FIRST UNITED CORPORATION
Note to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 1996
Note A -- Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted account
ing principles for interim financial information and with the
instructions to Form 10-Q.  Accordingly, they do not include all
the information and footnotes required for complete financial
statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments con
sidered necessary for a fair presentation, consisting of normal
recurring items have been included.  Operating results for the
six month period ended June 30, 1996, are not necessarily indica
tive of the results that may be expected for the year ending
December 31, 1996.  The enclosed consolidated financial state
ments should be read in conjunction with the consolidated finan
cial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's
annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995.

     On January 17, 1996, the Board of Directors declared a 5%
stock dividend to shareholders of record on March 15, 1996, pay
able March 29, 1996. Earnings and dividends per share for prior
periods have been restated to reflect the stock dividend.

     Earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of
shares outstanding of 6,506 and 6,505 for the six months ended
June 30, 1996 and 1995, as restated for the 5% stock dividend
discussed above.

Note B -- Recently Issued Accounting Guidance

     In March 1995, the FASB issued Statements No. 121 "Accounting
for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets
to be Disposed of".  The Corporation was required to adopt State
ment No. 121 on January 1, 1996.  The Corporation has completed
the analysis of Statement No. 121 and has determined that the
effect of implementing this Statement was immaterial to the Cor
poration's financial position and results of operations.

Note C -- Recently Issued Accounting Guidance

     In June of 1996, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued Statement 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of
Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities", which pro
vides new accounting and reporting standards for sales, securiti
zation and servicing of receivables and other financial assets
and extinguishments of liabilities.  The provisions of the State
ment are to be applied to transactions occurring after December
31, 1996.  The Corporation is currently reviewing the provisions
of the Statement to determine what, if any, impact there will be
on the Company.

Part I.       Financial Information
Item II.      Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
                Condition and Results of Operations

   Consolidated net income for the quarter totaled $1.618 mil
lion, which is $.59 million more than was recorded for the second
quarter of 1995.  This translates into $.25 per share for the
current period.  For the same quarter of 1995, each share earned
$.16.  Return on average equity (ROAE) increased from 10.47 per
cent, at December 31, 1995, to 11.61 percent as of June 30, 1996.
The increase in income was the result of the corporation efforts
to improve efficiencies through consolidation of duplicate func
tions and the results of the corporation's 1995 restructuring
process, which was designed to position First United for contin
ued profitable growth.

   Consolidated net income for the six month period ended June
30, 1996 totaled $3.217 million, which is $.79 million more than
was recorded for the same period of 1995. This translates into
$.49 per share for the year. For the same period of 1995, each
share earned $.37

   The "efficiency ratio" is a key measuring tool for profitabil
ity and operating efficiency. The calculation for the efficiency
ratio is noninterest expense divided by net operating
revenue,(net interest income plus other operating income) exclud
ing nonrecurring items and securities gains and losses. A lower
ratio equals higher profitability and operating efficiencies. The
Corporation's efficiency ratio was -61.68 percent for the period
ended June 30, 1996.  This represents an improvement from year
end 1995 when the ratio was -67.33.  The improvement in our
efficiency ratio was the result of an increase in other operating
income and a decrease in other operating expenses.  Income from
fiduciary services increased by $131,000 to $600,000 in the sec
ond quarter of 1996 compared to the second quarter of 1995.  The
reduction in salaries and employee benefits expense from $4.510
million in June, 1995 to $4.456 million in June, 1996 was the
result of the benefits gained from an early retirement program
offered to eleven employees during 1995. Also as a result of the
Corporation's well capitalized position we were not assessed a
FDIC fee. This will result in annual savings of approximately
$.800 million before taxes. Other Operating income and Other
Operating expense in 1996 were $2.28 million and $8.56 million
compared to $1.94 million and $9.46 million in 1995.

     The corporation's interest expense as of June 30, 1996 was
$.947 higher than was recorded for the same period in 1995.
Interest expense increased $.339 million from the same quarter
last year. As interest rates continue to rise, it is of utmost
importance that we take advantage of increasing our deposit base,
which is a less expensive source of funding to support loan
growth versus other sources. The Corporation conducted a very

                                      -13-

successful deposit campaign during the first quarter of 1995
which increased deposits $16 million dollars. Through several
different deposit campaigns the Corporation has been able to keep
the majority of these deposits. Since December 31,1995, total
deposits have increased $7.160 million to $431.454 million.

     Net interest income for the first six months of 1996 increased
0.22 percent from the same period in 1995, to $11.139 million.
Although interest expense has increased, the Corporation's
Asset/Liability Management Committee has made a concerted effort
to obtain an optimal return on average assets (ROAA), as a result
ROAA was 1.32 percent at June 30, 1996 compared to 1.05 percent
at June 30, 1995. This improvement is due to the significant
improvement in net income. The result was a Corporate net inter
est margin of 5.05 percent in comparison to the net interest
margin of 5.19 percent at the end of year 1995.  The 5.05 percent
net interest margin, while not as favorable as the comparable
period in 1995, is within the expectations of the Corporation, as
deposit costs increase and market conditions continue to cause us
to revaluate our margin on loans.

     The provision for possible credit losses was $0.198 million
for the first six months of 1996 compared to no charge for the
same period in 1995.  Net charge-offs for the first six months
were $0.147 million, which equates to 0.04 percent of our net
loan total of $357.248 million.  First United Corporation contin
ues to place strong emphasis on maintaining a top quality loan
portfolio, achieved through stringent underwriting standards and
a consistent loan review process.

     Shareholders' equity increased to $56.353 million, a 5.19 per
cent increase from the second quarter of 1995, which was $53.574
million.  Risk based capital, which is an expression of the
Corporation's stability and security was 16.57 percent, which is
excess of the regulatory minimum of 8.00 percent.

     On January 17, 1996, the Board of Directors declared a five
percent stock dividend payable on March 29, 1996, to shareholders
on record at March 15, 1996.  The Corporation paid  cash
dividends of $.13 on February 1, 1996 and May 1, 1996. On July 3,
1996, the Corporation declared another dividend of equal amount,
to be paid August 1, 1996, to shareholders on record at July 18,
1996.

   On July 31, 1996, the Board of Directors ratified to implement
a stock buy back program. The Corporation has authority to
repurchase up to 5% of the outstanding shares of First United
Corporation at a price management deems appropriate.
