FORWARD LOOKING INFORMATION

This filing contains certain forward looking statements (as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Act of 1995), which reflect our beliefs and expectations based on information currently available. These forward looking statements are inherently subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including changes in general economic and financial market conditions, our ability to effectively carry out our business plans and changes in regulatory or legislative requirements. Other factors that could cause or contribute to such differences are changes in competitive conditions and continuing consolidation in the financial services industry. Although we believe the expectations reflected in such forward looking statements are reasonable, actual results may differ materially.

PART I.

Item 1. Business

General

Summit Financial Group, Inc. (“Company” or “Summit”) is a $1.4 billion financial holding company headquartered in Moorefield, West Virginia. We provide commercial and retail banking services primarily in the Eastern Panhandle and South Central regions of West Virginia and the Northern region of Virginia. We provide these services through our community bank subsidiary: Summit Community Bank (“Summit Community”). We also operate Summit Insurance Services, LLC in Moorefield, West Virginia and Leesburg, Virginia.

Community Banking

We provide a wide range of community banking services, including demand, savings and time deposits; commercial, real estate and consumer loans; letters of credit; and cash management services. The deposits of the Summit Community are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC").

In order to compete with other financial service providers, we principally rely upon personal relationships established by our officers, directors and employees with our customers, and specialized services tailored to meet our customers’ needs. We and our Bank Subsidiary have maintained a strong community orientation by, among other things, supporting the active participation of staff members in local charitable, civic, school, religious and community development activities. We also have a marketing program that primarily utilizes local radio and newspapers to advertise.

Our primary lending focus is providing commercial loans to local businesses with annual sales ranging from $300,000 to $30 million and providing owner-occupied real estate loans to individuals. Typically, our customers have financing requirements between $50,000 and $1,000,000. We generally do not seek loans of more than $5 million, but will consider larger lending relationships which involve exceptional levels of credit quality. Under our commercial banking strategy, we focus on offering a broad line of financial products and services to small and medium-sized businesses through full service banking offices. Summit Community Bank has senior management with extensive lending experience. These managers exercise substantial authority over credit and pricing decisions, subject to loan committee approval for larger credits. This decentralized management approach, coupled with continuity of service by the same staff members, enables the Bank Subsidiaries to develop long-term customer relationships, maintain high quality service and respond quickly to customer needs. We believe that our emphasis on local relationship banking, together with a conservative approach to lending, are important factors in our success and growth.

We centralize operational and support functions that are transparent to customers in order to achieve consistency and cost efficiencies in the delivery of products and services by each banking office. The central office provides services such as data processing, bookkeeping, accounting, treasury management, loan administration, loan review, compliance, risk management and internal auditing to enhance our delivery of quality service. We also provide overall direction in the areas of credit policy and administration, strategic planning, marketing, investment portfolio management and other financial and administrative services. The banking offices work closely with us to develop new products and services needed by their customers and to introduce enhancements to existing products and services.

Supervision and Regulation

General

We, as a financial holding company, are subject to the restrictions of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (“BHCA”), and are registered pursuant to its provisions. As a registered financial holding company, we are subject to the reporting requirements of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors (“FRB”), and are subject to examination by the FRB.

As a financial holding company doing business in West Virginia, we are also subject to regulation by the West Virginia Board of Banking and Financial Institutions and must submit annual reports to the West Virginia Division of Banking.

The BHCA prohibits the acquisition by a financial holding company of direct or indirect ownership of more than five percent of the voting shares of any bank within the United States without prior approval of the FRB. With certain exceptions, a financial holding company is prohibited from acquiring direct or indirect ownership or control or more than five percent of the voting shares of any company which is not a bank, and from engaging directly or indirectly in business unrelated to the business of banking or managing or controlling banks.

The FRB, in its Regulation Y, permits financial holding companies to engage in non-banking activities closely related to banking or managing or controlling banks. Approval of the FRB is necessary to engage in these activities or to make acquisitions of corporations engaging in these activities as the FRB determines whether these acquisitions or activities are in the public interest. In addition, by order, and on a case by case basis, the FRB may approve other non-banking activities.

The BHCA permits us to purchase or redeem our own securities. However, Regulation Y provides that prior notice must be given to the FRB if the total consideration for such purchase or consideration, when aggregated with the net consideration paid by us for all such purchases or redemptions during the preceding 12 months is equal to 10 percent or more of the company’s consolidated net worth. Prior notice is not required if (i) both before and immediately after the redemption, the financial holding company is well-capitalized; (ii) the financial holding company is well-managed and (iii) the financial holding company is not the subject of any unresolved supervisory issues.

Federal law restricts subsidiary banks of a financial holding company from making certain extensions of credit to the parent financial holding company or to any of its subsidiaries, from investing in the holding company stock, and limits the ability of a subsidiary bank to take its parent company stock as collateral for the loans of any borrower. Additionally, federal law prohibits a financial holding company and its subsidiaries from engaging in certain tie-in arrangements in conjunction with the extension of credit or furnishing of services.

Summit Community is subject to West Virginia statutes and regulations, and is primarily regulated by the West Virginia Division of Banking and is also subject to regulations promulgated by the FRB and the FDIC. As members of the FDIC, the deposits of the bank are insured as required by federal law. Bank regulatory authorities regularly examine revenues, loans, investments, management practices, and other aspects of Summit Community. These examinations are conducted primarily to protect depositors and not shareholders. In addition to these regular examinations, Summit Community must furnish to regulatory authorities quarterly reports containing full and accurate statements of their affairs.

Permitted Non-banking Activities

The FRB permits, within prescribed limits, financial holding companies to engage in non-banking activities closely related to banking or to managing or controlling banks. Such activities are not limited to the state of West Virginia. Some examples of non-banking activities which presently may be performed by a financial holding company are: making or acquiring, for its own account or the account of others, loans and other extensions of credit; operating as an industrial bank, or industrial loan company, in the manner authorized by state law; servicing loans and other extensions of credit; performing or carrying on any one or more of the functions or activities that may be performed or carried on by a trust company in the manner authorized by federal or state law; acting as an investment or financial advisor; leasing real or personal property; making equity or debt investments in corporations or projects designed primarily to promote community welfare, such as the economic rehabilitation and the development of low income areas; providing bookkeeping services or financially oriented data processing services for the holding company and its subsidiaries; acting as an insurance agent or a broker; acting as an underwriter for credit life insurance which is directly related to extensions of credit by the financial holding company system; providing courier services for certain financial documents; providing management consulting advice to nonaffiliated banks; selling retail money orders having a face value of not more than $1,000, traveler's checks and U.S. savings bonds; performing appraisals of real estate; arranging commercial real estate equity financing under certain limited circumstances; providing securities brokerage services related to securities credit activities; underwriting and dealing in government obligations and money market instruments; providing foreign exchange advisory and transactional services; and acting under certain circumstances, as futures commission merchant for nonaffiliated persons in the execution and clearance on major commodity exchanges of futures contracts and options.

Credit and Monetary Policies and Related Matters

Summit Community is affected by the fiscal and monetary policies of the federal government and its agencies, including the FRB. An important function of these policies is to curb inflation and control recessions through control of the supply of money and credit. The operations of the Bank Subsidiaries are affected by the policies of government regulatory authorities, including the FRB which regulates money and credit conditions through open market operations in United States Government and Federal agency securities, adjustments in the discount rate on member bank borrowings, and requirements against deposits and regulation of interest rates payable by member banks on time and savings deposits. These policies have a significant influence on the growth and distribution of loans, investments and deposits, and interest rates charged on loans, or paid for time and savings deposits, as well as yields on investments. The FRB has had a significant effect on the operating results of commercial banks in the past and is expected to continue to do so in the future. Future policies of the FRB and other authorities and their effect on future earnings cannot be predicted.

The FRB has a policy that a financial holding company is expected to act as a source of financial and managerial strength to each of its subsidiary banks and to commit resources to support each such subsidiary bank. Under the source of strength doctrine, the FRB may require a financial holding company to contribute capital to a troubled subsidiary bank, and may charge the financial holding company with engaging in unsafe and unsound practices for failure to commit resources to such a subsidiary bank. This capital injection may be required at times when Summit may not have the resources to provide it. Any capital loans by a holding company to any subsidiary bank are subordinate in right of payment to deposits and to certain other indebtedness of such subsidiary bank. In addition, the Crime Control Act of 1990 provides that in the event of a financial holding company's bankruptcy, any commitment by such holding company to a Federal bank or thrift regulatory agency to maintain the capital of a subsidiary bank will be assumed by the bankruptcy trustee and entitled to a priority of payment.

In 1989, the United States Congress enacted the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act ("FIRREA"). Under FIRREA depository institutions insured by the FDIC may now be liable for any losses incurred by, or reasonably expected to be incurred by, the FDIC after August 9, 1989, in connection with (i) the default of a commonly controlled FDIC-insured depository institution, or (ii) any assistance provided by the FDIC to commonly controlled FDIC-insured depository institution in danger of default. "Default" is defined generally as the appointment of a conservator or receiver and "in danger of default" is defined generally as the existence of certain conditions indicating that a "default" is likely to occur in the absence of regulatory assistance. Accordingly, in the event that any insured bank or subsidiary of Summit causes a loss to the FDIC, other bank subsidiaries of Summit could be liable to the FDIC for the amount of such loss.

Under federal law, the OCC may order the pro rata assessment of shareholders of a national bank whose capital stock has become impaired, by losses or otherwise, to relieve a deficiency in such national bank's capital stock. This statute also provides for the enforcement of any such pro rata assessment of shareholders of such national bank to cover such impairment of capital stock by sale, to the extent necessary, of the capital stock of any assessed shareholder failing to pay the assessment. Similarly, the laws of certain states provide for such assessment and sale with respect to the subsidiary banks chartered by such states. Summit, as the sole stockholder of Summit Community, is subject to such provisions.

Capital Requirements

As a financial holding company, we are subject to FRB risk-based capital guidelines. The guidelines establish a systematic analytical framework that makes regulatory capital requirements more sensitive to differences in risk profiles among banking organizations, takes off-balance sheet exposures into explicit account in assessing capital adequacy, and minimizes disincentives to holding liquid, low-risk assets. Under the guidelines and related policies, financial holding companies must maintain capital sufficient to meet both a risk-based asset ratio test and leverage ratio test on a consolidated basis. The risk-based ratio is determined by allocating assets and specified off-balance sheet commitments into four weighted categories, with higher levels of capital being required for categories perceived as representing greater risk. Summit Community is subject to substantially similar capital requirements adopted by its applicable regulatory agencies.

