ITEM 1. Description of Business
DESCRIPTION OF CNB CORPORATION
CNB Corporation (the "Company") is a South Carolina business corporation
organized for the purpose of becoming a bank holding company for The Conway
National Bank (the "Bank") under the Bank Holding Company Act. The Company
was organized with $500 of capital on March 8, 1985; received approval from
the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System on May 15, 1985, to
become a bank holding company; and on June 10, 1985, acquired, in exchange
for its own shares of common stock, substantially all of the common stock of
the Bank. The activities of the Company are subject to the supervision of
the Federal Reserve, and the Company may engage directly or through
subsidiary corporations in those activities closely related to banking which
are specifically permitted under the Bank Holding Company Act. See
"Supervision and Regulation." Although the Company, after obtaining the
requisite approval of the Federal Reserve and any other appropriate
regulatory agency, may seek to enter businesses closely related to banking or
to acquire existing businesses already engaged in such activities, the
Company has not conducted, and has no present intent to conduct, negotiations
for the acquisition or formation of any entities to engage in other
permissible activities other than the acquisition of the Bank. There can be
no assurance that the Company will form or acquire any other entity.
The Company and the Bank compete with those banks and other financial
institutions that compete with the Bank. See "Competition." In addition,
if the Company attempts to form or acquire other entities and engage in
activities closely related to banking, the Company will be competing with
other bank holding companies and companies currently engaged in lines of
business or permissible activities in which the Company might engage, many
of which have far greater assets and financial resources than the Company and
a greater capacity to raise additional debt and equity capital than the
Company.
DESCRIPTION OF THE SUBSIDIARY
The Bank is an independent community bank engaged in the general commercial
banking business in Horry County, South Carolina. The Bank was organized on
June 5, 1903 as the Bank of Horry located on Main Street in Conway, South
Carolina. The Bank became a national bank operating as The Conway National
Bank in 1914. On June 10, 1985, the Bank was reorganized into a bank
holding company structure when substantially all of the common stock of the
Bank was acquired by CNB Corporation in exchange for its own shares of common
stock. In 1960, the Bank opened its first additional office at 1400 Third
Avenue in Conway. Since that time, the following offices have been opened
in Horry County: Coastal Centre in Conway (1969); Surfside in Surfside Beach
(1971); Northside, north of Myrtle Beach (1977); Red Hill in Conway (1981);
Socastee, in the southern portion of Myrtle Beach (1986); Aynor in the Town
of Aynor (1991), and Myrtle Beach in the City of Myrtle Beach (1995). The
Surfside office was enlarged in 1977 and 1984, and the Coastal Centre office
was expanded in 1980. The Third Avenue office, which houses the Bank's
administrative offices and data processing facilities was expanded in 1982
from 11,150 square feet to 33,616 square feet. The Bank employs
approximately 180 full-time-equivalent employees at its principal office and
eight branch offices.
1
The Bank performs the full range of normal commercial banking functions.
Some of the major services provided include checking accounts, NOW accounts,
money market deposit accounts, IRA accounts, savings and time deposits of
various types and loans to individuals for personal use, home mortgages,
home improvement, automobiles, real estate, agricultural purposes and
business needs. Commercial lending operations include various types of
credit for business, industry, and agriculture. In addition, the Bank
offers safe deposit boxes, wire transfer services, bank money orders, 24-hour
teller machines on the HONOR Network, direct deposits and a MasterCard/Visa
program. Through a correspondent relationship the Bank offers discount
brokerage services. The Bank does not provide trust services; does not sell
annuities; and does not sell mutual funds.
The majority of the Bank's customers are individuals and small to
medium-sized businesses headquartered within the Bank's service area. The
Bank has no material concentration of deposits from any single customer or
group of customers. No significant portion of the Bank's loans is
concentrated within a single industry or group of related industries. There
are no material seasonal factors that would have any adverse effect on the
Bank nor does the Bank rely on foreign sources of funds or income.
COMPETITION
The Bank actively competes with other institutions in Horry County in
providing customers with deposit, credit and other financial services. The
principal competitors of the Bank include local offices of six regional
banks, two state-wide banks, five locally owned banks in Horry County and
various other financial and thrift institutions. The regional banks with
offices in Horry County are Nationsbank of S.C., First Union National Bank of
S.C., United Carolina Bank of S.C., First Citizens Bank and Trust Company,
Branch Bank and Trust of S.C. and Wachovia, N.A. of S.C.. The statewide
banks with offices in Horry County are National Bank of South Carolina and
Carolina First Savings Bank. The locally owned banks having offices in Horry
County are The Anchor Bank of Myrtle Beach, Anderson Brothers Bank, Coastal
Federal Savings Bank, Horry County State Bank and First National South Bank.
Beach First, N.A. received a bank charter in 1996 and will become another
locally owned bank competing within the Myrtle Beach market. In addition,
one thrift institution has offices in Horry County. The Bank also competes
with credit unions, money market funds, brokerage houses, insurance
companies, mortgage companies, leasing companies, consumer finance companies
and other financial institutions. Significant competitive factors include
interest rates on loans and deposits, prices and fees for services, office
location, customer service, community reputation, and continuity of
personnel.
SUPERVISION AND REGULATION
General
The Company and the Bank are subject to an extensive collection of state and
federal banking laws and regulations which impose specific requirements and
restrictions on, and provide for general regulatory oversight with respect
to, virtually all aspects of the Company's and the Bank's operations. The
Company and the Bank are also affected by government monetary policy and by
regulatory measures affecting the banking industry in general. The actions
of the Federal Reserve System affect the money supply and, in general,
the Bank's lending abilities in increasing or decreasing the cost and
2
availability of funds to the Bank. Additionally, the Federal Reserve System
regulates the availability of bank credit in order to combat recession and
curb inflationary pressures in the economy by open market operations in
United States government securities, changes in the discount rate on member
bank borrowings, changes in the reserve requirements against bank deposits
and limitations on interest rates which banks may pay on time and savings
deposits.
During 1989 and 1991, the United States Congress enacted two major pieces of
banking legislation: The Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and
Enforcement Act of 1989 ("FIRREA") and the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA"). The FIRREA and FDICIA have
significantly changed the commercial banking industry through, among other
things, revising and limiting the types and amounts of investment authority,
significantly increasing minimum regulatory capital requirements, and
broadening the scope and power of federal bank and thrift regulators over
