            MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                            AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

          These interim financial statements are prepared without audit and
     reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary
     to present fairly the financial position of United Bancorp, Inc.
     ("Company") at March 31, 2000, and its results of operations and cash flows
     for the periods presented. All such adjustments are normal and recurring in
     nature. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have
     been prepared in accordance with the instructions of Form 10-Q and,
     therefore, do not purport to contain all the necessary financial
     disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles that might
     otherwise be necessary in the circumstances and should be read in
     conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, and related notes
     thereto, of the Company for the year ended December 31, 1999 included in
     its annual report. Reference is made to the accounting policies of the
     Company described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements
     contained in its 1999 Annual Report to Shareholders. The Company has
     consistently followed these policies in preparing this Form 10-Q.

     PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION:
          The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
     Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, ("Banks") The Citizens Savings
     Bank, Martins Ferry, Ohio ("CITIZENS") and The Community Bank, Lancaster,
     Ohio ("COMMUNITY"). All significant intercompany transactions and balances
     have been eliminated in consolidation.

     NATURE OF OPERATIONS:
          The Company's and Banks' revenues, operating income and assets are
     primarily from the banking industry. Loan customers are mainly located in
     Athens, Belmont, Carroll, Fairfield, Harrison, Hocking, Jefferson, and
     Tuscarawas Counties and the surrounding localities in northeastern,
     eastern, southeastern, and central Ohio and include a wide range of
     individuals, business and other organizations. A major portion of loans are
     secured by various forms of collateral including real estate, business
     assets, consumer property and other items. Commercial loans are expected to
     be repaid from cash flows of the business. CITIZENS conducts its business
     through its main office in Martins Ferry, Ohio and nine branches in
     Bridgeport, Colerain, Dellroy, Dover, Jewett, New Philadelphia, St.
     Clairsville, Sherrodsville, and Strasburg, Ohio. COMMUNITY conducts its
     business through its main office in Lancaster and four branches in
     Lancaster, Glouster, Nelsonville and Amesville, Ohio. All of the Company's
     banking operations are considered by Management to be aggregated in one
     reportable operating segment.

     USE OF ESTIMATES:
          To prepare financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
     accounting principles, management makes estimates and assumptions based on
     available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts
     reported in the financial statements and the disclosures provided and
     future results could differ. The allowance for loan losses, fair values of
     financial instruments and status of contingencies are particularly subject
     to change.


                                                                               7

1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

     INCOME TAXES:
          Income tax expense is based on the effective tax rate expected to be
     applicable for the entire year. Income tax expense is the total of the
     current year income tax due or refundable and the change in deferred tax
     assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are the
     expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the
     carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities, computed using
     enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax
     assets to the amount expected to be realized.

     STOCK DIVIDENDS:
          Dividends issued in stock are reported by transferring the market
     value of the stock issued from retained earnings to common stock and
     additional paid-in capital. All per share data has been retroactively
     adjusted for the 5% stock dividends distributed in 1999 and 1998 and the
     10% stock dividend distributed in 1997.

     EARNINGS AND DIVIDENDS PER SHARE:
          Basic earnings per common share ("EPS") is net income divided by the
     weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted
     EPS includes the dilutive effect of additional potential common shares
     issuable under stock options. Earnings and dividends per share are restated
     for all stock dividends through the date of issuance of the financial
     statements.

     COMPREHENSIVE INCOME:
          Comprehensive income consists of net income and other comprehensive
     income. Other comprehensive income includes unrealized gains and losses on
     securities available for sale which is also recognized as a separate
     component of equity. Other comprehensive income components net of related
     taxes are as follows:

4.   COMMITMENTS, OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK AND CONTINGENCIES

          There are various contingent liabilities not reflected within the
     financial statements, including claims and legal actions arising in the
     ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, after
     consultation with legal counsel, the ultimate disposition of these matters
     is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial
     condition or results of operations.

          Some financial instruments are used in the normal course of business
     to meet the financing needs of customers. These financial instruments
     include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and
     financial guarantees. These involve, to varying degrees, credit and
     interest-rate risk in excess of the amounts reported in the financial
     statements.

          Exposure to credit loss if the other party does not perform is
     represented by the contractual amount for commitments to extend credit,
     standby letters of credit and financial guarantees written. The same credit
     policies are used for commitments and conditional obligations as are used
     for loans. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary, upon
     extension of credit is based on management's credit evaluation. Collateral
     varies, but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property,
     equipment, income-producing commercial properties, residential real estate
     and consumer assets.

          Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as
     long as there is no violation of any condition established in the
     commitment. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other
     termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the


                                                                              11

     commitments are expected to expire without being used, total commitments do
     not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Standby letters of
     credit and financial guarantees written are conditional commitments to
     guarantee a customer's performance to a third party.

     ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

     EARNING ASSETS - LOANS

          At March 31, 2000, gross loans were $184,518,000 compared to
     $180,516,000 at year-end 1999, an increase of 2.2%. The increase in total
     outstanding loans was the result of growth in the commercial and
     installment portfolios. COMMUNITY generated this growth as outstanding
     loans increased 6.3% of approximately $4.0 million from December 31, 1999.
     Management anticipates the expansion plans for COMMUNITY will provide a
     solid market for loan growth.

          Installment loans, with continued emphasis placed on the indirect
     automobile lending market, stayed relatively constant at 29.3% of total
     loans at March 31, 2000 compared to 29.6% at year-end 1999. The indirect
     lending type of financing carries somewhat more risk than real estate
     lending, however, it also provides for higher yields. The targeted lending
     areas encompass four metropolitan areas, minimizing the risk to changes in
     economic conditions in the communities housing the Company's 17 branch
     locations. Management has worked to expand the lending market of COMMUNITY
     into the Lancaster, Ohio area which provided an increase of installment
     loans of $2,088,000 from December 31, 1999. As a result of the expansion of
     the lending market, the installment loan portfolio increased 1.3% since
     December 31, 1999.

          Commercial and commercial real estate loans comprised 42.6% of total
     loans at March 31, 2000 compared to 42.0% at December 31, 1999. Commercial
     and commercial real estate loans have increased $2,819,000, or 3.7% since
     December 31, 1999. The Company has originated and bought participations in
     loans from other banks for out-of-area commercial and commercial real
     estate loans to benefit from consistent economic growth outside the
     Company's primary market area. The majority of these loans are secured by
     real estate holdings comprised of hotels, motels and churches located in
     various geographic locations, including Columbus and the Akron-Canton, Ohio
     metropolitan areas. Out-of-area loans at March 31, 2000 were 8.4% of total
     loans and 19.7% of total commercial and commercial real estate loans
     compared to 8.5% and 20.3% at year-end 1999.

          Real estate loans were 28.1% of total loans at March 31, 2000 compared
     to 28.4% at year-end 1999. Real estate loans increased 1.1% since December
     31, 1999. Our real estate loans are not growing as quickly as commercial,
     commercial real estate, and installment, however, the slight increase shows
     the shift of customer's preference to adjustable rate real estate loans.

          The allowance for loan losses represents the amount which management
     and the Board of Directors estimates is adequate to provide for probable
     losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The allowance balance and the
     provision charged to expense are reviewed by management and the Board of
     Directors monthly using a risk code model that considers borrowers past due
     experience, economic conditions and various other circumstances that are
     subject to change over time. Management believes the current balance of the
     allowance for loan losses is adequate to absorb probable losses associated
     with the loan portfolio. Net charge-offs for the three months ended March
     31, 2000 were approximately $206,000, or 6.6%, of the beginning allowance
     for loan losses compared to $144,000, or 4.7%, of the beginning balance for
     loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 1999. During the first
     quarter of 2000, net charge-offs for consumer



                                                                              15

     loans totaled approximately $88,000 compared to $128,000 for the first
     quarter of 1999. The decrease can be attributed to Management's continued
     focus on improving underwriting standards. During the first quarter of
     2000, net charge-offs for commercial loans were $118,000 compared to
     $16,000 for the first quarter of 1999. Management does not anticipate the
     trend in commercial net charge-offs to continue for the remainder of the
     fiscal year 2000.

     EARNING ASSETS - SECURITIES AND FEDERAL FUNDS SOLD
          The securities portfolio is comprised of U.S. Government agency-backed
     securities, tax-exempt obligations of states and political subdivisions and
     certain other investments. The Company does not hold any collateralized
     mortgage-backed securities, other than those issued by U.S. government
     agencies, or derivative securities. The quality rating of obligations of
     state and political subdivisions within Ohio is no less than Aaa, Aa or A,
     with all out-of-state bonds rated at AAA. Board policy permits the purchase
     of certain non-rated bonds of local schools, townships and municipalities,
     based on their estimated levels of credit risk. Securities available for
     sale at March 31, 2000 increased approximately $115,000, or 0.1% from
     year-end 1999 totals. Securities held to maturity stayed relatively
     constant compared to year-end 1999 totals.

