The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements of United Bankshares, Inc. and Subsidiaries (“United” or “the Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles for interim financial information generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) 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 ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2013 and 2012 ~~and 2011~~ and for the three-month ~~and nine-month~~ periods then ended have not been audited. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, ~~2011~~2012 has been extracted from the audited financial statements included in United’s ~~2011~~2012 Annual Report to ~~Shareholders with amounts for loans, goodwill and other assets adjusted for the finalization of the purchase price allocation for the Centra merger.~~Shareholders. The accounting and reporting policies followed in the presentation of these financial statements are consistent with those applied in the preparation of the ~~2011~~2012 Annual Report of United on Form 10-K. To conform to the ~~2012~~2013 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 or unless otherwise noted.

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, “Reporting of Amounts Reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.” ASU 2013-02 is intended to improve the reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income of various components. ASU 2013-02 requires entities to disclose in a single location, either on the face of financial statement that reports net income or in the notes, the effects of reclassification out of accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI). For items reclassified out of AOCI and into net income in their entirety, such as realized gains or losses on available-for-sale securities reclassified into net income on sale, entities must disclose the effect on the reclassification on each affected net income item. For AOCI reclassification items that are not reclassified in their entirety into net income, such as actuarial gains or losses amortized into pension cost that may be capitalized into inventory or other assets, entities must provide a cross reference to other required U.S. GAAP disclosures. ASU 2013-02 was effective for United on January 1, 2013 and did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operation.

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-04, “Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for which the Total Amount of the Obligation is Fixed at the Reporting Date.” ASU 2013-04 addresses the recognition, measurement and disclosure of certain obligations including debt arrangements, other contractual obligations, and settled litigation and judicial ruling. In particular, ASU 2013-04 requires entities to record an obligation resulting from joint and several liability arrangements that are fixed at the reporting date at the greater of the amount that the entity has agreed to pay or the amount the entity expects to pay. The guidance applies retrospectively for obligations that exist at the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year of adoption. ASU 2013-04 is effective for United beginning January 1, 2014 and is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operation.

In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) - Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment.” ASU 2012-02 give entities the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, an entity determines it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired, then the entity must perform the quantitative impairment test. If, under the quantitative impairment test, the carrying amount of the intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an entity should recognize an impairment loss in the amount of that excess. Permitting an entity to assess qualitative factors when testing indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment results in guidance that is similar to the goodwill impairment testing guidance in ASU 2011-08. ASU 2012-02 became effective for United on January 1, 2013 and did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income”, which revises the manner in which entities present comprehensive income in their financial statements. The new guidance removes the presentation options in ASC 220 and requires entities to report components of comprehensive income in either a continuous statement of comprehensive income or two separate but consecutive statements. ASU 2011-05 does not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income. The amendments of ASU 2011-05 were effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. However, certain provisions related to the presentation of reclassification adjustments have been deferred by ASU 2011-12, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)–Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05”. ASU 2011-12 defers changes in ASU 2011-05 that relate to the presentation of reclassification adjustments to allow the FASB time to redeliberate whether to require presentation of such adjustments on the face of the financial statements to show the effects of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the components of net income and other comprehensive income. ASU 2011-12 allows entities to continue to report reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income consistent with the presentation requirements in effect before ASU 2011-05. All other requirements in ASU 2011-05 are not affected by ASU 2011-12. ASU 2011-12 became effective for United on January 1, ~~2012. Because ASU 2011-12 revised the presentation of comprehensive income in the financial statements only, the adoption~~2012 and did not have ana significant impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs”, to substantially converge the guidance in U.S. GAAP and IFRS on fair value measurements and disclosures. The amended guidance changes several aspects of the fair value measurement guidance ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement”, and includes several new fair value disclosure requirements. ASU 2011-04 was effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2011-04 did not have a material impact on United’s financial condition or results of operations.

AtAfter the close of business on ~~July 8, 2011,~~January 29, 2013, United ~~acquired 100%~~entered into an Agreement and Plan of ~~the outstanding common stock of Centra Financial Holdings,~~Reorganization (the Agreement) with Virginia Commerce Bancorp, Inc. ~~(Centra)~~(VCBI), a ~~West~~ Virginia corporation headquartered in ~~Morgantown, West~~Arlington, Virginia. In accordance with the Agreement, VCBI will merge with and into a wholly-owned subsidiary of United (the Merger). At the effective time of the Merger, VCBI will cease to exist and the wholly-owned subsidiary of United shall survive and continue to exist as a Virginia corporation.

The Agreement provides that at the effective time of the Merger, each outstanding share of common stock of VCBI will be converted into the right to receive 0.5442 shares of United common stock, par value $2.50 per share.

Pursuant to the Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, VCBI’s outstanding stock options and trust preferred warrants will be converted into options to purchase United’s common stock and warrants to purchase United common stock. The Agreement further provides that any outstanding warrant originally issued to the United States Department of Treasury to purchase common stock of VCBI will be converted into a warrant to purchase common stock of United.

After the effective time of the Merger, Virginia Commerce Bank, a wholly-owned subsidiary of VCBI, will merge with and into United Bank, a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of United (the Bank Merger). United Bank will survive the Bank Merger and continue to exist as a Virginia banking corporation.

As of March 31, 2013, VCBI has approximately $2.88 billion in assets and 28 banking offices, one residential

mortgage origination office and one wealth management office. VCBI locations are in the Northern Virginia suburbs of Washington, D.C. The acquisition of ~~Centra affords~~VCBI will afford United the opportunity to significantly enhance its existing footprint in ~~Maryland and West Virginia, as well as provide an entry into Pennsylvania. The results of operations of Centra are included in~~ the ~~consolidated results of operations from the date of acquisition.~~Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Statistical Area.

At consummation, Centra had assets of approximately $1.31 billion, loans of $1.04 billion, deposits of $1.13 billion and shareholders’ equity of $131 million. The transaction was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and accordingly, assets acquired, liabilities assumed and consideration exchanged were recorded at estimated fair value on the acquisition date.

The aggregate purchase price was approximately $170 million, including common stock valued at $161.4 million and $8.6 million of cash paid for vested stock options and fractional shares. The number of shares issued in the transaction was 6,548,473, which were valued based on the closing market price of $24.65 for United’s common shares on July 8, 2011. The preliminary purchase price was allocated to the identifiable tangible and intangible assets resulting in preliminary additions to goodwill and core deposit intangibles of approximately $60 million and $12 million, respectively. During the third quarter of 2012, United finalized the acquisition-price accounting for Centra and made revisions to the preliminary estimates for the valuation of loans, deferred taxes and goodwill. Revisions to the preliminary estimates resulted in a decrease of $5.93 million to loans and increases of $2.00 million to deferred taxes and $3.93 million to goodwill, respectively.

Because the consideration paid was greater than the net fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities, the Company recorded goodwill as part of the acquisition. None of the goodwill from the Centra acquisition is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. As a result of the merger, United recorded a downward fair value adjustment of $30.72 million on the loans acquired from Centra, a premium on interest-bearing deposits of $6.53 million and a discount of $564 thousand on junior subordinated debt securities. The discount and premium amounts are being amortized or accreted on an accelerated basis over each asset’s or liability’s estimated remaining life at the time of acquisition. At September 30, 2012, the premium on the interest-bearing deposits has an estimated remaining life of six months while the discount on the junior subordinated debt securities has an estimated remaining life of 3.7 years. United assumed approximately $621 thousand of liabilities to provide severance benefits to terminated employees of Centra. As of September 30, 2012, no balance remained on these liabilities.

In many cases, determining the estimated fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities required United to estimate cash flows expected to result from those assets and liabilities and to discount those cash flows at appropriate rates of interest. The most significant of those determinations related to the fair valuation of acquired loans. The fair value of the acquired loans was based on the present value of the expected cash flows. Periodic principal and interest cash flows were adjusted for expected losses and prepayments, then discounted to determine the present value and summed to arrive at the estimated fair value. For such loans, the excess of cash flows expected at acquisition over the estimated fair value is recognized as interest income over the remaining lives of the loans. The difference between contractually required payments at acquisition and the cash flows expected to be collected at acquisition reflects the impact of estimated credit losses and other factors, such as prepayments. In accordance with GAAP, there was no carry-over of Centra’s previously established allowance for credit losses. As a result, standard industry coverage ratios with regard to the allowance for credit losses are less meaningful after the acquisition of Centra.

The acquired loans were divided into loans with evidence of credit quality deterioration, which are accounted for under ASC topic 310-30 (acquired impaired) and loans that do not meet this criteria, which are accounted for under ASC topic 310-20 (acquired performing). Acquired impaired loans have experienced a deterioration of credit quality from origination to acquisition for which it is probable that United will be unable to collect all contractually required payments receivable, including both principal and interest. Subsequent decreases in the expected cash flows require United to evaluate the need for additions to the Company’s allowance for credit losses. Subsequent improvements in expected cash flows generally result in the recognition of additional interest income over the then remaining lives of the loans.

~~In conjunction with the Centra merger, the acquired loan portfolio was accounted for at fair value as follows:~~

Included in the above table is information related to acquired impaired loans. Specifically, contractually required principal and interest, cash flows expected to be collected and estimated fair value of acquired impaired loans were $72,647, $48,112, and $46,446, respectively.

~~The consideration paid for Centra’s common equity and the amounts of acquired identifiable assets and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date were as follows:~~

Securities to be held for indefinite periods of time and all marketable equity securities are classified as available for sale and carried at estimated fair value. The amortized cost and estimated fair values of securities available for sale are summarized ~~as follows.~~below:

At ~~September 30, 2012,~~March 31, 2013, gross unrealized losses on available for sale securities were ~~$65,389~~$56,392 on 6546 securities of a total portfolio of ~~335~~310 available for sale securities. Securities in an unrealized loss position at ~~September 30, 2012~~March 31, 2013 consisted primarily of pooled trust preferred collateralized debt obligations (TRUP CDOs), and single issue trust preferred ~~securities and non-agency residential mortgage-backed~~ securities. The TRUP CDOs and the single issue trust preferred securities relate mainly to ~~debt~~ securities ~~issued by~~of financial institutions. In determining whether or not a security is ~~other-than-temporary~~other-than-temporarily impaired, management considered the severity and the duration of the loss in conjunction with United’s positive intent and the more likely than not ability to hold these securities to recovery of their cost basis or maturity.

The majority of the non-agency residential mortgage-backed security portfolio is rated either AAA or AA. The unrealized loss on the non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities portfolio relates primarily to below investment grade securities of various private label issuers. The Company has no exposure to real estate investment trusts (REITS) in its investment portfolio. Approximately ~~59%~~56% of the portfolio includes collateral that was originated during the year of 2005 or before. The remaining ~~41%~~44% includes collateral that was originated in the years of 2006 and 2007. ~~Ninety-nine percent~~The entire portfolio of the non-agency residential mortgage securities are either the senior or super-senior tranches of their respective structure. In determining whether or not the non-agency mortgage-backed securities are other-than-temporarily impaired, management performs an in-depth analysis on each non-agency residential mortgage-backed security on a quarterly basis. The analysis includes a review of the following factors: weighted average loan to value, weighted average maturity, average FICO scores, historical collateral performance, geographic concentration, credit subordination, cross-collateralization, coverage ratios, origination year, full documentation percentage, event risk (repricing), and collateral type. Management completes a monthly stress test to determine the level of loss protection remaining in each individual security and compares the protection remaining to the future expected performance of the underlying collateral. Additionally, management utilizes a third-party cash flow model to perform a cash flow test for each bond below investment grade. The model produces a bond specific set of cash flows based upon assumptions input by management. The input assumptions that are incorporated include the projected constant default rate (CDR) of the underlying mortgages, the loss severity upon default, and the prepayment rate on the underlying mortgage collateral. CDR and loss severities ~~estimated~~are forecasted by management after full evaluation of the underlying collateral including recent performance statistics. At ~~September 30, 2012,~~March 31, 2013, United determined that ~~one~~none of the non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities ~~was other-than temporarily~~were other-than-temporarily impaired. The credit-related other-than-temporary impairment recognized in earnings for the third quarter of 2012 on this non-agency residential mortgage-backed security, which is not expected to be sold, was $468 thousand.

The majority of United’s single-issue trust preferred portfolio consists of obligations from large cap banks (i.e. banks with market capitalization in excess of $10 billion). Management reviews each issuer’s current and projected earnings trends, asset quality, capitalization levels, TARP participation status, and other key factors. Upon completing the review for the ~~third~~first quarter of ~~2012,~~2013, it was determined that none of the single issue securities were other-than-temporarily impaired. With the exception of two securities, all single-issue trust preferred securities are currently receiving interest payments. The two securities that are deferring interest payments are from the same issuer with a total amortized cost of $633 thousand. The issuer has the contractual ability to defer interest payments for up to 5 years. The available for sale single issue trust preferred securities’ ratings ranged from a low of CC to a high of BBB. The amortized cost of available for sale single issue trust preferred securities as of ~~September 30, 2012~~March 31, 2013 consisted of ~~$2.97~~$2.98 million in split-rated bonds and ~~$12.30~~$12.32 million in below investment grade bonds. Of the $12.32 million in below investment grade bonds, $10.20 million was in an unrealized loss position for twelve months or longer as of March 31, 2013.

In analyzing the duration and severity of the losses on TRUP CDOs, management considered the following: (1) the market for these securities was not active as evidenced by the lack of trades and the severe widening of the bid/ask

spread; (2) the markets for TRUP CDOs are dysfunctional with no significant transactions to report; (3) low market prices for

certain bonds, in the overall debt markets, were evidence of credit stress in the general markets and not necessarily an indication of credit problems with a particular issuer; and (4) the general widening in overall risk premiums over the past four years in the broader markets was responsible for a significant amount of the price decline in the TRUP CDO portfolio.

At ~~September 30, 2012,~~March 31, 2013, United determined that certain TRUP CDOs were other-than-temporarily impaired. Management completed an in-depth analysis of the collateral pool, cash flow waterfall structure, and expected cash flows of the TRUP CDO portfolio. To determine a net realizable value and assess whether other-than-temporary impairment existed, management performed detailed cash flow analysis to determine whether, in management’s judgment, it was more likely that United would not recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security. Management’s cash flow analysis was performed for each security and considered the current deferrals and defaults within the underlying collateral, the likelihood that current deferrals would cure or ultimately default, potential future deferrals and defaults, potential prepayments, cash reserves, excess interest spread, credit analysis of the underlying collateral and the priority of payments in the cash flow structure. The underlying collateral analysis for each issuer took into consideration multiple factors including TARP participation, capital adequacy, earnings trends and asset quality. After completing its analysis of estimated cash flows, management determined that an adverse change in cash flows had occurred for certain TRUP CDOs as the expected discounted cash flows from these particular securities were less than the discounted cash flows originally expected at purchase or from the previous date of other-than-temporary impairment (cash flows are discounted at the contractual coupon rate for purposes of assessing OTTI). Therefore, based upon management’s analysis and judgment, certain TRUP CDOs were determined to be other-than-temporarily impaired.

