NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
In management’s opinion, the financial information, which is unaudited, reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial information as of and for the six month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CB Financial Corporation (the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Cornerstone Bank. Operating results for the six month period ended June 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2007.
In June 2005, the shareholders of Cornerstone Bank (the “Bank”) approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization pursuant to which the Bank became a wholly owned banking subsidiary of CB Financial Corporation, a North Carolina corporation formed as a holding company for the Bank. At the closing of the holding company reorganization (the “Reorganization”), one share of CB Financial Corporation's no par value common stock was exchanged for each of the outstanding shares of Cornerstone Bank's $5.00 par value common stock. The Company currently has no operations and conducts no business on its own other than owning the Bank and the common shares of CB Financial Capital Trust I, a Connecticut statutory trust to facilitate the issuance of $5 million of trust preferred securities.
The organization and business of Cornerstone Bank, accounting policies followed by the Bank and other information are contained in the notes to the consolidated financial statements filed as part of the Company’s 2006 annual report on Form 10-KSB. This quarterly report should be read in conjunction with such annual report.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents are defined as those amounts included in the balance sheet captions “Cash and due from banks,” “Interest-earning deposits in banks” and “Federal funds sold.”
NOTE B - STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment,” (“SFAS No. 123R”) which was issued by the FASB in December 2004. SFAS No. 123R revised SFAS No. 123 “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation,” and supersedes APB No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” (APB No. 25) and its related interpretations. SFAS No. 123R requires recognition of the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments in the financial statements over the period the employee is required to perform the services in exchange for the award (presumptively the vesting period). SFAS No. 123R also requires measurement of the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award based on the grant-date fair value of the award. SFAS No. 123R also amends SFAS No. 95 “Statement of Cash Flows,” to require that excess tax benefits be reported as financing cash inflows, rather than as a reduction of taxes paid, which is included within operating cash flows.
The Company adopted SFAS No. 123R using the modified prospective application as permitted under SFAS No. 123R. Under this application, the Company is required to record compensation expense for all awards granted after the date of adoption and for the unvested portion of previously granted awards that remain outstanding at the date of adoption. Prior to adoption of SFAS No. 123R, the Company used the intrinsic value method as prescribed by APB No. 28 and thus recognized no compensation expense for options granted with exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the grant date.
CB FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
The Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Purchase Plan”) is a voluntary plan that enables full-time employees of the Bank to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock based on their continued service over a specified period of time. The Purchase Plan is administered by a committee of the Board of Directors, which has a broad discretionary authority to administer the Purchase Plan. The Company’s Board of Directors may amend or terminate the Purchase Plan any time. The Purchase Plan is intend to be qualified as an employee stock purchase plan under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
Once a year, participants in the Purchase Plan purchase the Company’s common stock at the lesser of : (a) eighty-five percent (85%) of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant, or (b) eighty-five percent (85) of the fair market value of the common stock on the purchase date. Participants are permitted to purchase shares under the Purchase Plan up to a maximum purchase amount not to exceed $25,000 in fair market value. Options granted each year to purchase shares under the Purchase Plan expire at the end of each calendar year.
The fair value of each option grant under the Purchase Plan was estimated on the date of grant using the same option valuation model used for options granted under the Plans and assumes that service period requirements will be achieved. If such requirements are not met, no compensation cost is recognized and any recognized compensation is reversed. For options granted under the Purchase Plan during the six months ended June 30, 2007, we have used the following assumptions in our determination of fair value: expected-volatility of 9.10%; expected dividends of zero, and risk free interest rate of 4.38%. For options granted under the Purchase Plan during the six months ended June 30, 2006, we have used the following assumptions in our determination of fair value: expected-volatility of 5.21%; expected dividends of zero, and risk free interest rate of 4.38%. The expected term for options granted under the Purchase Plan is one year at the grant date and .5 years at June 30, 2007.
