PART I

ITEM 1.   BUSINESS

DESCRIPTION OF CNB CORPORATION

CNB Corporation (the "Company") is a South Carolina business corporation organized in 1985 for the purpose of becoming a bank holding company for The Conway National Bank (the "Bank") under the Bank Holding Company Act.  The Company's only business is ownership 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 engaged in, and has no present intent to engage in, such other permissible activities.


DESCRIPTION OF THE SUBSIDIARY

The Bank is an independent community bank engaged in the general commercial banking business in Horry County and the "Waccamaw Neck" portion of Georgetown County, South Carolina. The Bank was organized in 1903.  The Bank's Main Office consists of an Operations and Administration Center along with an adjacent branch office known as the Conway Banking Office.  The Bank also operates thirteen other branch offices throughout Horry County and the "Waccamaw Neck" area of Georgetown County.    The Bank employs approximately 264 full-time-equivalent employees at its Main Office and fourteen 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, Health Savings 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, 24-hour automated teller machines on the STAR Network, internet banking, bank by phone, direct deposits, a MasterCard/Visa program, cash management services, and commercial lockbox services. The Bank offers discount brokerage services through a correspondent relationship.  Additionally, the Bank provides long-term mortgage loans through its secondary mortgage department which acts in an agency only capacity for various investors.  The Bank does not provide trust services; does not sell annuities; does not sell mutual funds; and does not sell insurance.

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. At December 31, 2007 the Bank had five concentrations of credit to single industries (See Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, contained elsewhere in this report).  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.

Further information about the Bank's business is set forth below under "Supplementary Financial Data, Guide 3 Statistical Disclosure by Bank Holding Companies" and in Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."


COMPETITION

The Bank actively competes with other institutions in Horry County and the "Waccamaw Neck" region of Georgetown County in providing customers with deposit, credit and other financial services.  The principal competitors of the Bank include local offices of five regional banks, five state-wide banks, thirteen locally owned banks in Horry and Georgetown Counties and various other financial and thrift institutions.  At June 30, 2007, the Bank ranked second in Horry County and eleventh in Georgetown County in deposits among its competitors. 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 array 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, and changes in the reserve requirements against bank deposits.

The Company is also subject to limited regulation and supervision by the South Carolina State Board of Financial Institutions (the "State Board").  A South Carolina bank holding company may be required to provide the State Board with information with respect to the financial condition, operations, management and inter-company relationships of the holding company and its subsidiaries.  The State Board also may require such other information as is necessary to keep itself informed about whether the provisions of South Carolina law and the regulations and orders issued thereunder by the State Board have been complied with, and the State Board may examine any bank holding company and its subsidiaries. Furthermore, pursuant to applicable law and regulations, the Company must receive approval of, or give notice to (as applicable) the State Board prior to engaging in the acquisition of banking or non-banking institutions or assets.

Obligations of Holding Company to its Subsidiary Banks

A number of obligations and restrictions are imposed on bank holding companies and their depository institution subsidiaries by Federal law and regulatory policies that are designed to reduce potential loss exposure to the depositors of such depository institutions and to the FDIC insurance funds in the event the depository institution is in danger of becoming insolvent or is insolvent.  For example, under the policy of the Federal Reserve, a bank holding company is required to serve as a source of financial strength to its subsidiary depository institutions and to commit resources to support such institutions in circumstances where it might not do so absent such policy.  In addition, the "cross-guarantee" provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as amended ("FDIA"), require insured depository institutions under common control to reimburse the FDIC for any loss suffered or reasonably anticipated by the FDIC as a result of the default of a commonly controlled insured depository institution or for any assistance provided by the FDIC to a commonly controlled insured depository institution in danger of default.  The FDIC may decline to enforce the cross-guarantee provisions if it determines that a waiver is in its best interest.  The FDIC's claim for damages is superior to claims of stockholders of the insured depository institution or its holding company but is subordinate to claims of depositors, secured creditors and holders of subordinated debt (other than affiliates) of the commonly controlled insured depository institutions.

The FDIA also provides that amounts received from the liquidation or other resolution of any insured depository institution by any receiver must be distributed (after payment of secured claims) to pay the deposit liabilities of the institution prior to payment of any other general or unsecured senior liability, subordinated liability, general creditor or stockholder.  This provision gives depositors a preference over general and subordinated creditors and stockholders in the event a receiver is appointed to distribute the assets of the bank.

Any capital loans by a bank holding company to any of its subsidiary banks are subordinate in right of payment to deposits and to certain other indebtedness of such subsidiary bank. In the event of a bank holding company's bankruptcy, any commitment by the bank holding company to a federal bank regulatory agency to maintain the capital of a subsidiary bank will be assumed by the bankruptcy trustee and entitled to a priority of payment.

Under the National Bank Act, if the capital stock of a national bank is impaired by losses or otherwise, the OCC is authorized to require payment of the deficiency by assessment upon the bank's shareholders, pro rata, and to the extent necessary, if any such assessment is not paid by any shareholder after three months notice, to sell the stock of such shareholder to make good the deficiency.

Capital Adequacy Guidelines for Bank Holding Companies and Banks

The various federal bank regulators, including the Federal Reserve and the FDIC, have adopted risk-based and leverage capital adequacy guidelines assessing bank holding company and bank capital adequacy.  These standards define what qualifies as capital and establish minimum capital standards in relation to assets and off-balance-sheet exposures, as adjusted for credit risks. The capital guidelines and the Company's capital position are summarized in Note 15 to the Financial Statements, contained elsewhere in this report.  The Bank is considered well capitalized.

Failure to meet capital guidelines could subject the Bank to a variety of enforcement remedies, ranging from, for example, a prohibition on the taking of brokered deposits to the termination of deposit insurance by the FDIC or the appointment of a receiver for the Bank.

The risk-based capital standards of both the Federal Reserve Board and the FDIC explicitly identify concentrations of credit risk and the risk arising from non-traditional activities, as well as an institution's ability to manage these risks, as important factors to be taken into account by the agencies in assessing an institution's overall capital adequacy.  The capital guidelines also provide that an institution's exposure to a decline in the economic value of its capital due to changes in interest rates be considered by the agencies as a factor in evaluating a bank's capital adequacy.  The Federal Reserve Board also has  issued additional capital guidelines for bank holding companies that engage in certain trading activities.

Payment of Dividends

The Company is a legal entity separate and distinct from the Bank.  Most of the revenues of the Company result from dividends paid to the Company by the Bank.  There are statutory and regulatory requirements applicable to the payment of dividends by subsidiary banks as well as by the Company to its shareholders.

Each national banking association is required by federal law to obtain the prior approval of the OCC for the payment of dividends if the total of all dividends declared by the board of directors of such bank in any year will exceed the total of (i) such bank's net profits (as defined and interpreted by regulation) for that year plus (ii) the retained net profits (as defined and interpreted by regulation) for the preceding two years, less any required transfers to surplus.  In addition, national banks can only pay dividends to the extent that retained net profits (including the portion transferred to capital in excess of par value of stock) exceed bad debts (as defined by regulation).

The payment of dividends by the Company and the Bank may also be affected or limited by other factors, such as the requirements to maintain adequate capital above regulatory guidelines.  In addition, if, in the opinion of the applicable regulatory authority, a bank under its jurisdiction is engaged in or is about to engage in an unsafe or unsound practice (which, depending on the financial condition of the Bank, could include the payment of dividends), such authority may require, after notice and hearing, that such bank cease and desist from such practice.  The OCC has indicated that paying dividends that deplete a national bank's capital base to an inadequate level would be an unsafe and unsound banking practice.  The Federal Reserve, the OCC and the FDIC have issued policy statements, which provide that bank holding companies and insured banks should generally only pay dividends out of current operating earnings.

Certain Transactions by the Company with its Affiliates

Federal law regulates transactions among the Company and its affiliates, including the amount of the Bank's loans to or investments in nonbank affiliates and the amount of advances to third parties collateralized by securities of an affiliate.  Further, a bank holding company and its affiliates are prohibited from engaging in certain tie-in arrangements in connection with any extension of credit, lease or sale of property or furnishing of services.

FDIC Insurance Assessments

The FDIC merged the Bank Insurance Fund and the Savings Association Insurance Fund to form the Deposit Insurance Fund ("DIF") on March 31, 2006 in accordance with the Federal Deposit Insurance Reform Act of 2005.  The FDIC maintains the DIF by assessing depository institutions an insurance premium.  The amount each institution is assessed  is based upon statutory factors that include the balance of insured deposits as well as the degree of risk the institution poses to the insurance fund.  The FDIC uses a risk-based premium system that assesses higher rates on those institutions that pose greater risks to the DIF.  Under the rule adopted by the FDIC in November 2006, as of  January 1, 2007, the FDIC began placing each institution in one of four risk categories using a two-step process based first on capital ratios (the capital group assignment) and then on other relevant information (the supervisory group assignment).  As of  January 1, 2007, rates ranged between 5 and 43 cents per $100 in assessable deposits.

