TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS:

I am pleased for the opportunity to present you with the financial performance contained in the 2008 Annual Report of First West Virginia Bancorp, Inc. Consolidated net income for 2008 was $2,205,511 or $1.39 per share, an increase of $169,549 or 8.3% as compared to $2,035,962 or $1.28 per share a year earlier. Total assets for the Holding Company increased 2.0% over the prior year to $258,163,637 at December 31, 2008 as compared to $253,186,790 at December 31, 2007. Total stockholders’ equity increased 5.6% to $28,736,558 as compared to $27,214,599 reported in 2007. The book value per share was $18.08 at December 31, 2008 as compared to $17.12 a year earlier.

The Board of Directors declared and paid cash dividends of $.74 and $.73 per share during 2008 and 2007, respectively. Additionally, on May 13, 2008 the Board of Directors declared a 4% common stock dividend payable to shareholders of record as of October 1, 2008.

This year it is with deep sorrow that I report the passing of Thomas A. Noice, director of First West Virginia Bancorp, Inc. since 1988. Mr. Noice also served as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company’s subsidiary bank, Progressive Bank, N.A. Mr. Noice made a significant contribution to the progress of our Company and his experience, support, and dedication will certainly be missed.

The year 2008 challenged our resolve and abilities to navigate through the eye of this economic storm. In times like these we are fortunate to have a strong anchor. While our Company operates with safety, stability and simplicity, we are continuing to improve our subsidiary bank’s leadership, impress our customers with efficient personal service and our shareholders with consistent dividends while insuring our credit quality.

Our Board of Directors continues to make substantial progress in guiding our financial institution while staying on course to fulfill its mission statement with a clear focus on our subsidiary bank’s vision.

The Board of Directors recognizes the value of our customers, shareholders, and employees, each of which demonstrate loyalty, dedication, and support.

Our Board of Directors anticipates a very challenging year, however feels it has strategies in place to capitalize on new opportunities.

 

Sincerely,
/s/ Sylvan J. Dlesk
Sylvan J. Dlesk
Chairman of the Board
President and Chief Executive Officer

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2008, 2007, AND 2006

 

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A summary of the significant accounting and reporting policies applied in the presentation of the accompanying financial statements follows.

Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation: First West Virginia Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) is a West Virginia Company. The Company provides a variety of banking services to individuals and businesses through the branch network of its affiliate bank (the “Bank”). The Bank operates nine full service branches located in Wheeling (3), Wellsburg, Moundsville, New Martinsville, Buckhannon, and Weston, West Virginia and Bellaire, Ohio. Primary deposit products consist of checking accounts, savings accounts, and certificates of deposit. Primary lending products consist of commercial and residential real estate loans, consumer loans, and business loans.

Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the financial statements of the parent and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Progressive Bank, N.A. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to material change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses and the valuation of deferred tax assets.

Income Taxes: The Company and its subsidiary file a consolidated federal income tax return. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are reflected at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes. Deferred income tax expenses or benefits are based on the changes in the deferred tax asset or liability from period to period.

Cash and cash equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and amounts due from banks and federal funds sold.

Investment Securities: Investment securities are classified at the time of purchase, based on management’s intention and ability, as securities available for sale or held to maturity. Debt securities classified as held to maturity are stated at cost adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount which are computed using the interest method and recognized as adjustments of interest income. Certain other debt and equity securities have been classified as available for sale to serve principally as a source of liquidity. Unrealized holding gains and losses for available-for-sale securities are reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity, net of tax, until realized. Realized securities gains and losses are computed using the specific identification method. Interest and dividends on investment securities are recognized as income when earned.

