REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM







Trustees of Ameriserv Financial 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan

Johnstown, Pennsylvania



We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets available for benefits of Ameriserv Financial 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.


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


In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial status of Ameriserv Financial 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the changes in its financial status for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

AMERISERV FINANCIAL 401(k) PROFIT SHARING PLAN

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF PLAN


The following brief description of the Ameriserv Financial 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan (the “Plan”) is provided for general information purposes only.  Interested parties should refer to the Plan Document for a more comprehensive description of the Plan’s provisions.


General


The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering the employees of Ameriserv Financial, Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiaries Ameriserv Financial Bank, Ameriserv Trust and Financial Services, and Ameriserv Associates, Inc. (the “Companies”), including members of the United Steelworkers of America, AFL-CIO-CLC, Local Union 2653-06 (the “Union”) who have attained the age of 21 and the earlier of completion of 12 consecutive months of service with at least 500 hours of service (employee deferrals) or 1,000 hours of service (employer discretionary contribution).  The Plan includes a 401(k) before-tax savings feature, which permits participants to defer compensation under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code.  It is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), as amended.  The Plan is not covered by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation.


Contributions


Employees may elect to contribute, through the 401(k) feature, 1 percent to 100 percent of their base salaries each period to the maximum amount permitted by the Internal Revenue Code.  Employees may elect to have their contributions in 5 percent increments invested in one or more of 29 mutual funds, 6 common/collective portfolios, 2 money market funds, and the Ameriserv Financial, Inc. common stock administered by the Plan’s trustee.  Although certain participants received shares of Three Rivers Bancorp, Inc. common stock (a.k.a. “Sky Financial” stock) as a result of the 2000 spin-off of Ameriserv Financial’s Three Rivers Bank subsidiary, such is not an investment option for additional purchase.  The diversified mutual fund investment options include a bond and government securities fund and various U.S. and foreign stock funds.


The Companies have the right to make a discretionary contribution to the Plan.  Any contribution to be made will be on an annual basis, and such contribution is allocated as a percentage of compensation of eligible participants for the year.  In addition, the Companies contribute 2 percent of employees’ gross compensation on behalf of Union employees.


Participant Accounts


Each participant’s profit sharing account is credited with Plan earnings.  Allocations are based upon the proportionate value of all accounts.  The benefit to which each participant is entitled is that which can be provided from the participant’s account.


Vesting


Participants are immediately vested in their voluntary contributions plus actual earnings thereon.  Vesting in the sponsor’s contributions in the Plan is based on completion of credited service years.  A credited service year is considered one in which the participant completed at least 1,000 hours of service.  Employees become 100 percent vested after five years of service.



5






Payment of Benefits


On termination of service, a participant will receive a lump sum amount equal to the vested value of his or her account.  The Plan also provides for normal retirement benefits to be paid in the form of a lump sum upon reaching age 65 or termination of employment and has provisions for deferred, death, disability and retirement benefits, and hardship withdrawals.


Forfeitures


Forfeitures of a participant’s non-vested account shall be restored upon rehire if such rehire happens at any time during his or her 5th consecutive one-year break in service. At the end of the Plan year in which the former participant incurs his or her 5th consecutive one-year break in service, the forfeitures held on behalf of the participant will be allocated to all participants eligible to share in the allocations in the same proportion that each participant’s account balance bears to all account balances for such year.  At December 31, 2005 and 2004, the forfeiture account had a balance of $41,994 and $58,604, respectively.  Forfeitures totaling $16,366 and $30,488 for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, were reallocated to participants’ accounts.


Administrative Expenses


Certain administrative functions are performed by officers and employees of the Companies.  No such officer or employee receives compensation from the Plan.  Certain other administrative expenses are paid directly by the Companies.  Such costs amounted to $54,319 and $75,185 for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.


Risks and Uncertainties


The Plan invests in various investment securities.  Investment securities are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market, and credit risks.  Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the Statement of Net Assets Available for Benefits.


NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


The accounting principles followed by the Plan and the methods of applying these principles conform with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.


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


Accounting Estimates


The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.  In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures.  Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.




6






Valuation of Investments


Quoted market prices are used to value investments.  Investments for which there is no quoted market price are reported at their estimated fair value.


NOTE 3 - INVESTMENTS


The Plan investments are administered by Ameriserv Trust and Financial Services (Trustee).  


During 2005, the Plan’s investments (including investments bought and sold, as well as, held during the year) appreciated in value by $528,620.

NOTE 4 - PLAN TERMINATION


Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Companies have the right, under the Plan, to discontinue their contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA.  In the event of termination of the Plan, participants will become 100 percent vested in their accounts.



7




NOTE 5 - TAX STATUS


The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Bank that the Plan and related trust are designed in accordance with applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code.  Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been included in the Plan’s financial statements.


NOTE 6 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS


Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments, requires the Plan to disclose the estimated fair value of its financial instruments.  Financial instruments are defined as cash, evidence of ownership interest in an entity, or a contract which creates an obligation or right to receive or deliver cash or another financial instrument from/to a second entity on potentially favorable or unfavorable terms.  Fair value is defined as the amount at which a financial instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties other than in a forced liquidation or sale.  If a quoted market price is available for a financial instrument, the estimated fair value would be calculated based upon the market price per trading unit of the instrument.


Investments in mutual funds, participant loans, and cash would be considered financial instruments. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, the carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate fair value.



8













REPORT ON SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION








Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedule of Assets Held for Investment Purposes as of December 31, 2005, is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements, but is supplementary information required by the United States Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.  The supplemental schedule is the responsibility of Plan’s management.  The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.
