Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

We, Summit Financial Group, Inc. and subsidiaries, prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual year end financial statements. In our opinion, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included and are of a normal recurring nature.

The presentation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.

The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The consolidated financial statements and notes included herein should be read in conjunction with our 2005 audited financial statements and Annual Report on Form 10-K. Certain accounts in the consolidated financial statements for December 31, 2005 and March 31, 2005, as previously presented, have been reclassified to conform to current year classifications.

Long-term borrowings: Our long-term borrowings of $163,547,368, $150,911,835 and $154,042,527 at March 31, 2006, December 31, 2005, and March 31, 2005 respectively, consisted primarily of advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”).

These borrowings bear both fixed and variable rates and mature in varying amounts through the year 2016.

The average interest rate paid on long-term borrowings for the three month period ended March 31, 2006 was 5.03% compared to 4.27% for the first three months of 2005.

Subordinated Debentures: We have three statutory business trusts that were formed for the purpose of issuing mandatorily redeemable securities (the “capital securities”) for which we are obligated to third party investors and investing the proceeds from the sale of the capital securities in our junior subordinated debentures (the “debentures”). The debentures held by the trusts are their sole assets. Our subordinated debentures totaled $19,589,000 at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, and $11,341,000 March 31, 2005.

In October 2002, we sponsored SFG Capital Trust I, in March 2004, we sponsored SFG Capital Trust II, and in December 2005, we sponsored SFG Capital Trust III, of which 100% of the common equity of each trust is owned by us. SFG Capital Trust I issued $3,500,000 in capital securities and $109,000 in common securities and invested the proceeds in $3,609,000 of debentures. SFG Capital Trust II issued $7,500,000 in capital securities and $232,000 in common securities and invested the proceeds in $7,732,000 of debentures. SFG Capital Trust III issued $8,000,000 in capital securities and $248,000 in common securities and invested the proceeds in $8,248,000 of debentures. Distributions on the capital securities issued by the trusts are payable quarterly at a variable interest rate equal to 3 month LIBOR plus 345 basis points for SFG Capital Trust I, 3 month LIBOR plus 280 basis points for SFG Capital Trust II, and 3 month LIBOR plus 145 basis points for SFG Capital Trust III, and equals the interest rate earned on the debentures held by the trusts, and is recorded as interest expense by us. The capital securities are subject to mandatory redemption in whole or in part, upon repayment of the debentures. We have entered into agreements which, taken collectively, fully and unconditionally guarantee the capital securities subject to the terms of the guarantee. The debentures of SFG Capital Trust I, SFG Capital Trust II, and SFG Capital Trust III are first redeemable by us in November 2007, March 2009, and March 2011, respectively.

The capital securities held by SFG Capital Trust I, SFG Capital Trust II, and SFG Capital Trust III qualify as Tier 1 capital under Federal Reserve Board guidelines. In accordance with these Guidelines, trust preferred securities generally are limited to 25% of Tier 1 capital elements, net of goodwill. The amount of trust preferred securities and certain other elements in excess of the limit can be included in Tier 2 capital.

Note 9. Stock Option Plan

On January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payment (Revised 2004), which is a revision of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock Issued for Employees. SFAS No. 123R establishes accounting requirements for share-based compensation to employees and carries forward prior guidance on accounting for awards to non-employees. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R, we reported employee compensation expense under stock option plans only if options were granted below market prices at grant date in accordance with the intrinsic value method of Accounting Principles Board Opinion (“APB”) No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. In accordance with APB No. 25, we reported no compensation expense on options granted as the exercise price of the options granted always equaled the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant. SFAS No. 123R eliminates the ability to account for stock-based compensation using APB No. 25 and requires that such transactions be recognized as compensation cost in the income statement based on their fair values on the measurement date, which is generally the date of the grant.

