At September 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995 loans on which no interest was being accrued totalled approximately $406 and $479, respectively; foreclosed real estate totalled $0 and $0, respectively; and loans 90 days past due and still accruing totalled $47 and $87, respectively. 8 NOTE 4 - LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES, continued OTHER INTEREST BEARING ASSETS The Bank maintains an investment in an executive life insurance program through Confederation Life Insurance and Annuity Company, Inc. During 1994 the Michigan Insurance Commission seized control of this United States Corporation due to a similar action by the Canadian regulatory authorities over the company's parent corporation, Confederation Life Insurance Company. Regulatory oversight began as concerns regarding investment losses of the parent corporation developed during 1993 and 1994. Management determined that any impairment of the approximate $2,100,000 cash surrender value of the policies is remote due to the financial stability of the U.S. subsidiary and no loss contingency has been provided. On October 23, 1996, a plan of Rehabilitation for Confederation Life Insurance Company (U.S.) has been confirmed by the Court. The plan provides for the assumption of company owned life insurance policies (COLI), such as the Bank's, to be assumed by Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Company. Under the agreement, holders of COLI Policies will have the option to receive a policy reinsured by Pacific Mutual which is expected to have the same account value and substantially the same contract terms as the original policy or to receive the liquidation or "opt-out" value of that policy. Given the facts and circumstances given above regarding the investment in an executive life insurance program and having read the related guidance in SFAS No. 5 and SAB Topic 5(Y) as it relates to the recovery of receivable balances, there continues to be no significant uncertainties regarding the recognition of a loss contingency. NOTE 5 - PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT Property at September 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995 is summarized as follows: September 30, December 31, 1996 1995 Land and buildings $ 8,357 $ 8,175 Furniture, fixtures and equipment 5,358 5,454 Construction in progress - - $ 13,715 $ 13,629 Less accumulated depreciation and amortization 6,769 6,463 $ 6,946 $ 7,166 Depreciation and amortization of bank premises and equipment charged to operating expense was $171 and $585 for the quarter ended and the nine month period ended September 30, 1996, respectively and $666 for the year ended December 31, 1995. 9 NOTE 6 - CERTIFICATES OF DEPOSIT IN EXCESS OF $100,000 At September 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, certificates of deposit of $100,000 or more included in time deposits totaled approximately $33,690 and $28,507 respectively. Interest expense on these deposits was approximately $432 and $1,199 for the quarter ended and the nine-month period ended September 30, 1996 and $1,182 for the year ended December 31, 1995. NOTE 7 - SECURITIES SOLD UNDER REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS At September 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, securities sold under repurchase agreements totaled approximately $33,396 and $36,935. U.S. Government securities with a book value of $46,204 ($45,875 market value) and $52,193 ($52,543 market value), respectively, are used as collateral for the agreements. The weighted-average interest rate of these agreements was 4.92 percent and 5.10 percent at September 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995. NOTE 8 - LINES OF CREDIT At September 30, 1996 the Bank had unused short-term lines of credit to purchase Federal Funds from unrelated banks totaling $17,000. These lines of credit are available on a one to seven day basis for general corporate purposes of the Bank. All of the lenders have reserved the right to withdraw these lines at their option. The Bank has a demand note through the U.S. Treasury, Tax and Loan system with the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond. The Bank may borrow up to $5,000 under the arrangement at a variable interest rate. The note is secured by U.S. Treasury Notes with a market value of $5,952 at September 30, 1996. The amount outstanding under the note totaled $2,911 and $766 at September 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, respectively. NOTE 9 - INCOME TAXES Income tax expense for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 and September 30, 1995 on pretax income of $1,832 and $1,551 totalled $611 and $486 respectively. Income tax expense for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1996 and September 30, 1995 on pretax income of $4,663 and $4,146 totalled $1,559 and $1,315 respectively. The provision for federal income taxes is calculated by applying the 34% statutory federal income tax rate and increasing or reducing this amount due to any tax-exempt interest, state bank tax (net of federal benefit), business credits, surtax exemption, tax preferences, alternative minimum tax calculations, or other factor. A summary of income tax components and a reconciliation of income taxes to the federal statutory rate is included in fiscal year-end reports. Effective January 1, 1992, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". SFAS 109 replaces SFAS 96 beginning in 1993, with early implementation permitted. The impact of the adoption of SFAS 109 is not considered to be material. 