Item 1. Description of Business
Business Development
CNB, Inc. (the "Company", "CNB" or the "Registrant") was formed as a Florida corporation on January 15, 1987, for the purpose of becoming a bank holding company by acquiring the capital stock of CNB National Bank (the "Bank").
Within Lake City, Florida, the Bank currently operates two full service facilities. The Company's headquarters is located in the lead bank office located downtown and is named the Marion Street office and the Baya Avenue office is located immediately south of downtown. Recognizing an opportunity to better serve the community, the Bank now plans to open a third office in Lake City to be located in an expanding retail business area on the west side of town. Construction began on February 17, 1997 and management anticipates the branch to be open by early summer.
On September 1, 1996, the Company completed the acquisition of Riherd Bank Holding Company ("RBHC") and its subsidiary, Farmer and Dealers Bank ("F&D"). This expanded the Company's service area into Union and Alachua Counties. The acquired institution had total assets of $48.0 million, deposits of $43.4 million, loans of $24.7 million, and shareholders' equity of $4.6 million. Resulting from the acquisition, the Bank now has three (3) additional locations - - one (1) in Lake Butler, Union County, Florida and two (2) in Gainesville, Alachua County, Florida. Total deposits on December 31, 1996 were $30.2 million in Union County and $12.7 million in Alachua County.
In the fourth quarter of 1996, the Company completed the purchase of an operations center on the east side of Lake City. After complete renovations, the operations center will house most of the Bank's non-customer operations.
Business of Issuer
CNB, through the Bank, now operates a total of ten banking offices in Columbia, Suwannee, Baker, Bradford, Union and Alachua Counties, Florida. As of December 31, 1996, CNB had total assets of $254.9 million, total deposits of $226.8 million, and total shareholders' equity of $19.7 million. CNB presently conducts no business other than owning and operating the Bank as a wholly owned subsidiary.
The Bank offers a full range of deposit services including checking accounts, NOW accounts, savings accounts and time deposits ranging from daily money market accounts to longer-term certificates of deposit. The transaction accounts and time certificates are tailored to the Bank's principal market area at rates competitive to those offered in the area. In addition, retirement accounts such as IRAs are available. All deposit accounts are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC") up to the maximum amount (generally $100,000 per depositor subject to aggregation rules). The Bank solicits these accounts from individuals, businesses, associations, organizations and governmental authorities. The Bank is not currently dependent upon a single depositor or borrower, the loss of which would have a material adverse effect on the Bank.
The Bank also offers a full range of short to medium-term commercial, agricultural, Small Business Administration guaranteed, Farmers Home Administration guaranteed, and personal loans. Commercial loans include both secured and unsecured loans for working capital (including inventory and receivables), business expansion (including acquisition of real estate and improvements), and purchase of equipment and machinery. Consumer loans include secured and unsecured loans for financing automobiles, home improvements, education and other personal investments. The Bank also offers real estate construction and acquisition loans.
The Bank acts as an issuing agent for U.S. savings bonds, traveler's checks, money orders and
cashier's checks, and offers collection teller services, including Treasury, Tax and Loan payment collection, and wire transfer services. The Bank also offers safe deposit boxes, direct deposit of payroll and social security checks, and automatic drafts for various accounts. The Bank is currently a member of the HONOR, PLUS and CIRRUS networks of automated teller machines that may be used by Bank customers in major cities throughout the United States. The Bank also offers credit cards.
Location and Service Area
The Company's principal executive offices are located at the Bank's main office at 201 North Marion Street, Lake City, Florida 32055, which is in Columbia County. In addition to Lake City, the Bank has offices in Live Oak, Fort White, Macclenny, Starke, Lake Butler and Gainesville, Florida. The following table summarizes the Bank's deposits by location as of December 31, 1996, and 1995.

