(hereinafter referred to as the "Company"), incorporated under the laws of West Virginia in 2003, is a one-bank holding company subject to the provisions of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and owns 100% of the outstanding stock of its subsidiary bank, Pendleton County Bank ("Bank"). The Bank, headquartered in Franklin, West Virginia, was incorporated under the laws of West Virginia on March 9, 1925 and operates as a state chartered bank. The Bank is engaged in the general commercial banking business offering a full range of banking services focused primarily towards serving individuals, small to medium size businesses, the agricultural industry, and the professional community. The Bank strives to serve the banking needs of its customers while developing personal, hometown relationships. Location and Market Area The Bank's primary trade area includes Pendleton, Grant, Hardy and Pocahontas counties in West Virginia including the towns of Franklin, Marlinton, Moorefield, and Petersburg. The Bank's secondary trade area includes the neighboring counties of each respective office, including counties in West Virginia and Virginia. The Bank's business locations include their main office and operations center located in Franklin, West Virginia, a full service branch in Moorefield opened in July 1999, and a full service branch in Marlinton, West Virginia opened in November 2001. To better serve the customers in the Marlinton area, the Company has received approval to relocate the Marlinton branch bank in 2005. Construction is in progress for a new full service branch bank with an expected opening date of late spring 2005. Management is continuing to investigate and consider other possible sites that would enable the Bank to profitably serve its market area. To this end, the Company purchased land in the Harrisonburg, Virginia market in January 2005. Banking Services The Bank accepts deposits, makes consumer and commercial loans, issues drafts, and provides other services customarily offered by a commercial banking institution. The Bank's deposits are insured under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act to the limits provided thereunder. Loans The Bank offers a full range of short-to-medium term commercial and personal loans. Commercial loans include both secured and unsecured loans for working capital (including inventory and receivables), business expansion (including acquisition of real estate and improvements) and purchase of equipment and machinery. Consumer loans may include secured and unsecured loans for financing automobiles, mobile homes, home purchases and improvements, education and personal investments. Real estate construction loans (residential and commercial) are made for a maximum term of nine months. Long-term real estate loans (residential and commercial) are made with a maximum amortization period of 30 years with both balloon terms and adjustable rate terms (ARMs) of from one to five years. Interest rates vary depending on the length of the balloon or ARM term. The majority of the real estate loans are made as investments, with a small percentage sold in the secondary market. 4 Loans (Continued) The Bank's lending activities are subject to a variety of lending limits imposed by state law. While differing limits apply in certain circumstances based on the type of loan or the nature of the borrower (including the borrower's relationship to the Bank), in general, the Bank is subject to a loan-to-one borrower limit of an amount equal to 15% of the Bank's capital and surplus in the case of loans which are not fully secured by readily marketable or other permissible types of collateral. The Bank voluntarily may choose to impose a policy limit on loans to a single borrower that is less than the legal lending limit. The Bank may establish relationships with correspondent banks to participate in loans when loan amounts exceed the Bank's legal lending limits or internal lending policies. Deposits The Bank offers a full range of deposit products including checking, money market, and savings accounts, certificates of deposits, and individual retirement accounts. The deposit accounts are insured under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act to the limits provided thereunder. Other bank services include safe deposit boxes, issuance of cashier's checks, credit life insurance, traveler's checks, direct deposit of payroll and social security checks, automatic drafts for various accounts, telephone banking, online banking, cash management, and bill pay. The Bank currently offers credit and debit card services that can be used by bank customers throughout West Virginia and other regions. Competition The Bank's market area is highly competitive and competition in lending activities comes principally from other commercial banks. The primary factors in competing for loans are interest rates and overall lending services. There are branches of nine commercial banks located in its primary market area. Competition for deposits among the banks is intense, and as a result, the Bank monitors its competitive position and makes adjustments in pricing that management deems necessary to attract new depositors and maintain current deposit relationships. Competition for deposits comes from other commercial banks, savings associations, money market funds and credit unions. The primary factors in competing for deposits are interest rates paid on deposits, customer satisfaction, convenience of office location and overall financial condition. SUPERVISION AND REGULATION The Effect of Governmental Policy on Banking The earnings and growth of the Bank are affected not only by local market area factors and general economic conditions, but also by government monetary and fiscal policies. For example, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "FRB") influences the supply of money through its open market operations in U.S. Government securities and adjustments to the discount rates applicable to borrowings by depository institutions and others. Such