PART I
ITEM 1 BUSINESS
United Bancshares, Inc.
United Bancshares, Inc. ("Registrant" or "UBS") is a holding company for United
Bank of Philadelphia (the "Bank"). UBS was incorporated under the laws of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania on April 8, 1993. The Registrant became the Bank
Holding Company of the Bank, pursuant to the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956,
as amended, on October 14, 1994.
The Bank commenced operations on March 23, 1992. UBS provides banking services
through the Bank. The principal executive offices of UBS and the Bank are
located at 714 Market Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19106. The Registrant's
telephone number is (215) 829-2265.
As of March 31, 1999, UBS and the Bank had a total of 75 employees.

United Bank of Philadelphia
The Bank, an African-American -controlled, state-chartered member bank of the
Federal Reserve System is regulated by both the Federal Reserve Board and the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Department of Banking (the "Department"). The
deposits held by the Bank are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation ("FDIC").
The Bank conducts all its banking activities through its six offices located as
follows: (i) Main Branch 714 Market Street, Philadelphia, PA; (ii) Center City
Branch Two Penn Center, Philadelphia, PA; (iii) West Philadelphia Branch 37th &
Lancaster Avenues, Philadelphia, PA; (iv) Mount Airy Branch 1562 East Wadsworth
Avenue, Philadelphia, PA; (v) Frankford Branch 4806 Frankford Avenue,
Philadelphia, PA; and (vi) West Girard Branch 2820 West Girard Avenue,
Philadelphia, PA. Through these locations, the Bank offers a broad range of
commercial and consumer banking services. At December 31, 1998, the Bank had
total deposits aggregating approximately $57.2 million and had total net loans
outstanding of approximately $109 million. Although the Bank's primary service
area for Community Reinvestment Act purposes is Philadelphia County, it also
services, generally, the Delaware Valley, which consists of portions of
Montgomery, Bucks, Chester, and Delaware Counties in Pennsylvania; New Castle
County in Delaware; and Camden, Burlington, and Gloucester Counties in New
Jersey. The city of Philadelphia is comprised of 353 census tracts and, based on
1990 census data, 204 or 58% of these are designated as low to moderate-income
tracts while 105 or 30% are characterized both as low to moderate-income and
minority tracts. The Bank's primary service area consists of a population of
1,577,815, which includes a minority population of 752,309.
The Bank engages in the commercial banking business, serving the banking needs
of its customers with a particular focus on, and sensitivity to, groups that
have been traditionally under-served, including Blacks, Hispanics and women. The
Bank offers a wide range of deposit products, including checking accounts,
interest-bearing NOW accounts, money market accounts, certificates of deposit,
savings accounts and Individual Retirement Accounts.
The focus of the Bank's lending activities is on the origination of commercial,
consumer and residential loans. A broad range of credit products are offered to
the businesses and consumers in the Bank's service area, including commercial
loans, mortgage loans, student loans, home improvement loans, auto loans,
personal loans, home equity loans and home equity lines of credit. At March 31,
1999 the Bank's maximum legal lending limit was approximately $1,838,000 per
borrower. However, the Bank's internal Loan Policy limits the Bank's lending to
$500,000 per borrower in order to diversify the loan portfolio. The Bank has
established relationships with correspondent banks to participate in loans that
exceed the Bank's internal policies or legal lending limits. The Board of
Directors of the Bank maintains the ability to waive its internal lending limit
upon consideration of a loan. The Board of Directors has exercised this power
with respect to loans and participants on occasion. However, the Bank maintains
no credit that exceeds its legal lending limit.
The Bank also offers commercial and retail products. In the area of commercial
loans, the Bank has flexibility to develop loan arrangements targeted at a
customer's objectives. Typically, these loans are term loans or revolving credit
arrangements with interest rate, collateral and repayments terms, varying based
upon the type of credit, and various factors used to evaluate risk. The Bank
participates in the government-sponsored Small Business Administration ("SBA")
lending program and when the Bank deems it appropriate, obtains SBA guarantees
for up to 90% of the loan amount. This guaranty effectively reduces the Bank's
exposure to loss in its commercial loan portfolio. Commercial loans are
typically made of the basis of cash flow to support repayment with secondary
reliance placed on the underlying collateral.
The Bank's consumer loan program includes installment loans for home improvement
and the purchase of consumer goods and automobiles, student loans, home equity
and VISA secured and unsecured revolving lines of credit, and checking overdraft
protection. The Bank also offers residential mortgage loans to its customers.
The Bank's concentration in the retail area is in the category of student loans
where it can minimize its risk of non-payment with government guaranties.
In addition, the Bank offers safe deposit boxes, travelers' checks, money
orders, direct deposit of payroll and Social Security checks, wire transfers and
access to regional and national automated teller networks as well as
international and trust services through correspondent institutions.
The management and Board of the Bank are very active in their respective
communities, allowing the Bank to closely
2
monitor the needs of individuals and businesses in the communities in which it
operates. The Bank continually focuses on developing programs to serve those
needs. To this end, the Bank has been instrumental in establishing Philadelphia
United Community Development Corporation ("Philadelphia United"). Philadelphia
United is a non-profit corporation incorporated in the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania. In 1997, the Bank received certification as a Community
Development Financial Institution from the Department of Treasury Community
Development Financial Institution ("CDFI") Fund. Additionally, the CDFI Fund has
agreed to provide Philadelphia United with $500 thousand for the purpose of
carrying out community development efforts. The Bank has also implemented
programs aimed at counseling individuals and businesses on financial
responsibility and credit repair. Much of this education and training service
provided by the Bank has been assumed by Philadelphia United. Philadelphia
United's programs will give individuals and businesses, located primarily in
Philadelphia's enterprise zones, access to sophisticated planning skills and
abilities.
Competition
There is substantial competition among financial institutions in the Bank's
service area. The Bank competes with local, regional and national commercial
banks, as well as savings banks and savings and loan associations. Many of these
banks and financial institutions have an amount of capital that allows them to
do more advertising and promotion and to provide a greater range of services to
customers. To date, the Bank has attracted, and believes it will continue to
attract its customers from the deposit base of such existing banks and financial
institutions largely due to the Bank's mission to service groups of people who
have traditionally been under-served and by its devotion to personalized
customer service. The Bank's strategy has been, and will continue to be, to
emphasize personalized services with special sensitivity to the needs of Blacks,
Hispanics and women and to offer competitive rates to borrowers and depositors.
In order to compete, the Bank relies upon personal contacts by the officers,
directors, advisory board and employees of the Bank to establish and maintain
relationships with Bank customers. The Bank focuses its efforts on the needs of
individuals and small and medium-sized businesses. In the event there are
customers whose loan demands exceed the Bank's lending limit, the Bank will seek
to arrange for such loans on a participation basis with other financial
institutions and intermediaries. The Bank will also assist those customers
requiring other services not offered by the Bank to obtain such services from
its correspondent banks.
Registrant believes that a portion of the Bank's customer base is derived from
customers who were dissatisfied with the level of service provided at larger
financial institutions. While some of such customers have followed officers of
those institutions who were hired by the Bank, others were attracted to the Bank
by calling programs of its officers and referrals from other customers. The Bank
has sought, in the past, and intends to continue in the future, to hire customer
contact officers who have good relationships with desirable customers. These
personal relationships, provision of a high level of customer services, and
referrals from satisfied customers, form the basis of the Bank's competitive
approach, as opposed to advertising, rate competition or the development of
proprietary banking products, services or programs.
In the past, the principal competition for deposits and loans have been other
depository institutions. However, now the Bank also competes with other
financial intermediaries such as brokerage houses offering investment vehicles
to the general public. Other entities, both public and private, seeking to raise
capital through the issuance and sale of debt or equity securities are also
competitors with banks and savings and loan associations in the acquisition of
deposits. In order to address the risk of deposit reduction due to investment in
non-bank alternatives, the Bank has established a relationship with American
Express Financial Advisors ("AEFA"). AEFA provides the Bank with two certified
financial advisors who consult with the Bank's customers wishing to consider
alternative investments. These advisors maintain their offices in the Main
Branch and Wadsworth Branch of the Bank. The Bank receives compensation from
AEFA for each securities purchase made through these advisors, thus yielding
additional fee income.

