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 CNB Bank (the "Bank") provides financial services to individuals and businesses within the Bank's market area which is primarily made up of the west central Pennsylvania counties of Cambria, Clearfield, Centre, Elk, Jefferson and McKean. During 2005, the Bank entered the northwestern Pennsylvania county of Erie and began doing business as ERIEBANK. The Bank is subject to regulation, supervision and examination by the Pennsylvania State Department of Banking as well as the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The financial condition and results of operations are not intended to be indicative of future performance. One of the Corporation's subsidiaries, CNB Securities Corporation, is incorporated in Delaware and currently maintains investments in debt and equity securities. County Reinsurance Company, also a subsidiary, is a Corporation of Arizona, and provides credit life and disability for customers of CNB Bank. CNB Insurance Agency, incorporated in Pennsylvania, provides for the sale of nonproprietary annuities and other insurance products. Finally, Holiday Financial Services Corporation ("Holiday") was formed in 2005 to facilitate the Corporation's entry into the consumer discount loan and finance business. Management's discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the 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.

GENERAL OVERVIEW

In September 2009, the Corporation expanded its ERIEBANK franchise by opening a temporary location in Meadville, Pennsylvania. Construction of a full service office is underway with opening expected in the second quarter of 2010. Management believes that our ERIEBANK division, along with our traditional CNB Bank market areas, should provide the Bank with sustained loan and deposit growth throughout the remainder of 2009.

The Corporation began 2009 with a total of eight offices within Holiday Financial Services Corporation. Although the consumer discount loan business is relatively new to the Corporation, management has made the necessary investments in experienced personnel and technology which has facilitated the growth of Holiday into a successful and profitable subsidiary of the Corporation.

While non-interest costs are expected to increase with the growth of the Corporation's banking and consumer discount loan franchises, these new ventures will continue to provide growth in earning assets as well as enhanced non-interest income which we believe will more than offset these costs in 2009 and beyond. In addition, during the latter part of 2008 and continuing into 2009, the Corporation began a cost management study covering all areas of non-interest expense. Cost savings as a result of this study have begun to be recognized in 2009 with benefits continuing into subsequent years.

The interest rate environment will continue to play an important role in the future earnings of the Corporation. Although we have seen some slight compression of our net interest margin in 2009 as a result of the current interest rate environment, management will continue to apply a disciplined approach to managing our balance sheet in these uncertain times. We have taken measures such as instituting rate floors on our commercial lines of credit and home equity lines as a result of the historic lows on various key interest rates such as the Prime Rate and 3-month LIBOR. Due to our continued growth, non-interest income should be enhanced in several areas including service charges and other fees. In addition, mortgage banking income is expected to continue increasing in 2009 due to an expanded volume of refinancing activity resulting from projected historically low borrowing rates. While our business plan continues to focus on commercial lending, we now offer a full service approach to servicing the needs of high net worth individuals through our Private Banking groups in both our CNB Bank and ERIEBANK franchises.

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 well positioned to enhance core earnings through the remainder of 2009.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $21.7 million at September 30, 2009 compared to $31.3 million at December 31, 2008. Cash and cash equivalents will fluctuate based on the timing and amount of liquidity events that occur in the normal course of business. 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, and the portion of the investment and loan portfolios that mature 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 available for sale and trading securities have combined to increase $62.8 million or 26.4% since December 31, 2008. The increase is primarily the result of purchases of structured collateralized mortgage obligations, mortgage-backed securities, and tax-exempt securities from excess deposit growth not reinvested in loans. In addition, as more fully described below, the Corporation also had a higher than normal volume of sales and purchases of securities available for sale during the first nine months of 2009.

The Corporation's structured pooled trust preferred securities currently do not trade in an active, open market with readily observable prices and are therefore classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. The fair value of these securities has been calculated using a discounted cash flow model and market liquidity premium. With the current market conditions, the assumptions used to determine the fair value of Level 3 securities has greater subjectivity due to the lack of observable market transactions. The fair values of these securities have declined due to the fact that the subsequent offerings of similar securities pay a higher market rate of return. This higher rate of return reflects the increased credit and liquidity risks in the marketplace.

