Summit Bank Corporation Announces Quarterly Dividend

Summit Bank Corporation (Nasdaq: SBGA) announced a
quarterly dividend of $.10 per share payable to all shareholders of
record on August 21, 2006, to be paid on August 31, 2006.
   Summit recently announced second quarter 2006 earnings of $1.68
million, or $0.24 diluted earnings per share, compared to $1.35
million, or $0.24 diluted earnings per share, for the second quarter
of 2005. Summit's earnings resulted in a second quarter 2006 return on
average shareholders' equity of 11.88% compared to 15.58% for the same
period last year. The decline in return on shareholders' equity from
last year is attributable to the $20.3 million of additional capital
raised from Summit's common stock offering earlier this year. Total
assets were $656.7 million at June 30, 2006, up 24.4% over the $528.0
million at June 30, 2005, primarily due to the acquisition of Concord
Bank, N.A. (Concord) in Houston, Texas on April 1, 2006. Concord had
approximately $120 million in assets, $96 million in loans and $108
million in deposits at the closing date.
