Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains forward-looking statements that are based on management's beliefs, assumptions, current expectations, estimates and projections about the financial services industry, the economy, and United Bancorp, Inc. Forward-looking statements are identifiable by words or phrases such as "outlook" or "strategy"; that an event or trend "may", “could”, "will", "is likely", or is "probable or projected" to occur or "continue" or "is scheduled" or "on track" or that the Company or its management "anticipates", "believes", "estimates", "plans", "forecasts", "intends", "predicts ", or "expects" a particular result, or is "confident," "optimistic" or has an "opinion" that an event will occur, or other words or phrases such as "ongoing", "future", or "tend" and variations of such words and similar expressions.  Such statements are based upon current beliefs and expectations and involve substantial risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These statements include, among others, statements related to deployment of liquidity and loan demand, future economic conditions, future investment opportunities, future levels of expenses associated with other real estate owned, real estate valuation, future recognition of income, future levels of nonperforming loans, the rate of asset dispositions, future capital levels, future dividends, market growth potential, future growth and funding sources, future liquidity levels, future capital levels, future profitability levels, future effects of modified or new accounting standards, compliance with our memorandum of understanding, the effects on earnings of changes in interest rates and the future level of other revenue sources. All of the information concerning interest rate sensitivity is forward-looking. All statements referencing future time periods are forward-looking.

Management's determination of the provision and allowance for loan losses, the appropriate carrying value of intangible assets (including mortgage servicing rights and deferred tax assets) and other real estate owned and the fair value of investment securities (including whether any impairment on any investment security is temporary or other-than-temporary and the amount of any impairment) involves judgments that are inherently forward-looking. There can be no assurance that future loan losses will be limited to the amounts estimated or that other real estate owned can be sold for its carrying value or at all. Our ability to fully comply with all of the provisions of our memorandum of understanding, successfully implement new programs and initiatives, increase efficiencies, utilize our deferred tax asset, address regulatory issues, respond to declines in collateral values and credit quality, and improve profitability is not entirely within our control and is not assured. The future effect of changes in the financial and credit markets and the national and regional economy on the banking industry, generally, and on United Bancorp, Inc., specifically, are also inherently uncertain. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions ("risk factors") that are difficult to predict with regard to timing, extent, likelihood and degree of occurrence. Therefore, actual results and outcomes may materially differ from what may be expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. United Bancorp, Inc. undertakes no obligation to update, clarify or revise forward-looking statements to reflect developments that occur or information obtained after the date of this report.

Risk factors include, but are not limited to, the risk factors described in "Item 1A – Risk Factors" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. These and other factors are representative of the risk factors that may emerge and could cause a difference between an ultimate actual outcome and a preceding forward-looking statement.

(f)           Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of United Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company" or “United”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) believed necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The condensed consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2011 has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of that date. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2012. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and related footnotes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Note 2 – Allowance for Loan Losses and Credit Risk

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level believed adequate by management to absorb probable incurred credit losses in the loan portfolio. The allowance is increased by provisions for loan losses charged to income. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes a loan is uncollectible. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. This policy applies to each of the Company’s portfolio segments.

The Company’s established methodology for evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses considers both components of the allowance: (1) specific allowances allocated to loans evaluated individually for impairment under the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Section 310-10-35 of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), and (2) allowances calculated for pools of loans evaluated collectively for impairment under FASB ASC Subtopic 450-20. Until the third quarter of 2011, the Company’s past loan loss experience was determined by evaluating the average charge-offs over the most recent eight quarters.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2011, the Company changed its methodology for evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses by revising and enhancing the methodology for loans evaluated collectively for impairment. Under this methodology, the Company revised and further disaggregated its pools of loans evaluated collectively for impairment. Similar to the prior methodology, pools were analyzed by general loan types, and further analyzed by collateral types, where appropriate. However, under the new methodology, pools were further disaggregated by internal credit risk ratings for commercial loans, commercial mortgages and construction loans and by delinquency status for residential mortgages, consumer loans and all other loan types. As of September 30, 2011, the allowance for loan losses for loans evaluated collectively for impairment decreased from $15.6 million under the Company’s prior methodology to $11.9 million under the new methodology.




