per share further assumes the dilutive effect of additional common shares
issuable under stock options. The Company issued 5% stock dividends in May 2000
and 1999. Earnings per share, dividends per share and weighted average shares
have been restated to reflect these stock dividends.

NOTE 4 - STOCK OPTIONS
On April 18, 2000, Shareholders approved the Company's 1999 Stock Option Plan as
proposed. The plan is a Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan as defined under
Internal Revenue Service regulations. Under the Plan, Directors and management
of the Company and subsidiaries are given the right to purchase stock of the
Company at a stipulated price over a specific period of time.
The Plan is administered by a committee consisting of non-employee Directors of
the Company. The Committee determines: (a) The persons to whom options will be
granted (b) The number of shares included with each option, and, (c) The date on
which each option is to be granted. In making decisions for the above criteria,
the Committee may consider input provided by the Bank's senior management. All
grants are subject to approval by the Board of Directors. The Plan will continue
in effect for five years, unless the plan is extended with the approval of
shareholders.
The stock subject to the options would be shares of authorized and unissued
common stock of the Company. As defined in the Plan, options representing no
more than 109,000 shares are to be made available to the Plan.
Options under this plan are granted to Directors and certain key members of
management at the then-current market price at the time the option is granted.
The options have a three-year vesting period, and with certain exceptions,
expire at the end of ten years, or three years after retirement.
Under the Company's 1999 stock option plan, 30,550 options were granted on May
10, 2000 at the then-current market price. The weighted fair value of the
options granted was $5.94.

dividends. Accordingly, no compensation cost was recorded for the three and nine
month periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999.

ITEM 2- MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This discussion provides information about the consolidated financial condition
and results of operations of United Bancorp, Inc. and its subsidiary, United
Bank & Trust ("Bank") for the three and nine month periods ending September 30,
2000 and 1999.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
SECURITIES
Balances in the Company's investment securities portfolio remained relatively
flat during the third quarter of 2000. Principal repayments on mortgage backed
securities and maturities within the various portfolios were substantially
offset by purchases within the municipal bond portfolio. The mix of the
securities portfolio has gradually changed in the past year, as a result of an
increased emphasis on municipal issues with less focus on mortgage-backed and
asset-backed securities. The chart below shows the mix of the portfolio.

LOANS
Loan growth during the third quarter of 2000 remained steady. For the quarter,
annualized loan growth was 7.8%, compared to nine month annualized growth of
12.0%. All categories of loans other than construction and tax exempt loans
experienced growth during the quarter, with the dollars spread relatively evenly
among the portfolios. The decline in construction loans was offset by an
increase in residential real estate loans as the building season approached
seasonal slowdowns in home construction.
The mix of the loan portfolio has remained relatively unchanged from the prior
quarter, but continues a long-term trend is toward an increased percentage of
residential mortgage and business loans, with slight declines in personal loans.
Sale of the Bank's credit card portfolio at the end of June resulted in a
decline in personal loans as of June 30.
The table below shows total loans outstanding, in thousands of dollars at
September 30, 2000 and 1999 and December 31, 1999 and their percentage of the
total loan portfolio. All loans are domestic and contain no concentrations by
industry or client.

</TABLE>
CREDIT QUALITY
The Company continues to maintain a high level of asset quality compared to
peers, as a result of actively monitoring delinquencies, nonperforming assets
and potential problem loans. In addition, the Bank uses an independent loan
review firm to assess the continued quality of its business loan portfolio.
Nonperforming loans are comprised of (1) loans accounted for on a nonaccrual
basis; (2) loans contractually past due 90 days or more as to interest or
principal payments (but not included in the nonaccrual loans in (1) above); and
(3) other loans whose terms have been renegotiated to provide a reduction or
deferral of interest or principal because of a deterioration in the financial
position of the borrower (exclusive of loans in (1) or (2) above).
The chart below shows the aggregate amount of the Company's nonperforming assets
by type, in thousands of dollars, as of September 30, 2000 and 1999, and
December 31, 1999. The Company's classification of nonperforming loans is
generally consistent with loans identified as impaired.

