NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

UNITED BANKSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES


1.  GENERAL

The accompanying  unaudited  consolidated interim financial statements of United
Bankshares,  Inc. and  Subsidiaries  ("United") have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting  principles for interim financial information
and with the  instructions  for Form  10-Q and  Article  10 of  Regulation  S-X.
Accordingly,  the financial statements do not contain all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted  accounting  principles.  The financial
statements  presented in this report have not been audited.  The  accounting and
reporting  policies  followed in the presentation of these financial  statements
are consistent  with those applied in the  preparation of the 1995 annual report
of  United  Bankshares,  Inc.  on  Form  10-K.  In the  opinion  of  management,
adjustments  necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and results
of operations for the interim periods have been made. Such  adjustments are of a
normal and recurring nature.

Historically,  United has not engaged in significant mortgage banking activities
and did not generally originate or acquire loans for resale.  However,  with the
merger of Eagle  Bancorp,  Inc.  ("Eagle") and the formation of United  Mortgage
Company,  Inc., and its wholly-owned  subsidiary,  United Home Lending Services,
Inc.,  United has expanded mortgage banking  activities.  The business of United
Home Lending  Services,  Inc. is the  origination and acquisition of residential
real  estate  loans for  resale,  the  conducting  of  mortgage  loan  servicing
activities for certain loans, and, generally,  the activities commonly conducted
by a mortgage  banking  company.  Rights to service  mortgage  loans for others,
whether those rights were acquired through  purchase or through  origination are
recognized  as separate  assets  upon  subsequent  sale of loans with  servicing
rights  retained.  United  allocates the total cost of the mortgage loans to the
mortgage servicing rights and the loans, based on their relative fair values, if
it is practicable to estimate those fair values.  United  periodically  assesses
capitalized  servicing  rights for  impairment  based on the fair value of those
rights.

Eagle  adopted  Statement  No.  122, "Accounting  for Mortgage Servicing Rights"
(SFAS No. 122), an Amendment  to  Statement  No.  65,  "Accounting  for  Certain
Banking Activities," effective  for its  financial  statements  for  the quarter
ended  June  30,  1995.   The  impact of Eagle's adoption of SFAS No. 122 was an
increase in income before income  taxes  of approximately $412,000, representing
capitalization of servicing rights on the sale of mortgage loans.

UNITED BANKSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

In June 1996, the FASB issued Statement No. 125, (SFAS No. 125), "Accounting for
Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities,"
which supersedes SFAS No. 76,  "Extinguishment of Debt." SFAS No. 125 prescribes
the accounting  treatment for  securitization  transactions based on a financial
components approach with an emphasis on physical control, such as the ability to
pledge or exchange the  securitized  assets,  while prior rules  emphasized  the
economic risks or rewards of ownership of the assets. Additionally, SFAS No. 125
applies to repurchase agreements,  securities lending, loan participations,  and
other  financial  component   transfers  and  exchanges.   Under  the  financial
components  approach of SFAS No. 125, both the transferor  and  transferee  will
recognize  on its  balance  sheet the  assets  and  liabilities,  or  components
thereof,  that it controls and derecognize from the balance sheet the assets and
liabilities that were surrendered or extinguished in the transfer.

United does not expect the new rules to have a material  effect on its financial
position and results of operations.  SFAS No. 125 is effective for  transactions
occurring after December 31, 1996.

In  October  1995,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards Board ("FASB"), issued
Statement No. 123, (SFAS No. 123), "Accounting  for  Stock-Based  Compensation,"
which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995.  SFAS No.
123 defines a fair value based method of accounting for stock-based compensation
plans.

Under the fair value  method,  compensation  expense is measured  based upon the
estimated  value of the award as of the grant  date and is  recognized  over the
service  period.  SFAS No. 123 provides  companies with the option of accounting
for  stock-based  compensation  under APB Opinion No. 25,  "Accounting for Stock
Issued to  Employees,"  or applying the  provisions of SFAS No. 123.  United has
decided  to  continue  to apply  the  provisions  of APB No. 25 to  account  for
stock-based  compensation.  The disclosure  requirements of SFAS No. 123 require
entities  applying  APB Opinion No. 25 to provide pro forma  disclosures  of net
income and earnings per share as if the fair value method of accounting had been
applied.  The disclosure  requirements of SFAS No. 123, which are not applicable
to  interim   reporting,   will  be  included  in  United's   annual  report  to
shareholders.