When the structured pooled trust preferred securities were purchased, they were considered to be investment grade based on ratings assigned by Moody's. As a result of liquidity disruptions within the credit markets and the generally stressed conditions within the financial services industry, Moody's has downgraded the rating of these securities since they were purchased by the Corporation. As of September 30, 2009, the Corporation held three structured pooled trust preferred securities rated Ca by Moody's having an amortized cost of $3,689,000 and fair value of $696,000, one structured pooled trust preferred security rated Baa2 by Moody's having an amortized cost and fair value of $1,166,000, and one structured pooled trust preferred security rated B3 by Moody's having an amortized cost of $986,000 and fair value of $148,000.

Based on our evaluation of certain structured pooled trust preferred securities, the present value of the projected cash flows is sufficient for full repayment of the amortized cost of the securities and, therefore, it is believed the decline in fair value is temporary due to current market conditions. However, without recovery of these securities, other-than-temporary impairments may occur in future periods.

During the first quarter of 2009, management identified its corporate debt investments as a potential credit risk to the Corporation based upon the continued downturn in the economy and the resulting effect on the financial services industry. As a result of a thorough evaluation process which included risk profiling of individual issuers and comparisons of corporate debt exposure to peer institutions, management elected to liquidate a portion of its investments in "mid-tier" financial institution corporate debt. The decision to sell specific securities was based upon news and events that occurred in the first quarter of 2009 which were indicators of deterioration of the issuers' creditworthiness, including earnings releases which were significantly less than expectations, declines in common stock prices, and decreases in the fair value of debt securities from December 31, 2008 through the date of sale.

The total reduction in corporate debt of approximately $2.0 million during the first quarter brought the Corporation's exposure below the median of its peers based on data obtained from quarterly Uniform Bank Performance Reports. Proceeds from the sale of these corporate securities totaled $1,694,000 resulting in gross realized losses of $780,000. To offset this loss, the Corporation sold obligations of U.S. Government sponsored entities, state and political subdivisions, and mortgage-backed securities resulting in total proceeds of $30,318,000 and gross gains of $764,000. Management will continue to closely monitor its corporate debt portfolio and reduce identified risks based on changes in the economic environment and the fundamental financial health of individual institutions in which the Corporation is invested.

During the second and third quarters of 2009, management sold additional debt securities in an attempt to re-position a portion of its portfolio into lower risk-weighted assets. Proceeds from the sales were reinvested in other available for sale securities. None of these sales resulted in the realization of a significant loss.

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 and minimize the overall effect of different rate environments. 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 experienced a slight increase in loan demand during the first nine months of 2009. Our lending is primarily focused in the west, central and northwest Pennsylvania markets and consists principally of commercial and retail lending, which includes single family residential mortgages and other consumer loans. The Corporation views commercial lending as its competitive advantage and continues to focus on this area by hiring and retaining experienced loan officers and supporting them with quality credit analysis. The Corporation expects moderate loan demand throughout the remainder of 2009 primarily as a result of the continued growth of our ERIEBANK division.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

The allowance for loan losses is established by provisions for losses in the loan portfolio as well as overdrafts in deposit accounts. These provisions are charged against current income. Loans 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 (in thousands):

The adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is subject to a formal analysis by the credit administrator of the Corporation. As part of the formal analysis, delinquencies and losses are monitored monthly. The loan portfolio is divided into several categories in order to better analyze the entire pool. First is a selection of classified loans that is given a specific reserve. The remaining loans are pooled, by category, into these segments:

Reviewed

• Commercial, industrial, and agricultural

• Commercial mortgages

Homogeneous

• Residential real estate

• Consumer

• Credit cards

• Overdrafts

The reviewed loan pools are further segregated into four categories: special mention, 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-accrual loans, 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 probable risk of loss within each pool. Prudent business practices dictate that the level of the allowance, as well as corresponding charges to the provision for loan losses, should be commensurate with identified areas of risk within the loan portfolio and the attendant risks inherent therein. The quality of the credit risk management function and the overall administration of this vital segment of the Corporation's assets are critical to the ongoing success of the Corporation.

The previously mentioned analysis considered numerous historical and other factors to analyze the adequacy of the allowance and current period charges against the provision for loan losses. Management paid special attention to a section of the analysis that compared and plotted the actual level of the allowance against the aggregate amount of loans adversely classified in order to compute the estimated potential losses associated with those loans. By noting the "spread" at the present time, as well as prior periods, management can determine the current adequacy of the allowance as well as evaluate trends that may be developing. The volume and composition of the Corporation's loan portfolio continue to reflect growth in commercial credits including commercial real estate loans.