10 NOTE 10 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES From time to time the bank subsidiary is a party to various litigation, both as plaintiff and as defendant, arising from its normal operations. No material losses are anticipated in connection with any of these matters at September 30, 1996. Also, in the normal course of business, the bank subsidiary has outstanding commitments to extend credit and other contingent liabilities, which are not reflected in the accompanying financial statements. At September 30, 1996, commitments to extend credit totalled $13,210; financial standby letters of credit totalled $564; and performance standby letters of credit totalled $830. In the opinion of management, no material losses or liabilities are expected as a result of these transactions. NOTE 11 - EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN The Bank has a defined contribution pension plan covering all employees who have attained age twenty-one and have a minimum of one year of service. Upon ongoing approval of the Board of Directors, the Bank matches one-hundred percent of employee contributions up to one percent of employee salary deferred and fifty percent of employee contributions in excess of one percent and up to six percent of salary deferred. The Board of Directors may also make discretionary contributions to the Plan. For the three-month and nine month period ended September 30, 1996 and years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, $84, $250, $266, $295, and $273, respectively, was charged to operations under the plan. NOTE 12 - REGULATORY MATTERS The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory -and possibly additional discretionary - actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the financial statements. The regulations require the Bank to meet specific capital adequacy guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital classification is also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the maintenance of minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of Tier I capital to adjusted total assets (Leverage Capital ratio) and minimum ratios of Tier I and total capital to risk-weighted assets. To be considered adequately capitalized under the regulatory framework, the Bank must maintain minimum Tier I leverage, Tier I risk-based and total risked-based ratios as set forth in the table. The Bank's actual capital ratios are presented in the table below as of September 30, 1996: Conway National Bank Ratios Required Minimum Actual Tier I Leverage Capital 4.0% 9.5% Tier I Risk-based Capital 4.0% 18.0% Total Risk-based Capital 8.0% 19.2% 11 NOTE 13 - CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION Following is condensed financial information of CNB Corporation (parent company only): CONDENSED BALANCE SHEET SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 (Unaudited) ASSETS Cash $ 1,474 Investment in subsidiary 32,895 Fixed assets 245 Other assets 37 $ 34,651 LIABILITIES AND STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY Other liability $ 0 Stockholders' equity 34,651 $ 34,651 CONDENSED STATEMENT OF INCOME For the nine-month period ended September 30, 1996 (Unaudited) EQUITY IN NET INCOME OF SUBSIDIARY $ 3,131 OTHER INCOME 0 OTHER EXPENSES (27) Net Income $ 3,104 12 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Management's Discussion and Analysis is provided to afford a clearer understanding of the major elements of the corporation's results of operations, financial condition, liquidity,and capital resources. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the corporation's financial statements and notes thereto and other detailed information appearing elsewhere in this report. In addition, the results of operations for the interim periods shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the fiscal year. In the opinion of management, the information contained herein reflects all adjustments necessary to make the results of operations for the interim periods a fair statement of such operations. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES The Company maintains a conservative approach in determining the distribution of assets and liabilities. Loans, net of unearned income, have increased 16.4% from $150,313 at September 30, 1995 to $174,986 at September 30, 1996 and have increased as a percentage of total assets from 45.5% to 50.2% over the same period as moderate loan demand has been very strong in our market. Correspondingly, securities and federal funds sold have decreased as a percentage of total assets from 47.3% at September 30, 1995 to 42.5% at September 30, 1996. This level of investments and federal funds sold provides for a more than adequate supply of secondary liquidity. Management has sought to build the deposit base with stable, relatively non-interest-sensitive deposits by offering the small to medium deposit account holders a wide array of deposit instruments at competitive rates. Non-interest-bearing demand deposits increased as a percentage of total assets from 14.8% at September 30, 1995 to 16.0% at September 30, 1996. However, as more customers, both business and personal, are attracted to interest-bearing deposit accounts, we expect a decline in the percentage of demand deposits over the long-term. Interest-bearing deposits have increased from 61.4% of total assets at September 30, 1995 to 63.0% at September 30, 1996 while securities sold under agreement