2.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying consolidated interim  financial statements include the accounts
of United and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, UBC Holding Company,  Inc. ("UBC"),
United Bank and  United Venture Fund ("UVF").   UBC  includes  its  wholly-owned
subsidiary, United National

Bank  ("UNB").   On  June  1,  1996,  United  commenced  operations  of  a   new
wholly-owned  subsidiary  of  UNB, United Mortgage Company, Inc. ("UMC") and its
wholly-owned  subsidiaries,  United  Home  Lending  Services, Inc. ("UHLSI") and
United  Mortgage  Center, Inc. ("UMCI"). UHLSI will service loans and hold loans
available for sale.  United  considers  all of its principal business activities
to be bank related.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have
been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

3.  ACQUISITION

On April 12,  1996,  United  consummated  the merger with Eagle  Bancorp,  Inc.,
Charleston,  West Virginia  ("Eagle"),  in a common stock exchange accounted for
under the pooling of interests method of accounting and, accordingly,  all prior
period  financial  statements  have  been  restated  to  include  the  financial
condition and results of operations of Eagle.  United  exchanged  1.15 shares of
United  common  stock  for  each of the  2,729,377  common  shares  of  Eagle or
3,138,704 shares.

The following are pro forma  selected  balance sheet  categories as of March 31,
1996,  and  December 31, 1995,  and results of  operations  for the three months
ended March 31, 1996, and the year ended December 31, 1995, giving effect to the
merger  as  though it had  occurred  at the  beginning  of the  earliest  period
presented.  The pro forma  information  provided  below  does not  purport to be
indicative  of  balances  and  results  that  would  have been  obtained  if the
combination had occurred during the periods  presented or of balances or results
that may occur in the future.

The average  recorded  investment  in impaired  loans  during the quarter  ended
September  30, 1996 and for the year ended  December 31, 1995 was  approximately
$9,330,000 and  $9,545,000,  respectively.  For the quarters ended September 30,
1996 and  1995,  United  recognized  interest  income on the  impaired  loans of
approximately  $349,000 and $144,000,  respectively,  and $$578,000 and $465,000
for  the  nine  months  ended   September  30,  1996  and  1995,   respectively,
substantially  all of which was  recognized  using the accrual  method of income
recognition.

At  September  30, 1996, the recorded investment in loans that are considered to
be impaired under SFAS No. 114 was $10,163,000 (of

which  $4,691,000  were on a  nonaccrual  basis).  Included  in this  amount  is
$4,773,000 of impaired  loans for which the related  allowance for possible loan
losses is  $1,353,000  and  $5,390,000  of  impaired  loans  that do not have an
allowance for credit losses due to management's  estimate that the fair value of
the underlying collateral of these loans is sufficient for full repayment of the
loan and interest.

The amount of interest  income which would have been recorded under the original
terms for the above loans was  $514,000  and  $275,000  for the  quarters  ended
September 30, 1996 and 1995,  respectively  and  $1,141,000 and $838,000 for the
nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

United had  commercial  real estate  loans,  including  owner  occupied,  income
producing real estate and land development loans, of approximately  $347,689,000
and  $334,791,000 as of September 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995,  respectively.
The loans  are  primarily  secured  by real  estate  located  in West  Virginia,
Southeastern  Ohio,  and  Virginia.   The  loans  were  originated  by  United's
subsidiary  banks  using  underwriting  standards  as set  forth by  management.
United's loan administration policies are focused on the risk characteristics of
the loan  portfolio,  including  commercial  real estate loans, in terms of loan
approval and credit quality. It is the opinion of management that these loans do
not pose any unusual risks and that adequate consideration has been given to the
above loans in establishing the allowance for possible loan losses.

8.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

United  has  outstanding   commitments   which  include,   among  other  things,
commitments  to extend  credit and  letters of credit  undertaken  in the normal
course  of  business.   Outstanding   standby  letters  of  credit  amounted  to
approximately $18,246,000 and $17,047,000 at September 30, 1996 and December 31,
1995, respectively.

United and its  subsidiaries  are  currently  involved,  in the normal course of
business, in various legal proceedings. Management is vigorously pursuing all of
its legal and factual  defenses  and,  after  consultation  with legal  counsel,
believes that all such  litigation will be resolved  without  material effect on
financial position or results of operations.