Effective with the first quarter of 2012, the Company has expanded the number of categories evaluated for allocation of the allowance for loan losses, from four to six. In order to be consistent with the migration analysis that is performed quarterly, allocations for Owner-Occupied Commercial Real Estate, Other Commercial Real Estate, and Commercial and Industrial loans have been broken out beginning March 31, 2012. This change in allocation methodology had no material quantitative effect on the allocations.

Allowance allocations for each pool are determined through a migration analysis based on activity for the period beginning March, 2008. The analysis computes loss rates based on a probability of default (“PD”) and loss given default (“LGD”). Allowance allocations prior to the third quarter of 2011 were computed based on weighted average charge-off rates as opposed to the use of credit migration matrices, which computes PDs and LGDs based on historical losses as loans migrate through the various risk rating or delinquency categories. The March, 2008 date was selected in an effort to capture sufficient data points to provide a meaningful migration analysis using available data in comparable formats.

Under both the current and previous methodologies, loss rates are adjusted to consider qualitative factors such as economic conditions and trends, among others. However, under the methodologies adopted beginning with the third quarter of 2011, the Company applies a more detailed analysis of qualitative factors that are assessed on a quarterly basis based upon gradings specific to the Company, as well as regional economic metrics.

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 require an increase in the allowance for loan losses, that increase is recorded as a component of the provision for loan losses. Loans are evaluated for impairment when payments are delayed or when the internal grading system indicates a substandard or doubtful classification. This policy applies to each class of the Company’s loan portfolio.

Impairment is evaluated in total for smaller-balance loans of similar nature, such as residential mortgage, consumer, home equity and second mortgage loans. Commercial loans and mortgage loans secured by other properties are evaluated individually for impairment. When credit analysis of borrower operating results and financial condition indicates that underlying cash flows of the borrower's business are not adequate to meet its debt service requirements, including loans to the borrower by United Bank & Trust (the “Bank”), the loan is evaluated for impairment. Often this is associated with a delay or shortfall of payments of thirty days or more. Loans are generally moved to nonaccrual status when ninety days or more past due or in bankruptcy. These loans are often also considered impaired. Impaired loans are charged off, in part or in full, when deemed uncollectible. This typically occurs when the loan is 120 or more days past due, unless the loan is both well-secured and in the process of collection. This policy applies to each class of the Company’s loan portfolio.

Credit Exposure and Quality Indicators

The Company categorizes commercial and tax-exempt loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt, such as current financial information, management capacity, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis is performed during the loan approval process and is updated as circumstances warrant.

The risk characteristics of each loan portfolio segment are as follows:

Construction and Land Development. Construction and Land Development (“CLD”) loans are underwritten utilizing feasibility studies, independent appraisal reviews, sensitivity analysis of absorption and lease rates and financial analysis of the developers and property owners. CLD loans are generally based on estimates of costs and value associated with the complete project. These estimates may be inaccurate. CLD loans often involve the disbursement of substantial funds with repayment substantially dependent on the success of the ultimate project. Sources of repayment for these types of loans may be pre-committed permanent loans from approved long-term lenders, sales of developed property or an interim loan commitment from the Company until permanent financing is obtained. These loans are closely monitored by on-site inspections and are considered to have higher risks than other real estate loans due to their ultimate repayment being sensitive to interest rate changes, governmental regulation of real property, general economic conditions and the availability of long-term financing.

