ITEM 1. Description of Business
DESCRIPTION OF CNB CORPORATION
CNB Corporation (the "Company") is a South Carolina business corporation organized for the purpose of becoming a bank holding company for The Conway National Bank (the "Bank") under the Bank Holding Company Act. The Company was organized with $500 of capital on March 8, 1985; received approval from the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System on May 15, 1985, to become a bank holding company; and on June 10, 1985, acquired, in exchange for its own shares of common stock, substantially all of the common stock of the Bank. The activities of the Company are subject to the supervision of the Federal Reserve, and the Company may engage directly or through subsidiary corporations in those activities closely related to banking which are specifically permitted under the Bank Holding Company Act. See "Supervision and Regulation." Although the Company, after obtaining the requisite approval of the Federal Reserve and any other appropriate regulatory agency, may seek to enter businesses closely related to banking or to acquire existing businesses already engaged in such activities, the Company has not conducted, and has no present intent to conduct, negotiations for the acquisition or formation of any entities to engage in other permissible activities other than the acquisition of the Bank. There can be no assurance that the Company will form or acquire any other entity.
The Company and the Bank compete with those banks and other financial institutions that compete with the Bank. See "Competition." In addition, if the Company attempts to form or acquire other entities and engage in activities closely related to banking, the Company will be competing with other bank holding companies and companies currently engaged in lines of business or permissible activities in which the Company might engage, many of which have far greater assets and financial resources than the Company and a greater capacity to raise additional debt and equity capital than the Company.
DESCRIPTION OF THE SUBSIDIARY
The Bank is an independent community bank engaged in the general commercial banking business in Horry County, South Carolina. The Bank was organized on June 5, 1903 as the Bank of Horry located on Main Street in Conway, South Carolina. The Bank became a national bank operating as The Conway National Bank in 1914. On June 10, 1985, the Bank was reorganized into a bank holding company structure when substantially all of the common stock of the Bank was acquired by CNB Corporation in exchange for its own shares of common stock. In 1960, the Bank opened its first additional office at 1400 Third Avenue in Conway. Since that time, the following offices have been opened in Horry County: Coastal Mall in Conway (1969); Surfside in Surfside Beach (1971); Northside, north of Myrtle Beach (1977); Red Hill in Conway (1981); Socastee, in the southern portion of Myrtle Beach (1986); and Aynor in the Town of Aynor (1991). The Surfside office was enlarged in 1977 and 1984, and the Coastal Mall office was expanded in 1980. The Third Avenue office, which houses the Bank's administrative offices and data processing facilities was expanded in 1982 from 11,150 square feet to 33,616 square feet. Construction of a new 12,000 square foot, 12-person, Myrtle Beach office began in December, 1994 and is scheduled to open in June, 1995. The Bank employs approximately 167 full-time-equivalent employees at its principal office and seven branch offices.
The Bank performs the full range of normal commercial banking functions. Some of the major services provided include checking accounts, NOW accounts, money market deposit accounts, IRA accounts, savings and time deposits of various types and loans to individuals for personal use, home mortgages, home improvement, automobiles, real estate, agricultural purposes and business needs. Commercial lending operations include various types of credit for business, industry, and agriculture. In addition, the Bank offers safe deposit boxes, wire transfer services, bank money orders, 24-hour teller machines on the HONOR Network, direct deposits and a MasterCard/Visa program. Through a correspondent relationship the Bank offers discount brokerage services. The Bank does not provide trust services; does not sell annuities; and does not sell mutual funds.
The majority of the Bank's customers are individuals and small to medium-sized businesses headquartered within the Bank's service area. The Bank has no material concentration of deposits from any single customer or group of customers. No significant portion of the Bank's loans is concentrated within a single industry or group of related industries. There are no material seasonal factors that would have any adverse effect on the Bank nor does the Bank rely on foreign sources of funds or income.
COMPETITION
The Bank actively competes with other institutions in Horry County in providing customers with deposit, credit and other financial services. The principal competitors of the Bank include local offices of six regional banks, two state-wide banks, five locally owned banks in Horry County and various other financial and thrift institutions. The regional banks with offices in Horry County are Nationsbank of S.C., First Union National Bank of S.C., United Carolina Bank of S.C., First Citizens Bank and Trust Company, Southern National Bank of S.C.and Wachovia, N.A. of S.C.. The statewide banks with offices in Horry County are National Bank of South Carolina and Carolina First Savings Bank. The locally owned banks having offices in Horry County are The Anchor Bank of Myrtle Beach, Anderson Brothers Bank, Coastal Federal Savings Bank, Horry County State Bank and First National South Bank. In addition, one thrift institution has offices in Horry County. The Bank also competes with credit unions, money market funds, brokerage houses, insurance companies, mortgage companies, leasing companies, consumer finance companies and other financial institutions. Significant competitive factors include interest rates on loans and deposits, prices and fees for services, office location, customer service, community reputation, and continuity of personnel.
SUPERVISION AND REGULATION
General
The Company and the Bank are subject to an extensive collection of state and federal banking laws and regulations which impose specific requirements and restrictions on, and provide for general regulatory oversight with respect to, virtually all aspects of the Company's and the Bank's operations. The Company and the Bank are also affected by government monetary policy and by regulatory measures affecting the banking industry in general. The actions of the Federal Reserve System affect the money supply and, in general, the Bank's lending abilities in increasing or decreasing the cost and
availability of funds to the Bank. Additionally, the Federal Reserve System regulates the availability of bank credit in order to combat recession and curb inflationary pressures in the economy by open market operations in United States government securities, changes in the discount rate on member bank borrowings, changes in the reserve requirements against bank deposits and limitations on interest rates which banks may pay on time and savings deposits.
During 1989 and 1991, the United States Congress enacted two major pieces of banking legislation: The Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989 ("FIRREA") and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA"). The FIRREA and FDICIA have significantly changed the commercial banking industry through, among other things, revising and limiting the types and amounts of investment authority, significantly increasing minimum regulatory capital requirements, and broadening the scope and power of federal bank and thrift regulators over financial institutions and affiliated persons in order to protect the deposit insurance funds and depositors. These laws, and the resulting implementing regulations, have subjected the Bank and the Company to extensive regulation, supervision and examination by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC). This has resulted in increased deposit insurance premiums and increased administrative, professional and compensation expenses in complying with a substantially increased number of new regulations and policies. The regulatory structure created by these laws gives the regulatory authorities extensive authority in connection with their supervisory and enforcement activities and examination policies.
The following is a brief summary of certain statutes, rules and regulations affecting the Company and the Bank. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the particular statutory and regulatory provisions referred to below and is not intended to be an exhaustive description of the statutes or regulations applicable to the business of the Company and the Bank. Any change in applicable laws or regulations may have a material adverse effect on the business and prospects of the Company and the Bank.
The Company
The Company is a bank holding company within the meaning of the Federal Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the "BHCA") and is registered as such with the Federal Reserve. The Company is required to file annual reports and other information regarding its business operations and those of its subsidiaries. It is also subject to supervision and regular examinations.
The BHCA requires every bank holding company to obtain the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board before (i) it or any of its subsidiaries (other than a bank) acquires substantially all of the assets of any bank, (ii) it acquires ownership or control of any voting shares of any bank if after such acquisition it would own or control, directly or indirectly, more than 5% of the voting shares of such bank, or (iii) it merges or consolidates with any other bank holding company.
The BHCA and the Federal Change in Bank Control Act, together with regulations promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board, require that, depending on the particular circumstances, either the Federal Reserve Board's approval must be obtained or notice must be furnished to the Federal Reserve Board and not disapproved prior to any person or company acquiring control of a bank holding company, such as the Company, subject to certain exemptions for certain transactions.
Under the BHCA, a bank holding company is generally prohibited from engaging in, or acquiring direct or indirect control of more than 5% of the voting shares of any company engaged in, nonbanking activities, unless the Federal Reserve Board, by order or regulation, has found those activities to be so closely related to banking or managing or controlling banks as to be a proper incident thereto. Some of the activities that the Federal Reserve Board has determined by regulation to be proper incidents to the business of a bank holding company include making or servicing loans and certain types of leases, engaging in certain insurance and discount brokerage activities, performing certain data processing services, acting in certain circumstances as a fiduciary or investment or financial adviser, owning savings associations and making investments in certain corporations or projects designed primarily to promote community welfare. The Company is also restricted in its activities by the provisions of the Glass-Stegall Act of 1933, which prohibits the Company from owning subsidiaries that are engaged principally in the issue, flotation, underwriting, public sale or distribution of securities. The regulatory requirements to which the Company is subject also set forth various conditions regarding the eligibility and qualifications of its directors and officers.
The Bank
The Bank is subject to regulation and supervision, of which regular bank examinations are a part, by the Comptroller of the Currency. The Bank is a member of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC") which currently insures the deposits of each member bank to a maximum of $100,000 per depositor. For this protection, each bank pays a statutory assessment and is subject to the rules and regulations of the FDIC. The Company is an "affiliate" of the Bank within the meaning of the Federal Reserve Act and the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, which imposes restrictions on loans by any subsidiary bank to the Company, on investments by any subsidiary bank in the stock or securities of the Company and on the use of such stock or securities as collateral security for loans by any subsidiary bank to any borrower. The Company will also be subject to certain restrictions with respect to engaging in the business of issuing, underwriting and distributing securities.