UNITED BANKSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Item 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
         CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

United  Bankshares,  Inc. ("United")  is  a multi-bank holding company. United's
wholly-owned banking subsidiaries include UBC Holding Company, Inc. ("UBC")  and
United Bank.  UBC includes its  wholly-owned subsidiary,  United  National  Bank
("UNB"), and its wholly- owned subsidiary, United Mortgage Company, Inc. ("UMC")
and its wholly-owned  subsidiaries,  United  Mortgage  Center, Inc. ("UMCI") and
United Home Lending Services, Inc. ("UHLSI").  United also owns all of the stock
of United Venture Fund, Inc. ("UVF").   UVF  is  a West Virginia Capital Company
formed to make loans and equity investments in  qualified  companies  under  the
West  Virginia  Capital  Company   Act  and  to  promote  economic  welfare  and
development in the State of West Virginia.

United is a registered  bank holding  company  subject to the supervision of and
examination by the Federal  Reserve Board under the Bank Holding  Company Act of
1956,  as amended.  Its present  business is the  operation of its  wholly-owned
subsidiaries.

The  following  discussion  and  analysis  present  the  significant  changes in
financial condition and the results of operations of United and its subsidiaries
for the periods  indicated below. This discussion and analysis should be read in
conjunction  with the unaudited  financial  statements  and  accompanying  notes
thereto which are included elsewhere in this document.  All references to United
in this  discussion  and  analysis  are  considered  to refer to United  and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries, unless otherwise indicated.

The following  Earnings  Summary is a broad overview of the financial  condition
and results of  operations  and is not  intended  to replace  the more  detailed
discussion which is presented under specific headings on the following pages.

EARNINGS SUMMARY

Net income for the third  quarter of 1996 was $11.22  million or $0.74 per share
compared to $8.70 million or $0.58 per share for the third quarter of 1995. This
represents  a  28.99%  increase in net income and a 27.59%  increase in earnings
per share.  Net income per share for the first nine months of 1996 was $1.35 per
share,  or a 19.64%  decrease  from the $1.68 for the first nine months of 1995.
Net  income for the first nine  months of 1996 was  $20.58  million,  which is a
18.72%  decrease  from the $25.31  million  earned in the same period last year.
United's  annualized  return on  average  assets was 1.23% and return on average
shareholders'  equity  was  10.85%  as  compared  1.57%  and  14.47%  for  1995,
respectively.



                                       20





In the second quarter of 1996, United recorded  additional income tax expense of
$3,086,000 due to the recapture of Eagle's bad debt expense into taxable income.
However,  as a result of  legislation  enacted during the third quarter of 1996,
United was relieved of the $3,086,000 of additional  income tax expense that was
recorded in the second  quarter  that related to the bad debt  recapture.  Also,
United recorded  $2,441,000 of additional deposit insurance expense in the third
quarter of 1996 as a result of the Savings  Association  Insurance Fund ("SAIF")
recapitalization   legislation  which  requires  a  one-time  65.7  basis  point
assessment to be paid on the SAIF  assessable  deposit base that United acquired
from Eagle.

United has strong core earnings driven by a net interest margin of 4.89% for the
first nine months of 1996. Net interest income increased $2,884,000 or 4.04% for
the first nine  months of 1996 as  compared  to the same  period  for 1995.  The
provision for possible loan losses  increased  $425,000 or 24.50% when comparing
the first nine months of 1996 to the first nine months of 1995.  The  additional
loan loss provision was to conform the allowance for loan losses on Eagle's loan
portfolio with United's loan valuation policies.  Noninterest income,  including
losses on sales of securities and loans held for sale,  decreased 12.68% for the
first nine months of 1996 when  compared to the first nine months of 1995.  This
overall  decrease  in  noninterest   income  is  primarily   attributed  to  the
approximate $2,000,000 write down to estimated fair value of loans held for sale
at June 30, 1996.  Noninterest  expenses increased  $7,291,000 or 17.26% for the
first nine months  compared to the same period in 1995. This increase was due to
the  restructuring and merger related charges recorded in the second quarter and
the additional third quarter deposit  insurance  expense as a result of the SAIF
recapitalization  legislation.  However, exclusive of the approximate $6,845,000
of merger,  nonrecurring  and  restructuring  charges incurred through the third
quarter of 1996,  noninterest  expenses have  increased  only $446,000 or 1.06%.
Additionally,  the added expenses of a purchase accounting  acquisition included
in the first nine months of 1996, but not in the first nine months of 1995, have
contributed to the overall  increase in noninterest  expense.  Income taxes were
lower for the first nine  months  than for the same  period of 1995 due to lower
pretax earnings.

