Prospectus of Summit Financial Group, Inc. Proxy Statement of Greater Atlantic Financial Corp.

MERGER PROPOSAL - YOUR VOTE IS VERY IMPORTANT

You are cordially invited to attend the special meeting of the shareholders of Greater Atlantic Financial Corp. (“Greater Atlantic”) to be held on Tuesday, March 25, 2008, at 10:00 a.m., Eastern Standard Time, at the Crowne Plaza Tysons Corner, 1960 Chain Bridge Road, McLean, Virginia. At the special meeting, you will be asked to approve the proposed merger of Greater Atlantic and Summit Financial Group, Inc. (“Summit”). In the merger, you will receive a combination of cash and shares of Summit common stock for each share of Greater Atlantic common stock that you own, subject to a “stock collar” limiting the maximum and minimum number of shares Summit will issue. The stock collar is described more fully below. Subject to the stock collar, the total consideration for your Greater Atlantic stock will be paid 70% in the form of Summit common stock and 30% in cash, with each share of Greater Atlantic common stock exchanged for shares of Summit common stock valued at $4.20 and $1.80 in cash. The number of shares of Summit common stock that you will receive for each share of Greater Atlantic common stock you own will be determined by the exchange ratio at closing.

At the closing, we will determine the exchange ratio by dividing $4.20 by the average closing price of Summit common stock reported on the NASDAQ Capital Market for the twenty (20) trading days prior to closing (the “Average Closing Price”). The exchange ratio is subject to a stock collar, which sets the maximum and minimum numbers of shares that Summit will issue. If the Average Closing Price of Summit common stock is less than $17.82, the exchange ratio will be calculated by dividing $4.20 by $17.82. If the Average Closing Price is greater than $24.10, the exchange ratio will be calculated by dividing $4.20 by $24.10. Thus, for each share of Greater Atlantic common stock that you own, you will receive $1.80 in cash and at least 0.1743 shares of Summit common stock, but no more than 0.2357 shares of Summit common stock, based on an exchange ratio as described in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus. A chart on page 37 under “The Merger - Merger Consideration” provides examples of the value of the transaction to shareholders of Greater Atlantic at selected Average Closing Prices of Summit common stock. Cash will be paid instead of issuing fractional shares of Summit common stock.

We expect the merger to be tax-free with respect to the shares of Summit common stock that you receive. You may have to recognize income or gain for tax purposes for the cash you receive in the merger.

The merger proposal is described in this proxy statement/prospectus. We encourage you to read this entire document carefully, including the “Risk Factors” section beginning on page 13.

Your board of directors recommends that you vote for the merger. We need your vote to complete the merger. Whether or not you plan to attend the special meeting, please complete, sign and date the enclosed proxy card and return it promptly in the enclosed envelope. If you neither return your card nor vote in person, or if you abstain from voting, the effect will be to vote against the merger.

You should obtain current market quotations on shares of Summit common stock, which is listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “SMMF.” Greater Atlantic common stock is quoted on the Pink Sheets under the symbol “GAFC.PK.”

TO BE HELD ON MARCH 25, 2008

YOU ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED of and invited to attend the special meeting of shareholders of Greater Atlantic Financial Corp., a Delaware corporation, to be held on Tuesday, March 25, 2008, at 10:00 a.m. at the Crowne Plaza Tysons Corner, 1960 Chain Bridge Road, McLean, Virginia, for the purpose of considering and voting upon the following:

A proposal to approve and adopt the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated as of April 12, 2007, as amended on December 6, 2007, by and between Greater Atlantic Financial Corp.

In this proxy statement/prospectus, we refer to the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, as amended, as the merger agreement. The merger agreement provides that Greater Atlantic will merge with and into a subsidiary of Summit, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the merger agreement, as more fully described in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus. In the merger, among other things, each share of Greater Atlantic common stock will be converted into and become the right to receive a combination of $1.80 in cash and shares of Summit common stock based on an exchange ratio, subject to adjustment as further described in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus. Cash will be paid instead of issuing fractional shares of Summit common stock.

A proposal to adjourn the meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation of proxies in the event there are not sufficient votes at the time of the meeting to approve the matters to be considered by the shareholders at the meeting, as more fully described in the accompanying proxy statement prospectus.

Our board of directors has determined that the terms of the merger are advisable and in the best interests of Greater Atlantic and our shareholders, has approved and adopted the merger agreement, and unanimously recommends that our shareholders vote “FOR” the approval and adoption of the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby.

Our board of directors has fixed the close of business on February 20, 2008, as the record date for determination of our shareholders entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the special meeting. A list of shareholders entitled to vote will be available at 10700 Parkridge Boulevard, Suite P50, Reston, Virginia 20191, for ten (10) days before the meeting and will also be available for inspection at the meeting. The meeting may be adjourned or postponed from time to time upon approval of our shareholders without any notice other than by announcement at the special meeting of the adjournment or postponement thereof, and any and all business for which notice is hereby given may be transacted at such adjourned or postponed special meeting.

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock entitled to vote at the special meeting is required to approve and adopt the merger agreement. Please complete, date, sign and promptly return the enclosed proxy card, which is solicited by your board of directors, in the enclosed envelope, whether or not you expect to attend the special meeting. You may revoke the proxy at any time before its exercise by delivering to us a written notice of revocation, by delivering to us a duly executed proxy card bearing a later date or by voting in person at the special meeting.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE MERGER

Q:	What will shareholders be voting on at the special meeting?

A:	Shareholders will be voting on a proposal to approve and adopt the merger agreement between Greater Atlantic and Summit and the transactions contemplated thereby.

Shareholders will also consider any other matters that may properly come before the meeting.

Q:	Why is Greater Atlantic proposing the merger?

We believe the proposed merger is in the best interests of Greater Atlantic and its shareholders. Our board of directors believes that combining with Summit provides significant value to our shareholders and provides those shareholders the option to participate in the opportunities for growth offered by the combined company.

You should review the reasons for the merger described in greater detail under the caption “The Merger - Background of the Merger; Board Recommendations and Reasons for the Merger” beginning on page 42.

Q:	When and where is the shareholder meeting?

A:	The special meeting is scheduled to take place on Tuesday, March 25, 2008, at 10:00 a.m., local time, at the Crowne Plaza Tysons Corner, 1960 Chain Bridge Road, McLean, Virginia.

Q:	What does the Greater Atlantic board of directors recommend?

A:	The Greater Atlantic board of directors has approved the merger agreement. The Greater Atlantic board unanimously recommends that shareholders vote “FOR” the proposal to approve the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby.

Q: What will Greater Atlantic shareholders receive for their stock?

For each share of Greater Atlantic common stock that you own, you will receive a combination of $1.80 in cash and shares of Summit common stock based on an exchange ratio, subject to a “stock collar” or a limit on the maximum and minimum number of shares Summit will issue. The stock collar is described more fully below. Subject to the stock collar, the total consideration for your Greater Atlantic stock will be paid in the form of 70% in Summit common stock and 30% in cash as follows (referred to in this proxy statement/prospectus as the “merger consideration”):

(1)

$1.80 cash; and

(2)

the number of shares of Summit Stock equal to $4.20 divided by the average closing price of Summit Stock reported on the NASDAQ Capital Market for the twenty (20) trading days prior to the closing.

Table of Contents

which sets the maximum and minimum numbers of shares that Summit will issue. If the Average Closing Price of Summit common stock is less than $17.82, the exchange ratio will be calculated by dividing $4.20 by $17.82. If the Average Closing Price is greater than $24.10, the exchange ratio will be calculated by dividing $4.20 by $24.10. Thus, for each share of Greater Atlantic common stock that you own, you will receive $1.80 in cash and at least 0.1743 shares of Summit common stock, but no more than 0.2357 shares of Summit common stock, based on the exchange ratio. Cash will be paid instead of issuing fractional shares of Summit common stock. A chart on page 37 under “The Merger - Merger Consideration” provides examples of the value of the transaction to shareholders of Greater Atlantic at selected Average Closing Prices of Summit common stock.

Q: How will I receive my shares of Summit common stock and cash?

The exchange agent will mail transmittal forms to each Greater Atlantic shareholder within five (5) business days after completion of the merger. You should complete the transmittal form and return it to the exchange agent as soon as possible. Once the exchange agent has received the proper documentation, it will forward to you the cash and shares of Summit common stock to which you are entitled.

Shareholders will not receive any fractional shares of Summit common stock. Instead, they will receive cash, without interest, for any fractional share of Summit common stock that they might otherwise have been entitled to receive based on the market value of the Summit common stock on the date that the merger occurs.

Q: How do I exchange my Greater Atlantic stock certificates?

If the merger is completed, the exchange agent will send Greater Atlantic shareholders written instructions for exchanging their stock certificates. You will be asked to return your Greater Atlantic stock certificates, and shortly after the merger, the exchange agent will allocate cash and Summit common stock among Greater Atlantic shareholders. In any event, you should not forward your Greater Atlantic certificates with your proxy card.

Q:	What should I do if my shares of Greater Atlantic are held by my broker or otherwise in “street name?”

If you hold your shares of Greater Atlantic common stock in “street name” (i.e., your bank or broker holds your shares for you), you should receive instructions regarding exchange procedures directly from your bank or broker. If you have any questions regarding these procedures, you should contact your bank or broker directly, or you may contact Summit or Greater Atlantic at the addresses or telephone numbers listed on page 70.

Q: When will we complete the merger?

A:	We intend to complete the merger as soon as possible after shareholder approval is received, all regulatory approvals have been obtained, and all other conditions to the closing have been satisfied or waived.

The regulatory approvals are described under “The Merger – Regulatory Approvals” beginning on page 62.

- 2 -

Table of Contents

Q: What should I do now?

A:	Mail your signed and dated proxy card in the enclosed return envelope as soon as possible so that your shares may be represented at the special meeting. It is important that the proxy card be received as soon as possible and in any event before the special meeting.

Q: Can I change my vote after I mail my proxy card?

A:	Yes. You can change your vote at any time before your proxy is voted at the special meeting. You can do this in one of three ways:

·	First, you can send a written notice stating that you revoke your proxy.

·	Second, you can complete, sign, date and submit a new proxy card.

·	Third, you can attend the special meeting and vote in person. Simply attending the special meeting, however, will not revoke your proxy.

If you choose either of the first or second methods, you must submit your notice of revocation or your new proxy card to Greater Atlantic prior to the shareholder meeting. Your submissions must be mailed to the Secretary of Greater Atlantic at the address listed on page 33.

Q:	Who will be soliciting proxies?

A:	In addition to solicitation of proxies by officers, directors and employees of Greater Atlantic, Greater Atlantic has engaged a professional proxy solicitation firm, Georgeson Inc., to assist it in soliciting proxies.

Q:	What if I do not vote or I abstain from voting?

A:	If you do not vote or you abstain from voting, your failure to vote or abstention will count as a “NO” vote on the proposal to approve and adopt the merger agreement.

Q:	If my shares are held by my broker in “street name,” will my broker vote my shares for me?

Your broker will vote your shares on the proposal to approve and adopt the merger agreement only if you provide instructions on how to vote. You should follow the directions provided by your broker to vote your shares. If you do not provide your broker with instructions on how to vote your shares held in “street name,” your broker will not be permitted to vote your shares on the proposal to approve and adopt the merger agreement, which will have the effect of a “NO” vote on the items being considered.

Q:	Will I be able to sell the shares of Summit common stock that I receive in the merger?

Yes, in most cases. The shares of Summit common stock to be issued in the merger will be registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) and listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market. However, certain shareholders who are deemed to be “affiliates” of Summit or Greater Atlantic under the Securities Act (generally, directors, executive officers and shareholders of Summit or Greater Atlantic holding 10% or more of the outstanding shares of common stock) must abide by certain transfer restrictions under the Securities Act.

Q: What are the tax consequences of the merger to me?

A:	Your tax consequences will depend on your basis in the Greater Atlantic common stock that you own. For greater detail, see “Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger” beginning on page 66.

SUMMARY

This brief summary highlights selected information from this proxy statement/prospectus and may not contain all of the information that is important to you. We urge you to carefully read the entire proxy statement/prospectus and the other documents to which this proxy statement/prospectus refers to fully understand the merger. See “Where You Can Find More Information” on page 82. Each item in this summary includes a page reference directing you to a more complete description of that item.

The Merger (page 36)

We have attached the merger agreement, as amended, to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annexes A and A-1. Please read the merger agreement. It is the legal document that governs the merger.

In the merger, Summit will acquire Greater Atlantic by means of the merger of Greater Atlantic into a subsidiary of Summit formed to facilitate the merger.

Each share of Greater Atlantic common stock outstanding will be converted in the merger into cash and shares of Summit common stock as further described below. We expect to complete the merger in the first quarter of 2008, although there can be no assurance in this regard.

Our Reasons for the Merger (page 47)

The terms of the merger agreement were the results of arm’s length negotiations between representatives of Greater Atlantic and Summit. In deciding to enter into the merger agreement, Greater Atlantic’s board of directors considered a number of factors including:

The understanding of the board of directors of the strategic options available to Greater Atlantic and the board of directors’ assessment of those options with respect to the prospects and estimated results of the execution by Greater Atlantic of its business plan as an independent entity under various scenarios, and the determination that none of those options or the execution of the business plan under the best case scenarios was likely to create greater present value for Greater Atlantic’s stockholders than the value to be paid by Summit. In particular, the board of directors considered Greater Atlantic’s ability to achieve consistent profitability as an independent entity and the prospects for adverse regulatory action if it failed to do so.

·	The ability of Greater Atlantic’s stockholders to participate in the future prospects of the combined entity through ownership of Summit common stock, and that Greater Atlantic’s shareholders would have potential value appreciation by owning the common stock of Summit.

·	Summit’s ability to continue to pay cash dividends on its common stock (Greater Atlantic has never paid cash dividends).

·	Sandler O’Neill’s written opinion that, as of April 12, 2007, and subject to the assumptions and limitations set forth in the opinion, the merger consideration was fair to Greater Atlantic’s stockholders from a financial point of view.

·	The wider array of financial products and services that would be available to customers of Greater Atlantic and the communities served by Greater Atlantic.

- 5 -

Table of Contents

·	The current and prospective economic, competitive and regulatory environment and the regulatory compliance costs facing Greater Atlantic and other similar size, independent, community banking institutions generally, including the cost of compliance with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

·	A review, with the assistance of Greater Atlantic’s financial and legal advisors, of the terms of the merger agreement, including that the merger is intended to qualify as a transaction that is generally tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

·	The results of the due diligence review of Summit.

·	The Greater Atlantic employees to be retained after the merger would have opportunities for career advancement in a larger organization.

·	The likelihood of receiving timely regulatory approval and the approval of Greater Atlantic’s stockholders and the estimated transaction and severance costs associated with the merger and payments that could be triggered upon termination of or failure to consummate the merger.

In deciding to enter into the merger agreement, Summit’s board of directors considered a number of factors, including the opportunity the merger presented to expand its presence in attractive markets in Virginia. Summit believes the acquisition of Greater Atlantic’s operations is consistent with its plan to have operations, offices and distinct capabilities in every market of its choice within its region.

What Shareholders Will Receive (page 36)

If the merger is completed, Greater Atlantic stockholders will receive a combination of cash and shares of Summit common stock for each share of Greater Atlantic common stock that is owned, subject to a “stock collar” limiting the maximum and minimum number of shares Summit will issue. The stock collar is described more fully below. Subject to the stock collar, the total consideration for the Greater Atlantic stock will be paid 70% in the form of Summit common stock and 30% in cash, with each share of Greater Atlantic common stock exchanged for shares of Summit common stock valued at $4.20 and $1.80 in cash. The number of shares of Summit common stock that each Greater Atlantic shareholder will receive for each share of Greater Atlantic common stock he or she owns will be determined by the exchange ratio at closing.

At the closing, we will determine the exchange ratio by dividing $4.20 by the average closing price of Summit common stock reported on the NASDAQ Capital Market for the twenty (20) trading days prior to closing (the “Average Closing Price”). The exchange ratio is subject to a stock collar, which sets the maximum and minimum numbers of shares that Summit will issue. If the Average Closing Price of Summit common stock is less than $17.82, the exchange ratio will be calculated by dividing $4.20 by $17.82. If the Average Closing Price is greater than $24.10, the exchange ratio will be calculated by dividing $4.20 by $24.10. Thus, for each share of Greater Atlantic common stock that is owned, each Greater Atlantic shareholder will receive $1.80 in cash and at least 0.1743 shares of Summit common stock, but no more than 0.2357 shares of Summit common stock (based on an exchange ratio). A chart on page 37 under “The Merger - Merger Consideration” provides examples of the value of the transaction to shareholders of Greater Atlantic at selected Average Closing Prices of Summit common stock.

Summit will not issue any fractional shares in the merger. Instead, you will receive cash for any fractional share of Summit common stock owed to you. The amount of cash that you will receive for any such fractional share will be calculated by multiplying the fractional share interest by the closing price of Summit common stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market on the effective date of the merger.

Table of Contents

Dissenters’ or Appraisal Rights (page 38)

Under Delaware law, Greater Atlantic stockholders may object to the merger and demand to be paid the fair value of their shares. Under Delaware law, you should know that in determining the fair value of your shares, any appreciation or depreciation resulting from the accomplishment or expectation of the merger will not be considered. To properly exercise your appraisal rights and avoid a waiver of such rights, you must not vote your shares in favor of the merger and you must follow the exact procedures required by Delaware law (see Annex B).

Resale of Summit Shares Received in the Merger (page 66)

Summit has registered the shares of its common stock to be issued in the merger under the federal securities laws. Therefore, you may sell shares that you receive in the merger without restriction even if you are considered an affiliate of Greater Atlantic or you become an affiliate of Summit. A director, executive officer or stockholder who beneficially owns 10% or more of the outstanding shares of a company is generally deemed to be an affiliate of that company.

Our Recommendation (page 35)

The Greater Atlantic board of directors believes that the merger is advisable and in the best interests of Greater Atlantic’s shareholders. Greater Atlantic’s board unanimously recommends that shareholders vote “FOR” the proposal to approve and adopt the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby.

Risk Factors (page 13)

The merger is subject to risks, some of which are summarized below. You should carefully consider these risk factors and others discussed in more detail on pages 13 through 17 in deciding whether to vote for approval of the merger agreement.

·	Summit may be unable to manage effectively the new assets it acquires;

·	changes in interest rates may adversely affect Summit’s business;

·	loss of Summit’s CEO or other executive officers could adversely affect its business;

·	Summit and its subsidiaries operate in highly competitive markets;

·	dividend payments by Summit’s subsidiaries to Summit and by Summit to its stockholders could be restricted;

·	Summit’s business is concentrated in the Eastern Panhandle and South Central regions of West Virginia and in the Shenandoah Valley and Northern Virginia, and a downturn in the local economies may adversely affect its business;

Table of Contents

·	determination of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is based upon estimates that are inherently subjective and dependent on the outcome of future events. Ultimate losses may differ from current estimates. As a result, such losses may increase significantly.

Opinion of Financial Advisor (page 49)

In approving the merger, Greater Atlantic’s board considered the opinion of its financial advisor, Sandler O’Neill & Partners, L.P., as to the fairness from a financial point of view of the consideration to be paid by Summit in the merger as of April 12, 2007, as updated February 15, 2008. We have attached this opinion to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex C. You should read this opinion completely to understand the assumptions made, matters considered and limitations of the review undertaken by Sandler O’Neill & Partners, L.P. in providing its opinion.

Accounting Treatment (page 66)

The merger will be accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.

Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences (page 66)

A holder of Greater Atlantic common stock who exchanges his or her Greater Atlantic common stock actually owned for a combination of cash and common stock of Summit will recognize income or gain in an amount equal to the lesser of (a) the amount of cash received, or (b) the gain realized on the exchange. The gain realized on the exchange will equal the fair market value of Summit common stock received plus the amount of cash received, less the holder’s adjusted tax basis in the shares of Greater Atlantic common stock exchanged by the holder. No loss may be recognized by a holder of Greater Atlantic common stock from the combined distribution of cash and Summit common stock or the stock distribution. You should consult your own tax advisor for a full understanding of the merger’s tax consequences that are particular to you. You will not be obligated to exchange your shares of Greater Atlantic common stock unless Greater Atlantic receives a legal opinion that the merger will be treated for federal income tax purposes as a merger within the meaning of Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code. This opinion, however, will not bind the Internal Revenue Service, which could take a different view.

Shareholders will also be required to file certain information with their federal income tax returns and to retain certain records with regard to the merger.

The discussion of United States federal income tax consequences set forth above is for general information only and does not purport to be a complete analysis or listing of all potential tax effects that may apply to a holder of Greater Atlantic common stock. Shareholders of Greater Atlantic are strongly urged to consult their tax advisors to determine the particular tax consequences to them of the merger, including the application and effect of federal, state, local, foreign and other tax laws.

The record date for the meeting is the close of business on February 20, 2008. On that date, Greater Atlantic had 3,024,220 shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote. Only stockholders of record at the close of business on the record date will be entitled to vote at the meeting and any adjournment. You can cast one vote for each share of Greater Atlantic common stock that you owned on that date.

The approval of the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of Greater Atlantic’s outstanding shares entitled to vote at the

special meeting. As of February 20, 2008, Greater Atlantic’s directors and executive officers, and their affiliates, held 301,759 shares of Greater Atlantic common stock, which represents approximately 9.98% of the total outstanding shares of Greater Atlantic common stock entitled to vote at the special meeting. The Greater Atlantic directors intend to vote the shares of Greater Atlantic common stock that they own for approval of the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby.

Conditions to Completion of the Merger (page 59)

The obligations of Summit and Greater Atlantic to complete the merger depend on a number of conditions being met. These include:

·	Greater Atlantic’s shareholders’ approval of the merger agreement;

·	approval of the merger by the necessary federal and state regulatory authorities;

·	authorization for the listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market of the shares of Summit common stock to be issued in the merger;

·	absence of any law or court order prohibiting the merger;

·	receipt of an opinion from counsel to Summit that the merger will qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code;

·	the balance of core deposits (as defined in the merger agreement) being not less than $144 million;

·	the sale of Greater Atlantic Bank’s branch office in Pasadena, Maryland, at least forty-five (45) days prior to consummation of the merger (the sale, involving deposits of approximately $52.0 million, was completed on August 24, 2007); and

·	the continued accuracy of certain representations and warranties.

Where the law permits, either of us could choose to waive a condition to our obligation to complete the merger although that condition has not been satisfied. We cannot be certain when, or if, the conditions to the merger will be satisfied or waived, or that the merger will be completed.

Regulatory Approvals (page 62)

We cannot complete the merger unless it is approved by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. On October 4, 2007, Summit filed an application to obtain approval of the merger with the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond. The Division of Banking Supervision and Regulation of the Board of Governors in Washington, D.C. is responsible for processing the application. As discussed in more detail on page 62, Summit requested the Federal Reserve to suspend processing of the application in order to afford Summit sufficient time to file additional information requested by the Federal Reserve and to allow the Federal Reserve sufficient time to review the additional information. As of the mailing date of this proxy statement/prospectus, Summit had filed the supplementary information that the Federal Reserve has requested as of that date. The Federal Reserve has informed Summit that, if the Federal Reserve determines that the application is complete, it will reactivate the application immediately before rendering a decision on the application.

Following the closing of the merger, Summit will file notices of closing with the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond.

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, we have not yet received the required approvals. While we do not know of any reason why we would not be able to obtain the necessary approvals in a timely manner, we cannot be certain when or if we will receive them.

Termination of the Merger Agreement (page 60)

Greater Atlantic and Summit may mutually agree to terminate the merger at any time.

Either Greater Atlantic or Summit may terminate the merger agreement if any of the following occurs:

•

either party breaches any of its representations or obligations under the merger agreement, and does not cure the breach within 30 days if such breach individually or in the aggregate with other breaches results in a material adverse effect;

•

the merger is not completed by March 31, 2008, unless the failure of the merger to be consummated arises out of or results from the knowing action or inaction of the party seeking to terminate; or

•

the approval of any governmental entity required for consummation of the merger is denied or the shareholders of Greater Atlantic do not approve the merger agreement.

Summit may terminate the merger agreement if Greater Atlantic’s board fails to recommend approval of the merger agreement, withdraws its recommendation or modifies its recommendation in a manner adverse to Summit before the special shareholder meeting.

Greater Atlantic may terminate the merger agreement in order to enter into an agreement with respect to an unsolicited proposal that if consummated would result in a transaction more favorable to Greater Atlantic’s shareholders from a financial point of view, provided that Summit does not make a counteroffer that is at least as favorable to the other proposal and Greater Atlantic pays the termination fee described below.

Termination Fee (page 61)

In the event the merger agreement is terminated (i) due to failure to obtain Greater Atlantic’s shareholder approval and prior to such time a competing acquisition proposal for Greater Atlantic has been made public and not withdrawn or (ii) by Greater Atlantic in order to enter into an agreement with respect to a superior proposal, then in either case, Greater Atlantic must pay Summit a termination fee of $750,000 according to the following schedule: (i) $250,000 no later than two (2) business days after the date of termination, (ii) $100,000 on the date that is one (1) year after the termination date, (iii) $100,000 on the date that is two (2) years after the termination date, and (iv) $300,000 on the date that is three (3) years after the termination date.

In the event the merger agreement is terminated (i) because Greater Atlantic’s board fails to recommend, withdraws, modifies, or changes its recommendation of the merger before Greater Atlantic’s shareholder meeting, (ii) by Summit due to a breach by Greater Atlantic of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement, or (iii) by Summit due to a failure to consummate the merger by March 31, 2008, then in any of those cases, Greater Atlantic must pay Summit a cash termination fee of $250,000 no

- 11 -

Table of Contents

later than two (2) business days after the termination date, unless the failure of the merger to be consummated by that date arises out of or results from the knowing action or inaction of Summit.

Waiver and Amendment (page 62)

We may jointly amend the merger agreement, and each of us may waive our right to require the other party to adhere to the terms and conditions of the merger agreement. However, we may not do so after Greater Atlantic’s shareholders approve the merger agreement if the amendment or waiver would violate the Delaware General Corporation Law or the West Virginia Business Corporation Act.

Interests of Directors and Officers in the Merger that Differ from Your Interests (page 57)

Some of the directors and officers of Greater Atlantic have interests in the merger that differ from, or are in addition to, their interests as shareholders of Greater Atlantic. These interests exist because of, among other things, employment or severance agreements that the officers entered into with Greater Atlantic, and rights that these officers and directors have under Greater Atlantic’s benefit plans. These employment and severance agreements provide certain officers with severance benefits if their employment is terminated following the merger. Further, certain officers and employees of Greater Atlantic will benefit from accelerated vesting of stock options.

The members of the Greater Atlantic board of directors knew about these additional interests and considered them when they approved the merger agreement and the merger.

Stock Options (page 38)

If the merger is completed, each outstanding option to purchase shares of Greater Atlantic common stock under any and all plans of Greater Atlantic under which stock options have been granted and are outstanding shall vest and holders of Greater Atlantic stock options shall be entitled to receive cash in an amount equal to the difference between the value of (a) the merger consideration and (b) the applicable exercise price (rounded to the nearest cent) for each outstanding Greater Atlantic stock option.

Comparative Rights of Summit Shareholders and Greater Atlantic Shareholders (page 73)

The rights of Summit’s shareholders are governed by West Virginia law and by Summit’s articles of incorporation and bylaws. The rights of Greater Atlantic’s shareholders are governed by Delaware law and by Greater Atlantic’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws. Upon completion of the merger, the rights of the Summit shareholders, including former shareholders of Greater Atlantic, will be governed by West Virginia law and the articles of incorporation and bylaws of Summit.

RISK FACTORS

You should carefully read and consider the following risk factors concerning Summit, Greater Atlantic and the merger before you decide whether to vote to approve the merger and/or the other matters to be considered and voted upon at the shareholder meeting.

Risks Associated with the Merger

Fluctuations in the trading price of Summit common stock will change the value of the shares of Summit common stock you receive in the merger.

The number of shares of Summit common stock that you will receive for each share of Greater Atlantic common stock will be calculated at closing based on the exchange ratio. At the closing, we will determine the exchange ratio by dividing the average closing price of Summit common stock reported on the NASDAQ Capital Market for the twenty (20) trading days prior to closing (the “Average Closing Price”) by $4.20. However, the exchange ratio is subject to a stock collar, which sets a maximum and minimum numbers of shares that Summit will issue. If the Average Closing Price of Summit common stock is less than $17.82, then the exchange ratio will be calculated by dividing $4.20 by $17.82. If the Average Closing Price is greater than $24.10, then the exchange ratio will be calculated by dividing $4.20 by $24.10. This means that for each share of Greater Atlantic common stock that you own, you will receive at least 0.1742 shares of Summit common stock, but no more than 0.2356 shares of Summit common stock. As a result, the market value of the Summit common stock that you receive in the merger will increase or decrease depending on the direction of the price movement of the Summit common stock. See chart on page 37 under the heading “The Merger - Merger Consideration” for an illustration of what you will receive based on Summit’s stock price. Also, after the merger, the market value of Summit common stock may decrease and be lower than the market value of Summit common stock that was used in calculating the exchange ratio in the merger.

The integration of the operations of Summit and Greater Atlantic may be more difficult than anticipated.

The success of the merger will depend on a number of factors, including but not limited to Summit’s ability to:

·	timely and successfully integrate the operations of Summit and Greater Atlantic;

·	maintain existing relationships with depositors in Greater Atlantic to minimize withdrawals of deposits subsequent to the merger;

·	maintain and enhance existing relationships with borrowers to limit unanticipated losses of loan customers of Greater Atlantic;

·	control the incremental non-interest expense from Summit to maintain overall operating efficiencies;

·	retain and attract qualified personnel at Summit and Greater Atlantic;

·	compete effectively in the communities served by Summit and Greater Atlantic and in nearby communities; and

·	manage effectively its anticipated growth resulting from the merger.

Table of Contents

The merger with Greater Atlantic may distract management of Summit from its other responsibilities.

The merger with Greater Atlantic could cause the management of Summit to focus its time and energies on matters related to the merger that otherwise would be directed to the business and operations of Summit. Any such distraction on the part of management, if significant, could affect its ability to service existing business and develop new business and adversely effect the business and earnings of Summit.

Greater Atlantic’s shareholders will have less influence as shareholders of Summit than as shareholders of Greater Atlantic

Greater Atlantic’s shareholders currently have the right to vote in the election of the board of directors of Greater Atlantic and on other matters affecting Greater Atlantic. After the merger, the shareholders of Greater Atlantic as a group will own approximately 8.0% of the combined organization. When the merger occurs, each shareholder that receives shares of Summit common stock will become a shareholder of Summit with a percentage ownership of the combined organization much smaller than such shareholder’s percentage ownership of Greater Atlantic. Consequently, Greater Atlantic’s shareholders will have less influence on the management and policies of Summit than they now have on the management and policies of Greater Atlantic.

Directors and officers of Greater Atlantic have interests in the merger that differ from the interests of non-director or non-management shareholders.

Some of the directors and officers of Greater Atlantic have interests in the merger that differ from, or are in addition to, their interests as shareholders of Greater Atlantic, generally. These interests exist because of, among other things, employment or severance agreements that certain officers entered into with Greater Atlantic, rights that Greater Atlantic officers and directors have under Greater Atlantic’s benefit plans (including the treatment of their stock options and warrants following the merger) and rights to indemnification following the merger. Although the members of each of Summit’s and Greater Atlantic’s board of directors knew about these additional interests and considered them when they approved the merger agreement and the merger, you should understand that some of the directors and officers of Greater Atlantic will receive benefits or other payments in connection with the merger that you will not receive. See “The Merger – Interests of Certain Persons in the Merger” on page 57.

Risks Associated with Summit

Changes in interest rates may adversely affect Summit’s business.

Summit’s earnings, like most financial institutions, depend significantly on its net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between the interest income Summit earns on loans and other assets which earn interest and the interest expense incurred to fund those assets, such as on savings deposits and borrowed money. Therefore, changes in general market interest rates, such as a change in the monetary policy of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or otherwise beyond those which are contemplated by Summit’s interest rate risk model and policy, could have an effect on net interest income.

Our success depends on key personnel.

Summit depends, and for the foreseeable future will depend, on the services of H. Charles Maddy, III, the President and Chief Executive Officer of Summit, Robert S. Tissue, the Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Summit, Patrick N. Frye, the Senior Vice President and Chief Credit Officer of Summit, Scott C. Jennings, the Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Summit, Ronald F. Miller, the President and Chief Executive Officer of Summit Community Bank,

- 14 -

Table of Contents

C. David Robertson, the Chairman of the Board of Summit Community Bank and Doug A. Mitchell, the Senior Vice President, Retail Banking of Summit. Summit’s Board of Directors will continue to rely on the expertise and management abilities of Messrs. Maddy, Tissue, Frye, Jennings, Miller, Robertson and Mitchell, and the other principal officers of Summit. If Summit loses the services of one or more of these key personnel, it could have a negative impact on its business because of their skills, years of industry experience and the difficulty of promptly finding qualified replacement personnel.

Summit faces strong competition.

Summit engages in highly competitive activities. Each activity and market served involves competition with other banks and savings institutions, as well as with non-banking and non-financial enterprises that offer financial products and services that compete directly with Summit’s products and services. Summit actively competes with other banks, mortgage companies and other financial service companies in its efforts to obtain deposits and make loans, in the scope and types of services offered, in interest rates paid on deposits and charged on loans, and in other aspects of banking.

In addition to competing with other banks and mortgage companies, Summit competes with other financial institutions engaged in the business of making loans or accepting deposits, such as savings and loan associations, credit unions, industrial loan associations, insurance companies, small loan companies, finance companies, real estate investment trusts, certain governmental agencies, credit card organizations and other enterprises. In recent years, competition for money market accounts from securities brokers has also intensified. Additional competition for deposits comes from government and private issues of debt obligations and other investment alternatives for depositors such as money market funds. Summit takes an aggressive competitive posture, and intends to continue vigorously competing for market share within our service areas by offering competitive rates and terms on both loans and deposits.

Summit’s ability to pay dividends is subject to regulation.

Summit’s ability to pay dividends on its common stock is subject to its profitability and to government regulations that limit the aggregate amount of cash dividends paid to shareholders based on retained earnings and then-current income levels. There can be no assurance that Summit’s future earnings will support dividend payments in the future. Summit’s settlement of the civil action styled Corinthian Mortgage Corporation v. Summit Financial LLC et al., (the “Litigation”) resulted in Summit paying Corinthian Mortgage $9.25 million and recognizing a one- time pre-tax charge in the fourth quarter of 2007 of $9.25 million ($5.8 million after taxes). After taking into account this charge, Summit remained well-capitalized as of December 31, 2007. Summit expects to remain well-capitalized upon completion of the merger. See “Price Range of Common Stock and Dividends” beginning on page 20.

There is a concentration of ownership of Summit’s common stock.

Summit’s directors and executive officers beneficially own approximately 27.5% of Summit’s outstanding common stock. Accordingly, such persons effectively have the ability to control Summit and direct its affairs and business, which may include taking actions that may be inconsistent with the interests of non-affiliated shareholders.

Common stock is not insured.

Summit’s common stock is not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency.

Risk Factors Relating to Summit’s Growth.

Summit may not be able to maintain and manage its growth, which may adversely affect its results of operations and financial condition. Summit has had significant growth during the past five

- 15 -

Table of Contents

years, and Summit plans to continue to grow and expand. Summit’s ability to continue to grow depends on its ability to open new branch offices, attract deposits to those locations, and identify loan and investment opportunities. Summit’s ability to manage growth successfully also will depend on whether it can maintain capital levels adequate to support its growth and maintain cost controls and asset quality. Summit expects to remain well-capitalized upon the acquisition of Greater Atlantic. It is possible that Summit may need to raise additional capital to support future growth. Summit cannot provide any assurance that additional capital would be available on terms satisfactory to all shareholders. This could force Summit to limit its growth strategy. If Summit is unable to sustain its growth, its earnings could be adversely affected. If Summit grows too quickly, however, and is not able to control costs and maintain asset quality, rapid growth also could adversely affect its financial performance.

Summit depends on local economic conditions, over which it has no control.

Summit’s success depends to a certain extent upon the general economic conditions in the geographic markets in which it operates. Although Summit anticipates that economic conditions in these markets will continue to be favorable, no assurance can be given that these economic conditions will continue. Adverse changes in economic conditions in the geographic markets in which Summit’s subsidiaries are located would likely impair their ability to collect loans and could otherwise have a negative effect on Summit’s financial condition. In addition, Summit’s deposit balances may fluctuate due to economic conditions or other conditions over which it has no control.

There are no assurances as to the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses.

Summit believes that its allowance for credit losses is maintained at a level adequate to absorb probable losses in its loan portfolio given the current information known to management.

Management establishes the allowance based upon many factors, including, but not limited to:

·	historical loan loss experience;

·	industry diversification of the commercial loan portfolio;

·	the effect of changes in the local real estate market on collateral values;

·	the amount of nonperforming loans and related collateral security;

·	current economic conditions that may affect the borrower’s ability to pay and value of collateral;

·	sources and cost of funds;

·	volume, growth and composition of the loan portfolio; and

·	other factors management believes are relevant.

These determinations are based upon estimates that are inherently subjective, and their accuracy depends on the outcome of future events, so ultimate losses may differ from current estimates. Depending on changes in economic, operating and other conditions, including changes in interest rates, that are generally beyond its control, Summit’s actual loan losses could increase significantly. As a result, such losses could exceed Summit’s current allowance estimates. Summit can provide no assurance that its allowance is sufficient to cover actual loan losses should such losses differ substantially from our current estimates.

In addition, federal and state regulators, as an integral part of their respective supervisory functions, periodically review Summit’s allowance for credit losses. Summit’s independent auditors also

- 16 -

Table of Contents

review the allowance as a part of their audit. Any increase in its allowance required by either the regulatory agencies or independent auditors would reduce Summit’s pre-tax earnings.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This proxy statement/prospectus contains data and information that constitute forward-looking statements (within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) regarding, among other things, the anticipated closing date of the merger, the expected pro forma effect of the merger, and plans and objectives of Summit’s management for future operations of the combined organization following consummation of the merger. You can identify these forward-looking statements because they may include terms such as “believes,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “expects,” or similar expressions and may include discussions of future strategy. Each of Summit and Greater Atlantic caution you not to rely unduly on any forward-looking statements in this proxy statement/prospectus. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from the results expressed in these forward-looking statements.

