WESMARK FUNDS
PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

Dear Shareholder:

I am pleased to present the combined Annual Report for the WesMark Funds. This report covers the 12-month period from February 1, 2001 through January 31, 2002. It gives you a complete picture of each fund's operation, beginning with each portfolio manager's overview of the market and fund strategy, followed by a complete list of fund holdings and the financial statements.

The 12-month reporting period was positive for bonds, while stocks recorded negative returns. It's important to remember that the short-term volatility, while painful, is part of stock investing. Positive stock performance is best pursued over time--in several years if not decades.

WesMark Small Company Growth Fund is managed to help your money pursue capital appreciation. To pursue that objective, the fund invests in a diversified portfolio of common stocks of small-sized companies with above-average potential for price appreciation.1 During the reporting period, difficult market conditions for small company stocks caused the value of the fund's holdings to decline, resulting in a (negative) total return of (24.53)%.2 The fund paid a capital gain distribution of $0.21 per share. On the last day of the reporting period, the fund's net assets totaled $23.0 million.

WesMark Growth Fund is managed to help your money grow over time. To pursue that objective, the fund invests in a diversified portfolio of stocks selected for their long-term potential to provide above-average returns. At the end of the reporting period, the fund's holdings included such well-known names as AOL Time Warner, Dell Computer, CISCO Systems, Inc., PepsiCo, Pfizer and Wal-Mart. During the reporting period difficult market conditions for growth stocks caused the value of the fund's holdings to decline. As a result, the fund produced a (negative) total return of (17.23)%.2 The fund paid dividend distributions totaling $0.03 per share and a capital gain distribution totaling $0.59 per share. On the last day of the reporting period, the fund's net assets were $241.3 million.

WesMark Balanced Fund pursues capital appreciation and income by investing in a diversified portfolio of stocks and bonds. At the end of the reporting period, 66.9% of the fund's portfolio was invested primarily in high-quality common and preferred stocks. The rest of the portfolio was invested primarily across U.S. government agency bonds and investment-grade corporate bonds. During the reporting period, the fund paid monthly income dividends totaling $0.21 per share as well as a capital gain totaling $0.22 per share. A difficult market for stocks caused the value of the fund's stock holdings to decline. As a result, the fund produced a (negative) (12.40)% total return.2 At the end of the reporting period, the fund's total net assets totaled $77.8 million.

WesMark Bond Fund is managed to help your money earn a high level of current income by investing in a diversified portfolio of high-quality bonds. At the end of the reporting period, the fund's $158.1 million portfolio was invested primarily across government agency bonds and investment-grade corporate bonds. During the reporting period, the fund paid monthly income dividends totaling $0.53 per share while the net asset value increased by $0.11. The income distributions and net asset value increase resulted in a 6.61% total return.2

WesMark West Virginia Municipal Bond Fund is managed to help your money earn income free from federal income tax and West Virginia state income tax.3 To pursue that objective, it invests in a portfolio of high-quality bonds issued by West Virginia municipalities. During the reporting period, the fund paid double tax-free income dividends totaling $0.44 per share. The fund's net asset value increased by $0.05 per share. Through the distributions and net asset value increase, the fund produced a positive total return of 4.92%.2 At the end of the reporting period, the fund's net assets totaled $65.6 million.

Thank you for pursuing your financial goals through the diversification and professional management of the WesMark Funds.

Sincerely,

/s/Peter J. Germain

Peter J. Germain
President

WESMARK SMALL COMPANY GROWTH FUND
INVESTMENT REVIEW

The NASDAQ Composite Index1 had a (negative) return of (20.7)% last year following a (negative) (39.3)% return in the year 2000. This two-year decline will rank among the most severe bear markets in modern financial history. Somewhat surprisingly, even after this major decline, the NASDAQ Composite Index has provided an annualized return of 12.8% over the last 10 years. Over the same time frame, the Standard and Poor's 500 Index ("S&P 500")2 has returned 12.9%. Historically, small-cap stocks have outperformed large-cap stocks. The market decline of the past two years has erased the positive performance experienced by the NASDAQ Index over the prior eight years.

