SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE
July 31, 2006 (unaudited)
As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; to the extent applicable, distribution (12b-1) fees and/or shareholder services fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you to understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. It is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from February 1, 2006 to July 31, 2006.
Actual Expenses
The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you incurred over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses attributable to your investment during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. Thus, you should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate the actual ending account balance or your expenses for the period. Rather, these figures are required to be provided to enable you to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund with other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

(2) Cash Equivalents include any investments in money market mutual funds.
(3) Assets, other than investments in securities, less liabilities. See Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
(4) These tables depict the long-term credit-quality ratings assigned to the Fund’s portfolio holdings by Standard & Poor’s (S&P) and Moody’s Investors Service (Moody’s), each of which is a Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization (NRSRO). These credit-quality ratings are shown without regard to gradations within a given rating category. For example, securities rated “A-” have been included in the “A” rated category. Rated securities that have been prerefunded, but not rated again by the NRSRO, have been included in the “Not rated by…” category.
Rated securities include a security with an obligor and/or credit enhancer that has received a rating from a NRSRO with respect to a class of debt obligations that is comparable in priority and security with the security held by the Fund. Credit-quality ratings are an assessment of the risk that a security will default in payment and do not address other risks presented by the security. Please see the descriptions of credit-quality ratings in the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information.
Holdings that are rated only by a different NRSRO than the one identified have been included in the “Not rated by…” category. Of the portfolio’s total investments, 5.1% do not have long-term ratings by either of these NRSROs.

WESMARK FUNDS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
July 31, 2006 (unaudited)
(1) Organization
WesMark Funds (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust consists of five portfolios (individually referred to as the “Fund”, or collectively as the “Funds”) which are presented herein:
| Portfolio Name | | Diversification | | Investment Objective | |
|
| WesMark Small Company Growth Fund (“Small Company Growth Fund”) | | diversified | | to achieve capital appreciation | |
|
| WesMark Growth Fund (“Growth Fund”) | | diversified | | to achieve capital appreciation | |
|
| WesMark Balanced Fund (“Balanced Fund”) | | diversified | | to achieve capital appreciation and income | |
|
| WesMark Government Bond Fund (a) (“Government Bond Fund”) | | diversified | | to achieve high current income consistent with preservation of capital | |
|
| WesMark West Virginia Municipal Bond Fund (“West Virginia Municipal Bond Fund”) | | non-diversified | | to achieve current income which is exempt from federal income tax and income taxes imposed by the State of West Virginia | |
|
(a) On March 14, 2006, the Board of Trustees of the WesMark Funds approved changing the name of the WesMark Bond Fund to the WesMark Government Bond Fund.
The assets of each portfolio are segregated and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the portfolio in which shares are held.
(2) Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States of America.
Investment Valuation--Domestic and foreign equity securities are valued at the last sale price or official closing price reported in the market in which they are primarily traded (either a national securities exchange or the over-the-counter market), if available. If unavailable, the security is generally valued at the mean between the last closing bid and asked prices. With respect to valuation of foreign securities, trading in foreign cities may be completed at times which vary from the closing of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). Therefore, foreign securities are valued at the latest closing price on the exchange on which they are traded immediately prior to the closing of the NYSE. Foreign securities quoted in foreign currencies are translated in U.S. dollars at the foreign exchange rate in effect at 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the day the value of the foreign security is determined. The Fund generally values fixed income and short-term securities according to prices furnished by an independent pricing service, except that securities with remaining maturities of less than 60 days at the time of purchase may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair market value. For other fixed income securities, prices furnished by an independent pricing service are intended to be indicative of the mean between the bid and asked prices currently offered to institutional investors for the securities. Investments in other open-end regulated investment companies are valued at net asset value. Securities for which no market quotations or last sale prices are readily available or whose values have been affected by a significant event occurring between the close of their primary markets and the closing of the NYSE are valued at fair value as determined in accordance with procedures established by and under general supervision of the Board of Trustees (the “Trustees”).
