                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                   ------------------------------------------


Note 1 -     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have
             been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-QSB
             and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes
             required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
             financial statements. The interim financial statements have been
             prepared utilizing the interim basis of reporting and, as such,
             reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management,
             necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods
             presented. The results of operations for the interim periods are
             not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

Note 2 -     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
             generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
             make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
             assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
             liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
             reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
             period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Note 3 -     Earnings per share - On December 31, 1997, United Financial Banking
             Companies, Inc. adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
             No. 128, Earnings per share (SFAS 128), which supersedes Accounting
             Principles Board Opinion No. 15. Under SFAS 128, earnings per
             common share are computed by dividing net income (loss) available
             to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common
             shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share
             reflects the potential dilution, if any, 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. There were no dilutive effects for the years
             presented. Prior period amounts have been restated, where
             appropriate, to conform to the requirements of SFAS 128.

Note 4 -     On January 1, 1998, United Financial Banking Companies, Inc.
             adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130,
             Reporting Comprehensive Income (SFAS 130). Under SFAS 130, each
             company is required to present a 'Statement of Comprehensive
             Income'. Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity
             during a period from transactions and other events and
             circumstances from non-owner sources such as foreign currency
             items, minimum pension liability adjustments and unrealized gains
             and losses on certain investments in debt and equity securities.
             The required proforma disclosure has not been presented because of
             an immaterial effect. United Financial Banking Companies, Inc. has
             one comprehensive line item, unrealized loss on investments in debt
             securities. For the first quarter ended March 31, 1998, the
             unrealized loss totaled $5,288.

Note 5 -     Forward looking statements. This discussion contains forward
             looking statements, including statements of goals, intentions and
             expectations as to future trends, plans, or results of Company
             operations and policies and regarding general economic conditions.
             These statements are based upon current and anticipated economic
             conditions, nationally and in the Company's market, interest rates
             and interest rate policy, competitive factors and other conditions
             which, by their nature, are not susceptible to accurate forecast,
             and are subject to significant uncertainty. Because of these
             uncertainties and the assumptions on which this discussion and the
             forward looking statements are based, actual future operations and
             results may differ materially from those indicated herein.

ITEM 2:   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

A.   Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 1998, as
     -------------------------------------------------------------------
     Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 1997
     -------------------------------------------------

General
- -------

     The following discussion provides an overview of the financial condition
and results of operations of United Financial Banking Companies, Inc. (UFBC) and
its subsidiaries, which is presented on a consolidated basis.  UFBC reported a
net loss of $131,659 for the three-month period ended March 31, 1998.  This
compares with a net loss of $46,092 for the same period of 1997.  Earnings
(loss) per share were ($.29) for the first three months ended March 31, 1998,
compared to ($.13) for the first three months of 1997.

     The net loss for the first three months of 1998 is a setback primarily due
to a $150,000 write-down on a real estate owned (REO) property.  During the past
year, UFBC's primary subsidiary, The Business Bank (the Bank), continued to
increase the Company's earning asset base.  At March 31, 1998, average total
earning assets increased $9,683,000 or 25.9% when compared to the first three
months of March 31, 1997 (Consolidated Average Balances table).  The increase
has favorably contributed to the Company's operating earnings.  In March 1998,
the Company began a Private Placement Offering.  The Company hopes to raise
$3,500,000 of common equity for the purpose of retiring the preferred stock -
series A and accrued dividends and to fund new growth opportunities for the
Bank.

Net Interest Income
- -------------------

     For the three-month period ended March 31, 1998, net interest income
increased $149,000 or 38.6% from $386,000 at March 31, 1997 to $535,000 at 
March 31, 1998. The increase is primarily attributable to the increased loan
volume in the Bank. As shown in the Consolidated Average Balances table, the
average total loan/lease volume increased $7,120,000 or 23.1% from $30,808,000
at March 31, 1997 to $37,928,000 at March 31, 1998. Due to the increased loan
volume, interest and fees on loans rose $207,000 or 31.6% as of the three-month
period ended March 31, 1998 when compared to the same period of 1997 which
favorably impacted net interest income.

     For the same comparable three-month period, interest income earned on
federal funds sold increased  $30,000 or 59.7% (Consolidated Statements of
Income).  The increase resulted from a change in the investment mix, such as
loans, securities or federal funds, chosen by management during the comparable
periods.  Interest earned on investment securities increased $10,000 or 28.9%.
The investment mix and increased volume of securities  (Consolidated Average
Balances table) contributed to the rise. Interest on interest-bearing deposits
decreased 51.1% due to a decreased volume of deposits placed with financial
institutions.

