Fund Goals, Strategies and Risks

WesMark Small Company Growth Fund

Goal

To achieve capital appreciation.

Strategy

<R>

The Fund (WesMark Small Company Growth Fund) under normal circumstances, will invest at least 80% of the value of its net assets plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes in small market capitalization investments, creating a diversified portfolio of common stocks of small-sized companies similar in size to those within the Russell 2000 Index. As of May 31, 2001, the Index's range was $180 million to $1.6 billion, but frequently changes as the market value of the stocks that comprise the index changes or as stocks are added or removed from the index. WesBanco Investment Department (Adviser), selects stocks of companies which meet certain fundamental and technical standards of selection, and have an above-average potential for appreciation. The Fund will typically invest in companies in market sectors that offer the highest growth potential, which historically have been telecom-munication, computer hardware and software, technology, health care, and biotechnology. However, the Fund may invest in other sectors if, in the Adviser's opinion, they offer a better opportunity for growth. The Adviser will select stocks of companies with growth characteristics, such as above-average earnings growth potential or where significant changes are taking place, such as new products, services, or methods of distributions, or overall business restructuring. The Fund's investment philosophy will be to select rapidly growing companies with the expectation that this rapid growth will overcome any deficiencies in either balance sheet strength or high valuation. Opportunities that are identified in more mature industries may also be selected for investment by the Fund.

Because the Fund refers to small company investments in its name, it will notify shareholders in advance of any change in its investment policies that would enable the Fund to normally invest less than 80% of its assets in small companies. The Fund will provide shareholders with at least 60 days prior notice of any changes in this policy as required by Rule 35d-1. This policy shall be interpreted and implemented in accordance with its purpose, which is solely to comply with Rule 35d-1.

</R>

Risk/Return Bar Chart and Table

<R>

The performance information shown below will help you analyze the Fund's investment risks in light of its historical returns. The bar chart shows the variability of the Fund's total returns on a calendar year-by-year basis. The Average Total Return table shows returns averaged over the stated periods, and includes comparative performance information. The Fund's performance will fluctuate, and past performance (before and after taxes) is no guarantee of future results.

</R>

<R>

The total returns shown in the bar chart do not reflect the payment of any sales charges or recurring shareholder account fees. If these charges or fees had been included, the returns shown would have been lower.

Within the period shown in the bar chart, the Fund's highest quarterly return was 53.44% (quarter ended December 31, 1999). Its lowest quarterly return was (29.97)% (quarter ended September 30, 2001).

</R>

Average Annual Total Return Table

<R>

The Average Annual Total Returns for the Fund's shares are reduced to reflect applicable sales charges. Return Before Taxes is shown. In addition, Return After Taxes is shown to illustrate the effect of federal taxes on Fund returns. Actual after-tax returns depend on each investor's personal tax situation, and are likely to differ from those shown. The table also shows returns for the Russell 2000, a broad-based market index of small company stocks, and the Lipper Small Cap Growth Funds Average (LSCGFA), an average of funds with similar objectives. Index returns do not reflect taxes, sales charges, expenses or other fees that the SEC requires to be reflected in the Fund's performance. Indexes are unmanaged, and it is not possible to invest directly in an index.

(For the periods ended December 31, 2001)

LSCGFA	(11.23	)%	(14.48)%

¹ The Fund's start of performance date was August 8, 2000.

² The Fund is the successor to the portfolio of a common trust fund (CTF) managed by the Adviser. At the Fund's commencement of operations, the CTF's assets were transferred to the Fund in exchange for Fund shares. The CTF was not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("1940 Act") and is therefore not subject to the restrictions under the 1940 Act. If the CTF had been registered under the 1940 Act, return before taxes, return after taxes on distributions and return after taxes on distributions and sales of Fund shares would have been disclosed below.

³ After-tax returns are calculated using a standard set of assumptions. The stated returns assume the highest historical federal income and capital gains tax rates. Return After Taxes on Distributions assumes a continued investment in the Fund and shows the effect of taxes on Fund distributions. Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sales of Fund Shares assumes all shares were redeemed at the end of each measurement period, and shows the effect of any taxable gain (or offsetting loss) on redemption, as well as the effects of taxes on Fund distributions. These after-tax returns do not reflect the effect of any applicable state and local taxes. After-tax returns are not relevant to investors holding shares through tax-deferred programs, such as IRA or 401(K) plans.

</R>

WesMark Growth Fund

Goal

To achieve capital appreciation.

Strategy

The Fund (WesMark Growth Fund) strives to meet its investment goal by selecting growth-oriented stocks of companies that are expected to achieve higher than average profitability ratios such as operating profit margin or return on equity. These stocks are purchased by the Fund only when their price-earnings ratio in relation to market averages such as the Standard & Poor's 500 Index (S&P 500) is within historical ranges.

<R>

Although a company's earnings may be continually growing, the Fund may sell such a company if, in the judgment of the investment adviser, WesBanco Investment Department (Adviser), its stock price is excessively overvalued.

</R>

Most often, these companies will be classified as "large-" or "mid-" capitalization companies. The Adviser generally considers companies with market capitalizations over $1 billion to fall within these classifications. The Fund's investment approach is based on the conviction that, over the long term, the economy will continue to expand and develop and that this economic growth will be reflected in the growth of the revenues and earnings of publicly held corporations. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 65% of its assets in equity securities of U.S. companies. Equity securities include common stocks, preferred stocks, and securities (including debt securities) that are convertible into common stocks.

WesMark Balanced Fund

Goal

To achieve capital appreciation and income.

Strategy

<R>

The Fund (WesMark Balanced Fund) invests in a diversified portfolio of equity and debt securities. Under normal circumstances, the asset mix of the Fund will range between 30-70% of its total assets in common stocks and convertible securities, 30-70% in preferred stock and bonds, and 0-40% in money market instruments. In order to achieve its goal of capital appreciation and income (i.e., total return), the Fund's assets will be invested mostly in stocks. WesBanco Investment Department (Adviser) will decide how the Fund's portfolio will be allocated among equity, debt, and money market securities based on economic and market conditions. However, the Fund will invest at least 25% of its assets in fixed income senior securities.

</R>

The Fund will include stocks which pay dividends and will attempt to maintain an above average dividend yield. The Adviser may use a blend of styles of selecting stocks, i.e., stocks may be selected for either their growth characteristics or value characteristics, or both. The Fund may invest in bonds of any maturity (i.e., short, intermediate, or long term). By combining bonds and stocks with above average yield, the Fund expects to dampen market volatility, provide above average income return, and achieve long-term growth higher than the rate of inflation.

The Fund will invest in debt securities rated at least investment grade.

WesMark Bond Fund

Goal

To achieve high current income consistent with preservation of capital.

Strategy

<R>

The Fund (WesMark Bond Fund) invests primarily in a professionally managed, diversified portfolio of bonds, which includes all permitted types of debt instruments. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of the value of its net assets plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes in small market capitalization investments, including repurchase agreements collateralized by such investment grade securities. Investment grade securities are securities rated in one of the top four ratings categories by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization or securities that are unrated but are determined by the WesBanco Investment Department (Adviser) to be of comparable quality. (See "Investment Ratings for Investment Grade Securities"). Downgraded securities will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis by the Adviser. The Adviser will determine whether or not the security continues to be an acceptable investment. The Fund will provide shareholders with at least 60 days prior notice of any changes in this policy as required by Rule 35d-1. This policy shall be interpreted and implemented in accordance with its purpose, which is solely to comply with Rule 35d-1.

</R>

The Fund will invest in those sectors of the bond market that offer the highest yield in relation to historical yield spreads. By recognizing changing relative yields and allocating the assets of the Fund into the most attractive market and maturity sectors, the Fund will attempt to achieve above average returns. The Fund may invest in bonds of any maturity (i.e., short, intermediate, or long term).

</R>

Because the Fund refers to fixed income investments in its name, it will notify shareholders in advance of any change in its investment policies that would enable the Fund to normally invest less than 80% of its assets in fixed income securities.

WesMark West Virginia Municipal Bond Fund

Goal

To achieve current income which is exempt from federal income tax and the income taxes imposed by the State of West Virginia.

Strategy

<R>

The Fund (WesMark West Virginia Municipal Bond Fund) attempts to achieve its investment objective by investing in a professionally managed portfolio consisting primarily of investment grade securities issued by the State of West Virginia and its political subdivisions, agencies, and authorities, and other issuers (such as possessions or territories of the U.S.), the interest of which is exempt from federal and West Virginia income tax ("West Virginia Municipal Securities"). As a matter of fundamental investment policy which may not be changed without shareholder approval, the Fund will invest its assets so that, under normal circumstances at least 80% of its net assets are invested in obligations, the interest income from which is exempt from federal income tax and income taxes imposed by the state of West Virginia. For purposes of this policy, the tax-free interest must not be a preference item for purposes of computing the federal alternative minimum tax.

WesBanco Investment Department (Adviser) will attempt to minimize market volatility by selecting intermediate term securities (securities with an average maturity generally between five and seven years). The Fund will buy and sell securities to take advantage of opportunities to enhance yield. These transactions may generate capital gains (losses) which have different tax treatment than tax-exempt interest income.

Index returns do not reflect taxes, sales charges, expenses or other fees that the SEC requires to be reflected in the Fund's performance.

PRINCIPAL RISKS OF THE FUNDS

In addition to the risks set forth below that are specific to an investment in a particular Fund, there are risks common to all mutual funds.

For example, a fund's share price may decline and an investor could lose money. Also, there is no assurance that a Fund will achieve its investment objective. The Shares offered by this prospectus are not deposits or obligations of any bank, including WesBanco Bank, ("WesBanco"), are not endorsed or guaranteed by the U.S. government, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board, or any other government agency.

<R>

¹ The value of equity securities rises and falls.

</R>

² The possibility that an issuer will default on a security by failing to pay interest or principal when due.

³ Prices of fixed income securities rise and fall in response to interest rate changes.

⁴ Value stocks depend less on price changes for returns and may lag behind growth stocks in an up market.

⁵ Growth stocks depend more on price changes for returns and may be more adversely affected in a down market compared to value stocks.

⁶ The smaller the capitalization of a company, the less liquid its stock and the more volatile its price.

⁷ An issuer may redeem a fixed income security before maturity at a price below its current market price.

⁸ The relative volatility of mortgage-backed securities is due to the likelihood of prepayments which increase in a declining interest rate environment and decrease in a rising interest rate environment.

⁹ Market sectors may underperform other sectors or the market as a whole.

¹⁰ Changes in federal tax laws may cause the prices of municipal securities to fall.

¹¹ Compared to diversified mutual funds, a non-diversified fund may invest a higher percentage of its assets among fewer issuers of portfolio securities. This increases the Fund's risk by magnifying the impact (positively or negatively) that any one issuer has on the Fund's share price and performance.

¹² The portfolio may comprise securities issued or credit enhanced by issuers located in West Virginia. Therefore, the Fund will be more susceptible to any economic, business, political or other developments which generally affect these issuers.

Example

This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the WesMark Funds ("the Funds") with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in each of the Funds for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that each Fund's operating expenses are before waivers as shown above and remain the same. Although your actual costs and returns may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

What are the Principal Securities in Which the Funds Invest?

Equity Securities

Equity securities represent a share of an issuer's earnings and assets, after the issuer pays its liabilities. A Fund cannot predict the income it will receive from equity securities because issuers generally have discretion as to the payment of any dividends or distributions. However, equity securities offer greater potential for appreciation than many other types of securities, because their value increases directly with the value of the issuer's business. The following describes the types of equity securities in which a Fund may invest.

Common Stocks

Common stocks are the most prevalent type of equity security. Common stocks receive the issuer's earnings after the issuer pays its creditors and any preferred stockholders. As a result, changes in an issuer's earnings directly influence the value of its common stock.

Preferred Stocks

Fixed Income Securities

Fixed income securities pay interest, dividends or distributions at a specified rate. The rate may be a fixed percentage of the principal or adjusted periodically. In addition, the issuer of a fixed income security must repay the principal amount of the security, normally within a specified time. Fixed income securities provide more regular income than equity securities. However, the returns on fixed income securities are limited and normally do not increase with the issuer's earnings. This limits the potential appreciation of fixed income securities as compared to equity securities.

A security's yield measures the annual income earned on a security as a percentage of its price. A security's yield will increase or decrease depending upon whether it costs less (a discount) or more (a premium) than the principal amount. If the issuer may redeem the security before its scheduled maturity, the price and yield on a discount or premium security may change based upon the probability of an early redemption. Securities with higher risks generally have higher yields.

The following describes the types of fixed income securities in which the Funds may invest.

Treasury Securities

Treasury securities are direct obligations of the federal government of the United States. Treasury securities are generally regarded as having the lowest credit risks.

Agency Securities

Agency securities are issued or guaranteed by a federal agency or other government sponsored entity acting under federal authority (a GSE). The United States supports some GSEs with its full faith and credit. Other GSEs receive support through federal subsidies, loans or other benefits. A few GSEs have no explicit financial support, but are regarded as having implied support because the federal government sponsors their activities. Agency securities are generally regarded as having low credit risks, but not as low as Treasury securities.

The Funds treat mortgage backed securities guaranteed by GSEs as agency securities. Although a GSE guarantee protects against credit risks, it does not reduce the interest rate and prepayment risks of these mortgage backed securities.