financial institutions and affiliated persons in order to protect the deposit
insurance funds and depositors. These laws, and the resulting implementing
regulations, have subjected the Bank and the Company to extensive regulation,
supervision and examination by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency
(OCC). This has resulted in increased administrative, professional and
compensation expenses in complying with a substantially increased number of
new regulations and policies. The regulatory structure created by these laws
gives the regulatory authorities extensive authority in connection with their
supervisory and enforcement activities and examination policies.
The following is a brief summary of certain statutes, rules and regulations
affecting the Company and the Bank. This summary is qualified in its
entirety by reference to the particular statutory and regulatory provisions
referred to below and is not intended to be an exhaustive description of the
statutes or regulations applicable to the business of the Company and the
Bank. Any change in applicable laws or regulations may have a material
adverse effect on the business and prospects of the Company and the Bank.
The Company
The Company is a bank holding company within the meaning of the Federal Bank
Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the "BHCA") and is registered as
such with the Federal Reserve. The Company is required to file annual
reports and other information regarding its business operations and those of
its subsidiaries. It is also subject to supervision and regular
examinations.
The BHCA requires every bank holding company to obtain the prior approval of
the Federal Reserve Board before (i) it or any of its subsidiaries (other
than a bank) acquires substantially all of the assets of any bank, (ii) it
acquires ownership or control of any voting shares of any bank if after such
acquisition it would own or control, directly or indirectly, more than 5% of
the voting shares of such bank, or (iii) it merges or consolidates with any
other bank holding company.
The BHCA and the Federal Change in Bank Control Act, together with
regulations promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board, require that, depending
on the particular circumstances, either the Federal Reserve Board's approval
must be obtained or notice must be furnished to the Federal Reserve Board and
not disapproved prior to any person or company acquiring control of a bank
holding company, such as the Company, subject to certain exemptions for
certain transactions.
3
Under the BHCA, a bank holding company is generally prohibited from engaging
in, or acquiring direct or indirect control of more than 5% of the voting
shares of any company engaged in, nonbanking activities, unless the Federal
Reserve Board, by order or regulation, has found those activities to be so
closely related to banking or managing or controlling banks as to be a proper
incident thereto. Some of the activities that the Federal Reserve Board has
determined by regulation to be proper incidents to the business of a bank
holding company include making or servicing loans and certain types of
leases, engaging in certain insurance and discount brokerage activities,
performing certain data processing services, acting in certain circumstances
as a fiduciary or investment or financial adviser, owning savings
associations and making investments in certain corporations or projects
designed primarily to promote community welfare. The Company is also
restricted in its activities by the provisions of the Glass-Stegall Act of
1933, which prohibits the Company from owning subsidiaries that are engaged
principally in the issue, flotation, underwriting, public sale or
distribution of securities. The regulatory requirements to which the Company
is subject also set forth various conditions regarding the eligibility and
qualifications of its directors and officers.
The Bank
The Bank is subject to regulation and supervision, of which regular bank
examinations are a part, by the Comptroller of the Currency. The Bank is a
member of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC") which
currently insures the deposits of each member bank to a maximum of $100,000
per depositor. For this protection, each bank pays a statutory assessment
and is subject to the rules and regulations of the FDIC. The Company is an
"affiliate" of the Bank within the meaning of the Federal Reserve Act and the
Federal Deposit Insurance Act, which imposes restrictions on loans by any
subsidiary bank to the Company, on investments by any subsidiary bank in the
stock or securities of the Company and on the use of such stock or securities
as collateral security for loans by any subsidiary bank to any borrower. The
Company will also be subject to certain restrictions with respect to engaging
in the business of issuing, underwriting and distributing securities.
4
DESCRIPTION OF BANK STOCK
The Bank is authorized to issue 199,536 shares and has outstanding 193,536
shares of Bank Stock. The holders of Bank Stock are entitled to one vote per
share. Holders of shares of Bank Stock have preemptive rights to purchase
additional shares of Bank Stock and have cumulative rights in the elections
of directors of the Bank. The National Bank Act generally provides for a
majority vote of the Bank Stock to approve an action by the Bank but a two-
thirds vote of the outstanding shares of Bank Stock is required to approve
certain fundamental changes.
The National Bank Act, 12 U.S.C. Section 55, provides for the pro rata
assessment of holders of common stock of a national bank in the event that
its capital becomes impaired, such assessment to be enforced by sale to the
extent necessary of the stock of the stockholder failing to pay his
assessment. However, the Company has been advised that the Comptroller of
the Currency has not used this provision in recent years. Accordingly, the
shares of Bank Stock are subject to such assessment. However, the Bank's
management does not anticipate the Bank Stock being assessed in this manner
in the foreseeable future.
The holders of Bank Stock are entitled to receive such dividends as may be
declared by the Board of Directors of the Bank out of funds legally available
therefor. National banking laws and regulations impose restrictions on the
payment of dividends and other distributions to stockholders. The National
Bank Act provides that a national bank cannot pay dividends or other
distributions to stockholders out of any portion of its capital and surplus,
and that no dividend shall be paid by a bank in an amount greater than its
"net profits then on hand" (as defined in the National Bank Act), after
deduction of statutory "bad debts." In addition, 12 U.S.C. Section 60
provides that the approval of the Comptroller of the Currency is required for
the payment of dividends by a national bank if the total of all dividends
declared by the bank in any calendar year shall exceed the total of its "net
profits" of that year combined with its "retained net profits" of the
preceding two years. The same section further provides that, until the
surplus fund of a national bank shall equal its common capital, no dividends
shall be declared unless there has been carried to the surplus fund not less
than one-tenth part of the bank's net profits of the preceding half year in
the case of quarterly or semiannual dividends, or not less than one-tenth
part of its net dividends. Also, under 12 U.S.C. Section 1818, the
Comptroller of the Currency can restrict a national bank's dividend payments
if they are deemed an unsafe or unsound banking practice.
In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of
the Bank, the holders of outstanding shares of Bank Stock will be entitled to
share pro rata according to their respective interests in the Bank's assets
and funds remaining after payment or provision for payment of all debts and
other liabilities of the Bank.