PART II
ITEM 5 - Market for the Registrant's Common Stock.
Common Stock
As of March 31, 1999 there were 3,177 shareholders of record of UBS's Common
Stock.
The Common Stock is not traded on any national exchange or otherwise traded in
any recognizable market. Prior to December 31, 1993, the Bank conducted a
limited offering (the "Offering") pursuant to a registration exemption provided
in Section 3(a)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1933 (the "Securities
Act"). The price-per-share during the Offering was $12.00. Prior to the
Offering, the Bank conducted an initial offering of the Common Stock (the
"Initial Offering") at $10.00 per share pursuant to the same registration
exemption.
Beginning April 24, 1995, Registrant commenced a private offering solely to
existing stockholders of 250,000 shares of its common stock and 750,000 warrants
to purchase a share of the common stock. 18,465 shares and 55,395 warrants have
been sold pursuant to this offering. Each unit, consisting of one share of
common stock and three warrants to purchase one share of common stock in each of
three subsequent years (total 3 shares), were issued at $12.00 per unit. The
warrant exercise price was $8.00 per share for the 1996 Warrant was $9.00 per
share for the 1997 Warrant, and will be $10.00 per share for the 1998 Warrant.
The exercise price of the warrants may be adjusted to avoid dilution of warrant
holders. The units were offered pursuant to an exemption from registration
contained in section 4(2) and 3(a)(5) of the Act. No underwriters were used and
no commissions were paid as a result of this offering. The offering closed on
December 31, 1995. In December 1995, the Registrant sold 41,666 shares of
Registrant's common stock in an offering exempt from registration pursuant to
section 4(2) of the Act at a purchase price of $12.00 per share. This sale was
accomplished pursuant to a commitment to purchase these securities issued in
December 1994.
Beginning May 10, 1996, Registrant commenced a private offering solely to
existing stockholders of 250,000 shares of its common stock. 6,934 shares were
sold pursuant to this offering. The stock was offered pursuant to an exemption
from registration contained in 4(2) and 3(a)(5) of the Act. During 1996, the
Registrant received, $55,536 and issued 6,942 shares as a result of warrant
exercises by shareholders to purchase common stock at a price of $8.00 per
share. Beginning May 19, 1997, Registrant commenced an offering solely to
existing stockholders of 250,000 shares of its common stock, initially on a
pro-rata basis. 3,550 shares were sold pursuant to this offering. The stock was
offered pursuant to an exemption contained in 4(2) and 3(a)(5) of the Act.
During 1997, the Registrant received $34,710 and issued 3,856 shares as a result
of exercise of the 1997 warrants at $9.00 per share. During 1998, Registrant
received $14,922 as a result of the exercise of the 1998 Warrants at $10.00 per
share and sold 6,492 shares of common stock as a result to its offering solely
to stockholders of record. This offering was exempt pursuant to an exemption
from registration contained in sections 4(2) and 3(a)(5) of the Act. As of March
31, 1999, there were no warrants outstanding to purchase common stock of the
Bank.
Class B Common Stock
On September 30, 1998, the Registrant filed Articles of Amendment to its
Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania. The filing amended the Articles of Incorporation of the Registrant
to designate a sub-class of ist Common Stock as Class B Common Stock. Pursuant
to the terms of the amendment, holders of the Class B Common Stock have all
rights of Common Stockholders, with the exception of voting rights.
Effective October 9, 1999, the Registrant sold 83,333 shares of its Class B
Common Stock to First Union Corporation ("First Union") for a purchase price of
$12 per share. The sale was exempt from registration requirements pursuant to
section 4(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1933 (the "Act
Effective February 8, 1999, the Registrant sold 83,333 shares of its Class B
Common Stock to First Union for a purchase
5
price of $12 per share. The sale was exempt from registration requirements
pursuant to section 4(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1933 (the "Act").
Series A Preferred Stock
Registrant has engaged in the sale of Series A Preferred Stock which has the
characteristics identified in the UBS Articles of Incorporation incorporated by
reference as an Exhibit hereto pursuant to an exemption from registration
contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. On July 23, 1998, the
Registrant sold 39,849 shares of its Series A Preferred Stock to the Federal
National Mortgage Association at a purchase price of $20 per share.
Dividends
Registrant has not, during the three most recent fiscal periods declared or paid
any cash or stock dividends. The Pennsylvania Banking Code of 1965, as amended,
provides that cash dividends may be declared and paid only from accumulated net
earnings and that, prior to the declaration of any dividend, if the surplus of a
bank is less than the amount of its capital, the bank shall, until surplus is
equal to such amount, transfer to surplus an amount which is at least ten
percent of the net earnings of the bank for the period since the end of the last
fiscal year or any shorter period since the declaration of a dividend. If the
surplus of a bank is less than 50% of the amount of its capital, no dividend may
be declared or paid by the Bank without the prior approval of the Pennsylvania
Department of Banking.
Under the Federal Reserve Act, if a bank has sustained losses equal to or
exceeding its undivided profits then on hand, no dividend shall be paid, and no
dividends can ever be paid in an amount greater than such bank's net profits
less losses and bad debts. Cash dividends must be approved by the Board if the
total of all cash dividends declared by a bank in any calendar year, including
the proposed cash dividend, exceeds the total of the Bank's net profits for that
year plus its retained net profits from the preceding two years less any
required transfers to surplus or to a fund for the retirement of preferred
stock. Under the Federal Reserve Act, the Board has the power to prohibit the
payment of cash dividends by a bank if it determines that such a payment would
be an unsafe or unsound banking practice. As a result of this regulation, the
Bank, and therefore the Registrant, will most likely be unable to pay any
dividends while an accumulated deficit exists. The Registrant does not
anticipate that dividends will be paid for the forseeable future.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Act generally prohibits all payments of dividends
by a bank which is in default of any assessment to the FDIC.

ITEM 7 - MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
In April 1993, the shareholders of United Bank of Philadelphia (the Bank)
voted in favor of the formation of a bank holding company, United Bancshares,
Inc. (the Company). Accordingly, in October 1994 the Company became a bank
holding company in conjunction with the issuance of its common shares in
exchange for the common shares of the Bank. Since 1994, the financial statements
are prepared on a consolidated basis to include the accounts of the Company and
the Bank. Financial data for prior periods are presented for the Bank only.
The purpose of this discussion is to focus on information about the Bank's
financial condition and results of operations which is not otherwise apparent
from the consolidated financial statements included in this annual report. This
discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements presented elsewhere in this report.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Summary
The Company recorded net income of $10,000 ($.01 per share) for 1998
compared to net income of $181,000 ($0.22 per share) in 1997 and a loss of
$832,000 ($1.03 per share) in 1996. The decline in earnings during 1998 is
primarily attributable to an increase in the provision for loan losses. A more
detailed explanation for each component of earnings is included in the sections
below.
Management continues to recognize the need to grow the Bank's deposit level
to generate operating economies of scale and net interest income to cover the
cost of operations. During 1998, average-earning assets increased
7
approximately $9.6 million, or 10.1%, while the net yield on average interest
earning assets increased slightly to 5.03%. The result was an increase of
$497,000 in net interest income from 1997 to 1998
The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans increased from
0.63% in 1997 to 1.17% in 1998. This increase is primarily attributable to a
specific provision of approximately $200,000 for one commercial loan as well as
a $16 million decline in total loans outstanding at year-end.

Net Interest Income
Net interest income is an effective measure of how well management has
balanced the Bank's interest rate-sensitive assets and liabilities. Net interest
income, the difference between (a) interest and fees on interest-earning assets
and (b) interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities, is a significant
component of the Bank's earnings. Changes in net interest income result
primarily from increases or decreases in the average balances of
interest-earning assets, the availability of particular sources of funds and
changes in prevailing interest rates.
Net interest income for 1998 totaled $5.2 million, an increase of $497,000, or
10.5%, compared to 1997. Net interest income in 1997 totaled $4.7 million, an
increase of $485,000, or 11.4%, compared to 1996.

Changes in interest income or expense not arising solely as a result of volume
or rate variances are allocated to rate variances due to the interest
sensitivity of consolidated assets and liabilities.
In 1998, there was an increase in net interest income of $460,000 due to
changes in volume and an increase of $37,000 due to changes in rate. In 1997,
there was an increase in net interest income of $432,000 due to changes in
volume and a decrease of $53,000 due to changes in rate.

