CNB FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES    2004 ANNUAL REPORT


Message to Shareholders

 

To Our Shareholders, Customers & Friends:

 

The year of 2004 proved to be one of accomplishment and challenge for our Corporation. The Corporation’s assets grew by 3.4% during the year primarily driven by an increase in loans outstanding of 5.2% as the regional economy of west central Pennsylvania continued a relatively slow rebound. Our strategy during the past year was to remain somewhat conservative in our approach to loan and deposit growth given the continued low interest rate environment. Deposits grew by $21.5 million or 3.7%, which along with capital growth funded our increased assets.

 

While assets grew modestly during the year, net income as reported under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (GAAP) declined by $1.2 million or 13.1%. The principal reason for this decline was a noncash after tax accounting charge of $910 thousand or $0.10 per share resulting from the write-down of perpetual preferred stock of Fannie Mae, a government sponsored entity, held in the Corporation’s available for sale securities portfolio. The value of this preferred stock is closely related to the level of interest rates for investments maturing in two years and due to the extended period of low rates, we revalued this asset based on a conservative approach to the current interpretation of accounting principles.

 

Excluding the effect of the noncash accounting related charge, our net income for 2004 on a non-GAAP operating basis was $8.8 million representing a decline of 3% from 2003. The principal reason for this decline was the increase of 8.4% in non-interest expenses. One key expense that increased was salary and benefit costs resulting from a change in staff levels and the rising cost of health benefits. We added personnel during the year to staff our Warren Loan Production Office and also in our Main Office to provide administrative support for our continuing growth and to assist in handling additional regulatory requirements. We also incurred higher legal expenses during the year related to action we initiated to protect our trademark from infringement by a newly formed bank using a similar name. We successfully prevailed in this legal action and fully absorbed the related cost in 2004. This was a necessary but unanticipated additional expense.

 

While the actions of the Federal Reserve created higher short term interest rates in the latter part of the year, the overall level of rates remained at historically low levels for most of 2004. This resulted in us experiencing a nominal growth in net interest income. While longer-term interest rates remained low, our volume of mortgages originated and sold declined significantly from the historically high level experienced in 2003 resulting in lower income from loan sales. The result was that our non-interest income, excluding the $910 thousand non-cash after tax charge discussed above, experienced a small decline.

 

I am pleased to report that our asset quality remains at a very high level and continues to strengthen. During 2004, we experienced net loan losses of $979 thousand representing 0.21% of average loans, which is consistent with 0.18% in 2003 and 0.21% in 2002 and favorable in comparison to our peer group. Another critical measurement of asset quality is non performing assets which are loans greater than ninety days past due and assets acquired through foreclosure. At year end, our

non performing assets totaled $2.7 million down from $3.2 million at year end 2003. This level of non performing assets as a percentage of total assets was 0.37% at year-end 2004 which compared very favorably to 0.53% for financial institutions of comparable asset size. Finally, total delinquent loans at year-end were 0.95% of total loans down from 1.75% at year-end 2003 and 2.12% at year-end 2002. Maintaining strong asset quality remains a core value at our institution.

 

Our overall financial performance measured by non-GAAP operating earnings yielded a return on average assets of 1.24% and a return on average equity of 13.43%. Our operating earnings showed good growth in the latter half of the year and we are anticipating this trend to carry forward in 2005. In April 2004, the Corporation declared a two and one half for one stock split in order to provide a lower market price per share and encourage trading activity. In July 2004, our stock no longer was included in the Russell 2000 Index due to the effect of the annual reconstitution of the index which resulted in institutional and mutual fund holders of our stock liquidating their positions with a resulting stock price decline. Since July, the market value increased from $13.57 per share to $15.27 at year-end, an increase of 12.5%. Also during 2004, the Corporation paid dividends totaling $0.518 per share which represented an increase of 9.7% over 2003 and using our current quarterly dividend of $0.13 per share our dividend yield is approximately 3.4%. We remain dedicated to delivering a solid level of financial performance in order to provide continuing value to our shareholders.

 

As we move forward in 2005, we will be focused on continued growth and expansion of our banking franchise. We will open a full service banking facility in Warren, Pennsylvania in order to expand our presence in that region which we have served by a Loan Production Office since late in 2003. We anticipate further expansion in 2005 by entering one or more new communities with loan production offices. We are also focused on increasing market share in our existing branch network by the continued enhancement and delivery of our products and services.

 

In closing, the Board of Directors, management and staff are proud to provide this report to you as we look forward to an exciting and rewarding year in 2005.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Unless otherwise indicated, amounts are in thousands, except per share data.

 

Business and Organization:

 

CNB Financial Corporation (the “Corporation”), is headquartered in Clearfield, Pennsylvania, and provides a full range of banking and related services through its wholly owned subsidiary, County National Bank (the “Bank”). In addition, the Bank provides trust services, including the administration of trusts and estates, retirement plans, and other employee benefit plans as well as a full range of wealth management services. The Bank serves individual and corporate customers and is subject to competition from other financial institutions and intermediaries with respect to these services. The Corporation and the Bank are subject to examination by Federal regulators. The Corporation’s market area is in the central region of the state of Pennsylvania.

 

Basis of Financial Presentation:

 

The financial statements are consolidated to include the accounts of the Corporation and its subsidiaries, County National Bank, CNB Investment Corporation, County Reinsurance Company and CNB Insurance Agency. These statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

 

Use of Estimates:

 

To prepare financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the disclosures provided, and future results could differ. The allowance for loan losses, mortgage servicing rights and fair values of financial instruments are particularly subject to change.

 

Operating Segments:

 

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“FAS”) No.131 requires disclosures about an enterprise’s operating segments in financial reports issued to shareholders. The Statement defines an operating segment as a component of an enterprise that engages in business activities that generate revenue and incur expense, and the operating results of which are reviewed by the chief operating decision maker in the determination of resource allocation and performance. While the Corporation’s chief decision makers monitor the revenue streams of the various Corporation’s products and services, operations are managed and financial performance is evaluated on a Corporation-wide basis. Accordingly, the Corporation’s business activities are currently confined to one segment which is community banking.

 

Securities:

 

When purchased, securities are classified as held to maturity, trading or available for sale. Debt securities are classified as held to maturity when the Corporation has the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. Held to maturity securities are stated at amortized cost. Debt or equity securities are classified as trading when purchased principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term. Available for sale securities are those securities not classified as held to maturity or trading and are carried at their fair market value. Unrealized gains and losses, net of deferred tax, on securities classified as available for sale are recorded as other comprehensive income. Unrealized gains and losses on securities classified as trading are included in other income. Management has not classified any debt or equity securities as trading or held to maturity.