The Bank's primary service area ("PSA") includes the Florida counties of Columbia, Suwannee, Baker, Bradford, Union and Alachua. With the exception of Fort White, all offices are located in the county seat and largest incorporated municipality of each county. The PSA adjoins Marion, Levy and Gilchrist Counties on the south, Duval, Clay and Putnam Counties on the east, Hamilton County on the north, and Madison and Lafayette County on the west. In 1994, the populations of Columbia, Suwannee, Baker, Bradford, Union and Alachua Counties were 48,897, 29,299, 19,700, 24,210, 12,534 and 193,879 respectively. According to the Chamber of Commerce of each county, the population of Columbia, Suwannee, Baker, Bradford, Union and Alachua Counties is projected to increase 11.1%, 19.8%, 8.7%, 4.7%, 6.6% and 10.9%, respectively, between 1994 and 2000.
Each of the counties in the Bank's PSA is located in close proximity to Interstates 10 and 75 and a short distance from the Gainesville Regional Airport, the Jacksonville International Airport and the Port of Jacksonville, a major Eastern Seaboard cargo-handling facility. Four major universities, the University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida State University in Tallahassee, the University of North Florida and Jacksonville University, as well as three community colleges, are within commuting distance of the PSA.
Competitive Business Conditions
Within the Bank's PSA, there are competing financial institutions comprised of other commercial banks, savings and loan offices and credit unions. As of December 31, 1996, deposits in the PSA had increased 5.3% from 1995, and totaled $2.4 billion, of which the Bank held $226.8 million, or 9.6%. Specifically, the Bank held 29.3%, 19.3%, 22.8%, 12.2%, 100.0% and .8% of the total deposits in Columbia, Suwannee, Baker, Bradford Counties, Union and Alachua, respectively, at the end of 1996.
With the Riherd acquisition, our market expanded to Union and Alachua Counties. The acquisition added two banking offices in Gainesville in Alachua County. Because of the relative newness of the offices in Alachua County, only $12.7 million or 29.5% of the acquired institution's deposits were located there. As management analyzes market share, it separates Alachua County from other PSA counties considering it a focus for future expansion.
Certain non-Florida financial institutions affiliated with Florida banks or savings and loans offer limited financial services, including lending and deposit gathering activities. In addition, the Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 has removed substantially all state barriers to the acquisition of banks by out-of-state bank holding companies. Other out-of-state bank holding companies have entered the Florida banking market by acquiring failing thrift institutions and commercial banks. Florida banks and bank holding companies may also enter the Bank's PSA by acquisition of a financial institution within the PSA, by establishing de novo branches or by forming de novo banks.
Competition for deposit and loan business in the Bank's PSA will continue to be intense because of existing competition, the accelerating pace of product deregulation and the likelihood of expansion into the PSA by other institutions. To compete, the Bank relies on specialized services, responsive handling of customer needs, customer contact by Bank officers, directors and staff, and the appeal of a locally-owned institution.
Regulatory Matters
General
As a bank holding company, the Company is subject to regulation and supervision by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve Board") under the Bank Holding Company ("BHC") Act. The Bank is subject to regulation and supervision by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the "OCC") and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC").
The Bank is subject to restrictions under federal law which limit the transfer of funds by the Bank to the Company, whether in the form of loans, extensions of credit, investments or asset purchases. Such transfers by the Bank to the Company are limited in amount to 10% of the Bank's capital and surplus. Furthermore, such loans and extensions of credit are required to be secured in specified amounts.
Under Federal Reserve Board policy, the Company is expected to act as a source of financial strength to the Bank and to commit resources to support the Bank in circumstances where the Company might not do so absent such policy. In addition, any capital loans by the Company to the Bank would also be subordinate in right of payment to deposits and to certain other obligations of the Bank, including any liabilities of the Bank to the FDIC under the "cross guarantee" provisions described below.
As a result of the enactment of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 ("FIRREA"), a depository institution insured by the FDIC can be held liable for any loss incurred by, or reasonably expected to be incurred by, the FDIC after August 9, 1989, in connection with (i) the default of a commonly controlled FDIC-insured depository institution or (ii) any assistance provided by the FDIC to a commonly controlled FDIC-insured depository institution in danger of default. "Default" is defined generally as the appointment of a conservator or a receiver and "in danger of default" is defined generally as the existence of certain conditions indicating that a "default" is likely to occur in the absence of regulatory assistance.
Pursuant to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA"), after December 31, 1994, the FDIC may not take any action that would have the effect of increasing the losses to a deposit insurance fund by protecting depositors for more than the insured portion of deposits (generally, $100,000) or creditors other than depositors. The FDIC is also authorized by FDICIA to settle all uninsured and unsecured claims in the insolvency of an insured bank by making a final settlement payment after the declaration of insolvency. Such a payment would constitute full payment and
disposition of the FDIC's obligations to claimants. The rate of such final settlement payments is to be a percentage rate determined by the FDIC reflecting an average of the FDIC's receivership recovery experience.
As a result of the provisions of law described above, in the event of the insolvency of the Bank, the FDIC could limit or prohibit dividends payable to the Company by the Bank, and any debt securities could be treated differently from, and holders of any debt securities could receive substantially less than holders of, deposit obligations of the Bank.
Federal Depositor Preference Legislation
On August 10, 1993, the Federal Deposit Insurance Act was amended to provide that in the event of the liquidation or other resolution of an insured depository institution occurring on or after such date, the claims of depositors of such institution (including claims by the FDIC as subrogee of insured depositors) are entitled to priority in payment over the claims of any other senior or general creditors of the institution, including any obligations to shareholders of such depository institution in their capacity as such.
Dividends
The principal source of funds for the Company is dividends paid to it by the Bank. Various federal and state statutory provisions limit the amount of dividends the Bank can pay to the Company. The approval of the OCC is required for any dividend by a national bank if the total of all dividends declared by the bank in any calendar year would exceed the total of its net income, as defined by the OCC, for that year to date combined with its retained net income for the preceding two years, less any required transfers to surplus or a fund for the retirement of any preferred stock. In addition, a national bank may not pay a dividend in an amount greater than its undivided profits then on hand. Under these provisions, the Bank could have declared, at the close of 1996, aggregate dividends of approximately $2.2 million. The payment of dividends by the Bank is affected by various factors, such as maintenance of adequate capital for the Bank as described more fully below. The Federal Reserve Board, the OCC and the FDIC have indicated that as a general matter dividends should be paid by banks only to the extent of earnings from continuing operations.
Capital
The Federal Reserve Board's risk-based capital guidelines for bank holding companies were fully phased in at the end of 1992. Under the guidelines, the minimum ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets is 8%. At least half of the total capital is to be comprised of common equity, retained earnings and qualifying perpetual preferred stock, after subtracting goodwill and other intangibles (with certain limited exceptions), as described below ("Tier 1 capital"). The remainder ("Tier 2 capital") may consist of perpetual debt, mandatory convertible debt securities, a limited amount of subordinated debt, term preferred stock and a limited amount of loan loss reserves. The Bank is subject to similar capital requirements adopted by the OCC. In addition, the Federal Reserve Board requires a minimum leverage ratio (Tier 1 capital to total average assets, excluding goodwill and other ineligible intangibles) of 3% for bank holding companies that meet certain specified criteria, including having the highest regulatory rating. The rule indicates that the minimum leverage ratio should be at least 1-2% higher for bank holding companies that do not have the highest rating or that are undertaking major expansion programs. The OCC has adopted substantially identical minimum leverage ratio requirements. Failure to meet the applicable capital guidelines could subject a bank to a variety of enforcement remedies available to the federal regulatory authorities, including limitations on the ability to pay dividends, the issuance of a directive to increase capital, the termination of deposit insurance by the FDIC, and appointment of a conservator or receiver. On December 31, 1996, the Company had a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 12.6% and a total risk-based capital ratio of 13.6%. At that date, the Company had a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 7.3%.
Under the Federal Reserve Board's guidelines, the only types of intangible assets that may be included (i.e., not deducted from) in a bank holding company's capital are readily marketable mortgage servicing rights ("MSRs") and purchased credit card relationships ("PCCRs"), provided that, in the
aggregate, the total amount of MSRs and PCCRs included in capital does not exceed 50% of Tier 1 capital. PCCRs are subject to a separate sublimit of 25% of Tier 1 capital. The amount of MSRs and PCCRs that a bank holding company may include in its capital is limited to the lesser of (i) 90% of such assets' fair market value (as determined under the guidelines) or (ii) 100% of such assets' book value, each determined quarterly. Identifiable intangible assets (i.e., intangible assets other than goodwill) other than MSRs and PCCRs, including core deposit intangibles, acquired on or before February 19, 1992 (the date the Federal Reserve Board issued its original proposal for public comment) generally will not be deducted from capital for supervisory purposes, although they will continue to be deducted for purposes of evaluating applications filed by bank holding companies.
Effective January 1, 1998, the Federal Reserve Board, the FDIC, and the OCC amended their respective risk-based capital standards to take account of market risk in foreign exchange and commodity activities and in the trading of debt and equity instruments. Institutions with significant exposure to market risk would calculate their capital charges for market risk using their internal value-at-risk models, subject to parameters contained in the rule, and hold a commensurate amount of capital. It is anticipated that only about fifteen of the largest U.S. institutions plus a few small institutions will be affected by this rule. Because the Company and the Bank do not engage in foreign exchange and commodity activities, the Company does not believe it will be affected by the rule.
On August 2, 1995, the Federal Reserve Board, the FDIC, and the OCC published a joint notice of rulemaking revising their risk-based capital standards to take account of interest rate risk. The new rule provides that the agencies will consider a bank's exposure to declines in the economic value of its capital due to changes in interest rates as a factor that the agencies will consider in evaluating a depository institution's capital adequacy. On June 26, 1996, the Federal Reserve Board, the FDIC and the OCC issued a Joint Agency Policy Statement on Interest Rate Risk that establishes a framework to measure and monitor the level of interest rate risk at a depository institution. The agencies have indicated that they may adopt explicit minimum requirements for interest rate risk into their risk-based capital requirements at a future, unspecified date. The Company cannot assess at this point the impact, if any, that the Joint Agency Policy Statement and the proposed minimum requirements will have on its capital ratios.