actions influence the growth of loans, investments and deposits and also affect interest rates charged on loans and paid on deposits. The nature and impact of future changes in such policies on the business and earnings of the Bank cannot be predicted. As a consequence of the extensive regulation of commercial banking activities in the United States, the business of the Bank is particularly susceptible to being affected by enactment of federal and state legislation which may have the effect of increasing or decreasing the cost of doing business, modifying permissible activities, or enhancing the competitive position of other financial institutions. Any change in applicable laws or regulations may have a material adverse effect on the business and prospects of the Bank. The Bank is subject to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA"), which substantially revises the bank regulatory framework and deposit insurance funding provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act. 5 Bank Regulation and Supervision As a West Virginia state-chartered bank, the Bank is regulated, supervised and regularly examined by the West Virginia Division of Banking ("WVDB") and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"). Deposit accounts at the Bank are insured by the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF"), as administered by the FDIC, to the maximum amount permitted by law. The FDIC may terminate a bank's deposit insurance upon finding that the institution has engaged in unsafe or unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations, or has violated any applicable law, regulation, rule, order or condition enacted or imposed by the bank's regulatory agency. Effect of Environmental Regulation The Bank's primary exposure to environmental risk is through its lending activities. In cases when management believes environmental risk potentially exists, the Bank mitigates its environmental risk exposures by requiring environmental site assessments at the time of loan origination to confirm collateral quality as to commercial real estate parcels posing higher than normal potential for environmental impact, as determined by reference to present and past uses of the subject property and adjacent sites. Environmental assessments are typically required prior to any foreclosure activity involving non-residential real estate collateral. With regard to residential real estate lending, management reviews those loans with inherent environmental risk on an individual basis and makes decisions based on the dollar amount of the loan and the materiality of the specific credit. The Bank anticipates no material effect on anticipated capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position as a result of compliance with federal, state or local environmental protection laws or regulations. International Money Laundering Abatement and Anti-Terrorist Financing Act of 2001 (USA Patriot Act) The International Money Laundering Abatement and Anti-Terrorist Financing Act of 2001 (the "Patriot Act") was adopted in response to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. The Patriot Act provides law enforcement with greater powers to investigate terrorism and prevent future terrorist acts. Among the broad-reaching provisions contained in the Patriot Act are several designed to deter terrorists' ability to launder money in the United States and provide law enforcement with additional powers to investigate how terrorists and terrorist organizations are financed. The Patriot Act creates additional requirements for banks, which were already subject to similar regulations. The Patriot Act authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury to require financial institutions to take certain "special measures" when the Secretary suspects that certain transactions or accounts are related to money laundering. These special measures may be ordered when the Secretary suspects that a jurisdiction outside of the United States, a financial institution operating outside of the United States, a class of transactions involving a jurisdiction outside of the United States or certain types of accounts are of "primary money laundering concern." The special measures may include any or all of the following: (a) require financial institutions to keep records and report on the transactions or accounts at issue; (b) require financial institutions to obtain and retain information related to the beneficial ownership of any account opened or maintained by foreign persons; (c) require financial institutions to identify each customer who is permitted to use a payable-through or correspondent account and obtain certain information from each customer permitted to use the account; and (d) prohibit or impose conditions on the opening or maintaining of correspondent or payable-through accounts. 6 Bank Holding Company Beginning on January 1, 2003, the Bank became a wholly owned subsidiary of Allegheny Bancshares, Inc., a bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956. The Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 restricts the activities of the Company and the acquisition by the Company of voting stock or assets of any bank, savings association or other company. The Company is also subject to the reporting requirements of, and examination and regulation by, the Federal Reserve Board and the West Virginia Division of Banking. The Bank is subject to restrictions imposed by the Federal Reserve Act on transactions with affiliates, including any loans or extensions of credit to the Company or its subsidiaries, investments in the stock or other securities thereof and the taking of such stock or securities as collateral for loans to any borrower; the issuance of guarantees, acceptances or letters of credit on behalf of the Company and its subsidiaries; purchases or sales of securities or other assets; and the payment of money or furnishing of services to the Company and other subsidiaries. The Company is prohibited from acquiring direct or indirect control of more than 5% of any class of voting stock or substantially all of the assets of any bank holding company without the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board and the West Virginia Board of Banking and Financial Institutions. The Company and its subsidiary are prohibited from engaging in certain tying arrangements in connection with extensions of credit and/or the provision of other property or services to a customer by the Company or its subsidiary. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (also known as the Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999) permits bank holding companies to become financial holding companies. This allows them to affiliate with securities firms and insurance companies and to engage in other activities that are financial in nature. A bank holding company may become a financial holding company if each of its subsidiary banks is well capitalized, is well managed and has at least a satisfactory rating under the Community Reinvestment Act. No regulatory approval will be required for a financial holding company to acquire a company, other than a bank or savings association, engaged in activities that are financial in nature or incidental to activities that are financial in nature, as determined by the Federal Reserve Board. The Financial Services Modernization Act defines "financial in nature" to include: securities underwriting, dealing and market making; sponsoring mutual funds and investment companies; insurance underwriting and agency; merchant banking activities; and activities that the Federal Reserve Board has determined to be closely related to banking. A bank also may engage, subject to limitations on investment, in activities that are financial in nature, other than insurance underwriting, insurance company portfolio investment, real estate development and real estate investment, through a financial subsidiary of the bank, if the bank is well capitalized, well managed and has at least a satisfactory Community Reinvestment Act rating. The specific effects of the enactment of the Financial Services Modernization Act on the banking industry in general and on Allegheny in particular have yet to be determined because of that Act's relatively recent adoption. Currently, Allegheny has not requested approval as a financial holding company. Capital Standards The FDIC and other federal banking agencies have risk-based capital adequacy guidelines intended to provide a measure of capital adequacy that reflects the degree of risk associated with a banking organization's operations. As of December 31, 2004, the Bank's capital significantly exceeds regulatory requirements. A schedule of capital amounts and ratios is included in Note 13 to the financial statements. Employees As of December 31, 2004, the Bank had 48 full-time employees and 52 total employees. 7 Item 2. Description of Property The main office of the Bank is located at 300 North Main Street, Franklin, West Virginia and is owned by the Bank. The attractive modern facility was originally constructed in 1968 and renovated and expanded in 1989. The construction of the building is cinder block with a brick facing. The 10,640 square foot main floor has six Bank offices, seven administrative offices, five lobby teller stations, five loan administration offices and a customer service area. In addition, there are three drive-through lanes, a walk up window, a night depository and a full service ATM. The 6,660 square foot lower level houses the operations center, two administration offices, a community room and a board room. The branch in Moorefield is located at 402 South Main Street, Moorefield, West Virginia and is owned by the Bank. The 3,625 square foot building has four offices, four teller stations, two drive-through lanes, a night deposit drop and an ATM. The branch was completed in February 2000 and the construction is wood frame with a gray masonry exterior. The current branch in Marlinton is located at 219 Eighth Street, Marlinton, West Virginia and is leased by the Bank. The 1,920 square foot temporary office has two teller stations, a night deposit drop and customer service/loan platform area. The branch was opened in November 2001. The Company is planning to relocate the bank to 900 Seneca Trail North, Marlinton, West Virginia in 2005 to a permanent location. Construction is currently in progress. The new 3,500 square foot office will have four offices, four teller stations, two drive thru lanes, a night deposit drop and an ATM. Item 3. Legal Proceedings Management is not aware of any pending or threatened litigation in which the Bank may be involved as a defendant. In the normal course of business, the Bank periodically must initiate suits against borrowers as a final course of action in collecting past due loans. Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders Allegheny Bancshares has not submitted any matters to the vote of security holders for the quarter ending December 31, 2004. PART II Item 5. Market for Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters Market Information The Company's common stock is currently not traded on any established market; however, the Company is frequently informed of the sales price at which common shares are exchanged. Other transactions may have occurred which were not reported to the Company. The Company acts as its own transfer agent. The amount of dividends payable by the Company depends upon its earnings and capital position, and is limited by the federal and state law, regulations and policy. A West Virginia state bank cannot pay dividends (without the consent of banking authorities) in excess of the total net profits of the current year and the combined retained profits of the previous two years. Annual dividends were declared as of December 31, 2004 and 2003 in the amount of 1.10 and 1.00 per share, respectively. 