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 March 31, 1997, 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. 9 NOTE 5 - PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT Property at March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996 is summarized as follows: March 31, December 31, 1997 1996 Land and buildings $ 8,295 $ 8,358 Furniture, fixtures and equipment 5,244 5,404 Construction in progress 0 45 $ 13,539 $ 13,807 Less accumulated depreciation and amortization 6,837 6,941 $ 6,702 $ 6,866 Depreciation and amortization of bank premises and equipment charged to operating expense was $167 for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 and $757 for the year ended December 31, 1996. NOTE 6 - CERTIFICATES OF DEPOSIT IN EXCESS OF $100,000 At March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996, certificates of deposit of $100,000 or more included in time deposits totaled approximately $53,607 and $34,318 respectively. Interest expense on these deposits was approximately $630 for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 and $1,639 for the year ended December 31, 1996. NOTE 7 - SECURITIES SOLD UNDER REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS At March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996, securities sold under repurchase agreements totaled approximately $32,312 and $29,018. U.S. Government securities with a book value of $39,910 ($39,809 market value) and $42,181 ($42,174 market value), respectively, are used as collateral for the agreements. The weighted-average interest rate of these agreements was 4.70 percent and 4.71 percent at March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996. NOTE 8 - LINES OF CREDIT At March 31, 1997, 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 $5,875 at March 31, 1997. The amount outstanding under the note totaled $2,573 and $2,319 at March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996, respectively. NOTE 9 - INCOME TAXES Income tax expense for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 and March 31, 1996 on pretax income of $1,716 and $1,377 totalled $603 and $450 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 March 31, 1997. 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 March 31, 1997, commitments to extend credit totalled $10,947; financial standby letters of credit totalled $562; and performance standby letters of credit totalled $505. 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 quarter ended March 31, 1997 and years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, $87, $336, $266, and $295, 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 for prompt corrective action, 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 also presented in the table below as of March 31, 1997: To be well capitalized For under prompt capital adequacy corrective action purposes provisions Actual Minimum Minimum Amount Ratio Amount Ratio Amount Ratio Total Capital (to risk $36,233 17.87% $16,218 8.0% $20,273 10.0% weighted assets) Tier I Capital (to risk 33,699 16.62 8,109 4.0 12,164 6.0 weighted assets) Tier I Capital (to avg. 33,699 9.40 14,344 4.0 17,930 5.0 assets) 11 NOTE 13 - CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION Following is condensed financial information of CNB Corporation (parent company only): CONDENSED BALANCE SHEET MARCH 31, 1997 (Unaudited) ASSETS Cash $ 1,690 Investment in subsidiary 33,477 Fixed assets 254 Other assets 37 $ 35,458 LIABILITIES AND STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY Other liability $ 0 Stockholders' equity 35,458 $ 35,458 CONDENSED STATEMENT OF INCOME For the three-month period ended March 31, 1997 (Unaudited) EQUITY IN NET INCOME OF SUBSIDIARY $ 1,130 OTHER INCOME 0 OTHER EXPENSES (17) Net Income $ 1,113 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.

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 20.6% from $163,079 at March 31, 1996 to $196,682 at March 31, 1997 and have increased as a percentage of total assets from 48.7% to 53.5% over the same period as loan demand has remained strong in our market. Securities and federal funds sold have decreased as a percentage of total assets from 44.0% at March 31, 1996 to 39.6% at March 31, 1997 as we have utilized funds from the investments area to meet the credit needs of the community. 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 13.9% at March 31, 1996 to 15.0% at March 31, 1997. However, as more customers, both business and personal, are attracted to interest-bearing deposit accounts, we expect the decline in the percentage of demand deposits to continue over the long-term. Interest-bearing deposits have grown from 62.3% of total assets at March 31, 1996 to 65.2% at March 31, 1997 while securities sold under agreement to repurchase have decreased from 12.7% to 8.8% over the same period. The following table sets forth the percentage relationship to total assets of significant component's of the corporation's balance sheet as of March 31, 1997 and 1996: March 31, Assets: 1997 1996 Earning assets: Loans, net of unearned income 53.5% 48.7% Investment securities 19.8 22.7 Securities Available for Sale 16.5 19.3 Federal funds sold and securities purchased under agreement to resell 3.3 2.0 Other earning assets - - Total earning assets 93.1 92.7 Other assets 6.9 7.3 Total assets 100.0% 100.0% Liabilities and stockholders' equity: Interest-bearing liabilities: Interest-bearing deposits 65.2% 62.3% Federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreement to repurchase 8.8 12.7 Other short-term borrowings .7 .6 Obligations under mortgages and capital leases - - Total interest-bearing liabilities 74.7 75.6 Noninterest-bearing deposits 15.0 13.9 Other liabilities .7 .7 Stockholders' equity 9.6 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 March 31, 1997 and 1996 of $1,113 and $927, respectively, resulting in a return on average assets of 1.24% and 1.12% and a return on average stockholders' equity of 13.16% and 11.39%. 