</TABLE>

Basic income per common share is calculated by dividing net income less
dividends paid on preferred stock by the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding. On a diluted basis, both net income and common shares
outstanding are adjusted to assume the conversion of the convertible subordinate
debentures. Additionally, in determining net income per common share, quarterly
dividends paid on preferred stock have been adjusted to reflect the
Corporation's annual dividend payment.

4. Purchase and assumption of deposits

On June 25, 2004, CNB consummated the purchase and assumption of $80.7 million
of deposit liabilities from two financial institutions, including $25.6 million
of money market deposit accounts and $55.1 million of certificates of deposit.
CNB paid a premium of $701,000, equal to 2.75% of the balance of active


                                       6
<PAGE>
money market deposits that it assumed and also received $2.6 million,
representing a net discount on the purchase of certain certificates of deposit
that were acquired.

The premium paid for the money market accounts will be amortized as an addition
to interest expense over the estimated five-year average life of the deposits.
The net discount will be accreted as a reduction of interest expense over the 2
-1/2 year estimated average remaining life of the related certificates of
deposit.

5. Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2003 consolidated financial
statements in order to conform with the 2004 presentation.

6. Recent accounting pronouncements

The Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") of the Financial Accounting Standards
Board ("FASB") has issued an accounting guidance covering the impairment of
investment securities. The EITF would require entities to record impairment
losses if the entity does not have the ability and intent to hold an impaired
investment until a forecasted market price recovery of the investment cost, or
it is probable that the entity will be unable to collect all amounts due
according to the terms of the security.

The EITF is effective for annual periods beginning after June 15, 2004, except
for impairment losses incurred as a result of changes in interest rates, for
which the effective date has been delayed until the first quarter of 2005.

Item 2

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS

The purpose of this analysis is to provide information relevant to understanding
and assessing the Corporation's results of operations for the first nine months
and third quarter of the current and previous years and financial condition at
the end of the current quarter and previous year-end.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This management's discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements
within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such
statements are not historical facts and include expressions about management's
expectations about new and existing programs and products, relationships,
opportunities, and market conditions. Such forward-looking statements involve
certain risks and uncertainties. These include, but are not limited to,
unanticipated changes in the direction of interest rates, effective income tax
rates, loan prepayment assumptions, deposit growth, the direction of the economy
in New Jersey and New York, continued levels of loan quality, continued
relationships with major customers as well as the effects of general economic
conditions and legal and regulatory issues and changes in tax regulations.
Actual results may differ materially from such forward-looking statements. The
Corporation assumes no obligation for updating any such forward-looking
statements at any time.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The primary source of the Corporation's income comes from net interest income,
which represents the excess of interest earned on earning assets over the
interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities. This income is subject to
interest rate risk resulting from changes in interest rates. The most
significant component of the Corporation's interest earning assets is the
investment portfolio. In addition to the aforementioned interest rate risk, the
portfolio is subject to credit risk.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net income declined to $493,000 for the third quarter of 2004 from $505,000 for
the same 2003 quarter. Related earnings per share on a diluted basis were $3.56
and $3.69. Net income rose 27.9% to $1,541,000 for the first nine months of 2004
from $1,205,000 for the similar 2003 period. Related


                                       7
<PAGE>
earnings per share on a diluted basis rose to $11.28 from $8.72. Higher net
interest income was the primary reason for the earnings improvement.

Both the third quarter of 2004 and 2003, as well as the first nine months of
2004 and 2003, included the accretion of deferred income into interest income as
an earnings enhancement. This income was received from the U.S. treasury CDFI
Fund for purchasing long-term certificates of deposits from banks in low-income
areas at below market rates and extending credit at below-market rates to
consumers in low-income areas. The amount if the accretion income recorded as
earnings is summarized as follows:

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS

FINANCIAL CONDITION

At September 30, 2004, total assets rose to $349.1 million from $236.4 million
at the end of 2003, while total deposits rose 53.8% to $305.1 million from
$198.4 million. On June 25, 2004, the Bank consummated the purchase and
assumption of $80.7 million in deposit liabilities from two other financial
institutions, comprising most of the increases. Average assets also rose during
the first nine months of 2004, increasing $42.4 million, or 25.7% to $286.8
million from $228.1 million a year earlier. Deposit growth comprised most of
this growth, with most of the proceeds going into the investment portfolio.

