NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIALSTATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and in compliance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Because this report is based on an interim period, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted.
In the opinion of management of the registrant, the accompanying consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2012 and for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 include all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial condition and the results of operations for the periods presented. The financial performance reported for CNB Financial Corporation (the “Corporation”) for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 is not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. This information should be read in conjunction with the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2011 (the “2011 Form 10-K”). All dollar amounts are stated in thousands, except share data.
2. 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 aggregate grants of up to 500,000 shares of common stock in the form of nonqualified options or restricted stock. For key employees, the plan vesting is one-fourth of the granted options or restricted stock per year beginning one year after the grant date, with 100% vested on the fourth anniversary of the grant. For independent directors, the vesting schedule is one-third of the granted options per year beginning one year after the grant date, with 100% vested on the third anniversary of the grant.
At June 30, 2012, there was no unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested stock options granted under this plan, and no stock options were granted during the three or six month periods ended June 30, 2012. At June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Corporation had 107,375 stock options that were fully vested and exercisable.
Compensation expense for the restricted stock awards is recognized over the requisite service period noted above based on the fair value of the shares at the date of grant. Nonvested restricted stock awards are recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in capital in shareholders’ equity until earned. Compensation expense resulting from these restricted stock awards was $73 and $132 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, and $49 and $102 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011. As of June 30, 2012, there was $681 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested restricted stock awards.
A summary of changes in nonvested restricted stock awards for the three months ended June 30, 2012 follows:
Nonvested at beginning of period

A summary of changes in unvested restricted stock awards for the six months ended June 30, 2012 follows:
3. FAIR VALUE
Fair Value Option
Management elected to adopt the fair value option for its investment in certain equity securities in order to provide financial statement users with greater visibility into the Corporation’s financial instruments that do not have a defined maturity date.
Fair value changes attributable to unrealized gains (losses) that were included in earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 were $(164) and $24, respectively. Fair value changes attributable to unrealized losses that were included in earnings for the three and six month ended June 30, 2011 were ($16) and $87, respectively. Realized gains on the sale of securities for which the fair value option was elected were $24 and $156 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012. Realized gains on the sale of securities for which the fair value option was elected were $0 and $10 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011.
Dividend income is recorded based on cash dividends and comprises the “Dividends” line item in the accompanying consolidated statement of income. Dividend income was $18 and $31 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and $8 and $15 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011.
Fair Value Measurement
Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. A fair value hierarchy has also been established which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The following three levels of inputs are used to measure fair value:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
The fair values of most trading securities and securities available for sale are determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1 inputs) or matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2 inputs). The fair value of one corporate bond held by the Corporation has been determined by using Level 3 inputs. The Corporation has engaged a valuation expert to price this security using a proprietary model, which incorporates assumptions about certain factors that market participants would use in pricing the securities, including bid/ask spreads and liquidity and credit premiums.
7
Trust preferred securities which are issued by financial institutions and insurance companies are priced using Level 3 inputs. The decline in the level of observable inputs and market activity in this class of investments by the measurement date has been significant and resulted in unreliable external pricing. Broker pricing and bid/ask spreads, when available, vary widely, and the once-active market has become comparatively inactive. The Corporation engaged a third party consultant who has developed a model for pricing these securities. Information such as historical and current performance of the underlying collateral, deferral and default rates, collateral coverage ratios, break in yield calculations, cash flow projections, liquidity and credit premiums required by a market participant, and financial trend analysis with respect to the individual issuing financial institutions and insurance companies are utilized in determining individual security valuations. Due to the current market conditions as well as the limited trading activity of these securities, the market value of the securities is highly sensitive to assumption changes and market volatility.
The Corporation’s derivative instrument is an interest rate swap that is similar to those that trade in liquid markets. As such, significant fair value inputs can generally be verified and do not typically involve significant management judgments (Level 2 inputs).
The fair value of impaired loans with specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses is generally based on recent real estate appraisals prepared by third-parties. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Management also adjusts appraised values based on the length of time that has passed since the appraisal and other factors. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011:

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Corporation’s corporate notes and bonds are prepayment rates, probability of default, and discount rate. Significant increases/(decreases) in any of those inputs in isolation would result in a significantly lower/(higher) fair value measurement. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Corporation’s pooled trust preferred securities are collateral default rate, discount rate, recovery probability, and prepayment rate. Significant increases in specific-issuer default assumptions or decreases in specific-issuer recovery assumptions would result in a significantly lower fair value measurement. Conversely, decreases in specific-issuer default assumptions or increases in specific-issuer recovery assumptions would result in a higher fair value measurement.
