The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and, accordingly, the results of
PFC from  January  16,  1997  through  September  30,  1997 are  included in the
accompanying  unaudited  consolidated  financial statements.  To facilitate this
transaction, and provide operating funds, United issued 70,989 additional shares
of its common stock for cash proceeds totaling $7,529,010,  received $11,000,000
from  the  proceeds  of the  sale of  United's  junior  subordinated  deferrable
interest debentures, and incurred acquisition indebtedness totaling $22,000,000.
The remaining  balance of $7,359,335 was obtained from cash on hand. The deposit
base premium will be  amortized on an  accelerated  basis over a ten year period
and the  cost  in  excess  of net  assets  acquired  will  be  amortized  over a
twenty-five year period.

Note 2.  Pro Forma Results of Operations

The  unaudited  summarized  pro forma  consolidated  statement of income for the
three months ended and nine months  ended  September  30, 1996 is as follows and
assumes that the  transaction was consummated on January 1, 1996. This unaudited
pro forma  consolidated  statement of income does not purport to represent  what
United's  results of operations  would actually have been if the transaction had
occurred on January 1, 1996.

The adjustments recorded reflect the effects of push-down accounting  allocating
the purchase price paid to the assets and  liabilities  acquired,  the effect of
additional borrowings resulting in increased interest expense, the dividend paid
on the preferred securities and the related tax effects of the adjustments.

The results of operations for the period January 16, 1997 through  September 30,
1997 are not materially  different from what they would have been on a pro forma
basis for the period January 1, 1997 through September 30, 1997.

Note 3.  Company-obligated Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Securities of United
Capital Trust

On January 16, 1997,  United  Capital Trust I (the Trust),  a Delaware  business
trust wholly-owned by United,  completed the sale of $11,000,000 of 9.75 percent
preferred  securities  (the Preferred  Securities).  The Trust used the proceeds
from the offering to purchase a like amount of 9.75 percent Junior  Subordinated
Deferrable  Interest  Debentures (the Debentures) of United.  The Debentures are
the sole assets of the Trust and are  eliminated,  along with the related income
statement effects,  in the consolidated  financial  statements.  United used the
proceeds  from the sale of the  Debentures to provide a portion of the financing
for the acquisition of PFC.

The Preferred Securities accrue and pay dividends quarterly at an annual rate of
9.75 percent of the stated  liquidation  amount of $25 per  Preferred  Security.
United has fully and  unconditionally  guaranteed all of the  obligations of the
Trust.  The  guarantee  covers  the  quarterly  distributions  and  payments  on
liquidation or redemption of the Preferred Securities, but only to the extent of
funds held by the Trust.

The Preferred  Securities are  mandatorily  redeemable  upon the maturity of the
Debentures,  on January 15, 2027 or upon earlier  redemption  as provided in the
Indenture. United has the right to redeem the Debentures on or after January 15,
2002.

Note 4.   Common Stock Owned by Employee Stock Ownership Plan Participants

Under the terms of the Employee Stock  Ownership Plan (ESOP),  participants  who
have been terminated may elect to have their  distributions made in cash, United
common stock, or both. If stock  distributed  under the plan to a participant is
not readily tradable on an established market, the participant has the option to
require United to purchase the stock distributed.

The  Securities  and Exchange  Commission's  Accounting  Series  Release No. 268
required  that  to  the  extent  there  are  conditions   (regardless  of  their
probability of occurrence)  whereby holders of equity securities may demand cash
in exchange for their securities,  United must reflect the maximum possible cash
requirements  related  to those  securities  outside  of  stockholders'  equity.
Accordingly,  the common stock owned by the ESOP  participants  was reflected on
the accompanying balance sheet at its fair value at December 31, 1996.

As of April 1, 1997,  the ESOP was  amended to allow it to assume the put option
of United.  As a result of this amendment,  ASR 268 no longer applies to United.
Accordingly,  United  reclassified  shares  of  common  stock  owned by the ESOP
participants to stockholders' equity at its historical cost.

