Summit Financial Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) Note 1. Basis of Presentation These consolidated financial statements of Summit Financial Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries ("Summit" or "Company") have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual year end financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included and are of a normal recurring nature. The presentation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that effect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The consolidated financial statements and notes included herein should be read in conjunction with the Company's 2001 audited financial statements and Annual Report on Form 10-K. Certain accounts in the consolidated financial statements for December 31, 2001 and September 30, 2001, as previously presented, have been reclassified to conform to current year classifications. Note 2. Accounting Change and New Accounting Pronouncement In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets ("SFAS 142"), which addresses the accounting and reporting for acquired goodwill and other intangible assets. Under the provisions of SFAS 142, goodwill and certain other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are no longer amortized into net income over an estimated life, but rather are tested at least annually for impairment based on specific guidance provided in the new standard. However, SFAS 142 did not supercede Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 72, Accounting for Certain Acquisitions of Banking or Thrift Institutions ("SFAS 72"), and therefore, any goodwill accounted for in accordance with SFAS 72 will continue to be amortized until further guidance is issued from the FASB. SFAS 142 also requires that intangible assets determined to have definite useful lives be amortized over their estimated useful lives and also be subject to impairment testing. The provisions of SFAS 142 were adopted by Summit as required effective January 1, 2002. During the second quarter of 2002, the Company performed the required transitional impairment test of goodwill as of January 1, 2002, and did not record an impairment loss as a result of this test. Due to no longer having to amortize goodwill against earnings, Summit's net income is expected to increase by approximately $131,000, or $0.07 per diluted share in 2002. The following presents the Company's consolidated results of operations adjusted as though the adoption of SFAS 142 occurred as of January 1, 2001. 9

Accordingly, no changes in goodwill were recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2002. At September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, Summit had $1,750,887 and $1,864,251, respectively, in unamortized acquired intangible assets consisting entirely of goodwill recorded in accordance with SFAS 72. Amortization of $113,364 was recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 relative to these intangible assets. Annual amortization is expected to be approximately $151,000 for each of the years ending 2002 through 2006. In October 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 147, Acquisitions of Certain Financial Institutions ("SFAS 147"). SFAS 147 removes acquisitions of financial institutions from the scope of SFAS 72 and requires that these transactions be accounted for in accordance with FASB Statement No. 141, Business Combinations, and SFAS 142. In addition, SFAS 147 clarifies that the acquisition of a less-than-whole financial institution (e.g. a branch acquisition) that meets the definition of a business should be accounted for as a business combination, otherwise the transaction should be accounted for as an acquisition of net assets that does not result in the recognition of goodwill. SFAS 147 also amends FASB Statement No. 144, Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, to include in its scope long-term customer-relationship intangible assets of financial institutions such as depositor- and borrower- relationship intangible assets. SFAS 147 is effective on and after October 1, 2002. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 147 will result in a material impact on its financial position or its results of operations. 10

Subsequent Events On October 15, 2002, at a special meeting of Summit's shareholders, an amendment to the Company's Articles of Incorporation was approved authorizing a class of 250,000 shares of $1.00 par value preferred stock. The amendment further authorizes the Company's Board of Directors to issue the preferred stock, and to fix the designation, preferences, rights, dividends, and all other attributes of such preferred stock without any further vote or action by the shareholders. On October 25, 2002. Summit's Board of Directors declared a $0.38 per share dividend, payable on December 16, 2002 to shareholders of record as of December 2, 2002. 18

