WesBanco’s defined business segments are community banking and trust and investment services. WesBanco’s banking subsidiary, WesBanco Bank, Inc. (the "Bank"), headquartered in Wheeling, West Virginia, operates through 85 banking offices, 2 loan production offices and 129 ATM machines in West Virginia, Ohio and Western Pennsylvania. In addition, WesBanco operates an insurance brokerage company, WesBanco Insurance Services, Inc., and a full service broker/dealer, WesBanco Securities, Inc. that also operates Mountaineer Securities, WesBanco’s discount brokerage operation.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION: The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of WesBanco and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accounting and reporting policies followed in the presentation of these financial statements are consistent with those applied in the preparation of WesBanco’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and results of operations for the interim periods have been made. Such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be or were attained for the entire year.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION:   The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of WesBanco and those entities in which WesBanco has a controlling financial interest. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
WesBanco determines whether it has a controlling financial interest in an entity by first evaluating whether the entity is a voting interest entity or a variable interest entity. Under Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, "Consolidated Financial Statements," a voting interest entity is an entity in which the total equity investment at risk is sufficient to enable the entity to finance itself independently and provides the equity holders with the obligation to absorb losses, the right to receive residual returns and the right to make financial and operating decisions. WesBanco consolidates voting interest entities in which it owns all, or at least a majority (generally, greater than 50%) of the voting interest. Under Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN No. 46"), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities," variable interest entities ("VIE") are entities that in general either do not have equity investors with voting rights or that have equity investors that do not provide sufficient financial resources for the entity to support its activities. A controlling financial interest in a VIE is present when a company absorbs a majority of an entity’s expected losses, receives a majority of an entity’s expected residual returns, or both. The company with a controlling financial interest, known as the primary beneficiary, is required to consolidate the VIE. WesBanco has five wholly-owned trust subsidiaries, WesBanco, Inc. Capital Trusts II, IV, V and VI and WesBanco, Inc. Capital Statutory Trust III (collectively referred to as the "Trusts"), for which it does not absorb a majority of expected losses or receive a majority of the expected residual returns. Accordingly, these Trusts and their net assets are not included in the Consolidated Financial Statements. However, the junior subordinated debt issued by such trusts to WesBanco and the minority interest in the common stock issued by the trusts is shown on the Consolidated Balance Sheets of WesBanco.

USE OF ESTIMATES:   The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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.

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS: Business combinations are required to be accounted for by the purchase method of accounting. Under the purchase method, net assets of the business acquired are recorded at their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition with any excess of the cost of the acquisition over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired recorded as goodwill. Results of operations of the acquired business are included in the income statement from the date of acquisition.

RECLASSIFICATIONS: Certain prior period financial information has been reclassified to conform to the presentation in 2005. The reclassifications had no effect on net income.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS: For the purpose of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and due from banks, due from banks - interest bearing and federal funds sold. Generally, federal funds are sold for one-day periods.

EARNINGS PER SHARE: Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. For diluted earnings per share, the weighted average number of shares for each period is increased by the number of shares which would be issued assuming the exercise of common stock options. Unallocated shares held by the employee stock ownership plan ("ESOP") are excluded from the computation of earnings per share, whereas allocated shares are included in computing earnings per share.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES: In December 2003, the AICPA issued Statement of Position ("SOP") 03-3, "Accounting for Certain Loans or Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer." This Statement applies to all loans acquired in a transfer, including those acquired in the acquisition of a bank or a branch, and provides that such loans be accounted for at fair value without a related allowance for loan losses, or other valuation allowance, recorded at the time of acquisition. The difference between cash flows expected at the acquisition date and the investment in the loan should be recognized as interest income over the life of the loan. If contractually required payments for principal and
 
7
 
 
interest are less than expected cash flows, this amount should not be recognized as a yield adjustment, a loss accrual, or a valuation allowance. This statement is effective beginning January 1, 2005. Please see note 5, "Loans and the Allowance for Loan Losses," of the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS: Mortgage servicing rights ("MSR") represent the right to service loans for third party investors. MSR are accounted for pursuant to the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities," which requires that a company recognize as separate assets, rights to service mortgage loans for others, regardless of how those servicing rights are acquired. MSR are recognized by the sale of mortgage loan(s) to a third party investor with the servicing rights retained by WesBanco. Servicing loans for others generally consists of collecting the mortgage payment from the respective borrower, maintaining escrow accounts, remitting payments to the third party investor and if necessary, foreclosure processing. Serviced loans are not included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Loan servicing income includes servicing fees received from the third party investors and certain charges collected from the borrowers. Originated MSR are recorded at allocated fair value at the time of the sale of the loan(s) to the third party investor. MSR are amortized in proportion to and over the estimated period of net servicing income. MSR are carried at amortized cost, less the valuation for impairment, if any. Impairment exists if the carrying value of MSR exceeds the estimated fair value of the MSR. In calculating the fair value of the MSR, the serviced loans are segregated into pools using, as pooling criteria, the loan term and the coupon rate. Individual impairment allowances for each pool are established when necessary and then adjusted in subsequent periods to reflect changes in the valuation of the pool. Once pooled, each grouping of loans is evaluated on a discounted earnings basis to determine the present value of future earnings that a purchaser could expect to realize from each portfolio as well as numerous assumptions including; servicing income and costs, market discount rates, prepayment speeds and other market driven data. The fair value of MSR is highly sensitive to changes in assumptions. Changes in prepayment speed assumptions have the most significant impact on the fair value of MSR. Generally, as interest rates decline, prepayments accelerate due to increased refinance activity, which results in a decrease in the fair value of MSR, conversely, as interest rates rise, prepayments slow down generally resulting in an increase in the fair value of MSR. All assumptions are reviewed on a quarterly basis and adjusted as necessary to reflect current and anticipated market conditions.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS: In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure," which provides guidance on how to transition from the intrinsic value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 ("APB No. 25"), "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," to the fair value method of accounting under SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," if a company so elects. WesBanco has elected to continue to account for stock-based compensation under APB No. 25 using the intrinsic value method. Under APB No. 25, compensation expense for employee stock options is generally not recognized if the exercise price of the option equaled or exceeded the market price of the stock on the date of grant.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2005, WesBanco’s Board of Directors approved a 116,500 share stock option grant to selected participants, including certain named executive officers, under WesBanco’s Key Executive Incentive Bonus and Option Plan, adopted and approved by the Board of Directors of WesBanco on February 19, 1998, (the "Incentive Plan"). The Incentive Plan was approved by the stockholders of WesBanco on April 15, 1998, and the stockholders approved an increase in the amount of stock available under the plan to 1,000,000 shares on April 18, 2001. The stock option grants were effective as of May 18, 2005, at a grant price of $29.16, which was the closing price of the stock on May 17, 2005. The options vest in three increments of one-third each year, with the first one-third vesting on December 31, 2005, the second one-third vesting on December 31, 2006 and the final one-third vesting on December 31, 2007, with each annual vesting based on certain WesBanco earnings per share performance targets achieved for each such annual period. If the options vest as scheduled, the options expire ten years from the date of grant, or May 18, 2015.
During the first quarter of 2005, WesBanco assumed 132,174 vested stock options, adjusted for the WesBanco common stock exchange ratio, from Winton Financial Corporation ("Winton") in conjunction with the January 3, 2005 merger at an average option price of $14.33 per share, for certain of the former key officers.
During the second quarter of 2004, WesBanco issued 63,000 stock options at an average option price of $26.60 per share and a fair value of $6.19 per share. These options were fully vested at December 31, 2004. During the third quarter of 2004, WesBanco assumed 40,009 vested stock options, adjusted for the WesBanco common stock exchange ratio, from Western Ohio Financial Corporation ("Western Ohio") in conjunction with the August 31, 2004 merger at an average option price of $16.93 per share, for certain of the former key officers.
As of June 30, 2005 and 2004, WesBanco’s unvested stock options were 116,500 and 131,661, respectively.
The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share as if the fair value method had been applied to all outstanding and unvested awards in each period:

Since the options granted in May 2005 only vest if certain performance targets are met, the fair value of each option was determined as if it was vested at the date of grant. Compensation expense under the fair value method was based on the number of options expected to vest, which was based on management’s best estimate of the probability that the underlying performance targets will be achieved.
In December 2004 the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment" ("SFAS No. 123-R"). SFAS No. 123-R addresses all forms of share-based payment ("SBP") awards, including shares issued under employee stock purchase plans, stock options, restricted stock and stock appreciation rights. SFAS No. 123-R requires all entities to recognize compensation expense in an amount equal to the fair value of share-based payments such as stock options granted to employees. WesBanco will be required to apply SFAS No. 123-R using one of two methods, the modified prospective method or restatement of previously issued financial statements. Under the modified prospective method, a company will be required to record compensation expense (as previous awards continue to vest) for the unvested portion of previously granted awards that remain outstanding at the date of adoption. Under the second method, a company may restate previously issued financial statements, basing the amounts on the expense previously calculated and reported in their pro forma disclosures that had been required by SFAS No. 123.  WesBanco will apply the modified prospective method upon adopting SFAS No. 123-R.
In March 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 ("SAB No. 107"), "Share-Based Payment," providing guidance on option valuation methods, the accounting for income tax effects of share-based payment arrangements upon adoption of SFAS No. 123-R, and the disclosures in MD&A subsequent to the adoption. WesBanco will provide SAB No. 107 required disclosures upon adoption of SFAS No. 123-R on January 1, 2006. The adoption of this standard in 2006 is not expected to have a significant impact on WesBanco’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
In September  2004, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position ("FSP") Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Issue No. 03-1-1 delaying the effective date of paragraphs 10-20 of EITF 03-1, "The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments," which provides guidance for determining the meaning of the phrase "other-than-temporarily impaired" and its application to certain debt and equity securities within the scope of SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," and investments accounted for under the cost method. The guidance requires that an investment which has declined in value due to credit concerns or solely due to changes in interest rates must be recorded as other-than-temporarily impaired unless WesBanco can assert and demonstrate its intention to hold the security for a period of time sufficient to allow for a recovery of fair value up to or beyond the cost of the investment, which might mean maturity. In September 2004, the FASB issued the proposed FSP Issue 03-1-a which was intended to provide implementation guidance with respect to all securities analyzed for impairment under paragraphs 10-20 of EITF 03-1. On June 29, 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board gave direction that the proposed FSP Issue 03-1-a be issued as final thus nullifying paragraphs 10-18 of EITF 03-1. The measurement, disclosure, and subsequent accounting for debt securities guidance, as well as the evaluation of whether a cost method investment (as defined in Issue 03-1) is impaired, would remain in effect. Management continues to closely monitor and evaluate how the provisions of EITF 03-1 and proposed FSP Issue 03-1-a will affect WesBanco.

NOTE 3: COMPLETED BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
On January 3, 2005, WesBanco completed the acquisition of Winton and the merger of Winton’s subsidiary, Winton Savings and Loan Company, Cincinnati, Ohio, with and into the Bank. WesBanco and Winton entered into a definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger on August 25, 2004. Winton and its banking subsidiary operated through seven branch offices and two residential mortgage loan production offices in the Cincinnati, Ohio, metropolitan market at the time of acquisition, although the loan production offices have been subsequently closed. The primary reasons for the merger with Winton were for entry into new higher growth markets and to further expand WesBanco’s branch network in southwestern Ohio.
The aggregate purchase price for Winton was approximately $109.1 million and was consummated through the exchange of a combination of WesBanco common stock at a rate of 0.755 shares for 60% of Winton’s shares outstanding and $20.75 per share in cash for the remaining 40% of its stock. The acquisition was completed through the issuance of 2,296,511 shares of WesBanco newly issued
 
9
 
common stock and $42.1 million in cash, paid from WesBanco’s available cash of which $20.0 million was funded by a line of credit with an independent commercial bank.
WesBanco also paid $1.9 million for Winton’s outstanding stock options to those individuals electing cash instead of WesBanco stock options and recognized $1.7 million in direct costs associated with the merger, of which $0.5 million remained unpaid at June 30, 2005. The direct merger costs included involuntary employee termination costs of $0.5 million along with legal, accounting advisory and conversion costs of $1.1 million and an additional $0.1 million in other costs. Winton recognized approximately $5.0 million in merger-related expenses, on a pre-tax basis, prior to the merger date. As of the date of the acquisition on January 3, 2005, Winton had total assets of approximately $551 million, loans of $482 million, deposits of $359 million, borrowings of $133 million and shareholders’ equity of $49 million. WesBanco’s Consolidated Statement of Income includes the results of operations of Winton from the closing date of the acquisition.
On August 31, 2004, WesBanco completed the acquisition of Western Ohio, Springfield, Ohio and the merger of Western Ohio’s subsidiary, Cornerstone Bank, with and into the Bank. WesBanco and Western Ohio entered into a definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger on April 1, 2004. The merger with Western Ohio provided WesBanco entry into new higher growth markets and expanded WesBanco’s already existing branch network in the state of Ohio. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase accounting method.
The aggregate purchase price for the acquisition was approximately $67.9 million consummated through the exchange of a combination of WesBanco’s common stock and cash for Western Ohio common stock. For each share of Western Ohio common stock that a Western Ohio shareholder owned they received, at their election, either $35.00 in cash or 1.18 shares of WesBanco common stock, subject to certain limitations. The exchange was structured to be a 55% stock and 45% cash transaction. The purchase was funded through the issuance of 1,176,935 shares of WesBanco common shares held in treasury while the cash consideration totaling $28.6 million for the cash portion of the stock purchase was paid from WesBanco’s available cash, primarily from the issuance of junior subordinated debt in June of 2004. WesBanco also paid $1.6 million for Western Ohio’s outstanding stock options to those individuals electing cash instead of WesBanco stock options and recognized $1.5 million in direct costs associated with the merger, of which $36 thousand remained unpaid at June 30, 2005. The direct merger costs included involuntary employee termination costs of $0.6 million along with legal, accounting advisory and conversion costs of $0.9 million. Western Ohio recognized approximately $1.8 million in merger-related expenses on a pre-tax basis, prior to the merger date. As of the date of the acquisition on August 31, 2004, Western Ohio had total assets of approximately $412 million, loans of $334 million, deposits of $255 million, borrowings of $111 million and shareholders’ equity of $44 million.
In conjunction with the Winton and Western Ohio mergers, WesBanco recorded goodwill of $63.4 million and $24.0 million, respectively, and core deposit intangibles of $2.9 million and $3.6 million, respectively. Goodwill and core deposit intangibles were allocated to WesBanco’s community banking segment. Under SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations" and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," a core deposit intangible is separated from goodwill and amortized over its remaining useful life. The Winton and Western Ohio core deposit intangibles each have a weighted average remaining useful life of approximately 10 years. The remaining goodwill intangible, which is not subject to amortization and is not deductible for income tax purposes, is evaluated annually for possible impairment.