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 $32,751 or 9.8% from $334,919 at March 31, 1996 to $367,670 at March 31, 1997. The following table sets forth the financial highlights for the three-month periods ending March 31, 1997 and March 31, 1996: CNB Corporation CNB Corporation and Subsidiary FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS (All Dollar Amounts, Except Per Share Data, in Thousands) Three-Month Period Ended March 31, Percent Increase 1997 1996 (Decrease) Net interest income after provision for loan losses 3,537 3,169 11.6% Income before income taxes 1,716 1,377 24.6 Net Income 1,113 927 20.1 Per Share (1) 2.33 1.94 20.1 Cash dividends declared 0 0 0 Per Share (1) 0 0 0 Total assets 367,670 334,919 9.8% Total deposits 295,027 255,555 15.4 Loans, net of unearned income 196,682 163,079 20.6 Investment securities 133,341 140,815 (5.3) Stockholders' equity 35,458 32,763 8.2 Book value per share 74.06 68.65 7.9 Ratios (1): Annualized return on average total assets 1.24% 1.12% 10.7% Annualized return on average stockholders' equity 13.16% 11.39% 15.5% (1) For the three-month period ended March 31, 1997 and March 31, 1996, average total assets amounted to $358,598 and $332,090 with average stockholders' equity totaling $33,817 and $32,555, 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 1997 and 1996. 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 period ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 by earning satisfactory yields on loans and investments 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 16.7% increase from $3,317 for the three-month period ended March 31, 1996 to $3,870 for the three-month period ended March 31, 1997. During the same period, total fully-tax-equivalent interest income increased by 11.3% from $5,992 to $6,668 and total interest expense increased by 4.6% from $2,675 to $2,798. Fully-tax-equivalent net interest income as a percentage of total earning assets has shown an increase of .33% from 4.29% for the three-month period ended March 31, 1996 to 4.62% for the three-month period ended March 31, 1997. The tables on the following two pages present selected financial data and an analysis of net interest income. 15 CNB Corporation and Subsidiary Selected Financial Data Three Months Ended 3/31/97 Three Months Ended 3/31/96 Avg.

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 $240 for the three-month period ended March 31, 1997 and $50 for the three-month period ended March 31, 1996. Net loan charge-offs totaled $76 for the three-month period ended March 31, 1997 and $25 for the same period in 1996. The reserve for possible loan losses as a percentage of net loans was 1.31% at March 31, 1997 and 1.41% at March 31, 1996. Although net loan losses remain below budget, the provision for possible loan losses increased from $50 during the first quarter of 1996 to $240 during the first quarter of 1997 in recognition of the significant loan growth of $33.6 million from $163.1 million at March 31, 1996 to $196.7 million at March 31, 1997. Securities Transactions - The bank recognized a gain on security transactions for the three-month period ended March 31, 1996 of $38 but had no security sales during the first quarter of 1997. Management sold approximately $2 million in treasury bonds in 1996 to fund loan growth and to adjust the Bank's interest rate sensitivity position. At March 31, 1997, December 31, 1996, and March 31, 1996 market value appreciation/(depreciation) in the investment portfolio totaled $(701), $202, and $149, respectively. As indicated, market value declined somewhat in 1997 due to rising market interest rates. Other Income - Other income, net of any gains/losses on security transactions, increased by 10.4% from $652 for the three-month period ended March 31, 1996 to $720 for the three-month period ended March 31, 1997 primarily due to an increase in deposit account volumes and higher merchant discount income. Other Expenses - Other expenses increased by 2.4% from $2,482 for the three-month period ended March 31, 1996 to $2,541 for the three-month period ended March 31, 1997. The major components of other expenses are salaries and employee benefits which increased 5.7% from $1,431 to $1,513; occupancy expense which decreased 9.1% from $462 to $420; and other operating expenses which increased by 3.2% from $588 to $607. Occupancy expense has declined as depreciation expense has decresed 31.3% from $243 during the first quarter of 1996 to $167 for the same period in 1997. Income Taxes - Provisions for income taxes increased 34.0% from $450 for the three-month period ended March 31, 1996 to $603 for the three-month period ended March 31, 1997. Income before income taxes less interest of tax-exempt investment securities increased by 29.4% from $1,187 for the three-month period ended March 31, 1996 to $1,536 for the same period in 1997. State tax liability increased as income before income taxes increased 24.6% from $1,377 to $1,716 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. 18 CAPITAL RESOURCES Total stockholders' equity was $35,458, $34,496, $32,195, and $28,857 at March 31, 1997, December 31, 1996, December 31, 1995, and December 31, 1994, representing 9.64%, 10.09%, 9.92%, and 9.71% of total assets, respectively. At March 31, 1997, 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. EFFECTS OF REGULATORY ACTION The management of the Company and the Bank is 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 hs 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. 19 EXHIBITS AND REPORTS ON FORM 8-K See Exhibit Index appearing below.