The credit-related other-than-temporary impairment recognized in earnings for the ~~third~~first quarter of ~~2012~~2013 related to these securities was ~~$1.79 million.~~$834 thousand, compared to $1.22 million for the first quarter of 2012. At ~~September 30, 2012,~~March 31, 2013, the balance of the noncredit-related other-than-temporary impairment recognized on United’s TRUP CDO portfolio was ~~$47.23~~$45.27 million as compared to ~~$47.17~~$46.52 million at December 31, ~~2011.~~2012.

The amortized cost of available for sale TRUP CDOs in an unrealized loss position for twelve months or longer as of ~~September 30, 2012~~March 31, 2013 consisted of ~~$9.21~~$8.58 million in investment grade bonds, $5.00 million in split-rated bonds and ~~$81.89~~$79.74 million in below investment grade bonds.

The following is a summary of the available for sale TRUP CDOs in an unrealized loss position twelve months or greater as of ~~September 30, 2012:~~March 31, 2013:

Management also considered the ratings of the Company’s bonds in its portfolio and the extent of downgrades in United’s impairment analysis. However, due to historical discrepancies in ratings from the various rating agencies, management considered it imperative to independently perform its own credit analysis based on cash flows as

described. The ratings of the investment grade pooled trust preferred securities in the table above range from a low of BBB to a high of AA+. The ratings of the split-rated pooled trust preferred securities range from a low of ~~CCC+~~B+ to a high of A2, while the below investment grade pooled trust preferred securities range from a low of CCC- to a high of Ba1. ~~The available for sale single issue trust preferred securities’ ratings range from a low of CC to a high of BBB.~~

The Company has recognized cumulative credit-related other-than-temporary impairment of ~~$34.70~~$36.75 million on sixteen pooled trust preferred securities since the third quarter of 2009. Of the remaining seven securities that have not been deemed to be other-than-temporally impaired, the collateralization ratios range from a low of ~~77.7%~~88.4% to a high of ~~329.0%~~356.5%, with a median of ~~114.9%~~126.8%, and a weighted average of ~~175.2%~~193.5%. The collateralization ratio is defined as the current performing collateral in a security, divided by the current balance of the specific tranche the Company owns, plus any debt which is senior or pari passu with the Company’s security’s priority level. Performing collateral excludes the balance of any issuer that has either defaulted or has deferred its interest payment. It is ~~possible~~not uncommon for the collateralization of a security that is not other-than-temporarily impaired to be less than 100% due to the excess spread built into the securitization structure.

The following schedule reflects data and certain assumptions that are utilized in the other-than-temporary impairment analysis of the TRUP CDO’s at ~~September 30, 2012.~~March 31, 2013:

Except for the securities that have already been deemed to be ~~other-than-temporarily~~other than temporarily impaired, management does not believe any other individual security with an unrealized loss as of ~~September 30, 2012~~March 31, 2013 is other-than-temporarily impaired. For debt securities, United believes the decline in value resulted from changes in market interest rates, credit spreads and liquidity, not a change in the expected contractual cash flows. Based on a review of each of the securities in the investment portfolio, management concluded that it expected to recover the amortized cost basis of the investment in such securities. As of ~~September 30, 2012,~~March 31, 2013, United does not intend to sell any impaired debt security nor is it anticipated that it would be required to sell any impaired debt security before the recovery of its amortized cost basis. For equity securities, United has evaluated the near-term prospects of the investment in relation to the severity and duration of any impairment and based on that evaluation, management does not believe any individual equity security is other-than-temporarily impaired. As of ~~September 30, 2012,~~March 31, 2013, United has the ability and intent to hold these equity securities until a recovery of their fair value to at least the cost basis of the investment.

During the ~~third~~first quarter of ~~2012,~~2013, United also evaluated all of its cost method investments to determine if certain events or changes in circumstances during the ~~third~~first quarter of ~~2012~~2013 had a significant adverse effect on the fair value of any of its cost method securities. United determined that there were no events or changes in circumstances during the ~~third~~first quarter which would have an adverse effect on the fair value of any of its cost method securities. Therefore, no impairment was recorded.

Below is a progression of the credit losses on securities which United has recorded other-than-temporary charges on through earnings and other comprehensive income.

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 ~~$187,961~~$121,370 and ~~$189,763~~$150,638 at ~~September 30, 2012~~March 31, 2013 and December 31, ~~2011,~~2012, respectively.

Management monitors the credit quality of its loans on an ongoing basis. Measurement of delinquency and past due status are based on the contractual terms of each loan.

For all loan classes, past due loans are reviewed on a monthly basis to identify loans for nonaccrual status. Generally, when collection in full of the principal and interest is jeopardized, the loan is placed on nonaccrual status. The accrual of interest income on commercial and most consumer loans generally is discontinued when a loan becomes 90 to 120

days past due as to principal or interest. However, regardless of delinquency status, if a loan is fully secured and in the process of collection and resolution of collection is expected in the near term (generally less than 90 days), then the loan

will not be placed on nonaccrual status. When interest accruals are discontinued, unpaid interest recognized in income in the current year is reversed, and unpaid interest accrued in prior years is charged to the allowance for loan losses. United’s method of income recognition for loans that are classified as nonaccrual is to recognize interest income on a cash basis or apply the cash receipt to principal when the ultimate collectibility of principal is in doubt. Management may elect to continue the accrual of interest when the estimated net realizable value of collateral exceeds the principal balance and accrued interest, and the loan is in the process of collection. Nonaccrual loans will not normally be returned to accrual status unless all past due principal and interest has been paid and the borrower has evidenced their ability to meet the contractual provisions of the note.

A loan is categorized as a troubled debt restructuring (TDR) if a significant concession is granted ~~and there is~~due to deterioration in the financial condition of the borrower. TDRs can take the form of a reduction of the stated interest rate, splitting a loan into separate loans with market terms on one loan and concessionary terms on the other loan, receipts of assets from a debtor in partial or full satisfaction of a loan, the extension of the maturity date or dates at a stated interest rate lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk, the reduction of the face amount or maturity amount of the debt as stated in the instrument or other agreement, the reduction of accrued interest or any other concessionary type of renegotiated debt. As of ~~September 30, 2012,~~March 31, 2013, United had TDRs of ~~$4,091~~$5,309 as compared to ~~$3,592~~$3,175 as of December 31, ~~2011.~~2012. Of the ~~$4,091~~$5,309 aggregate balance of TDRs at ~~September 30, 2012, $1,277~~March 31, 2013, $375 was on nonaccrual status and included in the “Loans on Nonaccrual Status” on the following page. Of the ~~$3,592~~$3,175 aggregate balance of TDRs at December 31, ~~2011, $1,528~~2012, $375 was on nonaccrual status and included in the “Loans on Nonaccrual Status” on the following page. As of ~~September 30, 2012,~~March 31, 2013, there were no commitments to lend additional funds to debtors owing receivables whose terms have been modified in TDRs. At ~~September 30, 2012,~~March 31, 2013, United had restructured loans in the amount of ~~$2,160~~$4,287 that were modified by a reduction in the interest rate, ~~$1,277~~$375 that were modified by a combination of a reduction in the interest rate and the principal and ~~$654~~$647 that was modified by a change in terms.

A loan acquired and accounted for under ASC topic 310-30 “Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality” is reported as an accruing loan and a performing asset.

The following table sets forth United’s troubled debt restructurings that have been restructured during the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2013 and 2012, segregated by class of loans:

~~No loans were restructured during the third quarter of 2012.~~ During the first ~~nine months~~quarter of ~~2012, $625~~2013, $2,150 of restructured loans ~~was~~were modified by a reduction in the interest rate. During the first quarter of 2012, $775 of restructured loans were modified by a combination of a reduction in the interest rate and change in ~~terms and the remaining $654 of restructured loans was modified by a change in~~ terms. In some instances, the post-modification balance on athe restructured ~~loan~~loans is larger than the ~~pre-modification~~pre-

modification balance due to the advancement of monies for items such as delinquent taxes on real estate property. The loans were evaluated individually for allocation within United’s allowance for loan losses. The modifications had an immaterial impact on the financial condition and results of operations for United.

~~The following table presents troubled debt restructurings, by class of loan, that had charge-offs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012.

United assigns credit quality indicators of either pass, special mention, substandard or doubtful to its loans. For United’s loans with a corporate credit exposure, United internally assigns a grade based on the creditworthiness of the borrower. For loans with a consumer credit exposure, United internally assigns a grade based upon an individual loan’s delinquency status. United updates these grades for corporate and consumer credits on a quarterly basis.

For loans with a corporate credit exposure, special mention loans have potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loans or in the Company’s credit position at some future date. Borrowers may be experiencing adverse operating trends (declining revenues or margins) or an ill proportioned balance sheet (e.g., increasing inventory without an increase in sales, high leverage, tight liquidity). Adverse economic or market conditions, such as interest rate increases or the entry of a new competitor, may also support a special mention rating. Nonfinancial reasons for rating a credit exposure special mention include management problems, pending litigation, an ineffective loan agreement or other material structural weakness, and any other significant deviation from prudent lending practices. For consumer credit exposures, loans that are past due 30-89 days are considered special mention.

A substandard loan with a corporate credit exposure is inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness, or weaknesses, that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt by the borrower. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. They require more intensive

supervision by management. Substandard loans are generally characterized by current or expected unprofitable operations, inadequate debt service coverage, inadequate liquidity, or marginal capitalization. Repayment may depend on collateral or other credit risk mitigants. For some substandard loans, the likelihood of full collection of interest and principal may be in doubt and thus, placed on ~~nonaccrual.~~nonaccrual status. For ~~loans with a~~ consumer credit exposure, loans that are 90 days or more past due or that have been placed on nonaccrual are considered substandard.

A loan with corporate credit exposure is classified as doubtful if it has all the weaknesses inherent in ~~a loan~~one classified as substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. A doubtful loan has a high probability of total or substantial loss, but because of specific pending events that may strengthen the loan, its classification as loss is deferred. Doubtful borrowers are usually in default, lack adequate liquidity or capital, and lack the resources necessary to remain an operating entity. Pending events can include mergers, acquisitions, liquidations, capital injections, the perfection of liens on additional collateral, the valuation of collateral, and refinancing. Generally, there are not any loans with a consumer credit exposure that are classified as doubtful. Usually, they are charged-off prior to such a classification. Loans classified as doubtful are also considered impaired.

Loans are designated as impaired when, in the opinion of management, based on current information and events, the

collection of principal and interest in accordance with the loan contract is doubtful. Typically, United does not consider loans for impairment unless a sustained period of delinquency (i.e. 90 days or more) is noted or there are subsequent events that impact repayment probability (i.e. negative financial trends, bankruptcy filings, eminent foreclosure proceedings, etc.). Impairment is evaluated in total for smaller-balance loans of a similar nature and on an individual loan basis for other loans. Consistent with United’s existing method of income recognition for loans, interest on impaired loans, except those classified as nonaccrual, is recognized as income using the accrual method. Impaired loans, or portions thereof, are charged off when deemed uncollectible.

The following table sets forth United’s impaired loans information, by class of loans:

The allowance for loan losses is management’s estimate of the probable credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Management’s evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses and the appropriate provision for credit losses is based upon 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. Allocations are made for specific commercial loans based upon management’s estimate of the borrowers’ ability to repay and other factors impacting collectibility. Other commercial loans not specifically reviewed on an individual basis are evaluated based on historical loss percentages applied to loan pools that have been segregated by the type of risk. Allocations for loans other than commercial loans are made based upon historical loss experience adjusted for current environmental conditions. The allowance for ~~loan~~credit losses includes estimated probable inherent but undetected losses within the portfolio due to uncertainties in economic conditions, delays in obtaining information, including unfavorable information about a borrower’s financial condition, 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 portion of the allowance accounts for the inherent imprecision in the allowance for ~~loan~~credit losses analysis.

For purposes of determining the general allowance, the loan portfolio is segregated by loan product type to recognize differing risk profiles among loan categories. It is further segregated by credit grade for risk-rated loan pools and delinquency for homogeneous loan pools. The outstanding principal balance within each pool is multiplied by historical loss data and certain qualitative factors to derive the general loss allocation per pool. Specific loss allocations are calculated for loans in excess of $500 thousand in accordance with ASC topic 310. Risk characteristics of ~~owner-occupied~~owner-

occupied commercial real estate loans and other commercial loans are similar in that they are normally dependent upon the borrower’s internal cash flow from operations to service debt. Nonowner-occupied commercial real estate loans differ in that cash flow to service debt is normally dependent on external income from third parties for use of the real estate such as rents, leases and room rates. Residential real estate loans are dependent upon individual borrowers who are affected by changes in general economic conditions, demand for housing and resulting residential real estate valuation. Construction and land development loans are impacted mainly by demand whether for new residential housing or for retail, industrial, office and other types of commercial construction within a given area. Consumer loan pool risk characteristics are influenced by general, regional and local economic conditions. During the first ~~nine months~~quarter of ~~2012,~~2013, there were no material changes to the accounting policy or methodology related to the allowance for loan losses.

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. For commercial loans, when a loan or a portion of a loan is identified to contain a loss, a charge-off recommendation is directed to management to charge-off all or a portion of that loan. Generally, any unsecured commercial loan more than six months delinquent in payment of interest must be charged-off in full. If secured, the charge-off is generally made to reduce the loan balance to a level equal to the liquidation value of the collateral when payment of principal and interest is six months delinquent. Any commercial loan, secured or unsecured, on which a principal or interest payment has not been made within 90 days, is reviewed monthly for appropriate action.

For consumer loans, closed-end retail loans that are past due 120 cumulative days delinquent from the contractual due date and open-end loans 180 cumulative days delinquent from the contractual due date are charged-off. Any consumer loan on which a principal or interest payment has not been made within 90 days is reviewed monthly for appropriate action. For a one-to-four family open-end or closed-end residential real estate loan, home equity loan, or high-loan-to-value loan that has reached 180 or more days past due, management evaluates the collateral position and charge-offs any amount that exceeds the value of the collateral. Retail credits for which the borrower is in bankruptcy, all amounts deemed unrecoverable are charged-off within 60 days or before of the receipt of the notification. On retail credits effected by fraud, a loan is charged-off within 90 days of the discovery of the fraud. In the event of the borrower’s death and if repayment within the required timeframe is uncertain, the loan is generally charged-off as soon as the amount of the loss is determined.