to repurchase have decreased from 12.4% to 9.6% over the same period. Some migration from term repurchase agreements to certificates of deposits occurred during 1996 due to lower FDIC premium levels. The following table sets forth the percentage relationship to total assets of significant component's of the corporation's balance sheet as of September 30, 1996 and 1995: September 30, Assets: 1996 1995 Earning assets: Loans, net of unearned income 50.2% 45.5% Investment securities 21.6 24.4 Securities Available for Sale 18.3 15.5 Federal funds sold and securities purchased under agreement to resell 2.6 7.4 Other earning assets - - Total earning assets 92.7 92.8 Other assets 7.3 7.2 Total assets 100.0% 100.0% Liabilities and stockholders' equity: Interest-bearing liabilities: Interest-bearing deposits 63.0% 61.4% Federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreement to repurchase 9.6 12.4 Other short-term borrowings .8 1.0 Obligations under mortgages and capital leases - - Total interest-bearing liabilities 73.4 74.8 Noninterest-bearing deposits 16.0 14.8 Other liabilities .7 .6 Stockholders' equity 9.9 9.8 Total liabilities and stockholders' equity 100.0% 100.0% 13 RESULTS OF OPERATION CNB Corporation experienced earnings for the three-month period ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 of $1,221 and $1,065, respectively, resulting in a return on average assets of 1.40% and 1.32% and a return on average stockholders' equity of 14.42% and 13.45%. CNB Corporation experienced earnings for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 of $3,104 and $2,831, respectively, resulting in a return on average assets of 1.21% and 1.21% and a return on average stockholders' equity of 12.34% and 12.49%. The earnings were primarily attributable to net interest margins in each period (see Net Income-Net Interest Income). Other factors include management's ongoing effort to maintain other income at adequate levels (see Net Income - Other Income) and to control other expenses (see Net Income - Other Expenses). This level of earnings, coupled with a conservative dividend policy, have supplied the necessary capital funds to support the growth in total assets. Total assets have increased $18,311 or 5.5% from $330,207 at September 30, 1995 to $348,518 at September 30, 1996. The following table sets forth the financial highlights for the three-month and nine-month periods ending September 30, 1996 and September 30, 1995: CNB Corporation CNB Corporation and Subsidiary FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS (All Dollar Amounts, Except Per Share Data, in Thousands) Three-Month Period Nine-Month Period Ended September 30, Ended September 30, Percent Percent Increase Increase 1996 1995 (Decrease) 1996 1995 (Decrease) Net interest income after provision for loan losses 3,522 3,136 12.3% 10,023 9,353 7.2% Income before income taxes 1,832 1,551 18.1 4,663 4,146 12.5 Net Income 1,221 1,065 14.6 3,104 2,831 9.6 Per Share 2.55 2.23 14.3 6.50 5.92 9.8 Cash dividends declared 0 0 - 0 0 - Per Share 0 0 - 0 0 - Total assets 348,518 330,207 5.5% 348,518 330,207 5.5% Total deposits 275,529 251,617 9.5 275,529 251,617 9.5 Loans, net of unearned income 174,986 150,313 16.4 174,986 150,313 16.4 Investment securities and securities available for sale 139,097 131,598 5.7 139,097 131,598 5.7 Stockholders' equity 34,651 32,446 6.8 34,651 32,446 6.8 Book value per share 72.57 67.97 6.8 72.57 67.97 6.8 Ratios (1): Annualized return on average total assets 1.40% 1.32% 6.1% 1.21% 1.21% - Annualized return on average stockholders' equity 14.42% 13.45% 7.2% 12.34% 12.49% (1.2)% (1) For the three-month period ended September 30, 1996 and September 30, 1995, average total assets amounted to $348,487 and $323,895 with average stockholders' equity totaling $33,878 and $31,674, respectively. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 1996 and September 30, 1995, average total assets amounted to $340,707 and $311,769 with average stockholders' equity totaling $33,130 and $30,592, respectively. 14 NET INCOME Net Interest Income - Earnings are dependent to a large degree on net interest income, defined as the difference between gross interest and fees earned on earning assets, primarily loans and securities, and interest paid on deposits and borrowed funds. Net interest income is effected by the interest rates earned or paid and by volume changes in loans, securities, deposits, and borrowed funds. Interest rates paid on deposits and borrowed funds and earned on loans and investments have generally followed the fluctuations in market interest rates in 1996 and 1995. However, fluctuations in market interest rates do not necessarily have a significant impact on net interest income, depending on the bank's rate sensitivity position. A rate sensitive asset (RSA) is any loan or investment that can be repriced either up or down in interest rate within a certain time interval. A rate sensitive liability (RSL) is an interest paying deposit or other liability that can be repriced either up or down in interest rate within a certain time interval. When a proper balance between RSA and RSL exists, market interest rate fluctuations should not have a significant impact on earnings. The larger the imbalance, the greater the interest rate risk assumed by the bank and the greater the positive or negative impact of interest rate fluctuations on earnings. The bank seeks to manage its assets and liabilities in a manner that will limit interest rate risk and thus stabilize longrun