- --------------------------
General
- -------------
First West Virginia Bancorp, Inc. ("Holding Company"), was organized as
a West Virginia business corporation on July 1, 1973 at the request of the
Boards of Directors of the Bank of Warwood, N.A. and Community Savings Bank,
N.A. for the purpose of becoming a bank holding company, under the Bank Holding
Company Act of 1956, as amended. On December 30, 1974 the shareholders of those
banks voted to become constituent banks of the Holding Company, which
reorganization was subsequently accomplished in accordance with regulatory
procedure, and the Holding Company thus became the first bank holding company in
the state of West Virginia. Those banks later merged on June 30, 1984 under the
name "First West Virginia Bank, N.A." In November, 1995, the subsidiary banks of
the Holding Company adopted the Common Name of "Progressive Bank, N.A."
At December 31, 2000, First West Virginia Bancorp, Inc. had two
wholly-owned banking subsidiaries: Progressive Bank, N.A. in Wheeling, West
Virginia and Progressive Bank, N.A. - Buckhannon, in Buckhannon, West Virginia.
Progressive Bank, N. A. is a community bank serving all of Ohio, Brooke and
Marshall counties in the state of West Virginia, and a portion of the west bank
of the Ohio River, located in the State of Ohio. Progressive Bank, N.A. operates
two full-service offices in Ohio county, Wheeling, West Virginia, one
full-service office in Brooke county, Wellsburg, West Virginia, one full-service
office in Marshall county, Moundsville, West Virginia, and one full-service
office in Bellaire, Ohio. Progressive Bank, N.A. also has two full-service
Automated Teller Machines (ATM) located at West Liberty State College, Ohio
county, West Liberty, West Virginia and at 8th and Commerce Street, Brooke
County, Wellsburg, West Virginia. On January 4, 1993, Progressive Bank, N.A.
acquired the Wellsburg Banking and Trust Company, Wellsburg, West Virginia which
was converted to a branch office. On August 22, 1997, the merger and plan of
reorganization between First West Virginia Bancorp, Inc. and two of its
subsidiary banks, Progressive Bank, N.A. and Progressive Bank, N.A. - Bellaire
was completed. The former Progressive Bank, N.A. - Bellaire now operates as a
branch of Progressive Bank, N.A. Progressive Bank, N.A. had total assets of
$173,878,421 as of December 31, 2000. Progressive Bank, N.A. - Buckhannon
operates as a community bank serving parts of Upshur and Lewis counties in the
state of West Virginia. Progressive Bank, N.A. - Buckhannon operates a full
service office in Buckhannon, West Virginia and has one full-service office
located in Weston, West Virginia. As of December 31, 2000, Progressive Bank,
N.A. - Buckhannon had total assets of $33,384,796.
On October 2, 2000, the Corporation's subsidiary, Progressive Bank,
N.A., entered into a Purchase and Assumption Agreement with United National Bank
to purchase the building and deposits of United's New Martinsville, West
Virginia branch office. Progressive Bank also entered into a Real Estate
Purchase Agreement to purchase the building and land of United's Moundsville,
West Virginia office located on Lafayette Avenue. The acquisition of the
Moundsville Real estate closed in January 2001, while the New Martinsville
acquisition is expected to close during the first quarter of 2001. The
acquisition of the two offices will add approximately $11.3 million in assets to
the Corporation. The deposits to be acquired in New Martinsville are
approximately $9.5 million.
Total Holding Company assets as of December 31, 2000, which include the
assets of its operating subsidiary banks, were $207,893,209. The authorized
capital of the Holding Company consists of 2,000,000 shares of capital stock,
par value of $5.00 per share, of which 1,538,443 shares were issued and
outstanding as of December 31, 2000 to 393 shareholders. Shareholders' equity at
that date was $18,225,100.
General Description of Business
- -------------------------------
First West Virginia Bancorp, Inc. operates a multi-bank holding company
and is dependent upon subsidiaries for cash necessary to pay expenses, and
dividends to its stockholders. The Holding Company functions primarily as the
holder of the capital stock of its wholly-owned subsidiary banks.
