Note 1 - Summary of SignificantAccounting Policies

The accounting and reporting policies of First West Virginia Bancorp, Inc. ( the “Company”) and its subsidiary were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, (“US GAAP”) and to general practices within the financial services industry. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management has identified the accounting policies described below as those that, due to the judgments, estimates and assumptions inherent in those policies, are critical to an understanding of the Company’s consolidated financial statements and management’s discussion and analysis. A summary of the significant accounting and reporting policies applied in the presentation of the accompanying financial statements follows.

Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation: First West Virginia Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) is a West Virginia Company. The Company provides a variety of banking services to individuals and businesses through the branch network of its affiliate bank (the “Bank”). The Bank operates nine full service branches located in Wheeling (3), Wellsburg, Moundsville, New Martinsville, Buckhannon, and Weston, West Virginia and Bellaire, Ohio. Primary deposit products consist of checking accounts, savings accounts, and certificates of deposit. Primary lending products consist of commercial and residential real estate loans, consumer loans, and business loans.

Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the financial statements of the parent and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Progressive Bank, N.A. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates: The preparation of 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, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to material change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses and the valuation of deferred tax assets.

Cash and Cash equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and amounts due from banks and federal funds sold.

Investment Securities: Investment securities are classified at the time of purchase, based on management’s intention and ability, as securities available for sale or held to maturity. Debt securities classified as held to maturity are stated at cost adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount which are computed using the interest method and recognized as adjustments of interest income. Certain other debt and equity securities have been classified as available for sale to serve principally as a source of liquidity. Unrealized holding gains and losses for available-for-sale securities are reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity, net of tax, until realized. Realized securities gains and losses are computed using the specific identification method. Interest and dividends on investment securities are recognized as income when earned.

While temporary changes in the market value of available-for-sale securities are not recognized in earnings, a decline in fair value below amortized cost deemed to be other-than-temporary results in an adjustment to the cost basis of the investment, with a corresponding loss charged against earnings. Management evaluates the investment securities for other-than-temporary declines in estimated fair value on a quarterly basis. This analysis requires management to consider various factors in order to determine if a decline in estimated fair value is temporary or other-than-temporary. These factors include duration and magnitude of the decline in value, the financial condition of the issuer, and the company’s ability and intent to continue holding the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value. At September 30, 2008, there were no investment securities identified by management to be other-than-temporarily impaired. If investments decline in fair value due to adverse changes in the financial markets, charges to income could occur in future periods.

Common stock of the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) and Federal Reserve Bank represents ownership interest in institutions that are wholly owned by other financial institutions. These equity securities are accounted for at cost and are classified with other assets.

Loans and Loans Held for Sale: Loans are generally reported at the principal balance outstanding, net of unearned income. Interest income on loans is accrued based on the principal outstanding. It is the Company’s policy to discontinue the accrual of interest when either the principal or interest is past due 90 days or more, unless the loan is both well secured and in the process of collection. The Company accounts for impaired loans in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 114 and No. 118, “Accounting for Creditors for Impairment of a Loan.” It is the Company’s policy not to recognize interest income on specific impaired loans unless the likelihood of future loss is remote. Interest payments received on such loans are applied as a reduction of the loan principal balance. Loan origination and commitment fees and certain direct loan origination costs are deferred and the net amount amortized over the contractual life of the related loans or commitments as an adjustment of the related loan’s yield. Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or estimated market value in the aggregate. There were no loans held for sale as of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.

The Company has entered into an agreement with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh (“FHLB”) under which the bank may sell conforming one-to-four family residential mortgage loans to the FHLB. The agreement provides for a maximum commitment of $5,000,000. Loans sold to the FHLB are sold with limited recourse or credit risk up to a maximum amount of $125,000 based upon utilization of the original commitment. The bank also maintains the servicing of these loans, for which it is paid a servicing fee. The total amount of loans sold under this agreement is $1,834,014 as of September 30, 2008 which are subject to recourse obligation or credit risk in the amount of $43,043. As of December 31, 2007 the loans sold under this agreement amounted to $1,981,262 and were subject to a recourse obligation or credit risk in the amount of $41,635. The amount of income recognized as of a result of this agreement was $6,102 and $7,121 for the nine month period ending September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Allowance for Loan Losses: The allowance for loan losses represents the amount which management estimates is adequate to provide for probable losses inherent in its loan portfolio. The allowance method is used in providing for loan losses. Accordingly, all loan losses are charged to the allowance, and all recoveries are credited to it. The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses that is charged to operations. The provision is based on management’s evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses which encompasses the overall risk characteristics of the various portfolio segments, past experience with losses, the impact of economic conditions on borrowers, and other relevant factors. The estimates used in determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, including the amounts and timing of future cash flows expected on impaired loans, are particularly susceptible to significant changes in the near term.

Mortgage loans secured by one-to-four family properties and all consumer loans are large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans and are measured for impairment collectively. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays, which are defined as 90 days or less, generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays on a case-by-case basis taking into consideration all circumstances concerning the loan, the credit worthiness and payment history of the borrower, the length of the payment delay, and the amount of shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed.

Impaired loans are commercial and commercial real estate loans for which it is probable the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The Company individually evaluates such loans for impairment and does not aggregate loans by major risk classifications. The definition of “impaired loans” is not the same as the definition of “nonaccrual loans,” although the two categories overlap. The Company may choose to place a loan on nonaccrual status due to payment delinquency or uncertain collectibility while not classifying the loan as impaired, provided the loan is not a commercial or commercial real estate classification. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status and collateral value. The amount of impairment for these types of loans is determined by the difference between the present value of the expected cash flows related to the loan, using the original interest rate, and its recorded value, or as a practical expedient in the case of collateralized loans, the difference between the fair value of the collateral and the recorded amount of the loans. When foreclosure is probable, impairment is measured based on the fair value of the collateral.