Investment Income, Expenses and Distributions--Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions of net investment income if any, for the Small Company Growth Fund and Growth Fund are declared and paid quarterly. Distributions of net investment income for the Balanced Fund are declared and paid monthly, and distributions of net investment income for the Government Bond Fund and West Virginia Municipal Bond Fund are declared daily and paid monthly. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at fair value.
Premium and Discount Amortization/Paydown Gains and Losses--All premiums and discounts on fixed income securities are amortized/accreted for financial statement purposes. Gains and losses realized on principal payment of mortgage-backed securities (paydown gains and losses) are classified as part of investment income.
Federal Taxes--It is each Fund’s policy to comply with the Subchapter M provision of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of their income. Accordingly, no provisions for federal income tax are necessary.
Withholding taxes on foreign interest, dividends and capital gains have been provided for in accordance with the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.
On July 13, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (FIN 48). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken in the course of preparing the fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax benefits of positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the effective date. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FIN 48 and its impact in the financial statements has not yet been determined.
When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions--The Funds may engage in when-issued or delayed delivery transactions. The Funds record when-issued securities on the trade date and maintain security positions such that sufficient liquid assets will be available to make payment for the securities purchased. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis are marked to market daily and begin earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may occur on these transactions due to changes in market conditions or the failure of counterparties to perform under the contract.
Restricted Securities--Restricted securities are securities that either (a) cannot be offered for public sale without first being registered, or being able to take advantage of an exemption from registration, under the Securities Act of 1933, or (b) are subject to contractual restrictions on public sales. In some cases, when a security cannot be offered for public sale without first being registered, the issuer of the restricted security has agreed to register such securities for resale, at the issuer’s expense, either upon demand by the Fund or in connection with another registered offering of the securities. Many such restricted securities may be resold in the secondary market in transactions exempt from registration. Restricted securities may be determined to be liquid under criteria established by the Trustees. The Fund will not incur any registration costs upon such resales. The Fund’s restricted securities are valued at the price provided by dealers in the secondary market or, if no market prices are available, at the fair value as determined in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Trustees.
Use of Estimates--The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, expenses and revenues reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimated.
Other--Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on an identified cost basis.

(7) Concentration of Credit Risk
Since the West Virginia Municipal Bond Fund invests a substantial portion of its assets in issuers located in one state, it will be more susceptible to factors adversely affecting issuers of that state than would be a comparable tax-exempt mutual fund that invests nationally. In order to reduce the credit risk associated with such factors, at July 31, 2006, 47.4% of the securities in the portfolio of investments are backed by letters of credit or bond insurance of various financial institutions and financial guaranty assurance agencies. The percentage of investments insured by or supported (backed) by a letter of credit from any one institution or agency was 16.7% of total investments.
Additionally, the Funds may invest a portion of its assets in securities of companies that are deemed by the Funds’ management to be classified in similar business sectors. The economic developments within a particular sector may have an adverse effect on the ability of issuers to meet their obligations. Additionally, economic developments may have an effect on the liquidity and volatility of portfolio securities.
(8) Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
On April 11, 2006, the Audit Committee of the Fund’s Board of Trustees approved changing the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm to Tait, Weller & Baker LLP. The Fund’s previous independent registered public accounting firm, Deloitte & Touche LLP (D&T) declined to stand for re-election. The previous reports issued by D&T on the Fund’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2005 and January 31, 2006, contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the Fund’s fiscal years ended January 31, 2005 and January 31, 2006 (i) there were no disagreements with D&T on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of D&T, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with the reports on the financial statements for such years; and (ii) there were no reportable events of the kind described in Item 304(a) (1) (v) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
As indicated above, the Trust appointed Tait, Weller & Baker LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Fund’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2007. During the Fund’s fiscal years ended January 31, 2005 and January 31, 2006 and the interim period commencing February 1, 2006 and ending April 11, 2006, neither the Funds nor anyone on their behalf consulted Tait, Weller & Baker LLP on items which: (i) concerned the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Fund’s financial statements or (ii) concerned the subject of a disagreement (as defined in paragraph (a) (1) (iv) of Item 304 of Regulations S-K) or reportable events (as described in paragraph (a) (1) (v) of said Item 304).
