                     DESCRIPTION OF UNITED BANKSHARES, INC.


Organizational History and Subsidiaries
- ---------------------------------------

    United Bankshares, Inc. ("United") is a West Virginia corporation registered
as a bank holding company pursuant to the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as
amended.  United was incorporated on March 26, 1982 and organized on September
9, 1982.  United began conducting business on May 1, 1984 with the acquisition
of three wholly-owned subsidiaries.  On October 1, 1985, these three
subsidiaries were merged and on November 1, 1985, were renamed United National
Bank ("UNB").

    Since that time UNB has acquired through merger or consolidation the
following banks:  Heritage Bancorp, Inc. (a holding company); First National
Bank of Ripley; Kanawha Banking and Trust Company; Ohio Valley National Bank;
Elk National Bank; Montgomery National Bank, the sole subsidiary of Liberty
Bancshares Inc., a bank holding company; First Bank of Ceredo, the bank
subsidiary of Financial Future Corporation, a bank holding company; CB&T
Westover Bank; the Star City Branch of Community Bank & Trust, N. A.; and First
Empire Federal Savings & Loan Association, the sole subsidiary of Eagle Bancorp,
Inc., a bank holding company.

    On June 30, 1996 United formed United Mortgage Company, Inc., a wholly-owned
subsidiary of UNB, with its wholly-owned subsidiaries United Mortgage Center,
Inc. and United Home Lending Services, Inc.  The business of United Mortgage
Company, Inc. and its subsidiaries is the origination of residential real estate
loans for resale, the conducting of mortgage loan servicing activities for
certain loans, and generally the activities commonly conducted by a mortgage
banking company.

    On September 1, 1993, UBC Holding Company, ("UBC"), a United subsidiary, was
formed to effect the Financial Future Corporation transaction.  UBC is a second
tier holding company with UNB currently being its only subsidiary.

    On August 9, 1990, United acquired BankFirst Corporation ("BankFirst"), a
one bank holding company based in McLean, Virginia. BankFirst was merged with
UBF Holding Company, Inc. ("UBF"), a United subsidiary formed to effect this
acquisition.  UBF acquired Bank First, N.A. ("Bank First"), the subsidiary of
BankFirst.

    On October 11, 1995, United formed Commercial Interim Bank, Inc. ("Interim
Bank"), a state member bank located in Arlington, Virginia, to facilitate the
acquisition of First Commercial Bank of Arlington, Virginia ("FCB").  United
then merged Bank First into Interim Bank from its wholly owned subsidiary, UBF.
Concurrent with the merger of Bank First into Interim Bank, UBF was merged into
United.  United acquired FCB on October 31, 1995 and merged it into Interim
Bank.  United then effected a name change of Interim Bank to First Commercial
Bank.  On March 18, 1996 First Commercial Bank's name was changed to United
Bank.

                                       5

    United National Bank-South ("UNB-S"), was formed on November 1, 1992, as a
part of United's acquisition of Summit Holding Corporation and its lead bank,
Raleigh County National Bank.  On January 27, 1996, UNB-S was merged into and
became a part of UNB.  Offices of UNB-S became branch offices of UNB.

    In December 1996, United Brokerage Services, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary
of UNB began operations.  United Brokerage Services, Inc. is a fully-disclosed
broker/dealer and is a registered Investment Advisor with the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. and the Securities and Exchange
Commission and a member of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation.
United Brokerage Services, Inc. offers a wide range of investment products as
well as comprehensive financial planning and asset management services to the
general public.

    In late 1988, United chartered and capitalized United Venture Fund, Inc., a
West Virginia corporation which has qualified as a Capital Company under the
West Virginia Capital Company Act.  This subsidiary makes loans and limited
equity investments, consistent with the Bank Holding Company Act, that will
result in or contribute to new jobs and/or industry in West Virginia.

Employees
- ---------

    As of December 31, 1996 United and its subsidiaries had approximately 893
full-time equivalent employees and officers.  None of these employees is
represented by a collective bargaining unit, and management considers employee
relations to be excellent.

Business of United
- ------------------

    As a bank holding company registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of
1956, as amended, United's present business is the operation of its bank
subsidiaries.  As of December 31, 1996, United's consolidated assets
approximated $2,326,877,000 and total shareholders' equity approximated
$258,514,000.

    United is permitted to acquire other banks and bank holding companies, as
well as thrift institutions.  United is also permitted to engage in certain non-
banking activities which are closely related to banking under the provisions of
the Bank Holding Company Act and the Federal Reserve Board's Regulation Y.
Management continues to consider such opportunities as they arise, and in this
regard, management from time to time makes inquiries, proposals, offers or
expressions of interest as to potential opportunities; although no agreements or
understandings to acquire other banks or bank holding companies or nonbanking
subsidiaries or to engage in other nonbanking activities, other than those
identified herein, presently exist.

Business of Subsidiary Banks
- ----------------------------

    All of United's subsidiary banks are full-service commercial banks and, as
such, engage in most types of business permitted by law and regulation.
Included among the banking services offered are the acceptance of deposits in
checking, savings, time and money market accounts; the making and servicing of
personal, commercial, floor plan and student loans; and the making of
construction and real estate loans. Also offered are individual retirement
accounts, safe deposit boxes, wire transfers and other standard banking products
and services.  As a part of their lending function, UNB and United Bank offer
credit card services including accounts issued under the name of certain
correspondent banks.

    UNB also maintains a trust department which acts as trustee under wills,
trust and pension and profit sharing plans, as executors and administrators of
estates, and as guardians for estates of minors and incompetents, and in
addition performs a variety of investment and security services.  UNB trust
services are available to customers of affiliate banks.  UNB provides services
to its correspondent banks such as check clearing, safekeeping and the buying
and selling of federal funds.

                                       7
<PAGE>
 
    UNB is member of a regional network of automated teller machines known as
the MAC ATM network while United Bank participates in the MOST network.  Through
MAC and MOST, all of United's subsidiary banks are participants in a network
known as Cirrus which provides banking on a nationwide basis.

Lending Activities
- ------------------

    United's total loan portfolio, net of unearned income, increased
$114,619,000, or 6.6%, to $1,847,605,000, in 1996 and is comprised of
commercial, real estate and consumer loans including credit card and home equity
loans.  Commercial and real estate loans increased $29,962,000 or 13.7% and
$92,307,000 or 7.2%, respectively, while consumer loans, net of unearned income,
increased $2,350,000 or 1.1%.

Commercial Loans
- ----------------

    The commercial loan portfolio consists of loans to corporate borrowers in
small to mid-size industrial and commercial companies, as well as automobile
dealers, service, retail and wholesale merchants. Coal mining companies make up
an insignificant portion of loans in the portfolio. Collateral securing these
loans includes equipment, machinery, inventory, receivables, vehicles and
commercial real estate. Commercial loans are considered to contain a higher
level of risk than other loan types although care is taken to minimize these
risks. Numerous risk factors impact this portfolio including industry specific
risks such as economy, new technology, labor rates and cyclicality, as well as
customer specific factors, such as cash flow, financial structure, operating
controls and asset quality.  United diversifies risk within this portfolio by
closely monitoring industry concentrations and portfolios to ensure that it does
not exceed established lending guidelines.  Diversification is intended to limit
the risk of loss from any single unexpected economic event or trend.
Underwriting standards require a comprehensive review and independent evaluation
of virtually all larger balance commercial loans by the loan committee prior to
approval with ongoing updates of the loan portfolio.

Real Estate Loans
- -----------------

    Commercial real estate loans consist of commercial mortgages, which
generally are secured by nonresidential and multi-family residential properties.
Also included in this portfolio are loans that are secured by owner-occupied
real estate, but made for purposes other than the construction or purchase of
real estate.  Commercial real estate loans carry many of the same customers and
industry risks as the commercial loan portfolio.  Real estate mortgage loans to
consumers are secured primarily by a first lien deed of trust.  These loans are
traditional one-to-four family residential mortgages.  The loans generally do
not exceed an 80% loan to value ratio at the loan origination date and most are
at a variable rate of interest.  These loans are considered to contain normal
risk.

                                       8
<PAGE>
 
Consumer Loans
- --------------

    Consumer loans are secured by automobiles, boats, recreational vehicles, and
other personal property.  Personal loans, home equity, student loans and
unsecured credit card receivables are also included as consumer loans.  United
monitors the risk associated with these types of loans by monitoring such
factors as portfolio growth, lending policies and economic conditions.
Underwriting standards are continually evaluated and modified based upon these
factors.

Underwriting Standards
- ----------------------

    United's loan underwriting guidelines and standards are updated periodically
and are presented for approval by each of the respective Boards of Directors of
its subsidiary banks. The purpose of the standards and guidelines is to grant
loans on a sound and collectible basis; to invest available funds in a safe,
profitable manner; to serve the legitimate credit needs of the communities of
United's primary market area; and ensure that all loan applicants receive fair
and equal treatment in the lending process. It is the intent of the underwriting
guidelines and standards to: minimize loan losses by carefully investigating the
credit history of each applicant, verify the source of repayment and the ability
of the applicant to repay, collateralize those loans in which collateral is
deemed to be required, exercise care in the documentation of the application,
review, approval, and origination process, and administer a comprehensive loan
collection program. The above guidelines are adhered to and subject to the
experience, background and personal judgment of the loan officer assigned to the
loan application. A loan officer may grant and justify a loan with slight
variances from the underwriting guidelines and standards. However, the loan
officer may not exceed their respective lending authority without obtaining the
prior, proper approval from a superior, a regional supervisor, or the Loan
Committee, whichever is deemed appropriate for the nature of the variance.

Loan Origination and Processing
- -------------------------------

    United generally originates loans within the primary market area of its
banking subsidiaries.  United may from time to time make loans to borrowers
and/or on properties outside of its primary market area as an accommodation to
its customers.  Processing of all loans is centralized in the Charleston, West
Virginia office.  United with the formation of United Home Lending Service, Inc.
has entered the mortgage banking business.  As of December 31, 1996, the balance
of  mortgage loans being serviced by United for others was $137,057,000.

Secondary Markets
- -----------------

    Historically, United had not been in the business of selling or purchasing
loans and had not originated loans with the intent to sell them in the secondary
market.  During 1996, with the acquisition of

                                       9
<PAGE>
 
Eagle Bancorp, Inc. and the formation of United Mortgage Company, Inc., During
1996, United originated $26,157,000 of real estate loans for sale in the
secondary market, designated $38,611,000 of existing real estate loans as held
for sale, and sold $63,631,000 of loans designated as held for sale in the
secondary market.