Individual loan reviews are based upon specific quantitative and qualitative criteria, including the size of the loan, loan quality ratings, value of collateral, repayment ability of borrowers, and historical experience factors. The historical experience factors utilized for individual loan reviews are based upon past loss experience, known trends in losses and delinquencies, the growth of loans in particular markets and industries, and known changes in economic conditions in the particular lending markets. Allowances for homogeneous loans (such as residential mortgage loans, personal loans, etc.) are evaluated based upon -historical loss experience, trends in losses and delinquencies, growth of loans in particular markets, and known changes in economic conditions in each lending market. There can be no assurance the allowance for loan losses will be adequate to cover all losses, but management believes the allowance for loan losses in the amount of $1,947,468 at September 30, 2008, was adequate to provide for probable losses from existing loans based on information currently available. While management uses available information to provide for loan losses, the ultimate collectibility of a substantial portion of the loan portfolio, and the need for future additions to the allowance, will be based on changes in economic conditions and other relevant factors. As such, an adverse change in economic activity could reduce cash flows for both commercial and individual borrowers, which would likely cause the Company to experience increases in problem assets, delinquencies and losses on loans.

Premises and Equipment: Premises and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Provisions for depreciation and amortization are computed generally using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. When units of property are disposed of, the premises and equipment accounts are relieved of the cost and the accumulated depreciation related to such units. Any resulting gains or losses are credited to or charged against income. Cost of repairs and maintenance is charged to expense as incurred. Additions and improvements are capitalized at cost.

Other Real Estate Owned: Other real estate owned are carried at the lower of cost or their estimated current fair value, less estimated costs to sell and are included in other assets. Other real estate owned consist primarily of properties acquired through, or in lieu of foreclosures. Any subsequent declines in fair value, and gains or losses on the disposition of these assets are credited to or charged against income.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets: Goodwill resulted from the Company’s purchase of a less-than-whole financial institution (the “branch”). The goodwill value of $1.6 million is supported ultimately by revenue that is driven by the volume of business transacted. A decline in earnings as a result of a lack of growth or the inability to deliver cost effective services over sustained periods can lead to impairment of goodwill that could adversely impact earnings in future periods.

An identifiable intangible asset resulted from the purchase of the core deposits of another financial institution in 2001 and, as such, are amortized into noninterest expense on the straight-line basis over the period the Company expects to benefit from such assets (7 years). The Company recognized amortization expense of $-0- and $22,188 in the three month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007. The unamortized balance from the purchase of these core deposit intangible assets is $-0- and $14,792 at September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. While management feels the assumptions and variables used to value the acquisition were reasonable, the use of different, but still reasonable, assumptions could produce different results.

Goodwill and other intangibles are periodically reviewed for impairment. No impairment losses were recognized. Additionally, future events could cause management to conclude that impairment indicators exist and that the goodwill is impaired, which would result in the Company recording an impairment loss. Any resulting impairment loss could have a material, adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Bank-owned Life Insurance Bank owned life insurance consists of investments in life insurance policies on executive officers and other members of the bank’s management. The policies are carried at their net cash surrender value. Changes in the policy value are recorded as an adjustment to the carrying value with the corresponding amount recognized as non-interest income or expense. Earnings on these policies are based on the net earnings on the cash surrender value of the policies. The net cash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance was $3,524,385 and $3,429,560 at September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. The face value of the bank-owned life insurance at September 30, 2008 was approximately $9.3 million. An agreement has been executed with all officers whereby a $40,000 death benefit is payable upon the participant’s death while employed by the Company to their designated beneficiary.

Income Taxes: The Company and its subsidiary file a consolidated federal income tax return. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are reflected at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes. Deferred income tax expenses or benefits are based on the changes in the deferred tax asset or liability from period to period.

Advertising Costs: Advertising costs are expensed as the costs are incurred. Advertising expenses amounted to $20,569 and $36,839 for the three month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. For the nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 advertising expenses amounted to $62,307 and $136,531, respectively.

Earnings Per Common Share: Earnings per common share are calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. The Company has no securities which would be considered potential common stock.

Comprehensive Income:

The Company is required to present comprehensive income in a full set of general-purpose financial statements for all periods presented. The following represents comprehensive income for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 and September 30, 2007. Other comprehensive income comprises unrealized holding gains (losses) on the available-for-sale securities portfolio. The Company has elected to report the effects of other comprehensive income as part of the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity.

The following table represents other comprehensive income before tax and net of tax:

Fair Value Measurements:In September 2006, the FASB issued FASB No. 157,Fair Value Measurements, to provide consistency and comparability in determining fair value measurements and to provide for expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. The definition of fair value maintains the exchange price notion in earlier definitions of fair value but focuses on the exit price of the asset or liability. The exit price is the price that would be received to sell the asset or paid to transfer the liability adjusted for certain inherent risks and restrictions. Expanded disclosures are also required about the use of fair value to measure assets and liabilities.

As required by FASB No. 157, each financial asset and liability must be identified as having been valued according to specified level of input, 1, 2 or 3. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy, within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls, has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset.

As of September 30, 2008, the Company did not have any assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. The measurement of fair value should be consistent with one of the following valuation techniques: market approach, income approach, and/or cost approach. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities (including a business). For example, valuation techniques consistent with the market approach often use market multiples derived from a set of comparables. Multiples might lie in ranges with a different multiple for each comparable. The selection of where within the range the appropriate multiple falls requires judgment, considering factors specific to the measurement (qualitative and quantitative). Valuation techniques consistent with the market approach include matrix pricing. Matrix pricing is a mathematical technique used principally to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities, but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities. As of September 30, 2008, all of the financial assets measured at fair value utilized the market approach.