DESCRIPTION OF COMPANY STOCK
General
The Company is authorized to issue 500,000 shares of Company Stock and as of
December 31, 1996, has 479,093 shares issued and 478,018 shares outstanding.
The holders of Company Stock are entitled to one vote per share. Holders of
shares of Company Stock do not have pre-emptive rights to purchase any
additional shares of Company Stock and do not have cumulative voting rights
in the election of directors. Without pre-emptive rights, stockholders could
experience dilution of their voting power and of their equity interest in the
Company.
The ability of the Company to pay dividends to the holders of the Company
Stock depends upon the amount of dividends paid by the Bank to the Company.
The holders of shares of Company Stock will be entitled to receive such
dividends as may be declared by the Board of Directors of the Company out of
the funds legally available therefor. The payment of dividends by the
company are subject to the restrictions of South Carolina laws applicable to
the declaration of dividends by a business corporation. Under such
provisions, dividends may be paid in cash or in property of the Company,
including the shares of other corporations, except when the Company is
insolvent or would thereby be made insolvent or when the declaration of
payment thereof would be contrary to any restrictions in the Company
Articles. Dividends may be declared and paid only out of the unreserved and
unrestricted earned surplus of the Company.
In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of
the Company, the holders of outstanding shares of Company Stock will be
entitled to share pro rata according to their respective interests in the
Company's assets and funds remaining after payment or provision for payment
of all debts and other liabilities of the Company.
All shares of Company Stock are fully paid and nonassessable.
The Bank is the transfer agent for shares of Company Stock.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFLATION ADJUSTED FINANCIAL DATA
Inflation-adjusted accounting has not been applied to the Company's financial
information as management does not believe this type of analysis provides
useful information within the financial services industry. The Company
currently does not meet the asset size criteria which would make detailed
disclosure of inflation adjusted data mandatory.