On October 29, 2002, $3.5 million of Company-obligated mandatorily redeemable capital securities ("Capital Securities") of a subsidiary trust holding solely junior subordinated debt securities of the Company ("Debentures") were issued by SFG Capital Trust I ("Trust"), a Delaware business trust, of which 100% of the common equity is owned by Summit. The Trust was formed for the purpose of issuing the Capital Securities and investing the proceeds from the sale of such Capital Securities in the Debentures. The Debentures are the sole asset of the Trust. Distributions on the Capital Securities issued by the Trust are payable quarterly at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate being earned on the Debentures held by the Trust and are recorded as interest expense by the Company. The Capital Securities are subject to mandatory redemption, in whole or in part, upon repayment of the Debentures. The Company has entered into an agreement which fully and unconditionally guarantees the Capital Securities subject to the terms of each of the guarantees. The Debentures held by the Trust bear interest at a variable interest rate equal to LIBOR plus 345 basis points, adjusted quarterly. The Debentures qualify as Tier 1 capital under Federal Reserve Board guidelines. The Debentures are first redeemable, in whole or in part, by the Company in 2007. Note 10. Restrictions on Capital Summit and its 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, Summit and each of its subsidiaries must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of Summit's and its subsidiaries' assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Summit and each of its subsidiaries' capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require Summit and each of its 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). Management believes, as of September 30, 2002, that Summit and each of its subsidiaries met all capital adequacy requirements to which they were subject. The most recent notifications from the banking regulatory agencies categorized Summit and each of its subsidiaries as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, Summit and each of its subsidiaries must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based, and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the table below. Summit's and its subsidiaries', Summit Community Bank's ("Summit Community", the entity resulting from the merger of two former Summit bank subsidiaries, South Branch Valley National Bank and Potomac Valley Bank on January 18, 2002), Capital State Bank, Inc.'s ("Capital State") and Shenandoah Valley National Bank's ("Shenandoah") actual capital amounts and ratios are presented in the following table. 19

Summit Financial Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations INTRODUCTION The following discussion and analysis focuses on significant changes in the financial condition and results of operations of Summit Financial Group, Inc. ("Company" or "Summit") and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Summit Community Bank ("Summit Community"), Capital State Bank, Inc. ("Capital State"), and Shenandoah Valley National Bank ("Shenandoah") for the periods indicated. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Company's 2001 audited financial statements and Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Private Securities Litigation Act of 1995 indicates that the disclosure of forward-looking information is desirable for investors and encourages such disclosure by providing a safe harbor for forward-looking statements by management. The following management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations contains certain forward-looking statements that involve risk and uncertainty. In order to comply with the terms of the safe harbor, the Company notes that a variety of factors could cause Summit's actual results and experience to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in those forward-looking statements. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Earnings Summary Summit reported net income of $1,923,000, or $1.09 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2002, as compared to $1,438,000, or $.82 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2001. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 grew 42.5% to $5,194,000, or $2.94 per diluted share as compared to $3,646,000, or $2.08 per diluted share for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. Returns on average equity and assets for the first nine months of 2002 were 14.94% and 1.13%, respectively, compared with 11.65% and 0.95% for the same period of 2001. Improved financial performance for the first nine months of 2002 resulted primarily from growth in net interest income. Net Interest Income The Company's net interest income on a fully tax-equivalent basis totaled $16,831,000 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2002 compared to $12,905,000 for the same period of 2001, representing an increase of $3,926,000 or 30.42%. This increase resulted from growth in interest earning assets. Average interest earning assets grew 21.3% from $478,856,000 during the first nine months of 2001 to $581,042,000 for the first nine months of 2002. Summit's net yield on interest earning assets increased to 3.9%, for the nine month period ended September 30, 2002 compared to 3.6% for the same period of 2001. Consistent with industry trends, the Company's net interest margin has been narrowing as competition from nontraditional financial service providers and shifting customer preferences have made it difficult to attract core deposits, the most significant and lowest cost funding source of commercial banks. Growth in the Company's net interest income is expected to continue due to anticipated growth in volumes of interest earning assets, principally loans, over the near term. However, if market interest rates were to rise significantly over the next 12 months, the spread between interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities could begin to narrow due to Summit's current liability sensitive position, thus negatively impacting net interest income. Management continually monitors the net interest margin through net interest income simulation to minimize the potential for any significant negative impact. See the "Market Risk Management" section for further discussion of the impact changes in market interest rates could have on Summit. Further analysis of the Company's yields on interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities are presented in Tables I and II below. 21

