March 31, 2008—Summit Financial Services Group, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: SFNS) today announced its revenues and net income for fiscal year 2007. For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company reported revenues of $37.54 million, a nearly 28% increase over the $29.36 million in revenues reported for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Marshall Leeds, the Company’s Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President, stated: “We are pleased with our improved results for 2007; these improvements could not have been made without the support and commitment of our financial advisors, their associates and our home office partners. The aforementioned notwithstanding, we believe that the significant turmoil in the financial markets during the first quarter of 2008, and related erosion of investor confidence, may have a negative impact on our results for 2008. We remain committed, however, to investing in the continuing development of our network of financial advisors as part of our long term strategy for growing our revenues and earnings. “
