the farm real estate and agricultural pools, which use the weighted average remaining maturity ("WARM") methodology. A Loss Driver Analysis (“LDA”) was performed for each segment to identify potential loss drivers and create a regression model for use in forecasting cash flows. The LDA analyses for all DCF-based pools utilized LCNB’s data and peer data from the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council's (“FFIEC”) Call Report filings.

In creating the DCF model, as well as reviewing the model quarterly, management established a one-quarter reasonable and supportable forecast period with a two-quarter straight line reversion to the long-term historical average. Due to the infrequency of losses within the farm real estate and agricultural loan portfolios, LCNB elected to use peer data for a more statistically sound calculation.

Key assumptions in the DCF model include the probability of default (“PD”), loss given default (“LGD”), and prepayment/curtailment rates. The model-driven PD and LGD are derived using company specific historical data. Prepayment and curtailment rates were calculated using third party studies of LCNB's data.

Expected credit losses are estimated over the contractual term of the loans, adjusted for prepayments when appropriate. The contractual term excludes extensions, renewals, and modifications unless the extension or renewal options are included in the original or modified contract at the reporting date and are not unconditionally cancellable by the Company.

Qualitative factors for the DCF and WARM methodologies include the following:
Actual and expected changes in international, national, regional, and local economic and business conditions and developments in which the Company operates that affect the collectability of financial assets;
The effect of other external factors such as the regulatory, legal and technological environments, competition, and events such as natural disasters or pandemics; and
Model risk including statistical risk, reversion risk, timing risk, and model limitation risk.

ACL - LOANS - INDIVIDUALLY EVALUATED
Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis and are excluded from the collective evaluation.
Management has determined that any loans which have been placed on non-performing status will be individually evaluated. When management determines that foreclosure is probable, expected credit losses for collateral dependent loans are based on the estimated fair value of the collateral at the reporting date, adjusted for selling costs as appropriate. A loan is considered collateral dependent when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and the loan is expected to be repaid substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral. Other non-performing loans may estimate fair value using either the collateral valuation or the net present value of expected future cash receipts, depending on the financial situation of the borrower.

ACL - HELD-TO-MATURITY (“HTM”) DEBT SECURITIES
Expected credit losses on HTM debt securities are measured on a collective basis by major security type. Accrued interest receivable on HTM securities totaled $188,000 at March 31, 2023 and is excluded from the estimate of credit losses. The HTM securities portfolio consists of taxable and nontaxable municipal securities from local governmental entities. The estimate of expected credit losses considers historical credit loss information that is adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. At the time of adoption, the estimated reserve was immaterial.

ACL - AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE (“AFS”) DEBT SECURITIES
For AFS debt securities in an unrealized loss position, LCNB first assesses whether it intends to sell, or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell, the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the security's amortized cost basis is written down to fair value through income. For AFS debt securities that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, the Company evaluates whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors. In making this assessment, management considers the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, and adverse conditions specifically related to the security, among other factors. If this assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security are compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, a credit loss exists and an allowance for credit losses is recorded for the credit loss, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. Any decline in fair value that has not been recorded through an allowance for credit losses is recognized in other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes.

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION (continued)

Changes in the ACL are recorded as a provision for (or recovery of) credit loss expense. Losses are charged against allowance when management believes that uncollectability of an AFS debt security is confirmed or when either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met.

Accrued interest receivable on AFS debt securities totaled $1.3 million at March 31, 2023 and is excluded from the estimate of credit losses.

ACL - OFF-BALANCE SHEET CREDIT EXPOSURES
LCNB estimates expected credit losses over the contractual period during which it is exposed to credit risk by a contractual obligation to extend credit, unless that obligation is unconditionally cancellable by the Company. The allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures is adjusted as a provision for credit loss expense. The estimate includes consideration of the likelihood that funding will occur and an estimate is made of expected credit losses on commitments expected to be funded over their estimated lives. Funding rates are based on a historical analysis of the Company’s portfolio, while estimates of credit losses are determined using the same loss rates as funded loans.

REGULATORY CAPITAL
Federal banking regulatory agencies allow an optional phase-in period of three years for banks to absorb the impact to regulatory capital of implementing CECL. LCNB has elected not to exercise this option and the full impact of adopting ASU No. 2016-13 is included in regulatory capital as of March 31, 2023. Adoption of the ASU did not materially affect LCNB's regulatory capital ratios.