 

The amortized cost of debt securities classified as held to maturity or available for sale is adjusted for the amortization of premiums and the accretion of discounts over the period through contractual maturity or, in the case of mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations, over the estimated life of the security. Such amortization is included in interest income from securities. Gains and losses on securities sold is based on the specific identification method.

 

Declines in the fair value of securities below their cost that are other than temporary are reflected as realized losses. In estimating other-than-temporary losses, management considers: (1) the length of time and extent that fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer, (3) and the Company’s ability and intent to hold the security for a period sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

 

Loans:

 

Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at the principal balance outstanding, net of unearned interest, deferred loan fees and costs, and an allowance for loan losses. Loans held for sale are reported at the lower of cost or market, on an aggregate basis.

CNB FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES    2004 ANNUAL REPORT


Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, cont.

 

Interest income is reported on the interest method and includes amortization of net deferred loan fees and costs over the loan term. Interest income on mortgage and commercial loans is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days delinquent unless the credit is well-secured and in process of collection. Consumer loans are typically charged off no later than 180 days past due. In all cases, loans are placed on nonaccrual or charged-off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful.

 

All interest accrued but not received for loans placed on nonaccrual is reversed against interest income. Interest received on such loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

 

Direct Lease Financing:

 

Financing of equipment, principally consisting of automobiles, is provided to customers under lease arrangements accounted for as direct financing leases. These leases are reported in loans as a net amount, consisting of the aggregate of lease payments receivable and estimated residual values, less unearned income. Income is recognized in a manner which results in an approximate level yield over the lease term.

 

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses:

 

The allowance for loan and lease losses is established through provisions for loan losses which are charged against income. Loans which are deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance account.

 

Management determines the adequacy of the allowance based on historical patterns of charge-offs and recoveries, information about specific borrower situations, industry experience, and other qualitative factors relevant to the collectability of the loan portfolio. While management believes that the allowance is adequate to absorb probable loan losses incurred at the balance sheet date, future adjustments may be necessary due to circumstances that differ substantially from the assumptions used in evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.

 

A loan is impaired when full payment under the loan terms is not expected. Impairment is evaluated in total for smaller-balance loans of similar nature such as residential mortgage, consumer, and credit card loans, and on an individual loan basis for other loans. If a loan is impaired, a portion of the allowance is allocated so that the loan is reported, net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral.

 

Premises and Equipment:

 

Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation of premises and equipment is computed principally by the straight line method. In general, useful lives range from 3 to 39 years with lives for furniture, fixtures and equipment ranging from 3 to 10 years and lives of buildings and building improvements ranging from 15 to 39 years. Amortization of leasehold improvements is computed using the straight-line method over useful lives of the leasehold improvements or the term of the lease, whichever is shorter. Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are charged to expense as incurred.

 

Foreclosed Assets:

 

Assets acquired through or in lieu of loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. If fair value declines, a valuation allowance is recorded through expense. Costs after acquisition are expensed.

 

Bank Owned Life Insurance:

 

The Corporation owns insurance on the lives of a certain group of key employees. The cash surrender value of these policies, or the amount that can be realized, is included on the consolidated statements of financial condition and any increase in cash surrender value is recorded as non-interest income on the consolidated statements of income.

 

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets:

 

Goodwill results from prior business acquisitions and represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of acquired tangible assets and liabilities and identifiable intangible assets. Goodwill is assessed at least annually for impairment and any such impairment will be recognized in the period identified.

 

Other intangible assets consist of acquired customer relationship intangible assets arising from the purchase of customer lists. They are initially measured at fair value and then are amortized over their estimated useful lives, which is 10 years.

Advertising Costs:

 

Advertising costs are generally expensed as incurred.

 

Income Taxes:

 

The Corporation files a consolidated U. S. income tax return that includes all subsidiaries except County Reinsurance Company which files a separate return. Deferred taxes are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of existing differences between the financial reporting and tax reporting bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax laws and rates. Income tax expense is the total of the current year income tax due or refundable and the changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

 

Mortgage Servicing Rights (MSR’s):

 

Servicing rights represent the allocated value of retained servicing rights on loans sold and the cost of purchased rights. Servicing assets are expensed in proportion to, and over the period of, estimated net servicing revenues. Impairment is evaluated based on the fair value of the assets, using groupings of the underlying loans as to interest rates and then, secondarily, as to loan type and investor. Fair value is determined using prices for similar assets with similar characteristics, when available, or based upon discounted cash flows using market-based assumptions. Any impairment of a grouping is reported as a valuation allowance, to the extent that fair value is less than the capitalized amount for a grouping.

 

Treasury Stock:

 

The purchase of the Corporation’s common stock is recorded at cost. Purchases of the stock are made both in the open market and through negotiated private purchases based on market prices. At the date of subsequent reissue, the treasury stock account is reduced by the cost of such stock on a first-in-first-out basis.

 

Stock Compensation:

 

The Corporation has a stock incentive plan for key employees and independent directors. The Stock Incentive Plan, which is administered by a committee of the Board of Directors, provides for up to 625,000 shares of common stock in the form of qualified options, nonqualified options, stock appreciation rights or restricted stock. For key employees, the plan vesting schedule is one-fourth of granted options per year beginning one year after the grant date with 100% vested on the fourth anniversary. For independent directors, the vesting schedule is one-third of granted options per year beginning one year after the grant date with 100% vested on the third anniversary.

 

The Corporation applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion 25 and related interpretations in accounting for its common stock incentive plan. Accordingly, no compensation expense has been recognized for the plan. Had compensation cost for the plan been determined based on the fair values at the grant dates for awards, consistent with the method of FAS No. 123, net income and earnings per share for 2004, 2003 and 2002 would have been adjusted to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

 

          2004

   2003

   2002

Net income

   As reported    $ 7,871    $ 9,057    $ 8,666
     Pro forma compensation expense      146      180      111
         

  

  

     Pro forma    $ 7,725    $ 8,877    $ 8,555

Earnings Per Share-Basic

   As reported    $ 0.86    $ 0.99    $ 0.95
     Pro forma    $ 0.85    $ 0.97    $ 0.94

Earnings Per Share - Diluted

   As reported    $ 0.86    $ 0.98    $ 0.95
     Pro forma    $ 0.84    $ 0.97    $ 0.94

 

For purposes of the pro forma calculations above, the fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions for grants issued:

 

     2004

    2003

    2002

 

Dividend yield

   3.4 %   2.8 %   4.6 %

Comprehensive Income:

 

The Corporation presents comprehensive income as part of the Statement of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity. Other comprehensive income (losses) are comprised exclusively of unrealized holding gains (losses) on the available for sale securities portfolio.