Regulation of the Bank

The Bank is also subject to regulation and examination by the OCC.  In addition, the Bank is subject to various other state and federal laws and regulations, including state usury laws, laws relating to fiduciaries, consumer credit laws and laws relating to branch banking.  The Bank's loan operations are subject to certain federal consumer credit laws and regulations promulgated thereunder, including, but not limited to:  the federal Truth-In-Lending Act, governing disclosures of credit terms to consumer borrowers; the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, requiring financial institutions to provide certain information concerning their mortgage lending; the Equal Credit Opportunity Act and the Fair Housing Act, prohibiting discrimination on the basis of certain prohibited factors in extending credit; and the Fair Debt Collection Act, governing the manner in which consumer debts may be collected by collection agencies.  The deposit operations of the Bank are subject to the Truth in Savings Act, requiring certain disclosures about rates paid on savings accounts; the Expedited Funds Availability Act, which deals with disclosure of the availability of funds deposited in accounts and the collection and return of checks by banks; the Right to Financial Privacy Act, which imposes a duty to maintain certain confidentiality of consumer financial records; and the Electronic Funds Transfer Act and regulations promulgated thereunder, which govern automatic deposits to and withdrawals from deposit accounts and customers' rights and liabilities arising from the use of automated teller machines and other electronic banking services.  The Bank is also subject to the requirements of the Community Reinvestment Act (the "CRA") which imposes on financial institutions an affirmative and ongoing obligation to meet the credit needs of their local communities, including low and moderate-income neighborhoods, consistent with the safe and sound operation of those institutions. Each financial institution's actual performance in meeting community credit needs is evaluated as part of the examination process, and also is considered in evaluating mergers, acquisitions and applications to open a branch or facility.  The Bank is also subject to provisions of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 (See the section below of the same title); the Fair Credit Reporting Act, governing the use and provision of information to credit reporting agencies; the Bank Secrecy Act, dealing with, among other things, the reporting of certain currency transactions; and the USA Patriot Act, dealing with, among other things, requiring the establishment of anti-money laundering programs, including standards for verifying customer information at account opening.

Other Safety and Soundness Regulations

Prompt Corrective Action.  The federal banking agencies have broad powers under current federal law to take prompt corrective action to resolve problems of insured depository institutions.  The extent of these powers depends upon whether the institutions in question are "well capitalized," "adequately capitalized," "undercapitalized," "significantly undercapitalized" or "critically undercapitalized."

A bank that is "undercapitalized" becomes subject to provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act: restricting payment of capital distributions and management fees; requiring the OCC to monitor the condition of the bank; requiring submission by the bank of a capital restoration plan; restricting the growth of the bank's assets; and requiring prior approval of certain expansion proposals.  A bank that is "significantly undercapitalized" is also subject to restrictions on compensation paid to senior management of the bank, and a bank that is "critically undercapitalized" is further subject to restrictions on the activities of the bank and restrictions on payments of subordinated debt of the bank, and will ordinarily be placed in receivership.  The purpose of these provisions is to require banks with less than adequate capital to act quickly to restore their capital and to have the OCC move promptly to take over banks that are unwilling or unable to take such steps.

Brokered Deposits.  Under current FDIC regulations, "well-capitalized" banks may accept brokered deposits without restriction, "adequately capitalized" banks may accept brokered deposits with a waiver from the FDIC (subject to certain restrictions on payments of rates), while "undercapitalized" banks may not accept brokered deposits.  The regulations provide that the definitions of "well capitalized", "adequately capitalized" and "undercapitalized" are the same as the definitions adopted by the agencies to implement the prompt corrective action provisions described in the previous paragraph.

Interstate Banking

Under the Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 ("Riegle-Neal"), the Company and any other adequately capitalized bank holding company located in South Carolina can acquire a bank located in any other state, and a bank holding company located outside South Carolina can acquire any South Carolina-based bank, in either case subject to certain deposit percentage and other restrictions.  Riegle-Neal also provides that, in any state that has not previously elected to prohibit out-of-state banks from operating interstate branches within its territory, adequately capitalized and managed bank holding companies can consolidate their multi-state bank operations into a single bank subsidiary and branch interstate through acquisitions.  De novo branching by an out-of-state bank is permitted only if it is expressly permitted by the laws of the host state.  The authority of a bank to establish and operate branches within a state will continue to be subject to applicable state branching laws.  South Carolina law was amended, effective July 1, 1996, to permit such interstate branching but not de novo branching by an out-of-state bank.

The Riegle-Neal Act, together with legislation adopted in South Carolina, has resulted in a number of South Carolina banks being acquired by large out-of-state bank holding companies.  Size gives the larger banks certain advantages in competing for business from larger customers.  These advantages include higher lending limits and the ability to offer services in other areas of South Carolina and the region.  As a result, the Bank does not generally attempt to compete for the banking relationships of large corporations, but concentrates its efforts on small to medium-sized businesses and on individuals.  The Company believes the Bank has competed effectively in this market segment by offering quality, personal service.

Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999

The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999, which makes it easier for affiliations between banks, securities firms and insurance companies to take place, became effective in March 2000.  The Act and its implementing regulations remove Depression-era barriers that had separated banks and securities firms, and seek to protect the privacy of consumers' financial information.  The Act and its implementing regulations set forth a consumer's entitlement to disclosure of the Bank's use and further disclosure of nonpublic personal financial information obtained by the Bank from the consumer.  The regulations also govern the consumer's right to opt-out of further disclosure of nonpublic personal financial information and require the Bank to provide initial and annual privacy notices.  The Bank is also required to develop a comprehensive plan for the safeguarding of customer information which encompasses all aspects of the Bank's technological environment, business practices, and Bank facilities.

Under provisions of the legislation and regulations adopted by the appropriate regulators, banks, securities firms and insurance companies are able to structure new affiliations through a holding company structure or through a financial subsidiary. The legislation created a new type of bank holding company called a "financial holding company" which has powers much more extensive than those of standard holding companies.  These expanded powers include authority to engage in "financial activities," which are activities that are (1) financial in nature; (2) incidental to activities that are financial in nature; or (3) complementary to a financial activity and that do not impose a safety and soundness risk.  Significantly, the permitted financial activities for financial holding companies include authority to engage in merchant banking and insurance activities, including insurance portfolio investing.  A bank holding company can qualify as a financial holding company and expand the services it offers only if all of its subsidiary depository institutions are well-managed, well-capitalized and have received a rating of "satisfactory" on their last Community Reinvestment Act examination.

The legislation also created another new type of entity called a "financial subsidiary."  A financial subsidiary may be used by a national bank or a group of national banks to engage in many of the same activities permitted for a financial holding company, though several of these activities, including real estate development or investment, insurance or annuity underwriting, insurance portfolio investing and merchant banking, are reserved for financial holding companies.  A bank's investment in a financial subsidiary affects the way in which the bank calculates its regulatory capital, and the assets and liabilities of financial subsidiaries may not be consolidated with those of the bank.  The bank must also be certain that its risk management procedures are adequate to protect it from financial and operational risks created both by itself and by any financial subsidiary.  Further, the bank must establish policies to maintain the separate corporate identities of the bank and its financial subsidiary and to prevent each from becoming liable for the obligations of the other.

The Act also establishes the concept of "functional supervision," meaning that similar activities should be regulated by the same regulator.  Accordingly, the Act spells out the regulatory authority of the bank regulatory agencies, the Securities and Exchange Commission and state insurance regulators so that each type of activity is supervised by a regulator with corresponding expertise.  The Federal Reserve Board is intended to be an umbrella supervisor with the authority to require a bank holding company or financial holding company or any subsidiary of either to file reports as to its financial condition, risk management systems, transactions with depository institution subsidiaries and affiliates, and compliance with any federal law that it has authority to enforce.

Although the Act reaffirms that states are the regulators for insurance activities of all persons, including federally-chartered banks, the Act prohibits states from preventing depository institutions and their affiliates from conducting insurance activities.

The Act and the regulations adopted pursuant to the Act create new opportunities for the Company to offer expanded services to customers in the future, though the Company has not yet determined what the nature of the expanded services might be or when the Company might find it feasible to offer them.  The Act has increased competition from larger financial institutions that are currently more capable than the Company of taking advantage of the opportunity to provide a broader range of services. However, the Company continues to believe that its commitment to providing high quality, personalized service to customers will permit it to remain competitive in its market area.

Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act was signed into law on July 30, 2002, and mandated extensive reforms and requirements for public companies.  The SEC has adopted extensive regulations pursuant to the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.  The Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the SEC's implementing regulations have increased the Company's cost of doing business, particularly its fees for internal and external audit services and legal services, and the law and regulations are expected to continue to do so.  However, the Company has not been affected by Sarbanes-Oxley and the SEC regulations in ways that are materially different or more onerous than those of other public companies of similar size and in similar business.

Legislative Proposals

Legislation which could significantly affect the business of banking is introduced in Congress from time to time.  For example, numerous bills are pending in Congress and the South Carolina Legislature to provide various forms of relief to homeowners from foreclosure of mortgages as a result of publicity surrounding economic problems resulting from subprime mortgage lending and the economic adjustments in national real estate markets.  The Company cannot predict the future course of such legislative proposals or their impact on the Company should they be adopted.  

Available information
 

The Company electronically files with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") its annual reports on Form 10-K, its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, its periodic reports on Form 8-K, amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "1934 Act"), and proxy materials pursuant to Section 14 of the 1934 Act. The SEC maintains a site on the Internet, www.sec.gov , that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC.

The table "Rate/Volume Variance Analysis" provides a summary of changes in net interest income resulting from changes in rate and changes in volume.  The changes due to rate are the difference between the current and prior year's rates multiplied by the prior year's volume.  The changes due to volume are the difference between the current and prior year's volume multiplied by rates earned or paid in the current year.  Rate/Volume Variance has been allocated to change due to volume.

INVESTMENT SECURITIES

The goal of the investment policy of the Bank is to provide for management of the investment securities portfolio in a manner designed to maximize portfolio yield over the long term consistent with liquidity needs, pledging requirements, asset/liability strategies, and safety/soundness concerns.  Specific investment objectives include the desire to: provide adequate liquidity for loan demand, deposit fluctuations, and other changes in balance sheet mix; manage interest rate risk; maximize the institution's overall return; provide availability of collateral for pledging; and manage asset-quality diversification of the bank's assets. During 2007 and 2006, investment securities represented 25.0% and 21.5% of total assets, respectively.  Loan demand remained solid throughout  2006 but declined in 2007 due primarily to a decline in  real estate activity.  At December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005, the Loans/Total Assets ratios were 66.3%, 67.7%, and 63.5%, respectively,   Investment securities have correspondingly risen and fallen as a percentage of total assets.