The following  discussion  explains in more detail the results of operations and
changes in financial position by major category.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net  interest  income  increased  in the third  quarter and first nine months of
1996,  when  compared  to the same  periods  of 1995.  The net  interest  margin
continues  as the main  factor in  United's  core  profitability  momentum.  Net
interest  income  before  the  provision  for  possible  loan  losses  increased
$1,994,000 or 8.40% and $2,884,000 or 4.04% for the third quarter and first nine
months of

                                       21





1996 as compared to the same periods of 1995.  The increases were largely due to
United's  strong,  stable net  interest  margin with higher  average  volumes of
interest-earning assets.  Specifically,  higher average volumes of loans for the
first nine  months and  especially  for the third  quarter  have  helped  United
maintain a strong net  interest  margin.  United's  tax-equivalent  net interest
margin  of 4.88%  for the third  quarter  of 1996 and  4.89% for the first  nine
months of 1996  remained  nearly  constant  to the 4.89% and 4.90% for the third
quarter and first nine months of 1995, respectively.

PROVISION FOR POSSIBLE LOAN LOSSES

For the quarters  ended  September 30, 1996 and 1995, the provision for possible
loan losses was $600,000 and $680,000, respectively, while the first nine months
provision  was  $2,160,000  for 1996 as compared  to  $1,735,000  for 1995.  The
increase  in  provision  for the first nine  months of 1996 was to  conform  the
allowance for possible loan losses on Eagle's loan  portfolio with United's loan
valuation  policies.  The  allowance for possible loan losses as a percentage of
loans, net of unearned income,  approximated  1.26% at September 30, 1996, 1.30%
at December 31,  1995,  and 1.36% at September  30, 1995.  Charge-offs  exceeded
recoveries  during  the  third  quarter  of 1996 and 1995  and  resulted  in net
charge-offs  of $618,000 and  $661,000,  respectively.  The first nine months of
1996 charge-offs exceeded recoveries by $2,000,000 as compared to $1,511,000 for
the first nine months of 1995. Note 7 to the accompanying unaudited consolidated
financial  statements  provides a progression of the allowance for possible loan
losses.  Loans,  net of unearned  income,  increased by  $68,477,000 or 3.95% as
compared to year-end 1995.

Credit  quality is another  major  factor in  United's  profitability.  United's
continued   excellent   credit   quality  is  evidenced  by  the  low  level  of
nonperforming  assets at the end of the  third  quarter  of 1996.  Nonperforming
loans were  $10,001,000 at September 30, 1996 compared to $10,990,000 at
year-end 1995.  Nonperforming  loans, as a percentage of loans,  net of unearned
income, decreased from 0.63% to 0.56% when comparing these two respective
periods.  The components of nonperforming  loans include  nonaccrual loans and
loans which are contractually past due 90 days or more as to interest or
principal, but have not been  put on a  nonaccrual  basis.  Loans  past  due 90
days  or more  increased $618,000 or 13.17% during the first nine months of
1996;  while nonaccrual loans decreased  $1,607,000 or 25.52% since year-end
1995. Total nonperforming  assets of $11,879,000,  including OREO of $1,878,000
at September 30, 1996, represented 0.52% of total assets at the end of the third
quarter.

As of September 30, 1996, the ratio of the allowance for possible loan losses to
nonperforming  loans was 227.0% as compared to 205.1% as of December  31,  1995.
Accordingly,   management  believes  that  the  allowance  for  loan  losses  of
$22,705,000  as of  September  30,  1996,  is adequate to provide for  potential
losses on existing loans based on information currently available.

