CNB FINANCIAL CORPORATION REPORTS RECORD EARNINGS FOR 2006

Clearfield, Pennsylvania – January 22, 2007

CNB Financial Corporation (Nasdaq:CCNE), the parent company of CNB Bank, today announced record annual earnings for the year ended December 31, 2006 of $9.6 million or $1.07 diluted earnings per share compared to $9.1 million or $1.00 diluted earnings per share for 2005, representing a 5.3% increase in net income and a 7.0% increase in diluted earnings per share. Net income in the fourth quarter of 2006 was $2.5 million or $0.28 diluted earnings per share compared to $2.5 million or $0.27 diluted earnings per share in the fourth quarter of 2005.

William F. Falger, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We are very pleased to announce our record annual earnings which were driven by solid growth in our net interest income. Net interest income grew at a rate of 9.1% during the year resulting primarily from interest income from loans as our net loans outstanding grew at a rate of 7.1%.”

Mr. Falger also stated, “Our loan performance during 2006 was enhanced by growth in the Erie, Pennsylvania market through CNB Bank’s ERIEBANK division as well as growth in the Warren, Pennsylvania market resulting from the opening of our full service office in that community. Also, during the year we added three new offices for our consumer discount company, Holiday Financial Services, which provided additional loan growth. In addition to the loan growth, we realized deposit growth of $12.8 million, or 2.1%. Finally, we were pleased to be able to maintain our asset quality with nonperforming assets at 0.23% of year end assets compared to 0.28% at the end of 2005.”

(1) On April 18, 2006, the shareholders of the Corporation voted to change from $1.00 par value to no par stock. The change had no effect on the dollar amount of total shareholder’s equity and simply resulted in a reclassification between the common stock and additional paid in capital line items.