During the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, the following available for sale securities reported as Level 1 securities as of the beginning of the period were transferred to the Level 2 category:
Total
During the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, the following available for sale securities reported as Level 1 securities as of the beginning of the period were transferred to the Level 2 category:
These securities were transferred from the Level 1 category to the Level 2 category since there were no longer quoted prices for identical assets in active markets that the Corporation had the ability to access. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, two pooled SBA securities that were classified as Level 2 securities at December 31, 2010 were transferred to the Level 1 category. The fair value on the date of transfer was $3,437. There were no transfers of securities from the Level 2 category to the Level 1 category during the three months ended June 30, 2011. There were no transfers of securities from the Level 2 category to the Level 1 category during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012. The Corporation’s policy for determining when a transfer between the Level 1 and Level 2 categories has occurred is to monitor and report such transfers as of each quarterly reporting period.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis are as follows at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011:
Impaired loans:
Commercial mortgages
Commercial, industrial, and agricultural
Residential real estate
Impaired loans, which are measured for impairment using the fair value of collateral for collateral dependent loans, had a principal balance of $14,476 with a valuation allowance of $2,146 as of June 30, 2012, resulting in an additional provision for loan losses of $1,196 and $1,597 for the corresponding three and six months then ended. Impaired loans had a principal balance of $22,384 with a valuation allowance of $1,493 as of December 31, 2011, and an additional provision for loan losses of $345 and $263 for the corresponding three and six months ended June 30, 2011.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The following table presents the carrying amount and fair value of financial instruments at June 30, 2012:
ASSETS
Cash and cash equivalents
Accrued interest receivable
LIABILITIES
Accrued interest payable
The following table presents the carrying amount and fair value of financial instruments at December 31, 2011:
The methods and assumptions, not otherwise presented, used to estimate fair values are described as follows:
Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents approximate fair values and are classified as Level 1.
Interest bearing time deposits with other banks: The fair value of interest bearing time deposits with other banks is estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities, resulting in a Level 2 classification.
Loans held for sale: The fair value of loans held for sale is estimated based upon binding contracts and quotes from third party investors resulting in a Level 2 classification.
13
Loans: For variable rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values, resulting in a Level 3 classification. Fair values for other loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality, resulting in a Level 3 classification. Impaired loans are valued at the lower of cost or fair value as described previously. The methods utilized to estimate the fair value of loans do not necessarily represent an exit price.
FHLB and other equity interests: It is not practical to determine the fair value of Federal Home Loan Bank stock and other equity interests due to restrictions placed on the transferability of these instruments.
Accrued interest receivable: The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable approximates fair value resulting in a classification that is consistent with the asset with which it is associated.
Deposits: The fair values disclosed for demand deposits are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e. their carrying amount), resulting in a Level 1 classification. Fair values for time deposits are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits, resulting in a Level 2 classification.
FHLB and other borrowings: The fair values of the Corporation’s FHLB and other borrowings are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the current borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements, resulting in a Level 2 classification.
Subordinated debentures: The fair value of the Corporation’s subordinated debentures are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the current borrowing rates for similar types of arrangements, resulting in a Level 3 classification.
Accrued interest payable: The carrying amount of accrued interest payable approximates fair value resulting in a classification that is consistent with the liability with which it is associated.
While 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 assets such as, among other things, the estimated earnings power of core deposits, the earnings potential of trust accounts, the trained workforce, and customer goodwill, which typically are not recognized on the balance sheet may have value but are not included in the fair value disclosures.

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.
At June 30, 2012, the Corporation held one structured pooled trust preferred security with an adjusted amortized cost of $800 and a fair value of $360. The Corporation evaluated this security for other-than-temporary impairment by estimating the cash flows expected to be received, taking into account future estimated levels of deferrals and defaults by the underlying issuers, and discounting those cash flows at the appropriate accounting yield. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, no other-than-temporary impairment was required to be realized in earnings. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, other-than-temporary impairment of $0 and $398, respectively, was realized in earnings. At June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Corporation held four structured pooled trust preferred securities with an adjusted amortized cost of zero.
A roll-forward of the other-than-temporary impairment amount related to credit losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 is as follows:
Balance of credit losses on debt securities for which a portion of other-than-temporary impairment was recognized in other comprehensive income, beginning of period
Additional credit loss for which other-than-temporary impairment was not previously recognized
Additional credit loss for which other-than-temporary impairment was previously recognized
Balance of credit losses on debt securities for which a portion of other-than-temporary impairment was recognized in other comprehensive income, end of period
A roll-forward of the other-than-temporary impairment amount related to credit losses for the three months ended June 30, 2011 is as follows:
A roll-forward of the other-than-temporary impairment amount related to credit losses for the six months ended June 30, 2011 is as follows:
Due to the insignificance of the adjusted amortized cost and other-than-temporary impairment charges to the consolidated financial statements, no further disclosures are required with respect to the Corporation’s structured pooled trust preferred securities.