Average earning assets increased from $94.5 million in 1997 to $104.1
million in 1998 and from $86 million in 1996 to $94.5 million in 1997. This
growth in earning assets is primarily attributed to an increase in average
interest-bearing demand deposit balances. In December 1997, the Bank implemented
a new deposit transfer ("sweep") product for its nonprofit and municipal
customers which provides for the overnight transfer of available funds from a
noninterest-bearing account to an interest-bearing account. In addition, new
"Prestige" checking products were developed in April 1998. These products offer
premiums such as life insurance, discount shopping, premium certificate of
deposit rates, etc. While benefiting customers, these products also serve as
means of generating low cost funds for the Bank as well as a source of service
charge income from monthly membership, low balance and overdraft fees.
The Bank's net interest margin increased slightly to 5.03% in 1998 and 1997
compared to 4.95% in 1996. The prime rate increased 50 basis points during 1998
from 8.25% to 8.75%, the Bank did not experience a similar increase in yield on
its loan portfolio. This is because much of the Bank's loan portfolio is fixed
rate in nature and not related to prime.
During 1998, the average federal funds rate increased slightly to 5.31%
compared to 5.26% in 1997 and 5.17% in 1996. During 1998, the average investment
in federal funds increased by $3.8 million as a result of an increased level of
deposits in the Bank's "sweep" checking account which represent high balance
short-term deposits. In addition, during 1998, the Bank experienced high levels
of payoffs/paydowns in its mortgage and purchased automobile loan portfolios.
Funds were temporarily placed in federal funds sold until other loans were
originated and/or purchased.
The yield on the investment portfolio decreased 16 basis points to 6.57% in
1998 compared to 6.63% in 1997 and 6.07% in 1996. The decline in yield during
1998 was due to call options in certain higher yielding Government Agency
securities that were exercised during year. The Bank was not able to place the
proceeds from these premature maturities into securities with comparable yields
due to a lower rate environment.
The cost of interest-bearing deposits remained relatively unchanged at
3.56% in 1998 compared to 3.57% in 1997 and 3.41% in 1996. During 1998 and 1997,
interest rates paid on deposits remained relatively constant. The increase
during 1997 was primarily related to the introduction of a fourth tier for
balances in excess of $250,000 on the Bank's Business Money Market Account,
which earns a higher interest rate. This product was designed to attract
customers with larger deposit balances.
Provision for Loan Losses
The provision is based on management's estimate of the amount needed to
maintain an adequate allowance for loan losses. This estimate is based on the
review of the loan portfolio, the level of net credit losses, past loan loss
experience, the general economic outlook and other factors management feels are
appropriate.
The provision and allowance for loan losses charged against earnings in
1998 was $350,500 compared to $97,000 in 1997 and $85,000 in 1996. The increase
in 1998 is primarily related to one community development construction loan for
which there was a specific provision allocated of $200,000. In addition, during
1998, there was an increased level of loans for which there was no related
government guaranteeCpurchased automobile loans and commercial loans. Also,
although the Bank has not charged-off loans in its residential mortgage loan
portfolio, there was an increased level of delinquencies/classifications. As a
result of the increased credit risk in the portfolio, a higher level of loan
loss provision was made. Management believes the level of the allowance for loan
losses was adequate as of December 31, 1998.
10
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income increased $299,000 in 1998 compared to 1997. The
increase was primarily related to an increased level of fees on deposits as a
result of the elimination of the Bank's "free checking" product and the
introduction of a new premium checking product--"Prestige checking". This new
product offers premiums such as discount shopping, bonus certificate of deposit
rates, insurance, etc. to customers but also has a minimum balance and monthly
membership fee requirements. In addition, the Bank's ATM fees increased $142,000
during 1998 as a result of increased volume at its machines as well as growth in
the ATM network from 26 to 28 machines. Finally, the Bank sold loans
approximately $13.2 million in loans during 1998 for a gain of $200,000.
Noninterest income increased $399,000 in 1997 compared to 1996. The
increase was primarily a result of increased ATM surcharge fees ($418,000 in
1997 compared to $150,000 in 1996) due to a full year of ATM surcharge fees
compared to two quarters in 1996, an increase in the ATM surcharge from $0.90
per transaction in 1996 to $1.00 in 1997, and growth in the ATM network from 15
to 23 machines. In addition, continued growth in the number of demand deposit
accounts to which activity charges apply and the implementation of a low-balance
charge on "free checking" accounts when the balance falls below $100 resulted in
a $113,000 increase in demand deposit-related fee income--including overdraft
fees, low balance fees, and activity charges. Finally, during 1997, the Bank
sold approximately $9.7 million student loans for a gain of $187,000.
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense increased $714,000, or 11.9%, in 1998 to $6.7 million
compared to $6 million in 1997 and $6.1 million in 1996.
Salaries and benefits increased $158,000, or 7%, in 1998 compared to an
increase of $142,000, or 6.3%, in 1997. In addition to normal salary
adjustments, the increase during 1998 came as a result of an increase in
staffing levels to handle increased work volumes due to growth in the Bank's
deposit levels during the year. In addition, during 1997 the chief executive
officer's employment contract was amended to provide her with a defined
contribution retirement plan, which resulted in a $48,000 expense for both 1998
and 1997. Also, during 1998, the chief executive officer received incentive
compensation totaling approximately $28,000.
Occupancy and equipment expense increased approximately $260,000, or 26%,
during 1998 compared to an increase of $117,000, or 13%, during 1997. The
increase during 1998 was primarily attributable to annual escalations in lease
payments, a July 1998 expiration of a "free rent" agreement with the RTC on the
Bank's Wadsworth Avenue branch, and increased maintenance cost to service the
Bank's growing ATM network. The Bank negotiated a month-to-month extension of
its lease with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (previously RTC) for
$1,875 per month. Purchase of this branch is currently under consideration. Upon
appropriate evaluation and review of the current appraised value, a decision
will be made as to whether the Bank continues to lease or purchase the branch.
Data processing expenses increased by $25,000, or 3%, during 1998 compared
to $32,000, or 4%, in 1997. The bulk of the Bank's data processing is outsourced
to third-party processors. These expenses are reflective of the high level of
low-balance accounts being serviced for which the Bank is charged a per-account
charge by processors. The increase during 1998 was primarily attributable to
growth in deposit levels as well as increased charges by vendors. The Bank
continues to study methods by which it may reduce its data processing costs,
including, but not limited to, a consolidation of servicers, in-house processing
versus outsourcing, and the possible renegotiation of existing contracts with
servicers. In an effort to reduce these costs during 1998, the Bank continues to
sell its student loan portfolio and replace it with commercial and other
consumer loans with lower servicing costs.
Marketing and public relations expense increased by $49,000, or 28%, in
1998 compared to an increase of $36,000, or 28%, in 1997. The increase in 1998
was primarily related to the introduction of the new "Prestige checking" product
for which the Bank pays an outside vendor to provide premiums (i.e. life
insurance, discount
11
shopping, etc.).
Federal deposit insurance premiums were $82,000 in 1998 compared to $66,000
in 1997 and $616,000 in 1996. FDIC insurance premiums are applied to all
financial institutions based on a risk-based premium assessment system. Under
this system, bank strength is based on three factors: 1) asset quality, 2)
capital strength, and 3) management. Premium assessments are then assigned based
on the institution's overall rating, with the stronger institutions paying lower
rates. During 1996, there was a one-time SAIF Special Assessment of
approximately $485,000 resulting from legislation passed by Congress on
September 30, 1996 to recapitalize the SAIF. As a result, commercial banks, like
United Bank, which were members of the BIF and owned SAIF-assessable deposits,
were required to pay a one-time assessment of 65.7 basis points of total
SAIF-assessable deposits on November 27, 1996. Because the Bank acquired
deposits of failed savings and loan institutions from the RTC in 1993 and 1994,
approximately $71 million of its deposits are considered SAIF-assessable. Almost
immediately following the acquisitions, a significant amount of acquired RTC
savings and loan deposits ran off, leaving a balance of less than $20 million.
However, the legislation did not make any provision for deposit runoff. The
assessment during 1998 and 1997 was based on 1.29 basis points for
BIF-assessable deposits and 6.28 basis points for SAIF-assessable deposits.
All other expenses are reflective of the general cost to do business and
compete in the current regulatory environment and maintenance of adequate
insurance coverage.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
Sources and Uses of Funds
The Bank's financial condition can be evaluated in terms of trends in its
sources and uses of funds. The comparison of average balances in Table 3
indicates how the Bank has managed these elements. Average funding uses
increased approximately $9.6 million, or 10.12%, in 1998 compared to $8.5
million, or 9.98%, in 1997.