8 Stockholders As of December 31, 2004, there were 655 holders of common stock. This amount includes all shareholders, whether individually or held by a brokerage firm or custodian in street name. The high and low trade prices of the Company's common stock reported to management were as follows: Year 2004 2003 ---- ---- ---- High Low High Low 1st quarter $ 40.00 $ 37.00 $ 35.11 $ 35.05 2nd quarter 45.00 40.00 35.05 32.00 3rd quarter 62.60(1) 45.00 35.05 35.05 4th quarter 49.00 49.00 37.00 35.05 (1) This price was the result of a private auction and may not be indicative of the market for the Company's shares.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions 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: >> General economic conditions, either nationally or within the Company's markets, could be less favorable than expected; >> Changes in market interest rates could affect interest margins and profitability; >> Competitive pressures could be greater than anticipated; and >> Legal or accounting changes could affect the Company's results. Critical Accounting Policies Certain critical accounting policies affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. Our single most critical accounting policy relates to our allowance for loan losses, which reflects the estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. If the financial condition of our borrowers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, our estimates would be updated, and additional reserves may be required. For further discussion of the estimates used in determining the allowance for loan losses, we refer you to the discussion on "Loan Losses and Allowance for Loan Losses" below. Overview 2004 Compared to 2003 Net income of the Company increased 4.51% from 2003 to 2004 and earnings per share increased 4.72% from $2.54 to $2.66. Increases of $566,000 in net interest income and $80,000 in noninterest income were offset by increases in the provision for loan losses and noninterest expenses. 2003 Compared to 2002 Net income of the Company increased 18.13% from 2002 to 2003 and earnings per share increased 18.14% from $2.15 to $2.54. Increases of $686,000 in net interest income and $31,000 in noninterest income were offset by increases in noninterest expenses and income tax expense. 11 Net Interest Earnings 2004 Compared to 2003 The primary source of the Company's earnings is net interest income, the difference between income on earning assets and the cost of funds supporting those assets. Significant categories of earning assets are loans and securities while deposits represent the major portion of interest-bearing liabilities. For purposes of the following discussion, comparison of net interest income is done on a tax equivalent basis, which provides a common basis for comparing yields on earning assets exempt from federal income taxes to those which are fully taxable. The Company's taxable equivalent net interest income increased 7.61% in 2004 compared to 2003, due to the net growth of earning assets and improved net yield on earning assets. The Company's net yield on interest earning assets for 2004 was 4.97% compared to 4.78% 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. 2003 Compared to 2002 The Company's taxable equivalent net interest income increased 10.07% in 2003 compared to 2002, due to the combination of net growth of earning assets and decreased cost of funds, offset by lower asset yields. The Company's net yield on interest earning assets for 2003 was 4.78% compared to 4.89% for 2002 as the yield on earning assets declined more than the cost of funds. The yield on earning assets declined during the period analyzed due somewhat to the repricing of maturing funds at lower current rates. Noninterest Income 2004 Compared to 2003 Noninterest income consists of all revenues which are not included in interest and fee income related to earning assets. Noninterest income increased 18.52% in 2004. Service charges increased $43,000 from 2003 to 2004, primarily as a result of an increase in overdraft fees and the introduction of the Company's overdraft bounce protection program. Also included in noninterest income are gains on securities of $52,000 in 2004 as compared to $7,000 in 2003. Other increases in noninterest income were due to increases in ATM fees and insurance commissions. Noninterest income (excluding security gains and losses) as a percentage of average assets was .29% and .28% for December 31, 2004 and 2003 respectively. 2003 Compared to 2002 Noninterest income increased 7.78% in 2003 primarily due to an increase in service charge activity. Other income increased primarily due to increase in ATM Fees. Noninterest income (excluding security gains and losses) as a percentage of average assets was .28% and .26% for December 31, 2003 and 2002 respectively. 12 Noninterest Expenses 2004 Compared to 2003 Noninterest expenses increased $404,000 in 2004 compared to 2003. Noninterest expenses as a percentage of average assets was 2.57% and 2.40% for each of the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. This increase is primarily attributable to a $170,000 increase in salaries and benefits as a result of an increase in the number of employees, merit increases, and higher benefit costs. Occupancy expenses increased due to improvements to the Franklin Office. Equipment expenses, including software maintenance contract expense and depreciation expense, increased as a result of computer system improvements and upgrades in 2003, and developing and implementing the Bank's website, internet banking and bounce protection in 2004. Director's fees increased in 2004 due to an increase in fees and the formation of new committees. Other changes contributing to the increase in noninterest expenses were increases in information systems consulting fees, education and travel, audit and accounting fees and nonincome tax expense. These increases were offset somewhat by decreases in office supplies expense. Other increases include marketing expenditures due to expanded advertising campaigns. 