NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. The information contained in this interim report is unaudited
and subject to year-end audit. However, in the opinion of
management, the information reflects all adjustments necessary to
present fairly the financial condition and results of operations
for the periods presented. All such adjustments were of a
normal, recurring nature. All material intercompany transactions
have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations
for the six-month period ended June 30, 2004, are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
2. These statements should be read in conjunction with notes to
the financial statements contained in the 2003 Annual Report to
Stockholders.
3. The weighted-average number of shares of common stock
outstanding was as follows:
Basic Assuming Dilution

June 30, 2003 2,508,339 2,541,086
4. As permitted by SFAS No. 123, Union National accounts for
stock-based compensation in accordance with Accounting Principles
Board Opinion (APB) No. 25. Under APB No. 25, no compensation
expense is recognized in the income statement related to any
options granted under Union National's stock option plans. The
pro forma impact to net income and earnings per share that would
occur if compensation expense was recognized, based on the
estimated fair value of the options on the date of the grant, is
as follows:

5. Union National does not issue any guarantees that would
require liability recognition or disclosure, other than its
standby letters of credit. Standby letters of credit written are
conditional commitments issued by Union National to guarantee the
performance of a customer to a third party. Generally, all
letters of credit, when issued have expiration dates within one
year. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is
essentially the same as those that are involved in extending loan
facilities to customers. Union National generally holds
collateral and/or personal guarantees supporting these
commitments. Union National had $3,846,000 of standby letters of
credit as of June 30, 2004. Management believes that the
proceeds obtained through a liquidation of collateral and the
enforcement of guarantees would be sufficient to cover the
potential amount of future payment required under the
corresponding guarantees. The current amount of the liability as
of June 30, 2004, for guarantees under standby letters of credit
issued is not material.
6. In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued FASB Interpretation No.46, "Consolidation of Variable
Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No.51" which was
revised in December 2003. This Interpretation provides guidance
for the consolidation of variable interest entities (VIEs).
Union National Capital Trust I, a wholly-owned trust subsidiary
of Union National Financial Corporation, qualifies as a
variable interest entity under FIN 46. Union National Capital
Trust I issued mandatorily redeemable preferred securities (trust
capital securities) to third-party investors and loaned the
proceeds to Union National. Union National Capital Trust I
holds, as its sole asset, subordinated debentures issued by Union
National.
In accordance with the guidance provided by FIN 46, Union
National did not consolidate the accounts of Union National
Capital Trust I. The impact of not consolidating was to report
the total outstanding junior subordinated debentures of
$8,248,000 as an outstanding liability and to include Union
National's $248,000 equity interest in the trust subsidiary as an
"Other Asset" on the balance sheet. For regulatory reporting
purposes, the Federal Reserve Board has indicated that the trust
capital securities will continue to qualify as Tier 1 Capital
subject to previously specified limitations, until further
notice. If regulators make a determination that trust capital
securities can no longer be considered in regulatory capital, the
securities become callable and Union National may redeem them.
The adoption of FIN 46 did not have an impact on Union National's
results of operations or liquidity.
Item 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following is management's discussion and analysis of the
significant changes in the results of operations, capital
resources and liquidity presented in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements for Union National Financial
Corporation, a bank holding company, and its wholly-owned
subsidiary, Union National Community Bank. Union National's
consolidated financial condition and results of operations
consist almost entirely of the bank's financial condition and
results of operations. Union National's other subsidiary, Union
National Capital Trust I, was established during December 2003
for the purpose of issuing $8,000,000 of trust capital
securities. As disclosed in Note 6, this subsidiary is not
consolidated. This discussion should be read in conjunction with
the financial tables/statistics, financial statements and notes
to financial statements appearing elsewhere in this annual
report. Current performance does not guarantee, assure or
indicate similar performance in the future.
We have made forward-looking statements in this document, and in
documents that we incorporate by reference, that are subject to
risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements include the
information concerning possible or assumed future results of
operations of Union National Financial Corporation, Union
National Community Bank or the combined company. When we use
words such as "believes," "expects," "anticipates" or similar
expressions, we are making forward-looking statements.
Shareholders should note that many factors, some of which are
discussed elsewhere in this document and in the documents that we
incorporate by reference, could affect the future financial
results of Union National Financial Corporation, Union National
Community Bank or the combined company and could cause those
results to differ materially from those expressed in our forward-
looking statements contained or incorporated by reference in this
document. These factors include the following:
* operating, legal and regulatory risks;
* economic, political and competitive forces; and
* the risk that our analyses of these risks and forces could
be incorrect and/or that the strategies developed to
address them could be unsuccessful.