Investment securities with a par value of $182,651,000, $167,829,000, and $122,980,000 at December 31, 2007, 2006, 2005, respectively, were pledged to secure public deposits and for other purposes as required by law.

The following summaries reflect the book value, unrealized gains and losses, approximate market value, weighted-average tax-equivalent yields , and maturities on investment securities at December 31, 2007, 2006, 2005.

LOAN PORTFOLIO

LENDING ACTIVITIES

The Company engages, through the Bank, in a full complement of lending activities, including commercial, consumer, installment and real estate loans.

Real Estate Loans

One of the primary components of the Bank's loan portfolio are loans secured by first or second mortgages on residential and commercial real estate.  These loans will generally consist of commercial real estate loans, construction and development loans and residential real estate loans (including home equity and second mortgage loans).  Interest rates are generally fixed but adjustable rates are also utilized for some commercial purpose loans.  The bank seeks to manage credit risk in the commercial real estate portfolio by emphasizing loans on owner-occupied office and retail buildings.   In addition, the Bank typically requires personal guarantees of the principal owners of the property.  The Bank may also facilitate mortgage loans funded and owned by investors in the secondary market, earning a fee, but avoiding the interest rate risk of holding long-term, fixed-rate loans. The principal economic risk associated with all loans, including real estate loans, is the creditworthiness of the Bank's borrowers.  The ability of a borrower to repay a real estate loan will depend upon a number of economic factors, including employment levels and fluctuations in the value of real estate.  In the case of a real estate construction loan, there is generally no income from the underlying property during the construction period, borrowings may exceed the current value of the improvements to the property, and the developer's personal obligations under the loan may be limited.  Each of these factors increases the risk of nonpayment by the borrower.  In the case of a real estate purchase loan and other first mortgage real estate loans structured with a balloon payment, the borrower may be unable to repay the loan at the end of the loan term and may thus be forced to refinance the loan at a higher interest rate, or, in certain cases, the borrower may default as a result of an inability to refinance the loan.  In either case, the risk of nonpayment by the borrower is increased.  The Bank will also face additional credit risks to the extent that it engages in making adjustable rate mortgage loans ("ARMs").  In the case of an ARM, as interest rates increase, the borrower's required payments increase periodically, thus increasing the potential for default  (See ARM Loans below). The marketability of all real estate loans, including ARMs, is also generally affected by the prevailing level of interest rates.    Bank management monitors loans with loan-to-value ratios in excess of regulatory guidelines and secured by real estate in accordance with guidance as set forth by regulatory authorities.  Aggregate levels of both commercial and residential real estate loans with loan-to-value ratios above regulatory guidelines are reported to the Bank's Board of Directors on a quarterly basis in total dollars and as a percent of capital.  Additionally, loans in excess of $500,000 with a loan-to-value ratio exception are simultaneously reported on an individual basis.  The total of loans with loan-to-value ratio exceptions are maintained within regulatory limitations.  The total amount of loans with loan-to-value ratios in excess of regulatory guidelines totaled $40,862,000 and $43,429,000 or 7.1% and 7.7% of total loans at fiscal year-ends December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Commercial Loans

The Bank makes loans for commercial purposes in various lines of business.  The commercial loans will include both secured and unsecured loans for working capital (including inventory and receivables), loans for business expansion (including acquisition of real estate and improvements), and loans for purchases of equipment.  When taken, security usually consists of liens on inventories, receivables, equipment, and furniture and fixtures.  Unsecured business loans are generally short-term with emphasis on repayment strengths and low debt-to-worth ratios.  Commercial lending involves significant risk because repayment usually depends on the cash flows generated by a borrower's business, and debt service capacity can deteriorate because of downturns in national and local economic conditions.  Management generally controls risks by conducting more in-depth and ongoing financial analysis of a borrower's cash flows and other financial information.

Consumer Loans

The Bank makes a variety of loans to individuals for personal and household purposes, including secured and unsecured installment and term loans, home equity loans and lines of credit and unsecured revolving lines of credit such as credit cards.  The secured installment and term loans to consumers will generally consist of loans to purchase automobiles, boats, recreational vehicles, mobile homes and household furnishings, with the collateral for each loan being the purchased property.  The underwriting criteria for home equity loans will generally be the same as applied by the Bank when making a first mortgage loan, as described above, but more restrictive for home equity lines of credit. Consumer loans generally involve more credit risks than other loans because of the type and nature of the underlying collateral or because of the absence of any collateral.  Consumer loan repayments are dependent on the borrower's continuing financial stability and are likely to be adversely affected by job loss, divorce and illness.  Furthermore, the application of various federal and state laws, including federal and state bankruptcy and insolvency laws, may limit the amount which can be recovered on such loans in the case of default.  In most cases, any repossessed collateral will not provide an adequate source of repayment of the outstanding loan balance.  Although the underwriting process for consumer loans includes a comparison of the value of the security, if any, to the proposed loan amount, the Bank cannot predict the extent to which the borrower's ability to pay, and the value of the security, will be affected by prevailing economic and other conditions.

LENDING ACTIVITIES (Continued)

Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loans

The Bank offers adjustable rate mortgages (ARMs)(as defined by regulatory authorities) for consumer purpose real estate loans only in the form of revolving equity lines of credit.  ARMs are typically offered as an alternative structuring only on commercial purpose real estate loans and other commercial purpose loans.  Variable rate loans, the majority of which are real estate secured, totaled $149,865,000 and $152,293,000 or 26.1% and 26.8% of total loans at fiscal year-ends December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.  (The Bank does not offer any loan products which provide for planned graduated payments or loans which allow negative amortization.)

Loan Approval and Review

The Bank's loan approval policies provide for various levels of officer lending authority. When the amount of aggregate loans to a single borrower exceeds an individual officer's lending authority, the loan request will be considered and approved by an officer with a higher lending limit or by the Credit Committee as established by the Board of Directors. The Loan Committee of the Board of Directors recommends to the Board of Directors the lending limits for the Bank's loan officers.  The Bank has an in-house lending limit to a single borrower, group of borrowers, or related entities, of the lesser of $10,000,000 or 15% of capital.  An unsecured limit (aggregate) for the Bank is set at 100% of total capital.

$ 26

Accruing loans which are contractually past due 90 days or more are graded substandard within the Bank's internal loan grading system and come under heightened scrutiny. Typically, a loan will not remain in the 90 days past due category, but will either show improvement or be moved to nonaccrual loans.  Loans are placed in a nonaccrual 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 "Nonaccrual, Past Due, and Restructured Loans", 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, 2007, all loans which management had serious concerns about the borrower being able to repay were put into nonaccrual status and are disclosed under "Nonaccrual, Past Due and Restructured Loans" and there were no other potential problem loans known to management.

FOREIGN OUTSTANDINGS

As of the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company had no foreign loans outstanding.

LOAN CONCENTRATIONS

As of the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company did not have any concentration of loans to multiple borrowers engaged in similar activities that would cause them to be similarly affected by economic or other conditions exceeding 10% of total loans which are not otherwise disclosed as a category of loans in the tables above.

SUMMARY OF LOAN LOSS EXPERIENCE

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

The following table summarizes loan balances as of the end of each period indicated, averages for each period, changes in the allowance for loan losses arising from charge-offs and recoveries by loan category, and additions to the allowance which have been charged to expense.

The allowance for loan losses is increased by the provision for loan losses, which is a direct charge to expense.  Losses on specific loans are charged against the allowance in the period in which management determines that such loans become uncollectible.  Recoveries of previously charged-off loans are credited to the allowance.

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at an amount based on considerations of classified and internally-identified problem loans, the current trend in delinquencies, the volume of past-due loans, historical loss experience, current economic conditions, over-margined real estate loans, if any, the effects of changes in risk selection or underwriting practices, the experience, ability and depth of lending management and staff, industry conditions, the effect of changes in concentrations of credit, and loan administration risks.  In addition, the Asset/Liability Management Committee and the Credit Committee review the adequacy of the allowance quarterly and make recommendations regarding the appropriate degree of consideration to be given the various factors utilized in determining the allowance and to make recommendations as to the appropriate amount of the allowance.

The Board of Directors maintains an independent Loan Review function which has established controls and procedures to monitor loan portfolio risk on an on-going basis.  Credit reviews on all major relationships are conducted on a continuing basis as is the monitoring of past-due trends and classified assets.  The function utilizes various methodologies in its assessment of the adequacy of the Allowance for Loan Losses.  Three primary measurements are reported to the Board of Directors on a quarterly basis, the Graded Loan Method based on a bank-wide risk grading model, the Migration Analysis Method which tracks risk patterns on charged-off loans for the previous 10 years, and the Percentage of Net Loans Method.  Additionally, the function annually reviews the economic assessment conducted by Loan Administration, addresses portfolio risk by industry concentration, reviews loan policy changes and marketing strategies for any effect on portfolio risk, and conducts tests addressing portfolio performance by type of portfolio, collateral type, and loan officer performance.

Management utilizes the best information available to establish the allowance for loan losses.  However, future adjustments to the allowance or to the reserve  adequacy methodology  may be necessary if economic conditions differ substantially, or  the required methodology is altered by regulatory authorities governing the Company or the Bank, or alternative accounting methodologies are promulgated by the Public Company Accounting  Oversight Board.

ITEM 1A.   RISK FACTORS

An investment in our common stock involves a significant degree of risk.  Any of the following risks could adversely affect our business, our results of operations and our financial condition, as well as the price of our common stock.  The risks discussed below also include forward-looking statements, and our actual results may differ substantially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements.