Factors that might cause such a difference include the following:

·	the ability of Greater Atlantic to obtain the required shareholder approval or the ability of Summit to obtain the required regulatory approvals for the merger;

·	the ability of the companies to consummate the merger;

·	Summit’s ability to successfully integrate Greater Atlantic into Summit following the merger;

·	a material adverse change in the financial condition, results of operations or prospects of either Summit or Greater Atlantic;

·	Summit’s ability to fully realize any cost savings and revenues or the ability to realize them on a timely basis;

·	the risk of borrower, depositor and other customer attrition after the merger is completed;

·	a change in general business and economic conditions;

·	changes in the interest rate environment, deposit flows, loan demand, real estate values, and competition;

·	changes in accounting principles, policies or guidelines;

·	changes in legislation and regulation;

·	other economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory, geopolitical, and technological factors affecting the companies’ operations, pricing, and services; and

·	other risk factors described on pages 13 to 17 of this proxy statement/prospectus.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

Litigation Settlement

On November 21, 2007, Summit entered into a Letter of Intent with Danny L. Wiginton, Commonwealth Savingshares Corporation, SOUTHBank FSB, and Corinthian Mortgage Corporation (the “Letter of Intent”). The purpose of the Letter of Intent was to settle the previously disclosed Litigation and to state the basic terms and conditions upon which the parties have agreed to negotiate a proposed transaction whereby Summit may acquire Commonwealth Savingshares Corporation (“CSC”) and its subsidiary, SOUTHBank FSB, or exercise a cash alternative to settle the Litigation.

Under the Letter of Intent, Summit and CSC agreed to negotiate in an effort to enter into a definitive merger agreement to purchase CSC for a combination of stock and cash equal to $52.5 million. However, at any time prior to execution of a definitive merger agreement, Summit, CSC, and CSC’s principal shareholder (Danny L. Wiginton) each had the right, in its or his sole discretion to choose not to pursue the acquisition of CSC by Summit and to terminate the Letter of Intent. In such case, Summit

- 17 -

Table of Contents

would pay Corinthian, CSC and Wiginton the total sum of $10.5 million as consideration (i) for settling the Litigation and (ii) as a break-up fee.

On December 5, 2007, Summit exercised the cash alternative provided in the Letter of Intent. After due consideration, Summit believes exercise of the cash alternative is in the bests interests of Summit and its shareholders. Accordingly, Summit elected to pay Corinthian, CSC and Wiginton the total sum of $10.5 million. $1.25 million of this total amount was paid by Summit’s insurance carrier. As a result of the settlement, Summit recognized a one-time after-tax charge in the fourth quarter of 2007 of $5.8 million ($9.25 million pre- tax).

The settlement ends all current litigation between Summit, its wholly owned subsidiary, Summit Community Bank, Inc. the individual defendants who were former employees of Summit named in the Litigation, and the plaintiff Corinthian Mortgage Corporation.

Fiscal Year and the Fourth Quarter Unaudited Financial Results

On January 31, 2008, Summit reported fiscal year and fourth quarter 2007 unaudited financial results from continuing operations, which excludes from income substantially all business activities of Summit Mortgage, its residential mortgage loan origination unit, which ceased operations in January 2007. Income from continuing operations for 2007 was $13.5 million or $1.85 per diluted share, an increase of 22.4 percent and 20.1 percent, respectively, compared with $11.1 million or $1.54 per diluted share reported for the prior-year. Excluding mark-to-market changes in fair value of interest rate swaps, income from continuing operations was $12.6 million for 2007 compared to $11.1 million for 2006. The 2007 results from continuing operations reflect strong loan growth, well-controlled operating expenses and a stable net interest margin year-over-year.

For the fourth quarter of 2007, Summit’s income from continuing operations was $3.9 million or $0.52 per diluted share compared with the $2.7 million or $0.39 per diluted share reported for the prior-year quarter, an increase of 40.7 percent and 33.3 percent, respectively. Excluding mark-to-market changes in fair value of interest rate swaps, fourth quarter 2007 income from continuing operations was $3.4 million compared to $2.7 million for the same period in 2006.

Consolidated net income for 2007 was $6.5 million or $0.88 per diluted share, compared with $8.3 million or $1.15 per diluted share reported for 2006, a decline of 21.8 percent and 23.5 percent, respectively. 2007 consolidated results include a loss from discontinued operations related to Summit Mortgage of $7.1 million, or $0.97 per diluted share, which includes a $5.8 million after-tax charge to settle the Corinthian litigation. 2006 results include a loss from discontinued operations of $2.8 million, or $0.39 per diluted share.

On a consolidated basis, Summit reported a fourth quarter 2007 net loss of $2.8 million, or $0.37 per diluted share, compared with net income of $207,000, or $0.03 per diluted share for the prior-year fourth quarter. Consolidated results for the fourth quarter also reflect the above-mentioned 2007 litigation settlement and a charge to terminate the mortgage company in 2006.

For 2007, Summit’s returns on average shareholders’ equity and average assets from continuing operations calculated in accordance with GAAP were 15.39 percent and 1.04 percent, respectively, compared with prior-year ratios of 13.99 percent and 0.94 percent. Fourth quarter 2007 returns on average shareholders’ equity and average assets from continuing operations were 16.23 percent and 1.13 percent, respectively, compared with prior-year ratios of 13.37 percent and 0.89 percent.

Summit’s total revenues for 2007 were $46.4 million, consisting of $39.0 million of net interest income plus $7.4 million of noninterest income, an increase of 17.4 percent compared to total revenues of $39.5 million in 2006. Net interest income for the year increased 8.8 percent above 2006, reflecting 10.7 percent growth in average earning assets, partially offset by a 12 basis point decline in the net interest margin, to 3.26 percent.

- 18 -

Table of Contents

Summit’s total revenue for the fourth quarter of 2007 was $13.0 million, up 26.3 percent from fourth quarter 2006 revenue of $10.3 million. Net interest income was $10.3 million, up 10.3 percent from the year-ago quarter, from the combined impact of an 11.6 percent increase in average earning assets and an eight basis point decline in the net interest margin, to 3.24 percent.

For 2007, Summit’s noninterest income was $7.4 million, up $3.7 million or 102.5 percent from the $3.6 million reported for fiscal 2006. Excluding changes in fair value of interest rate swaps and the net cash settlement of interest on these swaps from fiscal 2007 and 2006, and further excluding the $2.1 million of insurance revenues from the Kelly Agencies acquisition, noninterest income from organic sources was $4.5 million, up $249,000 or 5.8 percent above fiscal 2006. Service fee income increased $246,000, or 8.9 percent, to $3.0 million, compared to $2.8 million for the prior-year. For the fourth quarter of 2007, noninterest income was $2.7 million, up $1.8 million from the $946,000 recorded for the year-ago quarter. Service fee income increased $161,000, or 22.9 percent, to $863,000 for fourth quarter of 2007.

Summit’s 2007 noninterest expense was $25.1 million, a 16.1 percent, or $3.5 million increase over the $21.6 million record for the previous fiscal year. Salaries and benefits accounted for 79.9 percent of the increase, increasing $2.8 million, or 23.6 percent, to $14.6 million for the year; 2007 results include the addition of 34 employees associated with the acquisition of the Kelly Agencies. The efficiency ratio for continuing operations was 53.00 percent for 2007, compared with 52.15 percent for 2006. For the fourth quarter of 2007, noninterest expense was $6.9 million, up 30.4 percent or $1.6 million from the fourth quarter of 2006, and 1.3 percent or $90,000 from the linked quarter. The efficiency ratio (for continuing operations) was 53.03 percent for the fourth quarter of 2007, compared with 49.61 percent for the prior-year fourth quarter, and 53.91 percent for the linked quarter.

Summit’s assets at December 31, 2007 were $1.44 billion, an increase of $200.0 million, or 16.2 percent, over the prior-year period. Loans, net of unearned income, were $1.06 billion at period end, up $138.1 million, or 15.0 percent, year over year. Loan growth was distributed across virtually every loan category (except consumer loans); however, commercial real estate (CRE) loans, the largest loan category at 36.1 percent of the portfolio, was also the driver of 2007 loan growth, up $70.3 million year-over-year; CRE contributed approximately 50 percent of total loan growth for the year. Residential real estate, the second largest loan category at 30.3 percent, contributed approximately $40 million of loan growth, mostly in the second half of the year. Growth of construction and development loans slowed substantially this year with only a $9.5 million increase, its portfolio share reduced to 21.2 percent from 23.3 percent at year-end 2006.

At December 31, 2007, Summit’s nonperforming assets were $12.4 million, or 0.86 percent of total assets, compared with $7.7 million, or 0.58 percent for the linked quarter and $5.4 million, or 0.43 percent for the year-ago quarter. Residential real estate loans account for approximately $4.9 million of nonperforming assets, and construction and development loans – largely residential – accounted for an additional $2.0 million. Commercial real estate loans totaled approximately $2.5 million of nonperforming assets.

For the fourth quarter, Summit had net charge-offs of $285,000, or an annualized 0.11 percent of average loans, compared with $566,000, or an annualized 0.23 percent for the linked quarter, and $263,000, or 0.11 percent annualized for the year earlier period. At December 31, 2007, loan loss reserves were 0.86 percent of loans outstanding.

Summit’s total deposits at December 31, 2007 were $828.7 million compared with $888.7 million at the prior year-end, a decrease of $60 million or 6.8 percent. Brokered deposits declined by $103.2 million or 36.9 percent over the past year, to $176.4 million at December 31, 2007, while Summit’s retail deposit portfolio increased by $43.2 million, or 7.1 percent, to $652.3 million at year-end 2007. Retail deposits now account for 78.7 percent of total deposits, compared with 68.5 percent at year end 2006.

The shareholders of Summit are entitled to receive dividends when and as declared by its board of directors. Dividends have been paid semi-annually. Dividends were $0.34 per share in 2007 and $0.32 per share in 2006. The payment of dividends is subject to the restrictions set forth in the West Virginia Business Corporation Act and the limitations imposed by the Federal Reserve Board.

Payment of dividends by Summit depends upon receipt of dividends from its banking subsidiary. Payment of dividends by Summit’s state non-member banking subsidiary is regulated by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and the West Virginia Division of Banking and generally, the prior approval of the FDIC is required if the total dividends declared by a state non-member bank in any calendar year exceeds its net profits, as defined, for that year combined with its retained net profits for the preceding two years. Additionally, prior approval of the FDIC is required when a state non-member bank

has deficit retained earnings but has sufficient current year’s net income, as defined, plus the retained net profits of the two preceding years. The FDIC may prohibit dividends if it deems the payment to be an unsafe or unsound banking practice. The FDIC has issued guidelines for dividend payments by state non-member banks emphasizing that proper dividend size depends on the bank’s earnings and capital.

The following table sets forth historical per share market values for Summit common stock and Greater Atlantic common stock (i) on April 12, 2007, the last trading day prior to public announcement of the merger agreement, and (ii) on February 14, 2008, the most recent practicable date before the printing and mailing of this proxy statement/prospectus. The table also shows the equivalent pro forma market value of Greater Atlantic common stock on April 12, 2007, and February 14, 2008, assuming receipt of stock consideration.

The equivalent pro forma market value per share of Greater Atlantic common stock is the result obtained by multiplying the historical market price of Summit common stock by the applicable exchange ratio and adding the cash consideration of $1.80. For purposes of determining the equivalent pro forma market value and the applicable exchange ratio, we have assumed that the average closing price of a share of Summit common stock is equal to the historical market price on April 12, 2007, and on February 14, 2008. Accordingly, the pro forma market value of Greater Atlantic common stock (i) on April 12, 2007, is determined by multiplying $20.80 by the exchange ratio of 0.2019, and (ii) on February 14, 2008, is determined by multiplying $15.50 by the exchange ratio of 0.2357.

The historical market prices represent the last sale prices on April 12, 2007, and February 14, 2008. The average closing price of Summit common stock used to determined the exchange ratio and the market price may be higher or lower than the closing prices of Summit common stock on the dates shown in the table and, therefore, the market value of the Summit common stock that you receive may be higher or lower than the equivalent pro forma market value shown in the table.

UNAUDITED COMPARATIVE PER SHARE DATA

We have summarized below historical earnings, dividend and book value per share information for Summit and Greater Atlantic and additional similar information as if the companies had been combined for the periods shown, which we refer to as “pro forma” information. The pro forma and pro forma equivalent per share information gives effect to the merger as if the transaction had been effective at the period end dates presented, in the case of book value data, and as if the transaction had been effective at the beginning of each period presented, in the case of the earnings and dividend data.

The pro forma combined and pro forma equivalent per share information below assume that Summit will pay consideration totaling $6.00 per share for each outstanding share of Greater Atlantic common stock, as follows: $1.80 in cash, and $4.20 in Summit common stock. For purposes of valuing Summit’s common stock paid, a price per share of $20.80 was assumed, which represents the closing price of Summit’s common stock on the last trading day preceding the public announcement of the merger, and which results in an exchange ratio 0.2019 shares of Summit common stock for each share of Greater Atlantic common stock.

The Greater Atlantic pro forma equivalent per share amounts below are calculated by multiplying the Summit pro forma combined earnings per share and book value per share by the exchange ratio of 0.2019 so that the per share amounts equate to the respective values for one share of Greater Atlantic common stock.

We expect that both Summit and Greater Atlantic will incur merger and integration costs as a result of the merger. We also anticipate that the merger will provide the combined company with financial benefits that may include reduced operating expenses. The information set forth below, while helpful in illustrating the financial characteristics of the combined company under one set of assumptions, may not reflect all of these anticipated financial expenses and does not reflect any of these anticipated financial benefits and, accordingly, does not attempt to predict or suggest future results. It also does not necessarily reflect what the historical results of the combined company would have been had our companies been combined during the periods presented.

Summit reports on a calendar year basis while Greater Atlantic reports on a fiscal year ending on September 30. Accordingly for purposes of the below earnings per share data, Summit’s statements of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, and the year ended December 31, 2006, have been combined with Greater Atlantic’s statements of income for the nine months ended June 30, 2007, and the year ended September 30, 2006, respectively.

The information in the following table is based on, and you should read it together with, the historical financial information and the notes thereto for Summit and Greater Atlantic contained in this proxy statement/prospectus.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2007 and unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated statements of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and the year ended December 31, 2006 combine the historical financial statements of Summit and Greater Atlantic. The unaudited pro forma financial statements give effect to the proposed merger of Greater Atlantic with and into Summit as if the merger occurred on September 30, 2007 with respect to the balance sheet, and on January 1, 2007, and January 1, 2006, with respect to the statements of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, and the year ended December 31, 2006, respectively. The unaudited pro forma financial statements give effect to the proposed merger under the purchase method of accounting using a merger price of $6.00 per share for Greater Atlantic common stock.

Summit reports on a calendar year basis while Greater Atlantic reports on a fiscal year ending on September 30. Accordingly for purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated statements of income, Summit’s statements of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and the year ended December 31, 2006 have been combined with Greater Atlantic’s statements of income for the nine months ended June 30, 2007 and the year ended September 30, 2006, respectively.

The purchase method of accounting requires that all of Greater Atlantic’s assets and liabilities be adjusted to their estimated fair market values as of the date of merger. For purposes of the unaudited pro forma financial statements, fair market value of September 30, 2007 assets and liabilities has been estimated by management of Summit using market information available on September 30, 2007. Accordingly, these adjustments are only approximations. This information may not necessarily be indicative of the financial position or results of operations that would have occurred if the merger had been consummated on the date or at the beginning of the period indicated or which may be obtained in the future. Upon consummation of the merger, Summit will make adjustments as of the date of consummation based on appraisals and estimates.

The unaudited pro forma information, while helpful in illustrating the financial characteristics of the combined company under one set of assumptions, does not reflect benefits of expected cost savings or opportunities to earn additional revenue and, accordingly, does not attempt to predict or suggest future results. It also does not necessarily reflect what the historical results of the combined company would have been had our companies been combined during this period.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE MEETING AND VOTING

General

This section contains information about the Greater Atlantic special shareholder meeting that has been called to vote upon the matters described below. We expect to mail this proxy statement/prospectus to you, as a Greater Atlantic shareholder, on or about February 22, 2008.

In this proxy statement/prospectus, we refer to the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated as of April 12, 2007, as amended on December 6, 2007, between Summit and Greater Atlantic as the “merger agreement”. Proxies may be voted on other matters that may properly come before the Greater Atlantic meeting, if any, at the discretion of the proxy holders. Greater Atlantic’s board knows of no such other matters except those incidental to the conduct of the meeting. A copy of the merger agreement and its amendment are attached as Annexes A and A-1.

Matters Relating to the Special Meeting of Greater Atlantic’s Stockholders

Time and Place:

Tuesday, March 25, 2008

10:00 a.m., Eastern Time

Crowne Plaza Tysons Corner

1960 Chain Bridge Road

McLean, Virginia 22102

Purpose of Meeting:

To vote on the proposed merger of Greater Atlantic and Summit pursuant to which Greater Atlantic will merger with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Summit formed to facilitate the merger.

To vote on the proposal to adjourn the special meeting to a later date, if necessary, to permit further solicitation of proxies in the event there are not sufficient votes at the time of the special meeting to approve the matters to be considered by the shareholders at the special meeting.

Proxies

The accompanying form of proxy is for use at the special meeting if you are unable or do not desire to attend in person. You may attend the meeting even if you have previously delivered a proxy to us. You can revoke your proxy at any time before the vote is taken at the special meeting by submitting to the Greater Atlantic corporate secretary written notice of revocation or a properly executed proxy of a later date, or by attending the special meeting and voting in person. Written notices of revocation and other communications about revoking your proxy should be addressed to:

Greater Atlantic Financial Corp.

10700 Parkridge Boulevard, Suite P50

Reston, Virginia 20191

Attention: Edward C. Allen

Telephone: (703) 391-1300

All shares represented by valid proxies that we receive through this solicitation, and not revoked before they are exercised, will be voted in the manner specified in such proxies. If you make no specification on your returned, signed and dated proxy card, your proxy will be voted “FOR” the matters to be considered at the special meeting as described above.

Solicitation of Proxies

Greater Atlantic will bear the entire cost of soliciting proxies from you, except that Summit has agreed to pay half the cost of the printing of this proxy statement/prospectus. In addition to solicitation of proxies by mail, we will request banks, brokers and other record holders to send proxies and proxy material to the beneficial owners of the stock and secure their voting instructions, if necessary. Greater Atlantic will reimburse those record holders for their reasonable expenses in taking those actions. If necessary, we also may use several of our regular employees, who will not be specially compensated, to solicit proxies from our shareholders, either personally or by telephone, the Internet, fax, letter or special delivery letter. Finally, Greater Atlantic has retained a professional proxy solicitation firm, Georgeson Inc., to assist in soliciting proxies. We will pay a fee in the amount of $5,500 to Georgeson Inc. for its services, and we will also reimburse them for all costs and expenses, which we expect to be approximately $2,500, in connection with this solicitation.

Record Date and Voting Rights

In accordance with Delaware law and Greater Atlantic’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws, we have fixed February 20, 2008, as the record date for determining the shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the special meeting. Accordingly, you are only entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the special meeting if you were a record holder of Greater Atlantic common stock at the close of business on the record date. At that time, 3,024,220 shares of Greater Atlantic common stock were outstanding, held by 271 holders of record. To have a quorum that permits us to conduct business at the special meeting, we require the presence, whether in person or through the prior submission of a proxy, of the holders of Greater Atlantic common stock representing a majority of the shares outstanding and entitled to vote on the record date. You are entitled to one vote for each outstanding share of Greater Atlantic common stock you held as of the close of business on the record date.

Holders of shares of Greater Atlantic common stock present in person at the special meeting but not voting, and shares of Greater Atlantic common stock for which we have received proxies indicating that their holders have abstained, will be counted as present at the special meeting for purposes of determining whether we have a quorum for transacting business. Shares held in street name that have been designated by brokers on proxy cards as not voted will not be counted as votes cast for or against any proposal. These broker non-votes, however, will be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists.

Vote Required

Because approval of the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Greater Atlantic common stock entitled to vote at the special meeting, abstentions and broker non-votes will have the same effect as votes against these matters. Accordingly, the Greater Atlantic board of directors urges you to complete, date and sign the accompanying proxy and return it promptly in the enclosed, postage-paid envelope.

As of the record date, directors and executive officers, and their affiliates, of Greater Atlantic beneficially owned approximately 301,759 shares of Greater Atlantic common stock, entitling them to exercise approximately 9.98% of the voting power of the Greater Atlantic common stock entitled to vote at the special meeting. Each director and executive officer of Greater Atlantic intends to vote each share of Greater Atlantic common stock that he owns “FOR” approval and adoption of the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby.

Table of Contents

Recommendation of the Greater Atlantic Board of Directors

The Greater Atlantic board of directors has approved the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the merger. The Greater Atlantic board believes that the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the merger, are advisable, and are in the best interests of, Greater Atlantic and its shareholders and unanimously recommends that shareholders vote “FOR” approval of the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby.

Appraisal Rights for Greater Atlantic Stockholders

If the merger agreement is approved and adopted by the Greater Atlantic stockholders, holders of Greater Atlantic common stock who delivered a written demand for appraisal to Greater Atlantic prior to the vote on the merger agreement at Greater Atlantic’s special meeting and did not vote in favor of the approval and adoption of the merger agreement will be entitled to receive the fair value of their shares under Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. The text of this law is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex B.

THE MERGER

This summary of the material terms and provisions of the merger agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to such document. The merger agreement and its amendment are attached as Annexes A and A-1 to this proxy statement/prospectus. We incorporate this document into this summary by reference.

Merger

Subject to satisfaction or waiver of all conditions in the merger agreement, Greater Atlantic will merge with and into SFG II, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Summit. Upon completion of the merger, Greater Atlantic’s corporate existence will terminate and SFG II, Inc. will continue as the surviving corporation.

Merger Consideration

In the merger, you will receive a combination of cash and shares of Summit common stock for each share of Greater Atlantic common stock that you own, subject to a “stock collar” limiting the maximum and minimum number of shares Summit will issue. The stock collar is described more fully below. Subject to the stock collar, the total consideration for your Greater Atlantic stock will be paid 70% in the form of Summit common stock and 30% in cash, with each share of Greater Atlantic common stock exchanged for shares of Summit common stock valued at $4.20 and $1.80 in cash.

The number of shares of Summit common stock that you will receive for each share of Greater Atlantic common stock you own will be determined by the exchange ratio at closing. At the closing, we will determine the exchange ratio by dividing $4.20 by the average closing price of Summit common stock reported on the NASDAQ Capital Market for the twenty (20) trading days prior to closing (the “Average Closing Price”). The exchange ratio is subject to a stock collar, which sets the maximum and minimum numbers of shares that Summit will issue. If the Average Closing Price of Summit common stock is less than $17.82, the exchange ratio will be calculated by dividing $4.20 by $17.82. If the Average Closing Price is greater than $24.10, the exchange ratio will be calculated by dividing $4.20 by $24.10. Thus, for each share of Greater Atlantic common stock that you own, you will receive $1.80 in cash and at least 0.1743 shares of Summit common stock, but no more than 0.2357 shares of Summit common stock (based on an exchange ratio). Cash will be paid instead of issuing fractional shares of Summit common stock.

The following chart provides examples of the value of the transaction to shareholders of Greater Atlantic at selected Average Closing Prices of Summit common stock.

$10.75	0.2357	$2.53	$1.80	$4.33

The amount and nature of the merger consideration was established through arm’s-length negotiations between Summit and Greater Atlantic and their respective advisors, and reflects the balancing of a number of countervailing factors. The total amount of the merger consideration reflects a price both parties concluded was appropriate. See “Background of the Merger; Board Recommendations and Reasons for the Merger” beginning on page 42 and “Summit’s Reasons for the Merger” beginning on page 48. The parties have structured the merger, in part, to have the favorable tax attributes of a “reorganization” for federal income tax purposes. See “Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger” beginning on page 66.

We cannot assure you that the current fair market value of Summit or Greater Atlantic common stock will be equivalent to the fair market value of Summit or Greater Atlantic common stock on the effective date of the merger.

Surrender of Stock Certificates

Registrar and Transfer Company will act as exchange agent in the merger and in that role will process the exchange of Greater Atlantic stock certificates for cash and Summit common stock. Within five (5) business days after completion of the merger, the exchange agent will mail to each Greater Atlantic shareholder of record a letter of transmittal and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of their Greater Atlantic common stock for Summit common stock, if any, that the holders of the Greater Atlantic common stock are entitled to receive, and the cash, if any, that the holders of the Greater Atlantic common stock are entitled to receive, any cash in lieu of fractional shares and any payment equal to any dividend or other distribution with respect to Summit common stock with a record date prior to the effective time of the merger.

After the effective time of the merger, each certificate formerly representing Greater Atlantic common stock, until so surrendered and exchanged, will evidence only the right to receive the cash and the number of whole shares of Summit common stock that the holder is entitled to receive in the merger, any cash payment in lieu of a fractional share of Summit common stock and any dividend or other

- 37 -

Table of Contents

distribution with respect to Summit common stock with a record date prior to the effective time of the merger. The holder of such unexchanged certificate will not be entitled to receive any dividends or distributions payable by Summit until the certificate has been exchanged. Subject to applicable laws, following surrender of such certificates, such dividends and distributions, together with any cash payment in lieu of a fractional share of Summit common stock, will be paid without interest.

After the completion of the merger, there will be no further transfers of Greater Atlantic common stock. Greater Atlantic stock certificates presented for transfer after the completion of the merger will be canceled and exchanged for the merger consideration.

If your Greater Atlantic stock certificates have been either lost, stolen or destroyed, you will have to prove your ownership of these certificates and that they were lost, stolen or destroyed before you receive any consideration for your shares. Upon request, our exchange agent, Registrar and Transfer Company, will send you instructions on how to provide evidence of ownership.

No Fractional Shares

Each holder of shares of common stock exchanged pursuant to the merger who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Summit common stock shall receive, in lieu thereof, cash (without interest) in an amount equal to the product of (i) such fractional part of a share of Summit common stock multiplied by (ii) the closing price for a share of Summit common stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market on the effective date of the merger.

Treatment of Greater Atlantic Stock Options

At the effective time, each outstanding and unexercised option granted by Greater Atlantic to purchase shares of Greater Atlantic common stock shall vest and holders of such options shall be entitled to receive cash in an amount equal to the difference between the value of (a) the merger consideration and (b) the applicable exercise price (rounded to the nearest cent) for each outstanding option granted by Greater Atlantic to purchase shares of Greater Atlantic common stock. At the effective time, Summit shall have no obligation to make any additional grants or awards under the Greater Atlantic stock option plans.

Dissenters’ or Appraisal Rights

Under the Delaware General Corporation Law (DGCL), Greater Atlantic stockholders may object to the merger and demand in writing to be paid the fair value of their shares. Determination of fair value is based on all relevant factors, but excludes any appreciation or depreciation resulting from the accomplishment or expectation of the merger. Stockholders who elect to exercise appraisal rights must comply with all of the procedures of Section 262 of the DGCL to preserve those rights. A copy of Section 262 is attached as Annex B to this proxy statement/prospectus.

Section 262 sets forth the procedures to be followed by a stockholder electing to demand appraisal of his or her shares. These procedures are complicated and must be followed strictly. Failure to comply with these procedures may cause you to lose your appraisal rights. The following information is only a brief summary of the required procedures under Delaware law and is qualified in its entirety by the provisions of Section 262.

Under Section 262, Greater Atlantic is required to notify stockholders not less than 20 days before the special meeting to vote on the merger that appraisal rights will be available. A copy of Section 262 must be included with that notice. This proxy statement/prospectus constitutes Greater Atlantic's notice to its stockholders of the availability of appraisal rights in connection with the merger in compliance with the requirements of Section 262. If you wish to consider exercising your appraisal rights, you should carefully review the text of Section 262, attached as Annex B. If you fail to timely and

- 38 -

Table of Contents

properly comply with the requirements of Section 262, your appraisal rights under Delaware law may be lost.

Please review Section 262 for the complete procedures. Neither Summit nor Greater Atlantic will give you any notice of your appraisal rights other than as described in this proxy statement/prospectus and as required by the DGCL.

General Requirements

If you want to object to the merger and be paid the full value of your shares in cash, Section 262 generally requires you to take the following actions:

•

You must deliver a written demand for appraisal to Greater Atlantic before the vote is taken on the merger agreement at Greater Atlantic's special meeting. This written demand for appraisal must be in addition to and separate from any proxy or vote against the merger agreement. Merely voting against, abstaining from voting or failing to vote in favor of adoption of the merger agreement will not constitute a demand for appraisal within the meaning of Section 262. See "Requirements for Written Demand for Appraisal" below for more details on making a demand for appraisal.

•

You must not vote in favor of approval and adoption of the merger agreement. A failure to vote will satisfy this requirement, but a vote in favor of the merger agreement will constitute a waiver of your right of appraisal. Accordingly, if you want to maintain your appraisal rights you must either check the "Against" box or the "Abstain" box on the proxy card or refrain from executing and returning the enclosed proxy card.

•

You must continuously hold your shares of Greater Atlantic stock from the date you make the demand for appraisal through the effective date of the merger.

Requirements for Written Demand for Appraisal

A written demand for appraisal of Greater Atlantic stock is only effective if it is signed by, or for, the stockholder of record who owns the shares at the time the demand is made. The demand must be signed as the stockholder's name appears on its Greater Atlantic stock certificate(s). If you are a beneficial owner of Greater Atlantic stock but not a stockholder of record, you must have the stockholder of record for your shares sign a demand for appraisal on your behalf.

If you own Greater Atlantic stock in a fiduciary capacity, such as a trustee, guardian or custodian, you must disclose the fact that you are signing the demand for appraisal in that capacity.

If you own Greater Atlantic stock with one or more other persons, such as in a joint tenancy or tenancy in common, all of the owners must sign, or have signed for them, the demand for appraisal. An authorized agent, which could include one or more of the owners, may sign the demand for appraisal for a stockholder of record; however, the agent must expressly disclose who the stockholder of record is and that he or she is signing the demand as that stockholder's agent.

If you are a record owner, such as a broker, who holds Greater Atlantic stock as a nominee for others, you may exercise a right of appraisal with respect to the shares held for one or more beneficial owners, while not exercising that right for other beneficial owners. In such a case, you should specify in the written demand the number of shares as to which you wish to demand appraisal. If you do not specify the number of shares, it will be assumed that your written demand covers all the shares of Greater Atlantic stock that are in your name.

Greater Atlantic stockholders who wish to exercise their appraisal rights should address written demands to:

Greater Atlantic Financial Corp.

10700 Parkridge Boulevard

Suite P50

Reston, Virginia 20191

Attention: Corporate Secretary

Greater Atlantic must receive all written demands for appraisal before the vote concerning the merger agreement is taken. As explained above, this written demand should be signed by, or on behalf of, the stockholder of record. The written demand for appraisal should specify the stockholder's name and mailing address, the number of shares of stock owned, and that the stockholder is thereby demanding appraisal of such stockholder's shares.

Written Notice

Within 10 days after the effective date of the merger, Summit, as the surviving corporation in the merger, must give written notice that the merger has become effective to each Greater Atlantic stockholder who has properly sent a written demand for appraisal and who did not vote in favor of the merger. Except as required by law, Summit will not notify stockholders of any dates by which appraisal rights must be exercised.

Petition With Chancery Court

Within 120 days after the effective date of the merger, either Summit or any stockholder who has complied with the requirements of Section 262(a) and (d) may file a petition in the Delaware Court of Chancery demanding a determination of the value of the shares of all stockholders entitled to appraisal. Summit does not presently intend to file a petition, and if you seek to exercise appraisal rights you should not assume that Summit will file a petition or that Summit will initiate any negotiations with respect to the fair value of your shares. If you are a Greater Atlantic stockholder and want to have your Greater Atlantic shares appraised you should be prepared to initiate any petitions necessary for the perfection of your appraisal rights within the time period and in the manner prescribed in Section 262. Since Summit has no obligation to file a petition, your failure to file a petition within the period specified could result in the loss of your appraisal rights.

Withdrawal of Demand

If you change your mind and decide you no longer want an appraisal, you may withdraw your demand for appraisal at any time within 60 days after the effective date of the merger. If you withdraw your demand for appraisal, your appraisal rights will be terminated and you will receive the merger consideration provided in the merger agreement.

Request for Appraisal Rights Statement

If you have complied with the conditions of Section 262, you are entitled, upon written request, to receive from Summit a statement setting forth the aggregate number of shares for which appraisal rights have been properly exercised and the aggregate number of holders of such shares. Summit must mail this statement to you within 10 days after receiving your written request. In order to receive this statement, you must send your request within 120 days after the effective date of the merger to Summit at the following address:

Chancery Court Procedures

If you properly file a petition for appraisal in the Court and deliver a copy of such petition to Summit, Summit will then have 20 days to provide the Court with a list of the names and addresses of all the stockholders who have demanded payment for their shares and have not reached an agreement with Summit as to the value of their shares. If the Court decides it is appropriate, it has the power to conduct a hearing to determine which stockholders have complied with Section 262 and have become entitled to appraisal. The Register in Chancery, if ordered to do so by the Court, will then send notice of the time and place of the hearing on the petition to all the stockholders who have demanded appraisal. The Court may also require you to submit your stock certificates to the Register in Chancery so that it can note on the certificates that an appraisal proceeding is pending. If you do not follow the Court's directions, you may be dismissed from the proceeding.

Chancery Court Appraisal of Greater Atlantic Shares

After the Court determines which stockholders are entitled to an appraisal, the Court will appraise the shares, determining their fair value by considering all relevant factors except for any appreciation or depreciation resulting from the accomplishment or expectation of the merger, together with a fair rate of interest, if the payment of interest is deemed appropriate by the Court. After the Court determines the fair value of the shares, it will direct Summit to pay that value to the stockholders who are entitled to such payment. In order to receive the fair value for your shares, you must surrender your stock certificates.

The Court could determine that the fair value of shares of Greater Atlantic stock is more than, the same as, or less than the merger consideration. In other words, if you demand appraisal rights, you could receive less consideration that you would under the merger agreement.

Costs and Expenses of Appraisal Proceeding

The costs of the appraisal proceeding may be determined by the Court and assessed against the parties as the Court deems equitable under the circumstances. Upon application of a stockholder, the Court may also order that all or a portion of the expenses incurred by any stockholder in connection with the appraisal proceeding, including reasonable attorneys' fees and the fees and expenses of experts, be charged pro rata against the value of all the shares entitled to an appraisal.

Loss of Stockholders' Rights

If you demand appraisal, after the effective date of the merger you will not be entitled to:

• vote your shares of stock, for any purpose, for which you have demanded appraisal;

•

receive payment of dividends or other distributions with respect to your shares, except for dividends or distributions, if any, that are payable to the holders of record as of a record date before the effective date of the merger; or

• receive the payment of the consideration provided for in the merger agreement.

However, you can regain these rights if no petition for an appraisal is filed within 120 days after the effective date of the merger, or if you deliver to Summit a written withdrawal of your demand for an appraisal and your acceptance of the merger, either within 60 days after the effective date of the merger or

- 41 -

with the written consent of Summit. As explained above, these actions will also terminate your appraisal rights. However, an appraisal proceeding in the Court cannot be dismissed without the Court's approval. The Court may condition its approval upon any terms that it deems just.

If you fail to comply strictly with these procedures you will lose your appraisal rights. Consequently, if you wish to exercise your appraisal rights, you are strongly urged to consult a legal advisor before attempting to exercise your appraisal rights.

Background of the Merger; Board Recommendations and Reasons for the Merger

Periodically, the management of Greater Atlantic has evaluated Greater Atlantic’s strategic options, including continuing to operate as an independent entity. At the time of the most recent strategic evaluation in early 2006, Greater Atlantic had not achieved consistent profitable earnings, sustaining losses in fiscal years 2002, 2004 and 2005, and had continued to suffer losses in the first quarter of fiscal year 2006. This inability to achieve consistent profitability and its potential implications for Greater Atlantic’s financial condition has been and continues to be an item of supervisory note by the Office of Thrift Supervision, Greater Atlantic’s primary regulator.

At a meeting of the Board of Directors on September 28, 2005, the Board of Directors authorized Charles W. Calomiris, Greater Atlantic’s Chairman of the Board, to select and engage a qualified financial advisory firm to assist the Board of Directors in its strategic planning process. Subsequently, the Chairman of the Board, together with Carroll E. Amos, Greater Atlantic’s President and Chief Executive Officer, met with representatives of financial advisory firms, including with representatives of Sandler O’Neill & Partners, L.P. (“Sandler O’Neill”). On January 30, 2006, Greater Atlantic engaged Sandler O’Neill to serve as independent financial advisor to the Board of Directors in connection with Greater Atlantic’s review of its strategic options and to provide merger and acquisition analyses in connection with a potential business combination transaction.

At a meeting on March 8, 2006, the Board of Directors met with representatives of Sandler O’Neill who made a presentation to the Board of Directors regarding strategic options available to Greater Atlantic. The discussion focused on the merits of engaging in a potential business combination transaction (either a whole-bank merger or acquisition or sale of one or more branch offices) versus remaining independent. In discussing those options, the Board of Directors noted and assessed the various perceived risks, including the perceived supervisory risk associated with remaining independent given Greater Atlantic’s recent operating history. Sandler O’Neill’s presentation also included an overview of the current merger and acquisitions environment. The representatives of Sandler O’Neill presented a listing of recent thrift merger and acquisition transactions with characteristics that would be comparable to a potential transaction involving Greater Atlantic, branch sales in the immediate and adjoining markets, a list of potential acquirers, an overview of the equity market for bank and thrift stocks and comparable group analyses on both nationwide and regional bases. At the conclusion of the discussion, the Board of Directors directed the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors, in consultation with Greater Atlantic’s financial and legal advisors, to take all necessary and appropriate action to conduct a process to determine what, if any, level of interest other parties might have in engaging in a potential business combination transaction with Greater Atlantic.