The principal sources of revenue from United's mortgage banking business are:
(i) loan origination fees; (ii) gains or losses from the sale of loans, if any;
(iii) interest earned on mortgage loans during the period that they are held by
United pending sale; (iv) loan servicing fees; and (v) gain or loss on the close
out of the hedge instrument used to offset the risk that changes in interest
rate may have on the value of United's mortgage loan inventory.

Investment Activities
- ---------------------

    United's investment policy stresses the management of the investment
securities portfolio, which includes both securities held to maturity and
securities available for sale, to maximize return over the long-term in a manner
that is consistent with good banking practices and relative safety of principal.
United currently does not engage in trading account activity.  The
Asset/Liability Committee of United is responsible for the coordination and
evaluation of the investment portfolio.

    Sources of funds for investment activities include "core deposits". Core
deposits include certain demand deposits, statement and special savings and NOW
accounts.  These deposits are relatively stable and they are the lowest cost
source of funds available to United.  Short-term borrowings have also been a
significant source of funds.  These include federal funds purchased and
securities sold under agreements to repurchase and FHLB borrowings.  Repurchase
agreements represent funds which are generally obtained as the result of a
competitive bidding process.

    United's investment portfolio remains comprised largely of U.S. Treasury
securities and obligations of U.S. Agencies and Corporations. Obligations of
States and Political Subdivisions are comprised of municipal securities with an
average quality of not less than an "A" rating.

    During 1996, United realized net losses of $98,000 from sales in the
securities available for sale portfolio.  The sales of these securities occurred
as United adjusted the securities available for sale portfolio, including those
acquired in the Eagle Bancorp, Inc. merger, in order to increase interest income
without extending the duration of the portfolio.  The proceeds from these sales
were reinvested in similar securities yielding a higher rate of return.  There
were no securities sales in 1995.

    Additionally, United has used an off-balance-sheet instrument known as an
interest rate swap, to further aid in interest rate risk

                                       10
<PAGE>
 
management.  The use of the interest rate swap is a cost effective means of
synthetically altering the repricing structure of certain balance sheet items.
The interest rate swap transaction involves the exchange of a floating interest
rate payment based on the one month London inter-bank offered rate (LIBOR) for a
fixed rate receipt based on the  U. S. three year Treasury note. The net pay and
receive amount is calculated on an underlying notional amount without the
exchange of the underlying principal amount.  The interest rate swap subjects
United to market risk associated with changes in interest rates, as well as the
risk that the counterparty will fail to perform.  Performance risk is considered
nominal by virtue of the caliber of the parties involved.  Only the interest
payments are exchanged, and therefor, cash requirements and exposure to credit
risk are significantly less than the notional amount.

    The interest rate swap was entered into early in 1994 in response to
tactical asset/liability management considerations; specifically, in response to
declining market interest rates during 1993 and United's net interest margin
being compressed due to the asset sensitivity position of the balance sheet.
The interest rate swap was to adjust the asset sensitivity to within United's
policy of +10% or -10% of earning assets. The interest rate swap was entered
into specifically to hedge prime rate indexed loans and swap a variable rate for
a fixed rate.

    At December 31, 1996, the total notional amount of the interest rate swap in
effect was only $50 million.  The swap matured in February 1997.  During 1996,
the interest rate swap reduced net interest income by $526,000.  This impact was
offset by higher net interest revenue generated by the on-balance sheet
instruments hedged by the interest rate swap and produced a higher rate of
return and net interest margin. United did not have interest rate swaps prior to
1994.  For further details, see Interest Rate Sensitivity and the related
Interest Rate Sensitivity Gap in Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Note J to the Consolidated
Financial Statements.

    Additionally, United enters into hedging transactions to offset the risk
that a change in interest rates will result in a decrease in the value of
United's current mortgage loan inventory or its commitments to originate
mortgage loans (the "pipeline").  The pipeline is analyzed on a loan-by-loan
basis to estimate the exposure to loss based on the market price, commitment
price and time to expiration.  The risk of loss is then matched with the
appropriate hedge vehicle.  United primarily utilizes forward contracts for the
delivery of mortgage-backed securities as hedge vehicles.  United's policies
generally require that it hedge substantially all of its inventory of conforming
and government loans and the maximum portion of its pipeline that may close.
The mortgage-backed securities that are to be delivered under these contracts
are fixed or adjustable-rate, corresponding with the composition of United's
inventory and pipeline.  The correlation between the price performance of the
hedge vehicles and the inventory being hedged is very high due to the similarity
of the asset and the related hedge vehicle.  At December 31, 1996, United had
open commitments

                                       11
<PAGE>
 
amounting to approximately $6,000,000 to sell mortgage-backed securities with
varying settlement dates generally not extending beyond March 1997. As such,
United is not exposed to significant risk nor will it derive any significant
benefit from changes in interest rates on the price of the mortgage loan
inventory, net of gains or losses of associated hedge positions.

    During 1996, UNB chartered two operating subsidiaries, United Brokerage
Services, Inc. and United Mortgage Company, Inc.

    United Mortgage Company, Inc. was formed in connection with the merger of
Eagle Bancorp, Inc. ("Eagle") with and into United and the related merger of
First Empire Federal Savings and Loan Association ("First Empire") with and into
UNB.  In accordance with the merger agreement, UNB requested and received
regulatory approval to form and operate United Mortgage Company, Inc.  The
business of United Mortgage Company, Inc. will be the origination and
acquisition of residential real estate loans for resale, the conducting of
mortgage loan servicing activities for certain loans, and generally the
activities commonly conducted by a mortgage banking company.

Competition
- -----------

    United faces a high degree of competition in nearly all of the markets it
serves.  These markets may generally be defined as Wood, Kanawha, Monongalia,
Jackson, Cabell, Hancock, Ohio, Marshall, Gilmer, Lewis, Webster, Boone, Logan,
Nicholas, Fayette and Raleigh Counties in West Virginia; Lawrence, Belmont,
Jefferson and Washington Counties in Ohio; and Arlington and Fairfax Counties in
Virginia, located adjacent to the Washington D.C. area, which is in close
proximity to West Virginia's eastern panhandle.  United competes in Ohio markets
because of the close proximity to the Ohio border of certain subsidiary offices.
Included in United's markets are the Parkersburg Metropolitan Statistical Area
(MSA), the Charleston MSA, the Huntington MSA, the Wheeling MSA and the Weirton
MSA.  These represent the five largest West Virginia MSA's.  United considers
the above counties and MSA's to be the primary market area for the business of
its banking subsidiaries.

    West Virginia banks are permitted unlimited branch banking throughout the
state.  In addition, interstate acquisitions of and by West Virginia banks and
bank holding companies are permissible on a reciprocal basis.  West Virginia
also allows reciprocal interstate acquisitions by thrift institutions.  These
conditions serve to intensify competition within United's market.

                                       12

    As of December 31, 1996, there were 14 multi-bank holding companies and 37
one-bank holding companies in the State of West Virginia registered with the
Federal Reserve System.  United presently ranks fourth among these bank holding
companies and second among holding companies headquartered in West Virginia
based on both asset and deposit size.  These holding companies are headquartered
in various West Virginia cities and control banks throughout the state, which
compete for business as well as for the acquisition of additional banks.

Economic Characteristics of Primary Market Area
- -----------------------------------------------

    Although the market area of the banking subsidiaries encompass a portion of
the coal fields located in southern West Virginia, an area of the state which
has been economically depressed, the coal related loans in the loan portfolio of
the banking subsidiaries constitute less than 2% of United's total loans
outstanding.  The state of West Virginia has a more diversified economy than it
had during the peak periods of coal production with the chemical manufacturing
industry accounting for 19% of the entire manufacturing workforce and 33% of the
manufacturing wages, according to West Virginia state records.  This diversified
economy has contributed to the positive trends in the personal income and
unemployment rates in recent years as personal income has increased from $14,315
in 1991 to $18,672 in mid-1996 and the state's overall unemployment rate has
declined from 10.5% in 1991 to 6.5% in July 1996 -the lowest unemployment rate
in nearly 20 years, according to available information from the West Virginia
Bureau of Employment Programs.

    Eleven of the 16 counties within United's primary West Virginia market area
rank among the state's top twenty counties in terms of personal income and low
unemployment rates.  United generally serves the stronger economic areas of the
state while maintaining a satisfactory CRA rating.

Regulation and Supervision
- --------------------------

    United, as a bank holding company, is subject to the restrictions of the
Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and is registered pursuant to its
provisions.  As such, United is subject to the reporting requirements of and
examination by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System ("Board of
Governors").

    The Bank Holding Company Act prohibits the acquisition by a bank holding
company of direct or indirect ownership of more than five percent of the voting
shares of any bank within the United States without prior approval of the Board
of Governors.  With certain exceptions, a bank holding company also is
prohibited from acquiring direct or indirect ownership or control of more than
five percent of the voting shares of any company which is not a bank, and from
engaging directly or indirectly in business unrelated to the business of
banking, or managing or controlling banks.

                                       13
<PAGE>
 
    The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, in its Regulation Y,
permits bank holding companies to engage in non-banking activities closely
related to banking or managing or controlling banks. Approval of the Board of
Governors is necessary to engage in these activities or to make acquisitions of
corporations engaging in these activities.  In addition, on a case by case
basis, the Board of Governors may approve other non-banking activities.

    As a bank holding company doing business in West Virginia, United is also
subject to regulation and examination by the West Virginia Board of Banking and
Financial Institutions (the "West Virginia Banking Board") and must submit
annual reports to the department.  Further, any acquisition application which
United must submit to the Board of Governors must also be submitted to the West
Virginia Banking Board for approval.

    United is also registered under and is subject to the requirements of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

    UNB, as national banking associations, is subject to supervision,
examination and regulation by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.
UNB is also a member of the Federal Reserve System, and as such, is subject to
applicable provisions of the Federal Reserve Act and regulations issued
thereunder.

    United Bank, as a Virginia state member bank, is subject to supervision,
examination and regulation by the Federal Reserve System, and as such, is
subject to applicable provisions of the Federal Reserve Act and regulations
issued thereunder.  United Bank is subject to regulation by the Virginia
Corporation Commission's Bureau of Financial Institutions.

    The deposits of United's wholly-owned banking subsidiaries are insured by
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") to the extent provided by
law.  Accordingly, these banks are also subject to regulation by the FDIC.