For the securities that comprise corporate notes and bonds and the securities that are issued by state and political subdivisions, management monitors publicly available financial information, such as filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in order to evaluate the securities for other-than-temporary impairment. For financial institution issuers, management also monitors information from quarterly “call” report filings that are used to generate Uniform Bank Performance Reports. When reviewing this information, management considers the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer and whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred. Management also considers the length of time and extent to which fair value has been less than cost 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.

As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, management concluded that the securities described in the previous paragraph were not other-than-temporarily impaired for the following reasons:
There is no indication of any significant deterioration of the creditworthiness of the institutions that issued the securities.
The unrealized losses are predominantly attributable to liquidity disruptions within the credit markets and the generally stressed condition of the financial services industry.
All contractual interest payments on the securities have been received as scheduled, and no information has come to management’s attention through the processes previously described which would lead to a conclusion that future contractual payments will not be timely received.
The Corporation does not intend to sell and it is not more likely than not that it will be required to sell the securities in an unrealized loss position before recovery of its amortized cost basis.

Troubled Debt Restructurings
In order to determine whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, an evaluation is performed of the probability that the borrower will be in payment default on any of its debt in the foreseeable future without a loan modification. This evaluation is performed using the Corporation’s internal underwriting policies.
A loan is considered to be in payment default once it is 90 days contractually past due under the modified terms. All loans modified in troubled debt restructurings are performing in accordance with their modified terms as of June 30, 2012 and no principal balances were forgiven in connection with the loan restructurings.
The Corporation has allocated $209 and $228 of specific reserves to one commercial mortgage customer whose loan terms have been modified in troubled debt restructurings as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. The interest rate on the original loan was 6.60%. Due to financial difficulties experienced by the customer, the interest rate was reduced to 4.19% in the third quarter of 2010 and further reduced to 4.07% in the third quarter of 2011. In the first quarter of 2012, the customer was granted interest-only terms for six months, resulting in an additional provision for loan losses that was insignificant for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012. This loan had a total recorded investment of $1,657 and $1,662 as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.
The Corporation has allocated $101 of specific reserves to one commercial mortgage customer with two loans whose terms have been modified in a troubled debt restructuring as of June 30, 2012. The interest rates on the original loans were 6.45% and 6.47%. Due to financial difficulties experienced by the customer, the interest rates on both loans were reduced to 5.75% in the first quarter of 2012, and the maturity dates were extended to 2020 and 2024, resulting in an additional provision for loan losses of $101 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012. These loans had a total recorded investment of $1,832 as of June 30, 2012. This commercial customer has two additional mortgage loans that were deemed to be impaired as of December 31, 2011 and whose terms were modified in a troubled debt restructuring in the first quarter of 2012. The loan payments were modified to reflect a twenty year amortization with a balloon payment due after five years. These loans had a total recorded investment of $712 and $728 and specific reserves of $463 and $465 as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. No additional provision for loan losses was required to be recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 in connection with the loan modifications.
The Corporation has a commercial mortgage customer whose loan relationships have interest-only terms that were extended during 2011. The original interest rates on the loans, which were also the market rates of interest at the time of the loan modification, were not reduced; therefore, no additional provision for loan losses was required to be recorded. These loans have a total recorded investment of $4,547 and $4,588 at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.
In addition, the Corporation has a commercial mortgage customer whose loan relationship was restructured due to the forgiveness of accrued interest and late charges. The original interest rate on the loan, which was also the market rate of interest at the time of the loan modification, was not reduced; therefore, no additional provision for loan losses was required to be recorded. This loan has a recorded investment of $1,405 and $1,438 at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.
The Corporation has a commercial customer with five loans whose terms were modified in a troubled debt restructuring in the first quarter of 2012 due to financial difficulties experienced by the customer. The outstanding balances on the five loans, which ranged in maturity from 2012 to 2014, were combined into one new loan with a five year term. The blended original interest rates on the loans, which were also the market rates of interest at the time of the loan modification, were not reduced; therefore no additional provision for loan losses was required to be recorded. This loan has a total recorded investment of $297 at June 30, 2012.