Securities are periodically reviewed for other-than-temporary impairment based upon a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the length of time and extent to which the market value has been less than cost, the financial condition of the underlying issuer, the ability of the issuer to meet contractual obligations, the likelihood of the security’s ability to recover any decline in its market value, and management’s intent and ability to hold the security for a period of time sufficient to allow for a recovery in market value. Among the factors that are considered in determining management’s intent and ability is a review of the Company’s capital adequacy, interest rate risk position and liquidity. The assessment of a security’s ability to recover any decline in market value, the ability of the issuer to meet contractual obligations and management’s intent and ability requires considerable judgment. A decline in value that is considered to be other-than-temporary is recorded as a loss within noninterest income in the Consolidated Statement of Income. At December 31, 2008, there were no investment securities identified by management to be other-than-temporarily impaired. If investments decline in fair value due to adverse changes in the financial markets, charges to income could occur in future periods.

Common stock of the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) and Federal Reserve Bank represents ownership interest in institutions that are wholly owned by other financial institutions. These equity securities are accounted for at cost and are classified with other assets.

Loans and Loans Held for Sale: Loans are generally reported at the principal balance outstanding, net of unearned income. Interest income on loans is accrued based on the principal outstanding. It is the Company’s policy to discontinue the accrual of interest when either the principal or interest is past due 90 days or more, unless the loan is both well secured and in the process of collection. The Company accounts for impaired loans in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 114 and No. 118, “Accounting for Creditors for Impairment of a Loan.” It is the Company’s policy not to recognize interest income on specific impaired loans unless the likelihood of future loss is remote. Interest payments received on such loans are applied as a reduction of the loan principal balance. Loan origination and commitment fees and certain direct loan origination costs are deferred and the net amount amortized over the contractual life of the related loans or commitments as an adjustment of the related loan’s yield. Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or estimated market value in the aggregate. There were no loans held for sale as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

The Company has entered into an agreement with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh (“FHLB”) under which the bank may sell conforming one-to-four family residential mortgage loans to the FHLB. The agreement provides for a maximum commitment of $5,000,000. Loans sold to the FHLB are sold with limited recourse or credit risk up to a maximum amount of $125,000 based upon utilization of the original commitment. The bank also maintains the servicing of these loans, for which it is paid a servicing fee. The total amount of loans sold under this agreement were $1,817,036 and $1,981,231 as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. These loans were also subject to recourse obligation or credit risk in the amount of $43,043. The amount of income recognized as of a result of this agreement was $7,821, $8,848 and $10,317 for the years ending December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

Allowance for Loan Losses: The allowance for loan losses represents the amount which management estimates is adequate to provide for probable losses inherent in its loan portfolio. The allowance method is used in providing for loan losses. Accordingly, all loan losses are charged to the allowance, and all recoveries are credited to it. The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses that is charged to operations. The provision is based on management’s evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses which encompasses the overall risk characteristics of the various portfolio segments, past experience with losses, the impact of economic conditions on borrowers, and other relevant factors. The estimates used in determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, including the amounts and timing of future cash flows expected on impaired loans, are particularly susceptible to significant changes in the near term.

Mortgage loans secured by one-to-four family properties and all consumer loans are large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans and are measured for impairment collectively. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays, which are defined as 90 days or less, generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays on a case-by-case basis taking into consideration all circumstances concerning the loan, the credit worthiness and payment history of the borrower, the length of the payment delay, and the amount of shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed.

Impaired loans are loans for which it is probable the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The Company individually evaluates such loans for impairment and does not aggregate loans by major risk classifications. The definition of “impaired loans” is not the same as the definition of “nonaccrual loans,” although the two categories overlap. The Company may choose to place a loan on nonaccrual status due to payment delinquency or uncertain collectibility while not classifying the loan as impaired, provided the loan is not a commercial or commercial real estate classification. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status and collateral value. The amount of impairment for these types of loans is determined by the difference between the present value of the expected cash flows related to the loan, using the original interest rate, and its recorded value, or as a practical expedient in the case of collateralized loans, the difference between the fair value of the collateral and the recorded amount of the loans. When foreclosure is probable, impairment is measured based on the fair value of the collateral.