     Interest expense on deposits increased $97,000 or 26.9% at March 31, 1998
when compared to the three month period ended March 31, 1997.  The increase is
primarily due to an increased volume of deposits in the Bank.  At March 31,
1998, average total deposits increased $7,307,000 or 23.9% when compared to the
first quarter ended March 31, 1997.

Provision for Loan/Lease Losses
- -------------------------------

      During the first three months of 1998, the Bank funded its allowance for
loan/lease losses by charging $59,000 against earnings compared to $31,000
charged against earnings during the first three months of 1997.  During the
first three months of 1998, the parent company, UFBC, did not fund its allowance
compared to funding of $17,100 during the first three months of 1997.

                                       7

Noninterest Income
- ------------------

     Total noninterest income increased $16,000 or 33.1% for the three months
ended March 31, 1998 compared to the same period of 1997.  The increase is
primarily attributable to recognition of deferred income as the result of a loan
payoff.

Noninterest Expense
- -------------------

     Total noninterest expense increased $227,000 or 51.3% during the first
three months of 1998 when compared to the same period of 1997.  The increase is
due principally to the write-down on an REO property.

     Salaries and employee benefits increased $74,000 or 38.9% from $191,000 at
March 31, 1997 to $265,000 at March 31, 1998.  The rise is due to additional
staffing, a three percent cost of living adjustment and paid bonuses which
occurred in the first quarter of 1998.
 
     Legal expense rose $9,300 or 282.2% during the three-month period ended
March 31, 1998 when compared to the first three months of 1997.  During the
first quarter of 1998, the Bank incurred general legal fees in the normal course
of business.  In the opinion of management, there were no legal matters pending
as of March 31, 1998 which would have a material adverse effect on the Company's
financial statements.

     Expense for the Bank's FDIC insurance decreased $20,000 or 82.6% during the
three month period ended March 31, 1998 compared to the same period ended 
March 31, 1997. The decline is attributable to an improved risk rating assessed
by the FDIC.

     The provision for real estate owned (REO) losses increased $177,000 or
739.9% for the first three months of 1998 compared to the same period of 1997.
The rise is due partially to management's efforts to liquidate the Company's REO
in an expeditious manner.  Though there can be no assurance, the $188,000 of
write-downs during the first three months of 1998 will expedite the sale of
approximately $490,000 of real estate held by the Bank.  REO holding expense
decreased 14,000 or 48.2% for the first three months of 1998 when compared to
the first three months of 1997.  The Company's liquidation of one large piece of
property during 1997, which eliminated the related holding costs, explains the
decline.

Income Taxes
- ------------

     In 1993, the rate that UFBC accrued its tax benefit differed from the
statutory tax rate based on the inability of UFBC to use its losses to reduce
deferred taxes or to record a tax benefit.   At the end of 1993, all of UFBC's
accrued tax benefits were eliminated due to UFBC's inability to demonstrate
capacity for their future use.  As a result, until such time that UFBC
demonstrates a capacity for their future use, UFBC will not be able to accrue
tax benefits.  UFBC has accrued no tax benefits for the three months ended March
31, 1998.


B.   Financial Condition as of March 31, 1998
     ----------------------------------------

Assets
- ------

     Total assets grew $5,016,000 or 10.4% during the first three months of 1998
when compared to the period ended December 31, 1997.  The rise in assets is
primarily attributable to the Bank's increased volume of core deposits which
were invested in federal funds sold and investment securities.  Federal funds
sold and investment securities increased $6,507,000 or 219.6% from $5,443,000 at
December 31, 1997 to $11,950,000 at March 31, 1998.

Allowance for Loan/Lease Losses
- -------------------------------

     The allowance for loan/lease losses (allowance) represents an amount which
management believes will be adequate to absorb potential losses inherent in the
loan/lease portfolio.  The provision for loan losses represents the charge to
earnings during the year to cover potential future losses.  The amount charged
to expense during the year is dependent upon management's assessment of the
adequacy of the allowance. Principal factors in management's evaluation include
prior loss experience, changes in the composition and volume of the portfolio,
overall portfolio quality, the value of underlying collateral, reviews of
portfolio quality by state and federal supervisory authorities, specific problem
loans, and current and anticipated economic conditions that may affect a
borrower's ability to repay.

     At March 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997, the allowance was $775,000 and
$715,000, respectively, or 2.1% and 1.9% of total loans and leases.
Nonperforming loans for the three-month period ended March 31, 1998 totaled
$100,000 of which $31,000 resided in the Bank and $69,000 in the parent. This
compares to a balance of $102,000 at December 31, 1997, of which $31,000 resided
in the Bank and $71,000 resided in the parent.  The consolidated allowance for
loan/lease losses covers nonperforming loans 7.75 times at March 31, 1998,
compared to a coverage of 7.01 times at year end 1997.