FDICIA
FDICIA specifies, among other things, the following capital standard categories for depository institutions: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized. FDICIA imposes progressively more restrictive constraints on operations, management and capital distributions depending on the category in which an institution is classified. Each of the federal banking agencies has issued final uniform regulations that became effective December 19, 1992, which among other things, define the capital levels described above. Under the final regulations, a bank is considered "well-capitalized" if it (i) has a total risk-based capital ratio of 10% or greater, (ii) has a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6% or greater, (iii) has a leverage ratio of 5% or greater and (iv) is not subject to any order or written directive to meet and maintain a specific capital level for any capital measure. An "adequately capitalized" bank is defined as one that has (i) a total risk-based capital ratio of 8% or greater, (ii) Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 4% or greater and (iii) a leverage ratio of 4% or greater (or 3% or greater in the case of a bank with a composite CAMEL rating of 1). A bank is considered (A) "undercapitalized" if it has (i) a total risk-based capital ratio of less than 8%, (ii) a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of less than 4% or (iii) a leverage ratio of less than 4% (or 3% in the case of a bank with a composite CAMEL rating of 1); (B) "significantly undercapitalized" if the bank has (i) a total risk-based capital ratio of less than 6%, (ii) a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of less than 3% or (iii) a leverage ratio of less than 3%; and (C) "critically undercapitalized" if the bank has a ratio of tangible equity to total assets equal to or less than 2%. The applicable federal regulatory agency for a bank that is "well capitalized" may reclassify it as "adequately capitalized," or subject an "adequately capitalized" or "undercapitalized" institution to the
supervisory actions applicable to the next lower capital category, if it determines that the bank is in an unsafe or unsound condition or deems the bank to be engaged in an unsafe or unsound practice and not to have corrected the deficiency. As of December 31, 1996, the Bank met the definition of a "well capitalized" institution.
"Undercapitalized" depository institutions, among other things, are subject to growth limitations, are prohibited, with certain exceptions, from making capital distributions, are limited in their ability to obtain funding from a Federal Reserve Bank and are required to submit a capital restoration plan. The federal banking agencies may not accept a capital plan without determining, among other things, that the plan is based on realistic assumptions and is likely to succeed in restoring the depository institution's capital. In addition, for a capital restoration plan to be acceptable, the depository institution's parent holding company must guarantee that the institution will comply with such capital restoration plan and provide appropriate assurances of performance. If a depository institution fails to submit an acceptable plan, including if the bank holding company refuses or is unable to make the guarantee described in the previous sentence, it is treated as if it is "significantly undercapitalized." Failure to submit or implement an acceptable capital plan also is grounds for the appointment of a conservator or a receiver. "Significantly undercapitalized" depository institutions may be subject to a number of additional requirements and restrictions, including orders to sell sufficient voting stock to become adequately capitalized, requirements to reduce total assets and cessation of receipt of deposits from correspondent banks. "Critically undercapitalized" institutions, among other things, are prohibited from making any payments of principal and interest on subordinated debt, and are subject to the appointment of a receiver or conservator.
Under FDICIA, the FDIC is permitted to provide financial assistance to an insured bank before appointment of a conservator or receiver only if (i) such assistance would be the least costly method of meeting the FDIC's insurance obligations, (ii) grounds for appointment of a conservator or a receiver exist or are likely to exist, (iii) it is unlikely that the bank can meet all capital standards without assistance and (iv) the bank's management has been competent, has complied with applicable laws, regulations, rules and supervisory directives and has not engaged in any insider dealing, speculative practice or other abusive activity.
FDICIA also contains a variety of other provisions that may affect the operations of the Company including reporting requirements, regulatory standards for real estate lending, "truth in savings" provisions, and the requirement that a depository institution give 90 days prior notice to customers and regulatory authorities before closing any branch. FDICIA also contains a prohibition on the acceptance or renewal of brokered deposits by depository institutions that are not "well capitalized" or are "adequately capitalized" and have not received a waiver from the FDIC.
FDICIA provides the federal banking agencies with significantly expanded powers to take enforcement action against institutions which fail to comply with capital or other standards. Such action may include the termination of deposit insurance by the FDIC or the appointment of a receiver or conservator for the institution.
Interstate Banking Legislation
The Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 was enacted into law on September 29, 1994 and provides that, among other things, substantially all state law barriers to the acquisition of banks by out-of-state bank holding companies are eliminated effective as of September 29, 1995. The law will also permit interstate branching by banks effective as of June 1, 1997, subject to the ability of states to opt-out completely or to set an earlier effective date. The Company anticipates that the effect of the new law will be to increase competition within the markets in which it now operates, although the Company cannot predict the extent to which competition will increase in such markets or the timing of such increase.
Employees
As of December 31, 1996, the Bank had 130 full-time equivalent employees, up 36.8% from 95 employees at the end of 1995. The Company's operations are conducted through the Bank and consequently, the Company does not have any separate employees.
Item 2.
Item 2. Properties
The Bank currently operates out of ten offices and a non-customer operations center. The Company's first banking office and administrative office are located at 201 North Marion Street, Lake City, Florida, in a three-story historic building. The building was extensively renovated in 1986 and contains approximately 22,000 square feet of which approximately one-third is leased to business tenants at annual rates ranging from $10.49 to $13.64 per square foot. The real estate encompasses one full city block in downtown Lake City. The White Avenue, Live Oak office contains approximately 6,000 square feet and was constructed subsequent to that office opening in 1988. The Fort White and Macclenny offices contain approximately 2,200 and 2,400 square feet, respectively. The Macclenny office renovation was completed in 1996 and includes a colonial design, improved service areas and the installation of an Automated Teller Machine. The Baya Avenue, Lake City facility was built in 1971 and is a two-story building containing approximately 10,100 square feet. Subsequent to a full renovation in 1994, this facility also houses the Bank's loan operations center on the second floor. The South Ohio Avenue, Live Oak office was constructed in 1984 and contains approximately 2,000 square feet. The Company plans to renovate this office during 1997. The Starke office is a two story, 8,000 square foot building located on a 28,000 square foot parcel of real estate. The Bank currently uses the entire first floor of the building for business, while the second floor is available for future expansion or leasing. Resulting from the acquisition on September 1, 1996, of the Riherd Bank Holding Company, three additional offices are being operated. The Lake Butler office was constructed in 1993 with approximately 6,750 square feet. The Northwood, Gainesville office was purchased by Farmer & Dealers Bank in August, 1994 and contains approximately 2,000 square feet. The Alachua County, Gainesville office was constructed in 1990 on the north side of Gainesville. The office is a two-story building much like the Lake Butler office and contains approximately 4500 square feet. In July of 1995 the Bank purchased property located on U.S. Highway 90 West, in Lake City. Construction began on February 17, 1997 on what will house the Bank's third Lake City office to more fully allow the Bank to serve its intense commercial area. In the fourth quarter of 1996 the Company purchased and began renovations on a facility, approximately 7000 square feet, which will house most of the Bank's non-customer operations.
All properties, including land, improvements, furniture, fixtures, and equipment are owned by the Bank and had a total net book value at December 31, 1996, of approximately $9.5 million. In the opinion of the Company's management, the properties are adequately covered by insurance.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
No matter was submitted to a vote of security holders during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year covered by this report.
PART II
Item 5.
Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters
The Company's articles of incorporation authorize it to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock. As of March 1, 1997, there were 1,937,905 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding to 529 holders of record, and 47,790 shares subject to currently exercisable options. There is currently no established public trading market for the Company's stock and it is not expected that any such market will develop in the foreseeable future. Transactions in the Company's common stock are infrequent and negotiated privately between the persons involved in those transactions.
Company dividends for 1996 consisted of the payment of quarterly cash dividends in the amount of $0.05 per common share outstanding on February 5 and May 5, and $0.06 per common share outstanding on August 5 and November 5. Payment was made to 1,639,733 holders of record on January, April and July 25, and 1,937,905 on October 25, 1996. The $0.22 total dividend paid in 1996 reflects an increase of 22.2% compared to $.18 total paid in 1995 ($0.04 per common share outstanding on February 5 and May 5, and $0.05 on August 5 and November 5, to 1,639,733 holders of record on January 25, April 25, July 25 and October 25, 1995, respectively).
The Company had issued $274,250 of ten-year $10 Series A Mandatory Convertible Subordinated Debentures callable on or after November 1, 1992. On November 15, 1996, the Company exercised its call option on these debentures, resulting in an early redemption penalty of $8,228.
Item 6.
Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following tables set forth certain selected statistical information and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Company and the Bank included elsewhere herein. The Company has no foreign operations; accordingly, there are no assets or liabilities attributable to foreign operations. In comparing 1996 to 1995, it should be noted at the close of business on August 31, 1996, CNB completed the acquisition of Riherd Banking Company and its subsidiary, Farmers and Dealers Bank. Assets of $48.0 million were acquired in exchange for 298,172 of CNB common stock and $2.7 million cash. The financial results since September 1, 1996, applicable to that transaction are included in this report.
In 1996, the FDIC assessed financial institutions to recapitalize the Savings Association Insurance Fund (SAIF). During the third quarter of 1996, the Company recognized a $205,000 expense, net of applicable taxes, or $0.12 per common share, representing its portion of the SAIF assessment. This one time assessment should be considered when analyzing the Company's 1996 financial performance.