<PAGE> 11
Nonperforming assets are at their lowest point in recent periods, as credit
quality remains quite strong for the organization. Balances in nonaccrual loans
are well below those achieved at the end of the third quarter last year and the
end of 1999, but are up slightly from June 30, 2000 levels. Delinquencies were
down from second quarter 2000 totals and are at very acceptable levels. The
Company's ratios of nonperforming assets are in line with other banks of similar
size and makeup.
The Company's allowance for loan losses remains at a level consistent with its
anticipated potential losses. The provision provides for currently anticipated
losses inherent in the current portfolio. Charge-offs for the year have been
lower than during previous periods, resulting in an increase in the allowance.
The Company retains some liability for a limited time on the portfolio of credit
card loans that were sold during the second quarter of 2000. As a result,
$100,000 was transferred from the Company's allowance for loan losses to a
contingent liability account. That transfer is reflected in the chart below.
An analysis of the allowance for loan losses, in thousands of dollars, for the

The Company has increased its provision for loan losses over the same period in
1999 as a result of an increase in loan volume. This increase in the provision,
which reflects increased anticipated losses in the loan portfolio, is also
reflected in changes made during the first quarter of 2000 in the method of
allocation of the allowance for loan losses. During the third quarter of 2000,
the Company reduced its monthly provision to better reflect its estimates of
losses inherent in the portfolio. The following table presents the allocation of
the allowance for loan losses applicable to each loan category in thousands of
dollars, as of September 30, 2000 and 1999, and December 31, 1999.

</TABLE>
The allocation method used prior to the first quarter of 2000 was based on
account-specific allocations for identified credits and the four-year historical
loss average, in order to determine allocations by portfolio. Effective with the
first quarter of 2000, the allocation method was modified to incorporate recent
trends in the rate of net charge-offs and delinquency in the business and
commercial mortgage portfolio, resulting in an increased percentage of the
allowance allocated to that segment of the loan portfolio.
Construction loans are short-term and are converted to residential or commercial
mortgages on the books of the Company. These loans do not typically result in a
loss during the construction phase. Therefore, any allocation for construction
loans is applied to the category of loan where the final loan resides, rather
than to construction loans.

DEPOSITS
The Company experienced excellent growth in total deposits during the third
quarter, following minimal growth during the second quarter. Total deposit
growth during the quarter was $16.3 million. Year to date annualized deposit
growth is 9.1%, with annualized growth for the quarter of 17.7%. This deposit
growth was primarily in interest bearing deposits, and reflects continued growth
and expansion, as well as some desire on the part of consumers to return to the
relative safety of bank deposit products. Management anticipates that deposit
growth during 2000 will continue to be steady, with continued expansion in new
and existing markets.
LIQUIDITY
The Bank significantly reduced its average federal funds borrowed position for
the third quarter of 2000 as a result of deposit growth in excess of loan
demand. Generally the Bank moves in and out of the fed funds market as liquidity
needs vary, and the Company remains in an average net borrowed position for the
year. Borrowings decreased significantly from December 31, 1999 and June 30,
2000, and Management anticipates that deposit and loan growth will cause
continued variation in the short term funds position of the Bank. The Company
has a number of additional liquidity sources should the need arise, and
Management has no concerns for the liquidity position of the Company.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
The capital ratios of the Company exceed the regulatory guidelines for well
capitalized institutions. The following table shows the Company's capital ratios
and ratio calculations at September 30, 2000 and 1999, and December 31, 1999.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
NET INTEREST INCOME
Both yields on earning assets and cost of funds increased for 2000 compared to
1999. The net result was a tightening of spread and net interest margin. This
tightening is primarily a result of the Company's interest liability-sensitive
position, reflecting a risk to earnings when interest rates rise. Rising
interest rates during the year have resulted in the expected decline in
margin. However, the Company's margin remains quite strong, and Management
continues to take steps to neutralize some portion of this risk. The following
table shows the year to date daily average Consolidated Balance Sheets, interest
earned (on a taxable equivalent basis) or paid, and the annualized effective
yield or rate, for the periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999.

