UNITED BANCORP, INC.
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

These interim financial statements are prepared without audit
and reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are
necessary to present fairly the financial position of United Bancorp,
Inc. ("Company") at June 30, 2002, and its results of operations and
cash flows for the periods presented. All such adjustments are normal
and recurring in nature. The accompanying condensed consolidated
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the
instructions of Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not purport to contain all
the necessary financial disclosures required by accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America that might otherwise
be necessary in the circumstances and should be read in conjunction
with the consolidated financial statements, and related notes thereto,
of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2001 included in its
annual report. Reference is made to the accounting policies of the
Company described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements
contained in its 2001 Annual Report to Shareholders. The Company has
consistently followed these policies in preparing this Form 10-Q.

PRINCIPLES OF CONDENSED CONSOLIDATION:
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, ("Banks") The Citizens
Savings Bank, Martins Ferry, Ohio ("CITIZENS") and The Community Bank,
Lancaster, Ohio ("COMMUNITY"). All significant intercompany
transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

NATURE OF OPERATIONS:
The Company's revenues, operating income and assets are
primarily from the banking industry. Accordingly, all of the Company's
banking operations are considered by Management to be aggregated in one
reportable operating segment. Customers are mainly located in Athens,
Belmont, Carroll, Fairfield, Harrison, Hocking, Jefferson, and
Tuscarawas Counties and the surrounding localities in northeastern,
eastern, southeastern, and central Ohio and include a wide range of
individuals, businesses and other organizations. CITIZENS conducts its
business through its main office in Martins Ferry, Ohio and nine
branches in Bridgeport, Colerain, Dellroy, Dover, Jewett, New
Philadelphia, St. Clairsville, Sherrodsville, and Strasburg, Ohio.
COMMUNITY conducts its business through its main office in Lancaster
and four branches in Amesville, Glouster, Lancaster, and Nelsonville,
Ohio. The Company's primary deposit products are checking, savings, and
term certificates of deposit, and its primary lending products are
residential mortgage, commercial, and installment loans. Substantially
all loans are secured by specific items of collateral including
business assets, consumer assets, and real estate. Commercial loans are
expected to be repaid from cash flows from operations of businesses.
Real estate loans are secured by both residential and commercial real
estate. Other financial instruments which potentially represent
concentrations of credit risk include deposit accounts in other
financial institutions.

USE OF ESTIMATES:
To prepare financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America,
management makes estimates and assumptions based

UNITED BANCORP, INC.
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the
amounts reported in the financial statements and the disclosures
provided and future results could differ. The allowance for loan
losses, fair values of financial instruments and status of
contingencies are particularly subject to change.

INCOME TAXES:
Income tax expense is based on the effective tax rate expected
to be applicable for the entire year. Income tax expense is the total
of the current year income tax due or refundable and the change in
deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are the expected future tax amounts of temporary
differences between the carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and
liabilities computed using enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance, if
needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be
realized.

EARNINGS AND DIVIDENDS PER COMMON SHARE:
Basic earnings per common share ("EPS") is net income divided
by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted EPS includes the dilutive effect of additional potential common
shares issuable under stock options. Earnings and dividends per share
are restated for all stock dividends through the date of issuance of
the financial statements.

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME:
Comprehensive income consists of net income and other
comprehensive income. Other comprehensive income includes unrealized
gains and losses on securities available for sale which is also
recognized as a separate component of equity. Other comprehensive
income components net of related taxes are as follows:

4. COMMITMENTS, OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK AND CONTINGENCIES

There are various contingent liabilities not reflected within
the financial statements, including 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 effect on the Company's
financial condition or results of operations.

Some financial instruments, such as loan commitments, credit
lines, letters of credit, and overdraft protection, are issued to meet
customer financing needs. These are agreements to provide credit or to
support the credit of others, as long as conditions established in the
contracts are met, and usually have expiration dates. Commitments may
expire without being used. Off-balance sheet risk to credit loss exists
up to the face amount of these instruments, although material losses
are not anticipated. The same credit policies are used to make such
commitments as are used for loans, including obtaining collateral at
exercise of the commitment.

At June 30, 2002, and included above, commitments to make
fixed-rate loans totaled $2,535,995 with the interest rates on those
fixed-rate commitments ranging from 4.75% to 9.75%. At December 31,
2001, commitments to make fixed rate loans totaled $2,416,731 with
interest rates on those fixed-rate commitments ranging from 6.50% to
10.00%.

5. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Standards ("SFAS") No. 142,
"Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", which addresses the accounting
for such assets arising from prior and future business combinations.
Upon adoption of this Statement, goodwill arising from business
combinations will no longer be amortized, but rather be assessed
regularly for impairment, with any such impairment recognized as a
reduction to earnings in the period identified. The Company adopted
this Statement on January 1, 2002. The adoption of this Statement did
not impact the Company's financial statements, as it has no goodwill.

The FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 143, which addresses the accounting for asset retirement
obligations. The Company does not believe this standard will have a
material affect on its financial position or results of operations.

On January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 144, which
addresses impairment and disposal of long-lived assets. The effect of
this standard on the financial position and results of operations of
the Company is not material.

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

EARNING ASSETS - LOANS
At June 30, 2002, gross loans were $183,401,000 compared to
$183,340,000 at year-end 2001, a modest increase of $61,000. The relatively
static balance in total outstanding loans was the result of a decline in the
real estate and installment portfolios offset from growth in the commercial and
commercial real estate portfolios. Management attributes the overall static loan
balance to the general economic slow-down in the lending markets served.

Installment loans decreased to 23.9% of total loans at June 30, 2002
compared to 24.9% at year-end 2001. The indirect lending type of financing
carries somewhat more risk than real estate lending, however, it also provides
for higher yields. The targeted lending areas encompass four metropolitan areas,
minimizing the risk to changes in economic conditions in the communities housing
the Company's 17 branch locations. CITIZENS experienced a 1.7%, or $463,000
decline in installment loans while COMMUNITY had a decrease of 7.8%, or
$1,474,000 in installment loans. In general as the overall economy has slowed in
the markets we service, so has the demand for consumer based loans. Also with
interest rates depressed, Management has not been aggressive to lower rates on
these fixed rate loan products. Additionally, competition for installment loans
continues to be strong from captive finance companies offering low to zero
percent financing for extended periods. Recently, Management has employed the
strategy of focusing on adjustable rate products to position the Company for an
eventual rise in interest rates.

Commercial and commercial real estate loans comprised 47.5% of total
loans at June 30, 2002 compared to 45.5% at December 31, 2001. Commercial and
commercial real estate loans have increased $3,650,000 or 4.4% since December
31, 2001. The Company has originated and purchased participations in loans from
other banks for out-of-area commercial and commercial real estate loans to
benefit from consistent economic growth outside the Company's primary market
area. The majority of these loans are secured by real estate holdings comprised
of hotels, motels and churches located in various geographic locations,
including Columbus and the Akron-Canton, Ohio metropolitan areas.

Real estate loans were 28.6% of total loans at June 30, 2002 compared
to 29.5% at year-end 2001. Real estate loans decreased 3.1% since December 31,
2001. However, COMMUNITY actually experienced an increase in real estate loans
of 1.5% or $305,000. As previously mentioned, Management's position is to focus
on adjustable rate products as the overall rate environment reaches historical
low levels with the intent these products will adjust as interest rates rise.

The allowance for loan losses represents the amount which management
and the Board of Directors estimates is adequate to provide for probable losses
inherent in the loan portfolio. The allowance balance and the provision charged
to expense are reviewed by management and the Board of Directors monthly using a
risk evaluation model that considers borrowers' past due experience, economic
conditions and various other circumstances that are subject to change over time.
Management believes the current balance of the allowance for loan losses is
adequate to absorb probable incurred credit losses associated with the loan
portfolio. Net charge-offs for the six months ended June 30, 2002 were
approximately $201,947, or 7.0%, of the beginning balance in the allowance for
loan losses. Net charge-offs for the prior year six-month period were $343,862,
or 12.3% of the beginning balance in the

16

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

allowance for loan losses. Loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing
interest and nonaccrual loans have increased moderately since December 31, 2001.
Despite reducing the provision for loan losses from the prior year, the
allowance as a percentage of loans has increased slightly due to the modest loan
growth and decline in net charge-offs.

EARNING ASSETS - SECURITIES AND FEDERAL FUNDS SOLD
The securities portfolio is comprised of U.S. Government agency-backed
securities, tax-exempt obligations of states and political subdivisions and
certain other investments. The Company does not hold any collateralized
mortgage-backed securities, other than those issued by U.S. government agencies,
or derivative securities. The quality rating of obligations of state and
political subdivisions within Ohio is no less than Aaa, Aa or A, with all
out-of-state bonds rated at AAA. Board policy permits the purchase of certain
non-rated bonds of local schools, townships and municipalities, based on their
estimated levels of credit risk. Securities available for sale at June 30, 2002
decreased approximately $5,799,000, or 5.1% from year-end 2001 totals.
Securities held to maturity at June 30, 2002 increased approximately $1,649,000,
or 15.9% compared to year-end 2001 totals.

In June 2002, the Company instituted a Bank Owned Life Insurance
Program (BOLI) and invested approximately $5.2 million in the program. This
program was funded through excess liquidity and does contain some tax advantages
for the company along with a moderate level of return. The monies have been paid
and split between four insurance companies to provide for diversification as of
June 30, 2002. The insurance will provide a death benefit to directors and to
employees of the Company both while employed and into retirement. The program is
currently being underwritten and if approved by the insurance underwriters, will
be further detailed in the third quarter 2002.

SOURCES OF FUNDS -- DEPOSITS
The Company's primary source of funds is core deposits from retail and
business customers. These core deposits include all categories of
interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing deposits, excluding certificates of
deposit greater than $100,000. For the period ended June 30, 2002, total core
deposits increased approximately $1,215,000 due to an increase in
noninterest-bearing demand and savings deposits partially offset by a decline in
certificates of deposit.

The Company has a strong deposit base from public agencies, including
local school districts, city and township municipalities, public works
facilities and others that may tend to be more seasonal in nature resulting from
the receipt and disbursement of state and federal grants. These entities have
maintained fairly static balances with the Company due to various funding and
disbursement timeframes.

Certificates of deposit greater than $100,000 are not considered part
of core deposits and as such are used to balance rate sensitivity as a tool of
funds management. At June 30, 2002, certificates of deposit greater than
$100,000 increased approximately $3.9 million, or 10.2% from year-end 2001
totals. The majority of this increase is due to some large deposits from
municipalities.

SOURCES OF FUNDS - SECURITIES SOLD UNDER AGREEMENTS TO REPURCHASE AND
OTHER BORROWINGS
Other interest-bearing liabilities include securities sold under
agreements to repurchase, sweep accounts, federal funds purchased, Treasury, Tax
& Loan notes payable and Federal Home Loan Bank

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


("FHLB") advances. In the first six months of 2002, the Company continued to
utilize the FHLB programs to manage interest rate risk and liquidity positions.
The majority of the Company's repurchase agreements are with local school
districts and city and county governments. Total other borrowings decreased
approximately $9.5 million, or 51.5% from year-end 2001 totals. This was due to
the large amount of called securities experienced and the increases in deposits.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002 AND 2001

NET INCOME
Basic and diluted earnings per share for the six months ended June 30,
2002 was $0.48, compared with $0.43 for the six months ended March 31, 2001. Net
income increased 10.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2002, compared to the
same period in 2001.

NET INTEREST INCOME
Net interest income, by definition, is the difference between interest
income generated on interest-earning assets and the interest expense incurred on
interest-bearing liabilities. Various factors contribute to changes in net
interest income, including volumes, interest rates and the composition or mix of
interest-earning assets in relation to interest-bearing liabilities. Net
interest income increased 6.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared
to the same period in 2001. The increase was a result of the Company having a
slightly larger base of average earning assets coupled with a higher net
interest margin mainly due to lower depository costs.

Total interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was
$11,179,000 compared to $12,525,000 for the same period in 2001. Total interest
income decreased $1,346,000, or 10.7%. The decrease can be attributed to the
overall lower interest rate environment that currently exists.

Total interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2002 when
compared to the same six-month period ended June 30, 2001, decreased 26.6%, or
$1,736,000. The Company has experienced a decrease in interest expense due the
effect of a lower interest rate environment on deposit products over the past
year. Management has been proactive in lowering deposit product interest rates
since the overall interest rate environment began to decrease in January of
2001.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
The total provision for loan losses was $315,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 2002 compared to $390,000 for the same period in 2001. Management
decreased the provision in 2002 due to a decrease in net charge-offs for the
fiscal year. Additionally, the loan portfolio balance remained almost unchanged
since December 31, 2001.

NONINTEREST INCOME
Total noninterest income is made up of bank related fees and service
charges, as well as other income producing services provided, sale of secondary
market loans, ATM income, early redemption penalties for certificates of
deposit, safe deposit rental income, internet bank service fees and other
miscellaneous items. Noninterest income for the six months ended June 30, 2002
was $887,000 compared


18


UNITED BANCORP, INC.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


to $753,000 for the same six months period ended June 30, 2001. For the six
months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the same period in 2001, noninterest
income increased approximately 17.8%. The Company's secondary market real estate
loan program increased $36,000 over the same period in 2001. In addition, the
Company's security portfolio generated approximately $113,500 in security gains
for the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to $34,400 for the same period
in 2001. Management made the decision to sell these securities based on the
likelihood of the securities being called. These securities had coupons that
were higher than the current market rates and so made it advantageous to sell
the securities before they were called away.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE
Noninterest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2002 increased
$267,000, or 5.7% over the six months ended June 30, 2001. Salary and benefit
expense, which made up the majority of the increase, increased approximately
$185,000, or 7.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2002 mainly due to rising
health care costs.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002

NET INCOME
Basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended June
30, 2002 was $0.26, compared with $0.24 for the three months ended March 31,
2001 an increase of 8.3%. Net income increased 9.2% for the six months ended
June 30, 2002, compared to the same period in 2001.

NET INTEREST INCOME
Net interest income, by definition, is the difference between interest
income generated on interest-earning assets and the interest expense incurred on
interest-bearing liabilities. Various factors contribute to changes in net
interest income, including volumes, interest rates and the composition or mix of
interest-earning assets in relation to interest-bearing liabilities. Net
interest income increased 3.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2002 compared
to the same period in 2001. The increase was a result of the Company having a
slightly larger base of average earning assets coupled with a higher net
interest margin mainly due to lower depository costs.

Total interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2002 was
$5,546,000 compared to $6,321,000 for the same period in 2001. Total interest
income decreased $775,000, or 12.3%. The decrease can be attributed to the
overall lower interest rate environment that currently exists. Also, as a result
of the prolonged decrease in interest rates, the Company's investment portfolio
will be subject to increased volatility due to the nature of the call features
in the agency portfolio. Over the past quarter the Company has experienced a
higher than expected level of called securities in the investment portfolio.

Total interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2002 when
compared to the same three-month period ended June 30, 2001, decreased 27.3%, or
$874,000. The Company has experienced a decrease in interest expense due to the
effect of a lower interest rate environment on deposit products over the past
year. Management has been proactive in lowering deposit product interest rates
since the overall interest rate environment began to decrease in January of
2001. Also the mix of deposits has shifted slightly from the traditionally
higher costing certificates of deposit to lower cost deposits such as demand and
savings accounts from 2001 to 2002.

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
The total provision for loan losses was $157,500 for the three months
ended June 30, 2002 compared to $195,000 for the same period in 2001. Management
decreased the provision in 2002 due to a decrease in net charge-offs for the
fiscal year. Additionally, the loan portfolio balance remained almost unchanged
since December 31, 2001.

NONINTEREST INCOME
Total noninterest income is made up of bank related fees and service
charges, as well as other income producing services provided, sale of secondary
market loans, ATM income, early redemption penalties for certificates of
deposits, safe deposit rental income, internet bank service fees and other
miscellaneous items. Noninterest income for the three months ended June 30, 2002
was $442,000 compared to $385,000 for the same three month period ended June 30,
2001. For the three months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the same period in
2001, noninterest income increased approximately 14.8%. The Company's secondary
market real estate loan program increased $47,000 over the same period in 2001.
In addition, the Company's security portfolio generated approximately $67,000 in
security gains for the three months ended June 30, 2002 compared to $24,000 for
the same period in 2001.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE
Noninterest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2002 decreased
a modest $8,000 over the three months ended June 30, 2001. Overall, the Company
experienced lower costs for the second quarter of 2002 compared to 2001.
Although health care cost continues to increase for the Company, cost
containment in other expense categories offset the increase in health care
costs.

CAPITAL RESOURCES
Internal capital growth, through the retention of earnings, is the
primary means of maintaining capital adequacy for the Company. Shareholders'
equity at June 30, 2002 was $31,067,000 compared to $30,474,000 at December 31,
2001, a 1.9% increase. Total shareholders' equity in relation to total assets
was 9.21% at June 30, 2002 and 8.93% at December 31, 2001. In May 2001 our
shareholders approved an amendment to the Company's Articles of Incorporation to
create a class of preferred shares with 2,000,000 authorized shares. This will
enable the Company, at the option of the Board of Directors, to issue a series
of preferred shares in a manner calculated to take advantage of financing
techniques which may provide a lower effective cost of capital to the Company.
The amendment also provides greater flexibility to the Board of Directors in
structuring the terms of equity securities that may be issued by the Company.

The Company has a Dividend Reinvestment Plan ("The Plan") for
shareholders under which the Company's common stock will be purchased by the
Plan for participants with automatically reinvested dividends. The Plan does not
represent a change in the Company's dividend policy or a guarantee of future
dividends.

The Company maintains a deferred compensation plan for its Directors.
The plan permits the Directors to defer into a Rabbi Trust all or a portion of
their director fees. The plan is being accounted for under the provisions of
EITF 97-14.

The Company and Banks are subject to regulatory capital requirements
administered by federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and prompt
corrective action regulations involve quantitative measures of assets,
liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items calculated under regulatory
accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to
qualitative judgments by regulators about components, risk weightings and other
factors and the regulators can lower classifications in certain cases. Failure
to meet various capital requirements can initiate regulatory action that could
have a direct material effect on the Banks' operations.

The prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications,
including well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized,
significantly undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized, although these
terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If adequately
capitalized, regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits. If
undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is asset growth and
expansion and plans for capital restoration are required.

The minimum requirements are:




TOTAL TIER 1 TIER 1

Well capitalized 10.00% 6.00% 5.00%
Adequately capitalized 8.00% 4.00% 4.00%

LIQUIDITY
Management's objective in managing liquidity is maintaining the ability
to continue meeting the cash flow needs of its customers, such as borrowings or
deposit withdrawals, as well as its own financial commitments. The principal
sources of liquidity are net income, loan payments, maturing securities and
sales of securities available for sale, federal funds sold and cash and deposits
with banks. Along with its

21

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


liquid assets, the Company has additional sources of liquidity available to
ensure that adequate funds are available as needed. These include, but are not
limited to, the purchase of federal funds, the ability to borrow funds under
line of credit agreements with correspondent banks and a borrowing agreement
with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati, Ohio and the adjustment of
interest rates to obtain depositors. Management feels that it has the capital
adequacy, profitability and reputation to meet the current and projected needs
of its customers.

For the six months ended June 30, 2002, the adjustments to reconcile
net income to net cash from operating activities consisted mainly of
depreciation and amortization of premises and equipment and intangibles, the
provision for loan losses, net amortization of securities and net changes in
other assets and liabilities. Cash and cash equivalents decreased as a result of
the purchasing of government agency securities and bank owned life insurance
policies. For a more detailed illustration of sources and uses of cash, refer to
the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

INFLATION
Substantially all of the Company's assets and liabilities relate to
banking activities and are monetary in nature. The consolidated financial
statements and related financial data are presented in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP). GAAP
currently requires the Company to measure the financial position and results of
operations in terms of historical dollars, with the exception of securities
available for sale, impaired loans and other real estate loans that are measured
at fair value. Changes in the value of money due to rising inflation can cause
purchasing power loss.

Management's opinion is that movements in interest rates affect the
financial condition and results of operations to a greater degree than changes
in the rate of inflation. It should be noted that interest rates and inflation
do effect each other, but do not always move in correlation with each other. The
Company's ability to match the interest sensitivity of its financial assets to
the interest sensitivity of its liabilities in its asset/liability management
may tend to minimize the effect of changes in interest rates on the Company's
performance.

REGULATORY MATTERS
The Company is subject to the regulatory requirements of The Federal
Reserve System as a multi-bank holding company. The affiliate banks are subject
to regulations of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and the State
of Ohio, Division of Financial Institutions.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK


ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The principal market risk affecting the Company is interest rate risk.
The Banks do not maintain a trading account for any class of financial
instrument and the Company is not affected by foreign currency exchange rate
risk or commodity price risk. Because the Banks do not hold any equity
securities other than stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati, which
is not significant, the Company is not subject to equity price risk.

The Company, like other financial institutions, is subject to interest
rate risk to the extent that its interest-earning assets reprice differently
than its interest-bearing liabilities. One of the principal financial objectives
is to achieve long-term profitability while reducing its exposure to
fluctuations in interest rates. The Company has sought to reduce exposure of its
earnings to changes in market interest rates by managing assets and liability
maturities and interest rates primarily by originating variable-rate lending
products, or if issued with a fixed interest rate, as is the case with the
indirect automobile portfolio, the term is rather short in duration. Both the
variable interest rates inherent in the commercial, commercial real estate and
real estate loan portfolios, and the short duration loan products, mitigate the
Company's exposure to dramatic interest rate movements.

The Company's securities are all fixed rate and are weighted more
heavily towards available for sale which accounts for 90% of the portfolio
compared to the 10% for held to maturity securities. The Company primarily
invests in US Agency obligations and State and Municipal obligations and has a
modest amount invested in mortgage-backed securities. Due to total securities
approximating 36% of total assets and a significant portion of its loan
portfolio consisting of fixed rate loans, the Company is particularly sensitive
to periods of rising interest rates. In such periods, the Company's net interest
spread is negatively affected because the interest rate paid on deposits
increases faster than the rates earned on loans. Management is continuing to
originate variable rate loans as the primary means to manage this risk.

Management measures the Company's interest rate risk by computing
estimated changes in net interest income and the net portfolio value ("NPV") of
its cash flows from assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet items in the event
of a range of assumed changes in market interest rates. The following tables
present an analysis of the potential sensitivity of the Company's net present
value of its financial instruments to sudden and sustained changes in the
prevailing interest rates.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK


ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK (CONTINUED)

The Company's NPV is equally as sensitive to decreasing rates and
increasing rates. This similarity in sensitivity occurs principally because the
commercial, commercial real estate and real estate portfolios are comprised of
variable rate products and so would reprice within a short time frame and the
interest that the company pays on deposits would react similarly as deposits
generally have shorter periods to reprice. The certificate of deposit product is
fixed but the interest expense associated with certificates would be somewhat
offset by the fixed nature of our consumer loans and investment securities.

Certain shortcomings are inherent in the NPV method of analysis.
Certain assets such as adjustable-rate loans have features that restrict changes
in interest rates on a short-term basis and over the life of the asset. In
addition, the proportion of adjustable-rate loans in the Company's portfolio
could decrease in future periods if market interest rates remain at or decrease
below current levels due to refinancing activity. Further, in the event of a
change in interest rates, prepayment and early withdrawal levels would likely
deviate from those assumed in the analysis. Finally, the ability of many
borrowers to repay their adjustable-rate debt may decrease in the case of an
increase in interest rates.