The following table presents the assets and liabilities reported on the consolidated statements of financial condition at their fair value as of September 30, 2008 by level within the fair value hierarchy. As required by SFAS No. 157, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

NOTE 2 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In December 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 141 (revised 2007),Business Combinations (“FAS 141(R)), which establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in an acquiree, including the recognition and measurement of goodwill acquired in a business combination. FAS No. 141^®) is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

In September 2006, the FASB issued FAS No. 157,Fair Value Measurements, which provides enhanced guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. The standard applies whenever other standards require or permit assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. The Standard does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. FAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. In February 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. 157-1,Application of FASB Statement No. 157 to FASB Statement No. 13 and Other Accounting Pronouncements That Address Fair Value Measurements for Purposes of Lease Classification or Measurement under Statement 13, which removed leasing transactions accounted for under FAS No. 13 and related guidance from the scope of FAS No. 157. Also in February 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No.157-2,Partial Deferral of the Effective Date of Statement 157, which deferred the effective date of FAS No. 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

In September 2006, the FASB issued FAS No. 158,Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Post Retirement Plans, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132^®). This Statement requires that employers measure plan assets and obligations as of the balance sheet date. This requirement is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. The other provisions of the Statement were effective as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006, for public companies. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

In February 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 159,The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115, which provides all entities with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The objective of the FAS No. 159 is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply the complex provisions of hedge accounting. FAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007 provided the entity also elects to apply the provisions of FAS No. 157,Fair Value Measurements. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

In December 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 160,Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of ARB No. 51. FAS No. 160 amends ARB No. 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary, which is sometimes referred to as minority interest, is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. Among other requirements, this statement requires consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the noncontrolling interest. It also requires disclosure, on the face of the consolidated income statement, of the amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest. FAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

NOTE 2 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (CONTINUED)

In March 2008, the FASB issued FAS No. 161,Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, to require enhanced disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities. The new standard has revised financial reporting for derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring more transparency about how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under FAS No. 133,Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities; and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. FAS No. 161 requires disclosure of the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular format. It also requires entities to provide more information about their liquidity by requiring disclosure of derivative features that are credit risk-related. Further, it requires cross-referencing within footnotes to enable financial statement users to locate important information about derivative instruments. FAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encourage. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

In September 2006, the FASB reached consensus on the guidance provided by Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 06-4 (“EITF 06-4”),Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements. The guidance is applicable to endorsement split-dollar life insurance arrangements, whereby the employer owns and controls the insurance policy, that are associated with a postretirement benefit. EITF 06-4 requires that for a split-dollar life insurance arrangement within the scope of the Issue, an employer should recognize a liability for future benefits in accordance with FAS No. 106 (if, in substance, a postretirement benefit plan exists) or Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 12 (if the arrangement is, in substance, an individual deferred compensation contract) based on the substantive agreement with the employee. EITF 06-4 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. The adoption of this EITF did not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

In March 2007, the FASB ratified Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 06-10 (“EITF 06-10”),Accounting for Collateral Assignment Split-Dollar Life Insurance Agreements. EITF 06-10 provides guidance for determining a liability for the postretirement benefit obligation as well as recognition and measurement of the associated asset on the basis of the terms of the collateral assignment agreement. EITF 06-10 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. The adoption of this EITF did not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

In June 2007, the FASB ratified Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 06-11 (“EITF 06-11”),Accounting for Income Tax Benefits of Dividends on Share-Based Payment Awards. EITF 06-11 applies to share-based payment arrangements with dividend protection features that entitle employees to receive (a) dividends on equity-classified nonvested shares, (b) dividend equivalents on equity-classified nonvested share units, or (c) payments equal to the dividends paid on the underlying shares while an equity-classified share option is outstanding, when those dividends or dividend equivalents are charged to retained earnings under FAS No. 123R,Share-Based Payment, and result in an income tax deduction for the employer. A consensus was reached that a realized income tax benefit from dividends or dividend equivalents that are charged to retained earnings and are paid to employees for equity-classified nonvested equity shares, nonvested equity share units, and outstanding equity share options should be recognized as an increase in additional paid-in capital. EITF 06-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this EITF did not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

In May 2008, the FASB issued FAS No. 162,The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. FAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (the GAAP hierarchy). FAS No. 162 will become effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411,The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The Company does not expect the adoption of FAS No. 162 to have a material effect on its results of operations and financial position.

In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 142-3,Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets(“FSP 142-3”). FSP 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing assumptions about renewal or extension used in estimating the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under FAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. This standard is intended to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under FAS No. 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under FAS No. 141R and other GAAP. FSP 142-3 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The measurement provisions of this standard will apply only to intangible assets of the Company acquired after the effective date.

In June 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. EITF 03-6-1,Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities, to clarify that instruments granted in share-based payment transactions can be participating securities prior to the requisite service having been rendered. A basic principle of the FSP is that unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and are to be included in the computation of EPS pursuant to the two-class method. The provisions of this FSP are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those years. All prior-period EPS data presented (including interim financial statements, summaries of earnings, and selected financial data) are required to be adjusted retrospectively to conform with the provisions of the FSP. The adoption of this FSP is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of the Financial Condition and Results of Holding Company Operations

Forward-Looking Information: Certain information contained in this report, which are not historical facts, may be forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. These statements are subject to important factors that could cause action results to differ materially from those contemplated by such statements, including without limitation, the effect of changing economic conditions, changes in interest rates, changes in lending activities, changes in state and federal regulations, and other external factors which may materially impact the Company’s operational and financial performance.