Corporate Debt Securities

Corporate debt securities are fixed income securities issued by businesses. Notes, bonds, debentures and commercial paper are the most prevalent types of corporate debt securities. A Fund may also purchase interests in bank loans to companies. The credit risks of corporate debt securities vary widely among issuers.

In addition, the credit risk of an issuer's debt security may vary based on its priority for repayment. For example, higher ranking (senior) debt securities have a higher priority than lower ranking (subordinated) securities. This means that the issuer might not make payments on subordinated securities while continuing to make payments on senior securities. In addition, in the event of bankruptcy, holders of senior securities may receive amounts otherwise payable to the holders of subordinated securities. Some subordinated securities, such as trust preferred and capital securities notes, also permit the issuer to defer payments under certain circumstances. For example, insurance companies issue securities known as surplus notes that permit the insurance company to defer any payment that would reduce its capital below regulatory requirements.

Commercial Paper

Commercial paper is an issuer's obligation with a maturity of less than nine months. Companies typically issue commercial paper to pay for current expenditures. Most issuers constantly reissue their commercial paper and use the proceeds (or bank loans) to repay maturing paper. If the issuer cannot continue to obtain liquidity in this fashion, its commercial paper may default. The short maturity of commercial paper reduces both the market and credit risks as compared to other debt securities of the same issuer.

Mortgage Backed Securities

Mortgage backed securities represent interests in pools of mortgages. The mortgages that comprise a pool normally have similar interest rates, maturities and other terms. Mortgages may have fixed or adjustable interest rates. Interests in pools of adjustable rate mortgages are known as ARMs.

Mortgage backed securities come in a variety of forms. Many have extremely complicated terms. The simplest form of mortgage backed securities are pass-through certificates. An issuer of pass-through certificates gathers monthly payments from an underlying pool of mortgages. Then, the issuer deducts its fees and expenses and passes the balance of the payments on to the certificate holders once a month. Holders of pass-through certificates receive a pro rata share of all payments and pre-payments from the underlying mortgages. As a result, the holders assume all the prepayment risks of the underlying mortgages.

Collateralized Mortgage Obligations (CMOs)

CMOs, including interests in real estate mortgage investment conduits (REMICs), allocate payments and prepayments from an underlying pass-through certificate among holders of different classes of mortgage backed securities. This creates different prepayment and market risks for each CMO class.

IOs and POs

CMOs may allocate interest payments to one class (Interest Only or IOs) and principal payments to another class (Principal Only or POs). POs increase in value when prepayment rates increase. In contrast, IOs decrease in value when prepayments increase, because the underlying mortgages generate less interest payments. However, IOs tend to increase in value when interest rates rise (and prepayments decrease), making IOs a useful hedge against interest rate risks.

Asset Backed Securities

Asset backed securities are payable from pools of obligations other than mortgages. Most asset backed securities involve consumer or commercial debts with maturities of less than ten years. However, almost any type of fixed income assets (including other fixed income securities) may be used to create an asset backed security. Asset backed securities may take the form of commercial paper, notes, or pass through certificates. Asset backed securities have prepayment risks. Like CMOs, asset backed securities may be structured like floating rate securities, IOs and POs.

Zero Coupon Securities

Zero coupon securities do not pay interest or principal until final maturity unlike debt securities that provide periodic payments of interest (referred to as a coupon payment). Investors buy zero coupon securities at a price below the amount payable at maturity. The difference between the purchase price and the amount paid at maturity represents interest on the zero coupon security. Investors must wait until maturity to receive interest and principal, which increases the interest rate and credit risks of a zero coupon security.

There are many forms of zero coupon securities. Some are issued at a discount and are referred to as zero coupon or capital appreciation bonds. Others are created from interest bearing bonds by separating the right to receive the bond's coupon payments from the right to receive the bond's principal due at maturity, a process known as coupon stripping. Treasury STRIPs, IOs and POs are the most common forms of stripped zero coupon securities. In addition, some securities give the issuer the option to deliver additional securities in place of cash interest payments, thereby increasing the amount payable at maturity. These are referred to as pay-in-kind or PIK securities.

Convertible Securities

Convertible securities are fixed income securities that a Fund has the option to exchange for equity securities at a specified conversion price. The option allows a Fund to realize additional returns if the market price of the equity securities exceeds the conversion price. For example, a Fund may hold fixed income securities that are convertible into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $10 per share. If the market value of the shares of common stock reached $12, a Fund could realize an additional $2 per share by converting its fixed income securities.

Convertible securities have lower yields than comparable fixed income securities. In addition, at the time a convertible security is issued the conversion price exceeds the market value of the underlying equity securities. Thus, convertible securities may provide lower returns than non-convertible fixed income securities or equity securities depending upon changes in the price of the underlying equity securities. However, convertible securities permit a Fund to realize some of the potential appreciation of the underlying equity securities with less risk of losing its initial investment.

The Funds treat convertible securities as both fixed income and equity securities for purposes of its investment policies and limitations, because of their unique characteristics.

Tax Exempt Securities

Tax exempt securities are fixed income securities that pay interest that is not subject to regular federal and/or state income taxes. Typically, states, counties, cities and other political subdivisions and authorities issue tax exempt securities. The market categorizes tax exempt securities by their source of repayment.

General Obligation Bonds

General obligation bonds are supported by the issuer's power to impose property or other taxes. The issuer must impose and collect taxes sufficient to pay principal and interest on the bonds. However, the issuer's authority to impose additional taxes may be limited by its charter or state law.

Special Revenue Bonds

Special revenue bonds are payable solely from specific revenues received by the issuer such as specific taxes, assessments, tolls, or fees. Special revenue bondholders may not collect from the municipality's general taxes or revenues. For example, a municipality may issue bonds to build a toll road, and pledge the tolls to repay the bonds. Therefore, a shortfall in the tolls could result in a default on the bonds.

Private Activity Bonds

Private activity bonds are special revenue bonds used to finance private entities. For example, a municipality may issue bonds to finance a new factory to improve its local economy. The municipality would lend the proceeds from its bonds to the company using the factory, and the company would agree to make loan payments sufficient to repay the bonds. The bonds would be payable solely from the company's loan payments, not from any other revenues of the municipality. Therefore, any default on the loan normally would result in a default on the bonds.

The interest on many types of private activity bonds is subject to the federal alternative minimum tax (AMT). The Fund may invest to a limited extent in bonds subject to AMT.

Tax Increment Financing Bonds

Tax increment financing (TIF) bonds are payable from increases in taxes or other revenues attributable to projects financed by the bonds. For example, a municipality may issue TIF bonds to redevelop a commercial area. The TIF bonds would be payable solely from any increase in sales taxes collected from merchants in the area. The bonds could default if merchants' sales, and related tax collections, failed to increase as anticipated.

Municipal Notes

Municipal notes are short-term tax exempt securities. Many municipalities issue such notes to fund their current operations before collecting taxes or other municipal revenues. Municipalities may also issue notes to fund capital projects prior to issuing long-term bonds. The issuers typically repay the notes at the end of their fiscal year, either with taxes, other revenues or proceeds from newly issued notes or bonds.

Variable Rate Demand Instruments

Variable rate demand instruments are tax exempt securities that require the issuer or a third party, such as a dealer or bank, to repurchase the security for its face value upon demand. The securities also pay interest at a variable rate intended to cause the securities to trade at their face value. The Funds treat demand instruments as short-term securities, because their variable interest rate adjusts in response to changes in market rates, even though their stated maturity may extend beyond thirteen months.

Municipal Leases

Municipalities may enter into leases for equipment or facilities. In order to comply with state public financing laws, these leases are typically subject to annual appropriation. In other words, a municipality may end a lease, without penalty, by not providing for the lease payments in its annual budget. After the lease ends, the lessor can resell the equipment or facility but may lose money on the sale.

A Fund may invest in securities supported by pools of municipal leases. The most common type of lease backed securities are certificates of participation (COPs). However, the Fund may also invest directly in individual leases.

Foreign Securities

Foreign securities are securities of issuers based outside the United States. The Funds consider an issuer to be based outside the United States if:

it is organized under the laws of, or has a principal office located in, another country;
the principal trading market for its securities is in another country; or
it (or its subsidiaries) derived in its most current fiscal year at least 50% of its total assets, capitalization, gross revenue or profit from goods produced, services performed, or sales made in another country.

Foreign securities are primarily denominated in foreign currencies. Along with the risks normally associated with domestic securities of the same type, foreign securities are subject to currency risks and risks of foreign investing. Trading in certain foreign markets is also subject to liquidity risks.

Depositary Receipts

Depositary receipts represent interests in underlying shares issued by a foreign company. Depositary receipts are not traded in the same market as the underlying security. American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) are also traded in U.S. dollars, eliminating the need for foreign exchange transactions. The foreign securities underlying European Depositary Receipts (EDRs), Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs), and International Depositary Receipts (IDRs), are traded globally or outside the United States. Depositary receipts involve many of the same risks of investing directly in foreign securities, including currency risks and risks of foreign investing.

Temporary Defensive Investments

The Funds may temporarily depart from their principal investment strategies by investing their assets in cash, cash items, and shorter-term, higher-quality debt securities and similar obligations. They may do this to minimize potential losses and maintain liquidity to meet shareholder redemptions during adverse market conditions. This may cause a Fund to give up greater investment returns to maintain the safety of principal, that is, the original amount invested by shareholders.

<R>

Investing in Securities of Other Investment Companies

The Fund may invest its assets in securities of other investment companies, including the securities of money market funds affiliated with Federated Investors, as an efficient means of carrying out its investment policies and managing its uninvested cash.

</R>

Investment Ratings for Investment Grade Securities

The Adviser will determine whether a security is investment grade based upon the credit ratings given by one or more nationally recognized rating services. For example, Standard and Poor's, a rating service, assigns ratings to investment grade securities (AAA, AA, A, and BBB) based on their assessment of the issuer's ability to pay interest or principal when due on each security. Lower credit ratings correspond to higher credit risk. If a security has not received a rating, a Fund must rely entirely upon the Adviser's credit assessment that the security is comparable to investment grade.

Credit Enhancement

Credit enhancement consists of an arrangement in which a company agrees to pay amounts due on a fixed income security if the issuer defaults. In some cases the company providing credit enhancement makes all payments directly to the security holders and receives reimbursement from the issuer. Normally, the credit enhancer has greater financial resources and liquidity than the issuer. For this reason, the Adviser usually evaluates the credit risk of a fixed income security based solely upon its credit enhancement.

Common types of credit enhancement include guarantees, letters of credit, bond insurance and surety bonds. Credit enhancement also includes arrangements where securities or other liquid assets secure payment of a fixed income security. If a default occurs, these assets may be sold and the proceeds paid to security's holders. Either form of credit enhancement reduces credit risks by providing another source of payment for a fixed income security.

What are the Specific Risks of Investing in the Funds?

Stock Market Risks

The value of equity securities in a Fund's portfolio will rise and fall. These fluctuations could be a sustained trend or a drastic movement. A Fund's portfolio will reflect changes in prices of individual portfolio stocks or general changes in stock valuations. Consequently, a Fund's share price may decline.
The Adviser attempts to manage market risk by limiting the amount a Fund invests in each company's equity securities. However, diversification will not protect a Fund against widespread or prolonged declines in the stock market.

Interest Rate Risks

Prices of fixed income securities rise and fall in response to interest rate changes for similar securities. Generally, when interest rates rise, prices of fixed income securities fall. However, market factors, such as the demand for particular fixed income securities, may cause the price of certain fixed income securities to fall while the prices of other securities rise or remain unchanged.
Interest rate changes have a greater effect on the price of fixed income securities with longer durations. Duration measures the price sensitivity of a fixed income security to changes in interest rates.

Credit Risks

Credit risk is the possibility that an issuer will default on a security by failing to pay interest or principal when due. If an issuer defaults, a Fund will lose money.
Many fixed income securities receive credit ratings from services such as Standard & Poor's and Moody's Investor Services. These services assign ratings to securities by assessing the likelihood of issuer default. Lower credit ratings correspond to higher credit risk. If a security has not received a rating, a Fund must rely entirely upon the Adviser's credit assessment.
Fixed income securities generally compensate for greater credit risk by paying interest at a higher rate. The difference between the yield of a security and the yield of a U.S. Treasury security with a comparable maturity (the spread) measures the additional interest paid for risk. Spreads may increase generally in response to adverse economic or market conditions. A security's spread may also increase if the security's rating is lowered, or the security is perceived to have an increased credit risk. An increase in the spread will cause the price of the security to decline.
Credit risk includes the possibility that a party to a transaction (such as a repurchase agreement) involving a Fund will fail to meet its obligations. This could cause a Fund to lose the benefit of the transaction or prevent a Fund from selling or buying other securities to implement its investment strategy.

Call and Prepayment Risks

Call risk is the possibility that an issuer may redeem a fixed income security before maturity (a call) at a price below its current market price. An increase in the likelihood of a call may reduce the security's price.
If a fixed income security is called, a Fund may have to reinvest the proceeds in other fixed income securities with lower interest rates, higher credit risks, or other less favorable characteristics.
Generally, homeowners have the option to prepay their mortgages at any time without penalty. Homeowners frequently refinance high interest rate mortgages when mortgage rates fall. This results in the prepayment of mortgage backed securities with higher interest rates. Conversely, prepayments due to refinancings decrease when mortgage rates increase. This extends the life of mortgage backed securities with lower interest rates. As a result, increases in prepayments of high interest rate mortgage backed securities, or decreases in prepayments of lower interest rate mortgage backed securities, may reduce their yield and price. This relationship between interest rates and mortgage prepayments makes the price of mortgage backed securities more volatile than most other types of fixed income securities with comparable credit risks.