Individual loan reviews are based upon specific quantitative and qualitative criteria, including the size of the loan, loan quality ratings, value of collateral, repayment ability of borrowers, and historical experience factors. The historical experience factors utilized for individual loan reviews are based upon past loss experience, known trends in losses and delinquencies, the growth of loans in particular markets and industries, and known changes in economic conditions in the particular lending markets. Allowances for homogeneous loans (such as residential mortgage loans, personal loans, etc.) are evaluated based upon historical loss experience, trends in losses and delinquencies, growth of loans in particular markets, and known changes in economic conditions in each lending market. There can be no assurance the allowance for loan losses will be adequate to cover all losses, but management believes the allowance for loan losses in the amount of $1,923,455 at December 31, 2008, was adequate to provide for probable losses from existing loans based on information currently available. While management uses available information to provide for loan losses, the ultimate collectibility of a substantial portion of the loan portfolio, and the need for future additions to the allowance, will be based on changes in economic conditions and other relevant factors. As such, an adverse change in economic activity could reduce cash flows for both commercial and individual borrowers, which would likely cause the Company to experience increases in problem assets, delinquencies and losses on loans.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Goodwill resulted from the Company’s purchase of a less-than-whole financial institution (the “branch”). The goodwill value of $1.6 million is supported ultimately by revenue that is driven by the volume of business transacted. A decline in earnings as a result of a lack of growth or the inability to deliver cost effective services over sustained periods can lead to impairment of goodwill that could adversely impact earnings in future periods.

An identifiable intangible asset resulted from the purchase of the core deposits of another financial institution in 2001 and, as such, are amortized into noninterest expense on the straight-line basis over the period the Company expects to benefit from such assets (7 years). The Company recognized amortization expense of $14,792, $88,751 and $88,751 in the periods ending December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006. The unamortized balance from the purchase of these core deposit intangible assets is $-0- and $14,792 at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. While management feels the assumptions and variables used to value the acquisition were reasonable, the use of different, but still reasonable, assumptions could produce different results.

Goodwill and other intangibles are periodically reviewed for impairment. No impairment losses were recognized. Additionally, future events could cause management to conclude that impairment indicators exist and that the goodwill is impaired, which would result in the Company recording an impairment loss. Any resulting impairment loss could have a material, adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

Bank-owned Life Insurance: Bank owned life insurance consists of investments in life insurance policies on executive officers and other members of the bank’s management. The policies are carried at their net cash surrender value. Changes in the policy value are recorded as an adjustment to the carrying value with the corresponding amount recognized as non-interest income or expense. Earnings on these policies are based on the net earnings on the cash surrender value of the policies. The net cash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance was $3,553,984 and $3,429,560 at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The face value of the bank-owned life insurance at December 31, 2008 was $9.4 million. An agreement has been executed with all officers whereby a $40,000 death benefit is payable upon the participant’s death while employed by the Company to their designated beneficiary

Premises and Equipment: Premises and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Provisions for depreciation and amortization are computed generally using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. When units of property are disposed of, the premises and equipment accounts are relieved of the cost and the accumulated depreciation related to such units. Any resulting gains or losses are credited to or charged against income. Cost of repairs and maintenance is charged to expense as incurred. Additions and improvements are capitalized at cost.

Other Real Estate Owned: Other real estate owned are carried at the lower of cost or their estimated current fair value, less estimated costs to sell and are included in other assets. Other real estate owned consist primarily of properties acquired through, or in lieu of foreclosures. Any subsequent declines in fair value, and gains or losses on the disposition of these assets are credited to or charged against income.