Risks Related to Our Business

Our growth strategy may not be successful.

We have plans to maintain our recent asset and deposit growth through the opening of additional branch locations and the hiring of additional bankers. We may not be successful in identifying or obtaining suitable new branch locations or receiving regulatory approval for them, or employing and retaining suitable bankers, on terms that we can afford and that are attractive to us. Even if we successfully open additional branch locations and hire additional bankers, we may not achieve the asset and deposit growth that we seek because of competition or poor economic conditions, or for other reasons.

Our growth strategy may reduce our earnings in the near term.

We expect each new office we open to take several years to become profitable and we cannot guarantee that any new office will ever become profitable.  We expect that by having a number of new offices at any given time, our ability to operate at higher levels of profitability will be reduced until our new offices can operate at levels of profitability that equal or exceed our older offices.

Our growth strategy may require future increases in capital that we may not be able to accomplish.

We are required by banking regulators to maintain various ratios of capital to assets. As our assets continue to grow we expect our capital ratios to decline unless we can also continue to increase our earnings or raise sufficient new capital to keep pace with asset growth.  Our ability to raise additional capital, if needed, will depend, among other things, on conditions in the capital markets at that time, which are outside our control, and on our financial condition and performance.  If we are unable to limit a capital ratio decline by increasing our capital, we will have to restrict our asset growth to the amount our earnings will support.

We may be unable to manage our sustained growth successfully.

We have grown substantially in the last several years.  Although we may not continue to grow as fast as we have in the past, we intend to expand our asset base.  Our future profitability will depend in part on our ability to manage growth successfully.  Our ability to manage growth successfully will depend on our ability to maintain cost controls and asset quality while attracting additional loans and deposits, as well as on factors beyond our control, such as economic conditions and interest rate trends.  If we grow quickly and are not able to control costs and maintain asset quality, growth could materially adversely affect our financial performance.

We depend on the services of a number of key personnel, and a loss of any of those personnel could disrupt our operations and result in reduced revenues.

We are a relationship-driven organization.  Our growth and development in recent years have depended in large part on the efforts of several members of our senior management team.  These senior officers have primary contact with our customers and are extremely important in maintaining personalized relationships with our customer base, which are key aspects of our business strategy, and in increasing our market presence.  The unexpected loss of services of one or more of these key employees could have a material adverse effect on our operations and possibly result in reduced revenues if we were unable to find suitable replacements promptly.

If our loan customers do not pay us as they have contracted to, we may experience losses.

Our principal revenue producing business is making loans.  If our customers do not repay the loans, we will suffer losses. Even though we maintain an allowance for loan losses, the amount of the allowance may not be adequate to cover the losses we experience.  We attempt to mitigate this risk by a thorough review of the creditworthiness of loan customers. Nevertheless, there is risk that our credit evaluations will prove to be inaccurate due to changed circumstances or otherwise.

ITEM 1A.   RISK FACTORS - Continued

Risks Related to Our Business - Continued

Our business is concentrated in Horry County and the "Waccamaw Neck" region of Georgetown County, and a downturn in the economy of the Horry County and the Waccamaw Neck area, a decline in real estate values in the Horry County and the Waccamaw Neck areas or other events in our market area may adversely affect our business.

Substantially all of our business is located in the Horry County and the "Waccamaw Neck" region of Georgetown County area in coastal South Carolina.  As a result, our financial condition and results of operations may be affected by changes in the Horry County and the Waccamaw Neck economy.  A prolonged period of economic recession, a general decline in Horry County and the Waccamaw Neck area real estate values or other adverse economic conditions in Horry County and the Waccamaw Neck and South Carolina may result in decreases in demand for our services, increases in nonpayment of loans and decreases in the value of collateral securing loans, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, future prospects, financial condition or results of operations.

We operate in an area susceptible to hurricane and other weather related damage which could disrupt our business and reduce our profitability.

Nearly all of our business and our customers are located in coastal South Carolina, an area that often experiences damage from hurricanes and other weather phenomena.  We attempt to mitigate such risk with insurance and by requiring insurance on property taken as collateral.  However, catastrophic weather damage to a large portion of our market area could cause substantial disruptions to our business and our customers' businesses which would reduce our profitability for some period.

We face strong competition from larger, more established competitors which may adversely affect our ability to operate profitably.

We encounter strong competition from financial institutions operating in the greater Horry/Georgetown County and Grand Strand area of South Carolina.  In the conduct of our business, we also compete with credit unions, insurance companies, money market mutual funds and other financial institutions, some of which are not subject to the same degree of regulation as we are.  Many of these competitors have substantially greater resources and lending abilities than we have and offer services, such as investment banking, insurance, trust and international banking services that we do not provide.  We believe that we have been able to, and will continue to be able to, compete effectively with these institutions because of our experienced bankers and personalized service, as well as through loan participations and other strategies and techniques.  However, we cannot promise that we are correct in our belief.  If we are wrong, our ability to operate profitably may be negatively affected.

Technological changes affect our business, and we may have fewer resources than many of our competitors to invest in technological improvements.

The financial services industry continues to undergo rapid technological changes with frequent introductions of new technology-driven products and services.  In addition to enabling financial institutions to serve clients better, the effective use of technology may increase efficiency and may enable financial institutions to reduce costs.  Our future success may depend, in part, upon our ability to use technology to provide products and services that provide convenience to customers and to create additional efficiencies in our operations.  We may need to make significant additional capital investments in technology in the future, and we may not be able to effectively implement new technology-driven products and services.  Many of our competitors have substantially greater resources to invest in technological improvements.

Our profitability and liquidity may be affected by changes in interest rates and economic conditions.

Our profitability depends upon our net interest income, which is the difference between interest earned on our interest earning assets, such as loans and investment securities, and interest expense on interest bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings.  Our net interest income will be adversely affected if market interest rates change such that the interest we pay on deposits and borrowings increases faster than the interest earned on loans and investments, or, conversely, if the interest earned on loans and investments decreases faster than the interest we pay on deposits and borrowings.  Interest rates, and consequently our results of operations, are affected by general economic conditions (domestic and foreign) and fiscal and monetary policies.  Monetary and fiscal policies may materially affect the level and direction of interest rates.  Beginning in June 2004 through June 2006, the Federal Reserve raised rates 17 times for a total increase of 4.25%.  Increases in interest rates generally decrease the market values of interest earning investments and loans held and therefore may adversely affect our liquidity and earnings.  Increased interest rates also generally affect the volume of mortgage loan originations, the resale value of mortgage loans originated for resale, and the ability of borrowers to perform under existing loans of all types.  Beginning September 18, 2007, the Federal Reserve has decreased interest rates five times through February 29, 2008 for a total decrease of 2.25%.  Decreases in interest rates generally have the opposite affect on market values of interest-bearing assets, the volume of mortgage loan originations, the resale value of mortgage loans originated for resale, and the ability of borrowers to perform under existing loans of all types from the effect of increases in interest rates.

ITEM 1A.    RISK FACTORS - Continued

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

Our common stock has a limited trading market, which may make the prompt execution of sale transactions difficult.

Although our common stock may be traded from time to time on an individual basis, no active trading market has developed and none is expected to develop in the foreseeable future.  Our common stock is not traded on any exchange.  Accordingly, shareholders who wish to sell shares may experience a delay or have to sell them at lower prices than they seek in order to sell them promptly, if at all.

There is no guarantee we will continue to pay cash dividends in the future at the same or any level.

Declaration and payment of dividends are within the discretion of our board of directors.  Our bank is currently our only source of funds with which to pay cash dividends.  Our bank's declaration and payment of future dividends to us are within the discretion of the bank's board of directors, and are dependent upon its earnings, financial condition, its need to retain earnings for use in the business and any other pertinent factors.  The bank's payment of dividends is also subject to various regulatory requirements and the ability of the bank's regulators to forbid or limit its payment of dividends.

Provisions in our articles of incorporation and South Carolina law may discourage or prevent takeover attempts, and these provisions may have the effect of reducing the market price for our stock.

Our articles of incorporation include several provisions that may have the effect of discouraging or preventing hostile takeover attempts. The provisions include staggered terms for our board of directors and requirements of supermajority votes to approve certain business transactions.  In addition, South Carolina law contains several provisions that may make it more difficult for a third party to acquire control of us without the approval of our board of directors, and may make it more difficult or expensive for a third party to acquire a majority of our outstanding common stock.  To the extent that these provisions are effective in discouraging or preventing takeover attempts, they may tend to reduce the market price for our stock.

Our common stock is not insured, so shareholders could lose their total investments.

Our common stock is not a deposit or savings account, and is not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.  Should our business fail, shareholders could lose their total investments.

Risks Related to Our Industry

We are subject to governmental regulation which could change and increase our cost of doing business or have an adverse affect on our business.

We operate in a highly regulated industry and are subject to examination, supervision and comprehensive regulation by various federal and state agencies.  Our compliance with the requirements of these agencies is costly and may limit our growth and restrict certain of our activities, including, payment of dividends, mergers and acquisitions, investments, loans and interest rates charged, and locations of offices.  We are also subject to capitalization guidelines established by federal authorities and our failure to meet those guidelines could result, in an extreme case, in our bank's being placed in receivership.  We have also recently been subjected to the extensive and expensive requirements imposed on public companies by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and related regulations.

The laws and regulations applicable to the banking industry could change at any time, and we cannot predict the impact of these changes on our business or profitability.  Because government regulation greatly affects the business and financial results of all commercial banks and bank holding companies, our cost of compliance could adversely affect our ability to operate profitably.

We are susceptible to changes in monetary policy and other economic factors which may adversely affect our ability to operate profitably.