ASU No. 2022-02, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures"
ASU No. 2022-02 was issued in March 2022 and became effective for LCNB on January 1, 2023. These amendments eliminated previous TDR recognition and measurement guidance and, instead, required that an entity evaluate whether the modification represents a new loan or a continuation of an existing loan. The amendments also enhance disclosure requirements and introduce new disclosure requirements for certain modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties. Additionally, the amendments require the disclosure of current-period gross charge-offs by year of origination.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS NOT YET EFFECTIVE
From time to time the FASB issues an ASU to communicate changes to U.S. GAAP. The following information provides brief summaries of newly issued but not yet effective ASUs that could have an effect on LCNB’s financial position or results of consolidated operations:

ASU No. 2023-02, "Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Accounting for Investments in Tax Credit Structures Using the Proportional Amortization Method (a Consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force)"
ASU No. 2023-02 was issued in March 2023 and allows reporting entities the option to use the proportional amortization method to account for equity investments made primarily for the purpose of receiving income tax credits and other income tax benefits when certain requirements are met, regardless of the tax credit program from which the income tax credits are received. The proportional amortization method was previously limited to Low-Income Housing Tax Credit investments. Under the proportional amortization method, an entity amortizes the initial cost of the investment in proportion to the income tax credits and other income tax benefits received and recognizes the net amortization and income tax credits and other income tax benefits in the income statement as a component of income tax expense (benefit). For public business entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. LCNB does not expect the guidance inadoption of ASU No. 2020-04 will2023-02 to have a material impact on its results of consolidated operations or financial position.

ASU No. 2018-14, "Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans"
ASU No. 2018-14 was issued in August 2018 and was adopted by LCNB on January 1, 2021. The amendments in this update modify disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans, including the deletion, modification, and addition of certain targeted disclosures. The amendments are to be applied on a retrospective basis to all periods presented upon adoption. Adoption of ASU No. 2018-14 did not have a material impact on LCNB's results of consolidated operations or financial position.

ASU No. 2019-12, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes"
ASU No. 2019-12 was issued in December 2019 and adopted by LCNB on January 1, 2021. It simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and clarifies and amends certain other guidance. Adoption of ASU No. 2019-12 did not have a material impact on LCNB's results of consolidated operations or financial position.

ManagementLCNB has determinednot specifically identified available-for-sale securities in a loss position that it intends to sell in the unrealized losses at March 31, 2022 are primarily due to fluctuations in market interest ratesnear term and do not reflect credit quality deterioration of the securities.   Because LCNB does not have the intent to sell the investments andbelieve that it is more likely than not that LCNB will not be required to sell any such securities. Securities are reviewed on a quarterly basis to assess declines in fair value for credit losses. Consideration is given to such factors as the investments before recoverycredit rating of their amortized cost bases, which may be at maturity, LCNB does not consider these investmentsthe borrower, market conditions such as current interest rates, any adverse conditions specific to be other-than-temporarily impaired.

Two residential real estate loans secured by senior liens on 1-4 family dwellings were added to the non-accrual classification during the first quarter of 2023. Accrued interest reversed and charged against interest income for these loans totaled approximately $3,000.

The ratio of non-accrual loans to total loans outstanding at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was 0.05% and 0.03%, respectively. The ratio of the allowance for loancredit losses for the three months endedloans to total non-accrual loans at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was 1,121.09% and 2021 were1,445.88%, respectively.

ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES
The ACL is an estimate of the expected credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost, which is measured using relevant information about past events, including historical credit loss experience on financial assets with similar risk characteristics, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the remaining cash flows over the contractual term of the financial assets. A provision for credit losses is charged to operations based on management’s periodic evaluation of these and other pertinent factors as follows (in thousands):discussed within Note 1 – Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies included in this Form 10-Q.

During the first quarter of 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13, including the CECL methodology for estimating the ACL. This standard was adopted using a modified retrospective approach on January 1, 2023. See Note 1 - Basis of Presentation - Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements for a summary of the impact adoption of ASU 2016-13 had on LCNB's ACL, retained earnings, and deferred taxes.

QUANTITATIVE CONSIDERATIONS
The ACL is primarily calculated utilizing a DCF model. Key inputs and assumptions used in this model are discussed below:
Forecast model - For each portfolio segment, an LDA was performed in order to identify appropriate loss drivers and create a regression model for use in forecasting cash flows. The LDA analysis utilized peer FFIEC Call Report data for all pools. The Company plans to update the LDA when materially relevant.
Probability of default – PD is the probability that an asset will be in default within a given time frame. The Company has defined default as when a charge-off has occurred, a loan goes to non-accrual status, a loan is greater than 90 days past due, or financial difficulty modification status change. The forecast model is utilized to estimate PDs.
Loss given default – LGD is the percentage of the asset not expected to be collected due to default. The LGD is derived from company specific loss data.
Prepayments and curtailments – Prepayments and curtailments are calculated based on the Company’s own data. This analysis is updated annually.
Forecast and reversion – the Company as of January 1, 2023 established a one-quarter reasonable and supportable forecast period with a one-quarter straight line reversion to the long-term historical average. As of March 31, 2023, the Company established a one-quarter reasonable and supportable forecast period with a two-quarter straight line reversion to the long-term historical average.
Economic forecast – the Company utilizes a third party to provide economic forecasts under various scenarios, which are assessed against economic indicators and management’s observations in the market. As of January 1, 2023, the date of CECL adoption, the Company selected a forecast which forecasted unemployment between 4.16% and 4.43%, the change in Coincident Economic Activity between 0.82% and 1.77%, the change in Commercial Real Estate Price Indexes between 5% and 9%, and change in Home Price Index between -(6%) and -(1%) during the forecast and reversion periods. As of March 31, 2023, the Company selected a forecast which forecasts unemployment between 4.11% and 4.76%, the change in Coincident Economic Activity between 0.64% and 0.87%, the change in Commercial Real Estate Price Indexes between 12% and 16%, and change in Home Price Index between -(5%) and -(2%) during the forecast and reversion periods.. Management believes that the resulting quantitative reserve appropriately balances economic indicators with identified risks.

