NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES These interim financial statements are prepared without audit and reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position of United Bancorp, Inc. ("Company") at March 31, 2002, and its results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. All such adjustments are normal and recurring in nature. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions of Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not purport to contain all the necessary financial disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America that might otherwise be necessary in the circumstances and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, and related notes thereto, of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2001 included in its annual report. Reference is made to the accounting policies of the Company described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements contained in its 2001 Annual Report to Shareholders. The Company has consistently followed these policies in preparing this Form 10-Q. PRINCIPLES OF CONDENSED CONSOLIDATION: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, ("Banks") The Citizens Savings Bank, Martins Ferry, Ohio ("CITIZENS") and The Community Bank, Lancaster, Ohio ("COMMUNITY"). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. NATURE OF OPERATIONS: The Company's revenues, operating income and assets are primarily from the banking industry. Accordingly, all of the Company's banking operations are considered by Management to be aggregated in one reportable operating segment. Customers are mainly located in Athens, Belmont, Carroll, Fairfield, Harrison, Hocking, Jefferson, and Tuscarawas Counties and the surrounding localities in northeastern, eastern, southeastern, and central Ohio and include a wide range of individuals, business and other organizations. CITIZENS conducts its business through its main office in Martins Ferry, Ohio and nine branches in Bridgeport, Colerain, Dellroy, Dover, Jewett, New Philadelphia, St. Clairsville, Sherrodsville, and Strasburg, Ohio. COMMUNITY conducts its business through its main office in Lancaster and four branches in Amesville, Glouster, Lancaster, and Nelsonville, Ohio. The Company's primary deposit products are checking, savings, and term certificates of deposits, and its primary lending products are residential mortgage, commercial, and installment loans. Substantially all loans are secured by specific items of collateral including business assets, consumer assets, and real estate. Commercial loans are expected to be repaid from cash flow from operations of business. Real estate loans are secured by both residential and commercial real estate. Other financial instruments which potentially represent concentrations of credit risk include deposit accounts in other financial institutions. USE OF ESTIMATES: To prepare financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions based 7 UNITED BANCORP, INC. NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the disclosures provided and future results could differ. The allowance for loan losses, fair values of financial instruments and status of contingencies are particularly subject to change. INCOME TAXES: Income tax expense is based on the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the entire year. Income tax expense is the total of the current year income tax due or refundable and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities computed using enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. EARNINGS AND DIVIDENDS PER SHARE: Basic earnings per common share ("EPS") is net income divided by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS includes the dilutive effect of additional potential common shares issuable under stock options. Earnings and dividends per share are restated for all stock dividends through the date of issuance of the financial statements. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME: Comprehensive income consists of net income and other comprehensive income. Other comprehensive income includes unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale which is also recognized as a separate component of equity. Other comprehensive income components net of related taxes are as follows: THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2002 2001 ------------ ---------- Other comprehensive income: Unrealized holding gains(losses) on available for sale securities arising during period (2,558,177) 2,134,783 Reclassification adjustment for gains later recognized in income (46,345) (24,214) ------------ ---------- (2,604,522) 2,110,569 Tax effect 886,474 (717,621) ------------ ---------- Other comprehensive income (loss) $ (1,718,048) $1,392,948 ============ ========== 8 UNITED BANCORP, INC.

Nonperforming loans include all impaired loans and smaller balance homogenous loans, such as residential mortgage and consumer loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment. 4. COMMITMENTS, OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK AND CONTINGENCIES There are various contingent liabilities not reflected within the financial statements, including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, the ultimate disposition of these matters is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations. Some financial instruments are used in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and financial guarantees. These involve, to varying degrees, credit and interest-rate risk in excess of the amounts reported in the financial statements. Exposure to credit loss if the other party does not perform is represented by the contractual amount for commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and financial guarantees written. The same credit policies are used for commitments and conditional obligations as are used for loans. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary, upon 11 UNITED BANCORP, INC. NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 4. COMMITMENTS, OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED) extension of credit is based on management's credit evaluation. Collateral varies, but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, equipment, income-producing commercial properties, residential real estate and consumer assets. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the commitment. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being used, total commitments do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees written are conditional commitments to guarantee a customer's performance to a third party. A summary of the notional or contractual amounts of financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk at March 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001 follows: MARCH 31, DECEMBER 31, 2002 2001 ----------- ----------- Commitments to extend credit $19,877,664 $18,779,162 Credit card and ready reserve lines 1,394,352 1,275,919 Standby letters of credit 460,000 471,000 At March 31, 2002, and included above, commitments to make fixed-rate loans totaled $2,780,958 with the interest rates on those fixed-rate commitments ranging from 4.75% to 9.75%. At December 31, 2001, commitments to make fixed rate loans totaled $2,416,731 with interest rates on those fixed-rate commitments ranging from 6.50% to 10.00%. 5. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS On January 1, 2002, the Company adopted a Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, which addresses impairment and disposal of long-lived assets. The effect of this on the financial position and results of operations of the Company is not expected to be material. In 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board will issue Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143, which addresses the accounting for asset retirement obligations.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION EARNING ASSETS - LOANS At March 31, 2002, gross loans were $183,302,000 compared to $183,340,000 at year-end 2001, a decrease of 0.02%. The decrease in total outstanding loans was the result of a decline in the real estate and installment portfolios. Management attributes the overall decrease in loans to the general economic slow-down in the lending markets served. Installment loans decreased to 23.4% of total loans at March 31, 2002 compared to 24.9% at year-end 2001. The indirect lending type of financing carries somewhat more risk than real estate lending, however, it also provides for higher yields. The targeted lending areas encompass four metropolitan areas, minimizing the risk to changes in economic conditions in the communities housing the Company's 17 branch locations. CITIZENS experienced a 6.3%, or $1,701,000 decline in installment loans while COMMUNITY had a decrease of 5.8%, or $1,096,000 in installment loans. In general as the overall economy has slowed in the markets we service, so has the demand for consumer based loans. Also with interest rates depressed, Management has not been aggressive to lower rates on these fixed rate loan products. Recently, Management has employed the strategy of focusing on adjustable rate products to position the Company for an eventual rise in interest rates. Commercial and commercial real estate loans comprised 47.4% of total loans at March 31, 2002 compared to 45.5% at December 31, 2001. Commercial and commercial real estate loans have increased $3,458,000 or 4.1% since December 31, 2001. The Company has originated and purchased participations in loans from other banks for out-of-area commercial and commercial real estate loans to benefit from consistent economic growth outside the Company's primary market area. The majority of these loans are secured by real estate holdings comprised of hotels, motels and churches located in various geographic locations, including Columbus and the Akron-Canton, Ohio metropolitan areas. Out-of-area loans at March 31, 2002 were 8.2% of total loans and 17.3% of total commercial and commercial real estate loans compared to 6.4% and 13.9% at year-end 2001. Real estate loans were 29.2% of total loans at March 31, 2002 compared to 29.5% at year-end 2001. Real estate loans decreased 1.3% since December 31, 2001. However, COMMUNITY actually experienced an increase in real estate loans of 1.9% or $373,000. As previously mentioned, management's position is to focus on adjustable rate products as the overall rate environment reaches historical low levels with the intent these products will adjust as interest rates rise. The allowance for loan losses represents the amount which management and the Board of Directors estimates is adequate to provide for probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The allowance balance and the provision charged to expense are reviewed by management and the Board of Directors monthly using a risk evaluation model that considers borrowers' past due experience, economic conditions and various other circumstances that are subject to change over time. Management believes the current balance of the allowance for loan losses is adequate to absorb probable incurred credit losses associated with the loan portfolio. Net charge-offs for the three months ended March 31, 2002 were approximately $88,000, or 3.1%, of the beginning balance in the allowance for loan losses. During the first three months of 2002, 16 UNITED BANCORP, INC. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS EARNING ASSETS -- LOANS (CONTINUED) gross charge-offs were almost entirely consumer loans and totaled approximately $141,000. EARNING ASSETS -- SECURITIES AND FEDERAL FUNDS SOLD The securities portfolio is comprised of U.S. Government agency-backed securities, tax-exempt obligations of states and political subdivisions and certain other investments. The Company does not hold any collateralized mortgage-backed securities, other than those issued by U.S. government agencies, or derivative securities. The quality rating of obligations of state and political subdivisions within Ohio is no less than Aaa, Aa or A, with all out-of-state bonds rated at AAA. Board policy permits the purchase of certain non-rated bonds of local schools, townships and municipalities, based on their estimated levels of credit risk. Securities available for sale at March 31, 2002 decreased approximately $2,278,000, or 2.0% from year-end 2001 totals. Securities held to maturity at March 31, 2002 increased approximately $1,643,000, or 15.8% compared to year-end 2001 totals. SOURCES OF FUNDS -- DEPOSITS The Company's primary source of funds is core deposits from retail and business customers. These core deposits include all categories of interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing deposits, excluding certificates of deposit greater than $100,000. For the period ended March 31, 2002, total core deposits decreased approximately $873,000 primarily from a decrease of time deposits under $100,000 of $5.4 million. The Company has a strong deposit base from public agencies, including local school districts, city and township municipalities, public works facilities and others that may tend to be more seasonal in nature resulting from the receipt and disbursement of state and federal grants. These entities have maintained fairly static balances with the Company due to various funding and disbursement timeframes. Certificates of deposit greater than $100,000 are not considered part of core deposits and as such are used to balance rate sensitivity as a tool of funds management. At March 31, 2002, certificates of deposit greater than $100,000 increased approximately $4.3 million, or 11.2% from year-end 2001 totals. SOURCES OF FUNDS -- SECURITIES SOLD UNDER AGREEMENTS TO REPURCHASE AND OTHER BORROWINGS Other interest-bearing liabilities include securities sold under agreements to repurchase, sweep accounts, federal funds purchased, Treasury, Tax & Loan notes payable and Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") advances. In the first three months of 2002, the Company continued to utilize the FHLB programs to manage interest rate risk and liquidity positions. The majority of the Company's repurchase agreements are with local school districts and city and county governments. Total other borrowings decreased approximately $7.8 million, or 29.9% from year-end 2001 totals. 17 UNITED BANCORP, INC. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2002 NET INCOME Basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2002 was $0.22, compared with $0.19 for the three months ended March 31, 2001. Net income increased 12.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2002, compared to the same period in 2001. NET INTEREST INCOME Net interest income, by definition, is the difference between interest income generated on interest-earning assets and the interest expense incurred on interest-bearing liabilities. Various factors contribute to changes in net interest income, including volumes, interest rates and the composition or mix of interest-earning assets in relation to interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income increased 10.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2002 compared to the same period in 2001. The increase was a result of the Company having a larger base of average earning assets somewhat offset by a decrease in short-term interest rates. Management anticipates the impact to continue over the next several quarters if short-term interest rates continue at their current levels. However, as a result of the decline in short term interest rates, Management was able to lower the Company's overall cost of funds. Total interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2002 was $5,633,358 compared to $6,203,851 for the same period in 2001. Total interest income decreased $570,493, or 9.2%. The decrease can be attributed to the overall lower interest rate environment that currently exists. Total interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2002 when compared to the same three-month period ended March 31, 2001, decreased 25.9%, or $861,000. The Company has experienced a decrease in interest expense due to a decreased use of FHLB advances to fund security purchases and the effect of a lower interest rate environment on deposit products. Management has been proactive in lowering deposit product interest rates since the overall interest rate environment began to decrease in January of last year. PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES The total provision for loan losses was $157,500 for the three months ended March 31, 2002 compared to $195,000 for the same period in 2001. Management decreased the provision in 2002 due to an anticipated decrease in net charge-offs for the fiscal year related to the continued improvement in portfolio quality. Additionally, the loan portfolio balance remained almost unchanged since December 31, 2001. NONINTEREST INCOME Total noninterest income is made up of bank related fees and service charges, as well as other income producing services provided, sale of secondary market loans, ATM income, early redemption penalties for certificates of deposits, safe deposit rental income, internet bank service fees and other miscellaneous items. Noninterest income for the three months ended March 31, 2002 was $445,000 compared to $368,000 for the same three months period ended March 31, 2001. For the three months ended March 31, 2002 compared to the same period in 2001, noninterest income increased approximately 18 UNITED BANCORP, INC. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS NONINTEREST INCOME -- (CONTINUED) 20.9%. The Company's secondary market real estate loan program increased $50,000 over the same period in 2001. NONINTEREST EXPENSE Noninterest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2002 increased $275,000 or 12.2% over the three months ended March 31, 2001. Salary and benefit expense increased approximately $140,000 or 12.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2002 as a result of rising health care costs. CAPITAL RESOURCES Internal capital growth, through the retention of earnings, is the primary means of maintaining capital adequacy for the Company. Shareholders' equity at March 31, 2002 was $28,843,000 compared to $30,474,000 at December 31, 2001, a 5.4% decrease. Total shareholders' equity in relation to total assets was 8.61% at March 31, 2002 and 8.93% at December 31, 2001. In May 2001 our shareholders approved an amendment to the Company's Articles of Incorporation to create a class of preferred shares with 2,000,000 authorized shares. This will enable the Company, at the option of the Board of Directors, to issue series of preferred shares in a manner calculated to take advantage of financing techniques which may provide a lower effective cost of capital to the Company. The amendment also provides greater flexibility to the Board of Directors in structuring the terms of equity securities that may be issued by the Company. The Company has a Dividend Reinvestment Plan ("The Plan") for shareholders under which the Company's common stock will be purchased by the Plan for participants with automatically reinvested dividends. The Plan does not represent a change in the Company's dividend policy or a guarantee of future dividends. The Company maintains a deferred compensation plan for its Directors. The plan permits the Directors to defer into a Rabbi Trust all or a portion of their director fees. The plan is being accounted for under the provisions of EITF 97-14. The Company and Banks are subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and prompt corrective action regulations involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors and the regulators can lower classifications in certain cases. Failure to meet various capital requirements can initiate regulatory action that could have a direct material effect on the Banks' operations. The prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications, including well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If adequately capitalized, regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits. If undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is asset growth and expansion and plans for capital restoration are required. 19 UNITED BANCORP, INC. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The minimum requirements are: TOTAL TIER 1 TIER 1 CAPITAL TO CAPITAL TO CAPITAL TO RISK-WEIGHTED RISK-WEIGHTED AVERAGE ASSETS ASSETS ASSETS ----------------- ----------------- -------------- Well capitalized 10.00% 6.00% 5.00% Adequately capitalized 8.00% 4.00% 4.00% Undercapitalized 6.00% 3.00% 3.00% The following table illustrates the Company's risk-weighted capital ratios at March 31, 2002: MARCH 31, (IN THOUSANDS) 2002 ---------- Tier 1 capital $ 30,513 Total risk-based capital $ 33,137 Risk-weighted assets $ 209,925 Average total assets $ 338,901 Tier 1 capital to average assets 9.00% Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio 14.54% Total risk-based capital ratio 15.79% LIQUIDITY Management's objective in managing liquidity is maintaining the ability to continue meeting the cash flow needs of its customers, such as borrowings or deposit withdrawals, as well as its own financial commitments. The principal sources of liquidity are net income, loan payments, maturing securities and sales of securities available for sale, federal funds sold and cash and deposits with banks. Along with its liquid assets, the Company has additional sources of liquidity available to ensure that adequate funds are available as needed. These include, but are not limited to, the purchase of federal funds, the ability to borrow funds under line of credit agreements with correspondent banks and a borrowing agreement with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati, Ohio and the adjustment of interest rates to obtain depositors. Management feels that it has the capital adequacy, profitability and reputation to meet the current and projected needs of its customers. For the three months ended March 31, 2002, the adjustments to reconcile net income to net cash from operating activities consisted mainly of depreciation and amortization of premises and equipment and intangibles, the provision for loan losses, net amortization of securities and net changes in other assets and liabilities. Cash and cash equivalents decreased as a result of the purchasing of government agency securities. For a more detailed illustration of sources and uses of cash, refer to the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. 20 UNITED BANCORP, INC. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS INFLATION Substantially all of the Company's assets and liabilities relate to banking activities and are monetary in nature. The consolidated financial statements and related financial data are presented in accordance with GAAP in the United States of America (GAAP). GAAP currently requires the Company to measure the financial position and results of operations in terms of historical dollars, with the exception of securities available for sale, impaired loans and other real estate loans that are measured at fair value. Changes in the value of money due to rising inflation can cause purchasing power loss. Management's opinion is that movements in interest rates affect the financial condition and results of operations to a greater degree than changes in the rate of inflation. It should be noted that interest rates and inflation do effect each other, but do not always move in correlation with each other. The Company's ability to match the interest sensitivity of its financial assets to the interest sensitivity of its liabilities in its asset/liability management may tend to minimize the effect of changes in interest rates on the Company's performance. REGULATORY MATTERS The Company is subject to the regulatory requirements of The Federal Reserve System as a multi-bank holding company. The affiliate banks are subject to regulations of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and the State of Ohio, Division of Financial Institutions. 21 UNITED BANCORP, INC. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK The principal market risk affecting the Company is interest rate risk. The Banks do not maintain a trading account for any class of financial instrument and the Company is not affected by foreign currency exchange rate risk or commodity price risk. Because the Banks do not hold any equity securities other than stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati, which is not significant, the Company is not subject to equity price risk. The Company, like other financial institutions, is subject to interest rate risk to the extent that its interest-earning assets reprice differently than its interest-bearing liabilities. One of the principal financial objectives is to achieve long-term profitability while reducing its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. The Company has sought to reduce exposure of its earnings to changes in market interest rates by managing assets and liability maturities and interest rates primarily by originating variable-rate lending products, or if issued with a fixed interest rate, as is the case with the indirect automobile portfolio, the term is rather short in duration. Both the variable interest rates inherent in the commercial, commercial real estate and real estate loan portfolios, and the short duration loan products, mitigate the Company's exposure to dramatic interest rate movements. The Company's securities are all fixed rate and are weighted more heavily towards available for sale which accounts for 90% of the portfolio compared to the 10% for held to maturity securities. The Company primarily invests in US Agency obligations and State and Municipal obligations and has a modest amount invested in mortgage-backed securities. Due to total securities approximating 37% of total assets and a significant portion of its loan portfolio consisting of fixed rate loans, the Company is particularly sensitive to periods of rising interest rates. In such periods, the Company's net interest spread is negatively affected because the interest rate paid on deposits increases faster than the rates earned on loans. Management is continuing to originate variable rate loans as the primary means to manage this risk. Management measures the Company's interest rate risk by computing estimated changes in net interest income and the net portfolio value ("NPV") of its cash flows from assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet items in the event of a range of assumed changes in market interest rates. The following tables present an analysis of the potential sensitivity of the Company's new present value of its financial instruments to sudden and sustained changes in the prevailing interest rates. (Dollars in Thousands) - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- NET PORTFOLIO VALUE-MARCH 31, 2002 CHANGE IN RATES $ AMOUNT $ CHANGE % CHANGE --------- ---------- -------- Up 200 $ 25,592 $(10,107) -28.31% Up 100 $ 31,478 $ (4,221) -11.82% Base $ 35,699 Down 100 $ 34,216 $ (1,483) -4.15% Down 200 $ 32,068 $ (3,631) -10.17% (Dollars in Thousands) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- NET PORTFOLIO VALUE-DECEMBER 31, 2001 CHANGE IN RATES $ AMOUNT $ CHANGE % CHANGE -------- -------- -------- Up 200 $ 38,205 $ (3,349) -8.06% Up 100 $ 42,965 $ 1,411 3.40% Base $ 41,554 Down 100 $ 37,711 $ (3,843) -9.25% Down 200 $ 35,921 $ (5,633) -13.56% 22 UNITED BANCORP, INC. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK (CONTINUED) The Company's NPV is more sensitive to increasing rates than decreasing rates. Such difference in sensitivity occurs principally because, as rates increase, the effect is offset on a short-term basis by the rather fixed nature of our consumer loans and investment securities. This occurs even though the commercial, commercial real estate and real estate portfolios are comprised of variable rate products. Also in a rising rate environment consumers tend not to prepay fixed rate loans as quickly as they would have had rates not changed dramatically. Moreover, the interest the Company pays on its deposits would increase because deposits generally have shorter periods to reprice. Certain shortcomings are inherent in the NPV method of analysis. Certain assets such as adjustable-rate loans have features that restrict changes in interest rates on a short-term basis and over the life of the asset. In addition, the proportion of adjustable-rate loans in the Company's portfolio could decrease in future periods if market interest rates remain at or decrease below current levels due to refinancing activity. Further, in the event of a change in interest rates, prepayment and early withdrawal levels would likely deviate from those assumed in the analysis. Finally, the ability of many borrowers to repay their adjustable-rate debt may decrease in the case of an increase in interest rates. 23 UNITED BANCORP, INC.
