    MOOREFIELD, W.Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 22, 2003--Summit
Financial Group, Inc. (OTCBB: SMMF) today reported third quarter 2003
GAAP net income of $1,843,000 or $0.52 per diluted share, down 3.7
percent on an earnings per share basis from the $1,923,000, or $0.54
per diluted share, reported in the third quarter of 2002. Net income
for the third quarter generated an annualized return on average
shareholders' equity of 13.36% and an annualized return on average
assets of 1.02% compared to third quarter ratios of 15.62% and 1.20%,
respectively, in the prior year.
    Operating earnings, which exclude the impact of nonrecurring
income and expense items, for third quarter 2003 were $1,797,000 or
$0.51 per diluted share, down 5.6 percent on an earnings per share
basis compared to operating earnings of $1,917,000 or $0.54 per
diluted share for third quarter 2002. Summit's third quarter 2003
results, excluding nonrecurring items, produced an annualized return
on average shareholders' equity of 13.02% and an annualized return on
average assets of 0.99%, compared to prior year ratios of 15.56% and
1.19%, respectively. Nonrecurring items consisted principally of gains
and losses realized on securities transactions and other significant
transactional gains and losses.
    GAAP net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 was
$5,716,000, or $1.61 per diluted share, up 9.5 percent on an earnings
per share basis compared to $5,194,000 or $1.47 per diluted share for
the same period of 2002. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003
operating earnings excluding one time income and expense items were
$5,605,000 or $1.58 per diluted share, up 8.2 percent on an earnings
per share basis, as compared to the $5,148,000 or $1.46 per diluted
share for the same period of 2002.
    In third quarter 2003, Summit organized and established Summit
Financial, LLC ("SFLLC") as a wholly owned subsidiary of Shenandoah
Valley National Bank. SFLLC, headquartered in Herndon, Virginia, will
originate for resale: 1) primarily residential second mortgage debt
consolidation loans to customers throughout the United States marketed

loans to borrowers in northern Virginia. SFLLC incurred a net loss of
$135,000 (net of income tax benefit of $70,000) during third quarter
2003, which is included in Summit's consolidated earnings. Management
anticipates that SFLLC will achieve break even results during fourth
quarter 2003, and will contribute to the Company's earnings beginning
in first quarter 2004.
