NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

UNITED BANKSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

1. GENERAL

The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements of United Bankshares, Inc. and Subsidiaries (“United”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles for interim financial information generally accepted in the United States and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the financial statements do not contain all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The financial statements presented as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2007 and 2006 and for the three-month and six-month periods then ended have not been audited. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2006 has been extracted from the audited financial statements included in United’s 2006 Annual Report to Shareholders. The accounting and reporting policies followed in the presentation of these financial statements are consistent with those applied in the preparation of the 2006 Annual Report of United on Form 10-K. ~~To conform to the 2007 presentation, certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts, which had no impact on net income, comprehensive income, or stockholders’ equity.~~ In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and results of operations for the interim periods have been made. Such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature.

The accompanying consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of United and its wholly owned subsidiaries. United considers all of its principal business activities to be bank related. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. Dollars are in thousands, except per share and share ~~data or unless otherwise noted.~~data.

New Accounting Standards

In February 2007, the Financial Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement No. 159 (SFAS 159), “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” which provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. With this Standard, the FASB expects to reduce both the complexity in accounting for financial instruments and the volatility in earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently. SFAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to ~~facility~~facilitate the comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. The Statement does not eliminate disclosure requirements included in accounting standards. SFAS 159 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, with earlier adoption permitted provided that the company also elects to apply the provisions of FASB Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” ~~United decided not to early adopt the provisions of SFAS 159.~~

In September 2006, the FASB published Statement No. 158 (SFAS 158), “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans”, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R). SFAS 158 requires employers to recognize in their statement of financial position an asset for a plan’s overfunded status or a liability for a plan’s underfunded status. United is also required to

recognize fluctuations in the funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income. United adopted the recognition and disclosure provisions of SFAS 158 on December 31, 2006. See Note 13 for additional information regarding United’s adoption of SFAS 158. SFAS ~~158~~ also requires employers to measure the funded status of a plan as of the end of the employers’ fiscal year, with limited exceptions, and will be effective for United for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008.

In September 2006, the FASB also issued Statement No. 157 (SFAS 157), “Fair Value Measurements” which provides enhanced guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, with earlier adoption permitted. United is currently assessing the impact this statement will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 48 (FIN 48), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”, to address the noncomparability in reporting tax assets and liabilities resulting from a lack of specific guidance in FASB Statement No. 109 (SFAS 109), “Accounting for Income Taxes”, on the uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. United has adopted FIN 48 as of January 1, 2007, as required. The cumulative effect of adopting FIN 48 was recorded in retained earnings. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a significant impact on United’s consolidated financial statements. See Note 14 for additional information regarding United’s adoption of FIN 48.

In March 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 156 (SFAS 156), “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets”. SFAS 156 amends SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities.” SFAS 156 permits, but does not require, an entity to choose either the amortization method or the fair value measurement method for measuring each class of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. SFAS 156 was effective for United on January 1, 2007. The implementation of SFAS 156 did not have a material impact on United’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 155 (SFAS 155), “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments-an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140”. SFAS 155 amends SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, to permit fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument with an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation, provided that the whole instrument is accounted for on a fair value basis. SFAS 155 amends SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, to allow a qualifying special-purpose entity (SPE) to hold a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. United adopted SFAS 155 on January 1, 2007, as required. Its implementation did not have a material impact on United’s consolidated financial statements.

On January 1, 2006, United adopted FASB Statement No. 123—revised 2004 (SFAS 123R), ‘‘Share-Based Payment’’ which replaced Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (SFAS 123), “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation’’ and superseded APB Opinion No. 25 (APB 25), ‘‘Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and amended FASB Statement No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows.’’ Under this transition method, compensation cost to be recognized beginning in the first quarter of 2006 would include: (a) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006,

based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R. Results for prior periods were not restated. Due to modification on December 30, 2005 to accelerate unvested options under United’s existing stock option plans and the fact that no new options were granted in 2006 and the first ~~three~~six months of 2007, United did not recognize any compensation cost for 2006 and the first ~~three~~six months of 2007. See Note 12 for additional information regarding United’s adoption of SFAS 123R.

2. MERGERS & ACQUISITIONS

~~On January 29,~~At the opening of business on July 14, 2007, United ~~announced that it had signed an Agreement and Plan~~acquired 100% of ~~Reorganization (the Agreement) to acquire~~the outstanding common stock of Premier Community Bankshares, Inc. (Premier)~~, a Virginia corporation headquartered in~~ of Winchester, Virginia. The results of operations of Premier, ~~is a multi-bank holding company with 26 office locations~~which are not significant, will be included in the ~~northwestern and central parts~~consolidated results of ~~Virginia and~~operations from the ~~eastern panhandle~~date of West Virginia. As of March 31, 2007, Premier had $915.8 million in total assets, $749.1 in net loans and $742.3 in deposits. Premier operates three wholly owned banking subsidiaries, The Marathon Bank, the Rockingham Heritage Bank and the Premier Bank. Upon completion of the acquisition, it is anticipated that The Marathon Bank and the Rockingham Heritage Bank will be merged with United’s Virginia subsidiary and the Premier Bank will be merged with United’s West Virginia subsidiary.acquisition. The acquisition of Premier ~~will afford~~expands United’s presence in the rapidly growing and economically attractive Metro DC area and affords United the opportunity to enter new Virginia markets in the Winchester, Harrisonburg and Charlottesville areas.

~~Shareholders~~At consummation, Premier had assets of ~~Premier will be entitled to receive either 0.93 shares (Exchange Ratio)~~approximately $911 million, loans of ~~United~~$759 million, deposits of $716 million and shareholders’ equity of $71 million. Premier’s net income was $1.8 million or 31¢ per diluted share for the second quarter of 2007 and $3.6 million or 60¢ per diluted share for the first half of 2007. The transaction was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.

The aggregate purchase price was approximately $200 million, including $98 million of cash, common stock ~~or cash of $34.00, or a combination thereof, for each outstanding share of Premier common~~valued at $97 million, and vested stock ~~owned.~~options exchanged valued at $5 million. The election of United common stock or cash, or a combination of each, will be subject to pro-ration whereby Premier shareholders would receive at least 50% of the consideration in stock and flexibility to receive as much as 65% of the consideration in stock subject to elections and allocation procedures set forth in the Agreement. The total transaction is estimated to have an aggregate consideration of approximately $200.7 million.

Pursuant to the Agreement, at the effective time of the merger, each outstanding option to purchase shares of Premier common stock under any and all plans of Premier shall vest pursuant to the terms thereof and shall be converted into an option to acquire, the number of shares issued in the transaction were 2,684,068, which were valued based on the average market price of ~~United~~United’s common shares over the period including the two days before and after the terms of the acquisition were agreed to and announced. The value of the vested stock options was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based upon 241,428 options exchanged. The following weighted average assumptions were used to determine the value of the options exchanged: risk-free interest rate of 4.96%, expected dividend yield of 3.00%, volatility factor of the expected market price of United’s common stock ~~equal~~of 0.219 and a weighted expected option life of 2.1 years. The preliminary purchase price has been allocated to the ~~number~~identifiable tangible and intangible assets resulting in preliminary additions to goodwill and core deposit intangibles of ~~shares of Premier common stock subject to the Premier stock option plans, multiplied by the Exchange Ratio.~~

~~The merger transaction, expected to close late in the second quarter or early third quarter of 2007, will be accounted for as a purchase pending approval of the shareholders of Premier~~approximately $128 million and the receipt of all required regulatory approvals, as well as other customary conditions. A Form S-4 was filed on April 24, 2007 with the Securities and Exchange Commission to register the maximum number of shares issuable by United upon the consummation of the merger with Premier.$16 million, respectively.

3. INVESTMENT SECURITIES

The amortized cost and estimated fair values of securities available for sale are summarized on the following page:

Provided below is a summary of securities available-for-sale which were in an unrealized loss position at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006:

Gross unrealized losses on available for sale securities were ~~$10,318~~$15,742 at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2007. Securities in a continuous unrealized loss position for twelve months or more consisted primarily of mortgage-backed securities. The unrealized loss on the mortgage-backed securities portfolio relates primarily to AAA securities issued by FNMA, FHLMC, GNMA, and various other private label issuers. Management does not believe any individual security with an unrealized loss as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2007 is other than temporarily impaired. United believes the decline in value is attributable to changes in market interest rates and not the credit quality of the issuers. United has the intent and the ability to hold these securities until such time as the value recovers or the securities mature. However, United acknowledges that any impaired securities may be sold in future periods in response to significant, unanticipated changes in asset/liability management decisions, unanticipated future market movements or business plan changes.

As previously reported, at March 31, 2006, as part of a balance sheet repositioning strategy, management specifically identified approximately $86 million of impaired, low-yielding, fixed rate investment securities for sale. Since United did not have the positive intent to hold these securities to recovery, United recognized a loss of approximately $2.93 million in the first quarter of 2006 related to these securities. These securities were subsequently sold on April 4, 2006.

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of securities available for sale at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 by contractual maturity are shown below. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because the issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations without penalties.

During the first quarter of 2007, United reclassified from the available for sale category certain investment securities that do not have readily determinable fair values and for which United does not exercise significant influence. These securities were reclassified as other investment securities on the balance sheet and are carried at cost. Cost method investments classified as other investment securities totaled $53,589 and $52,922 at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. Cost-method investments are reviewed for impairment at least annually or sooner if events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable.

The carrying value of securities pledged to secure public deposits, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, and for other purposes as required or permitted by law, approximated ~~$925,807~~$926,912 and $948,623 at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.

The table above does not include loans held for sale of ~~$2,231~~$2,701 and $2,041 at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. Loans held for sale consist of single-family residential real estate loans originated for sale in the secondary market.

United’s subsidiary banks have made loans, in the normal course of business, to the directors and officers of United and its subsidiaries, and to their affiliates. Such related party loans were made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with unrelated persons and did not involve more than normal risk of collectibility. The aggregate dollar amount of these loans was ~~$139,977~~$113,647 and $122,150 at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.

5. ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES

United maintains an allowance for loan losses and an allowance for lending-related commitments such as unfunded loan commitments and letters of credit. The allowance for lending-related commitments of ~~$8,327~~$7,848 and $8,742 at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively, is separately classified on the balance sheet and is included in other liabilities. The combined allowances for loan losses and lending-related commitments are referred to as the allowance for credit losses.