Net loans $182,505 $150,162 $142,143 $129,564 $129,594
MATURITIES AND SENSITIVITY TO CHANGES IN INTEREST RATES
The Company's loan portfolio consisted of approximately $129,456,000 and
$105,744,000 in fixed rate loans as of December 31, 1996 and 1995,
respectively. At December 31, 1996, and 1995, fixed rate loans with
maturities in excess of one year amounted to approximately $93,017,000 and
$75,380,000, respectively. Variable rate loans are those on which the
interest rate can be adjusted to changes in the Bank's prime rate. Fixed
rate loans are those on which the interest rate generally cannot be changed
for the term of the loan.
16
RISK ELEMENTS
The following information relates to certain assets which are defined as
risk elements by the Securities and Exchange Commission. All loans which
meet the criteria set forth by the Securities and Exchange Commission are
detailed below, regardless of the likelihood of collection in full or in
part. All loans classified for regulatory purposes as loss, doubtful,
substandard, or especially mentioned that have not been disclosed do not
represent or result from trends or uncertainties which management reasonably
expects will materially impact future operating results, liquidity, or
capital resources or represent material credits about which management is
aware of any information which causes management to have serious doubts as to
the ability of such borrower to comply with the loan repayment terms. As a
matter of practice, loans which management has serious concerns about the
borrower being able to pay are put into a non-accrual status and disclosed
under Risk Elements. Management reviews these loans periodically and feels
that the current reserve for possible loan losses more than adequately
provides coverage for actual loss potential. Other interest-bearing assets
considered a risk element are also detailed in this section.
NONACCRUAL, PAST DUE AND RESTRUCTURED LOANS
The following schedule summarizes the amount of nonaccrual, past due, and
restructured loans, in thousands of dollars, for the periods ended December
1996, 1995, 1994, 1993, 1992:
December 31,
1996 1995 1994 1993 1992
Nonaccrual loans $ 377 $ 479 $1,062 $1,015 $1,091
Accruing loans which are
contractually past due
90 days or more as to
principal or interest
payments $ 77 $ 87 $ 55 $ 221 $ 318
Restructed trouble debt None None None None None
Information relating to interest income on nonaccrual and renegotiated loans
outstanding for the year ended December 31, 1996, 1995, and 1994 is as
follows:
1996 1995 1994
Interest included in income during the
year $ 7 $ 2 $ 22
Interest which would have been included
at the original contract rates $ 45 $ 60 $ 93
Loans are placed in a non-accrual status when, in the opinion of management,
the collection of additional interest is questionable. Thereafter no
interest is taken into income unless received in cash or until such time as
the borrower demonstrates the ability to pay principal and interest.
17
POTENTIAL PROBLEM LOANS
In addition to those loans disclosed under "Risk Elements", there are certain
loans in the portfolio which are presently current but about which management
has concerns regarding the ability of the borrower to comply with present
loan repayment terms. Management maintains a loan review of the total loan
portfolio to identify loans where there is concern that the borrower will not
be able to continue to satisfy present loan repayment terms. Such problem
loan identification includes the review of individual loans, loss experience,
and economic conditions. Problem loans include both current and past due
loans.
As of December 31, 1996, loans which management had serious concerns about
the borrower being able to repay were put into a non-accrual status which are
disclosed under "Risk Elements".
FOREIGN OUTSTANDINGS
As of the year ended December 31, 1996, the Company had no foreign loans
outstanding.
LOAN CONCENTRATIONS
As of the year ended December 31, 1996, the Company did not have any
concentration of loans exceeding 10% of total loans which are not otherwise
disclosed as a category of loans pursuant to Item III. A. of Guide 3.
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 was remote due to the financial stability of the U.S. subsidiary.
Subsequently, on October 23, 1996, a plan of Rehabilitation for Confederation
Life Insurance Company (U.S.) was confirmed by the State of Michigan in the
Circuit Court for the County of Ingham. 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 have 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 the policy. Management anticipates the
Bank's COLI policies to be reinsured by Pacific Mutual prior to year-end
1997.
The Bank's independent external auditors have revisited the facts and
circumstances regarding the investment in the COLI program and have read the
related guidance in SFAS No. 5 and SAB Topic 5(Y). There continues to be no
significant uncertainties requiring the recognition of a loss contingency as
of the date of this report.
As of December 31, 1996, the Company does not have any other interest-bearing
assets that would be required to be disclosed under Item III. C. 1. or 2. if
such assets were loans.

