The following factors, among others, could cause the Company’s financial performance to differ materially from the plans, objectives, expectations, estimates and intentions expressed in such forward-looking statements: the strength of the United States economy in general and the strength of the local economies in which the Company conducts operations; the effects of, and changes in, trade, monetary and fiscal policies and laws, including interest rate policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, inflation, changes in real estate values in the Company’s primary lending areas, market and monetary fluctuations; the impact of changes in financial services’ laws and regulations (including laws concerning taxes, banking, securities and insurance); technological changes; acquisitions; changes in consumer spending and savings habits; and the success of the Company at managing the risks involved in the foregoing.
The Company cautions that the foregoing list of important factors is not exclusive. The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time by or on behalf of the Company.
General
First West Virginia Bancorp, Inc. (the “ Company”), was organized as a West Virginia business corporation on July 1, 1973 at the request of the Boards of Directors of the Bank of Warwood, N.A. and Community Savings Bank, N.A. for the purpose of becoming a bank holding company, under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. On December 30, 1974 the shareholders of those banks voted to become constituent banks of the Company, which reorganization was subsequently accomplished in accordance with regulatory procedure, and the Company thus became the first bank holding company in the state of West Virginia. Those banks later merged on June 30, 1984 under the name “First West Virginia Bank, N.A.” In November, 1995, the subsidiary banks of the Holding Company adopted the common name of “Progressive Bank, N.A.”
At December 31, 2010, First West Virginia Bancorp, Inc. had one wholly-owned banking subsidiary, Progressive Bank, N.A. in Wheeling, West Virginia.
Progressive Bank, N. A. is a community bank serving all of Ohio, Brooke, Marshall, Upshur, Lewis and Wetzel counties in the state of West Virginia, and a portion of the west bank of the Ohio River, located in the State of Ohio.

General Description of Business
First West Virginia Bancorp, Inc. is dependent upon its subsidiary for cash necessary to pay expenses, and dividends to its stockholders. The Company functions primarily as the holder of the capital stock of its wholly-owned subsidiary bank.
Progressive Bank, National Association, the sole subsidiary bank of the Company, is engaged in the business of banking and provides a broad range of consumer and commercial banking products and services to individuals, businesses, professionals and governments. The services and products have been designed in such a manner as to appeal to area consumers and businesses. The loan portfolio consists primarily of loans secured by real estate to consumers and businesses. The bank also engages in commercial loans and general consumer loans to individuals. The subsidiary bank offers a wide range of both personal and commercial types of deposit accounts and services as a means of gathering funds. Types of deposit accounts and services available include non-interest bearing demand checking, interest bearing checking (NOW accounts), savings, money market, certificates of deposit, individual retirement accounts, and Christmas Club accounts. The customer base for deposits is primarily retail in nature. The majority of the bank’s lending is concentrated in the upper Ohio Valley of northern West Virginia and adjacent areas of Ohio and Pennsylvania.
First West Virginia Bancorp, Inc.’s business is not seasonal. As of December 31, 2010, the subsidiary bank was not engaged in any operation in foreign countries and transactions with customers in foreign countries is not material.
Employees
As of December 31, 2010, the Company had 5 part-time employees. As of December 31, 2010, the subsidiary bank of the Holding Company had a total of 96 full-time employees and 7 part-time employees. The Bank provides a number of benefits for its full-time employees, including health and life insurance, 401-K plan, workers’ compensation and paid vacations. No employees are union participants or subject to a collective bargaining agreement.
Competition
Competition involving the Company is generally felt at the subsidiary level. All phases of the banks’ business are highly competitive. The subsidiary bank encounters competition from commercial banks and other financial institutions. The subsidiary bank also competes with other insurance companies, small loan companies, credit unions with respect to lending activities and also in attracting a variety of deposit related instruments.
Supervision and Regulation
The Company and its subsidiary bank are subject to certain statutes and regulations. The following is a summary of certain statutes and regulations that affect the Company and its subsidiary. This summary is qualified in its entirety by such statutes and regulations.
The Company
The Company is a registered bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, (“BHC Act”) and as such is subject to regulation by the Federal Reserve Board (“FRB”). The BHC Act requires every bank holding company to obtain the prior approval of the FRB before acquiring substantially all the assets of any bank or bank holding company or ownership or control of any voting shares of any bank or bank holding company, if, after such acquisition, it would own or control, directly or indirectly, more than five percent (5%) of the voting shares of such bank or bank holding company.