DESCRIPTION OF BANK STOCK
The Bank is authorized to issue 199,536 shares and has outstanding 193,536 shares of Bank Stock. The holders of Bank Stock are entitled to one vote per share. Holders of shares of Bank Stock have preemptive rights to purchase additional shares of Bank Stock and have cumulative rights in the elections of directors of the Bank. The National Bank Act generally provides for a majority vote of the Bank Stock to approve an action by the Bank but a two- thirds vote of the outstanding shares of Bank Stock is required to approve certain fundamental changes.
The National Bank Act, 12 U.S.C. Section 55, provides for the pro rata assessment of holders of common stock of a national bank in the event that its capital becomes impaired, such assessment to be enforced by sale to the extent necessary of the stock of the stockholder failing to pay his assessment. However, the Company has been advised that the Comptroller of the Currency has not used this provision in recent years. Accordingly, the shares of Bank Stock are subject to such assessment. However, the Bank's management does not anticipate the Bank Stock being assessed in this manner in the foreseeable future.
The holders of Bank Stock are entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared by the Board of Directors of the Bank out of funds legally available therefor. National banking laws and regulations impose restrictions on the payment of dividends and other distributions to stockholders. The National Bank Act provides that a national bank cannot pay dividends or other distributions to stockholders out of any portion of its capital and surplus, and that no dividend shall be paid by a bank in an amount greater than its "net profits then on hand" (as defined in the National Bank Act), after deduction of statutory "bad debts." In addition, 12 U.S.C. Section 60 provides that the approval of the Comptroller of the Currency is required for the payment of dividends by a national bank if the total of all dividends declared by the bank in any calendar year shall exceed the total of its "net profits" of that year combined with its "retained net profits" of the preceding two years. The same section further provides that, until the surplus fund of a national bank shall equal its common capital, no dividends shall be declared unless there has been carried to the surplus fund not less than one-tenth part of the bank's net profits of the preceding half year in the case of quarterly or semiannual dividends, or not less than one-tenth part of its net dividends. Also, under 12 U.S.C. Section 1818, the Comptroller of the Currency can restrict a national bank's dividend payments if they are deemed an unsafe or unsound banking practice.
In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the Bank, the holders of outstanding shares of Bank Stock will be entitled to share pro rata according to their respective interests in the Bank's assets and funds remaining after payment or provision for payment of all debts and other liabilities of the Bank.
DESCRIPTION OF COMPANY STOCK
General
The Company is authorized to issue 500,000 shares of Company Stock and as of December 31, 1994, has 479,093 shares issued and 477,325 shares outstanding. The holders of Company Stock are entitled to one vote per share. Holders of shares of Company Stock do not have pre-emptive rights to purchase any additional shares of Company Stock and do not have cumulative voting rights in the election of directors. Without pre-emptive rights, stockholders could experience dilution of their voting power and of their equity interest in the Company.
The ability of the Company to pay dividends to the holders of the Company Stock depends upon the amount of dividends paid by the Bank to the Company. The holders of shares of Company Stock will be entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared by the Board of Directors of the Company out of the funds legally available therefor. The payment of dividends by the company are subject to the restrictions of South Carolina laws applicable to the declaration of dividends by a business corporation. Under such provisions, dividends may be paid in cash or in property of the Company, including the shares of other corporations, except when the Company is insolvent or would thereby be made insolvent or when the declaration of payment thereof would be contrary to any restrictions in the Company Articles. Dividends may be declared and paid only out of the unreserved and unrestricted earned surplus of the Company.
In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the Company, the holders of outstanding shares of Company Stock will be entitled to share pro rata according to their respective interests in the Company's assets and funds remaining after payment or provision for payment of all debts and other liabilities of the Company.
All shares of Company Stock are fully paid and nonassessable.
The Bank is the transfer agent for shares of Company Stock.

As of the quarter ended December 31, 1992, the Bank did not hold any securities of an issuer that exceeded 10% of stockholders' equity.
MATURITIES AND SENSITIVITY TO CHANGES IN INTEREST RATES
The Company's loan portfolio consisted of approximately $96,708,000 and $81,794,000 in fixed rate loans as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively. At December 31, 1994, fixed rate loans with maturities in excess of one year amounted to approximately $67,588,000. Variable rate loans are those on which the interest rate can be adjusted to changes in the Bank's prime rate. Fixed rate loans are those on which the interest rate generally cannot be changed for the term of the loan.
RISK ELEMENTS
The following information relates to certain assets which are defined as risk elements by the Securities and Exchange Commission. All loans which meet the criteria set forth by the Securities and Exchange Commission are detailed below, regardless of the likelihood of collection in full or in part. All loans classified for regulatory purposes as loss, doubtful, substandard, or especially mentioned that have not been disclosed do not represent or result from trends or uncertainties which management reasonably expects will materially impact future operating results, liquidity, or capital resources or represent material credits about which management is aware of any information which causes management to have serious doubts as to the ability of such borrower to comply with the loan repayment terms. As a matter of practice, loans which management has serious concerns about the borrower being able to pay are put into a non-accrual status and disclosed under Risk Elements. Management reviews these loans periodically and feels that the current reserve for possible loan losses more than adequately provides coverage for actual loss potential. Other interest-bearing assets considered a risk element are also detailed in this section.
NONACCRUAL, PAST DUE AND RESTRUCTURED LOANS
The following schedule summarizes the amount of nonaccrual, past due, and restructured loans, in thousands of dollars, for the periods ended December 1994, 1993, 1992, 1991, 1990:
December 31, 1994 1993 1992 1991 1990 Nonaccrual loans $1,062 $1,015 $1,091 $ 179 $ 667
Accruing loans which are contractually past due 90 days or more as to principal or interest payments $ 55 $ 221 $ 318 $ 334 $ 232
Restructed trouble debt None None None None None
Information relating to interest income on nonaccrual and renegotiated loans outstanding for the year ended December 31, 1994 is as follows:
Interest included in income during the year $ 22
Interest which would have been included at the original contract rates $ 72
Loans are placed in a non-accrual status when, in the opinion of management, the collection of additional interest is questionable. Thereafter no interest is taken into income unless received in cash or until such time as the borrower demonstrates the ability to pay principal and interest.
POTENTIAL PROBLEM LOANS
In addition to those loans disclosed under "Risk Elements", there are certain loans in the portfolio which are presently current but about which management has concerns regarding the ability of the borrower to comply with present loan repayment terms. Management maintains a loan review of the total loan portfolio to identify loans where there is concern that the borrower will not be able to continue to satisfy present loan repayment terms. Such problem loan identification includes the review of individual loans, loss experience, and economic conditions. Problem loans include both current and past due loans.
As of December 31, 1994, loans which management had serious concerns about the borrower being able to repay were put into a non-accrual status which are disclosed under "Risk Elements".
FOREIGN OUTSTANDINGS
As of the year ended December 31, 1994, the Company had no foreign loans outstanding.
LOAN CONCENTRATIONS
As of the year ended December 31, 1994, the Company did not have any concentration of loans exceeding 10% of total loans which are not otherwise disclosed as a category of loans pursuant to Item III. A. of Guide 3.
OTHER INTEREST-BEARING ASSETS
The Bank maintains an investment in an executive life insurance program through Confederation Life Insurance and Annuity Company, Inc.. During 1994 the Michigan Insurance Commission seized control of this United States Corporation due to a similar action by the Canadian regulatory authorities over the company's parent corporation, Confederation Life Insurance Company. Regulatory oversight began as concerns regarding investment losses of the parent corporation developed during 1993 and 1994. Management has determined that any impairment of the approximate $2,100,000 cash surrender value of the policies is remote due to the current financial stability of the U.S. subsidiary. Accordingly, no loss contingency has been provided for 1994.
As of December 31, 1994, the Company does not have any other interest-bearing assets that would be required to be disclosed under Item III. C. 1. or 2. if such assets were loans.
The reserve for loan losses is maintained at the greater of 1.20% of net loans or an amount that bears the same ratio to eligible loans as net charge-offs to average eligible loans over the past six years. In addition, the Asset/ Liability Management Committee and the Loan Committee review the adequacy of the reserve quarterly and make recommendations as to the desired amount of the reserve. Determination of the adequacy of the reserve is based on the above ratios and, but not limited to, considerations of classified and internally-identified problem loans, the current trend in delinquencies, the volume of past-due loans, and current or expected economic conditions. Based upon these factors, net charge-offs are anticipated to be approximately $275 during 1995.

ITEM 5.

ITEM 5. MARKET PRICE OF REGISTRANT'S COMMON STOCK AND RELATED SECURITY HOLDER MATTERS
As of December 31, 1994, there were approximately 562 holders of record of Company stock. There is no established market for shares of Company stock and only limited trading in such shares has occurred since the formation of the Company on June 10, 1985. Most of the limited trading transactions have been effected through the efforts of officers of the Company in matching interested purchasers with shareholders who have expressed an interest in selling their shares of Company stock. Some private trading of Company stock has occurred without any participation in the transaction by the officers of the Company other than to effect the transfer on the Company's shareholder records. Accordingly, management of the Company is not aware of the prices at which all shares of Company stock have traded. The following table sets forth the prices known to management of the Company at which shares of Company stock have traded in each quarter within the two most recent fiscal years adjusted for the effect of a 20% stock dividend paid during 1994.
