PART I
ITEM 1 BUSINESS
United Bancshares, Inc.
United Bancshares, Inc. ("Registrant" or "UBS") is a bank holding company
formed under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. It was
incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania on April 8,
1993. UBS became a bank holding company on October 14, 1994 when its
wholly-owned subsidiary, New Bank, a Pennsylvania state-chartered interim bank,
formed for the purposes of establishing a holding company relationship with
United Bank of Philadelphia, was merged (the "Merger") with and into United Bank
of Philadelphia (also referred to as the "Bank"). The Merger was accomplished
because, in April 1993, the shareholders of the Bank voted in favor of the
formation of a bank holding company, United Bancshares, Inc. UBS issued its
common shares in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding shares of the
Bank such that all of the holders of common shares of the Bank became the only
holders of common shares of UBS. 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 15, 1997, UBS and the Bank had a total of 65 employees.

United Bank of Philadelphia
The Bank, a Black-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.
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, 1996, the Bank had
total deposits aggregating approximately $88.8 million and had total net loans
outstanding of approximately $69.1 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 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, 1997 the Bank's maximum legal lending limit was approximately
$1,013,800 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 have, on several occasions, chosen to
waive its internal lending limit for particular loans. However, the Bank
maintains no credit that exceeds its legal lending limit.
3
The Bank offers a broad range of lending services including commercial and
retail products. In the area of commercial loans, the Bank extends short-term
loans for seasonal or working capital purposes, term loans for fixed asset and
expansion purposes, revolving credit plans and other commercial loans to fit the
needs of its customers. The Bank participates in the government-sponsored Small
Business Administration ("SBA") lending program and when appropriate obtains SBA
guarantees for up to 90% of the loan amount -- thus minimizing the Bank's
exposure to loss. Commercial loans are typically made of the basis of cash flow
to support repayment with secondary reliance placed on the underlying
collateral.
On the retail end, the Bank has a consumer loan program (including
installment loans for home improvement and the purchase of consumer goods and
automobiles), student loans, home equity and VISA secured revolving lines of
credit, and overdraft checking. 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
guarantees.
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 Bank's strategy in providing its services is to attempt to respond to
each customer's needs. To this end, customer service is stressed as an element
of key importance. Registrant believes that, through the provision of quality,
personalized service, with flexibility, speed and attention to customer needs,
the Bank can avail itself of the target market for individualized banking
services, while meeting the credit needs of individuals, as well as small and
mid-sized businesses. The previous banking experience of the Bank's officers,
coupled with the broad business and banking experience of its directors, makes
the Bank particularly well-suited to cater to the needs of this market. Each
director of the Registrant serves as a conduit, referring qualified business to
the Bank.
Additionally, the management and Board of the Bank are very active in their
respective communities. This activism allows the Bank to closely monitor the
needs of members of the communities in which it operates and to develop programs
to serve those needs. One such program is the Bank's secured VISA program,
designed to help individuals with an adverse credit history to have access to a
credit card while rebuilding their credit rating. The Bank has also implemented
programs aimed at counseling individuals and businesses on financial
responsibility. Through those programs, Registrant not only strives to provide
helpful services to the communities in which it operates, but endeavors to
create a solid, loyal customer base into the future.

RTC Acquisitions
In 1994, the Bank acquired two branch locations. The first of these
acquisitions included one branch and deposits of Ukrainian Federal Savings and
Loan ("Ukrainian") from the Resolution Trust Corporation ("RTC"). Pursuant to
the Ukrainian acquisition, the Bank acquired approximately $15.9 million in
deposits from the RTC and established a branch location at 1321 West Lindley
Avenue, in North Philadelphia. Additionally, pursuant to the acquisition of
Ukrainian, the Bank received the right to purchase residential real estate loans
from the RTC totalling approximately $18,500,000. Due to unacceptable pricing,
the Bank never exercised its right to purchase these loans. Instead, it was
offered a compromise whereunder the RTC would pay the Bank the amount of
interest that would have accrued on the loan portfolio offered, through December
21, 1995, to compensate the Bank for the delay caused by the disagreement
between the Bank and the RTC concerning the pricing of the loan portfolio. In
February, 1995, the RTC made a partial payment of the amount due. In order to
recover the remaining amount due, the Bank instituted suit against the RTC in
the Federal District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania on March 31,
1995, seeking damages of $312,147.03, the amount of the deficiency in payment by
the RTC. The Bank settled this proceeding upon payment by the RTC of $90
thousand. See "Legal Proceedings".
Competition
There is substantial competition among financial institutions in the Bank's
service area. The Bank competes with new and established local, regional and
national commercial banks. There is also competition from thrift savings banks
and savings and loan associations. Many of these banks and financial
institutions are well-capitalized, allowing 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.
5
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
among banks (particularly major banks), savings and loan associations and credit
unions. To a lesser extent thrift and loan companies, mortgage brokerage
companies and insurance companies also have provided competition. Federal
legislation in the 1980s has increased competition by expanding the authority of
savings and loan associations to make consumer and commercial loans. Legislation
has eliminated all interest rate differentials between banks and savings and
loans, further increasing the ability of savings and loans to compete with
commercial banks and thrift and loan companies. In the past several years, other
financial intermediaries have begun to offer financial services traditionally
offered by banks. Institutions, such as brokerage houses and even retail
establishments also offer new investment vehicles. 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.