Union National undertakes no obligation to publicly revise or
update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or
circumstances that arise after the date of this report. Readers
should carefully review the risk factors described in other
documents that Union National periodically files with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
Critical Accounting Policies
____________________________
The reporting of Union National's financial condition and results
of operations is impacted by the application of accounting
policies by management. Certain accounting policies are
particularly sensitive and require significant judgments,
estimates and assumptions to be made by management in matters
that are inherently uncertain.
Union National's provision for loan losses and the level of the
allowance for loan losses involve significant estimates by
management in evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for loan
losses. The allowance for loan losses is increased by a charge
to the provision for loan losses. Management's evaluation is
based on Union National's past loan loss experience, known and
inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may
affect the borrower's ability to repay (including the timing of
future payments), the estimated value of any underlying
collateral, composition of the loan portfolio, current economic
conditions and other relevant factors. While management uses
available information to make such evaluations, future
adjustments to the allowance and the provision for loan losses
may be necessary if economic conditions or loan credit quality
differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the
evaluation.
Union National carries all of its investments at fair value with
any unrealized gains or losses reported net of tax as an
adjustment to stockholders' equity. Based on management's
assessment, at June 30, 2004, Union National did not hold any
security that had a fair value decline that is currently expected
to be other than temporary. Consequently, any declines in a
specific security's fair value below amortized cost have
not been provided for in the income statement. Union National's
ability to fully realize the value of its investment in various
securities, including corporate debt securities, is dependent on
the underlying creditworthiness of the issuing organization.
As permitted by SFAS No. 123, Union National accounts for stock-
based compensation in accordance with Accounting Principles Board
Opinion (APB) No. 25. Under APB No. 25, no compensation expense
is recognized in the income statement related to any options
granted under Union National's stock option plans. The pro forma
impact to net income and earnings per share that would occur if
compensation expense was recognized, based on the estimated fair
value of the options on the date of the grant, is disclosed in
the notes to the consolidated financial statements. Union
National intends to continue to account for stock-based
compensation in this manner unless there is more specific
guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or
unless a clear consensus develops in the financial services
industry on the application of accounting methods.
Results of Operations
_____________________
Overview
Consolidated net income for the three months ended June 30, 2004,
was $792,000, a decrease of 7.4%, as compared to consolidated net
income of $855,000 for the same period of 2003. Basic earnings
per share for the three months ended June 30, 2004, amounted to
$0.33 and diluted earnings per share amounted to $0.32, as
compared to basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.34 for the
three months ended June 30, 2003. Consolidated net income for
the six months ended June 30, 2004, was $1,565,000, a decrease of
5.7%, as compared to consolidated net income of $1,659,000 for
the same period of 2003. Basic earnings per share for the six
months ended June 30, 2004, amounted to $0.65 and diluted
earnings per share amounted to $0.63, as compared to basic
earnings per share of $0.66 and diluted earnings per share of
$0.65 for the six months ended June 30, 2003.
The following items impacted results of operations for the three
months and six months ended June 30, 2004, as compared to the
same periods of 2003:
* Net income increased due to an increase in net interest
income that was largely a result of growth in average
earning assets, which was funded by increased deposits and
borrowings.
* Net income decreased due to an increase in the provision
for loan losses.
* Net income decreased due to a decrease in income from
mortgage banking activities. Partially offsetting this
decrease was an increase in income from service charges on
deposit accounts, increased commissions on the sale of
alternative investment products and increased gains on
the sale of investment securities.
* Net income decreased due to an increase in other operating
expenses.
The above items are quantified and discussed in further detail
under their respective sections below.
Net income as a percent of average stockholders' equity, also
known as return on average equity (ROE) and net income as a
percent of average realized stockholders' equity, which excludes
the impact of accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss), were
as follows on an annualized basis:
Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30,
___________________________ _________________________
2004 2003 2004 2003
__________ __________ __________ __________
ROE 12.42% 12.57% 11.87% 12.33%
ROE
(Realized
Equity) 12.53% 13.26% 12.20% 12.94%
For Union National, accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss)
is the amount of unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale
investment securities, net of tax.
