South Branch Valley Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) Note 1. Basis of Presentation These consolidated financial statements of South Branch Valley Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries ("South Branch" or "Company") have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with instructions to Form 10-QSB and Item 310 of Regulation S-B. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles 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 generally accepted accounting principles 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 three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 1999 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 audited consolidated financial statements and notes related thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1998. 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. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB contains 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 South Branch's actual results and experience to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in those forward-looking statements. Note 2. Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per common share are computed based upon the weighted average shares outstanding. The weighted average shares outstanding for the nine month periods ended September 30, 1999 and 1998 were 591,292 and 534,241 respectively. The weighted average shares outstanding for the three month periods ended September 30, 1999 and 1998 were 591,292 and 592,292 respectively. In accordance Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 128, Earning per Share, diluted earnings per share amounts assume the conversion, exercise or issuance of all potential common stock instruments unless the effect is to reduce the loss or increase the income per common share from continuing operations. At September 30, 1999, options totaling 7,500 shares of South Branch's common stock had been granted under the Company's 1998 Officer Stock Option Plan, which had the effect of increasing average shares outstanding for purposes of computing diluted earnings per share by 43 and 0 shares for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. These options had no effect on the average shares outstanding for purposes of computing diluted earnings per share for the quarters ended September 30, 1999 and 1998. 8

Note 3. Acquisitions and New Subsidiary On December 23, 1998, Capital State Bank, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company, entered into an agreement to purchase three branch banking facilities located in Greenbrier County, West Virginia. The transaction was completed on April 22, 1999, and includes the branches' facilities and associated loan and deposit accounts. Total deposits assumed approximated $47.4 million and total loans acquired approximated $8.9 million as of the transaction's closing. This transaction was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The excess purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired as of the consummation date approximated $2,267,000, which is included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 1999. This goodwill is being amortized over a period of 15 years using the straight line method. On March 24, 1998 and March 25, 1998, the shareholders of Capital State Bank, Inc. and South Branch Valley Bancorp, Inc. respectively, approved the merger of Capital State into Capital Interim Bank, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of South Branch. The merger was consummated at the close of business on March 31, 1998. This acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting., and accordingly, the assets and liabilities and results of operations of Capital State are reflected in the Company's consolidated financial statements beginning April 1, 1998. The excess purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired as of the consummation date approximated $1,966,000, and is being amortized over a period of 15 years using the straight line method. The following presents certain pro forma condensed consolidated financial information of South Branch, using the purchase method of accounting, after giving effect to the acquisitions of Capital State Bank, Inc. and Greenbrier County branches as if each transaction had been consummated at the beginning of the periods presented.

The Company grants commercial, residential and consumer loans to customers primarily located in the Potomac Highlands, South Central, and South Eastern counties of West Virginia, and in Winchester-Frederick County, Virginia. Although the Company strives 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 the Company's market area is diverse, but primarily includes the poultry, government, health care, education, coal production and various professional, financial and related service industries.

Restrictions on Capital South Branch 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, South Branch and each of its subsidiaries must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of South Branch's and its subsidiaries' assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. South Branch 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 South Branch 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, at September 30, 1999, that South Branch and each of its subsidiaries met all capital adequacy requirements to which they were subject. 13

The most recent notifications from the banking regulatory agencies categorized South Branch and each of its subsidiaries as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, South Branch 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. South Branch's and its subsidiaries', South Branch Valley National Bank's ("SBVNB"), Capital State Bank, Inc.'s ("CSB"), and Shenandoah Valley National Bank's ("SVNB") actual capital amounts and ratios are also presented in the following table (dollar amounts in thousands).