                                       22





United  evaluates  the adequacy of the  allowance  for possible loan losses on a
quarterly basis. The provision for loan losses charged to operations is based on
management's  evaluation of individual  credits,  the past loan loss experience,
and other factors  which,  in  management's  judgment,  deserve  recognition  in
estimating  possible loan losses.  Such other factors  considered by management,
among other things, included growth and composition of the loan portfolio, known
deterioration   in   certain   classes  of  loans  or   collateral,   trends  in
delinquencies,  and current economic  conditions.  United's loan  administration
policies are focused upon the risk  characteristics of the loan portfolio,  both
in terms of loan approval and credit quality.

OTHER INCOME

Other income consists of all revenues which are not included in interest and fee
income related to earning assets.  Noninterest income has been and will continue
to be an important factor for improving United's profitability.  Recognizing the
importance,  management continues to evaluate areas where noninterest income can
be enhanced.  Noninterest  income  decreased  $1,432,000 or 12.68% for the first
nine months of 1996 while the third  quarter of 1996 when  compared to the third
quarter of 1995 showed an  improvement  of $476,000 or 11.67%.  The  decrease in
noninterest income for the first nine months of 1996 was primarily the result of
the approximate  $2,000,000 write down to estimated fair value of loans held for
sale at June 30, 1996.  Excluding  gains and losses on sales of  securities  and
loans held for sale, noninterest income increased $729,000 or 7.05% and $362,000
or  10.52%  for  the  first  nine   months  and  the  third   quarter  of  1996,
respectively..

The overall decrease in noninterest  income was partially offset in the areas of
fees from customer  accounts for which a fee is charged.  Other customer charges
increased by $935,000 or 12.64% for the first nine months and $316,000 or 12.24%
for the third quarter due to increased return check charges and bankcard fees.

OTHER EXPENSES

Just as management  continues to evaluate areas where noninterest  income can be
enhanced,  it strives to improve  the  efficiency  of its  operations  to reduce
costs.  Other expenses include all items of expense other than interest expense,
the  provision  for  possible  loan losses,  and income  taxes.  Other  expenses
increased  $2,958,000  or 21.78% and  $7,291,000 or 17.26% for the third quarter
and nine months  ending  September  30, 1996 as compared to the same  periods in
1995. These increases were primarily due to the restructuring and merger related
charges  recorded  in the first and second  quarters  and the  additional  third
quarter  deposit  insurance  expense  as a result  of the SAIF  recapitalization
legislation.

                                       23





Total  salaries  and  benefits  increased  by 10.71% or  $700,000  and 13.04% or
$2,547,000,  for the third quarter and first nine months of 1996,  respectively,
when  compared to the same  periods of 1995.  Nearly all of the increase for the
quarter and first nine months was  attributable  to severance and benefit pay of
displaced  Eagle  executive  officers,  employment  contracts,  and employees at
locations where United consolidated certain branches.

In addition,  net occupancy  expense for the first nine months of 1996 increased
by  $243,000 or 5.71% when  compared to the first nine months of 1995.  However,
net occupancy  expense  decreased $46,000 or 3.10% for the third quarter of 1996
when compared to the third quarter of 1995. The overall changes in net occupancy
expense for the quarter and first nine months of 1996 are insignificant  with no
material increase or decrease in any one expense category.

Other expenses  increased  $2,304,000 or 41.44% and $4,501,000 or 24.38% for the
third  quarter and first nine months of 1996,  respectively,  as compared to the
same  periods of 1995.  The increase in other  expenses for the quarter  related
primarily to the additional  deposit  insurance  expense as a result of the SAIF
recapitalization  legislation. The increase in other expenses for the first nine
months  was  attributable  to higher  deposit  insurance  expense,  advertising,
consulting and legal  expense,  losses on sales and  write-downs of assets,  EDP
fees, office supplies,  and goodwill  amortization.  Included in these increased
costs were $1,483,000 of one-time restructuring charges which relate to United's
plan to reduce operating costs,  increase  revenues,  and improve efficiency and
productivity to strengthen  United's  competitiveness.  Additionally,  the added
expenses of a purchase accounting  acquisition included in the first nine months
of 1996,  but not in the first  nine  months of 1995,  have  contributed  to the
overall increase in noninterest expense.