 

Earnings per Share:

 

Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding increased by the number of shares that would be issued assuming the exercise of stock options. Earnings and dividends per share are restated to reflect a 2 1/2 for 1 stock split which occurred during 2004.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents:

 

For purposes of the consolidated statement of cash flows, the Corporation defines cash and cash equivalents as cash and due from banks, interest bearing deposits with other banks, and Federal funds sold.

 

Restrictions on Cash:

 

The Bank is required to maintain average reserve balances with the Federal Reserve Bank. The average amount of these reserve balances for the year ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, was $50, which was maintained in vault cash.

 

Effect of Newly Issued But Not Yet Effective Accounting Standards:

 

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“FAS”) No. 123 (Revised 2004), Share-Based Payment. The Statement requires that compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements and that this cost be measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. FAS No. 123 (Revised 2004) covers a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements including share options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans. The Corporation will adopt FAS No. 123 (Revised 2004) on July 1, 2005 and is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Corporation’s results of operations.

 

In December 2003, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued SOP 03-3, “Accounting for Loans or Certain Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer.” SOP 03-3 applies to a loan that is acquired where it is probable, at acquisition, that a transferee will be unable to collect all contractually required payments receivable. SOP 03-3 requires the recognition, as accretable yield, the excess of all cash flows expected at acquisition over the investor’s initial investment in the loan as interest income on a level-yield basis over the life of the loan. The amount by which the loan’s contractually required payments exceed the amount of its expected cash flows at acquisition may not be recognized as an adjustment to yield, a loss accrual or a valuation allowance for credit risk. SOP 03-3 is effective for loans acquired in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2004. Early adoption is permitted. SOP 03-3 is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Corporation.

 

Loss Contingencies:

 

Loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. Management does not believe there now are such matters that will have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments:

 

Fair values of financial instruments are estimated using relevant market information and other assumptions, as more fully disclosed in a separate note. Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment regarding interest rates, credit risk, prepayments, and other factors, especially in the absence of broad markets for particular items. Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect the estimates.

 

Reclassifications:

 

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for comparative purposes.

 

2. EARNINGS PER SHARE

 

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares determined for the basic computation plus the dilutive effect of potential common shares issuable under stock options. For the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, options to purchase 58,918, 56,250 and 45,625 shares of common stock, respectively, were not considered

in computing diluted earnings per common share because they were anti-dilutive. Earnings per share calculations for all prior periods presented were restated to reflect a 2 1/2 for 1 stock split for shares owned and recorded on April 21, 2004. The computation of basic and diluted EPS is shown below (in thousands, except per share data):

The Corporation evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment on a quarterly basis, or more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation. Consideration is given to the length of time and the extent to which fair value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer, and the intent and ability of the Corporation to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. In analyzing an issuer’s financial condition, the Corporation may consider whether the securities are issued by the federal government or its agencies, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, and results of reviews of the issuer’s financial condition. The following comments relate to those securities which have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for more than twelve months.

 

Included in the $520 of unrealized losses at December 31, 2004 on investment securities that have been in continuous unrealized loss positions for 12 months or more is approximately $270 of unrealized losses on investments in preferred stock issuances of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. This amount is considered temporary in nature as the market values of these investments recovered to their adjusted carrying value shortly after year-end.

 

Unrealized losses on other securities were not individually significant and were considered to be temporary in nature.

 

On December 31, 2004 and 2003, securities carried at $44,579 and $36,099, respectively, were pledged to secure public deposits and for other purposes as provided by law.

These notes are issued under the U.S. Treasury Department’s program of investing the treasury tax and loan account balances in interest bearing demand notes insured by depository institutions. These notes bear interest at a rate of .25 percent less than the average Federal funds rate as computed by the Federal Reserve Bank. The Corporation has available a $5 million line of credit with an unaffiliated institution. Terms of the line are floating at 30 day LIBOR plus 180 basis points. The outstanding balance on the loan at year end 2004 and 2003 was $0.

 

At year end 2004, the Bank had remaining borrowing capacity with the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) of $129 million. Borrowings with the FHLB are secured by a blanket pledge of selected securities in the amount of $71,138 and certain mortgage loans with a balance of $149,357.

Subordinated Debentures and Trust Preferred Securities:

 

A trust formed by the Corporation issued $10,000 of floating rate trust preferred securities in 2002 as part of a pooled offering of such securities. The interest rate is determined quarterly and floats based on the 3 month LIBOR plus 3.45% and was 6.00% at December 31, 2004. The Corporation may redeem the debentures, in whole or in part, at face value after June 26, 2007. The Corporation issued subordinated debentures to the trust in exchange for the proceeds of the offering, which debentures represent the sole asset of the trust. The subordinated debentures must be redeemed no later than 2032.

Under FASB Interpretation No. 46, as revised in December 2003, the trust is not consolidated with the Corporation. Accordingly, the Corporation does not report the securities issued by the trust as liabilities, and instead reports as liabilities the subordinated debentures issued by the Corporation and held by the trust, as these are not eliminated in consolidation.

13. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

 

The Corporation provides a defined contribution retirement plan that covers all active officers and employees twenty-one years of age or older, employed by the Corporation for one year. Contributions to the plan for 2004, 2003 and 2002 based on current year compensation, are 6 percent of total compensation plus 5.7 percent of the compensation in excess of $88. The Corporation recognized expense of $375 in 2004, $325 in 2003, and $340 in 2002.

 

In addition, the Corporation sponsors a contributory defined contribution Section 401(k) plan in which substantially all employees participate. The plan permits employees to make pre-tax contributions which are matched by the Corporation, in 2004, 2003 and 2002, at 1% for every 1% contributed up to three percent then 0.5% for every 1% contributed up to four percent in total of the employee’s compensation. The Corporation’s contributions were $148, $171, and $169 in 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively.