On March 29, 2006, Sandler O’Neill identified for Greater Atlantic 69 parties Sandler O’Neill believed might have an interest in exploring a potential business combination with Greater Atlantic. Over approximately the next month, Sandler O’Neill, in consultation with Greater Atlantic’s senior management and legal counsel, prepared a Confidential Information Memorandum containing financial and other information regarding Greater Atlantic for distribution to interested parties following their execution of confidentiality agreements. The Confidential Offering Memorandum provided instructions for interested parties to submit, by June 9, 2006, written indications of interest for a whole-bank transaction, a branch purchase transaction or an equity investment.

- 42 -

Table of Contents

During April and May 2006, 16 interested parties executed confidentiality agreements and thereafter received a Confidential Offering Memorandum, including Summit which executed a confidentiality agreement dated April 25, 2006.

On June 22, 2006, the Board of Directors met, together with representatives of Sandler O’Neill and with representatives of legal counsel, to consider the 16 indications of interest that had been received: three for a whole-bank transaction, 12 for a branch acquisition and one for an equity investment. The representatives of Sandler O’Neill reviewed and discussed the financial terms of each indication of interest with the Board of Directors.

The whole-bank indications of interest varied with Party “A” indicating a proposed transaction value of approximately $12.2 million, and Party “B” and Summit each indicating a proposed transaction value of approximately $18.2 million, or $6.00 per share. Parties “A” and “B” proposed all-cash transactions, and Summit proposed a stock/cash transaction. Summit’s indication of interest, however, was conditioned on Greater Atlantic Bank selling its branch office in Pasadena, Maryland, before the closing of the proposed transaction. Summit’s indication of interest, coupled with the sale of the Pasadena branch office to Bay-Vanguard Federal Savings Bank, which indicated the highest deposit premium for that branch (9.5%), would result in an aggregate indicated value of approximately $23.2 million, or $7.67 per share, compared to approximately $18.2 million, or $6.00 per share, indicated by Party “B” and approximately $12.2 million, or $4.03 per share, indicated by Party “A”. During its discussion, the Board of Directors noted that engaging in a proposed transaction with Summit would require separate applications for regulatory approval and incur additional cost and possibly a longer approval process because it would entail the separate sale of the Pasadena branch office. The representatives of Sandler O’Neill then presented the Board with financial profiles, comparable peer analyses and background on the three interested parties.

Following the review of the whole-bank indications of interest, the Board reviewed and discussed the indications of interest for the separate branch sales, noting that Greater Atlantic had received indications of interest providing for deposit premiums ranging from 5.0% to 9.5%, with both the high and the low being for the Pasadena branch office. The representatives of Sandler O’Neill noted that the median deposit premium for recently announced branch sales ranged from 4.5% to 8.1%. The highest indication of interest for the Pasadena branch office, at a 9.5% deposit premium, was submitted by Bay-Vanguard Federal Savings Bank.

The Board of Directors then turned to the indication of interest submitted by the private equity investor. The Board of Directors noted that while five private equity investors had expressed interest when initially contacted by Sandler O’Neill, and four had executed confidentiality agreements and received a Confidential Offering Memorandum, only one of the private equity investors submitted a written indication of interest. The indication of interest received from the private equity investor proposed the sale of two branch offices of Greater Atlantic Bank, a substantial loan sale, a capital investment of approximately $7.5 million and a consulting contract for the private equity group. In addition, the indication of interest provided that Greater Atlantic negotiate exclusively with the private equity investor for four weeks toward a definitive agreement. Given the whole-bank indications of interest that had been received, the Board of Directors determined not to give exclusivity to any interested party at this time.

Following further discussion, the Board of Directors authorized Sandler O’Neill to contact each of the parties that had submitted a whole-bank indication of interest and communicate to them Greater Atlantic’s interest in pursuing a proposed transaction and to contact both Summit and Bay-Vanguard Federal Savings Bank to invite them to commence their respective due diligence reviews. The Board of Directors also authorized Sandler O’Neill to contact Party “B” and invite it to commence its due diligence review as soon as Summit and Bay-Vanguard Federal Savings Bank had completed their reviews.

On June 22, 2006, Mr. Amos, Edward C. Allen, Chief Operating Officer of Greater Atlantic Bank, and David E. Ritter, Greater Atlantic’s Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, met with H. Charles Maddy, III, Summit’s President and Chief Executive Officer, and Robert S. Tissue, Summit’s Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, to discuss Summit’s indication of interest.

On June 26, 2006, Summit began its due diligence review of Greater Atlantic at the main offices of Greater Atlantic.

On June 30, 2006, Bay-Vanguard Federal Savings Bank began its due diligence review of the Pasadena branch office. Also, on that date, Summit advised Sandler O’Neill that its Board of Directors had authorized management to proceed with negotiations toward a definitive agreement with Greater Atlantic, subject to completion of its due diligence review.

On August 10, 2006, Greater Atlantic announced publicly that it was investigating an unreconciled inter-company account between Greater Atlantic Bank and Greater Atlantic Mortgage Corporation, Greater Atlantic Bank’s wholly-owned mortgage banking subsidiary that had terminated operations earlier in the year.

On September 8, 2006, Greater Atlantic announced publicly that the former management company of Greater Atlantic Mortgage Corporation and its principal had initiated arbitration proceedings against Greater Atlantic, Greater Atlantic Bank and Mr. Amos.

On September 26, 2006, Greater Atlantic received from Party “C” an unsolicited indication of interest to purchase the Rockville, Maryland, and South Riding, Virginia, branch offices of Greater Atlantic Bank for a 4% deposit premium.

Following the public announcements of the internal accounting issue and the commencement of the arbitration proceeding, various interested parties, including Summit, informed Greater Atlantic that these outstanding issues would have to be resolved before they could complete their due diligence review of Greater Atlantic and confirm their continued interest in pursuing a proposed transaction. In an effort to continue the process, on October 4, 2006, Greater Atlantic authorized Sandler O’Neill to contact Summit and the other parties that expressed interest in pursuing a whole-bank transaction to determine whether they would be interested in pursuing a purchase and assumption transaction, which would permit them to acquire all of Greater Atlantic’s assets and liabilities other than the liabilities associated with the internal accounting issue and the arbitration proceeding.

On December 7, 2006, Greater Atlantic was advised of the interest of Party “D” in acquiring Greater Atlantic. Party “D” provided a confidentiality agreement and information concerning itself on December 7, 2006. Subsequently, on February 8, 2007, Party “D” submitted an indication of interest providing for an all-cash transaction ranging from $15 million to $20 million, or an indicated range of $5.00 to $6.67 per share, subject to, among other things, settlement of the outstanding arbitration and due diligence.

On January 11, 2007, Greater Atlantic received an indication of interest letter from Summit proposing a purchase and assumption transaction.

On January 16, 2007, the Board of Directors held a special meeting. A representative of Sandler O’Neill analyzed the financial terms of Summit’s purchase and assumption proposal as compared to the branch purchase indications of interest with the highest deposit premiums. The Board of Directors noted that Greater Atlantic would lose the tax benefit of its net operating loss carryforwards in a purchase and assumption transaction but would preserve it in a whole-bank merger or acquisition transaction. Valuing the deferred tax asset at approximately $1.98 million for purposes of evaluating a proposed purchase and assumption transaction, the Board of Directors noted that Summit’s purchase and assumption proposal indicated a net transaction value of approximately $13.48 million, or $4.46 per share. Following a review

- 44 -

Table of Contents

of the indications of interest received for branch office transactions, the Board of Directors noted that the aggregate transaction value for those transactions would amount to approximately $14.99 million, or $4.92 per share. During its discussion, the Board of Directors also noted the execution risk that would be involved in dealing with multiple acquirors, as well as the regulatory risk that would be involved given that the Office of Thrift Supervision may raise issue with a series of proposed purchase and assumption transactions that would leave Greater Atlantic Bank a smaller institution with substantial liabilities, including the potential liability associated with the pending arbitration proceeding.

Following further discussion, the Board of Directors instructed the representative of Sandler O’Neill to advise Summit that Greater Atlantic has continued interest in pursing a whole-bank transaction with Summit and that Summit was authorized to continue its due diligence review of Greater Atlantic.

On January 18, 2007, the representative of Sandler O’Neill advised Greater Atlantic that Summit remained interested in proceeding with its due diligence review in an effort to negotiate and execute a definitive merger agreement.

On January 24, 2007, Party “E” executed a confidentiality agreement, and on January 25, 2007, Party “E” submitted an indication of interest.

On January 25, 2007, the Board of Directors met to discuss the indication of interest submitted by Party “E”. Party “E” proposed an all-cash transaction valuing Greater Atlantic at $4.634 per share, subject to an exclusivity period and other conditions.

On January 25, 2007, Party “F” executed a confidentiality agreement.

On January 29, 2007, Summit resumed its due diligence review of Greater Atlantic.

On February 7, 2007, Party “F” submitted an indication of interest for an all-cash transaction that indicated a range of value from approximately $14.5 million to $16.0 million, or a range of $4.79 to $5.30 per share, subject to due diligence and other conditions.

On February 8, 2007, an indication of interest for an all-cash, whole-bank transaction was received from Party “D” indicating a transaction value ranging from $15 million to $20 million, or $5.00 to $6.67, per share, subject to due diligence and other conditions.

On February 9, 2007, Summit submitted a revised indication of interest for a whole-bank transaction, but with the exclusion of the Pasadena branch office and with an indicated value of $4.60 per share.

On February 9, 2007, Greater Atlantic announced publicly the resolution of the arbitration proceeding.

On February 13, 2007, Messrs. Calomiris and Amos, Sidney M. Bresler, a director of Greater Atlantic, and Paul J. Cinquegrana, a director of Greater Atlantic now deceased, met with Messrs. Maddy, III and Tissue. Messrs. Maddy, III and Tissue provided background information about Summit and expressed Summit’s interest in a transaction with Greater Atlantic.

On February 14, 2007, the Board of Directors of Greater Atlantic met. A representative of Sandler O’Neill and representatives of Greater Atlantic’s legal counsel were also present. The representative of Sandler O’Neill reviewed the terms of the various indications of interest that had been received to date. The Board of Directors considered and discussed in detail Greater Atlantic’s prospects as an independent entity and came to the consensus that it would be in the best interests of Greater Atlantic and its stockholders to pursue a merger transaction with Summit, as well as the sale of the Pasadena branch office to Bay-Vanguard Federal Savings Bank. Following all discussion, the Board of

Directors determined to pursue the proposals by Summit and Bay-Vanguard Federal Savings Bank and instructed senior management, in consultation with Greater Atlantic’s legal and financial advisors, to proceed to negotiate the terms of a definitive merger agreement with Summit and the terms of a definitive purchase and assumption agreement with Bay-Vanguard Federal Savings Bank, consistent with their respective indications of interest, for presentation to and consideration by the Board of Directors at the earliest practicable time.

On February 20, 2007, representatives of Bay-Vanguard Federal Savings Bank conducted a due diligence review of the Pasadena branch office.

On March 1 and 2, 2007, representatives of Greater Atlantic conducted a due diligence review of Summit at its offices in Moorefield, West Virginia.

On March 21, 2007, Bay-Vanguard Federal Savings Bank informed Greater Atlantic, through a representative of Sandler O’Neill, that its had revised its indication of interest to reduce the deposit premium for the Pasadena branch office to 8.5%.

On March 28, 2007, the Board of Directors of Greater Atlantic met. Senior management of Greater Atlantic advised the Board of Directors that representatives of the Office of Thrift Supervision had inquired recently about the status of the ongoing merger and acquisition discussions and the prospects of negotiating and entering into a definitive agreement in the near term. The Board of Directors then discussed the Bay-Vanguard Federal Savings Bank’s revised indication of interest for the purchase of the Pasadena branch office at a deposit premium of 8.5%. The representative of Sandler O’Neill noted that the new proposed deposit premium, although reduced from the 9.5% proposed initially, remained the highest proposal obtained. Following discussion, the Board of Directors authorized management, with the assistance of Greater Atlantic’s legal and financial advisors, to negotiate a definitive purchase and assumption agreement for the sale of the Pasadena branch office consistent with the terms of the revised indication of interest of Bay-Vanguard Federal Savings Bank.

During the balance of March and early April 2007, representatives of Greater Atlantic and of Summit negotiated the terms of the definitive merger agreement and senior management representatives of Greater Atlantic and of Summit were in periodic contact to discuss transaction integration issues. During the same period, representatives of Greater Atlantic Bank and of Bay-Vanguard Federal Savings Bank negotiated the terms of the definitive purchase and assumption agreement for the purchase of the Pasadena branch office.

On the morning of April 12, 2007, a joint meeting of the Boards of Directors of Greater Atlantic and Greater Atlantic Bank was held to consider and discuss the terms of the definitive merger agreement as negotiated by Greater Atlantic and Summit and the terms of the definitive purchase and assumption agreement as negotiated by Greater Atlantic Bank and Bay-Vanguard Federal Savings Bank for the purchase the Pasadena branch office. A representative of Sandler O’Neill and representatives of Greater Atlantic’s legal counsel were present at the meeting. Copies of the merger agreement and ancillary documents and of the purchase and assumption agreement were sent to each director before the meeting. The representative of Sandler O’Neill made a presentation regarding the fairness of the proposed merger consideration to the holders of Greater Atlantic’s common stock from a financial point of view and delivered the opinion of Sandler O’Neill that, as of April 12, 2007, and subject to the limitations and qualifications set forth in the opinion, the proposed merger consideration was fair from a financial point of view to the holders of Greater Atlantic common stock. The Board of Directors considered carefully the opinion of Sandler O’Neill as well as Sandler O’Neill’s experience, qualifications and interest in the proposed transactions. Representatives of Greater Atlantic’s legal counsel reviewed in detail the terms of the merger agreement and the ancillary documents and the terms of the purchase and assumption agreement with the Board of Directors and reviewed with the Board of Directors its fiduciary duties in the context of the proposed transactions. In addition, senior management of Greater Atlantic, along with representatives of Sandler O’Neill and of legal counsel, presented the findings of Greater Atlantic’s due

diligence review of Summit. In addition, the Board discussed the expected transaction costs including the value of severance obligations under existing employment and change in control agreements with members of management and other benefit arrangements. Following those presentations, and discussion regarding the transactions, all of the directors present determined that the merger agreement and the ancillary transactions and the purchase and assumption agreement were advisable and in the best interests of Greater Atlantic and its stockholders and authorized Mr. Amos to execute and deliver the merger agreement and related documents and the purchase and assumption agreement on behalf of Greater Atlantic and Greater Atlantic Bank and to take all actions appropriate to effect the transactions contemplated by those agreements. Jeffrey M. Gitelman, D.D.S was the only director of Greater Atlantic and Greater Atlantic Bank absent from the meeting. Dr. Gitelman’s absence was unavoidable but he advised the Board of Directors before the meeting by e-mail that he was in favor of both transactions. Later in the day, Greater Atlantic issued a press release announcing the execution of the merger agreement with Summit and the execution by Greater Atlantic Bank of the purchase and assumption agreement with Bay-Vanguard Federal Savings Bank.

Greater Atlantic’s Reasons for the Merger

At the meeting at which the merger agreement was presented for consideration, Greater Atlantic’s Board of Directors, by a unanimous vote of the directors present at the meeting, approved the merger agreement and recommended that Greater Atlantic’s stockholders vote “FOR” approval of the merger agreement.

Greater Atlantic’s Board of Directors has determined that the merger is advisable and in the best interests of Greater Atlantic and its stockholders. In approving the merger agreement, the Board of Directors consulted with Sandler O’Neill regarding the fairness of the transaction to Greater Atlantic’s stockholders from a financial point of view and with Greater Atlantic’s legal counsel regarding its legal duties and the terms of the merger agreement and ancillary documents. In determining to approve the merger agreement and recommend that stockholders approve the merger, the Board of Directors, in consultation with Greater Atlantic’s senior management and financial and legal advisors, considered a number of factors, including the following material factors:

The understanding of the Board of Directors of the strategic options available to Greater Atlantic and the Board of Directors’ assessment of those options with respect to the prospects and estimated results of the execution by Greater Atlantic of its business plan as an independent entity under various scenarios, and the determination that none of those options or the execution of the business plan under the best case scenarios were likely to create greater present value for Greater Atlantic’s stockholders than the value to be paid by Summit. In particular, the Board of Directors considered Greater Atlantic’s ability to achieve consistent profitability as an independent entity and the prospects for adverse regulatory action if it failed to do so.

·	The ability of Greater Atlantic’s stockholders to participate in the future prospects of the combined entity through ownership of Summit common stock and that Greater Atlantic’s shareholders would have potential value appreciation by owning the common stock of Summit.

·	Summit’s ability to continue to pay cash dividends on its common stock (Greater Atlantic has never paid cash dividends).

·	Sandler O’Neill’s written opinion that, as of April 12, 2007, and subject to the assumptions and limitations set forth in the opinion, the merger consideration was fair to Greater Atlantic’s stockholders from a financial point of view.

·	The wider array of financial products and services that would be available to customers of Greater Atlantic and the communities served by Greater Atlantic.

- 47 -

Table of Contents

·	The current and prospective economic, competitive and regulatory environment and the regulatory compliance costs facing Greater Atlantic and other similar size, independent, community banking institutions generally, including the cost of compliance with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

·	A review, with the assistance of Greater Atlantic’s financial and legal advisors, of the terms of the merger agreement, including that the merger is intended to qualify as a transaction that is generally tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

·	The results of the due diligence review of Summit.

·	The Greater Atlantic employees to be retained after the merger would have opportunities for career advancement in a larger organization.

·	The likelihood of timely receiving regulatory approval and the approval of Greater Atlantic’s stockholders and the estimated transaction and severance costs associated with the merger and payments that could be triggered upon termination of or failure to consummate the merger.

The foregoing information and factors considered by Greater Atlantic’s Board of Directors is not exhaustive, but includes all material factors that the Board of Directors considered and discussed in approving the merger agreement and recommending that Greater Atlantic’s stockholders vote to approve the merger. In view of the wide variety of factors considered and discussed by the Board of Directors in connection with its evaluation of the merger and the complexity of these factors, the Board of Directors did not consider it practical to, nor did it attempt to, quantify, rank or otherwise assign any specific or relative weights to the specific factors that it considered in reaching its decision; rather it considered all of the factors as a whole. The Board of Directors discussed and considered the foregoing factors and reached general consensus that the merger was in the best interests of Greater Atlantic and its stockholders. In considering the foregoing factors, individual directors of Greater Atlantic may have assigned different weights to different factors. The Board of Directors relied on the experience and expertise of Sandler O’Neill for quantitative analysis of the financial terms of the merger agreement. See “The Merger - Opinion of Greater Atlantic’s Financial Advisor” and the opinion letter of Sandler O’Neill attached to this proxy statement/ prospectus as Annex C. It should be noted that this explanation of the reasoning of Greater Atlantic’s Board of Directors and all other information presented in this section is forward-looking in nature and, therefore, should be read in light of the factors discussed under “Forward-Looking Statements” on page 17.

Summit’s Reasons for the Merger

The merger is consistent with Summit’s plan to have operations, offices and distinct capabilities in every market of its choice within its region. The merger will afford Summit the opportunity to further expand market share in the Northern Virginia market. Summit believes that, in addition to expanding Summit’s presence in very attractive markets, the merger provides an opportunity to enhance Summit’s stockholder value with the prospects of positive long-term performance of Summit’s common stock. Summit believes that the merger is a strategic fit between Summit and Greater Atlantic given the compatibility of the management and business philosophy of each company. Enhanced opportunities should result from the merger by eliminating redundant or unnecessary costs and enhancing revenue growth prospects.

Opinion of Greater Atlantic’s Financial Advisor

By letter agreement dated January 30, 2006, Greater Atlantic retained Sandler O’Neill to act as its financial advisor in connection with a possible business combination. Sandler O’Neill is a nationally recognized investment banking firm whose principal business specialty is financial institutions. In the ordinary course of its investment banking business, Sandler O’Neill is regularly engaged in the valuation of financial institutions and their securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions and other corporate transactions.

Sandler O'Neill acted as financial advisor to Greater Atlantic in connection with the proposed merger with Summit and participated in certain of the negotiations leading to the merger agreement. At the April 12, 2007 meeting at which Greater Atlantic’s board considered and approved the merger agreement, Sandler O’Neill delivered to the board its oral opinion, subsequently confirmed in writing that, as of such date, the merger consideration was fair to Greater Atlantic’s stockholders from a financial point of view. Sandler O’Neill has updated it fairness opinion as of the date of this proxy statement. The full text of Sandler O’Neill’s updated opinion is attached as Annex C to this document. The opinion outlines the procedures followed, assumptions made, matters considered and qualifications and limitations on the review undertaken by Sandler O’Neill in rendering its opinion. The description of the opinion set forth below is qualified in its entirety by reference to the opinion. Greater Atlantic stockholders are urged to read the entire opinion carefully in connection with their consideration of the proposed merger.

Sandler O’Neill’s opinion speaks only as of the date of the opinion and was necessarily based upon financial, economic, market and other conditions as they existed, and could be evaluated, on that date. The opinion is directed to the Greater Atlantic board and speaks only to the fairness of the merger consideration to Greater Atlantic stockholders from a financial point of view. It does not address the underlying business decision of Greater Atlantic to engage in the merger or any other aspect of the merger and is not a recommendation to any Greater Atlantic stockholder as to how such stockholder should vote at the special meeting with respect to the merger, the form of consideration such stockholder should elect, or any other matter.

such other information, financial studies, analyses and investigations and financial, economic and market criteria as Sandler O’Neill considered relevant.

Sandler O’Neill also discussed with certain members of Greater Atlantic’s senior management the business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects of Greater Atlantic and held similar discussions with certain members of senior management of Summit regarding the business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects of Summit.

In performing its reviews and analyses, Sandler O’Neill relied upon the accuracy and completeness of all of the financial and other information that was available to it from public sources, that was provided by Greater Atlantic and Summit or their respective representatives or that was otherwise available to Sandler O’Neill and assumed such accuracy and completeness for purposes of rendering its opinion. Sandler O’Neill further relied on the assurances of senior management of Greater Atlantic and Summit that they were not aware of any facts or circumstances that would make any of such information inaccurate or misleading. Sandler O’Neill was not asked to, and did not, undertake an independent verification of any of such information and Sandler O’Neill did not assume any responsibility or liability for the accuracy or completeness thereof. Sandler O’Neill did not make an independent evaluation or appraisal of the specific assets, the collateral securing assets or the liabilities (contingent or otherwise) of Greater Atlantic or Summit or any of their subsidiaries, or the collectibility of any such assets, nor was Sandler O’Neill furnished with any such evaluations or appraisals. Sandler O’Neill is not an expert in the evaluation of allowances for loan losses and it did not make an independent evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses of Greater Atlantic or Summit, nor did Sandler O’Neill review any individual credit files relating to Greater Atlantic or Summit. Sandler O’Neill assumed, with Greater Atlantic’s consent, that the respective allowances for loan losses for both Greater Atlantic and Summit were adequate to cover such losses and together will be adequate for the combined company.

With respect to the internal financial projections for Greater Atlantic and Summit and the projections of transaction costs, purchase accounting adjustments and expected cost savings prepared by and/or reviewed with the senior managements of Greater Atlantic and Summit used by Sandler O’Neill in its analyses, senior management of Greater Atlantic and Summit confirmed that those projections and the assumptions related thereto reflected the best currently available estimates and judgments of the future financial performance of Greater Atlantic and Summit. Sandler O’Neill assumed that the financial performances reflected in all projections and estimates used by them in their analyses would be achieved and expressed no opinion as to such projections or estimates or the assumptions on which they were based. Those estimates and projections, as well as the other estimates used by Sandler O'Neill in its

- 50 -

Table of Contents

analysis, were based on numerous variables and assumptions which are inherently uncertain and, accordingly, actual results could vary materially from those set forth in such projections.

Sandler O’Neill also assumed that there had been no material change in Greater Atlantic’s and Summit’s assets, financial condition, results of operations, business or prospects since the date of the last financial statements made available to them, that Greater Atlantic and Summit would remain as going concerns for all periods relevant to its analyses, that all of the representations and warranties contained in the merger agreement were true and correct as set forth in the merger agreement, that each party to the merger agreement would perform all of the covenants required to be performed by such party under that agreement, that the conditions precedent in the merger agreement will not be waived and that the merger will qualify as a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes. Sandler O’Neill, with Greater Atlantic’s consent, relied on the advice Greater Atlantic received from its legal, accounting, and tax advisors as to all legal, accounting, and tax matters relating to the merger agreement and the merger.

In rendering its opinion, Sandler O’Neill performed a variety of financial analyses. Sandler O’Neill prepared its analyses solely for purposes of rendering its opinions and provided such analyses to the Greater Atlantic board of directors. The summary below is not a complete description of the analyses underlying Sandler O’Neill’s opinions or the presentation made by Sandler O’Neill to Greater Atlantic’s board, but is instead a summary of the material analyses performed and presented in connection with its opinions. The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex process involving subjective judgments as to the most appropriate and relevant methods of financial analysis and the application of those methods to the particular circumstances. Also, no company included in Sandler O’Neill’s comparative analyses described below is identical to Greater Atlantic or Summit and no transaction is identical to the merger. Accordingly, an analysis of comparable companies or transactions involves complex considerations and judgments concerning differences in financial and operating characteristics of the companies and other factors that could affect their public trading values or merger transaction values. The process, therefore, is not necessarily susceptible to a partial analysis or summary description.

In arriving at its opinions, Sandler O’Neill did not attribute any particular weight to any analysis or factor that it considered. Rather, Sandler O’Neill made its own qualitative judgments as to the significance and relevance of each analysis and factor. The financial analyses summarized below include information presented in tabular format. Sandler O’Neill did not form an opinion as to whether any individual analysis or factor (positive or negative) considered in isolation supported or failed to support its opinions; rather Sandler O’Neill made its determination as to the fairness of the merger consideration on the basis of its experience and professional judgment after considering the results of all the analyses taken as a whole. Accordingly, Sandler O’Neill believes that its analyses and the summary of its analyses must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of its analyses or focusing on the information presented below in tabular format, without considering all analyses and factors or the full narrative description of the financial analyses, including methodologies and assumptions underlying the analyses, could create a misleading or incomplete view of the process underlying its analysis and opinions. The tables alone do not constitute complete descriptions of the financial analyses presented in such tables. Sandler O’Neill expressed no opinion as to the fairness of the amount or nature of the compensation to be received in the merger by Greater Atlantic’s officers, directors or employees, or class of such persons, relative to the compensation to be received in the merger by any other shareholders of Greater Atlantic. Sandler O’Neill’s opinion was approved by Sandler O’Neill’s fairness opinion committee.

In performing its analysis, Sandler also made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, business and economic conditions and various other matters, many of which cannot be predicted and are beyond the control of Greater Atlantic, Summit and Sandler O’Neill. The analysis performed by Sandler O’Neill is not necessarily indicative of actual values or future results, both of which may be significantly more or less favorable than suggested by such analysis. Estimates on the values of companies did not purport to be appraisals or necessarily reflect the prices at which companies or their securities might actually be sold. Such estimates are inherently subject to uncertainty and actual values

- 51 -

Table of Contents

may be materially different. Accordingly, Sandler O’Neill’s analysis does not necessarily reflect the value of Greater Atlantic’s common stock or Summit’s common stock or the prices at which Greater Atlantic’s or Summit’s common stock may be sold at any time. The analysis of Sandler and the fairness opinion of Sandler O’Neill were among a number of factors taken into consideration by Greater Atlantic’s board in making its determination to adopt the merger agreement and the analysis described below should not be viewed as determinative of the decision of Greater Atlantic’s board with respect to the fairness of the merger.

Summary of Proposal. Sandler O’Neill reviewed the financial terms of the proposed transaction. Pursuant to the merger agreement, each share of Greater Atlantic common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the merger will be converted into the right to receive (a) cash in an amount equal to $1.80 per share and (b) that number of shares of Summit common stock, $2.50 par value per share, (the “Summit Common Stock”) equal to $4.20 divided by the average closing price of Summit Common Stock reported on the NASDAQ for the twenty (20) trading days prior to the closing of the Merger provided, however, if the Average Closing Price is less than $17.82, the exchange ratio will be calculated by dividing $4.20 by $17.82. If the Average Closing Price is greater than $24.10, the exchange ratio will be calculated by dividing $4.20 by $24.10. Using Summit’s twenty day trading average as of February 14, 2008 of $14.66, Sandler O’Neill calculated the aggregate transaction value to be $15.9 million, or $5.26 per Greater Atlantic share. Based upon financial information for Greater Atlantic for the twelve months ended September 30, 2007, Sandler O’Neill calculated the following ratios:

Transaction Ratios

Transaction price / Last twelve months’ earnings per share NM

Transaction price / Book value per share 166%

Transaction price / Tangible book value per share 184%

Tangible book premium/Core Deposits (1) 4.7%

2 Day market premium as of February 14, 2008 6.3%

2 Day market premium as of April 10, 2007 (2) 110.4%

(1)	Core deposits exclude time deposits with account balances greater than $100,000.

(2)	Greater Atlantic’s stock price at the time of announcement.

Stock Trading History. Sandler O’Neill also reviewed the history of the publicly reported trading prices of Greater Atlantic’s common stock for three-year period ended April 5, 2007. Sandler O’Neill did not review the updated history of the reported trading prices and volume of Greater Atlantic as Greater Atlantic’s stock price was trading based on the publicly announced merger consideration. Sandler O'Neill also reviewed the updated history of the reported trading prices and volume of Summit’s common stock for the one year and the three year periods ended February 13, 2008. Sandler O’Neill then compared the relationship between the movements in the price of Greater Atlantic’s common stock against the movements in the prices of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index, the NASDAQ Bank Index, the Standard & Poor’s Bank Index and the performance of a composite peer group - a weighted average (by market capitalization) composite of publicly traded comparable depository institutions selected by Sandler O’Neill. Sandler O’Neill also compared the relationship between the movements in the prices of Summit’s common stock to movements in the prices of the Nasdaq Bank Index, S&P Bank Index, and S&P 500 Index and the performance of a composite peer group - a weighted average (by market capitalization) composite of publicly traded comparable depository institutions selected by Sandler O’Neill. The composition of the peer group for Greater Atlantic is discussed under the relevant section under “Comparable Company Analysis” below.

Sandler O’Neill reviewed the multiples of transaction price at announcement to stated book value per share, tangible book value per share, as well as tangible book premium to core deposits and current market price premium, and computed high, low, mean and median multiples and premiums for the transactions.

Discounted Cash Flow Analysis. Sandler O’Neill performed an analysis to estimate the future stream of after-tax cash flows that Summit would provide to equity holders through 2012 on a stand-alone basis, assuming Summit increased its annual dividend by $0.02 annually and that Summit performed in accordance with the earnings and growth projections reviewed with Summit’s senior management. To approximate the terminal value of Summit Common Stock at December 31, 2012, Sandler O’Neill applied price/earnings multiples ranging from 10x to 20x and multiples of tangible book value ranging from 75% to 200%. The dividend stream and terminal values were then discounted to present values using discount rates ranging from 10% to 16%, which were selected by Sandler O’Neill to reflect different assumptions regarding required rates of return of holders or prospective buyers of Summit’s Common Stock. This analysis resulted in the following reference ranges of indicated per share values for Summit’s Common Stock:

Terminal Earnings Multiple

Discount Rate	10x	12x	14x	16x	18x	20x
10.0%	$20.32	$24.09	$27.85	$31.62	$35.39	$39.15

Sandler O’Neill performed a similar analysis assuming Summit’s 2010 net income varied from 25% above to 25% below the estimates noted above. This analysis resulted in the following reference ranges of indicated per share values for Summit’s common stock, using a discount rate of 12.98%:

25.0%	$21.19	$25.16	$29.13	$33.10	$37.07	$41.04

In its discussions with the Greater Atlantic board, Sandler O’Neill noted that the discounted cash flow analysis is a widely used valuation methodology, but the results of such methodology are highly dependent upon the numerous assumptions that must be made, and the results thereof are not necessarily indicative of actual values or future results.

Pro Forma Merger Analysis. Sandler O’Neill analyzed certain potential pro forma effects of the merger, assuming (1) a deal price per share of $5.26; (2) Consideration mix of 65% stock and 35% cash; (3) all options to purchase shares of Greater Atlantic common stock with a strike price lower than the deal price per share are to be cashed out; (4) each of Greater Atlantic and Summit performs in accordance with the earnings projections and estimates discussed above; and (5) the merger closes during the second quarter of 2008. Sandler O’Neill also assumed various purchase accounting adjustments (including amortizable identifiable intangibles created in the merger), charges and transaction costs associated with the merger, and cost savings resulting from the merger (100% of which would be realized in 2008). Based on the assumptions listed above, the analysis indicated that the merger would be dilutive to Summit’s estimated 2008 earnings per share and accretive to 2009 earnings per share. The actual results achieved by the combined company may vary from projected results and the variations may be material.

Sandler O’Neill’s Compensation and Other Relationships with Greater Atlantic and Summit. Greater Atlantic has agreed to pay Sandler O’Neill a monthly retainer of $10,000 each month (“General Advisory Services Fee”) and will continue to do so until the closing of the transaction. Sandler O’Neill will also be paid a transaction fee in connection with the merger of $150,000, plus a potential incentive fee if the Aggregate Purchase Price is over $17,000,000. It is agreed that one-half of the General Advisory Services Fee shall be credited against the $150,000 transaction fee. A fee of $100,000 has been paid to Sandler O’Neill for rendering its fairness opinions. In connection with the Pasadena, Maryland branch sale, Greater Atlantic has agreed to pay Sandler O’Neill a fee of $77,281, which is equal to 0.15% of the total deposits in the branch sale transaction. Half of such branch sale transaction fee was paid upon signing of the definitive agreement and the remaining amount was paid the day of closing of the branch sale transaction. Greater Atlantic has also agreed to reimburse certain of Sandler O’Neill reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with its engagement and to indemnify Sandler O’Neill and its affiliates and their respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents and controlling persons against certain expenses and liabilities, including liabilities under the securities laws.

In the ordinary course of its business as a broker-dealer, Sandler O’Neill may purchase securities from and sell securities to Greater Atlantic and Summit and their affiliates. Sandler O’Neill may also actively trade the debt and/or equity securities of Greater Atlantic or Summit or their affiliates for its own account or for the accounts of its customers and, accordingly, may at any time hold a long or short position in such securities.

Interests of Certain Persons in the Merger

Certain members of Greater Atlantic’s management have interests in the merger in addition to their interests as shareholders of Greater Atlantic. These interests are described below. In each case, the Greater Atlantic board of directors was aware of these potential interests, and considered them, among other matters, in approving the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby.

Employment and Severance Agreements. After the effective date of the merger, the employment of certain employees of Greater Atlantic may be terminated in a manner which will entitle them to receive termination benefits provided under existing employment agreements with Greater Atlantic. The terms of such termination benefits for each employee are set forth below.

Amos Employment Agreement. Effective November 1, 1997, Greater Atlantic Bank entered into an employment agreement with Carroll E. Amos, President and Chief Executive Officer of Greater Atlantic Bank. Under the employment agreement, if, following a change in control (as defined in the employment agreement), Mr. Amos voluntarily resigns or his employment is terminated involuntarily for reasons other than cause, Mr. Amos (or in the event of his death, his beneficiary) would be entitled to a lump sum cash severance payment equal to the greater of: (i) the remaining payments due for the term of the employment agreement, or (ii) two times the average of Mr. Amos’ annual compensation for the three years preceding the change in control. For purposes of the employment agreement, the merger with Summit constitutes a change in control. In addition to a cash severance payment, the employment agreement provides that Greater Atlantic Bank or its successor will cause to be continued Mr. Amos’ life, health, dental and disability insurance coverage for thirty-six months following his termination of employment in connection with a change in control. That insurance coverage is required to be provided under terms substantially identical to the coverage maintained by Greater Atlantic Bank prior to Mr. Amos’ termination date. In the event Mr. Amos’ employment is voluntarily or involuntarily terminated following the merger by and between Summit and Greater Atlantic, Mr. Amos would be entitled to a lump sum cash payment and health and welfare benefits equal to approximately $394,000.

Senior Officers’ Severance Compensation Plan. Effective on December 1, 1999, Greater Atlantic Bank implemented an Employee Severance Compensation Plan (the “Officer Plan”), to provide severance benefits to the following senior officers who are terminated, voluntarily or involuntarily from employment with Greater Atlantic Bank within one year of a change in control (as defined in the Officer

- 57 -

Table of Contents

Plan) of Greater Atlantic Bank or Greater Atlantic: Edward C. Allen, Justin R. Golden, Gary L. Hobert, Robert W. Neff and David E. Ritter. The severance benefits are paid in a lump sum cash payment within thirty days after termination equal in amount to the compensation paid to such participant during the twelve months immediately preceding the date of termination. The merger would constitute a change in control under the Officer Plan. Accordingly, if the employment of the participants is terminated within one year of the merger, then each Participant will receive the following severance benefits: Edward C. Allen - $121,000, Justin R. Golden - $101,000, Gary L. Hobert - $135,000, Robert W. Neff - $130,000 and David E. Ritter - $114,000.

Conversion of Stock Options. The merger agreement provides that each stock option granted to officers, employees and directors of Greater Atlantic under Greater Atlantic’s stock option plan and outstanding prior to the effective date of the merger will vest and holders of such options shall be entitled to receive cash in an amount equal to the difference between the value of (a) the merger consideration and (b) the applicable exercise price (rounded to the nearest cent) for each outstanding option granted by Greater Atlantic to purchase shares of Greater Atlantic common stock. The following table sets forth the cash that will be paid to each executive officer of Greater Atlantic upon consummation of the merger in accordance with the terms of the merger agreement and assumes that the value for each share of stock of Greater Atlantic that will be exchanged in the merger is $6.00.

Employee Benefit Plans. Summit intends to provide the continuing employees of Greater Atlantic with employee benefit plans substantially similar to those provided to the employees of Summit. Employees of Greater Atlantic will receive credit for their service to Greater Atlantic in determining their eligibility and vesting in the benefit plans provided by Summit.

Termination of the Merger Agreement

The merger agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the closing in any of the following ways.

- 60 -

Table of Contents

The merger agreement may be terminated by mutual written consent of Greater Atlantic and Summit.