22
The Corporation has no further loan commitments to customers whose loans are classified as a troubled debt restructuring, and there have been no payment defaults on loans modified in a troubled debt restructuring.
Credit Quality Indicators
The Corporation classifies commercial, industrial, and agricultural loans and commercial mortgage loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt, such as current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Corporation analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. Loans with an outstanding balance greater than $1 million are analyzed at least semi-annually and loans with an outstanding balance of less than $1 million are analyzed at least annually.
The Corporation uses the following definitions for risk ratings:
Special Mention: Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the Corporation’s credit position at some future date.
Substandard: Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Corporation will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
Doubtful: Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.
Loans not rated as special mention, substandard, or doubtful are considered to be pass rated loans. All loans included in the following tables have been assigned a risk rating within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
The Corporation’s portfolio of residential real estate and consumer loans maintained within Holiday Financial Services Corporation (“Holiday”), a subsidiary that offers small balance unsecured and secured loans, primarily collateralized by automobiles and equipment, to borrowers with higher risk characteristics than are typical in the Bank’s consumer loan portfolio, are considered to be subprime loans.
23
Holiday’s loan portfolio is summarized as follows at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011:
The Corporation considers the performance of the loan portfolio and its impact on the allowance for loan losses. For residential real estate, consumer, and credit card loan classes, the Corporation also evaluates credit quality based on the aging status of the loan, which was previously presented, and by payment activity. The following table presents the recorded investment in residential and consumer loans based on payment activity as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011:

6. DEPOSITS
Total deposits at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 are summarized as follows (in thousands):
Checking, non-interest bearing
Checking, interest bearing
Savings accounts
7. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the applicable period, excluding outstanding participating securities. 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 certain stock compensation plans. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, 75,500 shares issuable pursuant to outstanding stock options under stock compensation plans were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculations because the strike prices associated with the options exceeded the market price of the Corporation’s common stock thus making the shares anti-dilutive. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, 84,250 shares issuable pursuant to outstanding stock options were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculations because the strike prices associated with the options exceeded the market price of the Corporation’s common stock thus making the shares anti-dilutive.
Unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and are included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. The Corporation has determined that its outstanding non-vested stock awards are participating securities.

8. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
The Corporation records all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative and the resulting designation. Derivatives used to hedge the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivatives used to hedge the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges.
For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the changes in the fair value of the derivative is initially reported in other comprehensive income (outside of earnings) and subsequently reclassified into earnings when the hedged transaction affects earnings, and the ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized directly in earnings. The Corporation assesses the effectiveness of each hedging relationship by comparing the changes in cash flows of the derivative hedging instrument with the changes in cash flows of the designated hedged item or transaction.
On August 1, 2008, the Corporation executed an interest rate swap agreement with a 5 year term and an effective date of September 15, 2008 in order to hedge $10 million of a subordinated note that was issued by the Corporation during 2007 and elected cash flow hedge accounting for the agreement. The Corporation’s objective in using this derivative is to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate risk. The interest rate swap involves the receipt of variable-rate amounts in exchange for fixed-rate payments from August 1, 2008 to September 15, 2013 without exchange of the underlying notional amount. At June 30, 2012, the variable rate on the subordinated debt was 2.02% (LIBOR plus 155 basis points) and the Corporation was paying 5.84% (4.29% fixed rate plus 155 basis points).
25
In anticipation of the expiration of the 5 year interest rate swap agreement discussed immediately above, on May 3, 2011, the Corporation executed an interest rate swap agreement with a 5 year term and an effective date of September 15, 2013 which as of that effective date, will hedge $10 million of the subordinated note discussed immediately above. As with the prior interest rate swap agreement, the Corporation’s objective in using this derivative is to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate risk. The interest rate swap involves the receipt of variable-rate amounts in exchange for fixed-rate payments from September 15, 2013 to September 15, 2018 without exchange of the underlying notional amount. On the effective date, the variable rate on the subordinated debt will be LIBOR plus 155 basis points and the Corporation will be paying 5.57% (4.02% fixed rate plus 155 basis points).
As of June 30, 2012, no derivatives were designated as fair value hedges or hedges of net investments in foreign operations. Additionally, the Corporation does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes and currently does not have any derivatives that are not designated as hedges.
The following tables provide information about the amounts and locations of activity related to the interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges within the Corporation’s consolidated balance sheet and statement of income as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 (in thousands):
As of June 30, 2012:

Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to the interest rate swap will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the subordinated debentures. Such amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss to interest expense in the next twelve months are expected to be $372.
9. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-4, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.” Some amendments in this update clarify the FASB’s intent about the application of existing fair value measurement requirements. Other amendments change a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements. The amendments in this update are effective during interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The effect of adopting this new guidance did not have a material effect on the Corporation’s financial statements.
In June 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-5, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Presentation of Comprehensive Income.” This update amends the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (Codification) to allow an entity the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both choices, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. This update eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. The amendments to the Codification in this update do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011, and retrospective application is required. The effect of adopting this new guidance did not have a material effect on the Corporation’s financial statements.
In September 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-08, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), Testing Goodwill for Impairment.” The amendments in the update permit an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. The more-likely-than-not threshold is defined as having a likelihood of more than fifty percent. The amendments are effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The effect of adopting this new guidance did not have a material effect on the Corporation’s financial statements.
In December 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-12, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassification of Items out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05.” This update defers the specific requirement to present items that are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to net income separately within their respective components of net income and other comprehensive income. As such, the amendments in this update supersede only those paragraphs in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05 that pertain to how and where reclassification adjustments are presented. The amendments were effective at the same time as the amendments in Accounting Standards Update 2011-05. The effect of adopting this new guidance did not have a material effect on the Corporation’s financial statements.

ITEM 2
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OFFINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OFOPERATIONS
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 principal subsidiary, CNB Bank (the “Bank”), provides financial services to individuals and businesses primarily within the Pennsylvania counties of Cambria, Cameron, Clearfield, Elk, Indiana, and McKean. 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, Punxsutawney, Reynoldsville and Sykesville, and the townships of Washington, Winslow and Henderson. ERIEBANK, a division of CNB Bank, provides financial services to individuals and businesses in the northwestern Pennsylvania counties of Erie, Crawford, and Warren.
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 of the Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries are not necessarily indicative of future performance. CNB Securities Corporation is incorporated in Delaware and currently maintains investments in debt and equity securities. County Reinsurance Company is an Arizona Corporation, and provides credit life and disability insurance for customers of CNB Bank. CNB Insurance Agency, incorporated in Pennsylvania, provides for the sale of nonproprietary annuities and other insurance products. Holiday Financial Services Corporation, incorporated in Pennsylvania, offers small balance unsecured loans and secured loans, primarily collateralized by automobiles and equipment, to borrowers with higher risk characteristics. When we use the terms “we”, “us” and “our”, we mean CNB Financial Corporation and its subsidiaries. Management’s discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements and related notes.
GENERAL OVERVIEW
The Bank expanded its ERIEBANK division by opening a full service office in Meadville, Pennsylvania in the second quarter of 2010, and the Corporation has obtained regulatory approval for a second Meadville location that is expected to open in the third quarter of 2012. In addition, a CNB Bank loan production office was opened in Indiana, Pennsylvania in the third quarter of 2011. A CNB Bank loan production office in Johnstown, Pennsylvania was closed in the third quarter of 2011. The Corporation is opening a ninth office for Holiday Financial Services Corporation in Dubois, Pennsylvania, in the third quarter of 2012. The Corporation also anticipates the purchase of a consumer discount company in Ebensburg, Pennsylvania during the third quarter of 2012, resulting in the acquisition of a loan portfolio of approximately $1 million with a purchase premium of $200 thousand. The Corporation will operate the acquired location as its tenth Holiday Financial Service Corporation office.
Management believes that the Corporation’s ERIEBANK division, along with the traditional CNB Bank and Holiday Financial Services Corporation market areas, should provide the Bank with sustained loan and deposit growth during the remainder of 2012. Loan growth and deposit growth were $57 million and $101 million, respectively, during the six months ended June 30, 2012.
Management concentrates on return on average equity and earnings per share metrics, plus other metrics, to measure the performance of the Corporation. The interest rate environment will continue to play an important role in the future earnings of the Corporation. Some compression of the net interest margin was experienced in 2011 and the net interest margin has decreased 8 basis points in the first six months of 2012 as a result of the current interest rate environment. During the past several years, measures have been taken 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. In addition, interest rates were decreased on certain deposit products during 2011 and the first six months of 2012. Non-interest costs are expected to increase with the growth of the Corporation; however, management’s growth strategies are expected to result in an increase in earning assets as well as enhanced non-interest income which is expected to more than offset increases in non-interest expenses in 2012 and beyond. While past results are not an indication of future earnings, management believes the Corporation is well-positioned to sustain core earnings during 2012.