1994 1993 High Low High Low
First Quarter $63.33 $63.33 $53.96 $53.96 Second Quarter $63.54 $63.33 $61.04 $53.96 Third Quarter $63.54 $63.54 $61.04 $61.04 Fourth Quarter $66.25 $63.54 $63.33 $61.04
Holders of shares of Company stock are entitled to such dividends as may be declared from time to time by the Board of Directors of the Company. The Company paid an annual cash dividend of $2.00 per share in 1994, 1993 and 1992, $1.50 per share in 1991, and $1.00 per share in the years 1985 through 1990. In addition, the Company may from time to time pay a stock dividend. The Company paid a 20% stock dividend in September, 1994, a 15% stock dividend in November, 1985, a 20% stock dividend in August, 1987 and a 50% stock dividend in July, 1989. There can be no assurance, however, as to the payment of dividends by the Company in the future since payment will be dependent upon the earnings and financial condition of the Company and the Bank and other related factors.
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
"Management's Discussion and Analysis" is provided to afford a clearer understanding of the major elements of the Company's financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, and capital resources. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial statements and notes thereto and other detailed information appearing elsewhere in this report.
Distribution of Assets and Liabilities
The Company maintains a conservative approach in determining the distribution of assets and liabilities. Loans, net of unearned income, increased .1% from $131,623 at December 31, 1992 to $131,734 at December 31, 1993; and 9.6% from December 31, 1993 to $144,363 at December 31, 1994. Loan growth is attributed to overall business development efforts to meet business and personal loan demand in our market area. Loan demand was flat in our market area in 1993 but strengthened during 1994. Loans, net of unearned income, decreased as a percentage of total assets from 49.1% at year-end 1992 to 46.5% at year-end 1993 but grew to 48.6% at year-end 1994. Correspondingly, investment securities and federal funds sold increased as a percentage of total assets from 44.0% at year-end 1992 to 46.1% at year-end 1993 but shrank to 43.7% at year-end 1994 as funds have been utilized to balance the ebb and flow of loan demand. Investments and federal funds sold provide for an adequate supply of secondary liquidity. Management has sought to build the deposit base with stable, relatively non-interest-rate sensitive deposits by offering the small to medium deposit account holders a wide array of deposit instruments at competitive rates. Non-interest-bearing demand deposits have increased as a percentage of total assets from 11.6% at December 31, 1992 to 12.5% at December 31, 1993 and 13.8% at December 31, 1994, but are expected to decline over the long-term as more customers utilize interest-bearing deposit and repo accounts. Interest-bearing deposits as a percentage of total assets decreased from 66.3% at December 31, 1992 to 64.9% at December 31, 1993 but increased slightly to 65.0% at December 31, 1994. Securities sold under agreement to repurchase increased from 10.9% to 11.2% and then declined to 9.9% over the same period.
The following table sets forth the percentage relationship to total assets of significant components of the Company's balance sheet as of December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992:
Results of Operation
CNB Corporation and subsidiary experienced earnings in 1994, 1993 and 1992 of $3,497, $3,297 and $2,906, respectively, resulting in a return of average assets of 1.18%, 1.17%, and 1.13% and a return on average stockholders' equity of 12.29%, 12.77% and 12.33%. The earnings were primarily attributable to favorable net interest margins in each period (see Net Income-Net Interest Income). Other factors include management's ongoing effort to maintain other income at adequate levels (see Net Income - Other Income) and to control other expenses (see Net Income - Other Expenses). These strong earnings, coupled with a conservative dividend policy, have supplied the necessary capital funds to support bank operations. Total assets were $297,120 at December 31, 1994 as compared to $283,380 at December 31, 1993 and $268,078 at December 31, 1992. The following table sets forth the financial highlights for fiscal years 1994, 1993, and 1992.
(1) For the fiscal years ended December 31, 1994, 1993, and 1992, average total assets amounted to $297,595, $281,494, and $256,837 with average stockholders' equity totaling $28,458, $25,815, and $23,563, respectively.
NET INCOME
Net Interest Income - Earnings are dependent to a large degree on net interest income, defined as the difference between gross interest and fees earned on earning assets, primarily loans and investment securities, and interest paid on deposits and borrowed funds. Net interest income is affected by the interest rates earned or paid and by volume changes in loans, investment securities, deposits, and borrowed funds.
The Bank has maintained strong net interest margins in 1994, 1993 and 1992 by earning adequate yields on loans and investments and funding these assets with a favorable deposit and repurchase agreement mix. Fully-tax-equivalent net interest income has grown from $11,257 in 1992 and $11,867 in 1993 to $12,735 in 1994. During the three-year period, total fully-tax-equivalent interest income decreased by 3.4% from $19,923 in 1992 to $19,236 in 1993 and increased 5.8% in 1994 to $20,348. Over the same period, total interest expense decreased by 15.0% from $8,666 in 1992 to $7,369 in 1993 and increased 3.3% to $7,613 in 1994. The significant decrease in 1993 interest income and interest expense was caused by a rapid decrease in market interest rates. The increase in 1994 interest income and expense reflects a rise in market interest rates coupled with higher volumes of bank assets and liabilities. Fully-tax-equivalent net interest income as a percentage of average total earning assets has moved in a narrow range from 4.7% in 1992 to 4.5% in 1993 and 4.6% in 1994.
Interest rates paid on deposits and borrowed funds and earned on loans and investments have generally followed the fluctuations in market interest rates in 1994, 1993, and 1992. However, fluctuations in market interest rates do not necessarily have a significant impact on net interest income, depending on the Bank's rate sensitivity position. A rate sensitive asset (RSA) is any loan or investment that can be repriced up or down in interest rate within a certain time interval. A rate sensitive liability (RSL) is an interest paying deposit or other liability that can be repriced either up or down in interest rate within a certain time interval. When a proper balance between RSA and RSL exists, market interest rate fluctuations should not have a significant impact on earnings. The larger the imbalance, the greater the interest rate risk assumed by the Bank and the greater the positive or negative impact of interest rate fluctuations on earnings. The Bank seeks to manage its assets and liabilities in a manner that will limit interest rate risk and thus stabilize long-run earning power. The following table sets forth the Bank's rate sensitivity position at each of the time intervals indicated. The table illustrates the Bank's rate sensitivity position on specific dates and may not be indicative of the position at other points in time. Management believes that a rise or fall in interest rates will not materially effect earnings.
NET INCOME (continued)
Provision for Possible Loan Losses - It is the policy of the bank to maintain the reserve for possible loan losses at the greater of 1.20% of net loans or the percentage based on the actual loan loss experience over the previous five years. In addition, management may increase the reserve to a level above these guidelines to cover potential losses identified during the ongoing in-house problem loan identification process. The Company includes the provisions of SFAS No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan", in the allowance for loan losses (see NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES). The provision for possible loan losses was $295 in 1994, $445 in 1993, and $745 in 1992. Net loan charge-offs totalled $245 in 1994, $304 in 1993, and $530 in 1992 with 1994 and 1993 net charge-offs being centered in consumer purpose loans. The reserve for possible loan losses as a percentage of net loans was 1.56% at December 31, 1994, 1.67% at December 31, 1993, and 1.57% at December 31, 1992.
Securities Transactions - Net unrealized gains/(losses) in the investment securities portfolio were $(4,646) at December 31, 1994, $2,855 at December 31, 1993 and $2,937 at December 31, 1992. The Bank did not recognize a gain or loss on security transactions in 1993 or 1992. The market value of investment securities declined during 1994 due to the rapid rise in overall market rates. Security losses of $167 were taken in 1994 in transactions to sell short-term low-yielding bonds and re-investing in higher-yielding intermediate-term bonds.
Other Income - Other income, net of losses on 1994 security sales, increased by 6.7% from $2,564 in 1992 to $2,735 in 1993 and 9.0% from $2,735 in 1993 to $2,981 in 1994. The increases were the result of higher volume in deposit and loan accounts and merchant discount income. Also, lower market interest rates beginning in 1992 through most of 1994 resulted in higher commercial account service charge income as account activity charges are offset to a lesser degree by earnings credits; and, in 1993, overall service charge rates were increased effective June 1.
