CNB FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
(UNAUDITED)
 
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and in compliance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because this report is based on an interim period, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted.
 
In the opinion of Management of the registrant, the accompanying consolidated financial statements for the quarter and nine month periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 include all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial condition and the results of operations for the period. The financial performance reported for the Corporation for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002 is not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. This information should be read in conjunction with the Corporation’s Annual Report to shareholders and Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2001.
 
COMMON STOCK PLAN
 
The Corporation has a common stock plan for key employees and independent directors. The Stock Incentive Plan, which is administered by a disinterested committee of the Board of Directors, provides for 250,000 shares of common stock in the form of qualified options, nonqualified options, stock appreciation rights or restrictive stock. Beginning in 2002, the Corporation adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board No. 123, which requires the recognition of expense at the time options are granted based on their fair value. The Corporation has not granted any options through the first nine months of 2002 and therefore has recognized no expense. In 2001, the Corporation applied Accounting Principles Board Opinion 25 and related interpretations in accounting for its common stock plan. Accordingly, no compensation expense has been recognized for the plans.
 
EARNINGS PER SHARE
 
Earnings-per-share is calculated on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. The number of shares used for basic and diluted was 3,636,222 and 3,644,031 for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2002 and 3,669,184 for basic and diluted for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2001. Stock options for 69,000 shares of common stock were considered in computing diluted earnings per common share.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
 
On October 1, 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) No. 147, Acquisitions of Certain Financial Institutions, effective for all business combinations initiated after October 1, 2002. This Statement addresses the financial accounting and reporting for the acquisition of all or part of a financial institution, except for a transaction between two or more mutual enterprises. This Statement removes acquisitions of financial institutions, other than transactions between two or more mutual enterprises, from the scope of FAS No. 72, Accounting for Certain Acquisitions of Banking or Thrift Institutions, and FASB Interpretation No. 9, Applying APB Opinions No. 16 and 17 When a Savings and Loan Association or a Similar Institution Is Acquired in a Business Combination Accounted for by the Purchase Method. The acquisition of all or part of a financial institution that meets the definition of a business combination shall be accounted for by the purchase method in accordance with FAS No. 141, Business Combinations, and FAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Upon adoption of this statement, the Corporation ceased the amortization of $10,821,000 in goodwill associated with branch acquisitions. The Corporation will continue to review the remaining goodwill on an annual basis for impairment. However, $1,340,000 in a purchased customer list intangible will continue to be amortized and reviewed for impairment in accordance with FAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. The new requirement changes the accounting for goodwill from an amortization approach to an impairment-only approach as of the effective date that FAS No. 142 was adopted, which in the Corporation’s case was January 1, 2002. As a result of complying with FAS No. 147, the company is required to restate earnings for the first and second quarters of 2002. The following table details the changes in net income and earnings per share as a result of this restatement:

ITEM 2
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
FINANCIAL CONDITION
 
The following discussion and analysis of the consolidated financial statements of the Corporation is presented to provide insight into management’s assessment of financial results. The Corporation’s primary subsidiary County National Bank (the “Bank”) provides financial services to individuals and businesses within the Bank’s market area made up of the west central Pennsylvania counties of Clearfield, Cambria, Centre, Elk, Jefferson, and McKean. County National Bank is a member of the Federal Reserve System and subject to regulation, supervision and examination by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”).
 
The market area that County National Bank operates in is rural in nature. The customer makeup consists of small business and individuals. The health of the economy in the region is mixed with unemployment rates running high in our market area except Centre County.
 
OVERVIEW OF BALANCE SHEET
 
Total assets have grown 11.4% since year-end 2001 to $660.6 million. The growth has occurred in all areas of the balance sheet. The following comments will further explain the details of the asset fluctuation.
 
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
 
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $29,976,000 at September 30, 2002 compared to $19,391,000 on December 31, 2001. This increase resulted from continued increases in consumer deposit accounts. The Corporation continues to focus on reducing the cash balance into higher yielding earning assets during the year.
 
Management believes the liquidity needs of the Corporation are satisfied by the current balance of cash and cash equivalents, readily available access to traditional funding sources, and the portion of the investment and loan portfolios that mature within one year. These sources of funds will enable the Corporation to meet cash obligations and off-balance sheet commitments as they come due.
 