Table of Contents

Generally, under the applicable guidelines, a financial institution's capital is divided into two tiers. "Tier 1", or core capital, includes common equity, noncumulative perpetual preferred stock (excluding auction rate issues) and minority interests in equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries, less goodwill and other intangibles. "Tier 2", or supplementary capital, includes, among other things, cumulative and limited-life preferred stock, hybrid capital instruments, mandatory convertible securities, qualifying subordinated debt, and the allowance for loan losses, subject to certain limitations, less required deductions. "Total capital" is the sum of Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital. Financial holding companies are subject to substantially identical requirements, except that cumulative perpetual preferred stock can constitute up to 25% of a financial holding company's Tier 1 capital.

Financial holding companies are required to maintain a risk-based capital ratio of 8%, of which at least 4% must be Tier 1 capital. The appropriate regulatory authority may set higher capital requirements when an institution's particular circumstances warrant. For purposes of the leverage ratio, the numerator is defined as Tier 1 capital and the denominator is defined as adjusted total assets (as specified in the guidelines). The guidelines provide for a minimum leverage ratio of 3% for financial holding companies that meet certain specified criteria, including excellent asset quality, high liquidity, low interest rate exposure and the highest regulatory rating. Financial holding companies not meeting these criteria are required to maintain a leverage ratio which exceeds 3% by a cushion of at least 1 to 2 percent.

The guidelines also provide that financial holding companies experiencing internal growth or making acquisitions will be expected to maintain strong capital positions substantially above the minimum supervisory levels, without significant reliance on intangible assets. Furthermore, the FRB's guidelines indicate that the FRB will continue to consider a "tangible Tier 1 leverage ratio" in evaluating proposals for expansion or new activities. The tangible Tier 1 leverage ratio is the ratio of an institution's Tier 1 capital, less all intangibles, to total assets, less all intangibles.

On August 2, 1995, the FRB and other banking agencies issued their final rule to implement the portion of Section 305 of FDICIA that requires the banking agencies to revise their risk-based capital standards to ensure that those standards take adequate account of interest rate risk. This final rule amends the capital standards to specify that the banking agencies will include, in their evaluations of a bank’s capital adequacy, an assessment of the exposure to declines in the economic value of the bank’s capital due to changes in interest rates.

Failure to meet applicable capital guidelines could subject the financial holding company to a variety of enforcement remedies available to the federal regulatory authorities, including limitations on the ability to pay dividends, the issuance by the regulatory authority of a capital directive to increase capital and termination of deposit insurance by the FDIC, as well as to the measures described under the "Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991" as applicable to undercapitalized institutions.

Our regulatory capital ratios and the Bank Subsidiary’s capital ratios as of year end 2007 are set forth in the table in Note 16 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements on page 59.

Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991

In December, 1991, Congress enacted the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA"), which substantially revised the bank regulatory and funding provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Act and made revisions to several other banking statues.

FDICIA establishes a new regulatory scheme, which ties the level of supervisory intervention by bank regulatory authorities primarily to a depository institution's capital category. Among other things, FDICIA authorizes regulatory authorities to take "prompt corrective action" with respect to depository institutions that do not meet minimum capital requirements. FDICIA establishes five capital tiers: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized.

By regulation, an institution is "well-capitalized" if it has a total risk-based capital ratio of 10% or greater, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6% or greater and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 5% or greater and is not subject to a regulatory order, agreement or directive to meet and maintain a specific capital level for any capital measure. Summit Community was a "well capitalized" institution as of December 31, 2007. As well-capitalized institutions, they are permitted to engage in a wider range of banking activities, including among other things, the accepting of "brokered deposits," and the offering of interest rates on deposits higher than the prevailing rate in their respective markets.

Table of Contents

Another requirement of FDICIA is that Federal banking agencies must prescribe regulations relating to various operational areas of banks and financial holding companies. These include standards for internal audit systems, loan documentation, information systems, internal controls, credit underwriting, interest rate exposure, asset growth, compensation, a maximum ratio of classified assets to capital, minimum earnings sufficient to absorb losses, a minimum ratio of market value to book value for publicly traded shares and such other standards as the agencies deem appropriate.

Reigle-Neal Interstate Banking Bill

In 1994, Congress passed the Reigle-Neal Interstate Banking Bill (the "Interstate Bill"). The Interstate Bill permits certain interstate banking activities through a holding company structure, effective September 30, 1995. It permits interstate branching by merger effective June 1, 1997 unless states "opt-in" sooner, or "opt-out" before that date. States may elect to permit de novo branching by specific legislative election. In March, 1996, West Virginia adopted changes to its banking laws so as to permit interstate banking and branching to the fullest extent permitted by the Interstate Bill. The Interstate Bill permits consolidation of banking institutions across state lines and, under certain conditions, de novo entry.

Community Reinvestment Act

Financial holding companies and their subsidiary banks are also subject to the provisions of the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 (“CRA”). Under the CRA, the Federal Reserve Board (or other appropriate bank regulatory agency) is required, in connection with its examination of a bank, to assess such bank’s record in meeting the credit needs of the communities served by that bank, including low and moderate income neighborhoods. Further such assessment is also required of any financial holding company which has applied to (i) charter a national bank, (ii) obtain deposit insurance coverage for a newly chartered institution, (iii) establish a new branch office that will accept deposits, (iv) relocate an office, or (v) merge or consolidate with, or acquire the assets or assume the liabilities of a federally-regulated financial institution. In the case of a financial holding company applying for approval to acquire a bank or other financial holding company, the FRB will assess the record of each subsidiary of the applicant financial holding company, and such records may be the basis for denying the application or imposing conditions in connection with approval of the application. On December 8, 1993, the Federal regulators jointly announced proposed regulations to simplify enforcement of the CRA by substituting the present twelve categories with three assessment categories for use in calculating CRA ratings (the “December 1993 Proposal”). In response to comments received by the regulators regarding the December 1993 Proposal, the federal bank regulators issued revised CRA proposed regulations on September 26, 1994 (the “Revised CRA Proposal”). The Revised CRA Proposal, compared to the December 1993 Proposal, essentially broadens the scope of CRA performance examinations and more explicitly considers community development activities. Moreover, in 1994, the Department of Justice became more actively involved in enforcing fair lending laws.

In the most recent CRA examination by the bank regulatory authorities, Summit Community Bank was given a “satisfactory” CRA rating.

Graham-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999

The enactment of the Graham-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 (the “GLB Act”) represents a pivotal point in the history of the financial services industry. The GLB Act swept away large parts of a regulatory framework that had its origins in the Depression Era of the 1930s. Effective March 11, 2000, new opportunities were available for banks, other depository institutions, insurance companies and securities firms to enter into combinations that permit a single financial services organization to offer customers a more complete array of financial products and services. The GLB Act provides a new regulatory framework through the financial holding company, which have as its “umbrella regulator” the FRB. Functional regulation of the financial holding company’s separately regulated subsidiaries are conducted by their primary functional regulators. The GLB Act makes a CRA rating of satisfactory or above necessary for insured depository institutions and their financial holding companies to engage in new financial activities. The GLB Act also provides a Federal right to privacy of non-public personal information of individual customers.

Deposit Acquisition Limitation

Under West Virginia banking law, an acquisition or merger is not permitted if the resulting depository institution or its holding company, including its affiliated depository institutions, would assume additional deposits to cause it to control deposits in the State of West Virginia in excess of twenty five percent (25%) of such total amount of all deposits held by insured depository institutions in West Virginia. This limitation may be waived by the Commissioner of Banking by showing good cause.

Table of Contents

Consumer Laws and Regulations

In addition to the banking laws and regulations discussed above, bank subsidiaries are also subject to certain consumer laws and regulations that are designed to protect consumers in transactions with banks. Among the more prominent of such laws and regulations are the Truth in Lending Act, the Truth in Savings Act, the Electronic Funds Transfer Act, the Expedited Funds Availability Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and the Fair Housing Act. These laws and regulations mandate certain disclosure requirements and regulate the manner in which financial institutions must deal with customers when taking deposits or making loans to such customers. Bank subsidiaries must comply with the applicable provisions of these consumer protection laws and regulations as part of their ongoing customer relations.

Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002

On July 30, 2002, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“SOA”) was enacted, which addresses, among other issues, corporate governance, auditing and accounting, executive compensation, and enhanced and timely disclosure of corporate information. Effective August 29, 2002, as directed by Section 302(a) of SOA, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are each required to certify that Summit’s Quarterly and Annual Reports do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact. The rules have several requirements, including requiring these officers certify that: they are responsible for establishing, maintaining and regularly evaluating the effectiveness of our internal controls; they have made certain disclosures to our auditors and the audit committee of the Board of Directors about our internal controls; and they have included information in Summit’s Quarterly and Annual Reports about their evaluation and whether there have been significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the evaluation.

Competition

We engage in highly competitive activities. Each activity and market served involves competition with other banks and savings institutions, as well as with non-banking and non-financial enterprises that offer financial products and services that compete directly with our products and services. We actively compete with other banks, mortgage companies and other financial service companies in our efforts to obtain deposits and make loans, in the scope and types of services offered, in interest rates paid on time deposits and charged on loans, and in other aspects of banking.

In addition to competing with other banks and mortgage companies, we compete with other financial institutions engaged in the business of making loans or accepting deposits, such as savings and loan associations, credit unions, industrial loan associations, insurance companies, small loan companies, finance companies, real estate investment trusts, certain governmental agencies, credit card organizations and other enterprises. In recent years, competition for money market accounts from securities brokers has also intensified. Additional competition for deposits comes from government and private issues of debt obligations and other investment alternatives for depositors such as money market funds. We take an aggressive competitive posture, and intend to continue vigorously competing for market share within our service areas by offering competitive rates and terms on both loans and deposits.

Employees

At March 1, 2008, we employed 238 full-time equivalent employees.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Investments in Summit Financial Group, Inc. common stock involve risk as discussed below.

Market Price Fluctuations

The market price of our stock may fluctuate significantly in response to several factors, including:

·	Changes in securities analysts’ estimates of financial performance

·	Volatility of stock market prices and volumes

·	Rumors or erroneous information

·	Changes in market valuations of similar companies

·	Changes in interest rates

·	New developments in the banking industry

·	Variations in our quarterly or annual operating results

·	New litigation or changes in existing litigation

·	Regulatory actions

Government Regulation

Future governmental regulation and legislation could limit growth. We and our subsidiaries are subject to extensive state and federal regulation, supervision, and legislation that govern nearly every aspect of our operations. Changes to these laws could affect our ability to deliver or expand our services and diminish the value of our business.

Interest Rate Risk

Changes in interest rates could reduce income and cash flow. Our income and cash flow depend primarily on the difference between the interest earned on loans and investment securities, and the interest paid on deposits and other borrowings. Interest rates are beyond our control, and they fluctuate in response to general economic conditions and the policies of various governmental and regulatory agencies, in particular, the Federal Reserve Board. Changes in monetary policy, including changes in interest rates, will influence loan originations, purchases of investments, volumes of deposits, and rates received on loans and investment securities and paid on deposits. Our results of operations may be adversely affected by increases or decreases in interest rates or by the shape of the yield curve.