Other Expenses - Other expenses increased by 4.6% from $8,461 in 1992 to $8,850 in 1993 and 8.5% from $8,850 in 1993 to $9,599 in 1994. The components of other expenses are salaries and employee benefits of $4,708, $4,927, and $5,285; occupancy and furniture and equipment expenses of $1,284, $1,341, and $1,550; and other operating expenses of $2,469, $2,582, and $2,764 for 1992, 1993, and 1994, respectively. The increase in salaries and employee benefits reflects compensation increments and the increased costs of providing employee benefits. The significant increase in occupancy and furniture and equipment expenses in 1994 was due to the purchase and installation as of June 30 of a new computer mainframe and software; upgraded communications equipment; and approximately ninety personal computers throughout the bank. In addition, other expenses were adversely affected by the loss of $116 on the disposal of electronic data processing (EDP) equipment previously in place. 1994 EDP purchases plus anticipated drive-up automated teller machine purchases in early 1995 will represent an expenditure of $1,050 which will increase depreciation/occupancy expense by approximately $131 per year for an eight-year period. Looking ahead, non- interest expense will also increase in 1995 and future years due to the construction, staffing, and equipping of a new 12,000 square foot, 12-person, Myrtle Beach office. Scheduled to open in June, 1995, this office will generate relatively little revenue in 1995 but salary/benefits and occupancy expenses associated with this office in 1995 are budgeted at $195 and $91, respectively. A major component of other operating expenses is FDIC insurance premiums which increased 7.4% from $448 in 1992 to $481 in 1993 and 3.7% from $481 in 1993 to $499 in 1994. It is possible that the FDIC premium rate will be reduced effective for the fourth quarter of 1995. Preliminary premium rate decreases discussed by the FDIC would reduce projected FDIC premium expense by $95 in 1995 and $390 in 1996.
NET INCOME (continued)
Income Taxes - Provisions for income taxes increased 45.0% from $1,030 in 1992 to $1,493 in 1993 and 11.0% from $1,493 in 1993 to $1,657 in 1994. The increase in income taxes is primarily due to an increase in income before income taxes of 21.7% from $3,936 in 1992 to $4,790 in 1993 and 7.6% from $4,790 in 1993 to $5,154 in 1994. Also, the utilization of tax-free income as a percentage of income before income taxes declined significantly in 1993 and to a lesser degree in 1994.
LIQUIDITY
The bank's liquidity position is primarily dependent on short-term demands for funds caused by customer credit needs and deposit withdrawals and upon the liquidity of bank assets to meet these needs. The bank's liquidity sources include cash and due from banks, federal funds sold and short-term investments. In addition, the bank has established federal funds lines of credit from correspondent banks and has the ability, on a short-term basis, to borrow funds from the Federal Reserve System. The Company has cash balances on hand of $2,358, $1,717, and $1,698 at December 31, 1994, 1993, and 1992 with liabilities, consisting of cash dividends payable, totalling $955, $794, and $797, respectively. Management feels that liquidity sources are more than adequate to meet funding needs.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
Total stockholders' equity was $28,857, $26,820, and $23,443 at December 31, 1994, 1993, and 1992, representing 9.71%, 9.46%, and 9.12% of total assets, respectively. At December 31, 1994, the Bank exceeds quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy (see NOTE 15 - REGULATORY RESTRICTIONS). Capital is considered sufficient by managment to meet current and prospective capital requirements and to support anticipated growth in bank operations.
EFFECTS OF INFLATION
Inflation normally has the effect of accelerating the growth of both a bank's assets and liabilities. One result of this inflationary effect is an increased need for equity capital. Income is also affected by inflation. While interest rates have traditionally moved with inflation, the effect on net income is diminished because both interest earned on assets and interest paid on liabilities vary directly with each other. In some cases, however, rate increases are delayed on fixed-rate instruments. Loan demand normally declines during periods of high inflation. Inflation has a direct impact on the Bank's non-interest expense. The Bank responds to inflation changes through readjusting non-interest income by repricing services.
EFFECTS OF REGULATORY ACTION
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) has indicated that FDIC insurance premium rates may be reduced effective in the fourth quarter of 1995. Such a decrease would have a positive effect on earnings in 1995 and subsequent years (see NET INCOME - Other Expenses). The management of the Company and the Bank is not aware of any other current recommendations by the regulatory authorities which, if they were to be implemented, would have a material effect on liquidity, capital resources, or operations.

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of CNB Corporation and Subsidiary at December 31, 1994 and 1993 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1994, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

CNB CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CNB Corporation ("the Company") and its majority-owned subsidiary, The Conway National Bank ("the Bank"). The Company and its subsidiary operate in one industry, domestic banking. All significant inter- company balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Concentrations of credit risk The Company, through its subsidiary, makes commercial and personal loans to individuals and small businesses located primarily in the South Carolina coastal region. The Company has a diversified loan portfolio and the borrowers' ability to repay their loans is not dependent upon any specific economic sector.
Cash and cash equivalents For purposes of the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents are defined as those amounts included in the balance sheet caption "Cash and Due from Banks". Cash and cash equivalents have an original maturity of three months or less.
Investment securities In 1994, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." Stockholders' equity has been restated in the consolidated statement of changes in stockholders' equity to reflect the effect of a change in accounting principle. Adoption of the standard had no effect on net income. The presentation of securities for 1993 is not affected by the adoption of SFAS No. 115 as retroactive presentation is not permitted. Such securities are presented as held to maturity as they are carried at cost, adjusted for the amortization of premiums and the accretion of discounts.
Debt securities are classified upon purchase as available for sale, held to maturity or trading. Such assets classified as available for sale are carried at market value. Unrealized holding gains or losses are reported as a component of stockholders' equity net of deferred income taxes. Securities classified as held to maturity are carried at cost, adjusted for the amortization of premiums and the accretion of discounts. In order to qualify as held to maturity, after 1993, the Company must have the intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. Trading securities are carried at market value. The Company has no trading securities. Gains or losses on disposition of securities are based on the difference between the net proceeds and the adjusted carrying amount of the securities sold, using the specific identification method.
Loans Interest on commercial loans is accrued and taken into income based upon the interest method. Interest on installment loans is accrued and taken into income based upon the sum-of-the-months-digits method. The results from the use of the sum-of-the-months-digits method are not materially different from those that would be obtained using the interest method.
Allowance for loan losses The allowance for loan losses is based on management's ongoing evaluation of the loan portfolio and reflects an amount that, in management's opinion, is adequate to absorb losses in the existing portfolio. In evaluating the portfolio, management takes into consideration numerous factors, including current economic conditions, prior loan loss experience, the composition of the loan portfolio, and management's estimate of anticipated credit losses. Loans are charged against the allowance at such time as they are determined to be losses. Subsequent recoveries are credited to the allowance. Management (Continued)
NOTE 1-SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
considers the year-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 valid. Thus, there can be no assurance that charge-off's 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.
Effective January 1, 1994, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan." SFAS No. 114, as amended by SFAS No. 118, requires that impaired loans be measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows or the underlying collateral values as defined in the pronouncement. The adoption of SFAS No. 114 had no effect on the balance sheet or income statement of the Company. The Company includes the provisions of SFAS No. 114 in the allowance for loan losses.
Premises and equipment Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are computed over the estimated useful lives of the assets using primarily accelerated methods. Additions to premises and equipment and major replacements or improvements are capitalized at cost. Maintenance, repairs and minor replacements are expensed when incurred. Gains and losses on routine dispositions are reflected in current operations.
Non-performing assets Non-performing assets include real estate acquired through foreclosure or deed taken in lieu of foreclosure, and loans on non-accrual status. Loans are placed in a non-accrual status when, in the opinion of management, the collection of additional interest is questionable. Thereafter no interest is taken into income unless received in cash or until such time as the borrower demonstrates the ability to pay principal and interest.
Income taxes Certain items of income and expense for financial reporting (principally accretion of bond discount, provision for loan losses and depreciation) are recognized differently for income tax purposes. Provisions for deferred taxes are made in recognition of such temporary differences as required under SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes."
Net income per share The Company's Board of Directors declared a twenty percent stock dividend issuable on October 10, 1994, to stockholders of record on September 16, 1994. Per share data have been restated to reflect this dividend.
Net income per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, 476,370 in 1994, 476,546 in 1993 and 477,389 in 1992.
Fair values of financial instruments Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments," as amended by SFAS No. 119, requires disclosure of fair value information for financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, when it is practicable to estimate the fair value. SFAS No. 107 defines a financial instrument as cash, evidence of an ownership interest in an entity or contractual obligations which require the exchange of cash or other financial instruments. Certain items are specifically excluded from the disclosure requirements, including the Company's common stock. In addition, other nonfinancial instruments such as premises and equipment and other assets and liabilities are not subject to the disclosure requirements. (Continued)
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - (Continued)
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Bank in estimating fair values of financial instruments as disclosed herein:
Cash and cash equivalents - The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents (cash on hand, due from banks, interest bearing deposits with other banks, and federal funds sold) approximate their fair value.
Investment securities held to maturity and available for sale - Fair values for investment securities are based on quoted market prices.
Loans - For variable rate loans that reprice frequently and for loans that mature within one year, fair values are based on carrying values. Fair values for all other loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, with interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. Fair values for impaired loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses or underlying collateral values, where applicable.
Deposits - The fair values disclosed for demand deposits are, by definition, equal to their carrying amounts. The carrying amounts of variable rate, fixed-term money market accounts and short-term certificates of deposit approximate their fair values at the reporting date. Fair values for long-term fixed-rate certificates of deposit 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.
Short-term borrowings - The carrying amounts of borrowings under repurchase agreements and U. S. Treasury demand notes, generally maturing within 90 days, approximate their fair values.
Off-balance sheet instruments - Fair values of off-balance sheet lending commitments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties' credit standing.