Commercial Real Estate. Commercial Real Estate (“CRE”) consists of two segments – owner-occupied real estate loans and other commercial real estate loans. CRE loans are viewed primarily as cash flow loans and secondarily as loans secured by real estate. Commercial real estate lending typically involves higher loan principal amounts and the repayment of these loans is generally dependent on the successful operation of the property securing the loan or the business conducted on the property securing the loan. Commercial real estate loans may be more adversely affected by conditions in the real estate markets or in the general economy. The characteristics of properties securing the Company’s commercial real estate portfolio are diverse, but with geographic location almost entirely in the Company’s market area. Management monitors and evaluates commercial real estate loans based on collateral, geography and risk grade criteria. In general, the Company avoids financing single purpose projects unless other underwriting factors are present to help mitigate risk. In addition, management tracks the level of owner-occupied commercial real estate loans versus non-owner occupied loans.

Commercial & Industrial Loans. Commercial and industrial loans are primarily based on the identified cash flows of the borrower and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower. The cash flows of borrowers, however, may not be as expected and the collateral securing these loans may fluctuate in value. Most commercial loans are secured by the assets being financed or other business assets, such as accounts receivable or inventory, and may include a personal guarantee.



Some short-term loans may be made on an unsecured basis. In the case of loans secured by accounts receivable, the availability of funds for the repayment of these loans may be substantially dependent on the ability of the borrower to collect amounts due from its customers.

Consumer. Consumer loans consist of two segments – residential mortgage loans and personal loans. For residential mortgage loans that are secured by 1-4 family residences and are generally owner occupied, the Company generally establishes a maximum loan-to-value ratio and requires private mortgage insurance if that ratio is exceeded. Home equity loans are typically secured by a subordinate interest in 1-4 family residences, and personal loans are secured by personal assets, such as automobiles or recreational vehicles. Some personal loans are unsecured, such as small installment loans and certain lines of credit. Repayment of these loans is primarily dependent on the personal income of the borrowers, which can be impacted by economic conditions in their market areas, such as unemployment levels. Repayment can also be impacted by changes in property values on residential properties. Risk is mitigated by the fact that the loans are of smaller individual amounts and spread over a large number of borrowers.

Internal Risk Categories

Commercial and tax-exempt loans that are analyzed individually are assigned one of eight internal risk categories. Categories 1-4 are considered to be Pass-rated loans. Other risk category definitions for individually-analyzed commercial and tax-exempt loans are as follows:

Special Mention. Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the Bank’s credit position at some future date.
   
Substandard. Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral securing the loans, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
   
Doubtful. Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the additional characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable.
   
Loss. Loans classified as loss are regarded as uncollectible and should be charged off.

Consumer loans are not rated on the above-listed risk categories, but are classified by their payment activity, either as performing, accruing restructured, delinquent less than 90 days, or nonperforming.

Interest payments received on impaired loans are recorded as interest income unless collection of the remaining recorded investment is doubtful, at which time payments received are recorded as reductions to principal. Subsequent payments on nonaccrual loans are recorded as a reduction of principal, and interest income is recorded only after principal recovery is reasonably assured. Nonaccrual loans are returned to accrual status when, in the judgment of management, the financial position of the borrower indicates there is no longer any reasonable doubt as to the timely collection of interest or principal. The Company requires a period of satisfactory performance of not less than six months before returning a nonaccrual loan to accrual status. These policies apply to each class of the Company’s loan portfolio.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

In the course of working with borrowers, the Bank may choose to restructure the contractual terms of certain loans. In this scenario, the Bank attempts to work-out an alternative payment schedule with the borrower in order to optimize collectability of the loan. Any loans that are modified are reviewed by the Bank to identify if a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) has occurred, which is when, for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower’s financial difficulties, the Bank grants a concession to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider. Terms may be modified to fit the ability of the borrower to repay in line with its current financial status and the restructuring of the loan may include the transfer of assets from the borrower to satisfy the debt, a modification of loan terms, or a combination of the two.



If such efforts by the Bank do not result in a satisfactory arrangement, the loan is referred to legal counsel, at which time foreclosure proceedings are initiated. At any time prior to a sale of the property at foreclosure, the Bank may terminate foreclosure proceedings if the borrower is able to work-out a satisfactory payment plan.