ITEM 3 - Legal Proceedings
United Bank of Philadelphia (Plaintiff) settled its suit against the
Resolution Trust Corporation (Defendant) filed on March 31, 1996 in the Federal
District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. The Plaintiff alleged
that a contract entered into with the Defendant requires that the Defendant pay
the Plaintiff accrued interest on a designated loan portfolio from the date 45
days after the resolution of the former Ukrainian Federal Savings and Loan
Association, a branch of which was purchased by the Plaintiff on June 21, 1994,
through December 21, 1994. Defendant argued that the interest due pursuant to
the contract should be reduced by the fed funds rate applicable to that time
period.
The case was heard by the Eastern District Court for the Eastern District
of Pennsylvania in April, 1996. The case resulted in a hung jury. As a result,
no verdict was rendered. The Bank and the RTC settled the case upon a payment by
the RTC's successor in interest, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation to
the Bank of $90 thousand. As a result of the settlement, the Bank withdrew its
case.
No material claims have been instituted or threatened by or against UBS or
its affiliates other than in the normal course of business.
ITEM 4 - Submission of Matters to Vote of Security Holders
Not Applicable. No matters were submitted to a vote of Registrant's
security holders since the Registrant's last periodic filing.
PART II
ITEM 5 - Market for the Registrant's Common Stock.
As of March 15, 1997 there were 3,178 shareholders of record of UBS's
Common Stock.
8
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. Registrant has engaged in the sale of Series A Preferred Stock which
has the characteristics identified in the UBS Articles of Incorporation attached
as an Exhibit hereto pursuant to an exemption from registration contained in
Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
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 (exercisable
April 23, 1996 to April 30, 1996), $9.00 per share for the 1997 Warrant
(exercisable April 23, 1997 to April 30, 1997), and $10.00 per share for the
1998 Warrant (exercisable April 23, 1998 to April 30, 1998). 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. As of December 31, 1996, 36,930 warrants remain outstanding.
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.
9
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
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
In April 1993, the shareholders of the United Bank of Philadelphia ("the
Bank") voted in favor of the formation of a bank holding company, United
Bancshares Inc. Accordingly, in October 1994, United Bancshares, Inc. ("the
Company") became a bank holding company in conjunction with the issuance of its
common shares in exchange for the common shares of United Bank of Philadelphia.
Since 1994, the financial statements are prepared on a consolidated basis to
include the accounts of United Bancshares, Inc. and United Bank of Philadelphia.
Financial data for prior periods are presented for United Bank of Philadelphia
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 incurred a net loss of $832 thousand for 1996, compared with a
net loss of $779 thousand in 1995 and $747 thousand in 1994. The loss for 1996
is primarily attributable to a one-time Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
(FDIC) Savings Association Insurance Fund (SAIF) Special Assessment of
approximately $485 thousand resulting from legislation passed by Congress on
September 30, 1996 to recapitalize SAIF. As a result, commercial banks, like
United Bank, which were members of the Bank Insurance Fund (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
Resolution Trust Corporation (RTC) in 1993 and 1994, approximately $74 million
of its deposits are considered SAIF-assessable. The Bank filed an appeal of this
Special Assessment due to the burdensome financial impact of the charge. In
addition, management believes a significant portion of its deposits are
incorrectly classified under SAIF, as at the time of acquisition of branches
from the RTC it already had over $30 million in deposits accumulated and
insurable under BIF. Further, 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. Currently, the legislation does not make any
provision for deposit run-off or for appeals on this basis. As of December 31,
1996, the Bank has been unsuccessful in its appeal efforts.
Excluding the SAIF Special Assessment, the Bank's loss for 1996 is
approximately $347 thousand representing a $432 thousand improvement from the
1995 loss of $779 thousand. The improvement was a result of increased earning
assets funded by a higher level of noninterest-bearing accounts. Management
recognized 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.
Management's strategy is to continue to increase its core deposit base while
making a concerted effort to minimize and control operating costs. In addition,
there was an increased level of noninterest income--up from $741 thousand in
1995 to $1.1 million in 1996. Customer service fees accounted for most of the
increase as the number of transactional accounts increased significantly during
1996 as a result of new checking account products and compensating balance
requirements. During the month of September 1996, the Bank also implemented a
surcharge for all non-customer use of its Automated Teller Machines (ATMs). In
addition, during 1996, as a result of litigation, the Bank received a one-time
$90,000 settlement from the RTC related to accrued interest on loans it was to
acquire.
On a per common share basis, the Company's loss was $(1.03) in 1996,
$(1.04) in 1995, and $(1.01) in 1994.
During 1996, average earning assets increased approximately 3.3% while the
net yield on average interest-earning assets increased from 4.82% to 4.95%. The
result was an increase of $247 thousand in net interest income from 1995 to
1996.
Management considers the Bank's loan portfolio to be of high quality with
nonperforming assets representing 1.1% of average loans and minimal charge-offs
during the year. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans
remained relatively constant at .76% in 1996 versus .77% in 1995. The allowance
is deemed adequate in light of the mix of the Bank's loan portfolio which
primarily consists of residential mortgage loans, Small Business Administration
(SBA) guaranteed loans, and guaranteed student loans all for which the exposure
is minimized due to collateral or other related guarantee features.
Excluding the one-time SAIF Special Assessment of $485 thousand,
noninterest expense increased $184 thousand or 3.4% in 1996 compared to 1995
primarily as a result of increased data processing costs due to growth in the
Bank's student loan portfolio from approximately $12 million to $17 million. The
Bank pays an outside vendor to service these loans based on average outstanding
balances.