Credit Risk

We take credit risk by virtue of making loans, purchasing non-governmental securities, extending loan commitments and letters of credit, and being counterparties to off-balance sheet financial instruments such as interest rate derivatives. We manage the credit risk through a program of consistent underwriting standards, the review of certain credit decisions, and an on-going process of assessment of the quality of the credit already extended. Our credit administration function uses risk management techniques to ensure that loans adhere to corporate policy and problem loans are promptly identified. These procedures provide us with the information necessary to implement policy adjustments where necessary, and to take proactive corrective actions.

Competition

We face aggressive competition not only from banks, but also from other financial institutions, including finance companies and credit unions, and, to a limited degree, from other providers of financial services, such as money market mutual funds, brokerage firms, and consumer finance companies. A number of competitors in our market areas are larger than we are and have substantially greater access to capital and other resources, as well as larger lending limits and branch systems, and offer a wider array of banking services. Many of our non-bank competitors are not subject to the same extensive regulations that govern us. As a result, these non-bank competitors have advantages over us in providing certain services. Our profitability depends upon our ability to attract loans and deposits. There is a risk that aggressive competition could result in our controlling a smaller share of our markets. A decline in market share could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

Growth and Capital

We may not be able to maintain and manage our growth, which may adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. We have had significant growth during the past five years, and we plan to continue to grow and expand. Our ability to continue to grow depends on our ability to open new branch offices, attract deposits to those locations, and identify loan and investment opportunities. Our ability to manage growth successfully also will depend on whether we can maintain capital levels adequate to support our growth and maintain cost controls and asset quality. It is possible that we may need to raise additional capital to support future growth. We cannot make any assurance that additional capital would be available on terms satisfactory to us at all. This could force us to limit our growth strategy. If we are unable to sustain our growth, our earnings could be adversely affected. If we grow too quickly, however, and are not able to control costs and maintain asset quality, rapid growth also could adversely affect our financial performance.

Key Personnel

Our success is dependent upon the continued service and skills of our executive officers and senior management. If we lose the services of these key personnel, it could have a negative impact on our business because of their skills, years of industry experience and the difficulty of promptly finding qualified replacement personnel.

Other

Additional factors could have a negative effect on our financial performance and the value of our common stock. Some of these factors are general economic and financial market conditions, continuing consolidation in the financial services industry, new litigation or changes in existing litigation, regulatory actions, and losses.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

This annual report contains comments or information that constitute forward looking statements (within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Act of 1995) that are based on current expectations that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Words such as “expects”, “anticipates”, “believes”, “estimates” and other similar expressions or future or conditional verbs such as “will”, “should”, “would” and “could” are intended to identify such forward-looking statements.

Although we believe the expectations reflected in such forward looking statements are reasonable, actual results may differ materially. Factors that might cause such a difference include changes in interest rates and interest rate relationships; demand for products and services; the degree of competition by traditional and non-traditional competitors; changes in banking laws and regulations; changes in tax laws; the impact of technological advances; the outcomes of contingencies; trends in customer behavior as well as their ability to repay loans; and changes in the national and local economy.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

We are a $1.4 billion community-based financial services company providing a full range of banking and other financial services to individuals and businesses through our two operating segments: community banking and insurance. Our community bank, Summit Community Bank, has a total of 15 banking offices located in West Virginia and Virginia. In addition, we also operate an insurance agency, Summit Insurance Services, LLC with an office in Moorefield, West Virginia which offers both commercial and personal lines of insurance. During 2007, we acquired the Kelly Agencies, two Leesburg, Virginia insurance agencies primarily specializing in group health, life and disability benefit plans and merged them into Summit Insurance Services, LLC. Although our business operates as two separate segments, the insurance segment is not a reportable segment as it is immaterial, and thus our financial information is presented on an aggregated basis. Summit Financial Group, Inc. employs approximately 250 full time equivalent employees.

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.

Key Items in 2007

·	We achieved record earnings from continuing operations in 2007. Income from continuing operations totaled $13,537,000, or $1.85 per diluted share, an increase of 20.1%.

·	We settled the pending litigation related to our previous mortgage banking segment, which resulted in an after-tax charge included in discontinued operations of $5.8 million. This allows us to now fully focus on our core banking business.

·	We completed the acquisition of the Kelly Agencies, two Leesburg, Virginia based insurance agencies, specializing primarily in group health, life, and disability benefit plans.

·	We entered into an agreement during 2007 to acquire Greater Atlantic Financial Corp., a $236 million thrift headquartered in Reston, Virginia. We plan to close the transaction at the end of first quarter 2008.

·	Our net interest margin continued to experience pressure, dropping to 3.26% for 2007, compared to 3.38% for 2006. Despite an overall decline in market rates, competitive forces have caused deposit rates to be less sensitive to reductions in market rates.

·	Credit quality has declined as our nonperforming assets have increased from $5 million at December 31, 2006 to $12 million at December 31, 2007.

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 accompanying consolidated financial statements. 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 2 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements 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 this financial review.

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 of 2007, we completed the required annual impairment test and determined that no impairment write-offs were necessary. We can not assure you that future goodwill impairment tests will not result in a charge to earnings.

See Notes 1 and 10 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements for further discussion of our intangible assets, which include goodwill.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Earnings Summary

Income from continuing operations for the three years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, was $13,537,000, $11,060,000, and $8,164,000, respectively. On a per share basis, diluted income from continuing operations was $1.85 in 2007, compared to $1.54 in 2006 and $1.13 in 2005. Consolidated net income, which includes the results of discontinued operations, for the three years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 was $6,456,000, $8,257,000, and $10,687,000, respectively. On a per share basis, diluted net income was $0.88 in 2007, compared to $1.15 in 2006 and $1.48 in 2005. Consolidated return on average equity was 7.34% in 2007 compared to 10.44% in 2006 and 15.09% in 2005. Consolidated return on average assets for the year ended December 31, 2007 was 0.50% compared to 0.70% in 2006 and 1.10% in 2005. Included in 2005’s income from continuing operations is an other-than-temporary non-cash impairment charge of $1.5 million pre-tax, equivalent to $940,000 after-tax, related to $5.7 million of certain preferred stock issuances of the Federal National Mortgage Association and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation. A summary of the significant factors influencing our results of operations and related ratios is included in the following discussion.

Table of Contents

Net Interest Income

The major component of our net earnings is net interest income, which is the excess of interest earned on earning assets over the interest expense incurred on interest bearing sources of funds. Net interest income is affected by changes in volume, resulting from growth and alterations of the balance sheet's composition, fluctuations in interest rates and maturities of sources and uses of funds. We seek to maximize net interest income through management of our balance sheet components. This is accomplished by determining the optimal product mix with respect to yields on assets and costs of funds in light of projected economic conditions, while maintaining portfolio risk at an acceptable level.

Consolidated net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis, consolidated average balance sheet amounts, and corresponding average yields on interest earning assets and costs of interest bearing liabilities for the years 2007, 2006 and 2005 are presented in Table I. Table II presents, for the periods indicated, the changes in consolidated interest income and expense attributable to (a) changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior period rate) and (b) changes in rate (change in rate multiplied by prior period volume). Changes in interest income and expense attributable to both rate and volume have been allocated between the factors in proportion to the relationship of the absolute dollar amounts of the change in each. Tables I and II are presented on a consolidated basis. The results would not vary significantly if presented on a continuing operations basis.

Consolidated net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis, totaled $40,495,000, $37,870,000, and $32,080,000 for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively, representing a 6.9% increase in 2007 and 18.0% in 2006. These increases in net interest income are the result of substantial loan growth in the commercial real estate and residential mortgage portfolios in all three years, which more than offset the impact of higher funding costs. Total average earning assets increased 10.7% to $1,240,647,000 at December 31, 2007 from $1,121,089,000 at December 31, 2006. Total average interest bearing liabilities increased 10.8% to $1,135,031,000 at December 31, 2007, compared to $1,024,031,000 at December 31, 2006. As identified in Table II, consolidated tax equivalent net interest income grew $2,625,000 and $5,790,000 during 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Our consolidated net interest margin was 3.26% for 2007 compared to 3.38% and 3.51% for 2006 and 2005, respectively. Our consolidated net interest margin decreased 12 basis points in 2007, driven by a 28 basis point increase in the cost of interest bearing funds while the increase on the yields on interest earning assets was only 14 basis points. Our margin continues to be affected by our rapid loan growth in an extremely competitive environment. Despite an overall decline in market rates, competitive forces have caused deposit rates to be less sensitive to reductions in market rates. Unlike in prior years, in many cases, the marginal cost of raising retail time deposits was higher at some points during 2007 than wholesale time deposits. If loan growth continues at levels similar to 2007, this could cause continued margin contraction. Our consolidated net interest margin decreased 13 basis points in 2006, despite an increase of 94 basis points on the yields on interest earning assets, which was more than offset by the 113 basis point increase in the cost of interest bearing liabilities. See Tables I and II for further details regarding changes in volumes and rates of average assets and liabilities and how those changes affect our consolidated net interest income.

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 downward pressure on our net interest margin. We continue to monitor the net interest margin through net interest income simulation to minimize the potential for any significant negative impact. See the Market Risk Management section of Item 7A for further discussion of the impact changes in market interest rates could have on us.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income from continuing operations totaled 0.57%, 0.31%, and 0.17% of average assets in 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively. Noninterest income from continuing operations totaled $7,357,000 in 2007, compared to $3,633,000 in 2006 and $1,605,000 in 2005, with service fees from deposit accounts and insurance commissions being the primary components. Further detail regarding noninterest income from continuing operations is reflected in the following table.

Insurance commissions: These commissions increased over 200% in 2007 due to our acquisition of the Kelly Agencies, two insurance agencies specializing in group health, life and disability benefit plans.

Service fees: Total service fees increased 8.9% in 2007 and 6.5% in 2006 primarily as a result of increases in overdraft and nonsufficient funds (NSF) fees due to an increased overdraft usage by customers and a change in our fee structure.

Securities gains/losses: During 2005, we took an other-than-temporary non-cash impairment charge of $1.5 million pre-tax, equivalent to $940,000 after-tax, related to $5.7 million of certain preferred stock issuances of the Federal National Mortgage Association and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation.

Change in fair value of derivative instruments: During 2007, the fair value of derivative financial instruments not eligible for short-cut accounting, net of cash payments received/paid, increased $1,478,000. During 2006, the fair value, net of cash payments, of these derivatives decreased $90,000. The 2007 increase is attributable to the expectation of falling short-term market interest rates which positively impacts the fair value of related derivative instruments.

