Item 1.  Financial Statements (Continued)

                        UNITED COMMUNITY BANKSHARES, INC.
                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and, therefore, do
not include all of the disclosures and notes required by generally accepted
accounting principles. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included. The results of operations for the three-month periods ended June
30, 1998 and 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the entire year or any interim periods.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of United Community Bankshares, Inc. ("UCB" or "the Company") and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries, The Bank of Franklin ("BOF"), The Bank of Sussex and
Surry ("BSS"), and their wholly-owned subsidiaries, The Bank of Franklin Service
Corporation and BSS Service Corporation, respectively. All significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

BOF and BSS commenced operations in 1971 and 1902, respectively. The Bank of
Franklin Service Corporation and BSS Service Corporation were organized in 1997
and 1994, respectively, to facilitate investment in financial related services.

The consolidation has been prepared using the pooling of interests method of
accounting. 


NOTE B - EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share, for the periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, are
calculated by dividing net income by the average number of common shares
outstanding of 1,829,209 shares.

Diluted earnings per common share reflects the potential dilution that could
occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or
converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that
would then share in the earnings of the entity. In accordance with the
requirements of adopted FASB Statement No. 128, Earnings per Share, all prior
period EPS data has been restated to reflect the change in accounting
requirements. Diluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing net income
by the diluted average shares outstanding. For the second quarters of 1998 and
1997, the average diluted shares outstanding was 1,840,992 and 1,829,209,
respectively. For the six month periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, the
average diluted shares outstanding was 1,843,124 and 1,829,209, respectively.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
         of Operations

Earnings Summary

UCB reported net income of $1.067 million for the six month period ending June
30, 1998, compared to $1.039 million for the same period in 1997, which
represents a $28,000 increase or 2.7%. Net interest income, the Company's
primary source of earnings, increased $72,000 during the six month period ended
June 30, 1998, compared to 1997. Non-interest income increased $83,000 or 21.3%
and non-interest expenses increased $96,000, or 5.1%. Basic and diluted earnings
per share of common stock increased to $0.58 for the first six months of 1998,
up by $0.01 per share when compared to $0.57 for the first six months of 1997.

For the second quarter of 1998, net income was $538,000, compared to $535,000
for the second quarter of 1997. During the second quarter of 1998, net interest
income increased $30,000, non-interest income increased $58,000 and non-interest
expenses increased $54,000 compared to the second quarter of 1997. Basic and
diluted earnings per share were $0.29 for the second quarters of 1998 and 1997.

Profitability as measured by UCB's annualized return on average assets (ROA)
decreased to 1.38% for the six months ended June 30, 1998, down from 1.40% for
the same period in 1997. Another measure of the Company's profitability, the
annualized return on average equity (ROE) decreased to 9.98% for the first six
months of 1998 compared to 10.86% for the same period in 1997. UCB's ROA was
1.39% and 1.44% for the second quarters of 1998 and 1997, respectively. During
the second quarter of 1998, ROE was 10.18%, compared to 11.21% during the second
quarter of 1997.

UCB's total assets as of June 30, 1998, were $155.0 million, down slightly by
$1.0 million, or 0.6% from $156.0 million at year-end 1997. Net loans as of June
30, 1998, were $86.3 million, an increase of $4.8 million or 5.9% from $81.4
million at year-end 1997. Investment securities increased $3.6 million to $55.1
million from $51.6 million as of June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997,
respectively. Cash and cash equivalents totaled $7.8 million at June 30, 1998
and $17.2 million at December 31, 1997, a decrease of $9.4 million. Deposits
totaled $131.1 million at June 30, 1998, and $133.5 million at December 31,
1997.

UCB is not aware of any trends, future events or uncertainties that will have a
material adverse effect on the consolidated entity. Obviously, unforeseeable
changes in the local economies where UCB subsidiaries operate, which UCB is
unable to predict, may impact the overall communities and ultimately the
performance of the Company. UCB is not aware of any such changes.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the first six months of 1998 was $3.050 million, up from
$2.978 million for the same period in 1997, increasing by $72,000 or 2.4%. This
increase is attributable to the transition of assets from noninterest-earning
cash and federal funds sold to higher yielding loans. For the second quarter of
1998, net interest income was $1.555 million, up $30,000 or 2.0% from $1.525
million during the second quarter of 1997.

For the six months ended June 30, 1998, total interest and fees on loans
increased by $174,000 or 4.8% and interest on federal funds increased $148,000
or 155.8%, from the six month period ended June 30, 1997. A decrease in interest
on investments of $141,000 or 8.8% partially offset these increases. Interest
expense on deposits and short-term borrowings increased by $109,000 or 4.6% for
the same period.

Total interest and fees on loans increased by $67,000 or 3.5% and interest on
federal funds sold increased $75,000 or 312.5%, from the second quarter of 1997
to the second quarter of 1998. During this same period, interest on investments
decreased $59,000 or 7.4%, and interest expense on deposits and short-term
borrowings increased $53,000 or 4.5%.


Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses provides for potential losses inherent in the loan
portfolio. Among other factors, management considers the Company's historical
loss experience, the size and composition of the loan portfolio, the value and
adequacy of collateral and guarantors, nonperforming credits and current and
anticipated economic conditions. There are additional risks of future loan
losses which cannot be precisely quantified or attributed to particular loans or
classes of loans. Since those risks include general economic trends, as well as
conditions affecting individual borrowers, the allowance for loan losses is an
estimate. The allowance is also subject to regulatory examinations and
determination as to adequacy, which may take into account such factors as the
methodology used to calculate the allowance, and the size of the allowance in

During the first six months of 1998, the Company had $53,000 in provision
expense compared to $51,000 in the first six months of 1997. Loans charged off,
which are charged directly to the allowance when they occur, during the first
six months of 1997 amounted to $84,000 compared to $146,000 for the same period
in 1997. Recoveries during the first six months of 1998 and 1997 amounted to
$30,000 and $52,000, respectively. The ratio of net charge-offs to average
outstanding loans was 0.07% in 1998 and 0.12% in 1997. Management feels that the
reserve is adequate to absorb any losses on existing loans that may become
uncollectible. The following table presents the Company's loan loss and recovery
experience for the first six months of the past two years.

Noninterest Income

During the six month period ended June 30, 1998, total noninterest income
increased by $83,000, or 21.3% to $473,000 from a level of $390,000 for the same
period of 1997. The largest component of this increase is an increase in service
charges of $75,000 from the first six months of 1998 to the first six months of
1997. Miscellaneous noninterest income increased $14,000, the largest component
was an $18,000 increase of income from OREO. Also during the six months ended
June 30, 1998, net gains on the sale of investment securities decreased $6,000
compared to the same period in 1997.

Total noninterest income increased by $58,000, or 29.6%, from a level of
$196,000 in the second quarter of 1997 to $254,000 for the same period of 1998.
The largest component of this increase is an increase in service charges of
$41,000. During the quarter ended June 30, 1998, miscellaneous income increased
$17,000 compared to the second quarter of 1997.

Noninterest Expense

Total noninterest expenses for the six month period ended June 30, 1998,
increased $96,000 or 5.1% to $1.985 million from $1.889 million for the same
period in 1997. This increase is attributable to the following factors: 1) a
$56,000 increase in professional fees, to $111,000 in 1998 from $55,000 in 1997,
due to nonrecurring legal fees and timing differences in the payment of fees for
the year-end audits of financial statements; 2) an increase in equipment costs
of $30,000, or 23.1%, to $160,000 in 1998 from $130,000 in 1997, arising from
increases in software licensing costs and depreciation and purchase of furniture
and equipment; and 3) an increase in other miscellaneous expenses of $41,000 or
10.2%, from $403,000 during the six month period ended June 30, 1997, to 
$444,000 or the same period during 1998. These increases were partially offset
by a decrease in occupancy costs of $24,000 to $118,000 in 1998 from $142,000
in 1997.

Total noninterest expenses for the second quarter of 1998 were $1.028 million,
an increase of $54,000 or 5.5% compared to $974,000 for the same period last
year. This increase is attributable to following factors: 1) an increase in
equipment costs of $30,000, or 52.6%, to $87,000 in 1998 from $57,000 in 1997,
arising from increases in software licensing costs and depreciation and purchase
of furniture and equipment; 2) an increase in other miscellaneous expenses of
$33,000 or 14.7%, from $224,000 during the quarter ended June 30, 1997, to
$257,000 for the same period during 1998; 3) a $13,000 or 2.4% increase in
salaries and employee benefits from $544,000 in the first quarter of 1997 to
$557,000 during the same period in 1998. These increases were partially offset
by a decrease in occupancy expenses of $18,000, or 22.8%, to $61,000 in 1998
from $79,000 in 1997.


Nonperforming Assets

Total nonperforming assets decreased $134,000 or 38.3% from $350,000 at year-end
1997 to $216,000 at June 30, 1998. Loans past due 90 days or more and still
accruing interest increased $235,000 to $354,000 as of June 30, 1998, from
$119,000 at December 31, 1997. The following table summarizes nonperforming
assets and loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest as of June
30, 1998, and year end 1997.

Liquidity and Short-term Borrowings

Liquidity represents an institution's ability to meet present and future
financial obligations through either the sale of existing assets or the
acquisition of additional funds through short-term borrowings. Liquid assets
include cash, interest-bearing deposits with banks, federal funds sold and
investments and loans maturing within one year. As a result of the Company's
management of liquid assets, and the ability to generate liquidity through
liability fundings, management believes that the Company maintains overall
liquidity which is sufficient to satisfy its depositors' requirements and to
meet customers' credit needs. The Company has no long-term debt and no material
commitments for capital expenditures.