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 1996 totaled $4.3 million, an increase of $247
thousand, or 6.2%, compared to 1995. Net interest income in 1995 totaled $4.0
million, an increase of $246 thousand, or 6.5%, compared to 1994.

Changes in interest income or expense not arising solely as a result of volume
or rate variances due to the interest sensitivity of consolidated assets and
liabilities.
In 1996, there was an increase in net interest income of $334 thousand due
to changes in volume and a decrease of $87 thousand due to changes in rate. In
1995, there was an increase in net interest income of $244 thousand due to
changes in volume and an increase of $4 thousand due to changes in rate.
Average earning assets increased from $83.2 million in 1995 to $86.0
million in 1996. This growth in earning assets is primarily attributed to an
increase in average demand deposit balances due to continued growth in new
checking account products-- "free" checking and "entrepreneurial-25" checking
which were introduced in 1995. These products provide a low-cost/minimum balance
option for personal and small business customers who have relatively low-volume
activity in their checking accounts. While benefiting customers, these products
also serve as means of generating noninterest-bearing funds for the Bank as well
as a source of service charge income from overdraft fees. The increase in volume
of investable funds was primarily used to fund new loan originations--a
significant portion of which included student loans which carry with them a
lower rate than commercial or other consumer loans; thereby contributing to the
decline in loan rates. The average earning assets declined from $85.5 million in
1994 to $83.2 million in 1995. This decline in earning assets is primarily
attributed to the decline in the level of other borrowed funds from $6.5 million
in 1994 to $118 thousand in 1995. During 1994, the Bank entered into reverse
repurchase agreements with another institution to fund earning assets.
The Bank's net interest margin was 4.95% in 1996 compared with 4.82% in
1995, and 4.40% for 1994. The primary determinant of the increase in 1996 was
the increase in new loan originations funded by noninterest-bearing demand
deposit accounts which resulted in higher net interest margin spreads. Margins
were positively impacted by increases in the prime rate during 1994 and 1995.
The average prime rate in 1996 was 8.27% compared with 8.75% in 1995 and 8.55%
in 1994. Average loans increased $7.8 million during 1996 and produced a yield
of 8.53% compared to 8.83% in 1995 and 8.58% in 1994. The decrease in yield
during 1996 is primarily attributed to the reduction in prime rate and the
significant increase in student loan originations during the year which carry
with them a lower yield than commercial and/or installment loans. However, the
increase in volume more than compensated for the decline in yield -- producing a
$409 thousand net increase in interest on loans during 1996.
The increase in yield in 1995 is primarily a result of a change in
composition of the loan portfolio. At December 31, 1994, residential mortgage
loans made up 77.81%, or $49.6 million, of the loan portfolio compared to
59.95%, or $37.3 million, at December 31, 1995. As residential mortgage loans
were sold or paid down, they were replaced with higher yielding commercial SBA
loans and student loans.
The average federal funds rate declined to 5.17% in 1996 compared to 5.64%
for 1995 which was up from 3.85% for 1994. During 1996, the average investment
in federal funds declined by $2.6 million as funds were invested in higher
yielding loans. The yield on the investment portfolio increased 73 basis points
in 1996 compared to a 78 basis point increase in 1995 due to the longer
contractual maturity structure and rate adjustment intervals characteristic of
the portfolio.
The cost of interest-bearing deposits decreased to 3.41% in 1996 compared
to 3.47% in 1995 and 3.12% in 1994. In 1996, interest rates paid on deposits
remained relatively constant. However, during 1995, the overall interest rates
on deposits increased to compensate for the increasing interest rate environment
which saw the Federal Reserve increase rates 75 basis points during 1995 and 300
basis points during 1994.
Provision for Loan Losses
The Bank adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("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. As a result of applying the new rules,
certain impaired loans are reported at the present value of expected future cash
flows using the loan's initial effective interest rate, or as a practical
expedient, at the loan's observable market price or at the fair value of the
collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. The adoption of these standards
did not have a material impact on the Bank's financial position or results of
operations.
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 for loan losses charged against earnings in 1996 was $85
thousand compared to $78 thousand in 1995 and $385 thousand in 1994. During
1995, the Bank charged off the balance related to one commercial loan for which
the value of the underlying collateral declined significantly during 1994. The
Bank had made significant provisions for this loan during 1994. In addition, the
gradual change in the composition of the loan portfolio during 1995 and 1996
from residential mortgage loans to purchased or originated commercial SBA loans
and student loans resulted in a portfolio with significantly lower credit risk
characteristics due to the related government guarantees.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income increased $376 thousand during 1996. The increase is