It is the Bank’s policy to have any restructured loans which are on nonaccrual status prior to being restructured, remain on nonaccrual status until six months of satisfactory borrower performance, at which time management would consider its return to accrual status. The balance of nonaccrual restructured loans, which is included in nonaccrual loans, was $11.4 million at March 31, 2012 and $10.7 million at December 31, 2011. If a restructured loan is on accrual status prior to being restructured, it is reviewed to determine if the restructured loan should remain on accrual status. The balance of accruing restructured loans was $20.4 million at March 31, 2012 and $21.8 million at December 31, 2011.

Loans that are considered TDRs are classified as performing, unless they are on nonaccrual status or greater than 90 days delinquent as of the end of the most recent quarter. All TDRs are considered impaired by the Company. When it is determined that the borrower has met the six month satisfactory performance period (or six payments) under modified terms and the restructuring agreement specified an interest rate greater than or equal to an acceptable rate for a comparable new loan, the loan is considered to be performing. On a quarterly basis, the Company individually reviews all TDR loans to determine if a loan meets both of these criteria.

Accruing restructured loans at March 31, 2012 are comprised of two categories of loans on which interest is being accrued under their restructured terms, and the loans are current or less than ninety days past due. The first category consists of $17.0 million of commercial loans, primarily comprised of business loans that have been temporarily modified as interest-only loans, generally for a period of up to one year, without a sufficient corresponding increase in the interest rate. Within this category are $7.8 million of CLD loans that have been renewed as interest only, generally for a period of up to one year, to assist the borrower.

The Bank does not generally forgive principal or interest on restructured loans. However, when a loan is restructured, principal is generally received on a delayed basis as compared to the original repayment schedule. CLD loans that are restructured are generally modified to require interest-only for a period of time. The Bank does not generally reduce interest rates on restructured commercial loans. The average yield on modified commercial loans was 5.29%, compared to 5.46% earned on the entire commercial loan portfolio in the first quarter of 2012.

The second category included in accruing restructured loans consists of residential mortgage and home equity loans whose terms have been restructured at less than market terms and include rate modifications, extension of maturity, and forbearance. This category consists of seventeen loans for a total of $3.5 million at March 31, 2012. The average yield on modified residential mortgage and home equity loans was 3.98%, compared to 5.36% earned on the entire residential mortgage loan portfolio in the first quarter of 2012.

The Company has no personal loans other than the loans described in the paragraph above that are classified as troubled debt restructurings.




With regard to determination of the amount of the allowance for loan losses, all restructured loans are considered to be impaired. As a result, the determination of the amount of impaired loans for each portfolio segment within troubled debt restructurings is the same as detailed previously above.

As a result of adopting the amendments in ASU No. 2011-02 in the third quarter of 2011, the Company reassessed all restructurings that occurred on or after the beginning of 2011 to determine whether they are now considered troubled debt restructurings. The Company identified as TDRs certain loans for which the allowance for loan losses had previously been measured under a general allowance methodology. Upon identifying those loans as TDRs, the Company identified them as impaired under the guidance in ASC 310-10-35. The amendments in ASU No. 2011-02 require prospective application of the impairment measurement guidance in ASC 310-10-35 for those loans newly identified as impaired.




At the end of the first interim period of adoption (quarter ended September 30, 2011), the recorded investment in loans for which the allowance was previously measured under a general allowance methodology and are now impaired under ASC 310-10-35 was $4.0 million, and the allowance for loan losses associated with those loans, on the basis of a current evaluation of loss, was $1.5 million.

Note 3 - Securities

Securities classified as available for sale consist of bonds and notes that might be sold prior to maturity. Securities classified as available for sale are reported at their fair values and the related net unrealized holding gain or loss is reported in other comprehensive income. Premiums and discounts on securities are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the period to maturity. Realized gains or losses are based upon the amortized cost of the specific securities sold.
