Note 1. Basis of Presentation

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

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

The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The consolidated financial statements and notes included herein should be read in conjunction with our 2005 audited financial statements and Annual Report on Form 10-K. Certain accounts in the consolidated financial statements for December 31, 2005 and June 30, 2005, as previously presented, have been reclassified to conform to current year classifications.

Long-term borrowings: Our long-term borrowings of $147,578,964, $150,911,835 and $165,455,406 at June 30, 2006, December 31, 2005, and June 30, 2005 respectively, consisted primarily of advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”).

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

The average interest rate paid on long-term borrowings for the six month period ended June 30, 2006 was 5.19% compared to 4.41% for the first six months of 2005.

Subordinated Debentures: We have three statutory business trusts that were formed for the purpose of issuing mandatorily redeemable securities (the “capital securities”) for which we are obligated to third party investors and investing the proceeds from the sale of the capital securities in our junior subordinated debentures (the “debentures”). The debentures held by the trusts are their sole assets. Our subordinated debentures totaled $19,589,000 at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, and $11,341,000 June 30, 2005.

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

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

Note 9. Stock Option Plan

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

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.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

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

	For the Six Months
	Ended June 30,
	2006			2005
Risk-free interest rate		4.40	%		3.60	%
Expected dividend yield		1.25	%		1.04	%
Volatility factor		25			20
Expected life of option		8			8

There were no option grants during the first six months of 2006 or 2005. Therefore, the factors for June 30, 2006 and June 30, 2005 are consistent with amounts reported in our 2005 Annual Report and 2004 Annual Report, respectively.

During first six months of 2006, we recognized $13,234 of compensation expense for share-based payment arrangements in our income statement, with a deferred tax asset of $5,000. At June 30, 2006, we had approximately $31,000 total compensation cost related to nonvested awards not yet recognized and we expect to recognize it over the next three years.

The following pro forma disclosures present for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2005, our reported net income and basic and diluted earnings per share had we recognized compensation expense for our Officer Stock Option Plan based on the grant date fair values of the options (the fair value method described in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123). For purposes of computing the pro forma amounts, we estimated the fair value of the options at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. For purposes of the pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized to expense over the options’ vesting period.

Note 10. Commitments and Contingencies

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

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

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

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

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

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

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

Note 11. Restrictions on Capital

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

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require us and each of our subsidiaries to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier I capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). We believe, as of June 30, 2006, that we and each of our subsidiaries met all capital adequacy requirements to which they were subject.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and

Results of Operations

INTRODUCTION

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

This quarterly 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.

OVERVIEW

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

Strong growth in our interest earning assets resulted in an increase of 17.41%, or $2,681,000, in our net interest earnings on a tax equivalent basis for the first six months in 2006 compared to the same period of 2005. Our mortgage banking segment contributed $324,000 to our first six months 2006 earnings compared to $982,000 for the comparable period of 2005, as we experienced a sharp decline in mortgage loan originations during second quarter 2006.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

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

Summit Financial Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and

Results of Operations

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

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

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

BUSINESS SEGMENT RESULTS

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Earnings Summary

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2006 grew 1.41% to $5,605,000, or $0.78 per diluted share as compared to $5,527,000, or $0.77 per diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2005. For the quarter ended June 30, 2006, net income declined 15.47% to $2,634,000 from the $3,116,000 net income for the second quarter 2005. Returns on average equity and assets for the first six months of 2005 were 14.53% and 0.98%, respectively, compared with 16.41% and 1.21% for the same period of 2005.

Net Interest Income

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

Our net interest income on a fully tax-equivalent basis totaled $18,084,000 for the six months period ended June 30, 2006 compared to $15,403,000 for the same period of 2005, representing an increase of $2,681,000 or 17.41%. This increase resulted from growth in interest earning assets, primarily loans, which served to more than offset the 126 basis points increase in the cost of interest bearing liabilities during the same period. Average interest earning assets grew 25.91% from $863,634,000 during the first six months of 2005 to $1,087,366,000 for the first six months of 2006. Average interest bearing liabilities grew 27.12% from $780,807,000 at June 30, 2005 to $992,532,000 at June 30, 2006 at an average yield for the first six months of 2006 of 4.12% compared to 2.86% for the same period of 2005.

Our net yield on interest earning assets decreased to 3.35% for the six month period ended June 30, 2006, compared to 3.60% for the same period in 2005. On a quarterly basis, our net interest margin declined to 3.32% at June 30, 2006, from 3.39% for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. The positive impact to net interest income of our growth in interest earning assets was somewhat offset by lower net interest margin due to increased cost of interest bearing liabilities, which tend to move more proportionately with rate increases by the Fed. The yields on earning assets increased only 94 basis points, while the cost of our interest bearing funds increased by 126 basis points.