Stock
- -----

    As of December 31, 1996, 20,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $2.50
per share, were authorized for United, of which 15,295,130 were issued,
including 205,495 shares held as treasury shares. The outstanding shares are
held by approximately 5,217 shareholders of record as of December 31, 1996. The
unissued portion of United's authorized common stock (subject to registration
approval by the SEC) and the treasury shares are available for issuance as the
Board of Directors determines advisable. United offers its shareholders the
opportunity to invest dividends in shares of United stock through its dividend
reinvestment plan. United has also established stock option plans and a stock
bonus plan as incentive for certain eligible officers. While there are no
present plans, understandings, arrangements or agreements, except for the above
incentive plans, additional shares could be issued for the purpose of raising
capital, in connection with acquisitions of other businesses, or for other
appropriate purposes.

    The Board of Directors believes that the availability of authorized but
unissued common stock of United is of considerable value if opportunities should
arise for the acquisition of another business through the issuance of United's
stock.  Shareholders do not have preemptive rights, which allows United to issue
additional authorized shares without first offering them to current
shareholders.

    United has only one class of stock and all voting rights are vested in the
holders of United's stock.  On all matters subject to a vote of shareholders,
the shareholders of United will be entitled to one vote for each share of common
stock owned.  Shareholders of United have cumulative voting rights with regard
to election of directors.  At the present time, no senior securities of United
are outstanding, nor does the Board of Directors presently contemplate issuing
senior securities.

    There are no preemptive or conversion rights or, redemption or sinking fund
provisions with respect to United's Stock.  All of the issued and outstanding
shares of United's stock are fully paid and non-assessable.

Dividends
- ---------

    The shareholders of United are entitled to receive dividends when and as
declared by its Board of Directors. Dividends are paid quarterly. Dividends were
$1.24 per share in 1996, $1.17 per share in 1995 and $1.06 per share in 1994.
Dividends are paid from funds legally available; therefore, the payment of
dividends is subject to the restrictions set forth in the West Virginia
Corporation Act. See "Market and Stock Prices of United" for quarterly dividend
information.

                                       17
<PAGE>
 
Payment of Dividends by United is dependent upon payment of dividends to it by
its subsidiary banks.  The ability of national banks to pay dividends is subject
to certain limitations imposed by the national banking laws.  Generally, the
most restrictive provision requires approval by the Office of the Comptroller of
the Currency ("OCC") if dividends declared in any year exceed the year's net
income, as defined, plus the retained net profits of the two preceding years.
Payment of dividends by United's state member bank is regulated by the Federal
Reserve System and generally, the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board
("FRB") is required if the total dividends declared by a state member bank in
any calendar year exceeds its net profits, as defined, for that year combined
with its retained net profits for the preceding two years.  Additionally, prior
approval of both the OCC and the FRB is required when a national bank or state
member bank has deficit retained earnings but has sufficient current year's net
income, as defined, plus the retained net profits of the two preceding years.
The OCC and FRB may prohibit dividends if it deems the payment to be an unsafe
or unsound banking practice.  The OCC has issued guidelines for dividend
payments by national banks, emphasizing that proper dividend size depends on the
bank's earnings and capital while the FRB has issued similar guidelines
pertaining to state member banks.  See Note M - Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements, which is incorporated herein by reference.

RISK ELEMENTS

Nonperforming Loans

Nonperforming loans include loans on which no interest is currently being
accrued, loans which are past due  90 days or more as to principal or interest
payments, and loans for which the terms have been modified due to a
deterioration in the financial position of the borrower. Management is not aware
of any other significant loans,  groups of loans, or segments of the loan
portfolio not included below where there are serious doubts as to the ability
of the borrowers to comply with the present loan repayment terms. The following
table summarizes nonperforming loans for the indicated periods.

Loans are designated as nonaccrual when, in the opinion of management, the
collection of principal or interest is doubtful.  This generally occurs when a
loan becomes 90 days past due as to principal or interest unless the loan is
both well secured and in the process of collection. When interest accruals are
discontinued, unpaid interest credited to income in the current year is
reversed, and unpaid interest accrued in prior years is charged to the allowance
for loan losses.  See Note D to the consolidated financial statements for
additional information regarding nonperforming loans and credit risk
concentration.

</TABLE>

The fair value of mortgage-backed securities is affected by changes in interest
rates and prepayment risk.  When interest rates decline, prepayment speeds
generally accelerate due to homeowners refinancing their mortgages at lower
interest rates.  This may result in the proceeds being reinvested at lower
interest rates.  Rising interest rates may decrease the assumed prepayment
speed.  Slower prepayment  speeds may extend the maturity of the security beyond
its assumed prepayment speed.  Therefore, investors may not be able to invest at
current higher market rates due to the extended expected maturity of the
security.  United had a net unrealized loss of $977,000 on all mortgage-backed
securities at December 31, 1996, as compared to a net unrealized loss of
$158,000 at December 31, 1995.  This decrease in value from 1995 to 1996 is
consistent with the increase in interest rates during 1996.


The following table sets forth the maturities of all securities at December 31,
1996, and the weighted average yields of such securities (calculated on the
basis of the cost and the effective yields weighted for the scheduled maturity
of each security).

(1) The amount charged to operations and the related balance in the allowance
    for possible loan losses is based upon periodic evaluations of the loan
    portfolio by management. These evaluations consider several factors
    including, but not limited to, general economic conditions, loan portfolio
    composition, prior loan loss experience and management's estimation of
    future potential losses.

    Quarterly reviews of individual loans as well as the loan portfolio as a
    whole are made by management and the credit department. Management performs
    extensive procedures in granting and monitoring loans on a continual basis.
    Further, management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate
    to absorb anticipated losses.

       -------------------------------------------                         
   resubmit all transactions rejected by the Software and Client shall be

   which result from rejected transactions and/or erroneous control totals.

   each service. "Reasonable care" includes, but is not limited to scheduling

4. ON-LINE SERVICES
   ----------------

   4.1 Description and Availability of Services. ALLTEL Mortgage agrees to
       -----------------------------------------                          
   provide to Client on-line access to information contained in Client's
   mortgage master, history, and certain utility files from terminals located in
   Client's office(s). The Documentation lists the inquiry displays and the
   primary data entry menus to be provided by ALLTEL Mortgage. The on-line
   systems access Client's files through the CICS tele-communication facility.
   The data entered by Client is verified using logic tests. Errors found in the
   data are immediately displayed to Client for correction. These on-line
   services shall be available at the times specified in Addendum I Schedule A
   attached to this Agreement. ALLTEL Mortgage shall put forth its best efforts
   to maximize the availability of the on-line systems during the times
   specified in Schedule A; provided, however, reasonable periods of system
   outages shall not be construed as a default of this Agreement. Data accepted
   by the on-line system generates transactions which are stored on ALLTEL
   Mortgage's host computer. This transaction file serves as an input file for
   the Client's update processing run. The on-line system includes on-line or
   printed documentation for every screen in the System. Instructions for
   operating the Software and for entering transactions are included therein.

   4.2 Error Correction. ALLTEL Mortgage shall use its best efforts to minimize
       -----------------                                                       
   rejects due to program logic errors. The on-line systems also contain an on-
   line interrogation feature. Client realizes that ALLTEL Mortgage will have w
   control over conflicts affecting the same loan number within the same
   processing cycle or correction and resubmission of all transactions
   originally entered through the on-line system and rejected by the system.
   Client shall be responsible for reconciling and adjusting any differences in
   control totals which result from rejected transactions and/or erroneous
   totals.

   -----------------------------------------

   5.1 Transmission Service. Client will pay all costs for
       ---------------------                              
   installation/deinstallation and for the data transmission service between
   Client's office and ALLTEL Mortgage's site. ALLTEL Mortgage shall specify and
   order the type of transmission service required and will bill Client for
   those transmission services in accordance with the fees set forth on Addendum
   E to this Agreement. In the event Client relocates its service center, Client
   shall be responsible for the cost of deinstalling at Client's old site and
   for reinstallation of such transmission service at Client's new site. Should
   Client desire to terminate the data transmission service, Client shall give
   ALLTEL Mortgage not less than ninety (90) days written notice. Client shall
   be responsible for any deconversion costs of such transmission service at the
   time of termination of such service.

   5.2 Communication Devices. The communication devices, satellite or
       ----------------------                                        
   terrestrial, shall be specified and ordered by ALLTEL Mortgage. Such devices
   will be leased in ALLTEL Mortgage's name or owned by ALLTEL Mortgage. ALLTEL
   Mortgage, in turn, will bill Client for such devices located in Client's
   office(s). Should Client desire to terminate the devices, Client shall give
   ALLTEL Mortgage not less than ninety (90) days notice.

   5.3 Terminal and Printing Equipment. ALLTEL Mortgage will specify the type of
       -------------------------------- 
   terminal equipment to be used by Client. Client may use its most cost
   effective or efficient method for acquiring the equipment specified by ALLTEL
   Mortgage. ALLTEL Mortgage, as an OEM dealer, may sell or lease the terminal
   equipment to Client. In such case, ALLTEL Mortgage and Client will execute
   ALLTEL Mortgage's "Master Agreement for Hardware Purchase" or ALLTEL
   Mortgage's "Equipment Lease Agreement", whichever applies.

   5.4 Transmission Problems.    ALLTEL Mortgage shall use its best efforts in
       ----------------------                                                 
   isolating data transmission problems and obtaining service from the terminal
   hardware vendors and/or communication carriers. In situations where data
   transmission is rendered impossible by virtue of equipment failure at ALLTEL
   Mortgage's site, ALLTEL Mortgage agrees to print such data and ship to Client
   at the expense of ALLTEL Mortgage. In the event of inability to transmit
   because of the communication carrier, the cost to print and ship will be
   borne equally by ALLTEL Mortgage and Client. In the event of equipment
   failure at Client site, Client pays all printing and shipping costs.

   5.5 Shipment of Output. Client may elect to have input/output functions
       ------------------                                                 
   performed at ALLTEL Mortgage and to have the output shipped to Client by
   ALLTEL Mortgage. The cost of such functions including postage and/or freight
   incurred to ship output media to Client are billable to Client at ALLTEL
   Mortgage's standard rates for Optional Processing and Support Services as
   shown in Addendum II.
                                                                               2

UNITED BANKSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis presents the significant changes in
financial condition and the results of operations of United and its subsidiaries
for the periods indicated below.  This discussion and the consolidated financial
statements and the notes to consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of United Bankshares, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and
reflect the merger of Eagle Bancorp, Inc. (Eagle) on April 12, 1996, under the
pooling of interests method of accounting.  Accordingly, all prior period
financial statements have been restated to include Eagle.  United exchanged 1.15
shares of its common stock for each of the 2,729,377 common shares of Eagle or
3,138,704 shares.  This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction
with the audited financial statements and accompanying notes thereto, which are
included elsewhere in this document.  All references to United in this
discussion and analysis are considered to refer to United and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries, unless otherwise indicated.