 

During 2003, the Corporation adopted a non-qualified supplemental executive retirement plan (“SERP”) for certain executives to compensate those executive participants in the Corporation’s retirement plan whose benefits are limited by compensation limitations under current tax law. The SERP is considered an unfunded plan for tax and ERISA purposes and all obligations arising under the SERP are payable from the general assets of the Corporation. At December 31, 2004 and 2003, obligations of $857 and $429, respectively, were included in other liabilities for this plan. Expense related to this plan was $428 and $429 in 2004 and 2003.

 

During 2003, the Corporation established a Survivor Benefit Plan (the Plan) for the benefit of outside directors. The purpose of the plan is to provide life insurance benefits to beneficiaries of the Corporation’s board of directors who at the time of their death are participants in the plan. The plan is considered an unfunded plan for tax and ERISA purposes and all obligations arising under the plan are payable from the general assets of the Corporation. At December 31, 2004 and 2003, obligations of $226 and $103, respectively, were included in other liabilities for this plan. Expense related to this plan was $123 and $103 in 2004 and 2003.

 

The Corporation provides certain health care benefits for retired employees and their qualifying dependents. The following table sets forth the change in the benefit obligation and funded status:

     $ 83    $ 90    $ 79
    

  

  

 

The weighted average discount rate used to calculate net periodic benefit cost and the accrued post-retirement liability was 6.0% in 2004, 6.5% in 2003 and 7.0% in 2002. The health care cost trend rate used to measure the expected costs of benefits for 2005 is 7.0%, 6.0% for 2006, and 5% for 2007 and thereafter. A one percent increase in the health care trend rates would result in an increase of $70 in the benefit obligation of December 31, 2004, and would increase the service and interest costs by $11 in future periods. A similar one percent decrease in health care trend rates would result in a decrease of $69 and $10 in the benefit obligation and service and interest costs, respectively, at December 31, 2004. The presentation above for the years 2004, 2003 and 2002 reflects a policy which grants eligibility to these benefits to employees at least 60 years of age with 30 years of service.

 

14. DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLANS

 

Deferred compensation plans cover all directors and certain officers. Under the plans, the Corporation pays each participant, or their beneficiary, the amount of fees or compensation deferred plus gains or net of losses over a maximum period of 10 years, beginning with the individuals termination of service. A liability is accrued for the obligation under these plans. The expense incurred for deferred compensation for 2004, 2003 and 2002 was $39, $308 and $394, respectively, resulting in a deferred compensation liability of $908 and $933 as of year-end 2004 and 2003, respectively.

The aggregate of such loans totaled $11,047 on December 31, 2004 compared to $3,619 at December 31, 2003. During 2004, $45,871 of new loans were made and repayments totaled $38,443.

 

Deposits from principal officers, directors and their affiliates at year-end 2004 and 2003 were $2,040 and $1,720.

 

17. CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS AND RESTRICTIONS ON RETAINED EARNINGS

 

Banks and bank holding companies are subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and, additionally for banks, prompt corrective action regulations involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgements by regulators. Failure to meet capital requirements can initiate regulatory action.

 

Prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If adequately capitalized, regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits. If undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is asset growth and expansion, and capital restoration plans are required. As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, the most recent regulatory notifications categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.

Certain restrictions exist regarding the ability of the Bank to transfer funds to the Corporation in the form of cash dividends, loans or advances. Dividends payable by the Bank to the Corporation without prior approval of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) are limited to the Bank’s retained net profits for the preceding two calendar years plus retained net profits up to the dividend declaration in the current calendar year. Retained net profits are defined by the OCC as net income, less dividends declared during the periods under regulatory accounting principles. As of December 31, 2004, $1.1 million of undistributed earnings of the Bank was available for distribution to the Corporation as dividends, without prior regulatory approval.

 

18. OFF-BALANCE SHEET ACTIVITIES

 

Some financial instruments, such as loan commitments, credit lines, letters of credit, and overdraft protection, are issued to meet customer financing needs. These are agreements to provide credit or to support the credit of others, as long as conditions established in the contract are met, and usually have expiration dates. Commitments may expire without being used. Off-balance-sheet risk to credit loss exists up to the face amount of these instruments, although material losses are not anticipated. The same credit policies are used to make such commitments as are used for loans, including obtaining collateral at exercise of the commitment.

 

The contractual amount of financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk was as follows at year end:

 

     2004

   2003

     Fixed
Rate


   Variable
Rate


   Fixed

Commitments to make loans

   $ 11,108    $ 69,421    $ 14,249    $ 67,160

Unused lines of credit and

                           

letters of credit

     —        47,034      —        36,498

 

Commitments to make loans are generally made for periods of 60 days or less. The fixed rate loan commitments have interest rates ranging from 2.67% to 12.00% and maturities ranging from 3 months to 20 years.

 

19. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

Carrying amount is the estimated fair value for cash and cash equivalents, Federal Home Loan Bank stock, accrued interest receivable and payable, demand deposits, other borrowings, and variable rate loans, deposits or borrowings that reprice frequently

 

23

 

CNB FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES    2004 ANNUAL REPORT


Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, cont.

 

and fully. Security fair values are based on market prices or dealer quotes, and if no such information is available, on the rate and term of the security and information about the issuer. For fixed rate loans or deposits and for variable rate loans or deposits with infrequent repricing or repricing limits, fair value is based on discounted cash flows using current market rates applied to the estimated life and credit risk. Fair values for impaired loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis or underlying collateral values. Fair value of loans held for sale is based on market quotes. Fair value of debt is based on current rates for similar financing. The fair value of off-balance-sheet items is based on the current fees or cost that would be charged to enter into or terminate such arrangements. The fair value of off balance sheet items is not materially different from the nominal value.

 

While these estimates of fair value are based on management’s judgment of the most appropriate factors as of the balance sheet date, there is no assurance that the estimated fair values would have been realized if the assets had been disposed of or the liabilities settled at that date, since market values may differ depending on various circumstances. The estimated fair values would also not apply to subsequent dates.

 

In addition, other assets and liabilities that are not financial instruments, such as premises and equipment, are not included in the disclosures. Also, non-financial instruments typically not recognized on the balance sheet may have value but are not included in the above disclosures. These include, among other items, the estimated earnings power of core deposits, the earnings potential of trust accounts, the trained workforce, customer goodwill and similar items.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of CNB Financial Corporation as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related statements of income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the 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 Financial Corporation as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

CNB FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES    2004 ANNUAL REPORT


Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

GENERAL

 

The following discussion and analysis of the consolidated financial statements of CNB Financial Corporation (the “Corporation”) is presented to provide insight into management’s assessment of financial results. The Corporation’s 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 Cambria, Clearfield, 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 financial condition and results of operations are not intended to be indicative of future performance. The Corporation’s subsidiary, CNB Investment Corporation, is incorporated in Delaware. CNB Investment Corporation maintains investments in debt and equity securities. County Reinsurance Company, a subsidiary, is a Corporation of Arizona. County Reinsurance Company provides credit life and disability for customers of County National Bank. Finally, CNB Insurance Agency, incorporated in Pennsylvania, provides for the sale of nonproprietary annuities and other insurance products. Management’s discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes.