The subsidiary banks of the Holding company are engaged in the business
of banking and provide a broad range of consumer and commercial banking products
and services to individuals, businesses, professionals and governments. The
services and products have been designed in such a manner as to appeal to area
consumers and business principals. The loan portfolio of the banks consists
primarily of loans

General Description of Business - continued
- -------------------------------------------
secured by real estate to consumers and businesses. The bank also engages in
commercial loans and general consumer loans to individuals. The subsidiary banks
offer a wide range of both personal and commercial types of deposit accounts and
services as a means of gathering funds. Types of deposit accounts and services
available include non-interest bearing demand checking, interest bearing
checking (NOW accounts), savings, money market, certificates of deposit,
individual retirement accounts, and Christmas Club accounts. The customer base
for deposits is primarily retail in nature. The majority of the bank's lending
is concentrated in the upper Ohio Valley of northern West Virginia and adjacent
areas of Ohio and Pennsylvania.
First West Virginia Bancorp, Inc.'s business is not seasonal. As of
December 31, 2000, none of the subsidiary banks were engaged in any operation in
foreign countries and none has had transactions with customers in foreign
countries.
Competition
- ------------
Competition involving the Holding Company is generally felt at the
subsidiary level. All phases of the banks' business are highly competitive. The
subsidiary banks encounter competition from other financial institutions and
commercial banks. These entities, along with insurance companies, small loan
companies, credit unions and the like compete with respect to their lending
activities and also in attracting a variety of deposit related instruments.
Supervision and Regulation
- ------------------------------
The Holding Company is subject to the provisions of the Federal Bank
Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and to the supervision of the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System. The Bank Holding Company Act requires
the Holding Company to secure the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board
before it can acquire all or substantially all of the assets of any bank, or
acquire ownership or control of any voting shares of any bank, if, after such
acquisition, it would own or control 5% or more of the voting shares of such
bank. Similarly, a bank holding company is prohibited under the Act from
engaging in, or acquiring direct or indirect control of 5% or more of the voting
shares of any company engaged in non-banking activities unless the Federal
Reserve Board, by order or regulation, has found such activities to be so
closely related to banking or managing or controlling banks as to be a proper
incident thereto. In making determinations as to permitted non-banking
activities, the Federal Reserve Board considers whether the performance of these
activities by a bank holding company would offer benefits to the public which
outweigh possible adverse effects.
As a bank holding company, the Holding Company is required to file with
the Federal Reserve Board reports and any additional information that the
Federal Reserve Board may require pursuant to the Bank Holding Company Act. The
Federal Reserve Board also makes examinations of the Holding Company. The
Holding Company is also required to register with the Office of the Commissioner
of Banking of West Virginia and file reports as requested. The Commissioner has
the power to examine the Holding Company and its subsidiaries.
The Holding Company is also deemed an "affiliate" of its subsidiary
banks under the Federal Reserve Act which imposes certain restrictions on loans
between the Holding Company and its subsidiary banks, investments by the
subsidiaries in the stock of the Holding Company, or the taking of stock of the
Holding Company by the subsidiaries as collateral for loans to any borrower, or
purchases by the subsidiaries of certain assets from the Holding Company, and
the payment of dividends by the subsidiaries to the Holding Company.
Federal Reserve Board approval is required before the Holding Company
may begin to engage in any permitted non-banking activity. The Federal Reserve
Board is empowered to differentiate between activities which are initiated by a
bank holding company or a subsidiary and activities commenced by acquisition of
a going concern.

Supervision and Regulation - Continued
- --------------------------------------
The operations of the Holding Company's subsidiary banks, being
national banks, are subject to the regulations of a number of regulatory
agencies including the regulations of a number of regulatory authorities
including the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System and the applicable state Departments of Banking.
Representatives of the Comptroller of the Currency regulate and conduct
examinations of the subsidiary banks. The subsidiary banks are required to
furnish regular reports to the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Comptroller of the Currency has the authority
to prevent national banks from engaging in an unsafe or unsound bank practice
and may remove officers or directors. It may be noted that the subsidiary banks
of a bank holding company are subject to certain restrictions imposed by the
banking laws on extensions of credit to the bank holding company or other
subsidiaries.
Being a West Virginia corporation, the Holding Company is also subject
to the corporate laws of the State of West Virginia as set forth in the West
Virginia Corporation Act.
The Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act
("FIRREA") was enacted in August, 1989. This legislation created a new liability
as a depository institution insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance
corporation, ("the FDIC"), can be held liable for any loss incurred by, or
reasonably expected to be incurred by, the FDIC after August 9, 1989 in
connection with (i) the default of a commonly controlled FDIC-insured depository
institution or (ii) any assistance provided by the FDIC to a commonly controlled
FDIC-insured depository institution in danger of default. Default is defined
generally as the appointment of a conservator or receiver and "in danger of
default" is defined generally as the existence of certain conditions indicating
that default is likely to occur in the absence of regulatory assistance.