Losses on sales of assets: Included in noninterest income are losses on sales of assets of $33,000 in 2007, $47,000 in 2006 and $198,000 in 2005. The $198,000 loss in 2005 includes the loss on the sale of one of our foreclosed properties.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense for continuing operations was well controlled in both 2007 and 2006. These expenses totaled $25,098,000 $21,609,000, and $19,264,000 or 1.9%, 1.8%, and 2.0% of average assets for each of the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Total noninterest expense for continuing operations increased $3,489,000 in 2007 compared to 2006 and $2,345,000 in 2006 compared to 2005. Table III below shows the breakdown of these increases.

Salaries and employee benefits: Salaries and employee benefits expense increased 23.6% in 2007 primarily due to increased staffing as a result of the acquisition of the Kelly Agencies. These expenses increased 9.4% in 2006 primarily due to general merit raises, and additional staffing requirement needed as a result of our growth, including opening a new community banking office in Martinsburg, West Virginia.

Net occupancy and Equipment expense: The increases in net occupancy and equipment expense for 2007 and 2006 are attributed to increased facility costs as a result of acquiring the Kelly Agencies in 2007 and opening a new branch in 2006.

Other: Other expenses increased $434,000 or 10.3% during 2007. The two largest contributors to this increase were FDIC assessment, which totaled $290,000 in 2007 compared to $88,000 in 2006 due to an increase in assessment rates by the FDIC and ATM/debit card expense, which totaled $513,000 in 2007 compared to $387,000 in 2006 due to increased card usage by customers.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense for continuing operations for the three years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 totaled $5,734,000, $5,018,000, and $3,033,000, respectively. Refer to Note 13 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements for further information and additional discussion of the significant components influencing our effective income tax rates.

CHANGES IN FINANCIAL POSITION

Total average assets in 2007 were $1,299,042,000, an increase of 10.3% over 2006's average of $1,177,575,000. Average assets grew 21.5% in 2006, from $968,968,000 in 2005. This growth principally occurred in our loan portfolio in both years. Significant changes in the components of our balance sheet in 2007 and 2006 are discussed below.

Loan Portfolio

Total net loans averaged $972,386,000 in 2007 and comprised 74.9% of total average assets compared to $880,445,000 or 74.8% of total average assets during 2006. The increase in the dollar volume of loans is primarily attributable to our continued growth mode. We continue to aggressively seek loans in the Virginia markets, primarily in the Shenandoah Valley of northern Virginia, as this area is currently a vibrant market for commercial loans, especially commercial real estate loans.

Refer to Note 6 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements for our loan maturities and a discussion of our adjustable rate loans as of December 31, 2007.

In the normal course of business, we make various commitments and incur certain contingent liabilities, which are disclosed in Note 15 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements but not reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. There have been no significant changes in these types of commitments and contingent liabilities and we do not anticipate any material losses as a result of these commitments.

Securities

Securities comprised approximately 20.9% of total assets at December 31, 2007 compared to 20.1% at December 31, 2006. Average securities approximated $267,250,000 for 2007 or 11.6% more than 2006's average of $239,428,000. Refer to Note 5 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements for details of amortized cost, the estimated fair values, unrealized gains and losses as well as the security classifications by type.

Table of Contents

All of our securities are classified as available for sale to provide us with flexibility to better manage our balance sheet structure and react to asset/liability management issues as they arise. Pursuant to SFAS No. 115, anytime that we carry a security with an unrealized loss that has been determined to be “other than temporary”, we must recognize that loss in income. During 2005, we took an other-than-temporary non-cash impairment charge of $1.5 million pre-tax, equivalent to $940,000 after-tax, related to $5.7 million of certain preferred stock issuances of the Federal National Mortgage Association and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation. We continue to own these securities, and this charge was taken primarily due to difficulty in accurately projecting the future recovery period of these securities. At December 31, 2007, we did not own securities of any one issuer that were not issued by the U.S. Treasury or a U.S. Government agency that exceeded ten percent of shareholders’ equity. The maturity distribution of the securities portfolio at December 31, 2007, together with the weighted average yields for each range of maturity, is summarized in Table V. The stated average yields are actual yields and are not stated on a tax equivalent basis.

Deposits

Total deposits at December 31, 2007 decreased $60,000,000 or 6.8% compared to December 31, 2006. Average interest bearing deposits increased $76,819,000, or 10.7% during 2007. We have strengthened our focus on growing retail deposits, which is reflected by their steady growth over the past two years, increasing 7.1% in 2007 and 11.7% in 2006. Wholesale deposits, which represent brokered certificates of deposit acquired through a third party, decreased 36.9% to $176,391,000 at December 31, 2007. These deposits totaled $279,623,000 at December 31, 2006, an increase of 117.3% over 2005. Our decreased utilization of brokered deposits during 2007 was due to favorable pricing of other alternative wholesale funding sources, including wholesale reverse repurchase agreements. During 2006, the pricing of brokered certificates of deposits was more favorable when compared to other wholesale funding sources, and were used to pay off short term Federal Home Loan Bank advances.

Borrowings

Lines of Credit: We have available lines of credit from various correspondent banks totaling $18,183,000 at December 31, 2007. These lines are utilized when temporary day to day funding needs arise. They are reflected on the consolidated balance sheet as short-term borrowings. We also have remaining available lines of credit from the Federal Home Loan Bank totaling $230,225,000 at December 31, 2007. We use these lines primarily to fund loans to customers. Funds acquired through this program are reflected on the consolidated balance sheet in short-term borrowings or long-term borrowings, depending on the repayment terms of the debt agreement. We also had $23 million available on a short term line of credit with the Federal Reserve Bank at December 31, 2007, which is primarily secured by consumer loans, and certain construction loans. In addition, Summit Financial Group, Inc. has a long-term line of credit available through an unaffiliated banking institution which is secured by the common stock of our subsidiary bank. At December 31, 2007, we had $4,250,000 available to draw on this line.

Short-term Borrowings: Total short-term borrowings increased $111,627,000 from $60,428,000 at December 31, 2006 to $172,055,000 at December 31, 2006. These borrowings principally replaced brokered certificates of deposits. See Note 12 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional disclosures regarding our short-term borrowings.

Long-term Borrowings: Total long-term borrowings of $315,738,000 at December 31, 2007, consisted primarily of funds borrowed on available lines of credit from the Federal Home Loan Bank and structured reverse repurchase agreements with two unaffiliated institutions. Borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank increased $29,628,000 to $205,738,000 compared to the $176,110,000 outstanding at December 31, 2006. During 2007, we entered into $110,000,000 of structured reverse repurchase agreements which have embedded interest rate caps, with terms ranging from 4 to 6 years and call features ranging from 2 to 3 years in which they are callable by the purchaser. Long term borrowings were principally used to fund our loan growth. Refer to Note 12 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding our long-term borrowings.

During 2007, certain of our customers began experiencing difficulty making timely payments on their loans. Due to current declining economic conditions, borrowers have in many cases been unable to refinance their loans due to a range of factors including declining property values. As a result, we have experienced higher delinquencies and nonperforming assets, particularly in our residential real estate loan portfolios and in commercial construction loans to residential real estate developers. It is not known when the housing market will stabilize. Management expects that recent increasing trends in delinquencies and nonperforming assets will persist.

Commercial nonperforming: At December 31, 2007, eighty-four percent of the balance of commercial nonperforming loans at is attributable to one loan secured by heavy equipment.

Commercial real estate nonperforming: Two properties comprise 68% of the balance of nonperforming commercial real estate loans at December 31, 2007. One credit with a balance of $1.9 million is secured by a commercial office building located in Charleston, West Virginia; another relationship totalling $1.4 million is secured by a motel and service station in West Virginia’s eastern panhandle.

Land development and construction nonperforming: All of the land development and construction nonperforming assets are related to residential development projects. 90 percent of these nonperforming loans is comprised of two credits. One loan had a balance of $1.1 million for construction of an apartment complex, which the borrower has subsequently sold the property and paid off the loan. Another loan with a balance of $0.7 million is secured by a residential development subdivision in Hardy County, West Virginia.

Residential real estate nonperforming: Nonperforming residential real estate loans increased significantly during 2007 as many borrowers have been unable to make their payments due to a range of factors stemming from current declining economic conditions.

All nonperforming loans are individually reviewed and adequate reserves are in place. The majority of nonperforming loans are secured by real property with values supported by appraisals. The increase in 2006 was primarily attributable to the loans of a single customer relationship, which still remains nonperforming at December 31, 2007. We are well collateralized with regard to this credit, and adequate reserves have been made. Refer to Note 7 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements for a discussion of impaired loans which are included in the above balances.

As a result of our internal loan review process, the ratio of internally classified loans to total loans increased from 4.12% at December 31, 2006 to 6.20% at December 31, 2007. Our internal loan review process includes a watch list of loans that have been specifically identified through the use of various sources, including past due loan reports, previous internal and external loan evaluations, classified loans identified as part of regulatory agency loan reviews and reviews of new loans representative of current lending practices. Once this watch list is reviewed to ensure it is complete, we review the specific loans for collectibility, performance and collateral protection. In addition, a grade is assigned to the individual loans utilizing internal grading criteria, which is somewhat similar to the criteria utilized by our subsidiary bank's primary regulatory agency. The increase in internally classified loans at December 31, 2007 is primarily due to three customer relationships. Management downgraded these three relationships, as they fell outside of our internal lending policy guidelines.

Included in the net balance of loans are nonaccrual loans amounting to $2,917,000 and $638,000 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. If these loans had been on accrual status throughout 2007, the amount of interest income that we would have recognized would have been $254,000. The actual amount of interest income recognized in 2007 on these loans was $90,000.

Table of Contents

We maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level considered adequate to provide for losses that can be reasonably anticipated. We conduct quarterly evaluations of our loan portfolio to determine its adequacy. In assessing the adequacy of our allowance for loan losses, we conduct a two part evaluation. First, we specifically identify loans that have weaknesses that have been identified, using the fair value of collateral method. Second, we stratify the loan portfolio into 6 homogeneous loan pools, including commercial real estate, other commercial, residential real estate, autos, and others. Historical loss rates, as adjusted, are applied against the then outstanding balance of loans in each classification to estimate probable losses inherent in each segment of the portfolio. Historical loss rates are adjusted using potential risk factors that could result in actual losses deviating from prior loss experience. Such risk factors considered are (1) levels of and trends in delinquencies and impaired loans, (2) levels of and trends in charge-offs and recoveries, (3) trends in volume and term of loans, (4) effects of any changes in risk selection and underwriting standards, and other changes in lending policies, procedures, and practice, (5) experience, ability, and depth of lending management and other relevant staff, (6) national and local economic trends and conditions, (7) industry conditions, and (8) effects of changes in credit concentrations. In addition, we conduct comprehensive, ongoing reviews of our loan portfolio, which encompasses the identification of all potential problem credits to be included on an internally generated watch list.