The allowance for credit losses is management’s estimate of the probable credit losses inherent in the lending portfolio. Management’s evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses and the appropriate provision for credit losses is based upon a quarterly evaluation of the loan portfolio and lending-related commitments. This evaluation is inherently subjective and requires significant estimates, including the amounts and timing of future cash flows, value of collateral, losses on pools of homogeneous loans based on historical loss experience, and consideration of current economic trends, all of which are susceptible to constant and significant change. The allowance allocated to specific credits and loan pools grouped by similar risk characteristics is reviewed on a quarterly basis and adjusted as necessary based upon subsequent changes in circumstances. In determining the components of the allowance for credit losses, management considers the risk arising in part from, but not limited to, charge-off and delinquency trends, current economic and business conditions, lending policies and procedures, the size and risk characteristics of the loan portfolio, concentrations of credit, and other various factors. Loans deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance for credit losses, while recoveries of previously charged-off amounts are credited to the allowance for credit losses. Credit expenses related to the allowance for credit losses and the

6. RISK ELEMENTS

Nonperforming assets include loans on which no interest is currently being accrued, principal or interest has been in default for a period of 90 days or more and for which the terms have been modified due to deterioration in the financial position of the borrower. Loans are designated as nonaccrual when, in the opinion of management, the collection of principal or interest is doubtful. This generally occurs when a loan becomes 90 days past due as to principal or interest unless the loan is both well secured and in the process of collection. When interest accruals are discontinued, unpaid interest credited to income in the current year is reversed, and unpaid interest accrued in prior years is charged to the allowance for credit losses. Other real estate owned consists of property acquired through foreclosure and is stated at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated selling costs.

Nonperforming assets are summarized as follows:


	March 31,		December 31,		June 30,		December 31,
	2007		2006		2007		2006
Nonaccrual loans	$	6,068	$	5,755	$	7,842	$	5,755
Loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest		5,416		8,432		9,869		8,432

Total nonperforming loans		11,484		14,187		17,711		14,187
Other real estate owned		3,991		4,231		4,074		4,231

Total nonperforming assets	$	15,475	$	18,418	$	21,785	$	18,418

Loans are designated as impaired when, in the opinion of management, the collection of principal and interest in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement is not probable. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2007, the recorded investment in loans that were considered to be impaired was ~~$26,187~~$29,049 (of which ~~$6,068~~$7,842 were on a nonaccrual basis). Included in this amount is ~~$18,578~~$23,767 of impaired loans for which the related allowance for credit losses is ~~$4,720~~$4,949 and ~~$7,609~~$5,282 of impaired loans that do not have an allowance for credit losses due to

management’s estimate that the fair value of the underlying collateral of these loans is sufficient for full repayment of the loan and interest. At December 31, 2006, the recorded investment in loans that were considered to be impaired was $21,963 (of which $5,755 were on a nonaccrual basis). Included in this amount were $15,193 of impaired loans for which the related allowance for credit losses was $3,000, and $6,770 of impaired loans that did not have an allowance for credit losses. The average recorded investment in impaired loans during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2007 and for the year ended December 31, 2006 was approximately ~~$24,049~~$25,656 and $26,503, respectively.

~~For the quarters ended March 31, 2007 and 2006,~~ United recognized interest income on impaired loans of approximately ~~$439~~$378 and ~~$219,~~$654 for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, and $246 and $482 for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively. Substantially all of the interest income was recognized using the accrual method of income recognition. The amount of interest income that would have been recorded under the original terms for the above loans and nonaccrual loans was ~~$389~~$551 and ~~$364~~$1,015 for the ~~quarters~~quarter and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2007, respectively, and $348 and $669 for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively.

United incurred amortization expense of ~~$407~~$383 and ~~$510~~$790 for the ~~quarters~~quarter and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2007, respectively, and $484 and $994 for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2006, ~~respectively.~~respectively, related to intangible assets. The table presented below sets forth the anticipated amortization expense for intangible assets for each of the next five years:

8. SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS

Federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase are a significant source of funds for the company. United has various unused lines of credit available from certain of its correspondent banks in the aggregate amount of $200,000. These lines of credit, which bear interest at prevailing market rates, permit United to borrow funds in the overnight market, and are renewable annually subject to certain conditions. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2007, federal funds purchased were ~~$68,690~~$134,540 while securities sold under agreements to repurchase were ~~$510,706.~~$557,628.

United has available funds of $70,000 with two unrelated financial institutions to provide for general liquidity needs. Both are unsecured revolving lines of credit. One has a one-year renewable term while the other line of credit has a two-year renewable term. Each line of credit carries an indexed floating rate of interest. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2007, United had no outstanding balance under these lines of credit.

In July of 2007, United borrowed funds totaling $50,000 on these two lines of credit to temporarily fund a

portion of the cash consideration for the Premier acquisition. At the funding date, the weighted-average interest rate was 5.97% on the borrowings. United plans to refinance the $50,000 borrowing long-term by the middle of September 2007.

United Bank (VA) participates in the Treasury Investment Program, which is essentially the U.S. Treasury’s savings account for companies depositing employment and other tax payments. The bank retains the funds in an open-ended interest-bearing note until the Treasury withdraws or “calls” the funds. A maximum note balance is established and that amount must be collateralized at all times. All tax deposits or a portion of the tax deposits up to the maximum balance are generally available as a source of short-term investment funding. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2007, United Bank (VA) had an outstanding balance of ~~$63~~$1,418 and had additional funding available of ~~$4,937.~~$3,582.

9. LONG-TERM BORROWINGS

United’s subsidiary banks are members of the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB). Membership in the FHLB makes available short-term and long-term borrowings from collateralized advances. All FHLB borrowings are collateralized by a mix of single-family residential mortgage loans, commercial loans and investment securities. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2007, United had an unused borrowing amount of ~~approximately $1,529,965~~$1,429,935 available subject to delivery of collateral after certain trigger points.

Advances may be called by the FHLB or redeemed by United based on predefined factors and penalties. In June 2007, United prepaid two $100 million long-term FHLB advances and terminated two interest rate swaps associated with the advances. United recognized a $787 thousand before-tax gain on the termination of the swaps. In addition, United prepaid approximately $28.9 million of a $100 million long-term convertible FHLB advance. United incurred a before-tax charge of approximately $786 thousand to prepay the debt. United replaced the $228.9 million of debt with a 3-year FHLB advance and an associated interest rate swap with a total effective cost of 5.25%. The debt prepaid had an average total effective cost of 5.40% and a remaining maturity of 6.25 years. United’s management believes that the prepayment of these borrowings and the termination of the interest rate swaps will improve United’s future net interest margin and enhance future earnings as well as reducing interest rate risk by shortening the term. In March 2007, United borrowed $25 million from the FHLB. The borrowing carries a 4.885% fixed-rate of interest and matures in March of 2010.

During the first quarter of 2006, as part of the balance sheet repositioning, United prepaid a $50 million variable interest rate FHLB advance and terminated a fixed interest rate swap associated with the advance. United recognized a $3.06 million before-tax gain on the termination of the swap. No prepayment penalty was incurred in connection with the early repayment of the advance.

~~In March of~~At June 30, 2007, ~~United borrowed $25 million from the FHLB. The borrowing carries a 4.885% fixed-rate of interest and matures in March of 2010.~~

~~At March 31, 2007, $438,660~~$438,746 of FHLB advances with a weighted-average interest rate of ~~5.23%~~5.14% is scheduled to mature within the next eleven years.

As of June 30. 2007, United ~~has~~had a total of six statutory business trusts that were formed for the purpose of issuing or participating in pools of trust preferred capital securities (Capital Securities) with the proceeds invested in junior subordinated debt securities (Debentures) of United. The Debentures, which are subordinate and junior in right of payment to all present and future senior indebtedness and certain other financial obligations of United, are the sole assets of the trusts and United’s payment under the Debentures is the sole source of revenue for the trusts. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the outstanding balances of the Debentures were ~~$85,172~~$85,042 and $85,301 respectively, and were included in the category of long-term debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheets entitled “Other long-term borrowings”. The Capital Securities are not included as a component of shareholders’ equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. United fully and unconditionally guarantees each individual trust’s obligations under the Capital Securities.

Under the provisions of the subordinated debt, United has the right to defer payment of interest on the subordinated debt at any time, or from time to time, for periods not exceeding five years. If interest payments on the subordinated debt are deferred, the dividends on the Capital Securities are also deferred. Interest on the subordinated debt is cumulative.

The ~~Trust Preferred~~Capital Securities currently qualify as Tier 1 capital of United for regulatory purposes. In March of 2005, the banking regulatory agencies issued guidance, which did not change the regulatory capital treatment for the Trust Preferred Securities.

In July of 2007, United, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, United Statutory Trust V, participated in a Capital Securities offering of a third party in the amount of $50 million to help fund the acquisition of Premier. The proceeds were invested in junior subordinated debt of United paying interest quarterly at a floating rate equal to 3-month LIBOR plus 155 basis points. As a result of an interest rate swap executed by the third party, United will pay interest at a fixed rate of 6.67% for the first five years. Under the terms of the transaction, the Capital Securities will have a maturity of 30 years, and are redeemable after five years with certain exceptions. For regulatory purposes, the $50 million issuance of Capital Securities is expected to qualify as Tier I capital in accordance with current regulatory reporting requirements.

As part of the acquisition of Premier on July 14, 2007, United assumed all the obligations of Premier and its subsidiaries. Premier had a total of four statutory business trusts that were formed for the purpose of issuing or participating in Capital Securities with the proceeds invested in Debentures of Premier. At merger, the outstanding balance of Premier’s Debentures was approximately $39 million. The Capital Securities assumed in the Premier acquisition are expected to qualify as Tier 1 capital of United under current regulatory reporting requirements.

10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

United 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 and to alter its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These financial instruments include loan commitments, standby letters of credit, and ~~interest rate swap agreements.~~commercial letters of credit. The instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the financial statements.

United’s maximum exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparty to the financial instrument for the loan commitments and standby letters of credit is the contractual or notional amount of those instruments. United uses the same policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. Collateral may be obtained, if deemed necessary, based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the commitment contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require the payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily, and historically do not, represent future cash requirements. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary upon the extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. United had ~~approximately $1,726,583~~$1,750,023 and $1,734,299 of loan commitments outstanding as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively, ~~substantially all~~the majority of which expire within one year.