Declines in the fair value of held-to-maturity and available-for-sale securities below their cost that are deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired are reflected in current earnings as realized losses. WesBanco performs a thorough review of its entire investment portfolio on a quarterly basis in order to identify investment securities that may have indications of possible impairment. In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses, management considers the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer (i.e., credit downgrades), the receipt of principal and interest according to the contractual terms and the intent and ability of WesBanco to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.
WesBanco does not believe any of the securities are impaired due to reasons of credit quality as none of the securities presented above represent securities that have had credit downgrades and all securities are paying principal and interest according to the contractual terms. WesBanco also has the ability and intent to hold the securities classified as held to maturity until they mature, at which time WesBanco will receive full value for the securities. Furthermore, management also has the ability and intent to hold the noted loss position securities classified as available for sale for a period of time sufficient for a recovery of cost. WesBanco believes that all of the securities in an unrealized loss position at June 30, 2005, are considered temporary impairment losses due to the securities having lower interest rates than current market interest rates. The difference in rates causes the securities fair value to fluctuate in response to prevailing market interest rates. None of the securities in an unrealized loss position at June 30, 2005 is in a non-investment grade category security. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2005, management believes the unrealized losses detailed above are temporary and no impairment loss has been recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

In conjunction with the Winton acquisition on January 3, 2005, WesBanco acquired loans approximating $482 million. Winton’s allowance for loan losses at the acquisition date of January 3, 2005 was approximately $2.4 million. WesBanco applied the guidance required under SOP 03-3 and determined that certain loans acquired in the Winton acquisition, for which there was, at acquisition, evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination and for which it was probable, at acquisition, that all contractually required payments would not be collected. WesBanco determined that two commercial real estate loans totaling approximately $2.0 million were within the guidelines set forth under SOP 03-3. Accordingly, WesBanco recorded $1.9 million in carry-over allowance on loans not subject to SOP 03-3. The following table sets forth the information for the loans accounted for under SOP 03-3 as of June 30, 2005:

NOTE 6: MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS
At June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, WesBanco had approximately $2.0 million and $0.3 million of capitalized MSR, respectively, of which $0.7 million were due to the June 2005 sale of approximately $67.8 million of 1-4 family, fixed rate residential mortgage loans, from its existing loan portfolio, while $1.0 million were acquired in the January 3, 2005 Winton transaction and $0.3 million were acquired in the August 31, 2004 Western Ohio transaction. The fair value of the MSR at June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 were $2.2 million and $0.4 million which exceeded the recorded value and to date no valuation allowance has been established. WesBanco recorded amortization expense related to MSR totaling approximately $73 thousand and $118 thousand for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, compared to $-0- for both of the same periods in 2004.
Servicing loans for others generally consists of collecting mortgage payments, maintaining escrow accounts, disbursing payments to investors and foreclosure processing. Loan servicing income includes servicing fees withheld from investors and certain charges collected from borrowers, such as late payment fees. As of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, WesBanco serviced loans for others aggregating approximately $198.2 million and $39.2 million, respectively. Such loans are not included in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. At June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, WesBanco held custodial funds of $1.0 million and $0.1 million, respectively, relating to the servicing of residential real estate loans, which are included in deposits in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. These custodial deposits represent funds due to investors on mortgage loans serviced by WesBanco and customer funds held for real estate taxes and insurance.

NOTE 7: GOODWILL AND CORE DEPOSIT INTANGIBLES
WesBanco’s Consolidated Balance Sheet includes goodwill of $137.3 million at June 30, 2005 and $73.8 million at December 31, 2004. In 2005, WesBanco capitalized $63.4 million in goodwill and $2.9 million in core deposit intangibles in connection with the Winton acquisition which was allocated to WesBanco’s community banking segment. The core deposit intangible from Winton is being amortized over a weighted average remaining useful life of approximately 10 years. In 2004, WesBanco capitalized $24.0 million in goodwill and $3.6 million in core deposit intangibles in connection with the Western Ohio acquisition which was allocated to WesBanco’s community banking segment. The core deposit intangible from Western Ohio is being amortized over a weighted average remaining useful life of approximately 10 years. Substantially all of the remaining goodwill and core deposit intangible relates to the 2002 acquisition of American Bancorporation ("American"). Amortization expense on core deposit intangibles for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 totaled $0.7 million and $1.3 million, respectively, compared to $0.3 million and $0.6 million for the same periods in 2004. The remaining goodwill intangible, which is not subject to amortization and is not deductible for income tax purposes, is evaluated annually for possible   impairment.

NOTE 8: FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK BORROWINGS
WesBanco is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") of Pittsburgh. WesBanco’s FHLB borrowings are secured by a blanket lien by the FHLB on certain residential mortgage loans or securities with a market value at least equal to the outstanding balances of the borrowings. At June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, WesBanco had FHLB borrowings of $673.2 million and $599.4 million, respectively, with a weighted average interest rate of 3.34% and 3.31%, at each respective period end. Included in WesBanco’s FHLB borrowings at June 30, 2005 are $192.7 million in FHLB of Cincinnati advances obtained in conjunction with the Winton and Western Ohio acquisitions, compared to $100.6 million at December 31, 2004. The terms of the security agreement with the FHLB of Pittsburgh include a specific assignment of collateral that requires the maintenance of qualifying first mortgage loans as pledged collateral with unpaid principal amounts at least equal to or greater than the FHLB advances, when discounted at 83% of the unpaid principal balance. FHLB stock totaling $48.0 million at June 30, 2005 and $37.4 million at December 31, 2004 is also pledged as collateral on these advances. The remaining maximum borrowing capacity with the FHLB at June 30, 2005 was $1.5 billion compared to $915.5 million at December 31, 2004.
Certain FHLB advances contain call features, which allows the FHLB to convert a fixed rate borrowing to a variable rate advance if the strike rate goes beyond a certain predetermined rate. The probability that these advances and repurchase agreements will be called depends primarily on the level of related interest rates during the call period. Of the $673.2 million in total FHLB advances at June 30, 2005, convertible advances with a carrying value of $196.5 million are subject to conversion to a variable rate advance by the FHLB at various future dates and at various strike rates.

NOTE 10: JUNIOR SUBORDINATED DEBT
In March 2005, WesBanco formed a wholly-owned trust subsidiary, WesBanco Capital Trust VI ("Trust VI"), under the laws of Delaware, by issuing $15.0 million in Fixed/Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures due March 17, 2035, to a statutory trust which issued 15,000 shares of trust preferred securities with a total liquidation value of $15.0 million, based upon the debentures and a guarantee from WesBanco. In connection with the issuance of the trust preferred securities, Trust VI issued 464 shares of common securities to WesBanco with a liquidation value of $0.5 million. The trust preferred securities were issued and sold in a private placement offering, as part of a pooled transaction.
As part of this transaction, WesBanco issued an aggregate principal amount of $15.5 million in fixed rate/floating rate junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures to Trust VI, with interest payable quarterly beginning in June 2005 at an initial rate of 6.37% for the first five years ("no call period") and resetting quarterly beginning on March 17, 2010 at a rate equal to the 3-month London Inter Bank Offering Rate ("LIBOR") plus 1.77%.
The debentures may be redeemed at par anytime commencing in March 2010. The debentures and trust preferred securities provide that WesBanco has the right to elect to defer the payment of interest on the debentures and trust preferred securities for up to an aggregate of 20 quarterly periods. However, if WesBanco should defer the payment of interest or default on the payment of interest on the debentures, it may not declare or pay any dividends on its common stock during any such period. Undertakings made by WesBanco with respect to the Trust Preferred Securities constitute a full and unconditional guarantee by WesBanco of the obligations of the Trust Preferred Securities.
WesBanco adopted the provisions of FIN No. 46 in the fourth quarter of 2003. Accordingly, WesBanco deconsolidated its special purpose trusts, which were formed to issue trust preferred securities to outside investors, because WesBanco does not absorb a majority of the expected losses or residual returns of the trusts. These Trusts were previously consolidated because they were controlled by WesBanco through a majority voting interest. The effect of such deconsolidation was to remove the Trust Preferred Securities from WesBanco’s Consolidated Balance Sheet, recognize WesBanco’s junior subordinated debt obligations to the special purpose trusts, and record each of WesBanco’s equity investments in the common stock of the special purpose trusts as an other asset. The junior subordinated debt obligations and equity investments were previously eliminated in consolidation.
The Junior Subordinated Debentures are presented as a separate category of long-term debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. For regulatory purposes, the Federal Reserve Board currently allows bank holding companies to include trust preferred securities up to a certain limit of Tier 1 Capital. As of June 30, 2005, all of WesBanco’s outstanding Trust Preferred Securities are allowed to be included in the Tier 1 Capital calculation. The Trust Preferred Securities provide the issuer with a unique capital instrument that has a tax deductible interest feature not normally associated with the equity of a corporation.

NOTE 14: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
COMMITMENTS: In the normal course of business, WesBanco offers off-balance sheet credit arrangements to enable its customers to meet their financing objectives. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the financial statements. WesBanco’s exposure to credit losses in the event of non-performance by the other parties to the financial instruments for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is limited to the contractual amount of those instruments. WesBanco uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as for all other lending. 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. Expected losses on such commitments would be recorded in other liabilities and were $0 as of each of the periods ended June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004.
Letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by banks to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, including normal business activities, bond financing and similar transactions. Standby letters of credit are considered guarantees in accordance with the criteria specified by FIN No. 45, which was adopted on January 1, 2003. After that date, WesBanco issued new or modified standby letters of credit with an aggregate contract amount of $22.3 million. The guarantee liability associated with these new or modified standby letters of credit is carried at the estimated fair value of $0.1 million and $0.1 million as of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. The guarantee liability is included in other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

CONTINGENT LIABILITIES:   WesBanco and its subsidiaries are parties to various legal and administrative proceedings and claims. While any litigation contains an element of uncertainty, management believes that the outcome of such proceedings or claims pending or known to be threatened will not have a material adverse effect on WesBanco’s consolidated financial position. Please see "Part II, Item 1. Legal Proceedings", for additional information.