Management currently expects relatively strong growth in loans
and deposits for the remainder of 2004. It is expected that loan
growth will be driven largely by strong commercial loan demand
and a continued slowdown in the refinancing and payoff of
residential mortgages. Contributing to commercial loan demand
will be the recent addition of a new agricultural lender and an
experienced business banker. In addition, Union National has
opened a new commercial banking office in Manheim Township, PA in
March 2004 to further penetrate the greater Lancaster commercial
market. These items are discussed
further in the Results of Operations section in the discussion of
Other Operating Expenses. Deposit growth is expected to result
from the acquisition of new commercial business relationships and
a new office at 38 East Roseville Road in Manheim Township, PA
that opened in November 2003. In addition, Union National also
recently hired an individual to focus on obtaining new commercial
deposit relationships and the sale of cash management and other
corporate services. Management also continues to develop and
promote additional loan and deposit products, to implement
various sales strategies and to offer incentives to employees to
generate loan and deposit growth.
During the first six months of 2004, Union National experienced
strong commercial loan demand and moderate growth in consumer
loans. The growth in consumer loans was primarily a result of an
increase in balances outstanding under home equity lines of
credit. However, there was a decline in the balance of purchased
residential mortgage and consumer loans. Overall loan balances
have increased by $21,059,000 since the beginning of 2004.
The economy in the bank's market may be negatively impacted by
national events and may be subject to overall national economic
trends. The overall effects of past economic conditions, as well
as other factors, can be seen by a mild lessening of certain
borrowers' financial strength. Management is monitoring these
general and specific trends closely. Their various effects are
discussed later under the section on Credit Risk and Loan
Quality.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income is the amount by which interest income on
loans and investments exceeds interest incurred on deposits and
borrowings. Net interest income is Union National's primary
source of revenue. The amount of net interest income is affected
by changes in interest rates and by changes in the volume and mix
of interest-sensitive assets and liabilities.
For analytical and discussion purposes, net interest income and
corresponding yields are presented on a taxable equivalent basis.
Income from tax-exempt assets, primarily loans to or securities
issued by state and local governments, is adjusted by an amount
equivalent to the federal income taxes which would have been paid
if the income received on these assets was taxable at the
statutory rate of 34%.
In order to enhance net interest income in future periods,
management has entered into transactions that increase earning
assets funded by advances from the FHLB. As of June 30, 2004,
the bank had received long-term advances of $80,027,000 and
short-term advances of $2,520,000 from its available credit of
$146,768,000 at the FHLB for purposes of funding loan demand and
security purchases. The total advances have maturities that
range from July 2004 to December 2013.
Furthermore, in December 2003, Union National obtained net
funding of $8,000,000 from the issuance of junior subordinated
debentures to a trust subsidiary that then issued trust capital
securities. The floating-rate debentures provide for quarterly
distributions at a variable annual coupon rate, reset quarterly,
based on three-month LIBOR plus 2.85%. The coupon rate was 4.02%
at June 30, 2004. The debentures have a 30-year maturity, but
are callable by Union National, at par, after 5 years. Union
National used the net proceeds from this offering to fund an
additional $4,000,000 capital investment in Union National
Community Bank for its operations and future growth. Union
National plans to use the balance of the funding for the
repurchase of common stock and general corporate purposes. The
terms and amounts of the FHLB borrowings and the issuance of the
junior subordinated debentures, when combined with Union
National's overall balance sheet structure, maintain Union
National within its interest rate risk policy limits.
There were no costs incurred on the early payoff of FHLB
borrowings during the first six months of 2004, however, $243,000
in costs were incurred on the payoff and restructuring of FHLB
borrowings during the first six months of 2003. For the second
quarter of 2003, early payoff costs on FHLB borrowings amounted
to $184,000. These additional costs were reflected as increased
interest expense on the related long-term borrowings. Total FHLB
advances outstanding at June 30, 2004, represent an increase of
$12,108,000 from June 30, 2003, and the average interest rate on
these borrowings has decreased to 3.71% from 4.18%.
In the following discussion, the interest rate on average
interest-bearing liabilities and the net interest margin
percentage is shown both with and without the impact of these
one-time early payoff costs to provide a better comparison
between periods.
In comparing the three months ended June 30, 2004, to the same
period of 2003, the net effect of volume growth in average
earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities increased net
interest income by $395,000. Growth in average earning assets
was funded primarily by increased deposit balances and additional
borrowings. Average earning assets increased by 11.1% for the
three months ended June 30, 2004, as compared to the same period
of 2003.
