These tables depict the long-term credit-quality ratings assigned to the Fund’s portfolio holdings by Standard & Poor’s (S&P) and Moody’s Investors Service (Moody’s), each of which is a Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization (NRSRO). These credit-quality ratings are shown without regard to gradations within a given rating category. For example, securities rated “A-” have been included in the “A” rated category. Rated securities that have been prerefunded, but not rated again by the NRSRO, have been included in the “Not rated by…” category.

Rated securities include a security with an obligor and/or credit enhancer that has received a rating from an NRSRO with respect to a class of debt obligations that is comparable in priority and security with the security held by the Fund. Credit-quality ratings are an assessment of the risk that a security will default in payment and do not address other risks presented by the security. Please see the descriptions of credit-quality ratings in the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information. Holdings that are rated only by a different NRSRO than the one identified have been included in the “Not rated by…” category.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements were prepared in accordance with GAAP in the United States, which require the use of estimates made by management of the Funds. Actual results could differ from those estimated.

Investment Valuation – In calculating their net asset value (NAV), the Funds generally value investments as follows:

 

››

Equity securities listed on an exchange or traded through a regulated market system are valued at their last reported sale price or official closing price on their principal exchange or market.

››

Fixed-income securities acquired with remaining maturities greater than 60 days are fair valued using price evaluations provided by a pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees (the “Trustees”).

››

Fixed-income securities acquired with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued at their cost (adjusted for the accretion of any discount or amortization of any premium).

››

Shares of other mutual funds are valued based upon their reported NAVs.

If the Funds cannot obtain a price or price evaluation from a pricing service for an investment, the Funds may attempt to value the investment based upon the mean of bid and asked quotations or fair value the investment based on price evaluations, from one or more dealers. If any price, quotation, price evaluation or other pricing source is not readily available when the NAV is calculated, the Funds

use the fair value of the investment determined in accordance with the procedures described below. There can be no assurance that the Funds could purchase or sell an investment at the price used to calculate the Funds’ NAVs.

Fair Valuation and Significant Events Procedures – The Trustees have authorized the use of pricing services to provide evaluations of the current fair value of certain investments for purposes of calculating the NAV. Factors considered by pricing services in evaluating an investment include the yields or prices of investments of comparable quality, coupon, maturity, call rights and other potential prepayments, terms and type, reported transactions, indications as to values from dealers, and general market conditions. The Funds normally use mean evaluations (a price evaluation indicative of a price between the bid and asked prices for an investment) for fixed-income securities. In the event that market quotations and price evaluations are not available for an investment, the fair value of the investment is determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Trustees.

The Trustees also have adopted procedures requiring an investment to be priced at its fair value whenever the Adviser determines that a significant event affecting the value of the investment has occurred between the time as of which the price of the investment would otherwise be determined and the time as of which the NAV is computed. An event is considered significant if there is both an affirmative expectation that the investment’s value will change in response to the event and a reasonable basis for quantifying the resulting change in value. Examples of significant events that may occur after the close of the principal market on which a security is traded, or after the time of a price evaluation provided by a pricing service or a dealer, include:

››

With respect to securities traded in foreign markets, significant trends in U.S. equity markets or in the trading of foreign securities index futures or options contracts;

››

With respect to price evaluations of fixed-income securities determined before the close of regular trading on the NYSE, actions by the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee and other significant trends in U.S. fixed-income markets; and

››

Corporate announcements concerning matters such as acquisitions, recapitalizations, litigation developments, a natural disaster affecting the issuer’s operations or regulatory changes or market developments affecting the issuer’s industry.

The Funds may seek to obtain more current quotations or price evaluations from alternative pricing sources. If a reliable alternative pricing source is not available, the Funds will determine the fair value of the investment using another method approved by the Trustees.

A three-tier hierarchy has been established to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk, for example, the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value including such a pricing model and/or the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability

developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad Levels listed below.