Critical Accounting Policies: The Company’s accounting policies are integral to understanding the results reported. The accounting policies are described in detail in Note 1 of the Consolidated Financial Statements. Our most complex accounting policies require management’s judgment to ascertain the valuation of assets, liabilities, commitments and contingencies. Detailed policies and control procedures have been established and are intended to ensure valuation methods are well controlled and applied consistently from period to period. In addition, the policies and procedures are intended to ensure that the process for changing methodologies occurs in an appropriate manner. The following is a brief description of our current accounting policies involving significant management valuation judgments.

Other Than Temporary Impairment of Equity Securities: Equity securities are evaluated periodically to determine whether a decline in their value is other than temporary. Management utilizes criteria such as the magnitude and duration of the decline, in addition to the reasons underlying the decline, to determine whether the loss in value is other than temporary. The term “other than temporary” is not intended to indicate that the decline is permanent. It indicates that the prospects for a near term recovery of value are not necessarily favorable, or that there is a lack of evidence to support fair values equal to, or greater than, the carrying value of the investment. Once a decline in value is determined to be other than temporary, the value of the security is reduced and a corresponding charge to earnings is recognized.

Allowance for Loan Losses: Arriving at an appropriate level of allowance for loan losses involves a high degree of judgment. The Company’s allowance for loan losses provides for probable losses based upon evaluations of known, and inherent risks in the loan portfolio. Management uses historical information to assess the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses as well as the prevailing business environment; as it is affected by changing economic conditions and various external factors, which may impact the portfolio in ways currently unforeseen. The allowance is increased by provisions for loan losses and by recoveries of loans previously charged-off and reduced by loans charged-off. For a full discussion of the Company’s methodology of assessing the adequacy of the reserve for loan losses, refer to Note 1 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets: As discussed in Note 1 of the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company must assess goodwill and other intangible assets each year for impairment. This assessment involves estimating cash flows for future periods. If the future cash flows were less than the recorded goodwill and other intangible assets balances, we would be required to take a charge against earnings to write down the assets to the lower value.

Deferred Tax Assets: The Company uses an estimate of future earnings to support its position that the benefit of the deferred tax assets will be realized. If future income should prove non-existent or less than the amount of the deferred tax assets within the tax years to which they may be applied, the asset may not be realized and our net income will be reduced. The deferred tax assets are described further in Note 1 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

OVERVIEW

The Company reported net income of $1,669,463 or $1.09 per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to $1,501,031 or $.98 per share for the same period during 2007. The increase in net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to the same period in 2007 of $168,432 or 11.2% was primarily the result of the increases in net interest income and noninterest income combined with the decrease in noninterest expenses and the increase in the provision for loan losses offset in part by the increase in income tax expense. As compared to the same period in the prior year, net interest income increased $15,139 or .2%, primarily due to the increase in the income earned on investment securities and other interest income, offset in part by an increase in the interest expense paid on interest bearing liabilities combined with the decline in the interest and fees earned on loans. Noninterest income increased $142,654 or 14.2% primarily due to the change in the gains (losses) on sales of investment securities combined with the increase in other operating income, offset in part by the decrease in service charges and other fee income. Noninterest expenses declined $218,965 or 4.0% during the nine month period ended September 30, 2008 as compared to the same period in 2007 due to the decreases in salary and employee benefits expense and in other operating expenses, offset in part by a increase in occupancy expenses. The ROA was .87% for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to .79% for the same period of the prior year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to September 30, 2007, the ROE was 8.20% and 7.69%, respectively.

For the third quarter of 2008, net income was $521,905 or $.34 per share as compared to $579,613 or $.38 per share for the same period in 2007. The decrease in earnings was primarily due to decreases in net interest income and noninterest income, offset in part by decreases in noninterest expenses and in income taxes and the increase in the provision for loan losses. Noninterest expenses were reduced $52,585 or 2.9% during the three month period ended September 30, 2008 as compared to the same period in 2007 primarily due to the decreases in salary and employee benefits expense and other operating expenses, offset in part by the increase in occupancy expenses. Net interest income decreased $19,524 or 1.0% primarily due to the decrease in the interest earned on loans, offset in part by an increase in the interest earned on investment securities and the decrease in the interest paid on interest bearing liabilities. The decline in noninterest income was primarily due to the decrease in service charges and other fee income combined with change in the gains (losses) on sales of investment securities, offset in part by the increase in other operating income. The ROA was .79% for the three months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to .91% for the same period of the prior year. For the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to September 30, 2007, the ROE was 7.56% and 8.76%, respectively.

EARNINGS ANALYSIS - For the nine months ended September 30, 2008

Net Interest Income

Net interest income, which is the primary source of earnings for the Company, is the difference between interest earned on loans and investments and interest paid on deposits and other liabilities. Changes in the volume and mix of earning assets and interest bearing liabilities combined with changes in market rates of interest greatly effect net interest income. Table Two presents the average balance sheets and an interest rate analysis for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 and the year ended December 31, 2007.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, net interest income was $6,198,500, an increase of $15,139 or .2%, from the same period in 2007. Net interest income rose primarily due to the increase in average volume of earning assets offset in part by the decline in the taxable equivalent yield on earning assets. The average earning assets increased approximately $4.3 million or 1.8% from September 30, 2007 to 2008. The taxable equivalent net yield on earning assets decreased from 3.88% at September 30, 2007 to 3.80% at September 30, 2008.

Interest income on investment securities during the first nine months of 2008 increased $172,149 or 4.5% as compared to the same period of the prior year. The increase in interest income on investment securities during the first nine months of 2008 was primarily due to the rise in the yields earned which was partially offset by a decline in the average volume. The taxable equivalent yield on investment securities rose 32 basis points in 2008, from 5.10% at December 31, 2007 to 5.42% at September 30, 2008 and increased 32 basis points from September 30, 2007. The average volume of investment securities have decreased approximately $2.8 million or 2.6% since September 30, 2007.