Overview
Record earnings of $2.3 million, or $1.33 per share, were achieved during 1996 and exceeded 1995's earnings by $472,000, or 25.6%. This past year's earnings also produced a return on average assets of 1.14% and a return on average stockholders' equity of 13.88%, compared to 1.06% and 13.24%, respectively, for 1995. Without the SAIF impact, per share results would have been $1.45 in 1996, as compared to $1.12 in 1995, or an increase of 29.5%. The significant factors contributing to the improvement in earnings were the growth in operating revenue net of interest expense and improved overhead expense as a percentage of that revenue. Total assets were $254.9 million at December 31, 1996 compared to $176.7 on December 31, 1995, a $78.2 million or 44.3% growth. Stockholders' equity was $19.7 million at the close of 1996, compared to $14.8 million in 1995, due to net earnings retention of $2.3 million less $379,000 cash dividends to shareholders, coupled with $2.9 million resulting from shares issued in conjunction with the Riherd transaction.
Total loans as a percentage of total deposits improved to 65.6% at December 31, 1996, from 64.4% at year-end 1995. The improved loan to deposit ratio is a result of increased total loans by $46.5 million, or 45.4%, while deposits have increased by $67.8 million, or 42.7%. Therefore, loan growth during this past year was the main contributor to the $1.7 million, or 25.1%, increase in net interest income, as compared to 1995.
Liquidity and capital ratios remain well within regulatory limits. Total non-performing assets decreased by $253,000 to $404,000 in 1996 from $657,000 in 1995, a reduction of 38.5%. Non-performing assets as a percentage of total assets decreased to 0.16% in 1996 from 0.37% in 1995.
Dividends paid in 1996 were $0.22 per share, representing an earnings per share payout of 16.5%.
Results of Operations
Improved earnings are mainly attributable to a 25.1% increase in net-interest income to $8.5 million, from $6.8 million in 1995. The total average loan portfolio, which is the largest and highest yielding component of earning assets, increased as a percentage of average earning assets to 63.5% from 59.3% in 1995. The higher yield in 1996 is a result of both higher interest rates on securities and loan volume, which increased steadily throughout the year. The improved loan ratio is a result of increasing average loans by $24.0 million, or 25.7%, while average assets have increased by $28.3 million, or 16.3%. The Company's total average investments increased by $3.2 million, or 4.9% to $67.4 million in 1996, compared to $64.3 million in 1995. Provision for loan losses increased $105,000 to $335,000 or 45.7% from $230,000 in 1995, in direct correlation to the higher average loans outstanding. Non-interest expenses, net of non-interest income, increased $888,000, or 24.0%, to $4.6 million in 1996 compared to $3.7 million in 1995. Non-interest expenses as a percentage of average total assets were up slightly to 3.1% at December 31, 1996, compared to 3.0% for the year ended 1995.
Net Interest Income/Margins
Net interest income, the primary source of revenue for the Bank, increased by 25.1% to $8.5 million in 1996, from $6.8 million in 1995. Total average assets increased by 16.3%, as the Company enjoyed a higher level of earning assets in 1996. The higher yield in 1996 is a result of both higher interest rates on securities and loan volume. Net interest margins grew to 4.59% in 1996, from 4.30% in 1995, reflective of a more favorable mix of earning assets. Yields on securities available-for-sale increased to 6.06% from 5.15% in 1995, or an increase of 17.7%, which was primarily due to maturing low-yielding securities, purchased in late 1993 and 1994 following the Company's acquisition of the Anchor Savings Bank offices, being replaced with higher-yielding investments. Table 1: "Average Balances - Yields and Rates", below, indicates the Company's average volume of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities for 1996 and 1995. Other components of earning assets as well as rates on interest-bearing liabilities were impacted by the modest decline in market rates in 1996, as compared to 1995. Total earning asset yields increased to 8.16% in 1996 from 8.08%, while rates on interest-bearing liabilities
decreased to 4.13% from 4.32% in 1995. Average time deposits for 1996 represented 51.5% of total average deposits, compared to 53.6% a year earlier. Average demand deposits, as a percentage of total average deposits, increased to 13.1% from 11.9% a year ago. Table 1a: "Analysis of Changes in Interest Income and Expense", below, indicates that the change in interest income was due mainly to volume increases in the loan portfolio, while the change in interest expense was primarily due to increased volume in NOW, Money Market and Time Deposits.
Table 1: Average Balances - Yields and Rates
- ---------- (1) Interest income on average loans includes loan fee recognition of $410,000 and $401,000 in 1996 and 1995 respectively. (2) Represents the average rate earned minus average rate paid. (3) Represents net interest income divided by total earning assets.
Table 1a: Analysis of Changes in Interest Income and Expense
- ---------- (1) The volume variance reflects the change in the average balance outstanding multiplied by the actual average rate during the prior period. (2) The rate variance reflects the change in the actual average rate multiplied by the average balance outstanding during the prior period.
Non-Interest Income
Non-interest income increased by 20.2% to $1.8 million in 1996 from $1.5 million in 1995. As a percentage of average assets, there was a modest increase to 0.88% from 0.85 in 1995. This increase is due mainly to fees and revenues generated from demand deposit accounts with other non-interest components contributing proportionately.
Non-Interest Expense
Non-interest expense increased by $1.2 million, or 23.0% for the year ended 1996, as compared to 1995. When analyzing this ratio, we would call attention to the one-time SAIF assessment of $327,000 before-tax effect; without the SAIF impact the increase would have only been 16.6%. Salaries and employee benefits have increased $413,000 from 1995; however, as a percentage of average total assets they are essentially unchanged. With the celebration of our 10 year anniversary, added emphasis was placed on marketing the bank, resulting in a $71,000, or 42.4% increase. Occupancy and equipment expenses have increased 20.7%, due mainly to added expenses resulting from facilities and equipment acquired in the merger with Farmer and Dealers Bank of Lake Butler, as well as the Operations Center which houses the Company's items processing and check imaging systems. At the end of 1996, non-interest expenses as a percentage of average total assets were slightly up to 3.1%, compared to 3.0% for 1995.
The overhead efficiency ratio, which is the percentage of overhead expense to total revenue less interest expense and provision for loan losses, has improved to 64.1% from 64.4% for the year ended December 31, 1996, compared to 1995. When the impact of the special SAIF assessment is discounted, the overhead ratio improved to 60.8%. The improvement in the efficiency ratio is materially influenced by the improvements in net interest income and continued improvements with the management of expenses. The following table details the areas of significant non-interest expense.