Table II - Changes in Interest Margin Attributable to Rate and Volume (Dollars in thousands) For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2002 versus September 30, 2001 ------------------------------------- Increase (Decrease) Due to Change in: ------------------------------------- Volume Rate Net ------- -------- ----- Interest earned on: Loans Taxable $ 4,414 $(2,198) 2,216 Tax-exempt 245 (51) 194 Securities Taxable 461 (1,205) (744) Tax-exempt 911 (23) 888 Federal funds sold and interest bearing deposits with other banks (32) (67) (99) ------- ------- ------- Total interest earned on interest earning assets 5,999 (3,544) 2,455 ------- ------- ------- Interest paid on: Interest bearing demand deposits 320 (842) (522) Savings deposits 106 (395) (289) Time deposits 787 (2,779) (1,992) Short-term borrowings 108 (233) (125) Long-term borrowings 1,773 (316) 1,457 ------- ------- ------- Total interest paid on interest bearing liabilities 3,094 (4,565) (1,471) ------- ------- ------- Net interest income $ 2,905 $ 1,021 $ 3,926 ======= ======= ======= Credit Experience The provision for loan losses represents charges to earnings necessary to maintain an adequate allowance for potential future loan losses. Management's determination of the appropriate level of the allowance is based on an ongoing analysis of credit quality and loss potential in the loan portfolio, change in the composition and risk characteristics of the loan portfolio, and the anticipated influence of national and local economic conditions. The adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is reviewed quarterly and adjustments are made as considered necessary. The Company recorded a $908,000 provision for loan losses for the first nine months of 2002, compared to $553,000 for the same period in 2001, an increase of $355,000 or 64.2%. This increase represents continued growth of the loan portfolio. Net loan charge offs for the first nine months of 2002 were $99,000, as compared to $269,000 over the same period of 2001. At September 30, 2002, the allowance for loan losses totaled $3,919,000 or 0.95% of loans, net of unearned income, compared to $3,110,000 or 0.89% of loans, net of unearned income at December 31, 2001. 23

Summit's asset quality remains sound. As illustrated in Table III below, the Company's non-performing assets and loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest have decreased during the past 12 months, remaining at a historically moderate level. Table III - Summary of Past Due Loans and Non-Performing Assets (Dollars in thousands) September 30, December 31, ------------------- 2002 2001 2001 ------ ------ ------ Accruing loans past due 90 days or more $ 241 $ 104 $ 328 Nonperforming assets: Nonaccrual loans 734 933 788 Foreclosed properties 81 81 81 Repossessed assets 4 14 - ------ ------ ------ Total $1,060 $1,132 $1,197 ====== ====== ====== Percentage of total loans 0.3% 0.3% 0.3% === === === Noninterest Expense Total noninterest expense increased approximately $1,352,000, or 16.8% to $9,380,000 during the first nine months of 2002 as compared to the same period in 2001. Substantially all of this increase resulted primarily from an increase in salaries and employee benefits expense as a result of the company awarding general merit raises and the addition of new staff positions required as a result of Summit's growth. FINANCIAL CONDITION Total assets of the Company were $669,382,000 at September 30, 2002, compared to $591,757,000 at December 31, 2001, representing a 13.1% increase. Table IV below serves to illustrate significant changes in the Company's financial position between December 31, 2001 and September 30, 2002. 24