BOARD REVIEW OF ADVISORY CONTRACT
As required by the 1940 Act, the WesMark Funds (“Funds”) Board has reviewed the Funds’ investment advisory contract. The Board’s decision to approve the contract reflects the exercise of its business judgment on whether to continue the existing arrangements. During its review of the contract, the Board considers many factors, among the most material of which are: the Funds’ investment objectives and long term performance; the Adviser’s management philosophy, personnel, and processes; the preferences and expectations of Fund shareholders and their relative sophistication; the continuing state of competition in the mutual fund industry; comparable fees for similar funds in the mutual fund industry; the range and quality of services provided to the Funds and its shareholders by the WesBanco organization in addition to investment advisory services; and a Fund’s relationship to other funds in the WesMark Family of Funds.
In assessing the Adviser’s performance of its obligations, the Board also considers whether there has occurred a circumstance or event that would constitute a reason for it to not renew an advisory contract. In this regard, the Board is mindful of the potential disruptions of the Funds’ operations and various risks, uncertainties and other effects that could occur as a result of a decision to terminate or not renew an advisory contract. In particular, the Board recognizes that most shareholders have invested in the Funds on the strength of the Adviser’ s industry standing and reputation and in the expectation that the Adviser will have a continuing role in providing advisory services to the Funds. Thus, the Board’s “selection” or approval of the Adviser must reflect the fact that it is the shareholders who have effectively selected the Adviser by virtue of having invested in the Funds.
The Board also considers the compensation and benefits received by the Adviser. This includes fees received for services provided to the Funds by other entities in the WesBanco organization and research services received by the Adviser from brokers that execute fund trades, as well as advisory fees. In this regard, the Board is aware that various courts have interpreted provisions of the 1940 Act and have indicated in their decisions that the following factors may be relevant to an Adviser’s fiduciary duty with respect to its receipt of compensation: the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser, including the performance of a Fund; the Adviser’s cost of providing the services; the extent to which the Adviser may realize “economies of scale” as a Fund grows larger; any indirect benefits that may accrue to the Adviser and its affiliates as a result of the Adviser’s relationship with a Fund; performance and expenses of comparable funds; and the extent to which the independent Board members are fully informed about all facts bearing on the Adviser’s service and fee. The Funds’ Board is aware of these factors and is guided by them in its review of the Funds’ advisory contract to the extent they are appropriate and relevant, as discussed further below.
The Board considers and weighs these circumstances, and is assisted in its deliberations by the advice of independent legal counsel. In this regard, the Board requests and receives a significant amount of detailed information about the Funds and the WesBanco organization. WesBanco provides much of this information at each regular meeting of the Board, and furnishes additional reports in connection with the particular meeting at which the Board’s formal review of the advisory contract occurs. In between regularly scheduled meetings, the Board may receive information on particular matters as the need arises. Thus, the Board’s evaluation of an advisory contract is informed by reports covering such matters as: the Adviser’s investment philosophy, personnel, and processes; a Fund’s short- and long-term performance (in absolute terms both on a gross basis and net of expenses, as well as in relationship to its particular investment program and certain competitor or “peer group” funds and/or other benchmarks, as appropriate), and comments on the reasons for performance; a Fund’s expenses (including the advisory fee itself and the overall expense structure of a Fund, both in absolute terms and relative to similar and/or competing funds, with due regard for contractual or voluntary expense limitations); the use and allocation of brokerage commissions derived from trading a Fund’s portfolio securities; the nature and extent of the advisory and other services provided to a Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates; compliance and audit reports concerning the Funds and the WesBanco companies that service them; and relevant developments in the mutual fund industry and how the Funds and/or WesBanco are responding to them. The criteria considered and the emphasis placed on relevant criteria change in recognition of changing circumstances in the mutual fund marketplace.