Federal funds sold

Federal funds sold increased to $20.5 million at September 30, 2004 from $4.5
million at the end of 2003, while the related average balance rose to $21.7
million for the first nine months of 2004 from $13.2 million for the first nine
months of 2003. Federal funds sold balances were higher due to continued excess
liquidity resulting from the deposit acquisition.

Interest bearing deposits with banks

Interest bearing deposits with banks declined by $3.3 million at September 30,
2004 from December 31, 2003 due to the maturity and repayment of deposits issued
the U.S. Treasury CDFI Fund Bank Enterprise Award Program.

Investments

The investment securities available for sale ("AFS") portfolio rose to $124.5
million at September 30, 2004 from $47.3 million at the end of 2003, while the
net related unrealized loss of $32,000 that existed at December 31, 2003
reverted to a gain of $113,000 due to a decline in long-term interest rates. The
increase in the portfolio balance resulted from the investment of the proceeds
received in the deposit acquisition. Most of the increase in the portfolio
consisted of mortgage-backed securities ("MBS"), as the Corporation continued to
mitigate its interest rate risk by acquiring securities with relatively short
average lives, and cash flow. The cash flow will allow reinvestment of proceeds
into higher yielding investments as rates rise. The weighted average life of the
portfolio declined to 4.99 years from 9.16 at the end of 2003 due to the
short-term investments of the acquired deposits.

There was little activity in the held to maturity portfolio during the first
nine months of 2004.


                                       8
<PAGE>
As a result of the Corporation's continuing acquisition of MBS's, such
securities totalled $78.2 million, representing 49.7% of the entire investment
portfolio at September 30, 2004 compared to 25% at the end of 2003.

Loans

Loans increased to $153.3 million at September 30, 2004 from $131.8 million
December 31, 2003, while average loans rose 21.6% to $136.3 million for the
first nine months of 2004 from $112.1 million in the first nine months of 2003.
Most of the increase occurred in the commercial real estate portfolio, which
comprises the major component of the loan portfolio.

Provision and reserve for loan losses

Changes in the reserve for loan losses are set forth below.

</TABLE>

The allowance losses is a critical accounting policy and is maintained at a
level determined by management to be adequate to provide for inherent losses in
the loan portfolio. The reserve is increased by provisions charged to operations
and recoveries of loan charge-offs. The reserve is based on management's
evaluation of the loan portfolio and several other factors, including past loan
loss experience, general business and economic conditions, concentrations of
credit and the possibility that there may be inherent losses in the portfolio
which cannot currently be identified. Although management uses the best
information available, the level of the reserve for loan losses remains an
estimate which is subject to significant judgment and short-term change.

</TABLE>

Nonperforming loans declined to $940,000 at September 30, 2004 from $1,236,000
at December 31, 2003 due primarily to a decrease in real estate loans past due
ninety days but still accruing.

There were no impaired loans at September 30, 2004 or December 31, 2003, nor
were there any impaired loans during the nine months of 2004 or 2003.

DEPOSITS

The Bank's deposit levels may change significantly on a daily basis because
deposit accounts maintained by municipalities represent a significant part of
the Bank's deposits and are more volatile than commercial or retail deposits.
These municipal accounts represent a substantial part of the Bank's deposits,
and tend to have high balances and comprised most of the Bank's accounts with
balances of $100,000 or more at September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003. These
accounts are used for operating and short-term investment purposes by the
municipalities.

Additionally, there is no assurance that the Bank will be able to retain the
acquired deposits, most of which are not from the Bank's market area.