Capital Requirements
- ---------------------------
The Federal Reserve Board and the Office of the Comptroller of the
Currency require a minimum "tier 1" capital to be at least 3% of total assets
("Leverage Ratio"). For all but the most highly rated banks, the minimum
Leverage Ratio requirement will be 4% to 5% of total assets. Tier 1 capital
consists of: (i) common stockholders' equity, noncumulative perpetual preferred
stock and minority interests in consolidated subsidiaries; (ii) minus intangible
assets (other than certain purchased mortgage and credit card servicing rights);
and (iii) minus certain losses, and minus investments in certain securities of
subsidiaries.
In addition, each national bank also must maintain a "tier 1 risk-based
capital ratio" of 4%. The "tier 1 risk-based capital ratio" is defined in OCC
regulations as the ratio to tier 1 capital to "risk-weighted assets". A bank's
total risk-weighted assets are determined by: (i) converting each of its
off-balance sheet items to an on-balance sheet credit equivalent amount; (ii)
assigning each on-balance sheet asset and the credit equivalent amount of each
off-balance sheet item to one of the five risk categories established in the OCC
regulations; and (iii) multiplying the amounts in each category by the risk
factor assigned to that category. The sum of the resulting amounts constitutes
total risk-weighted assets.
Each national bank is also required to maintain a "total risk-based
capital ratio" of at least 8%. The "total risk-based capital ratio" is defined
in the OCC regulations as the ratio of total qualifying capital to risk-weighted
assets (as defined before). Total capital, for purposes of the risk-based
capital requirement, consists of the sum of tier 1 capital (as defined for
purposes of the Leverage Ratio) and supplementary capital. Supplementary capital
includes such items as cumulative perpetual preferred stock, long-term and
intermediate-term preferred stock, term subordinated debt and general valuation
loan and lease loss allowances (but only in an amount of up to 1.25% of total
risk-weighted assets). The maximum amount of supplementary capital that may be
counted towards satisfaction of the total capital requirement is limited to 100%
of core capital. Additionally, term subordinated debt and intermediate-term
preferred stock may only be included in supplementary capital up to 50% of tier
1 capital.
6
7
Capital requirements higher than the generally applicable minimum
requirements may be established for a particular national bank if the OCC
determines that the bank's capital is or may become inadequate in view of its
particular circumstances. Individual minimum capital requirements may be imposed
where a bank is receiving special supervisory attention, has a high degree of
exposure to interest rate risk, or poses other safety or soundness concerns.
Deficient capital may result in the suspension of an institution's deposit
insurance.
As of December 31, 2000, the subsidiaries of First West Virginia
Bancorp, Inc. had capital in excess of the applicable minimum requirements.
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991
- --------------------------------------------------------------
The Holding Company may also be subject to certain provisions of the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvements Act of 1991 ("FDICIA").
FDICIA requires the Federal Reserve Board of Governors to adopt certain
regulations establishing safety and soundness standards for bank holding
companies. Many of the provisions of the regulation became effective in
December, 1993. Additional provisions will be implemented through the adoption
of regulation by various federal banking agencies.
Under OCC regulations, any national bank that receives notice that it
is undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized or critically
undercapitalized must file a capital restoration plan with the OCC addressing,
among other things, the manner in which the association will increase its
capital to comply with all applicable capital standards. Under the prompt
corrective action regulations adopted by the OCC, an institution will be
considered: (i) "well capitalized" if the institution has a total risk-based
capital ratio of 10% or greater, a tier 1 risk- based capital ratio of 6% or
greater, and Leverage Ratio of 5% or greater (provided the institution is not
subject to an order, written agreement, capital directive or prompt corrective
action to meet and maintain a specified capital level for any capital measure);
(ii) "adequately capitalized" if the institution has a total risk- based capital
ratio of 8% or greater, a tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 4% or greater, and
a Leverage Ratio of 4% or greater (3% or greater if the institution is rated
composite 1 in its most recent report of examination); (iii) "undercapitalized"
if the institution has a total risk-based capital ratio of less than 8%, or a
tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of less than 4%, or a Leverage Ratio of less
than 4% (3% if the institution is rated composite 1 in its most recent report of
examination); (iv) "significantly undercapitalized" if the institution has a
total risk-based capital ratio of less than 6%, or a tier 1 risk-based capital
ratio of less than 3%, or a Leverage Ratio that is less than 3%; and (v)
"critically undercapitalized" if the institution has a ratio of tangible equity
to total assets that is less than 2%. The regulations also permit the OCC to
determine that an institution should be placed in a lower category based on the
existence of an unsafe and unsound condition or on other information, such as
the institution's examination report, after written notice.