We transitioned to SFAS No. 123R using the modified prospective application method ("modified prospective application"). As permitted under modified prospective application, SFAS No. 123R applies to new awards and to awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled after January 1, 2006. Additionally, compensation cost for non-vested awards that were outstanding as of January 1, 2006 will be recognized as the remaining requisite service is rendered during the period of and/or the periods after the adoption of SFAS No. 123R, adjusted for estimated forfeitures. The recognition of compensation cost for those earlier awards is based on the same method and on the same grant-date fair values previously determined for the pro forma disclosures reported by us for periods prior to January 1, 2006.

The Officer Stock Option Plan, which provides for the granting of stock options for up to 960,000 shares of common stock to our key officers, was adopted in 1998 and expires in 2008. Each option granted under the plan vests according to a schedule designated at the grant date and shall have a term of no more than 10 years following the vesting date. Also, the option price per share shall not be less than the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant.

The fair value of our employee stock options granted is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. This model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, changes to which can materially affect the fair value estimate. Additionally, there may be other factors that would otherwise have a significant effect on the value of employee stock options granted but are not considered by the model. Because our employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options at the time of grant. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model are as follows:

There were no option grants during the first three months of 2006 or the first three months of 2005. Therefore, the factors for March 31, 2006 and March 31, 2005 are consistent with amounts reported in our 2005 Annual Report and 2004 Annual Report, respectively.

During first quarter 2006, we recognized $6,617 of compensation expense for share-based payment arrangements in our income statement, with a deferred tax asset of $2,250. At March 31, 2006, we had approximately $37,500 total compensation cost related to nonvested awards not yet recognized and we expect to recognize it over the next three years.

The following pro forma disclosures present for the quarter ended March 31, 2005, our reported net income and basic and diluted earnings per share had we recognized compensation expense for our Officer Stock Option Plan based on the grant date fair values of the options (the fair value method described in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123). For purposes of computing the pro forma amounts, we estimated the fair value of the options at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. For purposes of the pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized to expense over the options’ vesting period.

Note 10. Commitments and Contingencies

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We are a party to certain financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of our customers. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the statement of financial position. The contract amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of involvement that we have in this class of financial instruments.

Many of our lending relationships contain both funded and unfunded elements. The funded portion is reflected on our balance sheet. The unfunded portion of these commitments is not recorded on our balance sheet until a draw is made under the loan facility. Since many of the commitments to extend credit may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash flow requirements.

Summit Financial Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

A summary of the total unfunded, or off-balance sheet, credit extension commitments follows:

	March 31,
	2006
Commitments to extend credit:
Revolving home equity and
credit card lines	$	29,721,912
Construction loans		93,553,614
Other loans		36,181,376
Standby letters of credit		12,772,599
Total	$	172,229,501

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. We evaluate each customer's credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if we deem necessary upon extension of credit, is based on our credit evaluation. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, equipment or real estate.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Standby letters of credit generally are contingent upon the failure of the customer to perform according to the terms of the underlying contract with the third party.

Our exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. We use the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as we do for on-balance sheet instruments.

Note 11. Restrictions on Capital

We and our subsidiaries are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the banking regulatory agencies. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, we and each of our subsidiaries must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of our and our subsidiaries’ assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. We and each of our subsidiaries’ capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require us and each of our subsidiaries to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier I capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). We believe, as of March 31, 2006, that we and each of our subsidiaries met all capital adequacy requirements to which they were subject.

The most recent notifications from the banking regulatory agencies categorized us and each of our subsidiaries as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, we and each of our subsidiaries must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based, and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the table below.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and

Results of Operations

INTRODUCTION

The following discussion and analysis focuses on significant changes in our financial condition and results of operations of Summit Financial Group, Inc. (“Company” or “Summit”) and our operating units, Summit Community Bank (“Summit Community”), Shenandoah Valley National Bank (“Shenandoah”), Summit Mortgage, and Summit Insurance Services, LLC for the periods indicated. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our 2005 audited financial statements and Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The Private Securities Litigation Act of 1995 indicates that the disclosure of forward-looking information is desirable for investors and encourages such disclosure by providing a safe harbor for forward-looking statements by us. Our following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations contains certain forward-looking statements that involve risk and uncertainty. In order to comply with the terms of the safe harbor, we note that a variety of factors could cause our actual results and experience to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in those forward-looking statements.