Changes in governmental, economic and monetary policies may affect the ability of our bank to attract deposits and make loans.  The rates of interest payable on deposits and chargeable on loans are affected by governmental regulation and fiscal policy as well as by national, state and local economic conditions.  All of these matters are outside of our control and affect our ability to operate profitably.

ITEM 1B.    UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

The Company has no unresolved comments from the SEC staff regarding its 1934 Act filings in the 180 days prior to fiscal year-end December 31, 2007.

ITEM 5.  MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND
RELATED STOCK HOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

As of March 1, 2008, there were approximately 845 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.  During 2006 and 2007, management was aware of a few transactions, including some transactions in which the Company was the purchaser and one transaction in which the Company was the seller, in which the Company's common stock traded in the ranges set forth below. However, management has not ascertained that these transactions resulted from arm's length transactions between the parties involved, and because of the limited number of shares involved, these prices may not be indicative of the value of the common stock.

(1)  Market prices have been adjusted to give retroactive effect to stock dividend declared September 11, 2007 and distributed September
      28, 2007.

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 $5.25 per share in 2007 and $5.25 per share in 2006. In addition, the Company distributed a 10% stock dividend on September 28, 2007.  There can be no assurance, however, as to the payment of dividends by the Company in the future.  Payment of dividends is within the discretion of the Board of Directors, and is dependent upon the earnings and financial condition of the Company and the Bank, and other related factors.  The Company's primary source of funds with which to pay dividends are dividends paid to the Company by the Bank.  There are legal restrictions on the Bank's ability to pay dividends.  See "Supervision and Regulation-Payment of Dividends" under Item 1, Part I of this Form 10-K for a description of these legal restrictions.

The Company does not have any equity compensation plans.  Accordingly, no information is required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 201(d) of Regulation S-K.

The Company made only one sale of securities during 2007.  On September 20, 2007 the Company sold 304 shares of common stock to The Conway National Bank Profit Sharing and Savings and Profit Sharing Plan for a price of $55,936, or $167.27 per share, adjusted for the effect of a 10% stock dividend distributed September 28, 2007.  This sale was exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 because no public offering was involved.

Purchases of stock during the fourth quarter of 2007 are outlined in the below table.  Information about all other purchases during 2007 has been previously reported on Forms 10-Q, filed May 9, 2007, August 9, 2007, and November 9, 2007, and is incorporated herein by reference.

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.  References to dollar amounts in this section are in thousands, except per share data.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company has adopted various accounting policies which govern the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States in the preparation of the Company's financial statements. The significant accounting policies of the Company are described in the footnotes to the consolidated financial statements.

Certain accounting policies involve significant judgments and assumptions by management which have a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities; management considers such accounting policies to be critical accounting policies. The judgments and assumptions used by management are based on historical experience and other factors, which are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Because of the nature of the judgments and assumptions made by management, actual results could differ from these judgments and estimates which could have a material impact on the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the results of operations of the Company.

The Company believes the allowance for loan losses is a critical accounting policy that requires the most significant judgments and estimates used in preparation of its consolidated financial statements. Refer to "Provision for Loan Losses" below for a detailed description of the Company's estimation process and methodology related to the allowance for loan losses.

Distribution of Assets and Liabilities

The Company maintains a conservative approach in determining the distribution of assets and liabilities.  Loans increased 12.6% from $503,926 at December 31, 2005 to $567,325 at December 31, 2006; and 1.1% from December 31, 2006 to $573,751 at December 31, 2007.  Loan growth is attributed to overall business development efforts to meet business and personal loan demand in our market area. Loan demand in our market area remained solid in 2006 but softened in 2007 primarily due to a decline in real estate activity.  Loans increased as a percentage of total assets from 63.5% at year-end 2005 to 67.7% at year-end 2006 but decreased to 66.3% at year-end 2007.  Investment securities and federal funds sold decreased as a percentage of total assets from 29.1% at year-end 2005 to 24.5% at year-end 2006 but increased to 28.0% at year-end 2007.  Investments and federal funds sold provide for an adequate supply of secondary liquidity.  Year-end other assets as a percentage of total assets rose from 7.4% at year-end 2005 to 7.8% at year-end 2006, and decreased to 5.7% at year-end 2007.  Management has sought to build the deposit base with stable, relatively noninterest-rate sensitive deposits by offering the small to medium account holders a wide array of deposit instruments at competitive rates. Noninterest-bearing demand deposits, as a percent of total assets, have declined over the previous three years from 17.0% at year-end 2005 to 15.5% at year-end 2006 and to 13.0% at year-end 2007. The Company has anticipated a decline over the long-term as more customers utilize interest-bearing deposit accounts and repurchase agreements.  Interest-bearing liabilities as a percentage of total assets have risen from 72.9% at December 31, 2005 to 74.0% at December 31, 2006 and to 76.0% at December 31, 2007.  Stockholders' equity as a percentage of total assets increased from 8.9% at December 31, 2005 to 9.2% at December 31, 2006 and to 9.5% at December 31, 2007.  The Bank remains well-capitalized (see Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements, contained elsewhere in this report).

The following table sets forth the percentage relationship to total assets of significant components of the Company's balance sheet as of December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005:

Results of Operations

CNB Corporation and subsidiary recognized earnings in 2007, 2006, and 2005 of $9,720, $10,046, and $9,478, respectively, resulting in a return on average assets of 1.15%, 1.24%, and 1.30%, and a return on average stockholders' equity of 11.93%, 13.36%, and 13.41%. The earnings were primarily attributable to favorable but declining 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 ‑ Noninterest Income") and to control other expenses (see "Net Income - Noninterest Expenses").  Earnings, coupled with a moderate dividend policy, have supplied the necessary capital funds to support bank operations. Total assets were $865,638 at December 31, 2007 as compared to $837,622 at December 31, 2006 and $792,720 at December 31, 2005.  The following table sets forth the financial highlights for fiscal years 2007, 2006, and 2005.

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 maintained net interest margins in 2007, 2006, and 2005 of 3.96%, 4.18%, and 4.31%, respectively, as compared to management's long-term target of 4.20%. Net interest margins have been compressed at the Bank and industry-wide, as a result of strong competition for deposits and competitive lending practices.  The Bank has sought to increase the volume of outstanding loans, while correspondingly reducing the amount of investments held, in order to enhance interest income. Loan demand remained strong throughout 2005 and 2006 but declined in 2007 due primarily to a decline in real estate activity.   Fully-tax-equivalent net interest income grew from $29,074 in 2005 to $31,428 in 2006 and remained steady at $31,361 in 2007.  During the three-year period, total fully-tax-equivalent interest income increased by 26.0% from $39,533 in 2005 to $49,824 in 2006 and increased 8.8% in 2007 to $54,219.  Over the same period, total interest expense increased 75.9% from $10,459 in 2005 to $18,396 in 2006 and increased 24.3% to $22,858 in 2007. Fully-tax-equivalent net interest income as a percentage of average total earning assets was 4.31% in 2005, 4.18% in 2006, and 3.96% in 2007.

Interest rates paid on deposits and borrowed funds and earned on loans and investments have generally followed the fluctuations in market interest rates in 2007, 2006, and 2005.  However, fluctuations in market interest rates may 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 re-priced 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 re-priced 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.  When RSAs exceed RSLs for a specific repricing period, a positive interest sensitive gap results.  The gap is negative when interest-sensitive liabilities exceed interest-sensitive assets.  For a bank with a positive gap, rising interest rates would be expected to have a positive effect on net interest income and falling rates would be expected to have the opposite effect.  However, gap analysis, such as set forth in the table below, does not take into account actions a bank or its customers may take during periods of changing rates, which could significantly change the effects of rate changes that would otherwise be expected.  The Bank seeks to manage its assets and liabilities in a manner that will limit interest rate risk and thus stabilize long-term earning power. The following table sets forth the Bank's static gap 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 200 basis point rise or fall in interest rates will have less than a 10 percent effect on before-tax net interest income over a one-year period, which is within bank guidelines.

NET INCOME (continued)

Provision for Loan Losses

It is the policy of the Bank to maintain the allowance for loan losses in an amount commensurate with management's ongoing evaluation of the loan portfolio and deemed appropriate by management to cover estimated losses inherent in the portfolio.  The Company complies with the provisions of SFAS No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," as amended by SFAS 118, in connection with the allowance for loan losses (see NOTE 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES).  The provision for loan losses was $1,145 in 2007, $808 in 2006, and $1,275 in 2005.  Net loan charge-offs totaled $1,114 in 2007, $250 in 2006, and $461 in 2005, with net charge-offs being centered in consumer purpose and commercial and industrial loans in 2007, in consumer purpose loans in 2006, and in consumer purpose and commercial and industrial loans in 2005.  The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of net loans was 1.15% in 2007, 1.15% at December 31, 2006, and 1.19% at December 31, 2005.

Securities Transactions

Net unrealized gains/(losses) in the investment securities portfolio were $1,728 at December 31, 2007, $(1,801) at December 31, 2006, and $(2,919) at December 31, 2005.  The market value of investment securities has increased due to the declines in market interest rates, increased demand for bonds, and the consequent increase in prices. Security gains of $9 were realized in 2007 on sales of $2,315 in short-term available-for-sale securities to supplement liquidity.   Security gains of $2 were realized in 2005 on sales of $4,000 in short-term available-for-sale securities to supplement liquidity.  No security gains/(losses) were realized in 2006.

