Page 6 (E) NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of United Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The condensed consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2002 has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of that date. Operating results for the three month period ending June 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2003. For further information, refer to 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. NOTE 2 - LOANS HELD FOR SALE Mortgage loans serviced for others are not included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The unpaid principal balance of mortgage loans serviced for others was $230,049,000 and $174,515,000 at the end of June 2003 and 2002. The balance of loans serviced for others related to servicing rights that have been capitalized was $223,043,000 and $164,652,000 at June 30, 2003 and 2002. Mortgage servicing rights activity in thousands of dollars for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 follows: 2003 2002 ------- ------- Balance at January 1 $ 1,352 $ 1,100 Amount capitalized year to date 790 235 Amount amortized year to date (513) (147) ------- ------- Balance at period end $ 1,629 $ 1,188 ======== ======= No valuation allowance was considered necessary for mortgage servicing rights at period end 2003 and 2002. NOTE 3 - COMMON STOCK AND EARNINGS PER SHARE Basic earnings per share are based upon the weighted average number of shares outstanding plus contingently issuable shares during the year. Diluted earnings per share further assumes the dilutive effect of additional common shares issuable under stock options. During March of 2003 and 2002, the Company declared 5% stock dividends payable in May 2003 and 2002. Earnings per share, dividends per share and weighted average shares have been restated to reflect these stock dividends. A reconciliation of basic and diluted earnings per share follows: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended In thousands of dollars, except per share data June 30, June 30, ----------------------------------------------------- 2003 2002 2003 2002 ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Net income $ 1,702 $ 1,706 $ 3,485 $ 3,329 ========== ========== ========== ========= Basic earnings: Weighted average common shares outstanding 2,221,041 2,215,564 2,220,767 2,215,377 Weighted average contingently issuable shares 18,428 15,862 17,934 15,473 ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Total weighted average shares outstanding 2,239,469 2,231,426 2,238,701 2,230,850 ========== ========== ========== ========== Basic earnings per share $ 0.76 $ 0.76 $ 1.56 $ 1.49 ========== ========== ========== ========== Page 7 Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, ----------------------------------------------------- 2003 2002 2003 2002 ---------- ---------- --------- ---------- Diluted earnings: Weighted average common shares outstanding from basic earnings per share 2,239,469 2,231,426 2,238,701 2,230,850 Dilutive effect of stock options 9,569 3,772 14,295 5,813 ---------- ---------- --------- ---------- Total weighted average shares outstanding 2,249,038 2,235,198 2,252,996 2,236,663 ========== ========== ========== ========== Diluted earnings per share $ 0.76 $ 0.76 $ 1.55 $ 1.49 ========== ========== ========== ========== A small number of shares represented by stock options granted are not included in the above calculations as they are non-dilutive as of the date of this report. NOTE 4 - STOCK OPTIONS In 2000, Shareholders approved the Company's 1999 Stock Option Plan as proposed. The plan is a non- qualified stock option plan as defined under Internal Revenue Service regulations. Under the plan, directors and management of the Company and subsidiaries are given the right to purchase stock of the Company at a stipulated price, adjusted for stock dividends, over a specific period of time. The Plan will continue in effect for five years, unless it is extended with the approval of the Shareholders. The stock subject to the options are shares of authorized and unissued common stock of the Company. As defined in the plan, options representing no more than 132,490 shares (adjusted for stock dividends declared) are to be made available to the plan. Options under this plan are granted to directors and certain key members of management at the then- current market price at the time the option is granted. The options have a three-year vesting period, and with certain exceptions, expire at the end of ten years, or three years after retirement. The following is summarized option activity for the plan, adjusted for stock dividends: Options Weighted Average Outstanding Exercise Price ----------- -------------- Balance at January 1, 2003 83,812 $ 42.67 Options granted 24,150 51.76 Options exercised (9,248) 39.69 Options forfeited - - ------- ------- Balance at June 30, 2003 98,714 $ 45.17 ======= ======= Options granted under the plan during the current year were 22,050 on January 10, 2003, 1,050 on February 17, 2003 and 1,050 on March 12, 2003. The weighted fair value of the options granted was $3.76. For stock options outstanding at June 30, 2003, the range of average exercise prices was $39.49 to $57.14 and the weighted average remaining contractual term was 8.1 years. At June 30, 2003, 49,934 options were exercisable at the weighted average exercise price of $41.82. The following pro forma information presents net income and earnings per share had the fair value method been used to measure compensation cost for stock option grants. The exercise price of the option grants is equivalent to the market value of the underlying stock at the grant date, adjusted for stock dividends. Accordingly, no compensations cost was recorded for the period ended June 30, 2003 and 2002.