NOTE 15: REGULATORY MATTERS
WesBanco (the "Parent Company") is a legal entity separate and distinct from its subsidiaries. There are various legal limitations on the extent to which the Bank may extend credit, pay dividends or otherwise supply funds to WesBanco. Certain restrictions under Federal and State law exist regarding the ability of the Bank to pay dividends to WesBanco. Approval is required if total dividends declared by a bank subsidiary, in any calendar year, exceeds net profits for that year combined with its retained net profits for the preceding two years. In determining to what extent to pay dividends, a bank subsidiary must also consider the effect of dividend payments on applicable risk-based capital and leverage ratio requirements.
WesBanco is subject to various regulatory capital requirements (risk-based capital ratios) administered by 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 material effect on WesBanco’s financial results.
All bank holding companies and banking subsidiaries are required to have core capital ("Tier 1") of at least 4% of risk-weighted assets, total capital of at least 8% of risk-weighted assets, and for banking subsidiaries a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of 3% of adjusted quarterly average assets. Tier 1 capital consists principally of shareholders’ equity, excluding unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale and derivatives, less goodwill and certain other intangibles. Total capital consists of Tier 1 capital plus the allowance for loan losses subject to limitation. The regulations also define well-capitalized levels of Tier 1, total capital, and Tier 1 leverage as 6%, 10%, and 5%, respectively. WesBanco and the Bank were categorized as "well-capitalized" under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act at June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004. There are no conditions or events since June 30, 2005 that management believes have changed WesBanco’s "well-capitalized" category.
In the ordinary course of business, WesBanco is dependent upon dividends from the Bank to provide funds for the payment of dividends to shareholders, fund the current stock repurchase plan and to provide for other cash requirements. Federal and State banking regulations require the maintenance of certain capital and net income levels that may limit the amount of dividends that may be paid. Approval by regulatory authorities is required if the effect of dividends declared would cause the regulatory capital of the Bank to fall below specified minimum levels. Approval is also needed if dividends declared exceed the net profits for that year combined with the retained net profits for
 
16
 
the two preceding years. At June 30, 2005, the Bank could pay dividends of up to $12.3 million to WesBanco without prior regulatory approval and without adversely affecting its "well capitalized" status.
On May 6, 2004, the Federal Reserve Board proposed a rule that would retain trust preferred securities in Tier 1 capital, but with stricter quantitative limits and clearer qualitative standards. Under the proposal, after a three-year transition period, the aggregate amount of trust preferred securities and certain other capital elements would be limited to 25 percent of Tier 1 capital elements, net of goodwill. The amount of trust preferred securities and certain other elements in excess of the limit could be included in Tier 2 capital, subject to restrictions. On March 1, 2005, a final rule was promulgated by the Federal Reserve that confirms most elements of the May 6, 2004 proposal except for permitting a longer transition period of five years and other clarifications.
WesBanco currently has $87.6 million in junior subordinated debt on its Consolidated Balance Sheet presented as a separate category of long-term debt. For regulatory purposes, trust preferred securities totaling $85.0 million, issued by WesBanco, Inc. Capital Trusts II, IV, V and VI and WesBanco, Inc. Capital Statutory Trust III, underlying such junior subordinated debt is included in Tier 1 capital in accordance with regulatory reporting requirements. As of June 30, 2005, assuming WesBanco was not allowed to include in Tier 1 capital the $85.0 million in trust preferred securities, WesBanco’s Tier 1 leverage capital ratio would have approximated 6.2% and would still significantly exceed the regulatory required minimums for capital adequacy purposes.
Under the newly proposed Federal Reserve Board rule, it is currently anticipated that all of WesBanco’s trust preferred securities will continue to count as Tier 1 capital. If the WesBanco, Inc. Capital Trust II trust preferred securities are no longer allowed to be included in Tier 1 capital, WesBanco would be permitted to redeem the trust preferred securities without penalty, while the WesBanco, Inc. Capital Statutory Trust III and WesBanco Capital Trusts IV, V and VI would result in an early redemption penalty.

  NOTE 16: BUSINESS SEGMENTS
WesBanco operates two reportable segments: community banking and trust and investment services. WesBanco’s community banking segment offers services traditionally offered by full-service commercial banks, including commercial demand, individual demand and time deposit accounts, as well as commercial, mortgage and individual installment loans. The trust and investment services segment offers trust services as well as various alternative investment products including mutual funds. The market value of assets of the trust and investment services segment was approximately $2.6 billion at June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. These assets are held by the Bank, in fiduciary or agency capacities for their customers and therefore are not included as assets on WesBanco’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Management’s Discussion and Analysis represents an overview of the results of operations and financial condition of WesBanco, Inc. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Forward-looking statements in this report relating to WesBanco’s plans, strategies, objectives, expectations, intentions and adequacy of resources, are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The information contained in this report should be read in conjunction with WesBanco’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, as well as the Form 10-Q for the prior quarter ended March 31, 2005 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), which is available at the SEC’s website www.sec.gov or at WesBanco’s website, www.wesbanco.com . Investors are cautioned that forward-looking statements, which are not historical fact, involve risks and uncertainties, including those detailed in WesBanco’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC under the section "Risk Factors."  Such statements are subject to important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by such statements, including without limitation, the businesses of WesBanco and its recent acquisitions may not be integrated successfully or such integration may take longer to accomplish than expected; the expected cost savings and any revenue synergies from the mergers may not be fully realized within the expected time frames; disruption from the mergers may make it more difficult to maintain relationships with clients, associates, or suppliers; the effects of changing regional and national economic conditions; changes in interest rates, spreads on earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, and associated interest rate sensitivity; sources of liquidity available to the Parent Company and its related subsidiary operations; potential future credit losses and the credit risk of commercial, real estate, and consumer loan customers and their borrowing activities; actions of the Federal Reserve Board, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the SEC, the National Association of Securities Dealers and other regulatory bodies; potential legislative and federal and state regulatory actions and reform; competitive conditions in the financial services industry; rapidly changing technology affecting financial services and/or other external developments materially impacting WesBanco’s operational and financial performance. WesBanco does not assume any duty to update forward-looking statements.

APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
WesBanco’s critical accounting policies involving the significant judgments and assumptions used in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements as of June 30, 2005 have remained unchanged from the disclosures presented in WesBanco’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 under the section "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
WesBanco is a multi-state bank holding company operating at quarter-end through 85 banking offices, 2 loan production offices and 129 ATM machines in West Virginia, Ohio and Western Pennsylvania, offering retail banking, corporate banking, personal and corporate trust services, brokerage services, mortgage banking and insurance. WesBanco’s businesses are significantly impacted by economic factors such as market interest rates, federal monetary policies, local and regional economic conditions and the competitive environment influence upon WesBanco’s business volumes. WesBanco’s deposit levels are affected by numerous factors including personal savings rates, personal income, and competitive rates on alternative investments, as well as competition from other financial institutions within the markets we serve and liquidity needs of WesBanco. Loan levels are also subject to various factors including construction demand, business financing needs, consumer spending and interest rates and loan terms offered by competing lenders.
On January 3, 2005, WesBanco completed the acquisition of Winton, which was announced on August 25, 2004. The acquisition was consummated through the exchange of a combination of 2,296,511 shares of WesBanco common stock and cash totaling approximately $42.1 million. WesBanco recorded approximately $0.6 million in merger-related expenses related to this acquisition and recorded goodwill of $63.4 million and a core deposit intangible of $2.9 million. WesBanco completed the customer data conversion in late February 2005. As of January 3, 2005, Winton had total assets of approximately $551 million, loans of $482 million, deposits of $359 million, borrowings of $133 million and equity of $49 million and operated through seven banking locations, two loan production offices and 7 ATM’s in the greater Cincinnati, Ohio area. Please refer to Note 3, "Completed Business Combinations" and Note 7, "Goodwill and Core Deposit Intangible," of the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the Winton acquisition.
In February 2005, WesBanco’s Board of Directors authorized the increase of its dividend from $0.25 per share, per quarter to $0.26 per share, a 4.0% increase. In March 2005, WesBanco’s Board of Directors authorized a new one million share repurchase plan, which began in the second quarter of 2005 after the completion of the previous plan.
In March 2005, WesBanco, Inc. formed WesBanco Capital Trust VI, by issuing $15.0 million in fixed/floating rate junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures due March 17, 2035, to a statutory trust which issued $15.0 million trust preferred securities, with an initial rate of 6.37% for the first five years resetting quarterly beginning on March 17, 2010 at a rate equal to the 3-month London Inter Bank Offering Rate ("LIBOR") plus 1.77%. Please refer to Note 10, "Junior Subordinated Debt," of the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
In June 2005, WesBanco sold approximately $67.8 million of 1-4 family, fixed rate residential mortgage loans, with mortgage servicing rights retained, from its existing loan portfolio, at no significant gain or loss. The loans were sold primarily to reduce sensitivity to higher interest rates.
WesBanco’s results of operations are primarily dependent on its net interest income, which is the difference between the interest that WesBanco earns on its loans and investments and the interest expense it pays on its deposits and borrowings. During the first half of 2005, WesBanco’s net interest income grew primarily due to the Winton and Western Ohio acquisitions, as well as from an overall increase in average earning assets throughout 2004. The increase in net interest income was partially offset by a decline in the net interest margin primarily from higher borrowing costs and a change in WesBanco’s deposit funding mix due to the acquired deposits of Winton and Western Ohio being more heavily weighted towards higher costing certificates of deposit and to a lesser extent, additional Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") borrowings.
 
 
19
 
 
Total average loans increased primarily because of the Winton and Western Ohio acquisitions coupled with the continued growth in commercial lending. WesBanco has experienced growth mainly in commercial and commercial real estate loans as a result of a greater focus on new business development in all markets with a concentrated effort in the newer markets of southwestern Pennsylvania and central Ohio, as these areas have shown the potential for higher levels of growth. WesBanco expects growth opportunities to continue in commercial lending as WesBanco’s footprint expands in the central and western Ohio markets, and to a lesser extent, increased mortgage lending due to new marketing campaigns and the acquired operations of Winton, which on a historical basis, originated and sold higher volumes of mortgage loans in the secondary market than WesBanco has in the past. Home equity loan volumes are also anticipated to increase due to the increased marketing and promotional offers, although to date, such originations have not resulted in significant loan balances outstanding due to prepayments and lower line usage. WesBanco continues to analyze the current and expected profit opportunities from its indirect lending program and due to heavy competition has not experienced significant growth from this type of lending through automobile dealers. Recent efforts to expand this portion of the consumer loan portfolio have been primarily associated with recreational vehicle financing. Other direct consumer loans, while receiving greater branch sales emphasis, are not expected to grow significantly due primarily to customer preference for home equity products as a result of their tax-advantaged status. In relation to the loan portfolio, asset quality in the first half of 2005 continued to show marked improvement, with most ratios showing improvement over the same periods in 2004.
Total average investment securities during the first half of 2005 had no significant change as compared to the same period in 2004. Cash flows showed a slight decrease due to a slowing of pay downs received on mortgage-backed securities. WesBanco also had higher levels of investment securities sales during the first half of 2005 due to the repositioning of the acquired Winton investment portfolio.
Total average deposits increased since year end 2004, primarily due to the Winton acquisition. The average cost of deposits has increased as well since the deposits of the acquired institution contained a higher percentage of certificates of deposits, which are generally a more expensive category of deposits. Also influencing the cost of deposits was the normal repricing of certificates of deposit to current market rates and certain higher-tiered money market accounts tied to the prime rate index, as well as the overall increase in the competition’s deposit product rates. Throughout 2004, more emphasis was placed on lower interest cost transaction accounts, with a new campaign to market WesBanco’s free checking products and certain competitive special certificates of deposit offerings. WesBanco is continuing with this strategy in 2005, while also ensuring the competitiveness of its certificates of deposits and savings product offerings.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
EARNINGS SUMMARY
WesBanco’s earnings for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 were $11.3 million or $0.50 per diluted share compared to $9.4 million or $0.48 per diluted share in 2004. WesBanco’s earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2005 were $22.3 million or $0.98 per diluted share compared to $19.1 million or $0.97 per diluted share in 2004. The second quarter and first half of 2005 includes Winton, a $550 million thrift institution acquired on January 3, 2005. Please refer to Note 3, "Completed Business Combinations" of the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the Winton acquisition. For the second quarter and first half 2005, WesBanco’s financial performance was highlighted by growth in most categories of net interest income and non-interest income. These positive factors were partially offset by an overall increase in interest expense due to additional interest bearing liabilities and higher operating expenses primarily from an increase in salaries, wages, and employee benefit expense, the incremental costs associated with the additional branch structure from the Winton acquisition and acquisition related expenses.
Annualized return on average assets was 0.99% for the second quarter and first half of 2005, respectively, compared to 1.10% and 1.13% for the corresponding periods in 2004. Annualized return on equity was 10.66% and 10.54% for the second quarter and first half of 2005 respectively, compared to 11.80% and 12.02% for the same periods in 2004. These ratios have been negatively impacted due to the less profitable nature of the acquired thrifts’ balance sheets and acquisition related expenses.

Net interest income, which is WesBanco’s major revenue source, is the difference between interest income received by WesBanco on its earning assets (loans, securities and federal funds sold) and interest expense paid by WesBanco on its liabilities (deposits, short term and long term borrowings). Net interest income, which comprised 77.6% of total net revenues for six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to 75.8% for 2004, is affected by the general level of, and changes in, interest rates, the steepness of the yield curve, changes in the amount and composition of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, as well as the continued repricing of those assets and liabilities.
Net interest income increased for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2005, compared to the same periods in 2004, due to a $1.0 billion increase in average earning assets, with the majority of the increase attributable to the Winton and Western Ohio acquisitions. The net interest margin was 3.52% and 3.51% for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, compared to 3.67% and 3.69% for the same periods in 2004. The decrease in net interest margin for 2005 was primarily the result of a higher cost of funds due to funding costs increasing faster than the rates earned on loans and investment securities. Also affecting the net interest margin were the acquired assets of Winton and Western Ohio, which had net interest margins approximating between 2.90% and 3.00% after purchase accounting adjustments. WesBanco’s net interest margin for the second quarter was relatively flat with the first quarter’s 3.51% despite recent Federal Reserve rate increases, as core deposit rates have begun to respond to the increase in short-term market interest rates. With market rates anticipated to further increase over the course of the year, competitive factors for loans and deposits may result in further margin compression.

earning assets, with the majority of the increase attributable to the Winton and Western Ohio acquisitions, and the continued organic growth of commercial and commercial real estate loans. As shown in Table 2, the yield on average earning assets for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 increased by 29 and 22 basis points, respectively, compared to the yields for the same periods in 2004. The average yield for the investment portfolio increased to 4.94% for the three months ended June 30, 2005 compared to 4.76% for the same period in 2004 and on a year to date basis, increased to 4.93% from 4.78% for 2004.
Interest expense increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to 2004, due to an approximate $1.0 billion increase in average interest bearing liabilities for both periods, with the majority of the increase attributable to the Winton and Western Ohio acquisitions. As shown in table 2, the average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 increased by 44 and 39 basis points, respectively, compared to the yields for the same periods in 2004. The increase in rates paid on interest bearing liabilities was primarily due to the acquired institutions having a larger percentage of higher rates paid on certificates of deposits, as well as money market account rates tied to a percentage of the prime rate, which has increased 225 basis points since the second quarter of 2004. WesBanco is beginning to see a shift by customers out of certain tiers of money market accounts into more competitively priced deposit products offered in the market, including our own certificate of deposit and savings account offerings. Also impacting interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 was an overall increase in borrowed funds, primarily due to the additional longer term FHLB borrowings obtained in the Winton and Western Ohio acquisitions as well as an increase in the amount of junior subordinated debt, which was issued to assist in the funding of both acquisitions. Within the next year, $503.4 million in certificates of deposit are scheduled to mature. If interest rates continue to increase, these deposits, as well as certain core deposits, such as interest bearing checking, money market accounts and savings accounts, could re-price upward based on WesBanco’s current market rates.