The overall interest rate on the average total earning assets for
the three months ended June 30, 2004, was 5.83%, as compared to
6.30% for the same period of last year. The overall interest
rate on the average interest-bearing liabilities was 2.11% for
the three months ended June 30, 2004, and 2.70% (2.43% without
the impact of early payoff costs on long-term FHLB borrowings)
for the three months ended June 30, 2003. The net effect of
these interest rate changes was to decrease net interest income
in the amount of $33,000 for the three months ended June 30,
2004, over the same period of 2003. The net interest margin
percentage for the three months ended June 30, 2004, was 3.96%,
as compared to 3.93% (4.17% without the impact of payoff costs)
for the same period of 2003.
In comparing the six months ended June 30, 2004, to the same
period of 2003, the net effect of volume growth in average
earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities increased net
interest income by $764,000. Average earning assets increased by
11.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2004, as compared to the
same period of 2003.
The overall interest rate on the average total earning assets for
the six months ended June 30, 2004, was 5.91%, as compared to
6.39% for the same period of last year. The overall interest
rate on the average interest-bearing liabilities was 2.15% for
the six months ended June 30, 2004, and 2.70% (2.52% without the
impact of early payoff costs on long-term FHLB borrowings) for
the six months ended June 30, 2003. The net effect of these
interest rate changes was to decrease net interest income in the
amount of $106,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004, over
the same period of 2003. The net interest margin percentage for
the six months ended June 30, 2004, was 4.00%, as compared to
4.03% (4.19% without the impact of payoff costs) for the same
period of 2003.
The overall decline in interest rates has been prompted by
actions of the Federal Reserve Bank, which started reducing
interest rates in January 2001. Since that time, the prime
interest rate has declined from 9.50% to 4.00%. However, in June
and again in August 2004, the Federal Reserve increased rates and
the prime interest rate now stands at 4.50%. The following chart
details recent rate history for certain key interest rates that
impact rates on Union National's interest-bearing assets and
liabilities:

* These rates are the average rate for the month as published by
the Federal Reserve in Statistical Release H.15.
Over a period of years, interest rates have declined
significantly, but as detailed in the above table, these rates
have more recently stabilized and have begun to increase
slightly.
As indicated by the yields discussed above, this decline in
interest rates has negatively impacted the yield on Union
National's earning assets, but this interest rate decline has
also reduced Union National's funding costs due to a decrease in
rates Union National must pay to attract and retain deposits and
must pay on maturing or repricing advances from the FHLB.
For the remainder of 2004, it is currently anticipated that Union
National's net interest
margin percentage may be slightly lower than current levels.
However, income from growth in earning assets which occurred
during 2003 and 2004, net of costs resulting from growth in
deposits and borrowings, should increase net interest income for
the remainder of 2004. The netting of these two factors, as
reflected in Union National's current simulation model and
estimates as of June 30, 2004, may result in net interest income
for 2004 that reflects a moderate increase over the net interest
income earned during 2003. Expected growth in earning assets
during 2004 should also increase Union National's net interest
margin. This expected growth was not reflected in the model at
June 30, 2004. Union National's net interest income may be
impacted by future actions of the Federal Reserve Bank.
Union National's current net interest income simulation model
includes an investment in BOLI that had a value of $9,292,000 at
June 30, 2004. This is a financial transaction reflected in the
net interest margin of the model, but for financial reporting
purposes the increase in the cash surrender value of the life
insurance is recorded as other noninterest income. Although the
effective interest rate impact of expected cash flows on
investments and of renewing certificates of deposit can be
reasonably estimated at current interest rate levels, the yield
curve during 2004, the options selected by customers and the
future mix of the loan, investment and deposit products in the
bank's portfolios may significantly change the estimates used in
the simulation models. See discussions on Liquidity and Market
Risk - Interest Rate Risk.
Provision for Loan Losses
The loan loss provision is an estimated expense charged to
earnings to provide for losses attributable to uncollectible
loans. The provision is based on management's analysis of the
adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. The provision for
loan losses was $99,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2004,
as compared to $39,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2003.
For the six month period, the provision for loan losses was
$156,000, as compared to $46,000 for the same period of 2003.
Net charge-offs amounted to $5,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 2004 and 2003. For the six months ended June 30, 2004,
net charge-offs amounted to $10,000 as compared to $18,000 for
the same period of 2003. The increased provision for loan losses
in 2004 can be primarily attributed to growth in outstanding loan
balances. Future adjustments to the allowance, and consequently
the provision for loan losses, may be necessary if economic
conditions or loan credit quality differ substantially from the
assumptions used in making management's evaluation of the level
of the allowance for loan losses as compared to the balance of
outstanding loans. See discussion on Loan Quality/Allowance for
Loan Losses.