QUALITATIVE CONSIDERATIONS
In addition to the quantitative model, management considers the need for qualitative adjustment for risks not considered in the DCF. Factors that are considered by management in determining loan collectability and the appropriate level of the ACL are listed below:
Actual and expected changes in international, national, regional, and local economic and business conditions and developments in which the Company operates that affect the collectability of financial assets;
The effect of other external factors such as the regulatory, legal and technological environments, competition, and events such as natural disasters or pandemics.

For collateral dependent loans where management has determined that foreclosure of the collateral is probable, or where the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and repayment of the loan is to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral, the allowance for credit losses is measured based on the difference between the fair value of the collateral, less costs to sell, and the amortized cost basis of the loan as of the measurement date.

The risk characteristics of LCNB's material loan portfolio segments were as follows:

Commercial & Industrial Loans. LCNB’s commercial & industrial loan portfolio consists of loans for variousa variety of purposes, including, for example, loans to fund working capital requirements (such as inventory and receivables financing) and purchases of machinery and equipment.  LCNB offers a variety of commercial & industrial loan arrangements, including term loans, balloon loans, and lines of credit.  Commercial & industrial loans can have a fixed or variable rate, with maturities ranging from one to ten years.  Commercial & industrial loans are offered to businesses and professionals for short and medium terms on both a collateralized and uncollateralized basis. Commercial & industrial loans typically are underwritten on the basis of the borrower’s ability to make repayment from the cash flow of the business.  Collateral, when obtained, may include liens on furniture, fixtures, equipment, inventory, receivables, or other assets.  As a result, such loans involve complexities, variables, and risks that require thorough underwriting and more robust servicing than other types of loans.

This category includes PPP loans that were authorized under the CARES Act and updated by the Economic Aid Act. The PPP was implemented by the SBA with support from the Department of the Treasury and provided small businesses that were negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic with government guaranteed and potentially forgivable loans that could be used to pay up to eight or twenty-four weeks, depending on the date of the loan, of payroll costs including benefits. Funds could also be used to pay interest on mortgages, rent, utilities, covered operations expenditures, covered property damage costs, covered supplier costs, and covered worker protection expenditures.

Consumer loans generally have higher interest rates, but pose additional risks of collectibilitycollectability and loss when compared to certain other types of loans.

Overdraft payments are recorded as a recovery and overdrafts are generally written off after 34 days with a negative balance.

LCNB uses a risk-rating system to quantify loan quality.  A loan is assigned to a risk category based on relevant information about the ability of the borrower to service the debt including, but not limited to, current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends.  The categories used are:

Pass – loans categorized in this category are higher quality loans that do not fit any of the other categories described below.
Other Assets Especially Mentioned ("OAEM") – loans in this category are currently protected but are potentially weak. These loans constitute a risk but not to the point of justifying a classification of substandard.  The credit risk may be relatively minor yet constitute an undue risk in light of the circumstances surrounding a specific asset.
Substandard – loans in this category are inadequately protected by the current sound net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any.  Assets so classified must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt.  They are characterized by the possibility that LCNB will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
Doubtful – loans classified in this category have all the weaknesses inherent in loans classified as substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

NoteNOTE 13 – Earnings per Common ShareEARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
 
LCNB has granted restricted stock awards with non-forfeitable dividend rights, which are considered participating securities. Accordingly, earnings per share is computed using the two-class method as required by ASC No. 260-10-45. Basic earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net income allocated to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, which excludes the participating securities.  Diluted earnings per common share is adjusted for the dilutive effects of stock options, warrants, and restricted stock.  The diluted average number of common shares outstanding has been increased for the assumed exercise of stock options and warrants with proceeds used to purchase treasury shares at the average market price for the period.  

Earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 20222023 and 20212022 were calculated as follows (dollars in thousands, except share and per share data):

NoteNOTE 14 - Fair Value MeasurementsFAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
 
LCNB measures certain assets at fair value using various valuation techniques and assumptions, depending on the nature of the asset.  Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from the sale of an asset in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The inputs to the valuation techniques used to measure fair value are assigned to one of three broad levels:
Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the reporting date.

Note 14 - Fair Value Measurements (continued)
Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly.  Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets in active markets, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices (such as interest rates or yield curves) that are observable for the asset or liability, and inputs that are derived from or corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 – inputs that are unobservable for the asset or liability.
Equity Securities With a Readily Determinable Fair Value
EQUITY SECURITIES WITH A READILY DETERMINABLE FAIR VALUE
Equity securities with a readily determinable fair value are reported at fair value with changes in fair value reported in other operating income in the consolidated condensed statements of income. Fair values for equity securities are determined based on market quotations (level 1). At December 31, 2022, LCNB has investedhad investments in two mutual funds that arewere traded in active markets and their fair values arewere based on market quotations (level 1). These two mutual funds were sold during the first quarter of 2023. Investments in another two mutual funds are measured at fair value using net asset values and are considered level 1 because the net asset values are determined and published and are the basis for current transactions.

Debt Securities, Available-for-SaleDEBT SECURITIES, AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE
The majority of LCNB's financial debt securities are classified as available-for-sale.  The securities are reported at fair value with unrealized holding gains and losses reported net of income taxes in accumulated other comprehensive income. LCNB utilizes a pricing service for determining the fair values of its debt securities.  Methods and significant assumptions used to estimate fair value were as follows:

Fair values for U.S. Treasury notes are determined based on market quotations (level 1).
Fair values for the other debt securities are calculated using the discounted cash flow method for each security.  The discount rates for these cash flows are estimated by the pricing service using rates observed in the market (level 2). Cash flow streams are dependent on estimated prepayment speeds and the overall structure of the securities given existing market conditions.  

Assets Recorded at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring BasisASSETS RECORDED AT FAIR VALUE ON A NONRECURRING BASIS
Assets that may be recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include individually evaluated collateral dependent loans (or impaired loans prior to the adoption of ASC 326), other real estate owned, and other repossessed assets.

A loan is considered impaired when management believes it is probableLCNB does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis.However, from time to time, nonrecurring fair value adjustments to collateral dependent loans are recorded to reflect partial write-downs or specific reserves that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance withare based on the contractual termsobservable market price or current estimated value of the loan agreement.  Impairedcollateral.These loans are carriedreported in the nonrecurring table below at initial recognition of significant borrower distress and on an ongoing basis until recovery or charge-off.The fair values of distressed loans are determined using either the present valuesales comparison approach or income approach. Respective unobservable inputs for the approaches consist of estimated future cash flows usingadjustments for differences between comparable sales and the loan's existing rate or the fair valueutilization of collateral if the loan is collateral dependent, if this value is less than the loan balance.  These inputs are considered to be level 3.

Note 15 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements

From time to time the FASB issues an ASU to communicate changes to U.S. GAAP. The following information provides brief summaries of newly issued but not yet effective ASUs that could have an effect on LCNB’s financial position or results of consolidated operations:

ASU No. 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments"
ASU No. 2016-13 was issued in June 2016 and, once effective, will significantly change current guidance for recognizing impairment of financial instruments. Current guidance requires an "incurred loss" methodology for recognizing credit losses that delays recognition until it is probable a loss has been incurred. ASU No. 2016-13 replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology with a new current expected credit loss ("CECL") methodology that reflects expected credit losses over the lives of the loans and requires consideration of a broader range of information to inform credit loss estimates. The ASU requires an organization to estimate all expected credit losses for financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loans and held-to-maturity debt securities, based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Additional disclosures are required.

ASU No. 2016-13 also amends the accounting for credit losses on debt securities, available-for-sale, and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. Under the new guidance, entities will determine whether all or a portion of the unrealized loss on an available-for-sale debt security is a credit loss. Any credit loss will be recognized as an allowance for credit losses on debt securities, available-for-sale, rather than as a direct reduction of the amortized cost basis of the investment, as is currently required. As a result, entities will recognize improvements to estimated credit losses on debt securities, available-for-sale, immediately in earnings rather than as interest income over time, as currently required.

ASU No. 2016-13 eliminates the current accounting model for purchased credit impaired loans and debt securities. Instead, purchased financial assets with credit deterioration will be recorded gross of estimated credit losses as of the date of acquisition and the estimated credit losses amounts will be added to the allowance for credit losses. Thereafter, entities will account for additional impairment of such purchased assets using the models listed above.
Originally, ASU No. 2016-13 would have taken effect for SEC filers for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. At their meeting on October 16, 2019, FASB approved a final ASU delaying the effective date for several major standards, including ASU No. 2016-13, if certain qualifications are met. The new effective date for SEC filers eligible to be smaller reporting companies ("SRC"), as defined, will be fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption is permitted. As an SRC, LCNB intends to adopt ASU No. 2016-13 for the fiscal year, and interim periods within the fiscal year, beginning after December 15, 2022.