This Statement amends FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. SFAS No. 148 provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, SFAS No. 148 amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require more prominent and more frequent disclosures in financial statements about the effects of stock-based compensation. Under the provisions of SFAS No. 123, companies that adopted the fair value based method were required to apply that method prospectively for new stock option awards. This contributed to a "ramp-up" effect on stock-based compensation expense in the first few years following adoption, which caused concern for companies and investors because of the lack of consistency in reported results. To address that concern, SFAS No. 148 provides two additional methods of transition that reflect an entity's full complement of stock-based compensation expense immediately upon adoption, thereby eliminating the ramp-up effect. SFAS No. 148 also improves the clarity and prominence of disclosures about the proforma effects of using the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based compensation for all companies - regardless of the accounting method used - by requiring that the data be presented more prominently and in a more user-friendly format in the footnotes to the financial statements. In addition, SFAS No. 148 improves the timeliness of those disclosures by requiring that this information be included in interim as well as annual financial statements. In the past, companies were required to make proforma disclosures only in annual financial statements. The transition guidance and annual disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 148 are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002, with earlier application permitted in certain circumstances. The interim disclosure provisions are effective for financial reports containing financial statements for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2002. The FASB has stated it intends to issue a new statement on accounting for stock-based compensation and will require companies to expense stock options using a fair value based method at date of grant. The implementation for this proposed state statement is not known. ITEM 2- MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS This discussion provides information about the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of United Bancorp, Inc. and its subsidiaries for the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2003 and 2002. Page 9 FINANCIAL CONDITION SECURITIES Balances in the Company's investment securities portfolio continued to increase during the second quarter of 2003, as investment securities absorbed some of the Company's deposit growth in excess of loan growth. This increase in the portfolio was primarily in short term investments, which caused the mix of the securities portfolio to shift somewhat. During the quarter, short-term agency and mortgage-backed bonds generally replaced maturing municipal and corporate obligations. The following chart shows the percentage mix of the securities portfolio. 6/30/2003 12/31/2002 6/30/2002 --------- ---------- --------- U.S. Treasury and agency securities 32.3% 30.6% 31.8% Mortgage backed agency securities 22.2% 14.0% 13.9% Obligations of states and political subdivisions 36.5% 39.1% 35.6% Corporate, asset backed, and other securities 9.0% 16.3% 18.7% ----- ----- ----- Total Securities 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% ===== ===== ===== The Company's current and projected tax position continues to make carrying tax-exempt securities beneficial, and the Company does not anticipate being subject to the alternative minimum tax in the near future. The investment in local municipal issues also reflects the Company's commitment to the development of the local area through support of its local political subdivisions. Investments in U.S. Treasury and agency securities are considered to possess low credit risk. Obligations of U.S. government agency mortgage-backed securities possess a somewhat higher interest rate risk due to certain prepayment risks. The corporate, asset backed and other securities portfolio also contains a moderate level of credit risk. The municipal portfolio contains a small amount of geographic risk, as approximately 8% of that portfolio is issued by political subdivisions located within Lenawee County, Michigan. The Company's portfolio contains no "high risk" mortgage securities or structured notes. LOANS Loan balances increased in the second quarter of 2003, reversing a decline experienced during the first quarter of the year. While refinancing in the Company's residential mortgage portfolios into products that are sold on the secondary market continues, balances in the business loan portfolio improved for the quarter, while personal loan balances declined. The mix of the loan portfolio continues a long-term