Other Operating Income
Other operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2004,
was $1,045,000, representing a decrease of $134,000 or 11.4%,
from the same period of 2003. For the six months ended June 30,
2004, other operating income decreased $20,000, or 1.0%, in
comparison to the same period of 2003. The primary reason for
the decline in other operating income is a decline in income from
mortgage banking activities in 2004 primarily as a result of a
slow down in refinancing activity. Mortgage banking income was
down $419,000 in comparing the three-month period ended June 30,
2004, to the same period of 2003. For the six-month period
ending June 30, 2004, mortgage banking income decreased by
$608,000 in comparison to the same period of 2003.
Partially offsetting the decline in mortgage banking income were
the following increases in comparison to the comparable periods
of 2003 (in thousands):

Investment Sales Commissions 7 64
Merchant Credit Card Fees 17 25
Investment Securities Gains 65 81
Earnings from Bank-Owned
Life Insurance 38 83
The increased income from service charges on deposit accounts is
primarily from increased insufficient funds charges related to a
new product called "Overdraft Privilege" introduced to customers
in November 2003. With Overdraft Privilege customers are
permitted to overdraw their accounts subject to certain limits.
This service can help customers avoid merchant costs and the
embarrassment of having checks returned. Overdraft Privilege
should also generate increased fee income for Union National
during the remainder of 2004. With increased overdrafts there is
also increased credit exposure, however, the increased revenue is
currently expected to more than offset any related credit losses.
The increase in investment sales commissions relates to
commissions earned on the sale of alternative investment products
including annuities, mutual funds and brokerage services. Union
National has a licensed representative in each retail office
location to sell these alternative investment products. The
increase in earnings on BOLI is a result of an additional
$4,000,000 investment in BOLI during the third quarter of 2003
and an additional investment of $1,300,000 in June 2004.
Other Operating Expenses
The aggregate of other operating expenses increased by $335,000,
or 11.9%, for the three months ended June 30, 2004, as compared
to the same period of 2003. For the six months ended June 30,
2004, other operating expenses increased by $768,000, or 13.9%,
in comparison to the same period of 2003. These increases in
other operating expenses are discussed below as they pertain to
the various expense categories.
During the second quarter of 2004, salaries and wages increased
by $115,000 in comparison to the second quarter of 2003. For the
six months ended June 30, 2004, salaries and wages increased by
$265,000 in comparison to the same period of 2003. This increase
was essentially due to staff additions and annual merit and cost-
of-living increases. Staff additions included staff for a new
retail office location at 38 E. Roseville Road in Manheim
Township which opened in November 2003, an agricultural lender,
an experienced business banker, a salesperson for corporate
services, a retirement plan salesperson, a salesperson for trust
and investment management products and services, business and
credit specialists and other support staff and sales positions.
Employee benefit costs increased by $55,000 for the second
quarter of 2004 as compared to 2003. For the six month period,
employee benefit costs increased by $123,000. Increased employee
benefit costs relate to increased staff and salary levels,
increased health insurance premiums and costs related to a
supplemental executive retirement plan.
Other changes in operating expenses in comparison to the
comparable periods of 2003 included the following (in thousands):

The increase in net occupancy expense and furniture and equipment
expense primarily was a result of the opening of our new Manheim
Township office in November 2003 and the opening of our new
commercial banking office in Manheim Township, PA in March 2004.
The increase in professional fees is primarily attributable to
professional fees related to the implementation of our Overdraft
Privilege product.
Income Taxes
Union National's income tax expense decreased by $36,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 2004, as compared to the same period
of last year. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, income tax
expense decreased by $84,000 in comparison to the same period of
2003. Union National's effective tax rates were as follows:
Three Months Ended Six Months Ended
__________________ ________________
June 30, 2004 17.8% 16.8%
June 30, 2003 19.6% 19.4%
The effective tax rate for Union National is below the statutory
rate due to tax-exempt earnings on investments, loans and bank-
owned life insurance and the impact of tax credits. The decrease
in the effective tax rate for 2004 is due to a higher percentage
of income being derived from tax-exempt sources. As of June 30,
2004, Union National had a net deferred tax asset of $811,000.
The realization of deferred tax assets is dependent on future
earnings of Union National. Management currently anticipates
future earnings will be adequate to utilize deferred tax assets.
Regulatory Activity
___________________
From time to time, various types of federal and state legislation
have been proposed that could result in additional regulation of,
and restrictions on, the business of Union National and the bank.