OVERVIEW

Our primary source of income is net interest income from loans and deposits. Business volumes tend to be influenced by the overall economic factors including market interest rates, business spending, and consumer confidence, as well as competitive conditions within the marketplace.

Strong growth in our interest earning assets resulted in an increase of 19.53%, or $1,460,000, in our net interest earnings on a tax equivalent basis for the first three months in 2006 compared to the same period of 2005. Further, our mortgage banking segment contributed $333,000 to our first three months 2006 earnings.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and follow general practices within the financial services industry. Application of these principles requires us to make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that affect the amounts reported in our financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates, assumptions, and judgments are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements; accordingly, as this information changes, the financial statements could reflect different estimates, assumptions, and judgments. Certain policies inherently have a greater reliance on the use of estimates, assumptions, and judgments and as such have a greater possibility of producing results that could be materially different than originally reported.

Our most significant accounting policies are presented in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements of our 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K. These policies, along with the disclosures presented in the other financial statement notes and in this financial review, provide information on how significant assets and liabilities are valued in the financial statements and how those values are determined.

Based on the valuation techniques used and the sensitivity of financial statement amounts to the methods, assumptions, and estimates underlying those amounts, we have identified the determination of the allowance for loan losses and the valuation of goodwill to be the accounting areas that require the most subjective or complex judgments, and as such could be most subject to revision as new information becomes available.

The allowance for loan losses represents our estimate of probable credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Determining the amount of the allowance for loan losses is considered a critical accounting estimate because it requires significant judgment and the use of estimates related to the amount and timing of expected future cash flows on impaired loans, estimated losses on pools of homogeneous loans based on historical loss experience, and consideration of current economic trends and conditions, all of which may be susceptible to significant change. The loan portfolio also represents the largest asset type on our consolidated balance sheet. To the extent actual outcomes differ from our estimates, additional provisions for loan losses may be required that would negatively impact earnings in future periods. Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements of our 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K describes the methodology used to determine the allowance for loan losses and a discussion of the factors driving changes in the amount of the allowance for loan losses is included in the Asset Quality section of the financial review of the 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and

Results of Operations

Goodwill is subject to impairment testing at least annually to determine whether write-downs of the recorded balances are necessary. A fair value is determined based on at least one of three various market valuation methodologies. If the fair value equals or exceeds the book value, no write-down of recorded goodwill is necessary. If the fair value is less than the book value, an expense may be required on our books to write down the goodwill to the proper carrying value. During the third quarter, we will complete the required annual impairment test for 2006. We cannot assure you that future goodwill impairment tests will not result in a charge to earnings. See Notes 1 and 8 of the consolidated financial statements of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for further discussion of our intangible assets, which include goodwill.

BUSINESS SEGMENT RESULTS

We are organized and managed along two major business segments, as described in Note 12 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The results of each business segment are intended to reflect each segment as if it were a stand alone business. Net income by segment follows:

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Earnings Summary

Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 grew 23.2% to $2,971,000, or $0.41 per diluted share as compared to $2,411,000, or $0.34 per diluted share for the quarter ended March 31, 2005. Returns on average equity and assets for the first three months of 2006 were 15.60% and 1.05%, respectively, compared with 14.53% and 1.08% for the same period of 2005.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income is the principal component of our earnings and represents the difference between interest and fee income generated from earning assets and the interest expense paid on deposits and borrowed funds. Fluctuations in interest rates as well as changes in the volume and mix of earning assets and interest bearing liabilities can materially impact net interest income.

Our net interest income on a fully tax-equivalent basis totaled $8,936,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2006 compared to $7,476,000 for the same period of 2005, representing an increase of $1,460,000 or 19.53%. This increase resulted from growth in interest earning assets, primarily loans, which served to more than offset the 122 basis points increase in the cost of interest bearing liabilities during the same period. Average interest earning assets grew 26.65% from $845,667,000 during the first three months of 2005 to $1,070,582,000 for the first three months of 2006. Average interest bearing liabilities grew 27.93% from $764,336,000 at March 31, 2005 to $977,829,000 at March 31, 2006, at an average yield for the first three months of 2006 of 3.95% compared to 2.73% for the same period of 2005.