Investment Securities and other Short-Term Investments
The Bank's investment portfolio is classified as either held-to-maturity or
available-for-sale. Investments classified as held-to-maturity are carried at
amortized cost and are those securities the Bank has both the intent and ability
to hold to maturity. Investments classified as available-for-sale are those
investments the Bank intends to hold for an indefinite amount of time, but not
necessarily to maturity, and are carried at fair value, with the unrealized
holding gains and losses reported as a component of shareholders' equity on the
balance sheet.
Average investment securities and federal funds sold, in the aggregate,
increased by $7.1 million, or 27.8%, in 1998 compared to an increase of $4.9
million, or 23.5%, in 1997. The increase during 1998 is a result of 12.4%
deposit growth and the temporary investment of the proceeds from loan sales and
paydowns/payoffs in the mortgage and purchased automobile loan portfolios in
federal funds sold until loans were originated and/or purchased.
The Bank's investment portfolio primarily consists of mortgage-backed
pass-through agency securities, U.S. Treasury securities, and other
government-sponsored agency securities. The Bank does not invest in high-risk
securities or complex structured notes.
As reflected in Table 4, the assumed average maturity of the investment
portfolio was 3.59 years at year-end
13
1998. Approximately 18.3% of the portfolio consists of mortgage-backed
pass-through securities that have longer-term contractual maturities but are
sometimes paid off/down before maturity or have repricing characteristics that
occur before final maturity. The Bank has attempted to minimize the repayment
risk (risk of very fast or very slow repayment) associated with these types of
securities by investing primarily in a number of seasoned mortgage pools for
which there is a repayment history. This history better enables the Bank to
project the repayment speeds of these pools. In addition, the Bank has minimized
the interest rate risk associated with these mortgage-backed securities by
investing in a variety of pools, many of which have variable rates with indices
that track closely with the current interest rate environment.

each security).
Loans
Average loans increased approximately $2.4 million, or 3.56%, in 1998
compared to an increase of $3.6 million, or 5.59%, in 1997. The increase during
1998 was primarily due to an increase in commercial loan originations and the
purchase of approximately $8 million in seasoned automobile loans in November
1997 and $4.5 million in April 1998. During 1998, the Bank sold $13.1 million
($2 million in March 1998 and $11.1 million in December 1998) in student loans
in an effort to reduce data processing costs and to improve the overall yield on
the loan portfolio by shifting the funds into higher-yielding commercial and
consumer loans. In addition, during 1998 mortgage loans continue to decline as a
result of payoff/paydowns and refinancings due to the low mortgage rate
environment.
The Bank's policy is to make its loans and commitments in the market area
it serves. However, from time-to-time, the Bank has purchased a significant
portion of its loan portfolio to adequately match its level of deposits and to
improve the net interest margin. The Bank continues to originate loans and a
strong pipeline of loans located within the Philadelphia region.

Nonperforming Loans
Table 7 reflects the Bank's nonperforming loans for the last five years.
The Bank generally determines a loan to be "nonperforming" when interest or
principal is past due 90 days or more. If it otherwise appears doubtful that the
loan will be repaid, management may consider the loan to be nonperforming before
the lapse of 90 days. The Bank's policy is to charge off unsecured loans after
90 days past due. Interest on nonperforming loans ceases to accrue except for
loans that are well-collateralized and in the process of collection. When a loan
is placed on nonaccrual, previously accrued and unpaid interest is generally
reversed out of income unless adequate collateral from which to collect the
principal of, and interest on, the loan appears to be available.

There is no known information about possible credit problems other than

ability of any borrower to comply with present loan terms.
The Bank grants commercial, residential, and consumer loans to customers
primarily located in Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania and surrounding counties
in the Delaware Valley. Although the Bank has a diversified loan portfolio, its
debtors' ability to honor their contracts is influenced by the region's economy.
At December 31, 1998, approximately 33% of the Bank's commercial loan
portfolio was concentrated in loans made to religious organizations. From
inception, the Bank has received support in the form of investments and deposits
and has developed strong relationships with the Philadelphia region's religious
community. Loans made to these organizations were primarily for expansion and
repair of church facilities. At December 31, 1998, none of these loans were
nonperforming.
During 1998, nonaccrual loans increased to $1.7 million, up from $1.2
million at December 31, 1997. The increase in the level of nonaccrual loans
during 1998 is primarily attributable to one community development construction
loan and the aging of the residential mortgage loan portfolios the Bank acquired
in 1993 and 1994. At December 31, 1998, approximately $501,000 of the total
nonaccrual loans were residential mortgages. The underlying collateral minimizes
the risk of loss associated with these loans. Loans past due 90 days and still
accruing consist primarily of student loans for which there is a 98% guarantee
of principal and interest.
Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses reflects management's continuing evaluation
of the loan portfolio, assessment of economic conditions, the diversification
and size of the portfolio, adequacy of collateral, past and anticipated loss
experience, and the amount and quality of nonperforming loans. Table 9 presents
the allocation of loan losses by major category for the past five years. The
specific allocations in any particular category may prove to be excessive or
inadequate and consequently may be reallocated in the future to reflect
then-current conditions.

Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate. While
management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, future
additions may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions. In addition,
various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process,
periodically review the Bank's allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may
require the Bank to recognize additions to the allowance based on their
judgments of information available to them at the time of the examination.

loan losses are based upon the periodic evaluations of the loan portfolio by
management. These evaluations consider several factors, including, but not
limited to, general economic conditions, loan portfolio composition, prior loan
loss experience, and management's estimate of future potential losses.

Deposits
Average deposits grew approximately $11.4 million, or 12.4%, in 1998
compared to growth of $8.5 million, or 10.2%, in 1997. Sweep deposit accounts
were introduced in late 1997 as a vehicle to attract larger deposits by sweeping
funds out of noninterest-bearing demand deposit accounts and investing them
overnight in interest-bearing deposit accounts. At December 31, 1998, there were
$10 million in such accounts. In addition, in 1998, non-interest bearing
deposits increased on average by $3.8 million as a result of the introduction of
the new "Prestige checking" product.

Other Borrowed Funds
The average balance for other borrowed funds increased $259,000, or 20.52%,
in 1998 compared to a decrease of $559,000, or 30.70%, in 1997. The increase in
other borrowed funds during 1998 was due to higher-balance reverse repurchase
agreements the Bank entered into in 1998 compared to 1997. The level of other
borrowed funds is dependent on many items such as loan growth, deposit growth,
customer collateral/security requirements and interest rates paid for these
funds.
Liquidity and Interest Rate Sensitivity Management
The primary functions of asset/liability management are to assure adequate
liquidity and maintain appropriate balance between interest-sensitive earning
assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Liquidity management involves the
ability to meet cash flow requirements of customers who may be either depositors
wanting to withdraw funds or borrowers needing assurance that sufficient funds
will be available to meet their credit needs. Interest rate sensitivity
management seeks to avoid fluctuating net interest margins and enhance
consistent growth of net interest income through periods of changing interest
rates.
The Bank is required to maintain minimum levels of liquid assets as defined
by Federal Reserve Board (FRB) regulations. This requirement is evaluated in
relation to the composition and stability of deposits; the degree and trend of
reliance on short-term, volatile sources of funds, including any undue reliance
on particular segments of the money market or brokered deposits; any difficulty
in obtaining funds; and the liquidity provided by securities and other assets.
In addition, consideration is given to the nature, volume and anticipated use of
commitments; the adequacy of liquidity and funding policies and practices,
including the provision for alternate sources of funds; and the nature and trend
of off-balance-sheet activities. As of December 31, 1998, management believes
the Bank's liquidity is satisfactory and in compliance with FRB regulations
The Bank's principal sources of asset liquidity include investment
securities consisting principally of U.S. Government and agency issues,
particularly those of shorter maturities, and mortgage-backed securities with
monthly repayments of principal and interest. Securities maturing in one year or
less amounted to $19 million at December 31, 1998, representing 44% of the
investment portfolio. Other types of assets such as federal funds sold,
18
as well as maturing loans, are sources of liquidity. Approximately $5.9 million
in loans are scheduled to mature within one year.
The Bank's overall liquidity has been enhanced by a significant level of
core deposits which management has determined are less sensitive to interest
rate movements. The Bank has avoided reliance on large-denomination time
deposits as well as brokered deposits. Table 11 provides a breakdown of the
maturity of deposits of $100,000 or more.

