Item 2.    Acquisition or disposition of Assets.

Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Share Exchange,  dated October
7, 1999 and amended as of December 14, 1999,  the  registrant  acquired all of
the outstanding  shares of common stock of Bank of Southern Oregon,  an Oregon
state-chartered  bank located in Medford,  Oregon,  in a reorganization of the
Bank of  Southern  Oregon  as a  subsidiary  of the  registrant.  In a related
transaction  pursuant  to the same  Agreement  and Plan of  Merger  and  Share
Exchange,  United Bancorp, an Oregon bank holding company located in Roseburg,
Oregon,  merged with and into the  registrant,  with the registrant  being the
surviving corporation. Immediately following the merger of United Bancorp with
the  registrant  and the  reorganization  of Bank of Southern  Oregon,  United
Bancorp's wholly-owned  subsidiary bank, Douglas National Bank was merged into
Bank of Southern  Oregon,  with Bank of Southern  Oregon as the resultant bank
under the name "PremierWest Bank." All of the transactions were consummated as
of the close of business on May 8, 2000,  and  resulted in the  issuance of an
aggregate of 8,573,533 shares of PremierWest common stock.

Under the terms of the  Agreement and Plan of Merger and Share  Exchange,  the
reorganization  of Bank of  Southern  Oregon  was  accomplished  by means of a
statutory share exchange,  pursuant to which each outstanding share of Bank of
Southern  Oregon common stock was acquired by PremierWest  Bancorp in exchange
for one newly issued share of PremierWest  Bancorp's  common stock. The shares
of  PremierWest  Bancorp  common  stock held by Bank of  Southern  Oregon were
cancelled as part of the  reorganization.  As a result of the share  exchange,
PremierWest  Bancorp became the sole  shareholder of Bank of Southern  Oregon,
and shareholders of Bank of Southern Oregon became shareholders of PremierWest
Bancorp.

In the merger of United Bancorp with and into the registrant,  shareholders of
United Bancorp  received 1.971 shares of PremierWest  Bancorp common stock for
each  share of  United  Bancorp  common  stock.  United  Bancorp  shareholders
received  cash in lieu of  fractional  shares of  PremierWest  Bancorp  common
stock,  based on the  average  closing  bid and ask prices of Bank of Southern
Oregon  common  stock over a period of 5 trading  days prior to closing of the
transaction, which amounted to $5.91 per full share amount.

Shareholders  of Bank of Southern Oregon and United Bancorp who dissented from
the proposed  transaction and who properly  perfected their dissenters' rights
under  Oregon law would be  entitled  to cash in lieu of  PremierWest  Bancorp
stock. No shareholders have exercised their statutory dissenters' rights.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements

1.       Adjustments

         The unaudited pro forma combined  balance sheet reflects the issuance
         of 3,715,997 shares of PremierWest  Bancorp (holding company for Bank
         of Southern  Oregon) common stock with no par value to United Bancorp
         shareholders  using the exchange  ratio of 1.971,  in addition to the
         4,857,540   shares   outstanding   to  Bank  of   Southern   Oregon's
         shareholders.  These  shares  were  derived  by using the  respective
         companies'  outstanding  shares at March 31, 2000.  An  adjustment of
         $1,238,000  to common  stock and  capital  surplus  is  necessary  to
         reflect the difference between  PremierWest Bancorp common stock with
         no par value and United  Bancorp common stock that has a par value of
         $2.50 which will be cancelled when the  transaction  is  consummated.
         There were no other  significant  adjustments  made to the historical
         consolidated  balance  sheets  or  statements  of  income  of Bank of
         Southern  Oregon and United  Bancorp to arrive at the  unaudited  pro
         forma combined balance sheet or statements of income.

2.       Transaction Costs

         Total  costs  to  be  incurred  by  Bank  of  Southern   Oregon  (and
         PremierWest  Bancorp)  and  United  Bancorp  in  connection  with the
         transaction are estimated to be approximately $900,000.  These costs,
         relating to financial  advisor fees and legal,  accounting,  printing
         and other related expenses, will be charged against net income of the
         combined  organization  in the period the transaction is consummated.
         The  effect  of the  costs  has not been  reflected  in the Pro Forma
         Condensed Combined Financial Statements.

         to reflect the exchange ratio of 1.971.