As a consequence of the extensive regulation of commercial
banking activities in the United States, Union National's and the
bank's business is particularly susceptible to being affected by
federal and state legislation and regulations that may increase
the cost of doing business. Specifically, Union National is
susceptible to changes in tax law that may increase the cost of
doing business or impact Union National's ability to realize the
value of deferred tax assets. Management is not aware of any
current specific recommendations by regulatory authorities or
proposed legislation, which if implemented, would have a material
adverse effect upon the liquidity, capital resources or results
of operations. However, the general cost of compliance with
numerous federal and state laws and regulations does have, and in
the future may have, a negative impact on Union National's
results of operations.
Further, the business of Union National is affected by the state
of the financial services industry in general. The bank is
routinely examined by the Office of the Comptroller of the
Currency (OCC) and no material adverse impact is anticipated on
current or future operations and financial position as a result
of this process. The last Community Reinvestment Act performance
evaluation by the OCC resulted in a "satisfactory" rating of the
bank's record of meeting the credit needs of its entire
community.
Credit Risk and Loan Quality
____________________________
Other than as described herein, management does not believe there
are any trends, events or uncertainties that are reasonably
expected to have a material impact on future results of
operations, liquidity or capital resources. Further, based on
known information, management believes that the effects of
current and past economic conditions, including the continuing
economic slowdown, and other unfavorable specific business
conditions may result in the inability of loans amounting to
$1,829,000 to comply with their respective repayment terms. This
compares to the amount of $1,879,000 at December 31, 2003. These
loans are secured with real estate, equipment, inventory and
vehicles. Management currently believes that probable losses on
these loans have already been provided for in the allowance for
loan losses. These loans are not considered impaired as defined
by current generally accepted accounting principles. The
borrowers are of special mention since they have shown a decline
in financial strength and payment quality. Management has
increased its monitoring of the borrowers' financial strength.
In addition, management currently expects that a portion of these
loans may be classified as nonperforming in the remaining months
of 2004.
At June 30, 2004, total nonperforming loans amounted to
$1,764,000, or 0.7% of net loans, as compared to a level of
$1,342,000, or 0.6%, at December 31, 2003. These loans are
essentially collateralized with real estate. Historically, the
percentage of nonperforming loans to net loans as of December 31,
for the previous five-year period was an average of 0.9%.

In addition to the credit risk present in the loan portfolio,
Union National also has credit risk associated with its
investment security holdings. Based on recent national economic
trends and other factors, Union National has increased its
monitoring of its corporate debt securities and changes in their
credit ratings as published by bond rating agencies. As of June
30, 2004, Union National had corporate debt securities that were
rated below investment grade and were carried at a fair value of
$696,000 and had unrealized gains of $2,000. Union National's
ability to fully realize the value of its investment in various
securities, including corporate debt securities, is dependent on
the underlying creditworthiness of the issuing organization.
This creditworthiness may be impacted by various national
economic trends and other factors. As discussed earlier, Union
National carries all of its investments at fair value with any
unrealized gains or losses reported net of tax as an adjustment
to stockholders' equity. Based on management's assessment, at
June 30, 2004, Union National did not hold any security that had
a fair value decline that is currently expected to be other than
temporary. Consequently, any declines in a specific security's
fair value below amortized cost have not been provided for in the
income statement because management currently expects these fair
value declines to be temporary. As of June 30, 2004, Union
National held corporate debt securities with a total fair value
of $19,522,000 and net unrealized losses on these securities
amounted to $150,000.
Allowance for Loan Losses
_________________________
The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level believed
adequate by management to absorb estimated probable loan losses.
Management is responsible for the adequacy of the allowance for
loan losses, which is formally reviewed by management on a
quarterly basis.
The allowance is increased by provisions charged to operating
expense and reduced by net charge-offs. Management's evaluation
of the adequacy of the allowance is based on Union National's
past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the
portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower's
ability to repay (including the timing of future payments), the
estimated value of any underlying collateral, composition of the
loan portfolio, current economic conditions and other relevant
factors. While management uses available information to make
such evaluations, future adjustments to the allowance may be
necessary if economic conditions differ substantially from the
assumptions used in making the evaluation. In addition, various
regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination
process, review the bank's allowance for loan losses. Such
agencies may require the bank to recognize additions to the
allowance based on their judgment of information available to
them at the time of their examination. After management's
assessment, no adjustment to the allowance for loan losses was
necessary as a result of the OCC's most recent examination.