Note 5.   Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share is computed  using net income  applicable to common stock and
the  weighted  average  number of common  and  common  stock  equivalent  shares
outstanding.  The common stock  equivalent  shares  outstanding  were calculated
using the treasury stock method and are excluded because the aggregate  dilution
from the common  stock  equivalents  is less than three  percent of earnings per
share  outstanding.  In addition,  common  equivalent  shares  outstanding  were
calculated  assuming that certain options were converted into shares of United's
common stock at the beginning of the first period shown.

In February 1997, the Financial  Accounting  Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting  Standards No. 128 ("FAS 128"),  "Earnings Per Share." This
Statement is effective for financial  statements issued for periods ending after
December 15, 1997 and supersedes  APB Opinion No. 15,  "Earnings Per Share." The
Statement  replaces the presentation of primary EPS with a presentation of basic
EPS. It also requires dual  presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of

ITEM 2.           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                  CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION.

Basis of Presentation

The following  discussion and analysis provides  information  regarding United's
unaudited  results of operations for the quarter and nine months ended September
30, 1997 and 1996 and financial  condition as of September 30, 1997 and December
31, 1996.  This  discussion  and  analysis  should be read in  conjunction  with
United's Unaudited  Consolidated  Financial Statements submitted under Item 1 of
Part I and United's 1996 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The  comparison  of 1997  data to 1996  data is  substantially  affected  by the
acquisition of PFC on January 16, 1997.

In recent years,  significant new federal  legislation has imposed  numerous new
legal and regulatory requirements on financial institutions.  In addition to the
uncertainties  posed by  possible  legislative  change,  there  are  many  other
uncertainties  that may  make  United's  historical  performance  an  unreliable
indicator of its future performance, and forward-looking information,  including
projections  of future  performance,  is subject to  numerous  possible  adverse
developments,  including but not limited to the possibility of adverse  economic
developments  which may increase default and delinquency  risks in United's loan
portfolio;  shifts in  interest  rates  which may result in  shrinking  interest
margins; deposit outflows;  interest rates on competing investments;  demand for
financial  services  and  loan  products;  increases  generally  in  competitive
pressure in the banking and financial services  industry;  changes in accounting
policies  or  guidelines,  or  monetary  and  fiscal  policies  of  the  Federal
government;  changes  in  the  quality  or  composition  of  United's  loan  and
investment portfolios; or other significant uncertainties.

Overview

United's net income for the quarter ended September 30, 1997 decreased $7,297 or
0.6% to $1,116,158 from $1,123,455 for the quarter ended September 30, 1996.

United's  net income for the nine months  ended  September  30,  1997  increased
$248,071  or 7.3% to  $3,652,997  from  $3,404,926  for the  nine  months  ended
September 30, 1996. Total assets at September 30, 1997 increased $220,824,232 or
48.1% to $679,962,005 from $459,137,773 at December 31, 1996.

Results of Operations

Net Interest Income

Net  interest  income  for  the  quarter  ended  September  30,  1997  increased
$2,789,488  or  56.0%  to  $7,768,646  from  $4,979,158  for the  quarter  ended
September 30, 1996. PFC  contributed  $2,459,254 to net interest  income for the
quarter ended September 30, 1997.

Net  interest  income for the nine months  ended  September  30, 1997  increased
$7,365,363 or 50.6% to $21,920,827  from  $14,555,464  for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996. PFC  contributed  $6,948,199 to net interest  income for the
period from January 16, 1997 through  September  30, 1997.  Interest  expense on
notes  payable  increased  $1,020,201  from  $767,214  for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 to $1,787,415  for the nine months ended  September 30, 1997.
This  increase  is due to the  additional  borrowing  incurred  to  finance  the
acquisition of PFC.