The NASDAQ Composite Index is now trading at 2.4 times sales of the companies that are in the Index as compared to 1.5 times sales for the companies in the S&P 500. Price-earnings ratio comparisons are not meaningful at the current time due to the depressed earnings likely to be reported this year which Fund management believes represents a cyclical trough. In our view, small companies will again reassert more positive sales and earnings growth rates in the future as the economy recovers. It seems quite reasonable to expect small companies to report sales and earnings growth rates that are higher than large-cap stocks.

For the year, the fund realized a (negative) return of (24.5)% as compared to (16.3)% for the Lipper Small-Cap Growth Fund Index3 and (3.5)% for the Russell 2000 Index.4 The portfolio has focused primarily on technology related companies with this sector of the portfolio representing 42%. Energy is the second largest sector representing 13%, while financial services represent 8% and telecommunications an additional 8%. Technology is among the most cyclical industries in the economy and is much more cyclical than the other three sectors of focus. During the fourth quarter of 2001, many technology companies began to report that earnings had begun to rise after declining for the prior 18 months. Importantly, many leading technology companies were able to report substantial improvements in profit margins reflecting management actions to reduce costs. As the economy recovers in 2002, the technology sector should begin to experience renewed sales growth, which, when combined with enhanced profitability, should result in the beginnings of a strong upturn in earnings. Fund management believes that, although current price-earnings ratios are still relatively high, that valuation of technology companies based on long-term trendline earnings per share indicates a more moderate level of valuation. We believe that there are compelling long-term opportunities to those who are able to develop products and services in the technology sector which enhance productivity. We believe that this sector has been a major engine of economic growth in the United States in the past and will continue to be an engine of growth in the future. The focus on the energy sector in the fund is primarily related to the natural gas industry. Stocks that are included in the fund are among those who produce, transport, and explore for natural gas. Fund management believes there has been a major shift in demand for natural gas related to the relatively favorable cost of this fuel, the favorable pollution characteristics, and the low capital requirements to construct gas-fired electric generating plants. Continued growth in space heating demand as a result of growth in the economy combined with strong growth from the electric generating sector is expected to result in higher prices for this fuel in the future.

The telecommunications industry is undergoing major financial stress as a consequence of over-expansion resulting from the Telecommunications Deregulation Act of 1996 as well as the deployment of wireless telecommunications services. This difficult period is likely to continue in the year 2002, but eventually will result in industry consolidation, reduced price competition, and a return to positive growth. Stock prices have undergone a major contraction in the past two years. The Fund management believes that the currently depressed valuation reflects near-term concern regarding financial stress but does not adequately reflect the long-term growth prospects in the industry.

WESMARK GROWTH FUND
INVESTMENT REVIEW

This economy experienced what is generally being agreed upon by economists as the first recession since 1991. In addition to the economic downturn, the financial markets were negatively impacted by the attacks on September 11 against the World Trade Center and the bankruptcy filing of Enron. While the economy withstood the impact of these events relatively well, corporate profits experienced the worse yearly decline since 1975. The impact on stock prices was somewhat cushioned by the aggressive Federal Reserve Board policy of reducing interest rates eleven times during the year. Although the Standard and Poor's 500 Index ("S&P 500")1 by the end of September had declined by 20.4%, a strong recovery in the fourth quarter limited the yearly decline to 13%. Management believes that this recovery in the stock market in the fourth quarter, which occurred against a news background that was becoming increasingly negative, is a positive omen for a rebound in not only the economy but corporate profits in the current year.