SECURITIES
 
Securities increased $36.0 million or 23.5% since December 31, 2001. A major portion of the increase resulted from an opportunity to borrow money from the Federal Home Loan Bank and invest in $20 million of state and municipal bonds having similar duration. As previously mentioned, the increase in cash has been fairly dramatic during 2002. The focus has been to get these cash equivalents into higher yielding assets as opportunities occur. In addition to the $20.0 million borrowed, approximately $16.0 million of cash equivalents have been placed into the securities portfolio.
 
Also, contributing to the increase was a change in the fair market valuation of the bond portfolio. In a declining interest rate environment, bond prices generally increase. This increase gave the Corporation an unrealized gain of $5.0 million, an increase of $3.5 million over year-end. The Corporation generally buys into the market over time and does not attempt to “time” its transactions. In using this approach, the highs and lows of the market are averaged into the portfolio and minimize the overall effect of different rate environments.
 
Management monitors the earnings performance and the effectiveness of the liquidity of the securities portfolio on a regular basis through Asset / Liability Committee (“ALCO’) meetings. The ALCO also reviews and manages interest rate risk for the Corporation. Through active balance sheet management

and analysis of the securities portfolio, the Corporation maintains sufficient liquidity to satisfy depositor requirements and various credit needs of its customers.
 
LOANS
 
The Corporation’s loan demand was strong during the first nine months of 2002. The Corporation’s lending is focused in the west central Pennsylvania market and consists principally of retail lending, which includes single-family residential mortgages and other consumer lending, and commercial lending primarily to locally owned small businesses.
 
At September 30, 2002, the Corporation had $407,035,000 in loans and leases outstanding, net of unearned discount, an increase of $20,862,000 or 5.4% since December 31, 2001. The increase was caused by demand in commercial loans, including commercial mortgages. The Corporation has opened a loan production office in Cambria County to expand our abilities to lend primarily to commercial businesses. This office will primarily serve Cambria, Blair and Centre counties.
 
ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN AND LEASE LOSSES
 
The allowance for loan and lease losses as a percentage of loans increased from 1.06% at December 31, 2001 to 1.15% at September 30, 2002. The dollar amount of the reserve increased $587,000 since year-end 2001. The increase is a result of the provision of $1,260,000 expensed during the nine months less net charge-offs. The net charge-offs for the first nine months of 2002 totaled $673,000 compared to $688,000 for the same period of 2001. Increases in the provision were deemed necessary to cover the increase in loans, as well as, the loan production office focus on commercial and commercial real estate, which has contributed to a shift in our portfolio mix. Also, the overall health of the economy is not positive.
 
The adequacy of the allowance for loan and lease losses is subject to a formal analysis by the loan review staff of the Bank and is deemed to be adequate to absorb probable losses in the portfolio as of September 30, 2002. The Corporation has disclosed in its annual report on Form 10-K the process and methodology supporting the loan loss provision.
 
Management continues to closely monitor loan delinquency and loan losses. Non-performing assets, which include loans 90 or more days past due, non-accrual loans, and other real estate owned were $2,758,000 or 0.68% of total loans on September 30, 2002 compared to $2,098,000 or 0.54% on December 31, 2001.
 
FUNDING SOURCES
 
The Corporation considers deposits, short-term borrowings, and term debt when evaluating funding sources. Traditional deposits continue to be the main focus for source of funds in the Corporation reaching $539,891,000 at September 30, 2002. Deposits increased 6.6% since year-end 2001 primarily resulting from a major marketing strategy focusing on retail consumer customers as well as a general lack of consumer confidence in the economy which has pulled consumer savings dollars from mutual funds and stocks to bank deposits. The marketing strategy includes direct mailing offering consumers a free checking product as well as the offering of several new certificate of deposit products.
 
The Corporation utilizes term borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) to meet funding needs not accommodated by deposit growth. During 2002, the Corporation borrowed $20,000,000 to take advantage of opportunities existing in the bond market. Management plans to maintain access to short and long-term FHLB borrowings as an appropriate funding source. In addition, the Corporation issued $10,000,000 as part of a pooled trust preferred security. This debt issuance allowed the Corporation to provide additional capital to its subsidiary, County National Bank. The Bank needed the capital to fund its strong growth in recent periods as well as expected growth over the next several years.

SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY
 
The Corporation’s capital continues to provide a base for profitable growth. Total shareholders’ equity was $60,813,000 at September 30, 2002 compared to $54,894,000 at December 31, 2001 an increase of $5,919,000 or 10.8%. In the first nine months of 2002, the Corporation earned $6,311,000 and declared dividends of $2,766,000, a dividend payout ratio of 43.9% of net income.
 
The securities in the Corporation’s portfolio are classified as available for sale making the Corporation’s balance sheet more sensitive to the changing market value of investments. Interest rates in the first nine months of 2002 have declined dramatically. This situation has caused a fairly significant increase of $2,331,000 in accumulated other comprehensive income, included in stockholders’ equity, since December 31, 2001.
 
The Corporation has also complied with the standards of capital adequacy mandated by the banking regulators. Bank regulators have established “risk-based” capital requirements designed to measure capital adequacy. Risk-based capital ratios reflect the relative risks of various assets banks hold in their portfolios. A weight category of 0% (lowest risk assets), 20%, 50%, or 100% (highest risk assets), is assigned to each asset on the balance sheet. The Corporation’s total risk-based capital ratio of 13.04% at September 30, 2002 is above the well-capitalized standard of 10%. The Corporation’s Tier 1 capital ratio of 12.02% is above the well-capitalized minimum of 6%. The leverage ratio at September 30, 2002 was 8.66%, also above the well-capitalized standard of 5%. The Corporation is well capitalized as measured by the federal regulatory agencies. The ratios provide quantitative data demonstrating the strength and future opportunities for use of the Corporation’s capital base. Management continues to evaluate risk-based capital ratios and the capital position of the Corporation as part of its strategic decision making process.
 
LIQUIDITY AND INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY
 
Liquidity measures an organizations’ ability to meet cash obligations as they come due. The Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows presented on page 7 of the accompanying financial statements provides analysis of the Corporation’s cash and cash equivalents. Additionally, management considers that portion of the loan and investment portfolio that matures within one year as part of the Corporation’s liquid assets. The Corporation’s liquidity is monitored by the ALCO Committee, which establishes and monitors ranges of acceptable liquidity. Management feels the Corporation’s current liquidity position is acceptable.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
OVERVIEW OF THE INCOME STATEMENT
 
The Corporation had net income of $2,288,000 and $6,311,000 for the third quarter and first nine months of 2002, respectively. The earnings per diluted share for the respective periods were $0.63 and $1.73. Net income was $1,735,000 and $4,620,000 for the third quarter and first nine months of 2001, which equates to earnings per diluted share of $0.47 and $1.26, respectively. The return on average assets and the return on average equity for the nine months of 2002 are 1.32% and 14.50%.
 
INTEREST INCOME AND EXPENSE
 
Net interest income totaled $6,352,000 in the third quarter, an increase of 16.7% over the third quarter of 2001 and totaled $18,091,000 for the nine months of 2002, an increase of 13.3% compared to the prior year. Total interest income decreased during the quarter by $169,000 or 1.7% while interest expense decreased by $1,076,000 or 22.5% when compared to the third quarter of 2001. The decrease in interest income is a result of lower yields, 97 basis points, on earning assets caused by an overall decline in interest rates in the United States since June of 2001. As mentioned earlier, the rapid growth in deposits has not all been placed into higher yielding assets. Thus much of these funds are in lower yielding federal funds. Interest expense has declined significantly since the Corporation has adjusted deposit pricing to reflect the declining market rates.
 
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
 
The Corporation recorded a provision for loan and lease losses in the third quarter of $540,000 compared to the third quarter of 2001 of $270,000 and $1,260,000 for the nine months of 2002 compared to $810,000 in 2001. Increases in the provision are deemed necessary to adequately reserve for the increase in loans outstanding of $20,862,000 and the shift in the portfolio towards commercial lending. While the Corporation has maintained its sound underwriting, the shift to move commercial lending with some outside our normal market area brings the possibility of more risk. Based on managements’ evaluation of problem loans, increased charge-offs, expected growth in the loan portfolio and the overall effects of the economy, management’s analysis indicates that the allowance provision appears to be adequate.
 