While the collateral maintenance requirements associated with the Bank's
municipal and U.S. Government account relationships might limit the ability to
readily dispose of investment securities used as such collateral, management
does not foresee any need for such disposal, and in the event of the withdrawal
of any of these deposits, these securities are readily marketable.

Total deposits rose $106.7 million to $305.1 million at September 30, 2004 from
$198.4 million at the end of 2003, while average deposits increased 26.8%, to
$245.6 million for the first nine months of 2004 from $193.7 million for the
first nine months of 2003. These increases occurred due to the aforementioned
deposit acquisition.

Total demand deposits declined slightly to $34.3 million at September 30, 2004
from $34.5 million at December 31, 2003, while average demand deposits for the
first nine months of 2004 rose to $34 million from $33.1 million for the first
nine months of 2003. Total savings accounts, which include passbooks and
statement savings accounts along with money market and Super NOW accounts, rose
to $141.7 million at September 30, 2004 from $106 million at the end of 2003,
while savings balances averaged $122.8 million in the first nine months of 2004
compared to $107.2 million in the first nine months of 2003.


                                       10
<PAGE>
Money market deposit accounts totalled $81.1 million at September 30, 2004
compared to $44.8 million at the end of 2003. Money market accounts averaged $58
million for the first nine months of 2004 compared to $40.8 for the same period
of 2003, an increase of 42.2%. Both increases resulted from the deposit
acquisition, which included $25.5 million of money market deposit accounts.
Super NOW accounts totalled $26.6 million at September 30, 2004 compared to $28
million at the end of 2003, and averaged $30.6 million for the first nine months
of 2004 compared to $32.6 million in the first nine months of 2003. The growth
in money market accounts resulted primarily from the deposit acquisition.

Passbook and statement savings accounts totalled $33.9 million at September 30,
2004, compared to $33.1 million at December 31, 2003 and averaged $34.2 million
for the first nine months of 2004, up slightly from $33.7 million for the same
period in 2003.

Time deposits increased to $129.1 million at September 30, 2004 from $57.9
million at the end of 2003 and averaged $88.8 million for the first nine months
of 2004 compared to $53.5 million for the similar 2003 period.

Short-term borrowings

Short-term borrowings totalled $30,000 September 30, 2004, compared to $890,000
at December 31, 2003, while related average balances were $694,000 for the first
nine months of 2004 compared to $836,000 for the first nine months of 2003.
These borrowings are comprised primarily of U.S. treasury tax and loan note
option balances, which may be withdrawn at any time.

Long-term debt

Long-term debt rose to $22.9 million at September 30, 2004, from $19.3 million
at December 31, 2003 due to the issuance of $4 million of subordinated
debentures during March, 2004 to an unconsolidated subsidiary trust. The
securities were issued at a floating rate based on one-month LIBOR plus 290
basis points, callable in five years, and are due in March 2034. The related
average balances were $22 million for the first nine months of 2004 compared to
$16.9 million for the same period in 2003, with the issuance of the subordinated
debentures comprising most of the increase.

Capital

Risk-based capital ratios are expressed as a percentage of risk-adjusted assets,
and relate capital to the risk factors of a bank's asset base, including
off-balance sheet risk exposures. Various weights are assigned to different
asset categories as well as off-balance sheet exposures depending on the risk
associated with each. In general, less capital is required for less risk.

Capital levels are managed through asset size and composition, issuance of debt
and equity instruments, treasury stock activities, dividend policies and
retention of earnings.

At September 30, 2004, the Corporation's leverage, core capital (Tier 1) and
total (Tier 1 plus Tier 2) risked-based capital ratios were 5.87%, 11.26% and
13.87%, respectively, while the Bank's ratios were 5.64%, 10.86% and 12.09%.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net interest income

In the third quarter of 2004, net interest income on a tax equivalent basis rose
4.5%, to $2,344,000 from $2,244,000 for the same 2003 period, while the net
interest margin declined to 2.74% from 4.14%. The increased income resulted from
higher levels of earning assets. The lower interest margin was due to the
negative impact of carrying most of the acquired deposits proceeds in short-term
investments. The third quarter of 2004 included the accretion of deferred income
totalling $39,000 into interest income from


                                       11
<PAGE>
loans and interest bearing deposit with banks compared to $96,000 in the same
quarter of 2003.