1996 COMPARED TO 1995

The following Earnings Summary is a broad overview of the financial condition
and results of operations and is not intended to replace the more detailed
discussion which is presented under the specific headings below.

EARNINGS SUMMARY

For the year ended December 31, 1996, net income decreased 7.0% to $30,512,000.
Net income per share of $2.00 for the year decreased 8.3% from $2.18 in 1995.
Dividends per share increased 6.0% from $1.17 in 1995 to a record level of $1.24
per share in 1996.  This was the twenty-third consecutive year of dividend
increases to shareholders.

During 1996, United recorded approximately $6,845,000 of merger-related one-time
special charges associated with the Eagle merger.  The merger-related and one-
time charges that reduced United's 1996 earnings in the first, second and third
quarters, were planned forward-looking moves to give United a broader and
stronger foundation for the future. These charges included, among other items,
severance pay and benefits for displaced Eagle officers and employees, costs to
consolidate duplicate facilities, employee training, new product promotions,
computer conversions and additional deposit insurance as a result of the Savings
Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF") recapitalization legislation.

Despite these significant one-time expenses, United's return on average assets
of 1.35% compared very favorably with regional and national peer grouping
information provided by Wheat, First Securities, Inc. of 1.19% and 1.18%.
United's return on average shareholders' equity of 11.98%,

                                       79
<PAGE>
 
as compared with regional and national peer group information of 15.56% and
15.14%, is indicative of United's very strong capital levels. United, one of the
nation's most profitable regional banking companies, has a strong capital
position, and is well positioned to take advantage of future growth
opportunities.

The following discussion explains in more detail the results of operations and
changes in financial condition by major category.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income represents the primary component of United's earnings.  It
is the difference between interest and fee income related to earning assets and
interest expense incurred to fund these earning assets.  Net interest income is
impacted by changes in the volume and mix of interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities, as well as changes in market interest rates.  Such
changes, and their impact on net interest income in 1996, are summarized below.

For the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, net interest income approximated
$99,173,000 and $95,648,000, respectively.  On a tax-equivalent basis the net
interest margin was strong at 4.85% in 1996 and 4.90% in 1995.

Total interest income of $172,358,000 increased 4.0% in 1996 over 1995 as a
result of higher volumes of interest-earning assets.  Higher average loan
volumes of approximately $113 million, resulting primarily from an acquisition,
contributed to the increase.  From December 31, 1995 to December 31, 1996,
United experienced a moderate increase in consumer loans of 1.1%, while
commercial loans and mortgage loans showed increases of 13.7% and 6.4%,
respectively.

Total interest expense increased $3,018,000 or 4.3% in 1996.  This increase was
attributed primarily to United's competitive pricing of interest-bearing
deposits in its markets and continued change in the retail deposit mix as
customers shifted funds into products offering higher yields.  United's average
interest-bearing deposits increased by $25,761,000 or 1.7% in 1996, while its
average FHLB advances increased $29,604,000 or 42.6% and average short-term
borrowings increased $3,999,000 or 4.8%.  United made greater use of FHLB
advances as the cost of those advances declined from 5.93% in 1995 to 5.54% in
1996. United utilized FHLB advances during 1996 to fund the growth in the
mortgage loan portfolio.  The average cost of funds, which increased from 4.22%
in 1995 to 4.25% in 1996, reflected the general upward trend in market interest
rates during 1996.

Provision for Loan Losses

United evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly
basis and its loan administration policies are focused upon the risk
characteristics of the loan portfolio.  United's process of evaluating the
allowance is a formal company-wide process that focuses on early identification
of potential problem credits and procedural

                                       80
<PAGE>
 
discipline in managing and accounting for those credits.  See Note D to the
Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of concentrations of credit
risk.

Nonperforming loans were $10,192,000 at December 31, 1996 and $10,990,000 at
December 31, 1995, a decrease of 7.3%.  The level of nonperforming assets
decreased as a result of the charge-off of certain large balance commercial
credits.  The components of nonperforming loans include nonaccrual loans and
loans that are contractually past due 90 days or more as to interest or
principal, but have not been placed on nonaccrual.  Loans past due 90 days or
more increased $1,139,000 or 24.3% during 1996; nonaccrual loans decreased
$1,937,000 or 30.8% since year-end 1995.  Nonperforming loans represented 0.44%
of total assets at the end of 1996, as compared to 0.52% for United's national
peer group.

At year-end 1996 and 1995 the allowance for loan losses was 1.21% and 1.30% of
total loans, net of unearned income.  At December 31, 1996 and 1995, the ratio
of the allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans was 218.6% and 205.1%,
respectively.

Management believes that the allowance for loan losses of $22,283,000 at
December 31, 1996, is adequate to provide for potential losses on existing loans
based on information currently available.

For the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 the provision for loan losses was
$2,610,000 and $2,320,000, respectively.  The increase in the provision for 1996
when compared to 1995 was to conform the allowance for loan losses on Eagle's
loan portfolio with United's loan valuation policies and in response to growth
in the portfolio.  The provision for loan losses charged to operations is based
on management's evaluation of individual credits, past loan loss experience, and
other factors which, in management's judgment, deserve recognition in estimating
possible loan losses.  Such other factors considered by management include
growth and composition of the loan portfolio, known deterioration in certain
classes of loans or collateral, trends in delinquencies and current economic
conditions.

Total net charge-offs were $2,872,000 in 1996 and $3,096,000 in 1995, which
represents 0.16% and 0.18% of average loans for the respective years.  United's
ratio of net charge-offs to average loans was better than its peer group's ratio
of 0.23% in 1996 and was comparable to its peer group's ratio of 0.19% in 1995.

Management is not aware of any potential problem loans, trends or uncertainties
which it reasonably expects will materially impact future operating results,
liquidity, or capital resources which have not been disclosed.  Additionally,
management has disclosed all known material credits which cause management to
have serious doubts as to the ability of such borrowers to comply with the loan
repayment schedules.

                                       81
<PAGE>
 
At December 31, 1996, impaired loans were $10,317,000, an increase of $1,525,000
or 17.4% from the $8,792,000 in impaired loans at December 31, 1995.  For
further details, see Note D to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Other Income

Noninterest income has been and will continue to be an important factor for
improving United's profitability.  Accordingly, management continues to evaluate
areas where noninterest income can be enhanced.  Noninterest income decreased
$563,000 or 3.8% for 1996 when compared to 1995.  Other income consists of all
revenues which are not included in interest and fee income related to earning
assets.  The decrease in noninterest income for 1996 was primarily the result of
the approximate $2,000,000 loss on loans sold in United's newly formed mortgage
banking subsidiary. These sales were necessary to strategically align the
mortgage banking operations with United's interest rate risk position.
Excluding gains and losses on sales of securities and mortgage banking
activities, noninterest income increased $978,000 or 7.1% in 1996 primarily as a
result of increased service charges and fees from customer accounts.

Trust income increased $275,000 or 9.5% in 1996 due to repricing of services and
an increased volume of trust business.

Service charges, commissions and fees increased by $1,396,000 or 14.1% in 1996.
The increase was primarily attributable to conforming the former Eagle offices'
service charge and fee structures to United's and increased return check charges
and bankcard fees.  This income includes charges and fees related to various
banking services provided by United. The increase was primarily due to a
combination of increased fees in bankcard accounts and an increased fee
structure for sales of checking related products.

Securities transactions resulted in a net loss of $98,000 in 1996.  The proceeds
from these sales of approximately $17 million were reinvested in similar
securities yielding a higher rate of return.  There were no securities sales in
1995.  The $872,000 of net securities losses realized in 1994 related primarily
to available for sale debt securities losses of approximately $1,024,000.  For
further details, see Notes C and L to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

On November 15, 1995, the FASB staff issued a Special Report, "A Guide to
Implementation of Statement 115 on Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt
and Equity Securities."  In accordance with the provision of that Special
Report, United chose to reclassify securities with an amortized cost of
$103,595,000 from held to maturity to available for sale.  At the date of the
transfer, the $242,000 unrealized gain on those securities was included in
shareholders' equity, net of related income taxes.  This enabled United to take
advantage of certain interest rate risk management strategies.

                                       82
<PAGE>
 
Other Expense

Just as management continues to evaluate areas where noninterest income can be
enhanced, it strives to improve the efficiency of its operations and thus reduce
operating costs.  United's cost control efforts have been very successful
resulting in an efficiency ratio of 52.6%, which is well below the 57.9%
reported by United's national peer group banks. United's ratio was higher in
1996 as a result of the merger and related expenses.

Other expense includes all items of expense other than interest expense, the
provision for loan losses and income tax expense.  In total, other expense
increased $6,068,000 or 10.6%.  The increase was primarily due to the one-time
and merger-related charges recorded in the first and second quarters and the
additional third quarter deposit insurance expense as a result of the SAIF
recapitalization legislation.

Salaries and employee benefits expense increased $2,887,000 or 11.2% in 1996.
Nearly all of the increase for 1996 was attributable to severance and benefit
pay of displaced Eagle executive officers, employment contracts and employees at
locations where United consolidated certain branches.  As of December 31, 1996
and 1995, United employed 893 and 946 full-time equivalent employees,
respectively.

Net occupancy expense in 1996 exceeded 1995 levels by $319,000 or 5.5% primarily
due to decreased rental income and an increase in real property repairs and
utilities expense.  The overall changes in net occupancy expense for 1996 were
insignificant with no material increase or decrease in any one expense category.

Remaining other expense increased $2,862,000 or 11.1% in 1996 compared to 1995.
The increase in other expense for 1996 related primarily to the additional
deposit insurance expense as a result of the SAIF recapitalization legislation,
higher insurance expense, advertising, consulting and legal expense, losses on
sales and write-downs of assets, EDP fees, office supplies, and goodwill
amortization.  Included in these increased costs was $1,483,000 of one-time
charges which related to reengineering costs incurred to improve efficiency,
productivity and strengthen United's competitiveness.  Additionally, the added
expenses of a purchase accounting acquisition included in 1996, but not in the
first ten months of 1995, have contributed to the overall increase in
noninterest expense.

Income Taxes

For the year ended December 31, 1996, income taxes approximated $16,691,000
compared to $17,782,000 for 1995.  The decrease of $1,091,000 or 6.7% for 1996
when compared to 1995 was primarily the result of decreased pretax income.
United's effective tax rates were approximately 35% for 1996 and 1995.

                                       83
<PAGE>
 
At December 31, 1996, gross deferred tax assets totaled approximately $13.6
million.  The allowance for loan losses and various accrued liabilities
represent the most significant temporary differences.

