Exhibit 99.1

Press Release
April 20, 2015

LCNB CORP. REPORTS FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR
THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2015

LCNB Corp. (LCNB) today announced net income of $2,834,000 (total basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.30) for the three months ended March 31, 2015.  This compares to net income of $1,323,000 (total basic and diluted earnings per common share of $0.14) for the same three-month period in 2014.  Results for 2014 were significantly affected by the completion of the acquisition of Eaton National Bank & Trust Co. on January 24, 2014.

Commenting on the financial results, LCNB CEO Steve Wilson said, "We are pleased to report solid financial results for the first quarter of 2015. Growth in the loan portfolio and in deposits has contributed to increased net interest income and a higher net interest margin. Credit quality remains stable and our capital ratios remain strong. In addition, we look forward to our pending partnership with BNB Bancorp, Inc. and its subsidiary Brookville National Bank of Brookville, Ohio, which we anticipate closing during the second quarter 2015. This acquisition will strengthen our presence in the desirable Montgomery County market and open up new markets as we provide Brookville's customers with a broader array of banking services."

Net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2015 increased $965,000 from the comparative period in 2014 due primarily to an increase in the volume of average interest earning assets, primarily loans, and to an increase in the net interest margin.

The provision for loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $12,000 less than the comparable period in 2014.  Net loan charge-offs for for the first quarter of 2015 and 2014 totaled $352,000 and $300,000, respectively.  Non-accrual loans and loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest totaled $4,327,000 or 0.62% of total loans at March 31, 2015, compared to $5,802,000 or 0.83% of total loans at December 31, 2014.  Other real estate owned (which includes property acquired through foreclosure or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure) totaled $1,364,000 and $1,370,000 at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

Non-interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $229,000 greater than the comparable period in 2014 primarily due to increases in trust income and gains from sales of investment securities. The increase in trust income was due to growth in the fair value of assets serviced. The increase in gains from sales of investment securities was due to a higher volume of sales during the 2015 period.

Non-interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $1,023,000 less than the comparable periods in 2014 primarily due to the absence of an acquisition during the first quarter 2015. Merger-related expense for 2015 was $1,222,000 less than for the same period in 2014. This decrease was partially offset by a $372,000 increase in salaries and employee benefits primarily due to routine salary and wage increases, an increase in the number of employees, and to increased retirement plan expenses.