Advertising Costs: Advertising costs are expensed as the costs are incurred. Advertising expenses amounted to $92,709, $258,861 and $165,706 for 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements: In December 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (“FAS 141(R)), which establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in an acquiree, including the recognition and measurement of goodwill acquired in a business combination. FAS No. 141®) is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

In February 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. 157-1, Application of FASB Statement No. 157 to FASB Statement No. 13 and Other Accounting Pronouncements That Address Fair Value Measurements for Purposes of Lease Classification or Measurement under Statement 13, which removed leasing transactions accounted for under FAS No. 13 and related guidance from the scope of FAS No. 157. Also in February 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No.157-2, Partial Deferral of the Effective Date of Statement 157, which deferred the effective date of FAS No. 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

In December 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of ARB No. 51. FAS No. 160 amends ARB No. 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary, which is sometimes referred to as minority interest, is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. Among other requirements, this statement requires consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the noncontrolling interest. It also requires disclosure, on the face of the consolidated income statement, of the amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest. FAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

In March 2008, the FASB issued FAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, to require enhanced disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities. The new standard has revised financial reporting for derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring more transparency about how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under FAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities; and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. FAS No. 161 requires disclosure of the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular format. It also requires entities to provide more information about their liquidity by requiring disclosure of derivative features that are credit risk-related. Further, it requires cross-referencing within footnotes to enable financial statement users to locate important information about derivative instruments. FAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encourage. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)

 

In June 2008, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 08-4, Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjusted Conversion Ratios. This Issue provides transition guidance for conforming changes made to EITF Issue No. 98-5, Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjusted Conversion Ratios, that resulted from EITF Issue No. 00-27, Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments, and FAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liability and Equity. The conforming changes are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008, with earlier application permitted. The adoption of this FSP is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

In February 2007, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 158-1, Conforming Amendments to the Illustrations in FASB Statements No. 87, No. 88, and No. 106 and to the Related Staff Implementation Guides. This FSP provides conforming amendments to the illustrations in FAS Statements No. 87, 88, and 106 and to related staff implementation guides as a result of the issuance of FAS Statement No. 158. The conforming amendments made by this FSP are effective as of the effective dates of Statement No. 158. The unaffected guidance that this FSP codifies into Statements No. 87, 88, and 106 does not contain new requirements and therefore does not require a separate effective date or transition method. The adoption of this FSP is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

In February 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 140-3, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets and Repurchase Financing Transactions. This FSP concludes that a transferor and transferee should not separately account for a transfer of a financial asset and a related repurchase financing unless (a) the two transactions have a valid and distinct business or economic purpose for being entered into separately and (b) the repurchase financing does not result in the initial transferor regaining control over the financial asset. The FSP is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning on or after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this FSP is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets (“FSP 142-3”). FSP 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing assumptions about renewal or extension used in estimating the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under FAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. This standard is intended to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under FAS No. 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under FAS No. 141R and other GAAP. FSP 142-3 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The measurement provisions of this standard will apply only to intangible assets of the Company acquired after the effective date.

In May 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. APB 14-1, Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement. This FSP provides guidance on the accounting for certain types of convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion. Additionally, this FSP specifies that issuers of such instruments should separately account for the liability and equity components in a manner that will reflect the entity’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized in subsequent periods. The FSP is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this FSP is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

In June 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. EITF 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities, to clarify that instruments granted in share-based payment transactions can be participating securities prior to the requisite service having been rendered. A basic principle of the FSP is that unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and are to be included in the computation of EPS pursuant to the two-class method. The provisions of this FSP are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those years. All prior-period EPS data presented (including interim financial statements, summaries of earnings, and selected financial data) are required to be adjusted retrospectively to conform with the provisions of the FSP. The adoption of this FSP is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

In December 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. FAS 132(R)-1, Employers’ Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets. This FSP amends FASB Statement No. 132 (revised 2003), Employers’ Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits, to improve an employer’s disclosures about plan assets of a defined benefit pension or other postretirement plan. The disclosures about plan assets required by the FSP are to be provided for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the FSP will have on the Company’s results of operations.

