                                    NARRATIVE

The Registrant's Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended September
30,  2005 could not be filed  because the  Registrant,  in  anticipation  of the
de-registration  of its securities before the required filing date pursuant to a
going  private  transaction,  had not prepared the report.  Registrant is in the
process of a going private  transaction which was to be voted upon at its annual
shareholders  meeting  on  November  10,  2005.  Just  prior  to  that  meeting,
management  and  the  audit  committee  of  Registrant,   in  consultation  with
Registrant's  independent  registered  public  accounting  firm, Pugh & Company,
P.C., determined that Registrant did not correctly record the expense associated
with the  repurchase  of its common stock from  employees  and directors for the
years ended  December 31, 2003 and 2004 and the interim  periods ended March 31,
2005 and June 30, 2005,  and such expense  will be restated by  Registrant.  The
annual meeting was adjourned  until corrected  information  could be provided to
the shareholders and amended periodic reports could be filed with the SEC.

     notification:

     Linda M. Crouch-McCreadie      (423) 928-0181

(2)  Have all other periodic  reports  required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the
     Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act
     of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter  period that the
     registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If answer is no,
     identify report(s). |X| Yes |_| No

(3)  Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from
     the corresponding  period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the
     earnings  statements  to be  included  in the  subject  report  or  portion
     thereof? |X| Yes | | No

     If so: attach an explanation of the anticipated  change,  both  narratively
     and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable
     estimate of the results cannot be made.


The  Registrant  issued a press release on October 13, 2005 which  disclosed the
following related to its results of operations:

Net income for the nine months ended  September 30, 2005 increased  $77,000,  or
5.8%  compared to the same nine month  period in the previous  year,  from $1.34
million to $1.42 million.  the increase in net income is primarily the result of
net gains on the sales of  investments  of  $517,000,  offset by an  increase in
interest expense of $417,000 as a result of an increase in our cost of funds. On
April 4, 2005,  Harland Financial  Solutions  ("Harland")  announced that it was
acquiring our third-party data processor,  Intrieve,  Inc. Proceeds from Harland
for UTBI's Intrieve, Inc. stock resulted in a gain of $614,000.

Presented  below are  condensed  statements  of income for the  three-month  and
nine-month  periods  ended  September  30, 2005 and 2004 and selected  financial
condition data as of September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004.