 

Level 1—

Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access at the measurement date.

 

Level 2—

Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.

 

Level 3—

Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Funds’ own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.

 

 

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of June 30, 2012 in valuing the Funds’ investments carried at fair value:

All securities of the Funds were valued using either Level 1 or Level 2 inputs during the six months ended June 30, 2012. Thus a reconciliation of assets in which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used is not applicable for the Funds.

There were no transfers into and out of Level 1, 2, or 3 during the period. It is the Funds’ policy to recognize transfers into and out of all levels at the end of the reporting period.

* For detailed descriptions of sector and/or geography classifications, see the accompanying Portfolio of Investments.

Investment Income, Expenses and Distributions – Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade-date basis. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on an identified cost basis. Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are

recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at fair value. Foreign dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date or when the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date.

Trust level expenses are allocated to each Fund based on net assets, equally across all Funds, or to a specific Fund, whichever is deemed most appropriate for a particular expense. Each Fund pays its own expenses.

Distributions of net investment income, if any, for the Small Company Growth Fund and Growth Fund are declared and paid quarterly. Distributions of net investment income for the Balanced Fund are declared and paid monthly, and distributions of net investment income for the Government Bond Fund and West Virginia Municipal Bond Fund are declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions of capital gains, if any, for Small Company Growth Fund, Growth Fund, and Balanced Fund, are declared and paid annually.

Premium and Discount Amortization/Paydown Gains and Losses – All premiums and discounts on fixed-income securities are amortized/accreted for financial statement purposes. Gains and losses realized on principal payment of mortgage-backed securities (paydown gains and losses) are classified as part of investment income.

Federal Taxes – It is each Fund’s policy to comply with the Subchapter M provision of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of its income. Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax is necessary. As of, and during the six months ended, June 30, 2012, the Funds did not have a liability for any uncertain tax positions. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to tax liabilities as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties. As of June 30, 2012, tax years ended January 31, 2008 through 2009, the period ended December 31, 2009, and the years ended December 31, 2010, and 2011, remain subject to examination by the Funds’ major tax jurisdictions, which include the United States of America and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

The Funds may be subject to taxes imposed by governments of countries in which they invest. Such taxes are generally based on

either income or gains earned or repatriated. The Funds accrue and apply such taxes to net investment income, net realized gains and net unrealized gains as income gains are earned.

Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.

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

Restricted Securities – Restricted securities are securities that either: (a) cannot be offered for public sale without first being registered, or being able to take advantage of an exemption from registration, under the Securities Act of 1933; or (b) are subject to contractual restrictions on public sales. In some cases, when a security cannot be offered for public sale without first being registered, the issuer of the restricted security has agreed to register such securities for resale, at the issuer’s expense, either upon demand by the Funds or in connection with another registered offering of the securities. Many such restricted securities may be resold in the secondary market in transactions exempt from registration. Restricted securities may be determined to be liquid under criteria established by the Trustees. The Funds will not incur any registration costs upon such resales. The Funds’ restricted securities are valued at the price provided by dealers in the secondary market or, if no market prices are available, at the fair value as determined in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Trustees.

4. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION

 

The timing and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are due in part to partnership adjustments and net operating loss. For the year ended December 31, 2011, permanent differences identified and reclassified among the components of net assets were as follows:

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized appreciation/depreciation is attributable to differing treatments for the deferral of losses on wash sales and discount accretion/ premium amortization on debt securities.

The tax character of distributions as reported on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets for the years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was as follows:

At December 31, 2011, the Funds had capital loss carryforwards which will reduce the Funds’ taxable income arising from future net realized gains on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by the Code and thus will reduce the amount of the distributions to shareholders which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Funds of any liability for federal tax. Pursuant to the Code, such capital loss carryforwards will expire as follows:

 

Fund Name            2017                            Total          

Growth Fund

   $ 3,389,428            $ 3,389,428   

Balanced Fund

   $ 496,642            $ 496,642   

 

The Growth Fund and Balanced Fund used capital loss carryforwards of $(13,090,536) and $(2,137,923), respectively, to offset taxable capital gains realized during the year ended December 31, 2011.

