United Bancorporation of Alabama, Inc. and United Bank

United Bancorporation of Alabama, Inc. (the "Corporation") is a one-bank, bank holding company, with headquarters in Atmore, Alabama. The Corporation was incorporated under the laws of Delaware on March 8, 1982 for the purpose of acquiring all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of The Bank of Atmore, Atmore, Alabama ("Atmore") and Peoples Bank, Frisco City, Alabama ("Peoples"). Atmore was merged into United Bank of Atmore, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation, and Peoples was merged into United Bank of Frisco City ("Frisco City"), also a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation, in late 1982. Effective March 30, 1984, Frisco City merged into United Bank of Atmore, which had previously changed its name to simply "United Bank."

The Corporation and its subsidiary, United Bank (herein "United Bank" or the "Bank"), operate primarily in one business segment, commercial banking. United Bank contributes substantially all of the total operating revenues and consolidated assets of the Corporation. The Bank serves its customers from seventeen full service banking offices located in Atmore (2 offices), Frisco City, Monroeville, Flomaton, Foley, Lillian, Bay Minette (2 offices), Silverhill, Magnolia Springs, Spanish Fort, Summerdale, and Loxley, Alabama, and in Jay, Pace and Milton, Florida. Additionally, a loan production office is located in Loxley, Alabama.

United Bank offers a broad range of banking services. Services to business customers include providing remote deposit capabilities, checking accounts, money market deposit accounts, time deposit accounts, repurchase agreements, and various types of lending services. Services provided to individual customers include checking accounts, NOW accounts, money market deposit accounts, statement savings accounts, and various other time deposit savings programs and loans, including business, personal, automobile, home and home improvement loans. United Bank offers securities brokerage services, Visa multi-purpose, and nationally recognized credit card service. The Bank also offers internet banking, bill pay and access to online brokerage services at its web site, www.unitedbank.com. The Bank also owns an insurance agency, United Insurance Services, Inc., which opened and began business in 2001.

Competition - The commercial banking business is highly competitive and United Bank competes actively with state and national banks, savings and loan associations, insurance companies, brokerage houses, and credit unions in its market areas for deposits and loans. In addition, United Bank competes with other financial institutions, including personal loan companies, leasing companies, finance companies and certain governmental agencies, all of which engage in marketing various types of loans and other services. The regulatory environment affects competition in the bank business as well.

Employees - The Corporation and its subsidiary had approximately 180 full-time equivalent employees at December 31, 2010. All of the employees are engaged in the operations of United Bank, its subsidiary, or the Corporation. The Corporation considers its employee relations good, and has not experienced and does not anticipate any work stoppage attributable to labor disputes.

Supervision, Regulation and Government Policy – The following discussion of Supervision, Regulation and Government Policy should be read in conjunction with the discussion of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“Dodd-Frank Act”) below. Bank holding companies, banks and many of their non-bank affiliates are extensively regulated under both federal and state law. The following brief summary of certain statutes, rules and regulations affecting the Corporation and the Bank is qualified in its entirety by reference to the particular statutory and regulatory provisions referred to below, and is not intended to be an exhaustive description of the statutes or regulations applicable to the Corporation's business. Any change in applicable law or regulations could have a material effect on the business of the Corporation and its subsidiary. Supervision, regulation and examination of banks by bank regulatory agencies are intended primarily for the protection of depositors rather than holders of corporation common stock.

The Corporation is registered as a bank holding company (“BHC”) with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve") under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the "BHC Act"), having determined that continued registration as a financial holding company (“FHC”) was unnecessary in light of the Corporation’s current and anticipated operations. As such, the Corporation is subject to the supervision, examination, and reporting requirements in the BHC Act and the regulations of the Federal Reserve. See discussion of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Financial Services Modernization Act below.

The BHC Act requires every bank holding company to obtain the prior approval of the Federal Reserve before it may acquire substantially all of the assets of any bank or control of any voting shares of any bank, if, after such acquisition, it would own or control, directly or indirectly, more than 5% of the voting shares of such bank. The BHC Act requires the Federal Reserve to consider, among other things, anticompetitive effects, financial and managerial resources and community needs in reviewing such a transaction.

With the prior approval of the Superintendent of the Alabama State Department of Banking ("Superintendent") and their primary federal regulators, state banks are entitled to expand by branching.

The Corporation is a legal entity separate and distinct from the Bank. Various legal limitations restrict the Bank from lending or otherwise supplying funds to the Corporation. Such transactions, including extensions of credit, sales of securities or assets and provision of services, also must be on terms and conditions consistent with safe and sound banking practices, including credit standards, that are substantially the same or at least as favorable to the Bank as prevailing at the time for transactions with unaffiliated companies. Also, as a subsidiary of a bank holding company, the Bank is generally prohibited from conditioning the extension of credit or other services, or conditioning the lease or sale of property, on the customer's agreement to obtain or furnish some additional credit, property or service from or to such subsidiary or an affiliate.

The Bank is a state bank, subject to state banking laws and regulation, supervision and regular examination by the Alabama State Department of Banking (the "Department"), and as a member of the Deposit Insurance Fund ("DIF") of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC"), is also subject to FDIC regulation and examination. The Bank is not a member of the Federal Reserve System. Areas subject to federal and state regulation include dividend payments, reserves, investments, loans, interest rates, mergers and acquisitions, issuance of securities, borrowings, establishment of branches and other aspects of operation, including compliance with truth-in-lending and usury laws, and regulators have the right to prevent the development or continuance of unsafe or unsound banking practices regardless of whether the practice is specifically proscribed or otherwise violates law.

Dividends from United Bank constitute the major source of funds for the Corporation. United Bank is subject to state law restrictions on its ability to pay dividends, primarily that the prior written approval of the Superintendent is required if the total of all dividends declared in any calendar year exceeds the total of United Bank’s net earnings of that year combined with its retained net earnings of the preceding two years, less any required transfers to surplus. United Bank is subject to restrictions under Alabama law which also prohibits any dividends from being made from surplus without the Superintendent’s prior written approval and the general restriction that dividends in excess of 90% of United Bank's net earnings (as defined by statute), may not be declared or paid unless United Bank's surplus is at least equal to 20% of its capital. United Bank’s surplus is significantly in excess of 20% of its capital. Federal bank regulatory agencies also have the general authority to limit the dividends paid by insured banks and bank holding companies if such payment is deemed to constitute an unsafe and unsound practice. Federal law provides that no dividends may be paid which would render the Bank undercapitalized. United Bank's ability to make funds available to the Corporation also is subject to restrictions imposed by federal law on the ability of a bank to extend credit to its parent company, to purchase the assets thereof, to issue a guarantee, acceptance or letter of credit on behalf thereof or to invest in the stock or securities thereof or to take such stock or securities as collateral for loans to any borrower. By agreement with its primary regulators, consistent with the Bank’s determination to preserve capital, payments of dividends by the Bank to the Corporation are currently subject to prior review of the Alabama State Banking Department.

When the Corporation received a capital investment from the United States Department of the Treasury (“the Treasury”) under the Troubled Assets Relief Program ("TARP") Capital Purchase Program on December 23, 2008 (see Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements), the Corporation became subject to additional limitations on the payment of dividends. These limitations require, among other things, that (i) all dividends related to the securities purchased under the TARP Capital Purchase Program be paid before other dividends can be paid and (ii) the Treasury must approve any increases in common stock dividends for three years following the Treasury's investment, unless Treasury’s investment is redeemed prior thereto. On September 3, 2010, as part of the Community Development Capital Initiative (“CDCI”) established by the Treasury, the Corporation exchanged the preferred shares issued to the Treasury on December 23, 2008 pursuant to the Corporation’s participation in the TARP Capital Purchase Program for preferred shares issued pursuant to the CDCI. The limitations under the TARP Capital Purchase Program described above remain in effect under the CDCI.

The Bank is also subject to the requirements of the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 ("CRA"). The CRA and the regulations implementing the CRA are intended to encourage regulated financial institutions to help meet the credit needs of their local community, including low and moderate-income neighborhoods, consistent with the safe and sound operation of financial institutions. The regulatory agency's assessment of the Bank's CRA record is made available to the public.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA") recapitalized the Bank Insurance Fund (“BIF”) and included numerous revised statutory provisions. FDICIA established five capital tiers for insured depository institutions: "well capitalized", "adequately capitalized”, “undercapitalized", "significantly undercapitalized", and "critically undercapitalized", as defined by regulations adopted by the Federal Reserve, the FDIC and other federal depository institution regulatory agencies. At December 31, 2010, the Bank was "adequately capitalized" and was not subject to restrictions imposed for failure to satisfy applicable capital requirements. BIF premiums for each member financial institution depend upon the risk assessment classification assigned to the institution by the FDIC.

Banking is a business that primarily depends on interest rate differentials. In general, the difference between the interest rate paid by a bank on its deposits and other borrowings and the interest rate received by the bank on its loans and securities holdings constitutes the major portion of the bank's earnings. As a result, the earnings and business of the Corporation are and will be affected by economic conditions generally, both domestic and foreign, and also by the policies of various regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over the Corporation and the Bank, especially the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve, among other functions, regulates the supply of credit and deals with general economic conditions within the United States. The instruments of monetary policy employed by the Federal Reserve for those purposes influence in various ways the overall level of investments, loans and other extensions of credit and deposits and the interest rates paid on liabilities and received on assets.

The enactment of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Financial Services Modernization Act (the ”GLB Act”) on November 12, 1999 represented an important development in the powers of banks and their competitors in the financial services industry by removing many of the barriers between commercial banking, investment banking, securities brokerages and insurance. Inter-affiliation of many of these formerly separated businesses is now common. The GLB Act includes significant provisions regarding the privacy of financial information. These financial privacy provisions generally require a financial institution to adopt a privacy policy regarding its practices for sharing nonpublic personal information and to disclose such policy to their customers, both at the time the customer relationship is established and at least annually during the relationship. These provisions also prohibit the Corporation from disclosing nonpublic personal financial information to third parties unless customers have the opportunity to opt out of the disclosure.

On October 26, 2001, President Bush signed into law the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (the “USA Patriot Act”). Among its provisions, the USA Patriot Act requires each financial institution: (i) to establish an anti-money laundering program, (ii) to establish due diligence policies, procedures and controls with respect to its private banking accounts and correspondent banking accounts involving foreign individuals and certain foreign banks and (iii) to avoid establishing, maintaining, administering, or managing correspondent accounts in the United States for, or on behalf of, a foreign bank that does not have a physical presence in any country. In addition, the USA Patriot Act contains a provision encouraging cooperation among financial institutions, regulatory authorities and law enforcement authorities with respect to individuals, entities and organizations engaged in, or reasonably suspected of engaging in, terrorist acts or money laundering activities. The USA Patriot Act has not had a significant impact on the financial condition or results of operations of the Corporation.

In July 2002 the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the "SOA") was enacted. The SOA established many new operational and disclosure requirements, with the stated goals of, among other things, increasing corporate responsibility and protecting investors by improving corporate disclosures. The SOA applies generally to companies that file periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"). As an Exchange Act reporting company, the Corporation is subject to some SOA provisions. Other SOA requirements apply only to companies which, unlike the Corporation, have stock traded on a national stock exchange or the NASDAQ.

In 2006, federal deposit insurance reform legislation was enacted that (i) required the FDIC to merge the Bank Insurance Fund and the Savings Association Insurance Fund into a newly created Deposit Insurance Fund; (ii) increased the amount of deposit insurance coverage for retirement accounts; (iii) allowed for deposit insurance coverage on individual accounts to be indexed for inflation starting in 2010; (iv) provided the FDIC more flexibility in setting and imposing deposit insurance assessments; and (v) provided eligible institutions credits on future assessments.

Through the Troubled Asset Relief Program (the “TARP”), the Treasury has the ability to purchase or insure up to $700 billion in troubled assets held by financial institutions. On October 14, 2008, the Treasury announced it would use up to $350 billion of these funds to purchase equity stakes in financial institutions under a Capital Purchase Program (the “CPP”). As such, the CPP provides direct equity investment of perpetual preferred stock by the Treasury in qualified financial institutions. The program is voluntary and requires an institution to comply with a number of restrictions and provisions, including limits on executive compensation, stock redemptions and declaration of dividends. For publicly traded companies, the CPP also requires the Treasury to receive warrants for common stock equal to 15% of the capital invested by the Treasury. The Corporation applied for and received $10.3 million in the CPP.