 

Risk identification and management are essential elements for the successful management of the Corporation. In the normal course of business, the Corporation is subject to various types of risk, including interest rate, credit, and liquidity risk. These risks are controlled through policies and procedures established throughout the Corporation.

 

Interest rate risk is the sensitivity of net interest income and the market value of financial instruments to the direction and frequency of changes in interest rates. Interest rate risk results from various repricing frequencies and the maturity structure of the financial instruments owned by the Corporation. The Corporation uses its asset/liability management policy and systems to control, monitor and manage interest rate risk.

 

Credit risk represents the possibility that a customer may not perform in accordance to contractual terms. Credit risk results from loans with customers and the purchase of securities. The Corporation’s primary credit risk is in the loan portfolio. The Corporation manages credit risk by following an established credit policy and through a disciplined evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. Also, the investment policy limits the amount of credit risk that may be taken in the securities portfolio.

 

Liquidity risk represents the inability to generate or otherwise obtain funds at reasonable rates to satisfy commitments to borrowers and obligations to depositors. The Corporation has established guidelines within its asset liability management policy to manage liquidity risk. These guidelines include contingent funding alternatives.

OVERVIEW OF BALANCE SHEET

 

The increase in assets during 2004 was primarily the result of continued growth in the loan portfolio. This growth occurred in the commercial loan area. The specific effects to each area are described in the following sections.

 

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

 

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $29.9 million at December 31, 2004 compared to $21.0 million on December 31, 2003. The cash and equivalents has various fluctuations based on timing during the month. The year end balance is considered reasonable to support the expected funding needs in the short term.

 

31

 

CNB FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES    2004 ANNUAL REPORT


Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

We believe the liquidity needs of the Corporation are satisfied by the current balance of cash and cash equivalents, readily available access to traditional funding sources, Federal Home Loan Bank financing, and the portion of the securities and loan portfolios that matures 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 decreased 6.7% since December 31, 2003. A large part of the decrease resulted from maturities of corporate bonds and principal payments from corporate mortgage backed securities. These proceeds were not reinvested in the securities portfolio as they were needed to fund the growth that occurred in the loan portfolio. As previously mentioned, securities are considered as part of the liquidity planning for any funding needs. The Corporation generally buys into the market over time and does not attempt to “time” its transactions. In doing this, the highs and lows of the market are averaged into the portfolio attempting to minimize the overall effect of different rate environments.

 

The portfolio mix stayed fairly consistent to the prior year with the exception of the corporate notes and bonds discussed above.

 

We monitor 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, we maintain a sufficient level of liquidity to satisfy depositor requirements and various credit needs of our customers.

 

LOANS

 

The Corporation’s loan volume was strong throughout 2004. Our lending is focused in the west central Pennsylvania market and consists principally of commercial and retail lending, which includes single family residential mortgages and other consumer loans. During the 4th quarter of 2003, the Bank established a loan production office in Warren, Pennsylvania which had grown to over $11.3 million dollars in total loans by the end of 2004. In addition, the Bank has focused on commercial business through the addition of several lenders and a credit analysis staff. This focus on experienced lenders coupled with quality credit analysis and review has led to solid growth in the commercial portfolio with improved asset quality. Retail loan growth has been improved with our marketing efforts related to home equity loans. This product has become the loan of choice for homeowers whenever they have borrowing needs. The increase in residential mortgages of $7.9 million is almost entirely from home equity loans and lines.

 

Contributing to the growth in loans was an increase of $18.5 million in commercial loans and $4.6 million in commercial mortgages. These loans are not concentrated in one area nor were they in a single industry. The increases helped to offset the anticipated continued paydown of our leased auto portfolio.

 

LOAN CONCENTRATION

 

The Corporation monitors loan concentrations by individual industries in order to track potential risk exposures resulting from industry related downturns. At December 31, 2004, no concentration exists within our commercial or real estate loan portfolio as related to a concentration of 10% of the total loans.

 

LOAN QUALITY

 

The Corporation has established written lending policies and procedures that require underwriting standards, loan documentation, and credit analysis standards to be met prior to funding a loan. Subsequent to the funding of a loan, ongoing review of credits is required. Credit reviews are performed annually on a minimum of 60% of the commercial loan portfolio by an outsourced loan review partner. In addition, classified assets, past due loans and nonaccrual loans are reviewed by the loan review partner semiannually and monthly by our credit administration staff. See “Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses” for further discussion of credit review procedures.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN AND LEASE LOSSES

 

The allowance for loan and lease losses is established by provisions for losses in the loan and lease portfolio as well as overdrafts in deposit accounts. These provisions are charged against current income. Loans, leases and overdrafts deemed not collectible are charged-off against the allowance while any subsequent collections are recorded as recoveries and increase the allowance.

 

The table below shows activity within the allowance account over the past three years:

The adequacy of the allowance for loan and lease losses is subject to a formal analysis by the credit administrator of the Bank. As part of the formal analysis, delinquencies and losses are monitored monthly. The loan portfolio is divided into several

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

categories in order to better analyze the entire pool. First is a selection of criticized loans that is given a specific reserve. The remaining loans are pooled, by category, into these segments:

 

Reviewed

 

    Commercial and financial

 

    Commercial mortgages

 

Homogeneous

 

    Residential real estate

 

    Installment

 

    Lease receivables

 

    Credit cards

 

    Overdrafts

 

The reviewed loan pools are further segregated into three categories: substandard, doubtful and unclassified. Historical loss factors are calculated for each pool excluding overdrafts based on the previous eight quarters of experience. The homogeneous pools are evaluated by analyzing the historical loss factors from the most previous quarter end and the two most recent year ends. The historical loss factors for both the reviewed and homogeneous pools are adjusted based on these six qualitative factors:

 

    Levels of and trends in delinquencies, non-accruals and classified loans

 

    Trends in volume and terms of loans

 

    Effects of any changes in lending policies and procedures

 

    Experience, ability and depth of management

 

    National and local economic trends and conditions

 

    Concentrations of credit

 

The methodology described above was created using the experience of our credit administrator, guidance from the regulatory agencies, expertise of our loan review partner, and discussions with our peers. The resulting factors are applied to the pool balances in order to estimate the inherent risk of loss within each pool. The results of these procedures are listed in the following chart:

 

Allocation of the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses

Total

   $ 5,585    $ 5,764
    

  

 

The results for the two years indicate higher allocations required for specific pools. This result is based on two main factors. First, the growth of our commercial loan and commercial mortgage portfolios require larger dollars to cover the associated credit risks. Secondly, economic factors both in our market area and nationwide have lead to trends of increased charge-offs in recent years.