Under current tax regulations, capital losses on securities transactions realized after October 31 may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first day of the following fiscal year.

As of December 31, 2011, for federal income tax purposes, the Government Bond Fund, Small Company Growth Fund, Growth Fund and Balanced Fund elected to defer post October losses of $198,786, $229,570, $5,328,928 and $15,026, respectively to December 31, 2012.

The Adviser may voluntarily waive a portion of its fee or reimburse a Fund for certain operating expenses.

For the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Adviser waived the following fees. This waiver may only be terminated by agreement of the Board of Trustees.

 

Fund Name    Adviser Fee Waiver
West Virginia Municipal Bond Fund    $        51,269

Administrative Fee – ALPS Fund Services, Inc. (“ALPS”) provides the Funds with certain administrative personnel and services. The fees paid to ALPS are based on an annual rate of 0.07% the daily average aggregate net assets of the Trust for the period, subject to a $650,000 annual minimum (on the Trust level). Fees are allocated to each Fund based on daily net assets (each Fund’s net assets as a percentage of total Trust net assets).

Distribution (12b-1) Fee – ALPS Distributors, Inc. (“ADI”) serves as the Funds’ distributor.

The Funds’ Trustees previously adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. Under the terms of the Plan the Funds could have compensated the distributor from the net assets of the Funds to finance activities intended to result in sale of each Fund’s shares. The Plan specified that the Funds may have incurred distribution expenses at 0.25% of the daily net assets of each Fund. The Plan expired on August 31, 2007 and the Funds’ Trustees did not approve its renewal.

Shareholder Services Fee – Under the terms of a Shareholder Services Agreements with WesBanco Bank (“WesBanco”) and other financial institutions, the Funds may pay WesBanco, or other financial institutions up to 0.25% of average daily net assets. The fee is used to finance certain services for shareholders and to maintain shareholder accounts. WesBanco and the financial institutions may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. WesBanco and the financial institutions can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at their sole discretion.

Effective August 1, 2009, the voluntary fee waiver for the Small Company Growth Fund, which was set at an annual rate of 0.10% of average daily net assets of the Fund, was discontinued. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, WesBanco did not waive any of these fees.

Recordkeeping Fee – The Funds may pay recordkeeping fees on an average net assets basis or on a per account per year basis to financial intermediaries for providing recordkeeping services to the Funds and shareholders.

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

WesBanco may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. WesBanco can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion.

General – Certain Officers and Trustees of the Funds are Officers and Directors or Trustees of the above companies.

6. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

WesMark Government      

Bond Fund

     11,588,095         24,052,500   

7. CONCENTRATION OF RISK

 

Since the West Virginia Municipal Bond Fund invests a substantial portion of its assets in issuers located in one state, it will be more susceptible to factors adversely affecting issuers of that state than would be a comparable tax-exempt mutual fund that invests nationally. In order to reduce the credit risk associated with such factors, at June 30, 2012, 53% of the securities in the portfolio were backed by letters of credit, bond insurance of various financial institutions, or financial guaranty assurance agencies.

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

economic developments may have an effect on the liquidity and volatility of portfolio securities.

8. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION

 

For the year ended December 31, 2011, 99.34% of the distributions from net investment income for West Virginia Municipal Bond Fund is exempt from federal income tax.