trend toward an increased percentage of business loans, with declining percentages of residential mortgage loans and personal loans. The table below shows total loans outstanding, in thousands of dollars and their percentage of the total loan portfolio. All loans are domestic and contain no significant concentrations by industry or client. June 30, 2003 December 31, 2002 June 30, 2002 ----------------------- ----------------------- ------------------------- Total loans: Balance % of total Balance % of total Balance % of total ------- ---------- ------- ---------- ------- ---------- Personal $ 67,898 16.1% $ 71,010 16.5% $ 69,763 16.8% Business loans and commercial mortgages 228,165 53.9% 212,611 49.4% 195,063 46.9% Tax exempt 1,334 0.3% 1,417 0.3% 1,591 0.4% Residential mortgage 91,826 21.7% 110,985 25.8% 117,501 28.3% Construction 33,848 8.0% 34,503 8.0% 31,539 7.6% --------- ----- --------- ----- --------- ----- Total loans $ 423,071 100.0% $ 430,526 100.0% $ 415,457 100.0% ========= ===== ========= ===== ========= ===== The Company's subsidiary Banks ("Banks") continue to be providers of residential mortgage loans. As full service lenders, the Banks offer a variety of home mortgage loan products in their markets. Demand for loans Page 10 continues to be strong in all loan portfolios, although a significant portion of the Company's production of residential real estate mortgages is sold in the secondary markets. CREDIT QUALITY The Company continues to maintain a high level of asset quality as a result of actively monitoring delinquencies, nonperforming assets and potential problem loans. The aggregate amount of nonperforming loans is presented in the table below. For purposes of that summary, loans renewed on market terms existing at the time of renewal are not considered troubled debt restructurings. The accrual of interest income is discontinued when a loan becomes ninety days past due unless it is both well secured and in the process of collection, or the borrower's capacity to repay the loan and the collateral value appear sufficient. The chart below shows the aggregate amount of the Company's nonperforming assets by type, in thousands of dollars. 6/30/2003 12/31/2002 6/30/2002 --------- ---------- --------- Nonaccrual loans $ 4,598 $ 1,583 $ 1,449 Loans past due 90 days or more 737 748 237 Troubled debt restructurings - - 129 --------- ---------- --------- Total nonperforming loans 5,335 2,331 1,815 Other real estate 569 467 235 --------- ---------- --------- Total nonperforming assets $ 5,904 $ 2,798 $ 2,050 ========= ========== ========= Percent of nonperforming loans to total loans 1.26% 0.54% 0.44% Percent of nonperforming assets to total assets 0.98% 0.49% 0.37% The Company's classification of nonperforming loans is generally consistent with loans identified as impaired. The amount listed in the table above as other real estate reflects a small number of properties that were acquired in lieu of foreclosure. Total dollars in this category is up slightly from December 31, 2002. Properties have been leased to a third party with an option to purchase or are listed for sale, and no significant losses are anticipated. Nonperforming assets have increased from prior periods, as credit quality has declined somewhat. Balances in non-accrual loans are up substantially compared to the levels achieved at March 31, 2003 and June 30, 2002. Delinquencies are generally unchanged from year end 2002, and are up from the end of the second quarter of 2002. Overall, the Company's ratios of nonperforming loans have increased since December of 2002, substantially all as a result of the increase in nonaccrual loans. The Company's allowance for loan losses remains at a level consistent with its estimated potential losses. The provision provides for currently estimated losses inherent in the portfolio. Net charge-offs for the period have remained lower than the provision added to the allowance for loan losses, resulting in an increase in the allowance. An analysis of the allowance for loan losses, in thousands of dollars, for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 follows: 2003 2002 ------- -- ---- Balance at January 1: $ 4,975 $ 4,571 Loans charged off (333) (193) Recoveries credited to allowance 57 61 Provision charged to operations 609 409 ------- ------- Balance at June 30 $ 5,308 $ 4,848 ======= ======= Page 11 The Company has increased its provision for loan losses over the same period in 2002 as a result of continued loan growth and the upward trend in balances of nonperforming loans. The following table presents the allocation of the allowance for loan losses applicable to each loan category in thousands of dollars, as of June 30, 2003 and 2002, and December 31, 2002. 