As a participant in the CPP and subsequently the CDCI programs, the Corporation is subject to compensation and corporate governance standards and restrictions under applicable legislation and Treasury regulations, which include but are not limited to (1) restrictions on bonus, incentive and retention awards, (2) a prohibition on severance and change-in-control payments to the Corporation’s executive officers and next five most highly-compensated employees, (3) ensuring that the Corporation’s compensation programs do not encourage unnecessary and excessive risks, (4) requiring the recovery or “clawback” of any incentive compensation paid to the Corporation’s executive officers and next 20 most highly-compensated employees if it is later determined that such payments were based on materially inaccurate financial or other performance criteria, (5) a prohibition on tax gross-ups paid to the Corporation’s executive officers and next 20 most highly-compensated employees (6) adoption of an excessive or luxury expenditures policy, and (7) certifications as to various matters by the Corporation’s CEO and CFO.

On October 22, 2009, the Federal Reserve issued a comprehensive proposal on incentive compensation policies (the "Incentive Compensation Proposal") intended to ensure that incentive compensation policies of banking organizations don't undermine the safety and soundness of such organizations by encouraging excessive risk-taking. The Incentive Compensation Proposal, which covers all employees that have the ability to materially affect the risk profile of an organization, either individually or as part of a group, is based upon the key principles that a banking organization's incentive compensation arrangement should (i) provide incentives that do not encourage risk-taking beyond the organization's ability to effectively identify and manage risks, (ii) be compatible with effective internal controls and risk management, and (iii) be supported by strong corporate governance, including active and effective oversight by the organization's board of directors. Banking organizations were instructed to begin an immediate review of their incentive compensation policies to ensure that they do not encourage excessive risk-taking and implement corrective programs as needed.

The Federal Reserve reviews, as part of the regular, risk-focused examination process, the incentive compensation arrangements of banking organizations, such as the Corporation. These reviews aretailored to each organization based on the scope and complexity of the organization's activities and the prevalence of incentive compensation arrangements. The findings of the supervisory initiatives are included in reports of examination. Deficiencies are incorporated into the organization's supervisory ratings, which can affect the organization's ability to make acquisitions and take other actions. Enforcement actions may be taken against a banking organization if its incentive compensation arrangements, or related risk-management control or governance processes, pose a risk to the organization's safety and soundness and the organization is not taking prompt and effective measures to correct the deficiencies.

In addition, on January 12, 2010, the FDIC announced that it would seek public comment on whether banks with compensation plans that encourage risky behavior should be charged at higher deposit assessment rates than such banks would otherwise be charged.

On July 21, 2010, President Obama signed the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act into law. The Dodd-Frank Act will have a broad impact on the financial services industry, imposing significant regulatory and compliance changes, including the designation of certain financial companies as systemically significant, the imposition of increased capital, leverage, and liquidity requirements, and numerous other provisions designed to improve supervision and oversight of, and strengthen safety and soundness within, the financial services sector. Additionally, the Dodd-Frank Act establishes a new framework of authority to conduct systemic risk oversight within the financial system to be distributed among new and existing federal regulatory agencies, including the Financial Stability Oversight Council (“Council”), the Federal Reserve, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, and the FDIC.

The following items provide a brief description of certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act that may affect the Corporation.

The Dodd-Frank Act made permanent the general $250,000 deposit insurance limit for insured deposits. The Dodd-Frank Act also extended until January 1, 2013, federal deposit coverage for the full net amount held by depositors in non-interest bearing transaction accounts. Amendments to the FDIC Act also revised the assessment base against which an insured depository institution’s deposit insurance premiums paid to DIF will be calculated. Under the amendments, the assessment base would no longer be the institution’s deposit base, but would become its average consolidated total assets less its average tangible equity. Additionally, the Dodd-Frank Act changed the minimum designated reserve ratio of the DIF. The minimum reserve ratio increased from 1.15 percent to 1.35 percent of the estimated amount of total insured deposits, and eliminated the requirement that the FDIC pay dividends to depository institutions when the reserve ratio exceeds certain thresholds. Several of these provisions could increase the FDIC deposit insurance premiums paid by the Bank.

The Dodd-Frank Act authorized the establishment of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“the CFPB”), which was given the power to issue rules governing all financial institutions that offer financial services and products to consumers. The CFPB was also given the authority to monitor markets for consumer financial products to ensure that consumers would be protected from abusive practices. Financial institutions expect to be subject to increased compliance and enforcement costs associated with regulations established by the CFPB.

The Dodd-Frank Act addressed many investor protection, corporate governance and executive compensation matters that may affect most U.S. registered companies. The Dodd-Frank Act (1) granted stockholders of U.S. publicly traded companies an advisory vote on executive compensation; (2) enhanced independence requirements for compensation committee members; (3) required companies listed on national securities exchanges to adopt incentive-based compensation clawback policies for executive officers; (4) provided the SEC with authority to adopt proxy access rules that would allow stockholders of publicly traded companies to nominate candidates for election as a director and have those nominees included in a company’s proxy materials; (5) prohibited uninstructed broker votes on election of directors, executive compensation matters (including say on pay advisory votes), and other significant matters, and (6) required disclosure on board leadership structure

Many of the requirements of the Dodd-Frank Act will be implemented over time and most will be subject to regulations implemented over the course of several years. Given the uncertainty associated with the manner in which the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act will be implemented by the various regulatory agencies and through regulations, the full extent of the impact such requirements will have on the Corporation is unclear. The changes resulting from the Dodd-Frank Act may impact the profitability of business activities, require changes to certain business practices, impose more stringent capital, liquidity and leverage requirements or otherwise adversely affect the Corporation. These changes may also require the Corporation to invest significant management attention and resources to evaluate and make any changes necessary to comply with new statutory and regulatory requirements. Failure to comply with the new requirements may negatively impact the results of operations and financial condition of the Corporation.

In 2010 the Treasury initiated the CDCI Program for bank holding companies, savings and loan holding companies and stand alone thrifts and banks that have been certified by the Treasury as Community Development Financial Institutions (“CDFI”). To be certified as a CDFI, a financial institution must demonstrate that it serves an eligible target market and that at least 60% of its activities are directed to that target market. A target market may consist of one or more of the following: i) an investment area, ii) a low income targeted population, or iii) another targeted population. An example of an investment area would be a state, county, census tract, etc. that has at least one of the following: i) a population poverty rate of at least 20%, ii) for a metropolitan area, an unemployment rate at least 1.5 times the national average, iii) a median family income at or below 80% of the metropolitan area’s or national metropolitan family income, iv) for counties outside of a metropolitan area, a county population loss during the period between the two most recent decennial censuses, or v) for counties outside of a metropolitan area, net migration loss during the 5-year period preceding the most recent decennial census of at least 5%. A qualifying financial institution may be eligible to apply for a CDCI capital investment of up to 5% of its total risk weighted assets (less any outstanding amount of CPP funding). If a financial institution has existing CPP funding, it may exchange that funding for CDCI funding. CDCI funding is in the form of preferred stock which will receive tier 1 capital treatment. The initial dividend rate is 2% and will increase to 9% after eight years. No additional warrants will be required. The financial institution will continue to be subject to the executive compensation restrictions of the TARP. In 2010 the Corporation applied for certification and was certified as a CDFI. As discussed above, the Treasury exchanged its CPP preferred shares for CDCI preferred shares in September of 2010.

New regulations and statutes are regularly proposed that contain wide-ranging proposals for altering the structures, regulations, and competitive relationships of the nation's financial institutions. The Corporation cannot predict whether or in what form any proposed regulation or statute will be adopted or the extent to which the Bank’s business may be affected by any new regulation or statute

Investments - The investment policy of United Bank provides that funds not otherwise needed to meet the loan demand of United Bank's market area can best be invested to earn maximum return for the Bank, yet still maintain sufficient liquidity to meet fluctuations in the Bank's loan demand and deposit structure. The Bank has identified that it will maintain a core investment portfolio, not needed to meet liquidity requirements, which will be accounted for as Held-to Maturity and, under this accounting, will reduce the volatility of total capital. The Bank will establish limits as to the holdings in this portfolio. At the time of purchase, the Bank designates whether a particular security will be accounted for as Held-to-Maturity or Available-for-Sale. The ratio of total loans to deposits as of December 31, 2010 was 62.77%. Growth in the loan portfolio is impacted by among other things, general economic conditions, the ability to accurately determine the current and future value of collateral and the availability of loans meeting the Bank's credit quality standards. Management expects that funding for any growth in the loan portfolio would come from deposit growth and reallocation of liquid funds or maturing investments.

Securities Portfolio - The Bank's investment policy, as approved by the Board of Directors, dictates approved types of securities and the conditions under which they may be held. Attention is paid to the maturity and risks associated with each investment. The distribution reflected in the tables below could vary with economic conditions, which could shorten or lengthen maturities. Management believes the level of credit and interest rate risks inherent in the securities portfolio is low.

The following table sets forth the distribution of contractual maturities of investment securities available for sale and their associated yields:

Relative Lending Risk - United Bank serves both rural and suburban markets. The rural market is composed primarily of lower to middle income families. The rural market economy is heavily influenced by timber and agricultural production. The suburban market is faster growing, more commercial and is composed of a higher income mix than the rural market. The Bank's loan portfolio mix is reflective of these markets. As of December 31, 2010, the Bank's ratio of loans to assets of 54.93% was lower than its peer banks serving similar markets (65.78%).

The risks associated with the Bank's lending are primarily 1) credit risks from economic conditions and concentrations of a loans secured by particular types of collateral or in a particular geographic area and 2) interest rate risk.

Small banks located in one community experience a much higher risk due to the dependence on the economic viability of that single community. United Bank is more geographically diverse than some of its local community banking competitors. With offices in fifteen communities, risks associated with the effects of major economic disruptions in one community are somewhat mitigated. This geographic diversity affects all types of loans and plays a part in the Bank's risk management.

One component of the management of interest rate risk regards the maturity distribution of the loan portfolio and method of pricing. The Bank's loan maturity distribution reflects 39.5% of the portfolio maturing in one year or less. In addition, 32.61% of all loans float with an interest rate index. The maturity distribution and floating rate loans are a component of interest rate risk management that helps protect the Bank from unexpected interest rate fluctuations.

Credit risk results from the inability of the borrower to repay the principal and interest on the loan. This inability could result from loss of employment, reduction in liquidity from adverse market movements or adverse changes in the cash flow from the business being financed.

The majority of all types of loans offered by the Bank are collateralized. Concentrations in loans secured by a particular type of collateral increase the Bank’s exposure to reductions in value of that collateral type. Additionally, the ability to accurately determine the value of any collateral currently, and over time, has an impact on the management of the portfolio of loans.

Loan concentrations present different risk profiles depending on the type of loan. Regardless of the type of loan, the repayment ability of the borrower and the value of any collateral are important considerations in a loan decision. The loan policy, as approved by the Board of Directors of the Bank, establishes collateral guidelines for each type of loan.

Each type of loan exhibits unique profiles of risk that could threaten repayment.

Commercial lending requires an understanding of the customers' business and financial performance. The Bank's commercial customers are primarily small to middle market enterprises. The larger commercial accounts are managed by Senior Commercial lenders. Risks in this category are primarily economic. Shifts in local and regional conditions could have an effect on individual borrowers; but as previously mentioned, the Bank attempts to spread this risk by serving multiple communities. As with the other categories, these loans are typically collateralized by assets of the borrower. In most situations, the personal assets of the business owners also collateralize the credit.

Agricultural lending is a specialized type of lending for the Bank. Due to the unique characteristics in this type of loan, the Bank has loan officers dedicated to this market. Collateral valuation and the experience of the borrower play heavily into the approval process. This loan category includes financing equipment, crop production, timber, dairy operations and others. Given the broad range of loans offered, it is difficult to generalize risks in agricultural lending. The area of greatest attention and risk is crop production loans. Risks associated with catastrophic crop losses are mitigated by crop insurance, government support programs, experience of the borrower, collateral other than the crop and the borrower's other financial resources. Routine visitations and contact with the borrower help inform the Bank about crop conditions.

Real estate loans, whether they are construction or mortgage, historically have had lower delinquency rates than other types of loans in the portfolio. This is no longer the case with the change in the real estate market. The Bank makes very few long term, fixed rate mortgage loans; however, it does offer loans with repayment terms based on amortization of up to 30 years with balloon payments of principal at a shorter term, such as three or five years. The Bank also offers several different long-term mortgage programs provided by third party processors.

Installment loans are generally collateralized. Given the small dollar exposure on each loan, the risk of a significant loss on any one credit is limited. Pricing and close monitoring of past due loans enhance the Bank's returns from this type of loan and minimize risks.

The average size loan in the loan portfolio at December 31, 2010 was $60,750, a decrease of $2,104 from the 2009 level of $62,854.