earning power. Management believes that a rise or fall in interest rates will not materially effect earnings. The Bank has maintained adequate net interest margins for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 by earning satisfactory yields on loans and securities and funding these assets with a favorable deposit mix containing a significant level of noninterest-bearing demand deposits. Fully-tax-equivalent net interest income showed a 13.2% increase from $3,274 for the three-month period ended September 30, 1995 to $3,707 for the three-month period ended September 30, 1996. During the same period, total fully-tax-equivalent interest income increased by 7.5% from $5,893 to $6,337 and total interest expense increased by .4% from $2,619 to $2,630. Fully-tax-equivalent net interest income as a percentage of total earning assets has shown an increase of .22% from 4.35% for the three-month period ended September 30, 1995 to 4.57% for the three-month period ended September 30, 1996. Fully-tax-equivalent net interest income showed a 7.5% increase from $9,803 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1995 to $10,539 for the nine- month period ended September 30, 1996. During the same period, total fully- tax-equivalent interest income increased by 7.1% from $17,260 to $18,479 and total interest expense increased by 6.5% from $7,457 to $7,940. Fully-tax- equivalent net interest income as a percentage of total earning assets has shown a decrease of .07% from 4.50% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1995 to 4.43% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1996.

(2) Includes non-accruing loans which does not have a material effect on the Net Yield on Earning Assets. 19 NET INCOME (continued) Provision for Possible Loan Losses - It is the policy of the bank to maintain the reserve for possible loan losses at the greater of 1.20% of net loans or the percentage based on the actual loan loss experience over the previous five years. In addition, management may increase the reserve to a level above these guidelines to cover potential losses identified in the portfolio. The provision for possible loan losses was $90 for the three-month period ended September 30, 1996 and $25 for the three-month period ended September 30, 1995. Net loan charge-offs/(recoveries) totaled $52 for the three-month period ended September 30, 1996 and $57 for the same period in 1995. The provision for possible loan losses was $230 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1996 and $105 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1995. Net loan charge-offs/(recoveries) totaled $113 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1996 and $30 for the same period in 1995. The reserve for possible loan losses as a percentage of net loans was 1.37% at September 30, 1996 and 1.55% at September 30, 1995. The increased provision during the three-month and nine-month period ended September 30, 1996 was due to the increased level of net loan growth. Continued low net charge-offs through the remainder of 1996 are anticipated by management. Securities Transactions - The bank recognized a gain on available-for-sale security transactions for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 of $38 and recognized a $26 gain during the first quarter of 1995. There were no security sales during the second quarter of 1996 or 1995. Management sold approximately $2 million and $3 million, respectively, in treasury bonds to fund loan growth and to adjust the Bank's interest sensitivity position. During the third quarter of 1995, management sold at a $1 loss approximately $2 million in variable-rate agencies in anticipation of falling interest rates. No sales were conducted during the third quarter of 1996. At September 30, 1996, December 31, 1995, and September 30, 1995 market value appreciation/(depreciation) in the securities portfolio totaled $(836), $1,546, and $237. As indicated, market value has been reduced due to rising market interest rates in 1996. Other Income - Other income, net of any gains/losses on security transactions, increased by 7.2% from $745 for the three-month period ended September 30, 1995 to $799 for the three-month period ended September 30, 1996. Other income, net of any gains/losses on security transactions, increased by 7.1% from $2,003 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1995 to $2,146 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1996. The increase in the three-month and nine-month period ended September 30, 1996 was primarily due to an increase in deposit account volumes and higher merchant discount income. Other Expenses - Other expenses increased by 6.9% from $2,329 for the three- month period ended September 30, 1995 to $2,489 for the three-month period ended September 30, 1996. The major components of other expenses are salaries and employee benefits which increased 9.4% from $1,364 to $1,492; occupancy expense which increased 2.2% from $367 to $375; and other operating expenses which increased by 4.0% from $597 to $621. 