FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

CNB FINANCIAL CORPORATION REPORTS FIRST QUARTER EARNINGS FOR 2008

Clearfield, Pennsylvania – April 15, 2008

CNB Financial Corporation, the parent company of CNB Bank, today announced reported earnings of $2.0 million or $0.23 diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, compared to $1.9 million or $0.22 diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of 2007. The 2008 first quarter results represent a 4.2% increase in earnings compared to the first quarter of 2007.

The increase in earnings is primarily the result of the growth in net interest income of $2.1 million or 29.6%. Partially offsetting this increase in revenue were several increases in recurring expenses particularly the provision for loan losses and salaries and benefits expense. These increases are directly correlated to the continuing growth and expansion of the Corporation.

Also offsetting the revenue growth were certain non-cash charges resulting from the adoption of the recent Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 159 on certain equity securities held by the Corporation. As a result, the change in the fair market value is now reflected on the income statement and resulted in a non-cash charge against income of $646 thousand.

William F. Falger, President & Chief Executive Officer of CNB Financial Corporation, commented, “We are very pleased with our first quarter performance, particularly the growth in assets resulting from our expansion into additional market areas. We believe we will see continued growth for the remainder of 2008 despite weakening economic conditions.”