Impaired Loans - Management considers a loan to be impaired when it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. When a loan is considered impaired, the amount of impairment is measured based on the net present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the note's effective interest rate, or, if the loan is collateral-dependent, the fair value of the collateral is used to determine the amount of impairment. Impaired loans are covered by the allowance for loan losses through a charge to the provision for loan losses. Subsequent recoveries are added to the allowance. Because of the severe economic downturn and the effect on borrowers’ ability to pay and collateral values, the Bank expanded the scope of its analysis of the loan portfolio beginning in 2009. At December 31, 2010, the Bank identified 39 impaired loans (as defined by FASB ASC 310) aggregating $21,600,559, compared with 66 impaired loans aggregating $49,039,811 as of December 31, 2009. Of the loans identified as impaired as of December 31, 2010, specific reserves in the amount of $2,275,207 were allocated.

Because of the severe economic downturn and the effect on borrowers’ ability to pay and collateral values, the Bank expanded the scope of its analysis of the loan portfolio during the fourth quarter of 2009. As a result the amount of impaired loans increased from $20,683,163 as of September 30, 2009 to $49,039,811 as of December 31, 2009. During the fourth quarter of 2010, $17,407,139 of impaired loans was removed from the impaired loan list due to improved financial performance throughout 2010.

Of the loans impaired as of December 31, 2009 approximately $4,179,000 was charged off against the allowance, $3,120,000 was foreclosed and recorded as ORE, and $3,600,000 was repaid. The remainder was not considered impaired in the 2010 analysis.

Non-performing Assets - Under the Corporation's nonaccrual policy, a loan is placed on nonaccrual status when the ability to collect the principal and interest is in doubt or when principal and interest is 90 days or more past due, unless, after analysis, it is determined that the interest is well secured and in the process of collection. Credit cards continue to accrue interest.

The following table sets forth the Corporation's non-performing assets at December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008 (dollars in thousands).

	Total	$	28,630	$	28,471	$	21,358

If nonaccrual loans in (A) above had been current throughout their term, interest income would have been increased by $857,222, $968,048 and $862,019 for 2010, 2009, and 2008 respectively. All of the assets in (D) above at the end of 2010, 2009, and 2008 were other real estate owned (ORE).

There may be additional loans in the Bank's portfolio that may become classified or impaired as conditions continue to change. Regulatory examiners may require the Bank to recognize additions to the allowance based upon their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination.

Loan Concentrations - On December 31, 2010, the Bank had $42,903,692 of agriculture related loans as compared to $43,957,653 and $47,599,289 in 2009 and 2008, respectively. Real estate construction and 1-4 family residential mortgage loans were $36,825,855 and $58,342,993 respectively in 2010, $49,321,129 and $55,820,121 respectively in 2009 and $52,649,854 and $52,676,766 respectively in 2008.

Allowance for Loan Losses - The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level which, in management's opinion, is appropriate to provide for estimated losses in the portfolio at the balance sheet date. Factors considered in determining the adequacy of the allowance include historical loan loss experience, the amount and trend of past due loans, loans classified from the most recent regulatory examinations and internal reviews, general economic conditions, the effect of lending policies and effectiveness of management and the current portfolio mix including concentrations. The amount charged to the provision is that amount necessary to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level indicative of the associated risk, as determined by management, of the current portfolio.

The allowance for loan losses consists of two portions: the impaired portion and the non-impaired portion. The impaired portion is based on identified problem loans. Specific loss estimate amounts are included in the allowance based on an evaluation of the individual credits. Any loan categorized loss is charged off in the period which the loan is so categorized.

The non-impaired portion of the allowance is for probable inherent losses which exist as of the evaluation date even though they may not have been identified by the more objective processes for the impaired portion of the allowance. This is due to the risk of error and inherent imprecision in the process. This portion of the allowance is particularly subjective and requires judgments based upon qualitative factors, which do not lend themselves to exact mathematical calculations. Some of the factors considered are changes in credit concentrations, loan mix, historical loss experience, experience of loan management, effects of lending policies and general economic environment in the Corporation's markets. As mentioned above in Impaired Loans, the Bank responded to the severity of the economic downturn by expanding the scope of its analysis of the loan portfolio.

In the fourth quarter of 2010, the Corporation began to segment the loan portfolio by type of loan for analysis and to compute the needed reserve on non-impaired loans based on historical charge off performance for each segment. This will result in more precise information on these segments. This will also aid in identification of areas or segments requiring more attention. The effect on the calculated level of the reserve will be in direct proportion to the loss rate and volume of those sectors with loss rate histories either higher or lower than the average loss rate for the portfolio as a whole. In the case of the Corporation, balances outstanding on the segments with high loss rates, such as construction and land loans, have declined. The change has resulted in the reduction of approximately $400,000 in the level of reserves needed for non-impaired loans. In comparing the reserves not allocated to impaired loans as a percentage of total loans less impaired loans at December 31, 2010 and 2009, the percentage increased by 0.10% to 1.10% primarily because total loans declined by $21,575,000 between December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2010.

As of December 31, 2010, the allowance for loan losses allocated to impaired loans was approximately $2,275,000 and the amount allocated to non-impaired loans was approximately $2,865,000, or 1.10% of total loans less impaired loans.

As of December 31, 2009, the allowance for loan losses allocated to impaired loans was approximately $5,062,000 and the amount allocated to non-impaired loans was approximately $2,373,000, or 1.00% of total loans less impaired loans.

While the total allowance is described as consisting of a impaired and a non-impaired portion, these terms are primarily used to describe a process. Both portions are available to support inherent losses in the loan portfolio. Management realizes that general economic trends greatly affect loan losses, and no assurances can be made that future charges to the allowance for loan losses will not be significant in relation to the amount provided during a particular period, or that future evaluations of the loan portfolio based on conditions then prevailing will not require sizable charges to income. Management does, however, consider the allowance for loan losses to be appropriate for the reported periods. The Corporation has allocated proportionately the non-impaired portion of the allowance to the individual loan categories for purposes of the loan loss allowance table below.

Management believes that the allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2010 is appropriate given past experience and the underlying strength of the loan portfolio.

The table below reflects an allocation of the allowance for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008. The allocation represents an estimate for each category of loans based upon historical experience and management's judgment and impairment evaluation.

At December 31, 2010 the majority of the allowance for loan loss was allocated to construction and land loans and commercial real estate loans. As discussed above, these loans were dealt with through charge off, foreclosure or collection during 2010. After detailed analysis, the loans identified as impaired at December 31, 2010 and the related reserves were classified as indicated on the above table.

Delinquent Loan Policy - Installment loans are placed on nonaccrual when the loan is three payments past due. Single-date maturity notes are placed on nonaccrual status when such notes are delinquent for 90 days. Delinquent commercial loans are placed on nonaccrual status when the loan is 90 days past due or when it is determined that it is doubtful that the borrower has the capacity to pay interest. After analysis and review, a loan that is 90 days past due may return to accrual status if collection of interest is well secured. Exceptions may be made where there are extenuating circumstances, but any exception is subject to review by the Board of Directors of the Bank.

Loans are considered delinquent if payments of principal or interest have not been made by the end of periods ranging from one to ten days after the due date, depending upon the type of loan involved. Installment loans are considered delinquent if payments of principal and interest are past due for a period of ten days and commercial loans are considered delinquent if payments of principal and interest are past due for a period of one day. Single-date maturity loans are considered delinquent if payments are not made by the day following the due date of such loans.

Loans are reviewed for charge offs, as necessary, on a monthly basis. If necessary, loans can be charged off at any time with the approval of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO). The loan officer responsible for the particular loan initiates the charge off request which is reviewed by the Special Assets Officer and the Special Assets Committee. A recommendation is then made for approval by the CEO. All charged off loans are reviewed by the Board of Directors of the Bank at the monthly board meeting.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

The following discusses risks that management believes could have a negative impact on the Corporation’s financial performance. When analyzing an investment in the Corporation, the risks and uncertainties described below, together with all of the other information included or incorporated by reference in this report should be carefully considered. The risk factors relate primarily to the commercial banking operations of the Bank. This list should not be viewed as comprehensive and may not include all risks that may affect the financial performance of the Corporation:

Capital Risk

The Corporation is required by federal and state regulatory authorities to maintain adequate levels of capital to support its operations. The Corporation anticipates that capital resources will satisfy these requirements in the near term. However, the Corporation may need to raise additional capital to support growth or for other needs. The ability to raise additional capital, if needed, will depend on conditions in the capital markets at that time, which are beyond the Corporation’s control, as well as on the Corporation current and anticipated financial performance. Accordingly, there can be no assurances as to the Corporation’s ability to raise additional capital, if needed, on favorable terms or at all. In the event the Corporation is unable to raise capital when needed, its ability to further expand operations through internal capital generation (net earnings) and acquisitions could be impeded. In this case or should the Corporation identify a need for additional capital or a need to preserve capital, a reduction in or suspension of the dividend may be advisable.

The Corporation is a participant in the Community Development Capital Initiative (CDCI) from the United States Treasury. The Corporation was initially a participant in the Capital Purchase Program (CPP) of the United States Treasury. Under this program, the Corporation sold to the Treasury, preferred shares and a warrant that is convertible into common stock of the Corporation. Should the common stock warrants be converted, the impact of the conversion would be a dilutive effect on the current shareholders and would result in an additional 107,193 shares being issued representing 4.49% of the 2,389,127 outstanding at December 31, 2010. When the Corporation received a capital investment from the United States Department of the Treasury under the Troubled Assets Relief Program ("TARP") Capital Purchase Program on December 23, 2008 (see Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements), the Corporation became subject to additional limitations on the payment of dividends. These limitations require, among other things, that (i) all dividends Related to the securities purchased under the TARP Capital Purchase Program be paid before other dividends can be paid and (ii) the Treasury must approve any increases in common dividends for three years following the Treasury's investment. In 2010 the Corporation was certified as a Community Development Financial Institution and was then eligible to participate in the CDCI program. In September of 2010, the CPP preferred shares were exchanged for CDCI preferred shares. The only differences in the two programs are that the dividend rate on the CDCI preferred shares is 2% (a decrease from 5% for the CPP preferred shares) and the time period until the dividend rate increases to 9% was extended by five years. Additionally, the Corporation must remain certified as a CDFI. The other terms and restrictions of the TARP Program remain in place.

Interest Rate

The Bank’s profitability is largely a function of the spread between the interest rates earned on earning assets and the interest rates paid on deposits and other interest-bearing liabilities. Like most financial institutions, the Bank’s net interest income and margin will be affected by general economic conditions, fiscal and monetary policies of the Federal government that influence market interest rates, the Bank’s ability to respond to changes in such rates and other factors that determine the level and direction of movement of interest rates. At any given time, the Bank’s assets and liabilities may be so positioned that they are affected differently by a change in the level or direction of interest rates. As a result, an increase or decrease in rates, loan terms, the mix of adjustable- and fixed-rate loans or investment securities in the Bank’s portfolio or the shape of the yield curve could have a positive or negative effect on its net income, capital and liquidity. Although management believes it has implemented strategies and guidelines to reduce the potential effects of changes in interest rates on results of operations, any precipitous, substantial and/or prolonged change in market interest rates could adversely affect operating results.

*Information pertains to the Bank only

As evidenced in the table, the Corporation is more interest rate sensitive in an increasing rate environment. A 200 basis point decline in prevailing market interest rates, such as the prime rate, would cause a 1.34% decline in net interest income; while a similar increase in interest rates would yield a 8.24% increase in net interest income. The comparable sensitivities at the end of 2009 were a decline in net interest income of 6.87% in a 200 basis point decline and an increase of 10.21% in a similar increase of rates. This effect is due to the Corporation’s mix of variable and fixed rate loans, investment portfolio, interest bearing deposits, and borrowed funds. The Corporation's sensitivity to changes in interest rates in conjunction with the structure of interest rate spreads determines the impact of change in interest rates on the Bank's performance.

Credit Risk

As a lender, the Bank is exposed to the risk that its borrowers may be unable to repay their loans and that any collateral securing the payment of their loans may not be sufficient to assure repayment in full. Credit losses are inherent in the lending business and could have a material adverse effect on the operating results of the Bank. Adverse changes in the economy or business conditions, either nationally or in the Bank’s market areas, could increase credit related losses or related expenses and/or limit growth. Substantially all of the Bank’s loans are to businesses and individuals in a limited geographic area and any economic decline in this local market could impact the Bank adversely. The Bank makes various assumptions and judgments about the collectability of its loan portfolio and provides an allowance for loan losses based on a number of factors. If these assumptions are incorrect, the allowance for loan losses may not be sufficient to cover losses, thereby having an adverse effect on operating results, and may cause the Bank to increase the allowance in the future by increasing the provision for loan losses. The Bank has adopted credit policies which when combined with underwriting and credit monitoring procedures produce a process that management believes is appropriate to control these risks. Such policies and procedures may not prevent unexpected losses that could have a material adverse affect on the Bank’s financial condition and/or results of operations. See “PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES” in Item 7 and “Summary of Loan Loss Experience” and “Allowance for Loan Losses” in Item 1.