Shareholder Expense Example     
   June 30, 2012 (Unaudited)

 

As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees and to the extent applicable, shareholder services fees and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you to understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. It is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2012 to June 30, 2012.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

 

The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you incurred over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses attributable to your investment during this period.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

 

The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. Thus, you should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate the actual ending account balance or your expenses for the period. Rather, these figures are required to be provided to enable you to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds with other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

     Board Review of Advisory Contract

June 30, 2012 (Unaudited)

  

 

As required by the 1940 Act, the WesMark Funds (“Funds”) Board has reviewed, at its May 2012 meeting, the Funds’ investment advisory contract with WesBanco Investment Department (“Adviser”). The Board’s decision to approve the contract reflects the exercise of its business judgment on whether to continue the existing arrangements. During its review of the contract, the Board considers many factors, among the most material of which are: the Funds’ investment objectives and long term performance; the Adviser’s management philosophy, personnel, and processes; the preferences and expectations of Fund shareholders and their relative sophistication; the continuing state of competition in the mutual fund industry; comparable fees for similar funds in the mutual fund industry; the range and quality of services provided to the Funds and its shareholders by the WesBanco organization in addition to investment advisory services; and a Fund’s relationship to other funds in the WesMark Family of Funds.

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

The Board also considers the compensation and benefits received by the Adviser. This includes fees received for services, such as custody and shareholder servicing, provided to the Funds by other entities in the WesBanco organization and research services received by the Adviser from brokers that execute fund trades, as well as advisory fees. In this regard, the Board is aware that various courts, including the United States Supreme Court, have interpreted provisions of the 1940 Act and have indicated in their decisions that the following factors may be relevant to an Adviser’s fiduciary duty with respect to its receipt of compensation: the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser, including the performance of a Fund; the Adviser’s cost of providing the services; the extent to which the Adviser may realize “economies of scale” as a Fund grows larger; any indirect benefits that may accrue to the Adviser and its affiliates as a result of the Adviser’s relationship with a Fund; performance and expenses of comparable funds; and the extent to which the independent Board members are fully informed about all facts bearing on the Adviser’s services and fees. The Funds’ Board is aware of these factors and is guided by them in its review of the Funds’ advisory contract to the extent they are appropriate and relevant, as discussed further below.

The Board considers and weighs these circumstances, and in this regard, the Board requests and receives a significant amount of

detailed information about the Funds and the WesBanco organization. The Adviser and other service providers of the Funds provide much of this information at each regular meeting of the Board, and furnish additional reports in connection with the particular meeting at which the Board’s formal review of the advisory contract occurs. In between regularly scheduled meetings, the Board may receive information on particular matters as the need arises. Thus, the Board’s evaluation of an advisory contract is informed by reports covering such matters as: the Adviser’s investment philosophy, personnel, and processes; a Fund’s short-and long-term performance (in absolute terms both on a gross basis and net of expenses, as well as in relationship to its particular investment program and certain competitor or “peer group” funds and/or other benchmarks, as appropriate), and comments on the reasons for performance; a Fund’s expenses (including the advisory fee itself and the overall expense structure of a Fund, both in absolute terms and relative to similar and/or competing funds, with due regard for any expense limitations); the use and allocation of brokerage commissions derived from trading a Fund’s portfolio securities; the nature and extent of the advisory and other services provided to a Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates; compliance and audit reports concerning the Funds and the WesBanco companies that service them; and relevant developments in the mutual fund industry and how the Funds and/or the Adviser are responding to them. The evaluation process is evolutionary, reflecting continually developing considerations. The criteria considered and the emphasis placed on relevant criteria change in recognition of changing circumstances in the mutual fund marketplace.

With respect to a Fund’s performance and expenses in particular, the Board has found the use of comparisons to other mutual funds with comparable investment programs to be particularly useful, given the high degree of competition in the mutual fund business. The Board focuses on comparisons with other similar mutual funds (rather than non-mutual fund products or services) because it is believed that they are more relevant. For example, other mutual funds are the products most like the Funds, and they are readily available to Fund shareholders as alternative investment vehicles. The range of their fees and expenses therefore appears to be a generally reliable indication of what consumers have found to be reasonable in the precise marketplace in which the Funds compete. A Fund’s ability to deliver competitive performance when compared to its peer group may be a useful indicator of how the Adviser is executing on the Fund’s investment program, which would in turn assist the Board in reaching a conclusion that the nature, extent, and quality of the Adviser’s investment management services are such as to warrant continuation of the advisory contract. The Funds are the only advisory clients of the Adviser. However, personnel of the Adviser may assist in the provision of asset management services for clients of affiliates of the Adviser. The Board considered these arrangements in connection with its review of the agreements.