United maintains an allowance for loan losses and a reserve for lending-related commitments such as unfunded loan commitments and letters of credit. The reserve for lending-related commitments of ~~$1,788~~$1,885 and ~~$1,853~~$1,656 at ~~September 30, 2012~~March 31, 2013 and December 31, ~~2011,~~2012, respectively, is separately classified on the balance sheet and is included in other liabilities. The combined allowance for loan losses and reserve for lending-related commitments are referred to as the allowance for credit losses.

A progression of the allowance for loan losses, by loan portfolio segment, for the ~~periods indicated~~three months ended March 31, 2013 is summarized as follows:

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 $234,000. 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 ~~September 30, 2012,~~

March 31, 2013, federal funds purchased were ~~$15,441~~$13,490 while securities sold under agreements to repurchase were ~~$273,041.~~$215,394. The securities sold under agreements to repurchase were accounted for as collateralized ~~borrowings.~~financial transactions. They were recorded at the amounts at which the securities were acquired or sold plus accrued interest.

United has a $10,000 line of credit with an unrelated financial institution to provide for general liquidity needs. The line is an unsecured, revolving line of credit. The line will be renewable on a 360 day basis and will carry an indexed, floating-rate of interest. The line requires compliance with various financial and nonfinancial covenants. At ~~September 30, 2012,~~March 31, 2013, United had no outstanding balance under this line of credit.

Effective December 31, 2011, United Bank (VA) no longer participates in the Treasury Investment Program, which is essentially the U.S. Treasury’s savings account for companies depositing employment and other tax payments. All amounts due to the U.S. Treasury were paid by year-end 2011.

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 ~~September 30, 2012,~~March 31, 2013, United had an unused borrowing amount of approximately ~~$1,843,401~~$1,805,373 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.

At ~~September 30, 2012, United had $86,513~~March 31, 2013, $126,307 of FHLB advances with a weighted-average interest rate of ~~4.40%~~3.08% are scheduled to mature within the next seven years.

At ~~September 30, 2012,~~March 31, 2013, United ~~has~~had a total of twelve 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 ~~September 30, 2012~~March 31, 2013, and December 31, ~~2011,~~2012, the outstanding ~~balances~~balance of the Debentures ~~were $198,487~~was $198,543 and ~~$203,557,~~$198,515, respectively,

and ~~were~~was included in the category of long-term debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheets entitled “Other long-term ~~borrowings”.~~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. United has not deferred any payment as of ~~September 30, 2012.~~March 31, 2013.

The Trust Preferred Securities currently qualify as Tier I1 capital toof United for regulatory purposes.

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 ~~commercial letters of credit.~~interest rate swap agreements. 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 ~~$2,041,620~~$2,178,078 and ~~$1,667,859~~$2,173,377 of loan commitments outstanding as of ~~September 30, 2012~~March 31, 2013 and December 31, ~~2011,~~2012, respectively, ~~the majority~~substantially all 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. As of March 31, 2013, United ~~has issued~~had no outstanding commercial letters of credit ofand $250 ~~and $290~~ as of ~~September 30, 2012 and~~ December 31, ~~2011, respectively.~~2012. 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 ~~$99,004~~$113,053 and ~~$130,034~~$96,856 as of ~~September 30, 2012~~March 31, 2013 and December 31, ~~2011,~~2012, respectively. In accordance with the Contingencies Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, United has determined that substantially all of its letters of credit are renewed on an annual ~~basis. The~~basis and the fees associated with these letters of credit are immaterial.

consumer checking account debit card transactions, which allegedly resulted in the assessment of improper overdraft fees. These cases are virtually identical to cases filed against more than 70 other United States banks over the last three years.

The first case has been consolidated, with similar cases against a myriad of other banks, into a federal multidistrict litigation pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida that is known as In re Checking Account Overdraft Litigation, Case No. 1:09-md-02036-JLK. The second case is pending in the Circuit Court of Jackson County, West Virginia. Without admitting liability or any wrongdoing and to avoid further litigation expense, United Bankshares, Inc. and United Bank, Inc. of West Virginia agreed to settle these cases in exchange for a payment of $3.3 million and an agreement to pay certain settlement-related expenses. The settlement is subject to court approval. As of ~~September 30, 2012,~~March 31, 2013, the $3.3 million settlement amount was fully accrued by the Company.

In addition, United and its subsidiaries are currently involved in various legal proceedings in the normal course of business. Management is vigorously pursuing all its legal and factual defenses and, after consultation with legal counsel, believes that all such litigation will be resolved with no material effect on United’s financial position.

United uses derivative instruments to help manage 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 the Derivatives and Hedging topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The Derivatives and Hedging topic require all derivative instruments to be carried at fair value on the balance sheet. United has designated certain 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 hedge relationship.

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. As of ~~September 30, 2012,~~March 31, 2013, United has only fair value 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. The portion of a hedge that is ineffective is recognized immediately in earnings. No hedge ineffectiveness existed on cash flow hedges for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.

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 the Derivatives and Hedging topic. 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.

The derivative portfolio also includes derivative financial instruments not included in hedge relationships. These derivatives consist of interest rate swaps used for interest rate management purposes and derivatives executed with commercial banking customers to facilitate their interest rate management strategies. 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 fair value. Gains and losses on other derivative financial instruments are included in noninterest income and noninterest expense, respectively.

The following table sets forth certain information regarding the interest rate derivatives portfolio used for interest-rate risk management purposes and designated as accounting hedges under the Derivatives and Hedging topic at ~~September 30, 2012.~~March 31, 2013.

Derivative contracts involve the risk of dealing with both bank customers and institutional derivative counterparties and their ability to meet contractual terms. Credit risk arises from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. United’s exposure is limited to the replacement value of the contracts rather than the notional amount of the contract. The Company’s agreements generally contain provisions that limit the unsecured exposure up to an agreed upon threshold. Additionally, the Company attempts to minimize credit risk through certain approval processes established by management.

United determines the fair values of its financial instruments based on the fair value hierarchy established by ASC topic 820, which also clarifies that fair value of certain assets and liabilities is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants.

The Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures topic specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained

from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect United’s market assumptions.

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy, based on these two types of inputs, are as follows:

When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities, United looks to active and observable markets to price identical assets or liabilities whenever possible and classifies such items in Level 1. When identical assets and liabilities are not traded in active markets, United looks to market observable data for similar assets and liabilities and classifies such items as Level 2. Nevertheless, certain assets and liabilities are not actively traded in observable markets and United must use alternative valuation techniques using unobservable inputs to determine a fair value and classifies such items as Level 3. For assets and liabilities that are not actively traded, the fair value measurement is based primarily upon estimates that require significant judgment. Therefore, the results may not be realized in an actual sale or immediate settlement of the asset or liability. Additionally, there are inherent weaknesses in any calculation technique, and changes in the underlying assumptions used, including discount rates and estimates of future cash flows, could significantly affect the results of current or future values. The level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant in the fair value measurement.

In accordance with ASC topic 820, the following describes the valuation techniques used by United to measure certain financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in the financial statements:

Securities available for sale: Securities available for sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted market prices, when available (Level 1). If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are measured utilizing independent valuation techniques of identical or similar securities for which significant assumptions are derived primarily from or corroborated by observable market data. Using a market approach valuation methodology, third party vendors compile prices from various sources and may determine the fair value of identical or similar securities by using pricing models that considers observable market data (Level 2). Management internally reviews the fair values provided by third party vendors on a monthly basis. Management’s review consists of comparing fair values assigned by third party vendors to trades and offerings observed by management. The review requires some degree of judgment as to the number or percentage of securities to review on the part of management which could fluctuate based on results of past reviews and in comparison to current expectations. Exceptions that are deemed to be material are reviewed by management. Additionally, to assess the reliability of the information received from third party vendors, management obtains documentation from third party vendors related to the sources, methodologies, and inputs utilized in valuing securities classified as Level 2. Management analyzes this information to ensure the underlying assumptions appear reasonable. Management also obtains an independent service auditor’s report from third party vendors to provide reasonable assurance that appropriate controls are in place over the valuation process. Upon completing its review of the pricing from third party vendors at ~~September 30, 2012,~~March 31, 2013, management determined that the prices provided by its third party pricing source were reasonable and in line with management’s expectations for the market values of these securities. Therefore, prices obtained from third party vendors that did not reflect forced liquidation or distressed sales were not adjusted by management at ~~September 30, 2012.~~March 31, 2013. Management utilizes a number of factors to determine if a market is inactive, all

of which may require a significant level of judgment. Factors that management considers include: a significant widening of the bid-ask spread, a considerable decline in the

volume and level of trading activity in the instrument, a significant variance in prices among market participants, and a significant reduction in the level of observable inputs. Any securities available for sale not valued based upon quoted market prices or third party pricing models that consider observable market data are considered Level 3. Currently, United considers its valuation of available-for-sale TRUP CDOs as Level 3. The Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures topic assumes that fair values of financial assets are determined in an orderly transaction and not a forced liquidation or distressed sale at the measurement date. Based on financial market conditions, United feels that the fair values obtained from its third party vendor reflect forced liquidation or distressed sales for these TRUP CDOs due to decreased volume and trading activity. Additionally, management held discussions with institutional traders to identify trends in the number and type of transactions related to the TRUP CDOs sector. Based upon management’s review of the market conditions for TRUP CDOs, it was determined that an income approach valuation technique (present value technique) that maximizes the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs is more representative of fair value than the valuation technique used by United’s third party vendor. The present value technique discounts expected future cash flows of a security to arrive at a present value. Management considers the following items when calculating the appropriate discount rate: the implied rate of return when the market was last active, changes in the implied rate of return as markets moved from very active to inactive, recent changes in credit ratings, and recent activity showing that the market has built in increased liquidity and credit premiums. Management’s internal credit review of each security was also factored in to determine the appropriate discount rate. The credit review considered each security’s collateral, subordination, excess spread, priority of claims, principal and interest. Discount margins used in the valuation at ~~September 30, 2012~~March 31, 2013 ranged from LIBOR plus ~~6.00%~~5.00% to LIBOR plus ~~30.00%~~25.00%. Management completed a sensitivity analysis on the fair value of its TRUP CDOs. Given a comprehensive 200 basis point increase in the discount rates, the total fair value of these securities would decline by approximately ~~14%~~15%.

Derivatives: United utilizes interest rate swaps to hedge exposure to interest rate risk and variability of cash flows associated to changes in the underlying interest rate of the hedged item. These hedging interest rate swaps are classified as either a fair value hedge or a cash flow hedge. United’s derivative portfolio also includes derivative financial instruments not included in hedge relationships. These derivatives consist of interest rate swaps used for interest rate management purposes and derivatives executed with commercial banking customers to facilitate their interest rate management strategies. United utilizes third-party vendors for derivative valuation purposes. These vendors determine the appropriate fair value based on a net present value calculation of the cash flows related to the interest rate swaps using primarily observable market inputs such as interest rate yield curves (Level 2). Valuation adjustments to derivative fair values for liquidity and credit risk are also taken into consideration, as well as the likelihood of default by United and derivative counterparties, the net counterparty exposure and the remaining maturities of the positions. Values obtained from third party vendors are typically not adjusted by management. Management internally reviews the derivative values provided by third party vendors on a quarterly basis. All derivative values are tested for reasonableness by management utilizing a net present value calculation.

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 either in interest income or interest expense depending on the nature of the hedged financial instrument. 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. The portion of a hedge that is ineffective is recognized immediately in earnings.

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. Unrealized gains and losses due to changes in the fair value of other derivative financial instruments not in hedge relationship are included in noninterest income and noninterest expense, respectively.

The following tables present the balances of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of ~~September 30, 2012~~March 31, 2013 and December 31, ~~2011,~~2012, segregated by the level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy.

Certain financial assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with GAAP. Adjustments to the fair value of these assets usually result from the application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.

The following describes the valuation techniques used by United to measure certain financial assets recorded at fair value on a ~~nonrecurring~~non-recurring basis in the financial statements.

Loans held for sale: Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. These loans currently consist of one-to-four family residential loans originated for sale in the secondary market. Fair value is based on the price secondary markets are currently offering for similar loans using observable market data which is not materially different than cost due to the short duration between origination and sale (Level 2). As such, United records any fair value adjustments on a nonrecurring basis. No nonrecurring fair value adjustments were recorded on loans held for sale during the quarter ended ~~September 30, 2012.~~March 31, 2013. Gains and losses on sale of loans are recorded within income from mortgage banking on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Impaired Loans: Loans are designated as impaired when, in the judgment of management based on current information and events, it is probable that all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement will not be collected. Impairment is measured based upon the present value of expected future cash flows from the loan discounted at the loan’s effective rate and the loan’s observable market price or the fair value of collateral, if the loan is collateral dependent. Fair value is measured using a market approach based on the value of the collateral securing the loans. Collateral may be in the form of real estate or business assets including equipment, inventory, and accounts receivable. The vast majority of the collateral is real estate. The value of real estate collateral is determined utilizing an appraisal conducted by an independent, licensed appraiser outside of the Company using comparable property sales (Level 2). However, if the collateral is a house or building in the process of construction or if an appraisal of the real estate property is over two years old, then the fair value is considered Level 3. The value of business equipment is based upon an outside appraisal if deemed significant, or the net book value on the applicable business’ financial statements if not considered significant using observable market data. Likewise, values for inventory and accounts receivables collateral are based on financial statement balances or aging reports (Level 3). Impaired loans allocated to the Allowance for Loan Losses are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Any fair value adjustments are recorded in the period incurred as provision for credit losses expense on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

OREO: OREO consists of real estate acquired in foreclosure or other settlement of loans. Such assets are carried on the balance sheet at the lower of the investment in the assets or the fair value of the assets less estimated selling costs. Fair value is determined by one of two market approach methods depending on whether the property has been vacated and an appraisal can be conducted. If the property has yet to be vacated and thus an appraisal cannot be performed, a Brokers Price Opinion (i.e. BPO), is obtained. A BPO represents a best estimate valuation performed by a realtor based on knowledge of current property values and a visual examination of the exterior condition of the property. Once the property is subsequently vacated, a formal appraisal is obtained and the recorded asset value appropriately adjusted. On the other hand, if the OREO property has been vacated and an appraisal can be conducted, the fair value of the property is determined based upon the appraisal using a market approach. An authorized independent appraiser conducts appraisals for United. Appraisals for property other than ongoing construction are based on consideration of

comparable property sales (Level 2). In contrast, valuation of ongoing construction assets requires some degree of professional judgment. In conducting an appraisal for ongoing construction property, the appraiser develops two appraised amounts: an “as is” appraised value and a “completed” value. Based on professional judgment and their knowledge of the particular situation, management determines the appropriate fair value to be utilized for such property (Level 3). As a matter of policy, valuations are reviewed at least annually and appraisals are generally updated on a bi-annual basis with values lowered as necessary.