<PAGE>

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $7.8 million at June 30, 1998, and $17.2
million at December 31, 1997. At June 30, 1998, cash and due from banks, federal
funds sold and securities classified as available for sale were $54.9 million,
36.9% of total earning assets, compared to $59.0 million, 39.3% of total earning
assets at December 31, 1997. Asset liquidity is also provided by managing both
loan and securities maturities.

Additional sources of liquidity available to the Company include its subsidiary
Banks' capacity to borrow additional funds through several established federal
funds arrangements and the Federal Home Loan Bank (the "FHLB"). As of June 30,
1998, UCB had no outstanding borrowings from the FHLB. UCB could borrow
approximately $13.0 million from the FHLB, if collateral acceptable to the FHLB
were provided. In addition, federal funds arrangements with other institutions
provide an additional $15.3 million of short-term borrowing capacity. At June
30, 1998, the Company had no outstanding balances on these federal funds lines
of credit. Also, the Company offers overnight repurchase agreements to a
commercial customer, which amounted to $650,000 at June 30, 1998.


Effects of Changing Prices and Seasonality

Because of the seasonality of the agricultural industry, the volume of loans and
deposits typically fluctuate during the year. Loans are typically heaviest from
April to November and deposits are typically their lowest during the same
period. At the end of the year and the beginning of the following year, loans
decrease as they are repaid and deposits increase as a result of the sale of the
fall harvest.


Capital Adequacy

Management reviews the adequacy of the Banks' capital on an ongoing basis with
reference to the size, composition, and quality of the Banks' resources and
compliance with regulatory requirements and industry standards. Management seeks
to maintain a capital structure that will assure an adequate level of capital to
support anticipated asset growth and absorb potential losses.

The Federal Reserve, along with the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation, has adopted new capital guidelines to supplement
the existing definitions of capital for regulatory purposes and to establish
minimum capital standards. Specifically, the guidelines categorize assets and
off-balance sheet items into four risk-weighted categories. At June 30, 1998 and
December 31, 1997, the required minimum ratio of qualifying total capital to
risk-weighted assets was 8.0%, of which 4.0% must be tier-one capital. Tier-one
capital generally includes stockholders' equity, retained earnings and a limited
amount of preferred stock, less certain goodwill items. UCB's ratios
significantly exceed regulatory requirements adopted by the Federal Reserve Bank
regulatory agencies, as illustrated below.

Year 2000 Project
The Year 2000 technology problem presents risks to all corporations due to the
potential failure of date related systems. United Community Bankshares and its
subsidiaries have undertaken a variety of measures to ensure that hardware and
software systems will be century date compliant. The Banks have established
project plans, completed hardware and software inventories and developed
preliminary impact assessments. The Banks have initiated contacts with vendors
for specific project compliance confirmation.

<PAGE>


Testing of primary software applications will be conducted in conjunction with
regularly scheduled testing and is not expect to result in material additional
costs. The testing phase is expected to be completed by year-end 1998. In
addition to efforts to ensure readiness of internal systems, the Banks have
informed many retail and commercial customers of the need to address the Year
2000 issue. Based upon the results of the preliminary impact assessment and
information provided by vendors, management believes that its plan for
determining century date compliance is adequate and that the Company will not
incur significant incremental costs to achieve compliance.

Item 5.  Other Information

         On July 9, 1998, UCB announced execution of a definitive Merger
         Agreement providing for a merger of equals with Mid-Atlantic Community
         BankGroup, Inc. ("Mid-Atlantic"), Gloucester, Virginia under a new name
         of Atlantic Financial Corp. The parties previously entered into a
         Letter of Intent on May 27, 1998. At June 30, 1998, the unaudited
         combined assets of the two companies exceeded $335 million, with
         unaudited total capital of more than $41 million. The merger will be
         accounted for as a pooling of interest and is expected to be
         consummated by December 31, 1998, pending shareholder approvals,
         regulatory approvals and other customary conditions of closing. The
         agreed upon exchange rate would provide for holders of UCB stock to
         receive 1.075 shares of Mid-Atlantic's common stock for each share of
         United Community stock owned, plus cash for fractional shares. At the
         effective date of the merger, Mid-Atlantic will change its name to
         Atlantic Financial Corp. and relocate its corporate headquarters to
         Newport News, Virginia. The respective names and banking offices of the
         subsidiary banks within the two holding companies will not change as a
         result of the merger. Mid-Atlantic is the parent company of Peninsula
         Trust Bank of Gloucester, Virginia. Joseph A. Lombard, Jr., Chairman of
         the Board of Mid-Atlantic, will be Chairman of the Board of the
         combined entity. J. Russell West, Chairman of the Board of UCB, will be
         Vice Chairman of the Board of the combined entity. W.J. Farinholt,
         President and CEO of Mid-Atlantic will be President and CEO of the
         combined entity. W.O. Pearce, President and CEO of UCB will be Vice
         Chairman and COO of the combined entity. The Board of Directors of the
         combined entity will be comprised of fourteen members, including seven
         individuals from each of the current Boards of Directors of
         Mid-Atlantic and UCB.