          Short-term federal funds sold are used to manage interest rate
     sensitivity and to meet liquidity needs of the Company. At March 31, 2000,
     the Company had no federal funds sold compared to $780,000 at year-end
     1999.


     SOURCES OF FUNDS - DEPOSITS
          The Company's primary source of funds is core deposits from retail and
     business customers. These core deposits include all categories of
     interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing deposits, excluding certificates
     of deposit greater than $100,000. For the period ended March 31, 2000,
     total core deposits increased approximately $15.7 million primarily from an
     increase of demand deposits and time deposits under $100,000 of $1.2
     million and $16.2 million, respectively. This was partly offset by a
     decrease in savings deposits of $1.8 million. In the first quarter of 2000,
     COMMUNITY has experienced an increase of time deposits under $100,000 of
     $11.9 million. This increase is primarily the result of Management's
     expansion plans in Lancaster, Ohio. The Company has a strong deposit base
     from public agencies, including local school districts, city and township
     municipalities, public works facilities and others that may tend to be more
     seasonal in nature resulting from the receipt and disbursement of state and
     federal grants. These entities have maintained fairly static balances with
     the Company due to various funding and disbursement timeframes.

          Certificates of deposit greater than $100,000 are not considered part
     of core deposits and as such are used to balance rate sensitivity as a tool
     of funds management. At March 31, 2000, certificates of deposit greater
     than $100,000 increased approximately $371,000, or 1.6% from year-end 1999
     totals.

     SOURCES OF FUNDS - SECURITIES SOLD UNDER AGREEMENTS TO REPURCHASE AND
     OTHER BORROWINGS
          Other interest-bearing liabilities include securities sold under
     agreements to repurchase, sweep accounts, federal funds purchased,
     Treasury, Tax & Loan notes payable and Federal


                                                                              16

     Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") advances. In the first three months of 2000, the
     Company continued to utilize the FHLB programs to manage interest rate risk
     and liquidity positions. The majority of the Company's repurchase agreement
     are with local school districts, city and county government. Total other
     borrowings decreased approximately $15.1 million, or 49.2% from year-end
     1999 totals. The decrease in other borrowings was offset by an increase in
     certificates of deposit.

     RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2000

     NET INCOME
          Basic earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2000 was
     $0.20, compared with $0.28 for the three months ended March 31, 1999. Net
     income decreased $254,000 for three months ended March 31, 2000, compared
     to the same period in 1999. On an annualized basis, Return on Average
     Assets (ROA) was 0.77% and Return on Average Equity (ROE) was 9.26%
     compared to ROA of 1.16% and ROE of 12.18% for the three months ended March
     31, 1999.

     NET INTEREST INCOME
          Net interest income, by definition, is the difference between interest
     income generated on interest-earning assets and the interest expense
     incurred on interest-bearing liabilities. Various factors contribute to
     changes in net interest income, including volumes, interest rates and the
     composition or mix of interest-earning assets in relation to
     interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income decreased 0.7% for the
     three months ended March 31, 2000 compared to the same period in 1999.

          Total interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2000 was
     $5,593,000 compared to $5,231,000 for the same period in 1999. Total
     interest income increased $362,000, or 6.9%. The increase can be attributed
     to the overall growth in the Company's interest-bearing assets, and in
     increase in the interest rate environment.

          Total interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2000 when
     compared to the same three months period ended March 31, 1999, increased
     16.1%. The Company has experienced an increase in interest expense due to
     an increase in the first quarter of time deposits and an overall increase
     of rates on all deposit products to remain competitive in the market.


     PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
          The provision for loan losses is an operating expense recorded to
     maintain the related balance sheet allowance for loan losses at an amount
     considered adequate to cover losses that may occur in the normal course of
     lending.

          The total provision for loan losses was $116,000 for the three months
     ended March 31, 2000 compared to $198,000 for the same period in 1999.
     Management decreased the provision

in 2000 due to an anticipated decrease in net charge-offs for the fiscal year.
This decrease is a result of Management's commitment to improve the portfolio's
credit quality.