In approving acquisitions by bank holding companies of companies engaged in banking-related activities, the FRB considers whether the performance of any such activity by a subsidiary of the holding company reasonably can be expected to produce benefits to the public, such as greater convenience, increased competition, or gains in efficiency, which outweigh possible adverse effects, such as over concentration of resources, decrease of competition, conflicts of interest, or unsound banking practices.
As a bank holding company, the Company is required to file with the FRB reports and any other information regarding its business operations that is required pursuant to the BHC Act. The FRB also makes examinations of the Company.

Table of Contents
The Company is also deemed an “affiliate” of its subsidiary bank under the Federal Reserve Act which imposes certain restrictions on loans between the Company and its subsidiary bank, investments by the subsidiary in the stock of the Company, or the taking of stock of the Company by the subsidiary as collateral for loans to any borrower, or purchases by the subsidiary of certain assets from the Company, and the payment of dividends by the subsidiary to the Company.
FRB approval is required before the Company may begin to engage in any permitted non-banking activity. The FRB is empowered to differentiate between activities which are initiated by the Company or its subsidiary and activities commenced by acquisition of a going concern.
Being a West Virginia corporation, the Company is also subject to the corporate laws of the State of West Virginia as set forth in the West Virginia Corporation Act and to register with the Office of the Commissioner of Banking of West Virginia and file reports as requested. The Commissioner has the power to examine the Company and its subsidiary.
The Bank
The operations of the Company’s subsidiary bank, being a national bank, is subject to the regulations of a number of regulatory agencies including the regulations of a number of regulatory authorities including the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the “OCC”), the FRB and the West Virginia Department of Banking. Representatives of the OCC regulate and conduct examinations of the subsidiary bank. The subsidiary bank is required to furnish regular reports to the OCC and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Comptroller of the Currency has the authority to prevent national banks from engaging in an unsafe or unsound bank practice and may remove officers or directors. It may be noted that the subsidiary bank of a bank holding company is subject to certain restrictions imposed by the banking laws on extensions of credit to the Company or its subsidiary.
Capital Requirements
The FRB and the OCC require banks and holding companies to maintain minimum capital ratios.
The FRB has promulgated “risk-adjusted” capital guidelines for bank holding companies. The OCC and FDIC have adopted substantially similar risk-based capital guidelines with respect to the Bank. These ratios involve a mathematical process of assigning various risk weights to different classes of assets, then evaluating the sum of the risk-weighted balance sheet structure against the Company’s capital base. The rules set the minimum guidelines for the ratio of capital to risk-weighted assets (including certain off-balance sheet activities, such as standby letters of credit) at 8%. At least half of the total capital is to be composed of common equity, retained earnings, and a limited amount of perpetual preferred stock less certain goodwill items (“Tier 1 Capital”). The remainder may consist of a limited amount of subordinated debt, other preferred stock, or a limited amount of loan loss reserves.
In addition, the federal banking regulatory agencies have adopted leverage capital guidelines for banks and bank holding companies. Under these guidelines, banks and bank holding companies must maintain a minimum ratio of three percent (3%) Tier 1 Capital to total assets. The Federal Reserve Board has indicated, however, that banking organizations that are experiencing or anticipating significant growth, are expected to maintain capital ratios well in excess of the minimum levels.
Regulatory authorities may increase such minimum regulatory capital requirements for all banks and bank holding companies, as well as specific individual banks or bank holding companies. Mandated increases in the minimum required capital ratios could adversely affect the Company and the Bank, including their ability to pay dividends.
As of December 31, 2010, the most recent notifications from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency categorized the bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes has changed the capital category.
Additional Regulation
The Bank is also subject to federal regulation as to such matters as required reserves, limitation as to the nature and amount of its loans and investments, regulatory approval of any merger or consolidation, issuance or retirement of their own securities, limitations upon the payment of dividends and other aspects of banking operations. In addition, the activities and operations of the Bank are subject to a number of additional detailed, complex and sometimes overlapping federal and state laws and regulations. These include state usury and consumer credit laws , the Federal Truth-in-Lending Act and Regulation Z, the

Federal Equal Credit Opportunity Act and Regulation B, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Truth in Savings Act, the Community Reinvestment Act, anti-redlining legislation and antitrust laws.
Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999
Under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (better known as the Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999), bank holding companies are entitled to become financial holding companies and thereby affiliate with securities firms and insurance companies and engage in other activities that are financial in nature. A bank holding company may become a financial holding company if each of its subsidiary banks is well capitalized under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Act of 1991 prompt corrective action provisions, is well managed, and has at least a satisfactory rating under the Community Reinvestment Act by filing a declaration that the bank holding company wishes to become a financial holding company. No regulatory approval will be required for a financial holding company to acquire a company, other than a bank or savings association, engaged in activities that are financial in nature or incidental to activities that are financial in nature, as determined by the Federal Reserve Board.
The Financial Services Modernization Act defines “financial in nature” to include”
| 1. | securities underwriting, dealing and market making; |
| 2. | sponsoring mutual funds and investment companies; |
| 3. | insurance underwriting and agency; |
| 4. | merchant bank activities and activities that the Federal Reserve Board has determined to be closely relating to banking. |
In addition, a financial holding company may not acquire a company that is engaged in activities that are financial in nature unless each of the subsidiary banks of the financial holding company has a Community Reinvestment Act rating of satisfactory or better. The Company has not registered to become a financial holding company.
The United States Congress has periodically considered and adopted legislation, such as the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, which has resulted in further deregulation of both banks and other financial institutions, including mutual funds, securities brokerage firms and investment banking firms. No assurance can be given as to whether any additional legislation will be adopted or as to the effect such legislation would have on the business of the Bank or the Company.
FDICIA
The Federal Deposit Insurance Company Improvement Act of 1991 (“FDICIA”), and the regulations promulgated under FDICIA, among other things, established five capital categories for insured depository institutions-well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized-and requires U.S. federal bank regulatory agencies to implement systems for “prompt corrective action” for insured depository institutions that do no meet minimum capital requirements based on these categories. Unless a bank is well capitalized, it is subject to restrictions on its ability to offer brokered deposits and on certain other aspects of its operations. An undercapitalized bank must develop a capital restoration plan and its parent bank holding company must guarantee the bank’s compliance with the plan up to the lesser of 5% of the banks or thrift’s assets at the time it became undercapitalized and the amount needed to comply with the plan. As of December 31, 2010, the Company’s banking subsidiary was well capitalized pursuant to these prompt corrective action guidelines.
Deposit Insurance and Assessments
The deposits of the Company’s banking subsidiary are insured up to regulatory limits by the FDIC, and, accordingly, are subject to deposit insurance assessments based on the Federal Deposit Insurance Reform Act of 2005, as adopted and took effect on April 21, 2006.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Company Improvement Act of 1991 (“FDICIA”) requires federal bank regulatory authorities to take “prompt corrective action” with respect to banks that do not meet minimum capital requirements. For these purposes, FDICIA establishes five capital tiers: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized.

Table of Contents
As an FDIC-insured institution, the Bank is required to pay deposit insurance premium assessments to the FDIC. The amount each institution pays for FDIC deposit insurance coverage is determined in accordance with a risk-based assessment system under which all insured depository institutions are placed into one of nine categories and assessed insurance premiums based upon their level of capital and supervisory evaluation. Institutions classified as well capitalized (as defined by the FDIC) and considered healthy pay the lowest premium while institutions that are less than adequately capitalized (as defined by the FDIC) and considered substantial supervisory concerns pay the highest premium. Because the Bank is presently “well capitalized” it pays the minimum deposit insurance premiums.
The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act 2008 increased the deposit insurance coverage from $100,000 to $250,000 per depositor. The basic deposit insurance limit of $100,000 was set to return on January 1, 2010, however, at this time, the date has been extended to December 13, 2013.
The FDIC may terminate the deposit insurance of any insured depository institution if the FDIC determines, after a hearing, that the institution has engaged or is engaging in unsafe or unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations or has violated any applicable law, regulation, order, or any condition imposed in writing by, or written agreement with, the FDIC. The FDIC may also suspend deposit insurance temporarily during the hearing process for a permanent termination of insurance if the institution has no tangible capital. Management of the Company is not aware of any activity or condition that could result in termination of the deposit insurance of the Bank.