The portfolio has focused on four sectors: pharmaceuticals, financial services, energy and technology. Management believes the long-term earnings per share growth in these sectors are among the most positive in the overall economy and that, although these sectors did not necessarily perform as well as expected in 2001, management continues to expect long-term performance to be above average. Technology is among the most cyclical industries in the economy and is much more cyclical than the other three sectors of focus. During the fourth quarter of 2001, many technology companies began to report that earnings had begun to rise after declining for the prior 18 months. Importantly, many leading technology companies were able to report substantial improvements in profit margins reflecting management actions to reduce costs. As the economy recovers in 2002, the technology sector should begin to experience renewed sales growth, which, when combined with enhanced profitability, should result in the beginning of a st rong upturn in earnings. Fund management believes that, although current price-earnings ratios are still relatively high, that valuation of technology companies based on long-term trendline earnings per share indicates a more moderate level of valuation. We believe that there are compelling long-term opportunities to those who are able to develop products and services in the technology sector which enhance productivity. We believe that this sector has been a major engine of economic growth in the United States in the past and will continue to be an engine of growth in the future. The focus on the energy sector in the fund is primarily related to the natural gas industry. Stocks that are included in the fund are among those who produce, transport, and explore for natural gas. Fund management believes there has been a major shift in demand for natural gas related to the relatively favorable cost of this fuel, the favorable pollution characteristics, and the low capital requirements to construct gas-fired elect ric generating plants. Continued growth in space heating demand as a result of growth in the economy combined with strong growth from the electric generating sector is expected to result in higher prices for this fuel in the future. The pharmaceutical industry is benefiting from demographic trends combined with the fact that the industry provides a cost effective method of treating disease through pharmaceuticals rather than other forms of healthcare. Fund management believes that the pharmaceutical industry is on the verge of a major upturn in research and development productivity, which is expected to lead to stronger industry earnings growth in the years ahead. Financial services earnings per share growth is resulting from wealth accumulation. The United States personal savings rate is expected to rise significantly in the years ahead as a result of attitudinal change and demographics, as well as renewed economic growth. Consolidation within the industry will permit reduced costs and thereby enhance profitability.

Return for the Fund for 2002 was (negative) (17.2)% vs. (16.1)% for the S&P 500 and (17.3)% for the Lipper Large-Cap Core.2 Although the Fund's performance did not exceed that of the Standard and Poor's 500, continued positive returns compared to the Lipper Universe of Large-Cap Equity Core Funds was a positive development during the year.

WESMARK BALANCED FUND
INVESTMENT REVIEW

The WesMark Balanced Fund provided a (negative) total return of (12.4)% for the 12 months ended January 31, 2002 compared to (7.4)% for the Lipper Balanced Fund Average.1 The fund's performance was impacted by the asset allocation decision to maintain the equity exposure above 60% and thereby limiting exposure to the fixed income sector. The fixed income markets strength during the reporting period contributed to the return but the asset allocation decision limited the degree of participation. We continue to believe that the returns offered by the equity markets over the long term will be attractive and that the portfolio should maintain its' equity weighting near the upper policy limit over the next fiscal period. Fund net assets were $77.8 million at year-end.

The Federal Reserve Board ("Fed") reduced interest rates 11 times during the year to historically low levels in an attempt to reverse the economic downtrend that was occurring. The Fed is not expected to be quick in reversing this course. The result was an unusually steep yield curve as short term interest rates were influenced by the activity of the Fed and intermediate and long term interest rates reflected concerns of higher federal budget deficits and the possibility of an increase in inflation as the economy moves from recession into recovery. We have not experienced any inflationary pressures as yet and expect that these concerns will prove to be premature. While the economy is not yet out of the woods, we believe the positive response by the consumer to lower interest rates and the eventual contribution from corporations through increased capital expenditures will advance the recovery. Credit spreads have widened significantly in recent months in response to financing concerns heightened by the events at Enron, Global Crossing and others. Strength in corporate bond performance will be dependent upon a bottoming of the credit cycle and improvement in fundamentals. The corporate sector of the fixed income portfolio was reduced during the year and the agency and mortgage securities increased in response to credit concerns.