The merger agreement may be terminated by either Greater Atlantic or Summit if:

•

the approval of any governmental entity required for consummation of the merger is denied by a final nonappealable action of such governmental entity;

•

the merger has not been completed on or before March 31, 2008;

•

there has been a breach by the other party of any of its obligations under the merger agreement, which breach cannot be or has not been cured within 30 days following written notice to the breaching party of such breach; or

•

the merger agreement is not approved by the shareholders of Greater Atlantic.

The merger agreement may be terminated by Summit if Greater Atlantic’s board of directors fails to recommend the merger or withdraws, modifies or changes such recommendation in a manner adverse to Summit.

The merger agreement may be terminated by Greater Atlantic, if the Greater Atlantic board of directors determines that Greater Atlantic has received an unsolicited proposal that if consummated would result in a transaction more favorable to Greater Atlantic’s shareholders from a financial point of view, provided that Summit does not make a counteroffer that is at least as favorable to the other proposal and Greater Atlantic pays the termination fee described below.

Effect of Termination; Termination Fee

The provisions of the merger agreement relating to expenses and termination fees will continue in effect not withstanding termination of the merger agreement. If the merger agreement is validly terminated, the merger agreement will become void without any liability on the part of any party except termination will not relieve a breaching party from liability for any willful breach of the merger agreement.

Greater Atlantic has agreed to pay a cash termination fee to Summit equal to $750,000 if:

·	the merger agreement is terminated for failure to obtain the approval of Greater Atlantic’s shareholders, and before such time a competing acquisition proposal for Greater Atlantic has been made public and not withdrawn; or

·	Greater Atlantic terminates the merger agreement to accept a proposal by a third party that it believes is superior to Summit’s offer set forth in the merger agreement.

This termination fee would be payable as follows: (i) $250,000 no later than two (2) business days after the date of termination, (ii) $100,000 on the date that is one (1) year after the termination date, (iii) $100,000 on the date that is two (2) years after the termination date, and (iv) $300,000 on the date that is three (3) years after the termination date.

Greater Atlantic also has agreed to pay a cash termination fee to Summit equal to $250,000 if:

·	the merger agreement is terminated because Greater Atlantic’s board fails to recommend, withdraws, modifies, or changes its recommendation of the merger before the special meeting;

- 61 -

Table of Contents

·	Summit terminates the merger agreement due to a breach by Greater Atlantic of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement; or

·	the merger agreement is terminated due to a failure to consummate the merger by March 31, 2008, unless the failure of the merger to be consummated by that date arises out of or results from the knowing action or inaction of Summit.

This termination fee would be payable no later than two (2) business days after the date of termination.

Waiver and Amendment

Prior to the effective time of the merger, any provision of the merger agreement may be waived by the party benefiting by the provision or amended or modified by an agreement in writing between the parties, except that, after the special meeting, the merger agreement may not be amended if it would violate the Delaware General Corporation Law or the West Virginia Business Corporation Act.

Indemnification

Summit has agreed to indemnify the directors, officers and employees of Greater Atlantic for a period of three (3) years from the effective time of the merger to the fullest extent that Greater Atlantic is permitted or required to indemnify (and advance expenses to) its directors, officers and employees under the laws of the State of Delaware and Greater Atlantic’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws.

Acquisition Proposals

Greater Atlantic has agreed that it will not, and that it will cause its officers, directors, agents, advisors, and affiliates not to: solicit or encourage inquiries or proposals with respect to engage in any negotiations concerning, or provide any confidential information to any person relating to any proposal to acquire the stock or assets of Greater Atlantic or other business combination transactions with Greater Atlantic, unless the Greater Atlantic board of directors concludes in good faith, after consultation with and consideration of the advice of outside counsel, that the failure to enter into such discussions or negotiations or resolving to accept such acquisition proposal, would constitute a breach of its fiduciary duties to shareholders under applicable law. If the board of directors of Greater Atlantic is obligated by its fiduciary duties to accept a third party proposal that it believes is superior to Summit’s offer set forth in the merger agreement, Greater Atlantic is obligated to pay to Summit the termination fee equal to $750,000. See “Effect of Termination; Termination Fee” beginning on page 61.

Closing Date; Effective Time

The merger will be consummated and become effective upon the issuance of a certificate of merger by the West Virginia Secretary of State and the Delaware Division of Corporations (or on such other date as may be specified in the articles of merger to be filed with the West Virginia Secretary of State and the Delaware Division of Corporations). Unless otherwise agreed to by Summit or Greater Atlantic, the closing of the merger will take place on the fifth business day to occur after the last of the conditions to the merger has been satisfied or waived, or such other date to which Summit and Greater Atlantic agree in writing.

Regulatory Approvals

The merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement require the approval of the Federal Reserve Board. As a bank holding company, Summit is subject to regulation under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956. Greater Atlantic Bank is a federally-chartered savings bank, regulated by the Office of Thrift Supervision. Summit Community Bank is a West Virginia

- 62 -

Table of Contents

banking corporation, is a non-member bank and is subject to the State Banking Code of West Virginia. Summit and Greater Atlantic have filed all required applications seeking approval of the merger with the Federal Reserve.

Under the Bank Holding Company Act, the Federal Reserve Board is required to examine the financial and managerial resources and future prospects of the combined organization and analyze the capital structure and soundness of the resulting entity. The Federal Reserve Board has the authority to deny an application if it concludes that the combined organization would have inadequate capital. In addition, the Federal Reserve Board can withhold approval of the merger if, among other things, it determines that the effect of the merger would be to substantially lessen competition in the relevant market. Further, the Federal Reserve must consider whether the combined organization meets the requirements of the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 by assessing the involved entities’ records of meeting the credit needs of the local communities in which they operate, consistent with the safe and sound operation of such institutions. The Federal Reserve has ninety (90) days from the date of filing the application to act on the application.

On October 2, 2007, Summit filed an application with the Federal Reserve seeking approval of the merger. On November 2, 2007, the Federal Reserve requested additional information from Summit to complete the processing of the application, including additional pro forma financial information, cash flow projections, and an action plan with respect to the integration of Greater Atlantic’s operations. At the time Summit received the request for additional information, Summit was negotiating the settlement of the Corinthian litigation and Summit was uncertain as to whether it would exercise the cash alternative or elect to acquire Commonwealth Savingshares Corporation. Acordingly, Summit was unable to respond immediately to the Federal Reserve’s request for additional information.

On December 18, 2007, Summit requested the Federal Reserve to suspend processing of the application until the staff of the Federal Reserve and Summit consented to the continuation of the processing of the application. Summit made that request in order to gain sufficient time to respond to the Federal Reserve’s request for additional information, to obtain a commitment for the issuance of $10 million in subordinated debt and to provide sufficient time for the Federal Reserve to review the application within the Federal Reserve’s established ninety (90) day processing period.

On January 14, 2008, and January 28, 2008, Summit filed additional information with the Federal Reserve, including updated pro forma financial information, which included the proposed subordinated debt issuance, and cash flow projections that the Federal Reserve has requested as of that date. As of the mailing date of this proxy statement/prospectus, Summit has filed the supplementary information that the Federal Reserve has requested as of that date. The Federal Reserve has informed Summit that it will review the information that has been filed in support of the application and, if it deems the application complete, will reactivate Summit’s application immediately before rendering a decision on it. Summit has requested that the Federal Reserve render a decision on the application before March 31, 2008.

The merger cannot be consummated prior to receipt of all required approvals. There can be no assurance that required regulatory approvals for the merger will be obtained and, if the merger is approved, as to the date of such approvals or whether the approvals will contain any unacceptable conditions. Summit and Greater Atlantic are not aware of any governmental approvals or actions that may be required for consummation of the merger other than as described above. Should any other approval or action be required, it is presently contemplated that such approval or action would be sought. There can be no assurance that any necessary regulatory approvals or actions will be timely received or taken, that no action will be brought challenging such approval or action or, if such a challenge is brought, as to the result thereof, or that any such approval or action will not be conditioned in a manner that would cause the parties to abandon the merger.

The approval of any application merely implies the satisfaction of regulatory criteria for approval, which does not include review of the merger from the standpoint of the adequacy of the cash

consideration or the exchange ratio for converting Greater Atlantic common stock to Summit common stock. Furthermore, regulatory approvals do not constitute an endorsement or recommendation of the merger.

Conduct of Business Pending the Merger

The merger agreement contains reciprocal forbearances made by Greater Atlantic and Summit to each other. Greater Atlantic and Summit have agreed that, until the effective time of the merger, each of them and each of their subsidiaries, without the prior written consent of the other, will not:

Accounting Treatment

The merger will be accounted for under the “purchase” method of accounting. Under the purchase method of accounting, the tangible assets and liabilities of Greater Atlantic, as of the completion of the merger, will be recorded at their fair values as well as any identifiable intangible assets. Any remaining excess purchase price will be allocated to goodwill and will not be amortized. Instead, goodwill is evaluated for impairment annually. Financial statements of Summit issued after the consummation of the merger will reflect such values and will not be restated retroactively to reflect the historical position or results of operations of Greater Atlantic. The operating results of Greater Atlantic will be reflected in Summit’s consolidated financial statements from and after the date the merger is consummated.

Management and Operations after the Merger

Board of Directors. The current board of directors of Summit will continue to serve as the board of directors after the merger.

Management. The current executive officers of Summit will continue to serve as executive officers after the Merger.

Resales of Summit Common Stock

The shares of Summit common stock to be issued to shareholders of Greater Atlantic under the merger agreement have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and may be freely traded without restriction by holders. including holders who were affiliates of Greater Atlantic on the date of the special meeting. All directors and executive officers of Greater Atlantic are considered affiliates of Greater Atlantic for this purpose.

CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE MERGER

General

The following summary sets forth the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger to the holders of Greater Atlantic common stock who exchange such stock for a combination of the cash and Summit common stock. The tax consequences under state, local and foreign laws are not addressed in this summary. The following summary is based upon the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, Treasury regulations, administrative rulings and court decisions in effect as of the date hereof, all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. Such a change could affect the continuing validity of this summary. No assurance can be given that the Internal Revenue Service would not assert, or that a court would not sustain, a position contrary to any of the tax consequences set forth below.

The following summary addresses only shareholders who are citizens or residents of the United States who hold their Greater Atlantic common stock as a capital asset. It does not address all the tax consequences that may be relevant to particular shareholders in light of their individual circumstances or to shareholders that are subject to special rules, including, without limitation: financial institutions; tax-exempt organizations; S corporations, partnerships or other pass-through entities (or an investor in an S

corporation, partnership or other pass-through entities); insurance companies; mutual funds; dealers in stocks or securities, or foreign currencies; foreign holders; a trader in securities who elects the mark-to-market method of accounting for the securities; persons that hold shares as a hedge against currency risk, a straddle or a constructive sale or conversion transaction; holders who acquired their shares pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation or through a tax-qualified retirement plan; holders of Greater Atlantic stock options, stock warrants or debt instruments; and holders subject to the alternative minimum tax.

The Merger

No ruling has been, or will be, sought from the Internal Revenue Service as to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger. Consummation of the merger is conditioned upon Summit’s receiving an opinion from Hunton & Williams, LLP to the effect that, based upon facts, representations and assumptions set forth in such opinions, the merger constitutes a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code. The issuance of the opinion is conditioned on, among other things, such tax counsel’s receipt of representation letters from each of Greater Atlantic or Summit, in each case in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such counsel. Opinions of counsel are not binding on the Internal Revenue Service.

Based upon the above assumptions and qualifications, for U.S. federal income tax purposes the merger will constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code. Each of Greater Atlantic and Summit will be a party to the merger within the meaning of Section 368(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, and neither of Greater Atlantic or Summit will recognize any gain or loss as a result of the merger.

Consequences to Shareholders

Exchange of Greater Atlantic Common Stock for Summit Common Stock and Cash. A holder of Greater Atlantic common stock who exchanges his or her Greater Atlantic common stock actually owned for a combination of cash and common stock of Summit will recognize income or gain in an amount equal to the lesser of (a) the amount of cash received, or (b) the gain realized on the exchange. The gain realized on the exchange will equal the fair market value of Summit common stock received plus the amount of cash received, less the holder’s adjusted tax basis in the shares of Greater Atlantic common stock exchanged by the holder. No loss may be recognized by a holder of Greater Atlantic common stock from the combined distribution of cash and Summit common stock or the stock distribution.

Cash in Lieu of Fractional Shares. Holders of Greater Atlantic common stock who receive cash in lieu of fractional shares of Summit common stock in the merger generally will be treated as if the fractional shares of Summit common stock had been distributed to them as part of the merger, and then redeemed by Summit in exchange for the cash actually distributed in lieu of the fractional shares, with the redemption generally qualifying as an “exchange” under Section 302 of the Internal Revenue Code, as described below. Consequently, those holders generally will recognize capital gain or loss with respect to the cash payments they receive in lieu of fractional shares measured by the difference between the amount of cash received and the tax basis allocated to the fractional shares.

Possible Treatment of Cash as a Dividend. Whether the cash received by a holder of Greater Atlantic common stock, in those situations described in the immediately preceding two paragraphs, will be treated as capital gain or as ordinary dividend income is determined under the principles of Section 302 of the Internal Revenue Code. In applying these principles, the holder is treated as if shares of Summit common stock having a fair market value equal to the cash paid to the holder had been distributed by Summit to the holder with such shares of Summit common stock then being redeemed by Summit in return for the cash. If this hypothetical redemption constitutes an “exchange” under Section 302 of the Internal Revenue Code, taking into account the holder’s actual and constructive ownership of Greater Atlantic common stock under Section 318 of the Internal Revenue Code, the holder of Greater

- 67 -

Table of Contents

Atlantic common stock who receives cash will recognize capital gain measured by the difference between that holder’s adjusted basis for the Greater Atlantic common stock exchanged and the cash received. If the hypothetical redemption does not qualify as an “exchange” under Section 302 of the Internal Revenue Code, the cash received by the holder will be treated as ordinary dividend income, generally to the extent of the holder’s ratable share of accumulated earnings and profits. To the extent the cash distribution exceeds the holder’s ratable share of accumulated earnings and profits, the amount received will be applied against and reduce the holder’s adjusted basis in his or her stock and any excess will be treated as gain from the sale or exchange of the stock.

In general, whether this hypothetical redemption constitutes an “exchange” under Section 302 of the Internal Revenue Code will depend upon whether and to what extent the hypothetical redemption reduces the holder’s percentage stock ownership in Summit. The hypothetical redemption will be treated as an “exchange” if, under the principles of Section 302 of the Internal Revenue Code, the hypothetical redemption is (a) ”substantially disproportionate,” (b) ”not essentially equivalent to a dividend” or (c) results in a “complete termination” of the holder’s interest in Summit common stock.

In general, the determination of whether the hypothetical redemption will be “substantially disproportionate” will require a comparison of (x) the percentage of the outstanding voting stock of Summit that the holder of Greater Atlantic common stock is deemed to actually and constructively own immediately before the hypothetical redemption by Summit and (y) the percentage of the outstanding voting stock of Summit actually and constructively owned by the holder immediately after the hypothetical redemption by Summit. Generally, the hypothetical redemption will be “substantially disproportionate” to a holder of Greater Atlantic common stock if the percentage described in (y) above is less than 80% of the percentage described in (x) above.

Whether the hypothetical redemption is “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” with respect to the holder will depend on the holder’s particular circumstances. In order for the hypothetical redemption to be “not essentially equivalent to a dividend,” the hypothetical redemption must result in a “meaningful reduction” in the holder’s percentage stock ownership of the merged company’s common stock. The Internal Revenue Service has ruled that a minority shareholder in a publicly traded corporation whose relative stock interest is minimal and who exercises no control with respect to corporate affairs is considered to have a “meaningful reduction” generally if such shareholder has some reduction in such shareholder’s percentage stock ownership. Holders should consult their tax advisors as to the applicability of the ruling to their own individual circumstances.

The hypothetical redemption will result in a “complete termination” of the holder’s interest in Summit common stock if all of the shares actually owned by the holder are exchanged pursuant to the merger and the holder is eligible to waive, and effectively waives, the attribution of shares constructively owned by the holder in accordance with the procedures described in Section 302(c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code. Only family attribution, as referred to below, may be waived under Section 302(c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code.

Taxation of Capital Gain. Any capital gain recognized by any holder of Greater Atlantic common stock under the above discussion will be long-term capital gain if the holder has held the Greater Atlantic common stock for more than twelve months at the time of the exchange. In the case of a non-corporate holder, that long-term capital gain may be subject to a maximum federal income tax of 15%. The deductibility of capital losses by shareholders may be limited.

Basis in Summit Common Stock. Each holder’s aggregate tax basis in Summit common stock received in the merger will be the same as the holder’s aggregate tax basis in the Greater Atlantic common stock exchanged, decreased by the amount of any cash received in the merger and by the amount of any tax basis allocable to any fractional share interest for which cash is received and increased by any gain recognized in the exchange. The holding period of Summit common stock received by a holder in the merger will include the holding period of the Greater Atlantic common stock exchanged in the merger

- 68 -

Table of Contents

to the extent the Greater Atlantic common stock exchanged is held as a capital asset at the time of the merger.

Constructive Ownership. In applying the constructive ownership provisions of Section 318 of the Internal Revenue Code, a holder of Greater Atlantic common stock may be deemed to own stock that is owned directly or indirectly by other persons, such as certain family members and entities such as trusts, corporations, partnerships or other entities in which the holder has an interest. Since the constructive ownership provisions are complex, holders should consult their tax advisors as to the applicability of these provisions.

Backup Withholding and Reporting Requirements

Holders of Greater Atlantic common stock, other than certain exempt recipients, may be subject to backup withholding at a rate of 28% with respect to any cash payment received in the merger. However, backup withholding will not apply to any holder who either (a) furnishes a correct taxpayer identification number and certifies that he or she is not subject to backup withholding by completing the substitute Form W-9 that will be included as part of the election form and the transmittal letter, or (b) otherwise proves to Summit and its exchange agent that the holder is exempt from backup withholding.

Shareholders will also be required to file certain information with their federal income tax returns and to retain certain records with regard to the merger.

The discussion of U.S. federal income tax consequences set forth above is for general information only and does not purport to be a complete analysis or listing of all potential tax effects that may apply to a holder of Greater Atlantic common stock. We strongly encourage shareholders of Greater Atlantic to consult their tax advisors to determine the particular tax consequences to them of the merger, including the application and effect of federal, state, local, foreign and other tax laws.

The FDIC may prohibit dividends if it deems the payment to be an unsafe or unsound banking practice. The FDIC has issued guidelines for dividend payments by state non-member banks emphasizing that proper dividend size depends on the bank’s earnings and capital.

Preferred Stock

Summit’s Board of Directors has the authority to issue preferred stock of Summit in one or more series. Upon issuance, all shares of preferred stock will be of equal rank and will be identical, except as to the following relative rights and preferences which may be fixed and determined by the Board of Directors, as to which there may be variations between different series:

the rate of dividends;

whether shares may be redeemed and, if so, the redemption price and the terms and conditions of redemption;

the amount payable upon shares in event of voluntary and involuntary liquidation;

sinking fund provisions, if any, for the redemption or purchase of shares;

the terms and conditions, if any, on which shares may be converted; and

voting rights, if any.

The Board of Directors authorized a series of preferred stock consisting of up to Forty Thousand (40,000) shares, par value $1.00 per share, designated and known as “Rockingham National Bank Series Convertible Preferred Stock”. These shares were offered in connection with the development of a banking office in the Harrisonburg and Rockingham County, Virginia area. All of the shares issued in connection with this offering have been converted to common shares of Summit. Summit has no plans to issue any shares of the Rockingham National Bank Series Convertible Preferred Stock.

Preemptive Rights

No holder of any share of the capital stock of Summit has any preemptive right to subscribe to an additional issue of its capital stock or to any security convertible into such stock.

Indemnification and Limitations on Liability of Officers and Directors

As permitted by the West Virginia Business Corporation Act, the articles of incorporation of Summit contain provisions that indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by West Virginia law. These provisions do not limit or eliminate the rights of Summit or any shareholder to seek an injunction or any other non-monetary relief in the event of a breach of a director’s or officer’s fiduciary duty. In addition, these provisions apply only to claims against a director or officer arising out of his role as a director or officer and do not relieve a director or officer from liability if he engaged in willful misconduct or a knowing violation of the criminal law or any federal or state securities law.

In addition, the articles of incorporation of Summit provide for the indemnification of both directors and officers for expenses that they incur in connection with the defense or settlement of claims asserted against them in their capacities as directors and officers. This right of indemnification extends to judgments or penalties assessed against them. Summit has limited its exposure to liability for indemnification of directors and officers by purchasing directors and officers liability insurance coverage.

The rights of indemnification provided in the articles of incorporation of Summit are not exclusive of any other rights that may be available under any insurance or other agreement, by vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

Shares Eligible for Future Sale

All of the shares that will be exchanged for shares of Summit common stock upon consummation of the merger will be freely tradable without restriction or registration under the Securities Act, except for shares owned by “affiliates” as described under “Resales of Summit Common Stock” on page 66.

Summit cannot predict the effect, if any, that future sales of shares of its common stock, or the availability of shares for future sales, will have on the market price prevailing from time to time. Sales of substantial amounts of shares of our common stock, or the perception that such sales could occur, could adversely affect the prevailing market price of the shares.

COMPARATIVE RIGHTS OF SHAREHOLDERS

The rights of Summit’s shareholders are governed by the West Virginia Business Corporation Act and the rights of Greater Atlantic’s shareholders are governed by the Delaware General Corporation Law. The rights of shareholders under both corporations are also governed by their respective articles/certificate of incorporation and bylaws. Following the merger, the rights of Greater Atlantic’s shareholders will be governed by the articles of incorporation and bylaws of Summit, and by the West Virginia Business Corporation Act. This summary does not purport to be a complete discussion of, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, Greater Atlantic’s articles of incorporation and bylaws, Summit’s articles of incorporation and bylaws and West Virginia and Delaware law.

Authorized Capital Stock

Summit Financial Group, Inc.	Greater Atlantic Financial Corp.
20,000,000 shares of common stock, $2.50 par value per share, and 250,000 shares of preferred stock, $1.00 par value per share.	10,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, and 2,500,000 shares of preferred stock, no par value per share.

Size of Board of Directors

Summit Financial Group, Inc.	Greater Atlantic Financial Corp.
Summit’s bylaws provide that the board of directors shall consist of at least 9 and no more than 21 directors.

The bylaws of Greater Atlantic provide that the number of directors shall be such number as the majority of the whole board shall from time to time have designated, and in the absence of such designation, shall be 5. The board currently consists of 5 directors.

Cumulative Voting for Directors

Cumulative voting entitles each shareholder to cast an aggregate number of votes equal to the number of voting shares held, multiplied by the number of directors to be elected. Each shareholder may cast all of his or her votes for one nominee or distribute them among two or more nominees, thus permitting holders of less than a majority of the outstanding shares of voting stock to achieve board representation. Where cumulative voting is not permitted, holders of all outstanding shares of voting stock of a corporation elect the entire board of directors of the corporation, thereby precluding the election of any directors by the holders of less than a majority of the outstanding shares of voting stock.

Summit Financial Group, Inc.	Greater Atlantic Financial Corp.
Summit stockholders are allowed to cumulate their votes in the election of directors. Each share of Summit stock may be voted for as many individuals as there are directors to be elected. Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the holders entitled to vote at the meeting.	Greater Atlantic stockholders may not cumulate their votes for the election of directors. Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the holders entitled to vote at the meeting.

Any directorship to be filled by reason of a vacancy may be filled for the unexpired term of his predecessor in office.

Greater Atlantic’s bylaws provide that, unless the board of directors otherwise determines, newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors or any vacancies in the board of directors resulting from death, resignation, retirement, disqualify-cation, removal from office or other cause may be filled only by a majority vote of the directors then in office, though less than a quorum, and directors so chosen shall hold office for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders at which the term of office of the class to which they have been elected expires and until such director's successor shall have been duly elected and qualified.

Removal of Directors

Summit Financial Group, Inc.	Greater Atlantic Financial Corp.
Under West Virginia law, any member of the board may be removed, with or without cause, by the affirmative vote of a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast for the election of directors; provided, however, that a director may not be removed if the number of votes sufficient to elect the director under cumulative voting is voted against the director’s removal.	Under Delaware law, subject to the rights of preferred stockholders, any director, or the entire board of directors, may be removed from office at any time, but only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of at least 80% of the voting power of the then-outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors voting together as a single class.

Summit’s articles of incorporation additionally provide that neither Summit nor any of its subsidiaries shall become a party to any “business combination” unless certain fair price requirements are satisfied.

An “interested stockholder” generally means a person who is a greater than 10% stockholder of Greater Atlantic or who is an affiliate of Greater Atlantic and at any time within the past two years was a greater than 10% stockholder of Greater Atlantic.

Shareholder Action Without a Meeting

Summit Financial Group, Inc.

Greater Atlantic Financial Corp.

Summit’s bylaws provide that any action required to be taken at a meeting of the shareholders may be taken without a meeting if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by all of the shareholders entitled to vote on the matter at issue.

Under Delaware law, unless limited by the certificate of incorporation, any action that could be taken by shareholders at a meeting may be taken without a meeting if a consent (or consents) in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is signed by the holders of record of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. Greater Atlantic’s certificate of incorporation does not contain a provision limiting such action.

Calling Special Meetings of Shareholders

Summit Financial Group, Inc.

Greater Atlantic Financial Corp.

Special meetings of the shareholders may be called by the president or by the board of directors, and shall be called by the President if the holders of at least 10% of all the votes entitled to be cast on an issue to be considered at the proposed special meeting sign, date and deliver to Summit one or more written demands for the meeting describing the purpose or purposes for which it shall be held.

Vote Required for Amendments to Articles

of Incorporation and Certain Transactions

Summit Financial Group, Inc.

Greater Atlantic Financial Corp.

Summit’s articles of incorporation require the affirmative vote of holders of at least 66 2/3% of the then outstanding voting shares of Summit; provided, however, such vote shall not be required for any such amendment, change or repeal recommended to the stockholders by the favorable vote of not less than 66 2/3% of the directors of Summit, and any such amendment shall require only a majority vote.

West Virginia law provides that on matters other than the election of directors and certain extraordinary corporate actions, if a quorum is present, then action on a matter is approved if the votes cast favoring the action exceed the votes cast opposing the action, unless the vote of a greater number is required by law or the articles of incorporation or bylaws. The articles of incorporation or bylaws of Summit do not require a greater number. An abstention is not considered a “vote cast” for purposes of the voting requirements, but a stockholder who abstains in person or by proxy is considered present for purposes of the quorum requirement.

The articles of incorporation of Summit provide that at least 66 2/3% of the authorized, issued and outstanding voting shares of Summit must approve any merger or consolidation of Summit with another corporation or any sale, lease or exchange by liquidation or otherwise of all or substantially all of the assets of Summit unless such transaction has been previously approved by at least 66 2/3% of the board of directors in which case a simple majority vote of the shareholders shall be required.

Greater Atlantic’s certificate of incorporation reserves the right to amend or repeal any provision in the certificate of Incorporation in the manner prescribed by the laws of the State of Delaware; provided, however, that, notwithstanding any other provision of the certificate of incorporation or any provision of law which might otherwise permit a lesser vote or no vote, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 80% of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of the capital stock of the corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, are required to amend or repeal certain articles.

Delaware law provides that any amendment to the certificate of incorporation must first be proposed by the board of directors in a resolution setting forth the proposed amendment, declaring its advisability and submitting it to the stockholders entitled to vote on approval of the amendment. It must then be submitted to the stockholders at the next annual meeting, or at a special meeting called for the purpose of considering the amendment or submitted for adoption by written consent. The affirmative vote required is a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote thereon.

Amendment of Bylaws

Summit Financial Group, Inc.

Greater Atlantic Financial Corp.

Under West Virginia law both the board of directors and stockholders have the power to amend the bylaws. Summit’s bylaws provide that the bylaws may only be altered, amended or repealed and new bylaws may only be adopted by the board of directors at a regular or special meeting of the board of directors by a vote of three fourths of the board of directors or by a majority of the stockholders.

The bylaws of Greater Atlantic provide that the board of directors may amend, alter or repeal the bylaws at any meeting of the board, provided notice of the proposed change was given not less than two (2) days prior to the meeting. The stockholders shall also have power to amend, alter or repeal the bylaws at any meeting of stockholders provided notice of the proposed change was given in the notice of the meeting, and provided there is the vote of at least 80% of the voting power of all the then-outstanding shares of the voting stock, voting together as a single class.

Appraisal Rights

Summit Financial Group, Inc.

Greater Atlantic Financial Corp.

Under West Virginia law, stockholders are generally entitled to object and receive payment of the fair value of their stock in the event of any of the following corporate actions: merger, transfer of all or substantially all of the corporation’s assets, participation in a share exchange as the corporation the stock of which is to be acquired, or an amendment to the articles of incorporation that reduces the number of shares of a class or series owned by stockholders to a fraction of a share if the corporation has the obligation or right to repurchase the fractional shares.

Delaware law provides that stockholders of a corporation who are voting on a merger or consolidation generally are entitled to dissent from the transaction and obtain payment of the fair value of their shares (so-called “appraisal rights”). Appraisal rights do not apply if, however, (1) the shares are listed on a national securities exchange or are held by 2,000 or more holders of record (not currently the case with respect to Greater Atlantic’s common stock) and (2) except for cash in lieu of fractional share interests, the shares are being exchanged for the shares of the surviving corporation of the merger or the shares of any other corporation, which shares of such other corporation will, as of the effective date of the merger or consolidation, be listed on a national securities exchange or be held of record by more than 2,000 holders. Appraisal rights also are not available to a corporation’s stockholders when the corporation will be the surviving corporation and a vote of its stockholders is not required to approve the merger.

Delaware law also provides that any corporation may provide in its certificate of incorporation that appraisal rights shall be available in connection with amendments to its certificate of incorporation, any merger to which the corporation is a party or the sale of all or substantially all of the corporation’s assets. Greater Atlantic’s certificate of incorporation contains no such provision.

Dividends

Summit Financial Group, Inc.

Greater Atlantic Financial Corp.

A West Virginia corporation generally may pay dividends in cash, property or its own shares except when the corporation is unable to pay its debts as they become due in the usual course of business or the corporation’s total assets would be less than the sum of its total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed, if the corporation were to be dissolved at the time of the dividend, to satisfy any stockholders who have rights superior to those receiving the dividend. Summit’s articles of incorporation provide that preferred stock will not pay any dividends.

Under Delaware law, stockholders are entitled, when declared by the board of directors, to receive dividends, subject to any restrictions contained in the certificate of incorporation and subject to any rights or preferences of any series of preferred stock. There are no express restrictions regarding dividends in Greater Atlantic’s certificate of incorporation.

Discharge of Duties; Exculpation and Indemnification

Summit Financial Group, Inc.

Greater Atlantic Financial Corp.

West Virginia law requires that a director of a West Virginia corporation discharge duties as a director in good faith, in a manner reasonably believed to be in the best interest of the corporation and with the care that a person in a like position would reasonably believe appropriate under similar circumstances. Summit’s articles of incorporation provide that each director or officer of Summit shall be indemnified for costs and expenses arising out of any civil suit or proceeding against the director or officer by reason of being a director or officer of Summit provided the director or officer acted in good faith and in a manner which the director or officer reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation.

With respect to any criminal proceeding, a director or officer shall be entitled to indemnification if such person had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.

However, a director or officer shall not be indemnified if he or she is adjudged in such suit or proceeding to be liable for gross negligence or willful misconduct in performance of a duty owed to the corporation.

The Delaware General Corporation Law requires directors to discharge their duties as a director in good faith, on an informed basis, with the care an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would exercise under similar circumstances, and in a manner reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the corporation.

Delaware law provides that a corporation may indemnify any director made party to any proceeding by reason of service in that capacity if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the person’s conduct was unlawful.

Delaware law also provides that a corporation may not indemnify a director in respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which the director has been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that, the Court of Chancery or court where such action was brought determines indemnity is proper. Furthermore, directors shall be indemnified where they have been successful on the merits or otherwise.

Greater Atlantic’s certificate of incorporation provides that the corporation shall indemnify

- 80 -

Table of Contents

Summit Financial Group, Inc.

Greater Atlantic Financial Corp.

any director made party to a proceeding because he or she is or was serving as director against all expense, liability and loss to the fullest extent authorized by Delaware law.

Greater Atlantic’s certificate of incorporation also provides that a director shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders; (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (iii) for unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchases or redemption; or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

ADJOURNMENT OF THE MEETING

In the event that there are not sufficient votes to constitute a quorum or to approve the matters to be considered at the time of the special meeting, the merger agreement will not be approved unless the special meeting is adjourned to a later date or dates in order to permit further solicitation of proxies. In order to allow proxies that have been received at the time of the meeting to be voted for an adjournment, if necessary, Greater Atlantic is submitting the question of adjournment to its shareholders as a separate matter for their consideration. The board of directors of Greater Atlantic recommends that its shareholders vote FOR the adjournment proposal. If it is necessary to adjourn a meeting, no notice of such adjourned meeting is required to be given to the company’s shareholders, other than an announcement at the special meeting of the place, date and time to which the meeting is adjourned, if the meeting is adjourned for 30 days or less.

The board of directors of Greater Atlantic recommends that you vote “FOR” approval of this proposal.

LEGAL MATTERS

Hunton & Williams LLP will opine as to the qualification of the merger as a reorganization and the tax treatment of the consideration paid in connection with the merger under the Internal Revenue Code. Bowles Rice McDavid Graff & Love LLP has opined as to the legality of the common stock of Summit offered by this proxy statement/prospectus. Bowles Rice McDavid Graff & Love LLP rendered legal services to Summit and its subsidiaries during 2007 and it is expected that the firm will continue to render certain services to both in the future.

If the aggregate value of the Merger Consideration shall be adjusted pursuant to this Section 4.01(c), then the Stock Consideration and the Cash Consideration constituting the Merger Consideration, as so adjusted, shall be paid in the same proportion as the Stock Consideration and the Cash Consideration would have been paid pursuant to Section 4.01(a) without any adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.01(c).

(d) Outstanding Summit Stock. Each share of Summit Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain issued and outstanding and unaffected by the Merger.

Upon proper surrender of an Old Certificate for exchange and cancellation to the Exchange Agent, together with such properly completed letter of transmittal, duly executed, the holder of such Old Certificates shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefore (i) a New Certificate representing that number of whole shares of Summit Common Stock that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Article IV, if any, (ii) a check representing the amount of the cash that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Article IV, if any, (iii) a check representing the amount of any cash in lieu of fractional shares which such holder has the right to receive in respect of the Old Certificates surrendered pursuant to the provisions of this Article IV, and (iv) any payment required by Section 2.02(b), and the Old Certificates so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled.

(e) Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the stockholders of GAFC for twelve months after the Effective Time shall be paid to Summit. Any stockholders of GAFC who have not theretofore complied with this Article IV shall thereafter look only to Summit for payment of the Merger Consideration, cash in lieu of any fractional shares and unpaid dividends and distributions on Summit Common Stock deliverable in respect of each share of GAFC Common Stock such stockholder holds as determined pursuant to this Agreement, in each case, without any interest thereon.

(f) In the event any Old Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Old Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if reasonably required by Summit or the Exchange Agent, the posting by such person of a bond in such amount as Summit may determine is reasonably necessary as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Old Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Old Certificate the Merger Consideration deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement.

To GAFC’s knowledge, neither the conduct nor operation of GAFC or its Subsidiaries nor any condition of any property presently or previously owned, leased or operated by any of them (including, without limitation, in a fiduciary or agency capacity), or on which any of them holds a Lien, violates or violated Environmental Laws and to GAFC’s knowledge, no condition has existed or event has occurred with respect to any of them or any such property that, with notice or the passage of time, or both, is reasonably likely to result in liability under Environmental Laws. To GAFC’s knowledge, neither GAFC nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any notice from any person or entity that GAFC or its Subsidiaries or the operation or condition of any property ever owned, leased, operated, or held as collateral or in a fiduciary capacity by any of them are or were in violation of or otherwise are alleged to have liability under any Environmental Law, including, but not limited to, responsibility (or potential responsibility) for the cleanup or other remediation of any pollutants, contaminants, or hazardous or toxic wastes, substances or materials at, on, beneath, or originating from any such property.

(i) is in compliance with all applicable federal, state, local and foreign statutes, laws, regulations, ordinances, rules, judgments, orders or decrees applicable thereto or to the employees conducting such businesses, including, without limitation, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair Housing Act, the Community Reinvestment Act, the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act and all other applicable fair lending laws and other laws relating to discriminatory business practices;

(iii) has received, since December 31, 2004, no notification or communication from any Governmental Authority (A) asserting that Summit or any of its Subsidiaries is not in compliance with any of the statutes, regulations, or ordinances which such Governmental Authority enforces or (B) threatening to revoke any license, franchise, permit, or governmental authorization (nor, to Summit’s knowledge, do any grounds for any of the foregoing exist); and

(iv) since July 1, 2001, is in compliance with the privacy provisions of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, and all other applicable laws relating to consumer privacy.

(k) Employee Benefit Plans. (i) Summit’s Disclosure Schedule contains a complete and accurate list of all existing bonus, incentive, deferred compensation, pension, retirement, profit-sharing, thrift, savings, employee stock ownership, stock bonus, stock purchase, restricted stock, stock option, severance, welfare and fringe benefit plans, employment or severance agreements and all similar practices, policies and arrangements in which any current or former employee (the “Summit Employees”), current or former consultant (the “Summit Consultants”) or current or former director (the “Summit Directors”) of Summit or any of its Subsidiaries participates or to which any Summit Employees, Summit Consultants or Summit Directors are a party (the “Summit Compensation and Benefit Plans”).

(ii) Each Summit Compensation and Benefit Plan has been operated and administered in all material respects in accordance with its terms and with applicable law, including, but not limited to, ERISA, the Code, the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, or any regulations or rules promulgated thereunder, and all filings, disclosures and notices required by ERISA, the Code, the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act and any other applicable law have been timely made. Each Compensation and Benefit Plan which is an “employee pension benefit plan” within the meaning of Section 3(2) of ERISA (a “Summit Pension Plan”) and which is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable determination letter (including a determination that the related trust under such Summit Compensation and Benefit Plan is exempt from tax under Section 501(a) of the Code) from the IRS, and Summit is not aware of any circumstances likely to result in revocation of any such favorable determination letter. There is no material pending or, to the knowledge of Summit, threatened legal action, suit or claim

A-19

relating to the Summit Compensation and Benefit Plans other than routine claims for benefits. Neither Summit nor any of its Subsidiaries has engaged in a transaction, or omitted to take any action, with respect to any Summit Compensation and Benefit Plan that would reasonably be expected to subject Summit or any of its Subsidiaries to a tax or penalty imposed by either Section 4975 of the Code or Section 502 of ERISA, assuming for purposes of Section 4975 of the Code that the taxable period of any such transaction expired as of the date hereof.