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

Total noninterest income decreased to $7,054,000 for the second quarter of 2006, compared to $8,215,000 for the same period of 2005 due to a sharp decline in mortgage origination revenue. Mortgage origination revenue declined to $5,945,000 for the second quarter of 2006, compared to $7,113,000 for the same period of 2005. This revenue includes mortgage loan origination and sales activity conducted through Summit Mortgage. Further detail regarding noninterest income is reflected in the following table. Also, refer to Note 12 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements for our segment information.

Insurance commissions: These commissions increased 5.1% for second quarter 2006 over second quarter 2005 and 24.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to the same period of 2005 primarily due to Summit Insurance Services, LLC, which offers both commercial and personal lines of insurance.

Service fees: Total service fees increased 11.5% for the second quarter of 2006 compared to the same period of 2005 and 13.2% for the first six months of 2006 compared to the same period of 2005. These increases were primarily attributable to an increase in overdraft and nonsufficient funds (NSF) fees due to increased overdrafts by customers.

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

Loan originations in the second quarter of 2006 were $67.1 million, a decline of 8.0 percent from the linked quarter and 19.7 percent from the prior-year second quarter. We believe that several factors have contributed to this business segment’s slowdown, including changes in the legal environment within the industry, increased competition in the overall market for the types of mortgage products offered by Summit Mortgage, and the payment of legal expenses arising from legal compliance reviews and litigation defense.

In addition, Summit Mortgage suspended its direct mailings during the second quarter of 2006, to residents of Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin, one of its strongest performing markets. Mailings were also briefly suspended in all other states, from late May until early June, 2006. Suspension of these mailings enabled Summit Mortgage to assess several recent federal court decisions concerning the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), a federal law which prescribes the legal requirements its prescreened offers of credit must meet, and two lawsuits which were filed against the company. Management believes, based on advice from legal counsel, that its mailings fully complied with all applicable legal requirements, including those of the FCRA. Summit Mortgage has also developed a new uniform mailer that it believes complies with the evolving standards in all jurisdictions where it does business. While initial response to the revised mailer was poor, recent indications are that its response rate has improved significantly following further modification. However, even with improving response rates, due to the length of this business segment’s production-sales cycle, management reasonably expects this business segment’s third quarter 2006 results to be equally as or more unprofitable than second quarter 2006.

Other: Other income decreased 35.5% for the second quarter of 2006 and 14.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to the same respective periods of 2005. Our increase in debit card and ATM income due to increased card usage by customers was more than offset by decreases in both financial services revenue and derivative income.

Noninterest Expense

Total noninterest expense increased approximately $2,159,000, or 10.3% to $23,089,000 during the first six months of 2006 as compared to the same period in 2005 and $696,000 or 6.4% for second quarter 2006 compared to second quarter 2005. The primary factors contributing to growth in noninterest expense were 1) an increase in postage expense due to the postal service rate increase and 2) an increase in professional fees, as a result of increased legal expenses arising from legal compliance reviews and litigation defense. Table III below shows the breakdown of these increases by segment. Also, refer to Note 12 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements for our segment information.

Community Banking, Parent and Other Segments

Total noninterest expense for our community banking segment, parent, and other increased $777,000, or 16.1% for the second quarter of 2006, compared to the same period of 2005 and $1,605,000, or 17.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2006 versus the same period of 2005. The major factors contributing to these increases follow.

Summit Financial Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and

Results of Operations

Salaries and employee benefits: Salaries and employee benefits expense increased 11.7% and 16.4% for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 and the six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, due to additional staffing requirements needed as a result of our growth, including opening a new community banking office in Warrenton, Virginia in mid-2005 and one in Martinsburg, West Virginia during second quarter 2006. Also included in this increase are general merit raises.

Other: Other expenses increased 25.1% for second quarter 2006 compared to second quarter 2005, and 26.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to the same period of 2005. These increases include $60,000 of losses in fraudulent checks.

Mortgage Banking Segment

Total noninterest expense for our mortgage banking segment decreased 1.3% for the second quarter of 2006 over the same period of 2005. These expenses increased $554,000 or 4.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to the same period of 2005.

Salaries and employee benefits: The decrease of $858,000 in salaries and employee benefits for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 and $784,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 is comprised primarily of 1) lower loan officer commissions paid due to decreased loan production and 2) a decrease in profitability based incentive compensation paid to Summit Mortgage management.

Net occupancy expense: Net occupancy expense increased 47.5% for the second quarter 2006 compared to the same period of 2005 and 47.1% for the first six months of 2006 compared to comparable period of 2005 due to the relocation of our Summit Mortgage headquarters to Chesapeake, Virginia in late 2005.

Professional fees: Professional fees increased 208.9% for the second quarter 2006, compared to the second quarter 2005, and 149.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to the same period of 2005. This increase is primarily attributable to increased legal expenses arising from legal compliance reviews and litigation defense.

Postage: The increase in postage expense of $273,000 and $506,000 for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, was the result of 1) a 10% increase in the number of direct mail pieces mailed and 2) a rate increase by the US Postal Service.