Competition

The financial services industry is highly competitive. Competition for attracting and retaining deposits and attracting desirable loans comes from a wide array of financial companies, such as other banks, savings institutions, credit unions, mutual fund companies, insurance companies and, increasingly, other non-bank businesses. Some of the Bank’s competitors are much larger in terms of total assets and market capitalization, have a higher lending limit, and have greater access to capital and funding. The presence of one or more aggressive competitors in the Bank’s market area could have an adverse affect on the Bank’s financial condition and/or results of operations by increasing the cost of deposits, reducing the rates on loans or limiting access to quality borrowers. See “Competition” in Item 1.

Government Regulation and Supervision

The banking industry is heavily regulated under both federal and state law. Banking regulations, designed primarily for the safety of depositors, may limit a financial institution’s growth and the return to its investors, by restricting such activities as the payment of dividends, mergers with or acquisitions by other institutions, expansion of branch offices and the offering of securities. The Bank is also subject to capitalization guidelines established by federal law and could be subject to enforcement actions to the extent that its subsidiary bank is found, by regulatory examiners, to be undercapitalized. In 2009 discussions with its principal regulators capital and other benchmarks were agreed upon, as well as reporting with respect to those benchmarks, and the Bank agreed consistent with its earlier determination to suspend cash dividends to preserve capital and to consult with the Alabama State Banking Department prior to the payment of any cash dividend. The agreed upon benchmarks are consistent with those already established by the Bank. It is not possible to predict what changes, if any, will be made to existing federal and state legislation and regulations or the effect that such changes may have on the Bank’s future business and earnings prospects. Any substantial changes to applicable laws or regulations could also subject the Bank to additional costs, limit the types of financial services and products it may offer, and inhibit its ability to compete with other financial service providers. As a participant in the Treasury’s Community Development Capital Initiative, the Corporation is subject to potential additional regulations regarding executive compensation and any additional items as may be required in the future. See “Supervision, Regulation and Government Policy” in Item 1.

Attracting and Retaining Skilled Personnel

Attracting and retaining key personnel is critical to the Bank’s success, and difficulty finding qualified personnel could have a significant impact on the Bank’s business due to the lack of required skill sets and years of industry experience.

Local Economic Conditions

The Bank’s success depends primarily on the general economic conditions of the specific local markets in which the Bank operates. Unlike larger national or other regional banks that are more geographically diversified, the Bank provides banking and financial services to customers primarily in Escambia, Monroe, and Baldwin County, Alabama, and Santa Rosa County, Florida. The local economic conditions in these areas have a significant impact on the demand for the Bank’s products and services as well as the ability of the Bank’s customers to repay loans, the value of the collateral securing loans and the stability of the Bank’s deposit funding sources. A significant decline in general economic conditions, caused by inflation, recession, acts of terrorism, outbreak of hostilities or other international or domestic occurrences, unemployment, changes in securities markets or other factors could impact those local economic conditions and, in turn, have a material adverse effect on the Bank’s financial condition and results of operations. Deterioration of local economic conditions could also pose down side risks to the fair value of the Bank’s assets. See “Relative Lending Risk” in Item 1.

Growth Strategy

The Bank completed its previously discussed planned expansion in 2008 with the completion of its Loxley, AL retail branch. There can be no assurance that the Bank can expand its market presence or earning assets in its locations to the degree needed to overcome the added expense of operating the new locations.

Severe Weather, Natural Disasters, Acts of War or Terrorism And Other External Events Could Significantly Impact The Corporations Business

Severe weather, natural disasters, acts of war or terrorism and other adverse external events could have a significant impact on the Bank’s ability to conduct business. Such events could affect the stability of the Bank’s deposit base, restrict the ability of borrowers to repay outstanding loans, impair the value of collateral securing loans, cause significant property damage, result in loss of revenue and/or cause the Bank to incur additional expenses. Although management has established disaster recovery policies and procedures, the occurrence of any such event could have a material adverse effect on the Bank’s business, which, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on the Bank’s financial condition and results of operations.

Information Systems Integrity

The Bank relies on modern data, communication, and network systems to conduct ongoing operations. These systems could be vulnerable to internal and external attacks to the physical equipment or the raw data stored within these systems. Failures to maintain the integrity of one or more of these systems could threaten the Bank’s ability to serve customers in an effective and timely manner. The Bank maintains policies and procedures governing the access to and use of these systems in order to insulate the systems from any sort of security breach. However, any breach could have a material adverse effect on the financial position and future earnings of the Bank.

Technological Advancement and Implementation

The future success of the Bank is directly related to the successful implementation of new technological advancements pertaining to the banking industry. Technology continues to offer the Bank new avenues to add products for customers, as well as increase the efficiency of the Bank’s internal operations. Failure to effectively manage the implementation of emerging technology could result in the loss of existing customers or limit the Bank’s ability to attract new customers, thus putting pressure on the Bank’s financial position and future earnings.

Internal Audit and Control Risk

The Bank incorporates the use of various internal audit review and internal controls to minimize the Bank’s exposure to material financial misstatement or fraudulent activity. Despite the presence of these systems, the Bank is exposed to the inherent risks that are present in any similar environment, including risks that a control, or controls, could be circumvented. The Bank attempts to revise its internal audit procedures and controls as its operations evolve. However rigorously the Bank undertakes its pursuit of internal controls, this process can only provide reasonable assurance that the Bank’s financial reporting doesn’t include material misstatement.

Industry Conditions

After the large declines experienced in late 2008 and 2009, national economic activity began to recover slowly in 2010. The pace of growth remains erratic but positive. Real estate values have slowed their decline and in some markets have begun to stabilize. Both residential and commercial real estate values, which have an effect on the value of collateral securing some bank loans, remains particularly weak with few transactions occurring. The unemployment rate has improved, but remains high by historical standards. In summary, the national economy appears to have stabilized and to be growing slowly. The expectation is for low inflationary pressure over the next two years with constant but erratic growth. The unemployment rate, nationally, will be slow to decline, but will be consistently lower through time. A worsening of these conditions would likely exacerbate the adverse effects of these difficult market conditions on the Corporation and others in the financial services industry. In particular, the Corporation may face the following risks in connection with these events:

The Bank expects to face increased regulation of the industry, including the Dodd-Frank Act. Compliance with such regulations may increase the Bank’s costs and limit our ability to pursue business opportunities.

Regulatory changes have introduced price controls on products or services offered by the Bank. There is no assurance that the maximum price allowed under such regulation will be in excess of the Bank’s cost of providing the product or service.

Government stimulus packages and other responses to the financial crises may not stabilize the economy or financial system.

The ability to assess the creditworthiness of the Bank’s customers may be impaired if the approaches used to select, manage, and underwrite our customers become less predictive of future behaviors.

The process used to estimate losses requires difficult, subjective, and complex judgments, including forecasts of economic conditions and how these economic predictions might impair the ability of the Bank’s borrowers to repay their loans. The current economic conditions may make accurate estimation more difficult and negatively impact the reliability of this process.

The Bank may be required to pay higher Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation premiums because of its performance or because market developments significantly deplete the DIF of the FDIC and reduce the ratio of reserves to insured deposits below the statutory requirement.

The ability to engage in routine funding transactions could be adversely affected by the actions and commercial soundness of other financial institutions and government sponsored entities.

If the aforementioned current levels of market disruption and volatility continue or worsen, there can be no assurance that the Corporation will not experience an adverse effect on the Bank’s financial position and future earnings.

ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

Not applicable.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

The Corporation's bank subsidiary operates seventeen full service branches and one loan production office housed in facilities either owned or leased. The offices are located in Escambia, Baldwin and Monroe Counties in Alabama and Santa Rosa County in Florida. All land, buildings and improvements held by the Corporation were transferred as a capital investment to the Bank during 2006.

Locations in Escambia County, Alabama include: Atmore (two full service banking locations) and Flomaton.

Locations in Baldwin County, Alabama include: Foley, Lillian, Bay Minette (2 full service locations), Silverhill, Magnolia Springs, Summerdale, Loxley (a full service branch and a loan production office) and Spanish Fort.

Locations in Monroe County, Alabama include: Monroeville and Frisco City.

Locations in Santa Rosa County, Florida include: Jay, Milton and Pace.

The Bank has acquired property on which it plans to locate a full service banking location in Spanish Fort, Alabama. The development of this location has been delayed until economic conditions improve.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

There are presently no pending legal proceedings to which the Corporation or its subsidiary, United Bank, is a party or to which any of their property is subject, which management of the Corporation based upon consultation with legal counsel believes are likely to have a material adverse effect upon the financial position of the Corporation.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

No matters were submitted to a vote of the shareholders of the Corporation during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year.

PART II

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS, AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

The Corporation's authorized common shares consist of the following:

(1)

5,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, $.01 par value per share, of which 2,389,127 shares are issued and 2,325,162 are outstanding and held by approximately 864 shareholders of record, as of March 29, 2011.

(2)

250,000 shares of Class B common stock, $.01 par value per share, none of which were issued, as of March 29, 2011.

The Corporation is informed that over-the-counter market quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-ups, markdowns, or commissions and may not necessarily reflect actual transactions. Because of the extremely limited number of transactions involving the Corporation’s common stock that have been reported on the OTCBB, the Corporation believes that any reported bid or asked price may not reflect a fair valuation of its common stock.

The Corporation declared no common stock cash dividends during 2010 or 2009. The payment of dividends is subject to the earnings and financial condition of the Corporation and other relevant factors. Dividends on the Corporation’s common stock are declared and paid based on a variety of considerations by the Corporation’s Board of Directors and there can be no assurance that the Corporation will continue to pay regular dividends or as to the amount of dividends if any. The payment of dividends is also subject to limitations related to the CDCI preferred stock investment by the Treasury. Payment of future common stock cash dividends will depend upon business conditions, operating results, capital and reserve requirements and the Board’s consideration of other relevant factors. In addition, the ability of the Corporation to pay dividends is totally dependent on dividends received from its banking subsidiary (see Note 17 to the consolidated financial statements) and is subject to statutory restrictions on dividends applicable to Delaware corporations, including the restrictions that dividends generally may be paid only from a corporation’s surplus or from its net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared and the preceding year.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

INTRODUCTION

The following financial review is presented to provide an analysis of the consolidated results of operations of the Corporation and its subsidiary. This review should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included under Item 8.

OVERVIEW

This overview is a broad, high-level discussion of various financial measures addressed in detail in the following discussion and analysis. The items addressed, as such, do not have any more or less significance than the detailed discussion to follow.

United Bancorporation of Alabama, Inc. is a one-bank, bank holding company that competes in the commercial banking industry within the primary markets of Southwest Alabama and Northwest Florida. As a community bank, the Bank strives to meet the needs of the total markets it serves including, but not limited to, consumer and business banking needs, agricultural financing, mortgage products, and various insurance and investment needs.

At December 31, 2010 the Corporation had $467,220,694 of total assets, compared to $456,982,406 at December 31, 2009. Total deposits increased by $12,222,471 (3.02%) to $417,032,720, as compared to $404,810,249 at the end of 2009.

Loans at year end 2010 totaled $261,770,815, a decrease of $21,575,356 from the $283,346,171 recorded at December 31, 2009. The allowance for loan losses decreased by $2,295,511, to $5,139,998 from $7,435,509. The allowance coverage declined to 1.96% of total loans from 2.62% of total loans. The reduction in both reserves and the coverage was primarily the result of the resolution and/or charge off of loans which were specifically reserved.

Other Real Estate owned (ORE) increased to $10,163,992 at year end, 2010 from $7,610,689 at the same time in 2009. This was the result of the weakened economy and the foreclosing on several problem loans by the Bank as it continued efforts to resolve the problem credits.

The investment by the Corporation in premises and equipment at the end of 2010 was lower by $1,117,180 to $16,472,056 from $17,589,236 at the end of 2009. The Corporation did not add to its branch network during the year and this reduced the need for new purchases of equipment.

Net interest income was $14,433,179 for the year ended December 31, 2010, as compared with $13,647,585 for the year ended December 31, 2009, an increase of 5.76%. Net interest income for 2010 was higher than any year since 2006. Nonaccrual loans continued to be a drag on interest revenue. Net interest income increased in each quarter during 2010 over the prior quarter, primarily as the result of the continued lower interest rates paid on time deposits. Net interest income is discussed in more detail below under Net Interest Income.

The severe economic recession that the country experienced beginning in 2008 moderated in 2010. The amount of charge offs of loans with previously identified problems continued with charge off amounts rising to $6,878,006 in 2010 from $4,526,727 in 2009. During 2010, the level of loans declined to $261,770,815 at year end from $283,346,171 at year end 2009. After analysis of the loan portfolio, the losses, and level of loans, the needed level of the allowance was calculated resulting in a provision for the year of $4,438,000 in 2010. This is a decrease from the $8,267,561 recorded in 2009.