Commercial and standby letters of credit are agreements used by United’s customers as a means of improving their credit standing in their dealings with others. Under these agreements, United guarantees certain financial commitments of its customers. A commercial letter of credit is issued specifically to facilitate trade or commerce. Typically, under the terms of a commercial letter of credit, a commitment is drawn upon when the underlying transaction is consummated as intended between the customer and a third party. United has issued commercial letters of credit of ~~$527~~$835 and $525 as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. A standby letter of credit is generally contingent upon the failure of a customer to perform according to the terms of an underlying contract with a third party. United has issued standby letters of credit of ~~$121,228~~$138,300 and $112,367 as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. In accordance with FIN 45, United has determined that substantially all of its letters of credit are renewed on an annual basis and that the ~~fees associated with~~fair value of these letters of credit ~~are~~is immaterial.

11. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

United uses derivative instruments to ~~help~~ aid against adverse prices or interest rate movements on the value of certain assets or liabilities and on future cash flows. These derivatives may consist of interest rate swaps, caps, floors, collars, futures, forward contracts, written and purchased options. United also executes derivative instruments with its commercial banking customers to facilitate its risk management strategies.

United accounts for its derivative financial instruments in accordance with FASB Statement No. 133 (SFAS No. 133), “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, as amended. SFAS No. 133 requires all derivative instruments to be carried at fair value on the balance sheet. United usually designates derivative instruments used to manage interest rate risk as hedge relationships with certain assets, liabilities

or cash flows being hedged. Certain derivatives used for interest rate risk management are not designated in a SFAS No. 133 ~~hedge~~ relationship.

Under the provisions of SFAS No. 133, United has both fair value hedges and cash flow hedges as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2007. Derivative instruments designated in a hedge relationship to mitigate exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivative instruments designated in a hedge relationship to mitigate exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges.

For a fair value hedge, the fair value of the interest rate swap is recognized on the balance sheet as either a freestanding asset or liability with a corresponding adjustment to the hedged financial instrument. Subsequent adjustments due to changes in the fair value of a derivative that qualifies as a fair value hedge

are offset in current period earnings. For a cash flow hedge, the fair value of the interest rate swap is recognized on the balance sheet as either a freestanding asset or liability with a corresponding adjustment to other comprehensive income within shareholders’ equity, net of tax. Subsequent adjustments due to changes in the fair value of a derivative that qualifies as a cash flow hedge are offset to other comprehensive income, net of tax.

At inception of a hedge relationship, United formally documents the hedged item, the particular risk management objective, the nature of the risk being hedged, the derivative being used, how effectiveness of the hedge will be assessed and how the ineffectiveness of the hedge will be measured. United also assesses hedge effectiveness at inception and on an ongoing basis using regression analysis. Hedge ineffectiveness is measured by using the change in fair value method. The change in fair value method compares the change in the fair value of the hedging derivative to the change in the fair value of the hedged exposure, attributable to changes in the benchmark rate. The portion of a hedge that is ineffective is recognized immediately in earnings. Prior to January 1, 2006, United used the shortcut method for interest rate swaps that met the criteria as defined under SFAS No. 133. Effective January 1, 2006, United adopted an internal policy of ~~accounting for all new derivative instruments entered thereafter whereby the shortcut method would~~ no longer ~~be used.~~using the short-cut method to account for future hedging relationships entered into.

For derivatives that are not designated in a hedge relationship, changes in the fair value of the derivatives are recognized in earnings in the same period as the change in the fair value.

In ~~February 2006,~~June 2007, United terminated two fixed interest rate swap designated as a cash flow hedges associated with the ~~FASB issued Statement No. 155 (SFAS 155), “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instrument –~~repayment of two $100 million variable interest rate FHLB advances that were being hedged. United recognized a $787 thousand before-tax gain on the termination of the swaps. In addition, United prepaid approximately $28.9 million of a $100 million long-term convertible FHLB advance.

United replaced the $228.9 million of debt with a 3-year variable-interest rate FHLB advance and an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140.” SFAS 155 amends SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, to permit fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument with an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation, provided that the whole instrument is accounted for onassociated fixed interest rate swap designated as a fair value basis. SFAS 155 amends SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, to allow a qualifying special-purpose entity (SPE) to hold a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. United adopted SFAS 155 on January 1, 2007 and did not have a material impact on United’s consolidated financial statements.

cash flow hedge. During the first quarter of 2006, as part of a balance sheet repositioning strategy, United terminated a fixed interest rate swap designated as a cash flow hedge associated with the repayment of a $50 million variable interest rate FHLB advance that was being hedged. United recognized a $3.06 million before-tax gain on the termination of the swap.

The following tables set forth certain information regarding the interest rate derivatives portfolio used for interest-rate risk management purposes and designated as accounting hedges under SFAS 133 at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2007:

On January 1, 2006, United adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 123R (SFAS 123R) using the modified prospective transition method. Under this transition method, compensation cost to be

On December 30, 2005, the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors of United approved the accelerated vesting of all unvested stock options granted prior to December 30, 2005 to United employees, including Executive Officers, under the 2001 Stock Option Plan. As a result of the vesting acceleration, options to purchase 547,626 shares of United common stock became exercisable immediately. United recognized a pre-tax expense of approximately $21 thousand in the fourth quarter of 2005 for those accelerated options that were “in-the-money”, that is, the option’s exercise price was less than the market value of United’s stock. Due to the modification to accelerate the unvested options, United did not recognize any compensation cost for ~~the~~ year 2006. In addition, no new options were granted during 2006 and the first ~~quarter~~six months of 2007. Accordingly, the adoption of SFAS 123R had no impact on United’s consolidated statements of income or net income per share.

At its March 20, 2006 regular meeting, United’s Board of Directors approved the adoption of the 2006 Stock Option Plan and directed that the 2006 Stock Option Plan be submitted to United’s shareholders for approval at its Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the 2006 Annual Meeting). At the 2006 Annual Meeting, held on May 15, 2006, United’s shareholders approved the 2006 Stock Option Plan. The 2006 Stock Option Plan thus became effective at the time of the shareholders’ approval. A total of 1,500,000 shares of United’s authorized but unissued common stock are allocated for the 2006 Stock Option Plan. Each plan year, 400,000 options will be available for award to eligible employees; however, not all 400,000 options are required to be awarded in that year. All options granted under the 2006 Stock Option Plan will be non-statutory stock options (NSOs), i.e. options that do not qualify as incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code. Subject to certain change in control provisions, recipients of options will be fully vested in and permitted to exercise options granted under the 2006 Stock Option Plan three years from the grant date. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2007, no shares have been granted under the 2006 Stock Option Plan. Any stock options granted under the 2006 Stock Option Plan in the future will be subject to the provisions of SFAS 123R.

United currently has options outstanding from various option plans other than the 2006 Stock Option Plan (the “Prior Plans”); however, no common shares of United stock are available for grants under the Prior Plans as these plans have expired. Awards outstanding under the Prior Plans will remain in effect in accordance with their respective terms.

In addition to the stock options detailed above, United has outstanding stock options related to a deferred compensation plan assumed in the 1998 merger with George Mason Bankshares, Inc. (GMBS). The stock options granted under this deferred compensation plan were to former directors of GMBS. These options carry no exercise cost, contain no expiration date, and are eligible for dividends. Other than additional options granted through reinvestment of dividends received, United does not issue additional options under this deferred compensation plan. Options outstanding at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2007 were ~~19,224.~~19,379. Options granted through the reinvestment of dividends during the first ~~three~~six months of 2007 were ~~137.~~292. No options were exercised during the first ~~three~~six months of 2007. United records compensation expense for this plan based on the number of options outstanding and United’s quoted market price of its common stock with an equivalent adjustment to the associated liability.

Cash received from options exercised under the Plans for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2007 and 2006 was ~~$1.05~~$1.15 million and ~~$3.87~~$4.32 million, respectively. During the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2007 and 2006, ~~81,228~~105,773 and ~~165,289~~184,254 shares, respectively, were issued in connection with stock option exercises. All shares issued in connection with stock option exercises were issued from available treasury stock for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2007 and 2006. The total intrinsic value of options exercised under the Plans during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2007 and 2006 was ~~$1.22~~$1.63 million and ~~$2.20~~$2.45 million, respectively.

SFAS 123R also requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost to be reported as a financing cash flow, rather than as an operating cash flow as required under previous standards. This requirement will reduce net operating cash flows and increase net financing cash flows in periods after adoption. While the company cannot estimate what those amounts will be in the future (because they depend on, among other things, the date employees exercise stock options), United recognized cash flows from financing activities of ~~$343~~$435 thousand and ~~$385~~$431 thousand from excess tax benefits related to share-based compensation for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

13. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

United has a defined benefit retirement plan covering substantially all employees. Pension benefits are based on years of service and the average of the employee’s highest five consecutive plan years of basic compensation paid during the ten plan years preceding the date of determination. United’s funding policy is

to contribute annually the maximum amount that can be deducted for federal income tax purposes. Contributions are intended to provide not only for benefits attributed to service to date, but also for those expected to be earned in the future.

On December 31, 2006, United adopted the recognition and disclosure provision of Statement No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans”. SFAS 158 requires United to recognize the funded status of its defined benefit post-retirement plan in the statement of financial position, with a corresponding adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax. The adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income at adoption represents the net unrecognized actuarial losses, unrecognized prior service costs, and unrecognized transition obligation remaining from the initial adoption of SFAS 87, all of which were previously netted against the plan’s funded status in United’s statement of financial positions pursuant to the provisions of SFAS 87. These amounts will be subsequently recognized as net periodic pension cost pursuant to United’s historical accounting policy for amortizing such

amounts. Further, actuarial gains and losses that arise in subsequent periods and are not recognized as net periodic pension cost in the same periods will be recognized as a component of other comprehensive income. Those amounts will be subsequently recognized as a component of net periodic pension cost on the same basis as the amounts recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income at adoption of Statement 158.

The incremental effects of adopting the provision of Statement 158 on United’s statement of financial position at December 31, 2006 are presented in the following table. The adoption of Statement 158 had no effect on United’s consolidated statement of income for the year of 2006 and it will not affect United’s operating results in future periods.

Included in accumulated other comprehensive income at December 31, 2006 are the following amounts that have not yet been recognized in net periodic pension cost: unrecognized transition asset of $701 ($425 net of tax), unrecognized prior service costs of $9 ($6 net of tax) and unrecognized actuarial losses of $13,909 ($8,430 net of tax). The expected amortization of the transition asset, prior service cost, and actuarial loss included in accumulated other comprehensive income ~~and expected~~ to be recognized in ~~net periodic pension cost during~~ the ~~fiscal~~Income Statement for the year ended December 31, 2007 is $175 ($105 net of tax), $1 ($1 net of tax), and $593 ($356 net of tax), respectively.