2003 Compared to 2002 Noninterest expenses increased $184,005 in 2003 compared to 2002. Noninterest expenses as a percentage of average assets was 2.40% and 2.56% for each of the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Salaries and benefits increased due to annual merit increases and higher benefit costs. Equipment expenses, including software maintenance contract expense and depreciation expense, increased as a result of improvements and upgrades to the Company's data processing infrastructure in 2003. Other changes contributing to the increase in noninterest expenses were increases in convention and meeting, advertising, and audit and accounting fees. Other increases include telephone and communication lines due to improvements in branch communications. Income Tax Expense Income tax expense equaled 30.1%, 29.5% and 28.5% of income before income taxes for the years ended December , 31 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Securities Schedules of securities by type and maturity are shown in Note 3 to the financial statements. Loans Total loans increased 6.05% during 2003 to $118,322,541. A schedule of loans by type is shown in Note 4 of the financial statements. Approximately 82% of the loan portfolio is secured by real estate at December 31, 2004. 13 Loan Portfolio Risk Factors Loans accounted for on a nonaccrual basis were $429,223, $9,250 and $104,756 at December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 (.36%, .01% and .10% of total loans), respectively. Accruing loans which are contractually past due 90 days or more as to principal or interest totaled $387,516, $877,462 and $1,413,114 at December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 (.33%, .79% and 1.35% of total loans), respectively. Loans are placed in a nonaccrual status when management has information that indicates that principal or interest may not be collectable. The Company has a substantial amount of loans in the loan portfolio related to agribusinesses; see Note 4 of the financial statements for additional details. Management has not identified any additional loans as "troubled debt restructurings" or "potential problem loans." Loan Losses and Allowance for Loan Losses The allowance for loan losses is an estimate of the losses in the current loan portfolio. The allowance is based on two principles of accounting: (i) SFAS 5, Accounting for Contingencies which requires that losses be accrued when they are probable of occurring and estimatable and (ii) SFAS 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, which requires that loans be identified which have characteristics of impairment (e.g. the collateral, present value of cash flows or observable market values are less than the loan balance). For each period presented, the provision for loan losses charged to operations is based on management's judgment after taking into consideration all factors connected with the collectibility of the existing portfolio. Management evaluates the loan portfolio in light of economic conditions, changes in the nature and value of the portfolio, industry standards and other relevant factors. Through internal loan review the bank classifies loans into categories and assigns a risk rating as follows to be used in the calculation: Excellent, Good, Satisfactory, Special Mention, Substandard, Doubtful and Loss. Within these categories, Real Estate, Consumer, and Commercial Loans are assigned a specific loss rate based on historical losses and management's estimation of potential loss. Loans identified as problem loans or potential problem loans are committed to a watch list. Loans on the watch list are classified as loss, doubtful, substandard or special mention and are subjected to a more detailed review. This detailed review identifies each applicable loan for specific impairment and a specific allocation for that impaired amount is used in the calculation. Rates assigned each category may vary over time as historical loss rates, loan structure and economic conditions change. The allowance for loan losses is computed quarterly and adjusted prior to the issuance of the quarterly financial statements. All loan losses charged to the allowance are approved by the board of directors at their regular meetings. The allowance is reviewed for adequacy after considering historical loss rates, current economic conditions (both locally and nationally) and any known credit problems that have not been considered under the above formula. The allowance for loan losses increased from $1,051,633 at December 31, 2003 to $1,094,288 at December 31, 2004. Net charge offs increased from $97,000 in 2003 to $141,000 in 2004. The provision for loan losses increased from $120,000 in 2003 to $183,000 in 2004. Based on historical losses, delinquency rates, a thorough review of the loan portfolio and after considering the elements of the preceding paragraph, management is of the opinion that the allowance for loan losses is appropriately stated in order to absorb losses in the current portfolio. See Table IV for a summary of the activity in the allowance for loan losses. 14 Loan Losses and Allowance for Loan Losses (Continued) The Company has allocated the allowance according to the amount deemed to be reasonably necessary to provide for the losses within each of the categories of loans. The allocation of the allowance as shown in Table IV should not be interpreted as an indication that loan losses in future years will occur in the same proportions or that the allocation indicates future loan loss trends. Furthermore, the portion allocated to each loan category is not the total amount available for losses that might occur within such categories since the total allowance is a general allowance applicable to the entire portfolio. Table IV shows the balance and percentage of the Company's allowance for loan losses allocated to each major category of loans. Deposits The Company's deposits increased $3,023,954 or 2.35% during 2004. A schedule of deposits by type is shown in the balance sheets. Time deposits of $100,000 or more were 14.4% of total deposits at December 31, 2004. Long-Term Debt The Company signed a 10-year $1,000,000 fixed rate note with FHLB at 3.77% on March 18, 2003, a 10-year $2,000,000 