Our net yield on interest earning assets decreased to 3.39% for the three month period ended March 31, 2006, compared to 3.59% for the same period in 2005. On a quarterly basis, our net interest margin was unchanged compared to the linked quarter. The positive impact to net interest income of our growth in interest earning assets was somewhat offset by lower net interest margin due to increased cost of interest bearing liabilities, which tend to move more proportionately with rate increases by the Fed. The yields on earning assets increased 95 basis points, while the cost of our interest bearing funds increased by 122 basis points.

We anticipate modest growth in our net interest income to continue over the near term as the growth in the volume of interest earning assets will more than offset the expected continued decline in our net interest margin. However, if market interest rates remain significantly unchanged, or go lower over the next 12 to 18 months, the spread between interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities could narrow such that its impact could not be offset by growth in earning assets. See the “Market Risk Management” section for further discussion of the impact changes in market interest rates could have on us. Further analysis of our yields on interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities are presented in Tables I and II below.

Insurance commissions: These commissions increased 55.4% for first quarter 2006 over first quarter 2005 primarily due to commissions received by Summit Insurance Services, LLC, which offers both commercial and personal lines of insurance.

Service fees: Total service fees increased 15.6% for the first quarter of 2006 compared to the same period of 2005. These increases were primarily attributable to an increase in overdraft and nonsufficient funds (NSF) fees due to increased overdrafts by customers.

Mortgage origination revenue: The following table shows our mortgage origination segment’s loan activity:

Summit Mortgage originates loans solely for the purpose of selling them. We do not service these loans, therefore there is no servicing intangible associated with this segment. Our mortgage banking revenue consists entirely of two components: 1) fees collected at the time of origination and 2) the gains we receive when selling the loans. The breakout of these fees and gains follows:

Summit Financial Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and

Results of Operations

Mortgage origination revenue increased for the first three months of 2006, and is impacted by changes in the mix of loans originated. During the first three months of 2006, 15.2% of the total dollar amount of loan originations were first mortgage loans as compared to 20.8% during the first three months of 2005. Sales of first mortgage loans typically result in smaller margins than sales of second mortgage loans.

Other: Other income increased 22.7% for the first quarter of 2006. The major components of this increase were increases in debit card and ATM income due to increased card usage by customers.

Noninterest Expense

Total noninterest expense increased approximately $1,463,000, or 14.5% to $11,518,000 during the first three months of 2006 as compared to the same period in 2005. Salaries and employee benefits expense represented the largest category of expense growth. This growth was due to the staffing requirements as a result of our growth. Another major contributor to the increase in total noninterest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was net occupancy expense. This increase was due to expenses related to our new Virginia market offices and the relocation of Summit Mortgage. Table III below shows the breakdown of these increases by segment. Also, refer to Note 12 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements for our segment information.

Total noninterest expense for our community banking, parent, and other segment increased $828,000, or 18.6% for the first quarter of 2006, compared to the same period of 2005. The major factors contributing to these increases follow.

Summit Financial Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and

Results of Operations

Salaries and employee benefits: Salaries and employee benefits expense increased 21.5% for the quarter ended March 31, 2006, due to additional staffing requirements needed as a result of our growth, including opening a new community banking office in Warrenton, Virginia, in July of 2005. Also included in this increase are general merit raises.

Net occupancy expense: The quarterly increase in net occupancy expense is primarily attributed to the cost of occupying the new Warrenton, Virginia office.

Other: Other expenses increased 24.6% for first quarter 2006 compared to first quarter 2005. This increase includes $52,000 of losses in fraudulent checks.

Mortgage Banking Segment

Total noninterest expense for our mortgage banking segment increased $635,000, or 11.3% for the first quarter of 2006 compared to the same period of 2005.