Noninterest income totaled $5,367,619 for 2010 as compared to $4,683,596 in 2009, an increase of $684,023 or 14.60%. Service charges and fees on deposit accounts showed a decrease of $223,238. Regulatory overdraft restrictions were partially responsible, but lower usage of this product was a major contributor. Gains recorded from disposition of investment portfolio securities were higher by $870,259 and origination fees on mortgage loans increased $198,204 in 2010. Other non interest income was lower by $161,202 primarily as the result of losses and valuation adjustments to ORE properties of $175,908.

Noninterest expense totaled $17,304,088 for the year ended December 31, 2010, as compared to $17,321,206 for the year ended December 31, 2009, a decrease of $17,118 or 0.10%. Salaries and benefits were higher by $99,487 to $8,617,345 (1.17%). Occupancy expense was lower by $199,671 as the Corporation restricted the purchase of new equipment and facilities resulting in lower depreciation. Other noninterest expense showed an increase of $83,066. Expenses over which the Corporation could exercise some control; such as advertising, donations and supplies; were lower. Included in the other expense category was a non-recurring, non-cash write-off of intangible assets in the amount of $938,000.

On a pre-tax basis, the Corporation reported a loss in 2010 of $1,941,290 as compared to the loss in 2009 of $7,257,586. Tax benefits of $1,101,432 and $3,228,241 were recognized in 2010 and 2009 respectively. The Corporation reported a net loss (prior to the payment of preferred dividends) for 2010 of $839,858 as compared to a net loss (prior to the payment of preferred dividends) of $4,029,345 for the year ended December 31, 2009. After considering the payment of preferred dividends and associated accretion of discount related to the preferred stock in the amounts of $518,442 in 2010 and $522,243 in 2009, the Net losses available to common shareholders were $1,358,300 in 2010 and $4,551,588 in 2009. Net losses on a per share basis were ($0.37) and ($1.79) for the periods ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 respectively.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and with general practices within the banking industry, which require management to make estimates and assumptions (see Note 1 to Consolidated Financial Statements).

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

Management believes that its determination of the allowance for loan losses involves a higher degree of judgment and complexity than the Bank’s other significant accounting policies. Further, these estimates can be materially impacted by changes in market conditions or the actual or perceived financial condition of the Bank’s borrowers, subjecting the Bank to significant volatility of earnings. The allowance for credit losses is established through a provision for loan losses, which is a charge against earnings. Provisions for loan losses are made to reserve for estimated probable losses on loans.

The allowance for loan losses is a significant estimate and is regularly evaluated by management for accuracy by taking into consideration factors such as changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio; trends in actual and forecasted portfolio credit quality, including delinquency, charge-off and bankruptcy rates; and current economic conditions that may affect borrowers’ ability to pay. The use of different estimates or assumptions could produce different provisions for loan losses. Because current economic conditions can change and future events are inherently difficult to predict, the anticipated amount of estimated loan losses, and therefore the appropriateness of the allowance, could change. Management believes the allowance for loan losses is appropriate and properly recorded in the financial statements. For further discussion of the allowance for loan losses, see “PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES” below, and “Summary of Loan Loss Experience” and “Allowance for Loan Losses” under “BUSINESS” above.

ESTIMATES OF FAIR VALUE

The estimation of fair value is significant to a number of the Corporation’s assets, including, but not limited to, investment securities, other real estate owned, and other repossessed assets. Investment securities available for sale are recorded at fair value while investment securities held to maturity are carried at cost. Other real estate owned and other repossessed assets are recorded at either cost or fair value, whichever is lower. Fair values for investment securities are based on quoted market prices, and if not available, quoted prices on similar instruments. The fair values of other real estate owned and repossessions are typically determined based on third-party appraisals less estimated costs to sell.

The estimation of fair value and subsequent changes of fair value of investment securities, other real estate owned, and repossessions can have a significant impact on the value of the Corporation, as well as have an impact on the recorded values and subsequently reported net income.

Changes in interest rates is the primary determining factor in the fair value of investment securities, derivatives, and the value at which these assets are reported in the Corporation’s financial statements. Local economic conditions are often the key factor in the valuation of other real estate owned and repossessed assets. Changes in these factors can cause assets to be written down and have an impact on the financial results.

(1) Income on tax-exempt obligations has been computed on a full federal tax-equivalent (FTE) basis using an income tax rate of 34% for 2010 and 2009.

Total interest income (on an FTE basis) decreased to $19,552,415 in 2010, from $21,411,086 in 2009, a decrease of $1,858,671, or 8.68%. This decrease was primarily caused by the historically low Fed Funds overnight rate which was set at 0.25% for 2010. Average loans decreased $7,746,529 while the average rate earned increased 2 basis points causing an overall decrease in interest earned on loans of $433,077. The average interest rate (FTE) earned on all earning assets in 2010 decreased to 4.60% from 4.93% in 2009. The interest margin increased to 3.49% in 2010 from 3.28% in 2009. Average taxable investment securities for 2010 were $67,353,727, as compared to $65,760,188 for 2009, an increase of $1,593,539, or 2.42%. Average tax-exempt investment securities decreased $12,116,408, or 39.62%, to $18,463,023 in 2010 from $30,579,430 in 2009. During 2010, the Corporation undertook to restructure its investment portfolio. This was done to reduce the level of tax advantaged revenue and reduce the Corporation’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates. The result was the sale of a majority of the holdings of tax free municipal securities and the reinvestment of the proceeds in slightly longer term U. S. Government and U. S. Government Agency securities. The average volume of federal funds sold and interest bearing deposits in other banks increased to $61,984,654 in 2010 from $52,734,510 in 2009, an increase of $9,250,687 or 17.54%. The increase in fed funds sold and interest bearing deposits in other banks was primarily the result of elevated levels of temporary deposits from the Bank’s largest depositor.

Total interest expense decreased $2,391,609 or 33.55%, to $4,737,423 in 2010, from $7,129,032 in 2009. This decrease was a function of the decrease in interest rates paid on deposit accounts as prevailing rates were low throughout the year. The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities in 2010 was 1.60% as compared to 2.26% in 2009. Average interest-bearing liabilities decreased to $295,648,390 in 2010, from $315,247,208 in 2009, a decrease of $19,598,817, or 6.22%. Average savings and interest-bearing demand deposits decreased $7,043,221 or 6.62% to $99,397,662 in 2010. Average time deposits decreased to $184,045,177 in 2010, from $196,591,347 in 2009, a decrease of $12,546,170, or 6.38%. The average rate paid on time deposits decreased to 2.13% in 2010 from 3.09% in 2009. The Corporation issued $10,310,000 of subordinated debentures in September of 2006 at an interest rate of LIBOR plus 1.68%. The interest rate paid on the subordinated debentures was 2.05% in 2010, a reduction from the 2.61% paid in 2009.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

The provision for loan losses is that amount necessary to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level appropriate for the associated credit risk, as determined by management in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), in the current portfolio. The provision for loan losses decreased 46.32% for the year ended December 31, 2010 to $4,438,000 as compared to $8,267,561 for the year ended December 31, 2009. The change in the provision maintains the allowance at a level that is determined to be appropriate by management and the board of directors of the Bank.

The allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2010 represents 1.96% of gross loans, as compared to 2.62% at December 31, 2009.

While it is the Bank's policy to charge off loans when a loss is considered probable, there exists the risk of losses which cannot be quantified precisely or attributed to particular loans or classes of loans. Because this risk is continually changing in response to factors beyond the control of the Bank, management's judgment as to the appropriateness of the allowance for loan losses is necessarily approximate and imprecise. Adjustments to the allowance for loan losses may also be required by the FDIC or the Alabama Superintendent of Banks in the course of their examinations of the Bank. Accordingly, no assurances can be given that continued evaluations of the loan portfolio in light of economic conditions then prevailing, results of upcoming examinations, or other factors will not require significant changes to the allowance.

NONINTEREST INCOME

	2010		2009
Service Charge Income	$	1,386,816	$	1,364,164
Nonsufficient Fund Charges, net		1,924,441		2,170,331
Mortgage Origination Fees		357,756		159,552
Investment Securities Gains, (net)		1,046,575		176,316
Other		652,031		813,233
	$	5,367,619	$	4,683,596

Total noninterest income increased $684,023 or 14.6%, to $5,367,619 in 2010, as compared to $4,683,596 in 2009.

Service Charge Income shows a small increase in 2010 as opposed to 2009. This is comprised of two parts: Service charges on deposit accounts were lower by $81,000 as account activity was lower; offsetting this decline, ATM activity fees increased by $129,000 based on increased ATM usage. NSF charges were significantly lower as the service was used less because of new restrictions on the charging of overdraft fees implemented in the third quarter of 2010. Mortgage origination fees increased as the economic decline was moderating and rates were low. The Bank had restructured its origination department in 2009 and was in a better position to aid its customers as demand for mortgage loans increased. The decrease in other income is the net result of several smaller changes. The majority of the decline is created by the loss on the disposition of ORE and valuation adjustments in ORE assets in the amount of approximately $176,000.

Net gains on the sale of investment securities increased by $871,000 as the result of the restructure of the investment portfolio. Two considerations were responsible for this action: 1) Reduction of tax free revenue so that the deferred tax asset could be more quickly utilized and, 2) Reduction of sensitivity to movements of interest rates.

The length and depth of the recession had resulted in credit related losses to the Corporation and the recording of a deferred tax asset. Lowering the amount of tax advantaged revenue will allow this to be utilized more quickly. Adjustments to economic forecasts at mid-year indicated that interest rates were not anticipated to increase for several quarters. This change was not favorable to the Corporation’s balance sheet structure. The restructure was intended to address both of these concerns. The result was to reduce tax advantages revenue and to reduce sensitivity to 1.34% of net interest income at December, 2010 (assuming a negative 200 basis point shock) from 6.87% at December, 2009.

Total	$	17,304,088	$	17,321,206

Total noninterest expense decreased $17,118, or 0.1%, to $17,304,088 in 2010 from $17,321,206 in 2009.

Salaries and other compensation expense increased $99,487, or 1.17%. Salaries added $48,000 of the difference with benefits (mainly health insurance) adding the same amount. Net occupancy expenses decreased to $2,219,242 in 2010 from $2,418,913 in 2009, a decrease of $199,671 or 8.25%. Depreciation expenses decreased by $135,459 as the Corporation slowed its capital expenditures. Repairs and maintenance were lower by $47,419 as repairs were fewer and the Corporation had renewed several contracts on favorable terms. Other expenses increased to $6,467,501 in 2010, from $6,384,435 in 2009, an increase of $83,066, or 1.30%. The expense related to FDIC insurance assessments decreased by $251,433 or 19.4% and ORE expenses were reduced by $890,000 as there was not a repeat of the 2009 ORE reserve provision of $1,032,000 in 2010. Professional fees and audit and accounting fees increased by $63,000 and $65,000 respectively as additional resources were used or anticipated to be used relative to outside loan review services and accounting reviews. Included in this category is the write off of the intangible asset associated with the Bank’s branching into Florida. The Bank had purchased the charter that was required under Florida law to branch across the state line. The passage of the Dodd-Frank Act, among other things, allowed banks to branch across state lines with no need for a charter in the target state. This necessitated the write- down of the intangible asset associated with the charter and the Corporation recorded an expense of approximately $938,000.

Basic and diluted losses per share in 2010 were ($0.37), as compared to ($1.79) in 2009. Return on average assets was (0.28%) in 2010, as compared to (0.91%) in 2009. Return on average equity was (2.36%) in 2010, as compared to (10.97%) in 2009.

Other loans		69,620		108,246
	$	261,770,815	$	283,346,171

Total loans decreased to $261,770,815 at December 31, 2010, from $283,346,171 at year end 2009, a decrease of $21,575,356, or 7.61%. The ratio of loans to deposits was 62.77% at December 31, 2010 vs. 70.00% at the same date in 2009. The decrease in the loan to deposit ratio was caused by the decrease in loans and a corresponding increase in deposits of $12 million. Of the decline noted above, resolutions of problem loans were responsible for a portion of the total decrease. Loans in the amount of $6,800,000 were charged off and loans in the amount of $4,300,000 were foreclosed and real estate transferred to ORE. The remainder was the result of repayments reducing balances in most categories of loans and these were not replaced as there was little demand for new loans in the markets served by the Bank.