Liquidity and Interest Rate Sensitivity
Interest rate sensitivity refers to the responsiveness of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities to changes in market interest rates. The rate sensitive position, or gap, is the difference in the volume of rate-sensitive assets and liabilities, at a given time interval, including both floating rate and instruments which are approaching maturity. The measurement of the Company's interest rate sensitivity, or gap, is one of the principal techniques used in asset and liability management. Management generally attempts to maintain a balance between rate-sensitive assets and liabilities as the exposure period is lengthened to minimize the overall interest rate risks to the Company. In the future, the Company will attempt to maintain, with respect to management's expectations of interest rate changes in the immediate twelve months, a cumulative gap position within plus, or minus, 20% of total assets.
The asset mix of the balance sheet is continually evaluated in terms of several variables: yield, credit quality, appropriate funding sources and liquidity. Management of the liability mix of the balance sheet focuses on expanding the various funding sources.
The interest rate sensitivity position at year-end 1996 is presented in Table 3 - "Rate Sensitivity Analysis." The difference between rate-sensitive assets and rate-sensitive liabilities, or the interest rate sensitivity gap, is shown at the bottom of the table. The Company would benefit from increasing market rates when it is asset sensitive and would benefit from decreasing market rates when it is liability sensitive. At December 31, 1996, the Company had a liability sensitive gap (more liabilities than assets subject to repricing within the stated time frame) of $25.0 million within a one-year period. This suggests that if interest rates should decline over this period, the net interest margin should improve, and if interest rates should increase, the net interest margin should decline. Since all interest rates and yields do not adjust at the same velocity, the gap is only a general indicator of rate sensitivity.
Table 3: Rate Sensitivity Analysis December 31, 1996
- ---------- (1) Includes Interest Bearing Deposits of $141,000. (2) Includes equity in Federal Home Loan Bank of $586,000 and Federal Reserve Bank of $518,000. Securities are shown at their amortized cost, excluding market value adjustment for unrealized gains of $105,000. (3) Total Loans including Unearned Discount of $161,000 (4) Certain deposit accounts are included in the After Five Years category. If these deposit accounts had been included in the Within Three Months category, the ratio of cumulative gap to total earning assets would have been (28.80) for the one year category at December 31, 1996.
The Bank's gap and liquidity positions are formally reviewed quarterly by management to determine whether or not changes in policies and procedures are necessary to achieve financial goals. Included in the review is an internal analysis of the possible impact on net interest income due to market rate changes of plus and minus 1%. In the rate sensitivity analysis, current average rates within the repricing periods of affected balance sheet categories are adjusted to an historical percentage of market change according to each rate shock scenario. The adjusted rates are then substituted in interest computations and compared to actual results. These efforts will continue to provide the tools necessary in the Company's attempt to maximize its primary earnings factor: net interest income.
Liquidity represents the ability to provide steady sources of funds for loan commitments and investment activities, as well as to provide sufficient funds to cover deposit withdrawals and payment of debt and operating obligations. These funds can be obtained by converting assets to cash or by attracting new deposits. Average liquid assets (cash and amounts due from banks, interest-bearing deposits in other banks, federal funds sold and securities available-for-sale) totaled $63.2 million and represented 34.8% of average total deposits during 1996, compared to $30.4 million and 19.6% for 1995. At the end of 1995 banks were granted an opportunity to restructure their securities portfolios according to availability for sale. The Bank, thereby, reclassed $30.1 million of its securities held to maturity as those available for sale, in effect increasing its liquidity position in anticipation of the need for future loan demand. Average loans were 64.7% and 60.3% of average deposits for 1996 and 1995, respectively. As noted in Table 5 - "Loan Portfolio Composition", approximately $129.4 million, or 87.0%, of the loan portfolio consisted of commercial loans, real estate mortgage loans and real estate construction loans. Approximately 14.1% of the portfolio matures within one year.
Core deposits, which represent all deposits other than time deposits in excess of $100,000, averaged 91.4% of total deposits in 1996 and 92.0% in 1995. The Bank closely monitors its reliance on time deposits in excess of $100,000, which are generally considered less stable and less reliable than core deposits. The Bank does not nor has it ever solicited brokered deposits. Table 4, below, sets forth the amounts of time deposits with balances of $100,000 or more that mature within indicated periods.