NOTE 2 - RESTRICTIONS ON CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS
The Bank is required to maintain average reserve balances either at the bank or on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank. The average amounts of these reserve balances for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993 were approximately $3,988,000 and $3,592,000, respectively.
(Continued)
At December 31, 1994 and 1993, non-accrual loans totaled $1,062,000 and $1,015,000, respectively and are included in other assets. The total amount of interest earned on non-accrual loans was $22,000 in 1994 and $10,000 in 1993. The gross interest income which would have been recorded under the original terms of the non-accrual loans amounted to $72,000 in 1994 and $82,000 in 1993.
Depreciation and amortization of bank premises and equipment charged to operating expense totaled $623,000 in 1994, $474,000 in 1993 and $442,000 in 1992.
The Bank enters into sales of securities under agreements to repurchase. These obligations to repurchase securities sold are reflected as liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. The dollar amount of securities underlying the agreements are book entry securities maintained at the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond. The weighted-average interest rate of these agreements was 4.29 percent and 3.01 percent at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively, and generally mature within ninety days. Securities sold under repurchase agreements averaged $35,037,000 and $35,278,000 during 1994 and 1993, respectively. The maximum amounts outstanding at any month-end were $41,537,000 and $38,722,000 during 1994 and 1993, respectively.
NOTE 8 - LINES OF CREDIT
At December 31, 1994, the Bank had unused short-term lines of credit to purchase Federal Funds from unrelated banks totaling $17,000,000. These lines of credit are available on a one to seven day basis for general corporate purposes of the Bank. All of the lenders have reserved the right to withdraw these lines at their option.
The Company has a demand note through the U.S. Treasury, Tax and Loan system with the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond. The Company may borrow up to $2,500,000 under the arrangement at an interest rate of 5.2%. The note is secured by U.S. Treasury Notes with a market value of $2,934,000 at December 31, 1994. The amount outstanding under the note totaled $2,494,000 and $2,492,000 at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
NOTE 9 - INCOME TAXES
The following summary of the provision for income taxes includes tax deferrals which arise from temporary differences in the recognition of certain items of revenue and expense for tax and financial reporting purposes (amounts in thousands):
Deferred income taxes of $194,000 and $164,000 are included in other liabilities on the balance sheets at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
The provision for income taxes is reconciled to the amount of income tax computed at the federal statutory rate on income before income taxes as follows (amounts in thousands):
NOTE 10 - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK
The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the statements of financial position. The contract amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Bank has in particular classes of financial instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on- balance-sheet instruments.
The contract value of the Company's off-balance-sheet financial instruments is as follows as of December 31, 1994 (amounts in thousands): Contract amount
Commitments to extend credit $14,149
Standby letters of credit $ 1,946
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates each customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained if deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit is based on management's credit evaluation.
NOTE 11 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
At December 31, 1994, the Bank was obligated under a number of non- cancelable operating leases on equipment and land used for branch offices that had an initial or remaining term of more than one year. Future minimum rental payments under these leases at December 31, 1994 were (amounts in thousands):
Payable in year ending Amount
1995 $ 58 1996 55 1997 53 1998 54 1999 56 2000 and thereafter 124
Total future minimum payments required $400
Lease payments under all operating leases charged to expense totaled $58,000 in 1994, $66,000 in 1993, and $70,000 in 1992. The leases provide that the lessee pay property taxes, insurance and maintenance cost.
As of December 31, 1994, the Company has entered into a contract for the construction of a new branch office for $1,686,000. Construction of the branch is expected to be completed by May, 1995. Total cost of the project is expected to be approximately $2.4 million.
The Company is party to litigation and claims arising in the normal course of business. Management, after consultation with legal counsel, believes that the liabilities, if any, arising from such litigation and claims will not be material to the Bank's financial position.
NOTE 12 - RESTRICTION ON DIVIDENDS
The ability of the Company to pay cash dividends is dependent upon receiving cash in the form of dividends from the Bank. Federal banking regulations restrict the amount of dividends that can be paid and such dividends are payable only from the retained earnings of the Bank. At December 31, 1994 the Bank's retained earnings were $23,909,000.
NOTE 13 - TRANSACTIONS WITH DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND ASSOCIATES
Directors and executive officers of the Company and the Bank and associates of such persons are customers of and had transactions with the Bank in the ordinary course of business. Additional transactions may be expected to take place in the future. Also, included in such transactions are outstanding loans and commitments, all of which were made on comparable terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for other customers of the Bank, and did not involve more than normal risk of collectibility or present other unfavorable features. Total loans to all executive officers and directors, including immediate family and business interests, at December 31, 1994 and 1993, were $2,573,000 and $2,813,000, respectively. During 1994, $313,000 of new loans were made to this group and repayments of $553,000 were received.
NOTE 14 - EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN
The Bank has a defined contribution pension plan covering all employees who have attained age twenty-one and have a minimum of one year of service. Upon ongoing approval of the Board of Directors, the Bank matches one-hundred percent of employee contributions up to one percent of employee salary deferred and fifty percent of employee contributions in excess of one percent and up to six percent of salary deferred. The Board of Directors may also make discretionary contributions to the Plan. For the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, $295,000, $273,000, and $218,000, respectively, was charged to operations under the plan.
The Company is self insured for major medical group insurance which it provides to its employees. Specific and aggregate excess reinsurance is carried by the Company to limit potential costs under the self insured plan.
Supplemental benefits are provided to certain key officers under The Conway National Bank Executive Supplemental Income Plan. This plan is not qualified under the Internal Revenue Code. The plan is unfunded. However, certain benefits are informally and indirectly funded by insurance policies on the lives of the covered employees.
NOTE 15 - REGULATORY RESTRICTIONS
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 financial statements. The regulations require the Bank to meet specific capital adequacy guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital classification is also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.
(Continued)
NOTE 15 - REGULATORY RESTRICTIONS - (Continued)
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the maintenance of minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of Tier I capital to adjusted total assets (Leverage Capital ratio) and minimum ratios of Tier I and total capital to risk-weighted assets. To be considered adequately capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must maintain minimum Tier I leverage, Tier I risk-based and total risked-based ratios as set forth in the table. The Bank's actual capital ratios are also presented in the table below as of December 31, 1994:
NOTE 16 - ESTIMATED FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

ITEM 11. COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
The Company pays no remuneration to its Directors and Executive Officers. All remuneration for services rendered are paid by the Company's subsidiary, The Conway National Bank, Conway, South Carolina ("the Bank").
Compensation Committee Report
The Executive Committee of the Bank recommends to the Board of Directors the appointment of officers; determines officer compensation subject to Board approval; and reviews employee salaries. The compensation of the President (Chief Executive Officer) and the other executive officers is not tied directly to corporate performance or any measure thereof. However, it would be deemed unacceptable by the Executive Committee, Board, and management to establish compensation levels that are not consistent with the performance of the Bank or return to shareholders. During the compensation decision process, much emphasis is placed on the Job Evaluation Salary Administration Program (JESAP) Committee. The "JESAP" Committee is charged with the responsibility of establishing job position descriptions; applying values to each job position in the form of a salary range; and obtaining salary surveys of a local, regional, and national level to determine that salary ranges are consistent with the industry and peers. The "JESAP" committee utilizes an independent management consulting firm to aid in this process. For each Bank employee, including the President (Chief Executive Officer) and all executive officers, a salary minimum, midpoint, and maximum is established. For fiscal 1994, all executive officer compensation levels were below the midpoint as established by the JESAP process.
(1) Cash value of personal use of automobile furnished by the Bank. (2) Cash contributions made by the Bank to the Bank's contributory profit-sharing and savings defined contribution plan.
COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS (continued)
PENSION PLAN DISCLOSURE
The Bank has a defined contribution pension plan covering all employees who have attained age twenty-one and have a minimum one year of service. Upon ongoing approval of the Board of Directors, the Bank matches one-hundred percent of employee contributions up to one percent of employee contributions of salary deferred and fifty percent of employee contributions in excess of one percent and up to six percent of salary deferred. For the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, $295,000, $273,000 and $218,000, respectively, was charged to operations under the plan.
The Board of Directors of the Bank have designed and implemented a non-qualified Executive Supplemental Income (ESI) Plan for Willis J. Duncan, W. Jennings Duncan, Robert P. Hucks, and Paul R. Dusenbury. Under the provisions of the ESI Plan, the Bank and the participating employees will execute agreements providing each employee (or his beneficiary, if applicable) with a pre-retirement death benefit and a post-retirement annuity benefit. The ESI Plan is designed to provide participating employees with a pre-retirement benefit based on a percentage of the employee's current compensation. The ESI agreement's post-retirement benefit is designed to supplement a participating employee's retirement benefits from Social Security in order to provide the employee with a certain percentage of his final average income at retirement age. While the employee is receiving benefits under the ESI Agreement, the agreement will prohibit the employee from competing with the Bank and will require the participating employee to be available for consulting work for the Bank. The ESI Agreement may be amended or revoked at any time prior to the participating employee's death or retirement, but only with the mutual written consent of the covered employee and the Bank. The ESI Agreements require that the participating employee be employed at the Bank at the earlier of death or retirement to be eligible to receive, or have his beneficiary receive, benefits under the agreement. The ESI Plan is an unfunded plan, although the Bank has the right to acquire investments to informally and indirectly provide funding for the benefits payable under the plan.