primarily attributable to an increase in transactional deposit accounts from an
average of $19.6 million in 1995 to $24.3 million in 1996 as a result of the
continued success of product offerings which were introduced in 1995--"free"
checking" and "entrepreneurial-25" checking. Deposit related noninterest income
increased to .98% of average total assets in 1996 from .73% in 1995 and .61% in
1994. In addition, in 1996 the Bank strongly enforced compensating balance
arrangements with its loan customers. Also contributing to the increase was the
implementation of a surcharge for all noncustomer use of the Bank's Automated
Teller Machines (ATMs) in September 1996 and an expanded ATM network from 5
machines in 1995 to 15 machines in 1996. During 1996, the Bank entered into an
agreement with a growing retail corporation which provides for the placement of
ATM machines in its retail stores. Finally, during 1996 the Bank received a
$90,000 one-time settlement from the RTC related to accrued interest on loans it
was to acquire.
Total noninterest income decreased $199 thousand in 1995 compared to 1994.
Excluding gains on sales of loans and losses incurred on the sale of investment
securities and a one-time $303 thousand RTC fee accrued in 1994, there was an
increase of $88 thousand in 1995 compared to 1994. The amount of the Bank's
noninterest income generally reflects the volume of the transactional and other
accounts handled by the Bank and includes such fees and charges as low balance
account charges, overdrafts, account analysis, and other customer service fees.
During 1994, noninterest income included a gain on the sale of loans. In
March 1994, the Bank sold $12.7 million in loans it had acquired from the RTC
and were held-for-sale at December 31, 1993. The Bank paid PNC Bank $350
thousand from the sale proceeds related to PNC Bank's purchase of one of the
Home Unity Savings and Loan branches from the Bank. This payment was contingent
upon the Bank's sale of loans in 1994. The net gain on this loan sale was
approximately $195 thousand.
Securities gains totaled $9 thousand in 1996. There were no sales of
securities during 1995. Losses totaled $201 thousand in 1994 as a result of the
sale of the Bank's investment of its shares in a mutual fund comprised of U.S.
Government and agency securities which generated a loss of approximately $183
thousand. The sale of other debt securities generated a loss of $18 thousand in
1994.
Noninterest Expense
Excluding the one-time SAIF Special Assessment of $485 thousand,
noninterest expense increased $184 thousand, or 3.4%, in 1996 compared to 1995
versus an increase of $386 thousand ,or 7.6%, in 1995 compared to 1994.
Salaries and benefits decreased $23 thousand, or 1%, in 1996 compared with
an increase of $338 thousand in 1995. In addition to normal salary adjustments ,
the increase in 1995 came primarily as a result of the Bank's acquisition of
branches from the RTC in the third quarter of 1994. The number of branches grew
from 5 at December 31, 1993 to 7 at September 30, 1994 and for all of 1995. As
the number of branches has grown so too has the need for additional support
staff. During 1996, the Bank closed 2 branches and opened one. However, staffing
levels remained relatively constant during 1996 with some planned attrition
during the first quarter and management's concerted effort to minimize new
hirings and control personnel expense.
Data processing expenses, which represented 13.3% in 1996, 11.4% in 1995
and 10.1% in 1994 of total noninterest expense, are a result of management's
decision to out-source to third-party processors the bulk of its data
processing. Such 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 1996 is primarily attributable to growth in the
student loan portfolio for which the Bank pays an outside vendor to service
based on average outstanding balances. 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 out-sourcing, and the
possible renegotiation of existing contracts with servicers.
Occupancy and equipment expenses increased by $79 thousand, or 9.6%, in
1996 compared to 1995 and $101 thousand, or 14%, in 1995 compared to 1994. The
increase in 1996 is primarily attributed to annual escalations in lease payments
and a new maintenance contract entered into to service the Bank's growing ATM
network. In addition, in July 1996, the Bank entered into a lease for a new
branch it opened in West Philadelphia. In November 1996, the Bank closed two
branches it had acquired from the RTC in 1993 and 1994 under free-rent
agreements. These branches were closed due to the significant level of deposit
run-off which occurred almost immediately following the acquisition which
rendered them unprofitable to continue to operate. Remaining deposits of these
branches were transferred to other branches. While the closed branches were
leased under free-rent agreements, significant repairs and maintenance costs and
other operational costs were incurred while they were open. The Bank expects to
experience a savings in its occupancy expense during 1997 as a result of these
closures.
The increase in occupancy and equipment expenses during 1995 is related to
general lease escalations and the building maintenance and operating costs
associated with two branches acquired in the third quarter of 1994 which were
operational for the entire year during 1995. In addition, in November 1995, the
Bank acquired for $165 thousand one of the branches it formerly leased from the
RTC on a month-to-month basis.
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 $2.8 million, or 3.4%, in 1996 compared with a decrease
of $2.3 million, or 2.6%, in 1995.