Intangible Assets: For United, intangible assets consist of goodwill and core deposit intangibles. Goodwill is tested for

impairment at least annually or sooner if indicators of impairment exist. Goodwill impairment would be defined as the difference between the recorded value of goodwill (i.e. book value) and the implied fair value of goodwill. In determining the implied fair value of goodwill for purposes of evaluating goodwill impairment, United determines the fair value of the reporting unit using a market approach and compares the fair value to its carrying value. If the carrying value exceeds the fair value, a step two test is performed whereby the implied fair value is computed by deducting the fair value of all tangible and intangible net assets from the fair value of the reporting unit. Core deposit intangibles relate to the estimated value of the deposit base of acquired institutions. Management reviews core deposit intangible assets on an annual basis, or sooner if indicators of impairment exist, and evaluates changes in facts and circumstances that may indicate impairment in the carrying value. No fair value measurement of intangible assets was made during the first ~~nine months~~quarter of ~~2012, due to the fact that there were no indicators of possible impairment.~~2013.

The following table summarizes United’s financial assets that were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the ~~period:~~period.

The following methods and assumptions were used by United in estimating its fair value disclosures for other financial instruments:

Cash and Cash Equivalents: The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents approximate those assets’ fair values.

Securities held to maturity and other ~~securities:~~securities: The estimated fair values of held to maturity are based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are measured utilizing independent valuation techniques of identical or similar securities for which significant assumptions are derived primarily from or corroborated by observable market data. Third party vendors compile prices from various sources and may determine the fair value of identical or similar securities by using pricing models that considers observable market data. Any securities held to maturity, not valued based upon the methods above, are valued based on a discounted cash flow methodology using appropriately adjusted discount rates reflecting nonperformance and liquidity risks. Other securities consist mainly of shares of Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal Reserve Bank stock that do not have readily determinable fair values and are carried at cost.

Loans: The fair values of certain mortgage loans (e.g., one-to-four family residential), credit card loans, and other

consumer loans are based on quoted market prices of similar loans sold in conjunction with securitization transactions, adjusted for differences in loan characteristics. The fair values of other loans (e.g., commercial real estate and rental property mortgage loans, commercial and industrial loans, financial institution loans and agricultural loans) are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using market interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar creditworthiness, which include adjustments for liquidity concerns.

Deposits: The fair values of demand deposits (e.g., interest and noninterest checking, regular savings and certain types of money market accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts). The carrying amounts of variable-rate, fixed-term money market accounts and certificates of deposit approximate their fair values at the reporting date. Fair values of fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits.

Short-term Borrowings: The carrying amounts of federal funds purchased, borrowings under repurchase agreements and any other short-term borrowings approximate their fair values.

Long-term Borrowings: The fair values of United’s Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings and trust preferred securities are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, based on United’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

The estimated fair values of United’s financial instruments are summarized below:

On May 16, 2011, United’s shareholders approved the 2011 Long-Term Incentive Plan (2011 LTI Plan). The 2011 LTI Plan became effective as of July 1, ~~2011. The 2011 LTI Plan replaced the 2006 Stock Option Plan which expired during the second quarter of~~ 2011. An award granted under the 2011 LTI Plan may consist of any non-qualified stock options or incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, or restricted stock units. These awards all relate to the common stock of United. The maximum number of shares of United common stock which may be issued under the 2011 LTI Plan is 1,500,000. Any and all shares may be issued in respect of any of the types of awards, provided that (1) the aggregate number of shares that may be issued in respect of restricted stock awards, and restricted stock units awards which are settled in shares is 350,000, and (2) the aggregate number of shares that may be issued pursuant to stock options is 1,150,000. The shares to be offered under the 2011 LTI Plan may be authorized and unissued shares or treasury shares. With respect to awards that are intended to satisfy the requirements for performance-based compensation under Code Section 162(m), the maximum number of options and stock appreciation rights, in the aggregate, which may be awarded pursuant to the 2011 LTI Plan to any individual participant during any calendar year is 100,000, and the maximum number of shares of restricted stock and/or shares subject to a restricted stock units award that may be granted pursuant to the 2011 LTI Plan to any individual participant during any calendar year is 50,000 shares. A participant may be any key employee of United or its affiliates or a non-employee member of United’s Board of Directors. Subject to certain change in control provisions, stock options, SARs, restricted stock and restricted stock units will vest in 25% increments over the first four anniversaries of the awards unless the Committee specifies otherwise in the award agreement. No award will vest sooner than 1/3 per year over the first three anniversaries of the award. A Form S-8 was filed on September 2, 2011 with the Securities and Exchange Commission to register all the shares which were available for the 2011 LTI Plan. During the first ~~nine months~~quarter of ~~2012,~~2013, a total of ~~188,775~~189,225 non-qualified stock options and ~~52,700~~52,825 shares of restricted stock were granted under the 2011 LTI Plan.

Compensation expense of ~~$496~~$384 thousand and ~~$1.38 million~~$389 thousand related to the nonvested awards under the 2011 LTI Plan and the 2006 Stock Option Plan was incurred for the ~~third~~first quarter of 2013 and ~~first nine months of~~ 2012, respectively, as compared to the compensation expense of $336 thousand and $797 thousand related to the nonvested awards under the 2006 Stock Option Plan incurred for the third quarter and first nine months of 2011, respectively. Compensation expense was included in employee compensation in the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income.

United currently has options outstanding from various option plans other than the ~~2006 Stock Option~~2011 LTI Plan (the ~~“Prior Plans”)~~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. The maximum term for options granted under the plans is ten (10) years.

A summary of activity under United’s stock option plans as of ~~September 30, 2012,~~March 31, 2013, and the changes during the first ~~nine~~three months of ~~2012~~2013 are presented below:

All shares issued in connection with stock option exercises were issued from available treasury stock for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2012~~March 31, 2013 and ~~2011.~~2012. The total intrinsic value of options exercised under the Plans during the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2013 and 2012 ~~and 2011~~ was ~~$98~~$43 thousand and ~~$473~~$79 thousand, respectively.

Under the 2011 LTI Plan, United may award restricted common shares to key employees and non-employee directors. In the first quarter of 2013 and 2012, United granted restricted shares to participants with a four-year time-based vesting period. Recipients of restricted shares do not pay any consideration to United for the shares, have the right to vote all shares subject to such grant and receive all dividends with respect to such shares, whether or not the shares have vested. Presently, these nonvested participating securities have an immaterial impact on diluted earnings per share.

The following summarizes the changes to United’s restricted common shares for the ~~nine months~~period ended ~~September 30, 2012:~~March 31, 2013:

United has a defined benefit retirement plan covering a majority of 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. 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.

In September of 2007, after a recommendation by United’s Pension Committee and approval by United’s Board of Directors, the United Bankshares, Inc. Pension Plan (the Plan) was amended to change the participation rules. The decision to change the participation rules for the Plan followed current industry trends, as many large and medium size companies had taken similar steps. The amendment provides that employees hired on or after October 1, 2007, will not be eligible to participate in the Plan. However, new employees will continue to be eligible to participate in United’s Savings and Stock Investment 401(k) plan. This change had no impact on current employees hired prior to October 1, 2007 as they will continue to participate in the Plan, with no change in benefit provisions, and will continue to be eligible to participate in United’s Savings and Stock Investment 401(k) plan. ~~During 2011, Centra’s 401(k) plan was merged into United’s Savings and Stock Investment 401(k) plan.~~

Included in accumulated other comprehensive income at December 31, ~~2011~~2012 are the following amounts that have not yet been recognized in net periodic pension cost: unrecognized prior service costs of $4$3 ($32 net of tax) and unrecognized actuarial losses of ~~$50,590~~$56,921 ($~~32,884~~36,999 net of tax). The amortization of these items expected to be recognized in net periodic pension cost during the fiscal year ended December 31, ~~2012~~2013 is $1 ($1 net of tax), and ~~$4,124~~$4,693 ($~~2,680~~3,050 net of tax), respectively.

Net periodic pension cost for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2013 and 2012 ~~and 2011~~ included the following components:


	Three Months Ended March 31

United records a liability for uncertain income tax positions based on 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.

As of ~~September 30, 2012,~~March 31, 2013, United has provided a liability for ~~$2,000~~$2,152 of unrecognized tax benefits related to various federal and state income tax matters. The entire amount of unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, would impact United’s effective tax rate. Over the next 12 months, the statute of limitations will close on certain income tax periods. However, at this time, United cannot reasonably estimate the amount of tax benefits it may recognize over the next 12 months.

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, 2009 through December 31, 2011.

As of ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2013 and 2012, ~~and 2011,~~ the total amount of accrued interest related to uncertain tax positions was ~~$768~~$1,166 and ~~$171,~~$737, respectively. United accounts for interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as part of its provision for federal and state income taxes.

The components of total comprehensive income for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2013 and 2012 ~~and 2011~~ are as follows:

Variable interest entities (VIEs) are entities that either have a total equity investment that is insufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support or whose equity investors lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest (i.e., ability to make significant decisions, through voting rights, right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity, and obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity). VIEs can be structured as corporations, trusts, partnerships, or other legal entities. United’s business practices include relationships with certain VIEs. For United, the business purpose of these relationships primarily consists of funding activities in the form of issuing trust preferred securities.

United currently sponsors twelve statutory business trusts that were created for the purpose of raising funds that qualify for Tier I regulatory capital. These trusts, of which several were acquired through bank acquisitions, issued or participated in pools of trust preferred capital securities to third-party investors with the proceeds invested in junior subordinated debt securities of United. The Company, through a small capital contribution, owns 100% of the voting equity shares of each trust. The assets, liabilities, operations, and cash flows of each trust are solely related to the issuance, administration, and repayment of the preferred equity securities held by third-party investors. United fully and unconditionally guarantees the obligations of each trust and is obligated to redeem the junior subordinated debentures upon maturity.

The trusts utilized in these transactions are VIEs as the third-party equity holders lack a controlling financial interest in the trusts through their inability to make decisions that have a significant effect on the operations and success of the entities. United does not consolidate these trusts as it is not the primary beneficiary of these entities because United’s equity interest does not absorb the majority of the trusts’ expected losses or receive a majority of their expected residual returns.

United, through its banking subsidiaries, also makes limited partner equity investments in various low income housing and community development partnerships sponsored by independent third-parties. United invests in these partnerships to either realize tax credits on its consolidated federal income tax return or for purposes of earning a return on its investment. These partnerships are considered VIEs as the limited partners lack a controlling financial interest in the entities through their inability to make decisions that have a significant effect on the operations and success of the partnerships. United’s limited partner interests in these entities ~~are~~is immaterial, however; these partnerships are not consolidated as United is not deemed to be the primary beneficiary.

On July 11, 2012, a wholly-owned subsidiary of United submitted a redemption notice to the trustee of Sequoia Trust I, to redeem $5.0 million of the trust preferred securities outstanding. The Federal Reserve Board did not object to the partial redemption of the securities. The redemption was made by a cash payment on August 20, 2012 (the “Redemption Date”) equal to the redemption price of 104.581% of $5.0 million of the principal amount of the Securities (total of $5.23 million) plus any accrued and unpaid interest up to the Redemption Date. The partial redemption was funded with excess cash currently available to United.

The following table summarizes quantitative information about United’s significant involvement in unconsolidated VIEs:

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.

The following discussion and analysis presents the significant changes in financial condition and the results of operations of United and its subsidiaries for the periods indicated below. This discussion and the unaudited consolidated financial statements and the notes to unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of

United Bankshares, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, unless otherwise indicated. Management has evaluated all significant events and transactions that occurred after ~~September 30, 2012,~~March 31, 2013, but prior to the date these financial statements were issued, for potential recognition or disclosure required in these financial statements.

This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the unaudited ~~consolidated financial statements~~Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes thereto, which are included elsewhere in this document.

In addition, on July 8, 2011, United completed its acquisition of Centra Financial Holdings, Inc. (Centra) of Morgantown, West Virginia. The results of operations of Centra are included in the consolidated results of operations from the date of acquisition. As a result, the comparisons of the first nine months of 2012 to the first nine months of 2011 are impacted by increased levels of average balances, income, expense, and asset quality results due to the acquisition. At consummation, Centra had assets of approximately $1.3 billion, loans of $1.0 billion, deposits of $1.1 billion and shareholders’ equity of $131 million.

The accounting and reporting policies of United conform with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. 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, which are reviewed with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, 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 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 investment securities and the related other-than-temporary impairment analysis, 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.

As explained in Note 6, Allowance for Credit Losses to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, allowance for credit losses represents management’s estimate of the probable credit losses inherent in the lending portfolio. Determining the allowance for credit losses requires management to make estimates of losses that are highly uncertain and require a high degree of judgment. At ~~September 30, 2012,~~March 31, 2013, the allowance for loan losses was ~~$73.8~~$74.2 million and is subject to periodic adjustment based on management’s assessment of current probable losses in the loan portfolio. Such adjustment from period to period can have a significant impact on United’s consolidated financial statements. To illustrate the potential effect on the financial statements of our estimates of the allowance for loan losses, a 10% increase in the allowance for loan losses would have required $7.4 million in additional allowance (funded by additional provision for credit losses), which would have negatively impacted the first ~~nine months~~quarter of ~~2012~~2013 net income by approximately $4.8 million, or $0.10 diluted per common share. 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 estimates related to 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. Additional information relating to United’s allowance for credit losses including the methodology used to determine the allowance for credit losses is described in Note 6. 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 (MD&A). Additional information relating to United’s loans is included in Note 4, Loans to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

Accounting estimates are used in the presentation of the investment portfolio and these estimates impact the presentation of United’s financial condition and results of operations. United classifies its investments in debt and equity securities as either held to maturity or available for sale. Securities held to maturity are accounted for using historical costs, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Securities available for sale are accounted for at fair value, with the net unrealized gains and losses, net of income tax effects, presented as a separate

component of shareholders’ equity. When available, fair values of securities are based on quoted prices or prices obtained from third party vendors. Third party vendors compile prices from various sources and may determine the fair value of identical or similar securities by using pricing models that consider observable market data. Prices obtained from third party vendors that do not reflect forced liquidation or distressed sales are not adjusted by management. Where prices reflect forced liquidation or distressed sales, as is the case with United’s portfolio of pooled trust preferred securities, management estimates fair value based on a discounted cash flow methodology using appropriately adjusted discount rates reflecting nonperformance and liquidity risks. Due to the subjective nature of this valuation process, it is possible that the actual fair values of these securities could differ from the estimated amounts, thereby affecting United’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The potential impact to United’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows for changes in the valuation process cannot be reasonably estimated.

