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 subsidiary, United
Bank & Trust ("Bank") for the three month period ending March 31, 1997.

                              FINANCIAL CONDITION

SECURITIES
Investment balances increased moderately during the first three months of 1997.
A slight decline in total loans combined with increased deposit growth is the
largest contributing factor for the increase.

The mix of the investment portfolio remained relatively unchanged from December
31 and March 31, 1996.

LOANS
Loan volume slowed for the first quarter 1997. Business loans increased,
continuing trends of prior quarters, while personal loans and residential
mortgages declined slightly. The Company sold $6.1 million of loans originated
for sale, compared to $8.5 million during the first quarter of 1996. Clients
continue to move from variable rate to fixed rate loans, resulting in a greater
number of loans being sold on the secondary market rather than being retained
in the portfolio.

The mix of the portfolio has remained relatively unchanged from prior periods,
although the general trend is toward an increased percentage of personal and
business loans, with slight declines in tax exempt and residential mortgage
loans. The table below shows total loans outstanding, in thousands of dollars,
at March 31 and December 31, and their percentage of the total loan portfolio.
All loans are domestic and contain no concentrations by industry or
customer.

CREDIT QUALITY
The Company continues to maintain a high level of asset quality compared to
peers, as a result of actively monitoring delinquencies, nonperforming assets
and potential problem loans. In addition, the Bank uses an independent loan
review firm to assess the continued quality of its business loan portfolio.
Nonperforming loans are comprised of (1) loans accounted for on a nonaccrual
basis: (2) loans contractually past due 90 days or more as to interest or
principal payments (but not included in the nonaccrual loans in (1) above); and
(3) other loans whose terms have been renegotiated to provide a reduction or
deferral of interest or principal because of a deterioration in the financial
position of the borrower (exclusive of loans in (1) or (2) above). The
aggregate amount of nonperforming loans, in thousands of dollars, is shown in
the table below. The Company's classification of nonperforming loans are
generally consistent with loans identified as impaired.

Nonperforming loans decreased from end of year and from the same period in
1996. Loans past due ninety days or more remain relatively flat from the
comparable periods at December 31 and March 31, 1996. Overall, delinquency is
well below industry standards, although is higher than traditionally
experienced by the Company. The amount listed for other real estate relates to
property that has been leased to a third party with an option to purchase, and
no loss is anticipated.

An analysis of the allowance for loan losses, in thousands of dollars, for the
three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 follows:

   Balance at end of period                                 $2,330           $2,250


The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level believed adequate by
Management to absorb potential losses in the loan portfolio.

DEPOSITS
Total deposits grew moderately during the first quarter. Noninterest bearing
deposits continue to fluctuate with swings in corporate and public fund
balances. These deposits declined from year end, but show increases from the
first quarter of 1996.

Other interest bearing deposit balances increased during the first three months
of 1997 reflecting growth in our Cash Management and Certificates of Deposit
accounts. Seasonal increases in public sector funds account for a significant
portion of this growth. Other interest bearing deposits remain relatively flat
year to date. Management anticipates that deposit growth during the remainder
of 1997 will be steady, with anticipated growth from new markets, as well as
from consumer re-entry into the certificate of deposit market.

                         LIQUIDITY AND FUNDS MANAGEMENT

LIQUIDITY
Loan balances decreased during the quarter, and coupled with moderate deposit
growth, resulted in increased liquidity during the period. The Bank moved from
a net fed funds borrowed position to a net funds sold position during the
quarter, and the increase in liquidity also provided funds to repay $10 million
of advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank and to fund investment security
purchases.

Management anticipates moving in and out of the fed funds market as liquidity
needs require.  Seasonal deposit fluctuations, with continued loan demand, will
cause the borrowed funds position of the Company to vary. The Company has a
number of additional liquidity sources should the need arise, but Management
has no concerns for the liquidity position of the Company.

FUNDS MANAGEMENT
The Funds Management Policy of the Bank provides tolerances for the cumulative
gap ratio and total interest rate exposure. While the internal measures as
dictated by policy are calculated with a slight difference than shown in the
table below, all funds management ratios remain within policy. During the first
quarter of 1997, these ratios have changed only modestly from those reported at
March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1996, in spite of significant shifts in the
Bank's liquidity position.

The following table shows the rate sensitivity of earning assets and
liabilities, in thousands of dollars, as of March 31, 1997.

                             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NET INTEREST INCOME
First quarter net interest income increased $174,000 or 5.3% from the same
period in 1996.  However, net spread showed a slight decline from prior
periods. The spread at March 31, 1997 was 3.84%, compared to 4.09% at March 31,
1996 and 4.15% for all of 1996. The net yield on interest earning assets was at
4.39% for the first quarter, compared to 4.62% at March 31, 1996 and 4.71% for
year end 1996.

This decline is a result of temporary excess liquidity during the quarter,
resulting in high levels of funds sold at relatively low rates. Management has
taken steps to invest this excess liquidity to provide a better return while
remaining flexible.

The table below shows the year to date daily average Consolidated Balance
Sheet, interest earned (on a taxable equivalent basis) or paid, and the
annualized effective rate or yield, for the period ended March 31, 1997 and
1996.

NONINTEREST INCOME
Most categories of noninterest income increased from the same period in 1996.
However, due to volume decreases, income from sales and servicing of loans and
income from sales of nondeposit products showed modest declines from the first
quarter of 1996. Total noninterest income for the first three months is up by
1.4% from the same period of 1996.

NONINTEREST EXPENSES
Most categories of noninterest expense showed moderate increases over the first
quarter of 1996, reflecting continued growth and expansion of the Bank. Total
noninterest expense, excluding provision for loan losses, for the first quarter
is 10.4% above the same period for 1996.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX
There is no significant change in the income tax position of the Company during
the first three months of 1997.

NET INCOME
Consolidated net income for the quarter decreased from the fourth quarter of
1996 and is slightly behind the record first quarter of a year ago. Year to
date consolidated net income of $1,030,000 is 7.62% below the $1,115,000 earned
in the first quarter of 1996. Return on consolidated average assets for the
quarter was 1.19%, compared to 1.45% for all of 1996, and 1.40% for the first
three months of 1996.
