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 ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014 and 2013 and for the three-month and six-month periods then ended have not been audited. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013 has been extracted from the audited financial statements included in United’s 2013 Annual Report to Shareholders. The accounting and reporting policies followed in the presentation of these financial statements are consistent with those applied in the preparation of the 2013 Annual Report of United on Form 10-K. To conform to the ~~2014~~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 June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-11, “Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860): Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures.” ASU 2014-11 modifies accounting for repurchase-to-maturity transactions and repurchase financing arrangements, as well as modifies required disclosures. Under ASU 2014-11, repurchase-to-maturity transactions, repurchase agreements executed as repurchase financings, and other typical repurchase agreements are accounted for as secured borrowings. ASU 2014-11 also eliminates off-balance-sheet accounting for transfers of financial assets with contemporaneous repurchase financings. ASU 2014-11 is effective for United on January 1, 2015, and is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operation.

In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-04, “Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure.” ASU 2014-04 clarifies when banks and similar institutions should reclassify mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate properties from the loan portfolio to other real estate owned (OREO). An entity can elect either a retrospective or a prospective transition method, and early adoption is permitted. ASU 2014-04 is effective for United on January 1, 2015, and is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operation.

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 was effective for United beginning January 1, 2014 and did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operation.

At the close of business on January 31, 2014 (Acquisition Date), United acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock of Virginia Commerce Bancorp, Inc. (Virginia Commerce), a Virginia corporation headquartered in Arlington, Virginia. The acquisition of Virginia Commerce significantly enhances United’s existing footprint in the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Statistical Area. The results of operations of Virginia Commerce are included in the consolidated results of operations from the date of acquisition.

At consummation, Virginia Commerce had assets of approximately $2.77 billion, loans of $2.10 billion and deposits of $2.02 billion. The transaction was accounted for under the purchase acquisition 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 $585.53 million, including common stock issued valued at $547.89 million, stock options exchanged valued at $4.37 million, $33.263 million paid in cash to redeem the warrant held by the U.S. Department of the Treasury (the Treasury) issued by Virginia Commerce in connection with the TARP Capital Purchase Program and $8 thousand paid in cash to holders of Virginia Commerce common stock and restricted stock in lieu of fractional shares of United common stock. The cash was funded by cash on hand. The repurchase price of the warrant was based on its fair market as agreed upon by United and the Treasury. As a result of the repurchase by United, the warrant has been canceled. The number of shares issued in the transaction was 18,330,347, which were valued based on the closing market price of $29.89 for United’s common shares on January 31, 2014. The preliminary purchase price has been allocated to the identifiable tangible and intangible assets resulting in preliminary additions to goodwill and core deposit intangibles of ~~$335.11~~$335.98 million and $17.14 million, respectively. The core deposit intangibles are expected to be amortized over ten years. 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 Virginia Commerce acquisition is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. As a result of the merger, United recorded a downward fair value adjustment of $90.39 million on the loans acquired from Virginia Commerce, a downward fair value adjustment of $1.71 million on certain other real estate owned properties, a premium on interest-bearing deposits of $6.01 million, a premium on term securities sold under agreements to repurchase of $3.70 million and a discount of $16.38 million 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 ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014, the premium on the interest-bearing deposits and the securities sold under agreements to repurchase has an estimated remaining life of ~~1.75~~1.5 years and ~~2.33~~2.08 years, respectively, while the discount on the junior subordinated debt securities has an estimated remaining life of ~~21.89~~21.64 years. United assumed approximately $109 thousand of liabilities to provide severance benefits to terminated

employees of Virginia Commerce which has no remaining balance as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014. The estimated fair values of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities, including identifiable intangible assets, are subject to refinement as additional information relative to closing date fair values becomes available. Any subsequent adjustments to the fair values of acquired assets and liabilities assumed, identifiable intangible assets, or other purchase accounting adjustments will result in adjustments to goodwill within the first 12 months following the date of acquisition.

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 Virginia Commerce’s previously established allowance for loan losses. As a result, standard industry coverage ratios with regard to the allowance for credit losses are less meaningful after the acquisition of Virginia Commerce.

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 Virginia Commerce 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 $405,109, $166,874, and $157,759, respectively.

The consideration paid for Virginia Commerce’s common equity and the amounts of acquired identifiable assets and liabilities assumed as of the Acquisition Date were as follows:

The operating results of United for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014 include operating results of acquired assets and assumed liabilities subsequent to the Acquisition Date. The operations of United’s metropolitan Washington D.C. geographic area, which primarily includes the acquired operations of Virginia Commerce, provided approximately ~~$23.28~~$50.41 million in total revenues, which represents net interest income plus other income, and approximately ~~$10.09~~$23.07 million in net income from the period from the Acquisition Date to ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014. These amounts are included in United’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014. Virginia Commerce’s results of operations prior to the Acquisition Date are not included in United’s consolidated financial statements.