In the months since September 11, the financial markets and consumers in particular have shown surprising resiliency. However, the slowdown that had begun months earlier became an official recession and corporate profits experienced their worst yearly decline since 1975. Stock prices responded to this recession with the Standard & Poor's 500 Index1 declining 20.4% during the first 9 months of calendar 2001. A strong recovery during the fourth quarter tempered this decline for the full year. The equity market's performance during the fourth quarter reflects the expectations for a recovery in the economy and corporate profits. The equity portfolio is focused on pharmaceuticals, financial services and energy. These areas are expected to benefit from current demographics trends, industry consolidation, demand increases and the overall expected economic recovery.

WESMARK BOND FUND
INVESTMENT REVIEW

The Federal Reserve Board ("Fed") reduced interest rates 11 times during the 12-month period ending January 31, 2002. This was in response to the deteriorating economic environment that ultimately resulted in recession as growth turned negative during the third quarter of 2001. Expectations for a recovery are building and in part are responsible for the steep yield curve. For many sectors of the high quality bond universe interest rates actually increased during the year as the markets anticipated an economic recovery in 2002.

Corporate bond yield spreads remain wide relative to historical levels. The current weak economic and profit environment has contributed to these spreads. We continue to closely monitor the credit quality of the portfolio and have reduced exposure to the corporate sector where appropriate. Low absolute yields in treasuries have made agency debt and mortgage backed securities our sectors of choice. Continued market movement away from risk caused agency yield spreads to tighten relative to Treasury securities. Confidence in the success of current fiscal and monetary policy in igniting capital spending and strengthening consumer demand is expected to cause corporate yield spreads to return to more normal levels. Inflation remains a very distant threat and the posture of the Fed is not expected to change quickly.

The portfolio had net assets of $161.8 at year-end. Corporate securities represented 56.9% of the total and government agencies and mortgage-backed securities represented 38.2%. The fund's average duration was reduced from 5.5 years to 5.3 years1 as a decision was made to shorten maturities in response to our expectations of rising interest rates going forward. The total return for fiscal 2002 was 6.6%. This compares to 6.5% and 7.8% for the Lipper Intermediate Investment Grade Debt Index2 and Lehman Brothers Intermediate Government/Credit Index,3 respectively.

1 Duration is a measure of a security's price sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Securities with longer durations are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than securities of shorter durations.

2 Lipper indexes are an average of the total return of the 30 largest mutual funds designated by Lipper Analytical Services as falling into the category indicated. They do no reflect sales charges. This index is unmanaged, and investments cannot be made in an index.

3 Lehman Brothers Intermediate Government/Credit Index is an unmanaged market value weighted performance benchmark for government and corporate fixed-rate debt issues with maturities between one and ten years.

WESMARK WEST VIRGINIA MUNICIPAL BOND FUND
INVESTMENT REVIEW

The Federal Reserve Board ("Fed") reduced interest rates 11 times for a total of 4.75% during the 12-month period ending January 31, 2002. The Fed actions were in response to a deteriorating economic environment that ultimately led to the U.S. economy slipping into recession by the third quarter of 2001. The actions of the Fed reduced short-term interest rates to levels not seen in a generation. Long-term yields remained stubbornly high, however, as investors continued to look past the current economic slow-down and towards an economic recovery in 2002. This created a relatively steep yield curve with the spread between 3 month Treasury Bills and 30 year Treasury Bonds increasing from 0.48% as of January 31, 2001 to 3.70% one year later.

The municipal bond market was subject to the same factors as the U.S. Treasury market. The slope of the yield curve increased as short-term AAA rated municipal bond yields dropped from 3.08% as of February 1, 2001 to 1.27% as of January 31, 2002 and long-term rates remained stable. The decline in yields experienced by municipal bonds was much less pronounced than that of U.S. Treasury Notes. This was due to the reduced issuance of Treasury securities and their perceived safety in times of economic and political turmoil. This situation made the yields on municipal securities attractive when compared to Treasuries.

