Centra Financial Holdings, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE A - ORGANIZATION
Centra Bank, Inc. (Centra Bank or the Company) is a newly formed (September 27,
1999), full service commercial bank chartered under the laws of the State of
West Virginia. Centra Bank commenced operations on February 14, 2000. Centra
Financial Holdings, Inc. (Centra) was formed on October 25, 1999 for the purpose
of becoming a one-bank holding company to hold all of the outstanding stock of
Centra Bank. The shares of Centra Bank were exchanged for shares of Centra
Financial in the second quarter of 2000. The Company expensed all costs of
start-up activities including activities related to organizing the new entity.
Start-up costs included training costs, consulting fees, utilities and related
expenses during the pre-opening period.
NOTE B - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accounting and reporting policies of Centra conform to generally accepted
accounting principles and practices in the banking industry. The preparation of
the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual
results could differ from those estimates. All significant intercompany accounts
and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The interim financial
information included in this report is unaudited. In the opinion of management,
all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim
periods have been made. These notes are presented in conjunction with the Notes
to Financial Statements included in the Audited Financial Statements of Centra
Bank, Inc. as of December 31, 1999.
NOTE C - NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE
Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the
average common shares outstanding during the period. Stock options were issued
under the Centra Financial Holdings, Inc. Stock Option Plan (the Plan) in the
second quarter. Because the option price and market price are the same, there
is no difference between primary and fully diluted earnings per share.
NOTE D - ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 1998, the FASB issued Statement No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities," (FAS 133) which requires all derivatives to
be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value and establishes "special"
accounting for fair value, cash flow, and foreign currency hedges. FAS 133 is
effective, as amended, for quarterly and annual reporting beginning January 1,
2001. This Statement is not expected to impact Centra because Centra currently
does not have derivative financial instruments.

INTRODUCTION
The following discussion and analysis of the consolidated financial statements
of Centra is presented to provide insight into management's assessment of the
financial results. Centra's wholly-owned banking subsidiary, Centra Bank, Inc.,
is the primary financial entity in this discussion. Unless otherwise noted, this
discussion will be in reference to the bank.
The bank began operations February 14, 2000 at 990 Elmer Prince Drive in
Morgantown, West Virginia. The bank provides a full array of financial products
and services to its customers, including traditional banking products such as
deposit accounts, lending products, debit cards, an Automated Teller Machine,
and safe deposit rental facilities.
Centra was chartered by the State of West Virginia and is subject to regulation,
supervision, and examination by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
("FDIC") and the West Virginia Department of Banking. The bank is not a member
of the Federal Reserve System. The bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan
Bank of Pittsburgh.
You should read this discussion and analysis in conjunction with the prior
year-end audited bank financial statements and footnotes thereto and the ratios,
statistics, and discussions contained elsewhere in this Form 10-QSB.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview of the Statement of Income
For the nine and three months ended September 30, 2000, Centra incurred losses
of $1,245,146 and $294,478. These losses are attributable to start up operating
expenses that were only partially offset by net interest income and other
operating revenue.
Net interest income totaled $909,203 and $424,238 for the nine months and three
months ended September 30, 2000. Loan loss provisions of $536,000 and $162,000
for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2000 offset net interest
income. The provision for loan losses, which is a product of management's formal
quarterly analysis, is made in response to inherent risks in the loan portfolio.
Non-interest income, exclusive of security transactions, totaled $57,408 and
$34,077 for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2000. Centra incurred
a loss of $495 on securities transactions for the nine months ended September
30, 2000 due to the liquidation of securities to fund loan growth.
INTEREST INCOME AND EXPENSE
Net interest income is the amount by which interest income on earning assets
exceeds interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Interest earning assets
include loans and investment securities. Interest-bearing liabilities include
interest-bearing deposits and borrowed funds. Net interest income is the primary
source of revenue for the bank. Changes in market interest rates, as well as
changes in the mix and volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities, impact net interest income.
The bank's interest earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities changed
significantly during the first nine months of 2000. Upon opening, the bank began
accepting all forms of customer deposits as well as offering commercial,
consumer and mortgage products. Therefore, there has been a significant change
in the mix of both assets and liabilities of the bank.
Net interest margin is calculated by dividing net interest income by average
interest earning assets. This ratio serves as a performance measurement of the
net interest revenue stream generated by the bank's balance sheet. The net
interest margin for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2000 was 3.70%
and 3.46% respectively. Average loan balances have grown from $15,585,164 in the
second quarter to $30,014,050 in the third quarter. Net interest margin declined
from 3.66% in the second quarter to 3.46% in the third quarter. Centra expected
this decline as the bank's source of funds shifted from seed capital to interest
bearing deposits and liabilities and funds were redeployed into loans.