Table IV - Summary of Significant Changes in Financial Position (Dollars in thousands) Balance Balance December 31, Increase (Decrease) September 30, --------------------- 2001 Amount Percentage 2002 -------- -------- ------ -------- Assets Federal funds sold $ 1,848 $ (463) -25.1% $ 1,385 Securities available for sale 206,967 11,523 5.6% 218,490 Loans, net of unearned income 344,415 63,771 18.5% 408,186 Liabilities Interest bearing deposits $357,519 $ 54,288 15.2% $411,807 Short-term borrowings 24,033 (11,868) -49.4% 12,165 Long-term borrowings 123,445 14,152 11.5% 137,597 Loan growth during the first nine months of 2002, occurring principally in the commercial real estate and real estate - mortgage portfolios, was funded primarily by long-term borrowings from the FHLB. Short-term borrowings decreased during the first nine months of 2002 as the Company borrowed long-term with the FHLB and paid down the short-term borrowings. Refer to Notes 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 of the notes to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information with regard to changes in the composition of the Summit's securities, loans, deposits and borrowing activity between September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001. LIQUIDITY Liquidity reflects the Company's ability to ensure the availability of adequate funds to meet loan commitments and deposit withdrawals, as well as provide for other transactional requirements. Liquidity is provided primarily by funds invested in cash and due from banks, Federal funds sold, non-pledged securities, and available lines of credit with the FHLB, the total of which approximated $122 million or 18% of total assets at September 30, 2002 versus $126 million, or 21% of total assets at December 31, 2001. The Company's liquidity position is monitored continuously to ensure that day-to-day as well as anticipated funding needs are met. Management is not aware of any trends, commitments, events or uncertainties that have resulted in or are reasonably likely to result in a material change to the Summit's liquidity. CAPITAL RESOURCES Maintenance of a strong capital position is a continuing goal of Company management. Through management of its capital resources, the Company seeks to provide an attractive financial return to its shareholders while retaining sufficient capital to support future growth. Shareholders' equity at September 30, 2002 totaled $51,379,000 compared to $44,287,000 at December 31, 2001, representing an increase of 16.0% which resulted primarily from net retained earnings of the Company during the first nine months of 2002 and the appreciation in fair value of the Company's available for sale securities portfolio. 25

Refer to Note 10 of the notes to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for information regarding regulatory restrictions on the Company's and its subsidiaries' capital. MARKET RISK MANAGEMENT Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in the fair value of financial instruments due to changes in interest rates, exchange rates and equity prices. Interest rate risk is Summit's primary market risk and results from timing differences in the repricing of assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet instruments, changes in relationships between rate indices and the potential exercise of imbedded options. The principal objective of asset/liability management is to minimize interest rate risk and the Company's actions in this regard are taken under the guidance of its Asset/Liability Management Committee ("ALCO"), which is comprised of members of senior management and members of the Board of Directors. The ALCO actively formulates the economic assumptions that the Company uses in its financial planning and budgeting process and establishes policies which control and monitor the Company's sources, uses and prices of funds. Some amount of interest rate risk is inherent and appropriate to the banking business. Summit's net income is affected by changes in the absolute level of interest rates. The Company's interest rate risk position is liability sensitive; that is, liabilities are likely to reprice faster than assets, resulting in a decrease in net income in a rising rate environment. Conversely, net income should increase in a falling interest rate environment. Net income is also subject to changes in the shape of the yield curve. In general, a flattening yield curve would result in a decline in Company 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. Summit primarily uses 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. 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. As of September 30, 2002, Summit's earnings simulation model projects net interest income would decrease by approximately 0.9% if rates rise evenly by 200 basis points over the next 12 month period, as compared to a projected stable rate net interest income. Further, the model projects that if rates fall evenly by 200 basis points over the next year, Company net interest income would decrease by approximately 0.5%, as compared to a projected stable rate net interest income. These projected changes are well within Summit's ALCO policy limit of +/- 10%. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES Summit management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have conducted within 90 days of the filing of this Form 10-Q an evaluation of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-14. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that all material information required to be filed in this quarterly report has been made known to them in a timely fashion. There have been no significant changes in internal controls, or in factors that could significantly affect internal controls, subsequent to the date the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer completed their evaluation. 26