Lending Activities
The local markets served by the Company continued to experience solid loan demand, fueled by an increase in commercial, commercial real estate and residential mortgages. Because loans are expected to produce higher yields than securities and other interest-earning assets (assuming that loan losses are not excessive), the absolute volume of loans and the volume as a percentage of total earning assets is an important determinant of net interest margin. During 1996, average loans were $117.4 million and were 63.5% of average earning assets, compared to $93.4 million and 59.3% for 1995. Average loans increased by $24.0 million, or 25.7%, during 1996. On December 31, 1996, the Company's loan-to-deposit ratio stood at 65.6%, compared to 64.4% at the end of 1995. The following table compares the composition of the Company's loan portfolio as of December 31, 1996, to 1995. This loan portfolio composition is expected to stay roughly the same in 1997.
Table 5: Loan Portfolio Composition
The following table sets forth the maturity distribution for selected components of the Company's loan portfolio including unearned discounts of $161,000 on December 31, 1996. Demand loans and overdrafts are reported as due in one year or less, and loan maturity is based upon scheduled principal payments.

Loan Quality
Total non-performing assets decreased by $253,000 to $404,000 in 1996 from $657,000 in 1995, a reduction of 38.5%. Non-performing assets as a percentage of total assets decreased to 0.16% in 1996 from 0.37% in 1995. Non-accrual loans have decreased $285,000 since December 31, 1995. The decrease in non-accrual loans since December 31, 1995 was attributable to loans which have been liquidated without significant losses, with the exception of one $55,000 charge-off during 1996.

The allowance for loan losses represents a reserve for potential losses in the loan portfolio. On an ongoing basis, management attempts to maintain the allowance for loan losses at levels sufficient to provide for potential losses inherent to the loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision charged to expense. Loans are charged against the allowance when it is recognized that collection of the principal is unlikely. The allowance for loan losses on December 31, 1996, was 0.94% of total loans. Table 8 Allocation of Allowance for Loan Losses, set forth below, indicates the specific reserves allocated by loan type.

The determination of the reserve level rests upon management's judgment about factors affecting loan quality and assumptions about the economy. Management considers the period-end allowance appropriate and adequate to cover possible losses in the loan portfolio; however, management's judgment is based upon a number of assumptions about future events, which are believed to be reasonable, but which may or may not prove to be valid. Thus, there can be no assurance that charge-offs in future periods will not exceed the allowance for loan losses or that additional increases in the allowance for loan losses will not be required. Table 9: Activity in Allowance for Loan Losses, below, indicates activity in the allowance for loan losses for the year 1996 as compared to 1995.