Quarterly Results

The first, second, and third quarters of 1996 contained significant
reengineering and merger-related and one-time special charges associated with
the Eagle merger.  These charges included, among other items, severance pay and
benefits for retiring and displaced Eagle officers and employees, investment
banker fees, costs to consolidate duplicate facilities, employee training, new
product promotions and computer conversions.

In the second quarter of 1996, United recorded additional income tax expense of
$3,086,000 due to the recapture of Eagle's bad debt expense into taxable income.
However, as a result of legislation enacted during the third quarter of 1996,
United was relieved of  the $3,086,000 of additional income tax expense that was
recorded in the second quarter.

Net income for the fourth quarter of 1996 was $9,936,000, an increase of 32.4%
from the $7,503,000 earned in the fourth quarter of 1995.  On a per share basis,
fourth quarter earnings were $0.65 per share in 1996 and $.50 per share in 1995.
Fourth quarter net income was higher in 1996 than in 1995 because of a return to
more normal levels of core income and expenses.

Additional quarterly financial data for 1996 and 1995 may be found in Note O to
the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Effect of Inflation

United's income statements generally reflect the effects of inflation. Since
interest rates, loan demand and deposit levels are impacted by inflation, the
resulting changes in the interest sensitive assets and liabilities are included
in net interest income.  Similarly, operating expenses such as salaries, rents
and maintenance include changing prices resulting from inflation.  One item that
would not reflect inflationary changes is depreciation expense.  Subsequent to
the  acquisition of depreciable assets, inflation causes price levels to rise;
therefore, historically presented dollar values do not reflect this inflationary
condition.  With inflation levels at relatively low levels and monetary and
fiscal policies being implemented to keep the inflation rate increases within an
acceptable range, management expects the impact of inflation would continue to
be minimal in the near future.

                                       84

Interest Rate Sensitivity

Interest sensitive assets and liabilities are defined as those assets
or liabilities that mature or are repriced within a designated time-frame.  The
principal function of interest rate risk management is to maintain an
appropriate relationship between those assets and liabilities that are sensitive
to changing market interest rates. United closely monitors the sensitivity of
its assets and liabilities on an on-going basis and projects the effect of
various interest rate changes on its net interest margin.

The difference between rate sensitive assets and rate sensitive liabilities for
specified periods of time is known as the "GAP."

At United, interest rate risk is managed to minimize the impact of fluctuating
interest rates on earnings.  As shown in the interest rate sensitivity gap table
in this section, United was liability sensitive (excess of liabilities over
assets) in the one year horizon.  On the surface, this would indicate that
rising market interest rates would reduce United's earnings and declining market
interest rates would increase earnings.  United, however, has not experienced
the kind of earnings volatility indicated from the cumulative gap.  This is
because a significant portion of United's retail deposit base does not reprice
on a contractual basis.  Management has estimated, based upon historical
analyses, that savings deposits are less sensitive to interest rate changes than
are other forms of deposits.  The GAP table presented herein has been adapted to
show the estimated differences in interest rate sensitivity which result when
the retail deposit base is assumed to reprice in a manner consistent with
historical trends.  (See "Management Adjustments" in the GAP table).  Using
these estimates, United was asset sensitive in the one year horizon in the
amount of $2,631,000 or 0.12% of the cumulative gap to related earning assets.

The primary method of measuring the sensitivity of earnings to changing market
interest rates is to simulate expected cash flows using varying assumed interest
rates while also adjusting the timing and magnitude of non-contractual deposit
repricing to more accurately reflect anticipated pricing behavior.  These
simulations include adjustments for the lag in prime loan repricing and the
spread and volume elasticity of interest-bearing deposit accounts, regular
savings and money market deposit accounts.  To aid in interest rate management,
United's lead bank, UNB, is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh
(FHLB).  The use of FHLB advances provides United with a low risk means of
matching maturities of earning assets and interest-bearing funds to achieve a
desired interest rate spread over the life of the earning assets.

Additionally, United is using certain off-balance-sheet instruments known as
interest rate swaps, to further aid in interest rate risk management.

For further details, see Note J to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

In the opinion of management, United maintains liquidity which is sufficient to
satisfy its depositors' requirements and the credit needs of its customers.
Like all banks, United depends upon its ability to renew maturing deposits and
other liabilities on a daily basis and to acquire new funds in a variety of
markets.  A significant source of funds available to United is "core deposits".
Core deposits include certain demand deposits, statement and special savings and
NOW accounts. These deposits are relatively stable and they are the lowest cost
source of funds available to United.  Short-term borrowings have also been a
significant source of funds.  These include federal funds purchased and
securities sold under agreements to repurchase as well as advances from the
FHLB.  Repurchase agreements represent funds that are generally obtained as the
result of a competitive bidding process.

Liquid assets are cash and those items readily convertible to cash.  All banks
must maintain sufficient balances of cash and near-cash items to meet the day-
to-day demands of customers.  Other than cash and due from banks, the available
for sale securities portfolio and maturing loans are the primary sources of
liquidity.

The goal of liquidity management is to ensure the ability to access funding
which enables United to efficiently satisfy the cash flow requirements of
depositors and borrowers and meet United's cash needs. Liquidity is managed by
monitoring funds availability from a number of primary sources.  Substantial
funding is available from cash and cash equivalents, unused short-term
borrowings and a geographically dispersed network of subsidiary banks providing
access to a diversified and substantial retail deposit market.

Short-term needs can be met through a wide array of sources such as
correspondent and downstream correspondent federal funds and utilization of FHLB
advances.

Other sources of liquidity available to United to provide long-term as well as
short-term funding alternatives, in addition to FHLB advances, are long-term
certificates of deposit, lines of credit, and borrowings secured by bank
premises or stock of United's subsidiaries.  United has no intention at this
time of utilizing any long-term funding sources other than FHLB advances and
long-term certificates of deposit.

Cash flows from operations in 1996 of $66,449,000 were 60.5% higher than the
$41,404,000 in 1995 as a result of an increase of approximately $23,067,000 of
excess proceeds from the sale of loans over loans

                                       87
<PAGE>
 
originated for sale.  In 1996, investing activities resulted in a use of cash of
$160,168,000 as compared to 1995 in which investing activities resulted in a
source of cash of $18,885,000.  The primary reason for the increase in the use
of cash for investing activities is that the net difference of security
purchases over proceeds from sales, maturities and calls of securities increased
from a net source of $63,589,000 in 1995 to a net use of $11,702,000 in 1996 or
a decrease of $75,291,000. Additionally, net loan originations increased by
$56,345,000 in 1996 as compared to 1995.  Financing activities resulted in a
source of cash in 1996 of $84,262,000 primarily due to a $57,134,000 increase in
net borrowings from the FHLB of Pittsburgh and a $53,184,000 increase in
deposits.  These sources of cash for financing activities were partially offset
by payment of $16,541,000 of cash dividends to shareholders and a net decrease
of $6,585,000 in other short-term borrowings.  See the Consolidated Statement of
Cash Flows in the Consolidated Financial Statements.

United has signed a definitive agreement to acquire all of the outstanding
common stock of First Patriot Bankshares Corporation for $17.00 per share or
approximately $39 million in cash. United has not yet finalized the sources of
funding for this acquisition; however, it could involve a combination of funds
currently available, short-term borrowings, and long-term borrowings.  United
believes it has adequate sources of funding available to complete this
acquisition.  See Note B, Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

United anticipates no problems in its ability to service its obligations over
the next 12 months.  There are no known trends, demands, commitments, or events
that will result in or that are reasonably likely to result in United's
liquidity increasing or decreasing in any material way.  United also has
significant lines of credit available to it.  See Note G, Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements.

Management is not aware of any current recommendations by regulatory authorities
which, if implemented, would have a material effect on liquidity, capital
resources or operations.

The asset and liability committee monitors liquidity to ascertain that a strong
liquidity position is maintained.  In addition, variable rate loans are a
priority.  These policies should help to protect net interest income against
fluctuations in interest rates.

United also seeks to maintain a proper relationship between capital and total
assets to support growth and sustain earnings.  United's average equity to
average asset ratio was 11.25% in 1996 and 10.94% in 1995. United's risk-based
capital ratio was 16.54% in 1996 and 16.80% in 1995 which are both significantly
higher than the minimum regulatory requirements.  United's Tier 1 capital and
leverage ratios of 15.29% and 10.84%, respectively, at December 31, 1996, are
also strong relative to its peers and are well above regulatory minimums.  See
Note M, Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

1995 COMPARED TO 1994

The following Earnings Summary is a broad overview of the financial condition
and results of operations and is not intended to replace the more detailed
discussion that is presented under the specific headings below.  This discussion
includes the accounts of United Bankshares, Inc. and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries, and reflects the merger of Eagle Bancorp, Inc. (Eagle) on April
12, 1996, under the pooling of interests method of accounting.  Accordingly, all
information presented includes Eagle.

EARNINGS SUMMARY

For the year ended December 31, 1995, net income increased 8.0% to a record
$32,817,000.  Net income per share of $2.18 for the year was up 8.5% from $2.01
in 1994.  United's return on average assets was 1.52%. Dividends per share
increased 10.4% from $1.06 in 1994 to a record level of $1.17 per share in 1995.
Core earnings, or earnings before taxes, loan sales, security transactions, and
the provision for loan losses, were strong and increased 5.8% for 1995 compared
to 1994.  These strong core earnings are indicative of the 4.0% increase in net
interest income driven by an increase in average net earning assets with
significant growth of 7.5% in average net loans.

Factors that contributed to the 1995 earnings increase included an improved net
interest margin, partially resulting from a $56,050,000 increase in average
earning assets from 1994 and an overall increase in noninterest income which
included fewer losses on the sale of securities and higher gains on the sales of
loans.  The favorable impact of the above items was partly offset by increased
personnel and occupancy expenses and increased income taxes as a result of the
higher level of pre-tax earnings.

United's key performance measures, return on average assets and return on
average equity, improved from 1994 and remained very strong in comparison to
industry standards.  United's return on average assets of 1.52% and return on
average shareholders' equity of 13.86% both compared

                                       89
<PAGE>
 
very favorably with regional peer group ratios of 1.17% and 12.56% and national
peer group ratios of 1.21% and 13.47%, respectively, according to information
provided by Wheat, First Securities, Inc.

The following discussion explains in more detail the results of operations and
changes in financial condition by major category.

Net Interest Income

For the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, net interest income approximated
$95,648,000 and $91,965,000, respectively.  On a tax-equivalent basis the net
interest margin was strong at 4.90% in 1995 and 4.85% in 1994.  Higher average
loan volumes of approximately $117 million resulting primarily from an
acquisition and higher consumer demand for mortgage loans contributed to the
increase in net interest income.  At 4.90%, United's net interest margin was
well above peer group averages.