The identification of loans for inclusion on the watch list of loans that have been specifically identified is facilitated through the use of various sources, including past due loan reports, previous internal and external loan evaluations, classified loans identified as part of regulatory agency loan reviews and reviews of new loans representative of current lending practices. Once this list is reviewed to ensure it is complete, we review the specific loans for collectibility, performance and collateral protection. In addition, a grade is assigned to the individual loans utilizing internal grading criteria, which is somewhat similar to the criteria utilized by our subsidiary bank's primary regulatory agency. Based on the results of these reviews, specific reserves for potential losses are identified and the allowance for loan losses is adjusted appropriately through a provision for loan losses.

While there may be some loans or portions of loans identified as potential problem credits which are not specifically identified as either nonaccrual or accruing loans past due 90 or more days, we consider them to be insignificant to the overall disclosure and are, therefore, not specifically quantified within this discussion. In addition, we feel these additional loans do not represent or result from trends or uncertainties which we reasonably expect will materially impact future operating results, liquidity or capital resources. Also, these loans do not represent material credits about which we are aware of any information which would cause the borrowers to not comply with the loan repayment terms.

The allocated portion of the allowance for loan losses is established on a loan-by-loan and pool-by-pool basis. The unallocated portion is for inherent losses that probably exist as of the evaluation date, but which have not been specifically identified by the processes used to establish the allocated portion due to inherent imprecision in the objective processes we utilize to identify probable and estimable losses. This unallocated portion is subjective and requires judgment based on various qualitative factors in the loan portfolio and the market in which we operate. The entire allowance for loan losses was allocated at December 31, 2007. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, the unallocated portion of the allowance approximated $120,000 and $4,000, or 1.6% and 0.1% of the total allowance. This unallocated portion of the allowance is considered necessary based on consideration of the known risk elements in certain pools of loans in the loan portfolio and our assessment of the economic environment in which we operate. More specifically, while loan quality remains good, the subsidiary bank has typically experienced greater losses within certain homogeneous loan pools when our market area has experienced economic downturns or other significant negative factors or trends, such as increases in bankruptcies, unemployment rates or past due loans.

At December 31, 2007 and 2006, our allowance for loan losses totaled $9,192,000, or 0.86% of total loans and $7,511,000, or 0.81% of total loans, respectively, and is considered adequate to cover inherent losses in our loan portfolio. Table VII presents an allocation of the allowance for loan losses by loan type at each respective year end date, as follows:

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Bank 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 (net of float and reserves), Federal funds sold, non-pledged securities, and available lines of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank, which totaled approximately $180,910,000 or 12.6% of total consolidated assets at December 31, 2007.

Our liquidity strategy is to fund loan growth with deposits and other borrowed funds while maintaining an adequate level of short- and medium-term investments to meet normal daily loan and deposit activity. Core deposits increased $43 million in 2007, while loans increased approximately $138 million. This caused us to rely on other wholesale funding vehicles, which included $110 million of long term structured reverse repurchase agreements. We used the funds to pay off brokered deposits and to fund growth. As a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh, we have access to approximately $584 million. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, these advances totaled approximately $354 million and $226 million, respectively. At December 31, 2007, we had additional borrowing capacity of $230 million through FHLB programs. We also have the ability to borrow money on a daily basis through correspondent banks using established federal funds purchased lines. These available lines totaled $18 million at December 31, 2007. During 2006, we established a line with the Federal Reserve Bank to be used as a contingency liquidity vehicle. The amount available on this line at December 31, 2007 was approximately $23 million. Also, we classify all of our securities as available for sale to enable us to liquidate them if the need arises.

We continuously monitor our liquidity position 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.

Growth and Expansion: During 2007, we continued our strategy to enter into business opportunities which earn noninterest income. Accordingly, we acquired the Kelly Agencies, two Leesburg, Virginia based insurance agencies, specializing primarily in group health, life and disability benefit plans.

We also continued our community bank branching strategy by entering into an agreement to purchase Greater Atlantic Financial Corp. (“Greater Atlantic”), a $236 million thrift headquartered in Reston, Virginia. The transaction is expected to close during first quarter 2008. After completing the acquisition, we will have 20 total banking offices and plan to continue to expand in Virginia and the Eastern panhandle of West Virginia. Our branching strategy is subject to availability of suitable sites, hiring qualified personnel, obtaining regulatory approval, having adequate capital, and other conditions and contingencies.

During 2007, we spent approximately $1.2 million on capital expenditures for premises and equipment. We expect our capital expenditures to approximate $1.5 million in 2008, primarily for building construction, furniture and equipment related to office openings. Actual expenditures may vary significantly from those expected, primarily depending on the number and cost of additional branch openings.

Capital Compliance: Our capital position has tightened as a result of our continued growth and the payment of the litigation settlement during fourth quarter discussed below. Stated as a percentage of total assets, our equity ratio was 6.2% and 6.4% at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Our risk weighted Tier 1 capital, total capital and leverage capital ratios approximated 9.2%, 10.0%, and 7.3%, respectively, at December 31, 2007, all of which are equal to or in excess of the minimum guidelines to be “well capitalized” under the regulatory prompt corrective action provisions. Our subsidiary bank is also subject to minimum capital ratios as further discussed in Note 16 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements

We intend to issue $10 million of subordinated debt in conjunction with the acquisition of Greater Atlantic which qualifies as Tier 2 capital. This debt will have an interest rate of 3 month LIBOR plus 275 basis points and will have a term of 7.5 years. We expect to remain well capitalized following the acquisition.

Stock Repurchases: In August 2006, our Board of Directors authorized the open market repurchase of up to 225,000 shares (approximately 3%) of the issued and outstanding shares of our stock. During 2007, we repurchased 5,725 shares under this plan.

Trust Preferred Securities: At December 31, 2007, we had three outstanding issues of trust preferred securities totaling $19,589,000. Under Federal Reserve Board guidelines, we had the ability to issue an additional $6.9 million of trust preferred securities as of December 31, 2007 that would qualify as Tier 1 regulatory capital to support our future growth. Trust preferred securities issuances in excess of this limit generally may be included in Tier 2 capital.

Table of Contents

Dividends: Cash dividends per share rose 6.3% to $0.34 in 2007 compared to $0.32 in 2006, representing dividend payout ratios of 38.1% and 27.6% for 2007 and 2006, respectively. It is our intention to continue to pay dividends on a similar schedule during 2007. Future cash dividends will depend on the earnings and financial condition of our subsidiary bank as well as general economic conditions.

The primary source of funds for the dividends paid to our shareholders is dividends received from our subsidiary banks. Dividends paid by our subsidiary banks are subject to restrictions by banking regulations. The most restrictive provision requires approval by the respective bank’s regulatory agency if dividends declared in any year exceed the bank’s current year's net income, as defined, plus its retained net profits of the two preceding years. During 2008, the net retained profits available for distribution to Summit as dividends without regulatory approval are approximately $11,985,000, plus net income for the interim periods through the date of declaration.

Legal Contingencies: 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. Refer to Note 15 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements for a discussion of our current litigation.

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 (“Corinthian“) and the alleged use of its proprietary information. The individual defendants have also been sued based on allegations arising out of their former employment relationship with Corinthian and their employment with Summit Financial, LLC. Late in 2006, we announced we would close our mortgage operations which at the time operated as Summit Mortgage, a division of Shenandoah Valley National Bank.

On December 5, 2007, we agreed to settle this litigation and ultimately elected to pay Corinthian and other related interests the total sum of $10.5 million. $1.25 million of this total amount was paid by our insurance carrier. As a result of the settlement, we recognized a one-time after-tax charge in the fourth quarter of 2007 of $5.8 million ($9.25 million pre- tax), which is included in discontinued operations.

The settlement ends all current litigation between Summit, its wholly owned subsidiary, Summit Community Bank, Inc. the individual defendants who were former employees of Summit named in the Litigation, and the plaintiff Corinthian Mortgage Corporation.

Contractual Cash Obligations: During our normal course of business, we incur contractual cash obligations. The following table summarizes our contractual cash obligations at December 31, 2007. The operating lease obligations include leases for both continuing and discontinued operations, as we remain obligated to pay the leases of two properties that were used by Summit Mortgage.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

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 embedded 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”). The ALCO 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. At December 31, 2007, our interest rate risk position was relatively neutral in the short term (zero to twelve months) and moderately liability sensitive in the intermediate term (thirteen to twenty-four months). That is, in the short term absent any changes in the volumes of our interest earning assets or interest bearing liabilities, assets are likely to reprice ratably as liabilities reprice, resulting in no significant changes in net interest income in a rising or falling rate environment. Over the intermediate term, liabilities are likely to reprice faster than assets, resulting in a decrease in net interest income in a rising rate environment, while a falling interest rate environment would produce an increase in net interest income. Net interest income is also subject to changes in the shape of the yield curve. In general, a flat yield curve results 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 rates is assumed to gradually take place over a 12 month period, 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.

The following table presents the estimated sensitivity of our net interest income to changes in interest rates, as measured by our earnings simulation model as of December 31, 2007. The sensitivity is measured as a percentage change in net interest income given the stated changes in interest rates (gradual change over 12 months, stable thereafter) compared to net interest income with rates unchanged. The estimated changes set forth below are dependent on the assumptions discussed above and are well within our ALCO policy limit, which is a 10% reduction in net interest income over the ensuing twelve month period.

Change in Interest Rates	Estimated % Change in Net Interest Income Over:
Basis points	0 - 12 Months			13 - 24 Months
Down 200 (1)		0.71	%		4.47	%
Down 200, steepening yield curve (2)		2.24	%		9.26	%
Up 100 (1)		0.12	%		2.67	%
Up 200 (1)		0.04	%		0.18	%

(1) assumes a parallel shift in the yield curve
(2) assumes steepening curve whereby short term rates decline by 200 basis points while long term
rates decline by 50 basis points

REPORT OF MANAGEMENT’S ASSESSMENT OF INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

Summit Financial Group, Inc. is responsible for the preparation, integrity, and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements included in this annual report. The consolidated financial statements and notes included in this annual report have been prepared in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles and necessarily include some amounts that are based on management’s best estimates and judgments.

We, as management of Summit Financial Group, Inc., are responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting that is designed to produce reliable financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles. The system of internal control over financial reporting as it relates to the financial statements is evaluated for effectiveness by management and tested for reliability through a program of internal audits. Actions are taken to correct potential deficiencies as they are identified. Any system of internal control, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations, including the possibility that a control can be circumvented or overridden and misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, because of changes in conditions, internal control effectiveness may vary over time. Accordingly, even an effective system of internal control will provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation.

The Audit Committee, consisting entirely of independent directors, meets regularly with management, internal auditors and the independent registered public accounting firm, and reviews audit plans and results, as well as management’s actions taken in discharging responsibilities for accounting, financial reporting, and internal control. Arnett & Foster, P.L.L.C., independent registered public accounting firm, and the internal auditors have direct and confidential access to the Audit Committee at all times to discuss the results of their examinations.