Noninterest Income

Other income, net of any securities gains/(losses), increased by 8.5% from $6,409 in 2005 to $6,958 in 2006 and grew 0.5% from $6,958 in 2006 to $6,993 in 2007.   During 2005, deposit service charge income declined as the economy strengthened and demand deposit balances grew.  Additionally, higher earnings allowance credits were paid on commercial balances.  This decline in deposit service charge income was offset by strong growth in secondary market mortgage loan income as we expanded our secondary market mortgage loan program during the second half of 2005.  The increase in noninterest income in 2006 was attributable to increased loan fee income.  Noninterest income was also enhanced during the same period by two non-recurring items:  the receipt of life insurance proceeds, the income portion of which was $198; and a gain from the sale of real estate in the amount of $277.  During 2007, service charge income on deposit accounts increased due to an increase in charges implemented by the Company, increased commercial services income, and declines in demand deposit balances as the economy slowed.  Other service and exchange charges declined due to the non-recurrence of extraordinary miscellaneous other income experienced in 2006.

Noninterest Expenses

Noninterest expenses increased by 14.4% from $19,530 in 2005 to $22,339 in 2006, and decreased 1.4% from $22,339 in 2006 to $22,019 in 2007.  The components of other expenses are salaries and employee benefits of $12,459, $13,684, and $14,044; occupancy and furniture and equipment expenses of $2,727, $3,247, and $3,338; and other operating expenses of $4,344, $5,408, and $4,637 for 2005, 2006, and 2007, respectively.

The increase in salary and employee benefits reflects compensation increases, the increased costs of providing employee benefits, and an increase from 249 to 264 full-time equivalent employees from year-end 2005 to year-end 2006.   As of year-end 2007, the Company also had 264 full-time equivalent employees.

Occupancy and furniture and equipment expenses were impacted by the construction of the Company's Little River banking office, and renovations to the Company's Operations and Administration building.

Noninterest expense is expected to continue to grow in 2008 due to increased growth in operations. 

Income Taxes

Provisions for income taxes increased .7% from $4,748 in 2005 to $4,780 in 2006 and increased 4.9% from $4,780 in 2006 to $5,015 in 2007.  Income tax liability increased in 2005 and 2006, as income before income taxes has increased 16.5% and 4.2%, respectively.
Income before income taxes decreased .6% in 2007.  However, the Company's effective tax rate increased during 2007.


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; has the ability, on a short-term basis, to borrow funds from the Federal Reserve System; and has a line of credit from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (see NOTE 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements-LINES OF CREDIT).  The Company had cash balances on hand of $5,837, $6,670, and $6,623 at December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005 with liabilities, consisting of cash dividends payable, totaling $4,475, $4,123, and $3,942, respectively.  Management feels that liquidity sources are more than adequate to meet funding needs.

31



OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS AND CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

The Company, through the operations of the Bank, makes contractual commitments to extend credit in the ordinary course of business.  These commitments are legally binding agreements to lend money to customers of the Bank at predetermined interest rates for a specified period of time.  In addition to commitments to extend credit, the Bank also issues standby letters of credit which are assurances to a third party that they will not suffer a loss if the Bank's customer fails to meet its contractual obligation to a third party.  The Bank may also have outstanding commitments to buy/sell securities.  At December 31, 2007, the Bank had issued commitments to extend credit of $58.0 million, standby letters of credit of $4.1 million, and no commitments to buy or sell securities (see NOTE 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements-FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK). The majority of the commitments and standby letters of credit typically mature within one year and past experience indicates that many of the commitments and standby letters of credit will expire unused.  However, through its various sources of liquidity, the Bank believes that it will have the necessary resources to meet these obligations should the need arise.

Neither the Company nor the Bank is involved in other off-balance sheet contractual relationships, unconsolidated related entities that have off-balance sheet arrangements or transactions that could result in liquidity needs or other commitments or significantly impact earnings.

The following table presents, as of December 31, 2007, the Company's and the Bank's fixed and determinable contractual obligations by payment date.  The payment amounts represent those amounts contractually due to the recipient

Obligations under non-cancelable operating lease agreements totaled $7 at December 31, 2007.  These obligations are payable over two years as shown in NOTE 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES.  Further information regarding the nature of time deposits is outlined in NOTE 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements - DEPOSITS.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

Total stockholders' equity was $82,112, $76,663, and $70,559 at December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005, representing 9.49%, 9.15%, and 8.89% of total assets, respectively.  At December 31, 2007, the Company and the Bank exceeded quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy (see NOTE 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements - REGULATORY MATTERS).  Capital is considered sufficient by management 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 noninterest expense. The Bank responds to inflation changes through re-adjusting noninterest income by repricing services.

ACCOUNTING ISSUES

Accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.  (See NOTE 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACTIVITIES).

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

In the normal course of its business the Company encounters two significant types of risks: economic and regulatory.  There are three main components of economic risk: interest rate risk, credit risk and market risk.  The Company is subject to interest rate risk to the degree that its interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice at different speeds, or on different basis, than its interest-earning assets.  Credit risk is the risk of default on the Company's loan portfolio that results from borrowers' inability or unwillingness to make contractually required payments.  Market risk, in regard to lending, reflects changes in the value of collateral underlying loans receivable and the valuation of real estate held by the Company.

The Company is subject to the regulations of various governmental agencies.  These regulations can and do change significantly from period to period.  The Company also undergoes periodic examinations by the regulatory agencies, which may subject it to further changes with respect to asset valuations, amounts of required loss allowances and operating restrictions from the regulators' judgments based on information available to them at the time of their examination.

ITEM 7.A QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk, in regard to interest rate risk, is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and rates. The Company's market risk arises principally from the interest rate risk inherent in its lending, deposit and borrowing activities.  Management actively monitors and manages its interest rate risk exposure.  In addition to other risks which the Company manages in the normal course of business, such as credit quality and liquidity risk, management considers interest rate risk to be a significant market risk that could potentially have a material effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operations (See Item 7 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Net Income - Net Interest Income).  Other types of market risks, such as foreign currency risk and commodity price risk, do not arise in the normal course of the Company's business activities.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Directors and Stockholders
CNB Corporation
Conway, South Carolina


We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of CNB Corporation and subsidiary as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity, and comprehensive income and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007.  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 the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  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 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 as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), CNB Corporation and subsidiary's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on criteria established in "Internal Control-Integrated Framework" issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) and our report dated March 13, 2008 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

UNQUALIFIED OPINION ON INTERNAL
CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING


REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
CNB Corporation
Conway, South Carolina

We have audited CNB Corporation and subsidiary's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on criteria established in "Internal Control-Integrated Framework," issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) .   CNB Corporation's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the effectiveness of the company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk.  Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.






37


In our opinion, CNB Corporation maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of CNB Corporation and subsidiary as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity, and comprehensive income and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007, and our report dated March 13, 2008 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

CNB CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACTIVITIES

Principles of consolidation and nature of operations
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CNB Corporation (the "Company") and its wholly-owned subsidiary, The Conway National Bank (the "Bank").  The Company operates as one business segment.  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.  The Bank operates under a national bank charter and provides full banking services to customers.  The Bank is subject to regulation by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.  The Company is subject to regulation by the Federal Reserve Board.

Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the dates of the consolidated balance sheets and the consolidated statements of income for the periods covered.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Concentrations of credit risk
Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of loans receivable, investment securities, federal funds sold and amounts due from banks.

The Company makes loans to individuals and small businesses for various personal and commercial purposes primarily in Horry County, South Carolina and the Waccamaw Neck area of Georgetown County, South Carolina.  The Company's loan portfolio is not concentrated in loans to any single borrower or a relatively small number of borrowers. The Company monitors concentrations of loans to classes of borrowers or industries that would be similarly affected by economic conditions.  As of December 31, 2007, the Company had concentrations of loans to the following classes of borrowers or industries: Land Subdivision and Development, Single Family Housing, Lessors of Residential Buildings, Lessors of Non-Residential Buildings, and Other Real Estate Related Activities.  The amount of commercial purpose loans outstanding to these groups of borrowers as of December 31, 2007 was $24,432,000, $27,013,000, $23,025,000, $30,011,000, and $22,551,000, respectively.  These amounts represented 28.37%, 31.37%, 26.74%, 34.85%, and 26.19% of Total Capital, as defined for regulatory purposes, for the same period, also respectively.

In addition to monitoring potential concentrations of loans to particular borrowers or groups of borrowers, industries and geographic regions, Management monitors exposure to credit risk from concentrations of lending products and practices such as loans with high loan-to-value ratios, interest-only payment loans, and balloon payment loans. Management monitors loans with loan-to-values in excess of regulatory guidelines and secured by real estate in accordance with guidance as set forth by regulatory authorities and maintains total loans with loan-to-value exceptions within regulatory limitations. Management monitors and manages other loans with high loan-to-value ratios, interest-only payment loans, and balloon payment loans within levels of risk acceptable to Management.  The Bank does not offer any loan products which provide for planned graduated payments or loans which allow negative amortization.

The Company's investment portfolio consists principally of obligations of the United States, its agencies or its corporations and general obligation municipal securities.  In the opinion of Management, there is no concentration of credit risk in its investment portfolio.  The Company places its deposits and correspondent accounts with and sells its federal funds to high quality institutions.  Management believes credit risk associated with correspondent accounts is not significant.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACTIVITIES, Continued

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash and due from banks and federal funds sold.  Generally, both cash and cash equivalents are considered to have maturities of three months or less, and accordingly, the carrying amount of such instruments is deemed to be a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Investment securities
The Company accounts for investment securities in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 115 , "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities."   This statement requires that the Company classify debt securities upon purchase as available for sale, held to maturity or trading.  Such assets classified as available for sale are carried at fair value.  Unrealized holding gains or losses are reported as a component of stockholders' equity (accumulated other comprehensive income) 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 into interest income using a method which approximates a level yield. To qualify as held to maturity 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 and interest income
Loans are recorded at their unpaid principal balance.  Interest on loans is accrued and recognized based upon the interest method.

