PROXY STATEMENT

INTRODUCTION

Matters to be Considered at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders
 
This Proxy Statement is being furnished to shareholders of United Bancshares, Inc. (called “we”, “us”, “our”, “UBS” or “the Corporation”) in connection with the solicitation of proxies by UBS for use at UBS’ Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held on Friday, December 5, 2008,17, 2010, at 9:00 A.M., or any adjournment or postponement thereof (the “Annual Meeting”). At the Annual Meeting, the shareholders will consider and vote upon (i) the re-electionelection of three (3) Class AC directors to serve until the expiration of their four (4) year terms; and (ii) the ratification of the appointment of McGladrey and Pullen, LLP as the independentindepende nt registered public accounting firm for UBS for the year 2008.2010. The proxies are authorized to transact such other business as may properly come before the Annual Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. The approximate date upon which this Proxy Statement and the Proxy are to be mailed to shareholders is October 31, 2008.29, 2010. The address of the executive office of UBS is 30 S. 15th Street, 12th Floor, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19102.

Date, Time and Place of Annual Meeting
 
The Annual Meeting will be held on Friday, December 5, 200817, 2010 at 9:00 A.M. local time, at the African American Museum of Philadelphia, 701 Arch Street, Philadelphia, PA 19106.

Important Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials for the Shareholder Meeting to be held on December 17, 2010

This proxy statement and the Corporation’s annual report to security holders are available at www.ubphila.com, Investor Relations tab.

Record Date and Voting
 
Our Board of Directors has fixed the close of business on October 24, 200818, 2010 as the record date for determining holders of record of our Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. Each holder of record, of a voting share, is entitled to one vote per share on the matters to be considered at the Annual Meeting.

The holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock, with voting rights, present either in person or by proxy, will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting. As of October 24, 2008,18, 2010, there were 873,192873,725 shares of our Common Stock outstanding with voting rights.

Shares represented by properly executed proxies will be voted in accordance with the directions indicated in the proxies, unless such proxies have previously been revoked. Each properly executed proxy on which no voting directions are indicated will be voted in favor of the adoption of the proposals recommended by our management of UBS,Board, and in the discretion of the proxy agents as to any other matters which may properly come before the Annual Meeting. A proxy may be revoked by a shareholder at any time prior to its use for any purpose by giving written notice of such revocation to Marionette Y. Wilson, our Secretary, at the executive office of UBS at 30 S. 15th Street, 12th Floor, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19102 or by appearing in person at the Annual Meeting and asking to withdraw the proxy prior to its use for any purpose so that the shareholder can vote in person. A later dated proxy revokes an earlier dated proxy.

We do not know at this time of any business, other than that stated in this Proxy Statement, which will be presented for consideration at the Annual Meeting. If any unanticipated business is properly brought before the Annual Meeting, the proxy agents will vote in accordance with their best judgment.

 
Directors are elected by plurality of the votes cast. The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of shares of common stock present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting for a particular matter (other than the election of directors) is required for the matter to be deemed an act of the shareholders.  If a shareholder abstains from voting on any matter, then the shares are considered present at the Annual Meeting for purposes of the proposal.  However, abstentions are not votes for or against the proposal.  Abstentions will reduce the number of affirmative votes required to approve a proposal by reducing the total number of shares voting on a proposal from which a majority is calculated.  A broker non-vote occurs when a broker does not receive authority to vote on a particular matter.  Broker non-votes are not countedcoun ted with regard to the proposal.  Broker non-votes do reduce the number of affirmative votes required to approve the proposal by reducing the total number of shares voting on a particular matter from which a majority is calculated.

Other Matters
 
We will bear the entire cost of soliciting proxies for the Annual Meeting. In addition to the use of the mail, proxies may be solicited by personal interview, telephone, telefax and telegram, by our directors, officers and employees and by UBS’ wholly-owned subsidiary United Bank of Philadelphia (the “Bank”). Arrangements have been made with brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for forwarding proxy material to beneficial owners of our Common Stock held of record by such persons, and UBS will reimburse them for their expenses in doing so.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
 
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires that our directors and executive officers file reports of their holdings of our Common Stock with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”). Based on our records and other information available to it, we believe that the Commission’s Section 16(a) reporting requirements applicable to our directors and executive officers were complied with for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.2009.
 