Sector Risks

Companies with similar characteristics may be grouped together in broad categories called sectors. Sector risk is the possibility that a certain sector may underperform other sectors or the market as a whole. As the Adviser allocates more of a Fund's portfolio holdings to a particular sector, a Fund's performance will be more susceptible to any economic, business or other developments which generally affect that sector.

Risks Related to Investing for Growth

Due to their relatively high valuations, growth stocks are typically more volatile than value stocks. For instance, the price of a growth stock may experience a larger decline on a forecast of lower earnings, a negative fundamental development, or an adverse market development. Further, growth stocks may not pay dividends or may pay lower dividends than value stocks. This means they depend more on price changes for returns and may be more adversely affected in a down market compared to value stocks that pay higher dividends.

Risks Related to Investing for Value

Due to their relatively low valuations, value stocks are typically less volatile than growth stocks. For instance, the price of a value stock may experience a smaller increase on a forecast of higher earnings, a positive fundamental development, or positive market development. Further, value stocks tend to have higher dividends than growth stocks. This means they depend less on price changes for returns and may lag behind growth stocks in an up market.

Risks Related to Company Size

Generally, the smaller the market capitalization of a company, the fewer the number of shares traded daily, the less liquid its stock and the more volatile its price. Market capitalization is determined by multiplying the number of its outstanding shares by the current market price per share.
Companies with smaller market capitalizations also tend to have unproven track records, a limited product or service base and limited access to capital. These factors also increase risks and make these companies more likely to fail than larger, well capitalized companies.

Risks of Foreign Investing

Foreign securities pose additional risks because foreign economic or political conditions may be less favorable than those of the United States. Securities in foreign markets may also be subject to taxation policies that reduce returns for U.S. investors.
Foreign companies may not provide information (including financial statements) as frequently or to as great an extent as companies in the United States. Foreign companies may also receive less coverage than United States companies by market analysts and the financial press. In addition, foreign countries may lack uniform accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards or regulatory requirements comparable to those applicable to U.S. companies. These factors may prevent a Fund and its Adviser from obtaining information concerning foreign companies that is as frequent, extensive and reliable as the information available concerning companies in the United States.
Foreign countries may have restrictions on foreign ownership of securities or may impose exchange controls, capital flow restrictions or repatriation restrictions which could adversely affect the liquidity of a Fund's investments.

Tax Risks

In order to be tax-exempt, municipal securities must meet certain legal requirements. Failure to meet such requirements may cause the interest received and distributed by a Fund to shareholders to be taxable.
Changes or proposed changes in federal tax laws may cause the prices of municipal securities to fall.
Income from the Fund may be subject to the AMT.

West Virginia Sector Risks

Because the West Virginia Municipal Bond Fund invests primarily in issuers from a single state, the Fund may be subject to additional risks compared to funds that invest in multiple states. West Virginia's economy is heavily dependent upon certain industries, such as coal mining, manufacturing and tourism. Any downturn in these and other industries may adversely affect the economy of the state.

What do Shares Cost?

You can purchase, redeem, or exchange Shares any day the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and Federal Reserve wire system are open. When a Fund receives your transaction request in proper form, it is processed at the next determined net asset value (NAV) plus the applicable sales charge (public offering price).

NAV is determined at the end of regular trading (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) each day the NYSE is open. The Funds generally value equity securities according to the last sale price in the market in which they are primarily traded (either a national securities exchange or the over-the-counter market. Fixed income securities are generally valued at the last sale price on a national securities exchange, if available, otherwise, as determined by an independent pricing service. Short-term obligations are valued according to the mean between bid and asked prices as furnished by an independent pricing service, except that short-term obligations with remaining maturities of less than 60 days at the time of purchase may be valued at amortized cost or at fair market value as determined by the Board.

<R>

The required minimum initial investment in each Fund is $1,000, unless the investment is in an Individual Retirement Account, in which case the minimum initial investment is $500. Subsequent investments in each Fund must be in amounts of at least $100. These minimums may be waived for purchase by the Trust Division of WesBanco for its fiduciary or custodial accounts and WesBanco employees and members of their immediate families. A Fund may waive the initial minimum investment from time to time.

</R>

An institutional investor's minimum investment is calculated by combining all accounts it maintains with the Trust. Accounts established through investment professionals may be subject to a smaller minimum investment amount. Keep in mind that investment professionals may charge you fees for their services in connection with your Share transactions.

You will become the owner of Shares and receive dividends when a Fund receives your payment.

Through an Investment Professional

Establish an account with the investment professional; and
Submit your purchase order to the investment professional before the end of regular trading on the NYSE (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). You will receive the next calculated NAV if the investment professional forwards the order to the Fund on the same day and the Fund receives payment within three business days. You will become the owner of Shares and receive dividends when the Fund receives your payment.

Investment professionals should send payments according to the instructions in the sections "By Wire" or "By Check."

Through an Exchange

You may purchase Shares through an exchange from another WesMark Fund or from Automated Cash Management Trust.

By Systematic Investment Program

Once you have opened an account, you may automatically purchase additional Shares on a regular basis by completing the Systematic Investment Program (SIP) section of the New Account Form or by contacting a Fund or your investment professional. The minimum investment amount for SIPs is $100.

By Automated Clearing House (ACH)

Once you have opened an account, you may purchase additional Shares through a depository institution that is an ACH member. This purchase option can be established by completing the appropriate sections of the New Account Form.

Retirement Investments

You may purchase Shares as retirement investments (such as qualified plans and IRAs or transfer or rollover of assets). Call the Fund or your investment professional for information on retirement investments. We suggest that you discuss retirement investments with your tax adviser. You may be subject to an annual IRA account fee.

How to Redeem and Exchange Shares

You should redeem or exchange Shares:

directly from a Fund if you purchased Shares directly from a Fund; or
through an investment professional if you purchased Shares through an investment professional.

Directly From a Fund

By Telephone

You may redeem or exchange Shares by calling your account officer or WesMark Funds Shareholder Services at 1-800-864-1013 once you have completed the appropriate authorization form for telephone transactions. If you call before the end of regular trading on the NYSE (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) you will receive a redemption amount based on that day's NAV.

By Mail

You may redeem or exchange Shares by mailing a written request to a Fund.

You will receive a redemption amount based on the next calculated NAV after a Fund receives your written request in proper form.

Send requests by mail to:

WesMark Funds Shareholder Services
WesBanco Bank, Inc.
One Bank Plaza
Wheeling, WV 26003

All requests must include:

Fund Name, account number and account registration;
amount to be redeemed or exchanged;
signatures of all shareholders exactly as registered; and
if exchanging, the Fund Name, account number and account registration into which you are exchanging.

Call the Fund or your investment professional if you need special instructions.

Through Wesbanco Securities, Inc.

Shares can be redeemed or exchanged through WSI by visiting a WSI investment professional or by calling 1-800-368-3369. Once you have established your account with WSI, you may submit your redemption or exchange order to a WSI investment professional before the end of regular trading on the NYSE (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The redemption amount you will receive is based upon the next calculated NAV after a Fund receives the order from the investment professional.

Through an Investment Professional

Submit your redemption or exchange request to your investment professional by the end of regular trading on the NYSE (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The redemption amount you will receive is based upon the next calculated NAV after a Fund receives the order from your investment professional.

Signature Guarantees

Signatures must be guaranteed if:

your redemption will be sent to an address other than the address of record;
your redemption will be sent to an address of record that was changed within the last 30 days;
a redemption is payable to someone other than the shareholder(s) of record; or
if exchanging (transferring) into another fund with a different shareholder registration.

<R>

A signature guarantee is designed to protect your account from fraud. Obtain a signature guarantee from a bank or trust company, savings association, credit union, or broker-dealer, or securities exchange member. A notary public cannot provide a signature guarantee.

</R>

Payment Methods for Redemptions

Your redemption proceeds will be mailed by check to your address of record. The following payment options are available if you complete the appropriate section of the New Account Form or an Account Service Options Form. These payment options require a signature guarantee if they were not established when the account was opened:

an electronic transfer to your account at a financial institution that is an ACH member; or
wire payment to your account at a domestic commercial bank that is a Federal Reserve System member.

Redemption in Kind

Although the Funds intend to pay Share redemptions in cash, they reserve the right to pay the redemption price in whole or in part by a distribution of a Fund's portfolio securities.

Limitations on Redemption Proceeds

Redemption proceeds normally are wired or mailed within one business day after receiving a request in proper form. Payment may be delayed up to seven days:

to allow your purchase to clear;
during periods of market volatility; or
when a shareholder's trade activity or amount adversely impacts a Fund's ability to manage its assets.

You will not accrue interest or dividends on uncashed checks from a Fund if those checks are undeliverable and returned to the Fund.

Redemptions From Retirement Accounts

In the absence of your specific instructions, 10% of the value of your redemption from a retirement account in a Fund may be withheld for taxes. This withholding only applies to certain types of retirement accounts.

Exchange Privileges

You may exchange Shares of a Fund into Shares of another WesMark Fund or into shares of Automated Cash Management Trust. To do this, you must:

ensure that the account registrations are identical;
meet any minimum initial investment requirements; and
receive a prospectus for the fund into which you wish to exchange.

An exchange is treated as a redemption and a subsequent purchase, and is a taxable transaction.

A Fund may modify or terminate the exchange privilege at any time. The Funds' management or Adviser may determine from the amount, frequency and pattern of exchanges that a shareholder is engaged in excessive trading that is detrimental to a Fund and other shareholders. If this occurs, a Fund may terminate the availability of exchanges to that shareholder and may bar that shareholder from purchasing other WesMark Funds.

Systematic Withdrawal/Exchange Program

Complete the appropriate section of the New Account Form or an Account Service Options Form or contact your investment professional or the Fund. Your account value must be $10,000. This program may reduce, and eventually deplete, your account. Payments should not be considered yield or income. Generally, it is not advisable to continue to purchase Shares subject to a sales charge while redeeming Shares using this program.

Additional Conditions

Telephone Transactions

The Funds will record your telephone instructions. If a Fund does not follow reasonable procedures, it may be liable for losses due to unauthorized or fraudulent telephone instructions.

Share Certificates

The Funds do not issue share certificates.

Account and Share Information

Confirmations and Account Statements

You will receive confirmation of purchases, redemptions and exchanges (except for systematic transactions). In addition, you will receive periodic statements reporting all account activity, including systematic transactions, dividends and capital gains paid.

Dividends and Capital Gains

Dividends of the Small Company Growth Fund and Growth Fund, if any, are declared and paid quarterly. Dividends of the Balanced Fund are declared and paid monthly, and dividends of the Bond Fund and Municipal Bond Fund are declared daily and paid monthly. Dividends are paid to all shareholders invested in the Funds on the record date. The record date is the date on which a shareholder must officially own Shares in order to earn a dividend.

In addition, the Funds pay any capital gains at least annually. Your dividends and capital gains distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional Shares without a sales charge, unless you elect cash payments.

<R>

If you purchase Shares just before a Fund declares a dividend or capital gain distribution, you will pay the full price for the Shares and then receive a portion of the price back in the form of a taxable distribution, whether or not you reinvest the distribution in Shares. Therefore, you should consider the tax implications of purchasing Shares shortly before a Fund declares a dividend or capital gain. Contact your investment professional or a Fund for information concerning when dividends and capital gains will be paid.

</R>

Accounts With Low Balances

Due to the high cost of maintaining accounts with low balances, non-retirement accounts may be closed if redemptions or exchanges cause the account balance to fall below $1,000. Before an account is closed, you will be notified and allowed 30 days to purchase additional Shares to meet the minimum.

Tax Information

The Funds send an annual statement of your account activity to assist you in completing your federal, state and local tax returns. Fund distributions of dividends and capital gains are taxable to you whether paid in cash or reinvested in a Fund. Dividends are taxable as ordinary income; capital gains are taxable at different rates depending upon the length of time a Fund holds its assets.

The Small Company Growth Fund, Growth Fund, Balanced Fund and Bond Fund distributions are expected to be both dividends and capital gains.

It is anticipated that Municipal Bond Fund distributions will be primarily dividends that are exempt from federal income tax, although a portion of the Fund's dividends may not be exempt. Dividends may be subject to state and local taxes. The Fund's dividends will be exempt from West Virginia state personal income tax to the extent they are derived from interest on obligations exempt from such taxes. Capital gains and non-exempt dividends are taxable whether paid in cash or reinvested in the Fund.

Redemptions and exchanges are taxable sales. Please consult your tax adviser regarding your federal, state, and local tax liability.

SECURITIES DESCRIPTIONS AND TECHNIQUES
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Equity Securities

Equity securities represent a share of an issuer's earnings and assets, after
the issuer pays its liabilities. A Fund cannot predict the income it will
receive from equity securities because issuers generally have discretion as to
the payment of any dividends or distributions. However, equity securities offer
greater potential for appreciation than many other types of securities, because
their value increases directly with the value of the issuer's business. The
following describes the types of equity securities in which the Funds may
invest.