14. INCOME TAXES

In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation (FIN) No. 48 (FIN 48), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”, to address concerns regarding comparability in reported tax assets and liabilities in an enterprise’s financial statements resulting from a lack of specific guidance in FASB Statement No. 109 (SFAS 109), “Accounting for Income ~~Taxes.”~~Taxes”. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold of more-likely-than-not, and a measurement attribute for all tax positions taken on a tax return, in order for those tax positions to be recognized in the financial statements. United has adopted FIN 48 as of January 1, 2007, as required. The cumulative effect of adopting FIN 48 was $300 thousand which was recorded in retained earnings. Also, certain amounts have been reclassified in the statement of financial position in order to comply with the requirements of the statement.

As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2007, United has provided a liability for ~~$8.6~~$8.8 million of unrecognized tax benefits related to various federal and state income tax matters. Of this amount, the amount that would impact United’s effective tax rate, if recognized, is ~~$6.2~~$6.1 million. Over the next 12 months, the statute of limitations will close on certain income tax returns filed by an acquired subsidiary. As a result, United expects to recognize approximately ~~$2.0~~$2.2 million in tax benefits, which ~~when recognized~~ will have no impact on United’s tax ~~expense.~~expense upon recognition.

United is currently open to audit under the statute of limitations by the Internal Revenue Service and State Taxing authorities for the years ended December 31, 2003 through 2006.

As of January 1, 2007, United accrued $450 thousand of interest related to uncertain tax positions. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2007, the total amount of accrued interest was ~~$468~~$485 thousand. United accounts for interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as part of its provision for federal and state income taxes.

15. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

The components of total comprehensive income for the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2007 and 2006 are as follows:

Item 2.		MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Congress passed the Private Securities Litigation Act of 1995 to encourage corporations to provide investors with information about the company’s anticipated future financial performance, goals, and strategies. The act provides a safe harbor for such disclosure, in other words, protection from unwarranted litigation if actual results are not the same as management expectations.

United desires to provide its shareholders with sound information about past performance and future trends. Consequently, any forward-looking statements contained in this report, in a report incorporated by reference to this report, or made by management of United in this report, in any other reports and filings, in press releases and in oral statements, involves numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties.

Actual results could differ materially from those contained in or implied by United’s statements for a variety of factors including, but not limited to: changes in economic conditions; movements in interest rates; competitive pressures on product pricing and services; success and timing of business strategies; the nature and extent of governmental actions and reforms; and rapidly changing technology and evolving banking industry standards.

SUBSEQUENT EVENT

At the opening of business on July 14, 2007, United acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock of Premier Community Bankshares, Inc. (Premier) of Winchester, Virginia. The results of operations of Premier, which are not significant, will be included in the consolidated results of operations from the date of acquisition. The acquisition of Premier expands United’s presence in the rapidly growing and economically attractive Metro DC area and affords United the opportunity to enter new Virginia markets in the Winchester, Harrisonburg and Charlottesville areas.

At consummation, Premier had assets of approximately $911 million, loans of $759 million, deposits of $716 million and shareholders’ equity of $71 million. Premier added 26 office locations in the northwestern and central parts of Virginia and the eastern panhandle of West Virginia. Two of Premier’s three wholly owned banking subsidiaries, The Marathon Bank and Rockingham Heritage Bank, were merged into United’s Virginia banking subsidiary, United Bank. Premier’s third wholly owned banking subsidiary, Premier Bank, was merged with United’s West Virginia banking subsidiary, United Bank, Inc. Following completion of the merger with Premier, United has 115 full service offices in West Virginia, Virginia, Maryland, Ohio and Washington, D.C. The transaction was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Please refer to Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on this acquisition.

APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting and reporting policies of United conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates, assumptions and judgments are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates. These policies, along

with the disclosures presented in the other financial statement notes and in this financial review, provide information on how significant assets and liabilities are valued in the financial statements and how those values are determined. Based on the valuation techniques used and the sensitivity of financial statement amounts to the methods, assumptions, and estimates underlying those amounts, management has identified the determination of the allowance for credit losses, the valuation of derivative instruments, and the calculation of the income tax provision to be the accounting areas that require the most subjective or complex judgments, and as such could be most subject to revision as new information becomes available.

The allowance for credit losses represents management’s estimate of the probable credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Management’s evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses and the appropriate provision for credit losses is based on a quarterly evaluation of the portfolio. This evaluation is inherently subjective and requires significant estimates, including the amounts and timing of estimated future cash flows, estimated losses on pools of loans based on historical loss experience, and consideration of current economic trends, all of which are susceptible to constant and significant change. The amounts allocated to specific credits and loan pools grouped by similar risk characteristics are reviewed on a quarterly basis and adjusted as necessary based upon subsequent changes in circumstances. In determining the components of the allowance for credit losses, management considers the risk arising in part from, but not limited to, charge-off and delinquency trends, current economic and business conditions, lending policies and procedures, the size and risk characteristics of the loan portfolio, concentrations of credit, and other

various factors. Loans deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance for loan losses, while recoveries of previously charged-off amounts are credited to the allowance for loan losses. The methodology used to determine the allowance for credit losses is described in Note 5 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements. A discussion of the factors leading to changes in the amount of the allowance for credit losses is included in the Provision for Credit Losses section of this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

United uses derivative instruments as part of its risk management activities to help protect the value of certain assets and liabilities against adverse price or interest rate movements. All derivative instruments are carried at fair value on the balance sheet. The valuation of these derivative instruments is considered critical because carrying assets and liabilities at fair value inherently results in more financial statement volatility. The fair values and the information used to record valuation adjustments for certain assets and liabilities are provided by third party sources. Because the majority of the derivative instruments are used to protect the value of other assets and liabilities on the balance sheet, changes in the value of the derivative instruments are typically offset by changes in the value of the assets and liabilities being hedged, although income statement volatility can occur if the derivative instruments are not effective in hedging changes in the value of those assets and liabilities.

United’s calculation of income tax provision is complex and requires the use of estimates and judgments in its determination. As part of United’s analysis and implementation of business strategies, consideration is given to tax laws and regulations which may affect the transaction under evaluation. This analysis includes the amount and timing of the realization of income tax liabilities or benefits. United strives to keep abreast of changes in the tax laws and the issuance of regulations which may impact tax reporting and provisions for income tax expense. United is also subject to audit by federal and state authorities. Because the application of tax laws is subject to varying interpretations, results of these audits may produce indicated liabilities which differ from United’s estimates and provisions. United continually evaluates its exposure to possible tax assessments arising from audits and records its estimate of probable exposure based on current facts and circumstances.

Any material effect on the financial statements related to these critical accounting areas are further discussed in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following is a broad overview of the financial condition and results of operations and is not intended to replace the more detailed discussion, which is presented under specific headings on the following pages.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

United’s total assets as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2007 were ~~$6.57~~$6.63 billion, down ~~$145.84~~$85.49 million or ~~2.17%~~1.27% from year-end 2006, primarily the result of declines in ~~portfolio loans,~~investment securities, cash and cash equivalents ~~and investment securities~~ of ~~$90.45~~$55.63 million or ~~1.88%, $38.84~~4.36% and $39.93 million or ~~14.99%, and $16.49 million or 1.29%~~15.42%, respectively. The decrease in total assets is reflected in a corresponding decrease in total liabilities of ~~$150.49~~$90.56 million or ~~2.47%~~1.49% from year-end 2006. The decrease in total liabilities was due mainly to a reduction of ~~$86.62~~$121.20 million or ~~1.79%~~2.51% in ~~deposits and a $78.18 million or 6.62% decline in borrowings.~~deposits. Partially offsetting ~~these decreases~~this decrease in deposits ~~and borrowings~~ was an increase in ~~accrued expenses and other liabilities~~borrowings of ~~$14.72~~$35.91 million or ~~22.60%~~3.04%. Shareholders’ equity remained fairly consistent, ~~as it increased $4.66~~increasing $5.07 million or less than 1% from year-end 2006. The following discussion explains in more detail the changes in financial condition by major category.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents decreased ~~$38.84~~$39.93 million or ~~14.99% comparing March 31, 2007 to year-end 2006.~~15.42% during the first half of 2007. Of this total decrease, cash and due from banks decreased $41.35 million or 19.00% and interest-bearing deposits decreased ~~$61.24~~$7.26 million or ~~28.15% and $11.14 million or 48.67%, respectively,~~31.71% while federal funds sold increased ~~$33.54 million.~~$8.67 million or 46.68%. During the first ~~three~~six months of 2007, net cash of ~~$37.80~~$45.68 million and ~~$108.90~~$42.39 million was provided by operating activities and investing activities, respectively. Net cash of ~~$185.54~~$128.00 million was used in financing activities. See the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for data on cash and cash equivalents provided and used in operating, investing and financing activities for the first ~~three~~six months of 2007 and 2006.

Securities

Total investment securities at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2007 decreased ~~$16.49~~$55.63 million or ~~1.29% since~~4.36% from year-end 2006. Securities available for sale were relatively flat, decreasing ~~$9.86~~$6.38 million or less than 1%. This change in securities available for sale reflects ~~$85.47~~$225.82 million in sales, maturities and calls of securities, ~~$73.16~~$224.73 million in purchases, and ~~an increase~~a decrease of ~~$2.96~~$4.51 million in market value. Securities held to maturity decreased ~~$7.30~~$45.67 million or ~~3.44%~~21.51% from year-end 2006 due to calls and maturities of securities. ~~Other investment securities increased $667 thousand or 1.26% due to required purchases of FHLB stock.~~ The amortized cost and estimated fair value of investment securities, including types and remaining maturities, is presented in Note 3 to the unaudited Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Loans

Loans held for sale increased ~~$190~~$660 thousand or ~~9.31%~~32.34% as loan originations slightly exceeded loan sales in the secondary market during the first ~~three~~six months of 2007. Portfolio loans, net of unearned income, ~~decreased $90.45~~remained fairly stable, growing $6.08 million or ~~1.88%~~less than 1% from year-end 2006 due mainly to ~~decreases~~an increase in ~~several~~the commercial loan ~~categories.~~portfolio. Since year-end 2006, commercial real estate loans and commercial loans (not secured by real estate) ~~decreased $69.81~~increased $91.96 million or ~~7.32%~~8.02% and $5.71 million or less than 1%, respectively. Loans secured by other real estate increased $7.79 million or 6.49%. Virtually offsetting these increases were decreases in construction loans of $73.03 million or 13.96%, single-family residential real estate loans ~~declined $28.20~~of $19.29 million or ~~1.64%~~1.12%, ~~construction loans decreased $21.36 million or 4.08%~~ and consumer loans ~~declined $4.97~~of $7.33 million or ~~1.42%~~2.10%. ~~These decreases were partially offset by an increase in commercial real estate loans of $30.35 million or 2.65% from year-end 2006.~~

For a further discussion of loans see Note 4 to the unaudited Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Other Assets

Other assets ~~were relatively flat, increasing $1.25~~increased $5.94 million or ~~less than 1%~~3.34% from year-end 2006 due mainly to a ~~$1.46~~$2.79 million increase in the cash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance ~~policies.~~policies, a $2.22 million increase in accounts receivable for the call of a held-to-maturity security, and a $1.15 million increase in deferred tax assets due to a decrease in the market value of available-for-sale securities. Partially offsetting ~~this increase~~these increases was a decrease in core ~~deposit~~deposits intangibles of ~~$408~~$790 thousand from year-end 2006 due to amortization.