(iii) No liability (other than for payment of premiums to the PBGC which have been made or will be made on a timely basis) under Title IV of ERISA has been or is expected to be incurred by Summit or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to any ongoing, frozen or terminated “single-employer plan”, within the meaning of Section 4001(a)(15) of ERISA, currently or formerly maintained by any of them, or any single-employer plan of any entity (an “Summit ERISA Affiliate”) which is considered one employer with Summit under Section 4001(a)(14) of ERISA or Section 414(b) or (c) of the Code (an “Summit ERISA Affiliate Plan”). None of Summit, any of its Subsidiaries or any Summit ERISA Affiliate has contributed, or has been obligated to contribute, to a multiemployer plan under Subtitle E of Title IV of ERISA at any time since September 26, 1980. No notice of a “reportable event”, within the meaning of Section 4043 of ERISA for which the 30-day reporting requirement has not been waived, has been required to be filed for any Summit Compensation and Benefit Plan or by any Summit ERISA Affiliate Plan within the 12-month period ending on the date hereof, and no such notice will be required to be filed as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The PBGC has not instituted proceedings to terminate any Pension Plan or Summit ERISA Affiliate Plan and, to Summit’s knowledge, no condition exists that presents a material risk that such proceedings will be instituted. To the knowledge of Summit, there is no pending investigation or enforcement action by the PBGC, the DOL or IRS or any other governmental agency with respect to any Summit Compensation and Benefit Plan. Under each Summit Pension Plan and Summit ERISA Affiliate Plan, as of the date of the most recent actuarial valuation performed prior to the date of this Agreement, the actuarially determined present value of all “benefit liabilities”, within the meaning of Section 4001(a)(16) of ERISA (as determined on the basis of the actuarial assumptions contained in such actuarial valuation of such Summit Pension Plan or Summit ERISA Affiliate Plan), did not exceed the then current value of the assets of such Summit Pension Plan or Summit ERISA Affiliate Plan and since such date there has been neither an adverse change in the financial condition of such Summit Pension Plan or Summit ERISA Affiliate Plan nor any amendment or other change to such Pension Plan or ERISA Affiliate Plan that would increase the amount of benefits thereunder which reasonably could be expected to change such result.

(iv) All contributions required to be made under the terms of any Summit Compensation and Benefit Plan or Summit ERISA Affiliate Plan or any employee benefit arrangements under any collective bargaining agreement to which Summit or any of its Subsidiaries is a party have been timely made or have been reflected on Summit’s financial statements. Neither any Summit Pension Plan nor any Summit ERISA Affiliate Plan has an “accumulated funding deficiency” (whether or not waived) within the meaning of Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA and all required payments to the PBGC with respect to each Summit Pension Plan or Summit ERISA Affiliate Plan have been made on or before their due dates. None of Summit, any of its Subsidiaries or any Summit ERISA Affiliate (x) has provided, or would reasonably be expected to be required to provide, security to any Summit Pension Plan or to any Summit ERISA Affiliate Plan pursuant to Section 401(a)(29) of the Code, and (y) has taken any action, or omitted to take any action, that has resulted, or would reasonably be expected to result, in the imposition of a lien under Section 412(n) of the Code or pursuant to ERISA.

(v) Neither Summit nor any of its Subsidiaries has any obligations to provide retiree health and life insurance or other retiree death benefits under any Summit Compensation and Benefit Plan, other than benefits mandated by Section 4980B of the Code, and each such Summit Compensation and Benefit Plan may be amended or terminated without incurring liability thereunder. There has been no communication to Employees by Summit or any of its Subsidiaries that would reasonably be expected to promise or guarantee such Employees retiree health or life insurance or other retiree death benefits on a permanent basis.

(vi) Summit and its Subsidiaries do not maintain any Summit Compensation and Benefit Plans covering foreign Employees.

(vii) With respect to each Summit Compensation and Benefit Plan, if applicable, Summit has provided or made available to GAFC, true and complete copies of existing: (A) Summit Compensation and Benefit Plan documents and amendments thereto; (B) trust instruments and insurance contracts; (C) two most recent Forms 5500 filed with the IRS; (D) most recent actuarial report and financial statement; (E) the most recent summary plan description; (F) forms filed with the PBGC (other than for premium payments); (G) most recent determination letter issued by the IRS; (H) any Form 5310 or Form 5330 filed with the IRS; and (I) most recent nondiscrimination tests performed under ERISA and the Code (including 401(k) and 401(m) tests).

A-20

(viii) The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement would not, directly or indirectly (including, without limitation, as a result of any termination of employment prior to or following the Effective Time) reasonably be expected to (A) entitle any Summit Employee, Summit Consultant or Summit Director to any payment (including severance pay or similar compensation) or any increase in compensation, (B) result in the vesting or acceleration of any benefits under any Summit Compensation and Benefit Plan or (C) result in any material increase in benefits payable under any Summit Compensation and Benefit Plan.

(ix) Neither Summit nor any of its Subsidiaries maintains any compensation plans, programs or arrangements the payments under which would not reasonably be expected to be deductible as a result of the limitations under Section 162(m) of the Code and the regulations issued thereunder.

(l) No Brokers. No action has been or will be taken by Summit that would give rise to any valid claim against any party hereto for a brokerage commission, finder’s fee or other like payment with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(m) Takeover Laws. Summit has taken all action required to be taken by it in order to exempt this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby from, and this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby are exempt from, the requirements of any Takeover Laws applicable to Summit.

(n) Environmental Matters. To Summit’s knowledge, neither the conduct nor operation of Summit or its Subsidiaries nor any condition of any property presently or previously owned, leased or operated by any of them (including, without limitation, in a fiduciary or agency capacity), or on which any of them holds a Lien, violates or violated Environmental Laws and to Summit’s knowledge no condition has existed or event has occurred with respect to any of them or any such property that, with notice or the passage of time, or both, is reasonably likely to result in liability under Environmental Laws. To Summit’s knowledge, neither Summit nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any notice from any person or entity that Summit or its Subsidiaries or the operation or condition of any property ever owned, leased, operated, or held as collateral or in a fiduciary capacity by any of them are or were in violation of or otherwise are alleged to have liability under any Environmental Law, including, but not limited to, responsibility (or potential responsibility) for the cleanup or other remediation of any pollutants, contaminants, or hazardous or toxic wastes, substances or materials at, on, beneath, or originating from any such property.

Neither Summit nor any of its Subsidiaries has any liability with respect to income, franchise or similar Taxes that accrued on or before the end of the most recent period covered by Summit’s SEC Documents filed prior to the date hereof in excess of the amounts accrued with respect thereto that are reflected in the financial statements included in Summit’s SEC Documents filed on or prior to the date hereof. As of the date hereof, neither Summit nor any of its Subsidiaries has any reason to believe that any conditions exist that might prevent or impede the Merger from qualifying as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.

(p) Books and Records. The books and records of Summit and its Subsidiaries have been fully, properly and accurately maintained in all material respects, and there are no material inaccuracies or discrepancies of any kind contained or reflected therein, and they fairly present the substance of events and transactions included therein.

(q) Insurance. Summit’s Disclosure Schedule lists all of the insurance policies, binders, or bonds maintained by Summit or its Subsidiaries. Summit and its Subsidiaries are insured with insurers believed to be reputable

A-21

against such risks and in such amounts as the management of Summit reasonably has determined to be prudent in accordance with industry practices. All such insurance policies are in full force and effect; Summit and its Subsidiaries are not in material default thereunder; and all claims thereunder have been filed in due and timely fashion.

The GAFC Board will recommend that the GAFC stockholders approve and adopt the Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, provided that the GAFC Board may fail to make such recommendation, or withdraw, modify or change any such recommendation, if the GAFC Board, after having consulted with and considered the advice of outside counsel, has determined that the making of such recommendation, or the failure to withdraw, modify or change such recommendation, would be reasonably likely to constitute a breach of the fiduciary duties of the members of the GAFC Board under applicable law.

7.03 Registration Statement. (a) Summit agrees to prepare a registration statement on Form S-4 (the “Registration Statement”) to be filed by Summit with the SEC in connection with the issuance of Summit Common Stock in the Merger (including the prospectus of Summit and proxy solicitation materials of GAFC constituting a part thereof (the “Proxy Statement”) and all related documents).

Each of GAFC and Summit further agrees that if it shall become aware prior to the Effective Date of any information furnished by it that would cause any of the statements in the Proxy Statement to be false or misleading with respect to any material fact, or to omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not false or misleading, to promptly inform the other party thereof and to take the necessary steps to correct the Proxy Statement.

(b) Each agrees that it will not, and will cause its representatives not to, use any information obtained pursuant to this Section 7.05 (as well as any other information obtained prior to the date hereof in connection with the entering into of this Agreement) for any purpose unrelated to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Subject to the requirements of law, each party will keep confidential, and will cause its representatives to keep confidential, all information and documents obtained pursuant to this Section 7.05 (as well as any other information obtained prior to the date hereof in connection with the entering into of this Agreement) unless such information (i) was already known to such party, (ii) becomes available to such party from other sources not known by such party to be bound by a confidentiality obligation, (iii) is disclosed with the prior written approval of the party to which such information pertains or (iv) is or becomes readily ascertainable from published information or trade sources. In the event that this Agreement is terminated or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall otherwise fail to be consummated, each party shall promptly cause all copies of documents or extracts thereof containing information and data as to another party hereto to be returned to the party which furnished the same. No investigation by either party of the business and affairs of the other shall affect or be deemed to modify or waive any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement, or the conditions to either party’s obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

A-23

(c) During the period from the date of this Agreement to the Effective Time, each party shall promptly furnish the other with copies of all monthly and other interim financial statements produced in the ordinary course of business as, the same shall become available.

7.06 Acquisition Proposals. GAFC agrees that it shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and its Subsidiaries’ officers, directors, agents, advisors and affiliates not to, solicit or encourage inquiries or proposals with respect to, or engage in any negotiations concerning, or provide any confidential information to, or have any discussions with any person relating to, any Acquisition Proposal. It shall immediately cease and cause to be terminated any activities, discussions or negotiations conducted prior to the date of this Agreement with any parties other than Summit with respect to any of the foregoing and shall use its reasonable best efforts to enforce any confidentiality or similar agreement relating to an Acquisition Proposal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, at any time the GAFC Board determines in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel, that failure to do so would be reasonably likely to constitute a breach of its fiduciary duties under applicable law, GAFC, in response to a written Acquisition Proposal that was unsolicited or that did not otherwise result from a breach of this Section 7.06, may furnish non-public information with respect to GAFC to the Person who made such Acquisition Proposal and participate in negotiations regarding such Acquisition Proposal.

(a) Not later than the 15th day prior to the mailing of the Proxy Statement, GAFC shall deliver to Summit a schedule of each person that, to the best of its knowledge, is or is reasonably likely to be, as of the date of the GAFC Meeting, deemed to be an “affiliate” of GAFC (each, a “GAFC Affiliate”) as that term is used in Rule 145 under the Securities Act.

(b) GAFC shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause each person who may be deemed to be a GAFC Affiliate to execute and deliver to Summit on or before the date of mailing of the Proxy Statement an agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.

7.09 Certain Policies. Immediately prior to the Effective Date, GAFC shall, consistent with generally accepted accounting principles and on a basis mutually satisfactory to it and Summit, modify and change its loan, litigation and real estate valuation policies and practices (including loan classifications and levels of reserves) so as to be applied on a basis that is consistent with that of Summit and shall make appropriate accruals for any employee benefits, plans, arrangements or obligations assumed by Summit under this Agreement; provided, however, that GAFC shall not be obligated to take any such action pursuant to this Section 7.09 unless and until Summit acknowledges that all conditions to its obligation to consummate the Merger have been satisfied and certifies to GAFC that Summit’s representations and warranties, subject to Section 6.02, are true and correct as of such date and that Summit is otherwise material in compliance with this Agreement. Summit and GAFC also shall consult with respect to the character, amount, and timing of restructuring and Merger-related expense charges to be taken by each of them in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and shall take such charges in accordance with GAAP as may be mutually agreed upon by them. GAFC’s representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Agreement shall not be deemed to be untrue or breached in any respect for any purpose as a consequence of any modifications or changes undertaken solely on account of this Section 7.09.

7.10 Regulatory Applications. (a) Summit and GAFC and their respective Subsidiaries shall cooperate and use their respective reasonable best efforts to prepare all documentation, to effect all filings and to obtain all permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of all third parties and Governmental Authorities necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each of Summit and GAFC shall have the right to review in advance, and to the extent practicable each will consult with the other, in each case subject to applicable laws relating to the exchange of information, with respect to, all material written information submitted to any third party or any Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In exercising the foregoing right, each of the parties hereto agrees to act reasonably and as promptly as practicable. Each party hereto agrees that it will consult with the other party hereto with respect to the obtaining of all material permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of all third parties and Governmental Authorities necessary or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and each party will keep the other party apprised of the status of material matters relating to completion of the transactions contemplated hereby.

A-24

(b) Each party agrees, upon request, to furnish the other party with all information concerning itself, its Subsidiaries, directors, officers and stockholders and such other matters as may be reasonably necessary or advisable in connection with any filing, notice or application made by or on behalf of such other party or any of its Subsidiaries to any third party or Governmental Authority.

7.11 Indemnification. (a) Following the Effective Date and for a period of three (3) years thereafter, Summit shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the present directors, officers and employees of GAFC and its Subsidiaries (each, an “Indemnified Party”) against all costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities (collectively, “Costs”) incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of actions or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (including, without limitation, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) to the fullest extent that GAFC is permitted or required to indemnify (and advance expenses to) its directors and officers under the laws of the State of Delaware, the GAFC Certificate, the GAFC By-Laws and any agreement as in effect on the date hereof; provided that any determination required to be made with respect to whether an officer’s, director’s or employee’s conduct complies with the standards set forth under Delaware law, the GAFC Certificate, the GAFC By-Laws and any agreement shall be made by independent counsel (which shall not be counsel that provides material services to Summit) selected by Summit and reasonably acceptable to such officer or director.

(b) Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under Section 7.11(a), upon learning of any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation described above, shall promptly notify Summit thereof; provided that the failure so to notify shall not affect the obligations of Summit under Section 7.11(a) unless and to the extent that Summit is actually prejudiced as a result of such failure.

(c) If Summit or any of its successors or assigns shall consolidate with or merge into any other entity and shall not be the continuing or surviving entity of such consolidation or merger or shall transfer all or substantially all of its assets to any entity, then and in each case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Summit shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 7.11.

(d) The provisions of this Section 7.11 shall survive the Effective Time and are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Party and his or her heirs and representatives.

7.12 Benefit Plans. (a) It is the intention of Summit that within a reasonable period of time following the Effective Time (i) it will provide employees of GAFC with employee benefit plans substantially similar in the aggregate to those provided to similarly situated employees of Summit, (ii) Summit shall cause any and all pre-existing condition limitations (to the extent such limitations did not apply to a pre-existing condition under the Compensation and Benefit Plans) and eligibility waiting periods under group health plans to be waived with respect to such participants and their eligible dependents, and (iii) all GAB employees will receive credit for years of service with GAFC and its predecessors prior to the Effective Time for purposes of eligibility and vesting and not for purposes of benefit accrual under Summit’s benefit plans. Summit shall maintain GAFC’s existing employee benefit plans until such time as Summit has provided similar plans to GAFC’s employees as contemplated in the preceding sentence. GAB employees shall not be entitled to accrual of benefits or allocation of contributions under Summit’s benefit plans based on years of service with GAFC and its predecessors prior to the Effective Date.

(b) Immediately prior to the Effective Date, GAFC shall take such action as may be necessary to terminate its 401(k) plan, including accruing the estimated expense associated with terminating the 401(k) plan. Following the receipt of a favorable determination letter from the IRS relating to the termination of the 401(k) plan, the assets of the plan shall be distributed to participants as provided in the plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the 401(k) plan trustee may make distributions to all non-continuing GAB employees before the receipt of a favorable determination letter. In the event a favorable ruling is not issued, GAFC agrees that termination of the 401(k) plan shall not occur and the 401(k) plan shall be merged with Summit’s 401(k) plan.

7.13 Notification of Certain Matters. Each of GAFC and Summit shall give prompt notice to the other of any fact, event or circumstance known to it that (i) is reasonably likely, individually or taken together with all other facts, events and circumstances known to it, to result in any Material Adverse Effect with respect to it or (ii) would cause or constitute a material breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained herein.

7.14 Current Public Information. Summit agrees that it shall, for a period of three (3) years following the Effective Time, use its best efforts to meet the current public information requirements as set forth in paragraph (c) of Rule

A-25

The provisions of this Section 7.14 shall survive the Effective Time and are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, such affiliates of GAFC.

7.15 Contractual Rights of Current Employees. At and following the Effective Time, Summit shall honor, and Summit shall continue to be obligated to perform, in accordance with their terms, all benefit obligations to, and contractual rights of, current and former employees of GAFC and its Subsidiaries existing as of the Effective Date, as well as all employment, severance, deferred compensation, split dollar life insurance or “change-in-control” agreements, plans or policies of GAFC and its Subsidiaries which are Previously Disclosed.

7.17 Transition. Commencing on the date hereof, and in all cases subject to applicable law and regulation, GAFC shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, cooperate with Summit and its Subsidiaries to facilitate the integration of the parties and their respective businesses effective as of the Closing Date or such later date as may be determined by Summit. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, from the date hereof through the Closing Date and consistent with the performance of their day-to-day operations and the continuous operation of GAFC and its Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business, GAFC shall cause the employees and officers of GAFC and its Subsidiaries to use their reasonable best efforts to provide support, including support from its outside contractors and vendors, and to assist Summit in performing all tasks, including equipment installation, reasonably required to result in a successful integration at the Closing or such later date as may be determined by Summit.

I further understand that as a result of the Merger, I may receive shares of common stock, par value $2.50 per share, of Summit (“Summit Stock”) in exchange for shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of GAFC (“GAFC Stock”).

I have carefully read this letter and reviewed the Agreement and discussed their requirements and other applicable limitations upon my ability to sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of Summit Stock, to the extent I felt necessary, with my counsel or counsel for GAFC.

I represent, warrant and covenant with and to Summit that in the event I receive any Summit Stock as a result of the Merger:

1. I shall not make any sale, transfer, or other disposition of such Summit Stock unless (i) such sale, transfer or other disposition has been registered under the Securities Act, (ii) such sale, transfer or other disposition is made in conformity with the provisions of Rule 145 under the Securities Act (as such rule may be amended from time to time), or (iii) in the opinion of counsel in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Summit, or under a “no-action” letter obtained by me from the staff of the SEC, such sale, transfer or other disposition will not violate or is otherwise exempt from registration under the Securities Act.

2. I understand that Summit is under no obligation to register the sale, transfer or other disposition of shares of Summit Stock by me or on my behalf under the Securities Act or to take any other action necessary in order to make compliance with an exemption from such registration available.

3. I understand that stop transfer instructions will be given to Summit’s transfer agent with respect to shares of Summit Stock issued to me as a result of the Merger and that there will be placed on the certificates for such shares, or any substitutions therefor, a legend stating in substance:

The shares represented by this certificate were issued in a transaction to which Rule 145 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933 applies. The shares represented by this certificate may be transferred only in accordance with the terms of a letter agreement, dated _____________, between the registered holder hereof and SUMMIT FINANCIAL GROUP, INC., a copy of which agreement is on file at the principal offices of SUMMIT FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.”

4. I understand that, unless transfer by me of the Summit Stock issued to me as a result of the Merger has been registered under the Securities Act or such transfer is made in conformity with the provisions of Rule 145(d) under the Securities Act, Summit reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to place the following legend on the certificates issued to my transferee:

A-32

The shares represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and were acquired from a person who received such shares in a transaction to which Rule 145 under the Securities Act of 1933 applies. The shares have been acquired by the holder not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 and may not be offered, sold, pledged or otherwise transferred except in accordance with an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933.”

It is understood and agreed that the legends set forth in paragraphs (3) and (4) above shall be removed by delivery of substitute certificates without such legends if I shall have delivered to Summit (i) a copy of a “no action” letter from the staff of the SEC, or an opinion of counsel in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Summit, to the effect that such legend is not required for purposes of the Act, or (ii) evidence or representations satisfactory to Summit that the Summit Stock represented by such certificates is being or has been sold in conformity with the provisions of Rule 145(d).

I further understand and agree that this letter agreement shall apply to all shares of Summit Stock that I am deemed to beneficially own pursuant to applicable federal securities law.

Very truly yours,

Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law

DELAWARE CODE ANNOTATED

TITLE 8. CORPORATIONS

CHAPTER 1. GENERAL CORPORATION LAW

SUBCHAPTER IX. MERGER, CONSOLIDATION OR CONVERSION

8 Del. C. § 262 (2008)

§ 262. Appraisal rights

(a) Any stockholder of a corporation of this State who holds shares of stock on the date of the making of a demand pursuant to subsection (d) of this section with respect to such shares, who continuously holds such shares through the effective date of the merger or consolidation, who has otherwise complied with subsection (d) of this section and who has neither voted in favor of the merger or consolidation nor consented thereto in writing pursuant to § 228 of this title shall be entitled to an appraisal by the Court of Chancery of the fair value of the stockholder's shares of stock under the circumstances described in subsections (b) and (c) of this section. As used in this section, the word "stockholder" means a holder of record of stock in a stock corporation and also a member of record of a nonstock corporation; the words "stock" and "share" mean and include what is ordinarily meant by those words and also membership or membership interest of a member of a nonstock corporation; and the words "depository receipt" mean a receipt or other instrument issued by a depository representing an interest in one or more shares, or fractions thereof, solely of stock of a corporation, which stock is deposited with the depository.

(b) Appraisal rights shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock of a constituent corporation in a merger or consolidation to be effected pursuant to § 251 (other than a merger effected pursuant to § 251(g) of this title), § 252, § 254, § 257, § 258, § 263 or § 264 of this title:

(1) Provided, however, that no appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock, which stock, or depository receipts in respect thereof, at the record date fixed to determine the stockholders entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the meeting of stockholders to act upon the agreement of merger or consolidation, were either (i) listed on a national securities exchange or (ii) held of record by more than 2,000 holders; and further provided that no appraisal rights shall be available for any shares of stock of the constituent corporation surviving a merger if the merger did not require for its approval the vote of the stockholders of the surviving corporation as provided in subsection (f) of § 251 of this title.

(2) Notwithstanding paragraph (1) of this subsection, appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock of a constituent corporation if the holders thereof are required by the terms of an agreement of merger or consolidation pursuant to §§ 251, 252, 254, 257, 258, 263 and 264 of this title to accept for such stock anything except:

a. Shares of stock of the corporation surviving or resulting from such merger or consolidation, or depository receipts in respect thereof;

b. Shares of stock of any other corporation, or depository receipts in respect thereof, which shares of stock (or depository receipts in respect thereof) or depository receipts at the effective date of the merger or consolidation will be either listed on a national securities exchange or held of record by more than 2,000 holders;

c. Cash in lieu of fractional shares or fractional depository receipts described in the foregoing subparagraphs a. and b. of this paragraph; or

d. Any combination of the shares of stock, depository receipts and cash in lieu of fractional shares or fractional depository receipts described in the foregoing subparagraphs a., b. and c. of this paragraph.

(3) In the event all of the stock of a subsidiary Delaware corporation party to a merger effected under § 253 of this title is not owned by the parent corporation immediately prior to the merger, appraisal rights shall be available for the shares of the subsidiary Delaware corporation.

(c) Any corporation may provide in its certificate of incorporation that appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of its stock as a result of an amendment to its certificate of incorporation, any merger or consolidation in which the corporation is a constituent corporation or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the corporation. If the certificate of incorporation contains such a provision, the procedures of this section, including those set forth in subsections (d) and (e) of this section, shall apply as nearly as is practicable.

B-1

(d) Appraisal rights shall be perfected as follows:

(1) If a proposed merger or consolidation for which appraisal rights are provided under this section is to be submitted for approval at a meeting of stockholders, the corporation, not less than 20 days prior to the meeting, shall notify each of its stockholders who was such on the record date for such meeting with respect to shares for which appraisal rights are available pursuant to subsection (b) or (c) hereof that appraisal rights are available for any or all of the shares of the constituent corporations, and shall include in such notice a copy of this section. Each stockholder electing to demand the appraisal of such stockholder's shares shall deliver to the corporation, before the taking of the vote on the merger or consolidation, a written demand for appraisal of such stockholder's shares. Such demand will be sufficient if it reasonably informs the corporation of the identity of the stockholder and that the stockholder intends thereby to demand the appraisal of such stockholder's shares. A proxy or vote against the merger or consolidation shall not constitute such a demand. A stockholder electing to take such action must do so by a separate written demand as herein provided. Within 10 days after the effective date of such merger or consolidation, the surviving or resulting corporation shall notify each stockholder of each constituent corporation who has complied with this subsection and has not voted in favor of or consented to the merger or consolidation of the date that the merger or consolidation has become effective; or

(2) If the merger or consolidation was approved pursuant to § 228 or § 253 of this title, then either a constituent corporation before the effective date of the merger or consolidation or the surviving or resulting corporation within 10 days thereafter shall notify each of the holders of any class or series of stock of such constituent corporation who are entitled to appraisal rights of the approval of the merger or consolidation and that appraisal rights are available for any or all shares of such class or series of stock of such constituent corporation, and shall include in such notice a copy of this section. Such notice may, and, if given on or after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, shall, also notify such stockholders of the effective date of the merger or consolidation. Any stockholder entitled to appraisal rights may, within 20 days after the date of mailing of such notice, demand in writing from the surviving or resulting corporation the appraisal of such holder's shares. Such demand will be sufficient if it reasonably informs the corporation of the identity of the stockholder and that the stockholder intends thereby to demand the appraisal of such holder's shares. If such notice did not notify stockholders of the effective date of the merger or consolidation, either (i) each such constituent corporation shall send a second notice before the effective date of the merger or consolidation notifying each of the holders of any class or series of stock of such constituent corporation that are entitled to appraisal rights of the effective date of the merger or consolidation or (ii) the surviving or resulting corporation shall send such a second notice to all such holders on or within 10 days after such effective date; provided, however, that if such second notice is sent more than 20 days following the sending of the first notice, such second notice need only be sent to each stockholder who is entitled to appraisal rights and who has demanded appraisal of such holder's shares in accordance with this subsection. An affidavit of the secretary or assistant secretary or of the transfer agent of the corporation that is required to give either notice that such notice has been given shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein. For purposes of determining the stockholders entitled to receive either notice, each constituent corporation may fix, in advance, a record date that shall be not more than 10 days prior to the date the notice is given, provided, that if the notice is given on or after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, the record date shall be such effective date. If no record date is fixed and the notice is given prior to the effective date, the record date shall be the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the notice is given.

(e) Within 120 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, the surviving or resulting corporation or any stockholder who has complied with subsections (a) and (d) of this section hereof and who is otherwise entitled to appraisal rights, may commence an appraisal proceeding by filing a petition in the Court of Chancery demanding a determination of the value of the stock of all such stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time within 60 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, any stockholder who has not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined that proceeding as a named party shall have the right to withdraw such stockholder's demand for appraisal and to accept the terms offered upon the merger or consolidation. Within 120 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, any stockholder who has complied with the requirements of subsections (a) and (d) of this section hereof, upon written request, shall be entitled to receive from the corporation surviving the merger or resulting from the consolidation a statement setting forth the aggregate number of shares not voted in favor of the merger or consolidation and with respect to which demands for appraisal have been received and the aggregate number of holders of such shares. Such written statement shall be mailed to the stockholder within 10 days after such stockholder's written request for such a statement is received by the surviving or resulting corporation or within 10 days after expiration of the period for delivery of demands for appraisal under subsection (d) of this section hereof, whichever is later. Notwithstanding subsection (a) of this section, a person who is the beneficial owner of shares of such stock held either in a voting trust or by a nominee on behalf of such person may, in such person's own name, file a petition or request from the corporation the statement described in this subsection.

(f) Upon the filing of any such petition by a stockholder, service of a copy thereof shall be made upon the surviving or resulting corporation, which shall within 20 days after such service file in the office of the Register in Chancery in which the petition was filed a duly verified list containing the names and addresses of all stockholders who have demanded payment for

B-2

their shares and with whom agreements as to the value of their shares have not been reached by the surviving or resulting corporation. If the petition shall be filed by the surviving or resulting corporation, the petition shall be accompanied by such a duly verified list. The Register in Chancery, if so ordered by the Court, shall give notice of the time and place fixed for the hearing of such petition by registered or certified mail to the surviving or resulting corporation and to the stockholders shown on the list at the addresses therein stated. Such notice shall also be given by 1 or more publications at least 1 week before the day of the hearing, in a newspaper of general circulation published in the City of Wilmington, Delaware or such publication as the Court deems advisable. The forms of the notices by mail and by publication shall be approved by the Court, and the costs thereof shall be borne by the surviving or resulting corporation.

(g) At the hearing on such petition, the Court shall determine the stockholders who have complied with this section and who have become entitled to appraisal rights. The Court may require the stockholders who have demanded an appraisal for their shares and who hold stock represented by certificates to submit their certificates of stock to the Register in Chancery for notation thereon of the pendency of the appraisal proceedings; and if any stockholder fails to comply with such direction, the Court may dismiss the proceedings as to such stockholder.

(h) After the Court determines the stockholders entitled to an appraisal, the appraisal proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with the rules of the Court of Chancery, including any rules specifically governing appraisal proceedings. Through such proceeding the Court shall determine the fair value of the shares exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the merger or consolidation, together with interest, if any, to be paid upon the amount determined to be the fair value. In determining such fair value, the Court shall take into account all relevant factors. Unless the Court in its discretion determines otherwise for good cause shown, interest from the effective date of the merger through the date of payment of the judgment shall be compounded quarterly and shall accrue at 5% over the Federal Reserve discount rate (including any surcharge) as established from time to time during the period between the effective date of the merger and the date of payment of the judgment. Upon application by the surviving or resulting corporation or by any stockholder entitled to participate in the appraisal proceeding, the Court may, in its discretion, proceed to trial upon the appraisal prior to the final determination of the stockholders entitled to an appraisal. Any stockholder whose name appears on the list filed by the surviving or resulting corporation pursuant to subsection (f) of this section and who has submitted such stockholder's certificates of stock to the Register in Chancery, if such is required, may participate fully in all proceedings until it is finally determined that such stockholder is not entitled to appraisal rights under this section.

(i) The Court shall direct the payment of the fair value of the shares, together with interest, if any, by the surviving or resulting corporation to the stockholders entitled thereto. Payment shall be so made to each such stockholder, in the case of holders of uncertificated stock forthwith, and the case of holders of shares represented by certificates upon the surrender to the corporation of the certificates representing such stock. The Court's decree may be enforced as other decrees in the Court of Chancery may be enforced, whether such surviving or resulting corporation be a corporation of this State or of any state.

(j) The costs of the proceeding may be determined by the Court and taxed upon the parties as the Court deems equitable in the circumstances. Upon application of a stockholder, the Court may order all or a portion of the expenses incurred by any stockholder in connection with the appraisal proceeding, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees and the fees and expenses of experts, to be charged pro rata against the value of all the shares entitled to an appraisal.

(k) From and after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, no stockholder who has demanded appraisal rights as provided in subsection (d) of this section shall be entitled to vote such stock for any purpose or to receive payment of dividends or other distributions on the stock (except dividends or other distributions payable to stockholders of record at a date which is prior to the effective date of the merger or consolidation); provided, however, that if no petition for an appraisal shall be filed within the time provided in subsection (e) of this section, or if such stockholder shall deliver to the surviving or resulting corporation a written withdrawal of such stockholder's demand for an appraisal and an acceptance of the merger or consolidation, either within 60 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation as provided in subsection (e) of this section or thereafter with the written approval of the corporation, then the right of such stockholder to an appraisal shall cease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no appraisal proceeding in the Court of Chancery shall be dismissed as to any stockholder without the approval of the Court, and such approval may be conditioned upon such terms as the Court deems just; provided, however that this provision shall not affect the right of any stockholder who has not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined that proceeding as a named party to withdraw such stockholder's demand for appraisal and to accept the terms offered upon the merger or consolidation within 60 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, as set forth in subsection (e) of this section.

(l) The shares of the surviving or resulting corporation to which the shares of such objecting stockholders would have been converted had they assented to the merger or consolidation shall have the status of authorized and unissued shares of the surviving or resulting corporation.

Board of Directors

Greater Atlantic Financial Corp.

10700 Parkridge Boulevard

Suite P50

Reston, Virginia 20191

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Greater Atlantic Financial Corp. (“Greater Atlantic”) and Summit Financial Group, Inc. (“Summit”) have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of April 12, 2007, as amended on December 6, 2007 (the “Agreement”), pursuant to which Greater Atlantic will merge with and into a to-be-formed subsidiary of Summit (the “Merger Sub”) with Merger Sub as the surviving entity (the “Merger”). Under the terms of the Agreement, Greater Atlantic sold a branch office located in Pasadena, MD to Bay-Vanguard Federal Savings Bank (the “Branch Sale” and together with the Merger, the “Transactions”). Pursuant to the Agreement, each share of Greater Atlantic common stock, par value $0.01 per share, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger (the “GAFC Common Stock”), other than certain shares specified in the Agreement, will be converted into the right to receive (a) cash in an amount equal to $1.80 per share (the “Cash Consideration”) and (b) that number of shares of Summit common stock, $2.50 par value per share, (the “Summit Common Stock”) equal to $4.20 (the “Stock Consideration” and together with the Cash Consideration, the “Merger Consideration”), divided by the average closing price (the “Average Closing Price”) of Summit Common Stock reported on the NASDAQ for the twenty (20) trading days prior to the closing of the Merger (the “Exchange Ratio”), provided, however, if the Average Closing Price is less than $17.82, the Exchange Ratio will be calculated by dividing $4.20 by $17.82. If the Average Closing Price is greater than $24.10 then the Exchange Ratio will be calculated by dividing $4.20 by $24.10. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings given to such term in the Agreement. You have requested our opinion as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the Merger Consideration to be received in the Merger to the holders of GAFC Common Stock.

Sandler O’Neill & Partners, L.P., as part of its investment banking business, is regularly engaged in the valuation of financial institutions and their securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions and other corporate transactions. In connection with this opinion, we have reviewed, among other things:

C-1

(i) the Agreement; (ii) certain publicly available financial statements and other historical financial information of Greater Atlantic that we deemed relevant; (iii) certain publicly available financial statements and other historical financial information of Summit Financial that we deemed relevant; (iv) internal financial projections for Greater Atlantic for the years ending December 31, 2007 and 2008 prepared by and reviewed with management of Greater Atlantic and growth and performance projections for Greater Atlantic for the years ending December 31, 2009 and 2010 as provided by and reviewed with management of Greater Atlantic; (v) internal financial projections for Summit for the years ending December 31, 2007 and 2008 prepared by and reviewed with management of Summit and growth and performance projections for Summit for the year ending December 31, 2009 and 2010 as provided by and reviewed with management of Summit; (vi) the pro forma financial impact of the Branch Sale on Greater Atlantic; (vii) the pro forma financial impact of the Merger on Summit, based on assumptions relating to transaction expenses, purchase accounting adjustments and cost savings determined by the senior managements of Greater Atlantic and Summit; (viii) the publicly reported historical price and trading activity for Greater Atlantic’s and Summit’s common stock, including a comparison of certain financial and stock market information for Greater Atlantic and Summit with similar publicly available information for certain other companies the securities of which are publicly traded; (ix) the financial terms of certain recent business combinations in the commercial banking industry, to the extent publicly available; (x) the current market environment generally and the banking environment in particular; and (xi) such other information, financial studies, analyses and investigations and financial, economic and market criteria as we considered relevant. We also discussed with certain members of senior management of Greater Atlantic the business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects of Greater Atlantic and held similar discussions with certain members of senior management of Summit regarding the business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects of Summit.

In performing our review, we have relied upon the accuracy and completeness of all of the financial and other information that was available to us from public sources, that was provided to us by Greater Atlantic and Summit or their respective representatives or that was otherwise reviewed by us and have assumed such accuracy and completeness for purposes of rendering this opinion. We have further relied on the assurances of the respective managements of Greater Atlantic and Summit that they are not aware of any facts or circumstances that would make any of such information inaccurate or misleading. We have not been asked to and have not undertaken an independent verification of any of such information and we do not assume any responsibility or liability for the accuracy or completeness thereof. We did not make an independent evaluation or appraisal of the specific assets, the collateral securing assets or the liabilities (contingent or otherwise) of Greater Atlantic, Summit or any of their respective subsidiaries, or the collectibility of any such assets, nor have we been furnished with any such evaluations or appraisals. We did not make an independent evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses of Greater Atlantic and Summit nor have we reviewed any individual credit files relating to Greater Atlantic and Summit. We have assumed, with your consent, that the respective allowances for loan losses for both Greater Atlantic and Summit are adequate to cover such losses and will be adequate on a pro forma basis for the combined entity.

With respect to the internal projections for Greater Atlantic and Summit and the projections of transaction costs, purchase accounting adjustments and expected cost savings prepared by and/or reviewed with the managements of Greater Atlantic and Summit and used by Sandler O’Neill in its analyses, Greater Atlantic’s and Summit’s management confirmed to us that they reflected the best currently available estimates and judgments of management of the future financial performance of Greater Atlantic

C-2

and Summit and we assumed that such performance would be achieved. We express no opinion as to such financial projections and estimates or the assumptions on which they are based. We have also assumed that there has been no material change in Greater Atlantic’s and Summit’s assets, financial condition, results of operations, business or prospects since the date of the most recent financial statements made available to us. We have assumed in all respects material to our analysis that Greater Atlantic and Summit will remain as going concerns for all periods relevant to our analyses, that all of the representations and warranties contained in the Agreement are true and correct, that each party to the Agreement will perform all of the covenants required to be performed by such party under the Agreement, that the conditions precedent in the Agreement are not waived. Finally, with your consent, we have relied upon the advice Greater Atlantic has received from its legal, accounting and tax advisors as to all legal, accounting and tax matters relating to the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Agreement.