Credit Experience

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

We recorded an $875,000 provision for loan losses for the first six months of 2006, compared to $755,000 for the same period in 2005. Net loan charge offs for the first six months of 2006 were $233,000, as compared to $131,000 over the same period of 2005. At June 30, 2006, the allowance for loan losses totaled $6,794,000 or 0.77% of loans, both portfolio and held for sale, net of unearned income, compared to $6,152,000 or 0.75% at December 31, 2005. Our asset quality remains sound. As illustrated in Table IV below, our non-performing assets and loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest have decreased during the past 12 months, and still remain at a historically moderate level.

LIQUIDITY

Liquidity reflects our ability to ensure the availability of adequate funds to meet loan commitments and deposit withdrawals, as well as provide for other transactional requirements. Liquidity is provided primarily by funds invested in cash and due from banks, Federal funds sold, non-pledged securities, and available lines of credit with the FHLB, the total of which approximated $184 million, or 15.6% of total assets at June 30, 2006 versus $125 million, or 11.3% of total assets at December 31, 2005.

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

CAPITAL RESOURCES

One of our continuous goals is maintenance of a strong capital position. Through management of our capital resources, we seek to provide an attractive financial return to our shareholders while retaining sufficient capital to support future growth. Shareholders’ equity at June 30, 2006 totaled $76,559,000 compared to $73,803,000 at December 31, 2005.

During second quarter 2006, our Board of Directors declared and paid the first half 2006 cash dividend of $0.16 per share compared to $0.14 paid for the first half of 2005. The first half 2006 dividend totaled $1,141,619, representing a 14.58% increase over the $996,333 paid during the first half 2005.

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

On August 8, 2006, theBoard of Directors authorized the open market repurchase of up to 225,000 shares (approximately 3%) of the issued and outstanding shares of Summit’s common stock. The timing and quantity of purchases under this stock repurchase plan will be at the discretion of management, and the plan may be discontinued, or suspended and reinitiated, at any time. All shares acquired under the plan will be retired. Management believes, depending on market and business conditions, the stock repurchase plan should enhance the value of its common stock for the benefit of the Company’s shareholders and have no material adverse impact on our capital resources.

CONTRACTUAL CASH OBLIGATIONS

During our normal course of business, we incur contractual cash obligations. The following table summarizes our contractual cash obligations at June 30, 2006.

MARKET RISK MANAGEMENT

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

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

Some amount of interest rate risk is inherent and appropriate to the banking business. Our net income is affected by changes in the absolute level of interest rates. Our interest rate risk position is slightly liability sensitive in year one, with asset sensitivity over the longer period. That is, in the first year, liabilities are likely to reprice faster than assets, resulting in a decrease in net income in a rising rate and environment, and beyond the first year, assets are likely to reprice faster than liabilities, resulting in an increase in net income in a rising rate environment. Our net income would increase modestly 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 our earnings due to the compression of earning asset yields and funding rates, while a steepening would result in increased earnings as margins widen.

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

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have conducted as of June 30, 2006, an evaluation of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e). Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2006 were effective. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2006 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II. Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

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

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

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

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

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

On January 4, 2006, Mary Forrest, an individual, filed suit in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin, Milwaukee Division, against our subsidiary, Shenandoah Valley National Bank (“Shenandoah”).

On August 9, 2006, the Board of Directors of Summit Financial Group, Inc. (the “Company”) adopted amendments to the Company’s Bylaws to bring the Company’s Bylaws into compliance with the West Virginia Business Corporation Act, which was amended in 2002. A description of the provisions that were adopted or changed by amendment is set forth below. In addition, a complete copy of the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws is filed as Exhibit 3.2 and incorporated herein by reference.

Article II Section 10	This section was revised to incorporate the provisions in the West Virginia Code dealing with the corporation’s acceptance of votes where the name signed on the vote does not correspond to the name of the shareholder. This section now reads as follows: “If the name signed on a vote, consent, waiver or proxy does not correspond to the name of a shareholder, the corporation is entitled to accept such vote, consent, waiver or proxy and give it effect as the act of the shareholder if: (a) the shareholder is an entity and the name signed purports to be that of an officer or agent of the entity; (b) the name signed purports to be that of an administrator, executor, guardian or conservator representing the shareholder and, if the corporation requests, evidence of this status acceptable to the corporation has been presented; (c) the name signed purports to be that of a receiver or trustee in bankruptcy of the shareholder and, if the corporation requests, evidence of this status acceptable to the corporation has been presented; (d) the name signed purports to be that of a pledgee, beneficial owner or attorney-in-fact of the shareholder and, if the corporation requests, evidence acceptable to the corporation of the signatory’s authority to sign for the shareholder has been presented; and (e) two or more persons are shareholders as co-tenants or fiduciaries and the name signed purports to be the name of at least one of the co-tenants or fiduciaries and the person signing appears to be acting on behalf of all co-tenants or fiduciaries. The corporation may reject a vote, consent, waiver or proxy if the secretary or other officer authorized to tabulate votes, acting in good faith, has reasonable basis for doubt as to the validity of the signature or the signatory’s authority to sign for the shareholder.”
