45 FIRST UNITED CORPORATION Note to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements March 31,June 30, 2003 Note A -- Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting 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 considered necessary for a fair presentation, consisting of normal recurring items have been included. Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31,June 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2003. The enclosed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002. Earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding of 6,087,433 for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2003 and 6,080,589 for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2002. Note B - Accumulated Comprehensive Income Accumulated other comprehensive income represents the unrealized gains and losses on the Company's available-for-sale securities, net of income taxes. During the first threesix months of 2003 and 2002, total comprehensive income, net income plus the change in unrealized gains (losses) on available-for-sale securities, amounted to $2.45 million and $2.33 million, net of income taxes, amounted to $6.35 million and $6.00 million, respectively. 5Note C - Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46 (FIN 46), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" ("VIEs"), an interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, "Consolidated Financial Statements", to improve financial reporting of special purpose and other entities. A VIE is a partnership, limited liability company, trust or other legal entity that does not have sufficient equity to permit it to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties, or whose investors lack certain characteristics associated with owning a controlling financial interest. Business enterprises that represent the primary beneficiary of a VIE must consolidate the entity in its financial statements. Prior to the issuance of FIN 46, consolidation generally occurred when an enterprise controlled another entity through voting interests. The consolidation provisions of FIN 46 apply to VIEs entered into after January 31, 2003, and for preexisting VIEs in the first interim reporting period after June 15, 2003. With respect to other interests in entities subject to FIN 46, the Company has initially determined that the provisions of FIN 46 may require de-consolidation of the Company's subsidiary trusts, which issued mandatorily redeemable preferred capital securities to third-party investors. At adoption of FIN 46, the grantor trusts may be de-consolidated and the junior subordinated debentures of the Company will be reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as "Long-term debt", while the Company's equity interest in the trusts will be reported as "Other assets". For regulatory reporting purposes, the Federal Reserve Board has indicated that the preferred securities will continue to qualify as Tier 1 Capital until further notice. 6 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations This Quarterly Report of First United Corporation (the "Corporation") filed on Form 10-Q may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Readers of this report should be aware of the speculative nature of "forward-looking statements." Statements that are not historical in nature, including those that include the words "anticipate," "estimate," "should," expect,"expect," "believe," "intend," and similar expressions, are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about, among other things, the industry and the markets in which the Corporation operates, and they are not guarantees of future performance. Whether actual results will conform to expectations and predictions is subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties, including risks and uncertainties discussed in this report; general economic, market, or business conditions; changes in interest rates, deposit flow, the cost of funds, and demand for loan products and financial services; changes in the Corporation's competitive position or competitive actions by other companies; changes in the quality or composition of loan and investment portfolios; the ability to manage growth; changes in laws or regulations or policies of federal and state regulators and agencies; and other circumstances beyond the Corporation's control. Consequently, all of the forward-looking statements made in this document are qualified by these cautionary statements, and there can be no assurance that the actual results anticipated will be realized, or if substantially realized, will have the expected consequences on the Corporation's business or operations. For a more complete discussion of these risk factors, see "Risk Factors" in Part I, Item 1 of the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.

One, the Corporation decided to sell two specific issues of FreddieMac securities that were initially written down to market value in December 2002 under an interpretation of the other-than-temporary impairment rules. At the time of the sale, these securities had a book value of $4.29 million. Two, the Corporation chose to sell several mortgage-backed securities that were exhibiting accelerated payback thus resulting in reduced yield for the Corporation. These securities had a book value of $23.82 million. The proceeds from these sales were reinvested in agency securities in which the underlying collateral is consumer mortgage loans originated at lower interest rates; therefore, being less likely to experience accelerated payback. The Corporation accepted a slightly lower coupon on the securities and extended the average life of the investments to slightly greater than four years as compared to the average life of one year for the original investments. 8 Table 2 - Analysis of Investment Portfolio The following table presents the trends in the composition of the investment portfolio at the dates indicated: (In thousands) June 30, 2003 % December 31, 2002 % - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- U.S. Treasury $ 304 0.15% $ 305 0.14% Federal Agencies 38,630 18.50% 30,390 14.12% State Municipal 31,673 15.17% 31,354 14.57% Other 138,195 66.18% 153,187 71.17% --------- ------- --------- ------- Total Investment Securities $ 208,802 100.00% $ 215,236 100.00% Deposits totaled $696.71$710.58 million at March 31,June 30, 2003.