fixed rate note with FHLB at 3.15% on June 18, 2003 and a $1,000,000 fixed rate note with FHLB at 4.28% on October 20, 2003. The purpose of the notes was to fund a long-term, fixed rate loan product to qualifying customers. There were no additional borrowings in 2004 and the Company made payments of $344,000 and $162,000 in 2004 and 2003, respectively. Capital Capital as a percentage of total assets was 14.82% at December 31, 2004 and significantly exceeded regulatory requirements. The Company is considered to be well capitalized under the regulatory guidelines. Uncertainties and Trends Management is not aware of any 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 December 31, 2004, the Company had liquid assets of approximately $4.9 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 December 31, 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 December 31, 2004, the Company had a negative cumulative Gap Rate Sensitivity Ratio of 35.10% for the one-year repricing period. This rate 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 -.12%. 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 III shows the Company's interest sensitivity. 15 TABLE I Allegheny Bancshares, Inc.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: Allegheny Bancshares ("Company") is a bank holding company and operates under a charter issued by the state of West Virginia. The Company owns all of the outstanding stock of Pendleton County Bank ("Bank"), which operates under a charter issued by the State of West Virginia and provides commercial banking services to customers located primarily in Pendleton County, West Virginia and adjacent counties. As a state chartered bank, the Bank is subject to regulation by the Department of Banking for the State of West Virginia and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial statements. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported revenue and expenses. The accounting and reporting policies of the Company and its subsidiary conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and to accepted practice within the banking industry. A summary of significant accounting policies is as follows: Consolidation Policy - The consolidated financial statements include Allegheny Bancshares, Inc. and Pendleton County Bank. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Investment Securities - Investment securities which the Company intends to hold for indefinite periods of time, including investment securities used as part of the Company's asset/liability management strategy, are classified as available for sale. These investment securities are carried at fair value. Net unrealized gains and losses, net of deferred income taxes, are excluded from earnings and reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity until realized. Gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are determined using the specific identification method. Loans Receivable - Loans receivable are intended to be held until maturity and are shown on the balance sheet net of the allowance for loan losses. Interest is computed by methods which generally result in level rates of return on principal. Interest income generally is not recognized on specific impaired loans unless the likelihood of further loss is remote. Payments received on such loans are applied as a reduction of the loan principal balance. Interest income on other impaired loans is recognized only to the extent of interest payments received. Allowances for impaired loans are generally determined based on collateral values or the present value of estimated cash flows. Although management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, because of uncertainties associated with local economic conditions, collateral values, and future cash flows on impaired loans, it is reasonably possible that a material change could occur in the allowance for loan losses in the near term. However, the amount of the change that is reasonably possible cannot be estimated. Past due status is determined based on contractual terms. The Company grants commercial, real estate and consumer installment loans to its customers. Collateral requirements for loans are determined on a loan-by-loan basis depending upon the purpose of the loan and the financial condition of the borrower. 29 ALLEGHENY BANCSHARES, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED): In the normal course of business, to meet the credit needs of its customers, the Company has made commitments to extend credit. These commitments represent a credit risk, which is not recognized in the Company's balance sheet. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for other loans. Commitments to extend credit are generally made for a period of one year or less and interest rates are determined when funds are disbursed. Collateral and other security for the loans are determined on a case-by-case basis. Since some of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the contract or notional amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. See Note 14 for lending commitments as of December 31, 2004 and 2003. The accrual of interest on all loans is discontinued when the loan is determined uncollectible. Loans are placed on nonaccrual or charged off if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful. All interest accrued but not collected for loans that are placed on nonaccrual or charged off is reversed against interest income. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured. Cash and Cash Equivalents - Cash and cash equivalents as used in the cash flow statements are defined as those amounts included in the balance sheet caption "Cash and due from banks." Allowance for Loan Losses - The allowance for loan losses is increased by charges to income and decreased by charge-offs (net of recoveries). Management's periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is based on the Company's past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral, and current economic conditions. Bank Premises and Equipment - Bank premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is charged to income over the estimated useful lives of the assets on a combination of straight-line and accelerated methods. Income Taxes - Deferred tax assets and liabilities are reflected at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets or 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. Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accrued interest receivable, demand deposits, savings deposits and short-term borrowings approximates fair value. The fair value of securities is based upon a pricing model which takes into consideration maturity, yields and quality. The remainder of the recorded financial instruments were valued based on the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at various rates in effect for similar instruments at year-end. Fair values for off-balance-sheet lending commitments approximate the contract or notional value taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties' credit standings. 30 ALLEGHENY BANCSHARES, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 2 DEPOSITS IN AND FEDERAL FUNDS SOLD TO BANKS: The Company has cash on deposit and federal funds sold to other commercial banks amounting to $3,181,704 and $1,484,203 as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

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 must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Company's assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company's capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company 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 average assets (as defined). As of April 30, 2004, the most recent notification from institution's primary regulator categorized the Company as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized the Company must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based, and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the table.

Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosures None Item 9A. Controls and Procedures As a result of the enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, issuers such as Allegheny Bancshares, Inc. 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 required disclosure. We have established our disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information related to Allegheny Bancshares, Inc. 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 report. Based on this evaluation, Allegheny Bancshares, Inc.'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 Allegheny Bancshares, Inc.'s internal controls pertaining to its financial reporting and control of its assets or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls.

The Board of Directors has not established formal nominating or compensation committees as the entire board serves in these capacities. The Company has an audit committee as discussed below. Audit Committee. The audit committee was formed in January 2002, and is composed of Dr. John Glover, Roger Champ and Thomas J. Bowman. The audit committee oversees the Company's financial reporting process on behalf of the board of directors. Management has the primary responsibility for the financial statements and the reporting process, including the systems of internal controls. In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the committee reviewed the audited financial statements in the annual report with management including a discussion of the quality, not just the acceptability, of the accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments, and the clarity and disclosures in the financial statements. The audit committee is governed by a written charter approved by the board of directors in January 2002. It is difficult for a community bank to find a single individual that has every one of the Securities and Exchange Commission's qualifications of an audit committee financial expert; Allegheny believes that having only one individual with financial expertise designation would cause the remaining members to believe that their oversight responsibility had been diminished. Allegheny believes that each member of the audit committee has sufficient knowledge in financial and auditing matters to serve on the committee. As such, the board does not believe that it is necessary to actively search for an outside person to serve on the board to qualify as an audit committee financial expert. The committee has authority to engage legal counsel, other experts or consultants as it deems appropriate to carry out its responsibilities. The audit committee is responsible for the appointment, replacement, compensation and oversight of the independent auditor engaged to prepare or issue audit reports on our financial statements. As a result, Allegheny has not designated one individual as an "audit committee financial expert." Compensation of Directors Directors of the Company receive a fee of $500 for each meeting of the Board of Directors they attend. Code of Ethics The Company has adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to principal officers and financial professionals of both the Company and the Bank, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. The Code of Ethics has been filed as Exhibit 14 to this Form 10-K. If we make any substantive amendments to this Code of Ethics or grant any waivers, including any implicit waiver, from a provision of the code to our Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer, we will disclose the nature of such amendment or waiver in a report on Form 8-K. 44 Item 11. Executive Compensation Summary of Compensation The table below reflects information concerning the annual compensation for services in all capacities to the corporation for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, for the Chief Executive Officer and any executive officer whose annual salary and bonus exceeded $100,000. Summary Compensation Table Annual Compensation (1) Other Annual Name and Principal Position Year Salary Bonus Compensation --------------------------- ---- ------ ----- ------------ William A. Loving, Jr., Executive Vice President and Chief 2004 $132,500 $16,695(2) $ 0 Executive Officer 2003 $125,000 $14,900(3) $ 0 2002 $122,134 $10,585(4) $ 0 (1) Does not include perquisites and other personal benefits, including personal use of an automobile valued at $1,671 in 2004 and the cost of group-term life insurance coverage over $50,000 which was $360 in 2004. (2) Paid in 2005. (3) Paid in 2004. (4) Paid in 2003. The Company does not maintain any form of stock option, stock appreciation rights, or other long-term compensation plans. Employment and Change in Control Agreements The Bank entered into a three-year employment agreement with William A. Loving, Jr. effective September 30, 2003, in which Mr. Loving agreed to serve as the Bank's Chief Executive Officer. This agreement is automatically renewable for additional three-year terms, unless terminated earlier or unless one of the parties elects not to renew the agreement at least 90 days prior to the end of the term. Under the employment agreement, the Bank may terminate Mr. Loving's employment prior to the expiration of the term of employment with or without cause; provided, however, in the event the Bank terminates his employment without cause (as defined in the employment agreement), he will be entitled to severance equal to the sum of his base annual compensation for the greater of (i) the remainder of the term of the employment agreement (had it not been terminated) or (ii) twelve months. Under the employment agreement, Mr. Loving is entitled to annual compensation of $125,000, which may be adjusted upward by the board of directors of the bank, plus any bonus resulting from any subsequently adopted bonus plan. The employment agreement also contains a provision regarding non-competition, which effectively restricts Mr. Loving's ability to work in a similar capacity within the Counties of Pendleton, Grant and Hardy, West Virginia, for a period of two years following termination of employment with the Bank. At the same time as the execution of the employment agreement by the Bank and Mr. Loving, the parties also entered into an executive severance agreement effective for a period ending on December 31, 2003 (but subject to annual renewals thereafter unless either party objects). This agreement provides that upon a change in control (as defined in the agreement) and for a period of two years thereafter, if Mr. Loving's employment is terminated involuntarily by the Bank (or its successor) without cause, Mr. Loving shall be entitled to a severance payment in the amount equal to 2 1/2 times his annual base salary (in effect at termination of employment or change in control, whichever is greater), plus benefits. In addition, the Bank, or its successor, shall be obligated to provide Mr. Loving health insurance coverage comparable to that received immediately prior to termination of employment. 45 401(k) Plan The Bank maintains a 401(k) profit sharing plan that generally covers all employees who have completed one year of service. Contributions to the plan are based on a percentage of each employee's salary plus matching contributions. The payment of benefits to participants is made at death, disability, termination or retirement. Contributions to the plan for all employees charged to operations during 2004 amounted to $77,116. Compensation Policies The board of directors has not established formal compensation committees as the entire board serves in these capacities. Other information required by this item is set forth under the caption "Board of Directors Report on Executive Compensation" of our 2005 Proxy Statement and is incorporated herein by reference. Item 12.

Shares of common stock which are subject to stock options are deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage of outstanding common stock owned by such person or group but not deemed outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage of common stock owned by any other person or group. (2) Includes qualifying shares of 500 as required by the Company's bylaws. (3) Consists of 33,400 held in the Richard Homan Trust and the Jean Ann Homan Trust of which Mr. Homan is Trustee. Also includes 36,500 shares owned by Captaur Limited Liability Company in which Mr. Homan owns a 50% interest and serves as Member/Manager. (*) Less than 1%. Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company's directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than 10% of the registered class of the Company's equity securities, to make stock ownership and transaction filings with the FDIC and to provide copies to the Company. Based solely on a review of the reports furnished to the Company and written statements that no other reports were required, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to its officers and directors were met. The Company is required to report late filings. Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions The Company has had and intends to continue to have banking and financial transactions in the ordinary course of business with directors and executive officers of the Company and their associates. Total loans outstanding from the Company at December 31, 2004 to the Company's officers and directors as a group and members of their immediate families and companies in which they had an ownership interest of 10% or more were $1,369,308 or approximately 5.69% of the Company's total equity capital. These loans do not involve more than the normal risk of collectibility or present other unfavorable features. Director Moore provides legal services for the Bank. Based on information provided by him, payments made by the Bank to him for legal services were less than five percent of his gross revenue. 47 The Company purchases property insurance coverage from Pendleton County Insurance Company of which Director Hartman is an owner. The terms of and premiums for this insurance are as favorable to the Company as they would have been with third parties not otherwise affiliated with the Company. Item 14.