Investment Securities and other Short-term Investments
Average investment securities and federal funds sold, in the aggregate,
decreased by $5.0 million in 1996, or 19%, compared to 1995 and $5.6 million, or
18%, during 1995 compared with 1994. The decline in investments and federal
funds during 1996 and 1995 is attributed to a shift in investable funds to
higher yielding loans to enhance the Bank's net interest margin while
maintaining adequate liquidity.
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 3.6 years at year-end 1996. Approximately 40% of the portfolio
consists of mortgage-backed pass-through securities which 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.

The above table sets forth the maturities of investment securities at
December 31, 1996 and the weighted average yields of such securities (calculated

maturity of each security).
Loans
Average loans increased approximately $7.8 million, or 13.48%, in 1996
compared with an increase of $4.2 million, or 7.95%, in 1995. The increase in
loans during 1996 was primarily due to the origination of more than $5 million
in student loans. In addition, during 1996 commercial loans increased $2.1
million while residential mortgage loans declined approximately $650 thousand
due to paydowns and payoffs of loans acquired in prior years. In February 1997,
the Bank sold $4.9 million in student loans to reduce the data processing
expense associated with servicing these loans and to make funds available to
originate higher yielding commercial loans. To head off potential interest rate
risk exposure, in March 1995, the Bank sold $10.2 million fixed rate residential
mortgage loans. Throughout 1995 and 1996, the Bank replaced these loans
primarily with variable rate SBA originated and/or purchased loans and
guaranteed student loans. As a result, the Bank ended 1996 with a
loan-to-deposit ratio of 78% versus a 73% ratio at December 31, 1995.
The Bank's policy is to make its loans and commitments in the market area
it serves. However, due to the relatively slow loan demand in 1994 and 1995, the
Bank purchased a significant portion of its loan portfolio to adequately match
its level of deposits and to improve the net interest margin. During 1996, the
Bank had originations and a strong pipeline of loans located within the
Philadelphia region.

Deposits
Average deposits, including noninterest-bearing deposits grew approximately
$2.2 million, or 2.6% in 1996 compared to $7.8 million, or 11%, during 1995.
Beginning in 1995, the Bank strategically planned to counterbalance the impact
of its prior years' deposit acquisitions from the RTC that were concentrated in
the areas of savings and time deposits which are typical of savings and loan
institutions. While these deposits served as an addition to the Bank's core
deposit base, they also had the effect of increasing the Bank's cost of funds as
noninterest-bearing deposits were minimal. During 1995, the Bank designed two
new demand deposit products ("free" checking and "entrepreneurial-25" checking)
to meet the needs of the community and to generate additional low-cost deposits.
As a result, during 1996, noninterest-bearing deposits grew approximately $3.8
million.