Total interest income of $165,815,000 increased 12.3% in 1995 over 1994 as a
result of higher volumes of interest-earning assets.  Comparing year-end 1995 to
year-end 1994, a moderate decrease occurred in consumer loans of 3.0% while
commercial loans and mortgage loans showed increases of 3.1% and 6.7%,
respectively.

Total interest expense increased $14,495,000 or 26.0% in 1995.  This increase
can be attributed primarily to United's competitive pricing of interest-bearing
deposits in its markets and continued change in the retail deposit mix as
customers shift funds into products offering higher yields.  United's average
interest-bearing deposits increased by 3.1% in 1995, while its average long-term
borrowings decreased 11.6% and average short-term borrowings increased 5.5%.
United made greater use of short-term funds as the Federal Reserve held short-
term rates steady at approximately 6.0% for nearly half of 1995.  The average
cost of funds, which increased from 3.43% in 1994 to 4.22% in 1995, reflected
the general upward trend in market interest rates during 1995.

Provision for Loan Losses

United evaluated the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly
basis and its loan administration policies are focused upon the risk
characteristics of the loan portfolio.

Nonperforming loans were $10,990,000 at December 31, 1995 and $7,570,000 at
December 31, 1994, an increase of 45.2%.  The level of nonperforming assets
increased as a result of delinquencies on certain large balance commercial
credits and nonperforming assets acquired in an acquisition. Loans past due 90
days or more increased $1,841,000 or 64.6% during 1995; nonaccrual loans
increased $1,579,000 or 33.5% since year-end 1994.  Much of the increase in
nonaccrual loans was the result of the addition of a single large commercial
loan to nonaccrual status.  United is currently negotiating workout terms with
the borrowers and will closely monitor the ongoing status.  Nonperforming loans
represented

                                       90
<PAGE>
 
0.50% of total assets at the end of 1995, which is approximately one-half of the
national peer group level.

At year-end 1995 and 1994 the allowance for loan losses was 1.30% and 1.35% of
total loans, net of unearned income, respectively.  At December 31, 1995 and
1994, the ratio of the allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans was
205.1% and 294.6%, respectively.

For the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 the provision for loan losses was
$2,320,000 and $2,202,000, respectively.  The slight increase can be attributed
to the higher net charge-offs and the increase in nonperforming loans during
1995.

Total net charge-offs were $3,096,000 in 1995 and $873,000 in 1994, which
represents 0.18% and 0.06% of average loans, net of unearned income, for the
respective years.  United's ratio of net charge-offs to average loans, net of
unearned income, is comparable to its peers' ratio of 0.19% in 1995 and compared
very favorably with its peers group's ratio of 0.22% in 1994.

Effective January 1, 1995, United adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board
Statement No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan,"(SFAS No.
114), as amended by SFAS No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a
Loan - Income Recognition and Disclosures," collectively SFAS No. 114.  As a
result of applying the rules prescribed by SFAS No. 114, certain loans are being
reported at the present value of their expected future cash flows using the
loan's effective interest rate, or as a practical expedient, at the loan's
observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is
collateral dependent.  At the time of adoption of SFAS No. 114, United had
approximately $8,000,000 of loans which were considered impaired in accordance
with the guidelines prescribed by SFAS No. 114. The adoption of SFAS No. 114 did
not have a material impact on the allowance for loan losses, the provision for
loan losses, the charge-off policy or the comparability of credit risk.

Consistent with United's existing method of income recognition for loans,
interest receipts on impaired loans, except those classified also as nonaccrual,
are recognized as interest income using the accrual method of income
recognition.  United's method of income recognition for impaired loans that are
classified as nonaccrual is to recognize interest income on the cash method of
income recognition or apply the cash receipt to principal when  the ultimate
collectibility of principal is in doubt.  The average recorded investment in
impaired loans during the year ended December 31, 1995 was approximately
$9,545,000.  For the year ended December 31, 1995, United recognized interest
income on those impaired loans of approximately $412,000, substantially all of
which was recognized using the accrual method of income recognition.  The amount
of interest income which would have been recorded under the original terms for
the above loans was $633,000.

                                       91
<PAGE>
 
At December 31, 1995, the recorded investment in loans that were considered to
be impaired was $8,792,000 (of which $4,934,000 were on a nonaccrual basis).
Included in this amount was $4,793,000 of impaired loans for which the related
allowance for credit losses was $1,918,000 and $3,999,000 of impaired loans that
did not have an allowance for credit losses.  The impact of adopting SFAS No.
114 was  immaterial to the financial condition and operations of United as of
and for the year ended December 31, 1995, and had no material impact on the
comparability of the credit risk as presented herein.

Other Income

In 1995, other income, excluding securities transactions, increased when
compared to 1994.  The overall increase in noninterest income of $2,514,000 or
20.5% was primarily attributed to the absence of net losses on securities
transactions incurred in 1994, a $642,000 increase in service charges,
commissions and fees and an $891,000 increase in net gains from sales of loans.

Trust income increased $43,000 or 1.5% in 1995 due to repricing of services and
an increased volume of trust business.

Service charges, commissions and fees increased by $642,000 or 6.9% in 1995.
This income consisted of charges and fees related to various banking services
provided by United.  The increase was primarily due to a combination of
increased fees in bankcard accounts and an increased fee structure for sales of
checking related products.

Securities transactions resulted in a net loss of $872,000 in 1994.  The
proceeds from these sales were reinvested in similar securities yielding a
higher rate of return.  The net losses from the sales of the securities were
fully recovered within the first eight months of 1995. There were no securities
sales in 1995.

During 1995, gains on sales of loans increased $891,000 over the amount of gains
reported in 1994 due to increased secondary market loan activity.  Additionally,
the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 122, "Accounting
for Mortgage Servicing Rights," (SFAS No. 122) at June 30, 1995, resulted in an
increase in gains on the sales of loans sold of approximately $412,000, before
tax, due to the recognition of servicing rights related to such loan sales.

The $872,000 of net securities losses for 1994 related primarily to available
for sale debt securities losses.

Other Expense

Other expense includes all items of expense other than interest expense, the
provision for loan losses, and income taxes.  In total, other expense increased
slightly in 1995, and management was successful in controlling costs.  The
income statement reflects a 2.8% increase in 1995 as compared to 1994.

Salaries and employee benefits expense increased $331,000 or 1.3% in 1995.

Net occupancy expense in 1995 exceeded 1994 levels by $263,000 or 4.8% primarily
due to decreased rental income from vacancies and an increase in real property
repairs and utilities expense.

Remaining other expense increased $979,000 or 3.9% in 1995 compared to 1994.
The increase in other expense for the year related primarily to higher
advertising, postage, bankcard and nonrecurring legal expenses which included
certain merger related expenses.  The increase in other expense was partially
offset by lower data processing fees and FDIC insurance expense as a result of
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation's decision to lower deposit insurance
premiums from $0.23 to $0.04 per $100 in Bank Insurance Fund (BIF) deposits for
well capitalized and well managed banks. The premium change resulted in a refund
of approximately $910,000 which was received in September 1995. The overall
decrease in FDIC insurance premiums for 1995 when compared to 1994 was
$1,475,000.  United's two banking subsidiaries are assessed at the lowest FDIC
insurance premium rate.

Income Taxes

For the year ended December 31, 1995, income taxes approximated $17,782,000
compared to $15,709,000 for 1994.  This increase is principally the result of
lower levels of tax-exempt income and higher levels of pretax income.  United's
effective tax rates for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 were 35% and
34%, respectively.

                             INDEPENDENT AUDITORS


  Board of Directors and Shareholders
  United Bankshares, Inc. and Subsidiaries

  We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of United
  Bankshares, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the
  related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders' equity and
  cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996.
  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.
  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements
  based on our audits.

  We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
  standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
  obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
  material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
  supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit
  also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
  estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
  statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
  for our opinion.

  In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
  all material respects, the consolidated financial position of United
  Bankshares, Inc. and subsidiaries at December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the
  consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
  three years in the period ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with
  generally accepted accounting principles.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                    UNITED BANKSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

                               December 31, 1996

NOTE A--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

United Bankshares, Inc. is a multi-bank holding company headquartered in
Charleston, West Virginia.  The principal West Virginia markets of United
Bankshares, Inc. and subsidiaries (United) are located in Parkersburg,
Charleston, Huntington, Morgantown and Wheeling, West Virginia.  United also
operates a banking subsidiary in Arlington, Virginia.  United considers all of
its principal business activities to be bank related.

The accounting and reporting policies of United conform with generally accepted
accounting principles.  The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial
statements and accompanying notes.  Actual results could differ from those
estimates.  A description of the significant accounting policies is presented
below.

Basis of Presentation:  The consolidated financial statements and the notes to
- ----------------------                                                        
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of United Bankshares,
Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, which have been restated to reflect the
merger of Eagle Bancorp, Inc. (Eagle) on April 12, 1996, under the pooling of
interests method of accounting. All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

Certain amounts in the 1995 and 1994 financial statements have been reclassified
to conform with the 1996 presentation. The reclassifications had no effect on
net income or shareholders' equity.

Securities:  Management determines the appropriate classification of securities
- -----------                                                                    
at the time of purchase.  Debt securities that United has the intent and the
ability to hold to maturity are carried at amortized cost.  Securities to be
held for indefinite periods of time and all marketable equity securities are
classified as available for sale and carried at fair value.  Unrealized holding
gains and losses on securities classified as available for sale are carried as a
separate component of shareholders' equity net of deferred income taxes.

Gains or losses on sales of securities are recognized by the specific
identification method and are reported separately in the statements of income.

Loans:  Interest on loans is accrued and credited to operations using methods
- ------                                                                       
that produce a level yield on principal amounts outstanding. Loan origination
and commitment fees and related direct loan origination costs are deferred and
amortized as an adjustment of loan yield over the estimated life of the related
loan.

                                       99

NOTE A--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

The accrual of interest income on commercial and most consumer loans generally
is discontinued when a loan becomes 90 days past due as to principal or
interest.  When interest accruals are discontinued, unpaid interest recognized
in income in the current year is reversed, and interest accrued in prior years
is charged to the allowance for loan losses. Management may elect to continue
the accrual of interest when the estimated net realizable value of collateral
exceeds the principal balance and accrued interest, and the loan is in the
process of collection.