Capital Resources
The OCC regulates risk based capital guidelines for national banks. These guidelines are intended to provide an additional measure of a bank's capital adequacy by assigning weighted levels of risk to asset categories. Banks are also required to systematically hold capital against such "off balance sheet" activities as loans sold with recourse, loan commitments, guarantees and standby letters of credit. These guidelines are intended to strengthen the quality of capital by increasing the emphasis on common equity and restricting the amount of loss reserves and other forms of equity such as preferred stock that may be included in capital.
Under the terms of the guidelines, banks must meet minimum capital adequacy based upon both total assets and risk adjusted assets. All banks are required to maintain a minimum ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets of 8% and a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 4%. Adherence to these guidelines has not had an adverse impact on the Company or the Bank. Selected capital ratios at year-end 1996 as compared to 1995 are as follows:

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION
Organization
CNB, Inc. (the "Company") is a registered bank holding company incorporated in Florida. The Company operates a wholly-owned banking subsidiary, CNB National Bank (the "Bank"), which is chartered as a national bank in Lake City, Florida. The Bank is a member of the Federal Reserve System and conducts business from a total of ten offices in north Florida. During 1996, the Company acquired another banking institution as more fully discussed in Note 3.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the Bank. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Reclassification
Certain amounts and captions presented in the 1995 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 1996 presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on total assets, liabilities, equity or operations as previously reported.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Securities
Securities Available for Sale
Securities which are used for asset/liability, liquidity, and other funds management purposes are deemed to have indefinite holding periods (securities available for sale). These securities are accounted for on a fair value basis with market adjustments charged or credited directly to shareholders' equity, net of any associated income tax effect.
Securities Held to Maturity
Securities where the Company's intent and ability is to hold to maturity (securities held to maturity) are stated at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts.
Amortization and accretion of premiums and discounts are recognized as adjustments to interest income. Realized gains and losses are recognized using the specific identification method.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses
Loans are stated at the amount of unpaid principal, reduced by an allowance for loan losses and any unearned loan income. Interest on substantially all loans other than installment loans is calculated by using the simple interest method on daily balances of the principal amounts outstanding except for those classified as nonaccrual loans. The accrual of interest is discontinued when future collection of principal or interest in accordance with the contractual terms may be doubtful. Interest on some installment loans is recognized under the rule-of-78s method, the results of which are not materially different than the interest method.
Loan fees, net of loan origination costs, are capitalized and amortized as yield adjustments over the respective loan terms using a method which does not differ significantly from the interest method. For 1996 and 1995, loan fees included in interest and fees on loans amounted to $410,033 and $400,602, respectively.
The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged to operations. Loans are charged against the allowance for loan losses when management believes that the collectibility of the principal is unlikely. The allowance is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb possible losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible based on evaluations of the collectibility of loans. The evaluations take into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, review of specific problem loans and current economic conditions that may affect the borrowers' ability to pay. Accrual of interest is discontinued on loans that are past due 90 days or more as to principal or interest unless substantially collateralized and in process of collection, or sooner, if in the opinion of management the borrowers' financial condition is such that collection of principal or interest is doubtful.
Premises and Equipment
Premises and equipment are stated at cost less allowances for depreciation. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expenses as incurred. Gains and losses on dispositions are reflected in operations.

Intangibles
The Company has intangible assets with a carrying amount of $1,726,000 and $928,000 at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Substantially all of the intangibles at December 31, 1995 relate to core deposits acquired in prior years' acquisitions. Core deposit intangibles are being amortized over a ten year period using the straight-line method. During 1996, goodwill was added in connection with the acquisition discussed in Note 3. Goodwill is being amortized over fifteen years using the straight-line method. Goodwill had a carrying amount of $957,000 at December 31, 1996. Amortization charged against operations for all intangibles was $158,465 and $150,862 for 1996 and 1995, respectively.
Income Taxes
The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes. This method requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.
The Company and the Bank file consolidated federal and state income tax returns. Under a tax-sharing arrangement, income tax charges or credits are generally allocated to the Company and the Bank on the basis of their respective taxable income or loss included in the consolidated income tax return as determined by the separate return method.
Cash Flow Information
For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and due from banks, interest-bearing deposits in other banks, and federal funds sold. Cash paid for interest and income taxes was $6,632,799 and $1,247,912, respectively, during 1996, and $5,479,743 and $930,047, respectively, during 1995.
In connection with the acquisition discussed in Note 3, the Company received cash of approximately $2.9 million, loans and securities of $42.3 million and premises, equipment and other assets of $2.8 million, and assumed deposits and other liabilities of $43.4 million. The acquisition was effected by the payment of approximately $2.7 million cash and issuance of common stock of the Company.

NOTE 3 - 1996 ACQUISITION
On August 31, 1996, the Company acquired Riherd, Inc. (Riherd), and its wholly-owned subsidiary bank, Farmers and Dealers Bank (F & D) in Lake Butler, Florida. F & D operated from its Lake Butler headquarters and two branch offices in Alachua County. The acquisition was effected through the Company's issuance of 298,172 of its common shares valued at approximately $2.9 million and the payment of approximately $2.7 million in cash to Riherd's shareholders. As a part of this transaction, Riherd and F & D were merged into the Company and the Bank, respectively.
The acquisition was accounted for by the Company as a purchase transaction and resulted in goodwill of approximately $990,000. Goodwill is being amortized over a fifteen year period on a straight-line basis. Amortization during 1996 was $21,448. Operating results of Riherd and F & D from January 1 through August 31, 1996 were treated as a part of the net assets purchased. Their operations after August 31, 1996 are included in the accompanying 1996 consolidated statement of operations.