For the first nine months of 2004, net interest income on a tax equivalent basis
rose 9.6% to $7,256,000 from $6,618,000 for the same 2003 period, while the
related net interest margin declined to 3.58% from 4.20%. The increased net
interest income resulted from higher levels of investments and loans, while the
negative impact of carrying most of the acquired deposits proceeds resulted in a
62 basis point decrease in net interest margin. An increase in accretion of
deferred income into interest income to $508,000 from $288,000 contributed to
this improvement. Excluding the accretion income, net interest margin would have
been 3.32% in 2004 compared to 4.02% in 2003.

For the first nine months of 2004, the cost to fund interest earning assets rose
six basis points, from 1.55% to 1.61%. This resulted from a lower portion of
noninterest bearing deposits used to fund earning assets than in 2003.

Interest income from Federal funds sold increased by 66.1% due primarily to the
liquidity resulting from the deposit acquisition.

Interest income on deposits with other banks declined in the first nine months
of 2004 compared with a year earlier period due to the maturity of $3.5 million
of deposits issued under the U.S. Treasury CDFI Fund Bank Enterprise Award
program. Accordingly, interest income from deposits with banks will continue to
decline significantly during the remainder of 2004 compared to 2003.

Interest income on taxable investment securities rose 28.3% in the first nine
months of 2004 compared to the similar 2003 period due to the investment of the
acquired deposits. The taxable investment portfolio averaged $101.5 million in
2004 compared to $72.7 million in 2003 with most of the increase occurring in
shorter-term weighted average life mortgage-backed securities.

Interest income on loans rose 8.1% due to higher loan volume as well as due to
the aforementioned increase in yield enhancement. The most significant change
occurred in the mortgage portfolio, which averaged $115.1 million in the first
nine months of 2004, compared to $94.6 million a year earlier, an increase of
21.7%. Average total loans rose 21.6%, to $136.3 million in 2004 compared to
$112.1 million a year earlier.

The deposit acquisition has had a negative impact on the net interest margin
during the third quarter of 2004, because a significant part of the deposit
proceeds have been invested in highly liquid short-term investments until the
amount of deposit runoff can be determined.

Other operating income

Other operating income, including the results of investment securities
transactions, was relatively unchanged during both the third quarter of 2004 and
the nine months ended September 30, 2004 compared to the same periods of 2003.

Other operating expenses

Other operating expenses rose 8.1% in the third quarter of 2004 to $2,276,000
from $2,106,000 in the third quarter of 2003, with the increase attributable
primarily to lower higher security costs and occupancy and equipment expense.
Other operating expenses in the first nine months of 2004 rose 3.6% to
$6,646,000 from $6,415,000 a year earlier for the same reasons, along with
higher audit fees.

Income tax expense

Income tax expense as a percentage of pretax income declined in the first three
months of 2004 to 27.3% compared to 32.8% for the first three months of 2003 due
to higher tax-exempt income levels from bank-owned life insurance. For the first
nine months of 2004, the percentage was 29.7% compared to 34.1% a year earlier
for the same reason.

Provision for loan losses

The provision for loan losses rose to $27,000 in the third quarter of 2004
compared to $16,000 a year earlier, while the provision for the first nine
months of 2004 was 40.2% higher than the comparable 2003 period due to higher
charge-offs during the first half of 2004 than the previous year.

LIQUIDITY

The liquidity position of the Corporation is dependent on the successful
management of its assets and liabilities so as to meet the needs of both deposit
and credit customers. Liquidity needs arise primarily to accommodate possible
deposit outflows and to meet borrowers' requests for loans. Such needs can be
satisfied by investment and loan maturities and payments, along with the ability
to raise short-term funds from external sources.