The average balance for other borrowed funds increased $1.7 million, or
1,443.22%, in 1996 compared to 1995 and decreased $6.4 million, or 98.2%, in
1995 compared to 1994. The increase in other borrowed funds is primarily related
to a reverse repurchase agreement the Bank entered into in 1996. The level of
other borrowed funds is dependent on many items such as loan growth, deposit
growth and interest rates paid for these funds. The decline in 1995 was due to
regulatory capital constraints which did not allow for further leveraging of the
Bank's balance sheet.
Nonperforming Loans
Table 8 reflects the Bank's nonperforming loans for the last 5 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 which 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
those loans classified as nonaccrual that causes management to be uncertain as
to the 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, 1996, approximately 24% 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, 1996, none of these loans are
nonperforming.
The level of nonaccrual loans during 1996 and 1995 is primarily
attributable to the aging of the residential mortgage loan portfolios the Bank
acquired in 1993 and 1994. At December 31, 1996 and 1995, approximately $327
thousand and $539 thousand, respectively, of the total nonaccrual loans were
residential mortgages while the remaining balance consisted primarily of loans
with SBA guarantees of principal. The underlying collateral and guarantees
minimize 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 4 years. The
specific allocations in any particular category may prove to be excessive or
inadequate and consequently may be re-allocated 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.

The amount charged to operations and the related balance in the allowance for
loan losses is 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.
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 to 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 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, 1996, management believes the
Bank's liquidity is satisfactory and in compliance with the 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 $1.1 million at December 31, 1996, representing 7.5% of the
investment portfolio. Other types of assets such as federal funds sold, as well
as maturing loans, are sources of liquidity. Approximately $4.1 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 which 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,
1996, 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, 1996, a liability sensitive position is
maintained on a cumulative basis through 1 year of -5.96% which is within the
Bank's policy guidelines of +/- 15% on a cumulative 1-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 which 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.

Loan balances have been reduced for nonperforming loans.
Core deposits such as checking and savings deposits have been placed in
repricing intervals based on historical trends and management's estimates
In June 1996, banking regulators issued a "Joint Agency Policy Statement:
Interest Rate Risk" (FDICIA 305). The agencies agreed that the focus should be
on the risk to both net interest income (or net income) as outlined in Table 12
in the traditional gap analysis and economic (or fair) value of equity. The
premise is that changes in interest rates affect a bank's earnings by changing
its net interest income and the level of other interest-sensitive income and
operating expenses. However, changes in interest rates also affect the
underlying economic value of the bank's assets, liabilities and
off-balance-sheet instruments because the present value of future cash flows
and, in some cases, cash flows themselves, change when interest rates change.
The combined effects of the changes in these present values reflect the change
in the bank's underlying economic value. At a minimum, this Policy Statement
requires that policies and procedures be implemented to determine acceptable
levels of interest rate risk exposure, given the Bank's profile and capital
position and to monitor and control the Bank's overall interest-rate risk. The
regulators did not quantify the impact on capital standards in their policy
statement, but left it up to banks to determine their own limits, with a minimum
requirement based on exposure to a +/- 200 basis point rate change.
The Bank has revised its policies and procedures to conform with FDICIA 305
and has established a policy limit of +/- 3% as an acceptable fair value equity
change in a +/- 200 basis point rate shock environment. Management performs a
fair value simulation which demonstrates the fair value of equity increasing
.75% if rates decrease 200 basis points and declining 1.70% if rates increase
+200 basis points. This analysis confirms that the Bank has more exposure to
increasing rates than to decreasing rates.
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 as it is within the Bank's policy limits at December
31, 1996. 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 (CDs) and movement into money
market deposit accounts and short-term CDs 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 earnings assets and cost of funds will
decrease the Bank's vulnerability to interest-rate cycles.
Capital Resources
Total shareholders' equity decreased approximately $711 thousand during
1996 compared to an increase of approximately $671 thousand in 1995. The
decrease during 1996 was due to the net loss the Bank experienced, most of which
came as a result of the $485 thousand SAIF Special Assessment. However, the
decrease was offset by approximately $139 thousand in proceeds from the issuance
of common stock during the year.
The increase in 1995 was primarily the result of $250 thousand from the
issuance of preferred stock in 1995. In addition, approximately $722 thousand in
common stock was sold during the year. The proceeds from the issuance of stock
have been used to stabilize the Bank's capital and absorb the impact of the
Bank's growth and expansion.
The Federal Reserve Bank's ("FRB") standards for measuring capital adequacy
for U.S. Banking organizations requires 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, 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. The FRB
requires "de novo" banks to maintain a primary capital ratio of 9%. As of March
23, 1995, the Bank's third-year anniversary, the Bank was no longer considered
"de novo" by the FRB for purposes of capital requirements. Therefore, the Bank
must meet only the normal minimum ratios outlined above.
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
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. At December 31,
1996, 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 long-term
debt.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 1996
(in thousands, except per share amounts)
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
In April 1993, the shareholders of United Bank of Philadelphia ("UBP" or "the
Bank") voted in favor of the formation of a bank holding company, United
Bancshares, Inc. ("UBS" or "the Company"). Accordingly, in October 1994, UBS
became a one bank holding company in conjunction with the issuance of its common
shares in exchange for the common shares of UBP. This transaction was accounted
for in a manner similar to a pooling of interests and, accordingly, the
consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the
Bank for all periods presented.
A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of
the accompanying financial statements follows.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of UBS and its
wholly-owned subsidiary, UBP. 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.
Investment Securities
Effective January 1, 1994, the Bank adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities." Under this standard, debt securities that the Bank has both the
positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are carried at amortized cost
and classified as held-to-maturity. Debt securities that the Bank does not have
positive intent to hold to maturity are classified as available-for-sale and
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.