Management continuously monitors the effects of net interest margin on the
performance of the bank. Growth and mix of the balance sheet will impact net
interest margin in future periods. As competition for deposits continues,
management anticipates that future net interest margins will continue to be
pressured by the continual shifting of funding sources.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
The provision for loan losses for the nine and three months ended September 30,
2000 was $536,000 and $162,000 respectively. Management bases the provision for
loan losses upon its continuing evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for
loan losses and the overall management of inherent credit risk.
9
<PAGE> 11
Due to the start up nature of the bank, arriving at an appropriate allowance
involves a high degree of management judgment. In exercising this judgment,
management considers numerous internal and external factors including, but not
limited to, portfolio growth, national and local economic conditions, trends in
the markets served, historical loss experience of other institutions in these
markets and guidance from the bank's primary regulator. Management seeks to
produce an allowance for loan losses that is appropriate in the circumstances
and that complies with applicable accounting and regulatory standards
NON-INTEREST INCOME
Fees related to deposit accounts and electronic banking revenue generate the
bank's non-interest income. Due to the start-up nature of the bank, non-interest
income totaled $56,913 and $34,077 for the nine and three months ended September
30, 2000. The bank has undertaken a strategic philosophy of offering free
checking with minimal fees to capture market share. Therefore, we expect
non-interest income to be below peer institutions.
NON-INTEREST EXPENSE
For the nine and three months ended September 30, 2000, non-interest expense
totaled $1,675,262 and $590,793, respectively. Non-interest expense reflects all
costs for the first nine months while the bank opened on February 14, 2000. This
"mismatch" of expenses and revenues should be reduced as the bank achieves a
critical mass to support profitability and economies of scale. Salaries and
employee benefits, occupancy expense and furniture, fixtures and equipment
expense are the bank's primary non-interest expenses.
For the nine and three months ended September 30, 2000, depreciation of
leasehold improvements and furniture, fixtures and equipment totaled $114,880
and $48,100, respectively. Net occupancy expense totaled $205,257 and $63,434 in
the nine and three months ended September 30, 2000.
Maintaining acceptable levels of non-interest expense and operating efficiency
are key performance indicators for the bank. The financial services industry
uses the efficiency ratio (total non-interest expense less amortization of
intangibles and non-recurring items as a percentage of the aggregate of net
interest income and non-interest income) as a key indicator of performance. Due
to growing to a level that will facilitate economies of scale and significant
start up expenses during the first nine months of 2000, the relevancy of the
efficiency ratio as an indicator of performance is minimal.
RETURN ON ASSETS AND EQUITY
Returns on assets (ROA) and equity (ROE) were (4.58)% and (15.28)% respectively.
These negative returns are the result of start up costs and minimal interest
earning assets. It is anticipated that these performance indicators will
continue to migrate towards those of the bank's peers.
The bank is considered well-capitalized under regulatory and industry standards
of risk-based capital.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE
The bank has not recorded income tax expense (benefit) during the nine or three
months ended September 30, 2000. While the bank is generating net operating
losses that will reduce future tax liabilities, the bank has established a
valuation allowance that eliminates the tax benefit from the financial
statements until it is recognized.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
OVERVIEW OF THE STATEMENT OF CONDITION
Total assets have increased $50.9 million since December 31, 1999. This is
attributable to the bank commencing operations on February 14, 2000. Asset
growth has occurred due to increases in loans and investments and was funded by
increases in all categories of deposits and short-term borrowings. The bank
utilizes investment securities and federal funds sold to temporarily invest
funds pending anticipated loan demand.
Deposits have grown to $48.6 million as of September 30, 2000. Short-term
borrowings have increased to $2.3 million.
Stockholders' equity has decreased approximately $30,000 due to a combination of
the $1.2 million collection of stock receivables from year-end offset by the
loss incurred in the first nine months of 2000.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $7.1 million as of September 30, 2000. This is
an increase of $4.4 million from year-end. These balances will continue to
stabilize or decrease in subsequent quarters due to loan demand and the
acquisition of short-term government securities in lieu of federal funds sold.
Management believes the current balance of cash and cash equivalents and
investments and loan portfolios maturing within one year adequately serves the
bank's liquidity and customers' needs. Total cash and cash equivalents fluctuate
on a daily basis due to transactions in process and other liquidity needs.