Note 10. Pending Merger On July 16, 1999, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger ("Agreement") to affiliate with Potomac Valley Bank ("Potomac") in Petersburg, West Virginia. Under the terms of the Agreement South Branch and Potomac propose a merger whereby the shareholders of Potomac would exchange all of their outstanding shares of common stock for shares of South Branch common stock at a book-for-book exchange based on the respective book values of South Branch and Potomac as of the closing date. At September 30, 1999, the exchange ratio would have been 3.31 shares of South Branch common stock for each share of Potomac's 90,000 outstanding shares of common stock. The terms of the Agreement also include, among others, that the merger is subject to South Branch changing its name to Summit Financial Group, Inc. and approval of the transaction by all applicable regulatory authorities and the shareholders of South Branch and Potomac. It is expected that the transaction will be accounted for using the pooling of interests method of accounting. As of September 30, 1999, Potomac's assets, loans, deposits and shareholders' equity totaled $92,343,000, $52,368,000, $79,660,000 and $12,233,000, respectively. 15

South Branch Valley Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations INTRODUCTION The following is a discussion and analysis focused on significant changes in the financial condition and results of operations of South Branch Valley Bancorp, Inc. ("Company" or "South Branch") and its wholly owned subsidiaries, South Branch Valley National Bank ("SBVNB"), Capital State Bank, Inc. ("Capital State"), and Shenandoah Valley National Bank ("SVNB") for the periods indicated. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Company's 1998 audited consolidated financial statements and Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. This discussion may also contain forward-looking statements based on management's expectations, and actual results may differ materially. ACQUISITIONS AND NEW SUBSIDIARY On May 14, 1999, SVNB, a newly organized bank subsidiary of South Branch, was granted its charter by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. This entity was initially capitalized with $4 million, funded by a special dividend in the amount of $3 million from the Company's subsidiary bank, SBVNB, and from a $1 million term loan from Potomac Valley Bank. SVNB opened for business on May 17, 1999. On December 23, 1998, Capital State entered into an agreement to purchase three branch banking facilities located in Greenbrier County, West Virginia. The transaction was completed on April 22, 1999, and includes the branches' facilities and associated loan and deposit accounts. Total deposits assumed approximated $47.4 million and total loans acquired approximated $8.9 million as of the transaction's closing. This transaction was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and accordingly, the balances and results of operations of the branches are included in the consolidated financial statements of South Branch only from the date of purchase. At the close of business March 31, 1998, South Branch acquired 60% of the outstanding common stock of Capital State, a Charleston, West Virginia state chartered bank with total assets approximating $44 million at the time of acquisition, in exchange for 183,465 shares of South Branch's common stock. South Branch had previously acquired 40% of Capital State's outstanding common stock during 1997. This acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, and accordingly, the assets and liabilities and results of operations of Capital State are reflected in the Company's consolidated financial statements beginning April 1, 1998. Refer to Note 3 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding these acquisitions. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Earnings Summary South Branch reported net income of $600,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1999 compared to $505,000 for the third quarter of 1998, representing an 18.8% increase. For the nine month period ended September 30, 1999, South Branch's net income of $1,462,000, increased 12.2% from the $1,303,000 reported for the same period of 1998. The increase in earnings for both the quarterly and nine month periods resulted primarily from growth in interest earning assets and improved service fee revenues. 16

Basic and diluted earnings per common share were $1.01 for the quarter ended September 30, 1999, compared to the $0.85 reported for the third quarter of 1998. For the nine month period ended September 30, 1999, basic and diluted earnings per common share totaled $2.47, compared to $2.44 for the same period of 1998. Net Interest Income The Company's net interest income on a fully tax-equivalent basis totaled $6,655,000 for the nine month period ended September 30, 1999 compared to $5,078,000 for the same period of 1998, representing an increase of $1,577,000 or 31.1%. This increase resulted from growth in the volume of earning assets as result of the acquisitions of Capital State and the Greenbrier County branches and as a result of solid Company-wide loan growth. South Branch's net yield on interest earning assets however decreased to 3.9% for the nine month period ended September 30, 1999, compared to 4.3% for the same period in 1998. Growth in net interest income is expected to continue due to anticipated continued growth in volumes of interest earning assets, principally loans, over the near term. Conversely, the Company's net yield on earning assets is anticipated to continue to contract over the balance of 1999, primarily due to the declining yields on loans as result of generally lower interest rates and an increasingly competitive market for quality new credits. Further analysis of the Company's yields on interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities are presented in Table I below. 17

The tax equivalent adjustment resulted in an increase in interest income of $121,000 and $123,000 for the periods ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. 18

