ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION


The following commentary presents management's discussion and analysis of the
Company's financial performance and financial condition for the first quarter
ended March 31, 2000. The discussion is a supplement to the Consolidated
Financial Statements and should be read in conjunction with those statements and
footnotes.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW: Union Bankshares, Ltd. (the "Company") reported net income of $670,000
for the quarter ended March 31, 2000, an increase of 127.9% from net income of
$294,000 for the first quarter of 1999. 2000 first quarter earnings were
positively impacted by a $1,093,000 increase in net interest income. These
improvements were offset by a $41,000 increase in provision for loan loss, a
$173,000 decrease in gain on sale of securities available for sale, a $347,000
increase in noninterest expense, and a $162,000 increase in income tax expense.
Net income per share (diluted) was $.26 for the three months ended March 31,
2000 compared to $.11 per share (diluted) for the same period in 1999. Return on
average assets and average equity were .73% and 13.94%, respectively, for the
first quarter of 2000 compared to .37% and 5.73%, respectively, for the first
quarter of 1999.

During the first quarter of 2000, the Bank's loan portfolio increased $11.9
million, its deposits increased $10.5 million, and its notes payable increased
$15.0 million.

INTEREST INCOME: Interest income increased $1,666,000, or 31.2%, to $7,003,000
for the first quarter of 2000 from $5,337,000 for the comparable 1999 period.
This increase results from a general rise in interest rates and an increase in
the Company's interest earning assets, primarily growth in loans, absolutely and
as a percentage of interest earning assets. The Company's net yield on interest
earning assets on a fully tax equivalent basis was 8.57% for the first quarter
of 2000, which reflects an increase of 72 basis points (each basis point equals
1/100 of 1%) from the comparable 1999 period. The average yield on loans
increased from 9.43% in the 1999 period to 9.86% in the 2000 period, and the
average yield on securities held by the Company increased from 6.30% in the 1999
period to 7.00% in the 2000 period. Interest income on loans was $1,237,000
greater in the 2000 period and interest income on securities increased $559,000
in the 2000 period.

INTEREST EXPENSE: Interest expense increased $573,000, or 27.1%, to $2,690,000
for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 from $2,117,000 for the quarter ended
March 31, 1999. This increase is primarily due to an increase of $38.6 million
in notes payable to the Federal Home Loan Bank of Topeka ("FHLB"). Average rates
paid on interest bearing deposits increased 3 basis points to 3.67% in the first
quarter of 2000 from 3.64% in the first quarter of 1999.


                                        9


<PAGE>


NET INTEREST INCOME: Net interest income before provision for loan loss was
$4,313,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2000, an increase of $1,093,000, or
33.9%, over the first quarter of 1999. Net interest margin increased 57 basis
points from 4.78% in the 1999 period to 5.35% in the 2000 period. The increase
in net interest income is primarily due to a $1,237,000 increase in interest
income on loans, and a $559,000 increase in interest income on investment
securities, partially offset by a $130,000 decrease in interest income on
federal funds sold, and a $573,000 increase in interest expense. The Company's
average cost of funds for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 was 33 basis points
higher than in the comparable 1999 period. The Company's average yield on
interest earning assets increased 72 basis points in the 2000 period compared to
the year earlier period from 7.84% to 8.57%.

NONINTEREST INCOME: Noninterest income decreased $167,000, or 31.4%, for the
quarter ended March 31, 2000 to $365,000 from $532,000 for the quarter ended
March 31, 1999. This decrease was primarily due to a $173,000 decrease in the
gain on sale of securities available for sale.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE: Noninterest expense increased $347,000, or 10.5%, for the
first quarter of 2000 to $3,659,000 compared to $3,312,000 in the first quarter
of 1999. A significant portion of this increase is increases in salaries and
benefits relating primarily to annual merit increases.


PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSS

The Company charged $86,000 to Provision for Loan Loss in the first quarter of
2000 and $45,000 for the same period in 1999. The ratio of loan loss reserve to
total loans was 1.46% at March 31, 2000 and 1.57% at December 31, 1999. The
Company sets its loan loss reserve at a level considered adequate to provide for
anticipated loan losses based on management's assessment of various factors
affecting the loan portfolio. These factors include a review of problem loans,
business conditions, loan loss experience and an overall evaluation of the
quality of the collateral, holding and disposal costs and costs of capital.
Provision for loan loss is a direct charge against income and is determined by
management based on the adequacy of the loan loss reserve.


LIQUIDITY AND SOURCES OF FUNDS

The Company's total assets increased to $376.1 million at March 31, 2000 from
$358.6 million at December 31, 1999. During the quarter ended March 31, 2000
deposits increased $10.5 million to $300.6 million at March 31, 2000 from $290.1
million at December 31, 1999. None of the Company's deposits at March 31, 2000
were brokered deposits.

The Company has established a revolving line of credit with Gold Banc in an
amount not to exceed $3.0 million. Any monies advanced under this line will be
used solely for the capital needs of the Company or to purchase the stock of
banks or bank holding companies. This line of credit will be available for one
year only, with renewals to be


                                       10


<PAGE>


negotiated each year.  There is currently no amount outstanding under
this line of credit.