(1) Total loans are gross of allowance for loan losses, net of unearned income and include loans held for sale. Non-accrual loans were included in the average volume for the entire period. Loan fees included in interest income on loans totaled $1.1 million and $2.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively and $0.8 million and $1.4 million for the same periods in 2004.
(2) Average yields on securities available for sale have been calculated based on amortized cost.
(3) The yield on earning assets and the net interest margin are presented on a fully taxable-equivalent (FTE) and annualized basis. The FTE basis adjusts for the tax benefit of income on certain tax-exempt loans and investments using the federal statutory tax rate of 35% for each period presented. WesBanco believes this measure to be the preferred industry measurement of net interest income and provides relevant comparison between taxable and non-taxable amounts.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
The provision for loan losses is determined by management as the amount to be added to the allowance for loan losses after net charge-offs have been deducted to bring the allowance to a level considered appropriate to absorb probable losses in the loan portfolio. The provision for loan losses was $1.9 million and $3.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, compared to $1.5 million and $3.3 million for the same periods in 2004.

Non-interest income is a significant source of revenue and plays an important part in WesBanco’s results of operations. WesBanco offers its customers a wide range of retail, commercial, investment and electronic banking services, which it views as a vital component of its strategy for retaining and attracting customers, as well as providing additional non-interest income to WesBanco.
Contributing to the increase in trust fees in 2005, were the replacement of certain low fee custodial accounts with higher revenue services and corresponding relationships, as well as an increase in the number of new accounts. The market value of trust assets was $2.6 billion at June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2004, respectively.
Service charges on deposit accounts increased due to growth in deposit accounts primarily from the Winton and Western Ohio acquisitions and to a lesser extent adjustments in the fee schedule. WesBanco intends to implement a new overdraft service charge product in the third quarter, which should increase such fees as the product is sold in WesBanco’s branches over the next few quarters.
Bank-owned life insurance income was relatively flat, despite WesBanco experiencing a decrease in the yields on the underlying variable-return investments. This decrease in return was partially offset by the income earned on the additional $9.3 million in bank-owned life insurance acquired from Western Ohio.
Net securities gains were higher for the second quarter and first half of 2005, compared to 2004. In the second quarter of 2005, WesBanco recorded a $0.7 million gain on the disposition of an equity security, which was previously noted in a Form 8-K filed in the first quarter of 2005.
 
22
 
Other income increased primarily due to the increase in Automated Teller Machine ("ATM") income and debit card interchange income due to additional cards issued during special promotions in 2004, as well as increased customer use of ATM’s. For the second quarter and first half of 2005, WesBanco sold $31.3 million and $42.6 million, respectively, in loans to the secondary market compared to $7.2 million and $11.6 million for the same periods in 2004. The higher volume for 2005 reflects the additional secondary mortgage loan operation obtained in the Winton acquisition, which generated additional loan sales to the secondary market. In June 2005, WesBanco sold approximately $67.8 million of 1-4 family, fixed rate residential real estate loans, with mortgage servicing rights retained, from its existing loan portfolio, at no significant gain or loss. The sale was completed in order to reduce exposure to potential rising interest rates and to improve the company’s asset/liability position.

The increase in salaries and wages for the second quarter and first half of 2005, compared to 2004, was primarily due to the number of full-time equivalent employees increasing from 1,161 at June 30, 2004 to 1,311 at June 30, 2005, with the majority of this increase attributable to the Winton and Western Ohio acquisitions, and to a lesser extent additional staffing in certain key areas. Anticipated staffing reductions in the Winton transaction did not begin until after the data processing conversion late in February 2005, with final staffing reductions from the Winton transaction occurring in the second quarter of 2005. In conjunction with the staffing reductions, the number of full-time equivalent employees has decreased from 1,358 at March 31, 2005 to 1,311 at June 30, 2005. In addition, salaries and wages were impacted by normal annual salary increases, which take effect mid-year, as well as additional production-related incentive compensation for employees meeting certain sales production goals, primarily in commercial and mortgage lending.
The increase in employee benefit costs for both the second quarter and first half of 2005, compared to 2004, is also commensurate with the rise in full time equivalent employees, as well as continued increases in health insurance premiums, which are affecting nearly all companies. Health insurance expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 increased $0.7 million or 71.2% and $0.8 million or 42.8% over 2004, primarily due to higher insurance premiums and an increase in the number of employees. Also contributing to the increase in employee benefit costs in 2005 is the corresponding rise in payroll taxes increasing in relation to the amount of salary expense. For both periods in 2005, WesBanco’s 401(k) expense increased $0.2 million or 158.9% and $0.4 million or 167.3% compared to the same periods in 2004 due to an increase in the match provided by the company and the increase in the number of full-time equivalent employees.
WesBanco’s net occupancy expense, which is comprised mainly of utility costs, office rental, general repairs and maintenance, maintenance agreements and depreciation expense for the second quarter and first half of 2005, increased over the same periods in 2004 primarily due to the increase in the number of branches from the Winton and Western Ohio acquisitions and the opening of two loan production offices and one new branch in western Pennsylvania late in 2004.
WesBanco equipment expense, which is comprised of equipment depreciation, rental, repairs and maintenance, and service agreements for both the second quarter and first half of 2005, increased over the same periods in 2004 primarily due to an increase in service agreement expense, higher depreciation expense and building lease expense from the Winton and Western Ohio acquisitions. WesBanco opted to have certain computer systems and ATM equipment covered by service agreements. Depreciation expense and building rental expense increased due to the additional 14 branches from the two acquisitions.
WesBanco’s core deposit intangible expense represents the amortization of the capitalized core deposit intangible. The increase in core deposit intangible expense was primarily due to the 2005 Winton acquisition and 2004 Western Ohio acquisition, which added an additional $0.7 million in expense to this category for 2005. Please refer to Note 7, "Goodwill and Core Deposit Intangibles," of the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.
Relative to the merger-related expenses recorded in 2005, nearly all of the expense represents the costs related to the Winton acquisition while the 2004 expense is comprised of expenses from the American acquisition. For 2005, WesBanco estimates that approximately $0.6 million in merger-related expenses from the 2005 Winton acquisition are to be recorded, with $0.1 million and $0.6 million being recorded in the second quarter and first half of 2005, respectively. Cost savings related to the Winton acquisition, which are estimated to be 16% to 20% of Winton’s pre-tax operating expenses of approximately $12.0 million annually, commenced in March 2005 and are expected to be fully realized later this year.
For the second quarter and first half of 2005, other operating expense increased in several key areas, due primarily to the additional branch network from the Winton and Western Ohio acquisitions, which caused a rise in nearly all expense categories within other operating expenses. One of the largest increases was in communication costs, which increased $0.3 million and $0.6 million compared to the second quarter and first half of 2004 primarily due to higher leased line and local and long distance telephone costs. For the same periods, professional fees increased $0.1 million and $0.5 million due to additional costs from outside consultants and audit fee increases. Other taxes for the second quarter and first half of 2005, compared to 2004 increased $0.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively, primarily due to an
 
 
23
 
increase in corporate franchise tax, which is based on the total capital of the company. Marketing expenses also increased $0.1 million and $0.3 million, compared to 2004, due to additional costs associated with certain product marketing campaigns, and increased marketing in Cincinnati, Ohio.

INCOME TAXES
The provision for income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 increased $1.0 million or 46.0% and $1.6 million or 34.7% compared to the same periods in 2004. The increase was primarily due to an increase in pretax income despite an increase in tax-exempt income and to a lesser extent, Winton and Western Ohio which both had effective tax rates approximating 33% prior to the respective merger. The effective tax rate for the quarter end June 30, 2005 increased to 21.8% compared to 18.7% for 2004. On a year to date basis for 2005 the effective tax rate increased to 21.5% compared to 19.2% for 2004. For the remainder of 2005 WesBanco anticipates the effective tax rate to approximate 21.5%.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
Total assets of WesBanco were $4.5 billion as of June 30, 2005, an increase of $485.4 million or 12.1% compared to December 31, 2004. Total liabilities of WesBanco were $4.1 billion as of June 30, 2005, an increase of $435.3 million or 12.0% compared to December 31, 2004. The increases were primarily due to the acquisition of Winton on January 3, 2005, which had total assets of approximately $551 million, loans of $482 million, deposits of $359 million, borrowings of $133 million and equity of $49 million.

(1) At June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, there were no holdings of any one issuer, other than the U.S. government and certain federal or federally-related agencies, in an amount greater than 10% of WesBanco’s shareholders’ equity.
(2) Other equity securities, classified as held to maturity at June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 consist primarily of Federal Reserve Bank stock and Federal Home Loan Bank stock.
(3) Other securities, classified as available for sale, include certain equity interests in business corporations.

Total investment securities, which represent a source of liquidity for WesBanco, decreased from December 31, 2004 to June 30, 2005, due to the sale of investment securities from the Winton acquisition, which at the acquisition date approximated $37.0 million, as well as increased sales of certain lower yielding investment securities, offset somewhat by purchases of additional obligations of states and political subdivisions. 
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, cash flows from the portfolio due to calls, maturities and prepayments were $55.8 million and $140.3 million, respectively, which were slightly lower than the $88.5 million and $157.0 million for the same periods in 2004. This decrease was primarily due to lower levels of prepayments on mortgage-backed securities and callable agencies for 2005 as calls and maturities were relatively consistent with 2004.
At June 30, 2005, total unamortized premium and discount on the investment portfolio, as a percentage of the total investment portfolio, was 0.65% and 1.63%, respectively, compared to 0.64% and 1.60% at December 31, 2004, respectively. The premium amortization on the investment portfolio recorded as a reduction to interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 was $0.9 million and $2.0 million, respectively, compared to $1.6 million and $3.2 million for the same periods in 2004. Total premium on the investment portfolio, which relates primarily to collateralized mortgage obligations and mortgage-backed securities in the available for sale portion of the portfolio, is subject to increased amortization in times of accelerated prepayments.
The discount accretion on the investment portfolio recorded into income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 was $0.5 million and $0.9 million, respectively, compared to $0.4 million and $0.9 million for the same periods in 2004. The discount primarily relates to obligations of states and political subdivisions, which comprised 97.6% of the total discount at June 30, 2005.

WesBanco believes that all of the securities in an unrealized loss position at June 30, 2005 are considered temporary impairment losses due to the securities having lower interest rates than current market interest rates. The difference in rates causes the securities fair value to fluctuate in response to prevailing market interest rates. None of the securities in an unrealized loss position at June 30, 2005 is in a non-investment grade category security.
Accordingly, as of June 30, 2005, management believes the unrealized losses are temporary and no impairment loss has been recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Please refer to Note 4, "Securities," of the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.
Unrealized pre-tax gains and losses on available for sale securities (fair value adjustments) reflected a $4.4 million market loss as of June 30, 2005, compared to a $1.6 million market loss as of December 31, 2004. These fair value adjustments represent temporary fluctuations resulting from changes in market rates in relation to fixed yields in the available for sale portfolio and are accounted for as an adjustment to other comprehensive income in shareholders’ equity. WesBanco may impact the magnitude of the fair value adjustment by managing both the volume and average maturities of securities that are classified as available for sale as well as the portion of new investments allocated to this category versus the held to maturity portfolio.
If these securities were held to their respective maturity dates, no fair value gain or loss would be realized. During the second quarter and first half of 2005, proceeds from the sale of available for sale securities were $42.2 million and $114.9 million, respectively, compared to $17.2 million and $66.8 million for the same periods in 2004. In the first half of 2005, gross security gains of $1.8 million and gross security losses of $28 thousand were realized, compared to $0.8 million and $37 thousand, respectively, for the same period in 2004.

LOANS AND CREDIT RISK
The loan portfolio is WesBanco’s single largest balance sheet asset classification and the largest source of interest income. The risk that borrowers will be unable or unwilling to repay their obligations and default on loans is inherent in all lending activities. In addition to the inherent risk of a change in a borrower’s repayment capacity, economic conditions and other factors beyond WesBanco’s control can adversely impact credit risk. WesBanco’s primary goal in managing credit risk is to minimize the impact of default by an individual borrower or group of borrowers. Credit risk is managed through the initial underwriting process as well as through ongoing monitoring and administration of the loan portfolio that varies by category. WesBanco’s credit policies establish standard underwriting guidelines for each type of loan and require an appropriate evaluation of the credit characteristics of each borrower. This evaluation includes the borrower’s repayment capacity; the adequacy of collateral, if any, to secure the loan; and other factors unique to each loan that may increase or mitigate its risk.
WesBanco’s loan portfolio consists of the five major categories of lending set forth in Table 7. WesBanco makes loans for business and consumer purposes. Business purpose loans consist of commercial and commercial real estate loans, while consumer purpose loans consist of residential real estate loans, home equity and other consumer loans. Each category entails certain distinct elements of risk that impact the manner in which those loans are underwritten, monitored, and administered. The elements of risk that are distinct to a particular category of loans are explained further within that category of loans’ section of this Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

(1) Loans are presented gross of the allowance for loan losses, and net of unearned income on consumer loans and unamortized net deferred loan fees.