Our opinion is necessarily based on financial, economic, market and other conditions as in effect on, and the information made available to us as of, the date hereof. Events occurring after the date hereof could materially affect this opinion. We have not undertaken to update, revise, reaffirm or withdraw this opinion or otherwise comment upon events occurring after the date hereof. We are expressing no opinion herein as to what the value of Greater Atlantic’s and Summit’s common stock will be when shares of Summit’s common stock will be issued to Greater Atlantic’s shareholders pursuant to the Agreement or the prices at which Greater Atlantic’s and Summit’s common stock may trade at any time.

We have acted as Greater Atlantic’s financial advisor in connection with the Transactions and will receive a fee for our services, a substantial portion of which is contingent upon consummation of the Merger. We will also receive a fee for rendering this opinion. Greater Atlantic has also agreed to indemnify us against certain liabilities arising out of our engagement.

In the ordinary course of our business as a broker-dealer, we may purchase securities from and sell securities to Greater Atlantic and Summit and their respective affiliates. We may also actively trade the equity or debt securities of Greater Atlantic and Summit or their respective affiliates for our own account and for the accounts of our customers and, accordingly, may at any time hold a long or short position in such securities.

Our opinion is directed to the Board of Directors of Greater Atlantic in connection with its consideration of the Merger and does not constitute a recommendation to any shareholder of Greater Atlantic as to how such shareholder should vote at any meeting of shareholders called to consider and vote upon the Merger. Our opinion is directed only to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the Merger Consideration to be received in the Merger to holders of GAFC Common Stock and does not address the underlying business decision of Greater Atlantic to engage in the Merger, the relative merits of the Merger as compared to any other alternative business strategies that might exist for Greater Atlantic or

C-3

the effect of any other transaction in which Greater Atlantic might engage. Our opinion is not to be quoted or referred to, in whole or in part, in a registration statement, prospectus, proxy statement or in any other document, nor shall this opinion be used for any other purposes, without Sandler O'Neill’s prior written consent. We do not express any opinion as to the fairness of the amount or nature of the compensation to be received in the Merger by the company’s officers, directors, or employees, or class of such persons, relative to the compensation to be received in the Merger by any other shareholders of the company. This opinion was approved by Sandler O’Neill’s fairness opinion committee.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion that, as of the date hereof, the Merger Consideration to be received in the Merger is fair to the holders of GAFC’s Common Stock from a financial point of view.

Very truly yours,

/s/ Sandler O’Neill + Partners, L.P.

PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Description of Business

We are a savings and loan holding company which was organized in June 1997. We conduct substantially all of our business through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Greater Atlantic Bank, a federally-chartered savings bank. We offer traditional banking services to customers through our bank branches located throughout the greater Washington, DC metropolitan area. We established the Greater Atlantic Capital Trust I (“Trust”) in January 2002 to issue certain convertible preferred securities which we completed in March 2002.

Proposed Acquisition

As previously reported in a Form 8-K filed on April 16, 2007, we announced that the company and Summit Financial Group, Inc., entered into a definitive agreement for the company to merge with and into Summit. We also announced that the bank and Bay-Vanguard Federal Savings Bank entered into a definitive agreement for Bay-Vanguard to purchase the bank’s branch office in Pasadena, Maryland. The sale of the Pasadena branch office was established as a condition to the completion of the pending merger of the company with and into Summit Financial Group, Inc.

Originally the merger was expected to be completed in the fourth calendar quarter of 2007; however, as reported in a Form 8-K filed on December 10, 2007, effective December 6, 2007, the company and Summit amended their agreement to implement the parties' agreement to extend to March 31, 2008, the date on which the agreement may be terminated if the merger is not consummated by that date, subject to regulatory and shareholder approvals. Immediately following the merger, the bank intends to merge with and into Summit Community Bank.

Under the agreement to sell its leased branch office located at 8070 Ritchie Highway, Pasadena, Maryland, to Bay-Vanguard, Bay-Vanguard paid the bank an 8.5% premium on the balance of deposits assumed at closing. At August 24, 2007, the closing date of that transaction, the deposits at our Pasadena branch office on which the deposit premium would apply totaled approximately $51.5 million with the bank recognizing a gain of $4.3 million. Bay-Vanguard also purchased the branch office’s fixed assets, but did not acquire any loans as part of the transaction.

Market Area and Competition

We operate in a competitive environment, competing for deposits and loans with other thrifts, commercial banks and other financial entities. Numerous mergers and consolidations involving banks in the market in which we operate have occurred resulting in an intensification of competition in the banking industry in our geographic market. Many of the financial intermediaries operating in our market area offer certain services, such as trust, investment and international banking services, which we do not offer. In addition, banks with a larger capitalization than ours, and financial intermediaries not subject to bank regulatory restrictions, have larger lending limits and are thereby able to serve the needs of larger customers.

Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and rates. Our market risk arises primarily from interest-rate risk inherent in our lending and deposit taking activities. To that end, management actively monitors and manages interest-rate risk exposure. The measurement of market risk associated with financial instruments is meaningful only when all related and offsetting on- and off-balance-sheet transactions are aggregated, and the resulting net positions are identified. Disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments, which reflect changes in market prices and rates, can be found in Note 16 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Our primary objective in managing interest-rate risk is to minimize the adverse impact of changes in interest rates on our net interest income and capital, while adjusting our asset-liability structure to obtain the maximum yield-cost spread on that structure. We rely primarily on our asset-liability structure to control interest-rate risk. However, a sudden and substantial increase in interest rates may adversely impact our earnings, to the extent that the interest rates borne by assets and liabilities do not change at the same speed, to the same extent, or on the same basis.

D-3

Lending Activities

General. Net loans receivable at September 30, 2007 were $176.1 million, a decrease of $17.2 million or 8.90% from the $193.3 million held at September 30, 2006. The decrease in loans consisted of real estate loans secured by consumer loans, construction and land loans, first mortgages on residential properties and commercial business loans, offset in part by an increase in commercial real estate loans and multi-family loans. Because the bank’s single family and consumer loan portfolios consist primarily of adjustable-rate loans, and with the current yield curve, where short-term rates are only slightly lower than rates for longer terms, customers are able to refinance and extend the terms of their mortgages. Customers are also refinancing away from adjustable-rate loans and into longer term, fixed-rate loans or curtailing outstanding balances. The decrease in construction and land loans was primarily in the single-family residential sector of the market. The company anticipates that lending in that area will continue to decline as a result of the current slow sales pace occurring in the single-family market.

The following table shows the bank's loan originations, purchases, sales and principal repayments during the periods indicated:

The following table sets forth, at September 30, 2007, the dollar amount of loans contractually due after September 30, 2008, identifying whether such loans have fixed interest rates or adjustable interest rates. The risk of default on ARMs the industry is experiencing should not affect our portfolio because it is a seasoned portfolio. At September 30, 2007, the bank had $13.7 million of construction, acquisition and development, land and commercial business loans that were contractually due after September 30, 2008.

One- to Four-Family Mortgage Lending. The bank currently offers both fixed-rate and adjustable-rate mortgage ("ARM") loans with maturities of up to 30 years secured by single-family residences, which term includes real property containing from one to four residences. At September 30, 2007, the bank's one- to four-family mortgage loans totaled $38.0 million, or 20.81% of total loans. Of the one- to four-family mortgage loans outstanding at that date, 47.96% were fixed-rate loans and 52.04% were ARM loans.

Construction and Development Lending. The bank originates construction and development loans primarily to finance the construction of one- to four-family, owner-occupied residential real estate properties located in the bank’s primary market area. The bank also originates land loans to local contractors and developers for the purpose of making improvements thereon, including small residential subdivisions in the bank’s primary market area or for the purpose of holding or developing land for sale. At September 30, 2007, construction and development loans (including land loans) totaled $18.0 million, or 9.89%, of the bank’s total loans, of which, land loans totaled $8.1 million or 4.44% of total loans. Such loans are secured by a lien on the property, are limited to 75% of the lower of the acquisition price or the appraised value of the land and have a term of up to three years with a floating interest rate generally based on the prime rate as reported in The Wall Street Journal. All the bank's land loans are secured by property in its primary market area.

Multi-family and Commercial Real Estate Lending. The bank originates multi-family and commercial real estate loans that are generally secured by five or more unit apartment buildings and properties used for business purposes such as small office buildings or retail facilities located primarily in the bank’s market area. The bank’s multi-family and commercial real estate underwriting policies provide that such real estate loans may be made in amounts of up to 75-80% of the appraised value of the property. The bank’s multi-family and commercial real estate loan portfolio at September 30, 2007 was $39.0 million, or 21.35% of total loans. The largest multi-family or commercial real estate loan in the bank’s portfolio at September 30, 2007, consisted of a $3.9 million commercial real estate loan secured by real property in Alabama. The property is a skilled nursing facility on which the bank has participated $2.1 million of the $6.0 million note to another bank.

Commercial Business Lending. At September 30, 2007, the bank had $34.8 million in commercial business loans which amounted to 19.09% of total loans. The bank makes commercial business loans primarily in its market area to a variety of professionals, sole proprietorships and small businesses. The bank offers a variety of commercial lending products, including term loans for fixed assets and working capital, revolving lines of credit and letters of credit. Term loans are generally offered with initial fixed rates of interest for the first five years and with terms of up to 7 years. Business lines of credit have adjustable rates of interest with some being payable on demand, and all subject to annual review and renewal. Business loans with variable rates of interest adjust on a monthly basis and are generally indexed to the prime rate as published in The Wall Street Journal.

D-6

Consumer Lending. Consumer loans at September 30, 2007 amounted to $52.7 million or 28.86% of the bank's total loans, and consisted primarily of home equity loans, home equity lines of credit, and, to a significantly lesser extent, secured and unsecured personal loans and loans on new and used automobiles. These loans are generally made to residents of the bank's primary market area and generally are secured by real estate, deposit accounts and automobiles. These loans are typically shorter term and generally have higher interest rates than one- to four-family mortgage loans.

The bank offers home equity loans and home equity lines of credit (collectively, "home equity loans"). Most of the bank's home equity loans are secured by second mortgages on one- to four-family residences located in the bank's primary market area. At September 30, 2007, those loans totaled $52.3 million or 28.64% of the bank's total loans. Other types of consumer loans consisted primarily of secured and unsecured personal loans and loans on new and used automobiles, totaling $394,000, or 0.22% of the bank's total loans and 0.45% of commercial business and consumer loans at September 30, 2007.

Mortgage Banking Activities

The bank’s mortgage banking activities primarily consisted of originating mortgage loans secured by single-family properties and were conducted in Greater Atlantic Mortgage Corporation, a subsidiary of the bank. That activity was discontinued effective March 29, 2006, because it was unprofitable, and no longer fit our strategy. Mortgage banking involves the origination and sale of mortgage loans for the purpose of generating gains on sale of loans and fee income on the origination of loans, in addition to loan interest income. In recent years, the volume of the mortgage banking subsidiary’s originations had been declining, resulting in losses from mortgage banking operations.

Asset Quality

Delinquent Loans and Classified Assets. Reports listing all delinquent accounts are generated and reviewed monthly by management and the board of directors and all loans or lending relationships delinquent 30 days or more and all real estate owned are reviewed monthly by the board of directors. The procedures taken by the bank with respect to delinquencies vary depending on the nature of the loan, the length and cause of delinquency and whether the borrower has previously been delinquent.

Federal regulations and the bank's asset classification policy require that the bank utilize an internal asset classification system as a means of reporting problem and potential problem assets. The bank has incorporated the internal asset classifications of the Office of Thrift Supervision as a part of its credit monitoring system. The bank currently classifies problem and potential problem assets as "Substandard," "Doubtful" or "Loss" assets. An asset is considered "Substandard" if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. "Substandard" assets include those characterized by the "distinct possibility" that the insured institution will sustain "some loss" if the deficiencies are not corrected. Assets classified as "Doubtful" have all of the weaknesses inherent in those classified "Substandard" with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make "collection or liquidation in full," on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, "highly questionable and improbable." Assets classified as "Loss" are those considered "uncollectible" and of such little value that their continuance as assets without the establishment of a specific loss reserve is not warranted. Assets which do not currently expose the insured institution to sufficient risk to warrant classification in one of the aforementioned categories but possess weaknesses are required to be designated "Special Mention."

The bank’s management reviews and classifies the bank's assets on a regular basis and the board of directors reviews management’s reports on a monthly basis. The bank classifies assets in accordance with the management guidelines described above. At September 30, 2007, the bank had $4.7 million of loans designated as Substandard which consisted of one residential loan, three commercial business loans, two construction development and one land loan. At that same date, the bank had $675,000 of assets classified as Doubtful, consisting of one commercial business loan and one construction development loan. At September 30, 2007, the bank had no loans classified as Loss and one $887,000 construction loan classified as Special Mention.

Non-Performing Assets and Impaired Loans. The following table sets forth information regarding non-accrual loans and real estate owned. The bank’s policy is to cease accruing interest on mortgage loans 90 days or more past due, to cease accruing interest on consumer loans 60 days or more past due (unless the loan principal and interest are determined by management to be fully secured and in the process of collection), and to charge off any accrued and unpaid interest.

D-8

During the year ended September 30, 2007, the amount of additional interest income that would have been recognized on non-accrual loans if such loans had continued to perform in accordance with their contractual terms was $110,000.

The company considers a loan to be impaired if it is probable that the company will be unable to collect all amounts due (both principal and interest) according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. When a loan is deemed impaired, the company computes the present value of the loan's future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate. As an alternative, creditors may account for impaired loans at the fair value of the collateral or at the observable market price of the loan if one exists. If the present value is less than the carrying value of the loan, a valuation allowance is recorded. For collateral dependent loans, the company uses the fair value of the collateral, less estimated costs to sell on a discounted basis, to measure impairment.

Our total recorded investment in impaired collateral dependent loans at September 30, 2007 was $2.5 million and the related allowance associated with impaired loans was $627,000. There were no impaired loans in the comparable period one year ago. At September 30, 2007, all impaired loans had a related allowance.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses based on management's evaluation of the risks inherent in its loan portfolio and the general economy. The allowance for loan losses is maintained at an amount management considers adequate to cover estimated losses in loans receivable which are deemed probable and estimable based on information currently known to management. The allowance is based upon a number of factors, including current economic conditions, actual loss experience and industry trends. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the bank's allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require the bank to make additional provisions for estimated loan losses based upon their judgment about information available to them at the time of their examination. There can be no assurance that the bank will not sustain credit losses in future periods, which could be substantial in relation to the size of the allowance. As of September 30, 2007, the bank's allowance for loan losses amounted to $2.3 million or 1.26% of total loans. The allowance for loan losses to total non-performing loans at September 30, 2007 was 170.87%; as a percentage of total loans, the allowance was increased 60 basis points when compared to September 30, 2006. A $685,000 provision for loan losses was recorded during the year ended September 30, 2007, compared to a provision of $126,000 during the year ended September 30, 2006. The $559,000 increase in the provision for loan losses from the year ago period resulted from the increase in non-performing assets, an increase in the outstanding balance of the bank’s commercial real estate loans and an increase of $3.9 million in loans classified as substandard each of which requires an additional allocation of the bank’s overall provision. Those were coupled with an increase of $356,000 in loans classified as doubtful. That increase in provision for those loans was offset with an overall decline in the size of the bank’s loan portfolio. On an annual basis, or more often if deemed necessary, the bank had contracted with an independent outside third party to have its loan portfolio reviewed. The focus of their review is to identify the extent of potential and actual risk in the bank’s commercial loan portfolio, in addition to evaluating the underwriting and processing practices. Observations made regarding the bank’s portfolio risk are based upon review evaluations, portfolio profiles and discussion with the operational staff, including the line lenders and senior management. However, because we entered into a definitive agreement for the company to merge with Summit, and based on the due diligence performed by Summit, it was deemed unnecessary to enter into such a contract for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007.

Investment Activities

The investment policy of the bank, as approved by the board of directors, requires management to maintain adequate liquidity and generate a favorable return on investments to complement the bank's lending activities without incurring undue interest rate and credit risk. The bank primarily utilizes investments in securities for liquidity management, as a source of income and as a method of deploying excess funds not utilized for investment in loans. The bank does not hold any securities bought and held principally for sale in the near term, which would be, classified as held for trading.

At September 30, 2007, the bank had invested $16.5 million in mortgage-backed securities, or 6.71% of total assets, of which $16.3 million were classified as available-for-sale and $207,000 were classified as held-to-maturity. This portfolio is seasoned with no purchases during fiscal year 2007. Investments in mortgage-backed securities involve a risk that actual prepayments will be greater than estimated prepayments over the life of the security, which may require adjustments to the amortization of any premium or accretion of any discount relating to such instruments thereby changing the net yield on such securities. There is also reinvestment risk associated with the cash flows from such securities or in the event such securities are redeemed by the issuer. In addition, the market value of such securities may be adversely affected by changes in interest rates.

Sources of Funds

General. Deposits, loan repayments and prepayments, cash flows generated from operations, Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances and reverse repurchase agreements are the primary sources of the bank's funds for use in lending, investing and for other general purposes.

Deposits. Deposits are attracted from within the bank’s market area by offering a broad selection of deposit instruments, including checking, savings, money market and time deposits. Deposit account terms vary, differentiated by the minimum balance required, the time periods that the funds must remain on deposit and the interest rate, among other factors. In determining the terms of its deposit accounts, the bank considers current interest rates, profitability to the bank, interest rate risk characteristics, competition and its customer preferences and concerns. The bank may pay above-market interest rates to attract or retain deposits when less expensive sources of funds are not available. The bank reviews its deposit composition and pricing weekly.

At September 30, 2007, $107.7 million, or 85.70% of the bank's certificate of deposit accounts were to mature within one year.

The following table sets forth the distribution and the rates paid on each category of the bank’s deposits.

REGULATION AND SUPERVISION

General

As a savings and loan holding company, the company is required by federal law to report to, and otherwise comply with the rules and regulations of, the Office of Thrift Supervision. The bank, an insured federal savings association, is subject to extensive regulation, examination and supervision by the Office of Thrift Supervision, as its primary federal regulator, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, as the deposit insurer. The bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank System and, with respect to deposit insurance, of the Savings Association Insurance Fund managed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The bank must file reports with the Office of Thrift Supervision and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation concerning its activities and financial condition in addition to obtaining regulatory approvals prior to entering into certain transactions such as mergers with, or acquisitions of, other savings institutions. The Office of Thrift Supervision and/or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation conduct periodic examinations to test the bank's safety and soundness and compliance with various regulatory requirements. This regulation and supervision establishes a comprehensive framework of activities in which an institution can engage and is intended primarily for the protection of the insurance fund and depositors. The regulatory structure also gives the regulatory authorities extensive discretion in connection with their supervisory and enforcement activities and examination policies, including policies with respect to the classification of assets and the establishment of adequate loan loss reserves for regulatory purposes. Any change in such regulatory requirements and policies, whether by the Office of Thrift Supervision, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or Congress, could have a material adverse impact on the company, the bank and their operations. Certain regulatory requirements applicable to the bank and to the company are referred to below or elsewhere herein. The description of statutory provisions and regulations applicable to savings institutions and their holding companies set forth below, and elsewhere in this document does not purport to be a complete description of such statutes and regulations and their effects on the Bank and the company and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual laws and regulations.

Holding Company Regulation

The company is a nondiversified unitary savings and loan holding company within the meaning of federal law. Under prior law, a unitary savings and loan holding company, such as the company, was not generally restricted as to the types of business activities in which it may engage, provided that the bank continued to be a qualified thrift lender. See "Federal Savings Institution Regulation - QTL Test." The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 provides that no company may acquire control of a savings institution after May 4, 1999 unless it engages only in the financial activities permitted for financial holding companies under the law or for multiple savings and loan holding companies as described below. Further, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act specifies that existing savings and loan holding companies may only engage in such activities. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, however, grandfathered the unrestricted authority for activities with respect to unitary savings and loan holding companies existing prior to May 4, 1999, so long as the holding company’s savings institution subsidiary continues to comply with the QTL Test. The company does not qualify for the grandfathering. Upon any non-supervisory acquisition by the company of another savings institution or savings bank that meets the qualified thrift lender test and is deemed to be a savings institution by the Office of Thrift Supervision, the company would become a multiple savings and loan holding company (if the acquired institution is held as a separate subsidiary) and would generally be limited to activities permissible for bank holding companies under Section 4(c)(8) of the Bank Holding Company Act, subject to the prior approval of the Office of Thrift Supervision, and certain activities authorized by Office of Thrift Supervision regulation. However, the OTS has issued an interpretation concluding that multiple savings and loan holding companies may also engage in activities permitted for financial holding companies.

A savings and loan holding company is prohibited from, directly or indirectly, acquiring more than 5% of the voting stock of another savings institution or savings and loan holding company, without prior written approval of the Office of Thrift Supervision and from acquiring or retaining control of a depository institution that is not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. In evaluating applications by holding companies to acquire savings institutions, the Office of Thrift Supervision considers factors such as the financial and managerial resources and future prospects of the company and institution involved, the effect of the acquisition on the risk to the deposit insurance funds, the convenience and needs of the community and competitive effects.

The Office of Thrift Supervision may not approve any acquisition that would result in a multiple savings and loan holding company controlling savings institutions in more than one state, subject to two exceptions: (i) the approval of interstate supervisory acquisitions by savings and loan holding companies and (ii) the acquisition of a savings institution in another state if the laws of the state of the target savings institution specifically permit such acquisitions. The states vary in the extent to which they permit interstate savings and loan holding company acquisitions.

Although savings and loan holding companies are not currently subject to specific regulatory capital requirements or specific restrictions on the payment of dividends or other capital distributions, federal regulations do prescribe such restrictions on subsidiary savings associations. The bank must notify the Office of Thrift Supervision (30) days before declaring any dividend to the company and comply with the additional restrictions described below. In addition, the financial impact of a holding company on its subsidiary institution is a matter that is evaluated by the Office of Thrift Supervision and the agency has authority to order cessation of activities or divestiture of subsidiaries deemed to pose a threat to the safety and soundness of the institution.

Acquisition of the Company. On October 4, 2007, Summit filed an application with the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond to acquire the company and thereby, indirectly, to acquire the bank pursuant to Section 4 of the Bank Holding Company Act and Federal Reserve Regulation Y. The Reserve Bank referred the application to the Board because action under delegated authority was not appropriate. Accordingly, the application is being processed by the Division of Banking Supervision and Regulation of the Board of Governors in Washington, D.C. Summit was notified that, based on the staff’s review of the record, additional information was being requested. Subsequently, in order to respond to the request from the Board of Governors and comply with internal application processing guidelines, Summit requested that processing of the application be suspended until such time as the staff of the Board of Governors and Summit consent to the continuation of processing.

Federal Savings Institution Regulation

Business Activities. The activities of federal savings banks are governed by federal law and regulations. These laws and regulations delineate the nature and extent of the business activities in which federal savings banks may engage. In particular, certain lending authority for federal savings banks, e.g., commercial, non-residential real property loans and consumer loans, is limited to a specified percentage of the institution’s capital or assets.

Capital Requirements. The Office of Thrift Supervision capital regulations require savings associations to meet three minimum capital standards: a 1.5% tangible capital to total assets ratio, a 4% tier 1 capital to total assets leverage ratio (3% for institutions receiving the highest rating on the CAMELS examination rating system) and an 8% risk-based capital ratio. In addition, the prompt corrective action standards discussed below also establish, in effect, a minimum 2% tangible capital standard, a 4% leverage ratio (3% for institutions receiving the highest rating on the CAMELS system) and, together with the risk-based capital standard itself, a 4% Tier 1 risk-based capital standard. The Office of Thrift Supervision regulations also require that, in meeting the tangible, leverage and risk-based capital standards, institutions must generally deduct investments in and loans to subsidiaries engaged in activities as principal that are not permissible for a national bank.

The risk-based capital standard for savings associations requires the maintenance of Tier 1 (core) capital and total capital (which is defined as core capital and supplementary capital less certain specified deductions from total capital such as reciprocal holdings of depository institution capital, instruments and equity investments) to risk-weighted assets of at least 4% and 8%, respectively. In determining the amount of risk-weighted assets, all assets, including certain off-balance sheet activities, recourse obligations, residual interests and direct credit substitutes, are multiplied by a risk-weight factor of 0% to 100%, assigned by the Office of Thrift Supervision capital regulation based on the risks believed inherent in the type of asset. Core (Tier 1) capital is generally defined as common stockholders' equity (including retained earnings), certain noncumulative perpetual preferred stock and related surplus, and minority interests in equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries less intangibles other than certain mortgage servicing rights and credit card relationships. The components of supplementary capital (Tier 2) currently include cumulative preferred stock, long-term perpetual preferred stock, mandatory convertible debt securities, subordinated debt and intermediate preferred stock, the allowance for loan and lease losses limited to a maximum of 1.25% of risk-weighted assets, and up to 45% of unrealized gains on available-for-sale equity securities with readily determinable fair market values. Overall, the amount of supplementary capital included as part of total capital cannot exceed 100% of core capital.

D-18

The Office of Thrift Supervision also has authority to establish individual minimum capital requirements in appropriate cases upon a determination that an institution’s capital level is or may become inadequate in light of the particular circumstances. At September 30, 2007, the bank met each of its capital requirements.

The following table presents the bank's capital position at September 30, 2007.

			Excess (Deficiency) Amount	Capital
	Actual Capital	Required Capital	Excess (Deficiency) Amount	Actual Percent	Required Percent
(Dollars in Thousands)
Tangible	$18,830	$ 3,684	$15,146	7.67%	1.50%
Core (Leverage)	18,830	9,825	9,005	7.67	4.00
Risk-based	20,874	13,630	7,244	12.25	8.00

Prompt Corrective Regulatory Action. The Office of Thrift Supervision is required to take certain supervisory actions against undercapitalized institutions, the severity of which depends upon the institution's degree of undercapitalization. Generally, a savings institution that has a ratio of total capital to risk weighted assets of less than 8%, a ratio of Tier 1 (core) capital to risk-weighted assets of less than 4% or a ratio of core capital to total assets of less than 4% (3% or less for associations with the highest examination rating) is considered to be "undercapitalized." A association that has a total risk-based capital ratio less than 6%, a Tier 1 capital ratio of less than 3% or a leverage ratio that is less than 3% is considered to be "significantly undercapitalized" and a savings institution that has a tangible capital to assets ratio equal to or less than 2% is deemed to be "critically undercapitalized." Subject to a narrow exception, the Office of Thrift Supervision is required to appoint a receiver or conservator within specified time frames for an institution that is "critically undercapitalized." The regulation also provides that a capital restoration plan must be filed with the Office of Thrift Supervision within 45 days of the date a savings association is deemed to have received notice that it is "undercapitalized," "significantly undercapitalized" or "critically undercapitalized." Compliance with the plan must be guaranteed by any parent holding company in the amount of up to the lesser of 5% of the savings association’s total assets when it was deemed to be undercapitalized or the amount necessary to achieve compliance with applicable capital requirements. In addition, numerous mandatory supervisory actions become immediately applicable to an undercapitalized institution, including, but not limited to, increased monitoring by regulators and restrictions on growth, capital distributions and expansion. The Office of Thrift Supervision could also take any one of a number of discretionary supervisory actions, including the issuance of a capital directive and the replacement of senior executive officers and directors. Significantly and critically undercapitalized institutions are subject to additional mandatory and discretionary measures.

Insurance of Deposit Accounts. The bank’s deposits are insured up to applicable limits by the Deposit Insurance Fund of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Deposit Insurance Fund is the successor to the Bank Insurance Fund and the Savings Association Insurance Fund, which were merged in 2006. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation amended its risk-based assessment system for 2007 to implement authority granted by the Federal Deposit Insurance Reform Act of 2005 (“Reform Act”). Under the revised system, insured institutions are assigned to one of four risk categories based on supervisory evaluations, regulatory capital levels and certain other factors. An institution’s assessment rate depends upon the category to which it is assigned. Risk category I, which contains the least risky depository institutions, is expected to include more than 90% of all institutions. Unlike the other categories, Risk Category I contains further risk differentiation based on the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s analysis of financial ratios, examination component ratings and other information. Assessment rates are determined by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and currently range from five to seven basis points for the healthiest institutions (Risk Category I) to 43 basis points of assessable deposits for the riskiest (Risk Category IV). The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation may adjust rates uniformly from one quarter to the next, except that no single adjustment can exceed three basis points. No institution may pay a dividend if in default of its FDIC assessment.

The Reform Act also provided for a one-time credit for eligible institutions based on their assessment base as of December 31, 1996. Subject to certain limitations, credits could be used beginning in 2007 to offset assessments until exhausted. The bank’s one-time credit approximated $65,529. The Reform Act also provided for the possibility that the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation may pay dividends to insured institutions once the Deposit Insurance fund reserve ratio equals or exceeds 1.35% of estimated insured deposits.

D-19

In addition to the assessment for deposit insurance, institutions are required to make payments on bonds issued in the late 1980s by the Financing Corporation to recapitalize a predecessor deposit insurance fund. That payment is established quarterly and during fiscal 2007, Financing Corporation payments for savings associations approximated 1.18 basis points of assessable deposits.

The Reform Act provided the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation with authority to adjust the Deposit Insurance Fund ratio to insured deposits within a range of 1.15% and 1.50%, in contrast to the prior statutorily fixed ratio of 1.25%. The ratio, which is viewed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation as the level that the fund should achieve, has been established by the agency at 1.25% for 2008, which was unchanged from 2007.

The bank's total assessment paid for this period (including the FICO assessment) was $204,021. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation has authority to increase insurance assessments. A significant increase in insurance premiums would likely have an adverse effect on the operating expenses and results of operations of the bank. Management cannot predict what insurance assessment rates will be in the future.

Insurance of deposits may be terminated by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation upon a finding that the institution has engaged in unsafe or unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations or has violated any applicable law, regulation, rule, order or condition imposed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or the Office of Thrift Supervision. The management of the bank does not know of any practice, condition or violation that might lead to termination of deposit insurance.

Loans to One Borrower. Federal law provides that savings institutions are generally subject to the limits on loans to one borrower applicable to national banks. Generally, subject to certain exceptions, a savings association may not make a loan or extend credit to a single or related group of borrowers in excess of 15% of its unimpaired capital and surplus. An additional amount may be lent, equal to 10% of unimpaired capital and surplus, if secured by specified readily marketable collateral. At September 30, 2007,the bank’s limit on loans to one borrower was $3.2 million, and the bank’s largest aggregate outstanding loan to one borrower was $4.0 million. Part of that loan and any other loan in excess of the loans to one borrower limit will be sold in the form of a participation.

QTL Test. Federal law requires savings institutions to meet a qualified thrift lender test. Under the test, a savings association is required to either qualify as a “domestic building and loan association” under the Internal Revenue Code or maintain at least 65% of its “portfolio assets” (total assets less: (i) specified liquid assets up to 20% of total assets; (ii) intangibles, including goodwill; and (iii) the value of property used to conduct business) in certain “qualified thrift investments” (primarily residential mortgages and related investments, including certain mortgage-backed securities but also defined to include education, credit card and small business loans) in at least 9 months out of each 12 month period.

A savings institution that fails the qualified thrift lender test is subject to certain operating restrictions and may be required to convert to a bank charter. As of September 30, 2007, Greater Atlantic maintained 71% of its portfolio assets in qualified thrift investments and, therefore, met the qualified thrift lender test.

Limitation on Capital Distributions. Office of Thrift Supervision regulations impose limitations upon all capital distributions by a savings institution, including cash dividends, payments to repurchase its shares and payments to stockholders of another institution in a cash-out merger. An application to and the prior approval of the Office of Thrift Supervision is required prior to any capital distribution if the institution does not meet the criteria for “expedited treatment” of applications under Office of Thrift Supervision regulations (i.e., generally, examination and Community Reinvestment Act ratings in the two top categories), the total capital distributions for the calendar year exceed net income for that year plus the amount of retained net income for the preceding two years, the institution would be undercapitalized following the distribution or the distribution would otherwise be contrary to a statute, regulation or agreement with Office of Thrift Supervision. If an application is not required, the institution must still provide prior notice to Office of Thrift Supervision of the capital distribution if, like the bank, it is a subsidiary of a holding company. In the event the bank’s capital fell below its regulatory requirements or the Office of Thrift Supervision notified it that it was in need of increased supervision, Greater Atlantic’s ability to make capital distributions could be restricted. In addition, the Office of Thrift Supervision could prohibit a proposed capital distribution by any institution, which would otherwise be permitted by the regulation, if the Office of Thrift Supervision determines that such distribution would constitute an unsafe or unsound practice. On December 13, 2006, the bank was advised by the Office of Thrift Supervision that it would not approve the bank’s application to pay a cash dividend to the company, and the company exercised its right to defer the next scheduled quarterly distribution on the cumulative convertible trust preferred securities for an indefinite period (which can be no longer than 20 consecutive quarterly periods). The amount accrued at September 30, 2007, totaled $644,000.

D-20

Assessments. Savings associations are required to pay assessments to the Office of Thrift Supervision to fund the agency’s operations. The general assessments, paid on a semi-annual basis, are computed based upon the savings association’s total assets, including consolidated subsidiaries, its financial condition and complexity of its portfolio. The assessments paid by the bank for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007, totaled $139,095.

Transactions with Related Parties. The bank’s authority to engage in transactions with “affiliates” (e.g., any company that controls or is under common control with an institution, including the company) is limited by federal law. The aggregate amount of covered transactions with any individual affiliate is limited to 10% of the capital and surplus of the savings association. The aggregate amount of covered transactions with all affiliates is limited to 20% of the savings association’s capital and surplus. Certain transactions with affiliates are required to be secured by collateral in an amount and of a type specified in federal law. The purchase of low quality assets from affiliates is generally prohibited. The transactions with affiliates must be on terms and under circumstances, that are at least as favorable to the institution as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with non-affiliated companies. In addition, savings associations are prohibited from lending to any affiliate that is engaged in activities that are not permissible for bank holding companies and no savings association may purchase the securities of any affiliate other than a subsidiary.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 generally prohibits loans by the company to its executive officers and directors. However, that law contains a specific exception for loans by a depository institution to its executive officers and directors in compliance with federal banking laws. Under such laws, the bank's authority to extend credit to executive officers, directors and 10% shareholders ("insiders"), as well as entities such persons control, is limited. The law limits both the individual and aggregate amount of loans the bank may make to insiders based, in part, on the bank's capital position and requires certain board approval procedures to be followed. Such loans are required to be made on terms substantially the same as those offered to unaffiliated individuals and not involve more than the normal risk of repayment. There is an exception for loans made pursuant to a benefit or compensation program that is widely available to all employees of the institution and does not give preference to insiders over other employees. Loans to executive officers are subject to additional limitations based on the type of loan involved.

Enforcement. The Office of Thrift Supervision has primary enforcement responsibility over savings associations and has the authority to bring actions against the institution and all institution-affiliated parties, including stockholders, and any attorneys, appraisers and accountants who knowingly or recklessly participate in wrongful action likely to have an adverse effect on an insured institution. Formal enforcement action may range from the issuance of a capital directive or cease and desist order to removal of officers and/or directors to institution of receivership, conservatorship or termination of deposit insurance. Civil penalties cover a wide range of violations and can amount to $25,000 per day, or even $1.0 million per day in especially egregious cases. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation has the authority to recommend to the Director of the Office of Thrift Supervision that enforcement action be taken with respect to a particular savings institution. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation has authority to take such action under certain circumstances. Federal law also establishes criminal penalties for certain violations.

Standards for Safety and Soundness. The federal banking agencies have adopted Interagency Guidelines prescribing Standards for Safety and Soundness in various areas such as internal controls and information systems, internal audit, loan documentation and credit underwriting, interest rate exposure, asset growth and quality, earnings and compensation, fees and benefits.. The guidelines set forth the safety and soundness standards that the federal banking agencies use to identify and address problems at insured depository institutions before capital becomes impaired. If the Office of Thrift Supervision determines that a savings institution fails to meet any standard prescribed by the guidelines, the Office of Thrift Supervision may require the institution to submit an acceptable plan to achieve compliance with the standard.

Federal Home Loan Bank System

The bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank System, which consists of 12 regional Federal Home Loan Banks. The Federal Home Loan Bank provides a central credit facility primarily for member institutions. As a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank, the bank is required to acquire and hold shares of capital stock in that Federal Home Loan Bank in an amount at least equal to 1.0% of the aggregate principal amount of its unpaid residential mortgage loans and similar obligations at the beginning of each year, or 1/20 of its advances (borrowings) from the Federal Home Loan Bank, whichever is greater. The bank was in compliance with this requirement with an investment in Federal Home Loan Bank stock at September 30, 2007 of $1.7 million.

D-21

The Federal Home Loan Banks are required to provide funds used for the resolution of insolvent thrifts in the late 1980s and to contribute funds for affordable housing programs. Those requirements could reduce the amount of dividends that the Federal Home Loan Banks pay to their members and could also result in the Federal Home Loan Banks imposing a higher rate of interest on advances to their members. If dividends were reduced, or interest on future Federal Home Loan Bank advances increased, Greater Atlantic’s net interest income would likely also be reduced.

Federal Reserve System

The Federal Reserve Board regulations require savings institutions to maintain non-interest earning reserves against their transaction accounts (primarily NOW and regular checking accounts). The regulations generally provide that reserves be maintained against aggregate transaction accounts as follows: a 3% reserve ratio is assessed on net transaction accounts up to $43.9 million; for a 10% ratio is applied above $43.9 million. The first $9.3 million of otherwise reservable balances (subject to adjustments by the Federal Reserve Board) is exempted from the reserve requirements. The amounts are adjusted annually. The bank complies with the foregoing requirements.