INVESTMENT SECURITIES
Investment securities totaled $15.9 million as of September 30, 2000. Government
sponsored agency securities comprise the majority of the portfolio. This is an
increase of $8.5 million from year-end.
All of the bank's investment securities are classified as available-for-sale.
Management believes the available-for-sale classification provides flexibility
for the bank in terms of growing the bank as well as interest rate risk
management. At September 30, 2000, the amortized cost of the bank's investment
securities totaled $15.9 million, resulting in unrealized depreciation in the
investment portfolio of $6,000 and a corresponding decrease in the bank's equity
of $6,000.
Management monitors the earnings performance and liquidity of the investment
portfolio on a regular basis through Asset/Liability Committee meetings. The
group also monitors net interest income, sets pricing guidelines, and manages
interest rate risk for the bank. Through active
11
<PAGE> 13
balance sheet management and analysis of the investment securities portfolio,
the bank maintains sufficient liquidity to satisfy depositor requirements and
the various credit needs of its customers. Management believes the risk
characteristics inherent in the investment portfolio are acceptable based on
these parameters.
LOANS
The bank's lending is primarily focused in north central West Virginia, and
consists primarily of commercial lending, retail lending, which includes
single-family residential mortgages, and consumer lending. Loans totaled $35.7
million as of September 30, 2000.
The following table details total loans outstanding as of September 30, 2000:

Consumer 1,798
-------
TOTAL LOANS $35,745
=======
</TABLE>
Commercial loans constitute the largest component of the lending portfolio. This
increase is the result of a concerted effort to attract quality commercial loans
while maintaining appropriate underwriting standards. Management expects
commercial loan demand to continue to be strong during the remainder of 2000.
The bank will continue to selectively lend to customers outside its primary
market area.
LOAN CONCENTRATION
While the bank does have significant commercial loan balances, the bank does not
have a concentration of its loan portfolio in any one industry. Due to the
recent opening of the bank, management has been working closely with the West
Virginia Department of Banking to assure that lending transactions meet
applicable state and federal regulations.
ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
The allowance is maintained at a level believed to be adequate by management to
absorb probable losses in the loan portfolio. Due to the start up nature of the
bank, arriving at an appropriate allowance involves a high degree of management
judgment. In exercising this judgment, management considers numerous internal
and external factors including, but not limited to, portfolio growth, national
and local economic conditions, trends in the markets served, historical loss
experience of other institutions in these markets and guidance from the bank's
primary regulator. Management attempts to produce an allowance for loan losses
that is appropriate in the circumstances for loan losses and that complies with
applicable accounting and regulatory standards.
The bank has experienced no charge offs in the nine or three months ended
September 30, 2000.
The bank has no nonperforming, nonaccrual, delinquent loans or other real estate
owned as of September 30, 2000.

FUNDING SOURCES
The bank considers deposits, short-term borrowings, and long-term borrowings
when evaluating funding sources. Traditional deposits continue to be the most
significant source of funds for the bank, reaching $48.6 million at September
30, 2000.
Management believes that the deposit base remains the most significant funding
source for the bank and will continue to concentrate on balancing deposit growth
and adequate net interest margin to meet the bank's strategic goals. The bank
continues to offer "special" deposit products in its markets to fund profitable
growth opportunities.
Along with traditional deposits, the bank has access to both short-term and
long-term borrowings to fund its operations and investments. The bank's
short-term borrowings consist of arrangements to purchase federal funds,
corporate deposits held in overnight repurchase agreements, and various FHLB
borrowings. At September 30, 2000, short-term borrowings totaled $2.3 million.
CAPITAL/STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
Centra sold 1.2 million shares of stock at $10 per share or a total of $12
million in a private offering during 1999 and completed the issuance in
February, 2000.
The primary source of funds for dividends to be paid by Centra Financial
Holdings, Inc. is dividends received from its subsidiary bank, Centra Bank, Inc.
Dividends paid by the subsidiary bank are subject to restrictions by banking
regulations. The most restrictive provision requires regulatory approval if
dividends declared in any year exceeds the year's retained net profits, as
defined, plus the retained net profits of the two preceding years. As of
September 30, 2000, no dividends have been paid, and management does not
anticipate dividend payments during the year. Centra Bank, Inc. will not pay
dividends without first obtaining the approval of the West Virginia Commissioner
of Banking.