6/30/2003 12/31/2002 6/30/2002 --------- ---------- --------- Business and commercial mortgage $ 4,751 $ 3,950 $ 4,115 Tax exempt - - - Residential mortgage 38 15 21 Personal 519 571 561 Construction - - - Unallocated - 439 151 ------- ------- ------- Total $ 5,308 $ 4,975 $ 4,848 ======= ======= ======= One of the Company's largest single category of loans is also generally the one with the least risk. Loans to finance residential mortgages, including construction loans, make up 29.7% of the portfolio at June 30, 2003, and are well-secured and have had historically low levels of net losses. Personal and business loans make up the balance of the portfolio. The personal loan portfolio consists of direct and indirect installment, home equity and unsecured revolving line of credit loans. Installment loans consist primarily of loans for consumer durable goods, principally automobiles. Indirect personal loans consist of loans for automobiles and manufactured housing, but make up a small percent of the personal loans. Business loans carry the largest balances per loan, and therefore, any single loss would be proportionally larger than losses in other portfolios. Because of this, the Company uses an independent loan review firm to assess the continued quality of its business loan portfolios. This is in addition to the precautions taken with credit quality in the other loan portfolios. Business loans contain no significant concentrations other than geographic concentrations within Lenawee, Monroe and Washtenaw Counties in Michigan. DEPOSITS Deposit growth continued to be strong in the second quarter of 2003, as total deposits increased at an annualized rate of 21.4% in the quarter. Products such as money market deposit accounts, Cash Management Checking and Cash Management Accounts continue to be very popular with clients, aiding in continued deposit growth. At the same time, demand deposit balances continue their steady growth. Although clients continue to evaluate alternatives to certificates of deposit in search of the best yields on their funds, traditional banking products continue to be an important part of the Company's product line. As in the past, the majority of the Company's deposits are derived from core client sources, relating to long term relationships with local personal, business and public clients. The Banks do not support their growth through purchased or brokered deposits. The Banks' deposit rates are consistently competitive with other banks in their market areas. The chart below shows the percentage makeup of the deposit portfolio as of June 30, 2003 and 2002. 2003 2002 ------ ------ Noninterest bearing deposits 16.2% 13.8% Interest bearing deposits 83.8% 86.2% ----- ----- Total deposits 100.0% 100.0% ===== ===== Page 12 LIQUIDITY, CASH EQUIVALENTS AND BORROWED FUNDS The Company maintains correspondent accounts with a number of other banks for various purposes. In addition, cash sufficient to meet the operating needs of its banking offices is maintained at its lowest practical levels. At times, the Banks are a participant in the federal funds market, either as a borrower or seller. Federal funds are generally borrowed or sold for one-day periods. The Banks also have the ability to utilize short term advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") and borrowings at the discount window of the Federal Reserve Bank as additional short-term funding sources. Federal funds were used during 2003 and 2002. Short term advances and discount window borrowings were not utilized during either year. The Company periodically finds it advantageous to utilize longer term borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis. These long-term borrowings served to provide a balance to some of the interest rate risk inherent in the Company's balance sheet. CAPITAL RESOURCES The capital ratios of the Company exceed the regulatory guidelines for well capitalized institutions. The following table shows the Company's capital ratios and ratio calculations at June 30, 2003 and 2002, and December 31, 2002. Dollars are shown in thousands.

The following discussion provides an analysis of these changes. NET INTEREST INCOME Net interest income decreased by 2.6% from the second quarter of 2002, and was down 1.4% from the first quarter of this year. Year to date net interest income is substantially the same as the first six months of 2003, with more volume. During the second quarter of 2003, yields on earning assets and the cost of funds continued to decline as a result of the unprecedented decline in market interest rates initiated by the Federal Reserve during 2001, 2002 and 2003. At the same time, the Company's level of excess funding has increased, resulting in lower overall yields on earning assets. Year to date, spread and net interest margin is lower than that of the Page 13 same period of 2002. The following table shows the year to date daily average consolidated balance sheets, interest earned (on a taxable equivalent basis) or paid, and the annualized effective yield or rate, for the periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002.