Management assessed the Corporation’s system of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007. In making this assessment, we used the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting set forth in Internal Control-Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on this assessment, management concludes that, as of December 31, 2007, its system of internal control over financial reporting is effective and meets the criteria of the Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Arnett & Foster, P.L.L.C., independent registered public accounting firm, has issued an attestation report on management’s assessment of the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM ON EFFECTIVENESS OF INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

To the Board of Directors

Summit Financial Group, Inc.

Moorefield, West Virginia

We have audited Summit Financial Group, Inc. and subsidiaries' internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Summit Financial Group, Inc.’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Assessment of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit 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 effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, Summit Financial Group, Inc. and subsidiaries maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated financial statements of Summit Financial Group, Inc. and subsidiaries and our report dated March 17, 2008 expressed an unqualified opinion.

NOTE 1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of business: We are a financial holding company headquartered in Moorefield, West Virginia. Our primary business is retail banking. Our community bank subsidiary, Summit Community Bank (“Summit Community”) provides commercial and retail banking services primarily in the Eastern Panhandle and South Central regions of West Virginia and the Northern region of Virginia. We also operate Summit Insurance Services, LLC.

Basis of financial statement presentation: Our accounting and reporting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and to general practices within the banking industry.

Use of estimates: We must make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in preparing our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Principles of consolidation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Summit and its subsidiaries. All significant accounts and transactions among these entities have been eliminated.

Presentation of cash flows: For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and due from banks includes cash on hand and amounts due from banks (including cash items in process of clearing). Cash flows from federal funds sold, demand deposits, NOW accounts, savings accounts and short-term borrowings are reported on a net basis, since their original maturities are less than three months. Cash flows from loans and certificates of deposit and other time deposits are reported net. The statements of cash flows are presented on a consolidated basis, including both continuing and discontinued operations.

Securities: We classify debt and equity securities as “held to maturity”, “available for sale” or “trading” according to management’s intent. The appropriate classification is determined at the time of purchase of each security and re-evaluated at each reporting date.

Securities held to maturity – Certain debt securities for which we have the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are reported at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. There are no securities classified as held to maturity in the accompanying financial statements.

Securities available for sale - Securities not classified as "held to maturity" or as "trading" are classified as "available for sale." Securities classified as "available for sale" are those securities that we intend to hold for an indefinite period of time, but not necessarily to maturity. "Available for sale" securities are reported at estimated fair value net of unrealized gains or losses, which are adjusted for applicable income taxes, and reported as a separate component of shareholders' equity.

Trading securities - There are no securities classified as "trading" in the accompanying financial statements.

We review our securities portfolio quarterly for possible other-than-temporary impairment. This determination requires significant judgment. In making this judgment, Management evaluates the facts and circumstances of each individual investment such as the severity of loss, the length of time the fair value has been below cost, the expectation for that security’s performance, the creditworthiness of the issuer and our intent and ability to hold the security. A decline in value that is considered to be other-than-temporary is recorded as a loss within noninterest income in the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Realized gains and losses on sales of securities are recognized on the specific identification method. Amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts are computed using the interest method.

Loans and allowance for loan losses: Loans are generally stated at the amount of unpaid principal, reduced by unearned discount and allowance for loan losses.

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level considered adequate to provide for losses that can be reasonably anticipated. The allowance is increased by provisions charged to operating expense and reduced by net charge-offs. We make continuous credit reviews of the loan portfolio and consider current economic conditions, historical loan loss experience, review of specific problem loans and other potential risk factors in determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. Loans are charged against the allowance for

loan losses when we believe that collectibility is unlikely. While we use the best information available to make our evaluation, future adjustments may be necessary if there are significant changes in conditions.

Table of Contents

A loan is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due in accordance with the contractual terms of the specific loan agreement. Impaired loans, other than certain large groups of smaller-balance

homogeneous loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment, are required to be reported at the present value of expected future cash flows discounted using the loan's original effective interest rate or, alternatively, at the loan's observable market price, or at the fair

value of the loan's collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. The method selected to measure impairment is made on a loan-by-loan basis, unless foreclosure is deemed to be probable, in which case the fair value of the collateral method is used.

Generally, after our evaluation, loans are placed on nonaccrual status when principal or interest is greater than 90 days past due based upon the loan's contractual terms. Interest is accrued daily on impaired loans unless the loan is placed on nonaccrual status. Impaired loans are placed on nonaccrual status when the payments of principal and interest are in default for a period of 90 days, unless the loan is both well-secured and in the process of collection. Interest on nonaccrual loans is recognized primarily using the cost-recovery method.

Interest on loans is accrued daily on the outstanding balances.

Loan origination fees and certain direct loan origination costs are deferred and amortized as adjustments of the related loan yield over its contractual life.

Property held for sale: Property held for sale consists of premises qualifying as held for sale under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets, and of real estate acquired through foreclosure on loans secured by such real estate. Qualifying premises are transferred to property held for sale at the lower of carrying value or estimated fair value less anticipated selling costs. Foreclosed property is recorded at the estimated fair value less anticipated selling costs based upon the property’s appraised value at the date of foreclosure, with any difference between the fair value of foreclosed property and the carrying value of the related loan charged to the allowance for loan losses. We perform periodic valuations of property held for sale subsequent to transfer. Gains or losses not previously recognized resulting from the sale of property held for sale is recognized on the date of sale. Changes in value subsequent to transfer are recorded in noninterest income. Depreciation is not recorded on property held for sale. Expenses incurred in connection with operating foreclosed properties are charged to noninterest expense.

Premises and equipment: Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed primarily by the straight-line method for premises and equipment over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives employed are on average 30 years for premises and 3 to 10 years for furniture and equipment. Repairs and maintenance expenditures are charged to operating expenses as incurred. Major improvements and additions to premises and equipment, including construction period interest costs, are capitalized. No interest was capitalized during 2007, 2006, or 2005.

Intangible assets: Goodwill and certain other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized into net income over an estimated life, but rather are tested at least annually for impairment. Intangible assets determined to have definite useful lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives and also are subject to impairment testing.

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase: We generally account for securities sold under agreements to repurchase as collateralized financing transactions and record them at the amounts at which the securities were sold, plus accrued interest. Securities, generally U.S. government and Federal agency securities, pledged as collateral under these financing arrangements cannot be sold or repledged by the secured party. The fair value of collateral provided is continually monitored and additional collateral is provided as needed.

Advertising: All advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense for continuing operations for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005 totaled $271,000, $284,000, and $411,000 respectively.

Guarantees: In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 45 (FIN 45), Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others. This interpretation expands the disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its financial statements about its obligations under certain guarantees and requires the guarantor to recognize a

liability for the fair value of an obligation assumed under a guarantee. FIN 45 clarifies the requirements of SFAS 5, Accounting for Contingencies, relating to guarantees. In general, FIN 45 applies to contracts or indemnification agreements that contingently require the guarantor to make payments to the guaranteed party based on changes in an underlying that is related to an asset, liability, or equity security of the guaranteed party. Certain guarantee contracts are excluded from both the disclosure and recognition requirements of this interpretation, including, among others, guarantees relating to employee compensation, residual value guarantees under capital lease arrangements, commercial letters of credit, loan commitments, subordinated interests in an SPE, and guarantees of a company’s own future performance. Other guarantees are subject to the disclosure requirements of FIN 45 but not to the recognition provisions and include, among others, a guarantee accounted for as a derivative instrument under SFAS 133, a parent’s guarantee of debt owed to a third party by its subsidiary or vice versa, and a guarantee which is based on performance, not price.

Table of Contents

Income taxes: The consolidated provision for income taxes includes Federal and state income taxes and is based on pretax net income reported in the consolidated financial statements, adjusted for transactions that may never enter into the computation of income taxes payable. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. Valuation allowances are established when deemed necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

Stock-based compensation: In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, we recognize compensation expense based on the estimated number of stock awards expected to actually vest, exclusive of the awards expected to be forfeited.

Basic and diluted earnings per share: Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding increased by the number of shares of common stock which would be issued assuming the exercise of employee stock options and the conversion of preferred stock.

Trust services: Assets held in an agency or fiduciary capacity are not our assets and are not included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Trust services income is recognized on the cash basis in accordance with customary banking practice. Reporting such income on a cash basis rather than the accrual basis does not have a material effect on net income.

Derivative instruments and hedging activities: In accordance with SFAS 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended, all derivative instruments are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded each period in current earnings or other comprehensive income, depending on whether a derivative is designated as part of a hedge transaction and, if it is, depending on the type of hedge transaction.

Fair-value hedges – For transactions in which we are hedging changes in fair value of an asset, liability, or a firm commitment, changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument are generally offset in the income statement by changes in the hedged item’s fair value.

Cash-flow hedges – For transactions in which we are hedging the variability of cash flows related to a variable-rate asset, liability, or a forecasted transaction, changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument are reported in other comprehensive income. The gains and losses on the derivative instrument, which are reported in comprehensive income, are reclassified to earnings in the periods in which earnings are impacted by the variability of cash flows of the hedged item.

The ineffective portion of all hedges is recognized in current period earnings.

Other derivative instruments used for risk management purposes do not meet the hedge accounting criteria and, therefore, do not qualify for hedge accounting. These derivative instruments are accounted for at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in the income statement.

During 2007, 2006, and 2005, we were party to instruments that qualified for fair-value hedge accounting and other

instruments that were held for risk management purposes that did not qualify for hedge accounting.

Variable interest entities: In accordance with FIN 46-R, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, business enterprises that represent the primary beneficiary of another entity by retaining a controlling interest in that entity's assets, liabilities and results of operations must consolidate that entity in its financial statements. Prior to the issuance of FIN 46-R, consolidation generally occurred when an enterprise controlled another entity through voting interests. If applicable, transition rules allow the restatement of financial

statements or prospective application with a cumulative effect adjustment. We have determined that the provisions of FIN 46-R do not require consolidation of subsidiary trusts which issue guaranteed preferred beneficial interests in subordinated debentures (Trust Preferred Securities). The Trust Preferred Securities continue to qualify as Tier 1 capital for regulatory purposes. The banking regulatory agencies have not issued any guidance which would change the regulatory capital treatment for the Trust Preferred Securities based on the adoption of FIN 46-R. The adoption of the provisions of FIN 46-R has had no material impact on our results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity. See Note 12 of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of our subordinated debentures.

Table of Contents

Loan commitments: Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 149 (“SFAS 149”), Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities requires that commitments to make mortgage loans should be accounted for as derivatives if the loans are to be held for sale, because the commitment represents a written option and accordingly is recorded at the fair value of the option liability. The adoption of SFAS 149 did not have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position, or liquidity.

Reclassifications: Certain accounts in the consolidated financial statements for 2006 and 2005, as previously presented, have been reclassified to conform to current year classifications.

