Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant



On May 3, 2000, E.S. Evans & Company, Lima, Ohio ("Evans"), the independent auditor for United Bancshares, Inc., was dismissed by the Company upon the recommendation and approval of the Board of Directors of United Bancshares, Inc. The reason for such dismissal is the Company's recent registration as a Securities Exchange Act of 1934 reporting company has resulted in the Company requiring an independent auditor more experienced in such matters. The reports on the financial statements for the past two years did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion nor were they qualified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. In the past two most recent fiscal years and in the subsequent intervening time periods there have been no disagreements with Evans on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure. Evans has been retained by United Bancshares, Inc. to act as the internal auditor for the Company.