It is the responsibility of the Asset/Liability Management Committee ("ALCO") to
monitor and oversee all activities relating to liquidity management and the
protection of net interest income from fluctuations in interest rates.

The Bank depends primarily on deposits as a source of funds and also provides
for a portion of its funding needs through short-term borrowings, such as
Federal Funds purchased, securities sold under repurchase agreements and
borrowings under the U.S. Treasury tax and loan note option program. The Bank
also utilizes the Federal Home Loan Bank for longer-term funding purposes.
Finally, the holding company utilizes the capital markets when necessary, having
raised $4 million through the issuance of subordinated debt during the first
quarter of 2004.

The major contribution during the first nine months of 2004 from operating
activities to the Corporation's liquidity came from net income, while the
highest use of cash was for the origination of loans to be sold in the secondary
market.

Net cash used in investing activities was primarily for purchases of investment
securities available for sale, while sources of cash provided by investing
activities were derived primarily from proceeds from maturities, principal
payments and early redemptions of investment securities available for sale. The
volume of purchases rose compared to 2003 due to the investment of the deposit
acquisition proceeds.

The major contribution during the first nine months of 2004 from financing
activities was from the deposit acquisition, while there were no significant
uses of funds.

Item 3

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Due to the nature of the Corporation's business, market risk consists primarily
of its exposure to interest rate risk. Interest rate risk is the impact that
changes in interest rates have on earnings. The principal objective in managing
interest rate risk is to maximize net interest income within the acceptable
levels of risk that have been established by policy. There are various
strategies which may be used to reduce interest rate risk, including the
administration of liability costs, the reinvestment of asset maturities and the
use of off-balance sheet financial instruments. The Corporation does not
presently utilize derivative financial instruments to manage interest rate risk.

Interest rate risk is monitored through the use of simulation modeling
techniques, which apply alternative interest rate scenarios to periodic
forecasts of changes in interest rates, projecting the related impact on net
interest income. The use of simulation modeling assists management in its
continuing efforts to achieve earnings growth in varying interest rate
environments.

                                       13
<PAGE>
Key assumptions in the model include anticipated prepayments on mortgage-related
instruments, contractual cash flows and maturities of all financial instruments,
deposit sensitivity and changes in interest rates.

These assumptions are inherently uncertain, and as a result, these models cannot
precisely estimate the effect that higher or lower rate environments will have
on net interest income. Actual results may differ from simulated projections due
to the timing, magnitude or frequency of interest rate changes, as well as
changes in management's strategies.

The Corporation has become asset sensitive in anticipation of higher interest
rates. Accordingly, the Corporation has become more susceptible to interest rate
risk in a decreasing rate environment. Based on the results of the most recent
interest simulation model, if interest rates increased 100 basis points from
current rates in an immediate and parallel shock, net income would increase five
percent. If rates decreased 100 basis points, pretax income would decline by
33.2%.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In May of 1998, CNB commenced a lawsuit against an entity that acted as an agent
for CNB in the sale of CNB's money orders, and certain affiliates of such entity
for fraud and other damages. CNB alleged, among other things, that at various
times during its business relationship with the defendants, the defendants
stole, misappropriated, hypothecated or embezzled a sum of approximately
$805,000 from CNB. CNB has been awarded a $1.7 million judgment, representing
the loss, cost of collection and interest.

CNB has filed appropriate proofs of loss under various insurance policies,
including CNB's fidelity bond. The amount that CNB will ultimately recover, if
any, under these insurance policies or from the judgment cannot be determined.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

During the third quarter of 2004, the Corporation carried out an evaluation,
under the supervision of the Corporation's Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer and with the participation of the Corporation's management,
including the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Corporation's
disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Act
Rule 13a-14. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer concluded that the Corporation's disclosure controls and
procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information
relating to the Corporation's financial statements required to be included in
the Corporation's periodic Securities and Exchange Commission filings. No
changes were made in the Corporation's internal controls or in other factors
that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their
evaluation.
