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), Myrtle Beach in the City of Myrtle Beach
(1995), and West Conway in Conway (1998). 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 198 full-time-equivalent
employees at its principal office and nine 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 five regional
banks, two state-wide banks, six locally owned banks in Horry County and
various other financial and thrift institutions. The regional banks with
offices in Horry County are Nationsbank, First Union National Bank, First
Citizens Bank and Trust Company, Branch Bank and Trust and Wachovia, N.A..
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, First
National South Bank, and Beach First National Bank. 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
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, and changes in the reserve requirements
against bank deposits.
2
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 Omnibus Consolidated Appropriations Act was enacted on September 30,
1996. Among the law's many provisions is a resolution of the BIF-SAIF
deposit insurance premium disparity, many regulatory burden relief
provisions and other bank-related legislation. The BIF-SAIF provisions are
contained in the Deposit Insurance Funds Act of 1996.
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.
5
DESCRIPTION OF COMPANY STOCK
General
The Company is authorized to issue 1,500,000 shares of Company Stock and as
of December 31, 1998, has 598,681 shares issued and 596,615 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.

is important to note that the Company's actual results may differ materially
and adversely from those discussed in forward-looking statements.

MATURITIES AND SENSITIVITY TO CHANGES IN INTEREST RATES
The Company's loan portfolio consisted of approximately $178,510 and
$160,088 in fixed rate loans as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
At December 31, 1998, and 1997, fixed rate loans with maturities in excess
of one year amounted to approximately $137,928 and $119,218, 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 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
1998, 1997, 1996, 1995, 1994:
December 31,
1998 1997 1996 1995 1994
Nonaccrual loans $ 422 $ 24 $ 377 $ 479 $1,062
Accruing loans which are
contractually past due
90 days or more as to
principal or interest
payments $ 100 $ 135 $ 77 $ 87 $ 55
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, 1998, 1997, and 1996 is as
follows:
1998 1997 1996
Interest included in income during the
year $ 16 $ 1 $ 7
Interest which would have been included
at the original contract rates $ 40 $ 3 $ 45
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, 1998, 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, 1998, the Company had no foreign loans
outstanding.
LOAN CONCENTRATIONS
As of the year ended December 31, 1998, 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 is 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.
The Bank's independent external auditors have revisited the facts and
circumstances regarding the investment in the COLI program and have read the
significant uncertainties requiring the recognition of a loss contingency as
of the date of this report.
The Bank's COLI policies were reinsured by Pacific Mutual during the third
quarter of 1997. Management received permission from the Office of the
Comptroller of the Currency to return this asset to accrual status and to
adjust the carrying value during the first quarter of 1998 with the total
cash surrender values totalling approximately $85,000 above the carrying
value on the bank's books.
As of December 31, 1998, the Company does not have any interest-bearing
assets that would be required to be disclosed under Item III. C. 1. or 2. if
such assets were loans.

Ratio of net charge-offs during
the period to average loans
outstanding during the period .19% .14% .14% .06% .17%
[FN]
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 $420 during 1999.

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) West Conway in Conway (3,286 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 ten
offices, the bank owns the principal office, the office at Red Hill, West
Conway, 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
two future office sites. The sites consist of approximately 1.5 acres on
Highway 17 south of Myrtle Beach in Murrells Inlet and 1.1 acres on Highway
701 north of Conway. An office is scheduled to be constructed and opened on
the Murrells Inlet property during the fourth quarter of 1999. The company
also anticipates building an office on the other site within the next three
years, depending on market conditions.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
There were no material legal proceedings against the Company or its
subsidiary, The Conway National Bank, as of December 31, 1998.
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 May 12, 1998, at the Annual Meeting of CNB Corporation, the security holders:
1) Nominated and elected four 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, 1998.
PART II
ITEM 5. MARKET PRICE OF REGISTRANT'S COMMON STOCK AND
RELATED SECURITY HOLDER MATTERS
As of December 31, 1998, there were approximately 670 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 adjusted for the effect of a 25% stock dividend paid
during 1997.
1998 1997
High Low High Low
First Quarter $90.00 $90.00 $76.80 $76.80
Second Quarter $94.00 $90.00 $84.00 $76.80
Third Quarter $94.00 $94.00 $84.00 $84.00
Fourth Quarter $99.00 $94.00 $90.00 $84.00
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 $3.50 per share in 1998, $3.00 per
share in 1997, 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 25% stock dividend in September, 1997, 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 19.9% from $184,875 at December 31, 1996 to $221,721 at December
31, 1997; and 3.3% from December 31, 1997 to $229,129 at December 31, 1998.
Loan growth is attributed to overall business development efforts to meet
business and personal loan demand in our market area. Loan demand was strong
in our market area in 1997 due to a strong local economy but slowed somewhat
in 1998. Loans, net of unearned income, increased as a percentage of total
assets from 54.1% at year-end 1996 to 58.2% at year-end 1997 and decreased
to 53.7% at year-end 1998. Correspondingly, investment securities and
federal funds sold decreased as a percentage of total assets from 38.7% at
year-end 1996 to 35.3% at year-end 1997 and increased to 39.5% at year-end
1998 as investments have been utilized to balance the growth 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 decreased from 7.2% in 1996 to 6.5% in 1996 as the Bank grew
into its expanded infrastructure but increased to 6.8% in 1998 due to a
branch office addition and $199,000 in Y-2K related hardware and software
purchases. 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 competitive
rates. Non-interest-bearing demand deposits remained flat at 14.6% at
December 31, 1996 and 14.5% at December 31, 1997 but grew to 15.6% at
December 31, 1998. 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 74.3% at December 31, 1996 and 1997 to 73.5% at December 31, 1998.
The following table sets forth the percentage relationship to total assets
of significant components of the Company's balance sheet as of December 31,
1998, 1997 and 1996:

Results of Operation
CNB Corporation and subsidiary experienced earnings in 1998, 1997 and 1996
of $5,508, $4,807,and $4,084, respectively, resulting in a return of average
assets of 1.33%, 1.28%, and 1.19% and a return on average stockholders'
equity of 13.70%, 13.17% and 12.15%. 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 $426,359 at December 31, 1998 as compared to $381,144 at
December 31, 1997 and $341,818 at December 31, 1996. The following table
sets forth the financial highlights for fiscal years 1998, 1997, and 1996.

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 1998, 1997 and 1996
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 $14,298 in 1996 and $16,363 in 1997 to
$17,371 in 1998. During the three-year period, total fully-tax-equivalent
interest income increased by 13.1% from $24,877 in 1996 to $28,127 in 1997
and increased 8.1% in 1998 to $30,401. Over the same period, total interest
expense increased by 11.2% from $10,579 in 1996 to $11,764 in 1997 and
increased 10.8% to $13,030 in 1998. Fully-tax-equivalent net interest
income as a percentage of average total earning assets increased from 4.5%
in 1996 to 4.7% in 1997 and decreased back to 4.5% in 1998. The increase
was reflective of strong loan growth and higher loan to deposit ratios.
Interest rates paid on deposits and borrowed funds and earned on loans and
investments have generally followed the fluctuations in market interest
rates in 1998, 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 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 static gap 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 $680 in
1998, $800 in 1997 and $360 in 1996. Net loan charge-offs totalled $427 in
1998, $291 in 1997, and $232 in 1996 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 1.39% at December 31, 1998, 1.32% at
December 31, 1997, and 1.30% at December 31, 1996.
Securities Transactions - Net unrealized gains/(losses) in the investment
securities portfolio were $1,358 at December 31, 1998, $983 at December 31,
1997, and $202 at December 31, 1996. The market value of investment
securities rose in 1996, 1997, and 1998 as overall market rates declined.
Security gains/(losses) of $(28) and $41 were taken in 1997 and 1996,
respectively, when bonds were sold to provide additional primary liquidity
and to manage the bank's interest rate sensitivity position. No security
gains/(losses) were taken in 1998.
Other Income - Other income, net of security sales, increased by 15.7%
from $2,974 in 1996 to $3,441 in 1997 and grew 14.3% from $3,441 in 1997 to
$3,932 in 1998. Other income rose in 1996 due to higher volumes in deposit
and loan account activity and rose significantly in 1997 and 1998 due to
continued growth in these areas compounded by a June 1, 1997 increase in
overall service charge rates. Also, 1998 other income was enhanced by the
start-up of an in-house mortgage loan department dedicated to the
origination of mortgage loans for the secondary market.
Other Expenses - Other expenses increased by 6.2% from $10,393 in 1996 to
$11,041 in 1997 and 8.1% from $11,041 in 1997 to $11,936 in 1998. The
components of other expenses are salaries and employee benefits of $6,166,
$6,591, and $7,259; occupancy and furniture and equipment expenses of
$1,759, $1,698, and $1,704; and other operating expenses of $2,468, $2,752,
and $2,973 for 1996, 1997, and 1998, respectively. The increase in
salaries and employee benefits reflects compensation increments, the
increased costs of providing employee benefits, and an increase from 180 to
198 full-time equivalent employees over the three-year period. The addition
of the Myrtle Beach office in 1995 and the West Conway office in 1998
impacted occupancy and furniture and equipment expense. Also, approximately
$106 of the budgeted "Year 2000" costs (see Year 2000) of $276 were expensed
during 1998. Looking ahead, non-interest expense should grow due to a
planned addition of an office to the bank's branch network during the fourth
quarter of 1999 and the remaining "Year 2000" expenditures.
Income Taxes - Provisions for income taxes increased 31.7% from $2,095 in
1996 to $2,760 in 1997 and 2.2% from $2,760 in 1997 to $2,821 in 1998. The
increase in income taxes is primarily due to an increase in income before
income taxes of 22.5% from $6,179 in 1996 to $7,567 in 1997 and 10.1% from
$7,567 in 1997 to $8,329 in 1998. Also, the utilization of tax-free income
as a percentage of income before income taxes declined in 1997 and 1998.
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
$4,467, $3,480, and $3,078 at December 31, 1998, 1997, and 1996 with
liabilities, consisting of cash dividends payable, totalling $2,090, $1,794, and
$1,435, respectively. In anticipation of potential "Year 2000" liquidity needs,
the bank is in the process of joining the Federal Home Loan Bank system and
obtaining additional borrowing capacity, as well as increasing short-term assets
that may be easily converted to cash. Management feels that liquidity sources
are more than adequate to meet funding needs.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
Total stockholders' equity was $41,201, $37,717, and $34,496 at December 31,
1998, 1997, and 1996, representing 9.66%, 9.90%, and 10.09% of total assets,
respectively. At December 31, 1998, 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 1996, 1997, and 1998, and should favorably impact future years
income. 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.
ACCOUNTING ISSUES
In an effort to simplify the current standards in the United States for
computing earnings per share ("EPS") and make them more compatible with
international standards, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings per Share" in February 1997. SFAS 128
applies to entities with publicly traded common stock or potential common stock
and is effective for financial statements for periods ending after December 15,
