The interest rates on all of the notes payable as of June 30, 2008 were fixed at the time of the advance and fixed rates range from 4.14% to 5.61%. The FHLB notes are secured by FHLB Stock, as well as investment securities and mortgage loans. The weighted average interest rate is 4.87% at June 30, 2008. NOTE 6 BANK OWNED LIFE INSURANCE: The Company, in an effort to attract and retain employees, offers a variety of benefits to full time employees. The costs of these benefits continue to grow faster than inflation. In order to offset some of these costs and to offer other benefits the Company has invested in a Bank Owned Life Insurance (BOLI) contract. Earnings on these contracts are tax exempt, and are very attractive in comparison with other long-term investments. Page 9 NOTE 7 FAIR VALUE In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which provides a definition of fair value for accounting purposes, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands related financial disclosures. Statement No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements and was initially effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2008. Statement No. 157 establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the use of fair value inputs used in valuation methodologies into the following three levels. Level 1 - Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments treaded in active markets. Level 2 - Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model -based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market. Level 3 - Valuation is based upon significant inputs that reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets recorded at fair values. Investment securities available for sale: Investment securities available for sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted prices, when available. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using independent pricing models. Level 1 securities include those traded by dealers or brokers in an active over the counter markets. Level 2 securities include U.S. government sponsored enterprise securities, mortgage backed securities issued by government sponsored entities, municipal bonds and corporate debt securities. Securities classified as Level 3 include other equities that do not have an active market. Currently all of our securities are considered Level 2 securities. Loans: The Company does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis. However, from time to time, a loan is considered impaired and an allowance for loan loss is established in accordance with SFAS 114 Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, including impaired loans measured at an observable market price (if available), or at the fair value of the loan's collateral (if the loan is collateral dependent).. At June 30, 2008 the fair value was determined by the measurement of the fair value of the underlying collateral. Typically the collateral value is determined by applying a discount to an appraisal that was performed at or about the date of the loan. Due to the uncertainty of appraisals and fluctuation in real estate prices, the Company records the impaired loans as nonrecurring Level 3. The loans listed below have a gross carrying value of $1,327,000, but a fair value of $1,085,000, which results in an increase in our Allowance for Loan Loss of $242,000. Other Real Estate Owned: Certain assets such as other real estate owned (OREO) are measured at fair value less cost to sell. We believe that the fair value component in its valuation follows the provisions of SFAS No. 157.

Executive Performance Driven Plan. The Performance Plan provides for bonus compensation based on achievement of certain performance goals. The CEO is eligible to receive a bonus based on achievement of the performance criteria. For the Bank's Chief Executive Officer, performance compensation will be based on the following individual categories (as reflected in the performance of Allegheny Bancshares, Inc.): Return on Average Equity, Increase in Earnings per Share, Return on Assets, Asset Growth Rate. The total performance compensation which may be earned by the CEO is between 0% and 11.50% of his base salary. The Company has accrued a liability and incurred a benefit expense of $10,500 for the first six months of 2008 for this plan based on the assumption that the CEO will earn 10% of his base salary for 2008. Supplemental Retirement Agreement: On June 4th, 2008 the Bank entered into a non-qualified Supplemental Retirement Agreement ("SERP") with the CEO. The SERP provide for the payment of a monthly supplemental executive retirement benefit equal to annual payments of $54,663 for a 15 year period. Such benefit shall be payable for a period of fifteen years, or under certain circumstances, prior to age 65. For each full calendar year the CEO completes with the Bank without separation of service, the CEO shall be credited with 8.33% of this benefit, toward 100% after 12 years. The Company has accrued a liability and incurred a benefit expense of $11,470 for the first six months of 2008 for this plan. Page 11 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Allegheny Bancshares, Inc. (Company) is a single bank holding company organized under the laws of West Virginia. The Company provides financial services through its wholly owned subsidiary Pendleton Community Bank (Bank). The Bank is a full service commercial bank offering financial services through four financial centers located in the West Virginia towns of Franklin, Moorefield and Marlinton, and its newest office near Harrisonburg, Virginia. Currently its primary trade areas are these towns and the West Virginia counties of Pendleton, Hardy, Pocahontas, and in western Rockingham County, Virginia. The newest financial center is located in Rockingham County, Virginia just west of the city limits of Harrisonburg, Virginia and was opened for business July 19, 2006. The following discussion and analysis is provided to address information about the Company's financial condition and results of operations that may not otherwise be apparent from reading the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. 