Interest and fees on loans decreased $180,417 or 2.9%, from the same period in 2007 due to the decline in the average yield on loans, offset in part by the increase in the average loan volume. The taxable equivalent yield on loans fell 24 basis points in 2008 from 7.20% at December 31, 2007 to 6.96% at September 30, 2008 and fell 22 basis points from September 30, 2007. The average loan volume fell approximately $.1 million or .1% since September 30, 2007.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, interest expense decreased $52,291 or 1.3% as compared to the same period in 2007. The decline in the yield paid on interest bearing liabilities, offset in part by the increase in the average volume primarily contributed to the decrease in interest expense during the nine month period ended September 30, 2008. The average yield paid on interest bearing liabilities fell 9 basis points from 2.69% at December 31, 2007 to 2.60% at September 30, 2008.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income increased $142,654 or 14.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to same period of the prior year. The increase in noninterest income was primarily due to the change in the net gains (losses) on sales of investment securities combined with the increase in other operating income, partially offset by a decline in service charges and other fee income.

The net gains (losses) on investment securities increased $161,870 or 311.5% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008 as compared to the same period in 2007. The increase in net gains (losses) on sales of investment securities was primarily attributable to sales recorded by the Company and its subsidiary bank. The Company’s subsidiary bank sold approximately $6.9 million of investment securities during the first quarter of 2008 to take advantage of reinvestment opportunities within the current market interest rate environment. A net gain was recorded related to those sales of investment securities and amounted to $112,713. During the first quarter of 2007, the Company’s subsidiary bank sold approximately $4.2 million of lower yielding taxable investment securities to purchase higher yielding taxable investment securities to improve the overall long-term average yield. A loss was incurred related to those sales of investment securities and amounted to $54,673. The Company elected to take the loss in the short-term in order to take advantage of the higher yields offered at the time these investment purchases were made as well as improving the long-term earnings. The Company accounted for securities gains of $114,687 and securities losses of $4,778 during the nine month period ended September 30, 2008 and securities gains of $6,904 and securities losses of $58,865 during the nine month period ended September 30, 2007.

EARNINGS ANALYSIS - For the nine months ended September 30, 2008 (Continued)

Other operating income represents fees from safe deposit box rentals, sales of checkbooks, sales of cashiers’ checks and money orders, utility collections, ATM charges and card fees, home equity credit line fees, credit life commissions, credit card fees and commissions and various other charges and fees related to normal customer banking relationships. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2008, other operating income increased $53,790 or 14.6% compared to the same period in 2007. The increase in other operating income during the nine month period ended September 30, 2008 as compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to increases in ATM fees, credit card fees, filing fee income and an increase in the earnings related to the cash surrender value of the bank owned life insurance on its key officers, offset in part by declines in safe deposit box rents, utility bill and collection fees, checkbook sales and credit life commissions and other miscellaneous income.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense decreased $218,965 or 4.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to same period of the prior year. The decrease in noninterest expense was primarily due to decreases in salary and employee benefits expenses and other operating expenses, offset in part by an increase in occupancy expenses.

Salary and employee benefits decreased $212,344 or 7.2% during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 over the same period in 2007. Salary and employee benefit expense in 2008 compared to 2007 decreased primarily as a result of the decline in salary expenses combined with the reduction in employee benefits expense.

Other operating expense decreased $99,354, or 6.0%, compared to the same period of the prior year. The decline in other operating expenses was attributable primarily to a reduction in directors’ fees, advertising expenses, postage and transportation expenses, service expenses, other expense, and regulatory assessments, offset in part by increases in stationery and supplies expenses and other taxes.

Other operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30 included the following:

Unaudited	2008		2007
Directors’ fees	$	97,400	$	99,700
Stationery and supplies		160,678		104,894
Regulatory assessment and deposit insurance		79,636		80,762

Other		583,888		617,403
Total	$	1,569,836	$	1,669,190

Net occupancy expenses of premises increased $92,733 or 11.2% during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the same period in 2007. The increase in furniture and fixture and building depreciation expenses and the increase in expenses for other real estate owned property, offset in part by the reduction in lease expenses due to the closure of the subsidiary bank’s supermarket branch office contributed to the increase in occupancy expenses in 2008 as compared to 2007.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008 was $455,939, increasing 31.2% compared to the same period in 2007. Income tax expense increased primarily due to the increase in pre-taxable income of $276,758, offset in part by the decrease in tax-exempt income during the first nine months of 2008 over the same period in 2007. Components of the income tax expense for September 30, 2008 were $368,418 for federal taxes and $87,521 for West Virginia corporate net income taxes. Federal income tax rates and West Virginia corporate net income tax rates remain consistent at 34% and 9%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 and for the year ended December 31, 2007.

EARNINGS ANALYSIS - For the three months ended September 30, 2008

Net Interest Income

For the three months ended September 30, 2008, net interest income was $2,036,993, decreasing $19,524 or 1.0%, from the same period in 2007. The decrease in net interest income was primarily due to the decrease in the interest earned on loans, offset in part by the increase in the interest earned on investment securities and the decrease in the interest paid on interest bearing liabilities. The taxable equivalent net yield on earnings assets decreased from 3.84% at September 30, 2007 to 3.71% at September 30, 2008. Table Three presents the average balance sheets and an interest rate analysis for three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007.

Interest and fees on loans decreased $157,104 or 7.5% for the three month period ended September 30, 2008 as compared to the same period in 2007 due to the decline in the average yield on loans. The taxable equivalent yield on loans fell 40 basis points, to 6.80% at September 30, 2008 from 7.20% at December 31, 2007 and decreased 48 basis points from September 30, 2007.

