                                     PART I

ITEM 1 - BUSINESS
United Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated on May 31, 1985 as a
business corporation under the Michigan Business Corporation Act, pursuant to
the authorization and direction of the Directors of United Bank & Trust (the
"Bank").

The Company is a bank holding company registered with the Board of Governors of
the Federal Reserve System under the Bank Holding Company Act, with the Bank as
its only wholly-owned subsidiary. The Bank was acquired by the Company effective
January 1, 1986. The Company has corporate power to engage in such activities as
permitted to business corporations under the Michigan Business Corporation Act,
subject to the limitations of the Bank Holding Company Act and regulations of
the Federal Reserve System. In general, the Bank Holding Company Act and
regulations restrict the Company with respect to its own activities and
activities of any subsidiaries to the business of banking or such other
activities which are closely related to the business of banking.

United Savings Bank opened in 1933 as a result of a merging of charters of
Lilley State Bank and Tecumseh State Savings Bank. Since that time, the Bank has
grown from a single office in Tecumseh to fifteen offices located in three
counties in Southeast Michigan. The Bank changed its name to United Bank & Trust
on January 1, 1992, at the time it acquired Thompson Savings Bank in Hudson, and
remains the Company's sole subsidiary.

The Bank offers a full range of services to individuals, corporations,
fiduciaries and other institutions. Banking services include checking, NOW
accounts, savings, time deposit accounts, money market deposit accounts, safe
deposit facilities and money transfers. Lending operations provide real estate
loans, secured and unsecured business and personal loans, consumer installment
loans, credit card and check-credit loans, home equity loans, accounts
receivable and inventory financing, equipment lease financing and construction
financing.

The Bank's Trust & Investment Group offers a wide variety of fiduciary services
to individuals, corporations and governmental entities, including services as
trustee for personal, corporate, pension, profit sharing and other employee
benefit trusts. The department provides securities custody services as an agent,
acts as the personal representative for estates and as a fiscal, paying and
escrow agent for corporate customers and governmental entities.

The Bank offers the sale of nondeposit investment products through licensed
representatives in its banking offices. In addition, the Bank is a co-owner of
Michigan Banker's Title Insurance Company of Mid-Michigan LLC, and derives
income from the sale of title insurance to its loan customers.

Banking services are delivered through a system of fifteen banking offices plus
thirteen automated teller machines, in Lenawee, Washtenaw, and Monroe Counties,
Michigan. The business base of the area is primarily agricultural and light
manufacturing, with its manufacturing sector exhibiting moderate dependence on
the automotive and refrigeration and air conditioning industries. The Bank
maintains correspondent bank relationships with a small number of larger banks,
which involve check clearing operations, securities safekeeping, transfer of
funds, loan participation, and the purchase and sale of federal funds and other
similar services.

Supervision and Regulation 

As a bank holding company within the meaning of the Bank Holding Company Act,
the Company is required by said Act to file annual reports of its operations and
such additional information as the Board of Governors may require and is
subject, along with its subsidiaries, to examination by the Board of Governors.
The Federal Reserve is the primary regulator of the Company.

The Bank Holding Company Act requires every bank holding company to obtain prior
approval of the Board of Governors before it may merge with or consolidate into
another bank holding company, acquire substantially all the assets of any bank,
or acquire ownership or control of any voting shares of any bank if after such
acquisition it would own or control, directly or indirectly, more than 5% of the
voting shares of such bank holding company or bank. The Board of Governors may
not approve the acquisition by the Company of voting shares or substantially all
the assets of any bank located in any state other than Michigan unless the laws
of such other state specifically authorize such an acquisition. The Bank Holding
Company Act also prohibits a bank holding company, with certain exceptions, from
acquiring direct or indirect ownership or control of more than 5% of the voting
shares of any company which is not a bank and from engaging in any business
other than that of banking, managing and controlling banks or furnishing
services to banks and their subsidiaries. However, holding companies may engage
in, and may own shares of companies engaged in, certain businesses found by the
Board of Governors to be so closely related to banking or the management or
control of banks as to be a proper incident thereto.