The increase in total loans between December 31, 2004 and June 30, 2005 is primarily due to the Winton acquisition, which added approximately $477 million to WesBanco’s loan portfolio at the time of the merger and continued organic loan growth primarily in the commercial and commercial real estate categories, which was partially offset by the sale of $67.8 million in residential real estate loans in June 2005. On a linked quarter basis from the first quarter of 2005, organic loan growth was approximately $35 million or 1.2% for the second quarter of 2005.
In order to attract potential home borrowers, WesBanco offers rate lock commitments to such potential borrowers. The commitments are generally for sixty days and guarantee a specified interest rate for a loan if underwriting standards are met, but the commitment does not obligate the potential borrower to close on the loan. Accordingly, some commitments expire prior to becoming loans. For all rate lock commitments issued in connection with potential loans intended for sale, which currently consist of all originated twenty and thirty year fixed rate residential home mortgage loan products, the bank enters into one-to-one forward sales contracts on a best efforts basis (if the loan does not close for whatever reason, there is no obligation on WesBanco’s part to sell the loan to the investor). WesBanco enters into such contracts in order to control interest rate risk under an asset/liability strategy that is meant to limit risk from holding longer-term mortgages. Whenever a customer desires these products, a mortgage originator quotes a secondary market rate, guaranteed for that day by the investor. The rate lock is executed between the mortgagee and WesBanco, and in turn, a forward sales contract is executed between WesBanco and the investor. Both the rate lock commitment and the corresponding forward sales contract for each customer are considered derivatives under SFAS No. 133, as amended. As such, changes in the fair value of the derivatives during the commitment period are recorded in current earnings and included in other income on the Consolidated Statements of Income. Should the loan close before the end of a period but prior to funding by the investor, it is accounted for in "Loans Held for Sale," on WesBanco’s Consolidated Balance Sheets at the lower of cost or
 
25
 
 market. At June 30, 2005, Loans Held for Sale totaled $8.5 million. At June 30, 2005, the fair value adjustment of the forward sales commitments to the investor included in the gain on sale of mortgage loans was $42 thousand while the loss on the fair value of the interest rate lock commitments to customers was $0.1 million.

NON-PERFORMING ASSETS, IMPAIRED LOANS AND LOANS PAST DUE 90 DAYS OR MORE
Non-performing assets consist of non-accrual and renegotiated loans, other real estate acquired through or in lieu of foreclosure, bank premises held for sale, and repossessed automobiles acquired to satisfy defaulted consumer loans. Other impaired loans include certain loans that are internally classified as substandard or doubtful.
Loans are placed on non-accrual status when they become past due 90 days or more unless they are both well secured and in the process of collection. Except for certain consumer and residential real estate loans, when a loan is placed on non-accrual, interest income may not be recognized as cash payments are received.
Loans are categorized as renegotiated when WesBanco, for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower’s financial difficulties, grants a concession to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider. Concessions that may be granted include a reduction of the interest rate, the amount of accrued interest, or the face amount of the loan; as well as an extension of the maturity date or the amortization schedule. Loans may be removed from renegotiated status after they have performed according to the renegotiated terms for a period of time.
WesBanco considers loans that are classified as substandard or doubtful because of a borrower’s diminished repayment capacity to be impaired when they are not fully secured by collateral or the observable market price for the loan is less than the outstanding balance. Such loans continue to accrue interest, have not been renegotiated, and may or may not have a record of delinquent payments. Also included in other impaired loans are loans acquired through acquisition that are subject to the guidance required under SOP 03-3 which show evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination and for which it is probable at acquisition, that all contractually required payments would not be collected.
Other real estate and repossessed assets consists primarily of real estate acquired through or in lieu of foreclosure and repossessed automobiles or other personal property. This category may also include bank premises held for sale and residential real estate of relocated employees, which do not arise as a result of lending activities.

Non-performing assets, which are defined as non-accrual and renegotiated loans, and other real estate owned increased $2.8 million between December 31, 2004 and June 30, 2005 while other impaired loans decreased $4.3 million during the same period. The increase in non-performing loans is primarily due to certain loans migrating from the other impaired category during the period, including $1.5 million of loans acquired from Winton. Other impaired loans also decreased as a result of principal repayments and WesBanco’s success
 
26
 
implementing various risk reduction strategies to remove those loans from the portfolio.
Other real estate owned and repossessed assets increased slightly between December 31, 2004 and June 30, 2005 due to an increase in repossessed assets which was partially offset by a decrease in other real estate owned due to sales of foreclosed property. Residential real estate of relocated employees included in other real estate and repossessed assets were $0.4 million at June 30, 2005 and $0.5 million at December 31, 2004.
Loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest were relatively unchanged from December 31, 2004 to June 30, 2005. All categories decreased except for residential real estate loans, which increased primarily due to the portfolio containing a higher percentage of these types of loans.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
The allowance for loan losses increased between December 31, 2004 and June 30, 2005 primarily as a result of the acquired allowance of Winton, which after the application of SOP 03-3, approximated $1.9 million. The reduction in the allowance as a percentage of total loans is primarily attributable to the net decrease in total non-performing and other impaired loans, and the change in composition of the loan portfolio as a result of the Western Ohio and Winton acquisitions. Both of the acquired companies' loan portfolios were more heavily weighted to residential real estate loans, which have the lowest historical loss rate of any category of loans.

(1) Specific reserves have been adjusted to reclassify amounts disclosed as part of that component in prior years to be consistent with their current period classification. These amounts represent allocations for pools of loans that were not individually tested for impairment, which are therefore more appropriately categorized as general reserves.

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level considered appropriate by management to absorb probable losses in the loan
 
27
 
portfolio. The provision for loan losses is the amount that is added to the allowance after net charge-offs have been deducted to bring the allowance to the necessary level based on management’s estimate of probable losses. Determining the amount of the allowance requires significant judgement about the collectibility of loans and the factors that deserve consideration in estimating probable credit losses. Management evaluates the adequacy of the allowance at least quarterly. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates that may be susceptible to significant change.
Larger commercial and commercial real estate loans that exhibit observed credit weaknesses and are deemed to be impaired pursuant to SFAS No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan" are subject to individual review. Where appropriate, reserves are established for these loans based on the present value of expected future cash flows available to pay the loan and/or the estimated realizable value of the collateral, if any. Reserves are established for the remainder of the commercial and commercial real estate loans based on a migration analysis, which computes historical loss rates on loans according to their internal risk grade. The risk grading system is intended to identify and measure the credit quality of all commercial and commercial real estate loans. Homogenous loans, such as consumer, residential real estate and home equity loans are not individually risk graded. Reserves for homogenous loans are based on average historical loss rates for each category. Historical loss rates for all categories of loans are calculated for multiple periods of time ranging from the most recent quarter to the past three years. Historical loss rates may be adjusted to reflect factors that, in management's judgement, impact expected loss rates such as changing economic conditions, delinquency and non-performing loan trends, changes in internal lending policies and credit standards, and the results of examinations by bank regulatory agencies and WesBanco's independent loan review function.
Management relies on observable data from internal and external sources to evaluate each of these factors, adjust assumptions and recognize changing conditions to reduce differences between estimated and actual observed losses from period to period. The evaluation of the allowance also takes into consideration the inherent imprecision of loss estimation models and techniques and includes general reserves for probable but undetected losses in each category of loans. While WesBanco continually refines and enhances the loss estimation models and techniques it uses to determine the appropriateness of the allowance for loan losses, there have been no material substantive changes to such models and techniques compared to prior periods. While management allocates the allowance to different loan categories, the allowance is general in nature and is available to absorb credit losses for the entire loan portfolio.
Net charge-offs increased $0.6 million between June 30, 2004 and June 30, 2005 but decreased as a percentage of total loans. Commercial loan losses increased due to higher charge-offs on small business loans and approximately $0.7 million attributable to a fraudulent lease transaction. However, consumer loan losses decreased as a result of lower losses recognized during the period net of higher recoveries from increased collection efforts on previously charged off consumer loans.
The SFAS No. 114 allocation for impaired loans is also an important factor in evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. Specific allocations decreased from December 31, 2004 to June 30, 2005 primarily due to a decrease in the amount of impaired loans that required allocations. This change also reflects WesBanco’s success in implementing risk reduction strategies during 2004 to remove those impaired loans with the greatest risk of loss from the portfolio. Sales of impaired commercial real estate loans in 2004 eliminated approximately $0.4 million of specific allocations.
The general economy continued to rebound and contributed to strong loan demand and growth throughout 2004. However, pockets of economic weakness or uncertainty exist in one or more of WesBanco’s markets, the most significant of which is the Upper Ohio Valley, which represents approximately 25 to 30 percent of WesBanco’s loan portfolio. The Upper Ohio Valley economy continues to be adversely impacted by the difficulties that have faced the primary metals industries in recent years. One of the ten largest integrated steel companies in the United States is headquartered in the Upper Ohio Valley, operated under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Act for a period of time in 2004 and has significantly reduced its workforce. While the prospects of both of  its two principal steel companies have improved, with one emerging from bankruptcy and resuming profitable operations and the other selling to a large integrated steel company which in turn sold to an overseas-based company, the longer-term outlook is still uncertain. In addition, a leading producer of aluminum headquartered in the Upper Ohio Valley is currently operating under Chapter 11 protection and has curtailed or shuttered certain of its operating facilities and is involved in an extended labor dispute. As of June 30, 2005, WesBanco had no material direct credit exposure to the steel or aluminum producing industries. However, WesBanco extends credit to consumers employed in those industries and to businesses that provide products or services to the industries. In addition, a number of other businesses not directly associated with the primary metals industry would be adversely impacted by a significant loss of employment. The recent acquisitions of Western Ohio in August 2004 and Winton in January 2005 combined with organic loan growth in the Columbus, Ohio and western Pennsylvania markets throughout 2004 have significantly changed the geographic distribution of WesBanco's loan portfolio and reduced the percentage of total loans that are impacted by the Upper Ohio Valley economy.
There are no other markets in which WesBanco operates that have been as severely impacted by local economic conditions or industry specific concerns as the Upper Ohio Valley. However, weakness in other parts of the manufacturing sector became evident in other markets toward the latter part of 2004 and there has also been some deterioration in the credit quality of loans to small businesses in 2004. Many small companies have been under significant pressure from new competition, fundamental changes in their respective industries, and the impact of the protracted economic downturn of the last two years on the profitability of their operations.

Between December 31, 2004 and June 30, 2005, the allowance for commercial real estate loans increased primarily due to the Winton acquisition and the allowance for commercial loans increased as a result of recent higher losses in that category. Changes in the amounts allocated to all categories of loans also reflect the combined impact of changes in historical loss rates, judgmental allocations for economic factors, and the respective changes in loan balances as a result of organic loan growth.

Management believes the allowance of $32.3 million is appropriate to absorb probable credit losses associated with the loan portfolio at June 30, 2005. However, probable losses associated with the economic conditions described above is difficult to accurately measure and future adjustments to the allowance and the provision for loan losses may be required to the extent such losses become more probable than is currently estimable.

Deposits, which represent WesBanco’s primary source of funds, are offered in various account forms at various rates through WesBanco’s 85 branches in West Virginia, Ohio and Western Pennsylvania. All categories of deposits, except for money markets, increased between December 31, 2004 and June 30, 2005, primarily from the Winton acquisition, which added approximately $359 million in deposits to WesBanco’s balance sheet at the time of acquisition, with the main account concentration being in certificates of deposit.
WesBanco is continuing to place increased marketing emphasis on transaction-based accounts, which are typically viewed as a lower-cost funding source and may also provide WesBanco ancillary activity fee income. Included in the money market category is the WesBanco Prime Rate Money Market Account, which permits limited check writing and pays interest on a tiered structure based on the customer’s outstanding balance, with the highest tier above $100,000 indexed to the prime rate of interest. During the prior years’ lower interest rate environment, customers favored WesBanco’s variable rate deposit products over fixed rate certificates of deposit, but as rates have begun to rise since the third quarter of 2004 and have continued this trend through the first half of 2005, WesBanco has noted an increase in certificates of deposit with a corresponding decrease in money market accounts as customers seek the higher rates offered on longer term certificates of deposit and other competitively priced deposit products.
Within the next year, $503.4 million in certificates of deposit are scheduled to mature. If interest rates continue to rise in 2005, these deposits could re-price upward based on WesBanco’s current rates at that time, which could impact the net interest margin if WesBanco decides to pursue these types of deposits over other types of deposit accounts, based on WesBanco’s liquidity needs. For 2005, WesBanco will continue its focus on deposit growth leading with lower cost transaction based accounts, as well as offering special promotions on certain certificates of deposit maturities and savings products based on competition, sales strategies, liquidity needs and wholesale borrowing costs.