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 POLICY The financial condition and results of operations as presented in the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements are dependent on the accounting policies. The policies selected and applied involve judgments, estimates, and may change from period to period based upon economic conditions. In addition, changes in generally accepted accounting principles could impact the calculations of these estimates, and even though this would not affect the true values, it could affect the timing of recognizing income or expense. The following discussion of allowance for loans loss is, in management's opinion, the most important and critical policy that affects the financial condition and results of operations. This critical policy involves the most difficult and complex judgments about the unknown losses that currently exist in the Company's largest asset, its loan portfolio. Page 12 ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES AND PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES The provision for loan losses was $135,000 and $90,000 for the six month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 respectively. The allowance for loan losses ("ALL") was $1,319,000 (.86% of loans) at the end of the first six months of 2008 compared with $1,186,000 (.80% of loans) at December 31, 2007. The ALL increase was caused primarily by the increased provision to the allowance during the first six months of 2008. The Company continues to monitor the loan portfolio for signs of weakness or developing credit problems. Loan loss provision for each period is determined after evaluating the loan portfolio and determining the level of reserves necessary to absorb current charge-offs and maintain the reserve at adequate levels. See Note 4 for the amounts. 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. Managements' valuation of the ALL is based upon two principals of accounting: 1) SFAS No. 5 Accounting for Contingencies and SFAS No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan. The Company utilizes both of theses accounting standards by first identifying problem loans above a certain threshold and estimating losses based on the underlying collateral values, and second taking the remainder of the loan portfolio and separating the portfolio into pools of loans based on grade of loans as determined by the Company's internal grading system. We apply loss percentages based upon our historical loss rates, and make adjustments based on economic conditions. The determination of the ALL is subjective and actual losses may be more or less than the amount of the allowance. However management believes that the allowance is a fair estimate of losses that exists in the loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OVERVIEW Net income of $1,237,000 for the first six months of 2008 represents an increase of 5.28% compared to the same period a year ago. Annualized returns on average equity and average assets for the six months ended June 30, 2008 were 9.05% and 1.24%, respectively, compared with 9.08% and 1.28% for the same period in 2007. The increase in income is primarily due to an increase in noninterest income as indicated by a $145,000 increase over the same period in 2007. Net interest income for the period was fairly flat compared to the same period in 2007. NET INTEREST INCOME As the Company has seen its net interest income before provision for loan losses increase in the first six months of 2008 compared to a year earlier, this small increase is due to increase volume of loans, not from increase in the net interest margin. Tax equivalent net yield on interest earning assets fell from 4.63% for the first six months of 2007 to 4.18% for the same period in 2008. Average earning assets increased by 7.81% of the same period a year ago and average interest bearing liabilities increased 9.82%. Table I shows that the Company's taxable equivalent net interest income decreased by 2.76% for the first six months of 2008 compared to the first six months of 2007. This decrease is due primarily to the large drop in the yield on average earning assets. This decrease resulted not only from the drop in interest rates, as the Federal Reserve has dropped Fed Funds rate by 325 basis points since beginning of August 2007, but also from the change in the way the Company recognizes loan fee income. In January 2008, the Company began following the Financial Accounting Standard (FAS) No. 91 Accounting for Nonrefundable Fees and Costs Associated with Originating or Acquiring Loans and Initial Direct Costs of Leases ("FAS 91"). FAS 91 was issued in December 1986 by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and was effective for years beginning after December 15, 1987. FAS 91 establishes the accounting for nonrefundable fees and costs associated with lending, Page 13 commitments to lend, or purchasing a loan or a group of loans. The main effect to the Company with this adoption, is that now the Company will amortize the loan fees we collect over the life of the loan. This amortization adjusts the yield on the loans. In addition, the Company will also amortize the direct costs that the Company incurs on originating loans. This also affects the yield on loans. The Company has measured the effect on income and the financial condition of the Company since the effective date of FAS 91 and has determined it is not material. However while the net effect is not material it does lower our net yield on earning assets as shown in Table 1, since historically all nonrefundable loan fees have been included in the calculation of interest income on loans. This has the affect of lowering the net yield on interest earning assets as shown in Table I by 22 basis points.