LIQUIDITY

One of the Bank’s goals is to provide adequate funds to meet changes in loan demand or any potential increase in the normal level of deposit withdrawals. This goal is accomplished primarily by generating cash from operating activities and maintaining sufficient short-term assets. These sources, coupled with a stable deposit base, allow the Bank to fund earning assets and maintain the availability of funds. Management believes that the Bank’s traditional sources of maturing loans and investment securities, cash from operating activities and a strong base of core deposits are adequate to meet the Bank’s liquidity needs for normal operations. Should the Bank’s traditional sources of liquidity be constrained, forcing the Bank to pursue avenues of funding not typically used, the Bank’s net interest margin could be impacted negatively. Beginning early in 2008, Management identified that general systemic risks to liquidity and funding were beginning to be present in the marketplace. In response, the Corporation developed a liquidity plan that measured the ability to deal with expected cash flow needs and the ability to deal with a significantly more difficult environment or a stress case. The result has been that the Corporation has carried significantly higher levels of liquid assets since 2008.

Additionally, the Corporation requires cash for various operating needs including dividends to shareholders, the servicing of debt and general corporate expenses. The primary source of liquidity for the Corporation is dividends from the Bank as noted in Part I, Item 1. Business, Supervision, Regulation and Government Policy, the payment of dividends from the Bank is regulated by the Alabama State Banking Department and is dependent on earnings and credit losses. Recent earnings and loan losses create a restriction on the ability of the Bank to pay dividends. Future payments of dividends by the Bank to the Corporation will be dependent on earnings, loan losses and the approval of the Alabama State Banking Department and applicable federal regulators.

Asset and liability management functions not only serve to assure adequate liquidity in order to meet the needs of the Bank’s customers, but also to maintain an appropriate balance between interest-sensitive assets and interest-sensitive liabilities so that the Corporation can earn a return that meets the investment requirements of its shareholders. Daily monitoring of the sources and uses of funds is necessary to maintain an acceptable cash position that meets both requirements.

The asset portion of the balance sheet provides liquidity primarily through loan principal repayments, maturities of investment securities available for sale and, to a lesser extent, sales of investment securities available for sale. Other short-term investments such as federal funds sold, interest bearing deposits in other banks and securities purchased under agreements to resell, are additional sources of liquidity funding.

The liability portion of the balance sheet provides liquidity through various customers’ interest bearing and noninterest bearing deposit accounts. Federal funds purchased, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, out of market CD’s and other short-term borrowings are additional sources of liquidity. These sources of liquidity are short-term in nature and are used as necessary to fund asset growth and meet short-term liquidity needs.

The Corporation's bank subsidiary has an Asset Liability Committee, which has as its primary objective the maintenance of specific funding and investment strategies to achieve short-term and long-term financial goals.

The Corporation generates the majority of its cash flow from financing activities. Funds provided by financing activities were $11,921,658 in 2010. The investing activities of the Corporation provided $9,245,941 of cash flow, to fund the investment portfolio, loan portfolios, and the purchases of premises and equipment of the Bank. Operations provided $5,130,399 in cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2010.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Corporation has historically relied primarily on internally generated capital growth to maintain capital adequacy. The average equity to average assets ratio during 2010 was 7.46% as compared to 8.31% in 2009. Total stockholders’ equity on December 31, 2010 was $35,519,206, a decrease of $2,044,598, or 5.44%, from $37,563,804 at year end 2009. The Corporation's risk based capital of $43,955,515, or 15.14%, of risk adjusted assets at December 31, 2010, was well above the Corporation’s minimum risk based capital requirement of $23,233,016 or 8.0% of risk weighted assets.

In March of 2006, the Federal Reserve issued a final rule providing for the inclusion of Trust Preferred securities in Tier 1 risk weighted capital, up to a limit of 25% of total Tier 1 capital. These securities comprised 24.81% of the Corporation’s Tier 1 Capital as of December 31, 2010.

UNITED BANCORPORATION OF ALABAMA, INC.

AND SUBSIDIARY

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2010 and 2009

(1)	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Business

United Bancorporation of Alabama, Inc. (the Corporation) is a bank holding company whose principal activity is the ownership and management of its wholly-owned subsidiary, United Bank (the Bank). United Bank is a commercial bank with headquarters in Atmore, Alabama. The Bank provides a full range of banking services in its primary market areas of Baldwin, Escambia, and Monroe Counties, Alabama, and Santa Rosa County, Florida.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of United Bancorporation of Alabama, Inc. and United Bank, collectively referred to as the Corporation. Significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Market Concentrations

The Corporation operates primarily in one business segment, commercial banking, in Southwest Alabama and Northwest Florida.

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and revenues and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, other real estate, deferred taxes, the valuation of other than temporary impairment for investment securities, and the fair value of financial instruments.

Reclassification

Certain amounts in the 2009 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2010 presentation.

F-6

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair values of financial instruments are estimates using relevant market information and other assumptions, as more fully disclosed in Note 16. Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment. Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect the estimates.

Cash and Short-Term Investments

The Corporation considers due from banks, interest-bearing deposits in banks, and federal funds sold to be cash and short-term investments. Federal funds are generally sold for one–day periods.

Investment Securities

Investment securities are classified in one of three portfolios: (i) trading account securities, (ii) securities available for sale, or (iii) securities held to maturity. Trading account securities are stated at fair value. Investment securities available for sale are stated at fair value with any unrealized gains and losses reported in a separate component of stockholders’ equity, net of tax effect, until realized. Once realized, gains and losses on investment securities available for sale are reflected in current period earnings. Investment securities held to maturity are stated at cost adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. As of December 31, 2010, the Corporation had $68,809,000 of investment securities, or approximately 80%, classified as securities available for sale and $17,263,000, or approximately 20%, classified as securities held to maturity. As of December 31, 2009, the Corporation had $68,213,000 of investment securities, or approximately 81%, classified as securities available for sale and $15,659,000, or approximately 19%, classified as securities held to maturity.

Net gains and losses on the sale of investment securities available for sale are recorded at trade date. The net gains and losses are computed using the specific identification method and are shown separately in noninterest income in the consolidated statements of operations. Accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums are calculated on the effective interest method over the anticipated life of the security.

A decline in the fair value of any security below amortized cost that is deemed other than temporary is charged to income resulting in the establishment of a new cost basis for the security.

Restricted Equity Securities

The Corporation is required to maintain an investment in capital stock of various entities. Based on redemption provisions of these entities, the stock has no quoted market value and is carried at cost. At their discretion, these entities may declare dividends on the stock. Management reviews for impairment based on the ultimate recoverability of the cost basis in these stocks.

Loans

The accrual of interest on loans is discontinued when there is a clear indication that the borrower may not be able to meet payments as they become due, which is generally when a loan is 90 days past due. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, all previously accrued and unpaid interest is reversed. Interest income is subsequently recognized on a cash basis as long as the remaining book balance of the asset is deemed to be collectible. If collectability is questionable, then cash payments are applied to principal. A loan is placed back on accrual status when both principal and interest are current and it is probable that we will be able to collect all amounts due (both principal and interest) according to the terms of the loan agreement.

As of December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, approximately 54% and 57%, respectively, of the Corporation’s loans were commercial loans. The Corporation’s commercial customers are primarily small to middle market enterprises. The Corporation also specializes in agricultural loans, which represented approximately 16% of the Corporation’s total loans at both December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009.

F-7

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb estimated losses relating to specifically identified loans, as well as probable credit losses inherent in the balance of the loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management’s periodic review of the uncollectibility of loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, review of specific problem loans, current economic conditions that may affect the borrower's ability to pay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. This evaluation does not include the effects of expected losses on specific loans or groups of loans that are related to future events or expected changes in economic conditions. While management uses the best information available to make its evaluation, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if there are significant changes in economic conditions. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company's allowance for loan losses, and may require the Company to make additions to the allowance based on their judgment about information available to them at the time of their examinations.

The allowance may consist of specific, general and unallocated components. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as impaired. For such loans that are also classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the collateral value or observable market price of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers non-impaired loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors.

Management considers a loan to be impaired when it is probable that the Corporation will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. When a loan is considered impaired, the amount of impairment is measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate. If the loan is collateral–dependent, the fair value of the collateral is used to determine the amount of impairment. Impairment losses are included in the allowance for loan losses through a charge to the provision for loan losses. Impaired loans are charged off against the allowance when such loans are deemed to be uncollectible. Subsequent recoveries are added to the allowance.

When a loan is considered impaired, cash receipts are applied under the contractual terms of the loan agreement, first to principal and then to interest income. Once the recorded principal balance has been reduced to zero, future cash receipts are recognized as interest income, to the extent that any interest has not been recognized. Any further cash receipts are recorded as recoveries of any amount previously charged off.

A loan is also considered impaired if its terms are modified in a troubled debt restructuring. For those accruing restructuring loans, cash receipts are typically applied to principal and interest receivable in accordance with the terms of the restructured loan agreement. Interest income is recognized on these loans using the accrual method of accounting.

The ultimate ability to collect a substantial portion of the Corporation’s loan portfolio is susceptible to changes in economic and market conditions in the geographic area served by the Corporation and various other factors.

Premises and Equipment

Land is carried at cost. Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight–line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

F-8

Other Real Estate

Other real estate represents property acquired through foreclosure or deeded to the Corporation in lieu of foreclosure on real estate mortgage loans on which borrowers have defaulted. Other real estate is carried in other assets at the lower of cost or fair value, adjusted for estimated selling costs. Reductions in the balance of other real estate at the date of foreclosure are charged to the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent valuation decreases in the carrying value of other real estate as well as costs to carry other real estate are recognized as charges to noninterest expense. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Corporation had $10,163,992 and $7,610,689, respectively, in other real estate which are included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets represent purchased assets that lack physical substance but can be identified because of contractual or other legal rights. Under the provisions of FASB ASC 350, intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but instead are tested for impairment at least annually. Intangible assets that have finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives and are also subject to impairment testing. See Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further disclosures regarding intangible assets as required by this ASU.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with income tax accounting guidance (FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes). On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted the recent accounting guidance related to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, which sets out a consistent framework to determine the appropriate level of tax reserves to maintain for uncertain tax positions.

The Corporation accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

Deferred income tax expense results from changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities between periods. Deferred tax assets are recognized if it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the tax position will be realized or sustained upon examination. The term more likely than not means a likelihood of more than 50 percent; the terms examined and upon examination also include resolution of the related appeals or litigation processes, if any. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is initially and subsequently measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. The determination of whether or not a tax position has met the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold considers the facts, circumstances, and information available at the reporting date and is subject to management’s judgment. Deferred tax assets may be reduced by deferred tax liabilities and a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of evidence available, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized.

Stock Based Compensation

At December 31, 2010, the Corporation had options and other equity awards outstanding as defined by two stock-based employee compensation plans, which are described more fully in Note 13. The Corporation accounts for its stock based compensation plans under stock compensation accounting guidance (FASB ASC 718, Compensation – Stock compensation). This guidance requires that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements. That cost will be measured based on the grant date fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. The stock compensation accounting guidance covers a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements including stock options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans.

F-9

The stock compensation accounting guidance requires that compensation cost for all stock awards be calculated and recognized over the employees’ service period, generally defined as the vesting period. For awards with graded-vesting, compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award. A Black-Scholes model is used to estimate the fair value of stock options, while the market price of the Corporation’s common stock at the date of grant is used for restricted stock awards and stock grants.

Losses per Share

FASB ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, provides for the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Due to the presence of net losses in the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the adjustment related to share-based awards would be anti-dilutive and are not computed or disclosed below.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Adoption of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

During December 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2009-16 – Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality. The ASU amends Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Subtopic 310 to clarify that modifications of loans that are accounted for within a pool, as defined by Subtopic 310-30, do not result in the removal of these loans from the pool even if the modification would otherwise be considered a troubled debt restructuring. The amendments do not include loans not accounted for within pools. Loans accounted for on an individual basis continue to be subject to the troubled debt restructuring accounting provisions with ASC 310-40 Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors. The Corporation adopted the provisions of this ASU during the third quarter 2010. This amendment did not have a material impact on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements.

During January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06 – Improving Disclosures About Fair Value Measurements, which added disclosure requirements about transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2, clarified existing fair value disclosure requirements about the appropriate level of disaggregation, and clarified that a description of valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value was required for recurring and nonrecurring Level 2 and 3 fair value measurements. The Corporation adopted these provisions of the ASU in preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements for the period ended September 30, 2010. The adoption of these provisions of this ASU, which was subsequently codified into Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, only affected the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements and as a result had no impact on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements. See Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the disclosures required by this ASU.

F-10

This ASU also requires that Level 3 activity about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements of assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis be presented on a gross basis rather than as a net number, as currently permitted. This provision of the ASU is effective for the Corporation’s reporting period ending June 30, 2011. As this provision amends only the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements, the adoption will have no impact on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements.

During February 2010, the FASB updated ASU No. 2010-09, Subsequent Events (Topic 855) – Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements. This guidance amends FASB ASC Topic 855, Subsequent Events, so that issuers filing periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC filers”) no longer are required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated in originally issued and revised financial statements. SEC filers must evaluate subsequent events through the date the financial statements are issued.