20 Other Expenses (continued) - Other expenses increased by 4.3% from $7,235 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1995 to $7,544 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1996. The major components of other expenses are salaries and employee benefits which increased 7.2% from $4,128 to $4,426; occupancy expense which increased 16.4% from $1,104 to $1,285; and other operating expense which decreased by 8.5% from $2,001 to $1,831. As anticipated, overhead expenses associated with substantial 1994-1995 purchases of electronic data processing equipment and drive-up automated teller machines, as well as the construction, equipping, and staffing of the Myrtle Beach Office, continue to impact earnings. However, total operating expense growth has been offset somewhat by a year-to-date decrease of $391 in FDIC insurance premium expense as reflected in the decline in other operating expense. Income Taxes - Provisions for income taxes increased 25.7% from $486 for the three-month period ended September 30, 1995 to $611 for the three-month period ended September 30, 1996. Income before income taxes less interest on tax-exempt investment securities increased by 23.7% from $1,331 for the three-month period ended September 30, 1995 to $1,647 for the same period in 1996. State tax liability increased as income before income taxes increased 18.1% from $1,551 to $1,832 during the same period. Provisions for income taxes increased 18.6% from $1,315 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1995 to $1,559 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1996. Income before income taxes less interest on tax-exempt investment securities increased by 18.2% from $3,476 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1995 to $4,107 for the same period in 1996 and state tax liability increased as income before income taxes increased 12.5% from $4,146 to $4,663 during the same period. LIQUIDITY The bank's liquidity position is primarily dependent on short-term demands for funds caused by customer credit needs and deposit withdrawals and upon the liquidity of bank assets to meet these needs. The bank's liquidity sources include cash and due from banks, federal funds sold, and short-term investments. In addition, the bank has established federal funds lines of credit from correspondent banks and has the ability, on a short-term basis, to borrow funds from the Federal Reserve System. Management feels that liquidity sources are more than adequate to meet funding needs. CAPITAL RESOURCES Total stockholders' equity was $34,651, $32,195, $28,857, and $26,820 at September 30, 1996, December 31, 1995, December 31, 1994, and December 31, 1993, representing 9.94%, 9.91%, 9.71%, and 9.46% of total assets, respectively. At September 30, 1996, the Bank exceeds quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy (see NOTE 12 -REGULATION MATTERS). Capital is considered sufficient by management to meet current and prospective capital requirements and to support anticipated growth in bank operations. 21 EFFECTS OF REGULATORY ACTION The management of the Company and the Bank are not aware of any current recommendations by the regulatory authorities which, if they were to be implemented, would have a material effect on liquidity, capital resources, or operations. In March 1995, the FASB issued SFAS 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of." The statement requires that long-lived assets and certain identified intangibles to be held and used by an entity be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The statement is effective for the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1996 and does not have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements. In May 1995, the FASB issued SFAS 122, "Accounting For Mortgage Servicing Rights," which amends SFAS No. 65, "Accounting For Mortgage Banking Activities." This statement allows the capitalization of servicing-related costs associated with mortgage loans that are originated for sale, and to create servicing assets for such loans. Prior to this statement, originated mortgage servicing rights were generally accorded off-balance sheet treatment. The statement is effective for the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1996. The adoption will have no material effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations. The FASB issued SFAS No. 123, "Accounting For Stock-based Compensation," in October 1995. This statement supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting For Stock Issued to Employees" and established financial accounting and reporting standards for stock-based employee compensation plans. Those plans include all arrangements by which employees receive shares of stock or other equity instruments of the employer or the employer incurs liabilities to employees in amounts based on the price of the employer's stock. The statement also applies to transactions in which an entity issues its equity instruments to acquire goods or services from nonemployees. This pronouncement does not apply to the Company and therefore will have no effect upon adoption. In June 1996, the FASB issued SFAS 125 "Accounting For Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities." FASB's objective is to develop consistent accounting standards for such transactions, including determining when financial assets should be considered sold and removed from the statement of financial position and when related revenues and expenses should be recognized. This approach focuses on analyzing the components of financial asset transfers and requires each party to a transfer to recognize the financial assets it controls and liabilities it has incurred and remove such assets from the statement of financial position when control over them has been relinquished. The statement is not expected to have a significant impact on the accounting practices of the Company and is generally effective for transactions entered into after December 31, 1996.