West Virginia was not immune to the economic factors that effected the United States over the past year. Economic growth slowed during the year and fewer jobs were created. However, the unemployment rate continued to decline due to a shrinking labor force. West Virginia continued its transformation by adding jobs in service related industries, which offset the losses in economically sensitive areas such as mining, metal production and chemical production. The economic diversification should benefit the state in the event of a continued decline in the national economy. Another factor contributing to the performance of bonds issued by the state and its political subdivisions is the lack of new supply. Even though issuance of municipal bonds was up sharply across the country, West Virginia did not see dramatic increase. The State of West Virginia ranked 48th nationally in the volume of fixed income transactions.

The primary investment strategy has been to invest in high quality intermediate term bonds with good call structures. Throughout the year an effort was made to reduce the funds duration in order to capitalize on gains achieved over the past year.1 This strategy, along with the rising unit price, had the effect of reducing the effective yield of the fund during the year.

The fund provided a total return of 4.92% for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2002. The income return for the year was 4.43% and 100% of the income was exempt from federal and state income tax for West Virginia residents. The 30-day taxable equivalent yield for West Virginia residents in the 27% tax bracket was 5.0%. As of January 31, 2002, the 30-day SEC yield2 was 3.52%. As of January 31, 2002 we continued to focus on high quality bonds with 66.4% of the of the fund invested in bonds rated AAA.3

1 Duration is a measure of a security's price sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Securities with longer durations are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than securities of shorter durations.

2 The 30-day SEC yield is calculated by dividing the net investment income per share for the 30 days ended on the date of calculation by the maximum offering price per share on that date. The figure is then compounded and annualized.

3 These ratings pertain only to the securities in the portfolio and do not protect fund shares against market risk.

Growth of $10,000 invested in WesMark West Virginia Municipal Bond Fund

The graph below illustrates the hypothetical investment of $10,000* in the WesMark West Virginia Municipal Bond Fund (the "Fund")** from January 31, 1992 to January 31, 2002, compared to the Lehman Brothers 5 Year G.O. Bond Index ("LB5GO")*** and Lipper Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds Average ("LIMDFA").†

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The line graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so when shares are redeemed, they may be worth more or less than original cost. Mutual funds are not obligations of or guaranteed by any bank and are not federally insured.

* Represents a hypothetical investment of $10,000 in the Fund. Effective August 8, 2000 the maximum sales charge is 3.75% ($10,000 minus $375 sales charge = $9,625), prior to this date there was no sales charge in effect. The Fund's performance assumes the reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. The LB5GO and the LIMDFA have been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of dividends on securities in the index and average.

** WesMark West Virginia Municipal Bond Fund is the successor to a common trust fund. The quoted performance data includes performance of the common trust fund for the period from 12/31/90 to 4/14/1997, when the Fund first commenced operation, as adjusted to reflect the Fund's anticipated expenses. The common trust fund was not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("1940 Act") and therefore was not subject to certain investment restrictions imposed by the 1940 Act. If the common trust fund had been registered under the 1940 Act, the performance may have been adversely affected.

*** The LB5GO is not adjusted to reflect sales charges, expenses, or other fees that the Securities and Exchange Commission requires to be reflected in the Fund's performance. The index is unmanaged.

† Lipper figures represent the average of the total returns reported by all of the mutual funds designated by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. as falling into the respective categories indicated. These figures do not reflect sales charges.

†† Total returns reflect all applicable sales charges.

WESMARK FUNDS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

January 31, 2002

(1) Organization

WesMark Funds (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act"), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust consists of five portfolios (individually referred to as the "Fund", or collectively as the "Funds") which are presented herein:

 

Portfolio Name       Diversification      Investment Objective

 

  WesMark Small Company
Growth Fund ("Small
Company Growth Fund")
  diversified   to achieve capital appreciation  
  WesMark Growth Fund
("Growth Fund")
  diversified   to achieve capital appreciation  
  WesMark Balanced Fund
("Balanced Fund")
  diversified   to achieve capital appreciation and income  
  WesMark Bond Fund
("Bond Fund")
  diversified   to achieve high current income consistent
with preservation of capital
 
  WesMark West Virginia
Municipal Bond Fund
("West Virginia Municipal
Bond Fund")
  non-diversified   to achieve current income which is
exempt from federal income tax and
income taxes imposed by the State of
West Virginia
 

The assets of each portfolio are segregated and a shareholder's interest is limited to the portfolio in which shares are held.