During July 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-20, Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses. This guidance requires disclosures regarding loans and the allowance for loan losses that are disaggregated by portfolio segment and class of financing receivable. Required enhancements to current disclosures include a rollforward of the allowance for loans losses by portfolio segment, with the ending balance broken out by basis of impairment method, as well as the recorded investment in the respective loans. Nonaccrual and impaired loans by class must also be shown. Disclosure requirements also include: 1) credit quality indicators by class, 2) aging of past due loans by class, 3) troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) by class and their effect on the allowance for loan losses, 4) defaults on TDRs by class and their effect on the allowance for loan losses, and 5) significant purchases and sales of loans disaggregated by portfolio segment. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending on or after December 15, 2010, for end of period disclosures. Activity related disclosures are required for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010. While impacting its disclosures, this ASU did not have an impact on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements

The unrealized losses at both December 31, 2010 and 2009 were attributable to changes in market interest rates since the securities were purchased. The Corporation systematically evaluates investment securities for other-than-temporary declines in fair value on a quarterly basis. This analysis requires management to consider various factors, which include (1) duration and magnitude of the decline in value, (2) the financial condition of the issuer or issuers, (3) structure of the security and (4) the Corporation’s intent to sell the security or whether it is more likely than not that the Corporation would be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery in market value.

U.S. Treasury securities. The unrealized losses on the two investments in U.S. Treasury obligations were caused by interest rate increases. The contractual terms of those investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the amortized cost bases of the investments. Because the Corporation does not currently intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that the Corporation will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be maturity, the Corporation does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2010.

U.S. Government sponsored agencies. The unrealized losses on the seventeen investments in direct obligations of U.S. government agencies were caused by interest rate increases. The contractual terms of those investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the amortized cost bases of the investments. Because the Corporation does not currently intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that the Corporation will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be maturity, the Corporation does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2010.

States and political subdivisions. The unrealized losses associated with twenty securities issued by state and political subdivisions are primarily driven wider credit spreads and changes in interest rates. The contractual terms of those investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the amortized cost bases of the investments. Because the Corporation does not currently intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that the Corporation will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be maturity, the Corporation does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2010.

F-15

Mortgage-backed securities. The unrealized losses on the Corporation’s investment in two mortgage-backed securities were caused by interest rate increases. As the mortgaged-backed securities are obligations of GNMA and a direct obligation of the U.S. Government, the decline in market value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality. Because the Corporation does not currently intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that the Corporation will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be maturity, the Corporation does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2010.

Equity securities. The Corporation’s investment in equity securities consist a single investment in the common stock of a government sponsored enterprise. Because of the Corporation’s ability and intent to hold the investment for a reasonable period of time sufficient for a forecasted recovery of fair value, the Corporation does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2010.

The Corporation assigns a risk rating to each loan when approved. The rating categories are based on information about the ability of borrowers to service the debt. Such information includes, among other things, current financial information, payment history, credit documentation and current economic conditions. Loan Officers are expected and required to initiate recommendations for changes in assigned risk ratings according to changes in the overall levels of risk in each loan in their portfolio no less than monthly. The current risk rating will be reviewed from time to time by the Chief Credit Officer and the Special Assets Officer for concurrence. The Corporation uses the following guidelines in determining the appropriate risk rating:

Grade 1: Investment Grade – There is an absence of credit risk. Loans in this category are fully secured by United Bank certificates of deposit or savings accounts (demand deposit accounts are not eligible as collateral). The certificate should be sufficient in amount to cover principal and interest.

Grade 2: Minimal Credit Risk – The overall financial condition is very strong. Businesses should have high liquidity, a history of stable and predictable earnings, a strong management team and the primary source of repayment is clear and subject to little risk. Customers should have a substantial net worth in liquid assets with a well defined source of repayment.

F-17

Grade 3: Attractive Credit Risk - The overall financial condition is good. Financial statements are current and show satisfactory income, profits, cash flow, and debt service coverage, debt to worth ratio and credit history. Loans in this category are properly structured and documented and require only minimal supervision.

Grade 4: Average Risk – The overall financial condition is average. Credit history has been satisfactory. Refinancing could be obtained with normal effort. Financial statements are current and show some volatility in income, profits, cash flow, debt service coverage or credit history. The volatility is easily identifiable and has been addressed and does not constitute an unwarranted level of risk.

Grade 5: Acceptable Risk – The overall financial condition of the business or individual is acceptable. There is more than average credit risk and the credit should be more closely watched but there is little chance of loss. While acceptable, loans in this category may warrant close monitoring for any number of reasons including inconsistent earnings, leveraged balance sheet, economic conditions, collateral requiring close supervision, financial information that is stale or incomplete or irregular payment record.

Grade 6: Monitor - This asset has potential weakness and deserves management attention. If left uncorrected the potential weakness may result in deterioration of the overall financial condition. There is no room for debt expansion and they are fully leveraged. If liquidation were to take place there could be a minimal loss and thus an analysis should be made to determine if a specific reserve is needed.

Grade 7: Substandard – This asset is inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged. Loans in this category involve more than a normal risk. There is limited opportunity to refinance. If liquidation were to take place there would be some recognized loss exposure.

Grade 8: Doubtful – A loss is highly likely and there probably will be a default. There is no ability to refinance. At this point collection effort should be in full process. Loans in this category will be reserved at a specific amount.

These risk ratings are summarized into categories as follows: Pass includes loans with Grades 1-5, Special Mention includes loans with a Grade of 6, and Substandard / Doubtful include loans with Grades 7 and 8.

As of December 31, 2010, the impaired loan amount above included approximately $383,000 of troubled debt restructured loans.

The amount of impaired loans as of December 31, 2009 was $49,039,811. Of this amount, loans totaling $18,405,768 were assigned specific reserves of $5,062,293. As of December 31, 2009, $1,657,134 was considered troubled debt restructures.

Because of the severe economic downturn and the effect on borrowers’ ability to pay and collateral values, the Bank expanded the scope of its analysis of the loan portfolio during the fourth quarter of 2009. As a result the amount of impaired loans increased from $20,683,163 as of September 30, 2009 to $49,039,811 as of December 31, 2009. During the fourth quarter of 2010, $17,407,139 amount of impaired loans were removed from the impaired loan list due to improved financial performance throughout 2010.

Of the loans impaired as of December 31, 2009 approximately $4,179,000 was charged off against the allowance, $3,120,000 was foreclosed and recorded as ORE, and $1,100,000 was repaid. The remainder was not considered impaired in the 2010 analysis.

The average amount of impaired loans for the year 2010 and 2009 totaled approximately, $39,011,880 and $26,146,726, respectively. If impaired loans had been current throughout their terms, interest income would have been increased by $1,406,725 and $1,007,702, for 2010 and 2009, respectively. There was $359,821 and $1,704,552 of interest income recognized from impaired loans for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

(9)	Participation in U.S. Treasury Programs

On December 23, 2008, the Corporation issued 10,300 shares of preferred stock to the U.S. Treasury for $10.3 million pursuant to its Capital Purchase Program (CPP). Additionally, the Corporation issued 104,040 common stock warrants to the U.S. Treasury as a condition of its participation in the CPP. The warrants have an exercise price of $14.85 each and are immediately exercisable and expire 10 years from the date of issuance. Proceeds from this sale of the preferred stock were expected to be used for general corporate purposes, including supporting the continued, anticipated growth of the Corporation. The CPP preferred stock was non-voting, other than having class voting rights on certain matters, and paid cumulative dividends quarterly at a rate of 5% per annum for the first five years and 9% thereafter. The preferred shares were redeemable at the option of the Corporation under certain circumstances during the first three years and thereafter without restriction.

On September 3, 2010, the Corporation completed the exchange of its $10,300,000 of preferred shares issued under the U.S. Capital Purchase Program (CPP) for a like amount of preferred shares issued under the Community Development Capital Initiative (CDCI). These shares carry essentially the same terms as the CPP shares but have the following differences. The initial dividend rate is set at 2% for the CDCI shares versus the 5% for the CPP shares. The three percentage point difference results in a decrease in preferred dividends owed by the Corporation of approximately $309,000 annually. In both share programs, the initial dividend rate is replaced after a period by a 9% dividend rate. In the CDCI program, the initial period is longer than the CPP program and under the CDCI the dividend will not increase until 2018 versus the change in 2013 under the CPP program.

The exchange of preferred shares did not impact the 104,040 common stock warrants the Corporation issued to the U.S. Treasury as a condition of its participation in the CPP. The warrants have an exercise price of $14.85 each and are immediately exercisable and expire 10 years from the date of issuance (December 23, 2018).

Based on a Black-Scholes-Merton options pricing model, the common stock warrants were assigned a fair value of $2.55 per warrant, or $265,303 in the aggregate, as of December 12, 2008. As a result of allocating the fair value of the preferred stock and the related common stock warrants, $346,619 has been recorded in additional paid in capital as the discount on the preferred stock obtained above and will be accreted as a reduction in net income available for common shareholders through December 2013.

As noted above $ 346,619 was assigned to the common stock warrants, and accordingly, $9,953,381 (total $10.3 million) has been assigned to the Series A preferred stock and will be accreted up to the redemption amount of $10.3 million over the five year period ending December 2013.

F-26

During the year ended December 31, 2010, the number of shares represented by the Warrant increased 2,112 shares due to the impact of two 1% stock dividends issued during the year ended December 31, 2010.

(11)	Note Payable to Trust

United Bancorp Capital Trust II. In 2007, the Corporation formed a wholly-owned grantor trust to issue cumulative trust preferred securities. The grantor trust has invested the proceeds of the trust preferred securities in junior subordinated debentures of the Corporation. The junior subordinated debentures can be redeemed prior to maturity at the option of the Corporation on or after September 30, 2011. The sole assets of the guarantor trust are the Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures of the Corporation (the Debentures) held by the grantor trust. The debentures have the same interest rate (three month LIBOR plus 1.68%, floating) as the trust preferred securities. The interest rate in effect as of December 31, 2010 was 1.98%. The Corporation has the right to defer interest payments on the Debentures at any time or from time to time for a period not exceeding 20 consecutive quarters provided that no extension period may extend beyond the stated maturity of the related Debentures. During any such extension period, distributions on the trust preferred certificates would also be deferred.

Payment of periodic cash distributions and payment upon liquidation or redemption with respect to the trust preferred securities are guaranteed by the Corporation to the extent of funds held by the grantor trust (the Preferred Securities Guarantee). The Preferred Securities Guarantee, when taken together with the Corporation’s other obligations under the Debentures, constitute a full and unconditional guarantee, on a subordinated basis, by the Corporation of payments due on the trust preferred securities.

The trust preferred securities and the related debentures were issued on September 27, 2007. Distributions on the trust preferred securities are paid quarterly on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year. Interest on the Debentures is paid on the corresponding dates. The aggregate principal amount of Debentures outstanding at December 31, 2010 was $10,310,000.

(12)	Income Taxes

The components of income tax benefit for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 are as follows:

	2010			2009

Total income tax benefit differed from the amount computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate of 34% to pretax losses as follows:

	2010			2009
Income tax at statutory rate	$	(660,039	)	$	(2,467,679	)

The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities at December 31, 2010 and 2009 are as follows:

	2010		2009
Deferred tax assets:
Loans, principally due to the allowance for loan losses	$	1,264,575	$	2,376,315
Net operating loss carry forward		2,947,985		1,211,842
Other real estate, principally due to differences in carrying value		1,005,639		978,967
Intangible assets		195,410		-
Deferred compensation		342,781		294,581
Investment securities available for sale		284,060		-
Other		40,140		17,701
Total deferred tax assets		6,080,590		4,879,406
Deferred tax liabilities:
Premises and equipment, principally due to difference in depreciation		99,303		269,850
Investment securities available for sale		-		234,199
Discount accretion		3,162		9,041
Other		48,071		162,904
Total deferred tax liabilities		150,536		675,994
Net deferred tax asset	$	5,930,054	$	4,203,412

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projection for future taxable income over the periods which the temporary differences resulting in the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefits of these deductible differences.

At December 31, 2010, approximately 22,000 optioned shares were exercisable at prices between $15.65 and $18.00 per share. When options are exercised, par value of the shares issued is recorded as an addition to common stock, and the remainder of the proceeds (including any tax benefit, if applicable) is credited to capital surplus.

F-30

As of December 31, 2010 all stock options issued under the 1998 Plan were outstanding and exercisable. The details associated with these options were as follows:

Grant-date fair value is measured on the date of grant using an option-pricing model with market assumptions. The grant-date fair values are amortized into expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The company applies the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model which requires the use of highly subjective assumptions, including but not limited to, expected stock price volatility, term, dividend rates, forfeiture rates, and risk-free interest rates, which if changed can materially affect fair value estimates.