INCOME TAXES

Income tax expense for the three  months ended  September  30, 1996 and 1995 was
$1,936,000 and $4,866,000,  respectively. Income tax expense for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 was $11,910,000 and $13,436,000, respectively.
The decrease of $2,930,000 or 60.21% for the third quarter was the result of the
passage of recent  legislation  during the third quarter of 1996, which relieved
United of  $3,086,000 of  additional  income tax expense  recorded in the second
quarter that related to bad debt  recapture  associated  with the Eagle Bancorp,
Inc.  merger.  The  $1,526,000 or 11.36%  decrease in income tax expense for the
first nine months was the result of decreased pretax income.  United's effective
tax rate,  excluding the reversal of the bad debt reserve recapture,  was 38.16%
for the third  quarter of 1996 compared to 35.87% for the third quarter of 1995.
The effective  tax rate for the first nine months of 1996 was 36.66% as compared
to 34.67% for the first nine months of 1995.

INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY

Interest  sensitive  assets  and  liabilities  are  defined  as those  assets or
liabilities  that mature or are  repriced  within a designated  time frame.  The
principal  function  of  asset  and  liability  management  is  to  maintain  an
appropriate relationship between those assets and liabilities that are sensitive
to changing market interest rates.  This relationship has become very important,
given the volatility in interest  rates over the last several years,  due to the
potential  impact on earnings.  United closely  monitors the  sensitivity of its
assets and  liabilities  on an ongoing  basis and projects the effect of various
interest rate changes on its net interest margin.

The difference between rate sensitive assets and rate sensitive  liabilities for
specified  periods  of time is  known  as the  "gap".  A  primary  objective  of
Asset/Liability  Management is managing interest rate risk. At United,  interest
rate risk is managed to minimize  the impact of  fluctuating  interest  rates on
earnings.  As shown in the interest rate sensitivity gap table contained herein,
United was liability  sensitive  (excess of liabilities  over assets) in the one
year  horizon.  United,  however,  has not  experienced  the  kind  of  earnings
volatility  indicated  from the  cumulative  gap.  This is because a significant
portion of United's retail deposit base does not reprice on a contractual basis.
Management has estimated,  based upon historical analyses, that savings deposits
are less  sensitive  to interest  rate changes than are other forms of deposits.
The  GAP  table  presented  herein  has  been  adapted  to  show  the  estimated
differences  in interest rate  sensitivity  which result when the retail deposit
base is assumed to reprice in a manner consistent with historical  trends.  (See
Management Adjustments in the GAP table.) Using these estimates, United was less
liability  sensitive in the one year horizon in the amount of  $(12,060,000)  or
- -0.56% of the cumulative gap to related total earning assets. The primary method
of measuring the sensitivity of earnings to changing market interest rates is to
simulate  expected cash flows using varying  assumed  interest  rates while also
adjusting the timing and magnitude of non-contractual  deposit repricing to more
accurately  reflect  anticipated  pricing behavior.  These  simulations  include
adjustments for the lag in prime-linked loan repricing and the spread and volume
elasticity  of  interest-bearing  deposit  accounts,  regular  savings and money
market deposit accounts. To aid in interest rate management, United's lead bank,
UNB, is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh  (FHLB). The use of
FHLB  advances  provides  United  with a  relatively  low  risk  means  to match
maturities  of earning  assets and  interest-bearing  funds to achieve a desired
interest rate spread over the life of the earning assets. At September 30, 1996,
United had $140,584,000 in FHLB advances.

Additionally,   United  uses  certain  off-balance-sheet  instruments  known  as
interest rate swaps, to further aid in interest rate risk management. The use of
interest  rate swaps is a  cost-effective  means of  synthetically  altering the
repricing  structure of balance sheet items.  At September  30, 1996,  the total
notional amount of the interest rate swap in effect was $50 million. The current
maturity of the swap  portfolio  is four  months.  During the nine month  period
ended  September 30, 1996,  interest  rate swaps reduced net interest  income by
$391,000 as compared to a decrease of $596,000 for the same period in 1995.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

United maintains, in the opinion of management, liquidity which is sufficient to
satisfy its depositors' requirements and the credit needs of its customers. Like
all banks,  United depends upon its ability to renew maturing deposits and other
liabilities on a daily basis and to acquire new funds in a variety of markets. A
significant  source of funds  available  to United  are  "core  deposits."  Core
deposits include certain demand deposits,  statement and special savings and NOW
accounts.  These  deposits  are  relatively  stable and they are the lowest cost
source of funds  available  to United.  Short-term  borrowings  have also been a
significant   source  of  funds.  These  include  federal  funds  purchased  and
securities sold under agreements to repurchase.  Repurchase agreements represent
funds which are obtained as the result of a competitive bidding process.