If the estimated value of investments is less than the cost or amortized cost, the investment is considered impaired and management evaluates whether an event or change in circumstances has occurred that may have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the investment. If such an event or change has occurred, management must exercise judgment to determine the nature of the potential impairment (i.e., temporary or other-than-temporary) in order to apply the appropriate accounting treatment. If United intends to sell, or is more likely than not they will be required to sell an impaired debt security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current period credit loss, other-than-temporary impairment is recognized in earnings. The amount recognized in earnings is equal to the entire difference between the security’s amortized cost basis and its fair value at the balance sheet date. If United does not intend to sell, and is not more likely than not they will be required to sell the impaired debt security prior to recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current-period credit loss, the other-than-temporary impairment is separated into the following: 1) the amount representing the credit loss, which is recognized in earnings, and 2) the amount related to all other factors, which is recognized in other comprehensive income. Given the recent disruptions in the financial markets, the decision to recognize other-than-temporary impairment on investment securities has become more difficult as complete information is not always available and market conditions and other relevant factors are subject to rapid changes. Therefore, the other-than-temporary impairment assessment has become a critical accounting policy for United. For additional information on management’s consideration of investment valuation and other-than-temporary impairment, see Note 3, Investment Securities, and Note 12, Fair Value Measurements, to the unaudited consolidated financial statements.

United’s calculation of income tax provision is inherently complex due to the various different tax laws and jurisdictions in which we operate and requires management’s use of estimates and judgments in its determination. The current income tax liability also includes income tax expense related to our uncertain tax positions as required in ASC topic 740, “Income Taxes.” Changes to the estimated accrued taxes can occur due to changes in tax rates, implementation of new business strategies, resolution of issues with taxing authorities and recently enacted statutory, judicial and regulatory guidance. These changes can be material to the Company’s operating results for any particular reporting period. The analysis of the income tax provision requires the assessments of the relative risks and merits of the appropriate tax treatment of transactions, filing positions, filing methods and taxable income calculations after considering statutes, regulations, judicial precedent and other information. 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. The potential impact to United’s operating results for any of the changes cannot be reasonably estimated. See Note 15, Income Taxes, to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding United’s ASC topic 740 disclosures.

~~Any material effect on the financial statements related to these critical accounting areas are further discussed in this MD&A.~~

United determines the fair value of its financial instruments based on the fair value hierarchy established in ASC topic 820, whereby the fair value of certain assets and liabilities is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. ASC topic 820 establishes a three-level hierarchy for disclosure of assets and liabilities recorded at fair value. The classification of assets and liabilities within the hierarchy is based on whether the inputs in the methodology for determining fair value are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market-based information obtained from independent sources (Level 1 or Level 2), while unobservable inputs reflect management’s estimate of market data (Level 3). For assets and liabilities that are actively traded and have quoted prices or observable market data, a minimal amount of subjectivity concerning fair value is needed. Prices and values obtained from third party vendors that do not reflect forced liquidation or distressed sales are not adjusted by management. When quoted prices or observable market data are not available, management’s judgment is necessary to estimate fair value.

At ~~September 30, 2012,~~March 31, 2013, approximately ~~9.09%~~9.03% of total assets, or ~~$761.65~~$750.44 million, consisted of financial instruments recorded at fair value. Of this total, approximately ~~92.07%~~91.83% or ~~$701.24~~$689.16 million of these financial instruments used valuation methodologies involving observable market data, collectively Level 1 and Level 2 measurements, to determine fair value. Approximately ~~7.93%~~8.17% or ~~$60.40~~$61.28 million of these financial instruments were valued using unobservable market information or Level 3 measurements. Most of these financial instruments valued using unobservable market information were pooled trust preferred investment securities classified as available-for-sale. At ~~September 30, 2012,~~March 31, 2013, only ~~$5.30~~$3.10 million or less than 1% of total liabilities were recorded at fair value. This entire amount was valued using methodologies involving observable market data. United does not believe that any changes in the unobservable inputs used to value the financial instruments mentioned above would have a material impact on United’s results of operations, liquidity, or capital resources. See Note 12, Fair Value Measurements, to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding ASC topic 820 and its impact on United’s financial statements.

Any material effect on the financial statements related to these critical accounting areas are further discussed in this MD&A.

United’s total assets as of ~~September 30, 2012~~March 31, 2013 were ~~$8.38~~$8.31 billion which was a decrease of ~~$70.09~~$106.19 million or ~~less than 1%~~1.26% from December 31, ~~2011.~~2012. The decrease was primarily the result of a ~~$199.68~~$69.43 million or ~~31.40%~~16.07% decrease in cash and cash equivalents, a ~~$57.51~~$44.65 million or ~~6.98%~~less than 1% decrease in ~~investment securities~~portfolio loans, and a ~~$12.26~~$10.72 million or ~~3.48%~~60.36% decrease in ~~other assets.~~loans held for sale. Partially offsetting these decreases in total assets was an increase ~~in portfolio loans~~ of ~~$191.84~~$20.81 million or ~~3.08% and an increase of $9.00 million or 230.73%~~2.85% in ~~loans held for sale.~~investment securities. The decrease in total assets is reflected in a corresponding decrease in total liabilities of ~~$89.68~~$114.18 million or ~~1.20% while shareholders’ equity increased $19.59 million or 2.02%.~~1.54% from year-end 2012. The decrease in total liabilities was due mainly to ~~a $65.09~~decreases of $70.27 million or 1.04% and ~~a $60.37~~$46.15 million ~~decrease~~or 7.69% in deposits and ~~long-term~~ borrowings, respectively, ~~which were partially offset by a $33.72~~while accrued expenses and other liabilities increased $2.02 million ~~increase in short-term borrowings.~~or 2.75% from year-end 2012. Shareholders’ equity was flat, increasing $8.00 million or less than 1% from year-end 2012.

The following discussion explains in more detail the changes in financial condition by major category.

Cash and cash equivalents at ~~September 30, 2012~~March 31, 2013 decreased ~~$199.68~~$69.43 million or ~~31.40%~~16.07% from year-end ~~2011.~~2012. Of this total decrease, interest-bearing deposits with other banks decreased ~~$209.09~~$50.47 million or ~~41.29%~~18.45% as United placed less excess cash in an interest-bearing account with the Federal Reserve. ~~Partially offsetting this decrease in interest-bearing deposits with other banks is a $9.40 million or 7.31% increase in~~In addition, cash and due from banks ~~and a $12 thousand~~

decreased $18.65 million or ~~1.19% increase in~~11.84% and federal funds ~~sold.~~sold decreased $303 thousand or 29.68%. During the first ~~nine~~three months of ~~2012,~~2013, net cash of ~~$89.20~~$44.01 million and $18.27 million was provided by operating ~~activities.~~activities and investing activities, respectively. Net cash of ~~$153.35~~$131.72 million ~~and $135.53 million were~~was used in ~~investing activities and~~ financing ~~activities, respectively.~~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 ~~nine~~three months of ~~2012~~2013 and ~~2011.~~2012.

Total investment securities at ~~September 30, 2012 decreased $57.51~~March 31, 2013 increased $20.81 million or ~~6.98%~~2.85% from year-end ~~2011.~~2012. Securities available for sale ~~decreased $46.37~~increased $25.02 million or ~~6.66%~~4.00%. This change in securities available for sale ~~mainly~~ reflects ~~$1.42 billion~~$175.81 million in sales, maturities and calls of securities, ~~$1.37 billion~~$201.04 million in purchases, and an increase of ~~$1.95~~$1.16 million in market value. Securities held to maturity ~~decreased $6.36 million~~were flat, decreasing $201 thousand or ~~10.73%~~less than 1% from year-end ~~2011~~2012 due ~~primarily~~ to calls and maturities of securities. Other investment securities decreased ~~$4.77~~$4.00 million or ~~6.98%~~6.63% from year-end ~~2011.~~2012.

At ~~September 30, 2012,~~March 31, 2013, gross unrealized losses on available for sale securities were ~~$65.39~~$56.39 million. Securities in an unrealized loss position at ~~September 30, 2012~~March 31, 2013 consisted primarily of pooled trust preferred collateralized debt obligations (TRUP CDOs), single issue trust preferred securities and non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities. The

TRUP CDOs and the single issue trust preferred securities relate mainly to securities of financial institutions.

As of ~~September 30, 2012,~~March 31, 2013, United’s mortgage-backed securities had an amortized cost of ~~$135.51~~$167.34 million, with an estimated fair value of ~~$139.26~~$171.96 million. The portfolio consisted primarily of ~~$108.05~~$70.52 million in agency residential mortgage-backed securities with a fair value of ~~$113.70~~$74.36 million, ~~and $27.46~~$22.41 million in non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities with an estimated fair value of ~~$25.56~~$22.99 million, and $74.41 million in commercial mortgage-backed securities with an estimated fair value of $74.61 million. As of March 31, 2013, United’s asset-backed securities had an amortized cost of $11.16 million, with an estimated fair value of $11.20 million.

As of ~~September 30, 2012,~~March 31, 2013, United’s corporate securities had an amortized cost of ~~$143.59~~$137.08 million, with an estimated fair value of ~~$77.81~~$78.83 million. The portfolio consisted primarily of ~~$96.07~~$93.32 million in pooled trust preferred securities with a fair value of ~~$37.37~~$39.84 million and ~~$42.27~~$35.05 million in single issue trust preferred securities with an estimated fair value of ~~$34.89~~$29.75 million. In addition to the trust preferred securities, the Company held positions in various other corporate securities, including marketable equity securities, with an amortized cost of ~~$5.22~~$8.71 million and a fair value of ~~$5.56~~$9.24 million, only one of which was individually significant.

The pooled trust preferred securities consisted of positions in 23 different securities. The underlying issuers in the pools were primarily financial institutions and to a lesser extent, insurance companies. The Company has no exposure to Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) in its investment portfolio. The Company owns both senior and mezzanine tranches in pooled trust preferred ~~securities and~~securities; however, the Company does not own any income notes. The senior and mezzanine tranches of trust preferred collateralized debt obligations generally have some protection from defaults in the form of over-collateralization and excess spread revenues, along with waterfall structures that redirect cash flows in the event certain coverage test requirements are failed. Generally, senior tranches have the greatest protection, with mezzanine tranches subordinated to the senior tranches, and income notes subordinated to the mezzanine tranches. Senior tranches represent ~~$17.69~~$17.06 million of the Company’s pooled securities, while mezzanine tranches represent ~~$78.41~~$76.25 million. Of the ~~$78.41~~$76.25 million in mezzanine tranches, ~~$11.84~~$11.74 million are now in the ~~senior~~Senior position as the ~~senior~~Senior notes have been paid to a zero balance. As of ~~September 30, 2012, $9.21~~March 31, 2013, $8.58 million of the pooled trust preferred securities were investment grade, $5.00 million were split-rated, and the remaining ~~$81.89~~$79.74 million were below investment grade. In terms of capital adequacy, the Company allocates additional risk-based capital to the below investment grade securities.

As of ~~September 30, 2012,~~March 31, 2013, United’s single issue trust preferred securities had an amortized cost of ~~$42.27~~$35.05 million. Of the ~~$42.27~~$35.05 million, $10.89 million or ~~25.77%~~31.08% were investment grade; $633 thousand or 1.81% were unrated; $7.90 million or ~~18.68%~~22.55% were ~~split-rated; $15.60~~split rated; and $15.62 million or ~~36.90%~~44.56% were below investment ~~grade; and $7.88 million or 18.65% were unrated.~~grade. The ~~three~~two largest exposures accounted for ~~58.02%~~49.30% of the ~~$42.27~~$35.05 million. These included Wells Fargo at $9.89 million and SunTrust Bank at ~~$7.38 million and Peoples Bancorp, Inc. at $7.25~~$7.39 million. All single-issue trust preferred securities, with the exception of two securities totaling $633 thousand, are currently receiving full scheduled principal and interest payments.

During the first ~~nine months~~quarter of ~~2012,~~2013, United recognized net other-than-temporary impairment charges totaling ~~$4.75 million and $622~~$834 thousand ~~respectively,~~ on certain TRUP CDOs, ~~and non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities,~~ which are not expected to be sold. Other than these securities, management does not believe that any other individual security with an unrealized loss as of ~~September 30, 2012~~March 31, 2013 is other-than-temporarily impaired. United believes the decline in value resulted from changes in market interest rates, credit spreads and liquidity, not an adverse change in the expected contractual cash flows. Based on a review of each of the securities in the investment portfolio, management concluded that it was not probable that it would be unable to realize the cost basis investment and appropriate interest payments on such securities. 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.

Further information regarding the amortized cost and estimated fair value of investment securities, including remaining maturities as well as a more detailed discussion of management’s other-than-temporary impairment analysis, is

presented in Note 3 to the unaudited Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Portfolio loans, net of unearned income, ~~increased $191.84~~were flat, decreasing $44.65 million or ~~3.08%~~less than 1% from year-end ~~2011~~2012 mainly due to a ~~$222.77~~$45.35 million or ~~6.35% increase~~1.18% decrease in the total commercial, financial and agricultural loans ~~category, and a $7.41 million or 1.35% increase in construction and land development loans.~~category. Within the commercial, financial and agricultural loans category, commercial real estate loans increased ~~$160.82~~$32.22 million or ~~7.00%~~1.30% while commercial loans (not secured by real estate) ~~increased $61.95~~decreased $77.56 million or ~~5.11%~~5.63%. In addition, residential real estate loans and consumer loans remained flat, decreasing $13.42 million or less than 1% and $2.23 million or less than 1%, respectively. Partially offsetting these ~~increases~~decreases in portfolio loans was ~~a decrease~~an increase of ~~$37.39~~$16.69 million or ~~1.98%~~3.03% in ~~residential real estate~~construction and land development loans.