NOTE 2.

SIGNIFICANT NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes--an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48), which clarifies the accounting and disclosure for uncertain tax positions, as defined. FIN 48 requires that a tax position meet a "probable recognition threshold" for the benefit of the uncertain tax position to be recognized in the financial statements. A tax position that fails to meet the probable recognition threshold will result in either reduction of a current or deferred tax asset or receivable, or recording a current or deferred tax liability. FIN 48 also provides guidance on measurement, derecognition of tax benefits, classification, interim period accounting disclosure, and transition requirements in accounting for uncertain tax positions. Accordingly, we adopted the provisions of FIN 48 effective January 1, 2007, which had no material effect on our financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS No. 157). SFAS No. 157 replaces various definitions of fair value in existing accounting literature with a single definition, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 does not expand the use of fair value to any new circumstances. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2007, and early application is encouraged. We do not anticipate that the adoption of this statement will have a material effect on our financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 159 (SFAS No. 159), The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities-Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value at specified election dates. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The fair value option (i) is applicable on an instrument by instrument basis, with certain exceptions, (ii) is irrevocable (unless a new election date occurs), and (iii) is applied only to entire instruments and not to portions of instruments. We adopted SFAS No. 159 on January 1, 2008 and the adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on our financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 141 (revised 2007) (SFAS No. 141R), Business Combinations. SFAS No. 141R will significantly change how the acquisition method will be applied to business combinations. SFAS No. 141R requires an acquirer, upon initially obtaining control of another entity, to recognize the assets, liabilities and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at fair value as of the acquisition date. Contingent consideration is required to be recognized and measured at fair value on the date of acquisition rather than at a later date when the amount of that consideration may be determinable beyond a reasonable doubt. This fair value approach replaces the cost-allocation process required under SFAS No. 141 whereby the cost of an acquisition was allocated to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair value. SFAS No. 141R requires acquirers to expense acquisition-related costs as incurred rather than allocating such costs to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as was previously the case under SFAS No. 141. Under SFAS No. 141R, the requirements of SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities, would have to be met in order to accrue for a restructuring plan in purchase accounting. Pre-acquisition contingencies are to be recognized at fair value, unless it is a non-contractual contingency that is not likely to materialize, in which case, nothing should be recognized in purchase accounting and, instead, that contingency would be subject to the probable and estimable recognition criteria of SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies. Reversals of deferred income tax valuation allowances and income tax contingencies will be recognized in earnings subsequent to the measurement period. The allowance for loan losses of an acquiree will not be permitted to be recognized by the acquirer. Additionally, SFAS No. 141(R) will require new and modified disclosures surrounding subsequent changes to acquisition-related contingencies, contingent consideration, noncontrolling interests, acquisition-related transaction costs, fair values and cash flows not expected to be collected for acquired loans, and an enhanced goodwill rollforward. We will be required to prospectively apply SFAS No. 141(R) to all business combinations completed on or after January 1, 2009. Early adoption is not permitted. We are currently evaluating SFAS No. 141(R) and have not determined the impact it will have on our financial statements.

Effective July 2, 2007, we acquired Kelly Insurance Agency, Inc. and Kelly Property and Casualty, Inc., two Virginia corporations located in Leesburg, Virginia, which were merged into Summit Insurance Services, LLC, our wholly owned subsidiary. We have deemed this transaction to be an immaterial acquisition.

As announced on April 12, 2007, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Agreement”) with Greater Atlantic Financial Corporation, Inc. (“Greater Atlantic”), headquartered in Reston, Virginia.

Under the terms of the Agreement, we will pay a combination of cash and shares of Summit common stock for each share of Greater Atlantic common stock outstanding, subject to a “stock collar” limiting the maximum and minimum number of shares we will issue. The stock collar is described more fully below. Subject to the stock collar, the total consideration for Greater Atlantic’s stock will be paid 70% in the form of Summit common stock and 30% cash, with each share of Greater Atlantic common stock exchanged for shares of Summit common stock valued at $4.20 and $1.80 in cash.

The number of shares of Summit common stock to be issued for each share of Greater Atlantic common stock will be determined by an exchange ratio at closing. At the closing, we will determine the exchange ratio by dividing $4.20 by the average closing price of Summit common stock reported on NASDAQ for the twenty (20) trading days prior to closing (the “Average Closing Price”). The exchange ratio is subject to a stock collar, which sets the maximum and minimum numbers of shares that we will issue. If the Average Closing Price of Summit common stock is less than $17.82, the exchange ratio will be calculated by dividing $4.20 by $17.82. If the Average Closing Price is greater than $24.01, the exchange ratio will be calculated by dividing $4.20 by $24.10.

Consummation of the Merger is subject to approval of the shareholders of Greater Atlantic and the receipt of all required regulatory approvals, as well as other customary conditions. This acquisition is expected to close during first quarter of 2008.

NOTE 4. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

During fourth quarter 2006, we decided to either sell or terminate substantially all business activities of Summit Mortgage (a division of Shenandoah Valley National Bank), our residential mortgage loan origination unit. The decision to exit the mortgage banking business was based on this business unit’s poor operating results and the continuing uncertainty for performance improvement. Further, we desired to concentrate our resources and capital on our community banking operations, which have a consistent record of exceptional growth and profitability.

Summit Mortgage, which was previously presented as a separate segment, is presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented in these financial statements.

The following table lists the assets and liabilities of Summit Mortgage included in the balance sheets as assets and liabilities related to discontinued operations.

Federal Reserve Bank stock and Federal Home Loan Bank stock are equity securities, which are included in securities available for sale in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Such securities are carried at cost, since they may only be sold back to the respective Federal Reserve Bank or Federal Home Loan Bank at par value.

We held 161 available for sale securities having an unrealized loss at December 31, 2007. Provided below is a summary of securities available for sale which were in an unrealized loss position at December 31, 2007 and 2006. We have the ability and intent to hold these securities until such time as the value recovers or the securities mature. Further, we believe that the decline in value is attributable to changes in market interest rates and not credit quality of the issuer and no additional impairment is warranted at this time.

During 2005, we recognized a $1.5 million pre-tax fourth quarter other-than-temporary non-cash impairment charge, which equals $940,000 on an after-tax basis. This impairment charge related to $5.7 million of certain preferred stock issuances of the Federal National Mortgage Association and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation which Summit continues to own, and was made primarily due to difficulty in accurately projecting the future recovery period of these securities. Although the securities are still rated as investment grade, we recognized the impairment charge in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

Concentrations of credit risk: We grant commercial, residential and consumer loans to customers primarily located in the Eastern Panhandle and South Central regions of West Virginia, and the Northern region of Virginia. Although we strive to maintain a diverse loan portfolio, exposure to credit losses can be adversely impacted by downturns in local economic and employment conditions. Major employment within our market area is diverse, but primarily includes government, health care, education, poultry and various professional, financial and related service industries. As of December 31, 2007, we had no concentrations of loans to any single industry in excess of 10% of loans. We evaluate the credit worthiness of each of our customers on a case-by-case basis and the amount of collateral we obtain is based upon this credit evaluation.

Loans to related parties: We have had, and may be expected to have in the future, banking transactions in the ordinary course of business with our directors, principal officers, their immediate families and affiliated companies in which they are principal stockholders (commonly referred to as related parties). These transactions have been, in our opinion, on the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with others.

The following presents the activity with respect to related party loans aggregating $60,000 or more to any one related party (other changes represent additions to and changes in director and executive officer status):

Nonaccrual loans totaled $2,917,000 and $638,000 at December 31, 2007 and 2006 respectively. Accruing loans past due 90 days or more totaled $7,416,000 and $4,638,000 at December 31, 2007 and 2006 respectively.

Our total recorded investment in impaired loans at December 31, 2007 and 2006 approximated $6,502,000 and $3,283,000, respectively. The related allowance associated with impaired loans for 2007 and 2006 was approximately $1,586,000 and $1,500,000, respectively. At December 31, 2007 and 2006, all impaired loans had a related allowance. Our average investment in such loans approximated $5,856,000, $2,197,000, and $3,181,000 for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005 respectively. Impaired loans at December 31, 2007 and 2006 included loans that were collateral dependent, for which the fair values of the loans’ collateral were used to measure impairment.

For purposes of evaluating impairment, we specifically review credits which consist of loans to customers who owe more than $50,000 and who are delinquent more than 30 days, all loans more than 90 days past due, loans adversely classified by regulatory authorities or the loan review staff or other management staff, and loans to customers in which it has been determined that ultimate collectibility is questionable.

For the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005, we recognized approximately $292,000, $108,000, and $181,000 in interest income on impaired loans after the date that the loans were deemed to be impaired. Using a cash-basis method of accounting, we would have recognized approximately the same amount of interest income on such loans.

NOTE 8. PROPERTY HELD FOR SALE

Property held for sale, consisting of foreclosed properties, was $2,058,000 and $41,000 at December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.

NOTE 10. INTANGIBLE ASSETS

In accordance with SFAS 142, 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 completed the required annual impairment test for 2007 and determined that no impairment write-offs were necessary.

In addition, at December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, we had $957,338 and $1,108,490, respectively, in unamortized acquired intangible assets consisting entirely of unidentifiable intangible assets recorded in accordance with SFAS 72 and $2,900,000 in unamortized identifiable customer intangible assets at December 31, 2007.

NOTE 12. BORROWED FUNDS

Our subsidiary banks are members of the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”). Membership in the FHLB makes available short-term and long-term advances under collateralized borrowing arrangements with each subsidiary bank. All FHLB advances are collateralized primarily by similar amounts of residential mortgage loans, certain commercial loans, mortgage backed securities and securities of U. S. Government agencies and corporations. We had $23 million available on a short term line of credit with the Federal Reserve Bank at December 31, 2007, which is primarily secured by consumer loans.

At December 31, 2007, our subsidiary banks had combined additional borrowings availability of $230,225,465 from the FHLB. Short-term FHLB advances are granted for terms of 1 to 365 days and bear interest at a fixed or variable rate set at the time of the funding request.

In addition, Summit Financial Group, Inc. has a long-term line of credit available through an unaffiliated banking institution which is secured by the common stock of one of our subsidiary banks. At December 31, 2007 we had $4,250,000 available to draw on this line.

Short-term borrowings: At December 31, 2007, we had $18,183,237 borrowing availability through credit lines and Federal funds purchased agreements. A summary of short-term borrowings is presented below.

Long-term borrowings: Our long-term borrowings of $315,737,535 and $176,109,484 as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, consisted primarily of advances from the FHLB and structured reverse repurchase agreements with two unaffiliated institutions. These borrowings bear both fixed and variable interest rates and mature in varying amounts through the year 2016. The average interest rate paid on long-term borrowings during 2007 and 2006 approximated 5.11% and 4.93%, respectively.

