ITEM 1. BUSINESS

CNB FINANCIAL CORPORATION

CNB Financial Corporation (The Corporation) is a Bank Holding Company
registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. It was
incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in 1983 for the
purpose of engaging in the business of a Bank Holding Company. On April 26,
1984, the Corporation acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of County
National Bank (the Bank), a national banking chartered institution. The
Corporation is subject to regulation, supervision and examination by the Board
of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. In general, The Corporation is
limited to owning or controlling banks and engaging in such other activity as
the Federal Reserve Board may determine to be so closely related to banking or
managing or controlling banks as to be a proper incident thereto.

The Corporation does not currently engage in any operating business
activities, other than the ownership and management of County National Bank.

COUNTY NATIONAL BANK

The Bank is a nationally chartered banking institution incorporated in
1934. The Bank's Main Office is located at 1 South Second Street, Clearfield,
(Clearfield County) Pennsylvania. The Bank's primary marketing area consists of
the Pennsylvania Counties of Clearfield, Elk (excluding the Townships of
Millstone, Highland and Spring Creek), McKean and Cameron. It also includes a
portion of western Centre County including Philipsburg Borough, Rush Township
and the western portions of Snow Shoe and Burnside Townships and a portion of
Jefferson County consisting of the boroughs of Brockway, Falls Creek,
Reynoldsville and Sykesville, and the townships of Washington, Winslow and
Henderson. The approximate population of the general trade area is 100,000.
The economy is diversified and includes manufacturing industries, wholesale and
retail trade, services industries, family farms and the production of natural
resources of coal, oil, gas and timber.

In addition to the Main Office, the Bank has 13 full-service branch offices
and 2 limited service branch facilities located in various communities in its
market area. In February 1997, the Bank opened a fourth office in the
Clearfield area. This is a full service facility located in the town's
industrial park section.

The Bank is a full-service bank engaging in a full range of banking
activities and services for individual, business, governmental and institutional
customers. These activities and services principally include checking, savings,
time and deposit accounts; real estate, commercial, industrial, residential and
consumer loans; and a variety of other specialized financial services. Its
Trust Division offers a full range of client services.

The Bank's customer base is such that loss of one customer relationship or
a related group of depositors would not have a materially adverse effect on the
business of the Bank.

The Bank's loan portfolio is diversified so that one industry, group of
related industries or changes in household economic conditions does not comprise
a material portion of the loan portfolio.

The Bank's business is not seasonal nor does it have any risks attendant to
foreign sources.

COMPETITION

The banking industry in the Bank's service area continues to be extremely
competitive, both among commercial banks and with nonbank financial services
providers such as consumer finance companies, thrifts, investment firms, mutual
funds and credit unions. The increased competition has resulted from changes in
the legal and regulatory guidelines as well as from economic conditions.
Mortgage banking firms, leasing companies, financial affiliates of industrial
companies, brokerage firms, retirement fund management firms, and even
government agencies provide additional competition for loans and other financial
services. Some of the financial services providers operating in the Bank's
market area operate on a large-scale regional basis and possess resources
greater than those of the Bank and the Corporation. The Bank is

3


generally competitive with all competing financial institutions in its service
area with respect to interest rates paid on time and savings deposits, service
charges on deposit accounts and interest rates charged on loans.

SUPERVISION AND REGULATION

The Bank is subject to supervision and examination by applicable federal
and state banking agencies, including the Office of the Comptroller of the
Currency. In addition, the Bank is insured by and subject to some or all of the
regulations of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"). The Bank is
also subject to various requirements and restrictions under federal and state
law, including requirements to maintain reserves against deposits, restrictions
on the types, amounts and terms and conditions of loans that may be granted, and
limitation on the types of investments that may be made and the types of
services that may be offered. Various consumer laws and regulations also affect
the operation of the Bank. In addition to the impact of regulation, commercial
banks are affected significantly by the actions of the Federal Reserve Board,
including actions taken with respect to interest rates, as it attempts to
control the money supply and credit availability in order to influence the
economy.

EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

The table below lists the executive officers of The Corporation and County
National Bank and sets forth certain information with respect to such persons.

Directors. There are not any arrangements or understandings between any and all
of the above officers and any other persons pursuant to which they were selected
as officers. In addition, there are not any family relationships between the
above officers.

EMPLOYEES

The Corporation has no employees who are not employees of the County
National Bank. As of December 31, 1997, the Bank had a total of 209 employees
of which 164 were full time and 45 were part time.

MONETARY POLICIES

The earnings and growth of the banking industry are affected by the credit
policies of monetary authorities, including the Federal Reserve System. An
important function of the Federal Reserve System is to regulate the national
supply of bank credit in order to control recessionary and inflationary
pressures. Among the instruments of monetary policy used by the Federal Reserve
to implement these objectives are open market activities in U.S. Government
Securities, changes in the discount rate on member bank borrowings and changes
in reserve requirements against member bank deposits. These operations are used
in varying combinations to influence overall economic growth and indirectly,
bank loans, investments and deposits. These variables may also affect interest
rates charged on loans or paid for deposits. The monetary policies of the
Federal Reserve authorities have had a significant effect on the operating
results of commercial banks in the past and are expected to continue to have
such an effect in the future.

In view of the changing conditions in the national economy and in the money
markets, as well as the effect of actions by monetary and fiscal authorities
including the Federal Reserve System, no prediction can be made as to possible
future changes in interest rates, deposit levels, loan demand or their effect on
the business and earnings of the Corporation and the Bank.

The provision for loan losses reflects the amount deemed appropriate by
management to establish an adequate reserve to meet the present and foreseeable
risk characteristics of the present loan portfolio. Management's judgement is
based on the evaluation of individual loans, the overall risk characteristics of
various portfolio segments, past experience with losses, the impact of economic
conditions on borrowers, and other relevant factors.

1. In determining the allocation of the allowance for possible credit losses,
County National Bank considers economic trends, historical patterns and
specific credit reviews.
2. With regard to the credit reviews, a "watchlist" is evaluated on a monthly
basis to determine potential commercial losses. Consumer loans and mortgage
loans are allocated using historical loss experience. The total of these
reserves is deemed "allocated", while the remaining balance is "unallocated."