The degree of regulatory intervention mandated by FDICIA and the prompt
corrective action regulations are tied to a national bank's capital category,
with increasing scrutiny and more stringent restrictions being imposed as a
bank's capital declines. The prompt corrective actions specified by FDICIA for
undercapitalized banks include increased monitoring and periodic review of
capital compliance efforts, a requirement to submit a capital restoration plan,
restrictions on dividends and total asset growth, and limitations on certain new
activities (such as opening new branches and engaging in acquisitions and new
lines of business) without OCC approval. Banks that are significantly
undercapitalized or critically undercapitalized may be required to raise
additional capital so that the bank will be adequately capitalized or be
acquired by, or combined with, another bank if grounds exist for appointing a
receiver. Further, the OCC may restrict such banks from (i) entering into any
material transaction without prior approval of the OCC; (ii) making payments on
subordinated debt; (iii) extending credit for any highly leveraged transaction;
(iv) making any material change in accounting methods; (v) engaging in certain
affiliate transactions; (vi) paying interest on deposits in excess of the
prevailing rates of interest in the region where the institution is located;
(vii) paying excess compensation or bonuses; and (viii) accepting deposits from
correspondent depository institutions. In addition, the OCC may require that
such banks; (a) hold a new election for directors, dismiss any director or
senior executive officer who held office for more than 180 days immediately
before the institution became undercapitalized, or employ qualified senior
executive officers; and (b) divest or liquidate any subsidiary which the OCC
determines poses a significant risk to the institution.
7
8
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 - continued
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Any company which controls a significantly undercapitalized national
bank may be required to (i) divest or liquidate any affiliate other than an
insured depository institution; or (ii) divest the bank if the OCC determines
that divestiture would improve the bank's financial condition and future
prospects. Generally a conservator or receiver must be appointed for a
critically undercapitalized bank no later than 90 days after the bank becomes
critically undercapitalized, subject to a limited exception for banks which are
in compliance with an approved capital restoration plan and which the OCC
certifies as not likely to fail. Additionally, the OCC may impose such other
restrictions on a capital-deficient bank as the OCC deems necessary or
appropriate for the safety and soundness of the bank, its depositors and
investors, including limitations on investments and lending activities. The
failure by a bank to materially comply with an approved capital plan constitutes
an unsafe or unsound practice.
FDICIA and the regulations promulgated by the OCC pursuant thereto also
require any company that has control of an "undercapitalized" national bank, in
conjunction with the submission of a capital restoration plan by the bank, to
guarantee that the bank will comply with the plan and provide appropriate
assurances of performance. The aggregate liability of any such controlling
company under such guaranty is limited to the lesser of: (i) 5% of the bank's
assets at the time it became undercapitalized; or (ii) the amount necessary to
bring the bank into capital compliance at the time the bank fails to comply with
the terms of its capital plan.
Insurance of Deposits
- ----------------------
The subsidiary bank's deposits are insured by the FDIC through the Bank
Insurance Fund ("BIF") up to a maximum of $100,000 for each insured depositor.
The insurance premium payable by each BIF member is based on the institution's
assessment base (generally total deposit accounts subject to certain
adjustments). The premiums are paid quarterly based on semiannual assessments.
The FDIC promulgated regulations establishing a risk-based assessment system for
each semiannual period commencing with the first semiannual payment yearly.
Under the risk-based assessment system, each institution is assigned to
one of three capital groups and to one of three supervisory subgroups for
purposes of determining an assessment rate. The capital group is determined by
the institution's regulatory capital position. The supervisory subgroup
assignments are based on a determination by the FDIC's Director of the Division
of Supervision. Institutions may request a review of the supervisory subgroup
assignment. Under this formula, well-capitalized institutions classified as
Subgroup "A" (financially sound institutions with only a few minor weaknesses)
will pay the most favorable assessment rate while undercapitalized institutions
classified as Subgroup "C" (institutions which pose a substantial probability of
loss to the Bank Insurance Fund (BIF) unless corrective action is taken) will
pay the least favorable assessment rate.
Effective August 8, 1995, the FDIC Board established a process for
increasing and lowering all rates for BIF institutions semiannually, if
conditions warrant a change. Under this system, the FDIC Board will have the
flexibility to adjust the entire BIF assessment rate schedule twice a year, but
only within a range of 5% above or below the premium schedule adopted, without
first having to seek public comment. Any adjustments above or below the 5% range
requires public comment, prior to adjusting the assessment rate schedule.