On August 8, 2000, the Small Company Growth Fund received a tax-free transfer of assets from a Common Trust Fund as follows:

(1) Unrealized Appreciation is included in the Common Trust Fund Net Assets Received amount shown above.

(2) Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Investment Valuation--U.S. government securities, listed corporate bonds, and other fixed income and asset-backed securities are generally valued at the mean of the latest bid and asked price as furnished by an independent pricing service. Listed equity securities are valued at the last sale price reported on a national securities exchange. Short-term securities are valued at the prices provided by an independent pricing service. However, short-term securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less at the time of purchase may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair market value. Investments in other open-end regulated investment companies are valued at net asset value. Securities for which no quotations are readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith using methods approved by the Board of Trustees (the "Trustees").

Investment Income, Expenses and Distributions--Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. All discounts/premiums are accreted/amortized for financial reporting purposes as required. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at fair value.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for net operating losses. The following reclassifications have been made to the financial statements.

Net investment income, net realized gains/losses and net assets were not affected by this reclassification.

Change in Accounting Principle--Effective February 1, 2001, the West Virginia Municipal Bond Fund adopted the provisions of the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies and began amortizing short-term and long-term discounts on debt securities. Prior to February 1, 2001, the West Virginia Municipal Bond Fund did not amortize short-term and long-term discounts on debt securities. The cumulative effect of this accounting change had no impact on the total net assets of the West Virginia Municipal Bond Fund, but resulted in a decrease in cost of securities and a corresponding $29,733 decrease in net unrealized appreciation, and an increase to undistributed net investment income of $29,733 based on securities held by the Fund at February 1, 2001.

The effect of this change for the year ended January 31, 2002 was to increase net investment income by $22,649, decrease net realized gain by $(9,288) and decrease net unrealized appreciation by $(13,361). The Statement of Changes in Net Assets and Financial Highlights for prior periods have not been restated to reflect this change in presentation.

Federal Taxes--It is each Fund's policy to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the "Code") applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of their income. Accordingly, no provisions for federal tax are necessary.

Withholding taxes on foreign interest and dividends have been provided for in accordance with applicable country's rules and rates.

At January 31, 2002, the Funds, for federal tax purposes, had capital loss carryforwards which will reduce the Funds' taxable income arising from future net realized gain on investments, if any to the extent permitted by the Code, and thus will reduce the amount of the distributions to shareholders which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Funds of any liability for federal tax. Pursuant to the Code, such capital loss carryforwards will expire as follows:

When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions--The Funds may engage in when-issued or delayed delivery transactions. The Funds record when-issued securities on the trade date and maintain security positions such that sufficient liquid assets will be available to make payment for the securities purchased. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis are marked to market daily and begin earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may occur on these transactions due to changes in market conditions or the failure of counterparties to perform under the contract.

Restricted Securities--Restricted securities are securities that may only be resold upon registration under federal securities laws or in transactions exempt from such registration. In some cases, the issuer of restricted securities has agreed to register such securities for resale, at the issuer's expense either upon demand by the Fund or in connection with another registered offering of the securities. Many restricted securities may be resold in the secondary market in transactions exempt from registration. Such restricted securities may be determined to be liquid under criteria established by the Trustees. The Fund will not incur any registration costs upon such resales. The Fund's restricted securities are valued at the price provided by dealers in the secondary market or, if no market prices are available, at the fair value as determined by the Funds' pricing committee.