On July 21, 2010, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) was enacted and this law could impact the performance of the Corporation in future periods. The Dodd-Frank Act includes numerous provisions designed to strengthen the financial industry, enhance consumer protection, expand disclosures and provide for transparency. Some of these provisions included changes to FDIC insurance coverage, which has now been increased to $250,000. Additional provisions created a Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which is authorized to write rules on all consumer
28
financial products, and a Financial Services Oversight Council, which is empowered to determine which entities are systematically significant and require tougher regulations and is charged with reviewing, and when appropriate, submitting comments to the Securities and Exchange Commission and Financial Accounting Standards Board with respect to existing or proposed accounting principles, standards or procedures. Although the aforementioned provisions are only a few of the numerous ones included in the Dodd-Frank Act, the full impact of the entire Dodd-Frank Act will not be known until the full implementation is completed.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $24.2 million at June 30, 2012 compared to $39.7 million at December 31, 2011. Cash and cash equivalents fluctuate based on the timing and amount of liquidity events that occur in the normal course of business.
Management believes 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 $77.7 million or 12.1% since December 31, 2011. The increase is primarily due to the purchases of residential mortgage and asset backed securities issued by government sponsored entities and resulted from deposit growth not reinvested in loans. See the notes to the consolidated financial statements for additional detail concerning the composition of the Corporation’s securities portfolio and the process for evaluating securities for other-than-temporary impairment.
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. Management monitors the earnings performance and the effectiveness of the liquidity of the securities portfolio on a regular basis through meetings of the Asset/Liability Committee of the Corporation’s Board of Directors (“ALCO”). The ALCO also reviews and manages interest rate risk for the Corporation. Through active balance sheet management and analysis of the securities portfolio, a sufficient level of liquidity is maintained to satisfy depositor requirements and various credit needs of our customers.
LOANS
The Corporation experienced an increase in loans, net of unearned discount, of $56.9 million, or 6.7%, during the first six months of 2012. Lending efforts are 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 sustained loan demand throughout the remainder of 2012.
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.
29
The table below shows activity within the allowance account for the specified periods (in thousands):
Balance at beginning of period
Charge-offs:
Recoveries:
Overdraft deposit accounts
Net charge-offs
Balance at end of period
Loans, net of unearned
Allowance to net loans
Net charge-offs to average loans (annualized)
Nonperforming assets
Nonperforming % of total assets
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
Homogeneous
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.
30
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; and
concentrations of credit.
The methodology described above was created using the experience of the Corporation’s credit administrator, guidance from the regulatory agencies, expertise of a third-party loan review provider, and discussions with 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 probable losses associated with those loans. By noting the “spread” at the present time, as well as prior periods, management determines the current adequacy of the allowance as well as evaluates 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 to be 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 within its market areas.
During the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Corporation recorded a provision for loan losses of $2.9 million, as compared to a provision for loan losses of $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The increase was a result of increases in loss reserves, primarily in the commercial loan portfolio. One relationship comprising two commercial loans which became impaired in 2011 necessitated an additional loss reserve of $360 thousand in the first quarter of 2012 as a result of the revision in the valuation estimate of the loan collateral. Charge-offs attributable to this loan relationship totaled $600 thousand during the six months ended June 30, 2012, which was the primary factor in the increase in net loan charge-offs from $874 thousand during the six months ended June 30, 2011 to $1.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2012.
In May 2012, CNB management determined that one relationship comprising commercial loans totaling $2.4 million and two consumer loans totaling $200 thousand became impaired. As of March 31, 2012, the loan relationship was not deemed to be a criticized or classified loan under applicable regulatory guidelines or CNB’s internal loan policies. CNB charged off the balances of the consumer loans and recorded a specific allocation of $1.1 million for the commercial loans based on CNB’s evaluation of the borrowers’ ability and willingness to repay the loan. As a result, the provision for loan losses during the quarter ended June 30, 2012 increased by $1.3 million. It is possible that further deterioration with respect to the loan relationship may occur in the future.
Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is reasonable and adequate to absorb probable incurred losses in its portfolio at June 30, 2012.

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 $101 million from $1.35 billion at December 31, 2011 to $1.46 billion at June 30, 2012. The growth in deposits was primarily due to increases in savings accounts of $131 million over this period as a result of the Corporation’s marketing of a savings product which carries an annual percentage yield which is highly competitive in the current interest rate environment. This increase in savings accounts was offset by an expected decrease in time deposits of $44 million as customers who previously held certificates of deposit migrated to the savings product.
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-term and long-term borrowings as an available funding source when deemed appropriate.
SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY AND CAPITAL RATIOS AND METRICS
The Corporation’s capital continued to provide a base for profitable growth through June 30, 2012. Total shareholders’ equity was $139.6 million at June 30, 2012 and $131.9 million at December 31, 2011. In the first six months of 2012, the Corporation earned $8.7 million and declared dividends of $4.1 million, a dividend payout ratio of 47.2% 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 Corporation’s capital ratios, book value per share and tangible book value per share as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 are as follows:
Total risk-based capital ratio
Tier 1 capital ratio
Leverage ratio
Tangible common equity/tangible assets (1)

LIQUIDITY
Liquidity measures an organization’s ability to meet cash obligations as they come due. The consolidated statement of cash flows 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 to be part of the Corporation’s liquid assets. The Corporation’s liquidity is monitored by both management and the ALCO, which establishes and monitors ranges of acceptable liquidity. Management believes the Corporation’s current liquidity position is acceptable.
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. The contractual amount of financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk was as follows at June 30, 2012 (in thousands):
Commitments to extend credit
Standby letters of credit

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three Months Ended June 30, 2012 and 2011
OVERVIEW OF THE INCOME STATEMENT
The Corporation had net income of $4.3 million in the second quarter of 2012 compared to $3.9 million for the same period of 2011. The earnings per diluted share were $0.35 in the second quarter of 2012 and $0.32 in the second quarter of 2011.
INTEREST INCOME AND EXPENSE
Net interest income totaled $13.3 million, an increase of $1.4 million, or 11.4%, over the second quarter of 2011. Total interest and dividend income increased by $79 thousand, or 4.8%, as compared to the second quarter of 2011. Although the Corporation’s earning assets continue to grow, these increases have been offset by decreases in the yield on earning assets, primarily because the composition of earning assets has shifted to a greater percentage of investment securities as deposit growth has exceeded loan growth. Total interest expense decreased $572 thousand, or 12.7%, as compared to the second quarter of 2011 due to decreases in the cost of core deposits.
The Corporation recorded a provision for loan losses of $1.7 million in the second quarter of 2012 compared to $992 thousand in the second quarter of 2011. As disclosed in the Allowance for Loan Losses section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis, the Corporation increased its loan loss reserves in the commercial loan portfolio during the second quarter of 2012. In addition, total net loan chargeoffs were $1.1 million in the second quarter of 2012 compared to $501 thousand in the second quarter of 2011.
Management believes the provision for loan losses was appropriate and the allowance for loan losses is adequate to absorb probable incurred losses in our portfolio as of June 30, 2012.
NON-INTEREST INCOME
Excluding the effects of the securities transactions described below, non-interest income was $2.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, compared to $2.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011. Net realized gains on available-for-sale securities were $731 thousand during the three months ended June 30, 2012, and there were no net realized gains or losses during the three months ended June 30, 2011. Net realized and unrealized losses on securities for which fair value accounting was elected were ($140) thousand and ($16) thousand during the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
NON-INTEREST EXPENSES
Total non-interest expenses increased $692 thousand, or 8.5%, during the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2011. Salaries and benefits expenses increased $422 thousand, or 10.1%, during the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011, in part due to routine merit increases, an increase in average full-time equivalent employees, and increases in certain employee benefit expenses, such as health insurance premiums, which continue to increase in line with market conditions.
Total non-interest expenses on an annualized basis in relation to CNB’s average asset size declined from 2.19% for the three months ended June 30, 2011 to 2.06% for the three months ended June 30, 2012.
35
Income tax expense was $1.6 million in the second quarter of 2012 as compared to $1.5 million in the second quarter of 2011, resulting in effective tax rates of 27.2% and 27.9% for the periods, respectively. The effective rates for the periods differed from the federal statutory rate of 35.0% principally as a result of tax exempt income from securities and loans as well as earnings from bank owned life insurance.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2012 and 2011
The Corporation had net income of $8.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $7.2 million for the same period of 2011. The earnings per diluted share was $0.70 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and $0.58 for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The return on assets and return on equity for the six months ended June 30, 2012 are 1.03% and 12.70%, respectively, compared to 0.98% and 12.44%, respectively, for the same period of 2011.
During the six months ended June 30, 2012, net interest income increased $2.7 million, or 11.8%, compared to the comparable period in 2011. The Corporation’s net interest margin on a fully tax equivalent basis was 3.47% for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to 3.55% for the comparable period in 2011.
Although the Corporation’s earning assets continue to grow, these increases have been offset by decreases in the yield on earning assets, primarily because the composition of earning assets has shifted to a greater percentage of investment securities as deposit growth has exceeded loan growth. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, total interest expense decreased $820 thousand, or 9.2%, as compared to the comparable period in 2011 due to decreases in the cost of core deposits.