As mentioned in the Loans section of this analysis, management considers commercial lending a competitive advantage and continues to focus on this area as part of its strategic growth initiatives. However, management must also consider the fact that the inherent risk is more pronounced in these types of credits and is also driven by the economic environment of its market areas.

During the nine month period ended September 30, 2009, the Corporation increased its provision for loan losses and allowance as compared to the nine month period ended September 30, 2008. The increase was a result of increases in net charge-offs, primarily in the consumer discount portfolio, as well as growth in loans oustanding and nonperforming loans from September 30, 2008 to September 30, 2009. Due to the addition of Holiday Financial Services in 2005, the Corporation has grown a portfolio of consumer finance and discount loans with different risk characteristics than its consumer loan portfolio in its banking subsidiary. Holiday originates small balance unsecured loans and secured loans, primarily collateralized by automobiles and equipment, to borrowers with higher credit risk characteristics than are typical in its bank consumer loan portfolio. Although such loans only represent 2.4% of the Corporation's total outstanding loans at September 30, 2009, the characteristics of this higher credit risk portfolio were considered, resulting in increases to our provision and allowance for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

Nonperforming loans and net charge-offs have increased during the first nine months of 2009, primarily as a result of the effect of rising costs and the overall challenging economic environment on certain borrowers. One large commercial loan, a shared national credit in which the Corporation participates, with a carrying value of $5.2 million was placed on nonaccrual status during the quarter ended September 30, 2009. Management has reviewed this loan to determine if a specific loss allocation was required and has determined that no significant allocation is warranted at this time. In addition, despite the increase in nonperforming loans during the quarter ended September 30, 2009, the total of impaired, criticized, and classified loans remained consistent with the quarter ended June 30, 2009. Management believes that both its current period provision and allowance for loan losses are reasonable and adequate to absorb probable incurred losses in its portfolio at September 30, 2009.

FUNDING SOURCES

The Corporation considers deposits, short-term borrowings, and term debt when evaluating funding sources. Traditional deposits continue to be the main source of funds in the Corporation increasing $74.0 million from $814.6 million at December 31, 2008 to $888.6 million at September 30, 2009. The growth in deposits was the result of increases in savings accounts of $95.6 million, offset by a decrease in certificates of deposit of $30.2 million. Non-interest bearing checking accounts increased $12.2 million and interest bearing checking accounts decreased $3.6 million. The increase in savings accounts occurred as a result of the Corporation's continued offering of competitive rates and growth of its ERIEBANK franchise. During the 3rd quarter, the Corporation continued to expand its business and consumer relationships in the ERIEBANK market, including the territory which will be served by its new Meadville, Pennsylvania branch that is scheduled to open in 2010. In addition, a large regional bank that had been located in northeastern Pennsylvania merged with another financial institution, resulting in opportunities to market the Corporation's deposit products to potential new customers.

Periodically, the Corporation utilizes term borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) and other lenders to meet funding needs. Management plans to maintain access to short and long-term borrowings as an available funding source when deemed appropriate.

SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

The Corporation's capital continues to provide a base for profitable growth. Total shareholders' equity was $68.6 million at September 30, 2009 and $62.5 million at December 31, 2008. In the first nine months of 2009, the Corporation earned $7.0 million and declared dividends of $4.3 million, a dividend payout ratio of 61.5% of net income. The Corporation has also complied with the standards of capital adequacy mandated by the banking regulators. 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 0% (lowest risk assets), 20%, 50%, or 100% (highest risk assets), is assigned to each asset on the balance sheet. The Bank's total risk-based capital ratio of 11.24% at September 30, 2009 is above the well-capitalized standard of 10%. The Bank's Tier 1 capital ratio of 10.14% at September 30, 2009 is above the well-capitalized minimum of 6%. The Bank's leverage ratio at September 30, 2009 was 7.49%, also above the well-capitalized standard of 5%. The Corporation's total risk-based capital, Tier 1 capital and leverage ratios all exceed well-capitalized standards as well. 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 part of its budgeting and strategic planning processes.

LIQUIDITY AND INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY

Liquidity measures an organizations' ability to meet cash obligations as they come due. The consolidated statement of cash flows presented on page 7 provides analysis of the Corporation's cash and cash equivalents. Additionally, management considers that portion of the loan and investment portfolio that matures within one year as part of the Corporation's liquid assets. The Corporation's liquidity is monitored by the ALCO Committee, which establishes and monitors ranges of acceptable liquidity. Management believes the Corporation's current liquidity and interest rate position is acceptable.
