REPORTS CONTINUED EARNINGS IMPROVEMENT WITH AN EARNINGS PER SHARE INCREASE OF 31% FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2008 MARTINS FERRY, OHIO --- United Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: UBCP), headquartered in Martins Ferry, Ohio reported continued earnings improvement with net earnings of $1,928,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to $1,482,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007. On a per share basis, the Company's six months diluted earnings were $0.42 for 2008, as compared to $0.32 for 2007, an increase of 31%. Randall M. Greenwood, Senior Vice President, CFO and Treasurer remarked, "The Company's six month earnings in 2008 generated an annualized 0.88% return on average assets ("ROA") and a 11.4% return on average equity ("ROE"), compared to 0.71% ROA and 9.68% ROE for the comparable six month period in 2007. We believe the 2008 results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2008 will compare very favorably with our peers in the banking industry. Moreover, with the reduction in short term interest rates by the Federal Reserve, we are projecting the Company's net interest margin to reflect continued improvement in 2008 as compared to 2007. The Company's net interest margin of 3.96% for the six months ended June 30, 2008 generated an increase of approximately $1,490,000 in net interest income over the same period in 2007. Service charge income on deposit accounts for the six months ended June 30, 2008 increased $146,000, which reflects the continuing positive impact of the Company's courtesy overdraft program, as well as a merchant check capture program. The Company's enhanced earnings level was accomplished despite an approximate $125,000 period over period after-tax increase in the provision for loan losses." James W. Everson, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer stated, "We are pleased to report this 31% earnings per share improvement for the six months ended June 30, 2008. This level of increased earnings was generated even with the $125,000 after tax period over period increase in the provision for loan losses. I wish to stress the increased loan loss provision in the 2008 six month period reflects prudence related to the economic challenges facing the banking industry as evidenced by significant deterioration in asset quality within the financial sector." Everson concluded by stating "Our Board of Directors and Management Team have worked aggressively over the past eighteen months to implement the reorganization of our affiliate banks into one charter. With the operational efficiencies gained from the full integration of our two subsidiary banks and the streamlining of our management and operational support positions, which has reduced time and money spent on duplicated efforts, we anticipate a continuation of solid earnings improvement throughout 2008. Based upon our second half performance in 2007 which was impacted by one time charter consolidation costs, we are projecting a forty percent improvement in year-end 2008 earnings over 2007."