Depositor Preference Statute
In the “liquidation or other resolution” of an institution by any receiver, U.S. federal legislation provides that deposits and certain claims for administrative expenses and employee compensation against the insured depository institution would be afforded a priority over general unsecured claims against that institution, including federal funds and letters of credit.
Recent Legislation
The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (“Dodd-Frank Act”) signed by the President on July 21, 2010 posed a significant impact on financial regulations. Certain provisions such as the permanent increase in deposit insurance coverage had an immediate effective date. Provisions regarding rules for interchanges fees on electronic debit transactions must be effective by July 21, 2011. Other provisions which, though intended to provide regulatory relief to community banks, may require time and further analysis to evaluate the actual consequences. Implementation of the Dodd-Frank Act provisions, which are conservatively estimated at more than 5,000 pages of new or expanded regulations for banks, will result in new rulemaking by the federal regulatory agencies over the next several years. Fully implementing the new and expanded regulation will involve ensuring compliance with extensive new disclosure and reporting requirements. The Dodd-Frank Act created an independent regulatory body, the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (“Bureau”), with authority and responsibility to set rules and regulations for most consumer protection laws applicable to all banks, large and small. The Bureau adds another regulator to scrutinize and police financial activities. Transfer to the Bureau of all consumer financial protection functions for designated laws by the other federal agencies must be completed no later than July 21, 2011. The Bureau has responsibility for mortgage reform and enforcement, as well as broad new powers over consumer financial activities which could impact what consumer financial services would be available and how they are provided. The following consumer protection laws are the designated laws that will fall under the Bureau’s rulemaking authority: the Alternative Mortgage Transactions Parity Act of 1928, the Consumer Leasing Act of 1976, the Electronic Fund Transfer Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair Credit Billing Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act subject to certain exclusions, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, the Home Owners Protection Act, certain privacy provisions of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA), the Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act of 1994, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA), the S.A.F.E. Mortgage Licensing Act of 2008 (SAFE Act), and the Truth in Lending Act. Review and revision of current financial regulations in conjunction with added new financial service regulations will heighten the regulatory compliance burden and increase litigation risk for the banking industry.
Also, in response to recent unprecedented financial market turmoil, the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (“EESA”) was enacted in 2008. EESA authorized the U.S. Treasury Department to provide up to $700 billion in funding for the financial services industry. Pursuant to the EESA, the Treasury was initially authorized to use $350 billion for the Troubled Asset Relief Program (“TARP”). Of this amount, Treasury allocated $250 billion to the TARP Capital Purchase Program. On January 15, 2009, the second $350 billion of TARP monies was released to the Treasury. The Secretary’s authority under TARP expired on December 31, 2009. The Company previously determined to not Participate
8
Table of Contents
in the TARP Capital Purchase Program.
In addition to the Dodd-Frank Act and EESA, there is significant potential for new federal regulations relating to lending, funding practices, and liquidity and capital standards, and the bank regulatory agencies are expected to be very aggressive in responding to concerns and trends identified in examinations. These increased governmental actions may increase our costs and limit our ability to pursue certain business opportunities.
Monetary Policies
The earnings of the Company are dependent upon the earnings of its wholly-owned subsidiary bank. The earnings of the subsidiary bank is affected by the policies of regulatory authorities, including the Comptroller of the Currency, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The policies and regulations of the regulatory agencies have had and will continue to have a significant effect on deposits, loans and investment growth, as well as the rate of interest earned and paid, and therefore will affect the earnings of the subsidiary bank and the Company in the future, although the degree of such impact cannot accurately be predicted.
Consumer Laws and Regulations
In addition to the banking laws and regulations discussed above, bank subsidiaries are also subject to certain consumer laws and regulations that are designed to protect consumers in transactions with banks. Among the more prominenet of such laws and regulations are the Truth in Lending Act, the Truth in Savings Act, the electronic funds Transfer Act, the Expedited Funds Availability Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair credit Reporting act, and the Fair Housing Act. These laws and regulations mandate certain disclosure requirements and regulate the manner in which financial institutions must deal with customers when taking deposits or making loans to such customers. Bank subsidiaries must comply with the applicable provisions of these consumer protection laws and regulations as part of their ongoing customer relations.