NON-INTEREST INCOME
 
Non-interest income decreased $152,000 (-9.1%) and increased $467,000 (11.5%) in the third quarter and nine months of 2002, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2001. The decrease in the quarter results from a gain on sale of securities in 2001 of $258,000 with a corresponding loss in 2002 of $13,000. Increased deposit account service charges have been the primary source of the growth in non-interest income during the year. In the nine months, account service charges totaled $2,526,000 up $488,000 or 23.9% over last year. The increases in fee income were mainly derived from a new service that began in April 2001 and took approximately eight months to mature. This service provides customers with the assurance of having their checks paid and not returned when funds are not sufficient in their account. Also during 2002, income derived from the sale of mortgages is higher due to continued low mortgage rates and high levels of refinancing.
 
NON-INTEREST EXPENSE
 
Non-interest expense decreased $125,000 or 2.8% during the third quarter of 2002 and $120,000 or 0.9% in the nine months of 2002 when compared to the same periods in 2001. The decrease is attributable to SFAS No. 147 an accounting rule regarding accounting for goodwill and the related amortization expense. After adoption of the statement, the Corporation reduced amortization expense by $1,079,000 through nine months and $360,000 for the quarter.
 
RETURN ON ASSETS
 
For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, the Corporation’s return on average assets (“ROA”) totaled 1.32% up from the 1.06% recorded in 2001.

Table of Contents
 
RETURN ON EQUITY
 
The Corporation’s return on average shareholder’s equity (“ROE”) in the first nine months was 14.50% compared to 11.54% for 2001. The increase can be attributed to the Corporation’s improvement in core earnings. The continued increase in assets without adding additional capital will provide the shareholders more earnings from virtually the same capital base.
 
FEDERAL INCOME TAX EXPENSE
 
Federal income tax expense was $684,000 in the third quarter of 2002 compared to $627,000 in the third quarter of 2001. For the nine-month period comparisons, the federal tax expense was $2,098,000 in 2002 and $1,524,000 in 2001. These increases are the result of higher taxable earnings in both the third quarter and first nine months of 2002.
 
FUTURE OUTLOOK
 
Year-to-date core earnings improved when compared to the prior year and were consistent with management’s expectations. Management continues to focus on strong internal growth generated by increased market share, as well as, development of new markets via a loan production office that is serving several counties previously not in our market. The objective of this growth in earning assets and net income is increased shareholder value from future dividends and capital accumulation from retained earnings.
 
Loan demand was strong during the first nine months of 2002 and is anticipated to continue through the last quarter. Loan growth for the full year of 2002 is anticipated to be over 5% compared to yearend 2001. While loan growth is expected to continue, it may not keep pace with deposit growth, which increased at an annualized rate of 6.6% during the first half of 2002. As a result, we have implemented the previously mentioned plan to expand our commercial loan market into additional counties to help deploy these additional funds.
 
Consumer loan charge-offs in the third quarter continued to comprise the majority of the Corporation’s recent charge-offs. In the first nine months, total net charge-offs were $673,000 of which consumer net charge-offs totaled $406,000. The charge-off level for the remainder of 2002 is expected to remain constant when compared to the first nine months of 2002.
 
Enhanced non-interest income and controlled non-interest expense are important factors in the success of the Corporation and is measured in the financial services industry by the efficiency ratio, calculated according to the following: non-interest expense (less amortization of intangibles) as a percentage of fully tax equivalent net interest income and non-interest income (less non-recurring income). For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, the Corporation’s efficiency ratio was 52.46% compared to 57.08% for the same period last year.
 
The efficiency ratio improved as the level of non-interest income has increased and non-interest expense has decreased over the year. Management believes controlling the operating costs of the Corporation is imperative to the future increased profitability derived from core earnings. A strong focus by management continues to be placed on non-interest expenses during the remainder of 2002.
 
The interest rate environment will continue to play an important role in the future earnings of the Corporation. The net interest margin has remained the central focus of management as competitive pressures in the form of reduced lending rates along with the search for low cost deposits has created pressure to the margin for the industry. The Corporation has been able to increase the margin slightly. This occurrence has been aided by the sharp steepening in the yield curve. Management expects further growth in interest income coupled with managed interest costs to provide the Corporation with improved net interest income for the remainder of 2002.
 
Management concentrates on return on average equity and earnings per share valuations, plus other methods, to measure and direct the performance of the Corporation. While past results are not an indication

of future earnings, management feels the Corporation is positioned to enhance performance of normal operations through the remainder of 2002.

ITEM 3
 
QUANTITATIVE & QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
In the course of conducting business activities, the Corporation is exposed to market risk, principally interest rate risk, through the operation of the Bank.