 

With the growth of our commercial portfolios along with the unfavorable economic conditions, the Bank increased the allocation to loan loss reserve. This increase occurred through the first two quarters of 2003, at which time the Corporation determined that the loss history was not unfavorable and deemed that the coverage level was adequate. Management feels that the improved credit quality and low chargeoff history over the past twelve months will create a decrease in the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses as a percentage of total loans.

 

34

 

CNB FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES    2004 ANNUAL REPORT


Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

The Bank’s experience in net charge-offs for 2004 when compared to 2003 and 2002 was relatively unchanged in total dollars. However, as a percentage of outstanding loans, there has been a reduction in charge-offs with 2004 at 0.20% compared to 0.18% in 2003 and 0.20% in 2002. The allowance for loan and lease losses is deemed to be adequate to absorb probable incurred losses in the portfolio at December 31, 2004.

 

BANK OWNED LIFE INSURANCE

 

The Corporation purchased $6.0 million of Bank Owned Life Insurance (BOLI) in both 2002 and 2003. The policies cover executive officers and a select group of other employees with the Bank being named as beneficiary. Earnings from the BOLI assist the Corporation in offsetting its benefit costs which have increased approximately 45% between 2002 and 2004.

 

FUNDING SOURCES

 

The Corporation considers deposits, short-term borrowings, and term debt when evaluating funding sources. Traditional deposits continue to be the most significant source of funds. In addition, term borrowings from FHLB are used to meet short-term funding needs not met by deposit growth. Management plans to maintain access to short-term and long-term FHLB borrowings as an additional funding source.

 

The Corporation experienced an increase of 3.7% in deposits during 2004. Per the table below, growth was in the certificate of deposit accounts. With lower interest rates, customers are searching for insured deposits paying a reasonable rate of interest. A successful offer during the year was a CD allowing no penalty withdrawals and add-ons to principal during the period of the CD. This allows our customers flexibility in their investments at a competitive price for the Bank. One potential risk for the Bank is that these accounts can reprice immediately if customers so choose. However, the history of these accounts have shown minimal activity as to withdrawals in the portfolio. The following table reflects the Corporation’s deposits by category (in thousands):

SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

 

The Corporation’s capital provided the strong base for our profitable growth. Total shareholders’ equity increased 3.5% in 2004. The increase occurred from the earnings in excess of dividends paid of $3.1 million.

 

The Corporation has complied with the standards of capital adequacy mandated by the banking industry. 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 either 0% (lowest risk assets), 20%, 50%, or 100% (highest risk assets), is assigned to each asset on the balance sheet. The total risk-based capital ratio of 12.75% as of December 31, 2004 is well above the minimum standard of 8%. The Tier 1 capital ratio of 11.71% also is above the regulatory minimum of 4%. The leverage ratio, 9.19%, was also above the minimum standard of 4%. The Corporation is deemed to be well capitalized under regulatory industry standards as the noted ratios are above the regulatory requirements of 10%, 6% and 5%, respectively. The ratios provide quantitative data demonstrating the strength and future opportunities for use of the Corporation’s capital base. An evaluation of risk-based capital ratios and the capital position of the Corporation is a part of its strategic decision making process.

 

LIQUIDITY

 

Liquidity measures an organizations’ ability to meet cash obligations as they come due. The Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows presented on page 7 of the accompanying financial statements provide analysis of the Corporation’s cash and cash equivalents and the sources and uses of cash. Additionally, the portion of the loan portfolio that matures within one year and maturities within one year in the investment portfolio are considered part of the liquid assets. Liquidity is monitored by the

ALCO which establishes and monitors ranges of acceptable liquidity. Also, the Bank is a member of FHLB. This relationship provides the Bank with a borrowing line of $169 million with only $40 million outstanding at year end 2004. Management feels the Corporation’s current liquidity position is acceptable.

 

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004

 

OVERVIEW OF THE INCOME STATEMENT

 

In 2004, net income was $7,871,000 which is a decrease of 13.1% compared to 2003 net income of $9,057,000. The decrease in earnings is the result of a one time non-cash charge for impairment of a security. The impairment, net of tax, of $910,000 was based on generally accepted accounting principles and does not reflect management’s expectation for the long term value of this investment grade security.

 

Operating earnings, net of the impairment charge, were $8,781,000 or a decrease in earnings of 3.0% compared to 2003. The decrease in earnings was primarily the reduction in the net interest margin of 9 bps. When applied to our average earning assets for 2004, this reduction of margin from 2003 equates to a loss of $586,000 in net interest income.

 

INTEREST INCOME AND EXPENSE

 

Net interest income totaled $24,345,000 for 2004, an increase of 0.7% compared to 2003. The increase in the net interest income stems from an improved level of average earning assets. The increase in average earning assets was $21,415,000. Total interest income for 2004 decreased by $113,000 or (0.3)% while interest expense decreased by $272,000 or (2.0)% when compared to 2003. The main cause of the decreased net interest margin is the more significant drop in the yield on earning assets. Our cost of funds have reached the low end under the current rate environment while assets are just reaching the bottom of the rate cycle.

 

The Corporation recorded a provision for loan and lease losses of $800,000 for 2004 compared to $1,535,000 for 2003. The decrease in provision is a result of the relatively low level of charge-offs that the Bank has experienced over the past 3 years. Also, the overall credit quality of existing assets continues to show improvement as discussed in the Loan Quality and Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses sections. The provision has given the Bank a 1.16% coverage of loans compared to 1.26% in 2003.

