CNB FINANCIAL CORPORATION REPORTS EARNINGS FOR 2007

Clearfield, Pennsylvania – February 5, 2008

CNB Financial Corporation (Nasdaq:CCNE), the parent company of CNB Bank, today announced annual earnings for the year ended December 31, 2007 of $9.1 million or $1.05 diluted earnings per share compared to $9.6 million or $1.07 diluted earnings per share for 2006, representing a 5% decrease in net income and a 2% decrease in diluted earnings per share. Net income in the fourth quarter of 2007 was $2.4 million or $0.28 diluted earnings per share compared to $2.5 million or $0.28 diluted earnings per share in the fourth quarter of 2006.

Earnings for the Corporation were impacted in the fourth quarter by an Other Than Temporary Impairment (OTTI) of a FNMA security holding. Although the Corporation is not a direct participant in the sub-prime mortgage crisis that hit the country, this security was affected by a significant drop in price even though its credit rating remained well above investment minimums. Earnings for the fourth quarter, exclusive of the net of tax OTTI charge of $585 thousand and the net of tax security gains of $278 thousand were $2.7 million, an 8.9% increase over the fourth quarter of 2006.

“2007 was an exciting year for the Corporation,” William F. Falger, President and Chief Executive Officer stated, “The opening of our first two ERIEBANK prototype stores and three more Holiday Financial Services offices has shown our commitment to the communities we serve and to the growth of the Corporation. The outlook for 2008 is very positive based on the 9% earnings growth from operations in the fourth quarter of 2007.”