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002
On July 30, 2002, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“SOA”) was enacted, which addresses, among other issues, corporate governance, auditing and accounting, executive compensation, and enhanced and timely disclosure of corporate information. Effective August 29, 2002, as directed by Section 302(a) of SOA, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are each required to certify that the Company’s Quarterly and Annual reports do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact. The rules have several requirements, including requiring these officers certify that: they are responsible for establishing, maintaining and regularly evaluating the effectiveness of our internal controls; they have made certain disclosures to our auditors and the audit committee of the Board of Directors about internal controls; and they have included information in the Company’s Quarterly and Annual reports about their evaluation and whether there have been significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the evaluation.
Securities Laws and Compliance
As of February 13, 1995, the Company’s common stock was registered with the Securities and Exchange commission (“SEC”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“1934 Act”). This registration requires ongoing compliance with the 1934 Act and its periodic filing requirements as well as a wide range of Federal and State securities laws. These requirements include, but are not limited to, the filing of annual, quarterly and other reports with the SEC, certain requirements as to the solicitation of proxies from shareholders as well as other proxy rules, and compliance with the reporting requirements and “short-swing” profit rules imposed by Section 16 of the 1934 Act.

Progressive Bank, N.A. presently owns the land and building at 1701 Warwood Avenue, Wheeling, West Virginia where the bank’s Warwood offices are located. The two-story building has approximately 15,500 square feet in total area. The office has three drive-in facilities adjacent to the rear of the building and customer parking to the north side of the building.

The Company’s management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements and the related financial information included in this annual report. The financial statements and the information related to those statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and reflect management’s judgments and estimates concerning effects of events and transactions that are accounted for or disclosed.
The Company’s management is also responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that pertain to the Company’s ability to record, process, summarize and report reliable financial data. Management recognizes that there are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of internal control. Accordingly, even effective internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation. Further, because of changes in conditions, the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting may vary over time.
In order to ensure that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective, management is required to evaluate, with the participation of the Company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of the end of each fiscal year and did so most recently for its financial reporting as of December 31, 2010. Management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was based on criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting described in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, management has concluded that the internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2010. This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
The Board of Directors, acting through its Audit Committee, is responsible for the oversight of the Company’s accounting policies, financial reporting and internal control. The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors is comprised entirely of outside directors who are independent of management. The Audit Committee is responsible for the appointment and compensation of the independent auditor and approves decisions regarding the appointment or removal of the Company’s Internal Auditor. It meets periodically with management, the independent auditors and the internal auditors to ensure that they are carrying out their responsibilities. The Audit Committee is also responsible for performing an oversight role by reviewing and monitoring the financial, accounting and auditing procedures of the Company in addition to reviewing the Company’s financial reports. The independent auditors and the internal auditor have full and unlimited access to the Audit Committee, with or without management, to discuss the adequacy of internal control over financial reporting, and any other matter which they believe should be brought to the attention of the Audit Committee.

| 1. | Any executive officer, director, or principal shareholder requesting a loan is to submit a written application containing the purpose of the credit, and/or a financial statement depending upon the nature of the credit to the bank. |
| 2. | Loans to an Executive Officer are permitted in an aggregate amount that equals the higher of $25,000 or 2.5% of the bank’s capital.

| 6. | In compliance with Regulation O, the total of all loans to Executive Officers, Directors, Principal Shareholders and their related interest of the bank, holding companies and subsidiaries of the holding company, cannot exceed the amount of the bank’s unimpaired capital and unimpaired surplus. This limit will be established by adding the total equity capital shown on the bank’s most recently filed consolidated report of condition and authorized subordinated notes and debentures, and the valuation reserve. |
The Company also requires all directors to report related interests and to abstain prior to approval of any extensions of credit which are subject to board approval. Board approval is required for loans secured by real estate in excess of $300,000, non-real estate secured loans in excess of $150,000 and unsecured loans in excess of $25,000 to any related borrower. This is evidenced by the director signing a form prior to the approval of such loans. This reporting requirement was at the direction of the Corporate Governance, Human Resource and Compensation Committee.
Fees for services to the Company that are provided by any Director are subject to approval by the Board of Directors of the Company or its subsidiary.