Deposits

Total deposits at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2007 declined ~~$86.62~~$121.20 million or ~~1.79%~~2.51% since year-end 2006. In terms of composition, noninterest-bearing deposits decreased ~~$70.60~~$74.83 million or ~~7.82%~~8.28% while interest-bearing deposits ~~were relatively flat, decreasing $16.02~~decreased $46.37 million or ~~less than 1%~~1.18% from December 31, 2006. The decrease in noninterest-bearing deposits was due mainly to a decrease in official checks of ~~$40.97~~$44.12 million ~~due to~~as a result of a large amount of loan proceeds checks at year-end 2006. Commercial ~~noninterest bearing~~noninterest-bearing deposits declined ~~$35.66~~$14.81 million or ~~6.23%~~2.59% as customers shifted money into interest-bearing products.

The decrease in interest-bearing deposits was due mainly to a decrease of ~~$106.40~~$80.06 million ~~or 7.85%~~ in ~~interest bearing~~interest-bearing money market accounts (MMDAs). Partially offsetting this decline in ~~interest bearing~~interest-bearing MMDAs was a growth in time deposits ~~under $100,000 of $59.91 million or 4.55% and time deposits~~ over $100,000 of ~~$18.41~~$32.69 million or ~~2.38%. These increases in time deposits are~~4.22% primarily due to higher interest rates.

Total borrowings at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2007 ~~decreased $78.18~~increased $35.91 million or ~~6.62%~~3.04% during the first ~~three~~six months of 2007. Since year-end 2006, short-term borrowings ~~decreased $102.81~~increased $11.32 million or ~~15.07%~~1.66% due to increases of $96.77 million and $36.82 million in securities sold under agreements to repurchase and federal funds purchased, respectively. These increases were partially offset by a $120 million reduction in overnight FHLB borrowings. ~~Federal funds purchased decreased $29.03 million or 29.71% while securities sold under agreements to repurchase increased $49.85 million or 10.82% since year-end 2006.~~ Long-term borrowings increased ~~$24.63~~$24.59 million or ~~4.93%~~4.92% due primarily to a new long-term FHLB borrowing of $25 million during the ~~quarter.~~first quarter of 2007.

In June 2007, United prepaid two $100 million long-term FHLB advances and terminated two interest rate swaps associated with the advances. In addition, United prepaid approximately $28.9 million of a $100 million long-term convertible FHLB advance. United incurred a before-tax charge of approximately $786 thousand to prepay the debt and a before-tax gain of $787 thousand on the termination of the interest rate swaps. United replaced the $228.9 million of debt with a 3-year FHLB advance and an associated interest rate swap.

For a further discussion of borrowings see Notes 8 and 9 to the unaudited Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Accrued expenses and other liabilities at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2007 ~~increased $14.72~~decreased $4.37 million or ~~22.60%~~6.72% from year-end

2006 due mainly asto a ~~result of an increase~~decrease in income taxes payable of ~~$12.90~~$3.18 million due to a timing difference in ~~payments. In addition,~~payments and a decrease in the derivative liability of $2.47 million associated with the interest rate swaps that were terminated in the second quarter of 2007. Partially offsetting these decreases was an increase in interest payable ~~increased $530 thousand~~of $1.19 million due to higher interest rates on time ~~deposits and derivative liabilities increased $645 thousand due to a change in value.~~deposits.

Shareholders’ Equity

Shareholders’ equity at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2007 was relatively flat from December 31, 2006, increasing ~~$4.66~~$5.07 million or less than 1% as United continued to balance capital adequacy and the return to shareholders. The increase in shareholders’ equity was due mainly to earnings net of dividends declared which equaled ~~$12.96~~$26.10 million for the ~~quarter.~~first half of 2007. Partially offsetting this increase was a rise in treasury stock of ~~$8.73~~$18.59 million due to repurchases of United shares by the Company and a decline in surplus of ~~$1.10~~$1.53 million due to the exercise of stock options.

During the first ~~three~~six months of 2007, a total of ~~298,500~~613,500 shares were repurchased under a ~~plan approved by United’s Board of Directors. United has repurchased 957,800 shares under the current~~ plan approved by United’s Board of Directors in May of 2006 to repurchase up to 1.7 million shares of United’s common stock on the open market. Since its inception, United has repurchased a total of 1,272,800 shares under the plan as of June 30, 2007.

Accumulated other comprehensive income ~~increased $1.83 million~~decreased $335 thousand due mainly to ~~an increase~~a decrease of ~~$1.92~~$2.94 million, net of deferred income taxes, in the fair value of United’s available for sale investment portfolio, which was partially offset by ~~a decrease~~an increase of ~~$400 thousand,~~$1.56 million, net of deferred income taxes, in the fair value adjustments on cash flow hedges.

Provision for Credit Losses

At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2007, nonperforming loans were ~~$11.48~~$17.71 million or ~~0.24%~~0.37% of loans, net of unearned income compared to nonperforming loans of $14.19 million or 0.30% of loans, net of unearned income at December 31, 2006, respectively. The components of nonperforming loans include nonaccrual loans and loans, which are contractually past due 90 days or more as to interest or principal, but have not been put on a nonaccrual

basis. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2007, nonaccrual loans were ~~$6.07~~$7.84 million, an increase of ~~$313 thousand~~$2.09 million or ~~5.44%~~36.26% from $5.76 million at year-end 2006. ~~This increase was due mainly to the addition of one commercial loan in the amount of $430 thousand being placed on nonaccrual status as of March 31, 2007.~~ Loans past due 90 days or more were ~~$5.42~~$9.87 million at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2007, ~~a decline~~an increase of ~~$3.02~~$1.44 million or ~~35.77%~~17.04% from $8.43 million since year-end 2006. The ~~reduction was due to several small commercial~~increases in nonaccrual loans ~~totaling $2.71 million at December 31, 2006 no longer~~and loans past due 90 days or more ~~at March 31,~~were due mainly to the addition of certain residential real estate construction credits originated by a former United loan officer with an outstanding balance of $4.11 million being either 90-plus days delinquent or on nonaccrual status as of June 30, 2007. Total nonperforming assets of ~~$15.48~~$21.79 million, including OREO of ~~$3.99~~$4.07 million at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2007, represented ~~0.24%~~0.33% of total assets at the end of the ~~first quarter.~~second quarter which compares favorably to United’s most recently reported peer group banking companies’ (bank holding companies with total assets between $5 and $10 billion) percentage of 0.36%. For a summary of nonperforming assets, see Note 6 to the unaudited Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2007, impaired loans were ~~$26.19~~$29.05 million, which was an increase of ~~$4.22~~$7.09 million ~~or 19.24%~~ from the $21.96 million in impaired loans at December 31, 2006. This increase in impaired loans was due primarily to the addition of ~~several~~one large collateralized commercial credit with a balance of $4.64 million and to an increase of $3.32 million from the above mentioned certain residential real estate construction ~~loans totaling approximately $4.35 million. The loans are collateralized by land, some~~credits. Charge-offs of $1.71 million were recognized on the real estate construction credits during the second quarter of 2007 which were previously reported as impaired with ~~partially completed homes.~~specific allowances allocated in the company’s allowance for credit losses. Based on current information and events, United believes it is probable that the borrowers will not be able to repay all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreements and therefore, specific allowances in the company’s allowance for credit losses have been allocated for all of these loans. For further details regarding impaired loans, see Note 6 to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

United evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses and its loan administration policies are focused upon the risk characteristics of the loan portfolio. United’s process for evaluating the allowance is a formal company-wide process that focuses on early identification of potential problem credits and procedural discipline in managing and accounting for those credits. This process determines the appropriate level of the allowance for credit losses, allocation among loan types and lending-related commitments, and the resulting provision for credit losses.

United maintains an allowance for loan losses and an allowance for lending-related commitments. The combined allowances for loan losses and lending-related commitments are referred to as the allowance for credit losses. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2007, the allowance for credit losses was ~~$52.39~~$51.22 million as compared to $52.37 million at December 31, 2006. As a percentage of loans, net of unearned income, the allowance for credit losses was ~~1.11%~~1.06% at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2007 and 1.09% of loans, net of unearned income at December 31, 2006. The ratio of the allowance for credit losses to nonperforming loans was ~~456.2%~~289.20% and 369.2% at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.