Community Reinvestment Act

Under the Community Reinvestment Act, as implemented by Office of Thrift Supervision regulations, a savings association has a continuing and affirmative obligation consistent with its safe and sound operation to help meet the credit needs of its entire community, including low and moderate income neighborhoods. The Community Reinvestment Act does not establish specific lending requirements or programs for financial institutions nor does it limit an institution’s discretion to develop the types of products and services that it believes are best suited to its particular community, consistent with the Community Reinvestment Act. The Community Reinvestment Act requires the Office of Thrift Supervision, in connection with its examination of an institution, to assess the institution’s record of meeting the credit needs of its community and to take such record into account in its evaluation of applications by such institution. The Community Reinvestment Act requires public disclosure of an institution’s Community Reinvestment Act rating. Greater Atlantic’s latest Community Reinvestment Act rating, received from the Office of Thrift Supervision was “Satisfactory.”

D-22

FEDERAL AND STATE TAXATION

General. The company and the bank report their income on a fiscal year basis using the accrual method of accounting and are subject to federal income taxation in the same manner as other corporations with some exceptions. The following discussion of tax matters is intended only as a summary and does not purport to be a comprehensive description of the tax rules applicable to the bank or the company. The bank has not been audited by the IRS or the Virginia Department of Taxation ("DOT") in the past five years.

Distributions. To the extent that the bank makes "non-dividend distributions” to the company that are considered as made (i) from the reserve for losses on qualifying real property loans, to the extent the reserve for such losses exceeds the amount that would have been allowed under the experience method, or (ii) from the supplemental reserve for losses on loans ("Excess Distributions”), then an amount based on the amount distributed will be included in the bank's taxable income. Non-dividend distributions include distributions in excess of the bank's current and accumulated earnings and profits, distributions in redemption of stock and distributions in partial or complete liquidation. However, dividends paid out of the bank's current or accumulated earnings and profits, as calculated for federal income tax purposes, will not be considered to result in a distribution from the bank's bad debt reserve. Thus, any dividends to the company that would reduce amounts appropriated to the bank's bad debt reserve and deducted for federal income tax purposes would create a tax liability for the bank. The amount of additional taxable income created by an Excess Distribution is an amount that, when reduced by the tax attributable to the income, is equal to the amount of the distribution. Thus, if, after the Conversion, the bank makes a "non-dividend distribution,” then approximately one and one-half times the amount so used would be includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes, presumably taxed at a 34% corporate income tax rate (exclusive of state and local taxes). See "Regulation” and "Dividend Policy” for limits on the payment of dividends of the bank. The bank does not intend to pay dividends that would result in a recapture of any portion of its bad debt reserve.

Corporate Alternative Minimum Tax ("AMT”). The Code imposes a tax on alternative minimum taxable income (“AMTI”) at a rate of 20%. Only 90% of AMTI could be offset by net operating loss carryovers. AMTI is increased by an amount equal to 75% of the amount by which the bank's adjusted current earnings exceeds its AMTI (determined without regard to this preference and prior to reduction for net operating losses). Since the company and the bank have net operating losses for the 2007 fiscal year, except for the AMT, they have not recorded a provision for income taxes.

Dividends Received Deduction and Other Matters. The company may exclude from its income 100% of dividends received from the bank as a member of the same affiliated group of corporations. The corporate dividends received deduction is generally 70% in the case of dividends received from unaffiliated corporations with which the company and the bank will not file a consolidated tax return, except that if the company or the bank owns more than 20% of the stock of a corporation distributing a dividend then 80% of any dividends received may be deducted.

State and Local Taxation

Commonwealth of Virginia. The Commonwealth of Virginia imposes a tax at the rate of 6.0% on the "Virginia taxable income" of the company. Virginia taxable income is equal to federal taxable income with certain adjustments. Significant modifications include the subtraction from federal taxable income of interest or dividends on obligations or securities of the United States that are exempt from state income taxes.

Delaware Taxation. As a Delaware company not earning income in Delaware, the company is exempt from Delaware corporate income tax but is required to file an annual report with and pay an annual franchise tax to the State of Delaware. However, to the extent that the company conducts business outside of Delaware, the company may be considered doing business and subject to additional taxing jurisdictions outside of Delaware.

D-23

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Our increased emphasis on commercial and construction lending may expose us to increased lending risks.

At September 30, 2007, our loan portfolio consisted of $35.0 million, or 19.17% of commercial real estate loans, $18.0 million, or 9.89% of construction and land development loans and $34.8 million, or 19.10% of commercial business loans. These types of loans generally expose a lender to greater risk of non-payment and loss than one-to-four-family residential mortgage loans because repayment of the loans often depends on the successful operation of the property, the income stream of the borrowers and, for construction loans, the accuracy of the estimate of the property’s value at completion of construction and the estimated cost of construction. Such loans typically involve larger loan balances to single borrowers or groups of related borrowers compared to one- to four-family residential mortgage loans. Commercial business loans expose us to additional risks since they typically are made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to make repayments from the cash flow of the borrower’s business and are secured by non-real estate collateral that may depreciate over time. In addition, since such loans generally entail greater risk than one- to four-family residential mortgage loans, we may need to increase our allowance for loan losses in the future to account for the likely increase in probable incurred credit losses associated with the growth of such loans. Also, many of our commercial and construction borrowers have more than one loan outstanding with us. Consequently, an adverse development with respect to one loan or one credit relationship can expose us to a significantly greater risk of loss compared to an adverse development with respect to a one- to four-family residential mortgage loan.

Strong competition within our market area could hurt our ability to compete and could slow our growth.

We face intense competition both in making loans and attracting deposits. This competition has made it more difficult for us to make new loans and has occasionally forced us to offer higher deposit rates. Price competition for loans and deposits might result in us earning less on our loans and paying more on our deposits, which reduces net interest income. Some of the institutions with which we compete have substantially greater resources and lending limits than we have and may offer services that we do not provide. We expect competition to increase in the future as a result of legislative, regulatory and technological changes and the continuing trend of consolidation in the financial services industry. Our profitability depends upon our continued ability to compete successfully in our market area.

An increase in loan prepayments and on prepayment of loans underlying mortgage-backed securities and small business administration certificates may adversely affect our profitability.

Prepayment rates are affected by consumer behavior, conditions in the housing and financial markets, general economic conditions and the relative interest rates on fixed-rate and adjustable-rate mortgage loans. Although changes in prepayment rates are, therefore, difficult for us to predict, prepayment rates tend to increase when market interest rates decline relative to the rates on the prepaid instruments.

We recognize our deferred loan origination costs and premiums paid on originating these loans by adjusting our interest income over the contractual life of the individual loans. As prepayments occur, the rate at which net deferred loan origination costs and premiums are expensed accelerates. The effect of the acceleration of deferred costs and premium amortization may be mitigated by prepayment penalties paid by the borrower when the loan is paid in full within a certain period of time, which varies between loans. If prepayment occurs after the period of time when the loan is subject to a prepayment penalty, the effect of the acceleration of premium and deferred cost amortization is no longer mitigated.

We recognize premiums we pay on mortgage-backed securities and Small Business Administration Certificates as an adjustment to interest income over the life of the security based on the rate of repayment of the securities. Acceleration of prepayment on the loans underlying a mortgage-backed security or Small Business Administration Certificate shortens the life of the security, increases the rate at which premiums are expensed and further reduces interest income.

We may not be able to reinvest loan and security prepayments at rates comparable to the prepaid instruments particularly in periods of declining interest rates.

D-24

A Downturn in the Washington D.C. Metropolitan Area Economy, a Decline in Real Estate Values or Disruptions in the Secondary Mortgage Markets Could Reduce Our Earnings and Financial Condition.

Most of our loans are secured by real estate. As a result, a downturn in this market area could cause significant increases in nonperforming loans, which would reduce our profits. Additionally, a decrease in asset quality could require additions to our allowance for loan losses through increased provisions for loan losses, which would also reduce our profits. In prior years, there had been significant increases in real estate values in our market area. As a result of rising home prices, our loans have been well collateralized. However, a decline in real estate values could cause some of our mortgage loans to become inadequately collateralized, which would expose us to a greater risk of loss.

The secondary mortgage markets are experiencing disruptions resulting from reduced investor demand for mortgage loans and mortgaged-backed securities and increased investor yield requirements for those loans and securities. These conditions may continue or worsen in the future. As a result, a prolonged period of secondary market illiquidity could have an adverse impact on our future earnings and financial condition.

Consequences if merger with Summit doesn’t occur.

The company entered into an agreement, to merge with and into Summit. In approving the merger agreement, the board of directors consulted with Sandler O’Neill regarding the fairness of the transaction to the company’s stockholders from a financial point of view and with the company’s legal counsel regarding its legal duties and the terms of the merger agreement and ancillary documents. The understanding of the board of directors of the options available to the company and the assessment of those options with respect to the prospects and estimated results of the implementation by the company of its business plan as an independent entity under various scenarios, and the determination that none of those options or the realization of the business plan under the best case scenarios were likely to create greater present value for the company’s stockholders than the value to be paid by Summit. On the other hand, if the merger is not consummated the company’s ability to achieve consistent profitability by selling a number of branches to increase capital and reduce overall operating cost would be the next option and, if that option was not successful, the prospects for regulatory action would be the most likely.

We operate in a highly regulated environment and we may be adversely affected by changes in laws and regulations.

The bank is subject to extensive regulation, supervision and examination by the Office of Thrift Supervision and by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, as insurer of its deposits. Such regulation and supervision govern the activities in which the bank and the company may engage, and are intended primarily for the protection of the insurance fund and for the depositors and borrowers of the bank. The regulation and supervision by the Office of Thrift Supervision and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation are not intended to protect the interests of investors in the common stock of the company. Regulatory authorities have extensive discretion in their supervisory and enforcement activities, including the imposition of restrictions on our operations, the classification of our assets and determination of the level of our allowance for loan losses. Any change in such regulation and oversight, whether in the form of regulatory policy, regulations, legislation or supervisory action, may have a material impact on our operations.

A breach of information security could negatively affect our earnings.

Increasingly, we depend upon data processing, communication and information exchange on a variety of computing platforms and networks and over the Internet. We cannot be certain all our systems are entirely free from vulnerability to attack, despite safeguards we have instituted. In addition, we rely on the services of a variety of vendors to meet data processing and communication needs. If information security is breached, information can be lost or misappropriated, resulting in financial loss or costs to us or damages to others. These costs or losses could materially exceed the amount of insurance coverage, if any, which would adversely affect our earnings.

We are subject to heightened regulatory scrutiny with respect to bank secrecy and anti-money laundering statutes and regulations.

Recently, regulators have intensified their focus on the USA PATRIOT Act’s anti-money laundering and Bank Secrecy Act compliance requirements. There is also increased scrutiny of our compliance with the rules enforced by the Office of Foreign Assets Control. In order to comply with regulations, guidelines and examination procedures in this area, we have been required to adopt new policies and procedures and to install new systems. We cannot be certain that the policies, procedures and systems we have in place are flawless. Therefore, there is no assurance that in every instance we are in full compliance with these requirements.

D-25

Failure to pay interest on our debt may adversely impact us.

Deferral of interest payments where allowed on our convertible preferred securities may affect our ability to issue additional debt.

Failure to remain a well capitalized institution.

As of September 30, 2007, the bank was considered a well capitalized institution. Should the bank be classified as an adequately capitalized institution, the bank could not issue brokered certificates of deposit without the permission of the Office of Thrift Supervision or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. At September 30, 2006, the bank was classified as an adequately capitalized institution and the Office of Thrift Supervision limited the payment of dividends from the bank to the company. Without the payment of a dividend from the bank, the company was unable to make a distribution on the cumulative convertible trust preferred securities. When, on December 13, 2006, the bank was advised by the Office of Thrift Supervision that it would not approve the bank’s application to pay a cash dividend to the company, the company exercised its right to defer the scheduled quarterly distributions on the cumulative convertible trust preferred securities.

ITEM 7.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION

Forward-Looking Statements

When used in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and in future filings by the company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), in the company’s press releases or other public or shareholder communications, and in oral statements made with the approval of an authorized executive officer, the words or phrases “will likely result,” “are expected to,” “will continue,” “is anticipated,” “estimate,” “project” or similar expressions are intended to identify “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including, among other things, changes in economic conditions in the company’s market area, changes in policies by regulatory agencies, fluctuations in interest rates, demand for loans in the company’s market area and competition, that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical earnings and those presently anticipated or projected. The company wishes to advise readers that the factors listed above could affect the company’s financial performance and could cause the company’s actual results for future periods to differ materially from any opinions or statements expressed with respect to future periods in any current statements.

The company does not undertake and specifically declines any obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions, which may be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.

Proposed Acquisition

General

The profitability of the company depends primarily on its net-interest income and non-interest income. Net interest income is the difference between the interest income it earns on its loans and investment portfolio, and the interest it pays on interest-bearing liabilities, which consist mainly of interest paid on deposits and borrowings. Non-interest income consists primarily of gain on sales of loans, derivatives and available-for-sale investments and fees from service charges on deposits and loans.

The level of its operating expenses also affects the company’s profitability. Operating expenses consist primarily of salaries and employee benefits, occupancy-related expenses, equipment and technology-related expenses and other general operating expenses.

Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates and Judgments

The company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses as well as the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Management continually evaluates its estimates and judgments including those related to the allowance for loan losses and income taxes. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The company believes that of its significant accounting policies, the following may involve a higher degree of judgment or complexity.

D-31

Allowance for Loan Losses

The company maintains an allowance for loan losses based on management’s evaluation of the risks inherent in its loan portfolio and the general economy. Management classifies loans as substandard, doubtful or loss as required by federal regulations. Management provides a 100% reserve for all assets classified as loss. Further, management bases its estimates of the allowance on current economic conditions, actual loss experience and industry trends. Also, the company discontinues recognizing interest income on loans with principal and/or interest past due 90 days.

Income Taxes

The provision (or benefit) for income taxes is based on taxable income, tax credits and available net operating losses. The company records deferred tax assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates for the effect of temporary differences between the book and tax bases of assets and liabilities. If enacted tax rates change, the company would adjust the deferred tax assets and liabilities, through the provision for income taxes in the period of change, to reflect the enacted tax rate expected to be in effect when the deferred tax items reverse. The company records a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets to reflect the future tax benefits expected to be realized. In determining the appropriate valuation allowance, the company considers the expected level of future taxable income and available tax planning strategies. At September 30, 2007, the company had deferred tax assets of $2.1 million, which is net of a valuation allowance of $3.5 million.

Recent Accounting Standards

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. This statement clarifies the definition of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands the disclosures on fair value measurements. For financial assets and liabilities, SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. We do not believe the adoption of SFAS 157 will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities" (SFAS 159).This statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective of this Statement is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. The fair value option established by this Statement permits all entities to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates. A business entity shall report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The fair value option may be applied instrument by instrument and is irrevocable. SFAS 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. The company is in the process of evaluating the impact SFAS 159 may have on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (R), “Business Combinations”, to create greater consistency in the accounting and financial reporting of business combinations. SFAS 141 (R) requires a company to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquired entity to be measured at their fair values as of the acquisition date. SFAS 141 (R) also requires companies to recognize and measure goodwill acquired in a business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase and how to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141(R) applies to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and is adopted prospectively. Earlier adoption is prohibited. We have not determined the effect, if any, the adoption of this statement will have on our results of operations or financial position.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of ARB No. 51”, to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS 160 requires company to clearly identify and present ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the company in the consolidated financial statements within the equity section but separate from the company’s equity. It also requires the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of income; changes in ownership interest be accounted for similarly, as equity transactions; and when a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary and the gain or loss on the deconsolidation of the subsidiary be measured at fair value. SFAS No. 160 applies to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. We have not determined the effect, if any, the adoption of this statement will have on our results of operations or financial position.

Discontinued mortgage banking operations

On March 29, 2006, we began the process of discontinuing the operations of the bank’s subsidiary, Greater Atlantic Mortgage Corporation. It was determined that, because it was unprofitable, this business no longer fit our strategy.

Due to the unprofitable operations of Greater Atlantic Mortgage Corporation, the company recognized an additional loss of $1.5 million during fiscal 2006. In addition to the loss from operations, a non-recurring pre-tax impairment charge on long-lived assets related to Greater Atlantic Mortgage Corporation of $996,000 was recorded and also included in discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations for fiscal 2006.

As a result of the above action, we applied discontinued operations accounting in the third quarter of 2006, as we completed the closing of the Greater Atlantic Mortgage Corporation business. The table below summarizes Greater Atlantic Mortgage Corporation results which were treated as discontinued operations for the periods indicated.

Financial Condition

2007 Compared to 2006

At September 30, 2007 the company’s total assets were $246.0 million, compared to the $305.2 million held at September 30, 2006, representing a decrease of 19.40%. The decrease resulted primarily from a decrease in investment securities, loans receivable and interest bearing deposits. The decline in the bank’s overall asset size is reflected in the consolidated statements of financial condition and statements of operations as we continued to manage the bank’s assets and liabilities to maintain the bank in a well capitalized position.

Net loans receivable at September 30, 2007 were $176.1 million, a decrease of $17.2 million or 8.90% from the $193.3 million held at September 30, 2006. The decrease in loans consisted primarily of a $5.5 million decline in the bank’s single-family loan portfolio, coupled with a decrease of $8.8 million in the Bank’s consumer loan portfolio. Because the Bank’s single family and consumer loan portfolios consist primarily of adjustable-rate loans, and with the yield curve that existed throughout our fiscal 2007 period, reflecting short-term rates only slightly lower than rates for longer terms, customers were able to extend the terms of their mortgages. Customers were also refinancing away from adjustable-rate loans and into longer term, fixed-rate loans or curtailing outstanding balances. Multifamily loans outstanding increased by $3.2 million and commercial real estate loans increased by $6.6 million during the period. Those increases were offset in part by decreases of $10.0 million in construction and land loans and $5.0 million in commercial business loans. The decrease in construction and land loans was primarily in the single family residential sector of the market. The company anticipates that lending in that area will continue to decline as a result of the current slow sales pace occurring in the single-family market.

At September 30, 2007, investment securities were $52.0 million, a decrease of $28.2 million or 35.17% from the $80.2 million held at September 30, 2006. The cash proceeds from the sale or payoff of investment securities were used to reduce higher cost wholesale funding, including borrowings, brokered deposits and wholesale deposits, and to retain cash for the sale of our Pasadena branch office which occurred on August 24, 2007.

D-33

Deposits at September 30, 2007 were $198.0 million, a decrease of $32.2 million from the $230.2 million held at September 30, 2006. Total deposits decreased primarily due the sale of our Pasadena branch office and our reduced reliance on brokered deposits and wholesale deposits, both of which have a higher cost. The combination of the branch sale and the elimination of brokered deposits and wholesale deposits contributed to a $75.6 million decrease in deposits since September 30, 2006 while total retail deposits increased $40.4 million. The increase in retail deposits is primarily in certificates of deposits and money fund accounts which have been obtained through the bank’s marketing efforts and are at a lower cost than brokered and wholesale deposits.

On February 22, 2006, the company announced that it had engaged Sandler O’Neill & Partners, L.P. to advise on the financial aspects of the company’s review of its strategic options and assist the company in evaluating the financial aspects of all strategic alternatives available.

Results of Operations

2007 Compared to 2006

Net Income. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007, the company had a net income from continuing operations of $951,000 or $0.31 per diluted share compared to a loss from continuing operations of $3.1 million or $1.02 per diluted share for fiscal year 2006. The $4.0 million improvement in earnings over the comparable period one-year ago was primarily the result of an increase in non-interest income and a decrease in non-interest expense. That increase in non-interest income and decrease in non-interest expense were partially offset by a decrease in net interest income and increases in the provision for loan losses and the provision for income taxes. The ongoing net losses from continuing operations remain a consistent problem for management because the loan production needed to maintain the retail branch network has not been attained. Due to the gain arising from the sale of the bank’s Pasadena branch office in August of this year, the bank is currently managing its assets and liabilities to maintain a well capitalized status. Because of the bank’s loans to one borrower limit it cannot aggressively expand its commercial loan portfolio and maintain a consistent level of outstanding loans to larger customers. Those factors have caused earning assets to decline, impacting earnings. Further, margin pressure from the yield curve, which had been inverted since the spring of 2006 and remains inverted from three months to three years and only recently moved to a positive pattern from three to ten years, presents a very challenging environment in which to seek to increase our net interest margin.

Accordingly, during 2007, the company entered into an agreement to merge with and into Summit. In approving the merger agreement, the board of directors consulted with Sandler O’Neill regarding the fairness of the transaction to the company’s stockholders from a financial point of view and with the company’s legal counsel regarding its legal duties and the terms of the merger agreement and ancillary documents. The understanding of the board of directors of the options available to the company and the assessment of those options with respect to the prospects and estimated results of the implementation by the company of its business plan as an independent entity under various scenarios, and the determination that none of those options or the realization of the business plan under the best case scenarios were likely to create greater present value for the company’s stockholders than the value to be paid by Summit. On the other hand, the board of directors considered the company’s ability to achieve consistent profitability by selling a number of branches to increase capital and reduce overall operating cost and the prospects for regulatory action if it failed to do so.

Net Interest Income. An important source of our earnings is net interest income, which is the difference between income earned on interest-earning assets, such as loans, investment securities and mortgage-backed securities, and interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities such as deposits and borrowings. The level of net interest income is determined primarily by the relative average balances of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities in combination with the yields earned and rates paid upon them. The correlation between the repricing of interest rates on assets and on liabilities also influences net interest income.

The following table presents a comparison of the components of interest income and expense and net interest income.

	Years ended September 30,				Difference

D-35

The decrease in net interest income for fiscal year 2007, from the comparable period one year ago, resulted primarily from a $32.0 million decrease in the bank’s interest-earning assets coupled with average interest-earning assets declining by $7.6 million more than the decline in average interest-bearing liabilities. That decrease was coupled with a 1 basis point decrease in net interest margin (net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets) from 2.37% for fiscal year 2006 to 2.36% for fiscal year 2007. The decrease in net interest margin was offset by the average yield on interest-earning assets increasing by 6 basis point more than the increase in the average cost on interest-bearing liabilities.

The interest rate environment has been a difficult one for most financial institutions. With short-term rates close to or at times even higher than long-term rates, the prospects of expanding interest rate spread and net interest margin has been difficult. We expect the interest rate environment to remain challenging and we believe it will continue to have an impact on our net interest margin and net interest rate spread. We also believe, however, that our strategy of changing the balance sheet from one that was wholesale oriented, as reflected in the bank’s former reliance on brokered and internet deposits, to one which is more retail oriented, will benefit us over time. We believe that change will position us to realize a benefit when the interest rate environment improves. If market interest rates were to rise, given our asset sensitivity position, we would also expect our net interest margin to improve. However, in a declining rate environment our interest rate spread and our net interest income would decline. The bank continues to monitor the markets and its interest rate position to alleviate any material changes in net interest margin.

Interest Income. Interest income for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007 decreased $373,000 compared to fiscal year 2006, primarily as a result of a $32.0 million decrease in the average balances of outstanding loans and investment securities. The decreases in those balances were partially offset by an increase of 59 basis points in the average yield earned on interest earning assets.

Interest Expense. The $410,000 increase in interest expense for fiscal year 2007 compared to the 2006 period was principally the result of an 53 basis point increase in the cost of funds on average deposits and borrowings. That increase in the cost of funds was partially offset by a $24.4 million decrease in average deposits and borrowings. The increase in interest expense on deposits was primarily due to a 69 basis point increase in rates paid on deposits, primarily due to higher rates paid on interest-bearing demand deposits and certificates and elevated pricing on new and renewed time deposits. That increase was coupled with an increase of $3.8 million in average deposits from $210.3 million for fiscal 2006 to $214.1 million for fiscal 2007. The increase in rates was primarily due to market rates requiring higher rates on interest-bearing demand deposits, savings accounts and certificates and increased pricing on new and renewed time deposits.

The decrease in interest expense on borrowings for fiscal 2007, when compared to the 2006 period, was principally the result of a $28.2 million decrease in average borrowed funds and was partially offset by a 45 basis point increase in the cost of borrowed funds. Components accountable for the decrease of $1.2 million in interest expense on borrowings were a $1.4 million decrease relating to average volume, offset in part by a $217,000 increase relating to average cost.

Provision for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses, which is established through provisions for losses charged to expense, is increased by recoveries on loans previously charged off and is reduced by charge-offs on loans. Determining the proper reserve level or allowance involves management’s judgment based upon a review of factors, including the company’s internal review process, which segments the loan portfolio into groups based on loan type. Management then looks at its classified assets, which are loans 30 days or more delinquent, and classifies those loans as special mention, substandard or doubtful, based on the performance of the loans. Those classified loans are then individually evaluated for impairment. Those loans that are not individually evaluated are then segmented by type and assigned a reserve percentage that reflects the industry loss experience. The loans individually evaluated for impairment are measured by either, the present value of expected future cash flows, the loans observable market price, or the fair value of the collateral. Although management utilizes its best judgment in providing for probable losses, there can be no assurance that the bank will not have to increase its provisions for loan losses in the future. An increase in provision may result from an adverse market for real estate and economic conditions generally in the company’s primary market area, future increases in non-performing assets or for other reasons which would adversely affect the company’s results of operations. On an annual basis, or more often if deemed necessary, the bank had contracted with an independent outside third party to have its loan portfolio reviewed. The focus of their review is to identify the extent of potential and actual risk in the bank’s commercial loan portfolio, in addition to the underwriting and processing practices. Observations made regarding the bank’s portfolio risk are based upon review evaluations, portfolio profiles and discussion with the operational staff, including the line lenders and senior management. However, because we entered into a definitive agreement for the company to merge with Summit, and based on the due diligence performed by Summit, it was deemed unnecessary to enter into such a contract for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007.

Non-performing assets were $1.3 million or 0.55% of total assets at September 30, 2007, compared to non-performing assets of $1.1 million or 0.36% of total assets at September 30, 2006. At September 30, 2007, assets of $4.7 million were classified as substandard and $675,000 classified as doubtful. A $685,000 provision for loan losses was recorded during the year ended September 30, 2007, compared to a provision of $126,000 during the year ended September 30, 2006. The increase in the provision for loan losses of $559,000 from the year ago period resulted from the increase in non-performing assets, an increase in the outstanding balance of the bank’s commercial real estate loan’s which require a larger allocated allowance provision and an increase of $3.9 million in loans classified as substandard which also require an additional allocation of the bank’s overall provision coupled with an increase of $356,000 in loans classified as doubtful. That increase in provision for those loans was offset with an overall decline in the size of the bank’s loan portfolio.

Non-interest income. Non-interest income increased $4.0 million during fiscal 2007, over fiscal 2006. That increase was primarily the result of increases in other operating income and service fees on deposits. Those increases were partially offset by losses on derivatives, real estate owned and service fees on loans. The increase in other operating income reflects the $4.3 gain recognized from the sale of the bank’s Pasadena, Maryland branch. As previously reported in a Form 8-K filed on April 16, 2007, and noted previously, on April 12, 2007, the company announced that it and Summit entered into a definitive agreement for the company to merge with and into Summit and that the bank and Bay-Vanguard entered into a definitive agreement for Bay-Vanguard to purchase the bank’s branch office in Pasadena, Maryland. The sale of the Pasadena branch office was a condition to the completion of the pending merger of GAFC with and into Summit Financial Group, Inc.

Non-interest expense. Noninterest expense for fiscal 2007 amounted to $9.6 million, a decrease of $1.5 million or 13.16% from the $11.1 million incurred in fiscal 2006. The decrease was distributed over various non-interest expense categories with the contributors being compensation, professional services, advertising, deposit insurance premiums, furniture, fixtures and equipment, data processing and other operating expense. The decreases in those categories of expense were offset by an increase of $57,000 in occupancy expense. The decrease in other operating expense is the result of a settlement offer which required a $500,000 payment by the company during fiscal 2006.

Income Taxes. The company files a consolidated federal income tax return with its subsidiaries and computes its income tax provision or benefit on a consolidated basis. We recorded a provision for income taxes for fiscal 2007 of $36,000 which was due to the alternative minimum tax. We did not record a provision for income taxes for fiscal 2006 and 2005 due to our operating losses. The company believes that it will generate future taxable income through earnings and branch sales, to assure utilization of a certain portion of the existing net operating losses.

Asset-Liability Management

The primary objective of asset/liability management is to ensure the steady growth of the company’s primary earnings component, net interest income, and the maintenance of reasonable levels of capital independent of fluctuating interest rates. Interest rate risk can be defined as the vulnerability of an institution’s financial condition and/or results of operations to movements in interest rates. Interest rate risk, or sensitivity, arises when the maturity or repricing characteristics of assets differ significantly from the maturity or repricing characteristics of liabilities. Management endeavors to structure the balance sheet so that repricing opportunities exist for both assets and liabilities in roughly equivalent amounts at approximately the same time intervals to maintain interest rate risk at an acceptable level.

Management oversees the asset/liability management function and meets periodically to monitor and manage the structure of the balance sheet, control interest rate exposure, and evaluate pricing strategies for the company. The asset mix of the balance sheet is continually evaluated in terms of several variables: yield, credit quality, appropriate funding sources and liquidity. Management of the liability mix of the balance sheet focuses on expanding the company's various funding sources. At times, depending on the general level of interest rates, the relationship between long- and short-term interest rates, market conditions and competitive factors, the bank may determine to increase our interest rate risk position in order to increase our net interest margin.

The bank manages its exposure to interest rates by structuring the balance sheet in the ordinary course of business. The bank currently emphasizes adjustable rate loans and/or loans that mature in a relatively short period when compared to single-family residential loans. In addition, to the extent possible, the bank attempts to attract longer-term deposits. While the bank has entered into interest rate swaps and caps to assist in managing interest rate risk, it has not entered into instruments such as leveraged derivatives, structured notes, financial options, financial futures contracts or forward delivery contracts to manage interest rate risk.

D-40

One of the ways the bank monitors interest rate risk is through an analysis of the relationship between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities to measure the impact that future changes in interest rates will have on net interest income. An interest rate sensitive asset or liability is one that, within a defined time period, either matures or experiences an interest rate change in line with general market interest rates. The management of interest rate risk is performed by analyzing the maturity and repricing relationships between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities at specific points in time (“GAP”) and by analyzing the effects of interest rate changes on net interest income over specific periods of time by projecting the performance of the mix of assets and liabilities in varied interest rate environments.

The table below illustrates the maturities or repricing of the company’s assets and liabilities, including noninterest-bearing sources of funds, to specific periods, at September 30, 2007. Estimates and assumptions concerning allocating prepayment rates of major asset categories are based on information obtained from Farin and Associates on projected prepayment levels on mortgage-backed and related securities and decay rates on savings, NOW and money market accounts. The bank believes that such information is consistent with our current experience.

Ratio of Cumulative GAP to total interest earning assets		28.35	%		19.01	%		8.25	%		9.40	%		1.93	%		3.56	%

As indicated in the interest rate sensitivity table, the 181 day to one-year cumulative gap, representing the total net assets and liabilities that are projected to re-price over the next year, was asset sensitive in the amount of $19.3 million at September 30, 2007.

While the GAP position is a useful tool in measuring interest rate risk and contributes toward effective asset and liability management, it is difficult to predict the effect of changing interest rates solely on the GAP measure without accounting for alterations in the maturity or repricing characteristics of the balance sheet that occur during changes in market interest rates. The GAP position reflects only the prepayment assumptions pertaining to the current rate environment, and assets tend to prepay more rapidly during periods of declining interest rates than they do during periods of rising interest rates.

Management uses two other analyses to manage interest rate risk: (1) an earnings-at-risk analysis to develop an estimate of the direction and magnitude of the change in net interest income if rates move up or down 200 basis points; and (2) a value-at-risk analysis to estimate the direction and magnitude of the change in net portfolio value if rates move up 200 basis points or

D-41

down 200 basis points. Currently the bank uses a sensitivity of net interest income analysis prepared by Farin and Associates to measure earnings-at-risk and the Office of Thrift Supervision Interest Rate Risk Exposure Report to measure value-at-risk.

The following table sets forth the earnings at risk analysis that measures the sensitivity of net interest income to changes in interest rates at September 30, 2007:

Net Interest Income Sensitivity Analysis
Changes in Rate by Basis Point	Net Interest Margin	Basis Point Change From Base	Percent Change From Base
+200	3.15%	0.14%	4.65%
+100	3.08%	0.07%	2.33%
+0	3.01%	-	-
-100	2.90%	(0.11)%	(3.65)%
-200	2.75%	(0.26)%	(8.64)%

In a declining rate scenario the bank is not within the limits established by the board of directors. Management will monitor the situation over the next several quarters to determine if a change should be made in our position.

The above table indicates that, based on an immediate and sustained 200 basis point increase in market interest rates, net interest margin, as measured as a percent of total assets, would increase by 14 basis points or 4.65% and, if interest rates decrease 200 basis points, net interest margin, as a percent of total assets, would decrease by 26 basis points or 8.64%.

The net interest income sensitivity analysis does not represent a forecast and should not be relied upon as being indicative of expected operating results. The estimates used are based upon assumptions as to the nature and timing of interest rate levels including the shape of the yield curve. Those estimates have been developed based upon current economic conditions; the company cannot make any assurances as to the predictive nature of those assumptions including how customer preferences or competitor influences might change.

Presented below is an analysis of our interest rate risk, as of September 30, 2007, as measured by changes in net portfolio value for parallel shifts of up 200 and down 200 basis points in market interest rates:

	Net Portfolio Value		Net Portfolio Value as a Percent of the Present Value of Assets
Changes in Rates (bp)	Dollar Change	Percent Change	Net Portfolio Value Ratio	Change in NPV Ratio
	(Dollars in thousands)
+200	$ (2,054)	(8.46)%	8.97%	(0.67)%
+100	(976)	(4.02)	9.33	(0.31)
+0	-	-	9.64	-
-100	282	1.16	9.69	0.06
-200	308	1.27	9.66	0.02

The decline in net portfolio value of $2.0 million or 8.46% in the event of a 200 basis point increase in rates is a result of the current amount of adjustable rate loans and investments held by the bank as of September 30, 2007 and currently is within the limits established by the board of directors. The foregoing increase in net portfolio value, in the event of a decrease in interest rates of 200 basis points, currently exceeds the company’s internal board guidelines.

In addition to the strategies set forth above, in 2002, the bank began using derivative financial instruments, such as interest rate swaps, to help manage interest rate risk. The bank does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. All derivative financial instruments are used in accordance with board-approved risk management policies.

The bank enters into interest rate swap and cap agreements principally to manage its exposure to the impact of rising short-term interest rates on its earnings and cash flows. Since short-term interest rates have stabilized, the bank has unwound its interest rate swaps during fiscal 2006.

Financial Condition

2006 Compared to 2005

At September 30, 2006, the company had total assets of $305.2 million, a decrease of $34.3 million or 10.11% from the $339.5 million recorded at the close of the comparable period one-year ago. Investments and mortgage-backed securities at September 30, 2006, amounted to $80.2 million a decrease of $35.6 million or 30.78% from the $115.8 million held at September 30, 2005, as a result of prepayments of $42.0 million offset in part by purchases of $7.7 million. Loans receivable and loans held for sale at September 30, 2006, amounted to $193.3 million, a decrease of 5.44% from the $204.4 million held at September 30, 2005, primarily as a result a $9.5 million decrease in loans held for sale, coupled with a $12.6 million decline in land and consumer loans outstanding. Those declines were due primarily to discontinuing the operations of the bank’s subsidiary, GAMC as it was determined that, because it was unprofitable, this business no longer fit our strategy and was coupled with payoffs and lower than anticipated loan originations. Deposits amounted to $230.2 million at September 30, 2006, a decrease of $7.6 million from the $237.8 million held one year ago. That decline was primarily the result of decreases in our checking, savings and certificates of deposit accounts, and was offset by increases in non-interest checking and our money funds accounts.

Results of Operations

2006 Compared to 2005

Net Income. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006, the company had a net loss from continuing operations of $3.1 million or $1.02 per diluted share compared to a loss from continuing operations of $523,000 or $0.17 per diluted share for fiscal year 2005. The $2.6 million decline in earnings over the comparable period one-year ago was primarily the result of an increase in non-interest expense and a decrease in non-interest income. That increase in non-interest expense and decrease in non-interest income were partially offset by an increase in net interest income and a decrease in the provision for loan losses.

The following table presents a comparison of the components of interest income and expense and net interest income.

Investments		4,928		4,528		400		8.83

Net interest income	$	7,211	$	6,945	$	266		3.83	%

Our increase in net interest income for fiscal year 2006, resulted primarily from a 43 basis point increase in net interest margin (net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets) from 1.94% for fiscal year 2005 to 2.37% for fiscal year 2006, offset in part by a $53.8 million decrease in the bank’s interest-earning assets. The increase in net interest margin also resulted from the average yield on interest-earning assets increasing by 33 basis points more than the increase in the average cost on interest-bearing liabilities and was coupled with average interest earning assets decreasing by $746,000 less than the decline in average interest-bearing liabilities.

D-43

Interest Income. Interest income for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006 increased $1.8 million compared to fiscal year 2005, primarily as a result of a 144 basis point increase in the average yield earned on interest earning assets. That increase was partially offset by a decrease of $53.8 million in the average outstanding balances of loans and securities.

Interest Expense. The $1.6 million increase in interest expense for fiscal year 2006 compared to the 2005 period was principally the result of an 111 basis point increase in the cost of funds on average deposits and borrowings. That increase in the cost of funds was partially offset by a $54.5 million decrease in average deposits and borrowings. The increase in interest expense on deposits was primarily due to a 109 basis point increase in rates paid on deposits, primarily due to higher rates paid on interest-bearing demand deposits, savings accounts and certificates and elevated pricing on new and renewed time deposits. That increase was partially offset by a decrease of $35.2 million in average deposits from $245.5 million for fiscal 2005 to $210.3 million for fiscal 2006. The increase in rates was primarily due to market rates moving rates higher on interest-bearing demand deposits, savings accounts and certificates and the pricing on new and renewed time deposits.

The decrease in interest expense on borrowings for fiscal 2006, when compared to the 2005 period, was principally the result of a $19.3 million decrease in average borrowed funds and was partially offset by a 122 basis point increase in the cost of borrowed funds. Components accountable for the increase of $198,000 in interest expense on borrowings were a $629,000 decrease relating to average volume, offset in part by a $827,000 increase relating to average cost.