<R>Common Stocks

Common stocks are the most common type of equity security. While holders of
common stocks may receive a portion of the issuer's earnings in the form of
dividends, dividends are generally only paid after the issuer pays its
creditors and any preferred stockholders. In addition, issuers generally
have discretion as to the payment of any dividends. Therefore a Fund cannot
predict the income it will receive, if any, from common stocks. However,
common stocks offer greater potential for appreciation than many other
types of securities because their value generally increases with the value
of the issuer's business. As a result, changes in an issuer's earnings may
directly influence the value of its common stock.

Preferred Stocks

Preferred stocks have the right to receive specified dividends or
distributions before the issuer makes payments on its common stock. Some
preferred stocks also participate in dividends and distributions paid on
common stock. Preferred stocks may also permit the issuer to redeem the
stock. The Funds may also treat such redeemable preferred stock as a fixed
income security. Because preferred stock dividends usually must be paid
before common stock dividends, preferred stocks generally entail less risk
than common stocks. However, preferred stocks do not represent a liability
of the issuer and, therefore, do not offer as great a degree of protection
of capital or assurance of continued income as investments in corporate
debt securities.</R>

Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs)

REITs are real estate investment trusts that lease, operate and finance
commercial real estate. REITs are exempt from federal corporate income tax
if they limit their operations and distribute most of their income. Such
tax requirements limit a REIT's ability to respond to changes in the
commercial real estate market.

Warrants

Warrants give a Fund the option to buy the issuer's equity securities at a
specified price (the exercise price) at a specified future date (the
expiration date). A Fund may buy the designated securities by paying the
exercise price before the expiration date. Warrants may become worthless if
the price of the stock does not rise above the exercise price by the
expiration date. This increases the market risks of warrants as compared to
the underlying security. Rights are the same as warrants, except companies
typically issue rights to existing stockholders.

Fixed Income Securities

Fixed income securities pay interest, dividends or distributions at a specified
rate. The rate may be a fixed percentage of the principal or adjusted
periodically. In addition, the issuer of a fixed income security must repay the
principal amount of the security, normally within a specified time. Fixed income
securities provide more regular income than equity securities. However, the
returns on fixed income securities are limited and normally do not increase with
the issuer's earnings. This limits the potential appreciation of fixed income
securities as compared to equity securities.

A security's yield measures the annual income earned on a security as a
percentage of its price. A security's yield will increase or decrease depending
upon whether it costs less (a discount) or more (a premium) than the principal
amount. If the issuer may redeem the security before its scheduled maturity, the
price and yield on a discount or premium security may change based upon the
probability of an early redemption. Securities with higher risks generally have
higher yields.

The following describes the types of fixed income securities in which a Fund may
invest.

Treasury Securities

Treasury securities are direct obligations of the federal government of the
United States. Treasury securities are generally regarded as having the
lowest credit risks.

Agency Securities

Agency securities are issued or guaranteed by a federal agency or other
government sponsored entity acting under federal authority (a GSE). The United
States supports some GSEs with its full, faith and credit. Other GSEs receive
support through federal subsidies, loans or other benefits. A few GSEs have no
explicit financial support, but are regarded as having implied support because
the federal government sponsors their activities. Agency securities are
generally regarded as having low credit risks, but not as low as treasury
securities.

The Funds treat mortgage backed securities guaranteed by GSEs as agency
securities. Although a GSE guarantee protects against credit risks, it does not
reduce the interest rate and prepayment risks of these mortgage backed
securities.

Corporate Debt Securities

Corporate debt securities are fixed income securities issued by businesses.
Notes, bonds, debentures and commercial paper are the most prevalent types of
corporate debt securities. A Fund may also purchase interests in bank loans to
companies. The credit risks of corporate debt securities vary widely among
issuers.

In addition, the credit risk of an issuer's debt security may vary based on its
priority for repayment. For example, higher ranking (senior) debt securities
have a higher priority than lower ranking (subordinated) securities. This means
that the issuer might not make payments on subordinated securities while
continuing to make payments on senior securities. In addition, in the event of
bankruptcy, holders of senior securities may receive amounts otherwise payable
to the holders of subordinated securities. Some subordinated securities, such as
trust preferred and capital securities notes, also permit the issuer to defer
payments under certain circumstances. For example, insurance companies issue
securities known as surplus notes that permit the insurance company to defer any
payment that would reduce its capital below regulatory requirements.

Commercial Paper

Commercial paper is an issuer's obligation with a maturity of less than
nine months. Companies typically issue commercial paper to pay for current
expenditures. Most issuers constantly reissue their commercial paper and
use the proceeds (or bank loans) to repay maturing paper. If the issuer
cannot continue to obtain liquidity in this fashion, its commercial paper
may default. The short maturity of commercial paper reduces both the market
and credit risks as compared to other debt securities of the same issuer.

Bank Instruments

Bank instruments are unsecured interest bearing deposits with banks. Bank
instruments include bank accounts, time deposits, certificates of deposit
and banker's acceptances. Yankee instruments are denominated in U.S.
dollars and issued by U.S. branches of foreign banks. Eurodollar
instruments are denominated in U.S. dollars and issued by non-U.S. branches
of U.S. or foreign banks.

Collateralized Mortgage Obligations (CMOs)
CMOs, including interests in real estate mortgage investment conduits (REMICs),
allocate payments and prepayments from an underlying pass-through certificate among
holders of different classes of mortgage backed securities. This creates different
prepayment and market risks for each CMO class.

Sequential CMOs

In a sequential pay CMO, one class of CMOs receives all principal payments
and prepayments. The next class of CMOs receives all principal payments
after the first class is paid off. This process repeats for each sequential
class of CMO. As a result, each class of sequential pay CMOs reduces the
prepayment risks of subsequent classes.

PACs, TACs and Companion Classes

More sophisticated CMOs include planned amortization classes (PACs) and
targeted amortization classes (TACs). PACs and TACs are issued with
companion classes. PACs and TACs receive principal payments and prepayments
at a specified rate. The companion classes receive principal payments and
prepayments in excess of the specified rate. In addition, PACs will receive
the companion classes' share of principal payments, if necessary, to cover
a shortfall in the prepayment rate. This helps PACs and TACs to control
prepayment risks by increasing the risks to their companion classes.

Floaters and Inverse Floaters

Another variant allocates interest payments between two classes of CMOs.
One class (Floaters) receives a share of interest payments based upon a
market index such as the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). The other
class (Inverse Floaters) receives any remaining interest payments from the
underlying mortgages. Floater classes receive more interest (and Inverse
Floater classes receive correspondingly less interest) as interest rates
rise. This shifts prepayment and interest rate risks from the Floater to
the Inverse Floater class, reducing the price volatility of the Floater
class and increasing the price volatility of the Inverse Floater class.

Z Classes and Residual Classes

CMOs must allocate all payments received from the underlying mortgages to
some class. To capture any unallocated payments, CMOs generally have an
accrual (Z) class. Z classes do not receive any payments from the
underlying mortgages until all other CMO classes have been paid off. Once
this happens, holders of Z class CMOs receive all payments and prepayments.
Similarly, REMICs have residual interests that receive any mortgage
payments not allocated to another REMIC class.

The degree of increased or decreased prepayment risks depends upon the
structure of the CMOs. However, the actual returns on any type of mortgage
backed security depend upon the performance of the underlying pool of
mortgages, which no one can predict and will vary among pools.

Convertible Securities

Convertible securities are fixed income securities that a Fund has the option to
exchange for equity securities at a specified conversion price. The option
allows a Fund to realize additional returns if the market price of the equity
securities exceeds the conversion price. For example, a Fund may hold fixed
income securities that are convertible into shares of common stock at a
conversion price of $10 per share. If the market value of the shares of common
stock reached $12, a Fund could realize an additional $2 per share by converting
its fixed income securities.

Convertible securities have lower yields than comparable fixed income
securities. In addition, at the time a convertible security is issued the
conversion price exceeds the market value of the underlying equity securities.
Thus, convertible securities may provide lower returns than non-convertible
fixed income securities or equity securities depending upon changes in the price
of the underlying equity securities. However, convertible securities permit a
Fund to realize some of the potential appreciation of the underlying equity
securities with less risk of losing its initial investment.

The Funds treat convertible securities as both fixed income and equity
securities for purposes of their investment policies and limitations, because of
their unique characteristics.

Derivative Contracts

Derivative contracts are financial instruments that require payments based upon
changes in the values of designated (or underlying) securities, currencies,
commodities, financial indices or other assets. Some derivative contracts (such
as futures, forwards and options) require payments relating to a future trade
involving the underlying asset. Other derivative contracts (such as swaps)
require payments relating to the income or returns from the underlying asset.
The other party to a derivative contract is referred to as a counterparty.

Many derivative contracts are traded on securities or commodities exchanges. In
this case, the exchange sets all the terms of the contract except for the price.
Investors make payments due under their contracts through the exchange. Most
exchanges require investors to maintain margin accounts through their brokers to
cover their potential obligations to the exchange. Parties to the contract make
(or collect) daily payments to the margin accounts to reflect losses (or gains)
in the value of their contracts. This protects investors against potential
defaults by the counterparty. Trading contracts on an exchange also allows
investors to close out their contracts by entering into offsetting contracts.

For example, a Fund could close out an open contract to buy an asset at a future
date by entering into an offsetting contract to sell the same asset on the same
date. If the offsetting sale price is more than the original purchase price, the
Fund realizes a gain; if it is less, the Fund realizes a loss. Exchanges may
limit the amount of open contracts permitted at any one time. Such limits may
prevent a Fund from closing out a position. If this happens, the Fund will be
required to keep the contract open (even if it is losing money on the contract),
and to make any payments required under the contract (even if it has to sell
portfolio securities at unfavorable prices to do so). Inability to close out a
contract could also harm the Fund by preventing it from disposing of or trading
any assets it has been using to secure its obligations under the contract.

A Fund may also trade derivative contracts over-the-counter (OTC) in
transactions negotiated directly between a Fund and the counterparty. OTC
contracts do not necessarily have standard terms, so they cannot be directly
offset with other OTC contracts. In addition, OTC contracts with more
specialized terms may be more difficult to price than exchange traded contracts.

Depending upon how a Fund uses derivative contracts and the relationships
between the market value of a derivative contract and the underlying asset,
derivative contracts may increase or decrease a Fund's exposure to interest rate
and currency risks, and may also expose a Fund to liquidity and leverage risks.
OTC contracts also expose a Fund to credit risks in the event that a
counterparty defaults on the contract.

A Fund may trade in the following types of derivative contracts.

Futures Contracts

Futures contracts provide for the future sale by one party and purchase by
another party of a specified amount of an underlying asset at a specified price,
date, and time. Entering into a contract to buy an underlying asset is commonly
referred to as buying a contract or holding a long position in the asset.
Entering into a contract to sell an underlying asset is commonly referred to as
selling a contract or holding a short position in the asset. Futures contracts
are considered to be commodity contracts. Futures contracts traded OTC are
frequently referred to as forward contracts.

Options

Options are rights to buy or sell an underlying asset for a specified price (the
exercise price) during, or at the end of, a specified period. A call option
gives the holder (buyer) the right to buy the underlying asset from the seller
(writer) of the option. A put option gives the holder the right to sell the
underlying asset to the writer of the option. The writer of the option receives
a payment, or premium, from the buyer, which the writer keeps regardless of
whether the buyer uses (or exercises) the option.

A Fund may:

o Buy put options on portfolio securities, securities indices, and listed put
options on futures contracts in anticipation of a decrease in the value of
the underlying asset;

o Write covered call options on portfolio securities and listed call options
on futures contracts to generate income from premiums, and in anticipation
of a decrease or only limited increase in the value of the underlying
asset. If a call written by a Fund is exercised, the Fund foregoes any
possible profit from an increase in the market price of the underlying
asset over the exercise price plus the premium received;

o Write secured put options on portfolio securities (to generate income from
premiums, and in anticipation of an increase or only limited decrease in
the value of the underlying asset). In writing puts, there is a risk that a
Fund may be required to take delivery of the underlying asset when its
current market price is lower than the exercise price;

o When a Fund writes options on futures contracts, it will be subject to
margin requirements similar to those applied to futures contracts; and

o Buy or write options to close out existing options positions.

A Fund may also write call options on financial futures contracts to generate
income from premiums, and in anticipation of a decrease or only limited increase
in the value of the underlying asset. If a call written by a Fund is exercised,
the Fund foregoes any possible profit from an increase in the market price of
the underlying asset over the exercise price plus the premium received.

A Fund may also write put options on financial futures contracts to generate
income from premiums, and in anticipation of an increase or only limited
decrease in the value of the underlying asset. In writing puts, there is a risk
that a Fund may be required to take delivery of the underlying asset when its
current market price is lower than the exercise price. When a Fund writes
options on futures contracts, it will be subject to margin requirements similar
to those applied to futures contracts.

Municipal Bond Insurance

The Municipal Bond Fund may purchase municipal securities covered by insurance
which guarantees the timely payment of principal at maturity and interest on
such securities ("Policy" or "Policies"). These insured municipal securities are
either (1) covered by an insurance policy applicable to a particular security,
whether obtained by the issuer of the security or by a third party
("Issuer-Obtained Insurance") or (2) insured under master insurance policies
issued by municipal bond insurers, which may be purchased by the Fund. The
premiums for the Policies may be paid by the Fund and the yield on the Fund's
portfolio may be reduced thereby.