The provision for credit losses for the first six months of 2007 and 2006 was $1.20 million and $598 thousand, respectively. For the quarters ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2007 and 2006, the provision for credit losses was ~~$350~~$850 thousand and ~~$250~~$348 thousand, respectively. Net charge-offs for the first six months of 2007 were ~~$336~~$2.35 million as compared to $574 thousand for the first six months of 2006. Net charge-offs were $2.02 million for the second quarter of 2007 as compared to net charge-offs of ~~$156~~$418 thousand for the same quarter in 2006. Annualized net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans were 0.17% and 0.10% for the second quarter and first half of 2007, respectively. These ratios compare favorably to United’s most recently

~~Allocations are made~~In determining the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses, management makes allocations to specific commercial loans ~~based upon management’s estimate~~classified by management as to the level of risk. Management determines the loan’s risk by considering the borrowers’ ability to repay, the collateral securing the credit and other borrower-specific factors ~~impacting~~that may impact collectibility. Specific loss allocations are based on the present value of expected future cash flows using the loan’s effective interest rate, or as a practical expedient, at the loan’s observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral-dependent. Other commercial loans not specifically reviewed on an individual basis are evaluated based on loan pools, which are grouped by similar risk characteristics using management’s internal risk ratings. Allocations for these commercial loan pools are determined based upon historical loss ~~percentages applied to loan pools that have been segregated by risk.~~experience adjusted for current conditions and risk factors. Allocations for loans, other than commercial loans, are ~~made based upon~~developed by applying historical loss experience adjusted for current ~~conditions.~~conditions and risk factors to loan pools grouped by similar risk characteristics. While allocations are made to specific loans and pools of loans, the allowance is available for all credit losses. The allowance for imprecision is a relatively small component of the total allowance for credit losses ~~includes estimated probable inherent but undetected losses within~~and recognizes the ~~portfolio due to uncertainties in economic conditions, delays in obtaining information, including unfavorable information about a borrower’s financial condition,~~normal variance resulting from the difficulty in identifying triggering events that correlate perfectly to subsequent loss rates, and risk factors that have not yet fully manifested themselves in loss allocation factors. In addition, a portionprocess of the allowance accounts for the inherent imprecision in the allowance for credit losses analysis. Over the past several years, United has grown through acquisition, and accordingly, expanded the geographic area in which it operates. As a result, historicalestimation. Differences between actual loan loss experience ~~data used~~and estimates are reviewed on a quarterly basis and adjustments are made to ~~establish allocation estimates might not precisely correspond to the current portfolio in these other geographic areas.~~those estimates.

United’s formal company-wide process at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2007 produced decreased allocations in three of the four loan categories. The components of the allowance allocated to commercial loans decreased by ~~$913 thousand~~$1.9 million due to the impact of lower ~~loan volume,~~ historical loss rates and qualitative factors. Consumer loans decreased $6$135 thousand as a result of decreases in historical loss rates, loan volume and qualitative factors offset somewhat by increased allocations for overdrafts. The components of the allowance allocated to real estate loans decreased by ~~$315~~$330 thousand due to reductions in high loan to value outstandings, as well as changes in loan volume and qualitative factors. The increase in the real estate construction loan pool partially offset the decreases in other pools. ItAllocations rose during the ~~quarter~~first six months by ~~$2.1~~$1 million primarily due to adjustments in historical loss rates and a new specific allocation of ~~$1.9~~$1.3 million related to ~~one~~the troubled real estate construction loan ~~relationship.~~relationship mentioned previously. The unfunded commitments liability decreased by ~~$415~~$893 thousand ~~and stood at $8.3~~to $7.8 million.

An allowance is ~~also~~ established for probable credit losses on impaired loans via specific allocations. Nonperforming commercial loans and leases are regularly reviewed to identify impairment. A loan or lease is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the bank will not be able to collect all amounts contractually due. Measuring impairment of a loan requires judgment and estimates, and the eventual outcomes may differ from those estimates. Impairment is measured based upon the present value of expected future cash flows from the loan discounted at the loan’s effective rate, the loan’s observable market price or the fair value of collateral, if the loan is collateral dependent. When the selected measure is less than the recorded investment in the loan, an impairment has occurred. The allowance for impaired loans was ~~$4.7~~$4.9 million at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2007 and $3.0 million at December 31, 2006. Compared to the prior year-end, this element of the allowance increased by ~~$1.7~~$1.9 million primarily due to the aforementioned impairment of a large relationship involving real estate construction loans.

An allowance is also recognized for imprecision inherent in loan loss migration models and other estimates

~~31,~~June 30, 2007 by ~~$431 thousand~~$1.1 million to ~~$1.2~~$2.8 million. This represents only ~~2.3%~~5.48% of the bank’s total allowance for credit loss and in as much as this variance ~~is within~~approximates a ~~pre determined~~predetermined narrow parameter, the methodology has confirmed that the ~~Bank’s~~Company’s allowance for credit loss is at an appropriate level.

Management believes that the allowance for credit losses of ~~$52.39~~$51.22 million at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2007 is adequate to provide for probable losses on existing loans and loan-related commitments based on information currently available.

United’s loan administration policies are focused on the risk characteristics of the loan portfolio in terms of loan approval and credit quality. The commercial loan portfolio is monitored for possible concentrations of credit in one or more industries. Management has lending limits as a percentage of capital per type of credit concentration in an effort to ensure adequate diversification within the portfolio. Most of United’s commercial loans are secured by real estate located in West Virginia, Southeastern Ohio, Virginia and Maryland. It is the opinion of management that these commercial loans do not pose any unusual risks and that adequate consideration has been given to these loans in establishing the allowance for credit losses.

Management is not aware of any potential problem loans, trends or uncertainties, which it reasonably expects, will materially impact future operating results, liquidity, or capital resources which have not been disclosed. Additionally, management has disclosed all known material credits, which cause management to have serious doubts as to the ability of such borrowers to comply with the loan repayment schedules.

Other Income

Other income consists of all revenues, which are not included in interest and fee income related to earning assets. Noninterest income has been and will continue to be an important factor for improving United’s profitability. Recognizing the importance, management continues to evaluate areas where noninterest income can be enhanced.

Noninterest income was $31.44 million for the first six months of 2007, up $3.35 million or 11.94% when compared to the first six months of 2006. For the second quarter of 2007, noninterest income was ~~$14.92~~$16.53 million, ~~which was~~ an increase of ~~$1.25~~$2.10 million or ~~9.18%~~14.56% from the ~~first~~second quarter of 2006.

The rise in noninterest income in the first six months of 2007 from the ~~previous year’s first quarter~~same period in 2006 was ~~primarily~~ due in large part to an increase of ~~$526~~$839 thousand or ~~17.42%~~5.91% in fees from deposit services mainly as a result of United’s High Performance Checking program. For the second quarter of 2007, fees from deposit services increased $652 thousand or 9.03% as compared to the same period in 2006. In particular, insufficient funds (NSF) fees increased $768 thousand and $425 thousand during the first six months and second quarter of 2007, respectively, and check card fees increased $430 thousand and $237 thousand, respectively. Deposit service charges and account analysis fees declined $206 thousand and $149 thousand, respectively, for the first six months of 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006. For the second quarter of 2007, deposit service

charges and account analysis fees declined $63 thousand and $44 thousand, respectively, compared to the second quarter of 2006.

Revenue from trust and brokerage ~~services.~~services for the first half of 2007 grew $642 thousand or 9.63% from the first half of 2006. For the second quarter of 2007, revenue from trust and brokerage services grew $116 thousand or 3.18% from the prior year’s second quarter. United continues its efforts to broaden the scope and activity of its trust and brokerage service areas, especially in the northern Virginia market, to provide additional sources of fee income that complement United’s traditional banking products and services. The northern Virginia market provides a relatively large number of potential customers with high per capita incomes.

Fees from deposit services grew $187 thousand or 2.67% in the first quarter of 2007 from last year’s first quarter mainly as a result of United’s High Performance Checking program. In particular, insufficient funds (NSF) fees increased $343 thousand and check card fees increased $193 thousand. Deposit service charges and account analysis fees declined $143 thousand and $104 thousand, respectively, for the first quarter of 2007 as compared to the first quarter of 2006.

Income from bank-owned life insurance increased ~~$416~~$682 thousand or ~~39.88% in~~32.41% and $266 thousand or 25.07% for the first half and second quarter of 2007, ~~from~~

respectively, as compared to last year’s income during the ~~first quarter of 2006~~same periods due to an increase in the cash surrender value.

Mortgage banking income decreased ~~$68~~$56 thousand or ~~29.69%~~14.78% due to ~~fewer~~a lower spread on mortgage loan sales despite an increase in sales in the secondary market during the first ~~quarter~~six months of 2007 as compared to last year’s first ~~quarter.~~six months. Mortgage loan sales were ~~$10.49~~$22.72 million in the first ~~three months~~half 2007 as compared to $22.30 million in the first half of 2006. Mortgage banking income for the second quarter of 2007 increased $12 thousand or 8.00% when compared to the same period in 2006 due to more sales. Mortgage loan sales were $12.23 million in the second quarter of 2007 as compared to ~~$12.31million~~$9.99 million in the ~~first three months~~second quarter of 2006.

Other income increased ~~$235~~$194 thousand for the first half of 2007, but decreased $41 thousand for the second quarter of ~~2007 due mainly to an increase in income of $256 thousand~~2007. Income from the outsourcing of official checks ~~processing.~~processing for the first half and second quarter of 2007 increased $376 thousand and $120 thousand, respectively, over the same periods last year. Residual income from prior third party asset securitizations decreased $95 thousand and $61 thousand for the first half and second quarter of 2007, respectively.

On a linked-quarter basis, noninterest income ~~for~~increased $1.61 million or 10.79% from the first quarter of ~~2007 increased $184 thousand or 1.25% from the fourth quarter of 2006.~~2007. This increase was ~~primarily due to growth in income~~partly because of a before-tax gain of $787 thousand on the termination of two interest rate swaps associated with prepayment of two $100 million long-term Federal Home Loan Bank advances. Additionally, deposit service fees increased $691 thousand or 9.63% while revenue from trust and brokerage services ~~of $455~~increased $217 thousand or ~~14.72%. Income from bank-owned life insurance increased $322 thousand or 28.32% due~~6.12% for the second quarter of 2007 as compared to ~~an increase in~~ the ~~cash surrender value. Partially offsetting these increases was a decrease~~first quarter of ~~$324 thousand in fees from deposit services due to seasonality and a decline of $526 thousand in residual income from prior third party asset securitizations.~~2007.

Other Expenses

Just as management continues to evaluate areas where noninterest income can be enhanced, it strives to improve the efficiency of its operations to reduce costs. Other expenses include all items of expense other than interest expense, the provision for loan losses, and income taxes. For the first six months of 2007, noninterest expenses were relatively flat, decreasing $360 thousand or less than 1% from the first six months of 2006. Noninterest expenses increased $333 thousand or 1.04% for the second quarter of 2007 compared to the same period in 2006. Noninterest expense for the first half and second quarter of 2007 ~~was $31.50~~included a before-tax penalty of $786 thousand to prepay approximately $28.9 million of a ~~decrease of $693 thousand or 2.15% from the first quarter of 2006.~~$100 million long-term convertible FHLB advance.