On January 1, 2007, the Company granted 8,000 options which are scheduled to vest on December 31, 2007. The aggregate intrinsic value of these options totaled approximately $21,000 as of the grant date and $39,000 as of June 30, 2007, respectively.
The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted under the Purchase Plan during the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $3.44. No options were exercised under the Purchase Plan during the six months ended June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006. As of June 30, 2007, there was approximately $14,000 of unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Purchase Plan; that cost is expected to be recognized over the remaining quarters of 2007. During the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, we recorded $14,000 and zero respectively in stock based compensation expense related to this plan.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Management’s discussion and analysis is intended to assist readers in the understanding and evaluation of the financial condition and results of operations of CB Financial Corporation and its wholly owned bank subsidiary, Cornerstone Bank (the “Company”). This quarterly report on Form 10-QSB to shareholders may contain certain forward-looking statements consisting of estimates with respect to the financial condition, results of operations and other business of the Company that are subject to various factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those estimates. Factors which could influence the estimates include changes in national, regional and local market conditions, legislative and regulatory conditions, and the interest rate environment.
FINANCIAL CONDITION AT

Total assets at June 30, 2007 were $183.8 million compared with $171.2 million at December 31, 2006, an increase of $12.6 million, or 7.4%. The increase in assets was mainly comprised of a $10.9 million, or 9.1%, increase in loans during the period to $129.8 million as of June 30, 2007. In addition, the Company purchased bank owned life insurance (“BOLI”) in the amount of $3.0 million. The increase in loans and BOLI was funded by an 8.4%, or $12.4 million, increase in deposits and a reduction in liquid investments of $1.6 million. Liquid investments totaled $43.6 million, or 23.7% of assets, at June 30, 2007 and consists of cash and due from banks, interest-earning deposits in other banks, federal funds sold, time deposits and investment securities available for sale.
Total stockholders’ equity increased from $11.7 million at December 31, 2006 to $12.0 million at June 30, 2007. The increase was the result of retention of $592,000 in earnings, net of $350,000 in other comprehensive loss related to the net decrease in the fair value of investment securities available for sale. At June 30, 2007, both the Bank and Company’s capital exceeded the levels that are deemed to be “well-capitalized” under applicable regulatory capital requirements.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED
June 30, 2007 and 2006
Overview. Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 was $285,000, or $.25 per diluted share compared to $223,000, or $.20 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2006. The increase in earnings was primarily attributable to a reduction in the provision for loan losses. The provision for loan losses declined by $115,000, to $217,000 for the second quarter of 2007, versus $332,000 for the comparable quarter in 2006.
Other variances are discussed below.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased by $41,000, or 2.8%, from $1.45 million for the 2006 quarter to $1.49 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007. Total interest income, which increased by $449,000, or 16.3%, benefited from a higher volume of earning assets and a higher yield earned on those assets. Average earning assets and the yield earned on average assets increased by $21.0 million and 19 basis points, respectively, from the quarter ended June 30, 2006 to the quarter ended June 30, 2007. Total interest expense increased by $408,000, or 31.1%, due to the higher level of average interest-bearing liabilities used to support asset growth and an approximate 55 basis points increase in cost from the second quarter of 2006 to the second quarter of 2007.
Our balance sheet is asset sensitive and benefited from several prime rate increases through June 30, 2006. Since that time, the prime rate has remained at 8.25% and we have experienced some net interest margin compression.
Provision for Loan Losses. The Bank recorded a $217,000 provision for loan losses, after $26,000 in net charge-offs in the second quarter of 2007, compared to the $332,000 provision made in the same quarter of 2006 after net charge-offs of $419,000. Provisions for loan losses are charged to income to bring the allowance for loan losses to a level deemed appropriate by management. In evaluating the allowance for loan losses, management considers factors that include an analysis of the risk characteristics of various classifications of loans, previous loan loss experience, specific loans which have loan loss potential, delinquency trends, estimated fair values of underlying collateral, current economic conditions, the views of the Bank’s regulators (who have the authority to require additional reserves), and geographic and industry loan concentrations. In the second quarter of 2006 the provision for loan losses was made principally in response to risk changes in the portfolio and charge-offs. The allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2007 was $2,044,000, representing 1.55% of total loans outstanding, up from $1,587,000, 1.37% of total loans outstanding at June 30, 2006 due to reclassification of risk grade. Nonperforming loans totaled $1,312,000 and $1,492,000 at June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006, respectively.
Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income increased $53,000, or 20.9%, to $306,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2007, as compared with $253,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2006. Service charges on deposit accounts declined slightly as a result of reduced fees earned on insufficient fund charges, and totaled $132,000 for second quarter of 2007 as compared with $139,000 for the second quarter of 2006. Through associations with certain mortgage lending companies, the Bank originates a full range of competitively priced residential and commercial long-term mortgages, at both fixed and variable rates, earning fees for loans originated. The Bank had income from mortgage operations of $72,000 in the second quarter of 2007, a decrease of $24,000 from the $96,000 earned during the second quarter of 2006. Other income totaled $102,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2007, an increase of $84,000 from $18,000 earned during the quarter ended June 30, 2006. Earnings from BOLI represented $41,000 of the total for the 2007 quarter, up $28,000 from the 2006 second quarter as a result of the $3 million purchase of BOLI discussed above. The other major difference in other income resulted from a $49,000 loss on the sale of real estate owned recorded during the second quarter of 2006.
Non-Interest Expenses. Non-interest expenses totaled $1,187,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007, an increase or $136,000, or 12.9%, from total non-interest expenses of $1,051,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2006. This increase is mainly attributable to increased compensation and benefits associated with the increase in the number of employees, professional fees, and an increase of $24,000 in FDIC insurance.
Income Taxes. The Company provided $103,000 for income taxes during the three months ended
June 30, 2007. The Company had $92,000 in income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2006. The decrease in the effective tax rate from 29.2% to 26.6% is primarily attributable to the continued investment in non-taxable assets, such as municipal securities and BOLI.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED
June 30, 2007 and 2006
Net Income. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $592,000, or $.53 per diluted share compared to $458,000, or $.42 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The annualized return on average assets was 0.67% and 0.59% for the two periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The annualized return on average equity for the current period was 9.89% compared to 8.63% for the prior period. The increase in earnings and returns on assets and equity was primarily attributable to a reduction in the provision for loan losses. The provision for loan losses declined by $323,000 to $404,000 for the first half of 2007 versus $727,000 for the comparable period in 2006.
Other variances are discussed below.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased to $2,981,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 2007, a $123,000 or 4.3% increase from the $2,858,000 earned in first six months of 2006. Total interest income, which increased by $951,000, or 17.7%, benefited from a higher volume of earning assets and a higher yield earned on those assets. Average earning assets and the yield earned on average assets increased by $18.1 million and 39 basis points, respectively, from the six months ended June 30, 2006 to the six months ended June 30, 2007. Total interest expense increased by $828,000, or 33.1%, due to the higher level of average interest-bearing liabilities used to support asset growth and an approximate 61 basis points increase in cost from the first half of 2006 to the first half of 2007.
Our balance sheet is asset sensitive and benefited from several prime rate increases through June 30, 2006. Since that time, the prime rate has remained at 8.25% and we have experienced some net interest margin compression.
Provision for Loan Losses. The Bank recorded a $404,000 provision for loan losses, after $47,000 in net charge-offs in the first half of 2007, compared to the $727,000 provision made in the same half of 2006 after net charge-offs of $915,000. Provisions for loan losses are charged to income to bring the allowance for loan losses to a level deemed appropriate by management. In evaluating the allowance for loan losses, management considers factors that include an analysis of the risk characteristics of various classifications of loans, previous loan loss experience, specific loans which have loan loss potential, delinquency trends, estimated fair values of underlying collateral, current economic conditions, the views of the Bank’s regulators (who have the authority to require additional reserves), and geographic and industry loan concentrations.