Under current regulations of the Board of Governors, a holding company and its
nonbank subsidiaries are permitted, among other activities, to engage, subject
to certain specified limitations, in such banking related business ventures as
sales and consumer finance, equipment leasing, computer service bureau and
software operations, data processing and services transmission, discount
securities brokerage, mortgage banking and brokerage, sale and leaseback and
other forms of real estate banking. The Bank Holding Company Act does not place
territorial restrictions on the activities of nonbank subsidiaries of bank
holding companies. In addition, federal legislation prohibits acquisition of
"control" of a bank or bank holding company without prior notice to certain
federal bank regulators. "Control" in certain cases may include the acquisition
of as little as 10% of the outstanding shares of capital stock.

Michigan's banking laws restrict the payment of cash dividends by a state bank
by providing, subject to certain exceptions, that dividends may be paid only out
of net profits then on hand after deducting therefrom its losses and bad debts
and no dividends may be paid unless the bank will have a surplus amounting to
not less than twenty percent (20%) of its capital after the payment of the
dividend.

United Bank & Trust is a Michigan banking corporation, and as such is subject to
the regulation of, and supervision and regular examination by, the Michigan
Financial Institutions Bureau ("FIB") and also the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation ("FDIC"). The FIB is the primary regulator of the Bank. Deposit
accounts of the Bank are insured by the FDIC. Requirements and restrictions
under the laws of the United States and the State of Michigan include the
requirement that banks maintain reserves against deposits, restrictions on the
nature and amount of loans which may be made by a bank and the interest that may
be charged thereon, restrictions on the payment of interest on certain deposits
and restrictions relating to investments and other activities of a bank.

The Federal Reserve Board has established guidelines for risk-based capital by
bank holding companies. These guidelines establish a risk adjusted ratio
relating capital to risk-weighted assets and off-balance-sheet exposures. These
capital guidelines primarily define the components of capital, categorize assets
into different risk classes, and include certain off-balance-sheet items in the
calculation of capital requirements. Tier I capital consists of shareholders'
equity less intangible assets and unrealized gain or loss on securities
available for sale, and Tier 2 capital consists of Tier 1 capital plus
qualifying loan loss reserves.

The capital ratios of the Company exceed the regulatory guidelines for well
capitalized institutions, and in conjunction with regulatory ratings, have
qualified the Bank for the lowest FDIC insurance rate available to insured
financial institutions. Information in Note 18 on Page A-31 of the Company's
Proxy provides additional information regarding the Company's capital ratios,
and is incorporated herein by reference.

Information regarding accounting standards adopted by the Company are discussed
on Pages A-22 and A-23 of the Company's Proxy, and is incorporated herein by
reference.

Competition
The banking business in the Bank's service area is highly competitive. In its
market, the Bank competes with credit unions, savings associations, and various
finance companies and loan production offices. This competition is in addition
to a number of community banks and subsidiaries of large multi-state, multi-bank
holding companies.

The Company believes that the market perceives a competitive benefit to an
independent, locally controlled commercial bank. Much of the Bank's competition
comes from affiliates of organizations controlled from outside the area. Against
these competitors, the Bank continues to expand its loan and deposit portfolios.
Coupled with the fact that the Company offers the only locally-based trust
department in Lenawee County, this local focus has provided a significant
competitive advantage.

Employees
On December 31, 1998, the Bank employed 157 full-time and 33 part-time
employees. This compares to 149 full time and 38 part time employees as of
December 31, 1997. The Company has no full time employees. Its operation and
business are carried out by officers and employees of the Bank, who are not
compensated by the Company.

and is incorporated herein by reference.

At December 31, 1998, the Bank had two loans, other than those disclosed above,
for a total of $205,000 which would cause management to have concerns as to the
ability of the borrowers to comply with the present loan repayment terms. These
loans were included on the Bank's "watch list" and were classified as impaired,
however, payments are current.

(D)     OTHER INTEREST BEARING ASSETS

As of December 31, 1998, there were no other interest bearing assets that would
be required to be disclosed under Item III, Parts (C)(1) or (C)(2) of the Loan
Portfolio listing if such assets were loans.

</TABLE>

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level believed adequate by
Management to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Management's
determination of the adequacy of the allowance is based on an evaluation of the
portfolio, past loan loss experience, current economic conditions, volume,
amount and composition of the loan portfolio, and other factors. The provision
charged to earnings was $1,248,000 in 1998, compared to $1,255,000 in 1997 and
$628,000 in 1996. The allowance is based on the analysis of the loan portfolio
and a four year historical average of net charge offs to average loans of 0.34%
of the portfolio.