NONINTEREST INCOME
     Total noninterest income is made up of bank related fees and service
charges, as well as other income producing services provided, sale of secondary
market loans, ATM income, early redemption penalties for certificates of
deposits, safe deposit rental income and other miscellaneous items. Noninterest
income for the three months ended March 31, 2000 was $325,000 compared to
$379,000 for the same three months period ended March 31, 1999. For the three
months ended March 31, 2000 compared to the same period in 1999, noninterest
income decreased approximately 14.2%. The decrease in noninterest income can be
attributed to a decrease in secondary market fee income of approximately
$58,000. The secondary market loan production has declined due to the rise in
interest rates. Customer preference has shifted to adjustable rate mortgages
during the second half of 1999 and first quarter of 2000.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE
     Noninterest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2000 increased
16.4% over the three months ended March 31, 1999. Non-recurring costs have been
incurred in the first quarter of 2000 related to COMMUNITY'S opening of a new
headquarters, an adjacent limited service drive-thru, and a full service banking
center in Lancaster, Ohio. In addition, additional staffing, advertising and
occupancy expenses were added to the COMMUNITY'S cost structure as a result of
this expansion.


CAPITAL RESOURCES
     Internal capital growth, through the retention of earnings, is the primary
means of maintaining capital adequacy for the Company. Shareholders' equity at
March 31, 2000 was $25,695,000 compared to $25,298,000 at December 31, 1999, a
1.6% increase. This increase was, in part, attributable to the market value
adjustment on the company's available for sale securities. Total shareholders'
equity in relation to total assets was 8.6% at March 31, 2000 and 8.5% at
December 31, 1999.

     The Company has a Dividend Reinvestment Plan ("The Plan") for shareholders
under which the Company's common stock will be purchased by the Plan for
participants with automatically reinvested dividends. The Plan does not
represent a change in the Company's dividend policy or a guarantee of future
dividends.

     Shareholders who do not wish to participate in the Plan continue to receive
cash dividends, as declared in the usual and customary manner. The Company has
approved the issuance of 150,000 authorized and unissued shares of the Company's
common stock for purchase under The Plan.

     The Company maintains a deferred compensation plan for its Directors. The
plan permits the Directors to defer into a Rabbi Trust all or a portion of their
director fees. The plan is being accounted for under the provisions of EITF
97-14.

     The Company and Banks are subject to regulatory capital requirements
administered by federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and prompt
corrective action regulations involve quantitative measures of assets,
liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items calculated under regulatory
accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to
qualitative judgments by regulators about components, risk weightings and other
factors and the regulators can lower classifications in certain cases. Failure
to meet various capital requirements can initiate regulatory action that could
have a direct material effect on the Banks' operations.

     The prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications,
including well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized,
significantly undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized, although these
terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If adequately
capitalized, regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits. If
undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is asset growth and
expansion and plans for capital restoration are required. The minimum
requirements are:

LIQUIDITY
     Management's objective in managing liquidity is maintaining the ability to
continue meeting the cash flow needs of its customers, such as borrowings or
deposit withdrawals, as well as its own financial commitments. The principal
sources of liquidity are net income, loan payments, maturing securities and
sales of securities available for sale, federal funds sold and cash and deposits
with banks. Along with its liquid assets, the Company has additional sources of
liquidity available to ensure that adequate funds are available as needed. These
include, but are

not limited to, the purchase of federal funds, the ability to borrow funds under
line of credit agreements with correspondent banks and a borrowing agreement
with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati, Ohio and the adjustment of
interest rates to obtain depositors. Management feels that it has the capital
adequacy, profitability and reputation to meet the current and projected needs
of its customers.

     For the three months ended March 31, 2000, the adjustments to reconcile net
income to net cash from operating activities consisted mainly of depreciation
and amortization of premises and equipment and intangibles, the provision for
loan losses, net amortization of securities and net changes in other assets and
liabilities. The net decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $3,642,000 was
primarily the result of a decrease in borrowed funds of $14,740,000 and increase
in loans of $4,207,000, off-set by cash provided in financing activities of
$16,043,000 related to an increase in deposits. For a more detailed illustration
of sources and uses of cash, refer to the condensed consolidated statements of
cash flows.

INFLATION
     Substantially all of the Company's assets and liabilities relate to banking
activities and are monetary in nature. The consolidated financial statements and
related financial data are presented in accordance with Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles (GAAP). GAAP currently requires the Company to measure the
financial position and results of operations in terms of historical dollars,
with the exception of securities available for sale, impaired loans and other
real estate loans which are measured at fair value. Changes in the value of
money due to rising inflation can cause purchasing power loss.

