         Summit Financial Group Reports 16.5% Increase in Q2 Net Income


    MOOREFIELD, W.Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 20, 2005--Summit
Financial Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: SMMF) today reported second quarter
2005 net income of $3.1 million, an increase of 16.5 percent from the
$2.7 million reported for the second quarter of 2004. Diluted earnings
per share were $0.43 compared with $0.38 for the prior-year quarter,
up 13.2 percent. The increase reflects solid growth in revenue, both
from community banking and mortgage banking activities, as well as
controlled expense growth. For the second quarter of 2005, the returns
on average shareholders' equity and average assets were 18.21 percent
1.34 percent, respectively, compared with prior-year period ratios of
17.96 percent and 1.29 percent.
    For the six months ended June 30, 2005, Summit reported net income
of $5.5 million, an increase of 7.8 percent from the $5.1 million
reported for the first six months of 2004. Diluted earnings per share
were $0.77 compared with $0.72 for the prior-year period, up 6.9
percent. The increase reflects strong revenue growth, both from
community banking and mortgage banking activities, partially offset by
higher costs associated with expansion activities. For the first six
months of 2005, the returns on average shareholders' equity and
average assets were 16.41 percent and 1.21 percent, respectively,
compared with prior-year period ratios of 17.31 percent and 1.26
percent.
    H. Charles Maddy, III, President and Chief Executive Officer,
commented, "We are pleased to report strong growth in net income on
both a year-over-year and a sequential quarter basis. Both segments of
our business are generating strong revenue growth. Community banking
is growing at a solid pace, mainly from the recent investments we have
made to expand our Virginia franchise. We recently opened our sixth
branch in Virginia, and we are quite optimistic about opportunities
going forward. We are experiencing very strong commercial loan
production from a combination of the robust Virginia economy and the
success of the talented bankers that we have placed in key positions.
    "We have been more proactive in terms of deposit growth, and the
results have been gratifying. As a result of retail campaigns to
promote our high yield interest-bearing checking product, we are
experiencing stronger deposit growth than in 2004, which has helped to
control funding costs. We are pleased that our net interest margin has
remained within a tight 10 basis point band throughout the past 12
months. Non-interest expenses have also remained under control.

    SECOND QUARTER 2005 CONSOLIDATED RESULTS

    Total revenue for the second quarter of 2005, consisting of net
interest income plus non-interest income, was $15.8 million, an
increase of 11.2 percent over the second quarter of 2004. Net interest
income for the quarter increased 11.9 percent above the prior-year
second quarter, to $7.6 million, reflecting 12.5 percent growth in
average earning assets, partially offset by a 3 basis point drop in
the net interest margin to 3.61 percent. Compared with first quarter
2005, the net interest margin improved 2 basis points.
    Non-interest income for the second quarter of 2005 was $8.2
million compared with $7.4 million for the prior-year period, an
increase of 10.5 percent, reflecting improvement in all categories.
The majority of the increase reflects a $0.5 million or 7.5 percent
improvement in mortgage origination revenue from the Company's
mortgage banking unit, Summit Mortgage (formerly known as Summit
Financial, LLC), which is discussed below. Service fees and "other
income" also demonstrated strong growth, up 15.8 percent and 86.6
percent, respectively, above last year's second quarter.
    Non-interest expense for the second quarter of 2005 was $10.9
million, a 7.0 percent increase over the $10.2 million reported for
the second quarter of 2004. Salaries and employee benefits represented
the largest category of expense growth, up $654 thousand or 13.8
percent. The efficiency ratio was 66.98 percent for the second quarter
of 2005 compared with 69.61 percent for the prior-year period. (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.)
    Asset quality remains strong. Charge-offs were $44,000 for the
second quarter of 2005, equivalent to an annualized 0.03 percent of
average loans. Nonperforming assets were $2.2 million or 0.23 percent
of assets at June 30, 2005, down from $2.4 million or 0.29 percent at
June 30, 2004. At period-end, loan loss reserves were 0.83 percent of
loans.
    Assets at June 30, 2005 were $946.5 million, an increase of 11.4
percent over the last twelve months. The increase was driven by
portfolio loan growth of $100.0 million, up 17.9 percent to $659.9
million. Commercial real estate loans, up $77.5 million or 30.9
percent, were the largest contributors to this growth.
    Deposits at June 30, 2005 were $565.2 million, an increase of
$28.6 million, or 5.3 percent from prior-year second quarter levels.
Year-to-date, deposits grew $40.6 million, or 7.7 percent, with total
demand deposits up $31.1 million or 17.5 percent. For the 2005
six-month period, noninterest-bearing deposits rose $7.8 million, or
14.1 percent, while interest-bearing demand deposits rose $23.3
million, or 19.0%. The growth in demand deposits improved the deposit
mix, with demand deposits now accounting for 37.0 percent of total
deposits compared with 33.9 percent at year-end 2004. Growth in
lower-cost demand deposits helped to limit the growth of short-term
borrowings in the first half of 2004, and mitigate their cost. Over
the past twelve months, short-term borrowings grew by $56.6 million to
$128.0 million; of that total, only $7.3 million occurred in the first
half of this year.
    Shareholders' equity at period end was $69.8 million, an increase
of 18.4 percent over the last twelve months. Common shares outstanding
totaled 7,123,820 at June 30, 2005.
