NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) FORM 10-Q 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 consolidated financial position of the Company at March 31, 1997 and its results of operations and statements of cash flows for the periods presented. These adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not purport to contain all the necessary financial disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles that might otherwise be necessary in the circumstances and should be read in conjunction with the 1996 United Bancorp, Inc. consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in its Annual Report To Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 1996. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of United Bancorp, Inc. (Company) and its wholly owned subsidiaries, (Banks) The Citizens Savings Bank, Martins Ferry, Ohio (Citizens-Martins Ferry) and The Citizens-State Bank of Strasburg, Strasburg, Ohio (Citizens-Strasburg). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations for the period ended March 31, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year of 1997. NATURE OF OPERATIONS: The Company and Banks' revenues, operating income and assets are primarily from the banking industry. Loan customers are mainly located in Belmont, Jefferson, Tuscarawas and Carroll Counties and the surrounding localities in northeastern and eastern Ohio, and include a wide range of individuals, businesses and other organizations. A major portion of loans are secured by various forms of collateral including real estate, business assets, consumer property and other items, although borrower cash flow may also be a primary source of payment. Citizens-Martins Ferry conducts its business through its main office in Martins Ferry, Ohio and two branches located in Bridgeport and Colerain, Ohio. Citizens-Strasburg conducts its business through its main office in Strasburg, Ohio and its four branches located in Dover, New Philadelphia, Sherrodsville and Dellroy, Ohio. USE OF ESTIMATES: To prepare financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management makes estimates and assumptions based 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 collectibility of loans, fair values of financial instruments and status of contingencies are particularly subject to change. CASH FLOW REPORTING: Cash and cash equivalents are defined as cash and due from banks and federal funds sold. Net cash flows are reported for customer loan and deposit transactions, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and short-term borrowings. 6 7 UNITED BANCORP, INC. NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) FORM 10-Q 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) SECURITIES: Securities are classified as held to maturity and carried at amortized cost when management has the positive intent and ability to hold them to maturity. Securities are classified as available for sale when they might be sold before maturity. Securities available for sale are carried at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses reported separately in shareholders' equity, net of tax. Securities are classified as trading when held for short term periods in anticipation of market gains and are carried at fair value. Securities are written down to fair value when a decline in fair value is not temporary. Gains and losses on sales are determined using the amortized cost of the specific security sold. Interest income includes amortization of purchase premiums and discounts. LOANS: Loans are reported at the principal balance outstanding, net of deferred loan fees and costs. Interest income is reported on the interest method and includes amortization of net deferred loan fees and costs over the loan term. Interest income is not reported when full loan repayment is in doubt, typically when payments are past due over 90 days. Payments received on such loans are reported as principal reductions. ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES: The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance, increased by the provision for loan losses and decreased by charge-offs less recoveries. Management estimates the allowance balance required based on past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values, economic conditions and other factors. Allocations of the allowance may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in management's judgment, should be charged-off. Effective January 1, 1995, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") Nos. 114 and 118, which modify the accounting for impaired loans. A loan is considered impaired when management believes that full collection of principal and interest is not probable. The Company reduces the carrying value of impaired loans to the present value of expected future cash flows, or to the fair value of collateral if the loan is collateral dependent, by allocating a portion of the allowance for loan losses to such loans. If these allocations should require an increase to the allowance, such increase is reported as bad debt expense. 7 8 UNITED BANCORP, INC. NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) FORM 10-Q 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES: (CONTINUED) Management analyzes commercial and commercial real estate loans on an individual basis and classifies a loan as impaired when an analysis of the borrower's operating results and financial condition indicates that underlying cash flows are not adequate to meet its debt service requirements. Often this is associated with a delay or shortfall in payments of 30 days or more, or when the internal grading system indicates a doubtful classification. Loan impairment is evaluated in total for smaller-balance loans of similar nature. Such loans include residential first mortgage loans secured by one-to-four family residences, residential construction loans and consumer automobile, boat and home equity loans. The carrying values of impaired loans are periodically adjusted to reflect cash payments, revised estimates of future cash flows and increases in the present value of expected cash flows due to the passage of time. Cash payments representing interest income are reported as such. Other cash payments are reported as reductions in carrying value, while increases or decreases due to changes in future payments and due to the passage of time are reported as part of the provision for loan losses. PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT: Asset cost is reported net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation expense is calculated on the straight-line method over asset useful lives. These assets are reviewed for impairment when events indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. OTHER REAL ESTATE: Real estate acquired in settlement of loans is initially reported at estimated fair value at acquisition. After acquisition, a valuation allowance reduces the reported amount to the lower of the initial amount or fair value less costs to sell. Expenses, gains and losses on disposition and changes in the valuation allowance are reported in other expenses. LOAN SERVICING: The Company became subject to the provisions of SFAS No. 122, "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights," on January 1, 1996. This Standard requires entities to recognize, as separate assets, rights to service mortgage loans for others, regardless of how these rights are acquired. Mortgage servicing rights acquired through either the purchase or the origination of mortgage loans which are subsequently sold with servicing rights retained should be determined by allocating the total cost of the mortgage loans to mortgage servicing rights and to loans (without the mortgage servicing rights) based on their relative fair values. Mortgage servicing rights recorded as a separate asset are amortized in proportion to, and over the period of, estimated net servicing income. SFAS 122 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements at January 1, 1996. 8 9 UNITED BANCORP, INC. NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) FORM 10-Q 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) IDENTIFIED INTANGIBLES: Identified intangibles include the value of depositor relationships purchased which are being amortized on an accelerated method over eight years. Identified intangibles also include a non-compete covenant and capitalized organizational costs which are being amortized on a straight-line method over five years. Identified intangibles are assessed for impairment based on estimated undiscounted cash flows and written down if necessary. At March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996, identified intangibles net of accumulated amortization totaled $151,150 and $173,638 and are included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS: A defined benefit pension plan covers all employees who have completed 1,000 hours of service during an anniversary year, measured from their date of hire, who have attained age 21 and who were hired before age 60. The plan calls for benefits to be paid to eligible employees at retirement, based primarily upon years of service and compensation rates near retirement. Contributions to the plan reflect benefits attributed to employees' services to date, as well as services expected to be earned in the future. Plan assets consist of primarily common stock and certificates of deposit. Beginning March of 1995, the Company began offering a 401(k) plan which covers all employees who have attained the age of 21 and have completed one year of service. Eligible employees may contribute up to 15% of their compensation subject to a maximum statutory limitation. The Company may make a discretionary matching contribution equal to a percentage of each participant's elective deferral not to exceed 6% of the participant's annual compensation. Employee contributions are always vested. Employer contributions become 100% vested after 5 years of service. Expense of the defined benefit plan is reported by spreading the expected contributions to the plan less long-term earnings on plan assets over the employee's service period. Expense of the 401(k) plan is based on the annual contribution. STOCK COMPENSATION: Expense for employee compensation under stock option plans is based on Opinion 25, with expense reported only if options are granted below market price at grant date. INCOME TAXES: Income tax expense is the sum 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. 9 10 UNITED BANCORP, INC. NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) FORM 10-Q 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) STOCK DIVIDENDS: Dividends issued in stock are reported by transferring the market value of the stock issued from retained earnings to common stock and additional paid-in-capital. Stock splits are recorded by transferring the par value of shares issued from retained earnings to common stock. On April 17, 1996, a 10% stock dividend was approved for all shareholders of record on May 20, 1996 and distributed on June 20, 1996. EARNINGS AND DIVIDENDS PER COMMON SHARE: Earnings per common share is based on the weighted-average number of shares outstanding for the period. Stock options outstanding do not presently have a dilutive effect greater than or equal to 3% on earnings per common share. All per share data has been retroactively adjusted for the 10% stock dividend in 1996. RECLASSIFICATIONS: Some items in prior financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the current presentation. IMPACT OF RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS: SFAS No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities," was issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") in 1996. It revises the accounting for transfers of financial assets, such as loans and securities, and for distinguishing between sales and secured borrowings. It was originally effective for some transactions in 1997 and others in 1998. SFAS No. 127, "Deferral of the Effective Date of Certain Provisions of FASB Statement No. 125" was issued in December 1996. SFAS No. 127 defers for one year the effective date of provisions related to securities lending, repurchase agreements and other similar transactions. The remaining portions of SFAS No. 125 will continue to be effective January 1, 1997. SFAS No. 125 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements. In March 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" which is effective for financial statements for periods ending after December 15, 1997, including interim periods. SFAS No. 128 simplifies the calculation of earnings per share by replacing primary EPS with basic EPS. It also requires dual presentation of basis EPS and diluted EPS for entities with complex capital structures. Basic EPS includes no dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in earnings such as stock options, warrants or other common stock equivalents. All prior period EPS data will be restated to conform with the new presentation. 10 11 UNITED BANCORP, INC. NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) FORM 10-Q 2.

