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 and nine month periods ending September 30,
1998.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
SECURITIES
Maturities in the investment portfolio, as well as unfavorable market conditions
for reinvestment during the quarter resulted in a slight decline in balances of
securities, although balances continue to exceed 1997 levels. This is a result
of recent trends of continued deposit growth that exceeds loan demand. The mix
of the portfolio remained relatively unchanged from prior periods.
The table below shows total securities outstanding, in thousands of dollars, at
September 30, and December 31, and their percentage of the total securities
portfolio. Securities Held to Maturity consist primarily of municipal
investments.

--------------------------- -------------------------
Total Securities $ 88,750 100.0% $ 79,652 100.0%
LOANS
Loan volume flattened during the quarter, reversing the declining trend noted
during the first two quarters. Personal loans continued to decline, but demand
for business loans strengthened. In addition, balances in residential mortgages
remained flat in spite of significant loan activity, as current low market rates
have resulted in many owners of adjustable rate mortgages seeking to refinance
into long term fixed rate loans. Since the bank does not retain these loans on
its books but sells them on the secondary market, the result is a decline in
loans carried on the portfolio. The offset is increased income from the sale and
servicing of these sold loans.
The mix of the loan portfolio reflects this shift toward more commercial and
fewer personal loans. Over the long term, the trend is toward an increased
percentage of business loans, with slight declines in personal loans, while the
percent of residential mortgages remains constant. The table below shows total
loans outstanding, in thousands of dollars, at September 30, and December 31,
and their

percentage of the total loan portfolio. All loans are domestic and contain no
concentrations by industry or customer.

Total loans $ 260,065 100.0% $ 265,258 100.0% $ 254,075 100.0%
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.
9/30/98 12/31/97 9/30/97
------- -------- -------
Nonaccrual loans $ 543 $ 71 $ 74
Loans past due 90 days or more 275 910 727
Troubled debt restructurings 137 138 -
------------------------- ------------
Total nonperforming loans $ 955 $ 1,119 $ 801
Other real estate 335 473 385
------------------------- ------------
Total nonperforming assets $ 1,290 $ 1,592 $ 1,186
Percent of total loans 0.50% 0.61% 0.47%
Nonperforming loan balances declined significantly from the relatively high
levels experienced at December 31, 1997, but are up slightly from the levels
noted at June 30, 1998. This increase is due to modest increases in balances of
loans in nonaccrual status. Loans past due ninety days or more continued to
decline during the quarter, following the trend seen in the past two quarters.
Overall, nonperforming loans as a percent of total loans remain well below
industry standards, and are much nearer the levels traditionally experienced by
the Company. The amount listed for other real estate relates primarily to
property that has been leased to a third party with an option to purchase, and
no loss is anticipated on that property.
The Company has maintained its provision for loan losses at first and second
quarter 1998 levels, which represents an increase over the same period in 1997.
An analysis of the allowance for loan losses, in thousands of dollars, for the
nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 follows:
Page 9

1998 1997
---- ----
Balance at beginning of period $ 2,467 $ 2,320
Loans charged off (738) (702)
Recoveries credited to allowance 163 52
Provision charged to operations 824 600
------------- ------------
Balance at end of period $ 2,716 $ 2,270
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 continued to grow during the quarter, but were down at September
30 as a result of temporary transfers from some business accounts. Noninterest
bearing deposit balances enjoyed strong growth during the second quarter, and
leveled off during the third quarter. Balances in other deposit accounts
continued to increase, although balances in certificates of $100,000 or more
declined during the quarter. Two factors contributed to this decline. First of
all, normal seasonal fluctuations are typical for this type of account.
Secondly, continued low levels of market rates have caused some depositors to
seek rates higher than are currently available in the CD market. Management
expects that deposit growth will continue, with anticipated growth from new
markets as well as from consumer use of newer cash management account products.
In December of 1997, the Bank acquired the Dundee office of NBD Bank, resulting
in an increase of $12.6 million of deposits. In addition, the Saline office of
the Bank, opened in August of 1997, continues to enjoy strong deposit growth,
also contributing to total deposit growth of the institution.
LIQUIDITY
The Bank continued to maintain an average funds sold position for the third
quarter of 1998, although generally the Bank moves in and out of the fed funds
market as liquidity needs vary. Deposit growth moving at different times than
loan growth will cause continued variation in the short term funds position of
the Bank. The Company has a number of additional liquidity sources should the
need arise, and Management has no concerns for the liquidity position of the
Company.
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 September 30, 1998 and 1997 and December 31, 1997.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
NET INTEREST INCOME
In general, the Company's spread remained virtually unchanged from the first and
second quarters of 1998 and the third quarter of 1997. In fact, the absolue
dollars of interest income and expense were substantially unchanged from the
prior quarter. This has been accomplished in spite of continued declines in
market rates that reduce income earned on assets. The Company continues to
incrementally improve its ratio of interest earning assets to interest bearing
liabilities.
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 year-to-date periods ended September 30, 1998

dollar amounts of the change in each.
NONINTEREST INCOME
Income from nontraditional banking products and services continues to contribute
to significant levels of noninterest income. Substantially all categories of
noninterest income increased from the same period in 1997. While income from the
sales and servicing of residential real estate mortgages slowed somewhat from
levels achieved in the first quarter, strong volume reflects consumer preference
for fixed rate mortgages that are subsequently sold on the secondary market, and
generate income for current and future periods. In addition, earnings from the
Trust & Investment group, as well as from the sales of nondeposit investment
products, continue to increase at significant rates.
NONINTEREST EXPENSES
Noninterest expense also continued to increase over the same periods of 1997, at
a level consistent with that seen in the second quarter. This reflects continued
growth and expansion of the Bank, with investments in additional computer
equipment, as well as staff additions necessitated by growth in new markets.
Total noninterest expense, excluding provision for loan losses, for the first
nine months is 19.4% above the same period for 1997. However, a portion of this
increase reflects the fact that the sales of nondeposit investment products are
now being sold by Bank staff, as opposed to external contractors, as was the
case in prior years. This results in more overhead, which is offset by the fact
that more income is retained by the Company, rather than paid to a third party.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX
There has been no significant change in the income tax position of the Company
during the third quarter of 1998.
NET INCOME
Consolidated net income was slightly behind second quarter level, and year to
date, exceeded that of the same period in 1997 by 2.4%. This rate of growth
slowed during the quarter from levels achieved during the first quarter, but
Management anticipates that net income will continue to remain strong, and will
exceed 1997 levels for the year, barring unforeseen circumstances.
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. Bank 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 (gap) and income simulation analyses. A gap 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 12 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 September 30, 1998, the
Company would expect a maximum potential reduction in net interest margin of
less than 4% if market rates increased under an immediate and sustained parallel
shift of 200 basis points. The Bank's interest sensitivity position remained
virtually unchanged from the previouis quarter.
The Company's exposure to market risk is reviewed on a regular basis by the
Funds Management Committee. The Committee's policy objective is to manage the
Company's assets and liabilities to provide an optimum and consistent level of
earnings within the framework of acceptable risk standards.
The Funds Management Committee of the Bank is also responsible for evaluating
and anticipating
Page 13
14
various risks other than interest rate risk. Those risks include prepayment
risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Committee is made up of senior members
of management, and continually monitors 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 policy of the Bank provides for a level of interest
sensitivity which, Management believes, allows the Bank to take advantage of
opportunities within the market relating to liquidity and interest rate risk,
allowing flexibility without subjecting the Bank to undue exposure to risk. In
addition, other measures are used to evaluate and project the anticipated
results of Management's decisions.