LCNB has created a cross-functional CECL Committee, which reports to the Audit Committee, composed of members from the lending, Wealth Management, and finance departments. During 2017, the CECL Committee selected a vendor to assist in implementation of and ongoing compliance with the new requirements. It has completed analyzing its data collection efforts, selected a calculation model, analyzed its pool segmentation and reporting mechanisms, and has finished back testing in preparation for adoption of the new methodology. While the committee and management expect that implementation of ASU No. 2016-13 will increase the balance of the allowance for loan losses, they continue to analyze modeling after studying the impacts that the most recent economic conditions presented due to the pandemic. As they adjust and finalize appropriate modeling, they are continuing to evaluate the modeling and its potential impact on LCNB's results of consolidated operations and financial position. The consolidated financial statement impact of this new standard cannot be reasonably estimated at this time; however, it is anticipated during 2022 that modeling adjustments should be complete after finalizing review of prepayment, curtailment, and forecasting assessments.

ASU No. 2022-02, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures"
ASU No. 2022-02 was issued in March 2022 and, once effective, will eliminate the accounting guidance on TDRs for creditors who have adopted ASU No. 2016-13 and provides for enhanced disclosures for certain modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties. The update also amends the guidance on vintage disclosures for public business entities, as defined, to require the disclosure of current-period gross charge-offs by year of origination. For entities that have adopted ASU No. 2016-13, the update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For entities that have not yet adopted ASU No. 2016-13, this update needs to be adopted at the same time that ASU No. 2016-13 is adopted. Early adoption is permitted if an entity has already adopted ASU No. 2016-13.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
Coronavirus Update/Status

The COVID-19 pandemic has continued to disrupt the global economy and the lives of individuals throughout the world. Governments, businesses, and the public have taken and are taking actions to contain the spread of COVID-19 and to mitigate its effects. While the effects of COVID-19 are not fully known, the pandemic and related efforts to contain it have disrupted economic activity, adversely affected the functioning of financial markets, impacted interest rates, increased economic and market uncertainty, and disrupted trade and supply chains. While vaccination efforts continue, the future affects from the pandemic, including the potential scope of recovery, are not fully known.

LCNB participated in the CARES Act PPP that provided government guaranteed and potentially forgivable loans to applicants. The PPP was implemented by the SBA with support from the Department of the Treasury and provided small businesses with funds to pay up to eight or twenty-four weeks, depending on the date of the loan, of payroll costs including benefits. Funds could also be used to pay interest on mortgages, rent, utilities, covered operations expenditures, covered property damage costs, covered supplier costs, and covered worker protection expenditures. Outstanding PPP loans at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 totaled $1,415,000 and $6,935,000, respectively, and unrecognized fees at those dates totaled $66,000 and $272,000, respectively.

LCNB continues to closely monitor the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on its business, customers, employees, vendors, and service providers and expects to make future changes to respond to the pandemic as this situation continues to evolve.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Allowance for Loan LossesCredit Losses..  The allowance foris maintained at a level LCNB management believes is adequate to absorb estimated credit losses identified and inherent in the loan lossesportfolio. The allowance is established through a provision for loancredit losses charged to expense.  Loans are charged against the allowance for loancredit losses when management believes that the collectibilitycollectability 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 inherentestimated losses over the contractual terms in the loan portfolio based on evaluations of the collectibilitycollectability 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 and forecasted 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 consistsIn June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Measurement of specificCredit Losses on Financial Instruments. This ASU (as subsequently amended by ASU 2018-19) significantly changed how entities measure credit losses for most financial assets and general components.  The specific component typically relates to loanscertain other instruments that are classifiednot measured at fair value through net income. This standard replaced the “incurred loss” approach with an “expected loss” model. Referred to as 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, which include trends in underperforming loans, trends in the volume and terms of loans, economic trends and conditions, concentrations of credit, trends in the quality of loans, and borrower financial statement exceptions.

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.