SECURITIES SOLD UNDER AGREEMENTS TO REPURCHASE Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are financing arrangements whereby the Banks sell securities and agree to repurchase the identical securities at the maturities of the agreements at specified prices.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES There are various contingent liabilities that are not reflected in 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 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 amount 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 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, the total commitments does 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. 14 15 UNITED BANCORP, INC.

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK The Banks grant commercial, commercial real estate, real estate and installment loans to customers mainly in Belmont, Tuscarawas and Carroll Counties and the surrounding localities. The Banks also grant commercial and commercial real estate loans in the Columbus, Ohio area. Substantially all loans are secured by specific items of collateral including business assets, consumer assets, commercial real estate and residential real estate. At March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996, total commercial and commercial real estate loans made up 40.7% and 40.4%, respectively of the loan portfolio, with 27.1% and 29.4% of these loans secured by commercial and residential real estate and business assets in the Columbus, Ohio area. At March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996, installment loans account for 34.0% of the loan portfolio and are secured by consumer assets including automobiles which account for 83.9% and 83.1%, respectively of the installment loan portfolio. Real estate loans comprise 25.3% and 25.5% of the loan portfolio as of March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996, respectively, and primarily include first mortgage loans on residential properties and home equity lines of credit. Included in cash and due from banks and Federal funds sold as of March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996 is $8,259,836 and $3,639,127, respectively on deposit with a correspondent bank. 15 16 UNITED BANCORP, INC.

DIVIDEND RESTRICTION Dividends paid by the subsidiary banks are the primary source of funds available to the Company for payment of dividends to shareholders and for other working capital needs. Applicable state statutes and regulations impose restrictions on the amount of dividends that may be declared by the Company. Those restrictions generally limit dividends to the current and prior two years earnings, (as defined), totaling $4,306,323 as of March 31, 1997. In addition to these restrictions, as a practical matter, dividend payments cannot reduce regulatory capital levels below minimum regulatory guidelines. These restrictions would not limit the Company's ability to pay normal dividends. 16 17 UNITED BANCORP, INC. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FORM 10-Q In the following pages, Management presents an analysis of United Bancorp, Inc.'s financial condition at March 31, 1997 compared to December 31, 1996 and results of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 1997 compared to the same period in 1996. This discussion is designed to provide shareholders with a more comprehensive review of the operating results and financial position than could be obtained from an examination of the financial statements alone. This analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related footnotes and the selected financial data included elsewhere in this report. United Bancorp, Inc. was created as a single bank holding company in July of 1983 through the acquisition of 100% of the voting stock of The Citizens Savings Bank of Martins Ferry, Ohio. United Bancorp, Inc. became a multi-bank holding company in December of 1986 through the purchase of 100% of the voting stock of The Citizens-State Bank of Strasburg, Strasburg, Ohio. Common stock was available through over-the-counter trading until February 1994 when it began trading on The Nasdaq SmallCaps Market tier of The Nasdaq Stock Market under the trading symbol UBCP. The Citizens Savings Bank (Citizens-Martins Ferry), originally established as The German Savings Bank in 1902, remains the lead bank in the multi-bank holding company and continues as an integral part of the development of the commercial and residential base in Martins Ferry and other local communities. The Bank expanded its market through the construction of a full service branch banking facility six miles west in nearby Colerain, Ohio in 1974. Expansion opportunities continued in 1978 with the construction of another full service branch bank in Bridgeport, Ohio, located two miles south of Martins Ferry. A limited service auto-teller facility was opened in Martins Ferry in 1980, one block south of the former main office location. An Automated Teller Machine (ATM) began operation in nearby Aetnaville, Ohio in 1983, providing additional 24 hour limited banking services to area residents. The main banking facility outgrew the physical limitations of its previous location and subsequently relocated in 1984 to a newly constructed 21,500 square foot addition to the auto-teller facility mentioned above. The Citizens-State Bank of Strasburg (Citizens-Strasburg), was also established in 1902 and is located in an area of northeastern Ohio whose economy is supported by agriculture and light industry. Additionally, it benefits as a "bedroom community" for the Akron-Canton metropolitan area. Citizens-Strasburg joined the bank holding company in 1986 through the acquisition of 100% of its voting stock by UBCP. Citizens-Strasburg constructed a new full service banking facility in Dover, Ohio in 1990. This expansion was soon followed with the acquisition of two branch banking facilities in New Philadelphia and Sherrodsville in 1992. Additionally, a branch banking facility located in Dellroy, Ohio was acquired in 1994. This most recent acquisition brought the number of offices to five for Citizens-Strasburg and eight overall for UBCP. 17 18 UNITED BANCORP, INC. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FORM 10 - Q FINANCIAL CONDITION EARNING ASSETS - LOANS At March 31, 1997, gross loans were $132,266,000 compared to $132,661,000 at year-end 1996. This decline in lending volume is the result of several large dollar prepayments of commercial loans at the end of the quarter and the impact of a local steel strike in the Citizens-Martins Ferry market area. While some commercial loan growth opportunities continue to be available within the Company's markets, the installment lending growth potential remains questionable within the Citizens-Martins Ferry market due to the prolonged strike. Real estate loan origination volume is expected to increase due to the Banks' involvement in the secondary market program, however, as these loans will be sold, the balance of real estate loans held in the portfolio is expected to decline. Installment loans, with continued emphasis placed on support of the indirect automobile lending market, remained static at 34.0 % of total loans at March 31, 1997 compared to year-end 1996. 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 eight branch locations. Commercial real estate loans comprised 31.0% of total loans at March 31, 1997 compared to 31.1% at year-end 1996. Commercial loans were 9.7% and 9.4% of the total portfolio mix at March 31, 1997 and year-end 1996. Only slight to moderate commercial loan growth is anticipated throughout the remainder of 1997. Out of area loans occur mostly in the Columbus and Akron-Canton, Ohio areas. Lending beyond the local area has been for projects and borrowers with substantial net worth. The majority of these loans are secured by real estate holdings comprised of hotels, motels and churches located in various geographic locations minimizing potential risks associated with lending activities specific to a limited area. Out of area loans at March 31, 1997 were 11.0% of total loans and 27.1% of total commercial, and commercial real estate loans compared to 11.9% and 29.4% at year-end 1996. Real estate loans were 25.3% of total loans at March 31, 1997 compared to 25.5% at year-end 1996. As indicated above, the Banks' involvement in the secondary market program should yield increases in loan origination volume. It is anticipated that borrower preferences will favor the secondary market product offerings with a decline expected in real estate loans held within the loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses represents the amount which management and the Board of Directors estimates is adequate to provide for inherent losses in the loan portfolio. The allowance balance and the annual provision charged to expense are reviewed by management and the Board of Directors monthly using a risk code model that considers borrowers past due experience, economic conditions and various other circumstances that are subject to change over time. Management believes the balance of the allowance for loan losses currently in place continues to be sufficient to deal with potential losses associated with the steel strike. Charge-offs for the three months ended March 31, 1997 were less than half of the total for the same period in 1996. 18 19 UNITED BANCORP, INC. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FORM 10 - Q EARNING ASSETS - SECURITIES AND FEDERAL FUNDS SOLD The securities portfolio is comprised of U.S. Treasury notes and other 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 known levels of credit risk. Securities available for sale at March 31, 1997 decreased $2,252,000, or 8.0% from year-end 1996 totals. This downward movement resulted partially from the calls and maturities of $2,000,000 in securities and the unrealized loss market value adjustment of approximately $61,000 (before tax effect) at March 31, 1997 compared to an unrealized gain market value adjustment of approximately $214,000 (before tax effect) at year-end 1996. Securities held to maturity decreased a net $470,000 at March 31, 1997 compared to year-end 1996 totals. Short-term federal funds sold are used to manage interest rate sensitivity and to meet liquidity needs of the Banks. At March 31, 1997, federal funds sold totaled $2,275,000 compared to $225,000 at year-end 1996. The Company maintained a higher balance in liquid funds such as overnight funds awaiting anticipated changes in yields related to securities and to fund loan growth. SOURCES OF FUNDS - DEPOSITS The Company's primary source of funds is core deposits from retail and business customers. These core deposits include interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing deposits, excluding certificates of deposit over $100,000. Total core deposits increased $1,187,000 during the three months ended March 31, 1997 primarily from savings accounts and certificates of deposit less than $100,000. The Company has a strong deposit base from public agencies, including local school districts, city and township municipalities, public works facilities and others which 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 over $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, 1997, certificates of deposit over $100,000 increased $339,000 over year-end 1996 totals. SOURCES OF FUNDS - SECURITIES SOLD UNDER AGREEMENTS TO REPURCHASE AND OTHER SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS Other interest-bearing liabilities include securities sold under agreements to repurchase, sweep accounts, Federal funds purchased, Treasury, Tax & Loan note payable and Federal Home Loan Bank advances. Total short-term borrowings at March 31, 1997 remained fairly constant in relation to year-end 1996 levels. 19 20 UNITED BANCORP, INC. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FORM 10 - Q PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW NET INCOME Net income for the three months ended March 31, 1997 was $678,434, representing a 4.8% increase in earnings over March 31, 1996 totals. This equates to an annualized income performance of 1.34% Return on Average Assets (ROA) and a 13.41% Return on Average Equity (ROE). 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 5.6% for the three months ended March 31, 1997 compared to the same three month period in 1996. Total interest income for the three months ended March 31, 1997 when compared to the same three months ended March 31, 1996 increased $227,000, or 6.2%. The largest component of this increase was interest and fee income from loans, increasing 7.9% due to a higher average balance of loans in the first quarter of 1997 compared to the first quarter of 1996. Total interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 1997 increased $113,000, or 6.9% over the same three months in 1996. This increase in interest expense was primarily the result of a higher volume of interest-bearing liabilities. PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES The provision for loan losses is an operating expense recorded to maintain the related balance sheet allowance for loan losses at an amount considered adequate to cover losses that may occur in the normal course of lending. The total provision for loan losses was $111,000 for both the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996. Management has maintained the relative level of the provision in relation to loan growth experienced throughout the first three months of 1997. If events in the Wheeling-Pittsburgh Steel strike mentioned above unfold in ways unforeseen, changes to the provision amount would be initiated as management deems appropriate. NONINTEREST INCOME Total noninterest income is made up of Bank related fees and service charges, as well as other income producing services provided, including ATM income, early redemption penalties for certificates of deposits, safe deposit rental income and other miscellaneous items. Noninterest income for the three months ended March 31, 1997 remained fairly constant in relation to the same three months ended March 31, 1996. NONINTEREST EXPENSE Noninterest expense for the three months ended March 31, 1997 increased $93,000, or 7.3% over the three months ended March 31, 1996. The largest contributor to this change was the additional depreciation expense recognized on new data processing and item processing equipment which was installed during the third quarter of 1996. The prior year three month period had reduced expense due to the original Data Processing equipment being fully depreciated in May of 1995. 20 21 UNITED BANCORP, INC. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FORM 10 - Q CAPITAL RESOURCES Internal capital growth, through the retention of earnings, is the primary means of maintaining capital adequacy for the Company. Shareholder equity at March 31, 1997 was $20,283,000 compared to $20,016,000 at December 31, 1996, a 1.3% increase. Equity at March 31, 1997 includes a $46,000 unrecognized loss in equity due to the after tax impact of the fair value of securities categorized as available for sale as compared to a $141,000 increase in equity at December 31, 1996. Total shareholder's equity in relation to total assets was 9.9% at March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996. During 1996, the Company initiated 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 provides an economical and convenient method for the holders of shares of the Company's common stock to purchase additional shares of common stock at market prices and without payment of brokerage commissions or service charges. The Plan does not represent a change in the Company's dividend policy or a guarantee of future dividends. Shareholders who do not wish to participate in the Plan will continue to receive cash dividends, as declared in the usual and customary manner. The Company has approved the issuance of 150,000 authorized and unissued shares of the Company's common stock for purchase under The Plan. To date, all shares purchased by the Plan except for 797 shares purchased on October 21, 1996 have been purchased on the open market. 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. 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% 21 22 UNITED BANCORP, INC. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FORM 10 - Q CAPITAL RESOURCES (CONTINUED) The following table illustrates the Company's risk-weighted capital ratios at March 31, 1997: MARCH 31, 1997 -------------------- Tier 1 capital $ 20,173,000 Total risk-based capital $ 21,880,000 Risk-weighted assets $ 136,151,000 Average total assets $ 202,498,000 Tier 1 capital to average assets 9.96% Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio 14.82% Total risk-based capital ratio 16.07% LIQUIDITY Management's objective in managing liquidity is to maintain the ability to continue to meet 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 Banks have additional sources of liquidity available to ensure that adequate funds are available as needed which 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 is has the capital adequacy, profitability and reputation to meet the current and projected needs of its customers. For the three months ended March 31, 1997, the adjustment 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. The net cash increase of $4,638,000, of which $2,536,000 was from the maturities/calls of securities, was held in anticipation of expected loan funding in early April. For a more detailed illustration of sources and uses of cash, refer to the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. 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 Generally Accepted Accounting principles (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 which 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 affects 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. 22 23 UNITED BANCORP, INC.