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 $258,000 provision for loan losses for the first nine months of 1999, compared to $195,000 for the same period in 1998. This increase reflects the acquisition of Capital State and continued growth of the loan portfolio. Net loan charge-offs for the first nine months of 1999 were $118,000 as compared to $45,000 over the same period of 1998. At September 30, 1999, the allowance for loan losses totaled $1,511,000 or 0.8% of loans, net of unearned income, compared to $1,372,000 or 1.0% of loans, net of unearned income at December 31, 1998. See Note 6 of the notes to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for an analysis of the activity in the Company's allowance for loan losses for the nine month periods ended September 30, 1999 and 1998 and for the year ended December 31, 1998. As illustrated in Table II below, the Company's non-performing assets and loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest has decreased from $749,000 at December 31, 1998 to $670,000 at September 30, 1999.

Noninterest Income and Expense Total other income increased approximately $155,000 or 34.8% to $600,000 during the first nine months of 1999, as compared to the first nine months of 1998. The most significant item contributing to this increase was service fees on deposits, which increased $132,000 from approximately $312,000 to $444,000, or 42.3%. This resulted primarily from a change in SBVNB's deposit fee structure and improved realization of fee income at Capital State during the first three quarters of 1999. Management expects the Company will achieve similar levels of service fee income throughout the remainder of 1999. Total noninterest expense increased approximately $1,324,000 or 40.5% to $4,596,000 during the first nine months of 1999 as compared to $3,272,000 for the first nine months of 1998. This increase resulted due to only two quarters of Capital State's noninterest expenses being included in consolidated noninterest expense for the first nine months of 1998 due to its acquisition on April 1, 1998, one time acquisition costs as well as operating costs associated with the Greenbrier County branches acquired April 22, 1999, and one time start up costs related to the organization and opening of SVNB. FINANCIAL CONDITION Total assets of the Company were $284,193,000 at September 30, 1999, compared to $192,999,000 at December 31, 1998, representing a 47.3% increase. Table III below serves to illustrate significant changes in the Company's financial position between December 31, 1998 and September 30, 1999. Table III - Summary of Significant Changes in Company's Financial Position (in thousands of dollars) Increase Balance (Decrease) Balance December 31,----------------- September 30, 1998 Amount Percent 1999 ----------- -------- -------- ------------- Assets Securities available for sale $ 31,410 $45,590 145.1% $ 77,000 Loans, net of unearned income 144,142 35,895 24.9% 180,037 Liabilities Noninterest bearing deposits $ 11,455 7,555 66.0% $ 19,010 Interest bearing deposits 134,918 68,698 50.9% 203,616 Short-term borrowings 4,644 10,168 218.9% 14,812 Long-term borrowings 16,469 4,249 25.8% 20,718 The increase in securities available for sale resulted primarily from the purchase of U.S. government agency securities and mortgage backed securities during the first nine months of 1999. Purchases of these securities were made primarily to invest a significant portion of the $35.1 million in net funds the Company realized in conjunction with the acquisition of three branch banks in Greenbrier County, West Virginia in April 1999, and as part of South Branch's ongoing asset/liability management strategy, which strives to minimize interest rate risk while enhancing the financial position of the Company. Growth in both noninterest bearing and interest bearing deposits reflects the approximate $47.2 million in deposits acquired with the Greenbrier County branches and SVNB's deposit growth to $25.8 million at September 30, 1999 following the new Bank's opening in May 1999. 20

Growth in loans during the first nine months of 1999, occurring primarily in the commercial and real estate portfolios, was funded principally by short-and long-term borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank and by deposits acquired with the Greenbrier County branches. Refer to Notes 4, 5 and 8 of the notes to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information with regard to changes in the composition of the South Branch's securities, loans and deposits between September 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998. 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, securities and interest bearing deposits with other banks maturing within one year, and lines of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank which totaled approximately $52.5 million at September 30, 1999 versus $45.1 million at December 31, 1998. Further enhancing the Company's liquidity is the availability as of September 30, 1999 of additional securities totaling $77 million classified as available for sale in response to an unforeseen need for liquidity. 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 South Branch'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, 1999 totaled $24,285,000 compared to $24,145,000 at December 31, 1998. See Note 9 of the notes to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for information regarding regulatory restrictions on the Company's and its subsidiaries' capital. YEAR 2000 The Year 2000 Issue is the result of many existing computer programs and other date dependent electronic devices using only the last two digits, as opposed to four digits, to indicate the year. Such computer systems and devices may be unable to recognize a year that begins with 20XX instead of 19XX. If not corrected, the computer programs and devices could cause systems to fail or other computer errors, leading to possible disruptions in operations or creation of erroneous results. South Branch recognizes the significant potential risk associated with the Year 2000 Issue and, in a Company-wide effort, is taking steps to ensure that its internal systems are secure from such failure. 21