Acquired Credit Impaired Loans. LCNB accounts for acquisitions using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires thatexpected credit loss (“CECL”) model, this standard applies to financial assets acquiredsubject to credit losses and liabilities assumed be measured at their fair values atamortized cost and certain off-balance sheet credit exposures. The standard also expanded disclosure requirements regarding an entity’s assumptions, models, and methods for estimating the acquisition date. Acquired loans are reviewedallowance. In addition, entities need to determine if there is evidencedisclose the amortized cost balance for each class of deterioration infinancial asset by credit quality since inception and if it is probable that LCNB will be unable to collect all amounts due underindicator, disaggregated by the contractual loan agreements. The analysis includes expected prepayments and estimated cash flows including principal and interest payments at the dateyear of acquisition. The amount in excess of the estimated future cash flows is not accreted into earnings. The amount in excess of the estimated future cash flows over the book value of the loan is accreted into interest income over the remaining life of the loan (accretable yield). LCNB records these loans on the acquisition date at their fair values. Thus, an allowance for estimated future losses is not established on the acquisition date. Subsequent to the date of acquisition, expected future cash flows on loans acquired are updated and any losses or reductions in estimated cash flows which arise subsequent to the date of acquisition are reflected as a charge through the provision for loan losses. An increase in the expected cash flows adjusts the level of the accretable yield recognized on a prospective basis over the remaining life of the loan. Due to the number, size, and complexity of loans within the acquired loan portfolio, there is always a possibility of inherent undetected losses.

LCNB CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIESadopted CECL effective January 1, 2023 using the modified retrospective method for all financial assets measured at amortized cost and off-balance sheet credit exposures. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2023 are presented under CECL while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with the incurred loss accounting standards. The transition adjustment of the CECL adoption included a decrease in the allowance of $0.4 million, and a $0.3 million increase to the retained earnings account to reflect the cumulative effect of adopting CECL on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, with the $0.1 million tax impact portion being recorded as part of the deferred tax asset in other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Item 2. Management's DiscussionSee Note 1- Basis of Presentation in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further detailed descriptions of LCNB's estimation process and Analysis of Financial Conditionmethodology related to the allowance. See also Note 3 – Loans in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information regarding LCNB's loan portfolio and Results of Operations (continued)allowance.

Accounting for Intangibles. LCNB’s intangible assets at March 31, 2022 are composed primarily of goodwill and core deposit intangibles related to acquisitions of other financial institutions. It also includes mortgage servicing rights recorded from sales of mortgage loans to the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation and mortgage servicing rights acquired through the acquisition of Eaton National Bank & Trust Co. and Columbus First Bancorp, Inc. CFB.

Goodwill is not subject to amortization, but is reviewed annually for impairment. A review for impairment or soonermay be conducted more frequently than annually if circumstances indicate a possible impairment. Impairment indicators that may be considered include the condition of the economy and banking industry; estimated future cash flows; government intervention and regulatory updates; the impact of recent events to financial performance and cost factors of the reporting unit; performance of LCNB’s stock; and other relevant events. These and other factors could lead to a conclusion that goodwill is impaired, which would require LCNB to write off the difference between the estimated fair value of the Company and the carrying value.

Core deposit intangibles acquired from business combinations are beinginitially measured at their estimated fair values and are then amortized on a straight linestraight-line basis over their respective estimated weighted averageuseful lives. Management evaluates whether events or circumstances have occurred that indicate the remaining useful life or carrying value of the amortizing intangible should be revised.

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.

Fair Value Accounting for Debt Securities. Debt securities classified as available-for-sale are carried at estimated fair value. Unrealized gains and losses, net of taxes, are reported as accumulated other comprehensive income or loss in shareholders' equity. Fair value is estimated using market quotations for U.S. Treasury investments. Fair value for the majority of the remaining available-for-sale securities is estimated using the discounted cash flow method for each security with discount rates based on rates observed in the market.

Results of Operations

Net income for the three months ended March 31, 20222023 was $4,523,000$4.2 million (total basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.38). This compares$0.37), compared to net income of $5,240,000$4.5 million (total basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.41)$0.38) for the same three monththree-month period in 2021.2022.

Net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 20222023 was $14,223,000,$13.9 million, compared to $14,372,000$14.2 million for the same period in 2021.2022. The decrease in net interest income was primarily due to a decreasehigher interest expense associated with the rapid year-over-year increase in the average rate earned onEffective Federal Funds Rate. LCNB's tax equivalent net interest margin for the loan portfolio, partially offset by an increase in average loan and taxable debt security balances. A decrease in fees recognized from PPP loans contributedfirst quarter of 2023 was 3.28%, compared to 3.35% for the decrease in average loan rates.same period last year.

An increase in the provision for loan losses negatively affected earnings during the 2022 period. LCNB recorded a recovery of credit losses of $57,000 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023. This compared to a provision for credit losses of $49,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to a credit of $52,000 for the same three monththree-month period in 2021.2022.

Non-interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was $3,550,000. This compares to $3,465,000$3.6 million for the same period in 2021. The increase was primarily due to increases in fiduciaryboth periods. Fiduciary income and service charges and fees on deposit accounts andincreased during 2023, partially offset by decreased gains from sales of loans. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in other operating income, primarily due to a decrease in market values for LCNB's equity investments portfolio.