Additional information on the restricted security held by West Virginia Municipal Bond Fund at January 31, 2002 is as follows:

Use of Estimates--The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, expenses and revenues reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimated.

Other--Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.

(3) Shares of Beneficial Interest

The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest (without par value).

Growth Fund

The Adviser may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee and/or reimburse certain operating expenses of the Funds. The Adviser can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver and/or reimbursement at any time at its sole discretion.

Administrative Fee--Federated Services Company ("FServ") provides the Funds with certain administrative personnel and services. The fee paid to FServ is based on a scale that ranges from 0.150% to 0.075% of the average aggregate net assets of the Trust for the period, subject to a $75,000 minimum per portfolio.

Distribution (12b-1) Fee--The Funds have adopted a Distribution Plan (the "Plan") pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. Under the terms of the Plan, the Funds may compensate Edgewood Services, Inc., the principal distributor, from the net assets of the Funds to finance activities intended to result in the sale of each Fund's shares. The Plan provides that the Funds may incur distribution expenses up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Funds' shares, annually, to compensate Edgewood Services, Inc. For the year ended January 31, 2002, the Funds did not incur fees under the Plan.

Shareholder Services Fee--Under the terms of a Shareholder Services Agreement with WesBanco Trust and Investment Services ("WesBanco"), the Funds may pay WesBanco up to 0.25% of average daily net assets for the period. The fee paid to WesBanco is used to finance certain services for shareholders and to maintain shareholder accounts.

Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent Fees and Expenses--FServ, through its subsidiary, Federated Shareholder Services Company ("FSSC") serves as transfer and dividend disbursing agent for the Funds. The fee paid to FSSC is based on the size, type, and number of accounts and transactions made by shareholders.

Portfolio Accounting Fees--FServ maintained the Funds' accounting records for which it received a fee through December 31, 2001. The fee was based on the level of each Fund's average daily net assets for the period, plus out-of-pocket expenses. As of January 1, 2002, the Fund's accounting records have been maintained by State Street Bank and Trust Company, for a fee based on the level of each Fund's average daily net assets for the period.

Custodian Fees--WesBanco is the Funds' custodian. The fee is based on the level of each Fund's average daily net assets for the period, plus out-of-pocket expenses.

Organizational Expense--Organizational expenses of $5,607 for Growth Fund and $6,169 for West Virginia Municipal Bond Fund were borne initially by the Adviser. The Funds have agreed to reimburse the Adviser for these expenses. These expenses have been deferred and were amortized over the five-year period following each Fund's effective date. As of January 31, 2002, these expenses have been fully amortized.

Interfund Transactions--During the year ended January 31, 2002, the Funds engaged in purchase and sale transactions with funds that have common investment advisers (or affiliated investment advisers), common Directors/Trustees, and/or common Officers.

(6) Concentration of Credit Risk

Since the West Virginia Municipal Bond Fund invests a substantial portion of its assets in issuers located in one state, it will be more susceptible to factors adversely affecting issuers of that state than would be a comparable tax-exempt mutual fund that invests nationally. In order to reduce the credit risk associated with such factors, at January 31, 2002, 46.2% of the securities in the portfolio of investments are backed by letters of credit or bond insurance of various financial institutions and financial guaranty assurance agencies. The percentage of investments insured by or supported (backed) by a letter of credit from any one institution or agency did not exceed 15.7% of total investments.

Additionally, the Funds may invest a portion of its assets in securities of companies that are deemed by the Funds management to be classified in similar business sectors. The economic developments within a particular sector may have an adverse effect on the ability of issuers to meet their obligations. Additionally, economic developments may have an effect on the liquidity and volatility of portfolio securities.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of
WESMARK FUNDS:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, of WesMark Funds (the "Trust") as of January 31, 2002, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for the years ended January 31, 2001 and 2000, and the financial highlights for the periods presented. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to provide reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of the securities owned at January 31, 2002, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of WesMark Funds as of January 31, 2002, the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and its financial highlights for the respective stated periods in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