Salaries and employee benefits: The increase of $75,000 in salaries and employee benefits for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 compared to first quarter 2005 was primarily the result of an increase in profitability based incentive compensation paid to Summit Mortgage management.

Net occupancy expense: Net occupancy expense increased 46.6% for the first quarter of 2006 compared to the same period of 2005 due to the relocation of our Summit Mortgage headquarters to Chesapeake, Virginia in late 2005.

Postage: The increase in postage expense of $233,000 for the first quarter 2006, compared to first quarter 2005, is attributable to the increase in postage rates by the US Postal Service. Also, the number of mailers mailed during first quarter 2006 was slightly higher than first quarter 2005.

Credit Experience

The provision for loan losses represents charges to earnings necessary to maintain an adequate allowance for potential future loan losses. Our determination of the appropriate level of the allowance is based on an ongoing analysis of credit quality and loss potential in the loan portfolio, change in the composition and risk characteristics of the loan portfolio, and the anticipated influence of national and local economic conditions. The adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is reviewed quarterly and adjustments are made as considered necessary.

We recorded a $395,000 provision for loan losses for the first three months of 2006, compared to $330,000 for the same period in 2005. Net loan charge offs for the first three months of 2006 were $62,000, as compared to $87,000 over the same period of 2005. At March 31, 2006, the allowance for loan losses totaled $6,485,000 or 0.77% of loans, net of unearned income, compared to $6,152,000 or 0.75% of loans, net of unearned income at December 31, 2005.

Our asset quality remains sound. As illustrated in Table IV below, our non-performing assets and loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest have increased during the past 12 months, but still remain at a historically moderate level.

Loan growth during the first three months of 2006, occurring principally in the commercial and real estate portfolios, was funded both by borrowings from the FHLB and deposits, including brokered certificates of deposit.

Deposits increased nearly $57 million during the first quarter of 2006. This increase was primarily in brokered deposits, which in turn were used to pay down FHLB short-term borrowings. We also borrowed FHLB long-term borrowings, and used those proceeds to pay on the FHLB overnight borrowings.

Refer to Notes 3, 4, 7, and 8 of the notes to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information with regard to changes in the composition of our securities, loans, deposits and borrowings between March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005.

LIQUIDITY

Liquidity reflects our ability to ensure the availability of adequate funds to meet loan commitments and deposit withdrawals, as well as provide for other transactional requirements. Liquidity is provided primarily by funds invested in cash and due from banks, Federal funds sold, non-pledged securities, and available lines of credit with the FHLB, the total of which approximated $180 million, or 15.9% of total assets at March 31, 2006 versus $125 million, or 11.3% of total assets at December 31, 2005.

Our liquidity position is monitored continuously to ensure that day-to-day as well as anticipated funding needs are met. We are not aware of any trends, commitments, events or uncertainties that have resulted in or are reasonably likely to result in a material change to our liquidity.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

One of our continuous goals is maintenance of a strong capital position. Through management of our capital resources, we seek to provide an attractive financial return to our shareholders while retaining sufficient capital to support future growth. Shareholders’ equity at March 31, 2006 totaled $75,816,000 compared to $73,803,000 at December 31, 2005.

Refer to Note 11 of the notes to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for information regarding regulatory restrictions on our capital as well as our subsidiaries’ capital.

MARKET RISK MANAGEMENT

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in the fair value of financial instruments due to changes in interest rates, exchange rates and equity prices. Interest rate risk is our primary market risk and results from timing differences in the repricing of assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet instruments, changes in relationships between rate indices and the potential exercise of imbedded options. The principal objective of asset/liability management is to minimize interest rate risk and our actions in this regard are taken under the guidance of our Asset/Liability Management Committee (“ALCO”), which is comprised of members of senior management and members of the

Board of Directors. The ALCO actively formulates the economic assumptions that we use in our financial planning and budgeting process and establishes policies which control and monitor our sources, uses and prices of funds.