(c) Annualized Page 14 As noted from the data in the following table, interest income and interest expense declined during the first six months of 2003 as a result of changes in rates. At the same time, net interest income improved as a result of changes in volume compared to the same period of 2002. The following table shows the effect of volume and rate changes on net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 on a taxable equivalent basis, in thousands of dollars. 2003 Compared to 2002 2002 Compared to 2001 ------------------------------ ------------------------------ Increase (Decrease) Due To: (a) Increase (Decrease) Due To: (a) ------------------------------ ------------------------------ Volume Rate Net Volume Rate Net ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- Interest earned on: Federal funds sold $ 60 $ (32) $ 28 $ (183) $ (285) $ (468) Taxable securities 3 (265) (262) 531 (371) 160 Tax exempt securities (152) (71) (223) 71 (117) (46) Taxable loans 1,009 (1,429) (420) 1,878 (2,384) (506) Tax exempt loans (16) (3) (19) (5) 2 (3) ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- Total interest income $ 904 $(1,800) $ (896) $ 2,292 $(3,155) $ (863) ======= ======= ======= ======= ======= ======= Interest paid on: NOW accounts $ 42 $ (89) $ (47) $ 192 $ (632) $ (440) Savings deposits 121 (296) (175) 548 (666) (118) CDs $100,000 and over (74) (104) (178) (204) (196) (400) Other interest bearing deposits (333) (418) (751) (707) (1,549) (2,256) Short term borrowings (3) (2) (5) 5 (5) - Other borrowings 419 (114) 305 339 (72) 267 ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- Total interest expense $ 172 $(1,023) $ (851) $ 173 $(3,120) $(2,947) ======= ======= ======= ======= ======= ======= Net change in net interest income $ 732 $ (777) $ (45) $ 2,119 $ (35) $ 2,084 ======= ======= ======= ======= ======= ======= (a) The change in interest due to both rate and volume has been allocated to volume and rate changes in proportion to the relationship of the absolute dollar amounts of the change in each. NONINTEREST INCOME Total noninterest income continues to improve on a quarter-by-quarter basis, and for the first six months of 2003, is ahead of the same period of 2002 by 24.8%. While Trust & Investment income and income from the sale of nondeposit investment products is down, most other categories of noninterest income are improved from the same period last year. The largest percentage increases achieved continues to be income from loan sales and servicing. Service charges on deposit accounts are up 14.0% over the first six months of 2002 and 2.3% above the first quarter of 2003. No significant changes were made in the Company's service charge structure during the quarter, and the increase reflects continued growth of the Company's deposit base. The Trust & Investment Group of UBT continues to provide significant contribution to the Company's noninterest income, through continued growth and expansion. However, this growth has been hindered during the past several quarters by declines in the equity markets, which impact the market value of assets managed and the resulting fee income. Income in this category is down 2.4% year to date from 2002, but is up 7.0% over the first quarter of 2003 as a result of improving equity markets in the second quarter. The Banks generally market their production of fixed rate long-term mortgages in the secondary market, and retain adjustable rate mortgages for their portfolios. The Company maintains a portfolio of sold residential real estate mortgages, which it continues to service. This servicing provides ongoing income for the life of the loans. During 2002 and 2003, clients continued to exhibit a preference for fixed rate loans as market rates declined, resulting in a greater proportion of those loans originated by the Banks being sold in the secondary market. Volume of residential mortgage lending continues to be very strong, and income Page 15 from the sale and servicing of loans was down 6.1% from the first quarter of 2003, but is up 169.5% over the six months of 2002. The Company does not believe that this volume of business is sustainable, and is likely to decline significantly when interest rates increase. As the Company is conservative in its approach to valuation of mortgage servicing rights, no write-downs in mortgage servicing rights were required in 2003 or 2002 as a result of declining market rates. NONINTEREST EXPENSES Total noninterest expenses increased 3.5% from the first to the second quarter of 2003, with most of the increase in occupancy and equipment expense. This primarily reflects the move of United Bank & Trust - Washtenaw to its new headquarters in March of 2003. Year to date, noninterest expenses are 5.8% higher than the same period of last year, with salaries and benefits also contributing to the increases. This growth in expense reflects the ongoing expansion of the Banks within their markets. FEDERAL INCOME TAX There has been no significant change in the income tax position of the Company. The effective tax rate was 30.7% for the second quarter of 2003 and 30.4% year to date, compared to 20.9% for the first quarter of 2003 and 28.5% for the first six months of 2002. This increase in effective tax rate is a result of lower yields on the Company's portfolio of tax-exempt loans and investments due to reinvestment during periods of declining rates. NET INCOME Income for the second quarter of 2003 represents the second-best second quarter in the Company's history, with a decline of 0.2% from the same period in 2002. In addition, net income was down from the record levels achieved in the prior three quarters. Management anticipates that net income will remain strong for the remainder of the year, but with a decrease in the amount of income attributed to gains on the sale of loans in the secondary market. At the same time, it is anticipated that other categories of income will improve from first-half levels, resulting in earnings for the year near 2002 levels. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES The accounting and reporting policies of the Company are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and conform to general practices within the banking industry. The Company's significant accounting policies are described in detail in the notes to the Company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2002. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions. The financial position and results of operations can be affected by these estimates and assumptions and are integral to the understanding of reported results. Critical accounting policies are those policies that management believes are the most important to the portrayal of the Company's financial condition and results, and they require management to make estimates that are difficult, subjective, or complex. Allowance for Credit Losses The allowance for credit losses provides coverage for probable losses inherent in the Company's loan portfolio. Management evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses each quarter based on changes, if any, in underwriting activities, the loan portfolio composition (including product mix and geographic, industry or customer-specific concentrations), trends in loan performance, regulatory guidance and economic factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires the use of significant management estimates. Many factors can affect management's estimates of specific and expected losses, including volatility of default probabilities, rating migrations, loss severity and economic and political conditions. The allowance is increased through provisions charged to operating earnings and reduced by net charge-offs. Page 16 The Company determines the amount of the allowance based on relative risk characteristics of the loan portfolio. The allowance recorded for commercial loans is based on reviews of individual credit relationships and an analysis of the migration of commercial loans and actual loss experience. The allowance recorded for homogeneous consumer loans is based on an analysis of loan mix, risk characteristics of the portfolio, fraud loss and bankruptcy experiences, and historical losses, adjusted for current trends, for each homogeneous category or group of loans. The allowance for credit losses relating to impaired loans is based on the loan's observable market price, the collateral for certain collateral-dependent loans, or the discounted cash flows using the loan's effective interest rate. Regardless of the extent of the Company's analysis of client performance, portfolio trends or risk management processes, certain inherent but undetected losses are probable within the loan portfolio. This is due to several factors including inherent delays in obtaining information regarding a client's financial condition or changes in their unique business conditions, the judgmental nature of individual loan evaluations, collateral assessments and the interpretation of economic trends. Volatility of economic or client-specific conditions affecting the identification and estimation of losses for larger non-homogeneous credits and the sensitivity of assumptions utilized to establish allowances for homogenous groups of loans are among other factors. The Company estimates a range of inherent losses related to the existence of these exposures. The estimates are based upon the Company's evaluation of imprecision risk associated with the commercial and consumer allowance levels and the estimated impact of the current economic environment. Mortgage Servicing Rights Mortgage servicing rights ("MSRs") associated with loans originated and sold, where servicing is retained, are capitalized and included in other intangible assets in the consolidated balance sheet. The value of the capitalized servicing rights represents the present value of the future servicing fees arising from the right to service loans in the portfolio. Critical accounting policies for MSRs relate to the initial valuation and subsequent impairment tests. The methodology used to determine the valuation of MSRs requires the development and use of a number of estimates, including anticipated principal amortization and prepayments of that principal balance. Events that may significantly affect the estimates used are changes in interest rates, mortgage loan prepayment speeds and the payment performance of the underlying loans. The carrying value of the MSRs is periodically reviewed for impairment based on a determination of fair value. For purposes of measuring impairment, the servicing rights are compared to a valuation prepared based on a discounted cash flow methodology, utilizing current prepayment speeds and discount rates. Impairment, if any, is recognized through a valuation allowance and is recorded as amortization of intangible assets. Goodwill and Other Intangibles The Company records all assets and liabilities acquired in purchase acquisitions, including goodwill and other intangibles, at fair value as required by SFAS 141. Goodwill is subject, at a minimum, to annual tests for impairment. Other intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives using straight-line and accelerated methods, and are subject to impairment if events or circumstances indicate a possible inability to realize the carrying amount. The initial goodwill and other intangibles recorded and subsequent impairment analysis requires management to make subjective judgments concerning estimates of how the acquired asset will perform in the future. Events and factors that may significantly affect the estimates include, among others, customer attrition, changes in revenue growth trends, specific industry conditions and changes in competition. FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS Statements contained in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations include forward-looking statements that are based on management's beliefs, assumptions, current expectations, estimates and projections about the financial services industry, the economy, and about the Company itself. Words such as "anticipate," "believe," "determine," "estimate," "expect," "forecast," "intend," Page 17 "is likely," "plan," "project," "opinion," variations of such terms, and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. The presentations and discussions of the provision and allowance for loan losses, and determinations as to the need for other allowances presented in this report are inherently forward-looking statements in that they involve judgments and statements of belief as to the outcome of future events. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that are difficult to predict with regard to timing, extent, likelihood, and degree of occurrence. Therefore, actual results and outcomes may materially differ from what may be expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. Internal and external factors that may cause such a difference include changes in interest rates and interest rate relationships; demand for products and services; the degree of competition by traditional and non-traditional competitors; changes in banking laws and regulations; changes in tax laws; changes in prices, levies, and assessments; the impact of technological advances; governmental and regulatory policy changes; the outcomes of pending and future litigation and contingencies; trends in customer behavior and customer ability to repay loans; software failure, errors or miscalculations; and the vicissitudes of the national economy. The Company undertakes no obligation to update, amend or clarify forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. ITEM 3- QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK FUNDS MANAGEMENT AND INTEREST RATE RISK The composition of the Company's balance sheet consists of investments in interest earning assets (loans and investment securities) that are funded by interest bearing liabilities (deposits and borrowings). These financial instruments have varying levels of sensitivity to changes in market interest rates resulting in market risk. Policies place strong emphasis on stabilizing net interest margin, with the goal of providing a sustained level of satisfactory earnings. The Funds Management, Investment and Loan policies provide direction for the flow of funds necessary to supply the needs of depositors and borrowers. Management of interest sensitive assets and liabilities is also necessary to reduce interest rate risk during times of fluctuating interest rates. A number of measures are used to monitor and manage interest rate risk, including interest sensitivity and income simulation analyses. An interest sensitivity model is the primary tool used to assess this risk with supplemental information supplied by an income simulation model. The simulation model is used to estimate the effect that specific interest rate changes would have on twelve months of pretax net interest income assuming an immediate and sustained up or down parallel change in interest rates of 200 basis points. Key assumptions in the models include prepayment speeds on mortgage related assets; cash flows and maturities of financial instruments held for purposes other than trading; changes in market conditions, loan volumes and pricing; and management's determination of core deposit sensitivity. These assumptions are inherently uncertain and, as a result, the models cannot precisely estimate net interest income or precisely predict the impact of higher or lower interest rates on net interest income. Actual results will differ from simulated results due to timing, magnitude, and frequency of interest rate changes and changes in market conditions. Based on the results of the simulation model as of June 30, 2003, the Company would expect a maximum potential reduction in net interest margin of less than 10% if market rates increased under an immediate and sustained parallel shift of 200 basis points. The Company's interest sensitivity position is slightly more asset- sensitive than in the first quarter, continuing a trend evident throughout 2002. The Company anticipates that interest rates will rise, and has positioned its balance sheet to take advantage of this expected increase in rates. As a result, current net interest income has been lowered in order to improve net interest margin in the future. Each Bank maintains a Funds Management Committee, which reviews exposure to market risk on a regular basis. The Committees' overriding policy objective is to manage assets and liabilities to provide an optimum and consistent level of earnings within the framework of acceptable risk standards. The Funds Management Committees are also responsible for evaluating and anticipating various risks other than interest rate risk. Page 18 Those risks include prepayment risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Committees are made up of senior members of management, and continually monitor the makeup of interest sensitive assets and liabilities to assure appropriate liquidity, maintain interest margins and to protect earnings in the face of changing interest rates and other economic factors. The Funds Management policies provide for a level of interest sensitivity which, Management believes, allows the Banks to take advantage of opportunities within their markets relating to liquidity and interest rate risk, allowing flexibility without subjecting the Company to undue exposure to risk. In addition, other measures are used to evaluate and project the anticipated results of Management's decisions. ITEM 4- CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES INTERNAL CONTROL The Company maintains internal controls that contain self-monitoring mechanisms, and actions are taken to correct deficiencies as they are identified. The Board, operating through its Audit and Compliance Committee, provides oversight to the financial reporting process. Even effective internal controls, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations, including the possibility of circumvention or overriding of controls. Accordingly, even effective internal controls can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation. Furthermore, the effectiveness of internal controls may vary over time. The Company's Audit and Compliance Committee is composed entirely of Directors who are not officers or employees of the Company. Within the 90-day period prior to the filing date of this report, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of United Bancorp's management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based on their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that United Bancorp's disclosure controls and procedures are, to the best of their knowledge, effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. Subsequent to the date of their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that there were no significant changes in the company's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect its internal controls, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses. PART II OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1- LEGAL PROCEEDINGS The Company is not involved in any material legal proceedings. The Company's banking subsidiaries are involved in ordinary routine litigation incident to its business; however, no such proceedings are expected to result in any material adverse effect on the operations or earnings of the Banks. Neither the Banks nor the Company are involved in any proceedings to which any director, principal officer, affiliate thereof, or person who owns of record or beneficially five percent (5%) or more of the outstanding stock of the Company, or any associate of the foregoing, is a party or has a material interest adverse to the Company or the Banks.