Liabilities
- -----------

     Total deposits increased $5,149,000 or 11.8% during the first three months
of 1998 when compared to the year ended 1997.  During the three months ended
March 31, 1998, the deposit mix changed favorably as demand deposits and money
market accounts rose $4,449,000 or 128.9% from $15,347,000 at December 31, 1997
to $19,795,000 at March 31, 1998.  The change is part of management's continuing
plan to increase core deposits to provide a base for the Bank's growth.

Liquidity and Investment
- ------------------------

     UFBC's operational needs were significantly reduced by the cancellation of
its debt to the FDIC in 1994, staff reduction and reduced professional fees.
For the near future, management projects that proceeds received from earning
assets, the liquidation of non-Bank REO and the sale of non-Bank assets will
provide sufficient cash flow for UFBC's continuing operational needs.

     Consolidated average liquid assets were 21.8% of average total assets at
March 31, 1998 compared to 19.5% for the same period ended March 31, 1997 and
20.9% at December 31, 1997 (Consolidated Average Balances table).  The Company's
liquidity needs exist primarily in the Bank subsidiary.  To maintain adequate
liquidity, the Bank purchases certain traditional assets such as government and
other investment securities. The Bank's securities portfolio comprises U.S.
Treasury securities, U.S. Government agency securities and state and municipal
securities.  The Bank is strategically growing its securities portfolio to
ensure safe levels of liquidity, to enhance the overall credit quality of its
asset base, to generate increased interest income, to balance assets and
liabilities and to hedge interest rate risk.  The securities portfolio includes
both instruments available-for-sale and held-to-maturity.  Securities classified
as available-for-sale may be sold in response to changes in market interest
rates, changes in prepayment or extension risk, management of the federal tax
position, liquidity needs and other asset/liability management issues.
Securities classified as held-to-maturity are intended for investment purposes.

     At March 31, 1998, the Bank's investment portfolio consisted of the
following:
 
                                    Available-for-Sale          Held-to-Maturity
                                    ------------------          ----------------
U.S. Treasury                           1,099,271                    750,604
U.S. Government Agency                  1,598,098                    547,255
State and Municipal                                                  444,867

Redeemable Preferred Stock
- --------------------------

     During the first three months ended March 31, 1998, the Company accrued
$30,000 of dividends on the series A preferred stock.  Management anticipates
that the preferred stock - series A will be retired during the second quarter of
1998 from proceeds of the 1998 Private Placement Offering.  As of March 31,
1998, redemption value of the Company's preferred stock - series A, if held
until September 30, 2001, is projected to be $1,786,000.

Regulatory Agreements and Compliance
- ------------------------------------

     On May 19, 1997, the Board of Directors of the Bank submitted a resolution
to the FDIC and to the SCC. The resolution addressed various areas of operation
and includes provisions to monitor the Bank's profitability.  As of March 31,
1998, management believes that the Bank is in compliance with all terms of the
resolution.

Capital Requirements
- --------------------

     The Federal Reserve Board issued risk-based capital guidelines for bank
holding companies.  The guidelines initially defined a two-tier capital
framework.  Tier I Capital consists of common and qualifying preferred
shareholders' equity less intangible assets.  Tier II Capital consists of
mandatory convertible, subordinated and other qualifying debt, preferred stock
not qualifying as Tier I Capital and the reserve for loan losses up to 1.25
percent of risk-weighted assets.  Under these guidelines, one of four risk
weights is applied to the different on-balance sheet assets.  Off-balance sheet
items such as loan commitments are also applied a risk weight after conversion
to balance sheet equivalent amounts.  Tier I and Tier II Capital require a
minimum ratio of 4.0% and 8.0%, respectively.  The Federal Reserve issued
another guideline, a minimum Leverage ratio, which measures the ratio of Tier I
Capital to quarterly average assets less intangible assets.  A Leverage ratio of
3.0% must be maintained for highly rated banks.  Otherwise, the minimum leverage
ratio, based upon the institution's overall financial condition, must be at
least 100 to 200 basis points above the minimum.  These guidelines were also
adopted by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and therefore applies to
the Company's banking subsidiary.  Additionally, the Federal Reserve Board
requires bank holding companies to meet a minimum ratio of qualifying Total
(combined Tier I and Tier II) capital to risk-weighted assets of 8.0%, at least
half of which must be composed of core (Tier I) capital elements.  The following
table presents the Company and the Bank's capital position and related ratios as
of March 31, 1998 and 1997.