SUMMARY OF LOAN LOSS EXPERIENCE
Loan loss experience for each reported period, in thousands of dollars, is
summarized as follows:
Year Ended December 31,

Total recoveries $ 197 $ 361 $ 211 $ 303 $ 173
Net charge-offs $ 232 $ 88 $ 245 $ 304 $ 530
Additions charged

Balance at end of period $ 2,370 $ 2,242 $ 2,220 $ 2,170 $ 2,029
Ratio of net charge-offs
during the period to
average loans outstanding
during the period. 14% .06% .17% .23% .41%
The reserve for loan losses is maintained at the greater of 1.20% of net
loans or an amount that bears the same ratio to eligible loans as net
charge-offs to average eligible loans over the past six years. In addition,
the Asset/ Liability Management Committee and the Loan Committee review the
adequacy of the reserve quarterly and make recommendations as to the desired
amount of the reserve. Determination of the adequacy of the reserve is based
on the above ratios and, but not limited to, considerations of classified and
internally-identified problem loans, the current trend in delinquencies, the
volume of past-due loans, and current or expected economic conditions. Based
upon these factors, net charge-offs are anticipated to be approximately $300
during 1997.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
The Company's subsidiary, The Conway National Bank, has nine permanent
offices in Horry County. The principal office, located at 1400 Third Avenue
in Conway, houses the Bank's administrative offices and data processing
facilities. This three-story structure, which was significantly expanded
in 1982, contains approximately 33,616 square feet. In addition, the Bank
has a 632 square foot building for express banking services adjacent to the
principal office. The Bank has a two-story office on Main Street in Conway
containing 8,424 square feet. Bank offices are housed in one-story
facilities at the Coastal Centre in Conway (3,500 square feet with an
adjacent 675 square foot building for express banking services), Red Hill in
Conway (3,760 square feet), Surfside in Surfside Beach (6,339 square feet),
Northside, north of Myrtle Beach (2,432 square feet), Socastee in the
southern portion of Myrtle Beach (3,498 square feet), Aynor in The Town of
Aynor (2,809 square feet), and Myrtle Beach in the City of Myrtle Beach
(12,000 square feet). Of the nine offices, the bank owns the principal
office, the office at Red Hill, Northside, Main Street, Socastee, Aynor, and
Myrtle Beach. All other facilities are leased by the Bank under long-term
leases with renewal options. In addition to the existing facilities, the
Company has purchased approximately one and one-half acres of land as a
future office site on Highway 17 south of Myrtle Beach in the Murrell's Inlet
area which is not expected to be utilized within the next two years.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
There were no material legal proceedings against the Company or its
subsidiary, The Conway National Bank, as of December 31, 1996.
There were no administrative or judicial proceedings arising under Section 8
of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act.
There were no material proceedings to which any director, officer, or owner
of record of more than 5% of the voting securities of the Company or any
associate is a party adverse to the Company.
There are other legal proceedings pending against the Company or its
subsidiary, The Conway National Bank, in the ordinary course of business. In
the opinion of management, based upon the opinion of counsel, liabilities
arising from these proceedings, if any, would not have a material adverse
effect on the financial position of the Company.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
On April 9, 1996, at the Annual Meeting of CNB Corporation, the security
holders:
1) Nominated and elected five directors to serve for a three-year
term; and
2) Ratified the appointment of Elliott, Davis, and Company,
Certified Public Accountants, as independent auditors for the
Company and its subsidiary for the year ending December 31,
1996.
PART II
ITEM 5. MARKET PRICE OF REGISTRANT'S COMMON STOCK AND
RELATED SECURITY HOLDER MATTERS
As of December 31, 1996, there were approximately 615 holders of record of
Company stock. There is no established market for shares of Company stock
and only limited trading in such shares has occurred since the formation of
the Company on June 10, 1985. Most of the limited trading transactions have
been effected through the efforts of officers of the Company in matching
interested purchasers with shareholders who have expressed an interest in
selling their shares of Company stock. Some private trading of Company stock
has occurred without any participation in the transaction by the officers of
the Company other than to effect the transfer on the Company's shareholder
records. Accordingly, management of the Company is not aware of the prices
at which all shares of Company stock have traded. The following table sets
forth the prices known to management of the Company at which shares of
Company stock have traded in each quarter within the two most recent fiscal
years.
1996 1995
High Low High Low
First Quarter $88.75 $88.75 $66.25 $66.25
Second Quarter $93.25 $88.75 $79.75 $66.25
Third Quarter $93.25 $93.25 $79.75 $79.75
Fourth Quarter $96.00 $93.25 $88.75 $79.75
Holders of shares of Company stock are entitled to such dividends as may be
declared from time to time by the Board of Directors of the Company.
The Company paid an annual cash dividend of $3.00 per share in 1996 and 1995,
$2.00 per share in 1994, 1993 and 1992, $1.50 per share in 1991, and $1.00
per share in the years 1985 through 1990. In addition, the Company may
from time to time pay a stock dividend. The Company paid a 20% stock
dividend in September, 1994, a 50% stock dividend in July, 1989, a 20% stock
dividend in August, 1987 and a 15% stock dividend in November, 1985. There
can be no assurance, however, as to the payment of dividends by the Company
in the future since payment will be dependent upon the earnings and
financial condition of the Company and the Bank and other related factors.

ITEM 7. 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 Company's financial
condition, results of operations, liquidity, and capital resources. The
following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company's
financial statements and notes thereto and other detailed information
appearing elsewhere in this report.
Distribution of Assets and Liabilities
The Company maintains a conservative approach in determining the distribution
of assets and liabilities. Loans, net of unearned income, increased 5.6%
from $144,363 at December 31, 1994 to $152,404 at December 31, 1995; and
21.3% from December 31, 1995 to $184,875 at December 31, 1996. Loan growth
is attributed to overall business development efforts to meet business and
personal loan demand in our market area. Loan demand was relatively strong
in our market area in 1995 and strong in 1996. During 1995, increased rate
and term competition on commercial loans within our market area somewhat
reduced the anticipated rate of loan growth. Loans, net of unearned income,
decreased as a percentage of total assets from 48.6% at year-end 1994 to
46.9% at year-end 1995 but grew strongly to 54.1% at year-end 1996.
Correspondingly, investment securities and federal funds sold increased as a
percentage of total assets from 43.7% at year-end 1994 to 45.0% at year-end
1995 but shrank to 38.7% at year-end 1996 as funds have been utilized to
balance the fluctuations in loan outstandings. Investments and federal funds
sold provide for an adequate supply of secondary liquidity. Year-end other
assets as a percentage of total assets increased from 7.7% in 1994 to 8.1% in
1995 due to the opening of a ninth banking office. This percentage dropped
to 7.2% in 1996 as the Bank grew into its expanded infrastructure. Management
has sought to build the deposit base with stable, relatively non-interest-
rate sensitive deposits by offering the small to medium account holders a
wide array of deposit instruments at competitve rates. Non-interest-bearing
demand deposits remained flat as a percentage of total assets at 13.8% at
December 31, 1994 and December 31, 1995, but grew to 14.6% at December 31,
1996. Demand deposits are expected to decline over the long-term as more
customers utilize interest-bearing deposit and repo accounts. Interest-
bearing liabilities as a percentage of total assets have declined from 75.7%
at December 31, 1994 to 75.2% at December 31, 1995 to 74.3% at December 31,
1996.
The following table sets forth the percentage relationship to total assets of
significant components of the Company's balance sheet as of December 31,
1996, 1995 and 1994:

Results of Operation
CNB Corporation and subsidiary experienced earnings in 1996, 1995 and 1994 of
$4,084, $3,756 and $3,497, respectively, resulting in a return of average
assets of 1.19%, 1.19%, and 1.18% and a return on average stockholders'
equity of 12.15%, 12.07% and 12.29%. The earnings were primarily attributable
to favorable 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). These strong
earnings, coupled with a conservative dividend policy, have supplied the
necessary capital funds to support bank operations. Total assets were
$341,818 at December 31, 1996 as compared to $324,694 at December 31,
1995 and $297,120 at December 31, 1994. The following table sets forth the
financial highlights for fiscal years 1996, 1995, and 1994.

stockholders' equity totaling $33,620, $31,113, and $28,458, respectively.
27
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 investment securities, and
interest paid on deposits and borrowed funds. Net interest income is
affected by the interest rates earned or paid and by volume changes in
loans, investment securities, deposits, and borrowed funds.
The Bank has maintained strong net interest margins in 1996, 1995
and 1994 by earning adequate yields on loans and investments and funding
these assets with a favorable deposit and repurchase agreement mix.
Fully-tax-equivalent net interest income has grown from $12,750 in 1994 and
$12,943 in 1995 to $14,298 in 1996. During the three-year period, total
fully-tax-equivalent interest income increased by 13.2% from $20,363 in
1994 to $23,058 in 1995 and increased 7.9% in 1996 to $24,877. Over the
same period, total interest expense increased by 32.9% from $7,613 in 1994 to
$10,115 in 1995 and increased 4.6% to $10,579 in 1996. The significant
increase in 1995 interest income and expense reflected a rapid rise in market
interest rates coupled with higher volumes of bank assets and liabilities
while changes in 1996 were reflective of more modest interest rate and asset
increases. Fully-tax-equivalent net interest income as a percentage of
average total earning assets has moved in a narrow range from 4.6% in 1994 to
4.4% in 1995 and 4.5% in 1996.
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, 1995, and 1994. 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 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 long-run earning power. The
following table sets forth the Bank's rate sensitivity position at each of
the time intervals indicated. The table illustrates the Bank's rate
sensitivity position on specific dates and may not be indicative of the
position at other points in time. Management believes that a rise or fall in
interest rates will not materially effect earnings.

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 during
the ongoing in-house problem loan identification process. The Company
includes the provisions of SFAS No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for
Impairment of a Loan", in the allowance for loan losses (see NOTE 1 - SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES). The provision for possible loan losses
was $360 in 1996, $110 in 1995, and $295 in 1994. Net loan charge-offs
totalled $232 in 1996, $88 in 1995, and $245 in 1994 with net charge-offs
being centered in consumer purpose loans during each period. The reserve for
possible loan losses as a percentage of net loans was 1.30% at December 31,
1996, 1.49% at December 31, 1995, and 1.56% at December 31, 1994.
Securities Transactions - Net unrealized gains/(losses) in the investment
securities portfolio were $202 at December 31, 1996, $1,546 at December 31,
1995, and $(4,646) at December 31, 1994. The market value of investment
securities declined during 1994 due to the rapid rise in overall market
rates, rose again in 1995 as rates retreated, and declined modestly in 1996
as market rates rose somewhat. Security losses of $167 were taken in 1994 in
transactions to sell short-term low-yielding bonds and re-investing in
higher-yielding intermediate-term bonds. Security gains of $25 and $41 were
taken in 1995 and 1996, respectively, when bonds were sold to provide
additional primary liquidity and to manage the bank's interest rate
sensitivity position.
Other Income - Other income, net of security sales, decreased by 1.7% from
$2,981 in 1994 to $2,929 in 1995 and grew 1.5% from $2,929 in 1995 to $2,974
in 1996. Other income fell in 1995 due to lower service charge income booked
on deposit accounts, offset somewhat by higher merchant discount income, but
rose again in 1996 due to higher volumes in deposit and loan account
activity.
Other Expenses - Other expenses increased by 2.1% from $9,599 in 1994 to
$9,797 in 1995 and 6.1% from $9,797 in 1995 to $10,393 in 1996. The
components of other expenses are salaries and employee benefits of $5,285,
$5,695 and $6,166; occupancy and furniture and equipment expenses of $1,550,
$1,504, and $1,759; and other operating expenses of $2,764, $2,598, and
$2,468 for 1994, 1995, and 1996, respectively. The increase in salaries and
employee benefits reflects compensation increments, the increased costs of
providing employee benefits, and the 1995 addition of a 12-person Myrtle
Beach office. The Myrtle Beach office also impacted 1996 occupancy and
furniture and equipment expense as this was the first full year of operation.
During the third quarter of 1995, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
(FDIC) announced that the bank insurance fund was fully capitalized and banks
were due a rebate of excessive paid-in insurance premiums. The Conway
National Bank received a $145 FDIC insurance premium rebate and is
experiencing significantly lower premiums as is evidenced in the decline in
1995 and 1996 other operating expenses. Looking ahead, non-interest expense
should grow at only a nominal rate during 1997 as no significant staffing and
infrastructure expenditures are expected, but may increase in 1998 due to
potential expansion in the bank's branch network.
Income Taxes - Provisions for income taxes increased 7.2% from $1,657 in
1994 to $1,777 in 1995 and 17.9% from $1,777 in 1995 to $2,095 in 1996.
The increase in income taxes is primarily due to an increase in income before
income taxes of 7.4% from $5,154 in 1994 to $5,533 in 1995 and 11.7% from
$5,533 in 1995 to $6,179 in 1996. Also, the utilization of tax-free income
as a percentage of income before income taxes declined in 1995 and 1996.
29
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. The Company has cash
balances on hand of $3,078, $2,927, and $2,358 at December 31, 1996, 1995,
and 1994 with liabilities, consisting of cash dividends payable, totalling
$1,435, $1,432, and $955, respectively. Management feels that liquidity
sources are more than adequate to meet funding needs.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
Total stockholders' equity was $34,496, $32,195, and $28,857 at December
31, 1996, 1995, and 1994, representing 10.09%, 9.92%, and 9.71% of total
assets, respectively. At December 31, 1996, the Bank exceeds quantitative
measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy (see NOTE 15 -
REGULATORY MATTERS). Capital is considered sufficient by management to meet
current and prospective capital requirements and to support anticipated
growth in bank operations.
EFFECTS OF INFLATION
Inflation normally has the effect of accelerating the growth of both
a bank's assets and liabilities. One result of this inflationary effect is
an increased need for equity capital. Income is also affected by inflation.
While interest rates have traditionally moved with inflation, the effect on
net income is diminished because both interest earned on assets and interest
paid on liabilities vary directly with each other. In some cases,
however, rate increases are delayed on fixed-rate instruments. Loan demand
normally declines during periods of high inflation. Inflation has a direct
impact on the Bank's non-interest expense. The Bank responds to inflation
changes through readjusting non-interest income by repricing services.
EFFECTS OF REGULATORY ACTION
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) reduced FDIC insurance
premium rates during the third quarter of 1995. This decrease had a positive
effect on earnings in 1995 and 1996 and should favorably impact future years
income. (see NET INCOME - Other Expenses). The management of the Company and
the Bank is not aware of any other current recommendations by the regulatory
authorities which, if they were to be implemented, would have a material
effect on liquidity, capital resources, or operations.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
The Directors and Stockholders
CNB Corporation
Conway, South Carolina
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of CNB
Corporation and Subsidiary as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related
consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders' equity and cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996.
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining,
on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe
that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of CNB
Corporation and Subsidiary at December 31, 1996 and 1995 and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