Interest income on investment securities increased $118,663 or 9.5% during the third quarter of 2008 compared to the same period of the prior year. The increase in interest income on investment securities was primarily due to the rise in the average yield earned. The taxable equivalent yield earned on investment securities rose 34 basis points, to 5.41% for the three months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to 5.07% for the same period in 2007.

Interest expense paid on deposit liabilities fell $67,890 or 4.9% during the three months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to the same period in 2007. The decline in interest expense was primarily due to decreases in the average yield paid on interest bearing liabilities, which were offset in part by an increase in average balances. The average yield paid on interest bearing liabilities was down 20 basis points, from 2.74% at September 30, 2007 to 2.54% at September 30, 2008. The average volume of interest bearing liabilities rose approximately $5.8 million or 2.8%, from September 30, 2007 to September 30, 2008 primarily due to an increase in Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings and in savings deposits and interest bearing deposit balances, offset in part by the decline in the balances maintained in certificate of deposit accounts and repurchase agreements.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income decreased $16,124 or 4.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to same period of the prior year. The decrease in noninterest income was primarily due to the decreases in service charges and other fee income and the change in the net gains (losses) on sales of investment securities, offset in part by the increase in other operating income.

Service charges decreased $35,883 during the three months ended September 30, 2008, down 15.1%, from the same period in 2007. The decline in service charges and other fee income was primarily due to decreases in overdraft fees, service fees assessed on deposit accounts.

The Company accounted for securities gains of $175 and securities losses of $2,256 during the three month period ended September 30, 2008 and securities gains of $333 and securities losses of $938 during the same period in 2007.

For the third quarter of 2008, other operating income increased $21,235 or 16.0% as compared to same period of the prior year. The increase in other operating income during the three month period ended September 30, 2008 as compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to increases in ATM fees, credit card fees, filing fee income, and an increase in earnings related to the cash surrender value of the bank owned life insurance on its key officers, offset in part by declines in sales of checkbooks, utility bill and collection fees and other miscellaneous income.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense decreased $52,585 or 2.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to same period of the prior year. The decrease in noninterest expense was primarily due to decreases in salary and employee benefits and in other operating expenses, offset in part by an increases in occupancy expenses of premises.

Salary and employee benefits decreased $60,513 or 6.3% during the three months ended September 30, 2008 over the same period in 2007. The decrease in salary and employee benefit expense in 2008 compared to 2007 was primarily due to the decline in salary expenses combined with the reduction in employee benefits expenses.

Other operating expense decreased $35,246, or 6.3%, compared to the same period of the prior year. The decrease in other operating expenses during the three month period ended September 30, 2008 as compared to 2007 was attributable primarily due to the decreases in director fees, advertising expenses, postage and transportation expenses, service expense, and in other expenses, which were offset in part by increases in stationery and supplies expenses, regulatory assessments, and other taxes,

Net occupancy expenses of premises increased $43,174 or 16.3% during the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the same period in 2007. The increase in occupancy expenses was primarily due to increases in furniture and fixture depreciation expenses and maintenance expenses and the increase in expenses for other real estate owned property, offset in part by the reduction in banking premises expenses.

Balance Sheet Analysis

Investments

Investment securities increased approximately $.9 million or .8% from December 31, 2007 to September 30, 2008. The investment portfolio is managed to attempt to achieve an optimum mix of asset quality, liquidity and maximum yield on investment. The investment portfolio consists of U.S. Treasury securities, U.S. Government agency and corporation securities, obligations of states and political subdivisions, mortgage-backed securities and equity securities. Taxable securities comprised 83.3% of total securities at September 30, 2008, as compared to 79.5% at December 31, 2007. Other than the normal risks inherent in purchasing U.S. Treasury securities, U.S. Government agency and corporation securities, and obligations of states and political subdivisions, i.e., interest rate risk, management has no knowledge of other market or credit risk involved in these investments. The Company does not have any high risk hybrid/derivative instruments.

Investment securities that are classified available for sale are available for sale at any time based upon management’s assessment of changes in economic or financial market conditions. These securities are carried at fair value and the unrealized holding gains and losses, net of taxes, are reflected as a separate component of stockholder’s equity until realized. As the investment portfolio consists primarily of fixed rate debt securities, changes in the market rates of interest will effect the carrying value of securities available for sale, adjusted upward or downward under the requirements of FAS 115 and represent temporary adjustments in values. The carrying value of securities available for sale was below book value by $741,175 at September 30, 2008 and was above book value by $598,473 at December 31, 2007, respectively. The fair value of securities classified as held to maturity was above book value by $6,097 and $11,668 at September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.

The Company’s investment securities portfolio contains unrealized losses of direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury and U.S. Government agency securities, including mortgage-related instruments issued or backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government or are generally viewed as having the implied guarantee of the U.S. government, and debt obligations of a U.S. state or political subdivision.

On a monthly basis, the Company evaluates the severity and duration of impairment for its investment securities portfolio unless the company has the ability to hold the security to maturity without incurring a loss. Generally, impairment is considered other than temporary when an investment security has sustained a decline in market value of ten percent or more for a period of six months. The Company has concluded that any impairment of its investment securities portfolio is not other than temporary but is the result of interest rate changes that are not expected to result in the noncollection of principal and interest during the period. There are 90 positions that are temporarily impaired at September 30, 2008.