1997, including interim periods. SFAS 128 simplifies the standards for
computing EPS previously found in APB Opinion 15, "Earnings per Share." It
replaces the presentation of primary EPS with a presentation of basic EPS. It
also requires dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the
income statement for all companies with complex capital structures and requires
a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation
to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. The Company
does not have any dilutive common stock or equivalents and accordingly the
adoption of SFAS had no effect on earnings per share computations.
The FASB also issued SFAS No. 129, "Disclosure of Information about Capital
Structure" in February 1997. The purpose of SFAS 129 is to consolidate existing
disclosure requirements for ease of retrieval. SFAS 129 contains no change in
disclosure requirements for companies that were subject to the previously
existing requirements. It applies to all entities and is effective for
financial statements for periods ending after December 15, 1997.
30
ACCOUNTING ISSUES (continued)
In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income."
SFAS 130 establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income
and its components (revenues, expenses, gains, and losses) in a full set of
general purpose financial statements. SFAS 130 requires that all items that are
required to be recognized under accounting standards as components of
comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement that is displayed with
the same prominence as other financial statements. SFAS 130 requires that
companies (i) classify items of other comprehensive income by their nature in a
financial statement and (ii) display the accumulated balance of other
comprehensive income separately from retained earnings and additional paid-in
capital in the equity section of the statement of financial condition. SFAS 130
is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997.
Reclassification of financial statements for earlier periods provided for
comprehensive purposes is required. The adoption of SFAS 130 had no effect on
the Company's net income or stockholders' equity.
In June, 1997, the FASB also issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of
an Enterprise and Related Information." SFAS 131 establishes standards for the
way public enterprises are to report information about operating segments in
annual financial statements and requires those enterprises to report selected
information about operating segments in interim financial reports issued to
shareholders. It also establishes standards for related disclosures about
products and services, geographic areas, and major customers. SFAS 131
supersedes SFAS No. 14, "Financial Reporting for Segments of a Business
Enterprise." SFAS 131 becomes effective for financial statements for periods
beginning after December 15, 1997, and requires that comparative information
from earlier years be restated to conform to its requirements. The adoption of
the provisions of SFAS 131 is not expected to have a material impact on the
Company.
In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instrument
and Hedging Activities." All derivatives are to be measured at fair value and
recognized in the balance sheet as assets or liabilities. The statement is
effective for fiscal years and quarters beginning after June 15, 1999. Because
the Company does not use derivative transactions at this time, management does
not expect that this standard will have a significant effect on the Company.
YEAR 2000
The Year 2000 poses a significant challenge for financial institutions because
of the way date fields have been historically handled. Older versions of
software used a two digit year date field and assumed the first two digits of
the year date to be "19". All software applications using this dating method
must be replaced or modified to avoid computer systems reverting to the year
date of 1900 in the year 2000.
The Board of Directors early in 1997 assigned Year 2000 Project implementation
responsibility to the Electronic Data Processing (EDP) Steering Committee. The
EDP Steering Committee is comprised of the following members: President,
Executive Vice President, Vice President and Cashier, Vice President-Systems,
Vice President-Data Processing, and Assistant Vice President-Systems. The
committee meets at least quarterly with the meetings being reviewed by the Board
Audit Committee and progress reports made to the full Board. The CPA firm of
Tourville, Simpson, & Henderson has been engaged to assist in Year 2000 Plan
development, implementation, and examination.
All systems used by the bank have been identified and prioritized with a time
line established for projected dates of upgrades, replacement, certification,
and testing. Anticipated Year 2000 costs are projected to be approximately
$276,000. The majority of this amount has been spent on capital expenditures to
be expensed over the next four years. $20,000 will be spent this year on public
information and education.
All mission critical systems have been replaced or upgraded to Year 2000
compliance. All mission critical systems have been tested to ensure Year 2000
functionality. Further testing will be conducted during 1999 as deemed
appropriate. The bank has in place a Business Interruption Plan in case of
unforeseen problems or failures.
In June of this year, The Conway National Bank and The Conway Chamber of
Commerce will jointly sponsor a Year 2000 Community Forum. Participants will
include local utilities, city and county governments, social security, health
services, the post office and educational institutions. The public will have an
opportunity to hear progress reports on participants' Year 2000 projects.
The bank is currently working on its Year 2000 Contingency Plan for cash
services. This plan will anticipate and provide for the increased demand for
extra cash by customers as we approach year end.