On a monthly basis, the Company evaluates the severity and duration of impairment for its investment securities portfolio unless the company has the ability to hold the security to maturity without incurring a loss. Generally, impairment is considered other than temporary when an investment security has sustained a decline in market value of ten percent or more for a period of six months. The Company has concluded that any impairment of its investment securities portfolio is not other than temporary but is the result of interest rate changes that are not expected to result in the noncollection of principal and interest during the period. There are 58 positions that are temporarily impaired at December 31, 2008.

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of investment securities at December 31, 2008, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

NOTE 8 - FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK BORROWINGS

The subsidiary Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh (“FHLB”). The FHLB borrowings are secured by a blanket lien by the FHLB on certain residential real estate loans or securities with a market value at least equal to the outstanding balances. The remaining maximum borrowing capacity with the FHLB at December 31, 2008 was approximately $84.1 million subject to the purchase of additional FHLB stock. The subsidiary bank had FHLB borrowings of $10,929,369 and $9,298,492 at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The increase in FHLB borrowings was due to the addition of one fixed rate amortizing advances which totaled $1,690,000 during the second quarter of 2008. At December 31, 2008 the subsidiary bank had three fixed rate amortizing advances which totaled $3,929,369 with a weighted average interest rate of 4.78% of which $2,252,114 will mature in 2018 and $1,677,255 will mature in 2023. The subsidiary bank also had two fixed rate bullet advances which totaled $7,000,000. These advances carry an average interest rate of 5.08% and will mature in 2009 and 2010.

The subsidiary bank also has a one year line of credit agreement with the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”). The maximum credit available under this agreement is $7.0 million and expires December 2011. There were no borrowings outstanding under this agreement at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Contractual maturities of FHLB borrowings as of December 31, 2008 were as follows:

 

December 31, 2009

   $ 3,575,060

December 31, 2010

     3,578,725

NOTE 9 - OTHER BORROWINGS

The Company has a non-revolving line of credit of $3.0 million from a financial institution. The line of credit is secured by 126,200 shares of Progressive Bank, N.A. stock. The note bears an interest rate of prime and is adjustable quarterly. The note matures in May 2015. The Company’s initial borrowing under the loan amounted to $2.0 million. There were no outstanding borrowings as of December 31, 2008 and as of December 31, 2007.

NOTE 10 - CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

Most of the affiliate Bank’s loans and commitments have been granted to customers in the Bank’s primary market area of Northern and Central West Virginia, Eastern Ohio, and Southwestern Pennsylvania. In the normal course of business, however, the Bank has purchased participations and originated loans outside of its primary market area. The aggregate loan balances outstanding in any one geographic area, other than the Bank’s primary lending areas, do not exceed 10 percent of total loans. Concentrations of credit are measured by categorizing loans by the North American Industry Classification codes. Loans equal to or exceeding 25% of Tier I Capital are considered concentrations of credit. At December 31, 2008 concentrations of credit were as follows:

 

     Amount    Percent of Tier 1 Capital

Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings

   $         13,565,260    52.3%

Lessors of Residential Buildings and Dwellings

NOTE 11 - EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

The Company has a non-contributory profit sharing plan for employees meeting certain service requirements. The Company makes annual contributions to the profit sharing plan based on income of the Company as defined. Total expenses for the plan were $100,000, $92,700, and $102,500 for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively.

The Company also offers a 401(k) plan in which it matches a portion of the employee’s contribution up to 4 percent of their salary. The expense related to the 401(k) plan was $22,508, $22,365, and $22,494 in 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively.

NOTE 12 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Directors and officers of the Company and its subsidiary, and their associates, were customers of, and had other transactions with the subsidiary bank in the normal course of business. All loans and commitments included in such transactions were made on substantially the same terms, including interest and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other persons and do not involve more than the normal risk of collectibility. Such loans totaled $3,142,008 at December 31, 2008, and $2,745,649 at December 31, 2007.