The Corporation recorded a provision for loan losses of $2.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $1.8 million for the comparable period of 2011. As disclosed in the Allowance for Loan Losses section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis, the Corporation increased its loan loss reserves in the commercial loan portfolio during the first six months of 2012. In addition, total net loan chargeoffs were $1.8 million in the first six months of 2012 compared to $874 thousand for the comparable period of 2011.
Excluding the effects of the securities transactions described below, non-interest income was $5.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to $5.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. Net realized gains on available-for-sale securities were $1.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to $74 thousand during the six months ended June 30, 2011. Net realized and unrealized gains on securities for which fair value accounting was elected were $180 thousand and $97 thousand during the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. An other-than-temporary impairment charge of $398 thousand was recorded in earnings on structured pooled trust preferred securities during the six months ended June 30, 2011.
Total non-interest expenses increased $1.4 million, or 8.6%, during the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2011. Salaries and benefits expenses increased $904 thousand, or 10.7%, during the six months
36
ended June 30, 2012 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2011, in part due to routine merit increases, an increase in average full-time equivalent employees, and increases in certain employee benefit expenses, such as health insurance premiums, which continue to increase in line with market conditions. In addition, other non-interest expenses increased from $5.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 to $5.7 million for the six months ended June, 2012 as a result of the Corporation’s continued growth.
Total non-interest expenses on an annualized basis in relation to CNB’s average asset size declined from 2.24% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 to 2.12% for the six months ended June 30, 2012.
Income tax expense was $3.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 as compared to $2.6 million for the six months ended June 30 2011, resulting in effective tax rates of 27.2% and 27.0% for the periods, respectively. The effective rates for the periods differed from the federal statutory rate of 35.0% principally as a result of tax exempt income from securities and loans as well as earnings from bank owned life insurance.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Corporation’s accounting and reporting policies are in accordance with GAAP and conform to general practices within the financial services industry. Accounting and reporting practices for the allowance for loan losses and fair value of securities are deemed critical since they involve the use of estimates and require significant management judgments. Application of assumptions different than those used by management could result in material changes in the Corporation’s financial position or results of operations. Note 1 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies), Note 3 (Securities), and Note 4 (Loans), of the Corporation’s 2011 Form 10-K, provide detail with regard to the Corporation’s accounting for the allowance for loan losses and fair value of securities. There have been no significant changes in the application of accounting policies since December 31, 2011.
ITEM 3
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
As a financial institution, the Corporation’s primary source of market risk is interest rate risk, which is the exposure to fluctuations in the Corporation’s future earnings resulting from changes in interest rates. This exposure is correlated to the repricing characteristics of the Corporation’s portfolio of assets and liabilities. Each asset or liability reprices either at maturity or during the life of the instrument.
The principal purpose of asset/liability management is to maximize current and future net interest income within acceptable levels of interest rate risk while satisfying liquidity and capital requirements. Net interest income is enhanced by increasing the net interest margin and by the growth in earning assets. As a result, the primary goal of interest rate risk management is to maintain a balance between risk and reward such that net interest income is maximized while risk is maintained at an acceptable level.
The Corporation uses an asset-liability management model to measure the effect of interest rate changes on its net interest income. The Corporation’s management also reviews asset-liability maturity gap and repricing analyses regularly. The Corporation does not always attempt to achieve a precise match between interest sensitive assets and liabilities because it believes that an actively managed amount of interest rate risk is inherent and appropriate in the management of the Corporation’s profitability.
Asset-liability modeling techniques and simulation involve assumptions and estimates that inherently cannot be measured with precision. Key assumptions in these analyses include maturity and repricing characteristics of assets and liabilities, prepayments on amortizing assets, non-maturing deposit sensitivity, and loan and deposit pricing. These assumptions are inherently uncertain due to the timing, magnitude, and frequency of rate changes and changes in market conditions and management strategies, among other factors. However, the analyses are useful in quantifying risk and provide a relative gauge of the Corporation’s interest rate risk position over time.
37
Management reviews interest rate risk on a quarterly basis and reports to the ALCO. This review includes earnings shock scenarios whereby interest rates are immediately increased and decreased by 100, 300, and 400 basis points. These scenarios, detailed in the table below, indicate that there would not be a significant variance in net interest income over a one-year period due to interest rate changes; however, actual results could vary significantly. At June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, all interest rate risk levels according to the model were within the tolerance limits of ALCO approved policy of +/- 25%. In addition, the table does not take into consideration changes that management would make to realign its assets and liabilities in the event of an unexpected changing interest rate environment. Due to the historically low interest rate environment, the -300 and -400 scenarios have been excluded from the table.
ITEM 4