CNB Corporation
Conway, South Carolina
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of CNB
Corporation and Subsidiary as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the related
consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders' equity,
comprehensive income and cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1998. 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, 1998 and 1997 and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1998, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

CNB CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACTIVITIES
Principles of consolidation and nature of operations
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CNB
Corporation ("the Company") and its wholly-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
The Company accounts for investment securities in accordance with Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115, "Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." This statement requires that
the Company classify debt securities upon purchase as available for sale,
held to maturity or trading. Such assets classified as available for sale
are carried at fair value. Unrealized holding gains or losses are reported
as a component of stockholders' equity (accumulated other comprehensive
income) 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. 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)
-40-
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACTIVITIES, Continued
Loans and interest income, continued
The Company accounts for impaired loans in accordance with SFAS No. 114,
"Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan". This standard requires
that all creditors value loans at the loan's 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 loan's 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.
Under SFAS No. 114, as amended by SFAS 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
reported 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. 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, 1998 and 1997, 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-offs 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 the straight-line
method. 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.
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.
(Continued)
-41-
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACTIVITIES, Continued
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 $295,000, $338,000 and $294,000 were included
in the Company's results of operations for 1998, 1997 and 1996,
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 statement purposes).
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 assets will not be realized.
Net income per share
The Company computes net income per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128,
"Earnings Per Share." Net income per share is computed on the basis of the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding, 597,452 in 1998,
598,435 in 1997, and 596,870 in 1996. The Company does not have any
dilutive instruments and therefore only basic net income per share is
presented.
In September of 1997, the Company's Board of Directors declared a five-for-
four stock split effected in the form of a 25 percent common stock
dividend. This stock was issued on September 30, 1997, to common
stockholders of record on September 12, 1997. Share and per share data
have been restated to reflect this stock split.
Fair values of financial instruments
SFAS 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.
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.
(Continued)
-42-
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACTIVITIES, Continued
Fair values of financial instruments
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.
Comprehensive income
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FSAB) issued SFAS
No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," which establishes standards for
reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in a full
set of general purpose financial statements. Under this statement, the
Company is required to classify items of "other comprehensive income" by
their nature in the financial statements. Statement 130 is effective for
both interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 1997.
Comparative financial statements provided for earlier periods were required
to be reclassified to reflect the provisions of the statement. The adoption
of SFAS 130 had no effect on the Company's net income or stockholders'
equity.
Recently issued accounting standards
In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS 131, "Disclosure about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information." SFAS 131 requires that a public
business enterprise report financial and descriptive information about its
reportable operating segments. Operating segments are components of an
enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is
evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how
to allocate resources and in assessing performance. SFAS 131 requires that
a public enterprise report a measure of segment profit or loss, certain
specific revenue and expense items, segment assets, information about the
way that the operating segments were determined and other items. The
Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997.
Management does not anticipate that adoption of SFAS 131 will have a
material effect on the Company's financial statements.
In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instrument and Hedging Activities." All derivatives are to be measured at
fair value and recognized in the balance sheet as assets or liabilities.
The statement is effective for fiscal years and quarters beginning after
June 15, 1999. Because the Company does not use derivative transactions at
this time, management does not expect that this standard will have a
significant effect on the Company.