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Our Bylaws provide that a Board of Directors of not less than five (5) and not more than twenty-five (25) directors shall manage our business. Our Board, as provided in the bylaws, is divided into four classes of directors: Class A, Class B, Class C and Class D, with each class being as nearly equal in number as possible. The Board of Directors has fixed the number of directors at nine (9), with three (3) members in Class A, one (1) member in Class B, three (3) members in Class C, and two (2) members in Class D. (SEE PROPOSAL 1—ELECTION OF DIRECTORS) There is currently a vacancy in Class B due to the resignation of Mr. Nasratullah in January 2008..

Under UBS’ bylaws, persons elected by the Board of Directors to fill a vacancy on the Board serve as directors for the balance of the term of the director who that person succeeds.

The Board of Directors of UBS and the Board of Directors of the Bank meet when necessary. The Executive Committee of the Bank meets in those months when the UBS Board of Directors does not meet. The Executive Committees of UBS and the Bank act in the stead of the Boards of Directors of UBS and the Bank, respectively, and exercise the authority and powers of the Boards of Directors at intervals between meetings of the Boards of Directors insofar as may be permitted by law.  The Nominating Committee has the responsibility for the nomination of new directors. The Asset and Liability Management Committee of the Bank’s Board meets for the purpose of managing and monitoring the Bank’s exposure to interest rate risk. The Bank’s Compliance Committee has been combined with the Bank’s Audit Committee which meets with the independent registered public accounting firm to review the results of the annual audit and addresses regulatory compliance matters. UBS has a Nominating Committee. UBS’ Board of Directors does not have a Compensation Committee of the Board.  The Executive Committee functions as the Compensation Committee.
Directors’ Qualifications
In considering any individual nominated to be a director on UBS’ and the Bank’s Board of Directors’, the Board of Directors considers a variety of factors, including whether the candidate is recommended by the Bank’s executive management and the Board’s Nominating Committee, the individual’s professional or personal qualifications, including business experience, education and community and charitable activities and the individual’s familiarity with the communities in which UBS or the Bank is located or is seeking to locate.

Box 54212, Philadelphia, PA 19105.  The written communications will be provided to Marionette Y. Wilson, a director and Corporate Secretary of the Board of Directors, who will determine the further distribution of the communications which are appropriate based on the nature of the information contained in the communications.  For example, communications concerning accounting internal controls and auditing matters will be shared with the Chairman of the Audit/Compliance Committee of UBS’ Board of Directors.

Code of Conduct
UBS and the Bank hashave adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics ( the “Code”) that applies to all its directors, employees and officers and including its Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer.  The Code meets the requirement of a code of ethics for the UBS’ and the Bank’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer or persons performing similar functions under Item 406 of the SEC’s Regulation S-K.  Any amendments to the Code or any waivers of the Code for directors or executive officers will be disclosed promptly on a Form 8-K filed with the SEC or by any other means approved by the SEC. The Code complies with requirements of the Sarbanes – Oxley Act and the listing standards of NASDAQ and UBS provides a copy of the Code to each director, officer and employee.

Board Leadership Structure
The positions of the Board Chairman and President and Chief Executive Officer are held by two individuals.  The Board believes this structure is appropriate for USB and the Bank because of the need for the Chairman to have independence in leading the Board of Directors to oversee and direct management and the President and CEO’s direct involvement in leading management of USB and the Bank.

Directors’ Qualifications
In considering any individual nominated to be a director on UBS’ and the Bank’s Board of Directors’, the Board of Directors considers a variety of factors, including whether the candidate is recommended by the Bank’s executive management and the Board’s Nominating Committee, the individual’s professional or personal qualifications, including business experience, education and community and charitable activities and the individual’s familiarity with the communities in which UBS or the Bank is located or is seeking to locate.

Risk Oversight
The Board of Directors establishes and revises policies to identify and manage various risks inherent in the business of the Company, and both directly and through its committees, periodically receives and reviews reports from management to ensure compliance with and evaluate the effectiveness of risk controls.  The President and Chief Executive Officer meets regularly with other senior officers to discuss strategy and risks facing UBS.  Senior management attends monthly Board meetings and is available to address any questions or concerns raised by the Board on risk-management-related and any other matters.  Each month the Board receives presentations from senior management on strategic matters and discusses significant challenges, risks and opportunities fo r UBS.