United Bancshares, Inc.
================================================================================
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Investment Securities (continued)
Prior to January 1, 1994, the Bank classified debt securities as
held-for-investment and carried them at cost, adjusted for amortization of
premium and accretion of discount, which are recognized as adjustments to
income. Application of the new rules resulted in a decrease of approximately
$4,500 in shareholders' equity as of January 1, 1994, representing the
recognition in shareholders' equity of net unrealized depreciation for the
Bank's investment in debt and equity securities determined to be available for
sale, previously carried at amortized cost.
Gains and losses on the sale of securities are determined by the specific
identification method.
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 ninety 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 114). Interest
received on non accrual 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 non-performing.
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 are carried at the aggregate of lower of cost or market
value.
================================================================================
United Bancshares, Inc.
================================================================================
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
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 Standard ("SFAS") No. 114,
"Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," and Statement No. 118
"Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan--Income Recognition and
Disclosures" effective January 1, 1995. Under SFAS 114, the allowance for loan
losses related to "impaired loans" is based on the discounted cash flows using
the impaired loan's 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 non-accrual status. Loans which are
evaluated for impairment pursuant to SFAS 114 are assessed on a loan-by-loan
basis, and include only commercial non-accrual loans. Large groups of smaller,
homogeneous loans, such as credit cards, student loans, and residential
mortgages, 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.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
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.
Loss Per Share
Loss per share is based on the weighted average common shares outstanding during
each period.
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.
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.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications of previous years' financial statements were made to
conform with the 1996 presentation.

2. Cash and Due from Bank Balances
The Bank maintains various deposit accounts of $808,000 at December 31, 1996
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, 1996.

stock at a price of $12 per share. As of December 31, 1996, UBS 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.
In June, 1994, UBS began a limited offering of its Series A Preferred Stock
(non-cumulative 6%, $.01 par value) on a best efforts basis. The non-voting
preferred stock was offered at a price of $20 per share with a minimum purchase
of 750 shares and integral multiples thereof. During 1995, UBS had received
$250,000 and had issued 12,500 shares of preferred stock from this offering.
During 1994, UBS had received $1,613,158 and issued 80,650 shares of preferred
stock from this offering. The offering terminated on December 31, 1995.
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 UBS. No dividends were declared or paid
during 1996, 1995 or 1994.
In April 1995, UBS began its third offering of a maximum 250,000 shares of
common stock at a price of $12 per share. For every share purchased in this
offering each investor received 3 warrants which allowed the purchase of one
additional common share in each of the next three years, that is 1996, 1997, and
1998, at a price of $8.00, $9.00, and $10.00, respectively up to the amount
purchased in this offering. As of December 31, 1995, UBS had received $221,580
and had issued 18,465 shares of common stock

and 55,395 warrants from this offering. This offering was limited to existing
shareholders of record as of April 21, 1995. The offering terminated on December
31, 1995. In 1995, UBS also received $500,000 and issued 41,666 shares of common
stock. During 1996, UBS 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 per
share. As of December 31, 1996, 36,930 warrants remain outstanding.
10. Income Taxes
The Bank accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS 109.
At December 31, 1996, the Bank has net operating loss carryforwards of
approximately $3,271,000 for income tax purposes that begin 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 $1,130,494 and $841,423 as of December 31,
1996 and 1995, 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 as of
December 31, 1996, and 1995 are as follows:
1996 1995
---- ----
Deferred tax assets (liabilities):
Preoperating costs $ 5,973 $ 50,476

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 at
December 31:
1996 1995
---- ----
Commitments to extend credit $4,528,915 $6,857,398
Outstanding letters of credit 115,000 155,000
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 statements of financial condition, 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

non financial instruments are exempt from disclosure requirements. Accordingly,
the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value

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 sheets
for cash and cash equivalents approximate those assets' fair value.
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.
================================================================================
United Bancshares, Inc.
================================================================================
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
12. Fair Values of Financial Instruments (continued)
Loans held for sale: Fair values are estimated using quoted rates based upon
secondary market sources for similar loans.
Loans: The fair value of loans was estimated using 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 non-interest checking, passbook savings, and certain types of money
market account) 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.
13. Employee Compensation
The Bank has an employment agreement with its chief executive officer covering
such items as salary, 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 Company's stock as of December 31, 1993 at a price of $8.54 per
share which was the book value at the date of grant. The contract, as amended on
January 1, 1997, 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 1996 or 1995.