Consistent with United's existing method of income recognition for loans,
interest on impaired loans, except those classified as nonaccrual, is recognized
as income using the accrual method.  United's method of income recognition for
impaired loans that are classified as nonaccrual is to recognize interest income
on the cash basis of income recognition or apply the cash receipt to principal
when  the ultimate collectibility of principal is in doubt.

The principal sources of revenue from United's mortgage banking business are:
(i) loan origination fees; (ii) gains or losses from the sale of loans, if any;
(iii) interest earned on mortgage loans during the period that they are held by
United pending sale; (iv) loan servicing fees; and (v) gain or loss on the
close-out of the hedge instrument used to offset the risk that changes in
interest rate may have on the value of United's mortgage loan inventory.

Loans held for Sale: Loans held for sale consist of one-to-four family
- --------------------                                                  
residential loans originated for sale in the secondary market and are carried at
the lower of cost or fair value determined on an aggregate basis.

Allowance for Loan Losses: The allowance for loan losses related to loans that
- --------------------------                                                    
are identified as impaired is based on the present value of expected future cash
flows using the loan's effective interest rate, or as a practical expedient, at
the loan's observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the
loan is collateral dependent. In providing for loan losses, United considers all
significant factors that affect the collectibility of loans including the
evaluation of impaired loans.  Such other factors considered by management
include growth and composition of the loan portfolio, known deterioration in
certain classes of loans or collateral, trends in delinquencies, and current
economic conditions.

Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate to provide
for potential losses on existing loans based on information currently available.

Bank Premises and Equipment:  Bank premises and equipment are stated at cost,
- ----------------------------                                                 
less allowances for depreciation and amortization.  The provision for
depreciation is computed principally by the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the respective assets.

Income Taxes: Deferred income taxes are provided for temporary differences
- -------------                                                             
between the tax basis of an asset or liability and its reported amount in the
financial statements at the statutory tax rate.

Stock-Based Compensation:  In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards
- -------------------------                                                     
Board ("FASB"), issued Statement No. 123, (SFAS No. 123), "Accounting for Stock-
Based Compensation," which is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1995.  SFAS No. 123 defines a fair value  based  method  of
accounting for stock-based compensation  plans, with the option of continuing to
account for such plans under the intrinsic value method.  United has elected to
continue to account for its plans under the intrinsic value method.

Trust Assets and Income:  Assets held in a fiduciary or agency capacity for
- ------------------------                                                   
subsidiary bank customers are not included in the balance sheets since such
items are not assets of the subsidiary banks.  Trust department income is
reported on a cash basis.  Reporting such income on an accrual basis would not
materially affect United's consolidated financial position or its results of
operations as reported herein.

Cash Flow Information:  For purposes of the statement of cash flows, United
- ----------------------                                                     
considers cash and due from banks and federal funds sold as cash and cash
equivalents.

Earnings Per Common Share:  Earnings per common share is computed based on the
- --------------------------                                                    
weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding
during the applicable period.  Options granted under United's stock option plans
are considered common stock equivalents for the purpose of computing earnings
per share.

Intangible Assets: Intangible assets relating to the estimated value of the
- ------------------                                                         
deposit base of the acquired institutions are being amortized on an accelerated
basis over a 7 to 10 year period.  The excess of the purchase price over the
fair market value of the net assets of the banks acquired (goodwill) is being
amortized on a straight-line basis over 15 years.  The carrying amount of
goodwill is evaluated if facts and circumstances suggest that it may be
impaired.  If this evaluation indicates that goodwill will not be recoverable,
as determined based on the estimated undiscounted cash flows of the entity
acquired over the remaining amortization period, the carrying amount of goodwill
will be reduced.

The purchase prices of acquisitions have been allocated to the identifiable
tangible and intangible assets acquired based upon their fair values at the
acquisition dates.  At December 31, 1996 and 1995, deposit base intangibles and
goodwill approximated $11,959,000 and $14,377,000 net of accumulated
amortization of approximately $9,888,000 and $7,470,000.

New Accounting Standards:  In June 1996, the FASB issued Statement No. 125,
- -------------------------                                                  
(SFAS No. 125), "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and
Extinguishments of Liabilities."  SFAS No. 125 prescribes the accounting
treatment for securitization transactions based on a financial components
approach with an emphasis on physical control, such as the ability to pledge or
exchange the securitized assets.  SFAS No. 125 applies to repurchase agreements,
securities lending, loan participations, and other financial component transfers
and exchanges.

The new rules will not have a material effect on United's financial position and
results of operations.  SFAS No. 125 is effective for transactions occurring
after December 31, 1996.

NOTE B--ACQUISITIONS

On April 12, 1996, United consummated the merger with Eagle Bancorp, Inc.,
Charleston, West Virginia ("Eagle"), in a common stock exchange accounted for
under the pooling of interests method of accounting and, accordingly, all prior
period financial statements have been restated to include Eagle.  United
exchanged 1.15 shares of its common stock for each of the 2,729,377 common
shares of Eagle or 3,138,704 shares.

The following presents the separate results of United and Eagle for the three
months ended March 31, 1996 and for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994.

NOTE B--ACQUISITIONS - continued

On October 31, 1995, United acquired 100% of the common stock of First
Commercial Bank("FCB") of Arlington, Virginia, in a combination cash and common
stock exchange accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.   United
exchanged 202,125 shares of its common stock with an approximate fair value of
$6,063,000 plus cash of approximately $5,280,000 for all 201,100 of FCB's common
stock.  As of the date of acquisition, FCB reported total assets of $76,964,000,
total net loans of $41,386,000 and deposits of $50,200,000.  The results of
operations of FCB, which are not significant, have been included in the
consolidated results of operations from the date of acquisition.

United has entered into an agreement with First Patriot Bankshares Corporation,
Reston, Virginia ("Patriot") to acquire 100% of the outstanding  common stock of
Patriot for $17.00 per share.  The transaction valued at approximately
$39,247,000 will be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.  It
is anticipated that the proposed acquisition will be consummated during the
third quarter of 1997.  Consummation of the transaction is subject to approval
of the shareholders of Patriot and the receipt of all required regulatory
approvals, as well as other customary conditions.

At December 31, 1996, Patriot had consolidated assets of approximately
$191,440,000 and shareholders' equity of approximately $14,335,000.

There were no sales in 1995.

In accordance with a special report issued by the FASB, "A Guide to
Implementation of Statement 115 on Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt
and Equity Securities,"  United chose to reclassify securities from held to
maturity to available for sale.  At the date of the transfer, the amortized cost
of those securities was $103,595,000, and the unrealized gain on those
securities was $242,000, net of deferred income taxes, which is included in
shareholders' equity.

The average recorded investment in impaired loans during the year ended December
31, 1996 and 1995 was approximately $9,442,000 and $9,545,000, respectively.

At December 31, 1996, the recorded investment in loans that were considered to
be impaired was $10,317,000 (of which $5,461,000 was on a nonaccrual basis).
Included in this amount was $5,631,000 of impaired loans for which the related
allowance for credit losses was $1,451,000 and $4,686,000 of impaired loans that
did not have an allowance for credit losses.  At December 31, 1995, the recorded
investment in loans that were considered to be impaired was $8,792,000 (of which
$4,934,000 was on a nonaccrual basis).  Included in this amount was $4,793,000
of impaired loans for which the related allowance for credit losses was
$1,918,000 and $3,999,000 of impaired loans that did not have an allowance for
credit losses.

NOTE D--LOANS - continued

The amount of interest income that would have been recorded on impaired loans
under the original terms was $1,464,000, $1,045,000 and $346,000 for the years
ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  For the years ended
December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, United recognized interest income on those
impaired loans of approximately $638,000, $412,000 and $1,000, respectively,
substantially all of which was recognized using the accrual method of income
recognition.

United has commercial real estate loans, including owner occupied, income
producing real estate and land development loans, of approximately $355,431,000
and $334,626,000 as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  The loans are
primarily secured by real estate located in West Virginia, Southeastern Ohio,
and Virginia.  The loans were originated by United's subsidiary banks using
underwriting standards as set forth by management.  United's loan administration
policies are focused on the risk characteristics of the loan portfolio,
including commercial real estate loans, in  terms of loan approval and credit
quality.  It is the opinion of management that these loans do not pose any
unusual risks and that adequate consideration has been given to the above loans
in establishing the allowance for loan losses.

United's subsidiary banks have made loans, in the normal course of business, to
the directors and officers of United and its subsidiaries, and to their
associates.  Such related party loans were made on substantially the same terms,
including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for
comparable transactions with unrelated persons and did not involve more than
normal risk of collectibility.  The aggregate dollar amount of these loans was
$72,367,000 and $55,919,000 at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. During
1996, $53,585,000 of new loans were made, repayments totaled $44,839,000, and
other changes due to the change in composition of United's board members and
executive officers approximated $7,702,000.

United's subsidiary banks have received deposits, in the normal course of
business, from the directors and officers of United and its subsidiaries, and
their associates.  Such related party deposits were accepted on substantially
the same terms, including interest rates and maturities, as those prevailing at
the time for comparable transactions with  unrelated persons.  The aggregate
dollar amount of these deposits was $18,335,000 and $16,655,000 at December 31,
1996 and 1995, respectively.

NOTE G--BORROWINGS

United's lead subsidiary, United National Bank (UNB), is a member of the Federal
Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh (FHLB).  Membership in the FHLB makes available
short-term and long-term borrowings from collateralized advances.  At December
31, 1996, United had  approximately $627,169,000 of available borrowings in the
form of  collateralized advances from the FHLB at prevailing interest rates.

Approximately $104,000,000 of FHLB advances with an interest rate of 6.75% and
$25,000,000 of FHLB advances with an interest rate of 6.20% are scheduled to
mature in 1997.  Additionally, $3,631,000 of FHLB advances with a weighted
average interest rate of 6.16% are scheduled to mature after one year.

UNB also has various unused lines of credit available from certain of its
correspondent banks in the aggregate amount of $79,500,000.  These lines of
credit, which bear interest at prevailing market rates, permit UNB to borrow
funds in the overnight market, and are renewable annually provided that UNB does
not experience a material adverse change in its financial position or results of
operations.

NOTE I--EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

United has a defined benefit retirement plan covering substantially all
employees.  The benefits are based on years of service and the average of the
employee's highest five consecutive plan years of basic compensation paid during
the ten plan years preceding the date of determination.  United's funding policy
is to contribute annually the maximum amount that can be deducted for federal
income tax purposes. Contributions are intended to provide not only for benefits
attributed to service to date, but also for those expected to be earned in the
future.