The Board has an active role, as a whole and also at the committee level, in overseeing management of the UBS’ risks.  The Audit Committee assists the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities with respect to areas of financial reporting, internal controls and compliance with accounting regulatory requirements. Employees who oversee day-to-day risk management duties, including the Vice President/Chief Risk Officer and Compliance Officer, report their findings to the Audit Committee.  The Loan Committee of the Bank assists the Board with fulfilling its oversight responsibilities with respect to management of risks related to the Bank’s loan portfolio and its credit quality.  The Asset Liability Management Committee of the Bank assists the Board with fulfilling its oversight responsibilities with respect to management of interest risk and the Bank’s investment portfolio.

Nomination for Directors
Section 3.4 of Article 3 UBS’ Bylaws provides that no shareholder shall be permitted to nominate a candidate for election as a director, unless such shareholder shall provide to the Secretary of UBS information about such candidate as is equivalent to the information concerning candidates nominated by the Board of Directors that was contained in the UBS Proxy Statement for the immediately preceding Annual Meeting of shareholders in connection with election of directors.  Such information consists of the name, age, any position or office held with UBS or the Bank, a description of any arrangement between the candidate and any other person(s), naming such persons pursuant to which he or she was nominated as a director, his/her principal occupation for the five (5) years pr ior to the meeting, the number of shares of UBS stock beneficially owned by the candidate and a description of any material transactions or series of transactions to which UBS or the Bank is a party and in which the candidate or any of his affiliates has a direct or indirect material interest, which description should specify the amount of the transaction and where practicable the amount of the candidates interest in the transaction.

Such information shall be provided in writing not less than one hundred twenty (120) days before the first anniversary preceding the annual meeting of UBS’ shareholders.  The Chairman of the Board of Directors is required to determine whether the director nominations have been made in accordance with the provisions of the UBS’ Bylaws, and if any nomination is defective, the nomination and any votes cast for the nominee(s) shall be disregarded.

The Nominating Committee’s process for identifying and evaluating nominees for director, including nominees recommended by security holders and for incumbent directors whose terms of office are set to expire, include review of the directors’ overall service during their terms, including meetings attended, level of participation, quality of performance, and contributions towards advancing UBS’s interests and enhancing shareholder value.  With respect to new directors, the procedure includes a review of the candidates’ biographical information and qualifications and a possible check of candidates’ references.  All potential candidates are interviewed by all members of the Committee and other members of the board.  Using this info rmation, the committee evaluates the nominee and determines whether it should recommend to the board that the board nominate or elect to fill a vacancy with the prospectivecandidate.
The Committee believes the following qualifications must be met by a nominee:  a good character, have a reputation, personally and professionally, consistent with UBS’s image and reputation; be an active or former leaders of organizations; possess knowledge in the field of financial services; have an understanding of the Bank’s marketplace; be independent; be able to represent all of the shareholders; be willing to commit the necessary time to devote to board activities, and be willing to assume fiduciary responsibility.

Board of Directors Qualifications
UBS has a very engaged and committed Board of Directors.  The board takes its governance responsibilities very seriously and challenges management to meet its targeted goals and objectives.  Currently, the board has eight (8) outside directors and one (1) insider.  This leadership group has diverse experiences in business, banking, and community development that are important to fulfill their oversight responsibilities.

L. Armstead Edwards serves as Chairman and is one of two remaining founding members currently active on the board.  Mr. Edwards spent a number of years as an educator and small business owner.  He understands the plight of small business owners and combined with his experience in organizational dynamics, he brings a unique perspective to the role.  He chairs the Executive Committee and serves on the Asset Liability, Loan and Audit/Compliance Committees.  Mr. Edwards has encouraged deliberations to take place at the committee level so the board meeting can focus more on strategic initiatives and engage management on execution and performance measures.

Rev. William B. Moore is a founding member and serves as Vice Chairman and is a member of the Executive and Audit/Compliance Committees.  The Chairman and Vice Chairman alternate in leading the board meetings.  Rev. Moore has a rich history in the faith community and has been the Senior Pastor of Tenth Memorial Baptist Church for over 30 years. He serves as a strong catalyst in rallying the faith community to support the Bank which is evidenced with the high percentage of loans to churches in the loan portfolio.  Rev. Moore also leads an informal Advisory Group of Pastors who offer advice to the Bank’s management regarding the financial needs of the urban community to continue to bridge the economic divide in the region.  As a former executive with a quasi-governmental agency, he has a broad based consistency and is very effective in building multi-sector coalitions to ensure economic inclusion.