Management believes, based on information currently available,
that the current allowance for loan losses of $2,131,000 is
adequate to meet potential loan losses. In addition, management
expects loan charge-offs, net of recoveries for the remainder of
2004 to be comparable to net loan charge-offs for the same period
of 2003.

Liquidity
_________
Union National's objective is to maintain adequate liquidity to
fund needs at a reasonable cost and to provide contingency plans
to meet unanticipated funding needs or a loss of funding sources,
while minimizing interest rate risk. Adequate liquidity provides
resources for credit needs of borrowers, for depositor
withdrawals and for funding corporate operations. Sources of
liquidity are as follows:
* proceeds from the sale or maturity of investment
securities;
* overnight correspondent bank borrowings on various credit
lines and borrowing capacity available from the FHLB;
* acquisition of brokered certificates of deposit (CDs);
* payments on loans and mortgage-backed securities; and
* a growing core deposit base.
Management believes that its core deposits are fairly stable even
in periods of changing interest rates. Liquidity management is
governed by policies and measured on a quarterly basis. These
measurements indicate that liquidity generally remains stable and
exceeds the bank's minimum defined levels. There are no known
trends, except the anticipated loan and deposit growth previously
discussed in the Results of Operations section, or any known
demands, commitments, events or uncertainties that will result
in, or that are reasonably likely to result in, liquidity
increasing or decreasing in any material way.
Membership in the FHLB provides the bank with additional
liquidity alternatives such as short- or long-term funding on
fixed- or variable-rate terms. As of June 30, 2004, the bank had
received long-term advances of $80,027,000 and short-term
advances of $2,520,000 from its available credit of $146,768,000
at the FHLB for purposes of funding loan demand and mortgage-
backed security purchases. Total outstanding FHLB borrowings at
June 30, 2004, had a weighted-average rate of 3.71% and total
FHLB borrowings of $70,439,000 at June 30, 2003, had a weighted-
average rate of 4.18%. As of June 30, 2004, advances of
$25,895,000 are due in the next twelve months and advances of
$25,000,000 are currently convertible by the FHLB on a quarterly
basis. The FHLB's convertible fixed-rate advances allow the FHLB
the periodic option to convert to a LIBOR adjustable-rate
advance. Upon the FHLB's conversion, the bank has the option to
repay the respective advances in full. See section on Market
Risk - Interest Rate Risk for further analysis of these advances.
Union National recently became the first bank in Lancaster County
to offer our customers FDIC insurance coverage beyond $100,000
through a unique program called the Certificate of Deposit
Account Registry Service (CDARS). Through this program customers
may be able to invest up to $5 million with Union National and
maintain full FDIC insurance coverage. Union National is also
able to bid for and obtain additional brokered CDs through this
program as an additional source of liquidity. As of June 30,
2004, Union National had $10,336,000 outstanding in brokered CDs
and in CDs gathered through the CDARS program.
Stockholders' Equity
____________________
Union National and the bank maintain capital ratios that are well
above the minimum total capital levels required by federal
regulatory authorities. Except as discussed below concerning
Union National's common stock repurchase plan and the Federal
Reserve position on trust capital securities, there are no known
trends or uncertainties, including
regulatory matters that are expected to have a material adverse
impact on the capital resources of Union National for the
remainder of 2004.
On December 19, 2003, the Board of Directors of Union National
authorized and approved a plan to purchase up to 120,000 shares
of its outstanding common stock in open market or privately
negotiated transactions. The number of shares to be purchased
under the plan represents approximately 4.9% of the outstanding
shares of Union National. The Board of Directors believes that a
redemption or repurchase of this type is in the best interests of
Union National and its stockholders as a method to enhance long-
term shareholder value. Currently, the shares are to be held as
treasury shares (issued, but not outstanding shares). As of June
30, 2004, Union National purchased approximately 76,300 shares
under this plan.
Union National and the bank are subject to various regulatory
capital requirements administered by the federal banking
agencies. Failure to meet the minimum capital requirements can
initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary
actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct
material effect on Union National's financial statements. Under
capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for
prompt corrective action, Union National and the bank must meet
specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of
their assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as
calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital
amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative
judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and
other factors.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital
adequacy require Union National and the bank to maintain minimum
amounts and ratios (set forth below) of Tier 1 capital to average
assets and of Tier 1 and total capital (as defined in the
regulations) to risk-weighted assets. Management believes, as of
June 30, 2004, that Union National and the bank meet all capital
adequacy requirements to which they are subject.