The following table sets forth the funded status of United's defined benefit
plan and amounts recognized in the respective consolidated balance sheets:

At December 31, 1996, the weighted average discount rate and rate of increase in
future compensation levels used in determining the actuarial present value of
the projected benefit obligation was 7.5% and 4.5%.  At December 31, 1995, the
weighted average discount rate and rate of increase in future compensation
levels used in determining the actuarial present value of the projected benefit
obligation ranged from 6.25% to 7.5% and 4.5% to 5.25%.  The weighted average
expected long-term rate of return on United's plan assets ranged from 7.75% to
9.00% for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994.

The United Savings and Stock Investment Plan (the Plan) is a deferred
compensation plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. All
employees who complete one year of service are eligible to participate in the
Plan.  Each participant may contribute from 1% to 10% of pre-tax earnings to his
or her account which may be invested in any of four investment options chosen by
the employee.  United matches 100% of the first 2% of salary deferred and 25% of
the next 2% of salary deferred with United common stock.  Vesting is 100% for
employee deferrals and the United match at the time the employee makes his/her
deferral.  United's expense relating to the Plan approximated $330,000, $297,000
and $336,000 in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

The assets of United's defined benefit plan and 401(k) Plan each include
investments in United common stock.  At December 31, 1996, the combined plan
assets included 385,960 shares of United common stock with an approximate fair
value of $12,737,000.

United has certain other deferred compensation plans covering various key
employees.  Periodic charges are made to operations so that the present value of
the liability due each employee is fully recorded as of the date of their
retirement.  Amounts charged to expense have not been significant in any year.

United has three incentive stock option plans for key employees, the 1988, 1991
and 1996 plans.  The plans provide for the granting of stock options of up to
100,000, 500,000 and 600,000 shares of common stock, respectively.  No further
grants will be made under the 1988 and 1991 plans.  At December 31, 1996,
490,514 options were available for future grant under the 1996 plan.  Under the
provisions of the plans, the option price per share shall not be less than the
fair market value of United's common stock on the date of grant.  Accordingly,
no compensation expense is recognized for these options.

As permitted, United has adopted the disclosure only provision of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation."  Pro forma net income and earnings per share have not been
presented because the effect of applying the fair value method prescribed by
SFAS 123 to the 1996 and 1995 options awarded produces amounts that are not
materially different from amounts reported herein.

United provides postemployment and postretirement benefits for certain employees
at subsidiaries acquired in prior years.  United accounts for such costs as
expense when paid.  Accounting for such costs when paid does not produce results
materially different from those which would result if such costs were accrued
during the period of employee service. United does not anticipate providing
postemployment or postretirement benefits to its currently active employees
after employment or retirement except on a fully contributory basis.

NOTE J--COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

United is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the
normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers and to
alter its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates.  These financial
instruments include loan commitments, standby letters of credit, forward
contracts for the delivery of mortgage-backed securities and interest rate swap
agreements.  The instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and
interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the financial
statements.

United's maximum exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the
counterparty to the financial instrument for the loan commitments and standby
letters of credit is the contractual or notional amount of those instruments.
United uses the same policies in making commitments and conditional obligations
as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as
there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments
generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may
require the payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to
expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily
represent future cash requirements. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed
necessary upon the extension of credit, is based on management's credit
evaluation of the counterparty.  United had approximately $340,338,000 and
$271,738,000 of loan commitments outstanding as of December 31, 1996 and 1995,
respectively, substantially all of which expire within one year.

Standby letters of credit are agreements used by United's customers as a means
of improving their credit standing in their dealings with others. Under these
agreements, United guarantees certain financial commitments of its customers.
United has issued standby letters of credit of $22,081,000 and $17,047,000 as of

United enters into hedging transactions to offset the risk that a change in
interest rates will result in a decrease in the value of United's current
mortgage loan inventory or its commitments to originate mortgage loans (the
"pipeline").  The pipeline is analyzed on a loan-by-loan basis to estimate the
exposure to loss based on the market price, commitment price and time to
expiration.  The risk of loss is then matched with the appropriate hedge
vehicle.  United primarily utilizes forward contracts for the delivery of
mortgage-backed securities as hedge vehicles. United's policies generally
require that it hedge substantially all of its inventory of conforming and
government loans and the maximum portion of its pipeline that may close.  The
mortgage-backed securities that are to be delivered under these contracts are
fixed or adjustable-rate, corresponding with the composition of United's
inventory and pipeline. The correlation between the price performance of the
hedge vehicles and the inventory being hedged is very high due to the similarity
of the asset and the related hedge vehicle.  At December 31, 1996, United had
open commitments amounting to approximately $6,000,000 to sell mortgage-

backed securities with varying settlement dates generally not extending beyond
March 1997.  As such, United is not exposed to significant risk nor will it
derive any significant benefit from changes in interest rates on the price of
the mortgage loan inventory, net of gains or losses of associated hedge
positions.

In 1994 United entered into an interest rate swap agreement to manage its
interest rate exposure.  The interest rate swap transaction involves the
exchange of a floating rate payment based on the one month London inter-bank
offered rate (LIBOR) for a fixed rate receipt based on the U. S. three year
treasury note. The net pay and receive amount is calculated on an underlying
notional amount without the exchange of the underlying principal amount.  The
interest rate swap subjects United to market risk associated with changes in
interest rates, as well as the risk that the counterparty will fail to perform.
Only the interest payments are exchanged, and therefore, cash requirements and
exposure to credit risk are significantly less than the notional amount.

The notional amount shown below represents an agreed-upon amount on which
calculations of amounts to be exchanged are based.  It does not represent direct
credit exposure.  United's credit exposure is limited to the net difference
between the calculated pay and receive amounts on the transaction which is
netted monthly.

The swap, which closes in February 1997, is summarized as follows:

<TABLE>
<S>                                                 <C>
  Notional value                                    $50,000,000
  Average receive rate during 1996                    4.50%
  Average pay rate during 1996                        5.46%
</TABLE>

During 1996, 1995 and 1994 the interest rate swap reduced interest income by
$526,000, $787,000 and $1,000,respectively.  At December 31, 1996, the estimated
unrealized loss on the swap, which may reduce interest income in future periods,
approximated $51,000.

Management does not anticipate any material losses as a result of these loan
commitments, standby letters of credit, forward contracts for the delivery of
mortgage-backed securities and interest rate swap agreements.

In the normal course of business, United and its subsidiaries are currently
involved in various legal proceedings.  Management is vigorously pursuing all
its legal and factual defenses and, after consultation with legal counsel,
believes that all such litigation will be resolved with no material effect on
United's financial position or results of operations.

NOTE M--REGULATORY MATTERS

The subsidiary banks are required to maintain average reserve balances with
their respective Federal Reserve Bank.  The average amount of those reserve
balances for the year ended December 31, 1996 was approximately $24,414,000.

The primary source of funds for the dividends paid by United Bankshares, Inc. is
dividends received from its subsidiary banks.  Dividends paid by United's
subsidiary banks are subject to regulatory limitations. Generally, the most
restrictive provision requires regulatory approval if dividends declared in any
year exceed the year's net income, as defined, plus the retained net profits of
the two preceding years.

During 1997, the retained net profits available for distribution to United
Bankshares, Inc., as dividends without regulatory approval, are approximately
$20,700,000, plus net income for the interim period through the date of
declaration.

Under Federal Reserve regulation, the banking subsidiaries are also limited as
to the amount they may loan to affiliates, including the parent company.  Loans
from the banking subsidiaries to the parent company are limited to 10% of the
banking subsidiaries' capital, and surplus, as defined, or $10,000,000 at
December 31, 1996, and must be secured by qualifying collateral.

United's subsidiary banks are subject to various regulatory capital requirements
administered by federal banking agencies.  Pursuant to capital adequacy
guidelines, United's subsidiary banks must meet specific capital guidelines that
involve quantitative measures of the banks' assets, liabilities, and certain
off-balance-sheet items as cal-

culated under regulatory accounting practices. United's subsidiary banks'
capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by
the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy
require United to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total and Tier I
capital, as defined in the regulations, to risk-weighted assets, as defined, and
of Tier I capital, as defined, to average assets, as defined.  Management
believes, as of December 31, 1996, that United exceeds all capital adequacy
requirements to which it is subject.

As of December 31, 1996, the most recent notification from its regulators,
United and its subsidiary banks were categorized as well capitalized.  To be
categorized as well capitalized, United must maintain minimum total risk-based,
Tier I risk-based, and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the following
table.  There are no conditions or events since that notification that
management believes have changed United's category.

United's and United's lead bank's, United National Bank, capital amounts (in
thousands of dollars) and ratios are presented in the following table.

NOTE N--FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The following methods and assumptions were used by United in estimating its
fair value disclosures for financial instruments:

Cash and Cash Equivalents:  The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet
- --------------------------                                                    
for cash and cash equivalents approximate those assets' fair values.

Securities:  The estimated fair values of securities are based on quoted market
- -----------                                                                    
prices, where available.  If quoted market prices are not available, fair values
are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments.

Loans:  The estimated fair values of variable-rate loans that reprice
- ------                                                               
frequently with no significant change in credit risk are based on carrying
values.  The fair values of certain mortgage loans (e.g., one-to-four family
residential), credit card loans, and other consumer loans are based on quoted
market prices of similar loans sold in conjunction with securitization
transactions, adjusted for differences in loan characteristics.  The fair values
of other loans (e.g., commercial real estate and rental property mortgage loans,
commercial and industrial loans, financial institution loans, and agricultural
loans) are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates
currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar
credit worthiness.

Off-Balance-Sheet Instruments:  Fair values of United's loan commitments are
- ------------------------------                                              
based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into
account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties' credit
standing.  The estimated fair values of these commitments approximate their
carrying values.  The fair value of the interest rate swap agreement is
calculated with pricing models using current rate assumptions.  The fair value
of forward contracts for the delivery of mortgage-backed securities in
connection with its mortgage banking activities is based upon quoted market
prices or prices of similar instruments when available.

Deposits:  The fair values of demand deposits (e.g., interest and non-interest
- ---------                                                                     
checking, regular savings and certain types of money market accounts) are, by
definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e.,
their carrying amounts).  The carrying amounts of variable-rate, fixed-term
money market accounts and certificates of deposit approximate their fair values
at the reporting date.  Fair values of fixed-rate certificates of deposit are
estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates
currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected
monthly maturities on time deposits.

Short-term Borrowings:  The carrying amounts of federal funds purchased,
- ----------------------                                                  
borrowings under repurchase agreements, and other short-term borrowings
approximate their fair values.

    of $3,086 due to the recapture of Eagle's bad debt reserve into taxable
    income. However, as a result of legislation enacted during the third quarter
    of 1996, United was relieved of the liability.