Centra is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the
federal banking agencies. Under the capital adequacy guidelines and the
regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, Centra must meet specific
capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets,
liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory
accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to
qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and
other factors. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain
mandatory, and possible discretionary, actions by regulators that, if
undertaken, could have a direct material effect on Centra's financial
statements.
MARKET RISK MANAGEMENT
The objective of the bank's Asset/Liability Management function is to maintain
consistent growth in net interest income within the bank's policy guidelines.
This objective is accomplished through management of the bank's balance sheet
liquidity and interest rate risk exposure based on changes in economic
conditions, interest rate levels, and customer preferences.
Liquidity measures an organization's ability to meet cash obligations as they
come due. During the nine months ended September 30, 2000, the bank generated
cash primarily from increases in
13
<PAGE> 15
deposit accounts. The bank used cash flows of $35.7 million for the origination
of loans and $8.1 million for the net acquisition of short-term government
securities.
Additionally, management considers that portion of the loan portfolio that
matures within one year and the maturities within one year in the investment
portfolio as part of the bank's liquid assets. The bank's liquidity is monitored
by its Asset/Liability Committee, which establishes and monitors ranges of
acceptable liquidity. Management feels the bank's current liquidity position is
acceptable.
The bank manages interest rate risk to minimize the impact of fluctuating
interest rates on earnings. The bank uses simulation techniques which attempt to
measure the change in net interest income at various levels of interest rate
changes, basic banking interest rate spreads, the shape of the yield curve, and
the impact of changing product growth patterns. The primary method of measuring
the sensitivity of earnings to changing market interest rates is to simulate
expected cash flows using varying assumed interest rates while also adjusting
the timing and magnitude of non-contractual deposit repricing to more accurately
reflect anticipated pricing behavior.
The principal function of interest rate risk management is to maintain an
appropriate relationship between those assets and liabilities that are sensitive
to changing market interest rates. The bank closely monitors the sensitivity of
its assets and liabilities on an ongoing basis and projects the effect of
various interest rate changes on its net interest margin. Interest sensitive
assets and liabilities are defined as those assets or liabilities that mature or
reprice within a designated time-frame. The difference between rate sensitive
assets and rate sensitive liabilities for a specified period of time is known as
"gap".
To aid in interest rate management, the bank anticipates using FHLB advances as
a low risk means of matching maturities of earning assets with interest bearing
funds to achieve a desired interest rate spread over the life of the earning
assets.
A commonly used measure of interest rate risk is the gap report. A gap report
identifies the ratio of earning assets to interest bearing liabilities that will
mature or reprice within a given time period. A sensitivity ratio of greater
than 1.00 (positive gap) indicates that more earning assets than interest
bearing liabilities will be subject to interest rate repricing during a given
period. Thus, an increase in interest rates would tend to have a positive impact
on net interest income, while a decline in rates would tend to have the opposite
effect.

EFFECTS OF INFLATION ON FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Substantially all of the bank's assets relate to banking and are monetary in
nature. Therefore they are not impacted by inflation to the same degree as
companies in capital-intensive industries in a replacement cost environment.
During a period of rising prices, a net monetary asset position results in loss
in purchasing power and conversely a net monetary liability position results in
an increase in purchasing power. In the banking industry, typically monetary
assets exceed monetary liabilities. Therefore as prices have recently increased,
financial institutions experienced a decline in the purchasing power of their
net assets.
FUTURE OUTLOOK
The bank's results of operations in the first nine months of 2000 represent the
infancy stage of a typical de novo banking institution. The emphasis in future
periods will be to attract depositors and deploy those funds in the lending
function. The critical challenge for the bank in the future will be the emphasis
on customer service with the highest quality products and technology.
The bank has already exceeded first year growth goals after approximately four
months of operation and is approaching its year two goals. The challenge will be
to achieve critical mass to cover fixed costs inherent with the start-up of any
new financial institution.
Future plans for the bank involve the bank taking advantage of both technology
and personal customer contact. The bank introduced retail internet services in
the third quarter and is also using the internet to serve business customers. In
addition to "top of the line" technology, the bank is committed to providing
individual and personal banking services. As part of our commitment, the bank is
searching for additional branch locations that will compliment our
15
<PAGE> 17
delivery systems and enable the bank to service a broader customer base.
Construction is underway for Centra's branch office on University Avenue.
Construction will be completed and the branch will be operational the first
quarter of 2001. Also under consideration are additional ATM locations to
further enhance our distribution network.