As of June 30, 2004, the most recent notification from the
regulators categorized the bank as "well-capitalized" under the
regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no
conditions or events since that notification that management
believes have changed the bank's category.
Union National and the bank maintained the following regulatory
capital levels and leverage and risk-based capital ratios:

makes a determination that trust capital securities can no longer
be considered in regulatory capital.
Item 3 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET
RISK
Market Risk - Interest Rate Risk
________________________________
As a financial institution, Union National's primary component of
market risk is interest rate volatility. Fluctuations in
interest rates will ultimately impact the level of income and
expense recorded on a large portion of Union National's assets
and liabilities. The nature of Union National's current
operations is such that Union National is not subject to foreign
currency exchange or commodity price risk. Union National does
not own any trading assets.
The objectives of interest rate risk management are to maintain
or increase net interest income over a broad range of market
interest rate movements. The Asset and Liability Management
Committee is responsible for managing interest rate risk using
policies approved by Union National's Board of Directors. Union
National manages interest rate risk by changing the mix or
repricing characteristics of its investment securities portfolio
and borrowings from the FHLB and by the promotion or development
of specific loan and deposit products. Union National retains an
outside consulting group to assist in monitoring its interest
rate risk using a net interest income simulation model on a
quarterly basis. The simulation model measures the sensitivity
of future net interest income to hypothetical changes in market
interest rates.
In an effort to assess market risk, Union National utilizes a
simulation model to determine the effect of gradual increases or
decreases in market interest rates on net interest income and net
income. The aforementioned assumptions are revised based on
defined scenarios of assumed speed and direction changes of
market interest rates. These assumptions are inherently
uncertain due to the timing, magnitude and frequency of rate
changes and changes in market conditions, as well as management
strategies, among other factors. Because it is difficult to
accurately quantify into assumptions the reaction of depositors
and borrowers to market interest rate changes, the actual net
interest income and net income results may differ from simulated
results. While assumptions are developed based upon current
economic and local market conditions, management cannot make any
assurances as to the predictive nature of these assumptions.
The simulation model assumes a hypothetical gradual shift in
market interest rates over a twelve-month period. This is based
on a review of historical changes in market interest rates and
the level and curve of current interest rates. The simulated
results represent the hypothetical effects to Union National's
net interest income and net income. Projections for loan and
deposit growth were ignored in the simulation model. The
simulation model includes all of Union National's earning assets
and interest-bearing liabilities and assumes a parallel and
prorated shift in interest rates over a twelve-month period.
The simulation model currently indicates that a hypothetical one-
percent general decline in prevailing market interest rates over
a one-year period will have an immaterial positive impact on the
bank's net interest income over the next twelve months as
compared to the constant rate scenario. Only a decline in
interest rates of one-percent was modeled at June 30, 2004, based
on management's assessment of potential future interest rate
levels. In addition, a hypothetical two-percent general rise in
rates will have a moderate positive impact on net interest income
over the next twelve months.
In addition to the above scenarios, management modeled the impact
of a "flattening" interest rate yield curve on the bank's net
interest income. The rate assumptions for this scenario included
an increase in short-term interest rates while minimizing
increases in longer-term interest rates. Management determined
that this is a potential scenario considering current market
interest rates as compared to historical average interest rates.
A "flattening" interest rate environment with short-term interest
rates increasing two-percent will have an immaterial positive
impact on net interest income over the next twelve months as
compared to the constant rate scenario. The computations do not
contemplate any actions management or the Asset Liability
Management Committee could undertake in response to changes in
market conditions or market interest rates.
Union National managed its interest rate risk position in 2004 by
the following:
* increasing its use of adjustable- and floating-rate loans
for new or refinanced commercial and agricultural loans;
* the repositioning and restructuring of its investment
security portfolio;
* managing and expanding the bank's core deposit base
including deposits obtained in the bank's commercial cash
management programs; and
* additions to fixed- and variable-rate advances from the
FHLB.
The above strategies and actions impact interest rate risk and
are all included in Union National's quarterly simulation models
in order to determine future asset and liability management
strategies. See the related discussions in the section on Net
Interest Income.
Item 4 - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Union National maintains controls and procedures designed to
ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports
that the company files or submits under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported
within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Based upon their evaluation
of those controls and procedures as of June 30, 2004, Union
National's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were
adequate.
Changes in Internal Controls
During the quarter ended June 30, 2004, Union National made no
significant changes in its internal controls or in other factors
that could significantly affect these controls.