Net interest income was positively  impacted by an increase of $190.0 million or
49.1% in average  interest-earning  assets to $576.8 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1997 from $386.8 million for the nine months ended September
30,   1996,   and  by  an  increase  of  .20%  in  average   yields  on  average
interest-earning  assets to 8.83% for the nine months ended  September  30, 1997
from 8.63% for the nine months ended  September 30, 1996. The positive impact to
net interest  income was partially  offset by the increase of $154.8  million or
47.9% in average  interest-bearing  liabilities  to $477.7  million for the nine
months ended  September  30, 1997 from $322.9  million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 and an increase in the rate paid on average  interest-bearing
liabilities  of .21% to 4.53% for the nine months ended  September 30, 1997 from
4.32% for the nine months ended  September  30, 1996.  Average  interest-earning
assets and average interest-bearing liabilities increased due to the acquisition
of PFC. The net interest spread declined .01% to 4.30% for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 from 4.31% for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 while
net interest margin increased to 5.08% from 5.03%.

lease  losses  of  $51,175  for  the  quarter  ended  September  30,  1996.  PFC
contributed  $102,050  to the  consolidated  provision  for  the  quarter  ended
September 30, 1997. The provision for loan and lease losses was $654,625 for the
nine months ended September 30, 1997, an increase of $508,802 over the provision
for loan and lease losses of $145,823 for the nine months  ended  September  30,
1996. PFC contributed $261,650 to the consolidated provision for the period from
January 16, 1997 through  September 30, 1997.  Fluctuations in the provision for
loan and  lease  losses  result  from  management's  regular  assessment  of the
adequacy of the allowance for loan and lease losses. See Discussion on Allowance
for Loan and Lease Losses.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest  income consists  mainly of service charges on deposit  accounts and
other service fees,  earnings on cash surrender value of life insurance and gain
on sale of assets.  Noninterest  income was  $1,635,333  for the  quarter  ended
September 30, 1997, an increase of $577,426 or 54.6% over noninterest  income of
$1,057,907 for the quarter ended September 30, 1996. PFC contributed $506,810 of
noninterest  income for the quarter  ended  September  30, 1997.  The  remaining
increase of $70,616 includes a gain on sale of investment securities of $24,645.
Noninterest  income was $5,066,252 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997,
an increase of $1,618,263 or 46.9% over noninterest income of $3,447,989 for the
nine months ended September 30, 1996. PFC contributed  $1,399,811 of noninterest
income for the period from January 16, 1997  through  September  30,  1997.  The
remaining  increase of $218,452 is  primarily  due to an increase of $189,892 in
service charges and an increase of $28,560 in other noninterest income.

Noninterest Expenses

Noninterest  expenses  consist of salaries  and  employee  benefits,  occupancy,
depreciation,  amortization of intangibles,  minority interest expense of United
Capital  Trust I and other  miscellaneous  expenses.  Noninterest  expenses were
$7,453,677  for the quarter ended  September 30, 1997, an increase of $3,234,818
or 76.7% over noninterest expenses of $4,218,859 for the quarter ended September
30, 1996. PFC  contributed  $2,390,112 in  noninterest  expenses for the quarter
ended  September  30,  1997.  The  remaining  increase of $844,706 is  primarily
attributed  to an increase of $610,219 in salaries  and  employee  benefits,  an
increase of $268,125 in minority  interest expense of United Capital Trust I and
a decrease of $33,638 in other expenses.  Noninterest  expenses were $20,463,471
for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, an increase of $7,688,754 or 60.2%
over noninterest expenses of $12,774,717 for the nine months ended September 30,
1996. PFC  contributed  $5,958,897 in  noninterest  expenses for the period from
January  16,  1997  through  September  30,  1997.  The  remaining  increase  of
$1,729,857 is primarily due to an increase in salaries and employee  benefits of
$1,021,658; an increase of