For the one year period and three year periods ended March 31, 2012, the performance of the WesMark Small Company Growth Fund, WesMark West Virginia Municipal Bond Fund, WesMark Growth Fund and WesMark Government Bond Fund were below the

median of the relevant peer groups. The WesMark Balanced Fund’s performance for the one year period ended March 31, 2012 was above the median of the relevant peer group but its performance was below the median for the peer group for the three year period ended March 31, 2012. The Board discussed fund management’s commentary for the Government Fund’s underperformance, noted its improved performance in the first quarter of 2012, and was satisfied with the Adviser’s efforts being undertaken with respect to the fund. The Board also discussed the very positive absolute performance of both the WesMark Growth Fund and the WesMark Small Company Fund over the one year period ended March 31, 2012. The Board also noted that the peer performance comparisons for the WesMark West Virginia Municipal Bond Fund were of limited value because of the unique nature of the West Virginia municipal bond market and limited number of municipal bond funds dedicated to West Virginia. Overall the Board concluded that it was very satisfied with the Advisor’s performance in managing the Funds. The Board will continue to monitor these efforts and performance of the Funds.

The Board also receives financial information about the Adviser, including reports on the compensation and benefits the Adviser derives from its relationships with the Funds. These reports cover not only the fees under the advisory contracts, but also fees received by WesBanco’s subsidiaries for providing other services to the Funds under separate contracts. Such fees included fees for serving as the Funds’ custodian and fees related to the provision of shareholder services. The reports also discuss any indirect benefit the Adviser may derive from its receipt of research services from brokers who execute fund trades. Although the Board considered the profitability of the Adviser on a fund-by-fund basis, in the Board’s view, the cost of performing advisory services on a fund-specific basis is both difficult to estimate satisfactorily and therefore a relatively minor consideration in its overall evaluation. The Board therefore determined that the profitability analysis was of limited value.

For the period ended December 31, 2011, the investment advisory fee for WesMark West Virginia Municipal Bond Fund, WesMark Government Bond Fund, WesMark Growth Fund and WesMark Balanced Fund were above the median for the relevant peer groups. For the period ended December 31, 2011, the investment advisory fee for the WesMark Small Company Growth Fund was below the relevant peer group. The Board reviewed the fees and other expenses of the Funds with the Advisor and was satisfied that the overall expense structure of the Funds remained competitive. The Board will continue to monitor advisory fees and other expenses borne by the Funds. The Board also considered the Adviser’s agreement to waive a portion of its investment advisory fee for the WesMark West Virginia Municipal Bond Fund during its current fiscal year. The Board concluded that the nature, quality and scope of services provided the funds by the Adviser and its affiliates were satisfactory.

The Board also considered whether “economies of scale” may exist and whether the Funds benefit from any such economies. The Board

noted that each of the Funds is of relatively small size relative to its peers and had not experienced any rapid increase in assets. Under these circumstances, the Board concluded there were no meaningful “economies of scale” enjoyed by the adviser in managing the Funds.

The Board based its decision to renew the advisory contracts on the totality of the circumstances and relevant factors and with a view to past and future long-term considerations. Each factor and consideration identified above may not be relevant to every Fund, nor does the Board consider any one of them to be determinative. With respect to the factors that are relevant, the Board’s decision to approve the contract reflects its determination that the Adviser’s performance and actions provide a satisfactory basis to support the decision to continue the existing arrangements. Because the totality of circumstances includes considering the relationship of each Fund to the WesMark family of Funds, the Board does not approach consideration of each Fund’s advisory contract as if that were the only fund offered by the Adviser.
