Depreciation and amortization of bank premises and equipment charged to operating expense was $208 and $630 for the quarter ended and the nine-month period ended September 30, 2004, respectively and $739 for the year ended December 31, 2003.
At September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, certificates of deposit of $100,000 or more included in time deposits totaled approximately $106,809 and $86,975 respectively. Interest expense on these deposits was approximately $536 and $1,474 for the quarter ended and the nine-month period ended September 30, 2004, respectively, and $1,929 for the year ended December 31, 2003.
NOTE 7 - SECURITIES SOLD UNDER REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS
At September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, securities sold under repurchase agreements totaled $32,700 and $24,760. Securities with a book value of $43,752 ($44,702 market value) and $34,100 ($35,341 market value), respectively, are used as collateral for the agreements. The weighted-average interest rate of these agreements was 1.31 percent and .96 percent at September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003.
NOTE 8 - LINES OF CREDIT
At September 30, 2004, the Bank had unused short-term lines of credit to purchase Federal Funds from unrelated banks totaling $27,000. These lines of credit are available on a one to seven day basis for general corporate purposes of the Bank. All of the lenders have reserved the right to withdraw these lines at their option.
The Bank has a demand note through the U.S. Treasury, Tax and Loan system with the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond. The Bank may borrow up to $7,000 under the arrangement at a variable interest rate. The note is secured by bonds with a market value of $6,042 at September 30, 2004. The amount outstanding under the note totalled $1,541 and $970 at September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively.
The Bank also has a line of credit from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta for $69,615 secured by a lien on the Bank's 1-4 family mortgages. Allowable terms range from overnight to twenty years at varying rates set daily by the FHLB. The amount outstanding under the agreement totalled $0 and $0 at September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively.
NOTE 9 - INCOME TAXES
Income tax expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2004 and September 30, 2003 on pretax income of $3,402 and $3,120 totalled $935 and $1,002 respectively. Income tax expense for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2004 and September 30, 2003 on pretax income of $9,516 and $8,794 totalled $3,007 and $2,770 respectively. The provision for federal income taxes is calculated by applying the 34% statutory federal income tax rate and increasing or reducing this amount due to any tax-exempt interest, state bank tax (net of federal benefit), business credits, surtax exemption, tax preferences, alternative minimum tax calculations, or other factors. A summary of income tax components and a reconciliation of income taxes to the federal statutory rate are included in fiscal year-end reports.
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes".
12
NOTE 10 - OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
From time to time the bank subsidiary is a party to various litigation, both as plaintiff and as defendant, arising from its normal operations. No material losses are anticipated in connection with any of these matters at September 30, 2004.
In the normal course of business, the bank subsidiary is party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk including commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Such instruments have elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet. The exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other parties to the financial instruments for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual notional amount of those instruments. Generally, the same credit policies used for on-balance-sheet instruments, such as loans, are used in extending loan commitments and standby letters of credit.
Following are the off-balance-sheet financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk:
|
|
Sept. 30, 2004 |
Loan commitments involve agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and some involve payment of a fee. Many of the commitments are expected to expire without being fully drawn. Therefore, the total amount of loan commitments does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Each customer's creditworthiness is evaluated on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if any, upon extension of credit is based on management's credit evaluation of the borrower. Collateral held varies but may include commercial and residential real properties, accounts receivable, inventory and equipment.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing standby letters of credit is the same as that involved in making loan commitments to customers. Many letters of credit will expire without being drawn upon and do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.
Management believes that its various sources of liquidity provide the resources necessary for the bank subsidiary to fund the loan commitments and to perform under standby letters of credit, if the need arises. Neither the Company nor the Bank are involved in other off-balance sheet contractual relationships or transactions that could result in liquidity needs or other commitments or significantly impact earnings.
NOTE 11 - EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN
The Bank has a defined contribution pension plan covering all employees who have attained age twenty-one and have a minimum of one year of service. Upon ongoing approval of the Board of Directors, the Bank matches one hundred percent of employee contributions up to three percent of employee salary deferred and fifty percent of employee contributions in excess of three percent and up to five percent of salary deferred. The Board of Directors may also make discretionary contributions to the Plan. For the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2004 and year ended December 31, 2003, $144, $436, and $558, respectively, was charged to operations under the plan.
NOTE 12 - REGULATORY MATTERS
The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary - actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the financial statements. The regulations require the Bank to meet specific capital adequacy guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital classification is also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.
13
NOTE 12 - REGULATORY MATTERS (continued)
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the maintenance of minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of Tier I capital to adjusted total assets (Leverage Capital ratio) and minimum ratios of Tier I and total capital to risk-weighted assets. To be considered adequately capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must maintain minimum Tier I leverage, Tier I risk-based and total risked-based ratios as set forth in the table. The Bank's actual capital ratios are presented in the table below as of September 30, 2004:

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(All dollar amounts in
thousands, except per share data.)
Management's Discussion and Analysis is provided to afford a clearer understanding of the major elements of the corporation's results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, and capital resources. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the corporation's financial statements and notes thereto and other detailed information appearing elsewhere in this report. In addition, the results of operations for the interim periods shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the fiscal year. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include all accounts of the Company and the Bank. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements at September 30, 2004 and for the three-month and nine-month periods ending September 30, 2004 and 2003 have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q for the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
14
DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
The Company maintains a conservative approach in determining the distribution of assets and liabilities. Loans have increased 15.1% from $343,210 at September 30, 2003 to $395,006 at September 30, 2004 and have increased as a percentage of total assets from 55.6% to 58.0% over the same period as loan demand has strengthened in our market. Securities and federal funds sold have decreased as a percentage of total assets from 37.7% at September 30, 2003 to 34.1% at September 30, 2004. This level of investments and federal funds sold provides for a more than adequate supply of secondary liquidity. Management has sought to build the deposit base with stable, relatively non-interest-sensitive deposits by offering the small to medium deposit account holders a wide array of deposit instruments at competitive rates. Non-interest-bearing demand deposits increased as a percentage of total assets from 17.5% at September 30, 2003 to 18.7% at September 30, 2004. As more customers, both business and personal, are attracted to interest-bearing deposit accounts, we expect the percentage of demand deposits to decline over the long-term. Interest-bearing deposits have decreased slightly from 65.8% of total assets at September 30, 2003 to 65.5% at September 30, 2004 while securities sold under agreement to repurchase have declined from 5.2% to 4.8% over the same period.
The following table sets forth the percentage relationship to total assets of significant components of the corporation's balance sheet as of September 30, 2004 and 2003:

RESULTS OF OPERATION
CNB Corporation experienced earnings for the three-month period ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 of $2,467 and $2,118, respectively, resulting in a return on average assets of 1.47% and 1.38% and a return on average stockholders' equity of 14.50% and 12.89%.
CNB Corporation experienced earnings for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 of $6,509 and $6,024, respectively, resulting in a return on average assets of 1.34% and 1.37% and a return on average stockholders' equity of 12.96% and 12.54%.
The earnings were primarily attributable to net interest margins in each period (see Net Income-Net Interest Income). Other factors include management's ongoing effort to maintain other income at adequate levels (see Net Income - Other Income) and to control other expenses (see Net Income - Other Expenses). This level of earnings, coupled with a conservative dividend policy, have supplied the necessary capital funds to support the growth in total assets. Total assets have increased $63,577 or 10.3% from $616,816 at September 30, 2003 to $680,393 at September 30, 2004. The following table sets forth the financial highlights for the three-month and nine-month periods ending September 30, 2004 and September 30, 2003:

For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2004 and September 30, 2003, average total assets amounted to $649,870 and $585,555 with average stockholders' equity totaling $66,972 and $64,066 respectively.
16
NET INCOME
Net Interest Income - Earnings are dependent to a large degree on net interest income, defined as the difference between gross interest and fees earned on earning assets, primarily loans and securities, and interest paid on deposits and borrowed funds. Net interest income is effected by the interest rates earned or paid and by volume changes in loans, securities, deposits, and borrowed funds.
