ITEM 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

On June 14, 1995, U.S.B. Holding Co., Inc. issued a press release announcing
that a tentative agreement had been reached for the sale of the deposits of
its wholly-owned subsidiary, Royal Oak Savings Bank, F.S.B. ("Royal") to
Taneytown Bank & Trust Company.  A current report on Form 8-K was filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 26, 1995.  The structure of the
transaction has since changed.  Under the revised transaction, the
stock of Royal will be sold to Monocacy Bancshares, Inc., parent company of
Taneytown Bank & Trust Company. Certain assets and liabilities of Royal,
principally the investment and loan portfolios aggregating $24 million and
$25 million, respectively, at July 31, 1995, will be excluded from the
transaction.  Substantially all deposits, approximating $40 million at
July 31, 1995, loan servicing rights and certain other assets and liabilities
will be retained by Royal, as well as cash to be deposited by U.S.B.  Holding
Co., Inc.  or its wholly-owned subsidiary, Union State Bank, to fund the
deposits and liabilities, less assets retained. The definitive agreement for
the sale of all common stock of Royal was signed on August 25, 1995. 
A copy of the press release announcing the signing of the definitive agreement
is filed as Exhibit 99 hereto.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE                        FOR RELEASE TO THE PRESS

SEPTEMBER 1, 1995

                                   Contact:  Mr. Thomas E. Hales,
                                             Chairman

                 U.S.B. HOLDING CO., INC. ANNOUNCES SALE OF ITS
                            MARYLAND SUBSIDIARY BANK



Orangeburg, NY - Mr. Thomas E. Hales, Chairman of the Board, U.S.B. Holding Co.,
Inc., parent company of the Rockland/Westchester-based Union State Bank,
announced today that an agreement was signed on August 25, 1995, to sell its
Maryland subsidiary Bank.  Subject to regulatory approvals, Royal Oak Savings
Bank, FSB, will be sold to Monocacy Bancshares, Inc., parent company of
Taneytown Bank and Trust Company, Taneytown, Maryland.  The tentative
sales price of $7.6 Million is based on the level of deposits and certain
other assets and liabilities to be sold at the date of closing.  This
transaction is expected to be completed by year-end 1995.

Royal Oak Savings Bank was formed by the merger of two former Maryland banks in
1991 by U.S.B. Holding co., Inc.  Royal Oak's offices are located in 
Randallstown and Eldersburg, MD. Royal Oak had $53 Million in assets as of July
31, 1995.

Mr. Hales commented that although the Maryland franchise had been profitable 
from the first year of its chartering, the gain resulting from its sale will 
best serve in supporting other initiatives of the Holding Company and its 
primary subsidiary, Union State Bank.