Performance Graphs

COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(a) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company's directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of the Company's equity securities, to file reports of ownership on Form 3 and changes in ownership on Form 4 or 5 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and the National Association of Securities Dealers. Such officers, directors and 10 percent shareholders are also required by SEC rules to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms that they file.
Based solely on its review of copies of such reports received or written representations from certain reporting persons, the Company believes that, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 1994, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to its officers, directors and 10 percent shareholders were complied with.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
"Management's Discussion and Analysis" is provided to afford a clearer understanding of the major elements of the Company's financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, and capital resources. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial statements and notes thereto and other detailed information appearing elsewhere in this report.
Distribution of Assets and Liabilities
The Company maintains a conservative approach in determining the distribution of assets and liabilities. Loans, net of unearned income, increased .1% from $131,623 at December 31, 1992 to $131,734 at December 31, 1993; and 9.6% from December 31, 1993 to $144,363 at December 31, 1994. Loan growth is attributed to overall business development efforts to meet business and personal loan demand in our market area. Loan demand was flat in our market area in 1993 but strengthened during 1994. Loans, net of unearned income, decreased as a percentage of total assets from 49.1% at year-end 1992 to 46.5% at year-end 1993 but grew to 48.6% at year-end 1994. Correspondingly, investment securities and federal funds sold increased as a percentage of total assets from 44.0% at year-end 1992 to 46.1% at year-end 1993 but shrank to 43.7% at year-end 1994 as funds have been utilized to balance the ebb and flow of loan demand. Investments and federal funds sold provide for an adequate supply of secondary liquidity. Management has sought to build the deposit base with stable, relatively non-interest-rate sensitive deposits by offering the small to medium deposit account holders a wide array of deposit instruments at competitive rates. Non-interest-bearing demand deposits have increased as a percentage of total assets from 11.6% at December 31, 1992 to 12.5% at December 31, 1993 and 13.8% at December 31, 1994, but are expected to decline over the long-term as more customers utilize interest-bearing deposit and repo accounts. Interest-bearing deposits as a percentage of total assets decreased from 66.3% at December 31, 1992 to 64.9% at December 31, 1993 but increased slightly to 65.0% at December 31, 1994. Securities sold under agreement to repurchase increased from 10.9% to 11.2% and then declined to 9.9% over the same period.
The following table sets forth the percentage relationship to total assets of significant components of the Company's balance sheet as of December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992:
Results of Operation
CNB Corporation and subsidiary experienced earnings in 1994, 1993 and 1992 of $3,497, $3,297 and $2,906, respectively, resulting in a return of average assets of 1.18%, 1.17%, and 1.13% and a return on average stockholders' equity of 12.29%, 12.77% and 12.33%. The earnings were primarily attributable to favorable net interest margins in each period (see Net Income-Net Interest Income). Other factors include management's ongoing effort to maintain other income at adequate levels (see Net Income - Other Income) and to control other expenses (see Net Income - Other Expenses). These strong earnings, coupled with a conservative dividend policy, have supplied the necessary capital funds to support bank operations. Total assets were $297,120 at December 31, 1994 as compared to $283,380 at December 31, 1993 and $268,078 at December 31, 1992. The following table sets forth the financial highlights for fiscal years 1994, 1993, and 1992.
(1) For the fiscal years ended December 31, 1994, 1993, and 1992, average total assets amounted to $297,595, $281,494, and $256,837 with average stockholders' equity totaling $28,458, $25,815, and $23,563, respectively.
NET INCOME
Net Interest Income - Earnings are dependent to a large degree on net interest income, defined as the difference between gross interest and fees earned on earning assets, primarily loans and investment securities, and interest paid on deposits and borrowed funds. Net interest income is affected by the interest rates earned or paid and by volume changes in loans, investment securities, deposits, and borrowed funds.
The Bank has maintained strong net interest margins in 1994, 1993 and 1992 by earning adequate yields on loans and investments and funding these assets with a favorable deposit and repurchase agreement mix. Fully-tax-equivalent net interest income has grown from $11,257 in 1992 and $11,867 in 1993 to $12,735 in 1994. During the three-year period, total fully-tax-equivalent interest income decreased by 3.4% from $19,923 in 1992 to $19,236 in 1993 and increased 5.8% in 1994 to $20,348. Over the same period, total interest expense decreased by 15.0% from $8,666 in 1992 to $7,369 in 1993 and increased 3.3% to $7,613 in 1994. The significant decrease in 1993 interest income and interest expense was caused by a rapid decrease in market interest rates. The increase in 1994 interest income and expense reflects a rise in market interest rates coupled with higher volumes of bank assets and liabilities. Fully-tax-equivalent net interest income as a percentage of average total earning assets has moved in a narrow range from 4.7% in 1992 to 4.5% in 1993 and 4.6% in 1994.
Interest rates paid on deposits and borrowed funds and earned on loans and investments have generally followed the fluctuations in market interest rates in 1994, 1993, and 1992. However, fluctuations in market interest rates do not necessarily have a significant impact on net interest income, depending on the Bank's rate sensitivity position. A rate sensitive asset (RSA) is any loan or investment that can be repriced up or down in interest rate within a certain time interval. A rate sensitive liability (RSL) is an interest paying deposit or other liability that can be repriced either up or down in interest rate within a certain time interval. When a proper balance between RSA and RSL exists, market interest rate fluctuations should not have a significant impact on earnings. The larger the imbalance, the greater the interest rate risk assumed by the Bank and the greater the positive or negative impact of interest rate fluctuations on earnings. The Bank seeks to manage its assets and liabilities in a manner that will limit interest rate risk and thus stabilize long-run earning power. The following table sets forth the Bank's rate sensitivity position at each of the time intervals indicated. The table illustrates the Bank's rate sensitivity position on specific dates and may not be indicative of the position at other points in time. Management believes that a rise or fall in interest rates will not materially effect earnings.
NET INCOME (continued)
Provision for Possible Loan Losses - It is the policy of the bank to maintain the reserve for possible loan losses at the greater of 1.20% of net loans or the percentage based on the actual loan loss experience over the previous five years. In addition, management may increase the reserve to a level above these guidelines to cover potential losses identified during the ongoing in-house problem loan identification process. The Company includes the provisions of SFAS No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan", in the allowance for loan losses (see NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES). The provision for possible loan losses was $295 in 1994, $445 in 1993, and $745 in 1992. Net loan charge-offs totalled $245 in 1994, $304 in 1993, and $530 in 1992 with 1994 and 1993 net charge-offs being centered in consumer purpose loans. The reserve for possible loan losses as a percentage of net loans was 1.56% at December 31, 1994, 1.67% at December 31, 1993, and 1.57% at December 31, 1992.
Securities Transactions - Net unrealized gains/(losses) in the investment securities portfolio were $(4,646) at December 31, 1994, $2,855 at December 31, 1993 and $2,937 at December 31, 1992. The Bank did not recognize a gain or loss on security transactions in 1993 or 1992. The market value of investment securities declined during 1994 due to the rapid rise in overall market rates. Security losses of $167 were taken in 1994 in transactions to sell short-term low-yielding bonds and re-investing in higher-yielding intermediate-term bonds.
Other Income - Other income, net of losses on 1994 security sales, increased by 6.7% from $2,564 in 1992 to $2,735 in 1993 and 9.0% from $2,735 in 1993 to $2,981 in 1994. The increases were the result of higher volume in deposit and loan accounts and merchant discount income. Also, lower market interest rates beginning in 1992 through most of 1994 resulted in higher commercial account service charge income as account activity charges are offset to a lesser degree by earnings credits; and, in 1993, overall service charge rates were increased effective June 1.
Other Expenses - Other expenses increased by 4.6% from $8,461 in 1992 to $8,850 in 1993 and 8.5% from $8,850 in 1993 to $9,599 in 1994. The components of other expenses are salaries and employee benefits of $4,708, $4,927, and $5,285; occupancy and furniture and equipment expenses of $1,284, $1,341, and $1,550; and other operating expenses of $2,469, $2,582, and $2,764 for 1992, 1993, and 1994, respectively. The increase in salaries and employee benefits reflects compensation increments and the increased costs of providing employee benefits. The significant increase in occupancy and furniture and equipment expenses in 1994 was due to the purchase and installation as of June 30 of a new computer mainframe and software; upgraded communications equipment; and approximately ninety personal computers throughout the bank. In addition, other expenses were adversely affected by the loss of $116 on the disposal of electronic data processing (EDP) equipment previously in place. 1994 EDP purchases plus anticipated drive-up automated teller machine purchases in early 1995 will represent an expenditure of $1,050 which will increase depreciation/occupancy expense by approximately $131 per year for an eight-year period. Looking ahead, non- interest expense will also increase in 1995 and future years due to the construction, staffing, and equipping of a new 12,000 square foot, 12-person, Myrtle Beach office. Scheduled to open in June, 1995, this office will generate relatively little revenue in 1995 but salary/benefits and occupancy expenses associated with this office in 1995 are budgeted at $195 and $91, respectively. A major component of other operating expenses is FDIC insurance premiums which increased 7.4% from $448 in 1992 to $481 in 1993 and 3.7% from $481 in 1993 to $499 in 1994. It is possible that the FDIC premium rate will be reduced effective for the fourth quarter of 1995. Preliminary premium rate decreases discussed by the FDIC would reduce projected FDIC premium expense by $95 in 1995 and $390 in 1996.