The Company accounts for nonrefundable fees and certain direct costs associated with the origination of loans in accordance with SFAS No. 91, "Accounting for Nonrefundable Fees and Costs Associated with Originating or Acquiring Loans and Initial Direct Costs of Leases-an amendment of FASB Statements No. 13, 60, and 65 and a rescission of FASB Statement No. 17."  Under SFAS No. 91 nonrefundable fees and certain direct costs associated with the origination of loans are deferred and recognized as a yield adjustment over the contractual life of the related loans until such time that the loan is sold.

The Company accounts for impaired loans in accordance with SFAS No. 114, " Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan."   This standard requires that all creditors value loans at the loan's fair value if it is probable that the creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the terms of the loan agreement. Fair value may be determined based upon the present value of expected cash flows, market price of the loan, if available, or value of the underlying collateral. Expected cash flows are required to be discounted at the loan's effective interest rate.  SFAS No. 114 was amended by SFAS No. 118 to allow a creditor to use existing methods for recognizing interest income on an impaired loan and by requiring additional disclosures about how a creditor recognizes interest income on an impaired loan.

Under SFAS No. 114, as amended by SFAS No. 118, when the ultimate collectibility of an impaired loan's principal is in doubt, wholly or partially, all cash receipts are applied to principal.  When this doubt does not exist, cash receipts are applied under the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Once the reported principal balance has been reduced to zero, future cash receipts are applied to interest income, to the extent that any interest has been foregone. Further cash receipts are recorded as recoveries of any amounts previously charged off.

A loan is also considered impaired if its terms are modified in a troubled debt restructuring.  For these accruing impaired loans, cash receipts are typically applied to principal and interest receivable in accordance with the terms of the restructured loan agreement.  Interest income is recognized on these loans using the accrual method of accounting. 

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

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACTIVITIES, Continued

the allowance at such time as they are determined to be losses.  Subsequent recoveries are credited to the allowance.  Management considers the year-end allowance adequate to cover 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-offs in future periods will not exceed the allowance for loan losses or that additional increases in the allowance for loan losses will not be required.

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 on 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.

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 the straight-line method. 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.

Advertising expense
Advertising, promotional and other business development costs are generally expensed as incurred.  External costs incurred in producing media advertising are expensed the first time the advertising takes place. External costs relating to direct mailing costs are expensed in the period in which the direct mailings are sent. Advertising, promotional and other business development costs of $508,000, $596,000 and $476,000, were included in the Company's results of operations for 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively.

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase
The Bank enters into sales of securities under agreements to repurchase.  Fixed-coupon repurchase agreements are treated as financing, with the obligation to repurchase securities sold being reflected as a liability and the securities underlying the agreements remaining as assets.

Income taxes
Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," Under SFAS No. 109, deferred tax liabilities are recognized on all taxable temporary differences (reversing differences where tax deductions initially exceed financial statement expense, or income is reported for financial statement purposes prior to being reported for tax purposes).  In addition, deferred tax assets are recognized on all deductible temporary differences (reversing differences where financial statements expense initially exceeds tax deductions, or income is reported for tax purposes prior to being reported for financial statement purposes). Valuation allowances are established to reduce deferred tax assets if it is determined to be " more likely than not " that all or some portion of the potential deferred tax assets will not be realized.

In 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an Interpretation of SFAS No. 109." FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." FIN 48 also prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in an enterprise's tax return. FIN 48 was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Accordingly, the Company adopted FIN 48 effective January 1, 2007. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have any impact on the Company's consolidated financial position.

Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2006 have been reclassified, with no effect on net income, to be consistent with the classifications adopted for the year ended December 31, 2007.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACTIVITIES, Continued

Net income per share
The Company computes net income per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share."   Net income per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding: 861,065 in 2007, 865,589 in 2006 and 867,346 in 2005.  The Company does not have any dilutive instruments and therefore only basic net income per share is presented.  Net income per share and the weighted average common shares outstanding have been adjusted for all periods presented to reflect the 10% stock dividend issued in 2007.

Fair values of financial instruments
SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments," as amended by SFAS No. 119 and SFAS No. 133, 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.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair values of financial instruments as disclosed herein:

          Cash and due from banks - The carrying amounts of cash and due from banks (cash on hand, due from banks and interest bearing deposits with other
           banks) approximate their fair value.

          Federal funds sold - The carrying amounts of federal funds sold approximate their fair value.

          Investment securities available for sale and held to maturity - Fair values for investment securities are based on quoted market prices.

          Other investments - No ready market exists for Federal Reserve and Federal Home Loan Bank Stock and they have no quoted market value.  However,
          redemption of this stock has historically been at par value.  Management has determined it is not practicable to estimate the fair value and has not performed
          an impairment analysis.

          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, federal funds purchased, U. S. Treasury demand notes, and
          Federal Home Loan Bank advances 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 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACTIVITIES, Continued

Recently issued accounting standards

The following is a summary of recent authoritative pronouncements that may affect accounting, reporting, and disclosure of financial information by the Company:

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements." SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This standard eliminates inconsistencies found in various prior pronouncements but does not require any new fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2008 and will not impact the Company's accounting measurements but is expected to result in additional disclosures.

In September 2006, The FASB ratified the consensuses reached by the FASB's Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") relating to EITF 06-4, "Accounting for the Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements" ("EITF 06-4").  Entities purchase life insurance for various reasons including protection against loss of key employees and to fund postretirement benefits.  The two most common types of life insurance arrangements are endorsement split dollar life and collateral assignment split dollar life. EITF 06-4 covers the former and EITF 06-10 (discussed below) covers the latter.  EITF 06-4 states that entities with endorsement split-dollar life insurance arrangements that provide a benefit to an employee that extends to postretirement periods should recognize a liability for future benefits in accordance with SFAS No. 106, " Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions," (if, in substance, a postretirement benefit plan exists) or Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 12, " Omnibus Opinion - 1967" (if the arrangement is, in substance, an individual deferred compensation contract).  Entities should recognize the effects of applying this Issue through either (a) a change in accounting principle through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings or to other components of equity or net assets in the statement of financial position as of the beginning of the year of adoption or (b) a change in accounting principle through retrospective application to all prior periods.  EITF 06-4 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2008.  The Company does not believe the adoption of EITF 06-4 will have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In September 2006, the FASB ratified the consensus reached related to EITF 06-5,"Accounting for Purchases of Life Insurance-Determining the Amount That Could Be Realized in Accordance with FASB Technical Bulletin No. 85-4, Accounting for Purchases of Life Insurance."  EITF 06-5 states that a policyholder should consider any additional amounts included in the contractual terms of the insurance policy other than the cash surrender value in determining the amount that could be realized under the insurance contract.  EITF 06-5 also states that a policyholder should determine the amount that could be realized under the life insurance contract assuming the surrender of an individual-life by individual-life policy (or certificate by certificate in a group policy). EITF 06-5 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006.  The adoption of EITF 06-5 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows. 

In March 2007, the FASB ratified the consensus reached on EITF 06-10, "Accounting for Collateral Assignment Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements" ("EITF 06-10").  The postretirement aspect of this EITF is substantially similar to EITF 06-4 discussed above and requires that an employer recognize a liability for the postretirement benefit related to a collateral assignment split-dollar life insurance arrangement in accordance with either FASB Statement No. 106 or APB Opinion No. 12, as appropriate, if the employer has agreed to maintain a life insurance policy during the employee's retirement or provide the employee with a death benefit based on the substantive agreement with the employee.  In addition, a consensus was reached that an employer should recognize and measure an asset based on the nature and substance of the collateral assignment split-dollar life insurance arrangement.  EITF 06-10 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2008.  The Company does not believe the adoption of EITF 06-10 will have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Recently issued accounting standards - continued

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115" ("SFAS 159"). This statement permits, but does not require, entities to measure many financial instruments at fair value.  The objective is to provide entities with an opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions.  Entities electing this option will apply it when the entity first recognizes an eligible instrument and will report unrealized gains and losses on such instruments in current earnings.  This statement 1) applies to all entities, 2) specifies certain election dates, 3) can be applied on an instrument-by-instrument basis with some exceptions, 4) is irrevocable and 5) applies only to entire instruments.  One exception is demand deposit liabilities which are explicitly excluded as qualifying for fair value.  With respect to SFAS 115, available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities at the effective date are eligible for the fair value option at that date.  If the fair value option is elected for those securities at the effective date, cumulative unrealized gains and losses at that date shall be included in the cumulative-effect adjustment and thereafter, such securities will be accounted for as trading securities.  SFAS 159 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2008.  The Company is currently analyzing the fair value option that is permitted, but not required, under SFAS 159. 

In November 2007, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 109, "Written Loan Commitments Recorded at Fair Value Through Earnings" ("SAB 109").  SAB 109 expresses the current view of the SEC staff that the expected net future cash flows related to the associated servicing of the loan should be included in the measurement of all written loan commitments that are accounted for at fair value through earnings.   SEC registrants are expected to apply this guidance on a prospective basis to derivative loan commitments issued or modified in the first quarter of 2008 and thereafter.  The Company is currently analyzing the impact of this guidance, which relates to the Company's mortgage loans held for sale.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), "Business Combinations," ("SFAS 141(R)") which replaces SFAS 141. SFAS 141(R) establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer in a business combination recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any controlling interest; recognizes and measures goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination.  FAS 141(R) is effective for acquisitions by the Company taking place on or after January 1, 2009.  Early adoption is prohibited. Accordingly, a calendar year-end company is required to record and disclose business combinations following existing accounting guidance until January 1, 2009.  The Company will assess the impact of SFAS 141(R) if and when a future acquisition occurs.