~~The decrease in noninterest~~

Otherwise, salaries and benefits expense for the first half and second quarter of 2007 ~~was primarily due to a $353 thousand~~declined $1.67 million or ~~2.34% decrease in salaries~~5.38% and ~~benefits expense as compared to~~$1.32 million or 8.26%, respectively, from the same ~~period~~time periods last year. The decrease in salaries and benefits expense from last year was due primarily to ~~lower~~a decrease in pension expense. During the third quarter of 2006, United made a significant contribution to its pension plan as allowed by the Pension Protection Act of 2006. This large contribution will result in decreased pension expense for United in the year 2007 as compared to 2006. Pension expense for the first half and second quarter of 2007 decreased ~~$671~~$1.43 million and $757 thousand from the ~~first quarter of 2006.~~

~~The remainder of the decrease~~same periods in noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2007 from the same time period last year was due primarily to lower expenses related to United’s High Performance Checking program that was launched in the first quarter of 2006. Marketing and related costs of United’s High Performance Checking program declined $538 thousand in the first quarter of 2007 from the first quarter of 2006.

Net occupancy expense for the first ~~quarter~~six months of 2007 increased $143 thousand or ~~4.32%~~2.22% from the first ~~quarter~~six months of 2006 ~~and was~~ due mainly to increases in ~~utilities expense and~~ real property ~~taxes.~~ taxes and building rental expense. Net occupancy expense for the second quarter of 2007 was flat from the second quarter of 2006.

Data processing expense increased ~~$260~~$1.00 million or 33.95% and $742 thousand or ~~17.80%~~49.80% for the first half and second quarter of 2007, respectively, as compared to the first half and second quarter of 2006. The increase was primarily due to additional outsourcing of ~~data~~ processing ~~functions.~~functions and a change in processing procedures. The outsourcing of functions was partially offset by a reduction in personnel expense while the change in processing procedures is expected to result in future cost savings as United meets the requirements of Check 21.

Other expenses decreased $558 thousand or ~~5.88%~~2.99% for the first ~~quarter~~six months of 2007 as compared to the ~~same period~~first half of ~~2006 due to lower~~2006. Other expenses ~~related to United’s High Performance Checking program. As previously mentioned, United’s marketing and related costs related to its High Performance Checking program declined $538~~for second quarter of 2007 were flat from the ~~first~~second quarter of 2006.

~~On a linked-quarter basis, noninterest~~ Included in other expense ~~decreased $1.11 million or 3.41%. Salaries and benefits expense declined $797 thousand or 5.13% due mainly to a decrease in pension expense of $902 thousand related to~~are the ~~previously mentioned contribution in 2006. Marketing~~marketing and related costs of United’s High Performance Checking program which declined ~~$170~~$705 thousand ~~from~~and $167 thousand in the ~~fourth~~first half and second quarter of 2007, respectively, as compared to the first half and second quarter of 2006. ~~Several other general operating expenses~~Expenses related to the Premier merger were $325 thousand and $263 thousand for the first half and second quarter of 2007, respectively.

On a linked-quarter basis, noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2007 increased $1.00 million or 3.18% from the first quarter of 2007 due primarily to a before-tax penalty of $786 thousand to prepay approximately $28.9 million of a $100 million long-term convertible FHLB advance during the second quarter. Data processing expense increased $511 thousand due to the change in processing procedures. Salaries and benefits expense were relatively flat, decreasing $112 thousand or less than 1%. Net occupancy expense declined ~~as well, none~~$342 thousand or 9.90% due lower levels of ~~which was individually significant.~~utilities and building maintenance expense.

As previously discussed in Note 1211 of the unaudited Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained within this document, United adopted SFAS 123R on January 1, 2006 using the modified prospective transition method. SFAS 123R requires the measurement of all employee share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, using a fair-value based method and the recording of such expense in our consolidated statements of income. Under this transition method, compensation cost to be recognized beginning in the first quarter of 2006 included: (a) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS 123, and (b) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R. Results for prior periods were not restated. Due to a modification on December 30, 2005 to accelerate any unvested options under United’s existing stock option plans and the fact that no new options have been granted during 2006 and the first ~~three~~six months of 2007,

United did not recognize any compensation cost for the second quarter and first ~~quarter~~six months of 2007 and 2006.

The 2006 Stock Option Plan was approved by United’s shareholders on May 15, 2006. No stock options have been granted under the 2006 Stock Option Plan. Any stock options granted under the 2006 Stock Option Plan in the future will be subject to the provisions of SFAS 123R. A Form S-8 was filed on October 25, 2006 with the Securities and Exchange Commission to register all the shares available for the 2006 Stock Option Plan.

Income Taxes

For the first six months of 2007 and 2006, income taxes were $22.81 million and $23.67 million, respectively. For the second quarter of 2007, income taxes were ~~$11.33~~$11.49 million as compared to ~~$11.64~~$12.04 million for the ~~first~~second quarter of 2006. United’s effective tax rates for the first six months of 2007 and 2006 were 31.80% and 32.10%, respectively. For the quarters ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2007 and 2006, United’s effective tax rates were ~~31.70%~~31.91% and 32.10%, respectively.

As previously discussed in Note 14 of the unaudited Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained within this document, United adopted FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. FIN 48, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions, requires the recognition in the financial statements the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. The cumulative effect of adopting FIN 48 was $300 thousand which was recorded in retained earnings. Also, certain amounts have been reclassified in the statement of financial position in order to comply with the requirements of the statement.

As of March 31, 2007, United has provided a liability for $8.6 million of unrecognized tax benefits related to various federal and state income tax matters. Of this amount, the amount that would impact United’s effective tax rate, if recognized, is $6.2 million. Over the next 12 months,

the statute of limitations will close on certain income tax returns filed by an acquired subsidiary. As a result, United expects to recognize approximately $2.0 million in tax benefits, which when recognized will have no impact on United’s tax expense.

As of January 1, 2007, United accrued $450 thousand of interest related to uncertain tax positions. As of March 31, 2007, the total amount of accrued interest was $468 thousand. United accounts for interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as part of its provision for federal and state income taxes.

Contractual Obligations, Commitments, Contingent Liabilities and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

United has various financial obligations, including contractual obligations and commitments, that may require future cash payments. Please refer to United’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 for disclosures with respect to United’s fixed and determinable contractual obligations. There have been no material changes outside the ordinary course of business since year-end 2006 in the specified contractual obligations disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K.

On January 1, 2007, United adopted the provisions of FIN 48. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2007, United recorded a liability for uncertain tax positions, including interest and penalties, of ~~$8.6~~$8.8 million in accordance with FIN 48. This liability represents an estimate of tax positions that United has taken in its tax returns which may ultimately not be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. Since the ultimate amount and timing of any future cash settlements cannot be predicted with reasonable certainty, this estimated liability is excluded from the contractual obligations table.

United also enters into derivative contracts, mainly to protect against adverse interest rate movements on the value of certain assets or liabilities, under which it is required to either pay cash to or receive cash from counterparties depending on changes in interest rates. Derivative ~~contacts~~contracts are carried at fair value and not notional value on the consolidated balance sheet. Further discussion of derivative instruments is presented in Note 11 to the unaudited Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

United 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 loan commitments and standby letters of credit. United’s maximum exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparty to the financial instrument for the loan commitments and standby letters of credit is the contractual or notional amount of those instruments. United uses the same policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Further discussion of off-balance sheet commitments is included in ~~Note10~~Note 10 to the

deposits, statement and special savings and NOW accounts. These deposits are relatively stable, and they are the lowest cost source of funds available to United. To help attract these lower cost deposits, United introduced its High Performance Checking program during the first quarter of 2006. ~~Management has been very satisfied with the results of the new program, as the number of new core deposit accounts has increased substantially.~~ Short-term borrowings have also been a significant source of funds. These include federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase as well as advances from the FHLB. Repurchase agreements represent funds which are obtained as the result of a competitive bidding process.

Liquid assets are cash and those items readily convertible to cash. All banks must maintain sufficient balances of cash and near-cash items to meet the day-to-day demands of customers and United’s cash needs. Other than cash and due from banks, the available for sale securities portfolio and maturing loans are the primary sources of liquidity.

The goal of liquidity management is to ensure the ability to access funding which enables United to efficiently satisfy the cash flow requirements of depositors and borrowers and meet United’s cash needs. Liquidity is managed by monitoring ~~funds’~~funds availability from a number of primary sources. Substantial funding is available from cash and cash equivalents, unused short-term borrowing and a geographically dispersed network of branches providing access to a diversified and substantial retail deposit market.

Short-term needs can be met through a wide array of outside sources such as correspondent and downstream correspondent federal funds and utilization of Federal Home Loan Bank advances.

Other sources of liquidity available to United to provide long-term as well as short-term funding alternatives, in addition to FHLB advances, are long-term certificates of deposit, lines of credit, borrowings that are secured by bank premises or stock of United’s subsidiaries and issuances of trust preferred securities. In the normal course of business, United through its Asset Liability Committee evaluates these as well as other alternative funding strategies that may be utilized to meet short-term and long-term funding needs.

For the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2007, cash of ~~$37.80~~$45.68 million was provided by operating activities. Net cash of ~~$108.90~~$42.39 million was provided by investing activities which was primarily due to ~~a decline in loans of $90.14 million and~~ net cash ~~received~~ of ~~$20.15~~$48.49 million received for excess net proceeds from sales, calls and maturities of investment securities over purchases. During the first ~~three~~six months of 2007, net cash of ~~$185.54~~$128.00 million was used in financing activities due primarily to a decline in deposits of ~~$86.62~~$121.20 million and the repayment of overnight FHLB borrowings ~~and federal funds purchased~~ in the ~~amounts~~amount of $120 ~~million and $29.03 million, respectively, during the quarter.~~million. Other uses of cash for financing activities included payment of ~~$11.52~~$22.97 million and ~~$10.91~~$21.58 million, respectively, for cash dividends and acquisitions of United shares under the stock repurchase program. Cash provided by financing activities included an increase in securities sold under agreements to repurchase and federal funds purchased of ~~$49.85~~$96.77 million and $36.82 million,

has ~~significant~~ lines of credit available. See Notes 8 and 9 to the accompanying unaudited Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more details regarding the amounts available to United under line of credit.

The Asset Liability Committee monitors liquidity to ascertain that a liquidity position within certain prescribed parameters is maintained. No changes are anticipated in the policies of United’s Asset Liability Committee.

Capital Resources

United’s capital position is financially sound. United seeks to maintain a proper relationship between capital and total assets to support growth and sustain earnings. United has historically generated attractive returns on shareholders’ equity. Based on regulatory requirements, United and its banking subsidiaries are categorized as “well capitalized” institutions. United’s risk-based capital ratios of ~~11.45%~~11.28% at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2007 and 11.15% at December 31, 2006, were both significantly higher than the minimum regulatory requirements. United’s Tier I capital and leverage ratios of ~~10.31%~~10.18% and ~~8.69%~~8.74%, respectively, at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2007, are also well above regulatory minimum requirements.