NET INCOME (continued)
Income Taxes - Provisions for income taxes increased 45.0% from $1,030 in 1992 to $1,493 in 1993 and 11.0% from $1,493 in 1993 to $1,657 in 1994. The increase in income taxes is primarily due to an increase in income before income taxes of 21.7% from $3,936 in 1992 to $4,790 in 1993 and 7.6% from $4,790 in 1993 to $5,154 in 1994. Also, the utilization of tax-free income as a percentage of income before income taxes declined significantly in 1993 and to a lesser degree in 1994.
LIQUIDITY
The bank's liquidity position is primarily dependent on short-term demands for funds caused by customer credit needs and deposit withdrawals and upon the liquidity of bank assets to meet these needs. The bank's liquidity sources include cash and due from banks, federal funds sold and short-term investments. In addition, the bank has established federal funds lines of credit from correspondent banks and has the ability, on a short-term basis, to borrow funds from the Federal Reserve System. The Company has cash balances on hand of $2,358, $1,717, and $1,698 at December 31, 1994, 1993, and 1992 with liabilities, consisting of cash dividends payable, totalling $955, $794, and $797, respectively. Management feels that liquidity sources are more than adequate to meet funding needs.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
Total stockholders' equity was $28,857, $26,820, and $23,443 at December 31, 1994, 1993, and 1992, representing 9.71%, 9.46%, and 9.12% of total assets, respectively. At December 31, 1994, the Bank exceeds quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy (see NOTE 15 - REGULATORY RESTRICTIONS). Capital is considered sufficient by managment to meet current and prospective capital requirements and to support anticipated growth in bank operations.
EFFECTS OF INFLATION
Inflation normally has the effect of accelerating the growth of both a bank's assets and liabilities. One result of this inflationary effect is an increased need for equity capital. Income is also affected by inflation. While interest rates have traditionally moved with inflation, the effect on net income is diminished because both interest earned on assets and interest paid on liabilities vary directly with each other. In some cases, however, rate increases are delayed on fixed-rate instruments. Loan demand normally declines during periods of high inflation. Inflation has a direct impact on the Bank's non-interest expense. The Bank responds to inflation changes through readjusting non-interest income by repricing services.
EFFECTS OF REGULATORY ACTION
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) has indicated that FDIC insurance premium rates may be reduced effective in the fourth quarter of 1995. Such a decrease would have a positive effect on earnings in 1995 and subsequent years (see NET INCOME - Other Expenses). The management of the Company and the Bank is not aware of any other current recommendations by the regulatory authorities which, if they were to be implemented, would have a material effect on liquidity, capital resources, or operations.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
The Directors and Stockholders CNB Corporation Conway, South Carolina
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of CNB Corporation as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1994. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of CNB Corporation and Subsidiary at December 31, 1994 and 1993 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1994, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

CNB CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CNB Corporation ("the Company") and its majority-owned subsidiary, The Conway National Bank ("the Bank"). The Company and its subsidiary operate in one industry, domestic banking. All significant inter- company balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Concentrations of credit risk The Company, through its subsidiary, makes commercial and personal loans to individuals and small businesses located primarily in the South Carolina coastal region. The Company has a diversified loan portfolio and the borrowers' ability to repay their loans is not dependent upon any specific economic sector.
Cash and cash equivalents For purposes of the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents are defined as those amounts included in the balance sheet caption "Cash and Due from Banks". Cash and cash equivalents have an original maturity of three months or less.
Investment securities In 1994, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." Stockholders' equity has been restated in the consolidated statement of changes in stockholders' equity to reflect the effect of a change in accounting principle. Adoption of the standard had no effect on net income. The presentation of securities for 1993 is not affected by the adoption of SFAS No. 115 as retroactive presentation is not permitted. Such securities are presented as held to maturity as they are carried at cost, adjusted for the amortization of premiums and the accretion of discounts.
Debt securities are classified upon purchase as available for sale, held to maturity or trading. Such assets classified as available for sale are carried at market value. Unrealized holding gains or losses are reported as a component of stockholders' equity net of deferred income taxes. Securities classified as held to maturity are carried at cost, adjusted for the amortization of premiums and the accretion of discounts. In order to qualify as held to maturity, after 1993, the Company must have the intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. Trading securities are carried at market value. The Company has no trading securities. Gains or losses on disposition of securities are based on the difference between the net proceeds and the adjusted carrying amount of the securities sold, using the specific identification method.
Loans Interest on commercial loans is accrued and taken into income based upon the interest method. Interest on installment loans is accrued and taken into income based upon the sum-of-the-months-digits method. The results from the use of the sum-of-the-months-digits method are not materially different from those that would be obtained using the interest method.
Allowance for loan losses The allowance for loan losses is based on management's ongoing evaluation of the loan portfolio and reflects an amount that, in management's opinion, is adequate to absorb losses in the existing portfolio. In evaluating the portfolio, management takes into consideration numerous factors, including current economic conditions, prior loan loss experience, the composition of the loan portfolio, and management's estimate of anticipated credit losses. Loans are charged against the allowance at such time as they are determined to be losses. Subsequent recoveries are credited to the allowance. Management (Continued)
NOTE 1-SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
considers the year-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 valid. Thus, there can be no assurance that charge-off's 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.
Effective January 1, 1994, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan." SFAS No. 114, as amended by SFAS No. 118, requires that impaired loans be measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows or the underlying collateral values as defined in the pronouncement. The adoption of SFAS No. 114 had no effect on the balance sheet or income statement of the Company. The Company includes the provisions of SFAS No. 114 in the allowance for loan losses.
Premises and equipment Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are computed over the estimated useful lives of the assets using primarily accelerated methods. Additions to premises and equipment and major replacements or improvements are capitalized at cost. Maintenance, repairs and minor replacements are expensed when incurred. Gains and losses on routine dispositions are reflected in current operations.
Non-performing assets Non-performing assets include real estate acquired through foreclosure or deed taken in lieu of foreclosure, and loans on non-accrual status. Loans are placed in a non-accrual status when, in the opinion of management, the collection of additional interest is questionable. Thereafter no interest is taken into income unless received in cash or until such time as the borrower demonstrates the ability to pay principal and interest.
Income taxes Certain items of income and expense for financial reporting (principally accretion of bond discount, provision for loan losses and depreciation) are recognized differently for income tax purposes. Provisions for deferred taxes are made in recognition of such temporary differences as required under SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes."
Net income per share The Company's Board of Directors declared a twenty percent stock dividend issuable on October 10, 1994, to stockholders of record on September 16, 1994. Per share data have been restated to reflect this dividend.
Net income per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, 476,370 in 1994, 476,546 in 1993 and 477,389 in 1992.
Fair values of financial instruments Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments," as amended by SFAS No. 119, requires disclosure of fair value information for financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, when it is practicable to estimate the fair value. SFAS No. 107 defines a financial instrument as cash, evidence of an ownership interest in an entity or contractual obligations which require the exchange of cash or other financial instruments. Certain items are specifically excluded from the disclosure requirements, including the Company's common stock. In addition, other nonfinancial instruments such as premises and equipment and other assets and liabilities are not subject to the disclosure requirements. (Continued)
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - (Continued)
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Bank in estimating fair values of financial instruments as disclosed herein:
Cash and cash equivalents - The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents (cash on hand, due from banks, interest bearing deposits with other banks, and federal funds sold) approximate their fair value.
Investment securities held to maturity and available for sale - Fair values for investment securities are based on quoted market prices.
Loans - For variable rate loans that reprice frequently and for loans that mature within one year, fair values are based on carrying values. Fair values for all other loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, with interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. Fair values for impaired loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses or underlying collateral values, where applicable.
Deposits - The fair values disclosed for demand deposits are, by definition, equal to their carrying amounts. The carrying amounts of variable rate, fixed-term money market accounts and short-term certificates of deposit approximate their fair values at the reporting date. Fair values for long-term fixed-rate certificates of deposit 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.
Short-term borrowings - The carrying amounts of borrowings under repurchase agreements and U. S. Treasury demand notes, generally maturing within 90 days, approximate their fair values.
Off-balance sheet instruments - Fair values of off-balance sheet lending commitments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties' credit standing.
NOTE 2 - RESTRICTIONS ON CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS
The Bank is required to maintain average reserve balances either at the bank or on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank. The average amounts of these reserve balances for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993 were approximately $3,988,000 and $3,592,000, respectively.
(Continued)
At December 31, 1994 and 1993, non-accrual loans totaled $1,062,000 and $1,015,000, respectively and are included in other assets. The total amount of interest earned on non-accrual loans was $22,000 in 1994 and $10,000 in 1993. The gross interest income which would have been recorded under the original terms of the non-accrual loans amounted to $72,000 in 1994 and $82,000 in 1993.