CNB CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of consolidation and nature of operations
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CNB
Corporation ("the Company") and its majority-owned subsidiary, The Conway
National Bank ("the Bank"). All significant intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated. The Bank operates under a national bank
charter and provides full banking services to customers. The Bank is subject
to regulation of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Company is subject to regulation
of the Federal Reserve Board.
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the dates of the
Consolidated Balance sheets and the Consolidated Statements of Income for the
periods covered. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Concentrations of credit risk
The Company, through its subsidiary, makes commercial and personal loans
to individuals and small businesses located primarily in the South Carolina
coastal region. The Company has a diversified loan portfolio and the
borrowers' ability to repay their loans is not dependent upon any specific
economic sector.
Cash and cash equivalents
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents are
defined as those amounts included in the balance sheet caption "Cash and Due
from Banks". Cash and cash equivalents have an original maturity of three
months or less.
Investment securities
In 1994, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities." Stockholders' equity at the beginning of 1994 was restated to
reflect the effect of a change in accounting principle. Adoption of the
standard had no effect on net income.
Debt securities are classified upon purchase as available for sale, held
to maturity or trading. Such assets classified as available for sale are
carried at market value. Unrealized holding gains or losses are reported as
a component of stockholders' equity net of deferred income taxes. Securities
classified as held to maturity are carried at cost, adjusted for the
amortization of premiums and the accretion of discounts. In order to qualify
as held to maturity the Company must have the intent and ability to hold the
securities to maturity. Trading securities are carried at market value. The
Company has no trading securities. Gains or losses on disposition of
securities are based on the difference between the net proceeds and the
adjusted carrying amount of the securities sold, using the specific
identification method.
Loans and interest income
Interest on loans is accrued and taken into income based upon the interest
method. Interest on certain installment loans is accrued and taken into
income based upon the sum-of-the-months-digits method. The results from the
use of the sum-of-the-months-digits method are not materially different from
those that would be obtained using the interest method.
(Continued)
38
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued
Loans and interest income, continued
The Company adopted SFAS No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment
of a Loan on January 1, 1994. This standard requires that all creditors
value loans at the loans fair value if it is probable that the creditor will
be unable to collect all amounts due according to the terms of the loan
agreement. Fair value may be determined based upon the present value of
expected cash flows, market price of the loan, if available, or value of the
underlying collateral. Expected cash flows are required to be discounted at
the loans effective interest rate. SFAS No. 114 was amended by SFAS No. 118
to allow a creditor to use existing methods for recognizing interest income
on an impaired loan and by requiring additional disclosures about how a
creditor recognizes interest income on an impaired loan. The adoption of the
standards required no increase in the allowance for loan losses and had no
impact on net income for the year ended December 31, 1994.
Under SFAS No. 114, as amended by SFAS No. 118, when the ultimate
collectibility of an impaired loan's principal is in doubt, wholly or
partially, all cash receipts are applied to principal. When this doubt does
not exist, cash receipts are applied under the contractual terms of the loan
agreement first to principal then to interest income. Once the recorded
principal balance has been reduced to zero, future cash receipts are applied
to interest income, to the extent that any interest has been foregone.
Further cash receipts are recorded as recoveries of any amounts previously
charged off.
A loan is also considered impaired if its terms are modified in a troubled
debt restructuring after January 1, 1994. For these accruing impaired loans,
cash receipts are typically applied to principal and interest receivable in
accordance with the terms of the restructured loan agreement. Interest
income is recognized on these loans using the accrual method of accounting.
As of December 31, 1996 and 1995, the Company had no impaired loans.
Allowance for loan losses
The allowance for loan losses is based on management's ongoing evaluation
of the loan portfolio and reflects an amount that, in management's opinion,
is adequate to absorb losses in the existing portfolio. In evaluating the
portfolio, management takes into consideration numerous factors, including
current economic conditions, prior loan loss experience, the composition of
the loan portfolio, and management's estimate of anticipated credit losses.
Loans are charged against the allowance at such time as they are determined
to be losses. Subsequent recoveries are credited to the allowance.
Management considers the year-end allowance appropriate and adequate to cover
possible losses in the loan portfolio; however, management's judgment is
based upon a number of assumptions about future events, which are believed to
be reasonable, but which may or may not prove valid. Thus, there can be no
assurance that charge-off's in future periods will not exceed the allowance
for loan losses or that additional increases in the allowance for loan losses
will not be required.
Premises and equipment
Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and
amortization. Depreciation and amortization are computed over the estimated
useful lives of the assets using primarily accelerated methods. Additions to
premises and equipment and major replacements or improvements are capitalized
at cost. Maintenance, repairs and minor replacements are expensed when
incurred. Gains and losses on routine dispositions are reflected in current
operations.
(Continued)
39
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued
Non-performing assets
Non-performing assets include real estate acquired through foreclosure or
deed taken in lieu of foreclosure, and loans on non-accrual status. Loans
are placed on non-accrual status when, in the opinion of management, the
collection of additional interest is questionable. Thereafter no interest is
taken into income unless received in cash or until such time as the borrower
demonstrates the ability to pay principal and interest.
Advertising expense
Advertising, promotional, and other business development costs are
generally expensed as incurred. External costs incurred in producing media
advertising are expensed the first time the advertising takes place. External
costs relating to direct mailing costs are expensed in the period in which
the direct mailings are sent. Advertising, promotional, and other business
development costs of $293,711, $349,805 and $242,138 were included in the
Companys results of operations for 1996, 1995, and 1994, respectively.
Income taxes
Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting
for Income Taxes. Under SFAS No. 109, deferred tax liabilities are
recognized on all taxable temporary differences (reversing differences where
tax deductions initially exceed financial statement expense, or income is
reported for financial statement purposes prior to being reported for tax
purposes). In addition, deferred tax assets are recognized on all deductible
temporary differences (reversing differences where financial statements
expense initially exceeds tax deductions, or income is reported for tax
purposes prior to being reported for financial statements purposes) and
operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Valuation allowances are
established to reduce deferred tax assets if it is determined to be more
likely than not that all or some portion of the potential deferred tax asset
will not be realized.
Net income per share
Net income per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding, 477,496 in 1996, 477,820 in 1995 and
476,370 in 1994. Per share data has been restated to reflect stock
dividends.
Recently issued accounting standards
Accounting standards that have been proposed or issued by standard-setting
groups that do not require adoption until a future date will have no material
impact on the financial statements upon adoption.
Fair values of financial instruments
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures About
Fair Value of Financial Instruments," as amended by SFAS No. 119, requires
disclosure of fair value information for financial instruments, whether or
not recognized in the balance sheet, when it is practicable to estimate the
fair value. SFAS No. 107 defines a financial instrument as cash, evidence of
an ownership interest in an entity or contractual obligations which require
the exchange of cash or other financial instruments. Certain items are
specifically excluded from the disclosure requirements, including the
Company's common stock. In addition, other nonfinancial instruments such as
premises and equipment and other assets and liabilities are not subject to
the disclosure requirements.
(Continued)
40
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating
fair values of financial instruments as disclosed herein:
Cash and due from banks - The carrying amounts of cash and due from banks
(cash on hand, due from banks and interest bearing deposits with other banks)
approximate their fair value.
Federal funds sold - The carrying amounts of federal funds sold approximate
their fair value.
Investment securities held to maturity and available for sale - Fair values
for investment securities are based on quoted market prices.
Loans - For variable rate loans that reprice frequently and for loans that
mature within one year, fair values are based on carrying values. Fair
values for all other loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses,
with interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to
borrowers of similar credit quality. Fair values for impaired loans are
estimated using discounted cash flow analyses or underlying collateral
values, where applicable.
Deposits - The fair values disclosed for demand deposits are, by
definition, equal to their carrying amounts. The carrying amounts of
variable rate, fixed-term money market accounts and short-term certificates
of deposit approximate their fair values at the reporting date. Fair values
for long-term fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a
discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being
offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly
maturities.
Short-term borrowings - The carrying amounts of borrowings under repurchase
agreements, federal funds purchased and U. S. Treasury demand notes
approximate their fair values.
Off-balance sheet instruments - Fair values of off-balance sheet lending
commitments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar
agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the
counterparties' credit standing.
NOTE 2 - RESTRICTIONS ON CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS
The Bank is required to maintain average reserve balances either at the
bank or on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank. The average amounts of
these reserve balances for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 were
approximately $5,112,000 and $4,306,000, respectively.