     Management's opinion is that movements in interest rates affects the
financial condition and results of operations to a greater degree than changes
in the rate of inflation. It should be noted that interest rates and inflation
do effect each other, but do not always move in correlation with each other. The
Company's ability to match the interest sensitivity of its financial assets to
the interest sensitivity of its liabilities in its asset/liability management
may tend to minimize the effect of changes in interest rates on the Company's
performance.

REGULATORY MATTERS
     The Company is subject to the regulatory requirements of The Federal
Reserve System as a multi-bank holding company. The affiliate banks are subject
to regulations of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and the State
of Ohio, Division of Financial Institutions.


                                                                              20

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

     The principal market risk affecting the Company is interest rate risk. The
Banks do not maintain a trading account for any class of financial instrument
and the Company is not affected by foreign currency exchange rate risk or
commodity price risk. Because the Banks do not hold any equity securities other
than stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati, which is not
significant, the Company is not subject to equity price risk.

     The Company and its Banks, like other financial institutions, are subject
to interest rate risk to the extent that its interest-earning assets reprice
differently than its interest-bearing liabilities. One of the principal
financial objectives is to achieve long-term profitability while reducing its
exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. The Company has sought to reduce
exposure of its earnings to changes in market interest rates by managing assets
and liability maturities and interest rates primarily by originating
variable-rate lending products, or if issued with a fixed interest rate, as is
the case with the indirect automobile portfolio, the term is rather short in
duration. Both the variable interests rates inherent in the commercial,
commercial real estate and real estate loan portfolios, and the short duration
loan products, mitigate the Company's exposure to dramatic interest rate
movements.

     The Company's securities are all fixed rate and are weighted more heavily
towards available for sale which accounts for 90% of the portfolio compared to
the 10% for held to maturity securities. The Company primarily invests in US
Agency obligations and State and Municipal obligations and has a modest amount
invested in mortgage-backed securities. Due to total securities approximating
32% of total assets and a significant portion of its loan portfolio consisting
of fixed rate loans, the Company is particularly sensitive to periods of rising
interest rates. In such periods, the Company's net interest spread is negatively
affected because the interest rate paid on deposits increases faster than the
rates earned on loans. Management is continuing to originate variable rate
mortgage loans as the primary means to manage this risk. In addition, the
Company also originates consumer and commercial loans, which make up a
significant percentage of the overall loan portfolio. Consumer loans typically
have a significantly shorter weighted-average maturity and offer less exposure
to interest rate risks while commercial loans generally carry variable interest
rates.

     Management measures the Company's interest rate risk by computing estimated
changes in net interest income and the net portfolio value ("NPV") of its cash
flows from assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet items in the event of a
range of assumed changes in market interest rates. Presented in the Company's
1999 Annual Report as of December 31, 1999, is an analysis of the Company's
interest rate risk as measured by changes in NPV for instantaneous and sustained
parallel shifts of 100 basis points in market interest rates. Management
believes that no events have occurred since December 31, 1999 which would
significantly change the Company's NPV at March 31, 2000 under each assumed
shifts of 100 basis points in market interest rates.

     The Company's NPV is more sensitive to increasing rates than decreasing
rates. Such difference in sensitivity occurs principally because, as rates rise,
the effect is offset on a short-term basis by the rather fixed nature of our
consumer loans and investment securities. This occurs even though the
commercial, commercial real estate and real estate portfolios are comprised of
variable rate products. Also in a rising rate environment consumers tend not to
prepay fixed rate loans as quickly as they would


                                                                              21

have had rates not changed dramatically. Moreover, the interest the Company pays
on its deposits would increase because deposits generally have shorter periods
to reprice.

     Certain shortcomings are inherent in the NPV method of analysis. Certain
assets such as adjustable-rate loans have features that restrict changes in
interest rates on a short-term basis and over the life of the asset. In
addition, the proportion of adjustable-rate loans in the Company's portfolio
could decrease in future periods if market interest rates remain at or decrease
below current levels due to refinancing activity. Further, in the event of a
change in interest rates, prepayment and early withdrawal levels would likely
deviate from those assumed in the analysis. Finally, the ability of many
borrowers to repay their adjustable-rate debt may decrease in the case of an
increase in interest rates.