Liquid assets are cash and those items readily  convertible  to cash.  All banks
must  maintain  sufficient  balances  of cash  and  near-cash  items to meet the
day-to-day  demands  of  customers.  Other  than  cash and due from  banks,  the
available for sale securities portfolio,  loans held for sale and maturing loans
and investments are the primary sources of liquidity.

The goal of  liquidity  management  is to ensure the  ability to access  funding
which  enables  United to  efficiently  satisfy  the cash flow  requirements  of
depositors  and borrowers and meet United's cash needs.  Liquidity is managed by
monitoring  funds  availability  from a number of primary  sources.  Substantial
funding is available from cash and cash equivalents, unused short-term borrowing
and a geographically dispersed network of subsidiary banks providing access to a
diversified and substantial retail deposit market.

Short-term   needs  can  be  met  through  a  wide  array  of  sources  such  as
correspondent  and  downstream  correspondent  federal funds and  utilization of
Federal Home Loan Bank advances.

Other sources of liquidity  available to United to provide  long-term as well as
short-term  funding  alternatives,  in addition to FHLB advances,  are long-term
certificates  of deposit,  lines of credit,  and borrowings  that are secured by
bank premises or stock of United's subsidiaries. United has no intention at this
time to utilize any  long-term  funding  sources  other than FHLB  advances  and
long-term certificate of deposits.

For the nine months ended September 30, 1996,  United  generated  $55,556,000 of
cash from operations, which is indicative of solid earnings performance.  During
the same period, net cash of $125,693,000 was used in investing activities which
was primarily due to $98,276,000 of net loan  originations and $25,874,00 of net
purchases  of  securities.  During  the first nine  months of 1996,  net cash of
$65,861,000  was provided by financing  activities,  primarily due to additional
net  borrowings  of  $65,087,000  of FHLB  advances  and an  increase  in  other
short-term  borrowings of $16,338,000.  The increases in FHLB advances and other
short-term  borrowings  were used to offset a  $1,842,000  decrease in deposits,
fund  net  purchases  of  securities  and  net  loan   originations,   including
originations  of loans  held for sale.  The net  effect of this  activity  was a
decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $4,276,000 for the first nine months of
1996.

United  anticipates  no difficulty in meeting its  obligations  over the next 12
months and has no material  commitments for capital  expenditures.  There are no
known trends,  demands,  commitments,  or events that will result in or that are
reasonably  likely to result in United's  liquidity  increasing or decreasing in
any material way. United also has significant lines of credit available.

The Asset and Liability  Committee monitors liquidity to ascertain that a strong
liquidity  position  is  maintained.  In  addition,  variable  rate  loans are a
priority.   These   policies  help  to  protect  net  interest   income  against
fluctuations  in interest  rates.  No changes are anticipated in the policies of
United's Asset and Liability Committee.

Total  shareholders'  equity increased  $5,675,000 to $254,909,000,  which is an
increase of 2.28% from  December 31, 1995.  United's  equity to assets ratio was
11.09% at  September  30,  1996 and 11.28% at  December  31,  1995.  Capital and
reserves to total assets  decreased  from 12.28% at December 31, 1995, to 12.15%
at September 30, 1996.

The  dividends of $0.31 per common share for the third quarter of 1996 and $0.92
for the nine month  period  ended  September  30, 1996  represent an increase of
6.90% and 5.75% over the $.29 paid for third  quarter of 1995 and $0.87 paid for
the first nine months of 1995. Total cash dividends paid were $4,697,000 for the
third quarter and  $12,997,000 for the first nine months of 1996, an increase of
37.18% and 26.50% over the comparable periods of 1995.

United seeks to maintain a proper relationship  between capital and total assets
in order to support  growth and sustain  earnings.  United's  average  equity to
average asset ratio was 11.31% at September 30, 1996 and 10.86% at September 30,
1995.  United's  risk-based  capital  ratios of 16.58% at September 30, 1996 and
16.80% at December  31,  1995,  are both  significantly  higher than the minimum
regulatory  requirements.  United's Tier I capital and leverage ratios of 15.32%
and 10.59%, respectively,  at September 30, 1996, are also well above regulatory
minimum requirements.