Nonperforming loans totaled $1,312,000 and $1,492,000 at June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006, respectively.
Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income increased $77,000, or 15.8%, to 564,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007, as compared with $487,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Service charges on deposit accounts increased slightly and totaled $270,000 for first half of 2007 as compared with $267,000 for the first half of 2006. Through associations with certain mortgage lending companies, the Bank originates a full range of competitively priced residential and commercial long-term mortgages, at both fixed and variable rates, earning fees for loans originated. The Bank had income from mortgage operations of $132,000 in the first half of 2007, a decrease of $31,000 from the $163,000 earned during the first half of 2006. Other income totaled $162,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007, an increase of $105,000 from $57,000 earned during the six months ended June 30, 2006. Earnings from BOLI represented $27,000 of the total for the 2007 period, up $27,000 from the 2006 first half as a result of the $3 million purchase of BOLI discussed above. The other major difference in other income resulted from a $49,000 loss on the sale of real estate owned recorded during the first half of 2006.
Non-Interest Expenses. Non-interest expenses totaled $2,304,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007, an increase or $351,000, or 18.0%, from total non-interest expenses of $1,953,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006. This increase is mainly attributable to increased compensation and benefits associated with the increase in the number of employees, professional fees, and an increase of $24,000 in FDIC insurance.
Income Taxes. The Company provided $245,000 for income taxes during the six months ended
June 30, 2007. The Company had $207,000 in income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The decrease in the effective tax rate from 31.1% to 29.2% is primarily attributable to the continued investment in non-taxable assets, such as municipal securities and BOLI.
LIQUIDITY
Our liquidity is a measure of our ability to fund loans, withdrawals and maturities of deposits, and other cash outflows in a cost effective manner. Our principal sources of liquidity are deposits, scheduled payments and prepayments of loan principal, maturities of investment securities, access to liquid deposits, and funds provided by operations. While scheduled loan payments and maturing investments are relatively predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition.
Liquid assets (consisting of cash and due from banks, interest-earning deposit with other banks, federal funds sold and investment securities classified as available for sale) comprised 23.7% of our total assets at June 30, 2007. We have traditionally been a net seller of federal funds, as our liquidity has exceeded our need to fund new loan demand. Should the need arise, we would have the capability to sell securities classified as available for sale or to borrow funds as necessary. We have established credit lines with other financial institutions to purchase up to $15.2 million in federal funds. As a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (“FHLB of Atlanta”) we may obtain longer-term advances up to 10% of our assets. As of June 30, 2007, we had $6.3 million in advances outstanding with the FHLB of Atlanta. Management believes that our current sources of funds provide adequate liquidity for our current cash flow needs.
CAPITAL
A significant measure of the strength of a financial institution is its capital base. Our federal regulators have classified and defined capital into the following components: (1) Tier I capital, which includes common stockholders’ equity and qualifying preferred equity, and (2) Tier II capital, which includes a portion of the allowance for loan losses, certain qualifying long-term debt and preferred stock which does not qualify as Tier I capital. Minimum capital levels are regulated by risk-based capital adequacy guidelines, which require a financial institution to maintain capital as a percent of its assets and certain off-balance sheet items adjusted for predefined credit risk factors (risk-adjusted assets). A financial institution is required to maintain, at a minimum, Tier I capital as a percentage of risk-adjusted assets of 4.0% and combined Tier I and Tier II capital as a percentage of risk-adjusted assets of 8.0%. In addition to the risk-based guidelines, federal regulations require that we maintain a minimum leverage
ratio (Tier I capital as a percentage of tangible assets) of 4.0%. The Bank had a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 9.63% as of June 30, 2007, and at that date exceeded the regulatory capital levels above which an institution is considered to be “well capitalized.” Management expects that the Bank will remain “well-capitalized” for regulatory purposes, although there can be no assurance that additional capital will not be required in the near future due to greater-than-expected growth, or otherwise.