Non-interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 20222023 was $12,250,000,$12.5 million, compared to $11,492,000$12.2 million for the same three monththree-month period in 2021. The increase was2022. Other non-interest expense increased primarily due to a an increase inincreased salaries and employee benefits.benefits, occupancy expenses, and FDIC insurance premiums. These higher costs were partially offset by decreases in equipment expenses, state financial institutions tax expense, and marketing expenses.

The $423,000 decrease$2,793,000 increase in total interest income was due primarily to a $749,000 decrease$2,357,000 increase in loan interest income which was partially offset byand a $377,000$248,000 increase in interest income from taxable debt securities. The decreaseincrease in loan interest income was primarily due to a 43net 65 basis point (a basis point equals 0.01%) decreaseincrease in the average rate earned on loans, partially offset by a $63.1 million increase in the average balance of LCNB's loan portfolio. Loan interest income for the first quarter 2022 included $248,000 of PPP loan fees recognized, as compared to $523,000 of PPP fees recognized during the first quarter 2021. The increase in interest income from taxable debt securities was due to an $86.5 million increase in average securities and to an 11a 41 basis point increase in the average rate earned on these securities.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
Increases in market rates during 2022 and 2023 were primarily caused by increases in the Targeted Federal Funds rate by the FOMC. The $264,000 decrease in total interest expense was due to a $303,000 decrease in interest expense for IRATargeted Federal Funds rate increased by 425 basis points during 2022 and time certificates and a $60,000 decrease in interest expense for long-term debt, partially offset by an $85,000 increase in interest expense for short-term borrowings. Interest expense for IRA and time certificates decreased due to a 34additional 50 basis point decrease inpoints during the average rate paid for these deposits and to an $44.8 million decrease in the average balancefirst quarter of these deposits. Management believes the decrease reflects customer preferences for liquidity during uncertain economic periods. Balances in demand deposits, NOW and money fund deposits, and savings deposits have grown, while balances in IRA and time deposits have decreased. Interest expense for long-term debt decreased due to a $9.7 million decrease in average debt outstanding, slightly offset by a 24 basis point increase in the average rate paid. Interest expense for short-term borrowings increased primarily because of a $12.2 million increase in average borrowings outstanding.2023.

Provision and Allowance For LoanCredit 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 atLCNB recorded a level considered appropriate in relation to the risk of losses inherent in the portfolio. For analysis purposes, the loan portfolio is separated into pools of similar loans. These pools include commercial & industrial loans, owner occupied commercial real estate loans, non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans, real estate loans secured by farms, real estate loans secured by multi-family dwellings, residential real estate loans secured by senior liens on 1-4 family dwellings, residential real estate loans secured by junior liens on 1-4 family dwellings, home equity linerecovery of credit loans, consumer loans, loans for agricultural purposes not secured by real estate, construction loans secured by 1-4 family dwellings, construction loans secured by other real estate, and several smaller classifications. Within each poollosses of loans, LCNB examines a variety of factors to determine the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, including historic charge-off percentages, overall pool quality, a review of specific problem loans, current economic trends and conditions that may affect borrowers' ability to pay, and the nature, volume, and consistency of the loan pool.

The provision for loan losses$57,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $49,000,2023, compared to a net provision for credit losses of $52,000$49,000 for the samethree months ended March 31, 2022. The recovery for the first three months in 2023 included a recovery of credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures of $89,000, partially offset by a provision for credit losses on loans of $32,000. The provision for credit losses on loans includes an increase in the allowance for individually evaluated loans because of loans that were evaluated for the first time. In the pooled loan categories, there was a provision for commercial and industrial loans, largely offset by recoveries in most of the other pool categories. The allowance for commercial and industrial loans increased largely due to an increase in outstanding balances and to an increase in the qualitative part of the loss rate. The other loan categories had recoveries primarily due to decreases in loss rates, reflecting a change in the forecasted period from one quarter with a one quarter reversion to the long-term historical average to a forecasted period of one quarter with a two quarter reversion period. Off-balance sheet credit exposures had a recovery due to a decrease in 2021. commitments outstanding and to the decrease in the loss rate.

Calculating an appropriate level for the allowance and provision for loancredit losses involves a high degree of management judgment and is, by its nature, imprecise. Revisions may be necessary as more information becomes available.

The increases in fair value are due to the opening of new Wealth Management customer accounts and to an increase in the market values of managed assets.
Service charges and fees on deposit accounts increased primarily due to an increase in the volume of fees recognized in relation to the ICS deposit program and to an increase in fees received from debit card usage and overdraft fees collected. The ICS deposit program is a service offered by LCNB in partnership with IntraFi. When a depositor submits funds in an amount greater than FDIC insurance limits and if this program is selected, the funds will be divided into amounts within FDIC limits and distributed to other banks within the IntraFi network.
Gains from sales of loans increaseddecreased primarily due to a higherlower volume of residential real estate loan sales.loans sold during the first quarter of 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022.