========
Interest rate sensitivity varies with different types of interest-earning
assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Overnight federal funds on which rates
change daily and loans that are tied to prime or other short-term indices differ
considerably from long-term investment securities and fixed-rate loans.
Similarly, time deposits are much more interest-sensitive than passbook savings
accounts. The shorter-term interest rate sensitivities are key to measuring the
interest sensitivity gap or excess interest-earning assets over interest-bearing
liabilities. Management of interest sensitivity involves matching repricing
dates of interest-earning assets with interest-bearing liabilities in a manner
designed to optimize net interest income within the limits imposed by regulatory
authorities, liquidity determinations and capital considerations. Table 12 sets
forth the earliest repricing distribution of the Bank's interest-earning assets
and interest-bearing liabilities at December 31, 1998, the Bank's interest rate
sensitivity gap ratio (i.e. excess of interest rate-sensitive assets over
interest rate-sensitive liabilities, divided by total assets) and the Bank's
cumulative interest rate sensitivity gap ratio. For purposes of the table,
except for savings deposits, an asset or liability is considered rate-sensitive
within a specified period when it matures or could be repriced within such
period or repriced within such period in accordance with its contractual terms.
At December 31, 1998, a liability sensitive position is maintained on a
cumulative basis through one year of -12.24% that is within the Bank's policy
guidelines of +/-15% on a cumulative one-year basis. The current gap position is
primarily due to the high concentration of fixed-rate mortgage loans the Bank
has in its loan portfolio but is somewhat mitigated by the Bank's high level of
core deposits that have been placed in longer repricing intervals. Generally,
because of the Bank's negative gap position in shorter time frames, the Bank can
anticipate that increases in market rates will have a negative impact on the net
interest income, while decreases will have the opposite effect.
For purposes of the gap analysis, such deposits (savings, MMA, NOW) which
do not have definitive maturity dates and do not readily react to changes in
interest rates have been placed in longer repricing intervals versus immediate
repricing time frames, making the analysis more reflective of the Bank's
historical experience.

Core deposits such as checking and savings deposits have been placed in
repricing intervals based on historical trends and management's estimates.
While using the interest sensitivity gap analysis is a useful management
tool as it considers the quantity of assets and liabilities subject to repricing
in a given time period, it does not consider the relative sensitivity to market
interest rate changes that are characteristic of various interest rate-sensitive
assets and liabilities. Consequently, even though the Bank currently has a
negative gap position because of unequal sensitivity of these assets and
liabilities, management believes this position will not materially impact
earnings in a changing rate
20
environment. For example, changes in the prime rate on variable commercial loans
may not result in an equal change in the rate of money market deposits or
short-term certificates of deposit. A simulation model is therefore used to
estimate the impact of various changes, both upward and downward, in market
interest rates and volumes of assets and liabilities on the Bank's net income.
This model produces an interest rate exposure report that forecast changes in
the market value of portfolio equity under alternative interest rate
environments. The market value of portfolio equity is defined as the present
value of the Company's existing assets, liabilities and off-balance-sheet
instruments. The calculated estimates of changes in market value of portfolio
value at December 31, 1998 are as follows:
Market value of Percent of
Changes in rate portfolio equity change
(Dollars in thousands)
+400 basis points ($19,251) (764)%
+300 basis points (13,714) (573)
+200 basis points (8,176) (382)
+100 basis points (2,640) (191)
Flat rate 2,898 --

-200 basis points 13,972 382
-300 basis points 19,510 573
-400 basis points 25,048 764
The assumptions used in evaluating the vulnerability of the Company's
earnings and capital to changes in interest rates are based on management's
consideration of past experience, current position and anticipated future
economic conditions. The interest sensitivity of the Company's assets and
liabilities, as well as the estimated effect of changes in interest rates on the
market value of portfolio equity, could vary substantially if different
assumptions are used or actual experience differs from the assumptions on which
the calculations were based.
The Bank's Board of Directors and management consider all of the relevant
factors and conditions in the asset/liability planning process. Interest rate
exposure is not significant and is within the Bank's policy limits at December
31, 1998. However, if significant interest rate risk arises, the Board of
Directors and management may take (but are not limited to) one or all of the
following steps to reposition the balance sheet as appropriate:
1. Limit jumbo certificates of deposit and movement into money market
deposit accounts and short-term certificates of deposit through
pricing and other marketing strategies.
2. Purchase quality loan participations with appropriate interest
rate/gap match for the Bank's balance sheet.
3. Restructure the Bank's investment portfolio.
The Board of Directors has determined that active supervision of the
interest rate spread between yield on earning assets and cost of funds will
decrease the Bank's vulnerability to interest rate cycles.
Capital Resources
Total shareholders' equity increased $1.9 million in 1998 compared to an
increase of approximately $300,000 in 1997. The increase in 1998 is a result of
retained earnings ($10,000), sale of common stock ($1.1 million), and the sale
of preferred stock ($796,000).
The FRB standards for measuring capital adequacy for U.S. Banking
organizations require that banks maintain capital based on "risk-adjusted"
assets so that categories of assets with potentially higher risk will require
more capital backing than assets with lower risk. In addition, banks are
required to maintain capital to support, on a risk-adjusted basis, certain
off-balance-sheet activities such as loan commitments. The FRB standards
classify capital into two tiers, referred to as Tier 1 and Tier 2. Tier 1
consists of common shareholders' equity,
21
noncumulative and cumulative perpetual preferred stock, and minority interests
less goodwill. Tier 2 capital consists of allowance for loan losses, hybrid
capital instruments, term subordinated debt, and intermediate-term preferred
stock. Banks are required to meet a minimum ratio of 8% of qualifying capital to
risk-adjusted total assets with at least 4% Tier 1 capital and a Tier I leverage
ratio of at least 6%. Capital that qualifies as Tier 2 capital is limited to
100% of Tier 1 capital.
As indicated in Table 13, the Bank's risk-based capital ratios are above
the minimum requirements. Management continues the objective of raising
additional capital by offering additional stock (preferred and common) for sale
to the public as well as increasing the rate of internal capital growth as a
means of maintaining the required capital ratios. The Company and the Bank do
not anticipate paying dividends in the near future.

Regulatory Matters
At December 31, 1998, the Bank is operating under a Supervisory Letter from
its primary regulator. The Supervisory Letter, among other things, prevents the
Bank and the Company from declaring or paying dividends without the prior
written approval of its regulators and prohibits the Bank and the Company from
issuing debt.
Income (Loss) Per Share
During 1997, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, "Earnings Per Share." SFAS No. 128
eliminates primary and fully diluted earnings per share (EPS) and requires
presentation of basic and diluted EPS in conjunction with the disclosure of the
methodology used in computing such EPS. Basic EPS excludes dilution and is
computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted
average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS takes into
account the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts
to issue common stock were exercised and converted into common stock. Prior
period EPS calculations have been restated to reflect the adoption of SFAS No.
128.
Reporting Comprehensive Income
In January 1998, the Bank adopted SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive
Income. This standard establishes new standards for reporting comprehensive
income which includes net income as well as certain other items which result in
a change to equity during the period. These financial statements have been
reclassified to reflect the provisions of SFAS No. 130.
22
Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information
In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, which is effective for all
periods beginning after December 15, 1998. SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures About
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," requires that public
business enterprises report certain information about operating segments in
complete sets of financial statements of the enterprise and in condensed
financial statements of interim periods issued to shareholders. It also requires
that public business enterprises report certain information about their products
and services, the geographic area in which they operate, and their major
customers. Management is currently evaluating the disclosure impact of SFAS No.
131 on its financial statements. Management has determined that the Bank
operates in one segment, namely community banking.
Cautionary Statement
Certain statements contained herein are not based on historical fact and
are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements, which are based upon

Company), may be identified by reference to a future period, or periods, or by
the use of forward-looking terminology such as "may," "will," "believe,"
"expect," "estimate," "anticipate," "continue," or similar terms or variations
on those terms, or the negative of those terms. Actual results could differ
materially from those set forth in forward-looking statements. Factors that
could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the
forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, economic growth;
governmental monetary policy, including interest rate policies of the FRB;