Provision for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses, which is established through provisions for losses charged to expense, is increased by recoveries on loans previously charged off and is reduced by charge-offs on loans. Determining the proper reserve level or allowance involves management’s judgment based upon a review of factors, including the company’s internal review process, which segments the loan portfolio into groups based on loan type. Management then looks at its classified assets, which are loans 30 days or more delinquent, and classifies those loans as special mention, substandard or doubtful, based on the performance of the loans. Those classified loans are then individually evaluated for impairment. Those loans that are not individually evaluated are then segmented by type and assigned a reserve percentage that reflects the industry loss experience. The loans individually evaluated for impairment are measured by either, the present value of expected future cash flows, the loans observable market price, or the fair value of the collateral. Although management utilizes its best judgment in providing for probable losses, there can be no assurance that the bank will not have to increase its provisions for loan losses in the future. An increase in provision may result from an adverse market for real estate and economic conditions generally in the company’s primary market area, future increases in non-performing assets or for other reasons which would adversely affect the company’s results of operations. On an annual basis, or more often if deemed necessary, the bank has contracted with an independent outside third party to have its loan portfolio reviewed. The focus of their review is to identify the extent of potential and actual risk in the bank’s commercial loan portfolio, in addition to the underwriting and processing practices. Observations made regarding the bank’s portfolio risk are based upon review evaluations, portfolio profiles and discussion with the operational staff, including the line lenders and senior management.

Non-performing assets were $1.1 million or 0.36% of total assets at September 30, 2006, compared to non-performing assets of $1.8 million or 0.54% of total assets at September 30, 2005. At September 30, 2006, assets of $791,000 were classified as substandard and $319,000 classified as doubtful. The decrease in the provision for loan losses of $93,000 resulted from declines in non-performing assets and the outstanding balance of the bank’s land loans, commercial business loans, home equity loans and real estate owned. The decrease in provision was due primarily to the decreases in the required provisions for those loans coupled with an overall decline in the size of the bank’s loan portfolio.

Non-interest income. Non-interest income decreased $2.5 million during fiscal 2006, over fiscal 2005. That decrease was primarily the result of decreases in gain on sale of loans, gains on derivatives, gain on sale of investment securities and declines in other operating income and service fees on deposits. Those decreases in income were partially offset by an increase of $65,000 in gain on sale of real estate owned. The decrease in other operating income reflects the $946,000 gain recognized one year ago from the sale of the bank’s Washington, D.C., Winchester and Sterling, Virginia, branches.

Non-interest expense. Noninterest expense for fiscal 2006 amounted to $11.1 million, an increase of $1.2 million or 12.09% from the $9.9 million incurred in fiscal 2005. The increase in non-interest expense was distributed over various non-interest expense categories with the major contributors being compensation, professional services, advertising and other operating and was offset in part by decreases in, furniture fixtures and equipment and data processing. As previously reported in a Form 8-K filed on September 8, 2006, the company announced that a Demand for Arbitration before the American Arbitration Association was filed against the company, the bank, Greater Atlantic Mortgage Corporation, and Carroll E. Amos, President and Chief Executive Officer of the company and the bank. The increase in other operating expense is the result of a settlement offer which required a contribution of $500,000 by the company toward the settlement. That offer was accepted conditioned on the execution of a mutual release by the parties. That mutual release was executed and as a result, the company established a liability for the settlement and charged $500,000 as other operating expense in fiscal 2006.

Income Taxes. The company files a consolidated federal income tax return with its subsidiaries and computes its income tax provision or benefit on a consolidated basis. We did not record a provision for income taxes for fiscal 2006 and 2005 due to our operating losses. The company believes that it will generate future taxable income through earnings and branch sales, to assure utilization of a certain portion of the existing net operating losses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity. The bank’s primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest payments on loans, mortgage-backed and investment securities and borrowings. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. The bank has continued to maintain the levels of liquid assets as previously required by regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision. The bank manages its liquidity position and demands for funding primarily by investing excess funds in short-term investments and utilizing FHLB advances and reverse repurchase agreements in periods when the bank’s demands for liquidity exceed funding from deposit inflows.

The bank’s most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents, interest bearing deposits and securities available-for-sale. The levels of those assets are dependent on the bank’s operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period. At September 30, 2007, cash and cash equivalents, interest bearing deposits and securities available-for-sale totaled $56.5 million, or 22.99% of total assets.

The primary investing activities of the bank are the origination of residential one- to four-family loans, commercial real estate loans, real estate construction and development loans, commercial business and consumer loans and the purchase of United States Treasury and agency securities, mortgage-backed and mortgage-related securities and other investment securities. During the year ended September 30, 2007, the bank’s loan originations and purchases totaled $79.4 million. The bank did not purchase any United States Treasury or agency securities, mortgage-backed and mortgage related securities or other investment securities during the year ended September 30, 2007. All of our investment securities are classified as either available for sale or held to maturity and for the period ended September 30, 2007 were considered temporarily impaired. The market value of our investment portfolio is obtained from various third party brokerage firms and we believe our filing fairly quantifies the value of those securities. The investments are debt securities that pay principal and interest monthly to maturity at such time as principal is repaid. The fluctuation in value of our portfolio is primarily the result of changes in market rates rather than due to the credit quality of the issuer. The Company has the ability and liquidity to hold those securities until such time as the value recovers or the securities mature.

The bank has other sources of liquidity if a need for additional funds arises. At September 30, 2007, the bank had $25.0 million in advances outstanding from the FHLB and had an additional overall borrowing capacity from the FHLB of $18.3 million at that date. Depending on market conditions, the pricing of deposit products and FHLB advances, the bank may continue to rely on FHLB borrowings to fund asset growth.

At September 30, 2007, the bank had commitments to fund loans and unused outstanding lines of credit, unused standby letters of credit and undisbursed proceeds of construction mortgages totaling $121.3 million. The bank anticipates that it will have sufficient funds available to meet its current loan origination commitments. Certificate accounts, including IRA and Keogh accounts, which are scheduled to mature in less than one year from September 30, 2007, totaled $107.7 million. Based upon experience, management believes the majority of maturing certificates of deposit will remain with the bank. In addition, management of the bank believes that it can adjust the rates offered on certificates of deposit to retain deposits in changing interest rate environments. In the event that a significant portion of these deposits are not retained by the bank, the bank would be able to utilize FHLB advances and reverse repurchase agreements to fund deposit withdrawals, which would result in an increase in interest expense to the extent that the average rate paid on such borrowings exceeds the average rate paid on deposits of similar duration.

Capital Resources. At September 30, 2007, the bank exceeded minimum regulatory capital requirements with a tangible capital level of $18.8 million, or 7.67% of total adjusted assets, which exceeds the required level of $3.7 million, or 1.50%; core capital of $18.8 million, or 7.67% of total adjusted assets, which exceeds the required level of $9.8 million, or 4.00%; and risk-based capital of $20.9 million, or 12.25% of risk-weighted assets, which exceeds the required level of $13.6 million, or 8.00%.

On March 20, 2002, Greater Atlantic Capital Trust I (the, “Trust”), a Delaware statutory business trust and a wholly owned Trust subsidiary of the company, issued $9.6 million aggregate liquidation amount (963,038 shares) of 6.50% cumulative preferred securities maturing on December 31, 2031, retaining an option to call the securities on or after December 31, 2003. Conversion of the preferred securities into the company’s common stock may occur at any time on or after 60 days after the closing of the offering. The company may redeem the preferred securities, in whole or in part, at any time on or after December 31, 2003. Distributions on the preferred securities are payable quarterly on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year beginning on June 30, 2002. The Trust also issued 29,762 common securities to the company for $297,620. The proceeds from the sale of the preferred securities and the proceeds from the sale of the trust’s common securities were utilized to purchase from the company junior subordinated debt securities of $9,928,000 bearing interest of

D-48

6.50% and maturing December 31, 2031. The Company has fully and unconditionally guaranteed the preferred securities along with all obligations of the trust related thereto. The sale of the preferred securities yielded $9.3 million after deducting offering expenses.

To comply with FIN46, the trust preferred subsidiary was deconsolidated in 2004, and the related securities have been presented as obligations of the Company and titled “Junior Subordinated Debt Securities” in the financial statements.

On December 19, 2006, the Company announced that the first quarter distribution on the Greater Atlantic Capital Trust I 6.50% Cumulative Convertible Trust Preferred Securities scheduled for December 31, 2006, as well as future distributions on the Trust Preferred Securities, would be deferred. The announcement by the Company followed advice received by the bank from the Office of Thrift Supervision that it would not approve the bank’s application to pay a cash dividend to the Company.

Accordingly, the Company exercised its right to defer the payment of interest on its 6.50% Convertible Junior Subordinated Debentures Due 2031 related to the Trust Preferred Securities, for an indefinite period (which can be no longer than 20 consecutive quarterly periods).

The company retained approximately $1.3 million of the proceeds for general corporate purposes, investing the retained funds in short-term investments. The remaining $8.0 million of the proceeds was invested in the bank to increase its capital position.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and rates. The company’s market risk arises primarily from interest rate risk inherent in its lending and deposit taking activities. The company has little or no risk related to trading accounts, commodities or foreign exchange.

Changes in levels of interest rates may adversely affect us. In general, market risk is the sensitivity of income to variations in interest rates and other relevant market rates or prices. The company’s market rate sensitive instruments include interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The company enters into market rate sensitive instruments in connection with its various business operations. Loans originated, and the related commitments to originate loans that will be sold, represent market risk that is realized in a short period of time, generally two or three months.

The company’s primary source of market risk exposure arises from changes in United States interest rates and the effects thereof on mortgage prepayment and closing behavior, as well as depositors’ choices (“interest rate risk”). Changes in these interest rates will result in changes in the company’s earnings and the market value of its assets and liabilities. We expect to continue to realize income from the differential or "spread" between the interest earned on loans, securities and other interest-earning assets, and the interest paid on deposits, borrowings and other interest-bearing liabilities. That spread is affected by the difference between the maturities and re-pricing characteristics of interest-earnings assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Loan volume and yields are affected by market interest rates on loans, and rising interest rates generally are associated with fewer loan originations. Management expects that a substantial portion of our assets will continue to be indexed to changes in market interest rates and we intend to attract a greater proportion of short-term liabilities, which will help address our interest rate risk. The lag in implementation of re-pricing terms on our adjustable-rate assets may result in a decline in net interest income in a rising interest rate environment. There can be no assurance that our interest rate risk will be minimized or eliminated. Further, an increase in the general level of interest rates may adversely affect the ability of certain borrowers to pay the interest on and principal of their obligations. Accordingly, changes in levels of market interest rates, (primarily increases in market interest rates), could materially adversely affect our interest rate spread, asset quality, loan origination volume and overall financial condition and results of operations.

To mitigate the impact of changes in market interest rates on our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, we actively manage the amounts and maturities of these assets and liabilities. A key component of this strategy is the origination and retention of short-term and adjustable-rate assets and the origination and sale of fixed-rate loans. We retain short-term and adjustable-rate assets because they have re-pricing characteristics that more closely match the re-pricing characteristics of our liabilities.

To further mitigate the risk of timing differences in the re-pricing of assets and liabilities, our interest-earning assets are matched with interest-bearing liabilities that have similar re-pricing characteristics. For example, the interest rate risk of holding fixed-rate loans is managed with long-term deposits and borrowings, and the risk of holding ARMs is managed with short-term deposits and borrowings. Periodically, mismatches are identified and managed by adjusting the re-pricing characteristics of our interest-bearing liabilities with derivatives, such as interest rate caps and interest rate swaps.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

An evaluation of the company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Act")) as of September 30, 2007, was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the company's Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and several other members of the company's senior management. The company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the company's disclosure controls and procedures currently in effect are effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the company in the reports it files or submits under the Act is: (i) accumulated and communicated to the company's management (including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) in a timely manner and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. In addition, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Act) that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2007, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

The company does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting will prevent all error and all fraud. A control procedure, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control procedure are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control procedures, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls may be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by override of the control. The design of any control procedure also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control procedure, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires that companies evaluate and annually report on their systems of internal control over financial reporting. In addition, our independent accountants must report on management's evaluation for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2010. We are in the process of evaluating, documenting and testing our system of internal control over financial reporting to provide the basis for our report that will, for the first time, be a required part of our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2008. Due to the ongoing evaluation and testing of our internal controls, there can be no assurance that if any control deficiencies are identified they will be remediated before the end of the 2008 fiscal year, or that there will not be significant deficiencies or material weaknesses that would be required to be reported.

Compliance with Section 16 (a) of the Exchange Act

Section 16(a) of the Securities and Exchange Act requires the company's executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of the company's equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., and to furnish the company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

Based solely on its review of the copies of such forms received by it, or written representations from certain reporting persons that no Forms 5 were required for those persons, the company believes that all filing requirements applicable to its executive officers and directors were met during fiscal 2007.

Employment Agreement. The company has entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Carroll E. Amos. The employment agreement is intended to ensure that the bank and the company will be able to maintain a stable and competent management base. The continued success of the bank and the company depends to a significant degree on the skills and competence of its executive officers, particularly the Chief Executive Officer.

The employment agreement provides for a three-year term for Mr. Amos and provides that commencing on the first anniversary date and continuing each anniversary date thereafter the board of directors will conduct a performance appraisal of Mr. Amos and may extend the employment agreement for an additional year so that the remaining term shall be three years, unless the board of directors determines that there is no basis upon which to extend the employment agreement, it will be extended for an additional year. The employment agreement provides that Mr. Amos’s base salary will be reviewed annually. The base salary provided for in the employment agreement for Mr. Amos was increased to $165,400 at the fourth anniversary date and to $182,000 on January 1, 2003. In addition to the base salary, the employment agreement provides for, among other things, participation in various employee benefit plans and stock-based compensation programs, as well as furnishing fringe benefits available to similarly situated executive personnel.

D-54

The employment agreement provides for termination by the bank for cause (as defined in the employment agreement) at any time. In he event the bank chooses to terminate Mr. Amos’s employment for reasons other than for cause or, in the event of Mr. Amos’s resignation from the bank upon: (i) the failure to re-elect Mr. Amos to his current office; (ii) a material change in Mr. Amos’s functions, duties or responsibilities; (iii) a relocation of Mr. Amos’s principal place of employment by more than 30 miles, or a material reduction in the benefits and perquisites to Mr. Amos from those being provided as of the effective date of the employment agreement ; (iv) liquidation or dissolution of the bank or the company; or (v) a breach of the employment agreement by the bank, Mr. Amos or, in the event of death, Mr. Amos's beneficiary, would be entitled to receive an amount equal to the greater of (i) the remaining base salary and bonus payments that would have been paid to Mr. Amos during the remaining term of the employment agreement or (ii) thirty-six (36) times the highest monthly base salary received by Mr. Amos during the term of the employment agreement. The bank would also continue and pay for Mr. Amos's life, health and disability coverage for the remaining term of the employment agreement. Upon any termination of Mr. Amos’s employment for any reason other than a change in control, Mr. Amos is subject to a covenant not to compete with the bank for one year.

Under the employment agreement, if involuntary termination or voluntary termination follows a change in control of the bank or the company, Mr. Amos or, in the event of his death, his beneficiary, would receive a severance payment equal to the greater of: (i) the payments due for the remaining term of the employment agreement; or (ii) two times the average of the three preceding taxable years’ annual compensation. The bank would also continue Mr. Amos’s life, health, and disability coverage for thirty-six months. In the event of a change in control of the bank, the total amount of payment due under the employment agreement, based solely on the base salary paid to Mr. Amos, and excluding any benefits under any employee benefit plan which may otherwise become payable, would equal approximately $364,000.

All reasonable costs and legal fees paid or incurred by Mr. Amos pursuant to any dispute or question of interpretation relating to the employment agreement is to be paid by the bank, if he is successful on the merits pursuant to a legal judgment, arbitration or settlement. The employment agreement also provides that the bank will indemnify Mr. Amos to the fullest extent allowable under federal law.

Directors' Compensation

Fees. Since the formation of the company, the executive officers, directors and other personnel have been compensated for services by the bank and have not received additional remuneration from the company. Beginning on October 1, 1998, the Chairman was made a salaried officer of the bank and the company and in those capacities received compensation at the rate of $3,000 per month. Since January 1, 2003, each outside directors of the bank has received $750 for each Board meeting and $350 for each committee meeting attended.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Federal regulations require that all loans or extensions of credit to executive officers and directors must be made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with the general public and must not involve more than the normal risk of repayment or present other unfavorable features. In addition, loans made to a director or executive officer in excess of the greater of $25,000 or 5% of the bank's capital and surplus (up to a maximum of $500,000) must be approved in advance by a majority of the disinterested members of the board of directors.

The bank currently makes loans to its executive officers and directors on the same terms and conditions offered to the general public. The bank's policy provides that all loans made by the bank to its executive officers and directors be made in the ordinary course of business, on substantially the same terms, including collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other persons and may not involve more than the normal risk of collectibility or present other unfavorable features. As of September 30, 2007, one of the bank's directors had loans with the bank which had outstanding balances totaling $73,000. Such loans were made by the bank in the ordinary course of business, with no favorable terms and do not involve more than the normal risk of collectibility or present unfavorable features.

The company’s policy is that all transactions between the company and its executive officers, directors, holders of 10% or more of the shares of any class of its common stock and affiliates thereof, will contain terms no less favorable to the company than could have been obtained by it in arm's length negotiations with unaffiliated persons and will be approved by a majority of independent outside directors of the company not having any interest in the transaction.

ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES

Tax Fees

BDO Seidman billed the company $30,358 and $35,600 for tax services for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Tax fees represented 22.15% of the fees paid to BDO Seidman, LLP in fiscal year 2007 and 13.66% in fiscal year 2006.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Board of Directors and Stockholders

Greater Atlantic Financial Corp.

Reston, Virginia

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition of Greater Atlantic Financial Corp. and Subsidiaries as of September 30, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 30, 2007. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Operations

Greater Atlantic Financial Corp. (“GAFC” or the “Company”) is a bank holding company whose principal activity is the ownership and management of Greater Atlantic Bank (“GAB” or the “Bank”). The Bank originates commercial, mortgage and consumer loans and receives deposits from customers located primarily in Virginia, Washington, D.C. and Maryland. The Bank operates under a federal bank charter and provides full banking services.

Proposed Acquisition

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of GAFC and its wholly owned subsidiaries, the bank and Greater Atlantic Capital Trust I. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Risk and Uncertainties

In its normal course of business, the Company encounters two significant types of risk: economic and regulatory. There are three main components of economic risk: interest rate risk, credit risk and market risk. The Company is subject to interest rate risk to the degree that its interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice more rapidly, or on a different basis, than its interest-earning assets. Credit risk is the risk of default on the Company's loan portfolio that results from the borrowers' inability or unwillingness to make contractually required payments. Market risk reflects changes in the value of collateral underlying loans receivable and the valuation of real estate held by the Company. The determination of the allowance for loan losses and the valuation of real estate are based on estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant changes in the economic environment and market conditions. Management believes that, as of September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006, the allowance for loan losses and valuation of real estate are adequate based on information currently available. A worsening or protracted economic decline would increase the likelihood of losses due to credit and market risks and could create the need for substantial additional loan loss reserves. See discussion of regulatory matters in Note 12.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company's primary business activity is with customers located in Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia. The Company primarily originates residential loans to customers throughout these areas, most of whom are residents local to the Company's business locations. The Company has a diversified loan portfolio consisting of residential, commercial and consumer loans. Commercial and consumer loans generally provide for higher interest rates and shorter terms; however, such loans have a higher degree of credit risk. Management monitors all loans, including, when possible, making inspections of the properties, maintaining current operating statements, and performing net realizable value calculations with allowances for losses established as necessary to properly reflect the value of the properties. Management believes the current loss allowances are sufficient to cover the credit risk estimated to exist at September 30, 2007.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Investment Securities

Investment securities, which the Company has the intent and ability to hold to maturity, are carried at amortized cost. The amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts are recorded on the level yield (interest) method, over the period from the date of purchase to maturity. When sales do occur, gains and losses are recognized at the time of sale and the determination of cost of securities sold is based upon the specific identification method. Investment securities which the Company intends to hold for indefinite periods of time, use for asset/liability management or that are to be sold in response to changes in interest rates, prepayment risk, the need to increase regulatory capital or other similar factors are classified as available-for-sale and carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported in a separate component of stockholders’ equity. If a sale does occur, gains and losses are recognized as a component of earnings at the time of the sale. The amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts are recorded on the level yield (interest) method.

Investment securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term would be classified as trading securities and reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings.

Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses

Loans receivable are stated at unpaid principal balances, net of unearned discounts resulting from add-on interest, participation or whole-loan interests owned by others, undisbursed loans in process, deferred loan fees, and allowances for loan losses.

Loans are placed on non-accrual status when the principal or interest is past due more than 90 days or when, in management’s opinion, collection of principal and interest is not likely to be made in accordance with a loan’s contractual terms unless the loan principal and interest are determined by management to be fully secured and in the process of collection.

The allowance for loan losses provides for the risk of losses inherent in the lending process. The allowance for loan losses is based on periodic reviews and analyses of the loan portfolio which include consideration of such factors as the risk rating of individual credits, the size and diversity of the portfolio, economic conditions, prior loss experience and results of periodic credit reviews of the portfolio. The allowance for loan losses is increased by provisions for loan losses charged against income and reduced by charge-offs, net of recoveries. In management’s judgment, the allowance for loan losses is considered adequate to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio at September 30, 2007.

The Company considers a loan to be impaired if it is probable that they will be unable to collect all amounts due (both principal and interest) according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. When a loan is deemed impaired, the Company computes the present value of the loan's future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate. As an expedient, creditors may account for impaired loans at the fair value of the collateral or at the observable market price of the loan if one exists. If the present value is less than the carrying value of the loan, a valuation allowance is recorded. For collateral dependent loans, the Company uses the fair value of the collateral, less estimated costs to sell on a discounted basis, to measure impairment.

Mortgage loans originated and intended for sale are carried at the lower of cost or estimated market value in the aggregate. Net unrealized losses are recognized in a valuation allowance by charges to income.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company uses derivative financial instruments to mitigate market risk from changes in interest rates. Our derivative financial instruments are contracted in the over-the-counter market and currently includes interest rate caps. Derivative financial instruments are accounted for in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS 133), which requires that all derivative instruments be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded each period either in current results of operations or other comprehensive income (loss). For a derivative designated as part of a hedge transaction, where it is recorded is dependent on whether it is a fair value hedge or a cash flow hedge. For a derivative designated as a fair value hedge, the gain or loss of the derivative in the period of change and the offsetting loss or gain of the hedged item attributed to the hedged risk are recognized in results of operations. For a derivative designated as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the derivative's gain or loss is initially reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) and subsequently reclassified into results of operations when the hedged exposure affects results of operations. The ineffective portion of the gain or loss of a cash flow hedge is recognized currently in results of operations. For a derivative not designated as a hedging instrument, the gain or loss is recognized currently in results of operations. The Company’s derivatives do not meet hedge accounting requirements under SFAS 133, and, therefore, the Company carries the derivatives at their fair value on the balance sheet, recognizing changes in their fair value in current-period earnings.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Mortgage Loan Income, Discounts and Premiums

Interest income on loans is recorded on the accrual method. Discounts and premiums relating to mortgage loans purchased are deferred and amortized against or accreted into income over the estimated lives of the loans using the level yield (interest) method. Accrual of interest is discontinued and an allowance for uncollected interest is established and charged to interest income for the full amount of accrued interest receivable on loans, which are delinquent for a period of 90 days or more.

Loan Origination and Commitment Fees

Loan origination and commitment fees and certain incremental direct loan origination costs are being deferred with the net amount being amortized as an adjustment of the related loan's yield. The Company is amortizing those amounts over the contractual life of the related loans as adjusted for anticipated prepayments using current and past payment trends.

Mortgage Loan Sales and Servicing

The Company sells loans and participation interests in loans on which it retains servicing.

When servicing is retained on a loan that is sold, the Company recognizes a gain or loss based on the present value of the difference between the average constant rate of interest it receives, adjusted for a normal servicing fee, and the yield it must pay to the purchaser of the loan over the estimated remaining life of the loan. Any resulting net premium is deferred and amortized over the estimated life of the loan using a method approximating the level yield (interest) method. There were no loans sold with servicing rights retained during the years ended September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006. The Company also sells participation interests in loans that it services.

Premises and Equipment

Premises and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method over useful lives ranging from five to ten years. Leasehold improvements are capitalized and amortized using the straight-line method over the life of the related lease.

Foreclosed Real Estate

Real estate acquired through foreclosure is recorded at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated selling costs. Subsequent to the date of foreclosure, valuation adjustments are made, if required, to the lower of cost or fair value less estimated selling costs. Costs related to holding the real estate, net of related income, are reflected in operations when incurred. Recognition of gains on sale of real estate is dependent upon the transaction meeting certain criteria relating to the nature of the property sold and the terms of the sale.

Guaranteed Convertible Preferred Securities

On July 1, 2003, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 150, “Accounting for Mandatorily Redeemable Securities” (“SFAS 150”). SFAS 150 requires that the Company classify redeemable securities with a mandatory redemption date as liabilities in its balance sheet and classify distributions related to such securities as interest expense. Also, SFAS 150 requires that the redeemable securities be reflected at fair market value when reclassified as a liability. Accordingly, the guaranteed convertible preferred securities are presented as a liability in the Statements of Financial Condition. The Company has consistently accounted for distributions related to these securities as interest expense, and since the Company sold the securities in a public offering, there was no fair market value adjustment necessary.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Income Taxes

Income taxes are calculated using the liability method specified by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. The net deferred tax asset is reduced, if necessary, by a valuation allowance for the amount of any tax benefits that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized (See Note 10).

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers cash and interest bearing deposits in other banks as cash and cash equivalents for purposes of preparing the statement of cash flows.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management 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 from those estimates.

Comprehensive Income

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income” (“SFAS 130”), establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Among other disclosures, SFAS 130 requires that all items that are required to be recognized under current accounting standards as components of comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements. Presently, the Company’s comprehensive income and loss is from unrealized gains and losses on certain investment securities.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123R”), to measure compensation cost for stock options effective after October 1, 2005. Prior to its adoption, the Company accounted for its options under APB 25 “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” with pro forma disclosed. There were no stock options granted in 2007; however, as allowable under SFAS 123R, the Company used the Black-Scholes method to measure the compensation cost of stock options granted in 2006 with the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 4.88%, a dividend payout rate of zero, and an expected option life of nine years. The volatility is 32%. Using these assumptions, the fair value of stock options granted during fiscal 2006 was $2.92. In 2005 the Company used the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 4.23%, a dividend payout rate of zero, and an expected option life of nine years. The volatility is 47%. Using these assumptions, the fair value of stock options granted during fiscal 2005 was $3.70. There were 12,000 options granted during fiscal 2006 with an estimated fair value of $22,000. If the Company had elected to recognize compensation cost based on the value at the grant dates with the method prescribed by SFAS 123, net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share for 2005 would have been changed to the pro forma amounts indicated in the following table:

Reclassifications

Certain immaterial reclassifications related to interest expense and derivative gains have been made to prior periods to place them on a basis comparable with the current period presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on the results of operations previously reported.

2. Discontinued operations

On March 29, 2006, we began the process of discontinuing the operations of the Bank’s subsidiary, Greater Atlantic Mortgage Corporation. It was determined that, because it was unprofitable, this business no longer fit our strategy.

As a result of the above action, we applied discontinued operations accounting in the financial statements, as we completed the closing of the Greater Atlantic Mortgage Corporation business. The table below summarizes Greater Atlantic Mortgage Corporation results which were treated as discontinued operations for the periods indicated.

Such unrealized holding losses are the result of an increase in market interest rates during fiscal 2007 and are not the result of credit or principal risk. Based on the nature of the investments and other considerations discussed above, management concluded that such unrealized losses were not other than temporary as of September 30, 2007

Management has provided a valuation allowance for net deferred tax assets, due to the timing of the generation of future taxable income. The Company believes that it will generate future taxable income through earnings and branch sales to assure utilization of a certain portion of the existing net operating losses.

At September 30, 2007, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes of approximately $11.5 million, which expire in the years 2008 to 2026. As a result of the change in ownership of the bank, approximately $1.5 million of the total net operating loss carryforwards are subject to an annual usage limitation of $114,000. In addition certain additional limitations will exist should the merger with Summit occur.

11. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers and to reduce its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. Those financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, and financial guarantees. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet. The contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments.

In the event of nonperformance by the other party to financial instrument for commitments to extend credit, for standby letters of credit or for written financial guarantees the Company's exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual notional amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

At September 30, 2007, the Company had outstanding commitments to originate loans and undisbursed construction mortgages aggregating approximately $9.5 million. Fixed rate commitments are at market rates as of the commitment dates and generally expire within 60 days. In addition, the Company was contingently liable under unused lines of credit for approximately $111.8 million and standby letters of credit for approximately $310,000.

Rental Commitments

The Company has entered into lease agreements for the rental of certain properties expiring on various dates through October 31, 2015. The future minimum rental commitments as of September 30, 2007, for all non-cancelable lease agreements, are as follows:

Years ending September 30,	Rental Commitments

12. Regulatory Matters

Generally, annual dividends by the Bank to the Company as its sole shareholder are limited to the amount of current year net income, plus the total net income for the preceding two years, adjusted for any prior year distributions. Under certain circumstances, regulatory approval would be required before making a capital distribution. The Bank did not pay any cash dividends during the years ended September 30, 2007, 2006 or 2005.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (FDICIA) created five categories of financial institutions based on the adequacy of their regulatory capital level: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized. Under FDICIA, a well-capitalized financial institution is one with Tier 1 leverage capital of 5%, Tier 1 risk-based capital of 6% and total risk-based capital of 10%. At September 30, 2007 the Bank was classified as a well capitalized financial institution and was classified as an adequately capitalized financial institution at September 30, 2006.

As part of FDICIA, the minimum capital requirements that the Bank is subject to are as follows: 1) tangible capital equal to at least 1.5% of adjusted total assets, 2) core capital equal to at least 4% of adjusted total assets and 3) total risk-based capital equal to at least 8% of risk-based assets.

The following presents the Bank’s capital position at September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006:

At September 30, 2007	Required Balance		Required Percent			Actual Balance		Actual Percent			Surplus
(Dollars in Thousands)
Tangible	$	3,684		1.50	%	$	18,830		7.67	%	$	15,146

Failure to meet any of the three capital requirements causes savings institutions to be subject to certain regulatory restrictions and limitations including a limit on asset growth, and the requirement to obtain regulatory approval before certain transactions or activities are entered into.

13. Stockholders’ Equity

Effective November 14, 1998, the Company established the 1997 Stock Option and Warrant Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan reserves options for 76,667 shares to employees and warrants for 94,685 shares to stockholders. The Plan was amended effective March 14, 2000, to increase the number of options available for grant from 76,667 to 225,000 shares to employees and amended again effective March 15, 2002, to increase the number of options available for grant from 225,000 to 350,000 shares to employees and to limit its application to officers and employees. The stock options and warrants vest immediately upon issuance and carry a maximum term of 10 years. The exercise price for the stock options and warrants is the fair market value at grant date. As of September 30, 2007, 88,016 warrants were outstanding.

14. Earnings (Loss) Per Share of Common Stock

The Company reports earning per share in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings Per Share” (“SFAS 128”). SFAS 128 requires two presentations of earning per share – “basic” and “diluted.” Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing income available to common stockholders (the numerator) for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year (the denominator). The computation of diluted earnings per share is similar to basic earnings per share, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive common shares had been issued.

The following table presents a reconciliation between the basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share for the year ended September 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005:

	For the Year Ended September 30,
	2007			2006			2005
	Income	Shares	Per Share Amount	Income (loss)	Shares	Per Share Amount	Income (loss)	Shares	Per Share Amount
(Dollars in Thousands, Except Per Share Data)
Basic earnings per share	$951	3,023,407	$0.31	$(5,571)	3,020,934	$(1.84)	$(1,630)	3,015,509	$(0.54)
Effect of conversion of preferred securities	405	1,368,143	-	-	-	-	-	-	-
Effect of dilutive stock options	-	3,458	-	-	-	-	-	-	-
Diluted	$1,356	4,395,008	$0.31	$(5,571)	3,020,934	$(1.84)	$(1,630)	3,015,509	$(0.54)

The effect of the conversion of preferred securities and stock options of 1,381,079 and 1,386,030 were excluded in 2006 and 2005, respectively, as they would have been anti-dilutive.

15. Related Party Transactions

The Bank offers loans to its officers, directors, employees and related parties of such persons. These loans are made in the ordinary course of business and, in the opinion of management, do not involve more than the normal risk of collectibility, or present other unfavorable features. Such loans are made on the same terms as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with non-affiliated persons. The aggregate balance of loans to directors, officers and other related parties is $181,000 and $263,000 as of September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006, respectively.

16. Market Value Disclosure of Financial Instruments

The fair value information for financial instruments, which is provided below, is based on the requirements of Financial Accounting Standard Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” and does not represent the aggregate net fair value of the Bank.

Much of the information used to determine fair value is subjective and judgmental in nature; therefore, fair value estimates, especially for less marketable securities, may vary. The amounts actually realized or paid upon settlement or maturity could be significantly different.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument for which it is reasonable to estimate that value:

A. Cash and interest bearing deposits - Fair value is estimated to be carrying value.

B. Investment securities - Fair value is estimated using quoted market prices or market estimates.

C. Loans receivable - Fair value is estimated by discounting future cash flows using the current rate for similar loans.

D. Deposits - For passbook savings, checking and money market accounts, fair value is estimated at carrying value. For fixed maturity certificates of deposit, fair value is estimated by discounting future cash flows at the currently offered rates for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

E. Advances from the FHLB of Atlanta and reverse repurchase agreements - Fair value is estimated by discounting future cash flows at the currently offered rates for advances of similar remaining maturities.

F. Off-balance sheet instruments - The fair value of commitments is determined by discounting future cash flows using the current rate for similar loans. Commitments to extend credit for other types of loans and standby letters of credit were determined by discounting future cash flows using current rates.

The carrying value and estimated fair value of financial instruments is summarized as follows:

	For the Year Ended September 30,
	2007				2006
	Carrying value		Estimated fair value		Carrying value		Estimated fair value
(In Thousands)
Assets:
Cash and interest bearing deposits	$	7,632	$	7,632	$	19,804	$	19,804
Investment securities		51,963		51,855		80,157		79,921
Loans receivable		176,108		176,833		193,307		193,049
Liabilities:
Deposits		197,991		198,368		230,174		229,818
Borrowings		27,192		27,980		54,574		55,333
Off-balance sheet instruments:
Commitments to extend credit		-		31		-		10

17. Employee Benefit Plans

The Company operates a 401(k) Retirement Plan covering all full-time employees meeting the minimum age and service requirements. Contributions to the Retirement Plan are at the discretion of the Company. The Company made no contributions for the years ended September 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005.

19. Segment Reporting and discontinued operations

The Company had two reportable segments, banking and mortgage banking. However, the mortgage-banking activities conducted in GAMC, to which the mortgage-banking segment applied, were discontinued effective March 29, 2006. The Bank operates retail deposit branches in the greater Washington, D.C./Baltimore metropolitan area. The banking segment provides retail consumers and small businesses with deposit products such as demand, transaction, and savings accounts and certificates of deposit and lending products, such as residential and commercial real estate, construction and development, consumer and commercial business loans. Further, the banking segment invests in residential real estate loans purchased from GAMC and others, and also invests in mortgage-backed and other securities. The mortgage banking activities, which were conducted principally through GAMC, included the origination of residential real estate loans either for sale into the secondary market, with servicing released or for the Bank’s portfolio.

On March 29, 2006, we began the process of discontinuing the operations of the Bank’s subsidiary, GAMC. It was determined that, because it was unprofitable, this business no longer fit our strategy. In the third quarter of 2006, we applied discontinued operations accounting for GAMC.

Due to the unprofitable operations of GAMC, the Company recognized an additional loss of $1.5 million for the year ended September 30, 2006. In addition to the loss from operations, a non-recurring pre-tax impairment charge for long-lived assets related to GAMC of $996,000 was recorded and also included in discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations for fiscal 2006.

21. Derivative Financial Instruments

Beginning in fiscal 2002, the Bank utilized derivative financial instruments to hedge its interest rate risk. Beginning in 2002, the Bank adopted statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 133”) which requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities and measure those instruments at fair value. The Bank bases the estimated fair values of these agreements on the cost of interest-rate exchange agreements with similar terms at available market prices, excluding accrued interest receivable and payable. However, active markets do not exist for many types of financial instruments. Consequently, fair values for these instruments must be estimated using techniques such as discounted cash flow analysis and comparisons to similar instruments. Estimates developed using these methods are highly subjective and require judgments regarding significant matters such as the amount and timing of future cash flows and the selection of discount rates that appropriately reflect market and credit risks. Changes in these judgments often have a material effect on the fair value estimates. Since those estimates are made as of a specific time, they are susceptible to material near term changes.

The Bank entered into various interest-rate swaps during fiscal year 2003 and 2002 that were sold during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006 and totaled at that time $21 million in notional principal. The swaps paid a fixed rate with the Bank receiving payments based upon one-to three-month floating rate LIBOR. The capped range was between 1.67% - 3.01%, and expired between 1 and 5 years. The Bank also entered into various interest rate caps during fiscal year 2003 and 2002 that total $20 million in notional principal with terms between eight and ten years that limit the float between a floor of 2.00%, and capped between 6.50% - 8.00%. The Bank accounts for these derivatives, under the guidelines of SFAS 133.

The Company’s derivatives do not meet hedge accounting requirements under SFAS 133, and therefore, the Company carries the derivatives at their fair value on the balance sheet, recognizing changes in their fair value in current-period earnings. The Company recognized a loss of $21,000 in fiscal 2007, a gain of $212,000 in fiscal 2006 and a gain of $303,000 in fiscal 2005 related to its derivatives.

22. Recent Accounting Standards

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities" (SFAS 159).This statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective of this Statement is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. The fair value option established by this Statement permits all entities to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates. A business entity shall report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The fair value option may be applied instrument by instrument and is irrevocable. SFAS 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact SFAS 159 may have on its consolidated financial statements.