Other operating income decreased primarily due to a decrease in unrealized net gains or losses recognized on equity securities.

Regulatory Capital

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. LCNB’s and the Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

In addition to the minimum capital requirements, a financial institution needs to maintain a Capital Conservation Buffer composed of Common Equity Tier 1 Capital of at least 2.5% above its minimum risk-weighted capital requirements to avoid limitations on its ability to make capital distributions, including dividend payments to shareholders and certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers. A financial institution with a buffer below 2.5% is subject to increasingly stringent limitations on capital distributions as the buffer approaches zero.

For various regulatory purposes, financial institutions are classified into categories based upon capital adequacy:
 Minimum RequirementMinimum Requirement with Capital Conservation BufferTo Be Considered
Well-Capitalized
Ratio of Common Equity Tier 1 Capital to risk-weighted assets4.5 %7.0 %6.5 %
Ratio of Tier 1 Capital to risk-weighted assets6.0 %8.5 %8.0 %
Ratio of Total Capital (Tier 1 Capital plus Tier 2 Capital) to risk-weighted assets8.0 %10.5 %10.0 %
Leverage Ratio (Tier 1 Capital to adjusted quarterly average total assets)4.0 %N/A5.0 %

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.

Federal banking regulatory agencies allow an optional phase-in period of three years for banks to absorb the impact to regulatory capital of implementing CECL. LCNB has elected not to exercise this option and the full impact of adopting ASU No. 2016-13 is included in regulatory capital as of March 31, 2023.

On September 17, 2019, the FDIC finalizedQualifications for community banking organizations to use a rule that introduced an optional simplified measure of capital adequacy for qualifying community banking organizations, as required by the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief and Consumer Protection Act. The simplified rule was designed to reduce burden by removing the requirements for calculating and reporting risk-based capital ratios for qualifying community banking organizations that opt into the framework. Its use was permitted beginning with the March 31, 2020 Call Report. Qualifications to use the simplified approach include having a tier 1 leverage ratio of greater than 9%, less than $10 billion in total consolidated assets, and limited amounts of off-balance-sheet exposures and trading assets and liabilities. A qualifying community banking organization that opts into the Community Bank Leverage Ratio framework and meets all requirements under the framework will be considered to have met the well-capitalized ratio requirements under the Prompt Corrective Action regulations and will not be required to report or calculate risk-based capital. LCNB qualifies to use the simplified measure, but did not opt in for the March 31, 20222023 regulatory capital calculations.

Liquidity

LCNB depends on dividends from the Bank 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 for the current year plus retained net income for the previous two years.  Prior approval from the OCC, the Bank's primary regulator, is 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.  The Bank is not aware of any reasons why it would not receive such approval, if required.

Effective liquidity management ensures that cash is available to meet the cash flow needs of borrowers and depositors, as well as meeting LCNB's operating cash needs. Primary funding sources include customer deposits with the Bank, short-term and long-term borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank, short-term line of credit arrangements with two correspondent banks, and interest and repayments received from LCNB's loan and investment portfolios.

Total remaining borrowing capacity with the Federal Home Loan Bank at March 31, 20222023 was approximately $225.5$127.9 million. In addition, additionalAdditional borrowings of approximately $50.3$33.5 million were available through the line of credit arrangements with correspondent banks at March 31, 2022.2023.

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.  LCNB experienced no liquidity or operational problems as a result of current liquidity levels.

Item 3.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.  IRSA is used to estimate the effect on net interest income ("NII") during a one-year period of instantaneous and sustained movements in interest rates, also called interest rate shocks, of 100, 200, 300, and 400300 basis points.  Management considers the results of any significant downward scenarios of more than 100 basis points to not be meaningful in the current interest rate environment.  The base projection uses a current interest rate scenario.  As shown below, the March 31, 20222023 IRSA indicates that an increase in interest rates of 200or a 100 basis points or morepoint decrease will have a positivenegative effect on NII and a 100 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates of 200 or 300 basis points will have a negativepositive effect on NII. The changes in NII for all rate assumptions are within LCNB's acceptable ranges.

IRSA shows the effect on NII 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.  As shown below, the March 31, 20222023 EVE analysis indicates that an increase in interest rates of 200 or 300 basis points will have a negative effect on the EVE and aan increase in interest rates of 100 basis pointpoints or a decrease in interest rates will have a positive effect on the EVE.  The changes in the EVE for all upward rate assumptions are within LCNB's acceptable ranges. The change in EVEranges except for the 100down 200 basis point downwardpoints scenario, which is slightly outsideabove LCNB's acceptable range of 20%. for that scenario.

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 incomeNII 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.