As noted from the data in the following table, the greatest portion of
improvement in interest income during the first nine months of 2000 came as a
result of changes in volume. At the same time, increases in interest expense
were distributed fairly evenly between changes in volume and rate. The net
result is an increase in net interest income, resulting from improvements in
volumes in excess of declines caused by rate. The following table shows the
effect of volume and rate changes on net interest income for the nine months
ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 on a taxable equivalent basis, in thousands of

</TABLE>
(a) The change in interest due to both rate and volume has been allocated to
volume and rate changes in proportion to the relationship of the absolute
dollar amounts of the change in each.
NONINTEREST INCOME
Total noninterest income remains strong for the year. Income from loan sales and
servicing, and sales of nondeposit investment products are down slightly from
the high levels achieved in 1999. However, all other areas are improved, and
total noninterest income exceeds prior periods by a significant amount.
Service charges on deposit accounts remain ahead of 1999 levels, and are 14.1%
over 1999 year to date, as a result of continued deposit growth in transaction
accounts and restructuring of the Company's deposit account product structure
during mid-1999.
The Bank's Trust & Investment Group continues to provide significant
contribution to the Company's noninterest income, through continued growth and
expansion. Fee income in the Trust & Investment Group is up 26.4% over the same
quarter of 1999 and up 33.7% year to date. Shifts in the mix of the types of
accounts managed has increased fee income while assets under management have
experienced considerable growth.
Income from loan sales and servicing continues to be depressed from previous
periods, reflecting a decline in residential mortgages being sold in the
secondary market. This decline results from a shift in client preference to
variable rate loans, which the Bank retains in its portfolio. Mortgage loan
refinancing has also declined from 1999 levels, resulting in fewer loans sold
during 2000.
In June of 2000, the Bank sold its portfolio of credit card loans. The sale
resulted in a net addition to noninterest income during the second quarter of
$308,000. Other income increased 22.1% year to date over the same period of
1999.

<PAGE> 15
NONINTEREST EXPENSES
Noninterest expense is virtually flat from the second quarter of 2000, and
showed modest increases over comparable periods of 1999. Total noninterest
expense, excluding provision for loan losses, for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 was 6.8% above the same period for 1999, reflecting continued
growth and expansion of the Bank. At the same time, total noninterest expense
increased just 4.4% over the second quarter of 1999. The largest increases are
seen in the compensation and occupancy expenses, reflecting the Company's
continued growth and expansion in various markets.
FEDERAL INCOME TAX
There has been no significant change in the income tax position of the Company
during the third quarter of 2000. The increase in federal income tax for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2000 as compared to the same periods
for 1999 in the result of higher pre-tax income and slightly less tax exempt
income in the 2000 periods as compared to the 1999 periods.
NET INCOME
Consolidated net income exceeded that of the third quarter of 1999 by 2.8%, and
is ahead of 1999 year to date by 9.5%. Management anticipates that net income
will continue to remain strong for the remainder of the year, although second
quarter earnings were helped by non-recurring gains on the sale of the Bank's
credit card portfolio as discussed above under "Noninterest Income." Preliminary
work relating to expansion of the Company's service area may result in some
increase in expenses during the fourth quarter of 2000.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Statements contained in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations include forward-looking statements that are
based on management's beliefs, assumptions, current expectations, estimates and
projections about the financial services industry, the economy, and about the
Company itself. Words such as "anticipate," "believe," "determine," "estimate,"
"expect," "forecast," "intend," "is likely," "plan," "project," "opinion,"
variations of such terms, and similar expressions are intended to identify such
forward-looking statements. The presentations and discussions of the provision
and allowance for loan losses, and determinations as to the need for other
allowances presented in this report are inherently forward-looking statements in
that they involve judgements and statements of belief as to the outcome of
future events. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and
involve certain risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that are difficult to
predict with regard to timing, extent, likelihood, and degree of occurrence.
Therefore, actual results and outcomes may materially differ from what may be
expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. Internal and
external factors that may cause such a difference include changes in interest
rates and interest rate relationships; demand for products and services; the
degree of competition by traditional and non-traditional competitors; changes in
banking laws and regulations; changes in tax laws; changes in prices, levies,
and assessments; the impact of technological advances; governmental and
regulatory policy changes; the outcomes of pending and future litigation and
contingencies; trends in customer behavior and customer ability to repay loans;
software failure, errors or miscalculations; the ability of other companies on
which the Company relies to be Year 2000 compliant; the ability of the Company
to locate and correct all data sensitive computer code; and the vicissitudes of
the national economy. The Company undertakes no obligation to update, amend or
clarify forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information,
future events, or otherwise.