Table Six - Maturity distribution of Investment Portfolio

The maturity distribution using book value including accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums and approximate yield of investment securities at September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 are presented in the following table. Tax equivalent yield basis was used on tax exempt obligations. Approximate yield was calculated using a weighted average of yield to maturities. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

Loans

Loans represent the largest asset on the Company’s balance sheet. Total loans, net of unearned income, decreased $.5 million or .4% from December 31, 2007 to September 30, 2008. The decrease in total loans during the first nine months of 2008 was primarily due to decreases in residential real estate loans, which decreased approximately $2,587,000, offset by increases in commercial loans, installment loans and in other loans which increased approximately $979,000, $1,023,000 and $63,000, respectively. The decline in residential real estate loans was primarily due to the decreased demand for closed end loans secured by one to four family residential properties. The volume of loans has been relatively flat since year end.

Real estate residential loans which include real estate construction, real estate farmland, and real estate residential loans comprised thirty-six percent (36%) of the loan portfolio. Commercial loans which include real estate secured by non-farm, non-residential and commercial and industrial loans comprised forty-three percent (43%) of the loan portfolio. Installment loans comprised eleven percent (11%) of the loan portfolio. Other loans which include non-rated industrial development obligations, direct financing leases and other loans comprised ten percent (10%) of the loan portfolio. The changes in the composition of the loan portfolio since December 31, 2007 were a 2% increase in commercial loans and a 2% decrease in real estate residential loans.

Total	$	4,127	$	9,232	$	50,618	$	5,163	$	7,781	$	50,257

Non-performing assets include non-accrual loans on which the collectibility of the full amount of interest is uncertain; loans which have been renegotiated to provide for a reduction or deferral of interest on principal because of a deterioration in the financial position of the borrower; loans past due ninety days or more as to principal or interest; and other real estate owned. A summary of nonperforming assets is presented in Table Nine.

Total non-performing loans were $3,268,000 at September 30, 2008 as compared to $2,463,000 at December 31, 2007. The increase in non-performing loans was primarily due to an increase in non-accrual loans. Loans are placed in non-accrual when the principal or interest is past due 90 days or more, unless the loan is both well secured and in the process of collection. Non-accrual loans were $3,173,000 or 2.6% of total loans outstanding as of September 30, 2008, as compared to $2,437,000 or 2.0% of total loans at December 31, 2007. Non-accrual loans increased during the first nine months of 2008 primarily due to the addition of six commercial loans, four non-farm-non residential real estate loans, and two residential real estate loans. Approximately $986,000 of the new loans added relate to one commercial customer. Management continues to monitor the nonperforming assets to ensure against deterioration in collateral values.

Total non-performing assets	$	3,268		$	2,463
Total non-performing assets to total loans and other real estate		2.73	%		2.02	%

Generally, all banks recognize interest income on the accrual basis, except for certain loans which are placed on a non-accrual status. Loans are placed on a non-accrual status, when in the opinion of management doubt exists as to its collectibility. In accordance with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency Policy, banks may not accrue interest on any loan which either the principal or interest is past due 90 days or more unless the loan is both well secured and in the process of collection. The amount of interest income that would have been recognized had the loans performed in accordance with their original terms was approximately $152,400, $108,800 and $156,500 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 and for the year ended December 31, 2007, respectively.

Table Ten - Analysis of Allowance for Loan Losses

The following table presents a summary of loans charged off and recoveries of loans previously charged off by type of loan.

Ratio of the allowance for loan losses to loans outstanding for the period		1.61	%		1.76	%		1.68	%

The additions to the allowance for loan losses are based on management’s evaluation of characteristics of the loan portfolio, current and anticipated economic conditions, past loan experiences, net loans charged-off, specific problem loans and delinquencies, and other factors.

Allowance for Loan Losses

In all lending activities there is an inherent risk that borrowers will be unable to repay their obligations. The Company maintains an allowance for loan losses to absorb probable loan losses. The Company has historically maintained the allowance for loan losses at a level greater than actual charge-offs. Although a subjective evaluation is determined by management, the Company believes it has appropriately assessed the risk of loans in the loan portfolio and has provided for an allowance which is adequate based on that assessment. Because the allowance is an estimate, any change in the economic conditions of the Company’s market area could result in new estimates which could affect the Company’s earnings. Management monitors the quality of the loan portfolio through reviews of past due loans and all significant loans which are considered to be potential problem loans on a monthly basis. The internal loan review function provides for an independent review of commercial, real estate, and installment loans in order to measure the asset quality of the portfolio. Management’s review of the loan portfolio has not indicated any material loans, not disclosed in the accompanying tables and discussions which are known to have possible credit problems that cause management to have serious doubts as to the ability of each borrower to comply with their present loan repayment terms.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of the Financial Condition and Results of Holding Company Operations

Allowance for Loan Losses (continued)

The allowance for loan losses decreased $95,529 or 4.7% since December 31, 2007. The allowance for loan losses represented 1.6% and 1.7% of outstanding loans as of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. Net loan charge-offs amounted to $96,000 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008, compared to loan charge-offs of $87,000 for the same period in 2007. There was no provision made to the allowance for loan losses during the nine month period ended September 30, 2008. The credit quality of the loan portfolio combined with the recent level of net charge-offs and nonperforming assets continue to be considered in the calculation of the provision for loan losses. The Company has allocated the allowance for possible loan losses to specific portfolio segments based upon historical net charge-off experience, changes in the level of nonperforming assets, local economic conditions and management’s experience as presented in Table Eleven.

Table Eleven - Allocation of allowance for possible loan losses

The following table presents an allocation of the allowance for loan losses at each of the four year periods ended December 31, 2007, and the nine month period ended September 30, 2008. The allocation presented below is based on the historical average of net charge offs per category combined with the change in loan growth and management’s review of the loan portfolio.