On November 26, 1996, the FDIC Board of Directors voted to retain the
BIF assessment schedule of 0% to 27% for the first semi annual period of 1997.
The Board also eliminated the $2,000 minimum annual assessment. In addition, the
FDIC Board of Directors voted to collect an additional assessment (termed the
FICO assessment) against BIF-assessable deposits as a result of the enactment of
the Deposit Insurance Funds Act of 1996. The Deposit Insurance Funds Act of 1996
authorized the Financing Corporation (FICO)to impose periodic assessments on
depository institutions that are BIF members in order to spread the cost of
interest payments on outstanding FICO bonds over a larger number of
institutions. The FICO assessment annual rate was approximately 2.07 and 1.19
basis points on BIF-assessable deposits during 2000 and 1999, respectively.
There were no BIF assessments paid during 2000 and 1999.

Monetary Policies
- -----------------
The earnings of the Holding Company are dependent upon the earnings of
its wholly-owned subsidiary banks. The earnings of these subsidiary banks are
affected by the policies of regulatory authorities, including the Comptroller of
the Currency, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The policies and regulations of the
regulatory agencies have had and will continue to have a significant effect on
deposits, loans and investment growth, as well as the rate of interest earned
and paid, and therefore will affect the earnings of the subsidiary banks and the
Holding Company in the future, although the degree of such impact cannot
accurately be predicted.
Employees
- -----------
As of December 31, 2000, the Holding Company had 6 part-time employees.
As of December 31, 2000, the subsidiary banks of the Holding Company had a total
of 78 full-time employees and 14 part-time employees. No employees are union
participants or subject to a collective bargaining agreement.
Interstate Banking
- ---------------------
The Bank Holding Company Act prohibits acquisition by the Holding
Company of 5% or more of the voting shares of, or interest in, all or
substantially all of the assets of any bank without prior approval of the
Federal Reserve Board. Regulations in the state of West Virginia have permitted
the reciprocal interstate branching or acquisition of banks and bank holding
companies since July 1, 1997. Similarly, regulations in the state of Ohio have
permitted interstate acquisitions of banks and bank holding companies since
October 17, 1985. Many other states have adopted legislation which would permit
interstate acquisitions by their banks and bank holding companies and which
would also permit entry by West Virginia bank holding companies. Such
legislation, however, contains various restrictions and conditions. In 1997, the
state of Ohio passed regulations which permit interstate branching.
Securities Laws and Compliance
- ---------------------------------
As of February 13, 1995, the Holding Company's common stock was
registered with the Securities and Exchange commission ("SEC") under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("1934 Act"). This registration
requires ongoing compliance with the 1934 Act and its periodic filing
requirements as well as a wide range of Federal and State securities laws. These
requirements include, but are not limited to, the filing of annual, quarterly
and other reports with the SEC, certain requirements as to the solicitation of
proxies from shareholders as well as other proxy rules, and compliance with the
reporting requirements and "short-swing" profit rules imposed by section 16 of
the 1934 Act.
Acquisitions of or Affiliations With Other Banks or Bank Holding Companies
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Board of Directors of the Company from time to time has had
exploratory discussions with other banks and bank holding companies with which
an affiliation might be desirable. While all such discussions have been quite
amicable, there are presently no understandings, agreements, or letters of
intent to affiliate. Undoubtedly, exploratory discussions with other banks and
bank holding companies will continue from time to time. The Board of Directors
of the Company remains committed to obtaining a high return on the shareholders'
investment, consistent with sound and prudent banking practices, and believes
that the acquisition of or affiliation with selected banks, bank holding
companies and permitted non-banking activities is a desirable means to
accomplish that objective. The Company has authorized but unissued shares of
stock which might be issued from time to time to raise additional capital or for
other bank affiliations or other corporate purposes.

Item 7A Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information required by Item 7A is noted in part in Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -
Interest Rate Risk on Page 16 of the Annual Report to Shareholders of First West
Virginia Bancorp, Inc. for the year ended December 31, 2000, included in this
report as Exhibit 13.1, is incorporated herein by reference.
The Company's subsidiary banks use 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 banks provide 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
banks at December 31, 2000 were as follows: given a 200 basis point increase
scenario net interest income would be decreased by approximately 6.6%, and given
a 200 basis point decrease scenario net interest income would be decreased by
approximately 4.5%. Under both interest rate scenarios the subsidiary banks were
within the established guideline.