Some amount of interest rate risk is inherent and appropriate to the banking business. Our net income is affected by changes in the absolute level of interest rates. Our interest rate risk position is moderately liability sensitive in the short term, and asset sensitive beyond two years. That is, in the short term, liabilities are likely to reprice faster than assets, resulting in a decrease in net income in a rising rate environment. Our net income would increase modestly in a falling interest rate environment. Over the long term, assets are likely to reprice faster than liabilities, resulting in an increase in net income in a rising rate environment while a falling interest rate environment would produce a decrease in net income. Net income is also subject to changes in the shape of the yield curve. In general, a flattening yield curve would result in a decline in our earnings due to the compression of earning asset yields and funding rates, while a steepening would result in increased earnings as margins widen.

Several techniques are available to monitor and control the level of interest rate risk. We primarily use earnings simulations modeling to monitor interest rate risk. The earnings simulation model forecasts the effects on net interest income under a variety of interest rate scenarios that incorporate changes in the absolute level of interest rates and changes in the shape of the yield curve. Each increase or decrease in interest rates is assumed to take place over the next 12 months, and then remain stable. Assumptions used to project yields and rates for new loans and deposits are derived from historical analysis. Securities portfolio maturities and prepayments are reinvested in like instruments. Mortgage loan prepayment assumptions are developed from industry estimates of prepayment speeds. Noncontractual deposit repricings are modeled on historical patterns.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have conducted as of March 31, 2006, an evaluation of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e). Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2006 were effective. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2006 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are involved in various legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of counsel, the outcome of these matters will not have a significant adverse effect on the consolidated financial statements.

On December 26, 2003, two of our subsidiaries, Summit Financial, LLC and Shenandoah Valley National Bank, and various employees of Summit Financial, LLC were served with a Petition for Temporary Injunction and a Bill of Complaint filed in the Circuit Court of Fairfax County, Virginia by Corinthian Mortgage Corporation. The filings allege various claims against Summit Financial, LLC and Shenandoah Valley National Bank arising out of the hiring of former employees of Corinthian Mortgage Corporation and the alleged use of trade secrets. The individual defendants have also been sued based on allegations arising out of their former employment relationship with Corinthian Mortgage and their employment with Summit Financial, LLC. Summit Financial, LLC now operates as Summit Mortgage, a division of Shenandoah Valley National Bank.

The plaintiff seeks damages in the amount proven at trial on each claim and punitive damages in the amount of $350,000 on each claim. Plaintiff also seeks permanent and temporary injunctive relief prohibiting the alleged use of trade secrets by Summit Financial and the alleged solicitation of Corinthian’s employees.

On January 22, 2004, we successfully defeated the Petition for Temporary Injunction brought against us by Corinthian Mortgage Corporation. The Circuit Court of Fairfax County, Virginia denied Corinthian’s petition.

We, after consultation with legal counsel, believe that Corinthian’s claims made in its lawsuit arising out of the hiring of former employees of Corinthian Mortgage Corporation and the alleged use of trade secrets are without foundation and that meritorious defenses exist as to all the claims. We will continue to evaluate the claims in the Corinthian lawsuit and intend to vigorously defend against them. We believe that the lawsuit is without merit and will have no material adverse effect on us. Management, at the present time, is unable to estimate the impact, if any, an adverse decision may have on our results of operations or financial condition.

On January 4, 2006, Mary Forrest, an individual, filed suit in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin, Milwaukee Division, against our subsidiary, Shenandoah Valley National Bank. The plaintiff claims that Shenandoah violated the Federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (“FCRA”) alleging that Shenandoah used information contained in her consumer report, without extending a “firm offer of credit” within the meaning of the FCRA. Plaintiff requests statutory damages. This case is a purported class action. Presently, we do not have final information as to the size of the alleged class. Responsive pleadings have been filed, and discovery will be initiated shortly. We will continue to evaluate the claim in this lawsuit and intend to vigorously defend against it. Management, at the present time, is unable to estimate the impact, if any, an adverse decision may have on our results of operations or financial condition.