WesBanco is a member of the FHLB of Pittsburgh. The FHLB system functions as a borrowing source for regulated financial institutions that are engaged in residential real estate lending. WesBanco uses term FHLB borrowings as a general funding source and to more appropriately match certain assets, as an alternative to shorter-term wholesale borrowings. FHLB borrowings are secured by a blanket lien by the FHLB on certain residential mortgage loans or securities with a market value at least equal to the outstanding balances. The terms of a security agreement with the FHLB of Pittsburgh include a specific assignment of collateral that requires the maintenance of qualifying first mortgage loans as pledged collateral with unpaid principal amounts at least equal to or greater than the FHLB advances, when discounted at 83% of the unpaid principal balance. The FHLB of Pittsburgh stock, which is recorded at cost of $48.0 million at June 30, 2005, is also pledged as collateral for these advances. The remaining maximum borrowing capacity with the FHLB of Pittsburgh at June 30, 2005, which WesBanco is approved for collateralized advances, is $1.5 billion compared to $915.5 million at December 31, 2004.
At June 30, 2005, WesBanco had $673.2 million in outstanding FHLB borrowings, from both the FHLB of Pittsburgh and Cincinnati, with a weighted average interest rate of 3.34%, compared to $599.4 million at December 31, 2004 with a weighted average interest rate of 3.31%. The increase was primarily due to the additional $119.3 million in net new FHLB of Cincinnati borrowings assumed in the Winton acquisition, less paydowns occurring since that time and as result of the loan sale in June 2005.
WesBanco’s FHLB borrowings have maturities ranging from the years 2005 to 2027. WesBanco uses term FHLB borrowings as a general funding source and to more appropriately match certain assets, as an alternative to shorter-term wholesale borrowings.   WesBanco periodically analyzes overall maturities of its FHLB borrowings and may restructure such borrowings through prepayments, which may cause WesBanco to incur a prepayment penalty.
Certain FHLB advances contain call features, which allows the FHLB to convert a fixed rate borrowing to a variable rate advance if the strike rate goes beyond a certain predetermined rate. The probability that these advances and repurchase agreements will be called depends primarily on the level of related interest rates during the call period. Of the $673.2 million outstanding at June 30, 2005, in FHLB of Pittsburgh convertible select fixed rate advances with a carrying value of $105.2 million and FHLB of Cincinnati convertible fixed rate

advances with a carrying value of $91.3 million are subject to conversion to a variable rate advance by the respective FHLB issuer.   Please refer to Note 8, "Federal Home Loan Bank Borrowings," of the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

OTHER BORROWINGS
Other borrowings, which consist of federal funds purchased, securities sold under agreement to repurchase, treasury tax and loan notes and a revolving line of credit, at June 30, 2005 were $226.4 million compared to $200.5 million at December 31, 2004. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the revolving line of credit as well as an increase in federal funds purchased.
The revolving line of credit is a senior obligation of the parent company for an initial two-year period subject to renewal from a large southeastern U.S.-based bank. WesBanco increased this line of credit in 2004 to $35.0 million and at June 30, 2005 had an outstanding balance of $12.5 million. The line has various performance covenants and other obligations, as amended in March 2005, which WesBanco was in compliance with at June 30, 2005, and depending on tangible capital has a rate between the one-month LIBOR plus 90 basis points and the one-month LIBOR plus 140 basis points, plus an unused line commitment fee of 12.5 basis points. WesBanco utilized $20.0 million of the revolving line of credit in January of 2005 to fund part of the cash portion of the Winton acquisition and to fund WesBanco’s current share repurchase program. WesBanco paid down the line of credit to a balance of $12.5 million by the end of the second quarter of 2005. Please refer to Note 9, "Other Borrowings," of the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
In March of 2005, WesBanco created a wholly-owned trust subsidiary, WesBanco Capital Trust VI, which issued $15.5 million of junior subordinated debt to WesBanco at the parent company level, at an initial weighted average rate of 6.37%. The proceeds received from the issuance of the trust preferred securities will be used for general corporate purposes, which may include, among other things, share repurchases, potential acquisitions and employee benefit plans. Please refer to Note 10, "Junior Subordinated Debt," of the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

CAPITAL RESOURCES
Shareholders' equity was $420.2 million at June 30, 2005 compared to $370.2 million at December 31, 2004. Book value was $18.82 per share at June 30, 2005 and $17.77 at December 31, 2004. The increase in total equity was due to the issuance of approximately 2.3 million shares of common stock, with an approximate value of $65.3 million, that was issued in conjunction with the Winton acquisition as well as current year earnings of $22.3 million. During the second quarter and first half of 2005, WesBanco also became more active in the repurchase of its common stock by purchasing nearly a million shares with a value of $27.5 million. In 2004, WesBanco was limited by SEC rules that reduce a company’s ability to repurchase it shares during periods of pending acquisitions. The increase in total equity was partially offset by the payment of $11.8 million in dividends and a $1.3 million change in comprehensive income. In March 2005, WesBanco’s Board of Directors authorized a new one million share repurchase plan, which began in April 2005 upon completion of the former one million share plan. In February 2005, WesBanco’s Board of Directors authorized the increase of its dividend from $0.25 per share, per quarter to $0.26 per share, a 4.0% increase. This dividend increase represented the twentieth consecutive year of dividend increases at WesBanco.
WesBanco is subject to risk-based capital guidelines that measure capital relative to risk-weighted assets and off-balance sheet instruments. WesBanco and the Bank maintain Tier 1, Total Capital and Leverage ratios well above minimum regulatory levels. There are various legal limitations under Federal and State laws that limit the payment of dividends from the Bank to the parent company. As of June 30, 2005, the parent company may receive without prior regulatory approval a dividend of up to $12.3 million from the Bank. WesBanco and its banking subsidiary were categorized as "well-capitalized" under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act at June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004. There are no conditions or events since June 30, 2005 that management believes have changed WesBanco's "well-capitalized" category. Please refer to Note 15, "Regulatory Matters," of the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on capital amounts, ratios and minimum regulatory requirements.
In addition, WesBanco’s parent company line of credit agreement requires the maintenance of a minimum tangible shareholders’ equity to tangible total assets of 5.75 % to 6.00% under certain conditions, and at June 30, 2005, such ratio was 6.24% compared to 7.29% at December 31, 2004. For this purpose, tangible shareholders’ equity excludes goodwill and other intangibles, with similar deductions from total assets. Please refer to Note 3, "Completed Business Combinations," of the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on this acquisition.

LIQUIDITY RISK
Liquidity is defined as the degree of readiness to convert assets into cash with minimum loss. Liquidity risk is managed through WesBanco’s ability to provide adequate funds to meet changes in loan demand, unexpected outflows in deposits and other borrowings as well as to take advantage of market opportunities and meet operating cash needs. This is accomplished by maintaining liquid assets in the form of securities, sufficient borrowing capacity and a stable core deposit base. Liquidity is centrally monitored by WesBanco’s Asset/Liability Management Committee ("ALCO").
WesBanco determines the degree of required liquidity by the relationship of total holdings of liquid assets to the possible need for funds to meet unexpected deposit losses and/or loan demands. The ability to quickly convert assets to cash at a minimal loss is a primary function of WesBanco’s investment portfolio management. Federal funds sold and U.S. Treasury and Federal Agency Securities maturing within three months are classified as secondary reserve assets. These secondary reserve assets, combined with the cash flows from the loan portfolio and the remaining sectors of the investment portfolio, and other sources, and are intended to adequately meet the liquidity requirements of WesBanco.
Securities are the principal source of liquidity in total assets. Securities totaled $1.1 billion at June 30, 2005, of which $690.5 million were classified as available for sale. At June 30, 2005, WesBanco had approximately $18.4 million in securities scheduled to mature within one year compared to $43.0 million for the same period in 2004. Additional cash flows may be anticipated from approximately $191.3 million in callable bonds, which have call dates within the next year, compared to $244.4 million at June 30, 2004.
At June 30, 2005, WesBanco had $359.4 million in investment securities in an unrealized loss position for less than 12 months and $254.4 million in investment securities in an unrealized loss position for more than 12 months. These securities in an unrealized loss position may not be available to meet WesBanco’s short-term liquidity needs if management indicates its ability and intent to hold such loss position securities for a period of time sufficient for recovery of cost. At June 30, 2005, WesBanco has $95.4 million of cash and cash equivalents, a portion of which may also serve as additional sources of liquidity.
Deposit flows are another principal factor affecting overall bank liquidity. Deposits totaled $3.1 billion at June 30, 2005. Deposit flows
 
30
 
are impacted by current interest rates, products and rates offered by WesBanco versus its competition, as well as customer behavior. Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature within one year totaled $503.4 million at June 30, 2005, which includes $175.9 million in certificates of deposit with balances of $100,000 or more. In addition to the relatively stable core deposit base, the Bank maintains a line of credit with the FHLB as an additional funding source. The available line of credit with the FHLB at June 30, 2005 approximated $1.5 billion. At June 30, 2005, WesBanco had unpledged securities with a book value of $500.6 million that could be used for collateral or sold, excluding FHLB blanket liens on WesBanco’s mortgage-related assets. During 2004, certain Member offices of the FHLB system experienced financial difficulty. Should WesBanco cease using FHLB advances due to weakness in that particular bank, WesBanco may be forced to find alternative funding sources. Such alternative funding sources may include the issuance of additional junior subordinated debt within allowed capital guidelines, utilization of existing lines of credit with third party banks along with seeking other lines of credit, borrowings under repurchase agreement lines, increasing deposit rates to attract additional funds, accessing brokered deposits as well as selling certain investment securities categorized as available for sale in order to maintain adequate levels of liquidity. The FHLB of Pittsburgh paid a dividend approximating 2.62% for the second quarter of 2005, up from 2.43% for the fourth quarter of 2004, which may indicate the FHLB of Pittsburgh’s improving financial strength.
The principal sources of the Parent Company’s liquidity are dividends from the Bank, the Parent’s investment security portfolio as well as a revolving line of credit with another bank. There are various legal limitations under Federal and State laws that limit the payment of dividends from the Bank to the Parent Company. As of June 30, 2005, the Parent Company may receive without prior regulatory approval a dividend of up to $12.3 million from the Bank. The available lines of credit with an independent commercial bank and the Bank totaled $38.5 million at June 30, 2005, with a total outstanding balance of $15.5 million as of June 30, 2005. In March of 2005, WesBanco issued $15.5 million in junior subordinated debt, which gave the parent company added liquidity to be used for general corporate purposes, which may include, among other things, share repurchases, potential acquisitions and for employee benefit plans.
At June 30, 2005, WesBanco had outstanding commitments to extend credit in the ordinary course of business approximating $505.4 million compared to $431.3 million at the December 31, 2004. On a historical basis, only a small portion of these commitments will result in an outflow of funds.
Management believes WesBanco has sufficient liquidity to meet current obligations to borrowers, depositors and others.

ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK  
The disclosures set forth in this item are qualified by the section captioned "Forward-Looking Statements" included in Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of this report.

MARKET RISK
The primary objective of WesBanco’s asset/liability management ("ALM") function is to maximize net interest income within established policy parameters. This objective is accomplished through the management of balance sheet composition, market risk exposures arising from changing economic conditions and liquidity risk.
Market risk is defined as the risk of loss due to adverse changes in the fair value of financial instruments resulting from fluctuations in interest rates and equity prices. Management considers interest rate risk WesBanco’s most significant market risk. Interest rate risk is the exposure to adverse changes in net interest income due to changes in interest rates. Consistency of WesBanco’s net interest income is largely dependent on effective management of interest rate risk. As interest rates change in the market, rates earned on interest rate sensitive assets and rates paid on interest rate sensitive liabilities do not necessarily move concurrently. Differing rate sensitivities may arise because fixed rate assets and liabilities may not have the same maturities or because variable rate assets and liabilities differ in the timing and/or the percentage of rate changes.
WesBanco’s ALCO, comprised of senior management, monitors and manages interest rate risk within Board approved policy limits. Interest rate risk is monitored primarily through the use of an earnings simulation model. The model is highly dependent on assumptions, which change regularly as adjustments occur in the balance sheet and interest rates change. The key assumptions and strategies employed are analyzed regularly and reviewed by ALCO.
The earnings simulation model projects changes in net interest income resulting from the effect of changes in interest rates. Certain shortcomings are inherent in the methodologies used in the earnings simulation model. Modeling changes in net interest income requires making certain assumptions regarding prepayment rates, callable bonds, and adjustments to non-time deposit interest rates which may or may not reflect the manner in which actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest rates. Prepayment assumptions and adjustments to non-time deposit rates at varying levels of interest rates are based primarily on historical experience and current market rates. Security portfolio maturities and prepayments are assumed to be reinvested in similar instruments and callable bond forecasts are adjusted at varying levels of interest rates. While management believes such assumptions are reasonable, there can be no assurance that assumed prepayment rates, callable bond forecasts and non-time deposit rate changes will approximate actual future results. Moreover, the net interest income sensitivity chart presented in Table 1, "Net Interest Income Sensitivity," assumes the composition of interest sensitive assets and liabilities existing at the beginning of the period remains constant over the period being measured and also assumes that a particular change in interest rates is reflected uniformly across the yield curve regardless of the duration of the maturity or re-pricing of specific assets and liabilities. Since the assumptions used in modeling changes in interest rates are uncertain, the simulation analysis should not be relied upon as being indicative of actual results. The analysis may not consider all actions that WesBanco could employ in response to changes in interest rates.
Interest rate risk policy limits are determined by measuring the anticipated change in net interest income over a 12-month period assuming an immediate and sustained 200 basis point increase or decrease in market interest rates compared to a stable rate or base model. WesBanco’s current policy limits this exposure to +/- 10.0% of net interest income from the base model for a 12-month period. Table 1, "Net Interest Income Sensitivity," shows WesBanco’s interest rate sensitivity at June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 assuming both a 200 and 100 basis point interest rate change, compared to a base model.