The following is an analysis of loan activity to directors, executive officers, and associates of the Company and its subsidiary:

 

     December 31,  
     2008     2007  

Balance, January 1

   $ 2,745,649     $ 1,592,083

     1,389,588       2,124,903  

Repayments during the period

Ending balance

   $         3,142,008     $         2,745,649  
                

The Company’s subsidiary bank entered into a lease agreement to rent property for use as banking premises from a company owned by Mr. Dlesk, the Company’s executive officer. The lease was for an initial 5 year term at an annual rental fee of $57,600, This lease was renewed in 2007 for an additional 5-year term at an annual rental fee of $60,480 and has options to renew for seven 5-year terms.

NOTE 13 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The subsidiary Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of their customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet. The contract amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments.

The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

The following represents financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk:

 

     2008    2007

Commitments to extend credit

   $         18,831,000    $ 14,219,000

Standby letters of credit

     142,000      116,000

As of December 31, 2008, approximately $8,578,000 are fixed interest rate commitments and $10,395,000 are variable interest rate commitments.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held varies, but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, and income-producing commercial properties.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. These guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements. The standby letters of credit in the amount of $57,000 expire in 2009, $15,000 in 2012 and $70,000 in 2015. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.

The Company and its subsidiary are parties to various legal and administrative proceedings and claims. Although any litigation contains an element of uncertainty, management believes that the outcome of these events will not have a material effect on the financial position of the Company.

NOTE 18 - LIMITATIONS ON DIVIDENDS

The approval of the Comptroller of the Currency is required to pay dividends if the total of all dividends declared by a national bank in any calendar year exceeds the total of its net profits (as defined) for the year, combined with its retained net profits of the preceding two years. Under this formula, the Company’s subsidiary bank can declare dividends in 2009, without approval of the Comptroller of the Currency, of approximately $1,981,000, plus an additional amount equal to the bank’s net profit for 2009 up to the date of any such dividend declaration. The subsidiary bank is the primary source of funds to pay dividends to the stockholders of First West Virginia Bancorp, Inc.

NOTE 19 - REGULATORY MATTERS

The Company’s subsidiary bank entered into a Formal Agreement with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) in December 2004. The Formal Agreement contained certain required actions and certain restrictions. This agreement was terminated by the OCC on December 13, 2006. The Company also adopted a resolution with the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland, under authority given it by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the federal regulatory agency for the Company. As with the agreement of the OCC, the Federal Reserve resolution necessitated certain actions and restrictions. Without prior Federal Reserve approval and a 30 day prior notice requirement, the resolution prohibited the Company from paying dividends, incurring debt, or participating in the acquisition of treasury stock. In addition, prior written approval is required before engaging in any non-bank activities. The resolution was terminated by the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland effective as of January 30, 2007.

The Company and its subsidiary bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Company’s and bank’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company’s and bank’s capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk, weighting, and other factors. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier I capital (as defined) to adjusted total assets (as defined).

As of December 31, 2008, the most recent notifications from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency categorized the bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes has changed the capital category. The capital ratios of the Company and its subsidiary bank, along with the regulatory framework for adequately capitalized and well capitalized institutions are depicted as set forth in the following table:

NOTE 20 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

In September 2006, the FASB issued FASB No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, to provide consistency and comparability in determining fair value measurements and to provide for expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. The definition of fair value maintains the exchange price notion in earlier definitions of fair value but focuses on the exit price of the asset or liability. The exit price is the price that would be received to sell the asset or paid to transfer the liability adjusted for certain inherent risks and restrictions. Expanded disclosures are also required about the use of fair value to measure assets and liabilities.

As required by FASB No. 157, each financial asset and liability must be identified as having been valued according to specified level of input, 1, 2 or 3. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy, within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls, has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset.

As of December 31, 2008, the Company did not have any assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. The measurement of fair value should be consistent with one of the following valuation techniques: market approach, income approach, and/or cost approach. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities (including a business). For example, valuation techniques consistent with the market approach often use market multiples derived from a set of comparables. Multiples might lie in ranges with a different multiple for each comparable. The selection of where within the range the appropriate multiple falls requires judgment, considering factors specific to the measurement (qualitative and quantitative). Valuation techniques consistent with the market approach include matrix pricing. Matrix pricing is a mathematical technique used principally to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities, but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities. As of December 31, 2008, all of the financial assets measured at fair value utilized the market approach.

