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 of $1,828,000 for the first nine months of 2005 represents an increase of 3.87% compared to the same period a year ago. For the quarter ended September 30, 2005, net income was 1.10% lower than the same quarter ended September 30, 2004. Annualized returns on average equity and average assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 were 9.83% and 1.47%, respectively, compared with 9.92% and 1.49% for the same period in 2004. Net Interest Income The Company's taxable equivalent net interest income increased 2.74% for the first nine months of 2005 compared to the first nine months of 2004. This increase resulted from substantial growth in interest earning assets, primarily loans, which served to offset the increase in the cost of funds. The Company's net yield on earnings assets for 2005 was 4.88% compared to 4.97% for 2004 as the cost of funds increased 40 basis points while the yield on earning assets increased 23 basis points. Recent increases by the Federal Reserve Board of the target rate of fed funds has caused the average rates earned on earning assets and the average rates paid on interest bearing liabilities to increase slightly as compared to recent quarters. Average loan balances increased $7.5 million during 2005 as compared to the same period in 2004. The increase in average loan balances was funded by reductions in balances of taxable securities investments, increases in deposits, increases in term and daily sweep repurchase agreements, and long term borrowings. 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. 11 Allowance for Loan Losses and Provision for Loan Losses The provision for loan losses were $163,000 and $135,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The allowance for loan losses ("ALL") was $1,134,000 (.89% of loans) at the end of the first nine months of 2005 compared with $1,094,000 (.92% of loans) at December 31, 2004. 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. Noninterest Income Noninterest income increased 67.20% during the first nine months of 2005 as compared to the same period in 2004 and 84.13% for the third quarter 2005 as compared to the third quarter of 2004. In both instances, the increase was largely due to an increase in overdraft fees as a result of the Company's overdraft bounce protection program introduced in December 2004. Noninterest Expenses Total noninterest expense increased $277,000 or 9.01% for the first nine months of 2005, as compared to 2004 and 15.84% for the third quarter 2005 as compared to the same period in 2004. Salaries and benefits increased due to the increase in the number of employees, merit increases, and higher benefit costs. Occupancy and equipment expenses increased as a result of the completed Franklin office renovations in December 2004 and the relocation and construction of the new Marlinton office completed in May 2005. In August 2005, the bank subsidiary changed its name from Pendleton County Bank to Pendleton Community Bank. Additional expenses were incurred to replace stationary, supplies, and promotional items. Other contributors to the increase in noninterest expense were the costs incurred in connection with implementing and complying with Sarbanes-Oxley Rule 404. Income Tax Expense Income tax expense equaled 30.36% of income before income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared with 30.24% for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. Loans Total loans were $126,877,000 at September 30, 2005, compared to $118,322,000 at December 31, 2004, representing a 7.23% increase. Loan growth during the first nine months of 2005 occurred principally in the commercial and real estate portfolios. A schedule of loans by type is shown in Note 3 to the financial statements. Approximately 82% of the loan portfolio is secured by real estate. Loan Portfolio Risk Factors Loans accounted for on a nonaccrual basis were $109,000 at September 30, 2005 (.09% of total loans). Accruing loans which are contractually past due 90 days or more as to principal or interest totaled $442,000 (.35% 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 $5,417,000 or 4.11% during the first nine months of 2005. As rates continue to increase, competition for deposits increased. A schedule of deposits by type is shown in the balance sheets. Time deposits of $100,000 or more were 14.28% and 14.43% of total deposits at September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. Borrowings Short-term borrowings increased during 2005 due to commercial customers utilizing Term and Daily Sweep Repurchase Agreements. The Company borrows funds from the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) to provide liquidity and to reduce interest rate risk. As competition for deposits have increased during 2005, FHLB borrowings have been utilized to fund loan growth. These borrowings have a fixed rate of interest and are amortized over a period of 10 to 20 years. Interest rates on these obligations range from 3.15% to 4.77%. During the first nine months of 2005, the Company has borrowed $2,000,000 in additional long-term borrowings from the FHLB. Capital The Company continues to maintain a strong capital position to provide an attractive financial return to our shareholders and to support future growth. Capital as a percentage of total assets was 14.86% at September 30, 2005 and significantly exceeded regulatory requirements. The Company is considered to be well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective actions. 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 Liquidity reflects our ability to ensure that funds are available to meet present and future obligations. At September 30, 2005, the Company had liquid assets of approximately $6.3 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, 2005. 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 $18.2 million. At September 30, 2005, the Company had a negative cumulative Gap Rate Sensitivity Ratio of -29.78% 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 .05%. 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. 13 TABLE I Allegheny Bancshares, Inc.

In preparing the above table, no assumptions are made with respect to loan prepayments or deposit run offs. Loan principal payments are included in the earliest period in which the loan matures or can be repriced. Principal payments on installment loans scheduled prior to maturity are included in the period of maturity or repricing. A loan with a floating rate that has reached a contractual floor or ceiling level is being treated as a fixed rate loan until the rate is again free to float. 15 Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk There have been no material changes in Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk as reported in the 2004 Form 10-K. 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.
