                                 SCHEDULE 13D


     Below are my responses to the points and questions set forth in the Special
Instructions of Schedule 13D:

Item 1.  Security and Issuer

     The class of equity securities to which this statement relates is the
common stock of United Financial Banking Companies, Inc., a Virginia corporation
(the "Issuer")located at 8399 Leesburg Pike, Vienna, Virginia  22182.


Item 2.  Identity and Background

     (a) My name is Manuel V. Fernandez.

     (b) My business address is 650 Water Street, S.W., Washington, DC 20024;
and my telephone number is (202)554-1167.

     (c) My principal occupation is Hotel/Restaurant Operator.

     (d) During the last five years, I have not been convicted in a criminal
proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).

     (e) During the last five years, I have not been a party to any civil
proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction
resulting in a judgment, decree, or final order enjoining future violations of,
or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities
laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

     (f) I am a citizen of the United States.


Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

     On December 30, 1994, with my personal funds, no part of which has been
borrowed, I purchased 144,756 shares of common stock of the Issuer for $180,945
pursuant to the Issuer's Confidential Private Placement Memorandum dated August
22, 1994.

     On December 29, 1994, as a separate transaction and with my personal funds,
no part of which has been borrowed, I loaned $150,000 to the Issuer.  This loan
is evidenced by the Issuer's promissory note and matures on December 31, 1996.
As part of this loan transaction, the Issuer issued 15,000 warrants to me to
purchase 15,000 share of its common stock on the terms noted above.

CUSIP No. 910305 200                                                 Page 4 of 6


     In addition, when I made this loan, other persons made loans to the Issuer
on the same terms.  These loans (including my loan) total $700,000 were secured
by a pledge of the stock of two subsidiaries of the Issuer.


     There are 104,011 additional shares of common stock of the Issuer, which I
owned before the above-described transactions.  Withe the exception of those
shares received over the years as stock dividends, all of these shares were
purchased by me in the open market. All such shares were purchased at the then-
market price of the shares using my personal funds, no part of which was
borrowed.

     On June 30, 1995, I received approval to acquire up to 10.83% of the
outstanding shares of United Financial Banking Companies, Inc. (See letter
attached).

     On December 18, 1996, I sold in a private transaction 47,000 shares of
common stock for $70,500.

     On December 31, 1977, a one-for-five reverse split was effective.

     On June 25, 1998, I received approval to acquire up to 24.99% of the
outstanding shares of United Financial Banking Companies, Inc. (See letter
attached).

     On June 30, 1998, I purchased with personal funds, no part of which was
borrowed 11,428 shares of the common stock of the Issuer for $99,995, pursuant
to the Issuer's Confidential Private Placement Offering dated March 1, 1998.

     Also, on June 30, 1998, I exchanged preferred shares with a total
redeemable value of $291,667 for 33,333 shares of the common stock of the Issuer
pursuant to the Issuer's aforementioned Item Confidential Private Placement
Offering.

 
    Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction

     The purpose of the aforesaid transactions with the Issuer is for
investment.

     On June 25, 1998, I received approval to acquire up to 24.99% of the
outstanding shares of United Financial Banking Companies, Inc.

     I have no plan or proposal which relates to or would result in:

     (a)  an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger,
reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or its subsidiaries;

     (b) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or any
of its subsidiaries;

     (c) any change in the present Board of Directors or management of the
Issuer, including any change in the number or terms of the directors or to fill
any existing vacancies on the board;

     (d) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of
the Issuer;

     (e) any material change in the Issuer's present business or corporate
structure, recognizing that the Issuer has its own plan to turn around its
business and that of its subsidiaries;

     (f) changes the Issuer's charter, bylaws, or instruments corresponding
thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition or control of the
Issuer by any person;

     (g) causing the common stock of the Issuer to be delisted from a national
securities exchange or to cease to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system
of a registered national securities association;

     (h) a class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for
termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Act; or

     (I) any action similar to any of those enumerated above.


Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer

     (a) As of June 30, 1998, I "beneficially owned" 110,398 shares of common
stock of the Issuer (shown in row 11 of page 2 hereof), including 9,666
warrants, the 42,999 shares jointly held with my spouse, and 57,733 shares held
solely by me.

     The Issuer has advised me that, on June 30, 1998, there were 807,590 shares
of common stock of the Issuer outstanding. Treating my 9,666 warrants as issued
shares of common stock of the Issuer, then on June 30, 1998, I would be regarded
as "beneficially owning" 13.51% shares of the common stock of the Issuer,
110,398 divided by 817,256.

     (b) Of the 110,398 shares "beneficially owned" by me mentioned above, I had
sole voting power and sole power to dispose of 67,399 shares and I had shared
power to vote and dispose of 42,999

additional shares held jointly with my spouse.

     (c) The transactions subject to this report and herein reported related to
the common shares of the Issuer during the past 60 days are discussed in Item 3
hereof.

     (d) No person is known by me to have the right to receive or direct the
receipt of dividends from, or proceeds from the sale of, the common stock of the
Issuer.

     (e) This report does not relate to a reporting person ceasing to the
beneficial owner of more than five percent of the common stock of the Issuer.


Item 6.  Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships
       with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

     I have no contracts, arrangements, understandings, or relationships with
respect to the common stock of the Issuer, except for the terms of the above-
mentioned Confidential Private Placement Memorandum under which the Issuer
offered shares of its common stock to investors.

     I have no written agreements to be filed as exhibits relating to joint
acquisition statements or written agreements, contracts, arrangements,
understandings, plans, or proposals relating to    (1) the borrowing of funds to
finance the acquisition of the equity securities disclosed in Item 3, (2) the
acquisition of issuer control, liquidation, sale of assets, merger, or change in
business or corporate structure or any other matter as disclosed in Item 4, or
(3) the transfer or voting of securities, finder's fees, joint ventures,
options, puts, calls, guarantees of loans, guarantees against loss or of profit,
or giving or withholding of any proxy as disclosed in Item 6.