Certain officers and directors, and companies in which they held a 10 percent or more beneficial ownership, were indebted (or, in some cases, guaranteed loans) to the Bank as follows:
1996 1995 ----------- ----------- Balance January 1 $ 1,811,794 $ 1,955,014 New loans and advances 2,904,192 2,025,274 Repayments (excluding renewals) (2,683,258) (2,168,494) ----------- ----------- Balance December 31 $ 2,032,728 $ 1,811,794 =========== ===========
The loans summarized above were made in the normal course of business at prevailing interest rates and terms.
NOTE 14 - DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS
The Company's primary source of funds is dividends it receives from the Bank. The payment of dividends by the Bank, in turn, is subject to the regulations of the Comptroller of the Currency which require, among other things, that dividends be paid only from net profits of the current and immediately preceding two years. At December 31, 1996, the Bank had approximately $2,166,000 of retained earnings available for dividend to the Company without being required to seek special regulatory approvals.
NOTE 15 - STOCK OPTIONS
The Company's President and several key officers have been granted incentive stock options to purchase the Company's common stock. Generally, the options become exercisable 20% in each year following the year of grant, and expire ten years after the date they first become exercisable. For all options granted thus far, the grant price is equal to the deemed fair value of a share of stock as of the date of grant (generally the book value).
Options to purchase 64,908 shares have been granted to the Company's officers as of December 31, 1996. Of this total, 47,790 options are currently exercisable, all of which are at prices less than the December 31, 1996 book value of the Company's stock. None of the options granted has been exercised.
Under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", the Company is not required to recognize or disclose any compensation costs that might be associated with these options, since no options were granted in 1996 or 1995. Exercise prices for the 64,908 options outstanding at both December 31, 1996 and 1995 range from $6.11 to $10.40. The weighted average price is $7.72, and the remaining contractual life is 7.7 years.

CNB, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
NOTE 16 - REGULATORY MATTERS
The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory - and possibly additional discretionary - actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Bank's financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank's assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank's capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of Total and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier I capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). If such minimum amounts and ratios are met, the Bank is considered "adequately capitalized". If a bank exceeds the requirements of "adequately capitalized" and meets even more stringent minimum standards, it is considered to be "well capitalized". Management believes that as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, the Bank meets and exceeds all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.
As of December 31, 1996, the most recent notification from the Bank's regulatory agency categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized the Bank must maintain Total risk-based, Tier I risk-based, and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the table which follows. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the institution's category.

NOTE 17 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Financial Instruments With Off-Balance-Sheet Risk
The financial statements do not reflect various commitments and contingent liabilities that arise in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of customers. These include commitments to extend credit and honor stand-by letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, interest rate and liquidity risks in excess of amounts reflected in the balance sheets. The extent of the Bank's involvement in these commitments or contingent liabilities is expressed by the contractual, or notional, amounts of the instruments.
Commitments to extend credit, which amount to $12,355,074 and $10,029,608 at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, represent legally binding agreements to lend to customers with fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses. Since many commitments are expected to expire without being funded, committed amounts do not necessarily represent future liquidity requirements. The amount of collateral obtained, if any, is based on management's credit evaluation in the same manner as though an immediate credit extension were to be granted.

CNB, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
NOTE 17 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED)
Financial Instruments With Off-Balance-Sheet Risk (Continued)
Stand-by letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank guaranteeing the performance of a customer to a third party. The decision whether to guarantee such performance and the extent of collateral requirements are made considering the same factors as are considered in credit extension. The Company had $232,000 and $598,000 outstanding on stand-by letters of credit at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
The Company expects no significant losses to be realized in the performance of its obligations under any of the above instruments.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
The Bank originates residential and commercial real estate loans, and other consumer and commercial loans primarily in the north-central Florida area. In addition, the Bank occasionally purchases loans, primarily in Florida. Although the Bank has a diversified loan portfolio, a substantial portion of its borrowers' ability to repay their loans is dependent upon economic conditions in the Bank's market area.
Use of Estimates in Preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements
The process of preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the use of estimates and assumptions regarding certain types of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. For the Company, such estimates significantly affect the amount at which the allowance for loan losses is carried, the amount of the deferred tax assets that are dependent upon future taxable income and the likelihood and timing of realization of such assets, the factors and amounts entering into the estimate of fair value of financial instruments disclosed in Note 18, and other accounts. All such estimates relate to unsettled transactions and events as of the date of the financial statements and, accordingly, upon settlement it is likely that actual amounts will differ from currently estimated amounts.
Federal Reserve Requirement
The Federal Reserve Board requires that certain banks maintain reserves, based on their average deposits, in the form of vault cash and average deposit balances at a Federal Reserve Bank. The requirement as of December 31, 1996 was approximately $2.4 million.

NOTE 18 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The table which follows shows the estimated fair value and the related carrying amounts of the Company's financial instruments at December 31, 1996.
For purposes of this disclosure, the estimated fair value for cash and cash equivalents is considered to approximate their carrying amounts. The estimated fair value for securities is based on quoted market values for the individual or equivalent securities. The estimated fair value for loans is based on interest rates the Company would have charged borrowers at December 31, 1996 for similar loans, maturities and terms.
The estimated fair value for demand and savings deposits is based on their carrying amount. The estimated fair value for time deposits is based on rates the Company offered at December 31, 1996 for deposits of similar remaining maturities. The estimated fair value for other financial instruments and off-balance-sheet loan commitments are considered to approximate carrying amount at December 31, 1996. Assets and liabilities of the Company that are not defined as financial instruments, such as premises and equipment, are excluded from these disclosures.
Carrying Estimated Amount Fair Value -------- -------- (In Thousands) Financial Assets Cash and cash equivalents $ 22,880 $ 22,880 Securities available for sale 60,761 60,866 Securities held to maturity 10,009 9,722 Net loans 147,428 147,605
Financial Liabilities Demand and Savings Deposits 112,313 112,313 Time Deposits 114,511 114,494 Repurchase agreements 3,766 3,766 Notes payable 2,650 2,650
Non-financial instruments typically not recognized in the financial statements nevertheless may have value but are not included in the above disclosures. These include, among other items, the estimated earnings power of core deposit accounts, the earnings potential of loan servicing rights, customer goodwill, and similar items.
While these estimates of fair value are based on management's judgment of the most appropriate factors, there is no assurance that, were the Company to have disposed of such items at December 31, 1996, the estimated fair values would necessarily have been achieved at that date, since market values may differ depending on various circumstances.
