    Summit also reported that its common stock will begin trading on
The Nasdaq SmallCap Market on January 31, 2005. The Company's trading
symbol of 'SMMF' will remain unchanged.
    H. Charles Maddy, III, President and Chief Executive Officer
commented, "We are pleased to report another record year of net income
growth - our 17th consecutive year. Both of our business segments
performed very well this past year. The high-growth markets that we
pursue continue to provide us with opportunities for our community
banks. This past quarter, we merged our two West Virginia banks into
Summit Community Bank to take advantage of operating efficiencies. We
see excellent upside in our Virginia markets, combined with continuing
stability in West Virginia. The new branch we opened this past quarter
in Harrisonburg, Virginia, one of our strongest markets, will
contribute to this growth.
    "2004 was our first full year of mortgage banking operations, and
the growth in this segment has been exceptional. After an expected
weak fourth quarter, our pipeline has begun to strengthen as we enter
2005, and we continue to improve efficiencies as we mature. We enter
the new year with a favorable outlook for both our business segments.
    "We are committed to enhancing shareholder value through financial
performance and improved liquidity of our stock. Our two-for-one stock
distribution during the fourth quarter of 2004, combined with listing
on The Nasdaq SmallCap Market at the end of this month, should
continue to enhance the value of Summit Financial Group."

    Fourth Quarter and Fiscal 2004 Consolidated Results

    Revenue for fiscal year 2004, consisting of net interest income
plus non-interest income, was $55.0 million, an increase of 86.4
percent over 2003. Net interest income increased 17.2 percent to $27.8
million, reflecting 16.1 percent growth in average earning assets
combined with a three basis point increase in the net interest margin
to 3.66 percent; Summit has maintained a stable net interest margin
across varying interest rate environments. Non-interest income for
2004 was $27.3 million compared with $5.8 million for 2003, an
increase of 367.9 percent. Excluding gains from the sale of securities
in both years and from gains on asset sales of $336,000 in 2003,
non-interest income increased 416.5 percent to $27.2 million. This
increase primarily reflects the operations of the Company's mortgage
banking unit, Summit Financial, LLC, which commenced operations during
the third quarter of 2003 and is discussed below.
    Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2004 was $13.7 million, an
increase of 36.1 percent over the $10.0 million reported for the
prior-year quarter. Net interest income grew 14.6 percent for the
quarter to $7.3 million, reflecting 14.6 percent growth in earning
assets and an unchanged net interest margin, at 3.69 percent.
Non-interest income increased 73.8 percent to $6.3 million. The
largest component of this increase was mortgage banking revenue.
    Non-interest expense for fiscal 2004 was $38.8 million, a $21.9
million or 129.7 percent increase over the $16.9 million reported for
2003. The majority of the increase is associated with the full-year
inclusion of operations in 2004 of Summit Financial, LLC. Fiscal year
2003 results also included a $164,000 non-cash charitable
contribution. The efficiency ratio was 68.33 percent for 2004 compared
with 55.07 percent for 2003. The efficiency ratio for the Company's
Community Banking Segment, shown below, is a more accurate indicator
of its performance compared with other community banks.
    Non-interest expense for the fourth quarter of 2004 was $10.0
million, a 58.8 percent increase over the $6.3 million reported for
the prior-year 2003 quarter. The increase again reflected the
operations of Summit Financial, LLC. Summit's consolidated efficiency
ratio for the fourth quarter of 2004 was 70.50 percent compared with
61.85 percent for the prior-year fourth quarter.
    Asset quality remains strong. Charge-offs were $657,000 for the
year, equivalent to 0.11 percent of average loans. Nonperforming
assets were 0.18 percent of assets at December 31, 2004, compared with
0.30 percent at September 30, 2004 and 0.28 percent twelve months ago.
At period-end, loan loss reserves were 0.83 percent of loans.
    Assets at December 31, 2004 were $889.5 million, an increase of
12.4 percent over the last twelve months. The increase was driven by
loan growth of $104.8 million, up 20.8 percent to $607.8 million;
commercial real estate loans, up 33.5 percent, and residential
mortgage loans, up 14.0 percent, were the largest contributors to this
growth. Deposits increased $12.8 million, or 2.5 percent, to $524.6
million. To support its strong loan growth, the Company increased
short term borrowings by $70.9 million, to $120.6 million.
    Shareholders' equity at period end was $65.7 million, an increase
of 14.9 percent over the last twelve months. During the fourth
quarter, the Company distributed a two-for-one stock split in the form
of a stock dividend. Common shares outstanding totaled 7,039,540 at
year end 2004.

    FOURTH QUARTER AND 2004 OPERATING SEGMENT RESULTS

    Community Banking Financial Performance

    The Community Banking segment achieved net income for fiscal year
2004 of $9.7 million, up 13.2 percent from $8.5 million in 2003. Total
revenue increased 14.6 percent to $30.4 million, reflecting strong
growth in net interest income and in service fee income. Net interest
income benefited from strong growth in commercial real estate loans.
Non-interest expense grew 15.5 percent to $15.5 million. The
efficiency ratio for the Community Banking segment was 52.13 percent
compared with last year's efficiency ratio of 50.25 percent.
    Net income for the fourth quarter of 2004 was $2.5 million,
relatively unchanged from the prior-year fourth quarter. Total revenue
increased 8.8% to $8.1 million, while non-interest expense increased
16.3 percent to $4.2 million due to one-time costs associated with the
merger of Capital State into Summit Community Bank, and the opening of
the de novo Harrisonburg, Virginia branch. The Community Banking
segment's efficiency ratio was 52.70 percent compared with 49.23
percent for the 2003 period.

    Mortgage Banking Financial Performance

    The Company's mortgage banking unit, Summit Financial, LLC,
commenced operations during the third quarter of 2003. This segment
originates first mortgages in the Company's community banking markets
and debt consolidation second mortgage loans for borrowers nationwide.
Loan originations in the fourth quarter of 2004 were impacted by
seasonal factors and a change in product mix, which tempered this
unit's profitability.
    Net income for the fiscal year 2004 was $1.8 million compared to
$95,000 for 2003. In its first full year of operation, the mortgage
company originated $261.0 million in loans and sold $251.4 million.
Revenue totaled $24.8 million compared with $3.2 million in 2003.
Non-interest expense was $22.0 million, compared with $3.1 million in