                                       16

<PAGE>



$35,750 in occupancy expenses; an increase of $70,975 in depreciation expense; a
decrease of $203,194 in amortization of intangibles;  an increase of $759,688 in
minority  interest  expense of United Capital Trust I and an increase of $44,980
in other miscellaneous  expenses. The increase in salaries and employee benefits
is primarily due to salary adjustments and staffing  increases.  The increase in
depreciation  expense is primarily due to the  additional  space added to Signal
Bank in January, 1997. The decrease in amortization of intangibles is due to one
covenant not to compete  being fully  amortized  as of December  31,  1996.  The
increase in minority  interest  expense of United  Capital Trust I is due to the
issuance  of  $11,000,000  of United  Capital  Trust's  9.75  percent  Preferred
Securities on January 16, 1997.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense was $653,069 for the quarter  ended  September  30, 1997,  an
increase of $9,493 or 1.5% over  income tax expense of $643,576  for the quarter
ended  September 30, 1996.  The effective tax rate  increased from 36.4% for the
quarter ended  September  30, 1996 to 36.9% for the quarter ended  September 30,
1997.  Income tax expense was $2,215,986 for the nine months ended September 30,
1997, an increase of $537,999 or 32.1% over income tax expense of $1,677,987 for
the nine months ended  September 30, 1996. The effective tax rate increased from
33.0% for the nine months ended  September 30, 1996 to 37.8% for the nine months
ended  September  30,  1997.  This  increase is due to the  additional  goodwill
resulting from the  acquisition of PFC and the  nondeductibility  of the related
amortization for tax purposes.

Total loans were $437,493,670 at September 30, 1997, an increase of $151,288,800
or 52.9% over the  December  31, 1996 amount of  $286,204,870.  PFC  contributed

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses

The  current  level of the  allowance  for loan and lease  losses is a result of
management's  assessment  of  the  risks  within  the  portfolio  based  on  the
information  revealed  in  the  credit  review  processes.   United  utilizes  a
risk-rating  system on all loans and a quarterly  review and  reporting  process
which results in the  calculation  of the guideline  reserves  based on the risk
within the portfolio. This assessment of risk takes into account the composition
of  the  loan  portfolio,  previous  loan  loss  experience,   current  economic
conditions  and other  factors  that in  management's  opinion  deserve  special
recognition.

The following table presents a summary of United's  allowance for loan and lease
losses for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996:

While the  allowance  for loan and lease losses is  available  to absorb  credit
losses in the entire  portfolio,  the table  below  presents  an estimate of the
allowance  for loan and lease  losses  allocated by loan type.  The  unallocated
portion  of the  allowance  for  loan  and  lease  losses  represents  allowance
available  for  the  entire  portfolio  as  well  as  reserves   identified  for
qualitative factors, unfunded commitments,  and letters of credit. A significant
portion  of the  allowance  for  loan  and  lease  losses  is  allocated  to the
commercial and  agricultural  loan portfolios due to their higher degree of risk
as well as their historical loan loss experience.

The following  table presents the allocation of the allowance for loan and lease
losses  to major  categories  of loans  and  leases at  September  30,  1997 and
December 31, 1996:

Liquidity

For the  nine  months  ended  September  30,  1997 the net  cash  provided  from
operating activities was $5,381,348,  net cash used for investing activities was
$43,426,532,  and net cash  provided by financing  activities  was  $43,359,052.

New Accounting Standards

In February  1997, the Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  ("FASB")  issued
Statement of Financial  Accounting Standards No. 129, "Disclosure of Information
about  Capital  Structure,"  ("FAS  129")  which  codifies  existing  disclosure
requirements regarding capital structure. FAS 129 will be required to be adopted
at  year-end  1997 and is not  expected  to have a material  impact on  United's
current capital structure disclosures.

In September 1997, the FASB issued  Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standard
No.  130,  "Reporting  Comprehensive  Income,"  ("FAS  130")  which  establishes
standards for reporting and display of  comprehensive  income and its components
in a full set of general-purpose financial statements.  FAS 130 is effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997.  United is evaluating the effect
adoption  of  this  statement  will  have  on the  reporting  of  its  financial
information.

In  September  1997,  the FASB also issued  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting
Standards No. 131,  "Disclosures  about  Segments of an  Enterprise  and Related
Information,"  ("FAS  131")  which  establishes  standards  for the  way  public
enterprises  report  information  about operating  segments in annual  financial
statements and interim financial reports.  FAS 131 is effective for fiscal years
beginning  after December 15, 1997.  United is evaluating the effect adoption of
this statement will have on the reporting of its financial information.
