CERTIFICATION





I,
      Randolph F. Williams, certify that:





1.  I
      have
      reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-Q of LSB Financial Corp. (the
“Registrant”);





2.  Based
      on
      my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement of a material
      fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made,
      in
      light of the circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading
      with respect to the period covered by this report;





3.  Based
      on
      my knowledge, the consolidated financial statements, and other financial
      information included in this report, fairly present in all material respects
      the
      consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the
      Registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this report;





4.  The
      Registrant’s other certifying officer and I are responsible for establishing and
      maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act
      Rules
      13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the Registrant and have:





a)  designed
      such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure controls
      and
      procedures to be designed under our supervision, to ensure that material
      information relating to the Registrant, including its consolidated subsidiaries,
      is made known to us by others within those entities, particularly during the
      period in which this report is being prepared;





b)  evaluated
      the effectiveness of the Registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures and
      presented in this report our conclusions about the effectiveness of the
      disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this
      report based on such evaluation; and





c)  disclosed
      in this report any changes in the Registrant’s internal control over financial
      reporting that occurred during the Registrant’s most recent fiscal quarter that
      has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the
      Registrant’s internal control over financial reporting;





5.  The
      Registrant’s other certifying officer and I have disclosed, based on our most
      recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, to the
      Registrant’s auditors and the audit committee of Registrant’s board of directors
      (or persons performing the equivalent functions):





a)  all
      significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation
      of
      internal control over financial reporting which are reasonably likely to
      adversely affect the Registrant’s ability to record, process, summarize and
      report financial information; and





b)  any
      fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees
      who
      have a significant role in the Registrant’s internal control over financial
      reporting.