Depreciation and amortization of bank premises and equipment charged to operating expense totaled $623,000 in 1994, $474,000 in 1993 and $442,000 in 1992.
The Bank enters into sales of securities under agreements to repurchase. These obligations to repurchase securities sold are reflected as liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. The dollar amount of securities underlying the agreements are book entry securities maintained at the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond. The weighted-average interest rate of these agreements was 4.29 percent and 3.01 percent at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively, and generally mature within ninety days. Securities sold under repurchase agreements averaged $35,037,000 and $35,278,000 during 1994 and 1993, respectively. The maximum amounts outstanding at any month-end were $41,537,000 and $38,722,000 during 1994 and 1993, respectively.
NOTE 8 - LINES OF CREDIT
At December 31, 1994, the Bank had unused short-term lines of credit to purchase Federal Funds from unrelated banks totaling $17,000,000. These lines of credit are available on a one to seven day basis for general corporate purposes of the Bank. All of the lenders have reserved the right to withdraw these lines at their option.
The Company has a demand note through the U.S. Treasury, Tax and Loan system with the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond. The Company may borrow up to $2,500,000 under the arrangement at an interest rate of 5.2%. The note is secured by U.S. Treasury Notes with a market value of $2,934,000 at December 31, 1994. The amount outstanding under the note totaled $2,494,000 and $2,492,000 at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
NOTE 9 - INCOME TAXES
The following summary of the provision for income taxes includes tax deferrals which arise from temporary differences in the recognition of certain items of revenue and expense for tax and financial reporting purposes (amounts in thousands):
Deferred income taxes of $194,000 and $164,000 are included in other liabilities on the balance sheets at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
The provision for income taxes is reconciled to the amount of income tax computed at the federal statutory rate on income before income taxes as follows (amounts in thousands):
NOTE 10 - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK
The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the statements of financial position. The contract amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Bank has in particular classes of financial instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on- balance-sheet instruments.
The contract value of the Company's off-balance-sheet financial instruments is as follows as of December 31, 1994 (amounts in thousands): Contract amount
Commitments to extend credit $14,149
Standby letters of credit $ 1,946
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates each customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained if deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit is based on management's credit evaluation.
NOTE 11 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
At December 31, 1994, the Bank was obligated under a number of non- cancelable operating leases on equipment and land used for branch offices that had an initial or remaining term of more than one year. Future minimum rental payments under these leases at December 31, 1994 were (amounts in thousands):
Payable in year ending Amount
1995 $ 58 1996 55 1997 53 1998 54 1999 56 2000 and thereafter 124
Total future minimum payments required $400
Lease payments under all operating leases charged to expense totaled $58,000 in 1994, $66,000 in 1993, and $70,000 in 1992. The leases provide that the lessee pay property taxes, insurance and maintenance cost.
As of December 31, 1994, the Company has entered into a contract for the construction of a new branch office for $1,686,000. Construction of the branch is expected to be completed by May, 1995. Total cost of the project is expected to be approximately $2.4 million.
The Company is party to litigation and claims arising in the normal course of business. Management, after consultation with legal counsel, believes that the liabilities, if any, arising from such litigation and claims will not be material to the Bank's financial position.
NOTE 12 - RESTRICTION ON DIVIDENDS
The ability of the Company to pay cash dividends is dependent upon receiving cash in the form of dividends from the Bank. Federal banking regulations restrict the amount of dividends that can be paid and such dividends are payable only from the retained earnings of the Bank. At December 31, 1994 the Bank's retained earnings were $23,909,000.
NOTE 13 - TRANSACTIONS WITH DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND ASSOCIATES
Directors and executive officers of the Company and the Bank and associates of such persons are customers of and had transactions with the Bank in the ordinary course of business. Additional transactions may be expected to take place in the future. Also, included in such transactions are outstanding loans and commitments, all of which were made on comparable terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for other customers of the Bank, and did not involve more than normal risk of collectibility or present other unfavorable features. Total loans to all executive officers and directors, including immediate family and business interests, at December 31, 1994 and 1993, were $2,573,000 and $2,813,000, respectively. During 1994, $313,000 of new loans were made to this group and repayments of $553,000 were received.
NOTE 14 - EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN
The Bank has a defined contribution pension plan covering all employees who have attained age twenty-one and have a minimum of one year of service. Upon ongoing approval of the Board of Directors, the Bank matches one-hundred percent of employee contributions up to one percent of employee salary deferred and fifty percent of employee contributions in excess of one percent and up to six percent of salary deferred. The Board of Directors may also make discretionary contributions to the Plan. For the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, $295,000, $273,000, and $218,000, respectively, was charged to operations under the plan.
The Company is self insured for major medical group insurance which it provides to its employees. Specific and aggregate excess reinsurance is carried by the Company to limit potential costs under the self insured plan.
Supplemental benefits are provided to certain key officers under The Conway National Bank Executive Supplemental Income Plan. This plan is not qualified under the Internal Revenue Code. The plan is unfunded. However, certain benefits are informally and indirectly funded by insurance policies on the lives of the covered employees.
NOTE 15 - REGULATORY RESTRICTIONS
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 financial statements. The regulations require the Bank to meet specific capital adequacy guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital classification is also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.
(Continued)
NOTE 15 - REGULATORY RESTRICTIONS - (Continued)
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the maintenance of minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of Tier I capital to adjusted total assets (Leverage Capital ratio) and minimum ratios of Tier I and total capital to risk-weighted assets. To be considered adequately capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must maintain minimum Tier I leverage, Tier I risk-based and total risked-based ratios as set forth in the table. The Bank's actual capital ratios are also presented in the table below as of December 31, 1994:
NOTE 16 - ESTIMATED FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

ITEM 11. COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
The Company pays no remuneration to its Directors and Executive Officers. All remuneration for services rendered are paid by the Company's subsidiary, The Conway National Bank, Conway, South Carolina ("the Bank").
Compensation Committee Report
The Executive Committee of the Bank recommends to the Board of Directors the appointment of officers; determines officer compensation subject to Board approval; and reviews employee salaries. The compensation of the President (Chief Executive Officer) and the other executive officers is not tied directly to corporate performance or any measure thereof. However, it would be deemed unacceptable by the Executive Committee, Board, and management to establish compensation levels that are not consistent with the performance of the Bank or return to shareholders. During the compensation decision process, much emphasis is placed on the Job Evaluation Salary Administration Program (JESAP) Committee. The "JESAP" Committee is charged with the responsibility of establishing job position descriptions; applying values to each job position in the form of a salary range; and obtaining salary surveys of a local, regional, and national level to determine that salary ranges are consistent with the industry and peers. The "JESAP" committee utilizes an independent management consulting firm to aid in this process. For each Bank employee, including the President (Chief Executive Officer) and all executive officers, a salary minimum, midpoint, and maximum is established. For fiscal 1994, all executive officer compensation levels were below the midpoint as established by the JESAP process.
(1) Cash value of personal use of automobile furnished by the Bank. (2) Cash contributions made by the Bank to the Bank's contributory profit-sharing and savings defined contribution plan.
COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS (continued)
PENSION PLAN DISCLOSURE
The Bank has a defined contribution pension plan covering all employees who have attained age twenty-one and have a minimum one year of service. Upon ongoing approval of the Board of Directors, the Bank matches one-hundred percent of employee contributions up to one percent of employee contributions of salary deferred and fifty percent of employee contributions in excess of one percent and up to six percent of salary deferred. For the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, $295,000, $273,000 and $218,000, respectively, was charged to operations under the plan.
The Board of Directors of the Bank have designed and implemented a non-qualified Executive Supplemental Income (ESI) Plan for Willis J. Duncan, W. Jennings Duncan, Robert P. Hucks, and Paul R. Dusenbury. Under the provisions of the ESI Plan, the Bank and the participating employees will execute agreements providing each employee (or his beneficiary, if applicable) with a pre-retirement death benefit and a post-retirement annuity benefit. The ESI Plan is designed to provide participating employees with a pre-retirement benefit based on a percentage of the employee's current compensation. The ESI agreement's post-retirement benefit is designed to supplement a participating employee's retirement benefits from Social Security in order to provide the employee with a certain percentage of his final average income at retirement age. While the employee is receiving benefits under the ESI Agreement, the agreement will prohibit the employee from competing with the Bank and will require the participating employee to be available for consulting work for the Bank. The ESI Agreement may be amended or revoked at any time prior to the participating employee's death or retirement, but only with the mutual written consent of the covered employee and the Bank. The ESI Agreements require that the participating employee be employed at the Bank at the earlier of death or retirement to be eligible to receive, or have his beneficiary receive, benefits under the agreement. The ESI Plan is an unfunded plan, although the Bank has the right to acquire investments to informally and indirectly provide funding for the benefits payable under the plan.

COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(a) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company's directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of the Company's equity securities, to file reports of ownership on Form 3 and changes in ownership on Form 4 or 5 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and the National Association of Securities Dealers. Such officers, directors and 10 percent shareholders are also required by SEC rules to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms that they file.
Based solely on its review of copies of such reports received or written representations from certain reporting persons, the Company believes that, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 1994, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to its officers, directors and 10 percent shareholders were complied with.