F-31

The following is a summary of the weighted average assumptions used to estimate the weighted-average per share fair value of options granted on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model. No shares were granted during the year ended December 31, 2010.

As of December 31, 2010, there was $8,731 of total unrecognized compensation costs related to the nonvested share based compensation arrangements granted under the 1998 and 2007 Plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over a period of approximately three years.

Restricted Stock

During 2010 one restricted stock grant was made by the Corporation totaling 135 shares. As of December 31, 2010 the Corporation has awarded restricted stock grants in two formats to two distinct classes of employees. Employees with more than 20 years of service have been awarded grants with a six month balloon vesting. The expense of these awards is recorded on a straight-line basis over the six month term. The second type of grant has been awarded to senior officers of the Corporation. These grants have five year terms (60 months) with 1/3 vesting on the grant anniversary date in years 3, 4, and 5. The expense of these awards is recorded on a straight-line basis over the 60 month term. As of December 31, 2010 there was $47,876 of unrecognized stock-based compensation related to these restricted stock grants which is expected to be recognized over a period of four years.

The following tables present restricted stock activity:

(14) Dividend Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan

The Corporation sponsors a dividend reinvestment and share purchase plan. Under the plan, all holders of record of common stock are eligible to participate in the plan. Participants in the plan may direct the plan administrator to invest cash dividends declared with respect to all or any portion of their common stock. Participants may also make optional cash payments that will be invested through the plan. All cash dividends paid to the plan administrator are invested within 30 days of cash dividend payment date. Cash dividends and optional cash payments will be used to purchase common stock of the Corporation in the open market, from newly-issued shares, from shares held in treasury, in negotiated transactions, or in any combination of the foregoing. The purchase price of the shares of common stock is based on the average market price. All administrative costs are borne by the Corporation.

For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 no shares were purchased under the Plan as there were no cash dividends declared. In place of cash dividends in 2009 and 2010, the Corporation declared 1% stock dividends to shareholders of record as of June 30, 2009, December 31, 2009, and June 30, 2010.

(15) Employee Benefit Plans

401(k) Savings Plan

Under a new 401(k) savings plan that became effective October 1, 2006, employees are eligible after completing ninety days of service and attaining age 20.5. Eligible employees can contribute a minimum of 1% up to 15% of salary to the plan. The Corporation contributes one dollar for each dollar the employee contributes, up to 5.5% of the employee’s salary.

Contributions to the Plan charged to expense during 2010 and 2009 were $303,698 and $297,646, respectively.

Profit-Sharing Plan

The Corporation also maintains a profit–sharing plan for eligible employees. Eligibility requirements for this plan are the same as the 401(k) Employee Incentive Savings Plan. Benefits paid under the Plan are subject to approval by the Board of Directors each year. There was no benefit paid under the Plan for the 2010 or 2009 year.

Salary Continuation Plan

The Corporation provides a salary continuation plan providing for death and retirement benefits for certain executive officers. The present value of the estimated amounts to be paid under the plan is being accrued over the remaining service period of the executives. The expense recognized for the salary continuation plan amounted to $97,699 and $92,169 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The balance of the liability for the salary continuation plan included in other liabilities at December 31, 2010 and 2009 totaled $794,157 and $696,458, respectively.

F-33

The cost of the salary continuation plan described above is being offset by earnings from bank owned life insurance policies on the executives. The balance of the policy surrender values included in other assets totaled $2,844,717 and $2,728,954 at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Income recognized from the increase in cash surrender value on these policies totaled $115,763 and $128,415 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The Corporation sponsors an employee stock purchase plan which is available to all employees subject to certain minimum service requirements. The Plan is administered by a Board appointed committee which designates the offering period in which employees may purchase shares and the offering price. All administrative costs are borne by the Corporation. For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, 0 and 425 shares were purchased under the Plan, respectively.

(16)	Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Corporation uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. In accordance with the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures topic (FASB ASC 820), the fair value of a financial instrument is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Corporation’s various financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument.

The recent fair value guidance provides a consistent definition of fair value, which focuses on exit price in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. If there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability, a change in valuation technique or the use of multiple valuation techniques may be appropriate. In such instances, determining the price at which willing market participants would transact at the measurement date under current market conditions depends on the facts and circumstances and requires the use of significant judgment. The fair value is a reasonable point within the range that is most representative of fair value under current market conditions.

F-34

Fair Value Hierarchy

In accordance with this guidance, the Corporation groups its financial assets and financial liabilities generally measured at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value.

Level 1 - Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 1 assets and liabilities generally include debt and equity securities that are traced in an active exchange market. Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Valuation is based on inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. The valuation may be based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3 - Valuation is based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis and recognized in the accompanying balance sheet, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.

Available for Sale Securities

Where quoted market prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Level 1 securities would include highly liquid government bonds, mortgage products and exchange traded equities. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics or discounted cash flows. Level 2 securities include U.S. agency securities, mortgage-backed agency securities, obligations of states and political subdivisions and certain corporate, asset backed and other securities. In certain cases where Level 1 or Level 2 inputs are not available, securities are classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy.

F-35

The following tables present financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively:

			Fair Value Measurements at December 31, 2010 Using

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Non-recurring Basis

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis and recognized in the accompanying balance sheet, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.

Impaired Loans

Loan impairment is reported when full payment under the loan terms is not expected. Impaired loans are carried at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan's existing rate, or the fair value of collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. A portion of the allowance for loan losses is allocated to impaired loans if the value of such loans is deemed to be less than the unpaid balance. If these allocations cause the allowance for loan losses to require increase, such increase is reported as a component of the provision for loan losses. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when Management believes the uncollectibility of a loan is confirmed. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, the Corporation records the loan impairment as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, the Corporation records the loan impairment as nonrecurring Level 3.

F-36

Other Real Estate

Other real estate are adjusted to fair value upon transfer from the loan portfolio. Subsequently, other real estate assets are carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value. Fair value is based upon independent market prices, appraised values of the collateral or management’s estimation of the value of the collateral. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, the Corporation records the other real estate as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, the Corporation records the other real estate as nonrecurring Level 3.

The following tables present the assets and liabilities carried on the balance sheet by caption and by level within the (FASB ASC 820) valuation hierarchy (as described above) as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, for which a nonrecurring change in fair value has been recorded during the year ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The assumptions used in estimating the fair value of the Corporation’s financial instruments are explained below. Where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using discounted cash flow and other valuation techniques. Discounted cash flows can be significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. The following fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and should not be considered representative of the liquidation value of the Corporation’s financial instruments, but rather a good–faith estimate of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Corporation. FASB ASC 820 excludes certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments from its disclosure requirements.

F-37

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Corporation in estimating the fair value of its financial instruments:

(a)

Cash and Short-term Investments

Fair value approximates the carrying value of such assets.

(b)

Investment Securities and Other Securities

The fair value of investment securities is based on quoted market prices. The fair value of other securities, which includes Federal Home Loan Bank stock and other correspondent stocks, approximates their carrying value.

(c)

Loans

The fair value of loans is calculated using discounted cash flows and excludes lease–financing arrangements. The discount rates used to determine the present value of the loan portfolio are estimated market discount rates that reflect the credit and interest rate risk inherent in the loan portfolio. The estimated maturities are based on the Corporation’s historical experience with repayments adjusted to estimate the effect of current market conditions.

(d)

Bank Owned Life Insurance

The fair value of bank owned life insurance approximates its carrying value.

(e)

Deposits

The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as non–interest bearing demand deposits, NOW accounts, savings and money market deposit accounts, approximates the carrying value. Certificates of deposit have been valued using discounted cash flows. The discount rates used are based on estimated market rates for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

The fair value estimates in the table below do not include the benefit that results from the low–cost funding provided by the deposit liabilities compared to the cost of borrowing funds in the market.

(f)

FHLB, Other Borrowed Funds and Subordinated Debt

The fair value of the Corporation’s other borrowed funds and subordinated debt approximates the carrying value of such liabilities. The fair value of FHLB advances have been valued using discounted cash flows. The discount rates used are based on estimated market rates for borrowings of similar remaining maturities.

(g)

Accrued Interest

The fair value of accrued interest receivable and payable approximates their carrying value.

(h)

Commitments to Extend Credit and Standby Letters of Credit

There is no market for the commitment to extend credit and standby letters of credit and they were issued without explicit cost. Therefore, it is not practical to establish their fair value.

F-38

The carrying value and estimated fair value of the Corporation’s financial instruments at December 31, 2010 and 2009 are as follows (in thousands):

	2010				2009
	Carrying amount		Estimated fair value		Carrying amount		Estimated fair value
Financial assets:	(Dollars in Thousands)
Cash and short–term investments	$	80,966	$	80,966	$	54,668	$	54,668

Accrued interest payable		403		403		621		621

(17)	Dividends From Bank

Dividends paid by the Bank are the primary source of funds available to the Corporation for payment of dividends to its stockholders and for other needs. Applicable federal and state statutes and regulations impose restrictions on the amounts of dividends that may be declared by the subsidiary bank. In addition, the subsidiary bank is also required to maintain minimum amounts of capital to both total “risk–weighted” assets and total assets, as defined by banking regulators. Capital adequacy considerations could further limit the availability of dividends from the subsidiary bank. The payment of dividends from the Bank is regulated by the Alabama State Banking Department and is may be limited based on earnings and credit losses. Recent earnings and loan losses create a restriction on the ability of the Bank to pay dividends. Future payments of dividends by the Bank to the Corporation will be dependent on earnings, loan losses and approval from the Alabama State Banking Department and applicable federal regulators.

F-40

(19)	Litigation

The Corporation is involved in various legal proceedings arising in connection with their business. In the opinion of management, based upon consultation with legal counsel, the ultimate resolution of these proceedings is not expected to have a material adverse effect upon the financial statements of the Corporation.

(20)	Commitments

The Corporation leases certain property and equipment for use in its business. These leases have lease terms generally not in excess of five years. The Corporation is not committed to any operating leases, which have initial or remaining noncancelable lease terms in excess of one year as of December 31, 2009.

Rental expense for all operating leases charged to earnings aggregated $35,920 and $36,026 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

The Corporation 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 standby letters of credit. Such instruments involve elements of credit risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements.

The Corporation’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of these instruments. The Corporation uses the same credit policies in making conditional obligations as it does for on–balance–sheet instruments.

The financial instruments whose contractual amounts represent credit risk as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 are approximately as follows:

	Years Ended December 31,
	2010		2009

Commitments to extend credit	$	36,515,000	$	31,047,000
Standby letters of credit		1,360,000		1,155,000

Standby letters of credit are commitments issued by the Corporation to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Corporation holds various assets as collateral supporting those commitments for which collateral is deemed necessary.

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. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

F-41

(21)	Other Noninterest Expense

Components of other noninterest expense exceeding 1% of the total of net interest income and noninterest income for either of the years ended December 31, 2010 or 2009, respectively, include the following:

	2010		2009
Accounting & audit	$	283,133	$	218,291
Advertising		276,039		284,178
Armored car service		230,669		223,736

Legal		312,366		270,355
Other real estate expenses		321,165		1,206,449

(22)	Concentrations of Credit Risk

On December 31, 2010, the Bank had $42,903,692 of agriculture related loans as compared to $43,957,653 in 2009. Agriculture loans comprised approximately 16% of the Bank’s loan portfolio. Additionally, real estate constructions accounted for approximately 14% of the total portfolio, while 1-4 family residential mortgage loans made up approximately 22% of the portfolio Real estate construction and 1-4 family residential mortgage loans were $36,825,855 and $58,342,993 respectively in 2010, $49,321,129 and $55,820,121, respectively, in 2009.

(23)	Regulatory Matters

The Corporation and its subsidiary bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory – and possibly additional discretionary – actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Corporation. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework of prompt corrective action, the Corporation and its subsidiary bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of each bank’s assets, liabilities, and certain off–balance–sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification of the Corporation and its subsidiary bank are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Corporation and its subsidiary bank to maintain minimum core capital (Tier I Capital) of at least 4% of risk–weighted assets, minimum total capital (Total Qualifying Capital) of at least 8% of risk–weighted assets and a minimum leverage ratio of at least 4% of quarterly average assets. Management believes, as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, that the Corporation and its subsidiary bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

F-42

As of December 31, 2010, the most recent notification from the appropriate regulatory agencies categorized the subsidiary bank as “adequately capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the subsidiary bank’s category.

The following table presents the actual capital amounts and ratios of the Corporation and its subsidiary bank at December 31, 2010 and 2009:

	Total Qualifying Capital					Tier I Capital					Leverage
	Amount		Ratio			Amount		Ratio			Amount		Ratio
As of December 31, 2010:
United Bancorporation	$	43,956		15.14	%	$	40,312		13.88	%	$	40,312		8.74	%