The Fund may require or obtain municipal bond insurance when purchasing
municipal securities which would not otherwise meet the Fund's quality
standards. The Fund may also require or obtain municipal bond insurance when
purchasing or holding specific municipal securities, when, in the opinion of the
Fund's Adviser, such insurance would benefit the Fund (for example, through
improvement of portfolio quality or increased liquidity of certain securities).
The Fund's Adviser anticipates that between 30% and 70% of the Fund's net assets
will be invested in municipal securities which are insured.

Issuer-Obtained Insurance policies are non-cancellable and continue in force as
long as the municipal securities are outstanding and their respective insurers
remain in business. If a municipal security is covered by Issuer-Obtained
Insurance, then such security need not be insured by the Policies purchased by a
Fund.

The Fund may purchase two types of Policies issued by municipal bond insurers.
One type of Policy covers certain municipal securities only during the period in
which they are in the Fund's portfolio. In the event that a municipal security
covered by such a Policy is sold from a Fund, the insurer of the relevant Policy
will be liable for those payments of interest and principal which are due and
owing at the time of the sale.

The other type of Policy covers municipal securities not only while they remain
in the Fund's portfolio but also until their final maturity if they are sold out
of the Fund's portfolio, so that the coverage may benefit all subsequent holders
of those municipal securities. The Fund will obtain insurance which covers
municipal securities until final maturity even after they are sold out of the
Fund's portfolio only if, in the judgment of the Adviser, the Fund would receive
net proceeds from the sale of those securities, after deducting the cost of such
permanent insurance and related fees, significantly in excess of the proceeds it
would receive if such municipal securities were sold without insurance. Payments
received from municipal bond issuers may not be tax-exempt income to
shareholders of the Fund.

The Fund may purchase municipal securities insured by Policies from MBIA Corp.
("MBIA"), AMBAC Indemnity Corporation ("AMBAC"), Financial Guaranty Insurance
Company ("FGIC"), or any other municipal bond insurer which is rated AAA by S&P
or Aaa by Moody's. Each Policy guarantees the payment of principal and interest
on those municipal securities it insures. The Policies will have the same
general characteristics and features. A municipal security will be eligible for
coverage if it meets certain requirements set forth in the Policy. In the event
interest or principal on an insured municipal security is not paid when due, the
insurer covering the security will be obligated under its Policy to make such
payment not later than 30 days after it has been notified by the Fund that such
non-payment has occurred. MBIA, AMBAC, and FGIC will not have the right to
withdraw coverage on securities insured by their Policies so long as such
securities remain in the Fund's portfolio, nor may MBIA, AMBAC, or FGIC cancel
their Policies for any reason except failure to pay premiums when due.

MBIA, AMBAC, and FGIC will reserve the right at any time upon 90 days' written
notice to the Fund to refuse to insure any additional municipal securities
purchased by the Fund after the effective date of such notice. The Fund reserves
the right to terminate any of the Policies if they determine that the benefits
to a Fund of having its portfolio insured under such Policy are not justified by
the expense involved.

Additionally, the Fund reserves the right to enter into contracts with insurance
carriers other than MBIA, AMBAC, or FGIC if such carriers are rated AAA by S&P
or Aaa by Moody's.

SPECIAL TRANSACTIONS

Repurchase Agreements

Repurchase agreements are transactions in which a Fund buys a security from a
dealer or bank and agrees to sell the security back at a mutually agreed upon
time and price. The repurchase price exceeds the sale price, reflecting a Fund's
return on the transaction. This return is unrelated to the interest rate on the
underlying security. A Fund will enter into repurchase agreements only with
banks and other recognized financial institutions, such as securities dealers,
deemed creditworthy by the Adviser.

The Funds' custodian or subcustodian will take possession of the securities
subject to repurchase agreements. The Adviser or subcustodian will monitor the
value of the underlying security each day to ensure that the value of the
security always equals or exceeds the repurchase price.

Repurchase agreements are subject to credit risks.

Reverse Repurchase Agreements

Reverse repurchase agreements are repurchase agreements in which a Fund is the
seller (rather than the buyer) of the securities, and agrees to repurchase them
at an agreed upon time and price. A reverse repurchase agreement may be viewed
as a type of borrowing by a Fund. Reverse repurchase agreements are subject to
credit risks. In addition, reverse repurchase agreements create leverage risks
because a Fund must repurchase the underlying security at a higher price,
regardless of the market value of the security at the time of repurchase.

Delayed Delivery Transactions

Delayed delivery transactions, including when issued transactions, are
arrangements in which a Fund buys securities for a set price, with payment and
delivery of the securities scheduled for a future time. During the period
between purchase and settlement, no payment is made by the Fund to the issuer
and no interest accrues to the Fund. The Fund records the transaction when it
agrees to buy the securities and reflects their value in determining the price
of its shares. Settlement dates may be a month or more after entering into these
transactions so that the market values of the securities bought may vary from
the purchase prices. Therefore, delayed delivery transactions create interest
rate risks for the Fund. Delayed delivery transactions also involve credit risks
in the event of a counterparty default. These transactions create leverage
risks.

To Be Announced Securities (TBAs)

As with other when-issued transactions, a seller agrees to issue a TBA
security at a future date. However, the seller does not specify the
particular securities to be delivered. Instead, a Fund agrees to accept any
security that meets specified terms. For example, in a TBA mortgage-backed
transaction, a Fund and the seller would agree upon the issuer, interest
rate and terms of the underlying mortgages. However, the seller would not
identify the specific underlying mortgages until it issues the security.
TBA mortgage-backed securities increase interest rate risks because the
underlying mortgages may be less favorable than anticipated by the Fund.

Dollar Rolls

Dollar rolls are transactions where a Fund sells mortgage backed securities
with a commitment to buy similar, but not identical, mortgage-backed
securities on a future date at a lower price. Normally, one or both
securities involved are TBA mortgage-backed securities. Dollar rolls are
subject to interest rate risks and credit risks.

Securities Lending

A Fund may lend portfolio securities to borrowers that the Adviser deems
creditworthy. In return, the Fund receives cash or liquid securities from the
borrower as collateral. The borrower must furnish additional collateral if the
market value of the loaned securities increases. Also, the borrower must pay the
Fund the equivalent of any dividends or interest received on the loaned
securities.

The Fund will reinvest cash collateral in securities that qualify as an
acceptable investment for the Fund. However, the Fund must pay interest to the
borrower for the use of cash collateral.

Loans are subject to termination at the option of the Fund or the borrower. The
Fund will not have the right to vote on securities while they are on loan, but
it will terminate a loan in anticipation of any important vote. The Fund may pay
administrative and custodial fees in connection with a loan and may pay a
negotiated portion of the interest earned on the cash collateral to a securities
lending agent or broker.

Securities lending activities are subject to interest rate risks and credit
risks. These transactions create leverage risks.

INVESTMENT RATINGS FOR INVESTMENT GRADE SECURITIES

The Adviser will determinate whether a security is investment grade based upon
the credit ratings given by one or more nationally recognized rating services.
For example, Standard and Poor's, a rating service, assigns ratings to
investment grade securities (AAA, AA, A, and BBB) based on their assessment of
the likelihood of the issuer's inability to pay interest or principal (default)
when due on each security. Lower credit ratings correspond to higher credit
risk. If a security has not received a rating, a Fund must rely entirely upon
the Adviser's credit assessment that the security is comparable to investment
grade.

INVESTMENT RISKS

There are many factors which may effect an investment in a Fund. The Funds'
principal risks are described in its prospectus. Additional risk factors are
outlined below.

Interest Rate Risks

o Prices of fixed income securities rise and fall in response to interest
rate changes for similar securities. Generally, when interest rates rise,
prices of fixed income securities fall. However, market factors, such as
the demand for particular fixed income securities, may cause the price of
certain fixed income securities to fall while the prices of other
securities rise or remain unchanged.

o Interest rate changes have a greater effect on the price of fixed income
securities with longer durations. Duration measures the price sensitivity
of a fixed income security to changes in interest rates.

Credit Risks

o Credit risk is the possibility that an issuer will default on a security by
failing to pay interest or principal when due. If an issuer defaults, a
Fund will lose money.

o Many fixed income securities receive credit ratings from services such as
Standard & Poor's and Moody's Investor Services. These services assign
ratings to securities by assessing the likelihood of issuer default. Lower
credit ratings correspond to higher credit risk. If a security has not
received a rating, a Fund must rely entirely upon the Adviser's credit
assessment.

o Fixed income securities generally compensate for greater credit risk by
paying interest at a higher rate. The difference between the yield of a
security and the yield of a U.S. Treasury security with a comparable
maturity (the spread) measures the additional interest paid for risk.
Spreads may increase generally in response to adverse economic or market
conditions. A security's spread may also increase if the security's rating
is lowered, or the security is perceived to have an increased credit risk.
An increase in the spread will cause the price of the security to decline.

o Credit risk includes the possibility that a party to a transaction
involving a Fund will fail to meet its obligations. This could cause a Fund
to lose the benefit of the transaction or prevent a Fund from selling or
buying other securities to implement its investment strategy.

Call Risks

Call risk is the possibility that an issuer may redeem a fixed income security
before maturity (a call) at a price below its current market price. An increase
in the likelihood of a call may reduce the security's price.

If a fixed income security is called, a Fund may have to reinvest the proceeds
in other fixed income securities with lower interest rates, higher credit risks,
or other less favorable characteristics.

West Virginia Investment Risks

The economy of West Virginia is heavily dependent upon coal mining,
manufacturing, the government sector, tourism and retail trade, among other
industries. West Virginia's economy has come to benefit from a developing
tourism industry. The Governor's Office and the State Legislature have placed
great emphasis upon developing the tourism industry in the State and the
Legislature has enacted a number of statutes designed to foster the growth in
tourism.

Data compiled by the State of West Virginia Bureau of Employment Programs
indicates that unemployment in West Virginia during 1998 (annual average) was
6.5%, down from 6.9% in 1997. This represents the lowest annual rate during the
1980s and 1990s but is still above the national unemployment rate of 4.5%. The
State's economic development efforts have been aided by the location of
significant manufacturing and service facilities in West Virginia, including,
for example, Toyota Motor Corporation's $400 million engine plant in Putnam
County which is expected to employ approximately 300 people and the FBI
Fingerprint Center in Harrison County which is expected to employ approximately
3,000 people. In 1997 the State Legislature created further tax incentives to
stimulate economic development in manufacturing, including, specifically,
consumer-ready wood product manufacturing.

West Virginia's economy continues to be enhanced by the construction and
improvement of roadways in the State, including a $6.0 billion program to
complete the Appalachian Corridor highway system from 1992- 2001. In 1997, the
State approved the sale of $550 million in general obligation road bonds over
the next few years. In 1996, the State began sales of infrastructure bonds as
part of a $300 million program aimed at local water and sewer projects as well
as economic development projects.

In 1997 the State Legislature did not enact any significant new taxes or
increase the scope or amount of existing taxes. The State Legislature in 1997
enacted legislation which will exempt from ad valorem property taxes all
intangible personal property with tax situs in West Virginia. This exemption
will be phased in gradually from 1998 to 2003.

Significant attention has been directed in recent years towards altering the
State's current system of obtaining approximately twenty-five percent of
statewide funding for primary and secondary public education from ad valorem
property tax revenues. Litigation is pending in circuit court on the issue, and
it is anticipated that the court will review proposals expected to be submitted
by the Governor's Commission on Fair Taxation and others before a decision is
rendered.

In 1995, the State Legislature substantially reformed the State's workers'
compensation program. The reform, aimed primarily at enforcing employers'
premium obligations and strengthening requirements for permanent total
disability awards, is intended to decrease the program's unfunded liability and
make the State's business climate more attractive.

State pension plans and investments have drawn the attention of the courts in
recent years. The West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals' opinion in Booth v.
Sims, 456 S.E. 2d 167, (W.Va. 1995) will likely affect various State pension
plans. In this case, the Court ruled that the State Legislature could not reduce
the state troopers' retirement annual cost of living adjustment. The Legislature
had approved such reductions in 1994 due to concerns regarding the actuarial
soundness of the troopers' pension plan. The Court found the Legislature's
reduction of benefits unconstitutional as applied to troopers who have
participated in the plan long enough to have detrimentally relied on expected
pension benefits. State lawmakers speculate that the Court's ruling may affect
the State's budget by restricting the Legislature's ability to amend State
pension plans which are inadequately funded. In 1995, the West Virginia Supreme
Court of Appeals ruled in the matter of State of West Virginia ex rel. Gainer v.
West Virginia Board of Investments, 459 S.E. 2d 531 (W. Va. 1995) that a state
statute granting the West Virginia Board of Investments authority to invest a
portion of public employee pension funds in corporate stocks violated a state
constitution prohibition against the State becoming a stockholder in any company
or association. In 1997, the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals similarly
ruled in the matter of West Virginia Trust Fund, Inc. v. Bailey 485 S.E. 2d 407
(W. Va. 1997) that a state statute granting the West Virginia Trust Fund, Inc.,
as trustee of the funds of five state employee pension funds and the state
workers' compensation and coal workers' pneumoconiosis funds, authority to place
such funds in an irrevocable trust which invests in part in corporate equities
also violated the state constitutional prohibition against the State becoming a
stockholder in any company or association. In response, the State Legislature in
1997 proposed an amendment to the State constitution which would eliminate the
current prohibition against investment of state funds in common stocks and other
equity investments. This proposed constitutional amendment has been approved by
West Virginia's voters.

INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS

Borrowing Money and Issuing Senior Securities

The Funds may borrow money, directly or indirectly, and issue senior securities
to the maximum extent permitted under the 1940 Act.

Diversification of Investments

With respect to securities comprising 75% of the value of their total assets,
the Balanced Fund, Bond Fund and Small Company Growth Fund will not purchase
securities of any one issuer (other than cash; cash items; securities issued or
guaranteed by the government of the United States or its agencies or
instrumentalities and repurchase agreements collateralized by such U.S.
government securities; and securities of other investment companies) if, as a
result, more than 5% of the value of each Fund's total assets would be invested
in the securities of that issuer, or each Fund would own more than 10% of the
outstanding voting securities of that issuer.

Underwriting

The Funds may not underwrite the securities of other issuers, except that the
Funds may engage in transactions involving the acquisition, disposition or
resale of its portfolio securities, under circumstances where they may be
considered to be an underwriter under the Securities Act of 1933.

Investing in Real Estate

The Funds may not purchase or sell real estate, provided that this restriction
does not prevent the Funds from investing in issuers which invest, deal, or
otherwise engage in transactions in real estate or interests therein, or
investing in securities that are secured by real estate or interests therein.
The Funds may exercise their rights under agreements relating to such
securities, including the right to enforce security interests and to hold real
estate acquired by reason of such enforcement until that real estate can be
liquidated in an orderly manner.

Investing in Commodities

The Funds may not purchase or sell physical commodities, provided that the Funds
may purchase securities of companies that deal in commodities.

Lending Cash or Securities

The Funds may not make loans, provided that this restriction does not prevent
the Funds from purchasing debt obligations, entering into repurchase agreements,
lending its assets to broker/dealers or institutional investors and investing in
loans, including assignments and participation interests.

Concentration of Investments

The Funds will not make investments that will result in the concentration of
their investments in the securities of issuers primarily engaged in the same
industry. Government securities, municipal securities and bank instruments will
not be deemed to constitute an industry. To conform to the current view of the
SEC staff that only domestic bank instruments may be excluded from industry
concentration limitations, as a matter of non-fundamental policy, the Fund will
not exclude foreign bank instruments from industry concentration limitation
tests so long as the policy of the SEC remains in effect. In addition,
investments in bank instruments, and investments in certain industrial
development bonds funded by activities in a single industry, will be deemed to
constitute investment in an industry, except when held for temporary defensive
purposes. The investment of more than 25% of the value of the Fund's total
assets in any one industry will constitute "concentration."

The above investment limitations cannot be changed unless authorized by the
board of Trustees (Board) and by the "vote of a majority of its outstanding
voting securities," as defined by the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940 Act).
The following investment limitations, however, may be changed by the Board
without shareholder approval. Shareholders will be notified before any material
change in these limitations becomes effective.

Buying on Margin

The Funds will not purchase securities on margin, provided that the Funds may
obtain short-term credits necessary for the clearance of purchases and sales of
securities, and further provided that the Funds may make margin deposits in
connection with their use of financial options and futures, forward and spot
currency contracts, swap transactions and other financial contracts or
derivative instruments.

Pledging Assets

The Funds will not mortgage, pledge, or hypothecate any of their assets,
provided that this shall not apply to the transfer of securities in connection
with any permissible borrowing or to collateral arrangements in connection with
permissible activities.

Investing in Illiquid Securities

The Funds will not purchase securities for which there is no readily available
market, or enter into repurchase agreements or purchase time deposits maturing
in more than seven days, if immediately after and as a result, the value of such
securities would exceed, in the aggregate, 15% of each Fund's net assets.

Writing Covered Call Options and Purchasing Put Options

With respect to the Bond Fund and the Balanced Fund, the Fund will not write
call options on securities unless the securities are held in the Fund's
portfolio or unless the Fund is entitled to them in deliverable form without
further payment or after segregating cash in the amount of any further payment.
The Fund will not purchase put options on securities unless the securities are
held in the Fund's portfolio.

Except with respect to borrowing money, if a percentage limitation is adhered to
at the time of investment, a later increase or decrease in percentage resulting
from any change in value or net assets will not result in a violation of such
restriction.

As a matter of non-fundamental policy, for purposes of concentration policy, (a)
utility companies will be divided according to their services (for example, gas,
gas transmission, electric and telephone will be considered a separate
industry); (b) financial service companies will be classified according to the
end users of their services (for example, automobile finance, bank finance and
diversified finance will each be considered a separate industry); and (c)
asset-backed securities will be classified according to the underlying assets
securing such securities. To conform to the current view of the SEC staff that
only domestic bank instruments may be excluded from industry concentration
limitations, as a matter of non-fundamental policy, the Funds will not exclude
foreign bank instruments from industry concentration limitation tests so long as
the policy of the SEC remains in effect. In addition, investments in bank
instruments, and investments in certain industrial development bonds funded by
activities in a single industry, will be deemed to constitute investment in an
industry, except when held for temporary defensive purposes. The investment of
more than 25% of the value of each Fund's total assets in any one industry will
constitute "concentration."

As a matter of non-fundamental policy, for purposes of the commodities policy,
investments in transactions involving futures contracts and options, forward
currency contracts, swap transactions and other financial contracts that settle
by payment of cash are not deemed to be investments in commodities.

As a matter of non-fundamental policy, with respect to securities comprising 75%
of the value of its total assets, the Growth Fund will not purchase securities
of any one issuer (other than cash; cash items; securities issued or guaranteed
by the government of the United States or its agencies or instrumentalities and
repurchase agreements collateralized by such U.S. government securities; and
securities of other investment companies) if, as a result, more than 5% of the
value of its total assets would be invested in the securities of that issuer, or
the Fund would own more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of that
issuer.

For purposes of its policies and limitations, the Funds consider certificates of
deposit and demand and time deposits issued by a U.S. branch of a domestic bank
or savings association having capital, surplus, and undivided profits in excess
of $100,000,000 at the time of investment to be "cash items."

DETERMINING MARKET VALUE OF SECURITIES

Market values of each Fund's portfolio securities are determined as follows:

o for equity securities, according to the last sale price in the market in
which they are primarily traded (either a national securities exchange or
the over-the-counter market), if available; in the absence of recorded
sales for equity securities, according to the mean between the last closing
bid and asked prices;

o for bonds and other fixed income securities, at the last sale price on a
national securities exchange, if available, otherwise, as determined by an
independent pricing service;

o futures contracts and options are valued at market values established by
the exchanges on which they are traded at the close of trading on such
exchanges. Options traded in the over-the-counter market are valued
according to the mean between the last bid and the last asked price for the
option as provided by an investment dealer or other financial institution
that deals in the option. The Board may determine in good faith that
another method of valuing such investments is necessary to appraise their
fair market value;

o for short-term obligations, according to the mean between bid and asked
prices as furnished by an independent pricing service, except that
short-term obligations with remaining maturities of less than 60 days at
the time of purchase may be valued at amortized cost or at fair market
value as determined in good faith by the Board; and

o for all other securities, at fair value as determined in good faith by the
Board.

Prices provided by independent pricing services may be determined without
relying exclusively on quoted prices and may consider institutional trading in
similar groups of securities, yield, quality, stability, risk, coupon rate,
maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics, and other market data or
factors. From time to time, when prices cannot be obtained from an independent
pricing service, securities may be valued based on quotes from broker-dealers or
other financial institutions that trade the securities.

WHAT DO SHARES COST?

Each Fund's net asset value (NAV) per Share fluctuates and is based on the
market value of all securities and other assets of each Fund.

ELIMINATING THE FRONT-END SALES CHARGE
You can eliminate the applicable front-end sales charge, as follows:

Quantity Discounts

Larger purchases of the WesMark Funds eliminate or reduce the sales charge you
pay. You can combine purchases of Shares made on the same day by you, your
spouse and your children under age 21. In addition, purchases made at one time
by a trustee or fiduciary for a single trust estate or a single fiduciary
account can be combined.

Accumulated Purchases

If you make an additional purchase of Shares, you can count previous Share
purchases still invested in the Fund in calculating the applicable sales charge
on the additional purchase.

Concurrent Purchases

You can combine concurrent purchases of the same share class of two or more
WesMark Funds in calculating the applicable sales charge.

Letter of Intent

You can sign a Letter of Intent committing to purchase a certain amount of the
WesMark Funds Shares within a 13-month period to combine such purchases in
calculating the sales charge. The Funds' custodian will hold Shares in escrow
equal to the maximum applicable sales charge. If you complete the Letter of
Intent, the custodian will release the Shares in escrow to your account. If you
do not fulfill the Letter of Intent, the custodian will redeem the appropriate
amount from the Shares held in escrow to pay the sales charges that were not
applied to your purchases.

Reinvestment Privilege
You may reinvest, within 120 days, your Share redemption proceeds at the next
determined NAV without any sales charge.

Purchases by Affiliates of the Fund

Because there are nominal sales efforts associated with their purchases, the
following individuals and their immediate family members may buy Shares at NAV
without any sales charge: Trustees, employees, directors and officers of
WesBanco, Federated Investors, Inc. and sales representatives of the Funds, the
Adviser, the Distributor and their affiliates, and members of their immediate
families; any associated person of an investment dealer who has a sales
agreement with the Distributor; and trusts, pension or profit-sharing plans for
these individuals.

Waiver of Sales Charge by Investment Professionals

The sales charge will be waived when purchases are made through investment
professionals or dealers who choose to receive no portion of the sales charge.

HOW ARE THE FUNDS SOLD?

Under the Distributor's Contract with the Funds, the Distributor (Edgewood
Services, Inc.) offers Shares on a continuous, best-efforts basis.

The Distributor receives a front-end sales charge on certain Share sales. The
Distributor generally pays up to 90% (and as much as 100%) of this charge to
investment professionals (including WesBanco Securities, Inc.) for sales and/or
administrative services. Any payments to investment professionals in excess of
90% of the front-end sales charge are considered supplemental payments. The
Distributor retains any portion not paid to an investment professional.

Rule 12b-1 plan

As a compensation type plan, the Rule 12b-1 Plan is designed to pay the
Distributor (who may then pay investment professional such as banks,
broker/dealers, trust departments of banks, and registered investment advisers)
for marketing activities (such as advertising, printing and distributing
prospectuses, and providing incentives to investment professionals) to promote
sales of Shares so that overall Fund assets are maintained or increased. This
helps the Funds achieve economies of scale, reduce per share expenses, and
provide cash for orderly portfolio management and Share redemptions. In
addition, the Funds' service providers that receive asset-based fees also
benefit from stable or increasing Fund assets.

The Funds may compensate the Distributor more or less than its actual marketing
expenses. In no event will a Fund pay for any expenses of the Distributor that
exceed the maximum Rule 12b-1 Plan fee.

SHAREHOLDER SERVICES

The Funds may pay WesBanco for providing shareholder services and maintaining
shareholder accounts. WesBanco may select others to perform these services for
their customers and may pay them fees.

SUPPLEMENTAL PAYMENTS

Investment professionals may be paid fees out of the assets of the Distributor
and/or WesBanco (but not out of Fund assets). The Distributor and/or WesBanco
may be reimbursed by the Adviser or its affiliates.

Investment professionals receive such fees for providing distribution-related or
shareholder services such as sponsoring sales, providing sales literature,
conducting training seminars for employees, and engineering sales-related
computer software programs and systems. Also, investment professionals may be
paid cash or promotional incentives, such as reimbursement of certain expenses
relating to attendance at informational meetings about the Funds or other
special events at recreational-type facilities, or items of material value.
These payments will be based upon the amount of shares the investment
professional sells or may sell and/or upon the type and nature of sales or
marketing support furnished by the investment professional.

EXCHANGING SECURITIES FOR SHARES

You may contact your investment professional to request a purchase of shares in
an exchange for securities you own. The Funds reserve the right to determine
whether to accept your securities and the minimum market value to accept. The
Funds will value your securities in the same manner as they value their assets.
This exchange is treated as a sale of your securities for federal tax purposes.

SUBACCOUNTING SERVICES

Certain investment professionals may wish to use the transfer agent's
subaccounting system to minimize their internal recordkeeping requirements. The
transfer agent may charge a fee based on the level of subaccounting services
rendered. Investment professionals holding shares in a fiduciary, agency,
custodial, or similar capacity may charge or pass through subaccounting fees as
part of or in addition to normal trust or agency account fees. They may also
charge fees for other services that may be related to the ownership of shares.
This information should, therefore, be read together with any agreement between
the customer and the investment professional about the services provided, the
fees charged for those services, and any restrictions and limitations imposed.

REDEMPTION IN KIND

Although the Funds intend to pay Share redemptions in cash, they reserve the
right, as described below, to pay the redemption price in whole or in part by a
distribution of the Funds' portfolio securities.

Because the Funds have elected to be governed by Rule 18f-1 under the 1940 Act,
the Funds are obligated to pay Share redemptions to any one shareholder in cash
only up to the lesser of $250,000 or 1% of the net assets represented by such
Share class during any 90-day period.

Any Share redemption payment greater than this amount will also be in cash
unless the Funds' Board determines that payment should be in kind. In such a
case, the Funds will pay all or a portion of the remainder of the redemption in
portfolio securities, valued in the same way as each Fund determines its NAV.
The portfolio securities will be selected in a manner that the Funds' Board
deems fair and equitable and, to the extent available, such securities will be
readily marketable.

