Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
Forward Looking Statements
The following discussion contains statements that refer to future
expectations, contain projections of the results of operations or of financial
condition or state other information that is "forward-looking."
"Forward-looking" statements are easily identified by the use of words such as
"could," "could anticipate," "estimate," "believe," and similar words that refer
to the future outlook. There is always a degree of uncertainty associated with
"forward-looking" statements. The Company's management believes that the
expectations reflected in such statements are based upon reasonable assumptions
and on the facts and circumstances existing at the time of these disclosures.
Actual results could differ significantly from those anticipated.
Many factors could cause the Company's actual results to differ materially
from the results contemplated by the forward-looking statements. Some factors,
which could negatively affect the results, include:
o General economic conditions, either nationally or within the Company's
markets, could be less favorable than expected;
o Changes in market interest rates could affect interest margins and
profitability;
o Competitive pressures could be greater than anticipated; and
o Legal or accounting changes could affect the Company's results.
Overview
Net income increased from $1,641,000 for the nine months ended September
30, 2003 to $1,760,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and earnings
per share increased from $1.82 to $1.96. The increase in earnings was a result
of the increase in net interest income offset somewhat by increased operating
expenses.
Net Interest Income
The Company's taxable equivalent net interest income increased from
$5,184,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 to $5,630,000 for the
nine months ended September 30, 2004, due to the net growth of earning assets,
and improved net yield on earning assets. The Company's net yield on earnings
assets for 2004 was 4.97% compared to 4.73% for 2003 as the yield on earning
assets declined less than the cost of funds. The cost of funds declined due to
the repricing of maturing time deposits at lower current rates. Table I shows
the average balances for interest bearing assets and liabilities, the rates
earned on earning assets and the rates paid on deposits and borrowed funds.
Allowance for Loan Losses and Provision for Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses were $135,000 and $90,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The allowance for loan
losses ("ALL") was $1,075,000 (.89% of loans) at the end of the third quarter of
2004 compared with $1,052,000 (.94% of loans) at December 31, 2003. The ALL is
evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management's
periodic review of the collectibility of the loans, industry historical
experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that
may affect the borrower's ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying
collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently
subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision
as more information becomes available. The calculation of the ALL is considered
to be a critical accounting policy.
11
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income was $378,000 and $317,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Noninterest income (excluding
security gains and losses) as a percentage of average assets increased slightly
from .27% to .28% (annualized). A portion of the increase in other noninterest
income was attributable to higher volume of ATM fees and commissions earned on
insurance premiums.
Noninterest Expenses
Noninterest expenses were $3,073,000 and $2,787,000 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Noninterest expenses as a
percentage of average assets was 2.59% (annualized) for the nine months ended
September 30, 2004, up from 2.43% for the same period of 2003. Salaries and
benefits increased due to an increase in the number of employees, as well as
normal salary increases. Equipment expenses, including software maintenance
contract expense and depreciation expense, increased as a result of the final
stages of a computer system upgrade. Directors fees, which are included in other
expenses, increased due to an increase in fees and the formation of new
committees.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense equaled 30.24% of income before income taxes for the
nine months ended September 30, 2004 compared with 29.24% for the nine months
ended September 30, 2003.
Federal Funds Sold
Federal funds sold were $7,074,000 and $684,000 as of September 30, 2004
and December 31, 2003, respectively. This increase was due to an increase in
deposit volume during the third quarter of 2004 which outpaced growth of other
assets.
Investments
Investments decreased from $37,358,000 at December 31, 2003 to $31,499,000
at September 30, 2004 as a result of funding the increase in the loan portfolio.
Loans
Total loans increased from $111,568,000 at December 31, 2003 to
$120,487,000 at September 30, 2004. A schedule of loans by type is shown in Note
3 to the financial statements. Approximately 81% of the loan portfolio is
secured by real estate.
Loan Portfolio Risk Factors
Loans accounted for on a nonaccrual basis were $65,000 at September 30,
2004 (.05% of total loans). Accruing loans which are contractually past due 90
days or more as to principal or interest totaled $1,071,000 (.89% of total
loans). Loans are placed in a nonaccrual status when management has information
that indicates that principal or interest may not be collectable. Management has
not identified any additional loans as "troubled debt restructurings" or
"potential problem loans."
12
Deposits
The Company's deposits increased $8,377,000 during the first nine months
of 2004 to $136,930,000 at September 30, 2004. This increase reflected normal
growth throughout the Company. A schedule of deposits by type is shown in the
balance sheets. Time deposits of $100,000 or more were 14.05% and 14.54% of
total deposits at September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively.
Capital
Capital as a percentage of total assets was 14.64% at September 30, 2004
and significantly exceeded regulatory requirements. The Company is considered to
be well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective
actions.
During the third quarter of 2004, the company purchased 601 shares of
treasury stock at an average price of $45 per share in private transactions, not
pursuant to any repurchase program.
Uncertainties and Trends
Management is not aware of any known trends, events or uncertainties that
will have or that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on liquidity,
capital resources or operations. Additionally, management is not aware of any
current recommendations by the regulatory authorities which, if they were to be
implemented, would have such an effect.
Liquidity and Interest Sensitivity
At September 30, 2004, the Company had liquid assets of approximately $9.9
million in the form of cash and due from banks and federal funds sold.
Management believes that the Company's liquid assets are adequate at September
30, 2004. Additional liquidity may be provided by the growth in deposit accounts
and loan repayments. In the event the Company would need additional funds, it
has the ability to purchase federal funds and borrow under established lines of
credit of $17.1 million.
At September 30, 2004, the Company had a negative cumulative Gap Rate
Sensitivity Ratio of -35.51% for the one year repricing period. This ratio does
not reflect the historical movement of funds during varying interest rate
environments. Adjusted for historical repricing trends in response to interest
rate changes, the adjusted Gap Ratio is 1.92%. This generally indicates that net
interest income would remain stable in both a declining and increasing interest
rate environment. Management constantly monitors the Company's interest rate
risk and has decided that the current position is an acceptable risk for a
growing community bank operating in a rural environment. Table II shows the
Company's interest sensitivity.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As a result of the enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, issuers
that file periodic reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Act")
are now required to include in those reports certain information concerning the
issuer's controls and procedures for complying with the disclosure requirements
of the federal securities laws. Under rules adopted by the Securities and
Exchange Commission effective August 29, 2002, these disclosure controls and
procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to
ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports it
files or submits under the Act, is communicated to the issuer's management,
including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial
officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to
allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.
We have established disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that
material information related to Allegheny Bancshares, Inc. and its subsidiary is
made known to our principal executive officer and principal financial officer on
a regular basis, in particular during the periods in which our quarterly and
annual reports are being prepared. These disclosure controls and procedures
consist principally of communications between and among the Chief Executive
Officer and the Chief Financial Officer to identify any new transactions,
events, trends, contingencies or other matters that may be material to the
Company's operations. As required, we have evaluated the effectiveness of these
disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this
quarterly report. Based on this evaluation, the Company's management, including
the Chief Financial Officer, concluded that such disclosure controls and
procedures were operating effectively as designed as of the date of such
evaluation.
Changes in Internal Controls
During the period reported upon, there were no significant changes in the
Company's internal controls pertaining to its financial reporting and control of
its assets or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls.