The Company's Year 2000 Plan ("Plan") addresses all its systems, software, hardware, and infrastructure components. The Plan identifies and addresses "Mission Critical" and "Non-mission Critical" components for Information Technology ("IT") systems and Non-information Technology ("Non-IT") systems. IT includes, for example, systems that service loan and deposit customers. Non-IT systems include security systems, elevators, utilities and voice/data communications. An application, system, or process is deemed "Mission Critical" if it is vital to the successful continuance of a core business activity. South Branch's Plan follows a five phase approach recommended by bank regulatory authorities. These phases are: Awareness, Assessment, Renovation, Testing/Validation, and Implementation. During the Awareness Phase, management gathered information and appointed a project steering committee to coordinate the Company's Year 2000 efforts. In the Assessment Phase, South Branch identified its Mission Critical IT and Non-IT systems and performed an inventory of all systems, software, hardware, equipment and components that potentially could be affected by the Year 2000 issue. The Renovation Phase involves implementing program changes and new components, where applicable, to accommodate identified Year 2000 issues. In the Testing/Validation Phase, the Company is testing renovated applications and components to ensure they are Year 2000 compliant. During the Implementation Phase, applications, systems and other components are fine-tuned and final programs and components are placed into operation. South Branch's estimated progress as of September 30, 1999 towards meeting the Plan's goals for both IT and Non-IT systems by phase are as follows: Percent Completion Phase Complete Date ------------------- -------- ---------- Mission Critical Awareness 100% 06/30/1998 Assessment 100% 09/30/1998 Renovation 100% 06/30/1999 Testing/Validation 100% 06/30/1999 Implementation 100% 06/30/1999 Non-mission Critical Awareness 100% 06/30/1998 Assessment 100% 09/30/1998 Renovation 100% 06/30/1999 Testing/Validation 100% 06/30/1999 Implementation 100% 06/30/1999 South Branch depends on various third-party vendors, suppliers, and service providers, and will be dependent on their continued service in order to avoid business interruptions. Any interruption in a third party's ability to provide goods and services, such as issues with telecommunication links and providers of electricity, could interrupt South Branch's ability to meet its customer's needs. South Branch has identified several third-party relationships considered Mission Critical, and is presently working with each to test transactions and/or interfaces between its processors, obtain appropriate information from each party, or assess each party's readiness with regard to the Year 2000 Issue. Identifiable costs for the Company's Year 2000 project during 1999 approximated $20,000, substantially all of which were capital expenditures for the replacement of computers and other date dependent electronic devices. The cost to complete the Plan is not expected to exceed $20,000. 22

Major business risks associated with the Year 2000 problem include, but are not limited to, infrastructure failures, disruptions to the economy in general, excessive cash withdrawal activity, closure of government offices and clearing houses, and increased problem loans and credit losses in the event that borrowers fail to properly respond to the problem. These risks, along with the unlikely risk of South Branch failing to adequately complete the remaining phases of its Plan and the resulting possible inability to properly process business transactions expose the Company to loss of revenues, litigation, and asset quality deterioration. The Year 2000 problem is unique in that it has never previously occurred; thus, it is not possible to completely foresee or quantify the overall or any specific financial or operational impacts to the Company or to third parties which provide Mission Critical services to the Company. South Branch has developed comprehensive Year 2000 contingency plans in the event that Mission Critical third party vendors or other third parties fail to adequately address Year 2000 issues. Such plans principally involve internal remediation or utilization of alternative vendors. 23