Redemption in kind is not as liquid as a cash redemption. If redemption is made
in kind, shareholders receiving the portfolio securities and selling them before
their maturity could receive less than the redemption value of the securities
and could incur certain transaction costs.

ACCOUNT AND SHARE INFORMATION

VOTING RIGHTS

Each Share of each Fund gives the shareholder one vote in Trustee elections and
other matters submitted to shareholders for vote. All Shares of the Trust have
equal voting rights, except that in matters affecting only a particular Fund,
only Shares of that Fund are entitled to vote.

Trustees may be removed by the Board or by shareholders at a special meeting. A
special meeting of shareholders will be called by the Board upon the written
request of shareholders who own at least 10% of the Trust's outstanding shares
of all series entitled to vote.

<R>As of March 1, 2002, the following shareholder(s) owned of record,
beneficially, or both, 5% or more of outstanding shares of the Small Company
Growth Fund: Dolling & Co, Wheeling, WV, owned approximately 3,077,593 shares
(91.35%).

As of March 1, 2002, the following shareholder(s) owned of record, beneficially,
or both, 5% or more of outstanding shares of the Growth Fund: Dolling & Co,

As of March 1, 2002, the following shareholder(s) owned of record, beneficially,
or both, 5% or more of outstanding shares of the Balanced Fund: Dolling & Co,

Philadelphia, PA, owned approximately 1,091,509 shares (6.65%).

As of March 1, 2002, the following shareholder(s) owned of record, beneficially,
or both, 5% or more of outstanding shares of the Municipal Bond Fund: Dolling &
Co, Wheeling, WV, owned approximately 6,113,531 shares (96.21%).</R>

Shareholders owning 25% or more of outstanding shares may be in control and be
able to affect the outcome of certain matters presented for a vote of
shareholders.

TAX INFORMATION

FEDERAL INCOME TAX

The Funds intend to meet requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue
Code applicable to regulated investment companies. If these requirements are not
met, they will not receive special tax treatment and will pay federal income
tax.

Each Fund will be treated as a single, separate entity for federal income tax
purposes so that income earned and capital gains and losses realized by the
Trust's other portfolios will be separate from those realized by the Fund.

FOREIGN INVESTMENTS

If the Growth Fund or the Balanced Fund purchase foreign securities, their
investment income may be subject to foreign withholding or other taxes that
could reduce the return on these securities. Tax treaties between the United
States and foreign countries, however, may reduce or eliminate the amount of
foreign taxes to which the Funds would be subject. The effective rate of foreign
tax cannot be predicted since the amount of Fund assets to be invested within
various countries is uncertain. However, the Funds intend to operate so as to
qualify for treaty-reduced tax rates when applicable.

Distributions from a Fund may be based on estimates of book income for the year.
Book income generally consists solely of the coupon income generated by the
portfolio, whereas tax-basis income includes gains or losses attributable to
currency fluctuation. Due to differences in the book and tax treatment of
fixed-income securities denominated in foreign currencies, it is difficult to
project currency effects on an interim basis. Therefore, to the extent that
currency fluctuations cannot be anticipated, a portion of distributions to
shareholders could later be designated as a return of capital, rather than
income, for income tax purposes, which may be of particular concern to simple
trusts.

If a Fund invests in the stock of certain foreign corporations, they may
constitute Passive Foreign Investment Companies (PFIC), and the Funds may be
subject to Federal income taxes upon disposition of PFIC investments.

If more than 50% of the value of a Fund's assets at the end of the tax year is
represented by stock or securities of foreign corporations, the Fund intends to
qualify for certain Code stipulations that would allow shareholders to claim a
foreign tax credit or deduction on their U.S. income tax returns. The Code may
limit a shareholder's ability to claim a foreign tax credit. Shareholders who
elect to deduct their portion of a Fund's foreign taxes rather than take the
foreign tax credit must itemize deductions on their income tax returns.

WEST VIRGINIA TAXES

Under existing West Virginia laws, distributions made by the Municipal Bond Fund
will not be subject to the West Virginia personal income tax to the extent that
such distributions qualify as exempt-interest dividends under the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and represent (i) interest income from
obligations of the United States and its possessions; or (ii) interest or
dividend income from obligations of any authority, commission or instrumentality
of the United States or the State of West Virginia exempt from state income
taxes under the laws of the United States or of the State of West Virginia. For
purposes of the West Virginia corporate income tax, a special formula is used to
compute the extent to which Fund distributions are exempt.

The Secretary of the Department of Tax and Revenue has indicated on an informed
basis that Fund shares should be exempt from personal property taxes.
Shareholders should consult their own tax adviser for more information on the
application of personal property taxes on Fund shares.

WHO MANAGES AND PROVIDES SERVICES TO THE FUND?

INVESTMENT ADVISER
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Adviser conducts investment research and makes investment decisions for the
Funds.

The Adviser is a wholly owned subsidiary of WesBanco, Inc.

The Adviser shall not be liable to the Trust, the Funds, or any Fund shareholder
for any losses that may be sustained in the purchase, holding, or sale of any
security or for anything done or omitted by it, except acts or omissions
involving willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless
disregard of the duties imposed upon it by its contract with the Trust.

As required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("1940 Act"), the Funds' Board
has reviewed the Funds' investment advisory contract. The Board's decision to
approve the contract reflects the exercise of its business judgment on whether
to continue the existing arrangements. During its review of the contract, the
Board considers many factors, among the most material of which are: the Funds'
investment objectives and long term performance; the Adviser's management
philosophy, personnel, and processes; the preferences and expectations of Fund
shareholders and their relative sophistication; the continuing state of
competition in the mutual fund industry; comparable fees in the mutual fund
industry; the range and quality of services provided to the Funds and its
shareholders by the Federated organization in addition to investment advisory
services; and the Fund's relationship to other funds in the WesMark Family of
Funds.

In assessing the Adviser's performance of its obligations, the Board also
considers whether there has occurred a circumstance or event that would
constitute a reason for it to not renew an advisory contract. In this regard,
the Board is mindful of the potential disruptions of the Funds' operations and
various risks, uncertainties and other effects that could occur as a result of a
decision to terminate or not renew an advisory contract. In particular, the
Board recognizes that most shareholders have invested in the Funds on the
strength of the Adviser's industry standing and reputation and in the
expectation that the Adviser will have a continuing role in providing advisory
services to the Fund.

The Board also considers the compensation and benefits received by the Adviser .
This includes fees received for services provided to the Funds by other entities
in the WesBanco organization and research services received by the Adviser from
brokers that execute Fund trades, as well as advisory fees. In this regard, the
Board is aware that various courts have interpreted provisions of the 1940 Act
and have indicated in their decisions that the following factors may be relevant
to an adviser's compensation: the nature and quality of the services provided by
the Adviser, including the performance of a fund; the Adviser's cost of
providing the services; the extent to which the Adviser may realize "economies
of scale" as a fund grows larger; any indirect benefits that may accrue to the
Adviser and its affiliates as a result of the Adviser's relationship with a
fund; performance and expenses of comparable funds; and the extent to which the
independent Board members are fully informed about all facts bearing on the
Adviser's service and fee. The Funds' Board is aware of these factors and takes
them into account in its review of the Funds' advisory contract.

The Board considers and weighs these circumstances in light of its substantial
accumulated experience in governing the Funds and working with WesBanco on
matters relating to its funds, and is assisted in its deliberations by the
advice of independent legal counsel. In this regard, the Board requests and
receives a significant amount of information about the Funds and the WesBanco
organization. WesBanco provides much of this information at each regular meeting
of the Board, and furnishes additional reports in connection with the particular
meeting at which the Board's formal review of the advisory contracts occurs. In
between regularly scheduled meetings, the Board may receive information on
particular matters as the need arises. Thus, the Board's evaluation of an
advisory contract is informed by reports covering such matters as: the Adviser's
investment philosophy, personnel, and processes; the fund's short- and long-term
performance (in absolute terms as well as in relationship to its particular
investment program and certain competitor or "peer group" funds), and comments
on the reasons for performance; a fund's expenses (including the advisory fee
itself and the overall expense structure of a fund, both in absolute terms and
relative to similar and/or competing funds, with due regard for contractual or
voluntary expense limitations); the use and allocation of brokerage commissions
derived from trading a fund's portfolio securities; the nature and extent of the
advisory and other services provided to a fund by the Adviser and its
affiliates; compliance and audit reports concerning the Funds and the WesBanco
companies that service them; and relevant developments in the mutual fund
industry and how the funds and/or WesBanco are responding to them.

The Board also receives financial information about WesBanco, including reports
on the compensation and benefits WesBanco derives from its relationships with
the Funds. These reports cover not only the fees under the advisory contracts,
but also fees received by WesBanco's subsidiaries for providing other services
to the Funds under separate contracts (e.g., for serving as the Funds'
custodian). The reports also discuss any indirect benefit WesBanco may derive
from its receipt of research services from brokers who execute fund trades.

The Board bases its decision to approve an advisory contract on the totality of
the circumstances and relevant factors, and with a view to past and future
long-term considerations. Not all of the factors and considerations identified
above are relevant to every fund, nor does the Board consider any one of them to
be determinative. Because the totality of circumstances includes considering the
relationship of each fund to the WesBanco family of funds, the Board does not
approach consideration of every fund's advisory contract as if that were the
only fund offered by the Adviser.</R>

CODE OF ETHICS RESTRICTIONS ON PERSONAL TRADING

As required by SEC rules, the Funds, its Adviser, and their Distributor have
adopted codes of ethics. These codes govern securities trading activities of
investment personnel, Fund Trustees, and certain other employees. Although they
do permit these people to trade in securities, including those that the Funds
could buy, they also contain significant safeguards designed to protect the
Funds and their shareholders from abuses in this area, such as requirements to
obtain prior approval for, and to report, particular transactions.

BROKERAGE TRANSACTIONS

When selecting brokers and dealers to handle the purchase and sale of portfolio
instruments, the Adviser looks for prompt execution of the order at a favorable
price. The Adviser will generally use those who are recognized dealers in
specific portfolio instruments, except when a better price and execution of the
order can be obtained elsewhere. The Adviser may select brokers and dealers
based on whether they also offer research services (as described below). In
selecting among firms believed to meet these criteria, the Adviser may give
consideration to those firms which have sold or are selling shares of the Funds
and other funds distributed by the Distributor and its affiliates. The Adviser
makes decisions on portfolio transactions and selects brokers and dealers
subject to review by the Funds' Board.

Research Services

Research services may include advice as to the advisability of investing in
securities; security analysis and reports; economic studies; industry studies;
receipt of quotations for portfolio evaluations; and similar services. Research
services may be used by the Adviser in advising other accounts. To the extent
that receipt of these services may replace services for which the Adviser or its
affiliates might otherwise have paid, it would tend to reduce their expenses.
The Adviser and its affiliates exercise reasonable business judgment in
selecting those brokers who offer brokerage and research services to execute
securities transactions. They determine in good faith that commissions charged
by such persons are reasonable in relationship to the value of the brokerage and
research services provided.

Investment decisions for the Funds are made independently from those of other
accounts managed by the Adviser. When a Fund and one or more of those accounts
invests in, or disposes of, the same security, available investments or
opportunities for sales will be allocated among the Funds and the account(s) in
a manner believed by the Adviser to be equitable. While the coordination and
ability to participate in volume transactions may benefit a Fund, it is possible
that this procedure could adversely impact the price paid or received and/or the
position obtained or disposed of by a Fund.

ADMINISTRATOR

Federated Services Company, a subsidiary of Federated, provides administrative
personnel and services (including certain legal and financial reporting
services) necessary to operate the Funds. Federated Services Company provides
these at the following annual rate of the average aggregate daily net assets as
specified below:

Maximum Average Aggregate Daily
Administrative Fee Net Assets of the Trust
0.150 of 1% on the first
$250 million
0.125 of 1% on the next $250 million
0.100 of 1% on the next $250 million
0.075 of 1% on assets in excess of
$750 million

<R>The administrative fee received during any fiscal year shall be at least
$75,000 per portfolio. Federated Services Company may voluntarily waive a
portion of its fee and may reimburse the Funds for expenses. Prior to January 1,
2002, Federated Services Company also provided certain accounting services with
respect to the Funds' portfolio investments for a fee based on Fund assets plus
out-of-pocket expenses. Effective January 1, 2002, State Street Bank and Trust
Company provides these fund accounting services to the Funds for an annual fee
of 0.05% of the average daily net assets of the Funds.

CUSTODIAN

WesBanco Trust and Investment Services, is custodian for the securities and cash

TRANSFER AGENT AND DIVIDEND DISBURSING AGENT

Federated Services Company, through its registered transfer agent subsidiary,
Federated Shareholder Services Company, maintains all necessary shareholder
records. The Funds pay the transfer agent a fee based on the size, type, and
number of accounts and transactions made by shareholders.

INDEPENDENT Public Accountants

The independent auditor for the Funds, Deloitte & Touche LLP, conducts its
audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United
States of America, which require it to plan and perform its audits to provide
reasonable assurance about whether the Fund's financial statements and financial
highlights are free of material misstatement.

12B-1 FEES AND SHAREHOLDER SERVICES FEES
The Funds did not pay or accrue 12b-1 fees or shareholder services fees during the
fiscal year ended January 31, 2002. The Funds have no present intention of paying or
accruing 12b-1 fees during the fiscal year ending January 31, 2003.</R>

HOW DO THE FUNDS MEASURE PERFORMANCE?