With respect to the Fund’s performance and expenses in particular, the Board has found the use of comparisons to other mutual funds with comparable investment programs to be particularly useful, given the high degree of competition in the mutual fund business. The Board focuses on comparisons with other similar mutual funds (rather than non-mutual fund products or services) because, simply put, they are more relevant. For example, other mutual funds are the products most like the Fund, they are readily available to Fund shareholders as alternative investment vehicles, and they are the type of investment vehicle already chosen by the Fund’s investors. The range of their fees and expenses therefore appears to be a generally reliable indication of what consumers have found to be reasonable in the precise marketplace in which the Fund competes. The Fund’s ability to deliver competitive performance when compared to its peer group may be a useful indicator of how the Adviser is executing on the Fund’s investment program, which would in turn assist the Board in reaching a conclusion that the nature, extent, and quality of the Adviser’s investment management services are such as to warrant continuation of the advisory contract. Because the Funds are the only advisory clients of the Adviser, the Board did not consider fees charged to other institutional accounts to be a relevant consideration in evaluating the advisory fees charged by the Adviser to the Funds.
For the one year period ended January 31, 2006, the performance of the WesMark Small Company Growth Fund and the WesMark Growth Fund was above the median of each such Fund’s relevant peer group. For the one year period ended January 31, 2006, the performance of the WesMark Balanced Fund, WesMark Government Bond Fund, (formerly WesMark Bond Fund), and the WesMark West Virginia Municipal Bond Fund was below the median of the relevant peer group. The Board also reviewed the Funds’ performance relevant to their respective peer groups for a three year period ended March 31, 2006. Each of the Funds was below the median of their respective relevant peer group. The Board discussed the Funds’ performance with the Adviser and recognized the efforts being undertaken by the Adviser. The Board will continue to monitor these efforts and the performance of the Funds.
The Board also receives financial information about WesBanco, including reports on the compensation and benefits WesBanco derives from its relationships with the Funds. These reports cover not only the fees under the advisory contracts, but also fees received by WesBanco’s subsidiaries for providing other services to the Funds under separate contracts (e.g., for serving as the Funds’ custodian). The reports also discuss any indirect benefit WesBanco may derive from its receipt of research services from brokers who execute fund trades. Although the Board considered the profitability of WesBanco on a fund-by-fund basis, in the Board’s view, the cost of performing advisory services on a fund-specific basis is both difficult to estimate satisfactorily and a relatively minor consideration in its overall evaluation. The Board therefore determined that the profitability analysis was of limited value.
During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2006, the investment advisory fee after waivers and expense reimbursements for the WesMark Growth Fund, WesMark Government Bond Fund, (formerly WesMark Bond Fund), and the WesMark West Virginia Municipal Bond were above the median for the relevant peer group. For the same period, the investment advisory fee after waivers and expense reimbursements for the WesMark Small Company Growth Fund and the WesMark Balanced Fund were below the median for the relevant peer group. The Board reviewed the fees and other expenses of the Funds with the Adviser and was satisfied that the overall expense structure of the Funds remained competitive. The Board will continue to monitor advisory fees and other expenses borne by the Funds. For the fiscal year ended January 31, 2006, the Board concluded that the nature, quality and scope of services provided the funds by the Adviser and its affiliates were satisfactory.
The Board also considered whether “economies of scale” may exist and whether the Funds benefit from any such economies. The Board noted that each of the Funds is of relatively small size relative to its peers and that the Adviser had voluntarily waived a portion of its advisory fee and/or reimbursed fund expenses in order to maintain the Funds’ competitive position. Under these circumstances, the Board concluded there were no meaningful “economies of scale” enjoyed by the adviser in managing the Funds.
The Board based its decision to renew the advisory contracts on the totality of the circumstances and relevant factors and with a view to past and future long-term considerations. Not all of the factors and considerations identified above are relevant to every Fund, nor does the Board consider any one of them to be determinative. With respect to the factors that are relevant, the Board’s decision to approve the contract reflects its determination that WesBanco’s performance and actions provide a satisfactory basis to support the decision to continue the existing arrangements. Because the totality of circumstances includes considering the relationship of each Fund to the WesBanco family of Funds, the Board does not approach consideration of every Fund’s advisory contract as if that were the only fund offered by the Adviser.
Mutual funds are not bank deposits or obligations, are not guaranteed by any bank, and are not insured or guaranteed by the U.S. government, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board, or any other government agency. Investment in mutual funds involves investment risk, including the possible loss of principal.