The following table presents the assets and liabilities reported on the consolidated statements of financial condition at their fair value as of December 31, 2008 by level within the fair value hierarchy. As required by SFAS No. 157, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

NOTE 21 - DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The reported fair values of financial instruments are based on a variety of factors. Where possible, fair values represent quoted market prices for identical or comparable instruments. In other cases, fair values have been estimated based on assumptions concerning the amount and timing of estimated future cash flows and assumed discount rates reflecting varying degrees of risk. Intangible values assigned to customer relationships are not reflected in the reported fair values. Accordingly, the fair values may not represent actual values of the financial instruments that could have been realized as of year end or that will be realized in the future.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair value disclosures for financial instruments:

Cash and Cash Equivalents: The carrying amount for cash and cash equivalents is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Investment Securities: Fair values for investment securities are based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments.

Loans: The fair value for net loans is estimated by discounting future cash flows using current market inputs at which loans with similar terms and qualities would be made to borrowers of similar credit quality. Where quoted market prices were available, primarily for certain residential mortgage loans, such market rates were utilized as estimates for fair value.

Bank Owned Life Insurance: The carrying amount of bank owned life insurance represents the cash surrender value of the underlying insurance policies, if such policies were terminated. Management believes that the carrying amount approximates the fair value.

Accrued interest receivable: The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable approximates its fair value.

Deposits: Noninterest bearing and interest bearing demand deposits and savings deposits are valued at the amount payable on demand as of year end. The fair values for time deposits are based on discounted value of cash flows. The discount rates are estimated using rates currently offered for similar instruments with similar remaining maturities.

Federal Funds Purchased and Repurchase Agreements: The carrying amount for federal funds purchased and repurchase agreements are considered to be a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Federal Home Loan Bank and other long term borrowings: The fair value of FHLB and other long term borrowings is based on the interest rates currently charged for borrowings with similar terms and maturities.

Accrued Interest Payable: The carrying amount of accrued interest payable approximates it fair value.

Off-Balance-Sheet Instruments: The fair value of commitments is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties. The amount of fees currently charged on commitments is determined to be insignificant and, therefore, the carrying value and fair value of off-balance-sheet instruments are not shown.

The estimates of fair values of financial instruments are summarized as follows at December 31:

Management’s Responsibility For Financial Statements

The Company’s consolidated financial statements and the related information appearing in this Annual Report were prepared by management in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and where appropriate reflect management’s best estimates and judgment. The financial statements and the information related to those statements contained in the Annual Report are the responsibility of management.

The accounting systems of the Company include internal accounting controls which safeguard the Company’s assets from material loss or misuse and ensure that transactions are properly authorized and recorded in its financial records, and designed to provide reasonable assurance as to the integrity and reliability of the financial records. There are inherent limitations in all systems of internal control based on the recognition that the cost of such systems should not exceed the benefits to be derived. The accounting system and related controls are reviewed by a program of internal audits performed by the internal auditor and independent auditors.

Our independent auditors are responsible for auditing the Company’s financial statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and to provide an objective, independent review of the fairness of reported operating results and financial position of the Company.

The Company’s internal auditor and independent auditors have direct access to the Audit committee of the Board of Directors. This committee meets periodically with the internal auditor, the independent auditors, and management to ensure the financial accounting and audit process is properly conducted.

 

 

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors

First West Virginia Bancorp, Inc.

Wheeling, West Virginia

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of First West Virginia Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2008. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of First West Virginia Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of its operations, and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2008, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We were not engaged to examine management’s assertion about the effectiveness of First West Virginia Bancorp, Inc’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, which is included in Form 10-K and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion thereon.

As discussed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted Statement of financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements.