Deposits

A stable core deposit base is the major source of funds for the Company’s subsidiary bank. The deposit mix depends upon many factors including competition from other financial institutions, depositor interest in certain types of deposits, changes in the interest rate and the Company’s need for certain types of deposit growth. Total deposits increased approximately $6.8 million or 3.3% during the first nine months of 2008. Since year end, the largest increases in deposits were primarily in savings deposits and interest bearing demand deposits . At September 30, 2008, noninterest bearing deposits comprised 12% of total deposits and interest bearing deposits which include NOW, money market, savings and time deposits comprised 88% of total deposits. The was no change in the deposit mix from December 31, 2007 to September 30, 2008.

Federal Funds Purchased and Repurchase Agreements

Federal funds purchased and repurchase agreements represent borrowings of a short duration, usually less than 30 days. For repurchase agreements, the securities underlying the agreements remained under the Bank’s control. There were no Federal funds purchased at September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007. Repurchase agreements increased approximately $.5 million or 4.5%, from December 31, 2007 to September 30, 2008. The increase in repurchase agreements since year end was primarily due to the increase in the balances maintained by commercial customers.

Federal Home Loan Bank and Other Long-term Borrowings

The subsidiary Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh (“FHLB”). The FHLB borrowings are secured by a blanket lien by the FHLB on certain residential real estate loans or securities with a market value at least equal to the outstanding balances. The remaining maximum borrowing capacity with the FHLB at September 30, 2008 was approximately $91.0 million subject to the purchase of additional FHLB stock.

The subsidiary bank also has three fixed rate amortizing advances with a weighted average interest rate of 4.78% of which $2,263,916 and $1,683,665 will mature in 2018 and 2023, respectively.

The subsidiary bank also has a one year line of credit agreement with the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”). The maximum credit available under this agreement is $7.0 million and expires December 2011. There were no borrowings outstanding under this agreement at September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.

Contractual maturities of FHLB borrowings as of September 30, 2008 were as follows:

2008	$	18,212

There were no outstanding borrowings as of September 30, 2008 and as of December 31, 2007.

Capital Resources

Stockholders’ equity increased 2.9% during the nine month period ended September 30, 2008 entirely from current earnings after quarterly dividends, and a 3.0% decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income. The decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income is primarily attributable to the effect of the change in the net unrealized loss on securities available for sale. Stockholders’ equity amounted to 10.4% and 10.8% of total assets at September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. The Company paid dividends of $.57 per share during in the nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007.

The Company’s primary source of funds for payment of dividends to shareholders is from the dividends from its subsidiary bank. The approval of the Comptroller of the Currency is required to pay dividends if the total of all dividends declared by a national bank in any calendar year exceeds the total of its net profits (as defined) for the year, combined with its retained net profits of the preceding two years. Under this formula, the Company’s subsidiary bank can declare dividends in 2008, without approval of the Comptroller of the Currency, of approximately $915,000, plus an additional amount equal to the bank’s net profit for 2008 up to the date of any such dividend declaration.

The Company and its subsidiary 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’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Company’s and bank’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company’s and bank’s capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk, weighting, and other factors. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier I capital (as defined) to adjusted total assets (as defined).

Liquidity

Liquidity management ensures that funds are available to meet loan commitments, deposit withdrawals, and operating expenses. Funds are provided by loan repayments, investment securities maturities, or deposits, and can be raised by liquidating assets or through additional borrowings. The Company had investment securities with an estimated fair value of $107,006,587 classified as available for sale at September 30, 2008. These securities are available for sale at any time based upon management’s assessment in order to provide necessary liquidity should the need arise. The fair value of temporarily impaired investment securities that the company has the intent and ability to hold until the anticipated recovery in market value is $56,956,000. In addition, the Company’s subsidiary bank, Progressive Bank, N.A., is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh (“FHLB”). Membership in the FHLB provides an additional source of funding in the form of collateralized advances. The remaining maximum borrowing capacity with the FHLB at September 30, 2008 was approximately $91.0 million subject to the purchase of additional FHLB stock. At September 30, 2008, the subsidiary bank had a short term line of credit in the aggregate amount of approximately $7 million available with the FHLB. There were no short term borrowings outstanding pursuant to this agreement as of September 30, 2008. At September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company had outstanding loan commitments and unused lines of credit totaling $23,268,000 and $16,035,000, respectively. As of September 30, 2008, management placed a high probability for required funding within one year of approximately $17.9 million. Approximately $4.1 million is principally unused home equity and credit card lines on which management places a low probability for required funding.

PART I

Item 3 Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company’s subsidiary bank uses an asset/liability model to measure the impact of changes in interest rates on net interest income on a periodic basis. Assumptions are made to simulate the impact of future changes in interest rates and/or changes in balance sheet composition. The effect of changes in future interest rates on the mix of assets and liabilities may cause actual results to differ from simulated results. Guidelines established by the Company’s subsidiary bank provides that the estimated net interest income may not change by more than 10% in a one year period given a +/- 200 basis point parallel shift in interest rates. Excluding the potential effect of interest rate changes on assets and liabilities of the Holding Company which are not deemed material, the anticipated impact on net interest income of the subsidiary bank at September 30, 2008 was as follows: given a 200 basis point increase scenario net interest income would be decreased by approximately 3.9%, and given a 200 basis point decrease scenario net interest income would be reduced by approximately 6.2%. The results using a +/-100 basis point interest rate scenario are also presented. Under the 100 basis point increase scenario net interest income would be decreased by approximately 1.7%, and given a 100 basis point decrease scenario net interest income would be reduced by 1.2%. The projections provided by the model are not intended as an actual forecast of the bank’s performance in a particular rate environment, and should not be relied upon. Actual changes in the interest rate environment normally do not take place instantaneously, but over a period of time, and do not occur in a parallel fashion. Additionally, the balance sheet composition, spread relationships for new dollars invested, non interest income and expenses, investment practices, and deposit practices all change as a result of changes in interest rates and would need to be considered by the Asset Liability committee.

Item 4 Controls and Procedures