The Funds may advertise Share performance by using the Securities and Exchange
Commission's (SEC) standard methods for calculating performance applicable to all
mutual funds. The SEC also permits this standard performance information to be
accompanied by non-standard performance information.

Unless otherwise stated, any quoted Share performance reflects the effect of
non-recurring charges, such as maximum sales charges, which, if excluded, would
increase the total return and yield. The performance of shares depends upon such
variables as: portfolio quality; average portfolio maturity; type and value of
portfolio securities; changes in interest rates; changes or differences in the Funds'
or any class of shares' expenses; and various other factors.

Share performance fluctuates on a daily basis largely because net earnings and/or the
value of portfolio holdings fluctuate daily. Both net earnings and offering price per
Share are factors in the computation of yield and total return.

AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS AND YIELD

Total returns are given for the one-year and since inception periods. Yield is given
for the 30-day period ended January 31, 2002.

</R>TOTAL RETURN

Total return represents the change (expressed as a percentage) in the value of
shares over a specific period of time, and includes the investment of income and
capital gains distributions.

The average annual total return for shares is the average compounded rate of
return for a given period that would equate a $10,000 initial investment to the
ending redeemable value of that investment. The ending redeemable value is
computed by multiplying the number of shares owned at the end of the period by
the NAV per Share at the end of the period. The number of shares owned at the
end of the period is based on the number of shares purchased at the beginning of
the period with $10,000, less any applicable sales charge, adjusted over the
period by any additional shares, assuming the annual reinvestment of all
dividends and distributions. Total returns after taxes are calculated in a
similar manner, but reflect additional standard assumptions required by the SEC.

When shares of a Fund are in existence for less than a year, a Fund may
advertise cumulative total return for that specific period of time, rather than
annualizing the total return.

YIELD
The yield of shares is calculated by dividing: (i) the net investment
income per Share earned by the shares over a 30-day period; by (ii) the maximum
offering price per Share on the last day of the period. This number is then
annualized using semi-annual compounding. This means that the amount of income
generated during the 30-day period is assumed to be generated each month over a
12-month period and is reinvested every six months. The yield does not
necessarily reflect income actually earned by shares because of certain
adjustments required by the SEC and, therefore, may not correlate to the
dividends or other distributions paid to shareholders.

To the extent investment professional and broker/dealers charge fees in
connection with services provided in conjunction with an investment in shares,
the Share performance is lower for shareholders paying those fees.

TAX EQUIVALENCY TABLE

Set forth below are samples of tax-equivalency tables that may be used in
advertising and sales literature. These tables are for illustrative purposes
only and are not representative of past or future performance of the Municipal
Bond Fund. The interest earned by the municipal securities owned by the
Municipal Bond Fund generally remains free from federal regular income tax and
is often free from West Virginia taxes as well. However, some of the Municipal
Bond Fund's income may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax and
state and/or local taxes.

public utilities, and finance. The average maturity of these bonds approximates
nine years. Tracked by Lehman Brothers, Inc., the index calculates total returns
for one-month, three-month, twelve-month, and ten-year periods and year-to-date.

Consumer Price Index

Generally considered to be a measure of inflation.

Dow Jones Industrial Average ("DJIA")

An unmanaged index representing share prices of major industrial corporations,
public utilities, and transportation companies. Produced by the Dow Jones &
Company, it is cited as a principal indicator of market conditions.

Bank Rate Monitor National Index

A financial reporting service which publishes weekly average rates of 50 leading
bank and thrift institution money market deposit accounts. The rates published
in the index are an average of the personal account rates offered on the
Wednesday prior to the date of publication by ten of the largest banks and
thrifts in each of the five largest Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas.
Account minimums range upward from $2,500 in each institution and compounding
methods vary. If more than one rate is offered, the lowest rate is used. Rates
are subject to change at any time specified by the institution.

The S&P/BARRA Value Index and the S&P/BARRA Growth Index

Constructed by Standard & Poor's and BARRA, Inc., an investment technology and
consulting company, by separating the S&P 500 Index into value stocks and growth
stocks. The S&P/BARRA Growth and S&P/BARRA Value Indices are constructed by
dividing the stocks in the S&P 500 Index according to their price-to-book
ratios. The S&P/BARRA Growth Index, contains companies with higher
price-to-earnings ratios, low dividends yields, and high earnings growth
(concentrated in electronics, computers, health care, and drugs). The Value
Index contains companies with lower price-to-book ratios and has 50% of the
capitalization of the S&P 500 Index. These stocks tend to have lower
price-to-earnings ratios, high dividend yields, and low historical and predicted
earnings growth (concentrated in energy, utility and financial sectors). The
S&P/BARRA Value and S&P/BARRA Growth Indices are capitalization-weighted and
rebalanced semi-annually. Standard & Poor's/BARRA calculates these total return
indices with dividends reinvested.

Standard & Poor's Midcap 400 Stock Price Index

A composite index of 400 common stocks with market capitalizations between $200
million and $7.5 billion in industry, transportation, financial, and public
utility companies. The Standard & Poor's index assumes reinvestment of all
dividends paid by stocks listed on the index. Taxes due on any of these
distributions are not included, nor are brokerage or other fees calculated in
the Standard & Poor's figures.

S&P 600 Smallcap Index

An unmanaged capitalization-weighted index representing all major industries in
the small-range of the U.S. stock market.

Mutual Fund Market

Thirty-seven percent of American households are pursuing their financial goals
through mutual funds. These investors, as well as businesses and institutions,
have entrusted over $4 trillion to the more than 6,700 funds available,
according to the Investment Company Institute.

INVESTMENT RATINGS

STANDARD AND POOR'S LONG-TERM DEBT RATING DEFINITIONS

AAA--Debt rated AAA has the highest rating assigned by Standard & Poor's.
Capacity to pay interest and repay principal is extremely strong. AA--Debt rated
AA has a very strong capacity to pay interest and repay principal and differs
from the higher rated issues only in small degree.

A--Debt rated A has a strong capacity to pay interest and repay principal
although it is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in
circumstances and economic conditions than debt in higher rated categories.

BBB--Debt rated BBB is regarded as having an adequate capacity to pay interest
and repay principal. Whereas it normally exhibits adequate protection
parameters, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more
likely to lead to a weakened capacity to pay interest and repay principal for
debt in this category than in higher rated categories.

BB--Debt rated BB has less near-term, vulnerability to default than other
speculative issues. However, it faces major ongoing uncertainties or exposure to
adverse business, financial, or economic conditions which could lead to
inadequate capacity to meet timely interest and principal payments. The BB
rating category is also used for debt subordinated to senior debt that is
assigned an actual or implied BBB-rating.

B--Debt rated B has a greater vulnerability to default but currently has the
capacity to meet interest payments and principal repayments. Adverse business,
financial, or economic conditions will likely impair capacity or willingness to
pay interest and repay principal. The B rating category is also used for debt
subordinated to senior debt that is assigned an actual or implied BB or BB-
rating.

CCC--Debt rated CCC has a currently identifiable vulnerability to default, and
is dependent upon favorable business, financial, and economic conditions to meet
timely payment of interest and repayment of principal. In the event of adverse
business, financial, or economic conditions, it is not likely to have the
capacity to pay interest and repay principal. The CCC rating category is also
used for debt subordinated to senior debt that is assigned an actual or implied
B or B-rating. CC--The rating CC typically is applied to debt subordinated to
senior debt that is assigned an actual or implied CCC debt rating.

C--The rating C typically is applied to debt subordinated to senior debt which
is assigned an actual or implied CCC-debt rating. The C rating may be used to
cover a situation where a bankruptcy petition has been filed, but debt service
payments are continued.

MOODY'S INVESTORS SERVICE LONG-TERM BOND RATING DEFINITIONS

AAA--Bonds which are rated AAA are judged to be of the best quality. They carry
the smallest degree of investment risk and are generally referred to as gilt
edged. Interest payments are protected by a large or by an exceptionally stable
margin and principal is secure. While the various protective elements are likely
to change, such changes as can be visualized are most unlikely to impair the
fundamentally strong position of such issues.

AA--Bonds which are rated AA are judged to be of high quality by all standards.
Together with the AAA group, they comprise what are generally known as high
grade bonds. They are rated lower than the best bonds because margins of
protection may not be as large as in AAA securities or fluctuation of protective
elements may be of greater amplitude or there may be other elements present
which make the long-term risks appear somewhat larger than in AAA securities.

A--Bonds which are rated A possess many favorable investment attributes and are
to be considered as upper medium grade obligations. Factors giving security to
principal and interest are considered adequate but elements may be present which
suggest a susceptibility to impairment sometime in the future.

BAA--Bonds which are rated BAA are considered as medium grade obligations,
(i.e., they are neither highly protected nor poorly secured). Interest payments
and principal security appear adequate for the present but certain protective
elements may be lacking or may be characteristically unreliable over any great
length of time. Such bonds lack outstanding investment characteristics and in
fact have speculative characteristics as well.

BA--Bonds which are BA are judged to have speculative elements; their future
cannot be considered as well assured. Of ten the protection of interest and
principal payments may be very moderate and thereby not well safeguarded during
both good and bad times over the future. Uncertainty of position characterizes
bonds in this class.

B--Bonds which are rated B generally lack characteristics of the desirable
investment. Assurance of interest and principal payments or of maintenance of
other terms of the contract over any long period of time may be small.

CAA--Bonds which are rated CAA are of poor standing. Such issues may be in
default or there may be present elements of danger with respect to principal or
interest. CA--Bonds which are rated CA represent obligations which are
speculative in a high degree. Such issues are often in default or have other
marked shortcomings.

C--Bonds which are rated C are the lowest rated class of bonds, and issues so
rated can be regarded as having extremely poor prospects of ever attaining any
real investment standing.

FITCH ratings LONG-TERM DEBT RATING DEFINITIONS

AAA--Bonds considered to be investment grade and of the highest credit quality.
The obligor has an exceptionally strong ability to pay interest and repay
principal, which is unlikely to be affected by reasonably foreseeable events.

AA--Bonds considered to be investment grade and of very high credit quality. The
obligor's ability to pay interest and repay principal is very strong, although
not quite as strong as bonds rated AAA. Because bonds rated in the AAA and AA
categories are not significantly vulnerable to foreseeable future developments,
short-term debt of these issuers is generally rated F-1+.

A--Bonds considered to be investment grade and of high credit quality. The
obligor's ability to pay interest and repay principal is considered to be
strong, but may be more vulnerable to adverse changes in economic conditions and
circumstances than bonds with higher ratings.

BBB--Bonds considered to be investment grade and of satisfactory credit quality.
The obligor's ability to pay interest and repay principal is considered to be
adequate. Adverse changes in economic conditions and circumstances, however, are
more likely to have adverse impact on these bonds, and therefore impair timely
payment. The likelihood that the ratings of these bonds will fall below
investment grade is higher than for bonds with higher ratings.

BB--Bonds are considered speculative. The obligor's ability to pay interest and
repay principal may be affected over time by adverse economic changes. However,
business and financial alternatives can be identified which could assist the
obligor in satisfying its debt service requirements.

B--Bonds are considered highly speculative. While bonds in this class are
currently meeting debt service requirements, the probability of continued timely
payment of principal and interest reflects the obligor's limited margin of
safety and the need for reasonable business and economic activity throughout the
life of the issue. CCC--Bonds have certain identifiable characteristics which,
if not remedied, may lead to default. The ability to meet obligations requires
an advantageous business and economic environment.

CC--Bonds are minimally protected. Default in payment of interest and/or
principal seems probable over time.

C--Bonds are imminent default in payment of interest or principal.

MOODY'S INVESTORS SERVICE COMMERCIAL PAPER RATINGS

Prime-1--Issuers rated Prime-1 (or related supporting institutions) have a
superior capacity for repayment of short-term promissory obligations. Prime-1
repayment capacity will normally be evidenced by the following characteristics:

o Leading market positions in well established industries.

o High rates of return on funds employed.

o Conservative capitalization structure with moderate reliance on debt and
ample asset protection.

o Broad margins in earning coverage of fixed financial charges and high
internal cash generation.

o Well established access to a range of financial markets and assured sources
of alternate liquidity.

Prime-2--Issuers rated Prime-1 (or related supporting institutions) have a
strong capacity for repayment of short-term promissory obligations. This will
normally be evidenced by many of the characteristics cited above but to a lesser
degree. Earnings trends and coverage ratios, while sound, will be more subject
to variation. Capitalization characteristics, while still appropriate, may be
more affected by external conditions. Ample alternate liquidity is maintained.

STANDARD AND POOR'S COMMERCIAL PAPER RATINGS

A---This designation indicates that the degree of safety regarding timely
payment is strong. Those issues determined to possess extremely strong safety
characteristics are denoted with a plus sign (+) designation.

A-2--Capacity for timely payment on issues with this designation is
satisfactory. However, the relative degree of safety is not as high as for
issues designated A-1.

FITCH ratings COMMERCIAL PAPER RATING DEFINITIONS

FITCH-1--(Highest Grade) Commercial paper assigned this rating is regarded as
having the strongest degree of assurance for timely payment.

FITCH-2--(Very Good Grade) Issues assigned this rating reflect an assurance of
timely payment only slightly less in degree than the strongest issues.