Interest rates paid on deposits and borrowed funds and earned on loans and investments have generally followed the fluctuations in market interest rates in 2004 and 2003. However, fluctuations in market interest rates do not necessarily have a significant impact on net interest income, depending on the bank's rate sensitivity position. A rate sensitive asset (RSA) is any loan or investment that can be repriced either up or down in interest rate within a certain time interval. A rate sensitive liability (RSL) is an interest paying deposit or other liability that can be repriced either up or down in interest rate within a certain time interval. When a proper balance between RSA and RSL exists, market interest rate fluctuations should not have a significant impact on earnings. The larger the imbalance, the greater the interest rate risk assumed by the bank and the greater the positive or negative impact of interest rate fluctuations on earnings. The bank seeks to manage its assets and liabilities in a manner that will limit interest rate risk and thus stabilize long-run earning power. Management believes that a rise or fall in interest rates will not materially effect earnings.
The Bank has maintained net interest margins for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2004, of 4.20% and 4.21%, respectively, and 4.18% and 4.31%, respectively, for the same periods in 2003 as compared to management's long-term target of 4.50%. Net interest margins have been compressed at the bank and industry-wide, as we are experiencing almost fifty-year lows in market interest rates. We anticipate interest rates to increase in the latter part of 2004 and into 2005 which should enhance our earnings potential through a wider net interest margin.
Fully-tax-equivalent net interest income showed a 10.0% increase from $5,966 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2003 to $6,565 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2004. During the same period, total fully-tax-equivalent interest income increased by 8.1% from $7,716 to $8,339 and total interest expense increased by 1.4% from $1,750 to $1,774. Fully-tax-equivalent net interest income as a percentage of total earning assets has shown an increase of .02% from 4.18% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2003 to 4.20% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2004.
Fully-tax-equivalent net interest income showed a 7.7% increase from $17,660 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003 to $19,025 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2004. During the same period, total fully-tax-equivalent interest income increased by 3.5% from $23,247 to $24,068 and total interest expense decreased by 9.7% from $5,587 to $5,043. Fully-tax-equivalent net interest income as a percentage of total earning assets has shown a decrease of .10% from 4.31% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003 to 4.21% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2004.

NET INCOME (continued)
Provision for Possible Loan Losses - It is the policy of the bank to maintain the allowance for possible loan losses at the greater of 1.20% of net loans or a percentage based on a level to cover potential losses identified in the portfolio.
The provision for possible loan losses was $315 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2004 and $250 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2003. Net loan charge-offs/(recoveries) totaled $288 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2004 and $316 for the same period in 2004.
The provision for possible loan losses was $760 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2004 and $750 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003. Net loan charge-offs/(recoveries) totalled $396 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2004 and $407 for the same period in 2003.
The allowance for possible loan losses as a percentage of net loans was 1.25% at September 30, 2004 and 1.33% at September 30, 2003. The increased provisions during the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2004 reflect the continued strong loan portfolio growth.
Securities Transactions - At September 30, 2004, December 31, 2003, and September 30, 2003 market value appreciation in the investment portfolio totalled $2,806, $4,820, and $5,604, respectively. As indicated, market values have decreased due to higher market interest rates in 2004. Security gains of $154 were taken during the first quarter of 2003 to supplement liquidity and to take advantage of a steeply-sloping yield curve.
Other Income - Other income, net of any gains/losses on security transactions, increased by 8.7% from $1,662 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2003 to $1,806 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2004.
Other income, net of any gains/losses on security transactions, increased by 7.0% from $4,471 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003 to $4,786 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2004.
This increase in the three-month and nine-month period ended September 30, 2004 other income was due to an increase in deposit account volumes and higher merchant discount income, offset somewhat by a decrease in refinancing volume in the mortgage loan department.
Other Expenses - Other expenses increased by 9.8% from $4,102 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2003 to $4,506 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2004. The major components of other expenses are salaries and employee benefits which increased 7.2% from $2,512 to $2,692; occupancy expense which increased 13.5% from $541 to $614; and other operating expenses which increased by 14.4% from $1,049 to $1,200.
Other expenses increased by 6.7% from $12,314 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003 to $13,137 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2004. The major components of other expenses are salaries and employee benefits which increased 4.4% from $7,718 to $8,055; occupancy expense which increased 14.3% from $1,594 to $1,822; and other operating expense which increased by 8.6% from $3,002 to $3,260.