The increase was largely due to earnings the Company recognized on it's Subsidiary's Bank Owned Life Insurance (BOLI) investment. This investment in BOLI has provided $87,000 in noninterest income in the first half of 2008 and none of this was present in 2007. In addition, increases of $53,000 in deposit service charges, $24,000 in a combination of ATM fees and debit card fee income all boosted the Company's noninterest income for the first half of 2008. NONINTEREST EXPENSES Total noninterest expense increased $47,000 or 1.77% for the first six months of 2008, as compared to 2007. Salaries and benefits increased by 0.84% due to the increase in the number of employees, merit increases, and higher benefit costs. This increase was held down by the adoption of FAS 91. As mentioned under the net interest income section above, FAS 91 requires the incremental direct costs of completing a loan to be deferred and amortized over the life of the loan adjusting the net yield. This deferral of loan costs had the effect of reducing salary expense by $178,000 for the first six months of 2008. After adding back the cost deferral under FAS 91, our total salary and benefit expense increased by 13.24%. The number of employees as measured by full time equivalents (FTE) increased by 3.5 or 5.83% in the first six months of 2008, as compared to the same period of 2007. Salary and benefit costs increases were led by a 28.13% increase in benefit costs. Other expenses increased by approximately $35,000 or 2.87%. Some of the reasons for this increase include $12,000 increase in ATM fees, $9,000 increase in directors fees due to increased meeting fees and increased meetings, and $8,000 increase in dues and memberships during the first half 2008 over the same period in 2007. INCOME TAX EXPENSE Income tax expense equaled 27.32% of income before income taxes for the first six months of 2008 compared with 27.33% for the same period of 2007. 2007 taxes were lower than normal due to a $10,000 refund received on an amended tax issue from the 2003 tax year. 2008 taxes are being reduced to an increased amount of tax exempt income, particularly the income from the BOLI investment as discussed above in non interest income section. LOANS AND PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSS Total loans were $153,681,000 at June 30, 2008 as compared to $147,971,000 at December 31, 2007, representing a 3.86% increase. This loan growth came primarily from real estate and commercial loans. A schedule of loans by type is shown in Note 3 to the financial statements. The breakdown of loan growth as shown in Note 3 is a 3.11% increase in our residential real estate loans, 3.13% growth in commercial loans. Approximately 84% of the loan portfolio is secured by real estate at June 30, 2008. LOAN PORTFOLIO RISK FACTORS Nonperforming loans include nonaccrual loans, loans over 90 days past due and restructured loans. Nonaccrual loans are loans in which interest accruals have been discontinued. Loans are placed in a nonaccrual status when management has information that indicates that principal or interest may not be collectable. Restructured loans are loans for which a borrower has been granted a concession on the interest rate or the original repayment terms because of financial difficulties. Page 15 The following table summarizes the Company's nonperforming loans at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 (in thousands of dollars): JUNE 30, DECEMBER 31, 2008 2007 -------- ------------ Nonaccrual loans $ 78 $ 9 Restructured loans 141 143 Loans delinquent 90 days or more 1,075 969 ------ ------ Total Nonperforming Loans $1,294 $1,121 ====== ====== DEPOSITS The Company's deposits increased $8,410,000 or 5.35% during the first six months of 2008. A schedule of deposits by type is shown in the balance sheets. The primary reason for this increase was the increase in certificates of deposits (CDs). Much of this growth it is believed to be due to a "flight to quality" as customers seek safe investments due to recent decreases in the equity markets. Time deposits of $100,000 or more were 17.49% and 17.04% of total deposits at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. BORROWINGS 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 periods of loan growth, FHLB borrowings have been utilized to help fund the loan growth. These borrowings have a fixed rate of interest and are amortized over a period of 5 to 20 years. Interest rates on these obligations range from 2.46% to 5.61%. 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 13.54% at June 30, 2008 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 June 30, 2008, the Company had liquid assets of approximately $5.4 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 June 30, 2008. 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 $81.3 million. Page 16 At June 30, 2008, the Company had a negative cumulative Gap Rate Sensitivity Ratio of 29.69% for the one year repricing period. This rate reflects a very conservative estimate since we show an immediate runoff of accounts without a specific maturity date, and 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 -14.80%. This indicates that the Company is liability sensitive. But this negative gap ratio is within guidelines set by the Company and the Company expects 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 community bank operating in a rural environment. Table II shows the Company's interest sensitivity. TABLE II 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. Page 17 ITEM 3.