Other assets ~~decreased $12.26~~were flat, decreasing $1.24 million or ~~3.48%~~less than 1% from year-end ~~2011 due~~2012 mainly toas a result of decreases in income ~~tax receivable of $5.76 million,~~ deferred tax assets of ~~$4.06~~$2.93 million ~~OREO of $1.72 million,~~due to timing differences in payments, prepaid ~~regulatory~~FDIC assessments of ~~$4.13~~$1.44 million due to payments of previously accrued insurance premiums, and core deposit intangibles of ~~$2.17 million~~$534 thousand due to amortization. Partially offsetting these decreases from year-end ~~2011~~2012 was an increase of ~~$4.58~~$3.39 million in ~~cash surrender values of bank-owned life insurance policies and an increase of $1.22 million in accounts receivable.~~prepaid secondary market fees.

Deposits represent United’s primary source of funding. Total deposits at ~~September 30, 2012 remained flat, decreasing $65.09~~March 31, 2013 decreased $70.27 million or ~~less than 1%~~1.04% from year-end ~~2011.~~2012. In terms of composition, noninterest-bearing deposits ~~increased $188.04~~decreased $14.07 million or ~~11.61%~~less than 1% while interest-bearing deposits decreased ~~$253.12~~$56.21 million or ~~4.87%~~1.14% from December 31, ~~2011.~~2012.

The ~~increase~~decrease in noninterest-bearing deposits was due mainly to ~~increases~~decreases in commercial noninterest-bearing deposits of ~~$151.35~~

$19.04 million or ~~13.47%,~~1.51% and public noninterest-bearing deposits of ~~$62.90~~$4.04 million or ~~68.91% and~~5.89%. Partially offsetting these decreases was a $24.19 million or 5.86% increase in personal noninterest-bearing ~~deposits of $7.76 million or 2.03%.~~deposits.

The decrease in interest-bearing deposits was due mainly to a ~~$187.06~~$17.89 million or ~~8.70%~~1.48% decrease in interest-bearing ~~MMDAs,~~checking accounts, a ~~$119.75~~$40.62 million or ~~9.86%~~3.92% decrease in time deposits under $100,000, and a ~~$84.59~~$36.62 million or ~~7.85%~~3.83% decrease in time deposits over $100,000 due in large part to historically low interest rates. The ~~$187.06~~$17.89 million

decrease in interest-bearing ~~MMDAs~~checking accounts is ~~mainly~~ due to ~~a $209.70 million or 15.21% decrease in personal MMDAs and a $79.48 million or 11.23% decrease~~decreases in commercial ~~MMDAs which were partially offset by a $102.12~~and personal interest-bearing checking accounts of $8.14 million ~~or 159.16% increase in public funds MMDAs.~~and $12.13 million, respectively. State and municipal interest-bearing checking accounts increased $2.37 million. The ~~$119.75~~$40.62 million decrease in time deposits under $100,000 is the result of fixed rate certificate of deposits (CDs) declining ~~$123.51~~$41.68 million. The ~~$84.59~~$36.62 million decrease in time deposits over $100,000 is due to a ~~$40.22~~$13.81 million decrease in Deposit Account Registry Service (CDARS) balances over $100,000 and a ~~$47.83~~$20.08 million decrease in fixed rate CDs over $100,000. Partially offsetting these decreases in interest-bearing deposits ~~was~~is a ~~$101.11~~$28.89 million or ~~35.52%~~5.52% increase in interest-bearing checking deposits mainly due to increases in state and municipal interest-bearing checking accounts of $54.28 million, personal interest-bearing checking accounts of $23.69 million and commercial interest-bearing checking accounts of $23.13 million. In addition, regular savings accounts ~~increased $37.17 million or 7.84%~~ mainly due to an increase of ~~$35.88~~$28.44 million in personal savings accounts. ~~With low market interest rates, depositors moved their funds into short-term interest~~In addition, interest-bearing MMDAs ~~and savings accounts where they can wait for rates to increase before extending maturities.~~increased $10.03 million or less than 1%.

Accrued expenses and other liabilities at ~~September 30, 2012~~March 31, 2013 increased ~~$2.12~~$2.02 million or ~~3.45%~~2.75% from year-end ~~2011. In particular,~~2012 mainly due to a $5.54 million or 112.81% increase in income taxes payable ~~increased $2.91 million~~ due to higher earnings and a $468 thousand or 14.55% increase in other taxes payable due to timing ~~difference~~differences in ~~payments while other accrued expenses increased $2.20 million due mainly to an accrual of $3.30 million with respect to a litigation settlement related to overdraft claims against United.~~payments. Partially offsetting these increases in accrued expenses and other liabilities ~~was~~is a ~~$1.03 million decrease in interest payable, a $1.40~~$1.50 million decrease in incentives payable, ~~and~~ a ~~$988 thousand~~$1.25 million decrease in other ~~taxes payable.~~accrued expenses, and a $1.18 million decrease in FAS 133 derivative liability.

Shareholders’ equity at ~~September 30, 2012 increased $19.59 million or 2.02%~~March 31, 2013 was flat from December 31, ~~2011~~2012, increasing $8.00 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 ~~$14.63~~$5.97 million for the ~~first nine months of 2012.~~quarter.

Accumulated other comprehensive income ~~increased $3.37~~decreased $1.50 million ~~or 5.05%~~ due mainly to the after-tax accretion of pension costs of ~~$1.86 million, a $1.27 million increase, net of deferred income taxes, in the fair value of United’s available for sale investment portfolio~~$741 thousand and the after tax non-credit portion of OTTI losses of ~~$249~~$816 thousand for the first ~~nine months~~quarter of ~~2012.~~2013. United’s available for sale investment portfolio remained flat, decreasing $64 thousand, net of deferred income taxes.

Net income for the first ~~nine~~three months of ~~2012~~2013 was ~~$61.39~~$21.58 million or ~~$1.22~~$0.43 per diluted share compared to ~~$55.35~~$21.01 million or ~~$1.21~~$0.42 per share for the first ~~nine~~three months of ~~2011. Net income for the third quarter of 2012 was $19.33 million or $0.38 per diluted share, as compared to $20.02 million or $0.40 per diluted share for the prior year third quarter.~~2012. United’s annualized return on average assets for the first ~~nine~~three months of ~~2012~~2013 was ~~0.97%~~1.05% and return on average shareholders’ equity was ~~8.32%~~8.72% as compared to ~~0.98%~~1.00% and ~~8.62%~~8.63% for the first ~~nine~~three months of 2011. For the third quarter of 2012, United’s annualized return on average assets was 0.92% and return on average shareholders’ equity was 7.76% as compared to 0.95% and 8.26% for the third quarter of 2011.2012.

As previously stated, United completed its acquisition of Centra during the third quarter of 2011. As a result, comparisons for the first nine months of 2012 to the same time period in 2011 are impacted by increased levels of average balances, income, and expense due to the acquisition. The results for the ~~third~~first quarter ~~and first nine months~~ of ~~2012 included an accrual~~2013 include noncash, before-tax, other-than-temporary impairment charges of ~~$3.3 million with respect to a settlement of claims asserted in class actions against United Bank, Inc. of West Virginia. In addition, the~~$834 thousand on certain investment securities. The results for the first ~~nine months and third~~ quarter of 2012 included noncash, before-tax, other-than-temporary impairment charges of ~~$5.37~~$1.38 million and $2.26 million, respectively, on certain investment securities. The results for the first nine months and third quarter of 2011 included before-tax, other-than-temporary impairment charges of $14.13 million and $7.92 million, respectively, on certain investment securities.

Net interest income for the first ~~nine~~three months of ~~2012~~2013 was ~~$208.04~~$66.82 million, ~~an increase of $19.30 million or 10.23% from the prior year’s first nine months. Net interest income for the third quarter of 2012~~which was ~~$70.01 million,~~ a decrease of ~~$738 thousand~~$2.14 million or ~~1.04%~~3.11% from ~~prior year’s third quarter. The provision for credit losses was $11.92 million and $4.35~~net interest income of $68.97 million for the first ~~nine~~three months ~~and third~~of 2012. The decrease in net interest income occurred because total interest income decreased $5.46 million while total interest expense only declined $3.32 million from the first quarter of ~~2012, respectively, as compared to $12.87 million and $3.64~~2012.

The provision for loan losses was $5.19 million for the first ~~nine~~three months ~~and third quarter~~ of ~~2011, respectively.~~

~~Noninterest income~~2013 as compared to $4.13 million for the first ~~nine~~three months of ~~2012~~2012. Noninterest income was ~~$49.55~~$18.35 million ~~which was an increase~~for the first three months of ~~$10.58~~2013, up $2.02 million or ~~27.16% from~~12.39% when compared to the first ~~nine~~three months of ~~2011. For the third quarter of 2012, noninterest income was $16.63 million, an increase of $5.66~~2012. Noninterest expense decreased $2.01 million or ~~51.52% from the third quarter of 2011. Included in noninterest income were the previously mentioned other-than-temporary impairment charges on investment securities. For~~4.01% for the first ~~nine~~three months of ~~2012, noninterest expense~~2013 compared to the same period in 2012. Income taxes increased ~~$21.36 million or 15.94% from~~$268 thousand for the first ~~nine~~three months of ~~2011. For~~2013 as compared to the ~~third quarter of 2012, noninterest expense increased $5.00 million or 10.22% from the third quarter of 2011. As previously mentioned, included in noninterest expense for the third quarter and~~ first ~~nine~~three months of ~~2012 was the accrual for the settlement of claims asserted in class actions against United.~~

~~For the first nine months of 2012 and 2011, income tax expense was $28.89 million and $25.45 million, respectively.~~2012. The effective tax rate was 32.00% for both the first ~~nine months of 2012 and 2011 was 32.00% and 31.50%, respectively. Income taxes for the third~~ quarter of ~~2012 were $9.10 million as compared to $9.20 million for the third quarter of 2011. For the quarters ended September 30, 2012~~2013 and ~~2011, United’s effective tax rates were 32.00% and 31.50%, respectively.~~2012.

The following discussion explains in more detail the results of operations by major category.

Net interest income represents the primary component of United’s earnings. It is the difference between interest income from earning assets and interest expense incurred to fund these assets. Net interest income is impacted by changes in the volume and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, as well as changes in market interest rates.

Such changes, and their impact on net interest income in ~~2012~~2013 and ~~2011,~~2012, are presented below.

Net interest income for the first ~~nine~~three months of ~~2012~~2013 was $208.04 million, which was an increase of $19.30 million or 10.23% from the first nine months of 2011. The $19.30 million increase in net interest income occurred because total interest income increased $13.24 million while total interest expense declined $6.06 million from the first nine months of 2011. Net interest income for the third quarter of 2012 was $70.01$66.82 million, which was a decrease of ~~$738 thousand~~$2.14 million or ~~1.04%~~3.11% from the ~~third~~first quarter of ~~2011.~~2012. The ~~$738 thousand~~$2.14 million decrease in net interest income occurred because total interest income decreased ~~$3.37~~$5.46 million while total interest expense only declined ~~$2.63~~$3.32 million from the ~~third~~first quarter of ~~2011.~~2012. On a linked-quarter basis, net interest income for the ~~third~~first quarter of ~~2012 increased $959 thousand~~2013 decreased $2.85 million or ~~1.39%~~4.09% from the ~~second~~fourth quarter of 2012. The ~~$959 thousand increase~~$2.85 million decrease in net interest income occurred because total interest income ~~increased $231 thousand~~declined $3.34 million while total interest expense declined ~~$728~~$493 thousand from the ~~second~~fourth quarter of 2012. For the purpose of this remaining discussion, net interest income is presented on a tax-equivalent basis to provide a comparison among all types of interest earning assets. The tax-equivalent basis adjusts for the tax-favored status of income from certain loans and investments. Although this is a non-GAAP measure, United’s management believes this measure is more widely used within the financial services industry and provides better comparability of net interest income arising from taxable and tax-exempt sources. United uses this measure to monitor net interest income performance and to manage its balance sheet composition.

Tax-equivalent net interest income for the first nine months of 2012 was $212.82 million, an increase of $19.23 million or 9.93% from the first nine months of 2011. This increase in tax-equivalent net interest income was primarily attributable to an increase in average earning assets from the Centra acquisition. Average earning assets increased $787.55 million or 11.79% from the first nine months of 2011. Average net loans increased $731.71 million or 13.38% for the first nine months of 2012. In addition, the average cost of funds declined 23 basis points from the first nine months of 2011. Partially offsetting the increases to tax-equivalent net interest income for the first nine months of 2012 was a decline of 27 basis points in the average yield on earning assets as compared to the first nine months of 2011. The net interest margin for the first nine months of 2012 was 3.80%, which was a decrease of 7 basis points from a net interest margin of 3.87% for the first nine months of 2011.

~~Tax-equivalent net interest income for the third~~ quarter of ~~2012~~2013 was ~~$71.57~~$68.35 million, a decrease of ~~$951 thousand~~$2.29 million or ~~1.31%~~3.24% from the ~~third~~first quarter of ~~2011~~2012 due mainly to a decrease in the average yield on earning assets. The ~~third~~first quarter of ~~2012~~2013 average yield on earning assets decreased 1319 basis points from the ~~third~~first quarter of ~~2011.~~2012. In particular, the yield on average net loans declined 41 basis points due to payoffs of higher yielding loans coupled with the re-investment of this cash inflow into new loans at significantly lower interest rates. In addition, average earning assets decreased ~~$90.48~~$138.51 million or ~~1.21%~~1.85% from the ~~third~~first quarter of ~~2011~~2012 as average short-term investments and average investment securities declined ~~$199.54~~$312.56 million and ~~$87.94~~$77.06 million, respectively. Average net loans did increase ~~$197.00~~$251.11 million or ~~3.23%~~4.08% for the ~~third~~first quarter of 2013 from the first quarter of 2012 ~~from the third quarter of 2011 partially offsetting~~to somewhat mitigate the decreases in average short-term investments and investment securities. Partially offsetting the decreases to tax-equivalent net interest income for the ~~third~~first quarter of ~~2012~~2013 was a decline of 1419 basis points in the average cost of funds as compared to the ~~third~~first quarter of ~~2011.~~2012. In particular, the average cost of long-term borrowings declined 152 basis points due mainly to the repayment of certain higher-cost long-term FHLB borrowings and junior subordinated debt. The net interest margin for the ~~third~~first quarter of ~~2012~~2013 was ~~3.87%~~3.75%, which ~~equaled the~~was a decrease of 3 basis points from a net interest margin of 3.78% for the ~~third~~first quarter of ~~2011.~~2012.