With the federal funds rate at 3.25% at June 30, 2005 and interest rates directionally increasing, management believes that a decline of 200 basis points in rates is highly unlikely. The earnings simulation model projects that net interest income for the next 12-month period would decrease by approximately 0.61% and 3.79% if interest rates were to rise immediately by 100 and 200 basis points, respectively. Net interest income would decrease by approximately 0.19% and 1.84% if interest rates were to decline by 100 and 200 basis points, respectively. At June 30, 2005, WesBanco’s increased exposure to rising interest rates was impacted by assumptions on callable bonds and by a decrease in the interest sensitivity of the loan portfolio due to an increased amount of fixed rate residential real estate loans acquired from Winton and Western Ohio and by the shorter maturities of certificates of deposit and FHLB borrowings.
As an alternative to the immediate rate shock analysis, the ALCO monitors interest rate risk by ramping or increasing interest rates 200 basis points gradually over a 12-month period. WesBanco’s current policy limits this exposure to +/- 5.0% of net interest income from the base model for a 12-month period. Management believes that the ramping analysis reflects a more realistic movement of interest rates, whereas the immediate rate shock reflects a worse case scenario. The simulation model using the 200 basis point ramp analysis projects that net interest income would decrease 0.34% over the next 12-months.
WesBanco’s ALCO evaluates various strategies to reduce the exposure to interest rate fluctuations. These strategies at June 30, 2005 emphasized increasing asset sensitivity in anticipation of rising interest rates. Among the strategies that are evaluated from time to time are the utilization of interest rate swap agreements and the evaluation of the level and possible prepayment of certain higher-cost FHLB borrowings. The current interest rate swap agreements employed by WesBanco were purchased at various times in 2001 to effectively convert a portion of prime rate money market deposits to a fixed-rate basis. At June 30, 2005, the notional value of the interest rate swap agreements was $82.3 million, compared to $87.4 million at December 31, 2004. Related market losses of $1.0 million, net of tax, at June 30, 2005 compared to a market loss of $1.5 million, net of tax, at December 31, 2004, are recorded in other comprehensive income.
Other strategies evaluated by ALCO include managing the level of WesBanco’s fixed rate residential real estate loans, the purchase of shorter term or variable rate residential real estate loan pools, additional sales of existing portfolio 15 and 30 year mortgages, shortening maturities in the securities portfolio, emphasizing lower cost transaction-based accounts, growth in intermediate and long-term certificate of deposit products, special premium savings accounts and attempting to maintain increased liquidity to fund loans while not fully reinvesting investment security proceeds from maturities, calls and repayments.

ITEM 4: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.   WesBanco’s Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") have concluded that WesBanco’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), based on their evaluation of these controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q, are effective at the reasonable assurance level as discussed below to ensure that information required to be disclosed by WesBanco in the reports it files under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission and that such information is accumulated and communicated to WesBanco’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Limitations on the effectiveness of controls. WesBanco’s management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that WesBanco’s disclosure controls and internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls.
Changes in internal controls. Our CEO and our CFO have evaluated the changes to WesBanco’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2005, as required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and have concluded that there were no such changes that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II
ITEM 1: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On March 1, 2002, WesBanco consummated its acquisition of American Bancorporation through a series of corporate mergers. At the time of the consummation of this transaction, American Bancorporation was a defendant in a suit styled Martin, et al. v. The American Bancorporation Retirement Plan, et al., under Civil Action No. 5:2000-CV-168 (Broadwater), pending in the United States District Court for the Northern District of West Virginia. WesBanco became the principal defendant in this suit by reason of the merger. This case involves a class action suit against American Bancorporation by certain beneficiaries of the American Bancorporation Defined Benefit Retirement Plan (the "Plan") seeking to challenge benefit calculations and methodologies used by the Plan Administrator in determining benefits under the Plan which was frozen by American Bancorporation, as to benefit accruals, some years ago. The Plan had been the subject of a predecessor action in a case styled American Bancorporation Retirement Plan, et al. v. McKain, Civil Action No. 5:93-CV-110, which was also litigated in the United States District Court for the Northern District of West Virginia. The McKain case resulted in an Order entered by the District Court on September 22, 1995, which directed American Bancorporation to follow a specific method for determining retirement benefits under the Plan. American Bancorporation has asserted that it has calculated the benefits in accordance with the requirements of the 1995 Order. The purported class of plaintiffs have asserted that they are not bound by the 1995 Order since they were not parties to that proceeding and are seeking a separate benefit determination. The District Court in the current case limited the class of plaintiffs to a group of approximately 37 individuals and granted partial summary judgment to significantly reduce the scope and extent of the case. The Court subsequently granted summary judgment in favor of WesBanco on the remaining claims on March 31, 2004, and the plaintiff appealed the decision to the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals.
The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals issued an opinion dated May 11, 2005, which reversed the District Court’s earlier grant of summary judgment on behalf of WesBanco, and remanded the case for further proceedings. The Appellate Court reversed the District Court’s ruling that res judicata and collateral estoppel are applicable under the circumstances which precluded the re-litigation of matters previously decided by the District Court in the earlier 1995 case involving the same pension plan. The remand will address certain issues identified by the Appellate Court for further determination. WesBanco continues to believe that it has meritorious defenses to the claims asserted by the plaintiffs in this proceeding.
On August 1, 2002, WesBanco was named in a lawsuit filed by a former loan customer of WesBanco's banking subsidiary over a failed purchase of an ambulance service enterprise operated by a local hospital. WesBanco's banking subsidiary was subsequently substituted as the named defendant in the case now styled Matesic v. WesBanco Bank, Inc, et al., Civil Action No. 02-C-293(M), pending in the Circuit Court of Ohio County, West Virginia. The suit alleges numerous counts and claims against multiple defendants over the purchase and subsequent failure of the ambulance service. WesBanco's banking subsidiary made a loan to the plaintiff's company which became delinquent and the Bank recovered a portion of the loan through liquidation of pledged collateral. Allegations of fraudulent conduct and tortuous interference are alleged against WesBanco's banking subsidiary. The case is currently in its discovery phase. A second suit involving essentially the same issues was filed by another party involved in the ambulance service and this case is styled Ellis v. OVMC, et al., Civil Action NO. 03-C-578(G). This case has recently been consolidated with the Matesic case. The Bank does not believe that there is any merit to the allegations of the complaints in the consolidated cases and is vigorously defending the consolidated case.
On April 23, 2004, the Bank was served with a Complaint in a suit styled AUM Hospitality, et al. v. NTK Hotel Group, under Civil Action No. 04 CV H04 03681, presently pending in the Common Pleas Court of Franklin County, Ohio. This is a suit by current or former shareholders of a closely held corporation for fraudulent exercise of control over the corporation against a minority shareholder, David Patel, seeking damages against David Patel and others and seeking to set aside a $13,000,000 first mortgage on a Hampton Inn located in Downtown Columbus with another lender, as well as the Bank’s $1.3 Million second mortgage. The suit alleges that David Patel engaged in illegal conduct in exercising dominion and control over a corporation and that the mortgage instruments are invalid. The mortgage instruments secured funds for the construction of the Hampton Inn upon property owned by AUM Hospitality. The Bank has title insurance insuring its mortgage interest and the title insurance company has assumed the defense of the claim. The Bank believes that it has substantial defenses to the claim and that it also has recourse to the title insurance company with respect to coverage provided under the title insurance policy.
The Bank has also been involved in a case styled Copier Word Processing Supply, Inc. v. WesBanco, Inc., et al. under Civil Action No. 03-C-472, filed in the Circuit Court of Wood County, West Virginia on October 8, 2003. The suit alleges that a former office manager of the plaintiff converted checks payable to the plaintiff by forging the endorsement of its President, endorsing the instruments in her own right, and depositing such checks into her personal account at the Bank. The Complaint alleges such misconduct over an undetermined period and for an undetermined amount. The suit alleges negligence and conversion claims against the Bank over the deposit of the checks. Through continuing discovery, the Bank has identified a number of checks which were deposited to the personal accounts of the former office manager over a period of approximately 10 years. The Circuit Court has applied a three year statute of limitations to the action and the plaintiff is seeking to extend the applicable statute and the question will be certified to the West Virginia Supreme Court for resolution.
The Bank believes that the accounting controls and practices of the plaintiff were primarily at fault and substantially contributed to the loss. The plaintiff’s employee had previously been convicted of criminal fraud and the Bank believes that the failure of the plaintiff to supervise its employee, especially given her prior record, substantially contributed to the loss. Under a comparative fault analysis, the Bank believes that the plaintiff must bear a substantial portion of the loss. Under West Virginia’s comparative fault procedures, if the plaintiff is found to be more than 50% at fault, then the plaintiff may not be permitted a recovery at all in the case.
WesBanco is also involved in other lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. There are no such other matters pending that WesBanco expects to be material in relation to its business, financial condition or results of operations.

WHEREAS, the Company and the Executive are parties to the Salary Continuation Agreement that provides, among other things, that, before the happening of a Change in Control, if the Executive ceases to be an employee by reason of Early Termination or Retirement prior to the Executive’s Normal Retirement Date, the Executive would receive a monthly benefit commencing at age 65 and payable for 10 years in the amount determined with reference to the number of years that have passed after April 14, 2000 and the column on Schedule A labeled "Early Termination/Retirement Benefit payable at Age 65" or, if such Early Termination or Retirement prior to Normal Retirement Age should occur after a Change in Control, the Executive would receive a monthly benefit commencing at his age 65 in the amount determined with reference to the column on Schedule A labeled "Change in Control Annual Benefit Payable at Age 65";

WHEREAS, the parties recognize that to the extent the amount payable in connection with a Change in Control is greater than the amount payable without regard to a Change in Control, that amount must be taken into account for purposes of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended; and

WHEREAS, the parties intend by this Amendment to eliminate the increase in the amount payable upon an Early Termination or retirement prior to Normal Retirement Age.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties agree as follows:

1. Defined Terms . Initially capitalized words used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Salary Continuation Agreement.

2. Section 2.4 Deleted in its Entirety . The parties agree that Section 2.4 is deleted from the Salary Continuation Agreement in its entirety.

3. Change to Schedule A. The column headed "Change of Control Annual Benefit Payable at Age 65" is deleted in its entirety from Schedule A.

4. References to Change in Control . All references to Change in Control, including the definition at Section 1.1 of the Salary Continuation Agreement are inoperative from and after the effective date of this Amendment.

5. Company Acknowledgement . The Company acknowledges that the effect of this amendment under the Executive’s existing Employment Agreement could be to increase the amount of cash payment payable to the Executive following a change in Control as defined in his Employment Agreement.

6. Effectiveness of Salary Continuation Agreement . Except as changed in this Amendment, the Salary Continuation Agreement remains in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.

IN ORDER TO cause this Amendment to the Salary Continuation Agreement to be effective, the parties have caused its execution as of the dates indicated.

WHEREAS, the Board of the Company and the Board of the Bank each believes that, should the possibility of a Change in Control Event of the Company and/or the Bank arise, it is imperative that the Company and the Bank be able to rely upon the Executive to continue in his position, and that the Company and the Bank be able to receive and rely upon his advice, if they request it, as to the best interests of the Company, the Bank, and their shareholders without concern that he might be distracted by the personal uncertainties and risks created by the possibility of a Change in Control Event;
 
WHEREAS, should the possibility of a Change in Control Event arise, in addition to the Executive’s regular duties, he may be called upon to assist in the assessment of such possible Change in Control Event, advise management and the Board of the Company and the Board of the Bank as to whether such Change in Control Event would be in the best interests of the Bank, the Company, and their shareholders, and to take such other actions as the Boards determine to be appropriate; and
 
WHEREAS, the Executive, the Company and the Bank are parties to a Change in Control Agreement dated as of September 1, 1999 intended to address the foregoing concerns and, in light of the adoption of Section 409A of the Code (as defined below) and the publication of guidance thereunder, the parties wish to amend and restate the Change in Control Agreement in its entirety to cause the terms and conditions to comply with Section 409A of the Code; and
 
WHEREAS, the Executive, the Company, and the Bank desire that the terms of this Agreement shall act as a supplement to the benefits under the Executive’s Employment Agreement; and

2.2.    Services During Certain Events . In the event a Person begins a tender or exchange offer, solicits proxies from shareholders of the Company and/or the Bank, or takes other steps seeking to effect a Change in Control Event, the Executive agrees that he will not voluntarily leave the employ of the Company or the Bank and will render services until such Person has abandoned or terminated his or its efforts to effect a Change in Control Event, or, if later, until twenty-four (24) months after a Change in Control Event has occurred; provided, however, that the Company and the Bank may terminate the Executive for Cause at any time, and the Executive may terminate his employment any time after the Change in Control Event for Good Reason.

The Company and/or the Bank shall pay the full cost of such continued benefits, except that the Executive shall bear any portion of such cost as is required to be borne by key executives of the Company and/or the Bank generally at the time of such Change in Control Event.
 