change in unrealized net gains on securities available for sale. The related
1998 deferred tax provision of $151,000 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 Bank's off balance sheet financial instruments is
as follows as of December 31, 1998 (amounts in thousands):
Contract
amount
Commitments to extend credit $ 20,637
Standby letters of credit $ 710
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.
-49-
NOTE 11 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
At December 31, 1998, the Bank was obligated under a number of
non-cancelable operating leases on land used for branch offices and a computer
maintenance contract that had initial or remaining terms of more than one year.
Future minimum payments under these agreements at December 31, 1998 were
(tabular amounts in thousands):
Payable in year ending Amount
1999 $ 93
2000 77
2001 7
2002 5
2003 and thereafter 25
Total future minimum payments required $ 207
Lease payments under all operating leases charged to expense totaled
$56,000 in 1998, $62,000 in 1997, and $61,000 in 1996. 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 Company's financial position.
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, 1998
the Bank's retained earnings were $34,247,000.
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,
1998 and 1997, were $1,085,000 and $1,628,000, respectively. During 1998,
$55,000 of new loans were made to this group and repayments of $598,000 were
received.
-50-
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, 1998, 1997 and
1996, $378,000, $361,000, and $336,000, respectively, were charged to operations
under the plan.
Supplemental benefits are provided to certain key officers under The Conway
National Bank Executive Supplemental Income Plan (ESI) and the Long-Term
Deferred Compensation Plan (LTDC). These plans are not qualified under the
Internal Revenue Code. The plans are unfunded. However, certain benefits under
the ESI Plan 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, 1998, that
the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.
As of December 31, 1998, 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
Bank's category. The Bank's actual capital amounts and ratios and minimum
regulatory amounts and ratios are presented as follows (dollar amounts in
thousands):

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 1998, all executive officer salary
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, 1998, 1997, and 1996, $378,000, $361,000, and
$336,000, respectively, was charged to operations under the plan.
The Board of Directors of the Bank provides supplemental benefits to
certain key officers, including Willis J. Duncan, W. Jennings Duncan, Robert
P. Hucks, and Paul R. Dusenbury, under The Conway National Bank Executive
Supplemental Income (ESI) Plan and a Long-Term Deferred Compensation (LTDC)
Plan. These plans are not qualified under the Internal Revenue Code. These
plans are unfunded, however, certain benefits under the ESI Plan are
informally and indirectly funded by insurance policies on the lives of the
covered employees. 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. During 1997, the Board
approved a LTDC Plan to be finalized in 1998. Under the LTDC Plan, certain
key employees and the Board of Directors may defer a portion of their
compensation for their retirement and purchase units which are equivalent in
value to one share of the Company's stock at market value. The employee or
Director receives appreciation, if any, in the market value of the unit as
compared to the initial value per unit.

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS (continued)
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation in Compensation
Decisions
No Compensation Committee interlocks exist. The members of the
Executive Committee of the Board, which serves as the Compensation
Committee, are Charles C. Cutts (outside Director), Willis J. Duncan
(Chairman of the Board and inside Director), W. Jennings Duncan (President
and inside Director), and Dr. R.C. Smith (outside Director). Membership of
the "JESAP" Committee consists of six Bank officers.
Director Compensation
Directors who are not Bank officers received $400 for each monthly
meeting of the Board of Directors and an additional $100 for each committee
meeting attended in 1998. Effective February, 1999, Director compensation
for each committee meeting attended was increased to $150.
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, 1998, all Section 16(a)
filing requirements applicable to its officers, directors, and 10 percent
shareholders were complied with.