On January 14, 1998, the Bank borrowed $10 million from the FHLB in the form of
two $5 million loans. The purpose of securing these loans was primarily to
provide liquidity and allow the Bank to limit its exposure relative to the
Available for Sale portion of its securities portfolio, as discussed below. The
first $5 million enabled management to reduce its current daily purchase of
Federal Funds from approximately $8 million to $3 million. With the remaining $5
million, the Bank purchased approximately $5 million in short-term U.S.
Government securities, which were placed in the Available for Sale portfolio.
This allowed the Bank to transfer approximately $5 million in long-term GNMA
mortgage pool securities with relatively high coupon yields to Held to Maturity,
which limits the Bank's capital exposure should interest rates increase. The
loans are structured as follows: $5 million at 6.34%, which matured and was
repaid January 14, 1999; and $5 million at 6.50%, which matured and was repaid
January 14, 2000.

During the first quarter of 2000, the Bank borrowed $55 million from the FHLB
with rates ranging from 5.82% to 6.04% and maturities ranging from one day to
three months. The purpose for these loans was to use an alternative source of
funding to fund current loan growth at a time when the Bank's deposits had not
increased and liquidation of a portion of the Bank's bond portfolio was not
believed to be prudent. The Company expects that these loans will be repaid with
liquidity from normal increases in deposits coupled with liquidity from the
Bank's bond portfolio.

During the first quarter of 2000, the Bank repaid $40 million of the FHLB loans.

Management anticipates that the Company will continue to rely primarily on
customer deposits, sales and maturities of investment securities, loan sales and
loan repayments, as well as retained earnings to provide liquidity. These funds
are used to make loans, to acquire investment securities and other assets and to
fund continuing operations. The Company believes that its customer deposits will
continue to provide a strong source of liquidity because of the high percentage
of core deposits, many of which are held as compensating balances under long-
standing loan relationships. As a secondary source of funds, management uses
federal funds and its membership in the FHLB.


ASSET QUALITY

The Company's lending activities are guided by its Statement of Lending Policies
and Procedures. These policies are annually reviewed and approved by the Bank's
Board of Directors. The Company supplements its internal supervision and audits
of its lending operation with independent examinations performed by professional
experienced consultants and auditors. The Company monitors concentrations of
loans by collateral, purpose and industry. The Company has no significant
exposure to highly


                                       11


<PAGE>


leveraged transactions and has no foreign credits in its loan portfolio.

Total nonperforming assets were $3,000 and $1,000 at March 31, 2000 and
December 31, 1999, respectively. Other Real Estate Owned (OREO) was $0 and $0 at
both March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999. At March 31, 2000 securities held to
maturity were $32.1 million, or 22.4% of the total portfolio. Securities
available for sale totaled $108.8 million, or 75.9% of the total portfolio.
Other securities (investment in FHLB stock) totaled $2.4 million, or 1.7% of the
total portfolio. Securities available for sale are those securities which may be
sold in response to changes in interest rates, changes in the Company's short
term liquidity needs or changes in prepayment risk, and are stated at the lower
of cost or estimated market value. At March 31, 2000, the amortized cost of
investments available for sale exceeded market value by approximately
$3,198,000.

Securities held to maturity are considered longer term assets which are normally
held until maturity and are carried at amortized cost. The carrying value of
securities held to maturity exceeded market value by approximately $544,000 at
March 31, 2000. U.S. government securities make up $117.2 million, or 81.7% of
the investment portfolio, and obligations of states and political subdivisions
(municipal securities), comprise $26.2 million, or 18.3% of the portfolio at
March 31, 2000.

As noted in the Company's Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1999,
management has generally sought to control the exposure of the Company's
securities portfolio to rising interest rates by maintaining a position within a
narrow range around an "earnings neutral position" (i.e. the mix of assets and
liabilities that generate a net interest margin that is least affected by
interest rate changes). The Company uses a measurement tool known as dollar
duration to help maintain an earnings neutral position. As of March 31, 2000,
the dollar duration of the investment portfolio was 4.70 compared to 4.50 at
December 31, 1999. The Company may also engage in hedging transactions to
control interest rate risk. The effect of these efforts in any given period may
be to negatively impact reported net non-interest income and the interest earned
on the securities.


CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's capital adequacy is a direct measurement of the overall financial
strength of the Company and its ability to absorb adverse market conditions. In
addition, the capital position of the Company provides a mechanism to promote
public confidence in the Company and the Bank.

The Company's total stockholders' equity increased $718,000 to $20.1 million at
March 31, 2000 from $19.4 million at December 31, 1999. This increase in
stockholders' equity was due to the retention of earnings in the current year,
the exercise of options to purchase 10,600 shares of common stock, and the net
effect of FAS 115 which requires financial institutions to mark their available
for sale securities portfolio to market.

The Federal Reserve Board and FDIC guidelines require a minimum of a 4% Tier 1
core capital to risk-weighted assets ratio and an 8% total qualifying capital to
risk-weighted assets ratio. Due to the Company's high level of capital and the
level of risk in its current asset mix, the Company's risk based capital ratios
exceed the regulatory minimum ratios. The Company's core capital to risk
weighted assets was 9.04% at March 31, 2000 and its total qualifying capital to
risk weighted assets was 11.32%. As of March 31, 2000 the Bank also exceeded the
minimum regulatory risk based capital ratios.