MARKET RISK MANAGEMENT The Corporation's principal market risk exposure is to interest rates. The Corporation intends to effectively manage the adverse effects of changing interest rates on earnings, long-term shareholder value, and liquidity through the use of a simulation model. The simulation model captures optionality factors such as call features and interest rate caps and floors imbedded in investment and loan portfolio contractual obligations. As of March 31,June 30, 2003, the simulation analysis shows that net interest income would decline by 7.90%8.90% or $2.68$2.95 million over a twelve-month period given an interest rate decrease of 100 basis points. The Corporation's policy states that a net interest income change of 5.00% or less requires no action. For a net interest income change of greater than 5.00% but less than 10.00%, the Asset/Liability Committee must be informed at the next regularly scheduled quarterly meeting. An increase in interest rates impacts the Corporation's net interest income favorably. In terms of the economic value of equity which measures the long-term risk in the balance sheet by valuing the bank's assets and liabilities at "market", given the same shift in interest rates, the fair value of the Corporation's capital would decrease 16.20%18.40% or $16.98$18.78 million as compared to a policy limit of 10.00%. A change in the fair value of equity of greater than 10.00% but less than 20.00% requires that the Asset/Liability Committee be informed at the next regularly scheduled quarterly meeting. An increase in interest rates would increase the fair value of the Corporation's capital. 9 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL MANAGEMENT The Corporation derives liquidity through increased customer deposits, maturities in the investment portfolio, loan repayments and income from earning assets. To the extent that deposits are not adequate to fund customer loan demand, liquidity needs can be met in the short-term funds markets through arrangements with the Corporation's correspondent banks.banks or through the purchase of brokered certificates of deposit. The Corporation's bank subsidiary, First United Bank (the "Bank"), is also a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta, which provides another source of liquidity. There are no known trends or demands, commitments, events or uncertainties of which management is aware that will materially affect the Corporation's ability to maintain liquidity at satisfactory levels. The Corporation recorded a total risk-based capital ratio of 14.84%14.66% at March 31,June 30, 2003 as compared to 14.31% at December 31, 2002. The Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 11.16%11.35% at March 31,June 30, 2003 as compared to 11.39% at December 31, 2002. Capital adequacy was well-above regulatory requirements. The regulatory requirements for total risk-based capital and Tier 1 capital are 8.00% and 4.00%, respectively, to maintain capital adequacy. The risk-based capital rules have been further supplemented by a leverage ratio, defined as Tier I capital divided by average assets, after certain adjustments. The 7 minimum leverage ratio is 3% for banking organizations that do not anticipate significant growth and have well-diversified risk (including no undue interest rate risk exposure), excellent asset quality, high liquidity and good earnings. The leverage ratio at March 31,June 30, 2003 was 11.33%10.34%. Shareholder's equityEquity at March 31,June 30, 2003 was $79.97$83.61 million as compared to $79.28 million at December 31, 20022002. The Corporation paid a cash dividend of $.175 per share on FebruaryMay 1, 2003. On March 19,June 18, 2003, the Corporation declared another dividend of an equal amount, to be paid MayAugust 1, 2003, to shareholders of record at AprilJuly 18, 2003. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Consolidated net income for the first quartersix months of 2003 totaled $2.45$5.77 million or $.40$.94 per share compared to $2.33$4.70 million or $.38$.77 per share for the same period of 2002. This is a net income increase of 5.39%22.77% and earnings per share increase of 5.26%22.08%. Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2003 was $3.32 million, or $.54 per share compared to $.39 per share for the same period of 2002. This increase in net income includesis comprised of two items: net securities gains of $.53$.34 million that were recognized during the first six months of 2003; and adjustments made to the reserve for probable loan and lease losses during the second quarter of 2003. The methodology that is used in the calculation for reserve for probable loan and lease losses indicated that the Corporation had a higher level of reserve than what was required for the current credit quality of the loan and lease portfolios. Additionally, a re-evaluation of the collateral for a large commercial loan, currently in non-accrual status proved that the Bank is in a secure collateral position relative to the loan balance, with no loss anticipated, resulting in a special allocation for that loan facility being removed from the reserve. Both of these factors contributed to a negative provision for probable loan and lease losses of $.32 million for the second quarter of 2003. The Corporation's performance ratios remain stable. Annualized Returns on Average Equity ("ROAE") were 12.44%14.36% and 13.06%12.98% for the three-monthsix-month periods ending March 31,June 30, 2003 and March 31,June 30, 2002, respectively.