14. Branch Acquisitions
On September 23, 1994, the Bank acquired one branch with approximately $7
million dollars in deposits from Central Pennsylvania Savings Association
("Central Penn").
On June 24, 1994, the Bank acquired one branch with approximately $15.9 million
in deposits of Ukrainian Federal Savings Association ("Ukrainian") from the
Resolution Trust Corporation.
On July 28, 1993, the Bank acquired two branches with approximately $11.8
million in deposits of Chase Federal Savings and Loan Association ("Chase").
On August 27, 1993, the Bank acquired three branches with approximately $97
million in deposits of Home Unity Savings and Loan Association ("Home Unity")
from the RTC and immediately sold one branch with deposits of $34.5 million to
PNC Bank.
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 5 years.
Amortization for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994, and 1993 totaled
approximately $78,700, $78,700, and $58,900, respectively.
15. Loan Sales and Acquisitions
In March 1995, the Bank sold approximately $10.2 million fixed rate residential
mortgage loans. There was no gain or loss on this sale transaction. At December
31, 1994, these loans were classified as held for sale.
Pursuant to the acquisition of Chase and Home Unity branches in 1993, the Bank
acquired loans with outstanding principal balances totaling $107.6 million for
$104.4 million, net of a discount of $3.2 million. The Bank immediately sold
$64.8 million of these loans at a net gain of $2.6 million. The Bank retained
the remaining $42.8 million of these loans and allocated $426,000 of the
remaining discount to an allowance for loan losses to cover potential losses in
the acquired and retained portfolio. The discount remaining after the loan loss
allocation is being amortized over the remaining life of the retained loans
using the interest method.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
15. Loan Sales and Acquisitions (continued)
In 1994, the Bank acquired loans from other institutions with outstanding
principal balances totaling $26.1 million for $25.6 million, net of a discount
of $544,000. The Bank allocated $185,000 of the discount to an allowance for
losses to cover potential losses in the acquired portfolio.
16. 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 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 thousand. 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, Asians 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, UBS 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
regulators against banks that do not meet minimum capital requirements. Prompt
corrective actions range from the 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---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 for prompt and corrective action,
the Bank must meet specific capital 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.
================================================================================
United Bancshares, Inc.
================================================================================
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
18. Regulatory Matters (continued)
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, 1996, that the Bank
meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.
The most recent notification from the 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, 1996 that
management believes have changed the institution's category. The continued
ability of UBS and the Bank to meet the regulators' capital requirements will be
dependent on the ability of UBS and the Bank to achieve profitable future
operations and raise additional capital from investors. Potential risks and
uncertainties that could affect the Bank's ability to achieve profitable future
operating results and UBS' ability to raise capital include, without limitation,
general economic conditions, expanded market share of the Bank's products and
services, and the ability to diversify and expand the Bank's loan portfolio with
profitable loans, the ability of the Bank to continue to create new, competitive
and profitable products (such as noninterest bearing deposits) and services, the
possibility of adverse publicity, and continued competitive and pricing pressure
in the marketplace. A change in applicable law or regulation may also have a
material effect on the Bank's business.
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. At December 31,
1996, 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 Company from issuing long-term debt.

19. Deposit Insurance Assessments
Deposits of the Bank are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
(FDIC). On September 30, 1996, Congress passed a Bill to re-capitalize the
Savings Association Insurance Fund (SAIF) of the FDIC. As a result, commercial
banks, like the Bank, which were members of the Bank Insurance Fund (BIF) but
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
Resolution Trust Corporation (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 SAIF, as at the time of acquisition of branches from the
RTC, it had over $30 million in deposits accumulated and insurable under BIF.
Further, 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 run-off, or
for appeals on this basis. As of December 31, 1996, the Bank has been
unsuccessful in its appeal efforts.

Directors' fees to its "non-interested" Directors totalling $34,550. UBS paid no
director fees since its inception.
At a Board of Directors meeting of the Bank held November 16, 1996 the
Board voted to reduce the fees paid for Board and committee meetings to $175 for
each Board meeting attended and $75 for each committee meeting attended.
Dr. Emma C. Chappell, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of

$150,000. A copy of the employment agreement entered into among Dr. Chappell,
the Bank and UBS is filed as an Exhibit hereto.
William X. Smith serves as Chief Operating Officer of the Bank, pursuant to
an employment agreement entered into between the Bank and Mr. Smith. Pursuant to
this employment agreement which expires April, 1997, Mr. Smith receives an
annual salary of $85,000 for his services to the Bank. Mr. Smith is not an
employee of Registrant.
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 1996 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.