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standard-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACTIVITIES, Continued

Risks and uncertainties

              In the normal course of its business the Company encounters two significant types of risks: economic and regulatory. There are three main components of economic risk: interest rate risk, credit risk and market risk.  The Company is subject to interest rate risk to the degree that its interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice at different speeds, or on different basis, than its interest-earning assets.  Credit risk is the risk of default on the Company's loan portfolio that results from borrower's inability or unwillingness to make contractually required payments.  Market risk, as it relates to lending and real estate held for operating locations, reflects changes in the value of collateral underlying loans receivable and the valuation of real estate held by the Company.

               The Company is subject to the regulations of various governmental agencies.  These regulations can and do change significantly from period to period.  The Company also undergoes periodic examinations by the regulatory agencies, which may subject it to further changes with respect to asset valuations, amounts of required loss allowances and operating restrictions from the regulators' judgments based on information available to them at the time of their examination.


NOTE 2 - RESTRICTIONS ON CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

               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, 2007 and 2006 were approximately $10,486,000 and $19,381,000, respectively.

NOTE 3 - INVESTMENT SECURITIES

     The amortized cost and fair value of investment securities are based on contractual maturity dates.  Actual maturities may differ from the contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to prepay obligations with or without penalty.  The amortized cost, approximate fair value, and expected maturities of investment securities are summarized as follows (tabular amounts in thousands):

     Securities classified as available-for-sale are recorded at fair market value.  Approximately 91% of the unrealized losses, or twenty-eight individual securities, consisted of securities in a continuous loss position for twelve months or more.  The Company has the ability and intent to hold these securities until such time as the value recovers or the securities mature.  The Company believes, based on industry analyst reports and credit ratings, that the deterioration in value is attributable to changes in market interest rates and not in the credit quality of the issuer and therefore, these losses are not considered other-than-temporary.

       Investment securities with an aggregate par value of $182,651,000 at December 31, 2007 and $167,829,000 at December 31, 2006 were pledged to secure public deposits and for other purposes.

Other Investments, at Cost - The Bank, as a member institution, is required to own certain stock investments in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta ("FHLB") and the Federal Reserve Bank.  The stock is generally pledged against any borrowings from these institutions (see Note 8).  No ready market exists for the stock and it has no quoted market value.  However, redemption of these stocks has historically been at par value.

NOTE 9 - INCOME TAXES, Continued

      The Company had analyzed the tax positions taken or expected to be taken in its tax returns and concluded it has no liability related to uncertain tax positions in accordance with FIN 48.

             The net deferred tax asset is included in other assets at December 31, 2007 and 2006.

      A portion of the change in net deferred taxes relates to the change in unrealized net gains and losses on securities available for sale.  The related 2007 tax liability of $1,429,000 and the 2006 deferred tax benefit of $461,000 have been recorded directly to stockholders' equity.  The balance of the change in net deferred taxes results from the current period deferred tax benefit.

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 accompanying consolidated balance sheets.  The contractual 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 contractual value of the Bank's off balance sheet financial instruments is as follows as of December 31, 2007 (amounts in thousands):




Commitments to extend credit

Standby letters of credit

 amount 

$   58,002

$    4,080

         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, 2007, the Bank was obligated under non-cancelable operating leases on land used for a branch office and a billboard contract that had initial or remaining terms of more than one year.  Future minimum payments under these agreements at December 31, 2007 were (tabular amounts in thousands):

      Lease payments under all operating leases charged to expense totaled $6,000 in 2007, $6,000 in 2006 and $6,000 in 2005.  The leases provide that the lessee pay property taxes, insurance and maintenance cost.

      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 Company's financial position.

NOTE 12 - RESTRICTION ON DIVIDENDS

         Payment of dividends is within the discretion of the Board of Directors, and 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, 2007, the Bank's retained earnings were $74,709,000.

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 have transactions with the Bank in the ordinary course of business.  Additional transactions may be expected to take place in the future.  Loans and commitments are made on comparable terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for other customers of the Bank, and do 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, were as follows (tabular amounts in thousands):

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 three percent of employee salary deferred and fifty percent of employee contributions in excess of three percent and up to five percent of salary deferred.  The Board of Directors may also make discretionary contributions to the Plan.  For the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, $712,000, $605,000 and $624,000, respectively, were charged to operations under the plan.

        Supplemental benefits are provided to certain key officers under The Conway National Bank Executive Supplemental Income Plan (ESI) and the Long-Term Deferred Compensation Plan (LTDC).  These plans are not qualified under the Internal Revenue Code.  The plans are unfunded.  However, certain benefits under the ESI Plan are informally and indirectly funded by insurance policies on the lives of the covered employees.

      The ESI plan provides a life insurance benefit on the life of the covered officer payable to the officer's beneficiary. The plan also provides a retirement stipend to certain officers.  For the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005, the Bank had $96,056, $84,283 and $61,129 in income and $111,256, ($30,198) and $64,089 of expense associated with this plan, respectively.  The negative expense noted for 2006 was the result of forfeiture of benefits from departing officers.  The LTDC plan provides cash awards to certain officers payable upon death, retirement, or separation.  The awards are made in dollar increments equivalent to the value of the Company's stock at the time of the award.  The Bank further maintains the value of awards in amounts equal to the future value of the Company' stock plus any cash dividends paid.  Such plans are commonly referred to as phantom stock plans.  For the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, $223,630, ($91,144) and $367,946, respectively, was charged to operations under the plan.  The negative expense noted for 2006 was the result of forfeiture of benefits from departing officers.

NOTE 15 - REGULATORY MATTERS

      The Company and the Bank are 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 Company and Bank.  Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices.  The Company and the Bank's capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

      Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets, and of Tier 1 capital to average assets.  Management believes, as of December 31, 2007, the Company and the Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

ITEM 9.  CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

None.

ITEM 9A.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

(a) Based on the evaluation required by 17 C.F.R. Section 240.13a-15(b) or 240.15d-15(b) of the Corporation's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in 17 C.F.R. Sections 240.13a-15(e) or 240.15d-15(e)), the Corporation's chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that such controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this annual report, were effective.

Internal Control over Financial Reporting

(a) MANAGEMENT'S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

     The management of CNB Corporation is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the company.  Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorized use or disposition, transactions are executed in accordance with appropriate management authorization and accounting records are reliable for the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

     Management has assessed the effectiveness of CNB Corporation's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007.  In making our assessment, management has utilized the framework published by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations ("COSO") of the Treadway Commission "Internal Control-Integrated Framework."  Based on our assessment, management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2007, internal control over financial reporting was effective.

     Elliott Davis, LLC, the independent registered public accounting firm that audited the Company's consolidated financial statements included in this report, has issued an attestation report on the Company's internal control over financial reporting, and a copy of Elliott Davis, LLC's report is included with this report.

(b) REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED
PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Report of Independent Registered Public accounting firm on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, is included in Item 8- Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, of this Form 10-K.

(c) There has been no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with management's assessment thereof that occurred during the Company's last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

PART III

ITEM 10.   DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OF THE REGISTRANT AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

The information set forth under the captions "Information about Nominees, Directors Whose Terms will Continue after the Annual Meeting of Shareholders and Executive Officers", "Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance" and "Governance Matters - -Committees of the Board of Directors - - Audit Committee" set forth in the Company's Proxy Statement filed in connection with the Company's 2008 Annual Meeting of the Shareholders (the "2008 Proxy Statement") is incorporated herein by reference.

Audit Committee Financial Expert

The Company's board of directors has determined that the Company does not have an "audit committee financial expert," as that term is defined by Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, serving on its audit committee.  The Company's audit committee is comprised of directors who are independent of the Company and its management.  After reviewing the experience and training of all of the Company's independent directors, the board of directors has concluded that no independent director currently meets the SEC's very demanding definition of "audit committee financial expert."  Therefore, it would be necessary to find a qualified individual willing to serve as both a director and member of the audit committee and have that person elected by the shareholders in order to have an "audit committee financial expert" serving on the Company's audit committee.  The Company's audit committee is, however, authorized to use consultants to provide financial accounting expertise in any instance where members of the committee believe such assistance would be useful.  Accordingly, the Company does not believe that it needs to have an "audit committee financial expert" on its audit committee.

Code of Ethics

The Company has adopted a Code of Ethics applicable to its principal executive officer, principal financial officer, and principal accounting officer.  The Company will provide a copy of the Code of Ethics to any person, without charge, upon request to: Corporate Secretary, CNB Corporation, 1400 Third Avenue, Conway, South Carolina 29526.

ITEM 11.   COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS AND EXE CUTIVE OFFICERS

The information set forth in the 2008 Proxy Statement under the caption "Compensation of Directors and Executive Officers" is incorporated herein by reference; provided, however, the information set forth under the caption "Compensation Committee Report" shall be deemed to be "furnished" and not "filed" and will not be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a result of being so furnished.

ITEM 12.   SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGMEENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

The information set forth in the 2008 Proxy Statement under the captions "Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners" and "Security Ownership of Management" is incorporated herein by reference.

The Company does not have any equity compensation plans pursuant to which securities may be issued.  Accordingly, no disclosure is required pursuant to Regulation S-K, Item 201(d).

ITEM 13.   CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

The information set forth in the 2008 Proxy Statement under the caption "Transactions with Related Persons" and "Governance Matters -- Director Independence" is incorporated herein by reference. The members of the Company's Audit, Governance (nominating and compensation) Committees are independent as defined in the Nasdaq Global Market Rules.

ITEM 14.  PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES

The information set forth in the 2008 Proxy Statement under the caption "Ratification of Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm - Fees Billed by Independent Auditors" and "Audit Committee Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-Audit Services of Independent Auditors" is incorporated herein by reference.