ITEM 3- QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
FUNDS MANAGEMENT AND INTEREST RATE RISK
The composition of the Company's balance sheet consists of investments in
interest earning assets (loans and investment securities) that are funded by
interest bearing liabilities (deposits and borrowings). These financial
instruments have varying levels of sensitivity to changes in market interest
rates resulting in market risk. Bank policies place strong emphasis on
stabilizing net interest margin, with the goal of providing a sustained level of
satisfactory earnings. The Funds Management, Investment and Loan policies
provide direction for the flow of funds necessary to supply the needs of
depositors and borrowers. Management of interest sensitive assets and
liabilities is also necessary to reduce interest rate risk during times of
fluctuating interest rates.
A number of measures are used to monitor and manage interest rate risk,
including interest sensitivity and income simulation analyses. An interest
sensitivity model is the primary tool used to assess this risk with supplemental
information supplied by an income simulation model. The simulation model is used
to estimate the effect that specific interest rate changes would have on twelve
months of pretax net interest income assuming an immediate and sustained up or
down parallel change in interest rates of 200 basis points. Key assumptions in
the models include prepayment speeds on mortgage related assets; cash flows and
maturities of financial instruments held for purposes other than trading;
changes in market conditions, loan volumes and pricing; and management's
determination of core deposit sensitivity. These assumptions are inherently
uncertain and, as a result, the models cannot precisely estimate net interest
income or precisely predict the impact of higher or lower interest rates on net
interest income. Actual results will differ from simulated results due to
timing, magnitude, and frequency of interest rate changes and changes in market
conditions.
Based on the results of the simulation model as of September 30, 2000, the
Company would expect a maximum potential reduction in net interest margin of
less than 5% if market rates increased under an immediate and sustained parallel
shift of 200 basis points. The Bank's interest sensitivity position remained
substantially unchanged from the previous quarter.
The Company's exposure to market risk is reviewed on a regular basis by the
Funds Management Committee. The Committee's policy objective is to manage the
Company's assets and liabilities to provide an optimum and consistent level of
earnings within the framework of acceptable risk standards.
The Funds Management Committee of the Bank is also responsible for evaluating
and anticipating various risks other than interest rate risk. Those risks
include prepayment risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Committee is made
up of senior members of management, and continually monitors the makeup of
interest sensitive assets and liabilities to assure appropriate liquidity,
maintain interest margins and to protect earnings in the face of changing
interest rates and other economic factors.
The Funds Management policy of the Bank provides for a level of interest
sensitivity which, Management believes, allows the Bank to take advantage of
opportunities within the market relating to liquidity and interest rate risk,
allowing flexibility without subjecting the Bank to undue exposure to risk. In
addition, other measures are used to evaluate and project the anticipated
results of Management's decisions.