 

NON-INTEREST INCOME

 

Total non-interest income was negatively affected by a $1,400,000 before tax non-cash charge for write-down of an other-than-temporarily impaired security. Non-interest income excluding this one time non-cash charge showed a modest decrease of (1.6)% over 2003. The primary factor driving the decrease was a reduction in gain on sale of loans in 2004 compared to 2003. The volume of new and refinanced mortgage generation declined significantly in 2004. This was a direct result in the stabilization of interest rates during the year when compared to the steadily dropping rate scenario in 2003.

 

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

 

The costs associated with operating the Corporation increased by 7.8% to $19,332,000 during 2004 compared to 2003. These costs include but are not limited to salaries, benefits, supplies, data processing expenses, insurance, occupancy, and amortization expenses. The primary factor in the increase is employee related costs which increased $685,000 or 7.4% over 2003. Driving this increase were the Corporation’s health care costs which increased approximately $363,000 as compared to 2003. The remainder is from additional personnel who were hired in late 2003 to staff the Warren Loan Production office and normal compensation increases that occur throughout each year.

 

The Bank signed a letter of intent to purchase a new office in Warren, PA. This office will provide full service banking and house our existing loan production staff. The estimated total cost of this project is $1,250,000. The building is expected to be completed by the fourth quarter of 2005. The cost associated will cause a slight increase in the annual occupancy expense along with additional employee costs as we staff the office.

CNB FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES    2004 ANNUAL REPORT


Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2003

 

OVERVIEW OF THE INCOME STATEMENT

 

In 2003, net income was $9,057,000 an increase of 4.5% compared to 2002 net income of $8,666,000. The increase in earnings is the result of enhanced noninterest income, which increased $1,098,000 over 2002.

 

INTEREST INCOME AND EXPENSE

 

Net interest income totaled $24,186,000 for 2003, a decrease of (1.4)% compared to 2002. The decline in the net interest income stems primarily from a reduced tax equivalent net interest margin which was 4.04% in 2003 compared to 4.29% in 2002. Total interest income for 2003 decreased by $2,150,000 or (5.4)% while interest expense decreased by $1,801,000 or (11.8)% when compared to 2002. The main cause of the decreased net interest margin is the more significant drop in the yield on earning assets. Our cost of funds are virtually as low as possible under the current rate environment while assets continued to price downward.

 

The Corporation recorded a provision for loan and lease losses of $1,535,000 for 2003 compared to $1,800,000 for 2002. The decrease in provision is a result of the relatively low level of charge-offs that the Bank has experienced over the past 3 years. The provision has given the Bank a 1.26% coverage of loans compared to 1.20% in 2002.

 

NON-INTEREST INCOME

 

Non-interest income increased 18.2% over 2003 providing the Corporation with its growth in earnings for the year. All areas had increases. The gain on sale of loans increased 97.6% or $241,000. This was driven by refinancings of residential mortgages to take advantage of lower interest rates. Also, the Corporation began selling fixed annuities in 2003 and earned $259,000. Finally, security gains increased $277,000 over 2002. The gains are comparable to gains taken in 2001. Two sales were responsible for the majority of the gains. First, a corporate bond that had suffered a downgraded rating was sold at a profit of $151,000. Second, several equity securities were sold to take advantage of some high value positions.

 

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

 

The costs associated with operating the Corporation increased by 3.6% to $17,925,000 during 2003 compared to 2002. These costs include but are not limited to salaries, benefits, supplies, data processing expenses, insurance, occupancy, and amortization expenses. The primary factor in the increase is the cost of employee benefits. These costs increased $513,000 or 24.9% over 2002. A new supplemental retirement plan was established in 2003 to provide retirement benefits to key employees at an increase cost of $429,000. This cost was offset by income from an investment utilized to fund increasing benefit costs (see Bank Owned Life Insurance). This investment earned the Corporation $488,000 of tax free earnings.

 

RETURN ON EQUITY

 

The return on average shareholder’s equity (“ROE”) for 2004 was 12.04% compared to 14.79% and 14.83% for 2003 and 2002 respectively. The decrease in 2004 can be attributed to the non-cash charge for impairment as previously discussed. ROE was 13.43% for 2004 excluding the effects of the $910,000 non-cash charge for impairment of a security.

 

RETURN ON ASSETS

 

The Corporation’s return on average assets (“ROA”) was 1.11%, 1.24% on an operating basis, in 2004 down from 1.31% in 2003 and 1.35% recorded in 2002. Decreased ROA can be attributed to the growth in assets outpacing the growth in earnings including the effects of the non-cash charge for impairment as previously discussed.

 

FEDERAL INCOME TAX EXPENSE

 

Federal income taxes decreased to $1,964,000 in 2004 compared to $2,805,000 in 2003. The effective tax rates were 19.9%, 23.6% and 24.4% for 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

 

MARKET RISK MANAGEMENT

 

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in the fair value of financial instruments due to changes in interest

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

rates, exchange rates, and equity prices. As a financial institution, the Corporation is primarily sensitive to the interest rate risk component. Changes in interest rates will affect the levels of income and expense recorded on a large portion of the Bank’s assets and liabilities. Additionally, such fluctuations in interest rates will impact the market value of all interest sensitive assets. The Asset/Liability Committee (ALCO) is responsible for reviewing the interest rate sensitivity position and establishing policies to control exposure to interest rate fluctuations. The primary goal established by this policy is to increase total income within acceptable risk limits.

 

The Corporation monitors interest rate risk through the use of two models: earnings simulation and static gap. Each model standing alone has limitations, however taken together they represent a reasonable view of the Corporation’s interest rate risk position.

 

STATIC GAP: Gap analysis is intended to provide an approximation of projected repricing of assets and liabilities at a point in time on the basis of stated maturities, prepayments, and scheduled interest rate adjustments within selected time intervals. A gap is defined as the difference between the principal amount of assets and liabilities which reprice within those time intervals. The cumulative one year gap at December 31, 2004 was 7.72% of total earning assets compared to policy guidelines of plus or minus 15.0%. The ratio was 10.78% at December 31, 2003.

 

Fixed rate securities, loans and CDs are included in the gap repricing based on time remaining until maturity. Mortgage prepayments are included in the time frame in which they are expected to be received.

 

Certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis presented in Static Gap. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods to repricing, they may not react correspondingly to changes in market interest rates. Also, the interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate with changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types of assets may lag behind changes in market rates. Additionally, certain assets, such as adjustable-rate loans, have features, like annual and lifetime rate caps, which restrict changes in interest rates both on a short-term basis and over the life of the asset. Further, in the event of a change in interest rates, prepayment and early withdrawal levels would likely deviate from those assumed in the table. Finally, the ability of certain borrowers to make scheduled payments on their adjustable-rate loans may decrease in the event of an interest rate increase.