NET INCOME (continued)
The increase in the three-month and nine-month period ended September 30, 2004 salaries and employee benefits was due to normal pay increases and the increased costs of providing employee benefits, particularly health insurance coverage. Occupancy expense has grown in 2004 due to the addition of a new banking office in Conway. Looking ahead, the construction, staffing, and equipping of a new branch office in Pawleys Island, South Carolina, expected in 2005, will add to future occupancy expense.
Income Taxes - Provisions for income taxes decreased 6.7% from $1,002 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2003 to $935 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2004. Income before income taxes less interest on tax-exempt investment securities increased by 10.1% from $2,864 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2003 to $3,153 for the same period in 2004. State tax liability increased as income before income taxes increased 9.0% from $3,120 to $3,402 during the same period. Third Quarter 2004 income taxes declined slightly due to the recognition of additional deferred tax assets.
Provisions for income taxes increased 8.6% from $2,770 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003 to $3,007 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2004. Income before income taxes less interest on tax-exempt investment securities increased by 9.6% from $8,012 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003 to $8,782 for the same period in 2004 and state tax liability increased as income before income taxes increased 8.2% from $8,794 to $9,516 during the same period.
LIQUIDITY
The bank's liquidity position is primarily dependent on short-term demands for funds caused by customer credit needs and deposit withdrawals and upon the liquidity of bank assets to meet these needs. The bank's liquidity sources include cash and due from banks, federal funds sold and short-term investments. In addition, the bank has established federal funds lines of credit from correspondent banks and has the ability to borrow funds from the Federal Reserve System and the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta. Management feels that short-term and long-term liquidity sources are more than adequate to meet funding needs, including the funding of off-balance sheet loan commitments and standby letters of credit, if the need arises. Neither the Company nor the Bank are involved in other off-balance sheet contractual relationships or transactions that could result in liquidity needs or other commitments or significantly impact earnings. The Bank has received regulatory approval to open a new banking office in Pawleys Island, South Carolina. Land, construction, and equipment costs are estimated at $1,750.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
Total stockholders' equity was $69,945 and $64,623 at September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, representing 10.28% and 10.77% of total assets, respectively. At September 30, 2004, the Bank exceeds quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy (see NOTE 12 to the consolidated unaudited financial statements - REGULATORY MATTERS). Capital is considered sufficient by management to meet current and prospective capital requirements and to support anticipated growth in bank operations.

ACCOUNTING ISSUES
Accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
In the normal course of its business the Company encounters two significant types of risks: economic and regulatory. There are three main components of economic risk: interest rate risk, credit risk and market risk. The Company is subject to interest rate risk to the degree that its interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice at different speeds, or on different basis, than its interest-earning assets. Credit risk is the risk of default on the Company's loan portfolio that results from borrower's inability or unwillingness to make contractually required payments. Market risk reflects changes in the value of collateral underlying loans receivable and the valuation of real estate held by the Company.
The Company is subject to the regulations of various governmental agencies. These regulations can and do change significantly from period to period. The Company also undergoes periodic examinations by the regulatory agencies, which may subject it to further changes with respect to asset valuations, amounts of required loss allowances and operating restrictions from the regulators' judgments based on information available to them at the time of their examination.
Item 3. QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and rates. The Company's market risk arises principally from interest rate risk inherent in its lending, deposit and borrowing activities. Management actively monitors and manages its interest rate risk exposure. In addition to other risks which the Company manages in the normal course of business, such as credit quality and liquidity risk, management considers interest rate risk to be a significant market risk that could potentially have a material effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operations (See Net Income - Net Interest Income). Other types of market risks, such as foreign currency risk and commodity price risk, do not arise in the normal course of the Company's business activities.
Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Based on the evaluation required by 17 C.F.R. Section 240.13a-15(b) or 240.15d-15(b) of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in 17 C.F.R. Sections 240.13a-15(e) and 240.15d-15(e)), the Company's chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that the effectiveness of such controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, was adequate.
No disclosure is required under 17 C.F.R. Section 229.308.
