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.

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

During  1998,  South  Branch  applied  for  and on  January  25,  1999  received
preliminary approval from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency to begin
organizing a new subsidiary bank, Shenandoah Valley National Bank, to be located
in Winchester, Virginia. Shenandoah Valley National Bank was granted its charter
on May 14,  1999 and was  initially  capitalized  with $4  million,  funded by a
special dividend in the amount of $3 million from the Company's subsidiary bank,
South Branch Valley  National Bank, and from a $1 million term loan from Potomac
Valley  Bank.  Shenandoah  Valley  National  Bank opened for business on May 17,
1999.  Start-up  costs  totaling  $89,998  related to the  organization  of this
Institution were expensed during 1999.

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.

Note 9.  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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

   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
<PAGE>


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
<PAGE>


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:

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
<PAGE>


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.