The medical benefits described in this Subsection 2.4(d) shall continue for eighteen (18) months following the Effective Date of Termination; provided, however, that such benefits shall be discontinued prior to the end of the eighteen (18) month period to the extent, but only to the extent, that the Executive receives substantially similar benefits from a subsequent employer, as determined by the Company or the Bank.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any portion of the Severance Benefits or any other payment under this Agreement, or under any other agreement with or plan of the Company or the Bank (in the aggregate "Total Payments") would constitute an åexcess parachute payment,æ then the payments to be made to the Executive under this Agreement shall be reduced or extended over an installment period such that the value of the aggregate Total Payments that the Executive is entitled to receive shall be One Dollar ($1.00) less than the maximum amount which the Executive may receive without becoming subject to the tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, or which the Company and the Bank may pay without loss of deduction under Section 280G(a) of the Code. For purposes of this Agreement, the terms åexcess parachute paymentæ and åparachute paymentsæ shall have the meanings assigned to them in Section 280G of the Code, and such åparachute paymentsæ shall be valued as provided therein.
 
(b)  
Procedure for Establishing Limitation on Termination Payment. Within twenty (20) days following delivery of the Notice of Termination (as described in Section 2.8 herein) or notice by the Company or the Bank to the Executive of its belief that there is a payment or benefit due the Executive which will result in an "excess parachute payment" as defined in Section 280G of the Code, the Executive, the Company, and the Bank, at the Company’s and the Bank’s expense, shall obtain the opinion of the Company’s principal outside accounting firm (the "Accounting Firm"), which sets forth: (i) the amount of the Executive’s "annualized includible compensation for the base period" (as defined in Code Section 280G(d)(1)); (ii) the present value of the Total Payments; and (iii) the amount and present value of any "excess parachute payment." Such opinion shall be binding upon the Company, the Bank, and the Executive.
 
In the event that such opinion determines that there would be an "excess parachute payment," the Severance Benefits hereunder or any other payment determined by such accounting firm to be includible in Total Payments shall be reduced or eliminated as specified by the Executive in writing delivered to the Company and the Bank within ten (10) days of his receipt of such opinion, or, if the Executive fails to so notify the Company and the Bank, then as the Company or the Bank, as applicable, shall reasonably determine, so that under the basis of calculations set forth in such opinion, there will be no "excess parachute payment."
 
 
- 9 -
 
 
The provisions of this Section 4.1(b), including the calculations, notices, and opinion provided for herein, shall be based upon the conclusive presumption that any compensation earned prior to the Effective Date of Termination by the Executive pursuant to the Company’s and the Bank’s compensation programs (if such compensation would have been paid in the future in any event, even though the timing of payment thereof is triggered by the Change in Control Event) is reasonable.

All amounts payable by the Company and the Bank hereunder shall be paid without notice or demand. Each and every payment made hereunder by the Company and the Bank shall be final, and neither the Company nor the Bank shall seek to recover all or any part of such payment from the Executive or from whomsoever may be entitled thereto, for any reasons whatsoever.
 
The Executive shall not be obligated to seek other employment in mitigation of the amounts payable or arrangements made under any provision of this Agreement, and the obtaining of any such other employment shall in no event effect any reduction of the Company’s or the Bank’s obligations to make the payments and arrangements required to be made under this Agreement, except to the extent provided in Section 2.4(d) herein.
 
5.2.    Contractual Rights to Benefits . This Agreement establishes and vests in the Executive a contractual right to the benefits to which he is entitled hereunder. However, nothing herein contained shall require or be deemed to require, or prohibit or be deemed to prohibit, the Company or the Bank to segregate, earmark, or otherwise set aside any funds or other assets, in trust or otherwise, to provide for any payments to be made or required hereunder.
 
Article 6.
     
Term of Agreement
 
6.1   Subject to Section 2.9 herein, this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall continue in effect for three (3) full years, the last day of which shall be the "Expiration Date." However, at the end of such three-year period and, if extended, at the end of each additional year thereafter, the term of this Agreement shall be extended automatically for one (1) additional year, unless the Company or the Bank delivers written notice three (3) months prior to the end of such term, or extended term, to the Executive, that the Agreement will not be extended. In such case, the Agreement will terminate at the end of the term, or extended term, then in progress.

The Employer may, but shall not be required to, make an allocation to the Account of one or more Eligible Employees (which term excludes non-employee Directors) for any Plan Year in which a Participant is eligible to participate in this Plan in an amount determined and calculated by the Board, in its sole an absolute discretion. The Board may choose to make contributions with respect to one Eligible Employee and not others and it shall not be discrimination within the meaning of the Plan for the Board to exercise discretion as to whether to make contributions with respect to one or more Eligible Employee but not others or to vary the amount of the Employer contribution among Eligible Employee who receive Employer contributions.

Article VI

6.1   Allocation to Participant’s Account

 
a.
The total amount of the deferred Directors’ Fees or Base Compensation shall be credited to the Participant’s Account as of the date such amount would otherwise have been paid to such Participant.
 
- 7 -

 
 
b.
The total amount of any deferred Bonus shall be credited to the Participant's Account as of the date such amount would otherwise have been paid to such Participant.

 
c.
The total amount of the Employer Contribution made pursuant to Article V shall be credited to the Participant’s Account as of the date or dates established by the Board. Such allocation dates shall be established by the Board in their sole discretion.

6.2   Earnings

The Participant will receive a statement at least annually, and at such other dates set by the Human Resources Department, reflecting all adjustments for contribution allocations, distributions and Earnings. The Participant's Account shall be adjusted on the last day of each Plan Year and at such other Valuation Dates established by the Human Resources Department in its sole discretion to reflect all contribution allocations, distributions and Earnings. The Human Resources Department shall develop such accounting procedures as it, in its sole discretion, deems advisable to properly reflect the value attributable to the Participant’s Account.

Unless the Board chooses to set aside assets in a grantor trust with respect to which the Participant may direct the investment of his or her Account balance, Earnings prior to a Change in Control Event shall be determined using any rate established by the Board in its sole discretion and shall remain in effect for such period as the Board establishes in its discretion. For this purpose, the Board may establish a rate of return that is based on an external or internal index, a formula taking into account multiple items, changes in the value of WesBanco, Inc. common stock, or any other criteria it deems suitable. In the event of a Change in Control Event, Earnings shall be based on a rate of interest no less than the prime rate quoted in the Wall Street Journal for the date of the Change in Control Event, or the nearest date to that date, plus 2%. This prime rate plus 2% method shall be used for a period of one year, subject to termination of the Plan as approved in Article XI or waiver by the Participant, and in no event may the Board reduce such rate under any provision of this DCP.

Prior to a Change in Control Event, the Board may, but shall not be required to, set assets aside in a grantor trust with individual accounting and allow Participants to direct the investment of their individual Account balance from such range of investments as the Human Resources Department may permit from time to time but which shall at all times include WesBanco common stock. After a Change in Control Event, all assets shall be credited with Earnings at a rate no less than the prime rate plus 2% method described in the foregoing paragraph.

The Board, in its sole discretion, may take into account when determining Earnings, except as Earnings is mandated to be prime plus 2% following a Change in Control Event, any administrative or trustee expense that would affect the rate of return if the Participant’s Account had actually been invested.

Should the Participant become entitled to a distribution, Earnings will be credited to the Participant’s Account until the Account is completely distributed using the Earnings method in effect and applicable to each Valuation Date. For the purpose of this Earnings allocation, the Board may use an estimated distribution date, which shall be reasonably close in time to when the distribution is actually made in order to minimize lost earnings to the Participant due to being uninvested.
 
- 8 -
All Earnings allocation methods shall be applied uniformly and without regard to employment position. However, in order to preserve principal for any Participant who is nearing retirement, or who is in pay status, such rule shall not prohibit use of different Earnings methods that is sensitive to age and the Participant’s proximity to retirement.


Article VII
Vesting

A Participant’s Account attributable to his or her Salary Deferrals shall always be 100% nonforfeitable.

A Participant’s Account attributable to Employer Contributions shall vest at such times and be subject to such restrictions and conditions as the Board shall determine in its sole discretion.

The vested percentage of the Account shall be determined at the Participant’s termination of employment. Should the Participant’s employment terminate due to Retirement, death or Disability, the Participant’s Account shall be 100% vested. Further, in the event of a Change in Control Event or if the DCP is terminated by the Employer, the Account of each Participant who is then an active Employee will become 100% vested regardless of the Participant’s Years of Service.

Any amount unvested at termination of employment, other than for Retirement, death or Disability, shall be forfeited and shall not be recredited to the Account regardless of any subsequent return to employment unless the Board, in its sole discretion, elects otherwise.


Article VIII
Distribution of Benefits

8.5   Request for Benefits

Any person claiming a benefit under the DCP shall present the request to the Human Resources Department in writing, which shall respond in writing as soon as may be feasible.

8.6   Tax Withholding

With respect to any benefit payments under the DCP, Employer shall make all appropriate income tax withholdings; however, the Participant will be solely liable for any and all income taxes applicable on such benefit payments.

The Participant will be solely liable for his or her share of FICA taxes on benefits accrued under the DCP.


Article IX
Funding

9.1   Unfunded Plan

Benefits under this DCP shall be paid from the general assets of the Employer.

Any assets set aside by the Employer for the purpose of paying benefits under this DCP shall not be deemed to be the property of the Participant and shall be subject to claims of creditors of the Employer. No participant or other person shall have any claim against, right to, or security or other interest in, any fund, account or asset of the Employer from which any payment under the DCP may be made. Any use of the words "contributions", "contribute", "earnings" or "Earnings" or any similar phrase, shall not require actual contributions or funding of this DCP and is only used for convenience when describing the deferral and supplemental retirement benefit activities of this DCP.

10.3   Exercise of Authority

Whenever any discretionary action by the Board is required, the Board may exercise its authority in a manner that discriminates between and among participants.

10.5   Information Required by Human Resources Department

Participants and other persons entitled to benefits under the DCP also shall furnish the Human Resources Department with such evidence, data or information as the Human Resources Department considers necessary or desirable to administer the DCP.

10.6   Claims and Review Procedures

The Executive and the Company agree as follows:
 
 
Article 1
Definitions

Whenever used in this Agreement, the following words and phrases shall have the meanings specified:
 
1.1 "Change of Control Event" shall be deemed to have occurred as of the first day that any one or more of the following conditions shall have been satisfied, followed by Termination of Employment within the time period hereinafter specified:

(a)    Final regulatory approval is obtained for any Person (other than those Persons in control of the Company as of the Effective Date, or other than a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company or a corporation owned directly or indirectly by the stockholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of stock of the Company), becomes the Beneficial Owner, directly or indirectly, or securities of the Company representing thirty five percent (35%) or more of the combined voting power of the Company's then outstanding securities; or

 
 

(b)    During any period of two (2) consecutive years (not including any period prior to the execution of this Agreement), individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the Board of the Company (and any new Director, whose election by the Company's stockholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the Directors then still in office who either were Directors at the beginning of the period or whose election or nomination for election was so approved), cease for any reason to constitute a majority thereof; or


(c)    Final regulatory approval is obtained with respect to: (A) a plan of complete liquidation of the Company; or (B) an agreement for the sale or disposition of all or substantially all the Company's assets; or (C) a merger, consolidation, or reorganization of the Company with or involving any other corporation, other than a merger, consolidation, or reorganization that would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity), at least fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the Company (or such surviving entity) outstanding immediately after such merger, consolidation, or reorganization.

However, in no event shall a Change in Control Event be deemed to have occurred, with respect to the Executive, if the Executive is part of a purchasing group which consummates the Change in Control Event transaction. The Executive shall be deemed "part of a purchasing group" for purposes of the preceding sentence if the Executive is an equity participant in the purchasing company or group (except for: (i) passive ownership of less than three percent (3%) of the stock of the purchasing company; or (ii) ownership of equity participation in the purchasing company or group which is otherwise not significant, as determined prior to the Change in Control Event by a majority of the non-employee continuing Directors of the Company, as applicable).

The occurrence of a Change in Control Event as defined above shall also then be followed within three (3) years by the Executive's Termination of Employment for reasons other than death, Disability or retirement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no event or combination of events shall constitute a Change in Control Event if and to the extent that event or combination of events would not constitute a Change in Control Event under Section 409A of the Code or the guidance published thereunder as then in effect.

As a condition to receiving any Disability benefits, the Company may require the Executive to submit to such physical or mental evaluations and tests as the Company's Board of Directors deems appropriate. Nothwithstanding the foregoing, in any case in which Section 409A may apply, a Disability will not be deemed to occur

unless the Executive is unable to engage in substantial gainful activity for a period of 12 months due to a medically determinable physical or mental impairment or, due to such impairment, is receiving disability benefits for a period of three months under a plan provided by the company to its employees.

1.5 "Early Termination Date" means the month, day and year in which Early Termination occurs.

1.7 "Normal Retirement Age" means the Executive's 65th birthday.

1.8 "Normal Retirement Date" means the later of the Normal Retirement Age or Termination of Employment.

1.9 "Plan Year" means a twelve-month period commencing on [anniversary of initial agreement ] and ending on [day before the anniversary] of each year. The initial Plan Year shall commence on the effective date of this Agreement.

1.10 "Salary" means the annual remuneration the Executive receives as base salary, but before deductions authorized by the Executive or required by law to be withheld from the Executive by the Company such as income taxes or Social Security taxes.

1.11 "Termination for Cause" See Section 5.2.

1.12 "Termination of Employment" means that the Executive ceases to be employed by the Company for any reason whatsoever other than by reason of a leave of absence, which is approved by the Company.