 

EARNINGS SIMULATION: This model forecasts the projected change in net income resulting from an increase or decrease in the level of interest rates. The model assumes a one time shock of plus or minus 200 basis points or 2%.

 

The model makes various assumptions about cash flows and reinvestments of these cash flows in the different rate environments. Generally, repayments, maturities and calls are assumed to be reinvested in like instruments and no significant change in the balance sheet mix is assumed. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates which would produce significant differences in the calculated projected change in income. The limits stated above do not necessarily represent measures that would be taken by management in order to stabilize income results. The instruments on the balance sheet do react at different speeds to various changes in interest rates as discussed under Static Gap. In addition, there are strategies available to management that minimize the decline in income caused by a rapid rise in interest rates.

 

The following table below summarizes the information from the interest rate risk measures reflecting rate sensitive assets to rate sensitive liabilities at December 31, 2004 and 2003:

 

     2004

    2003

 

Static 1-Yr. Cumulative Gap

- 200 bps vs. Stable Rate

   6.90 %   (7.35 )%

+200 bps vs. Stable Rate

   (3.53 )%   (5.62 )%

 

The interest rate sensitivity position at December 31, 2004 was asset sensitive in the short-term. Management measures the potential impact of significant changes in interest rates on both earnings and equity. By the use of computer generated models, the potential impact of these changes has been determined to be acceptable with modest affects on net income and equity given an interest rate shock of an increase or decrease in rates of 2.0%. We continue to monitor the interest rate sensitivity through the ALCO and use the data to make strategic decisions.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

FUTURE OUTLOOK

 

Management’s focus for 2005 is to maintain a favorable cost of funds. During analysis showing CNB versus our peer group, it was noted that we compare well in all other areas. Management will approach this focus from all aspects including acquiring more demand deposit accounts and lowering the cost of funds for our certificates of deposit.

 

In 2004, the Bank began offering wealth management services. In just six months, the program has more than $5.2 million under management. Earnings from this program are expected to eclipse 5% of non-interest income in 2005. Management continues to be encouraged by the growth in market areas served by the Bank. In addition to deposits, the traditional funding source for the Corporation, we will continue to manage potential earning enhancement opportunities using other borrowings with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh. There are certain interest rate environments that allow for pricing opportunities from such borrowings.

 

Loan growth was moderate during 2004. Expectations for 2005 is projected moderate growth while continuing to improve overall credit quality. While the main focus for 2005 is cost of funds, the Bank will continue to use a loan pricing approach that projects a return on investment for each proposal. This discipline has given the Bank profitable growth in its loan portfolio.

 

During 2002, the Bank established a loan production office (LPO) in Johnstown, Pennsylvania and in 2003, another LPO was established in Warren, Pennsylvania. By the end of 2004, the Johnstown and Warren LPO’s have grown to $62.2 million and $11.3 million, respectively, in total loans. During 2005, the Bank may develop additional LPO’s as a low cost profitable means to enter new markets.

 

Non-interest income should be enhanced in several areas including improved mortgage sale income, trust fees, and as previously mentioned, wealth management fees. A known area of increased costs will be the personnel and occupancy costs related to the 2005 opening of a full-service branch in Warren, Pennsylvania. As mentioned above, the Bank successfully entered the Warren market in 2003 with a LPO and earnings from this venture will help the Corporation offset the cost of the new full-service branch.

 

The interest rate environment always plays an important role in the future earnings of the Corporation. The net interest margin in 2004 declined compared to 2003 as a result of a drop in yield on earning assets. Management will closely monitor the net interest margin in 2005 as much of the earnings of the Corporation continue to be derived from interest income. To assist the net interest margin, the previously mentioned consumer loan focus should provide higher yields overall. Funding for expected loan growth may come from the investment portfolio which again will shift assets to a higher yielding product.

 

Management concentrates on return on average equity and earnings per share evaluations, plus other methods to measure and direct the performance of the Corporation. While past results are not an indication of future earnings, we feel the Corporation is positioned to enhance performance of normal operations through 2005.

 

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND COMMITMENTS

 

The Corporation has various financial obligations, including contractual obligations and commitments, that may require future cash payments.

 

Contractual Obligations: The following table presents, as of December 31, 2004, significant fixed and determinable contractual obligations to third parties by payment date. Further discussion of the nature of each obligation is included in the referenced note to the consolidated financial statements.

CNB FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES    2004 ANNUAL REPORT


Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

The Corporation’s operating lease obligations represent short and long-term lease and rental payments for facilities.

 

The Corporation also has obligations under its postretirement plan as described in Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements. The postretirement benefit payments represent actuarially determined future benefit payments to eligible plan participants. The Corporation reserves the right to terminate the postretirement benefit plan at any time.

 

Commitments to extend credit, including loan commitments, standby letters of credit, and commercial letters of credit do not necessarily represent future cash requirements, in that these commitments often expire without being drawn upon. Further discussion of these commitments is included in Note 18 to the consolidated financial statements.

 

APPLICATIONS OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The Corporation’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and follow general practices within the industries in which it operates. Application of these principles requires management to make estimates or judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements; accordingly, as this information changes, the financial statements could reflect different estimates or judgments. Certain policies inherently have a greater reliance on the use of estimates, and as such have a greater possibility of producing results that could be materially different than originally reported. Estimates or judgments are necessary when assets and liabilities are required to be recorded at fair value, when a decline in the value of an asset not carried on the financial statements at fair value warrants an impairment write-down or valuation reserve to be established, or when an asset or liability needs to be recorded contingent upon a future event. Carrying assets and liabilities at fair value inherently results in more financial statement volatility. The fair values and the information used to record valuation adjustments for certain assets and liabilities are based either on quoted market prices or are provided by other third party sources, when available. When third-party information is not available, valuation adjustments are estimated in good faith by management primarily through the use of internal cash flow modeling techniques.

 

The most significant accounting policies followed by the Corporation are presented in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements. These policies, along with the disclosures presented in the other financial statement notes and in this financial review, provide information on how significant assets and liabilities are valued in the financial statements and how those values are determined. Management views critical accounting policies to be those which are highly dependent on subjective or complex judgments, estimates and assumptions, and where changes in those estimates and assumptions could have a significant impact on the financial statements. Management currently views the determination of the allowance for loan losses, fair value of securities and the valuation of mortgage servicing assets to be critical accounting policies.