On a linked-quarter basis, United’s tax-equivalent net interest income for the ~~third~~first quarter of ~~2012 increased $951 thousand~~2013 decreased $2.96 million or ~~1.35%~~4.15% from the ~~second~~fourth quarter of 2012 due mainly to ~~increases~~a decrease in ~~average net loans and~~ the average yield on earning assets. ~~Average net loans increased $137.23 million or 2.23%.~~ The ~~third~~first quarter of ~~2012~~2013 average yield on earning assets ~~increased 7~~declined 9 basis points while the average cost of funds only decreased 32 basis points from the ~~second~~fourth quarter of 2012. ~~Overall, average~~Average earning assets ~~decreased $165.52~~were flat, decreasing $48.71 million or ~~2.20%~~less than 1% during the quarter. Average net loans and average investments were flat for the quarter as well. Average net loans increased $2.33 million while average investments increased $372 thousand. Average short-term investments ~~and average investment securities~~ decreased ~~$292.15~~$51.4 million ~~and $10.59 million, respectively.~~or 18.72% for the quarter. The net interest margin of ~~3.87%~~3.75% for the ~~third~~first quarter of ~~2012~~2013 was ~~an increase~~a decrease of 118 basis points from the net interest margin of ~~3.76%~~3.83% for the ~~second~~fourth quarter of 2012.

~~The provision for loan losses for the first nine months of 2012 and 2011 was $11.92 million and $12.87 million, respectively.~~ For the quarters ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2013 and 2012, ~~and 2011,~~ the provision for loan losses was ~~$4.35~~$5.19 million and ~~$3.64~~$4.13 million, respectively. Net charge-offs ~~for the first nine months of 2012~~ were ~~$12.04 million as compared to $12.40~~$4.93 million for the first ~~nine months of 2011. Net charge-offs were $4.01 million for the third~~ quarter of ~~2012~~2013 as compared to net charge-offs of ~~$3.26~~$4.00 million for the same quarter in ~~2011.~~2012. These higher amounts of provision expense and net charge-offs for 2013 compared to the first quarter of 2012 were due mainly to the recognition of losses previously identified within the allowance for loan losses while maintaining sufficient allowance for losses expected to be incurred through application of the loan loss methodology. On a linked-quarter basis, the provision for loans losses decreased $760 thousand while net charge-offs decreased $864 thousand from the fourth quarter of 2012. Annualized net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans were ~~0.26% and 0.25%~~0.31% for the first ~~nine months and third~~ quarter of ~~2012.~~2013. This ratio compares very favorably to United’s most recently reported Federal Reserve peer group’s net charge-offs to average loans percentage of ~~0.65%~~0.64% for the ~~second quarter~~year of 2012. ~~On a linked-quarter basis, United’s provision for loan losses increased $910 thousand while net charge-offs were flat from the second quarter of 2012.~~

At ~~September 30, 2012,~~March 31, 2013, nonperforming loans were ~~$98.43~~$87.42 million or ~~1.53%~~1.35% of loans, net of unearned income compared to nonperforming loans of ~~$79.66~~$92.80 million or ~~1.28%~~1.43% of loans, net of unearned income at December 31, ~~2011.~~2012. The components of nonperforming loans include: 1) nonaccrual loans, 2) loans which are contractually past due 90 days or more as to interest or principal, but have not been put on a nonaccrual basis and 3) loans whose terms have been restructured for economic or legal reasons due to financial difficulties of the borrowers.

Loans past due 90 days or more were ~~$12.48~~$8.30 million at ~~September 30, 2012,~~March 31, 2013, a decrease of ~~$3.70~~$9.77 million or ~~22.89%~~54.06% from ~~$16.18~~$18.07 million at year-end ~~2011.~~2012. The decrease in loans past due 90 days or more was primarily due to the ~~renewal~~transfer of several large ~~commercial~~ relationships ~~which were matured at year-end.~~to nonaccrual. At ~~September 30, 2012,~~March 31, 2013, nonaccrual loans were ~~$81.86~~$73.81 million, an increase of ~~$21.97~~$2.25 million or ~~36.68%~~3.15% from ~~$59.89~~$71.56 million at year-end ~~2011.~~2012. The increase in nonaccrual loans was primarily due to several offsetting factors. Nonaccrual loans increased due to the ~~deterioration in financial condition~~transfer of ~~two~~several large relationships delinquent in excess of 90 days or more into nonaccrual. This was offset by charge-offs recognized on several impaired nonaccrual relationships and foreclosure on several properties which ~~necessitated~~led to a transfer ~~of the relationships~~from nonaccrual to ~~nonaccrual status.~~other real estate owned. Restructured loans were ~~$4.09~~$5.31 million at ~~September 30, 2012~~March 31, 2013 as compared to ~~$3.59~~$3.17 million restructured loans at year-end ~~2011.~~2012. The increase of ~~$499 thousand~~$2.13 million was due to the restructure of atwo commercial ~~loan.~~real estate loans. The loss potential on these loans has been properly evaluated and allocated within the company’s allowance for loan losses.

Nonperforming assets include nonperforming loans and real estate acquired in foreclosure or other settlement of loans (OREO). Total nonperforming assets of ~~$148.47~~$136.27 million, including OREO of ~~$50.04~~$48.85 million at ~~September 30, 2012,~~March 31, 2013, represented ~~1.77%~~1.64% of total assets which compares favorably to United’s most recently reported Federal Reserve peer group banking companies’ (bank holding companies with total assets between $3 and $10 billion) percentage of ~~2.33%~~1.97% at ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2012.

Loans are designated as impaired when, in the opinion of management, the collection of principal and interest in accordance with the loan contract is doubtful. At ~~September 30, 2012,~~March 31, 2013, impaired loans were ~~$102.24~~$89.23 million, which was a decrease of ~~$25.80~~$6.16 million or ~~20.15%~~6.46% from the ~~$128.04~~$95.39 million in impaired loans at December 31, ~~2011.~~2012. This decrease in impaired loans was due mainly to decreased outstanding principal associated with impaired loans in the Company’s ~~non-owner occupied~~owner-occupied commercial real estate, residential real estate and construction and land development portfolios as a result of ~~repayment of principal through the sale of~~charge-offs associated ~~collateral combined~~ with ~~improved borrower collateral positions which led to reduction of impairments.~~several impaired relationships. The loss potential on these loans has been properly evaluated and allocated within the Company’s allowance for loan losses. For further details regarding impaired loans, see Note 5 to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

United maintains an allowance for loan losses and a reserve for lending-related commitments. The combined allowance for loan losses and reserve for lending-related commitments are referred to as the allowance for credit losses. At ~~September 30, 2012,~~March 31, 2013, the allowance for credit losses was ~~$75.54~~$76.04 million which was comparable to ~~$75.73~~$75.56 million at December 31, ~~2011.~~2012.

At ~~September 30, 2012,~~March 31, 2013, the allowance for loan losses was ~~$73.75~~$74.16 million as compared to ~~$73.87~~$73.90 million at December 31, ~~2011.~~2012. As a percentage of loans, net of unearned income, the allowance for loan losses was 1.15% at ~~September 30, 2012~~March 31, 2013 and ~~1.18% of loans, net of unearned income~~1.13% at December 31, ~~2011.~~2012. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans or coverage ratio was ~~74.93%~~84.83% and ~~92.73%~~79.63% at ~~September 30, 2012~~March 31, 2013 and December 31, ~~2011,~~2012, respectively. For United, this ratio at ~~September 30, 2012 decreased~~March 31, 2013 increased from the ratio at December 31, ~~2011~~2012 because nonperforming loans ~~increased $18.76~~decreased $5.38 million or ~~23.55%~~5.80% while the allowance for loan losses was relatively flat from year-end ~~2011, decreasing $126~~2012, increasing $257 thousand or less than 1%. Adjustments to risk grades within the allowance for loan loss analysis were based on delinquency and loss trends of such loans and ~~changes in qualitative risk factors within the allowance for loan loss analysis~~ resulted in increased allowance allocations of ~~$1.09 million~~$153 thousand or ~~1.53%~~less than 1%. ~~The increased allocations did not~~There also was an increase ~~the overall level of the reserve because of a decrease~~ in the estimate for imprecision of ~~$1.22 million. The decrease~~$104 thousand. This increase in allocations and estimate for imprecision coincided with the increase of net charge-offs recognized in the ~~estimate~~

~~for imprecision is attributable to refined methodology utilized by the Bank to fully allocate amounts reserved for losses inherent in the Bank’s portfolio.~~first quarter. The Company’s detailed methodology and analysis indicated only a slight decrease in the allowance for loan losses primarily ~~due to~~because of the offsetting factors of ~~the reduction in additional allocations to “watch-rated” loans~~changes within historical loss rates and increased loss allocations on impaired loans.

Allocations are made for specific commercial loans based upon management’s estimate of the borrowers’ ability to repay and other factors impacting collectibility. Other commercial loans not specifically reviewed on an individual basis are evaluated based on historical loss percentages applied to loan pools that have been segregated by risk. Allocations for loans other than commercial loans are made based upon historical loss experience adjusted for current environmental conditions. The allowance for credit losses includes estimated probable inherent but undetected losses within the portfolio due to uncertainties in economic conditions, delays in obtaining information, including unfavorable information about a borrower’s financial condition, 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 portion of the allowance accounts for the inherent imprecision in the ~~analysis of the~~ allowance for credit ~~losses.~~losses analysis.

United’s formal company-wide review of the allowance for loan losses at ~~September 30, 2012~~March 31, 2013 produced increased allocations in ~~three~~five of the six loan categories. The allowance allocated to ~~commercial~~ real estate ~~nonowner-occupied loans~~construction and development increased by ~~$1.12 million~~$766 thousand due to an increase in ~~historical loss rates and~~the allocation applied to watch-rated loans as well as an increase in outstanding loan ~~balances.~~balances within the portfolio. The allocation related to the residential real estate loan pool increased by ~~$887~~$608 thousand due to an increase in the allocation applied to watch-rated loans as well as an increase in historical loss rates. The consumer loan pool experienced an increase in allocation of $11 thousand due to an increase in historical loss rates. The other commercial loan pool allocation increased by $317 thousand due to an increase in specific allocations for impaired loans. The commercial real estate owner-occupied loan pool allocation increased by $207 thousand due to an increase in historical loss rates and ~~specific allocations for impaired~~allocation applied to watch-rated loans. ~~The consumer loan pool experienced an increase in allocation of $326 thousand due to an increase in historical loss rates and increased outstanding balances.~~ Offsetting these increases was a decrease in the ~~other~~ commercial real estate nonowner-occupied loan pool allocation of ~~$939 thousand~~$1.76 million driven by a combination of lower outstanding balances in classified loan segments and lower historical loss rates and a decrease in specific allocations for floorplan lending. The commercial real estate owner-occupied loan pool allocation experienced a decrease of $163 thousand and the real estate construction and development allocation decreased $145 thousand due to a change in methodology adopted by the Bank whereas the qualitative factors component is no longer applied to additional allocations within the allowance calculation.rates. In summary, the overall level of the allowance for loan losses was stable in comparison to year-end ~~2011~~2012 as a result of offsetting factors within the portfolio as described above.

An allowance is 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 Company 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 ~~$15.63~~$14.38 million at ~~September 30, 2012~~March 31, 2013 and ~~$11.16~~$14.20 million at December 31, ~~2011. Compared~~2012. In comparison to the prior year-end, this element of the allowance increased by ~~$4.47 million~~$182 thousand primarily due to increased specific allocations for the ~~nonowner-occupied commercial real estate,~~ other commercial loan ~~and real estate construction and development loan pools.~~pool.

An allowance is also recognized for imprecision inherent in loan loss migration models and other estimates of loss. There are many factors affecting the allowance for loan losses and reserve for lending-related commitments; some are

quantitative while others require qualitative judgment. Although management believes its methodology for determining the allowance adequately considers all of the potential factors to identify and quantify probable losses in the portfolio, the process includes subjective elements and is therefore susceptible to change. This estimate for imprecision has been established to recognize the variance, within a reasonable margin, of the loss estimation process. The estimate for imprecision ~~decreased~~increased at ~~September 30, 2012~~March 31, 2013 by ~~$1.22 million~~$104 thousand to ~~$1.36 million.~~$368 thousand. This estimate for imprecision represents ~~1.84%~~less than 1% of the Company’s total allowance for credit losses and in as much as this variance approximates a pre-determined narrow parameter, the methodology has confirmed that the Company’s allowance for credit losses is at an appropriate level.

Management believes that the allowance for credit losses of ~~$75.54~~$76.04 million at ~~September 30, 2012~~March 31, 2013 is adequate to provide for probable losses on existing loans and lending-related commitments based on information currently available. Note 6 to the accompanying unaudited Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements provides a progression of the allowance for loan losses by portfolio segment.

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 ~~established~~ 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, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Maryland and the District of Columbia. 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 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 $49.55 million~~ for the first ~~nine months~~quarter of ~~2012~~2013 was $18.35 million, which was an increase of ~~$10.58~~$2.02 million or ~~27.16%~~12.39% from the first ~~nine months of 2011.

Included in net losses on investment securities transactions for the third quarter of 2011 were before-tax, other-than-temporary impairment charges of $7.92 million on certain investment securities.2012. Excluding the results of ~~security transactions,~~the noncash, other-than-temporary impairment charges as well as net gains and losses from sales and calls of investment securities, noninterest income for the ~~third~~first quarter of ~~2012~~2013 would have increased ~~$367 thousand~~$1.26 million or ~~1.99%~~7.07% from the ~~third~~first quarter of ~~2011.~~2012. This increase for the first quarter of 2013 was due primarily to increases in income from bank-owned life insurance policies and mortgage banking activity.

For the third~~ quarter of 2012, revenue from trust and brokerage services increased $890 thousand or 27.13% from the prior year’s third quarter. Revenue from trust and brokerage services was $4.17 million for the third quarter of 2012 as compared to $3.28 million for the third quarter of 2011. The higher amounts of revenue in 2012 were due to increases in volume and the value of assets under management.2012.

~~Other income decreased $730 thousand or 26.82% for the first nine months of~~ 2012. This decrease in other income is due mainly to a decrease of $377 thousand from derivatives not in a hedging relationship as a result of a change in value. For the third quarter of 2012, other income decreased $586 thousand or 46.07% due mainly to a decrease of $201 thousand from derivatives not in a hedging relationship as a result of a change in value. Corresponding amounts of expense from derivatives not in a hedging relationship are included in other expense in the income statement.

On a linked-quarter basis, noninterest income for the ~~third~~first quarter of ~~2012 was flat~~2013 increased $1.60 million or 9.57% from the ~~second~~fourth quarter of 2012.