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 December 31, 2007 and 2006.

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 are redeemable by us quarterly, and the debentures of SFG Capital Trust II and SFG Capital Trust III are first redeemable by us in 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.

Deferred income taxes reflect the impact of "temporary differences" between amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and such amounts as measured for tax purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return consequences of temporary differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the related assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Valuation allowances are established when deemed necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

The tax effects of temporary differences, which give rise to our deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, are as follows:

In conjunction with the implementation of FIN 48 effective January 1, 2007, (see Note 2), we concluded that there were no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the consolidated financial statements. The evaluation was performed for the tax years ended 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2007, the tax years which remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions.

We may from time to time be assessed interest or penalties associated with tax liabilities by major tax jurisdictions, although any such assessments are estimated to be minimal and immaterial. To the extent we have received an assessment for interest and/or penalties, it has been classified in the consolidated statements of income as a component of other noninterest expense.

Our Federal income tax returns for the years ended December 31, 2004 through 2006 are currently open to audit under the statute of limitations by the Internal Revenue Service. The West Virginia State Tax Department concluded an examination of our 2003, 2004, and 2005 state tax returns during 2007 with no adjustments. Tax year 2006 remains subject to examination by the West Virginia State Tax Department.

NOTE 14. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

Retirement Plans: We have defined contribution profit-sharing plans with 401(k) provisions covering substantially all employees. Contributions to the plans are at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Contributions made to the plans and charged to expense were $450,000, $505,000, and $387,000 for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan: We have an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”), which enables eligible employees to acquire shares of our common stock. The cost of the ESOP is borne by us through annual contributions to an Employee Stock Ownership Trust in amounts determined by the Board of Directors.

The expense recognized by us is based on cash contributed or committed to be contributed by us to the ESOP during the year. Contributions to the ESOP for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 were $367,000, $393,000, and $355,000, respectively. Dividends paid by us to the ESOP are reported as a reduction to retained earnings. The ESOP owned 254,023 and 215,516 shares of our common stock at December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively, all of which were purchased at the prevailing market price and are considered outstanding for earnings per share computations. The trustees of the Retirement Plans and ESOP are also members of our Board of Directors.

Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan: In May 1999, Summit Community Bank entered into a non-qualified Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”) with certain senior officers, which provides participating officers with an income benefit payable at retirement age or death. During 2000, Shenandoah Valley National Bank adopted a similar plan and during 2002, Summit Financial Group, Inc. adopted a similar plan. The liabilities accrued for the SERP’s at December 31, 2007 and 2006 were $1,435,877 and $1,158,276 respectively, which are included in other liabilities. In addition, we purchased certain life insurance contracts to fund the liabilities arising under these plans. At December 31, 2007 and 2006, the cash surrender value of these insurance contracts was $9,646,194 and $9,285,931, respectively, and is included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

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 eliminated 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. During 2007, we recognized approximately $32,000 of compensation expense for share-based payment arrangements in our income statement, with a deferred tax asset of $11,000. At December 31, 2007, we had approximately $12,000 total compensation cost related to nonvested awards not yet recognized and we expect to recognize it over the next year.

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. There were no option grants in 2007. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model for the options granted in 2005 are risk-free interest rate of 4.44%; expected dividend yield of 1.25%; volatility factor of 25; and expected life of option of 8 years.

The following pro forma disclosures present for 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).

The weighted-average grant date fair value of options granted during 2005 was $8.07. For purposes of the pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized to expense over the options’ vesting period.

NOTE 15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk: 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.

Table of Contents

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

	December 31,
(dollars in thousands)	2007		2006
Commitments to extend credit:
Revolving home equity and
credit card lines	$	37,156	$	34,225
Construction loans		69,146		97,368
Other loans		45,324		34,400
Standby letters of credit		12,982		14,500
Total	$	164,608	$	180,493

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.

Operating leases: We occupy certain facilities under long-term operating leases for both continuing operations and discontinued operations. The aggregate minimum annual rental commitments under those leases total approximately $1,133,000 in 2008, $574,000 in 2009, $169,000 in 2010, $89,000 in 2011 and $89,000 in 2012. Total net rent expense included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements in continuing operations was $403,000 in 2007, $292,000 in 2006, and $242,000 in 2005.

Litigation: 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.

Employment Agreements: We have various employment agreements with our chief executive officer and certain other executive officers. These agreements contain change in control provisions that would entitle the officers to receive compensation in the event there is a change in control in the Company (as defined) and a termination of their employment without cause (as defined).

NOTE 16.

REGULATORY MATTERS

The primary source of funds for our dividends paid to our shareholders is dividends received from our subsidiary bank. Dividends paid by the subsidiary bank are subject to restrictions by banking regulations. The most restrictive provision requires approval by their regulatory agencies if dividends declared in any year exceed the year’s net income, as defined, plus the net retained profits of the two preceding years. During 2008, our subsidiaries have $11,985,000 plus net income for the interim periods through the date of declaration, available for dividends for distribution to us.

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. Our 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. Failure to meet these minimum capital requirements can result in certain mandatory and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators that could have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations.

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 December 31, 2007, that we and each of our subsidiaries met all capital adequacy requirements to which we were subject.

The most recent notifications from the banking regulatory agencies categorized us and our subsidiary bank 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.

Summit Community Bank is required to maintain noninterest bearing reserve balances with the Federal Reserve Bank. The required reserve balance was $50,000 at December 31, 2007.

Summit’s and its subsidiary bank’s actual capital amounts and ratios are also presented in the following table.

NOTE 18. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

We use derivative instruments primarily to protect against the risk of adverse interest rate movements on the value of certain liabilities. Derivative instruments represent contracts between parties that usually require little or no initial net investment and result in one party delivering cash or another type of asset to the other party based upon a notional amount and an underlying as specified in the contract. A notional amount represents the number of units of a specific item, such as currency units. An underlying represents a variable, such as an interest rate or price index. The amount of cash or other asset delivered from one party to the other is determined based upon the interaction of the notional amount of the contract with the underlying. Derivatives can also be implicit in certain contracts and commitments.

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from an adverse change in interest rates or equity prices. Our primary market risk is interest rate risk. We use interest rate swaps to protect against the risk of interest rate movements on the value of certain funding instruments.

Table of Contents

As with any financial instrument, derivative instruments have inherent risks, primarily market and credit risk. Market risk associated with changes in interest rates is managed by establishing and monitoring limits as to the degree of risk that may be undertaken as part of our overall market risk monitoring process. Credit risk occurs when a counterparty to a derivative contract with an unrealized gain fails to perform according to the terms of the agreement. Credit risk is managed by monitoring the size and maturity structure of the derivative portfolio, and applying uniform credit standards to all activities with credit risk.

Fair value hedges: We primarily use receive-fixed interest rate swaps to hedge the fair values of certain fixed rate long term FHLB advances and certificates of deposit against changes in interest rates. These hedges are 100% effective, therefore there is no ineffectiveness reflected in earnings. The net of the amounts earned on the fixed rate leg of the swaps and amounts due on the variable rate leg of the swaps are reflected in interest expense.

Other derivative activities: We also have other derivative financial instruments which do not qualify as SFAS 133 hedge relationships.

We have entered into receive-fixed interest rate swaps on certain Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") convertible select advances. These swaps are held for risk management purposes and do not qualify for hedge accounting. They are accounted for at fair value with the changes in fair value with the changes in fair value recorded on the income statement in noninterest income. These swaps were subsequently unwound in January 2008 and we realized a $727,000 gain as a result of this transaction.

We have issued certain certificates of deposit which pay a return based upon changes in the S&P 500 equity index. Under SFAS 133, the equity index feature of these deposits is deemed to be an embedded derivative accounted for separately from the deposit. To hedge the returns paid to the depositors, we have entered into an equity swap indexed to the S&P 500. Both the embedded derivative and the equity swap are accounted for as other derivative instruments. Gains and losses on both the embedded derivative and the swap are included in other noninterest income on the consolidated statement of income.

We have also entered into receive-fixed interest rate swaps with certain customers (“Customer Swaps”) who have a variable rate commercial real estate loan, but desire a long-term fixed interest rate. The notional amount of each Customer Swap equals the principal balance of the customer’s related commercial real estate loan. Further, under the terms of each Customer Swap, the variable rate payment we pay the customer equals the interest payment the customer pays us under the terms of their commercial real estate loan. Accordingly, the customer’s fixed rate payment under the Customer Swap represents the customer’s effective borrowing cost. In addition, to hedge the long-term interest rate risk associated with these transactions, we have entered into receive-variable interest rate swaps with an unrelated counterparty (“Counterparty Swap”) in notional amounts equaling the notional amounts of each related Customer Swap. The amounts we pay to the unrelated counterparty under the fixed rate leg of each Counterparty Swap equals the amount we receive from each customer under the fixed rate leg of their Customer Swap. Gains and losses associated with both the Customer Swaps and Counterparty Swaps are included in other noninterest income on the consolidated statement of income.

NOTE 19. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The following summarizes the methods and significant assumptions we used in estimating our fair value disclosures for financial instruments.

Cash and due from banks: The carrying values of cash and due from banks approximate their estimated fair value.

Interest bearing deposits with other banks: The fair values of interest bearing deposits with other banks are estimated by discounting scheduled future receipts of principal and interest at the current rates offered on similar instruments with similar remaining maturities.

Federal funds sold: The carrying values of Federal funds sold approximate their estimated fair values.

Securities: Estimated fair values of securities are based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, estimated fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable securities.

Loans: The estimated fair values for loans are computed based on scheduled future cash flows of principal and interest, discounted at interest rates currently offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. No prepayments of principal are assumed.

Accrued interest receivable and payable: The carrying values of accrued interest receivable and payable approximate their estimated fair values.

Deposits: The estimated fair values of demand deposits (i.e. non-interest bearing checking, NOW, money market and savings accounts) and other variable rate deposits approximate their carrying values. Fair values of fixed maturity deposits are estimated using a discounted cash flow methodology at rates currently offered for deposits with similar remaining maturities. Any intangible value of long-term relationships with depositors is not considered in estimating the fair values disclosed.

Short-term borrowings: The carrying values of short-term borrowings approximate their estimated fair values.

Long-term borrowings: The fair values of long-term borrowings are estimated by discounting scheduled future

payments of principal and interest at current rates available on borrowings with similar terms.

Derivative financial instruments: The fair values of the interest rate swaps are valued using cash flow projection models.

Assets related to discontinued operations: The primary component of the financial assets related to discontinued operations is loans held for sale. Their carrying values approximate their estimated fair values.

Off-balance sheet instruments: The fair values of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit are estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present credit standing of the counter parties. The amounts of fees currently charged on commitments and standby letters of credit are deemed

insignificant, and therefore, the estimated fair values and carrying values are not shown below.

The carrying values and estimated fair values of our financial instruments are summarized below:
