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 September 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.

4. COMMITMENTS, OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED)

A summary of the notional or contractual amounts of financial
instruments with off-balance sheet risk at September 30, 2002 and
December 31, 2001 follows:



SEPTEMBER 30, DECEMBER 31,

Commitments to extend credit $22,852,406 $18,779,162
Credit card and ready reserve lines 1,440,066 1,275,919
Standby letters of credit 490,200 471,000


At September 30, 2002, and included above, commitments to make
fixed-rate loans totaled $2,222,452 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 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.

In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of
FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendments of FASB Statement No. 13,
and Technical Corrections". This Statement eliminates inconsistency
between the required accounting for certain lease modifications that
have economic effects similar to sale-leaseback transactions. The
Company does not believe this statement will have a material effect on
its financial position or results of operations.

In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for
Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities". This Statement
addresses the timing of recognition of a liability for exit and
disposal cost at the time a liability is incurred, rather than at a
plan commitment date, as


12

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


previously required. Exit or disposal costs will be measured at fair
value, and the recorded liability will be subsequently adjusted for
changes in estimated cash flows. This statement is required to be
effective for exit or disposal activities entered after December 31,
2002, and early adoption is encouraged. The Company does not believe
this statement will have a material effect on its financial position or
results of operations.

SFAS No. 147, "Acquisition of Certain Financial Institutions"
became effective October 1, 2002. This standard requires any
unidentifiable intangible asset previously recorded as the result of a
business combination to be reclassified as goodwill and the
amortization of this asset will cease. The effect of this standard on
the financial position and results of operations of the Company was not
material.

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


ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

EARNING ASSETS - LOANS
At September 30, 2002, gross loans were $184,906,000 compared
to $183,340,000 at year-end 2001, an increase of $1,566,000. The
relatively small growth in total outstanding loans was the result of a
decline in the real estate, installment portfolios and commercial loans
offset from growth in the commercial real estate portfolios. Management
attributes the overall static loan balance to the general economic
slow-down in the lending markets served and to competitive pricing in
the markets served.

Installment loans were 24.5% of total loans at September 30,
2002 compared to 24.9% at year-end 2001. The installment 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 2.7%, or $728,000 increase in
installment loans while COMMUNITY experienced a decrease of 6.4%, or
$1,210,000 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. Management has employed the strategy of focusing
on adjustable rate commercial loan products to position the Company for
an eventual rise in interest rates.

Commercial and commercial real estate loans comprised 46.6% of
total loans at September 30, 2002 compared to 45.5% at December 31,
2001. Commercial and commercial real estate loans have increased
$2,790,000 or 3.3% 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 28.9% of total loans at September 30,
2002 compared to 29.5% at year-end 2001. Real estate loans decreased
1.4% since December 31, 2001. However, COMMUNITY experienced an
increase in real estate loans of 8.7% or $1,759,000. Management's
position is to focus on adjustable rate products as the overall rate
environment reaches historically 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 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 nine months ended September 30, 2002
were


16





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


approximately $298,000, or 10.4%, of the beginning balance in the
allowance for loan losses. Net charge-offs for the prior year
nine-month period were approximately $591,000, or 21.2%, of the
beginning balance in the allowance for loan losses. Loans past due 90
days or more and still accruing interest and nonaccrual loans have
increased since December 31, 2001. The majority of these loans are
residential mortgages and commercial real estate loans. Management does
not expect to experience material losses with these loans. Subsequent
to the September 30, 2002 reporting date approximately $270,000 of
loans past due 90 days or more has been paid off and an additional
$277,000 in nonaccrual loan property has been repossessed. 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
September 30, 2002 increased approximately $1,321,000, or 1.2% from
year-end 2001 totals. Securities held to maturity at September 30, 2002
increased approximately $1,655,000, or 16.0% compared to year-end 2001
totals.

In June 2002, the Company instituted a Bank Owned Life
Insurance Program (BOLI) and invested approximately $6.6 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 allocated between several
insurance companies to provide for diversification as of September 30,
2002. The insurance will provide a death benefit to directors and to
employees of the Company and to the two subsidiary banks.

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 September 30, 2002, total core deposits increased approximately
$5,146,590 due to an increase in interest-bearing demand and savings
deposits 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 September 30, 2002,
certificates of deposit greater than $100,000 increased approximately
$2.0 million, or 5.2% from year-end 2001 totals. The majority of this
increase is due to some large deposits from municipalities.



17



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



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 ("FHLB") advances. In the first nine 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 $2.8
million, or 15.0% from year-end 2001 totals. This was due to the heavy
volume of called securities experienced during 2002 and the increases
in deposits.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 AND 2001

NET INCOME
Basic earnings per share for the nine months ended September
30, 2002 was $0.72, compared with $0.64 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2001 or a 12.5% increase. Diluted earnings per share for
the nine months ended September 30, 2002 was $0.71, compared with $0.64
for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 or a 10.9% increase.

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
3.9% for the nine months ended September 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 nine months ended September 30,
2002 was $16,561,000 compared to $18,727,000 for the same period in
2001. Total interest income decreased $2,166,000, or 11.6%. The
decrease can be attributed to the overall lower interest rate
environment experienced to date in 2002.

Total interest expense for the nine months ended September 30,
2002 when compared to the same nine-month period ended September 30,
2001, decreased 26.3%, or $2,529,000. 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 $472,500 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2002 compared to $585,000 for the same
period in 2001. Management decreased the provision in 2002 due to a
decrease in net charge-offs for the fiscal year. 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.



18


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


Loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest and
nonaccrual loans have increased since December 31, 2001. The majority
of these loans are residential mortgages and commercial real estate
loans. Management does not expect to experience material losses with
these loans. Subsequent to the September 30, 2002 reporting date,
approximately $270,000 of loans past due 90 days or more has been paid
off and an additional $277,000 in nonaccrual loan property has been
repossessed.

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
nine months ended September 30, 2002 was $1,358,000 compared to
$1,148,000 for the same nine months period ended September 30, 2001.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared to the same
period in 2001, noninterest income increased approximately 18.3%. The
Company's two affiliates invested in Bank Owned Life Insurance on June
30, 2002. To date, the Company has recognized $88,000 of income related
to this product. Fee income from the Company's secondary market real
estate loan program increased $41,000 over the same period in 2001. In
addition, the Company's security portfolio generated approximately
$123,000 in security gains for the nine months ended September 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 during the falling rate
environment.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE
Noninterest expense for the nine months ended September 30,
2002 increased $368,000, or 5.2% over the nine months ended September
30, 2001. Salary and health care expense, which made up the majority of
the increase, increased approximately $277,000, or 7.9% for the nine
months ended September 30, 2002 mainly due to rising health care costs.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2002

NET INCOME
Basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months
ended September 30, 2002 was $0.24, compared with $0.22 for the three
months ended September 30, 2001 or a 9.1% increase.

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 decreased
.98% for the three months ended September 30, 2002 compared to the same
period in 2001. The decrease was a result of the Company's higher
yielding securities being sold or called and replaced with lower
yielding securities. This was somewhat offset by the Company having a
larger average earning asset base than the prior year.


19



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



Total interest income for the three months ended September 30,
2002 was $5,382,000 compared to $6,203,000 for the same period in 2001.
Total interest income decreased $821,000, or 13.2%. 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 September
30, 2002 when compared to the same three-month period ended September
30, 2001, decreased 25.7%, or $794,000. 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.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
The total provision for loan losses was $157,500 for the three
months ended September 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. 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. Loans past due 90 days or more
and still accruing interest and nonaccrual loans have increased. The
majority of these loans are residential mortgages and commercial real
estate loans. Management does not expect to experience material losses
with these loans. Subsequent to the September 30, 2002 reporting date
approximately $270,000 of loans past due 90 days or more has been paid
off and an additional $277,000 in nonaccrual loan property has been
repossessed.

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 September 30, 2002 was $471,000 compared to $395,000
for the same three month period ended September 30, 2001. For the three
months ended September 30, 2002 compared to the same period in 2001,
noninterest income increased approximately 19.2%. The Company's Bank
Owned Life Insurance generated approximately $88,000 in income for the
three months ended September 30, 2002.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE
Noninterest expense for the three months ended September 30,
2002 increased a modest $101,000, or 4.3%, over the three months ended
September 30, 2001. The majority of this increase was health care
costs, which continue to increase for the Company.

CAPITAL RESOURCES
Internal capital growth, through the retention of earnings, is
the primary means of maintaining capital adequacy for the Company.
Shareholders' equity at September 30, 2002 was $31,851,000 compared to
$30,474,000 at December 31, 2001, a 4.5% increase. Total shareholders'
equity in relation to



20


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


total assets was 9.2% at September 30, 2002 and 8.9% 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:

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 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 nine months ended September 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 accounting principles generally accepted
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


22

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


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
(UNAUDITED)

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 91% of the portfolio
compared to the 9% 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 and collateral-backed securities. Due
to total securities approximating 37% 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.

UNITED BANCORP, INC.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
(UNAUDITED)



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

The Company's NPV is more sensitive to decreasing rates than increasing
rates. Such difference in sensitivity occurs principally because, as rates
decrease, the effect is offset on a short-term basis by the rather fixed nature
of our consumer loans and investment securities. This occurs even though the
commercial, commercial real estate and real estate portfolios are comprised of
variable rate products. Also in a decreasing rate environment the Company's
callable securities would continue to be called away. Moreover, the interest the
Company pays on its deposits would decrease at a slower pace as interest rate
floors are established.

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.