Excluding the results of the noncash, other-than-temporary impairment charges as well as net gains and losses from sales and calls of investment securities, noninterest income would have increased ~~$692~~$557 thousand or ~~3.82%~~3.01% on a linked-quarter basis due primarily to ~~increases in mortgage banking income due to increased production and sales~~an increase of ~~mortgage loans in the secondary market and~~$1.14 million in income from ~~trust and brokerage services~~bank-owned life insurance policies due ~~to increases~~the death benefit previously mentioned. Partially offsetting this increase was a decrease of $982 thousand in ~~volume and the value of assets under management.~~fees from deposit services.

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~~Noninterest expense for the first ~~nine months~~quarter of ~~2012, noninterest expense increased $21.36~~2013 was $48.25 million which was a decrease of $2.13 million or ~~15.94%~~4.01% from the first ~~nine months of 2011. This increase was mainly the result of the Centra merger. Noninterest expense increased $5.00 million or 10.22% for the third~~ quarter of ~~2012 compared to the same period in 2011. This increase was due mainly to the previously mentioned accrual of $3.3 million with respect to class actions against United Bank, Inc. of West Virginia.~~2012.

Employee compensation ~~increased $6.28 million or 13.39%~~ for the first ~~nine months~~quarter of ~~2012~~2013 decreased $1.30 million or 7.28% when compared to the first ~~nine months~~quarter of ~~2011.~~2012.

Bankcard processing expense for the first nine months and third quarter of 2012 increased $210 thousand or 28.04% and $68 thousand or 24.82%, respectively, from the first nine months and third quarter of 2011. The increase was due to a higher volume of transactions.

FDIC insurance expense for the first nine months and third quarter of 2012 decreased $2.43 million or 34.90% and $819 thousand or 35.49%, respectively, from the first nine months and third quarter of 2011. The decreases were due to lower premiums.

Other expense for the first nine months and third quarter of 2012 increased $8.57 million or 25.27% and $3.95 million or 31.36% from the first nine months and third quarter of 2011, respectively. These increases were due mainly to the previously mentioned accrual of $3.3 million with respect to class actions against United Bank, Inc. of West Virginia. The additional increase from the first nine months of 2011 was due mainly to higher general operating expenses as a result of the Centra merger. In particular, ATM expense for the first nine months of 2012 increased $1.53 million and consulting and legal expense increased $1.42 million from the first nine months of 2011. Other increases for the first nine months of 2012 included amortization expense on intangibles of $586 thousand, advertising expenses of $479 thousand, and office supplies of $493 thousand.

~~On a linked-quarter basis, noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2012 increased $2.62 million or 5.11% from the second~~ quarter of 2012. ~~This increase was due primarily to the litigation settlement accrual as well as an increase of $1.04 million in data processing expense~~The decrease related to the overlap of data processors and the conversion to a new ~~servicer.~~servicer in 2012.

On a linked-quarter basis, noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2013 decreased $1.02 million from the fourth quarter of 2012. Employee compensation expense declined $1.67 million due to lower commissions and incentives

while OREO expense decreased $638 thousand due to fewer reductions to fair value and losses on sales. Partially offsetting these ~~increases were~~ decreases was an increase of ~~$707 thousand and $552 thousand~~$1.10 million in employee ~~compensation~~benefits expense due mainly to higher pension costs and ~~benefits, respectively.~~payroll taxes.

~~Income~~For the first quarter of 2013, income tax expense was $10.16 million as compared to $9.89 million for the first ~~nine months~~quarter of 2012, ~~and 2011 was $28.89 million and $25.45 million, respectively. For the first nine months~~an increase of ~~2012 and 2011,~~$268 thousand or 2.71% due to higher earnings. United’s effective tax rate was approximately 32.00% ~~and 31.50%, respectively. Income taxes~~ for the ~~third quarter~~first three months of ~~2012 were $9.10 million as compared to $9.20 million for the third quarter of 2011. For the quarters ended September 30, 2012~~2013 and ~~2011, United’s effective tax rate was 32.00% and 31.50%, respectively.~~2012. For further details related to income taxes, see Note 15 of the unaudited Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained within this document.

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, ~~2011~~2012 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 ~~2011~~2012 in the specified contractual obligations disclosed in United’s ~~2011~~2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

As of ~~September 30, 2012,~~March 31, 2013, United recorded a liability for uncertain tax positions, including interest and penalties, of ~~$2.00~~$2.15 million in accordance with ASC topic 740. 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 in the ~~2011~~2012 Form 10-K report.

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 contracts are carried at fair value and not notional value on the consolidated balance sheet. Because the derivative contracts recorded on the balance sheet at ~~September 30, 2012~~March 31, 2013 do not present the amounts that may ultimately be paid under these contracts, they are excluded from the contractual obligations table in the ~~2011~~2012 Form 10-K report. 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 Note 10 to the unaudited Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

In the opinion of management, United maintains liquidity that is sufficient to satisfy its depositors’ requirements and the credit needs of its customers. Like all banks, United depends upon its ability to renew maturing deposits and other liabilities on a daily basis and to acquire new funds in a variety of markets. A significant source of funds available to United is “core deposits”. Core deposits include certain demand 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. ~~Short-term~~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’ 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 ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2012,~~March 31, 2013, cash of ~~$89.20~~$44.01 million was provided by operating activities due mainly to net income of ~~$61.39~~$21.58 million for the ~~first nine months of 2012.~~quarter. Net cash of ~~$153.35~~$18.27 million was ~~used in~~provided by investing activities which was primarily due to the net ~~loan growth~~repayment of ~~$203.88 million.~~$39.72 million in portfolio loans. Partially offsetting ~~the net cash used for loan growth~~this amount were net investment securities purchases of ~~$48.38 million over sales, calls and maturities of investment securities.~~$24.92 million. During the first ~~nine~~three months of ~~2012,~~2013, net cash of ~~$135.53~~$131.72 million was used in financing activities due primarily to ~~a decline of $62.29 million~~decreases in deposits ~~the net repayment~~ of ~~$55.30~~$70.10 million ~~in long-term FHLB advances~~ and short-term borrowings of $46.08 million. An additional use of cash for financing activities was the payment of cash dividends in the amount of ~~$46.75~~$15.59 million for the ~~first nine months of 2012. Partially offsetting these uses of cash in financing activities was cash provided by a growth in short-term borrowings of $33.72 million.~~quarter. The net effect of the cash flow activities was a decrease in cash and cash equivalents of ~~$199.68~~$69.43 million for the first ~~nine~~three months of ~~2012.~~2013.

United anticipates it can meet its obligations over the next 12 months and has no material commitments for capital expenditures. There are no known trends, demands, commitments, or events that will result in or that are reasonably likely to result in United’s liquidity increasing or decreasing in any material way. United also has 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 lines 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.

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 ~~13.75%~~13.82% at ~~September 30, 2012~~March 31, 2013 and ~~13.83%~~13.67% at December 31, ~~2011,~~2012, were both significantly higher than the minimum regulatory requirements. United’s Tier I capital and leverage ratios of ~~12.51%~~12.58% and ~~10.60%~~10.80%, respectively, at ~~September 30, 2012,~~March 31, 2013, are also well above regulatory minimum requirements.

Total shareholders’ equity was ~~$988.43 million~~$1.00 billion at ~~September 30, 2012,~~March 31, 2013, which ~~increased $19.59 million or 2.02%~~was relatively flat from December 31, ~~2011.~~2012, increasing $8.00 million or less than 1%. United’s equity to assets ratio was ~~11.79%~~12.03% at ~~September 30, 2012~~March 31, 2013 as compared to ~~11.46%~~11.78% at December 31, ~~2011.~~2012. The primary capital ratio, capital and reserves to total assets and reserves, was ~~12.58%~~12.83% at ~~September 30, 2012~~March 31, 2013 as compared to ~~12.25%~~12.57% at December 31, ~~2011.~~2012. United’s average equity to average asset ratio was ~~11.72%~~12.10% for the first ~~nine months~~quarter of ~~2012~~2013 as compared to ~~11.39% for~~11.60% the first ~~nine months~~quarter of ~~2011.~~2012. All of these financial measurements reflect a financially sound position.

During the ~~third~~first quarter of ~~2012,~~2013, United’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.31 per share. ~~Cash dividends were $0.93 per common share for the first nine months of 2012.~~ Total cash dividends declared were ~~$15.59 million for the third quarter of 2012 and $46.76~~$15.61 million for the first ~~nine months~~quarter of ~~2012 as compared~~2013 which was comparable to ~~$15.06~~dividends declared of $15.57 million ~~and $41.26 million, respectively,~~ for the ~~third~~first quarter ~~and first nine months~~ of ~~2011.~~2012.

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.

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.

The following table shows United’s estimated earnings sensitivity profile as of ~~September 30, 2012~~March 31, 2013 and December 31, ~~2011:~~2012:


	Percentage Change in Net Interest Income		Percentage Change in Net Interest Income
Change in Interest Rates (basis points)	September 30, 2012	December 31, 2011	March 31, 2013	December 31, 2012
+200	4.61%	8.61%	7.46%	7.93%
+100	1.17%	3.58%	3.37%	3.67%
-100	(0.06%)	(1.43%)	0.73%	(0.60%)

At ~~September 30, 2012,~~March 31, 2013, 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 ~~1.17%~~3.37% over one year as compared to an increase of ~~3.58%~~3.67% at December 31, ~~2011.~~2012. A 200 basis point immediate, sustained upward shock in the yield curve would increase net interest income by an estimated ~~4.61%~~7.46% over one year as of ~~September 30, 2012,~~March 31, 2013, as compared to an increase of ~~8.61%~~7.93% as of December 31, ~~2011.~~2012. A 100 basis point immediate, sustained downward shock in the yield curve would ~~decrease~~increase net interest income by an estimated ~~0.06%~~0.73% over one year as of ~~September 30, 2012~~March 31, 2013 as compared to a decrease of ~~1.43%~~0.60%, over one year as of December 31, ~~2011.~~2012. With the federal funds rate at 0.25% at ~~September 30, 2012~~March 31, 2013 and December 31, ~~2011,~~2012, management believed a 200 basis point immediate, sustained decline in rates was highly unlikely.

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 ASC topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.”

United previously sold residential mortgage loans in a securitization transaction and retained an interest-only strip, and lower-rated subordinated classes of asset-backed securities, all of which are subordinated interests in the securitized assets. United recognized the excess of all cash flows attributable to the subordinated interests using the effective yield method. However, because the carrying value of United’s subordinated interest has been zero since June 30, 2005, the difference between the cash flows associated with these underlying mortgages and amounts owed to third party investors has been recognized in interest income as cash is received by United over the remaining life of the loans. However, the securitization trust (the Trust) is subject to an adverse judgment arising from a class action suit. An order granting supplemental damages and entry of final judgment was entered March 5, 2010. Subsequent to the order, the Trust entered into a settlement with all members of the Settlement Class wherein the Trust agreed not to appeal the case and the plaintiffs agreed to accept reduced and limited damages in settlement and dismissal of their claims with prejudice. The settlement will be strictly paid from the residual cash flows from the Trust and not the Company. Because the future payments and prepayments of loans in the Trust cannot be predicted, United cannot currently determine the amounts, if any, of residual cash flows that will be received. During the first nine months of 2012, United received no cash on the retained interest in the securitization.

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. 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.

At ~~September 30, 2012,~~March 31, 2013, United’s mortgage related securities portfolio had an amortized cost of ~~$135~~$167 million, of which approximately ~~$65~~$34 million or ~~48%~~20% were fixed rate collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs). These fixed rate CMOs consisted primarily of planned amortization class (PACs), sequential-pay and accretion directed (VADMs) bonds having an average life of approximately ~~1.7~~2.5 years and a weighted average yield of ~~5.48%~~6.55%, under current projected prepayment assumptions. These securities are expected to have very little extension risk in a rising rate environment. Current models show that ~~with~~ an immediate, sustained upward shock of 300 basis points, the average life of these securities would only extend to ~~2.8~~3.6 years. The projected price decline of the fixed rate CMO portfolio in rates up 300 basis points would be ~~4.4%~~6.8%, less than the price decline of a 23 year treasury note. By comparison, the price decline of a 30-year current coupon mortgage backed security (MBS) for an immediate, sustained upward shock of 300 basis points would be approximately ~~be approximately 18%~~17%.

United had approximately ~~$31~~$27 million in 15-year mortgage backed securities with a projected yield of 4.80% and a projected average life of ~~2.8~~2.6 years as of ~~September 30, 2012.~~March 31, 2013. This portfolio consisted of seasoned 15-year mortgage paper with a weighted average loan age (WALA) of ~~7.3~~7.8 years and a weighted average maturity (WAM) of ~~7.3~~6.8 years.

United had approximately $4 million in 20-year mortgage backed securities with a projected yield of ~~4.83%~~4.85% and a projected average life of 2.8 years on ~~September 30, 2012.~~March 31, 2013. This portfolio consisted of seasoned 20-year mortgage paper with a weighted average loan age (WALA) of ~~9.6~~10.1 years and a weighted average maturity (WAM) of ~~9.8~~9.4 years.

United had approximately $6$5 million in 30-year mortgage backed securities with a projected yield of ~~6.59%~~6.74% and a projected average life of ~~3.8~~3.7 years on ~~September 30, 2012.~~March 31, 2013. This portfolio consisted of seasoned 30-year mortgage paper with a weighted average loan age (WALA) of ~~12.6~~14 years and a weighted average maturity (WAM) of ~~16.4~~14.7 years.

The remaining ~~20%~~59% of the mortgage related securities portfolio at ~~September 30, 2012,~~March 31, 2013, included adjustable rate securities (ARMs), balloon securities, and 10-year mortgage backed pass-through securities.

As of ~~September 30, 2012,~~March 31, 2013, 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 ~~September 30, 2012~~March 31, 2013 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 ~~September 30, 2012,~~March 31, 2013, or in other factors that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect United’s internal control over financial reporting.

On October 24, 2012, United Bankshares, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, United Bank, Inc. of West Virginia, agreed to settle two class actions. The class actions alleged that United Bank improperly posted, processed, and paid consumer checking account debit card transactions, which allegedly resulted in the assessment of improper overdraft fees. These cases are virtually identical to cases filed against more than 70 other United States banks over the last three years.

In the normal course of business, United and its subsidiaries are currently involved in various legal proceedings. Management is vigorously pursuing all its legal and factual defenses and, after consultation with legal counsel, believes that all such litigation will be resolved with no material effect on United’s financial position.

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, please refer to United’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2011~~2012 for disclosures with respect to United’s risk factors which could materially affect United’s business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing United. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to United or that United currently deems to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect United’s business, financial condition and/or operating results. There are no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in United’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2011.~~2012.

There have been no United equity securities ~~sales~~sold during the quarter ended ~~September 30, 2012~~March 31, 2013 that were not registered.