capital spending; technological change; the state of the securities and capital
markets; acquisition; consumer spending and savings; expense levels; tax,
securities, and banking laws; and prospective legislation.
23
Year 2000
The Year 2000 problem is the result of computer programs being written
using two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Any of the
Company's programs or that of its vendor that have time-sensitive software may
recognize the date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the Year 2000. This
could result in major system failure or miscalculations. The "Year 2000"
potential problems create risk for the Company from unforeseen problems in its
own computer system and from third parties such as other financial institutions,
the federal government, federal agencies, vendors and customers. Failures of the
Company's or third party's computer systems could have a material effect on the
Company's abilities to conduct business, especially to process and account for
the transfer of funds electronically
Like many financial institutions, the Company relies upon computers for
conducting its daily operations. Failure to resolve Year 2000 issues presents
the following risks to the Company: (1) the Bank could lose customers to other
financial institutions, resulting in loss revenue, if the Bank is unable to
properly account for customer transactions; (2) governmental agencies, such as
the Federal Home Loan Bank, and correspondent institutions could fail to provide
funds to the Bank which could materially impair the Bank's liquidity and affect
the Bank's ability to fund loans and deposit withdrawals; (3) concern on the
part of depositors that Year 2000 issues could impair access to their deposit
account balances could result in the Bank experiencing deposit outflows prior to
December 31, 1999; and (4) the bank could incur increased personnel costs if
additional staff is required to perform functions that inoperative systems would
have otherwise performed. Management believes that it is not possible to
estimate the potential lost revenue due to the Year 2000 issue, as the extent
and longevity of any potential problem cannot be predicted.
The Company has conducted a comprehensive review of its computer systems,
both internal and outsourced processing, to identify the systems that could be
affected by the "Year 2000" issue and has developed a Year 2000 Plan to modify
or replace the affected systems and test them for Year 2000 readiness, To date,
the Company has taken the following actions to mitigate the potential effects of
the Year 2000 issue:
o The Bank has upgraded all applicable computer systems (hardware and
software) to be Year 2000 ready. Management is currently testing all
systems to ensure Year 2000 Compliance and is developing an implementation
plan to resolve the issue.
o The Board of Directors has adopted a Year 2000 Plan that Management is
currently implementing. The Plan address the overall status of the Year
2000 Project, details of the Company's contingency plan, describes mission
critical systems and non-mission critical systems, identifies all third
party vendors and applicable testing strategies and test dates. The Company
has also written a Year 2000 Business Resumption Plan that contains all
mission critical systems and services.
o The Company has established a Year 2000 Committee consisting of members of
senior management which currently meets at least monthly to discuss
progress on the Year 2000 Plan, and
o A Year 2000 budget has been developed which estimates the cost associated
with Year 2000 readiness. Current estimates of the cost to be incurred to
prepare for the Year 2000 range from do not exceed $200,000. In conjunction
with Year 2000 preparation, the Bank plans to make most hardware upgrades
as a normal part of replacement of equipment--thereby minimizing cost. Cost
estimates include primarily personnel and consulting time to ensure all
business components/processes have been considered and tested for
compliance.
o The Bank holds customer awareness seminars and has contacted its major loan
and deposit customers to advise them to review their own systems for
possible Year 2000 problems. In determining credit risk for existing
customers as well as in making credit decisions for major borrowers, the
Bank considers the impact of the Year 2000 issues.

United Bancshares, Inc. and Subsidiary
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 1998 and 1997
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of United
Bancshares, Inc. (the Company) and its wholly owned subsidiary, United Bank
of Philadelphia (the Bank). All significant intercompany transactions and
balances have been eliminated.
Statement of Cash Flows
For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include
cash on hand, amounts due from banks, and federal funds sold on an
overnight basis.
Securities Held-to-Maturity
Bonds, notes, and debentures for which the Bank has both the positive
intent and ability to hold are classified as held-to-maturity and carried
at cost, adjusted for premiums and discounts that are recognized in
interest income using the interest method over the period to maturity.
Securities Available-for-Sale
Available-for-sale securities consist of bonds, notes and debentures, and
certain equity securities for which the Bank does not have positive intent
to hold to maturity. These securities are carried at fair value.
Unrealized holding gains and losses on securities classified as
available-for-sale are carried as a separate component of shareholders'
equity net of related income tax effects.
Gains and losses on the sale of available-for-sale securities are
determined by the specific identification method.
Premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest
method over the period to maturity.
Loans
Loans are stated at the amount of unpaid principal, reduced by net unearned
discount and an allowance for loan losses. Interest income on loans is
recognized as earned based on contractual interest rates applied to daily
principal amounts outstanding and accretion of discount. It is the Bank's
policy to discontinue the accrual of interest income when a default of
principal or interest exists for a period of 90 days except when, in
management's judgment, the collection of principal and interest is
reasonably anticipated or adequate collateral exists (including a loan
impaired under SFAS No. 114). Interest received on nonaccrual loans is
either applied against principal or reported as interest income according
to management's judgment as to collectibility of principal. When interest
accruals are discontinued, interest credited to income is reversed and the
loan is classified as nonperforming.
30
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued
Unearned discount is amortized over the weighted average maturity of the
mortgage loan portfolio.
Loan origination and commitment fees and certain direct loan origination
costs are deferred, and the net amount is amortized as an adjustment of the
related loan's yield. The Bank is amortizing these amounts over the
contractual life of the loan.
Loans Held-for-Sale
Loans held-for-sale are carried at the aggregate of lower of cost or market
value.
For purchased loans, the discount remaining after the loan loss allocation
is being amortized over the remaining life of the purchased loans using the
interest method.
Allowance for Loan Losses
The Bank adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.
114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," and SFAS No. 118,
"Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan--Income Recognition and
Disclosures," effective January 1, 1995. Under SFAS No. 114, the allowance
for loan losses related to "impaired loans" is based on the discounted cash
flows using the impaired loans' initial effective interest rate as the
discount rate, or the fair value of the collateral for collateral-dependent
loans. A loan is impaired when it meets the criteria to be placed on
nonaccrual status. Loans which are evaluated for impairment pursuant to
SFAS No. 114 are assessed on a loan-by-loan basis and include only
commercial nonaccrual loans. Large groups of smaller, homogeneous loans,
such as credit cards, student loans, residential mortgages, and other
student loans, are evaluated collectively for impairment. The adoption of
these standards did not have any impact on the Bank's financial position or
results of operations.
The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level considered adequate
to provide for potential losses in the loan portfolio. The allowance is
increased by provisions charged to operating expenses and reduced by
charge-offs net of recoveries. Management's determination of the adequacy
of the allowance is based on continuous credit reviews of the loan
portfolio, consideration of the current economic conditions, review of
specific problem loans, and other relevant factors. This evaluation is
subjective as it requires material estimates, including the amounts and
timing of future cash flows expected to be received on impaired loans that
may be susceptible to significant change.
Bank Premises and Equipment
Bank premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated
depreciation. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the assets. Amortization of leasehold
improvements is computed over the shorter of the related lease term or the
useful life of the assets.
Income Taxes
The liability method is used in accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax
assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between
financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are
measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when
the differences are expected to reverse.
31
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued
Income (Loss) Per Share
During 1997, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 128, "Earnings
Per Share." SFAS No. 128 eliminates primary and fully diluted earnings per
share (EPS) and requires presentation of basic and diluted EPS in
conjunction with the disclosure of the methodology used in computing such
EPS. Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income
available to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares
outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS takes into account the potential
dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common
stock were exercised and converted into common stock. Prior period EPS
calculations have been restated to reflect the adoption of SFAS No. 128.
Off-Balance-Sheet Financial Instruments
In the ordinary course of business, the Bank has entered into off-balance
sheet financial instruments consisting of commitments to extend credit and
letters of credit. Such financial instruments are recorded in the financial
statements when they become payable.
Financial Instruments
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Bank in estimating
its fair value disclosures for financial instruments:
Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amounts reported in the balance
sheet for cash and cash equivalents approximate those assets' fair values.
Investment securities: Fair values for investment securities are based on
quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not
available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable
instruments.
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS
No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activity. SFAS
No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative
instruments, including certain derivative instruments imbedded in other
contracts, and for hedging activities. It requires that an entity recognize
all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of
financial position and measure those instruments at fair value. If certain
conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically designated as a hedge.
The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative (gains and
losses) depends on the intended use of the derivative and resulting
designation. SFAS No. 133 is effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal
years beginning after June 15, 1999. Earlier application is permitted only
as of the beginning of any fiscal quarter. The adoption of SFAS No. 133 is
not anticipated to have a material impact on the Bank's financial position
or results of operations.
Loans held-for-sale: Fair values are estimated using quoted rates based
upon secondary market sources for similar loans.
32
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued
Loans: The fair value of loans was estimated using a discounted cash flow
analysis, which considered estimated prepayments and amortizations.
Prepayments and discount rates were based on current marketplace estimates
and pricing. Residential mortgage loans were discounted at the current
effective yield, including fees, of conventional loans, adjusted for their
maturities with a spread to the Treasury yield curve.
Deposit liabilities: The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (e.g.
interest and noninterest checking, passbook savings, and certain types of
money market accounts) are equal to the amounts payable on demand at the
reporting date (e.g. their carrying amounts). The carrying amounts for
variable-rate, fixed-term money market accounts and certificates of deposit
approximate the fair values at the reporting date. Fair values for
fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash
flow calculation. The Treasury yield curve was utilized for discounting
cash flows as it approximates the average marketplace certificate of
deposit rates across the relevant maturity spectrum.
Commitments to extend credit: The carrying amounts for commitments to
extend credit approximate fair value as such commitments are not
substantially different from the fees currently charged to enter into
similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the
agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparts.
Foreclosed Real Estate
Real estate properties acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure
are to be sold and are initially recorded at fair value at the date of
foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis. After foreclosure, valuations
are periodically performed by management, and the real estate is carried at
the lower of carrying amount or fair value less the cost to sell. Revenue
and expenses from operations and changes in valuation allowance are charged
to operations. The historical average holding period for such properties is
24 months.
Management's Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements
and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
In 1998, the Bank adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information. SFAS No. 131 redefines how operating segments are determined
and requires disclosures of certain financial and descriptive information
about the Bank's operating segments. Management has determined the Bank
operates in one business segment, community banking.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1997 financial statements
to conform to the 1998 presentation.
33
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued
Comprehensive Income
In January 1998, the Bank adopted SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive
Income. This standard establishes new standards for reporting comprehensive
income which includes net income as well as certain other items which
result in a change to equity during the period. These financial statements
have been reclassified to reflect the provisions of SFAS No. 130.
The income tax effects allocated to comprehensive income is as follows:

Organizational Costs
The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants' Accounting
Standards Executive Committee issued Statement of Position (SOP)98-5,
Reporting on Costs of Start-up Activities. SOP 98-5 requires that costs of
start-up activities, as defined, including organizational costs, be
expensed as incurred. This statement is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1998. Upon adoption, the application of this
statement is reported as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting
principle.
34
2. CASH AND DUE FROM BANK BALANCES
The Bank maintains various deposit accounts of $726,000 with other banks to
meet normal funds transaction requirements and to compensate other banks
for certain correspondent services. The withdrawal or usage restrictions of
these balances did not have a significant impact on the operations of the
Bank as of December 31, 1998.
3. INVESTMENTS
The amortized cost, gross unrealized holding gains and losses, and
estimated market value of the available-for-sale and held-to-maturity

As of December 31, 1998 and 1997, the Bank had loans to certain officers
and directors and their affiliated interests in aggregate dollar amounts of
approximately $1,148,000 and $886,000, respectively. During 1998, new loans
to such related parties amounted to $467,500 and repayments amounted to
$276,127. Such transactions are made on substantially the same terms,
including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time
for other nonrelated party transactions.
Nonaccrual loans totaled approximately $1,720,000 and $1,179,000 as of
December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
At December 31, 1998 and 1997, unamortized deferred fees and costs totaled
$177,847 and $149,396, respectively.
Loans having a carrying value of $127,800 and $100,000 were transferred to
foreclosed real estate in 1998 and 1997, respectively.

At December 31, 1998 and 1997, the recorded investment in loans that were
on a nonaccrual basis and were considered to be impaired under SFAS No. 114
was $845,500 and $208,000, respectively. At December 31, 1998 and 1997, the
related allowance for loan losses was $183,000 and $0, respectively. At
December 31, 1998 and 1997, impaired loans of $208,000 are SBA guaranteed
and do not have an allowance for loan losses. The average recorded
investment in impaired loans during the years ended December 31, 1998 and
1997 was approximately $526,000 and $208,000, respectively. For the years
ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, the Bank recognized interest income on
those impaired loans of $36,800 and $0, respectively.
The Bank grants commercial, residential, and consumer loans to customers
primarily located in Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania and surrounding
counties in the Delaware Valley. Although the Bank has a diversified loan
portfolio, its debtors' ability to honor their contracts is influenced by
the region's economy. During 1998, approximately 33% of the Bank's
commercial loan portfolio was concentrated in loans made to religious

5. BANK PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT--Continued
The Bank leases various premises under noncancellable agreements which
expire through the year 2006 and require minimum annual rentals. The
minimum rental commitments under these leases are as follows:
1999 $ 301,830
2000 302,980

Thereafter 106,115
----------
$1,426,396
==========
In conjunction with the branch acquisitions from the Resolution Trust
Corporation, the Bank operated three branches under a five-year free-rent
agreement. In November 1996, the Bank closed two of these branches and
terminated the related leases. The Bank operated one branch under a
free-rent agreement for which the related lease expired on July 30, 1998.
Upon expiration, the Bank had the option to purchase the building at a
price equivalent to 93% of the appraised value. The Bank deferred the
decision to purchase the building and entered into a month-to-month lease
with the FDIC at a monthly rate of $1,875.
The total rental expense included in the statement of operations for the
years ended December 31, 1998, 1997, and 1996 was approximately $323,330,
$288,959 and $244,000, respectively.
6. LONG-TERM DEBT
The Bank has a loan from PIDC-Local Development Corporation (PIDC) which
financed the acquisition of furniture and fixtures. The loan bears interest
at 5% per annum. Principal and interest are paid in equal monthly payments
of $2,827. The loan is secured by furniture, fixtures, and equipment of the
Bank, and is further collateralized by the assignment of a $50,000
Certificate of Deposit with PNC Bank to PIDC. Scheduled repayment of the
loan is as follows:
1999 $ 11,191
==========
7. DEPOSITS
The aggregate amount of short-term jumbo certificates of deposit, each with
a minimum denomination of $100,000, was $13,942,008 and $13,852,356 at
December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

8. REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS
The Bank enters into sales of securities under agreements to repurchase
identical securities or reverse repurchase agreements. The amounts advanced
to the Bank under these agreements represent short-term loans and would be
reflected as a payable in the balance sheet. The securities underlying the
agreements are book-entry securities maintained at the Federal Reserve Bank
of Philadelphia. The average balance of reverse purchase agreements entered
into during 1998 was $1.5 million, and the maximum amount outstanding at
any month-end during 1998 was $1.5 million.
9. CAPITAL STOCK OFFERINGS
On September 30, 1998,the Company designated a sub-class of its Common
Stock as Class B. Pursuant to the terms of the amendment, holders of the
Class B Common Stock have all rights of Common Stockholders, with the
exception of voting rights. On October 9, 1998, the Company sold 83,333
shares of Class B Common Stock to one shareholder for a purchase price of
$12 per share.
In April 1997, the Bank began its fifth offering of a maximum 250,000
shares of common stock at a price of $12 per share ($0.01 par value). As of
December 31, 1997, the Bank had received $42,600 and had issued 3,550
shares of common stock from this offering. This offering was limited to
existing shareholders of record as of April 20, 1997. The offering
terminated on December 31, 1997.
In May 1996, the Bank began its fourth offering of a maximum 250,000 shares
of common stock at a price of $12 per share ($0.01 par value). As of
December 31, 1996, the Bank had received $83,012 and had issued 6,934
shares of common stock from this offering. This offering was limited to
existing shareholders of record as of April 20, 1996. The offering
terminated on December 31, 1996.
During 1996, the Bank received $55,536 and issued 6,942 shares as a result
of warrants exercised by shareholders to purchase common stock at a price
of $8.00 per share.
During 1997, the Bank received $34,110 and issued 3,790 shares as a result
of warrants exercised by shareholders to purchase common stock at a price
of $9.00 per share. As of December 31, 1997, 7,733 warrants remained
outstanding.

9. CAPITAL STOCK OFFERINGS--continued
During 1998, the Bank received $64,922 and issued 6,492 shares as a result
of warrants exercised by shareholders to purchase common stock at a price
of $10.00 per share. As of December 31, 1998, no warrants remain
outstanding.
In July 1998, the Company began a limited offering of its Series A
Preferred Stock (noncumulative, 6%, $0.01 par value) to FannieMae
Corporation. The nonvoting preferred stock was offered at a price of $20
per share, in an amount for which the aggregate purchase price does not
exceed the lesser of (1) 9.99% of the total equity of the Company or (2)
$880,000. During 1998, the Company received $796,980 and issued 39,849
shares of preferred stock from this offering.
Upon the declaration of a common dividend, each of the Series A preferred
shares will be accorded a non-cumulative dividend preference equal to 6% of
the purchase price of the stock per annum prior to the payment of any
dividend on account of any other class or series of the Company. No
dividends have been declared or paid.
10. INCOME TAXES
The Bank accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes."
At December 31, 1998, the Bank has net operating loss carryforwards of
approximately $2,656,446 for income tax purposes that begins to expire in
2007.
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences
between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial
reporting purposes and the amount used for income tax purposes. For
financial reporting purposes, a valuation allowance of $1,120,565 and
$1,094,889 as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, has been
recognized to offset the deferred tax assets related to the cumulative
temporary differences and the tax loss carryforwards. Significant
components of the Bank's deferred tax assets are as follows:
1998 1997
----------- -----------
Deferred tax assets:
Provision for loan losses 164,653 40,607
Unrealized gains on investment securities (18,435) (32,023)

11. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT COMMITMENTS
The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in
the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers.
These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and
letters of credit, which are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to
guarantee the performance of an obligation of a customer to a third party.
Both arrangements have credit risk essentially the same as that involved in
extending loans and are subject to the Bank's normal credit policies.
Collateral may be obtained based on management's assessment of the
customer. The Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance
by the other party to the financial instruments is represented by the
contractual amount of those instruments.
Summaries of the Bank's financial instrument commitments are as follows:
1998 1997
---------- ----------
Commitments to extend credit $7,269,229 $2,950,271
Outstanding letters of credit 259,000 105,000
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long
as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract and
unused credit card lines. Since many of the commitments are expected to
expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not
necessarily represent future cash requirements. Commitments generally have
fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment
of a fee.
12. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Fair value information about financial instruments is required to be
disclosed, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, where it is
practicable to estimate that value. In cases where quoted market prices are
not available, fair values are based on estimates using discounted cash
flows or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly
affected by assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of
future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot
be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases,
could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instrument.
42
12. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS--Continued
Certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments are exempt
from disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts
presented do not represent the underlying value of the Bank.

13. EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION
The Bank entered into a five-year employment agreement with its chief
executive officer covering such items as salaries, bonuses, and benefits.
The agreement expires in 2000 and provides for guaranteed minimum annual
compensation of $150,000 over the term of the contract. The contract,
entered into on September 13, 1993 and amended January 1, 1994, also
granted the chief executive officer the option to acquire up to 4% of the
Bank's stock as of December 31, 1993 at $8.54 per share, which was the book
value at the date of grant. The contract, as amended on January 1, 1997,
also provides for a minimum contribution of $58,200 per year to the chief
executive officer's retirement benefit. The Company made no stock-based
compensation awards to any employee during 1998 or 1997.
14. DEFERRED BRANCH ACQUISITION COST
The Bank incurred approximately $149,000 and $224,000 in 1994 and 1993,
respectively, in consulting and other costs directly related to these
branch acquisitions which have been deferred and are being amortized over
five years. Amortization totaled $ 78,700 for each of the years ended
December 31, 1998, 1997, and 1996.
43
15. RESOLUTION TRUST CORPORATION FEE
Pursuant to the acquisition of the Ukrainian branch in June 1994, the Bank
was granted an option to purchase residential real estate loans from the
Resolution Trust Corporation (RTC) equal to the amount of deposits acquired
in the branch acquisition. However, the Bank found the pricing methodology
used by the RTC to be unacceptable. The RTC then offered the Bank two
options: (1) to exercise its right to purchase the loans using the current
loan pricing or (2) to receive a fee equivalent to the accrued interest on
the balance of the offered loan portfolio for which the interest accrual
period began 45 days after the date of the branch acquisition and to waive
its right to purchase loans from the RTC. Under protest, the Bank agreed to
option (2) which required it to waive its right to purchase loans from the
RTC. Also under protest, the Bank accepted the accrued interest as
calculated by the RTC of approximately $303,000. The Bank disputed the
RTC's calculation of accrued interest. During 1996, as a result of
litigation, the Bank received a settlement for $90,000.

18. REGULATORY MATTERS
The Bank engages in the commercial banking business, with a particular
focus on serving Blacks, Hispanics and women, and is subject to substantial
competition from financial institutions in the Bank's service area. As a
bank holding company and a banking subsidiary, the Company and the Bank,
respectively, are subject to regulation by the Federal Reserve Board and
the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and are required to maintain capital
requirements established by those regulators. Prompt corrective actions may
be taken by those
45
18. REGULATORY MATTERS--Continued
regulators against banks that do not meet minimum capital requirements.
Prompt corrective actions range from restriction or prohibition of certain
activities to the appointment of a receiver or conservator of an
institution's net assets. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can
initiate certain mandatory--and possibly additional discretionary--actions
by regulators that if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on
the Bank's financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines that
involve quantitative measures of the Bank's assets, liabilities, and
certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting
practices, the Bank's 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 the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the
table below) of total Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to
risk-weighted assets (as defined). Management believes, as of December 31,
1998, that the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is
subject.
The most recent notification from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
(FDIC) categorized the Bank as "well capitalized" under the regulatory
framework for prompt and corrective action. To be categorized as "well
capitalized," the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1
risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the table below.
There are no conditions or events at December 31, 1998 that management
believes have changed the institution's category.
The Bank's actual capital amounts and ratios are as follows:

In May 1995, as a result of a regulatory examination completed in February
1995, the Bank entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with its primary
regulator with regard to, among other things, achievement of agreed-upon
capital levels, implementation of a viable earnings plan, and addressing
interest rate sensitivity risks through the development of systems for
monitoring the risks. Effective July 26, 1996, the Memorandum of
Understanding was terminated as a result of the Bank's full compliance with
its terms as determined in an examination completed as of March 31, 1996
and noted improvements in the Bank's policies and procedures, internal
controls, and capital position. Beginning in 1996, the Bank has operated
under a Supervisory Letter from its primary regulator. The Supervisory
Letter prevents the Bank and the Company from declaring or paying dividends
without the prior written approval of its regulators and prohibits the Bank
and Company from issuing long-term debt.
19. DEPOSIT INSURANCE ASSESSMENTS
Deposits of the Bank are insured by the FDIC. On September 30, 1996,
Congress passed a bill to recapitalize the Savings Insurance Fund (SAIF) of
the FDIC. As a result, commercial banks, like United Bank, which were
members of the Bank Insurance Fund (BIF), which owned SAIF-assessable
deposits, were required to pay on November 27, 1996, a one-time assessment
of 65.7 basis points of total SAIF-assessable deposits. Because the Bank
acquired deposits of failed savings and loan institutions from the RTC in
1993 and 1994, approximately $71 million of its deposits are considered
SAIF-assessable. As a result, the Bank had to pay a one-time SAIF Special
Assessment of approximately $485,000. The Bank filed an appeal of this
because management believes a significant portion of its deposits are
misclassified under the SAIF, as at the time of acquisition of branches
from the RTC it had over $30 million in deposits accumulated and insurable
under the BIF. Furthermore, since its acquisition of deposits, a
significant amount of acquired RTC savings and loan deposits have run off
and been replaced with commercial deposits. Currently, the law does not
make any provision for deposit runoff or for appeals on this basis. To
date, the Bank has been unsuccessful in its appeal efforts.
47
20. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In the ordinary course of business, the Bank has various outstanding
commitments and contingent liabilities that are not reflected in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements. In addition, the Bank is a
defendant in certain claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary
course of business. In the opinion of management, after consultation with
legal counsel, the ultimate disposition of these matters is not expected to
have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition of
the Company.
21. EARNINGS PER SHARE COMPUTATION

share were issued in December 1998 to replace options that expired in 1998. The
options have a five year term.
Directors of the Bank are compensated for each meeting attended in the amount of
three hundred dollars fifty ($350) per Board meeting attended and one hundred
fifty dollars ($150) for each committee meeting attended. Directors who are also
salaried officers of the Bank receive no remuneration for their services as

Dr. Emma C. Chappell, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the
Bank and Registrant since its formation, receives a minimum annual salary of
$150,000. A copy of the employment agreement entered into among Dr. Chappell,
the Bank and UBS is incorporated hereing by reference.
One hundred thousand shares of the Bank's Common Stock are subject to a Long
Term Incentive Compensation Plan (the "Plan") under which options to purchase
the Bank's Common Stock may be granted to key employees of a price not less than
the fair market value thereof at the date of the grant ("Options"), and Common
Stock may be awarded as Restricted Stock, subject for a period of time to
substantial risk of forfeiture and restrictions on disposition as determined by
the Compensation Committee as of the date of the grant ("Restricted Stock").
Pursuant to the Plan, options are granted in tandem with Stock Appreciation
Rights allowing the holder of an Option to surrender the Option and receive an
amount equal to the appreciation in market value of a fixed number of shares of
Common Stock from the date of the grant of the Option ("SARs"). SARs may be
payable in Common Stock or cash or a combination of both. The Plan also allows
the Compensation Committee to grant Performance Shares, which are contingent
rights to receive, when certain performance criteria have been attained, amounts
of Common Stock and cash determined by the Compensation Committee for such an
award. Such rights are subject to forfeiture or reduction if performance goals
specified are not met during the performance period. No such options, restricted
stock or SARs were granted for 1998 performance.
No deferred compensation, incentive compensation or any further
compensation pursuant to any plan has been paid by the Bank, or will be paid by
the Bank based on services rendered to the Bank to the date of this filing.
At its annual meeting held May 6, 1994, the shareholders of the Registrant
approved the establishment of an Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP"). The
ESOP has not been formally activated by the Registrant. No purchases have been
made pursuant to the ESOP.