This ratio was 1.13% for the year ended December 31, 2002. The Corporation uses a non-GAAP traditional efficiency ratio isas a key measuring tool for profitability and operating efficiency. A lower ratio equals higher profitability and operating efficiencies. The Corporation's efficiency ratio remained steady at 62.39% for the periods ended March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002. This ratio was 61.31%is used by management as part of its evaluation of its management of non-interest expenses.

In this historically low interest rate environment, First United chose to sell several mortgage-backed securities that were exhibiting accelerated payback thus resulting in reduced yield for the Corporation. The proceeds from these sales were reinvested in securities in which the underlying collateral is consumer mortgage loans originated at lower interest rates, which management believes are less likely to experience accelerated payback.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk The information required by this item is discussed under "Market Risk Management" in Part I, Item 2 "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation." Item 4. Controls and Procedures (a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Within the 90 days prior to the date of this report, theThe Corporation carried out an evaluation ("Evaluation"), under the supervision and with the participation of the Corporation's management, including the Corporation's Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and its President/Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company'smaintains disclosure controls and procedures ("Disclosure Controls") and its internal controls and procedures for financial reporting ("Internal Controls"). Disclosure Controls are procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuringto ensure that information required to be disclosed in ourthe Company's reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act"),with the SEC, such as this Quarterly Report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in thethose rules and forms, issued by the SEC. Disclosure Controls are also designed with the objective of ensuringand that such information is accumulated and communicated to ourthe Corporation's management, including the CEOChief Executive Officer ("CEO") and CFO,the Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Internal Controls are procedures that are designed with the objective of providing reasonable assurance that (i) our transactions are properly authorized; (ii) our assets are safeguarded against unauthorized or improper use; and (iii) our transactions are properly recorded and reported, all to permit the preparation of our financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. CEO and CFO Certifications Appearing immediately following the Signatures section of this Quarterly Report there are "Certifications" of the CEO and the CFO. The Certifications are required in accordance with Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The section of the Quarterly Report that you are currently reading is the information concerning the Evaluation, and this information should be read in conjunction with the Certifications for a more complete understanding of the topics presented. Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls The Corporation's management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that our Disclosure Controls or our Internal Controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Corporation have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. BecauseAn evaluation of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occureffectiveness of these disclosure controls, as of June 30, 2003, was carried out under the supervision and not be detected. Conclusionswith the participation of the Corporation's management, including the CEO and the CFO. Based uponon that evaluation, the Evaluation,Corporation's management, including the Corporation's CEO and the CFO, havehas concluded that the Corporation's Disclosure Controlsdisclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating toeffective. During the 11 Corporation (including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be includedsecond quarter of 2003, there was no change in the Corporation's periodic SEC filings, andinternal control over financial reporting that our Internal Controls are effectivehas materially affected, or is reasonably likely to provide reasonable assurance that our financial statements are fairly presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