Total shareholders’ equity was ~~$638.75~~$639.17 million, an increase of ~~$4.66~~$5.07 million ~~thousand~~ or less than 1% from December 31, 2006. United’s equity to assets ratio was ~~9.72%~~9.64% at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2007 as compared to 9.44% at December 31, 2006. The primary capital ratio, capital and reserves to total assets and reserves, was ~~10.43%~~10.33% at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2007 as compared to 10.14% at December 31, 2006. United’s average equity to average asset ratio was ~~9.77%~~9.85% and ~~9.63%~~9.66% for the quarters ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. For the first six months of 2007 and 2006, the average equity to average assets ratio was 9.81% and 9.65%, respectively. All of these financial measurements reflect a financially sound position.

During the ~~first~~second quarter of 2007, United’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.28 per share. Cash dividends were $0.56 per common share for the first six months of 2007. Total cash dividends declared were approximately ~~$11.45~~$11.37 million for the second quarter of 2007 and $22.82 million for the first ~~quarter~~six months of 2007, an increase of ~~$121 thousand or 1.07%~~1.39% and 1.23% over ~~the first quarter~~comparable periods of 2006. The year 2007 is expected to be the thirty-fourth consecutive year of dividend increases to United shareholders.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The objective of United’s Asset Liability Management function is to maintain consistent growth in net interest income within United’s policy guidelines. This objective is accomplished through the management of balance sheet liquidity and interest rate risk exposures due to changes in economic conditions, interest rate levels and customer preferences.

Interest Rate Risk

Management considers interest rate risk to be United’s most significant market risk. Interest rate risk is the exposure to adverse changes in United’s net interest income as a result of changes in interest rates. United’s earnings are largely dependent on the effective management of interest rate risk.

Management of interest rate risk focuses on maintaining consistent growth in net interest income within Board-approved policy limits. United’s Asset Liability Management Committee (ALCO), which includes senior management representatives and reports to the Board of Directors, monitors and manages interest rate risk to maintain an acceptable level of change to net interest income as a result of changes in interest rates. Policy established for interest rate risk is stated in terms of the change in net interest income over a one-year and two-year horizon given an immediate and sustained increase or decrease in interest rates. The current limits approved by the Board of Directors are structured on a staged basis with each stage requiring specific actions.

United employs a variety of measurement techniques to identify and manage its exposure to changing interest rates. One such technique utilizes an earnings simulation model to analyze the sensitivity of net interest income to movements in interest rates. The model is based on actual cash flows and repricing characteristics for on and off-balance sheet instruments and incorporates market-based assumptions regarding the impact of changing interest rates on the prepayment rate of certain assets and liabilities. The model also includes executive management projections for activity levels in product lines offered by United. Assumptions based on the historical behavior of deposit rates and balances in relation to changes in interest rates are also incorporated into the model. Rate scenarios could involve parallel or nonparallel shifts in the yield curve, depending on historical, current, and expected conditions, as well as the need to capture any material effects of explicit or embedded options. These assumptions are inherently uncertain and, as a result, the model cannot precisely measure net interest income or precisely predict the impact of fluctuations in interest rates on net interest income. Actual results will differ from simulated results due to timing, magnitude and frequency of interest rate changes as well as changes in market conditions and management’s strategies.

Interest sensitive assets and liabilities are defined as those assets or liabilities that mature or are repriced within a designated time frame. The principal function of interest rate risk management is to maintain an appropriate relationship between those assets and liabilities that are sensitive to changing market interest rates. The difference between rate sensitive assets and rate sensitive liabilities for specified periods of time is known as the “GAP.” Earnings-simulation analysis captures not only the potential of these interest sensitive assets and liabilities to mature or reprice but also the probability that they will do so. Moreover, earnings-simulation analysis considers the relative sensitivities of these balance sheet items and projects their behavior over an extended period of time. United closely monitors the sensitivity of its assets and liabilities on an on-going basis and projects the effect of various interest rate changes on its net interest margin.

4345

At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2007, given an immediate, sustained 100 basis point upward shock to the yield curve used in the simulation model, net interest income for United is estimated to increase by ~~2.08%~~1.09% over one year as compared to an increase of 1.50% at December 31, 2006. A 200 basis point immediate, sustained upward shock in the yield curve would increase net interest income by a estimated ~~3.73%~~1.86% over one year as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2007, as compared to an increase of 3.04% as of December 31, 2006. A 100 ~~and~~basis point immediate, sustained downward shock in the yield curve would increase net interest income by a estimated 0.45% over one year as of June 30, 2007, as compared to a decrease of 0.76% as of December 31, 2006. A 200 basis point immediate, sustained downward shock in the yield curve would decrease net interest income by an estimated ~~1.40% and 5.54%, respectively,~~2.24% over one year as compared to a decrease of ~~0.76% and~~ 5.11%~~, respectively,~~ over one year as of December 31, 2006.

This analysis does not include the potential increased refinancing activities, which should lessen the negative impact on net income from falling rates. While it is unlikely market rates would immediately move 100 or 200 basis points upward or downward on a sustained basis, this is another tool used by management and the Board of Directors to gauge interest rate risk. All of these estimated changes in net interest income are and were within the policy guidelines established by the Board of Directors.

To further aid in interest rate management, United’s subsidiary banks are members of the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB). The use of FHLB advances provides United with a low risk means of matching maturities of earning assets and interest-bearing funds to achieve a desired interest rate spread over the life of the earning assets. In addition, United uses credit with large regional banks and trust preferred securities to provide funding.

As part of its interest rate risk management strategy, United may use derivative instruments to protect against adverse price or interest rate movements on the value of certain assets or liabilities and on future cash flows. These derivatives commonly consist of interest rate swaps, caps, floors, collars, futures, forward contracts, written and purchased options. Interest rate swaps obligate two parties to exchange one or more payments generally calculated with reference to a fixed or variable rate of interest applied to the notional amount. United accounts for its derivative activities in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” ~~During the year of 2006, United realized a net loss of $4.60 million in connection with the termination of interest rate swaps. This was done to improve future earnings.~~

During 1999, to better manage risk, United sold fixed-rate residential mortgage loans in a securitization transaction. In that securitization, United retained a subordinated interest that represented United’s right to future cash flows arising after third party investors in the securitization trust have received the return for

to United’s other assets for failure of debtors to pay when due; however, United’s retained interests are subordinate to investors’ interests. The book value and fair value of the subordinated interest are subject to credit, prepayment, and interest rate risks on the underlying fixed-rate residential mortgage loans in the securitization.

At the date of securitization, key economic assumptions used in measuring the fair value of the subordinated interest were as follows: a weighted average life of 5.3 years, expected cumulative default rate of 15%, and residual cash flows discount rates of 8% to 18%. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the fair values of the subordinated interest and the cost of the available for sale securities ~~were~~was zero.

At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2007, the principal balances of the residential mortgage loans held in the securitization trust were approximately ~~$9.7~~$8.8 million. Principal amounts owed to third party investors and to United in the securitization were approximately ~~$3.7~~$3.3 million and ~~$6.0~~$5.5 million, respectively, at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2007. The weighted average term to maturity of the underlying mortgages approximated ~~12.7~~12.5 years as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2007. During the ~~first quarter of~~three and six months ended June 30, 2007, United received cash of ~~$723~~$868 thousand and $1.59 million, respectively, from its subordinated interest in the securitization.

The amount of future cash flows from United’s subordinated interest is highly dependent upon future prepayments and defaults. Accordingly, the amount and timing of future cash flows to United is uncertain at this time.

The following table presents quantitative information about delinquencies, net credit losses, and components of the underlying securitized fixed-rate residential mortgage loans:


	March 31,			December 31,		June 30,			December 31,
	2007			2006		2007			2006
Total principal amount of loans	$	9,705		$	10,382	$	8,783		$	10,382
Principal amount of loans 60 days or more past due		182			114		123			114
Year-to-date average balances		10,043			13,000		9,627			13,000

Year-to-date net credit (recoveries) losses		(40	)		369		(87	)		369

A key feature of most mortgage loans is the ability of the borrower to repay principal earlier than scheduled. This is called a prepayment. Prepayments arise primarily due to sale of the underlying property, refinancing, or foreclosure. In general, declining interest rates tend to increase prepayments, and rising interest rates tend to slow prepayments. Like other fixed-income securities, when interest rates rise, the value of mortgage- related securities generally ~~declines.~~decline. The rate of prepayments on underlying mortgages will affect the price and volatility of mortgage-related securities and may shorten or extend the effective maturity of the security beyond what was anticipated at the time of purchase. If interest rates rise, United’s holdings of mortgage- related securities may experience reduced returns if the borrowers of the underlying mortgages pay off their mortgages later than anticipated. This is generally referred to as extension risk.

(VADMs) bonds having an average life of approximately ~~2.1~~2.2 years and a weighted average yield of ~~4.41%~~4.53%, under current projected prepayment assumptions. These securities are expected to have very little extension risk in a rising rate environment. Current models show that given an immediate, sustained upward shock of 300 basis points, ~~to the yield curve,~~ the average life of these securities would extend to 2.4 years. The projected price decline of the fixed rate CMO portfolio in rates up 300 basis points would be ~~6.1%~~6.08%, less than the price decline of a 33- year treasury note. By comparison, the price decline of a 30-year current coupon mortgage backed security (MBS) in rates higher by 300 basis points scenario would be approximately 16%.

United had approximately ~~$15~~$16 million in 30-year mortgage backed securities with a projected yield of ~~6.71%~~6.64% and a projected average life of ~~4.1~~4.8 years on ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2007. These bonds are projected to be good risk/reward securities in stable rates, rates down moderately and rates up moderately due to the high yield and premium book price. However, should rates increase 300 basis points, the average life will extend and these bonds will experience significant price depreciation, but not as significant as current coupon pools.

The remaining ~~11%~~8% of the mortgage related securities portfolio at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2007, included adjustable rate securities (ARMs), balloon securities, and 10-year and 15-year mortgage backed pass-through securities.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2007, an evaluation was performed under the supervision of and with the participation of United’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of United’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, United’s management, including the CEO and CFO, concluded that United’s disclosure controls and procedures as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2007 were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period required by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. There have been no changes in United’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2007, or in other factors that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect United’s internal control over financial reporting.