The Bank enters into sales of securities under agreements to repurchase.
These obligations to repurchase securities sold are reflected as liabilities
in the consolidated balance sheets. The dollar amount of securities
underlying the agreements are book entry securities maintained at the Federal
Reserve Bank of Richmond. The weighted-average interest rate of these
agreements was 4.71 and 5.10 percent at December 31, 1996 and 1995,

corporate purposes of the Bank. All of the lenders have reserved the right
to withdraw these lines at their option.
The Company has a demand note through the U.S. Treasury, Tax and Loan
system with the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond. The Company may borrow up

The sources and tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to
significant portions of the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities
are as follows:
December 31,
1996 1995
Deferred tax assets:
Allowance for loan losses deferred
for tax purposes $ 806 $ 762
Other 16 16

Depreciation for income tax reporting
in excess of amount
for financial reporting (349) (356)
Gross deferred tax liabilities (517) (773)
Net deferred tax liability $(494) $(674)
A portion of the change in the net deferred tax liability relates to the
change in unrealized net gains on securities available for sale. The related
current period deferred tax credit of $268,800 has been recorded directly to
stockholders' equity. The balance of the change in the net deferred tax
liability results from the current period deferred tax expense.

NOTE 10 - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK
The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk
in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its
customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit
and standby letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying
degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount
recognized in the statements of financial position. The contract amounts of
those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Bank has in
particular classes of financial instruments. The Bank uses the same credit
policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-
balance-sheet instruments.
The contract value of the Company's off-balance-sheet financial instruments
is as follows as of December 31, 1996 (amounts in thousands):
Contract
amount
Commitments to extend credit $ 11,234
Standby letters of credit $ 906
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend as long as there is
no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments
generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may
require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to
expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not
necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates each
customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of
collateral obtained if deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit
is based on management's credit evaluation.
NOTE 11 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
At December 31, 1996, the Bank was obligated under a number of non-
cancelable operating leases on equipment and land used for branch offices
that had an initial or remaining term of more than one year. Future minimum
rental payments under these leases at December 31, 1996 were (amounts in
thousands):
Payable in year ending Amount
1997 $ 53
1998 55
1999 56
2000 57
2001 8
2002 and thereafter 59
Total future minimum payments required $ 288
Lease payments under all operating leases charged to expense totaled
$61,000 in 1996, $23,000 in 1995 and $54,000 in 1994. The leases provide
that the lessee pay property taxes, insurance and maintenance cost.
The Company is party to litigation and claims arising in the normal course
of business. Management, after consultation with legal counsel, believes
that the liabilities, if any, arising from such litigation and claims will
not be material to the Bank's financial position.
(Continued)
47
NOTE 12 - RESTRICTION ON DIVIDENDS
The ability of the Company to pay cash dividends is dependent upon
receiving cash in the form of dividends from the Bank. Federal banking
regulations restrict the amount of dividends that can be paid and such
dividends are payable only from the retained earnings of the Bank. At
December 31, 1996 the Bank's retained earnings were $28,698,000.
NOTE 13 - TRANSACTIONS WITH DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND ASSOCIATES
Directors and executive officers of the Company and the Bank and associates
of such persons are customers of and had transactions with the Bank in the
ordinary course of business. Additional transactions may be expected to take
place in the future. Also, included in such transactions are outstanding
loans and commitments, all of which were made on comparable terms, including
interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for other
customers of the Bank, and did not involve more than normal risk of
collectibility or present other unfavorable features. Total loans to all
executive officers and directors, including immediate family and business
interests, at December 31, 1996 and 1995, were $1,895,000 and $2,025,000,
respectively. During 1996, $259,000 of new loans were made to this group and
repayments of $389,000 were received.
NOTE 14 - 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 years ended December
31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, $336,000, $266,000 and $295,000, respectively, was
charged to operations under the plan.
Supplemental benefits are provided to certain key officers under The
Conway National Bank Executive Supplemental Income Plan. This plan is not
qualified under the Internal Revenue Code. The plan is unfunded. However,
certain benefits are informally and indirectly funded by insurance policies
on the lives of the covered employees.
NOTE 15 - 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
Bank's financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the
regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet
specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank's
assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under
regulatory accounting practices. The Bank's capital amounts and
classification are 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 Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the
table below) of total and Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets, and of Tier
I capital to average assets. Management believes, as of December 31, 1996,
that the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.
(Continued)
48
NOTE 15 - REGULATORY MATTERS, Continued
As of December 31, 1996, the most recent notification from the Office of the
Comptroller of the Currency categorized the Bank as well capitalized under
the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no
conditions or events since that notification that management believes have
changed the institution's category. The Bank's actual capital amounts and
ratios and minimum regulatory amounts and ratios are presented as follows:
To be well capitalized

ITEM 11. COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
The Company pays no remuneration to its Directors and Executive
Officers. All remuneration for services rendered are paid by the Company's
subsidiary, The Conway National Bank, Conway, South Carolina ("the Bank").
Compensation Committee Report
The Executive Committee of the Bank recommends to the Board of
Directors the appointment of officers; determines officer compensation
subject to Board approval; and reviews employee salaries. The compensation
of the President (Chief Executive Officer) and the other executive officers
is not tied directly to corporate performance or any measure thereof.
However, it would be deemed unacceptable by the Executive Committee, Board,
and management to establish compensation levels that are not consistent with
the performance of the Bank or return to shareholders. During the
compensation decision process, much emphasis is placed on the Job Evaluation
Salary Administration Program (JESAP) Committee. The "JESAP" Committee is
charged with the responsibility of establishing job position descriptions;
applying values to each job position in the form of a salary range; and
obtaining salary surveys of a local, regional, and national level to
determine that salary ranges are consistent with the industry and peers. The
"JESAP" committee utilizes an independent management consulting firm to aid
in this process. For each Bank employee, including the President (Chief
Executive Officer) and all executive officers, a salary minimum, midpoint,
and maximum is established. For fiscal 1996, all executive officer
compensation levels were below the midpoint as established by the JESAP
process.

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS (continued)
PENSION PLAN DISCLOSURE
The Bank has a defined contribution pension plan
covering all employees who have attained age twenty-one and have a
minimum 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 contributions of salary
deferred and fifty percent of employee contributions in excess of one
percent and up to six percent of salary deferred. For the years ended
December 31, 1996, 1995, and 1994, $336,000, $266,000, and $295,000,
respectively, was charged to operations under the plan.
The Board of Directors of the Bank have designed and
implemented a non-qualified Executive Supplemental Income (ESI) Plan
for Willis J. Duncan, W. Jennings Duncan, Robert P. Hucks, and Paul R.
Dusenbury. Under the provisions of the ESI Plan, the Bank and the
participating employees will execute agreements providing each
employee (or his beneficiary, if applicable) with a pre-retirement
death benefit and a post-retirement annuity benefit. The ESI Plan is
designed to provide participating employees with a pre-retirement
benefit based on a percentage of the employee's current compensation.
The ESI agreement's post-retirement benefit is designed to supplement a
participating employee's retirement benefits from Social Security in order
to provide the employee with a certain percentage of his final average
income at retirement age. While the employee is receiving benefits
under the ESI Agreement, the agreement will prohibit the employee from
competing with the Bank and will require the participating
employee to be available for consulting work for the Bank. The ESI
Agreement may be amended or revoked at any time prior to the participating
employee's death or retirement, but only with the mutual written consent
of the covered employee and the Bank. The ESI Agreements require that
the participating employee be employed at the Bank at the earlier of
death or retirement to be eligible to receive, or have his beneficiary
receive, benefits under the agreement. The ESI Plan is an unfunded plan,
although the Bank has the right to acquire investments to informally
and indirectly provide funding for the benefits payable under the plan.

Directors who are not Bank officers receive $300 for each monthly
meeting of the Board of Directors and an additional $100 for each committee
meeting attended.
COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(a) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the
Company's directors and executive officers and persons who own more than ten
percent of a registered class of the Company's equity securities to file
reports of ownership on Form 3 and changes in ownership on Form 4 or 5 with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and the National
Association of Securities Dealers. Such officers, directors, and 10 percent
shareholders are also required by SEC rules to furnish the Company with
copies of all Section 16(a) forms that they file.
Based solely on its review of copies of such reports received or written
representations from certain reporting persons, the Company believes that
during the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996, all Section 16(a) filing
requirements applicable to its officers, directors, and 10 percent
shareholders were complied with.