Joseph T. Drennan, a director since 2002, serves as Treasurer of the Board and is Chairman of the Audit/Compliance Committee and member of the Executive and Asset Liability committees.  In addition, he has expertise in generally accepted accounting principles, financial statements, and internal control over financial reporting, as well as an understanding of audit committee functions.  Mr. Drennan has over 30 years banking experience as an executive in commercial, consumer and strategic planning.  He is the former Chief Financial Officer of Universal Capital Management, Inc. providing equity to start-up and emerging companies.

Marionette Y. Wilson a director since 1993 serves as Secretary of the Board and member of the Executive and Asset Liability Committees.  Prior to her retirement, Ms. Wilson was co-founder of a construction management company and her expertise in this area is very helpful as the Bank works to provide financing to emerging contractors in the region.  In addition, she is a leader in the faith community and has been instrumental in directing relationships to the Bank.

Evelyn F. Smalls serves as an inside director since 2000 when she was appointed President and Chief Executive Officer of the Bank.  She serves on the Executive, Asset Liability and Loan Committees.  Ms. Smalls brings versatile skills with over 25 years experience in banking and community and economic development know-how.  Her leadership is propelled by her passion to move more inner city communities into the economic mainstream.

David R. Bright a retired Bank President has a rich history in commercial lending and credit administration.  Mr. Bright, a director since 2001, serves as Chairman of the Loan Committee and a member of the Executive Committee.  In addition, he brought to the Bank a keen knowledge of community reinvestment initiatives that can propel economic inclusion and impact. Mr. Bright’s community interests include his participation on a number of boards including Greater Philadelphia Urban Affairs Coalition, West Oak Lane Charter School, and Allegheny West CDC.

Dr. Bernard E. Anderson a director since 2002, chairs the Asset Liability Committee.  Dr. Anderson as an economist brings a dynamic perspective to the Bank as a recently retired Whitney E. Young, Jr., Professor of Management, The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania As an Advisor to the Urban League of Philadelphia as well as the National Urban League, Dr. Anderson firmly believes that economic disparities among minority groups can be remediated through public and private policies aided at expanding economic opportunity for all with the Philadelphia region specifically and across the country in general.

Transactions with Related Parties
 
Some of our directors, executive officers, and members of their immediate families and the companies with which they are associated were our customers of and had banking transactions with us in the ordinary course of our business during the year 20072009. All loans and commitments to lend were made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other persons.  In our opinion, the transactions and loan commitments did not involve more than normal risk of collectively or present other unfavorable features.
 
Our written Audit Committee Charter requires our Audit Committee to approve related party transactions. Our written Policy on Related Party Transactions establishes procedures for the Audit Committee’s review and approve of related party transactions other than excepted transactions and preapproved transactions. Transactions available to all employees generally, and transactions involving less than $120,000 when aggregated with all similar transactions in any calendar year, are excepted transactions. The following types of transactions are preapproved transactions:
 
- Compensation payable to directors or officers if reportable under Item 402 of the Commission’s Regulation S-K;
 
- Compensation payable to an immediate family member of another director or executive officer, if approved by the Executive Committee acting as the Compensation Committee;
 
-Transactions with another company (including charitable contributions, grants or endowments to a charitable organization) at which a related person’s only relationship is as an employee (other than executive officer), director or less than 10% owner, if the aggregate amount involved does not exceed $200,000 or 5% of that company’s total revenues; and
 
-Routine banking relationships that otherwise comply with banking laws and regulations.
 
The Audit Committee is to apply the following standards when it reviews related party transactions for approval:
 
- Whether the transaction is on terms no less favorable to the Corporation than terms generally available with an unaffiliated third party under similar circumstances;
 
- The extent of the related person’s interest in the transaction; and
 
- Other factors the committee deems appropriate.

For loan transactions, our written Regulation O Policy requires the Executive Committee to review and approve loan transactions with directors, executive officers and their related interests in accordance with the standards established by Federal Reserve Board Regulation O.