The following table presents certain unaudited pro forma information for the results of operations for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014 and 2013, as if the Virginia Commerce merger had occurred on January 1, 2014 and 2013, respectively. These results combine the historical results of Virginia Commerce into United’s consolidated statement of income and, while certain adjustments were made for the estimated impact of certain fair valuation adjustments and other acquisition-related activity, they are not indicative of what would have occurred had the acquisition taken place on the indicated date nor are they intended to represent or be indicative of future results of operations. In particular, no adjustments have been made to eliminate the amount of Virginia Commerce’s provision for credit losses for 2014 and 2013 that may not have been necessary had the acquired loans been recorded at fair value as of the beginning of 2014 and 2013. Additionally, United expects to achieve operating cost savings and other business synergies as a result of the acquisition which are not reflected in the pro forma amounts.

At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014, gross unrealized losses on available for sale securities were ~~$33,442~~$27,043 on ~~186~~86 securities of a total

portfolio of ~~468~~454 available for sale securities. Securities in an unrealized loss position at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014 consisted primarily of pooled trust preferred collateralized debt obligations (Trup Cdos) and agency commercial mortgage-backed securities. The Trup Cdos relate mainly to securities of financial institutions. The agency commercial mortgage-backed securities relate mainly to income-producing multifamily properties and provide a guaranty of full and timely payments of principal and interest by either Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. In determining whether or not a security is other-than-temporarily impaired (OTTI), 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.

United’s agency mortgage-backed securities portfolio relates to securities issued by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Ginnie Mae. The total amortized cost of available for sale agency mortgage securities was ~~$785.17~~$784.16 million at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014. Of the ~~$785.17~~$784.16 million, ~~$262.44~~$264.39 million was related to agency commercial mortgage securities and ~~$522.73~~$519.77 million was related to agency residential mortgage securities. Each of the agency mortgage securities provides a guarantee of full and timely payments of principal and interest by the issuing agency. Based upon management’s analysis and judgment, it was determined that none of the agency mortgage-backed securities were other-than-temporarily impaired at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014.

United’s non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities portfolio relates to securities of various private label issuers. The Company has no exposure to real estate investment trusts (REITS) in its investment portfolio. The total amortized cost of available for sale non-agency residential mortgage securities was ~~$15.61~~$14.87 million at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014. Of the ~~$15.61~~$14.87 million, ~~$5.94~~$5.61 million was rated above investment grade and ~~$9.67~~$9.26 million was rated below investment grade. Approximately 46% of the portfolio includes collateral that was originated during the year of 2005 or before. The remaining 54% includes collateral that was originated in the years of 2006 and 2007. 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 quarterly 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 are forecasted by management after full evaluation of the underlying collateral including recent performance statistics. Therefore, based upon management’s analysis and judgment, there was no additional credit-related or noncredit-related other-than-temporary impairment recognized on the non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014.

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 ~~first~~second quarter of 2014, it was determined that none of the single issue securities were ~~other-than-~~

~~temporarily~~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 $632 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 ~~CCC~~B to a high of BBB. The amortized cost of available for sale single issue trust preferred securities as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014 consisted of ~~$3.49~~$2.99 million in split-rated bonds and ~~$10.74~~$10.75 million in below investment grade bonds. Of the ~~$10.74~~$10.75 million in below investment grade bonds, ~~$10.24~~$10.25 million was in an unrealized loss position for twelve months or longer as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014.

At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014, United determined that certain Trup Cdos were other-than-temporarily impaired. In order to determine how and when the Company recognizes OTTI, the Company first assesses its intentions regarding any sale of securities as well as the likelihood that it would be required to sell prior to recovery of the amortized cost. As a result of Section 619 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, commonly known as the Volcker Rule, the Company has determined that, as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014, it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell four of its Trup Cdos prior to recovery of the amortized cost. This is consistent with the determination made as of December 31, 2013, at which time the Company recognized credit-related other-than-temporary impairment of $2.33 million related to these four securities. ~~Of the~~None of these four securities ~~only one was~~were in an unrealized loss position as of March 31, 2014. The Company is required to mark this security to its fair value as of March 31, 2014, which resulted in credit-related other-than-temporary impairment of $36 thousand recognized in earnings during the first quarter ofJune 30, 2014. Excluding these four Trup Cdos, the Company has determined that it does not intend to sell any other pooled trust preferred security and that it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell such securities before recovery of their amortized cost.

To determine a net realizable value and assess whether other-than-temporary impairment existed on those securities which the Company is not more likely than not required to sell, 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. The Company discounts the security-specific cash flow projection at the security-specific interest rate and compares the present value to the amortized cost. 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, ~~in addition to the one Trup Cdo mentioned above,~~ management determined that an adverse change in cash flows had occurred for ~~certain~~one Trup ~~Cdos~~Cdo 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~~one Trup ~~Cdos were~~Cdo was determined to be other-than-temporarily impaired.

The total credit-related other-than-temporary impairment recognized in earnings for the ~~first~~second quarter of 2014 related to ~~these securities~~this security was ~~$639 thousand, compared to $834 thousand~~$421 thousand. There was no credit-related other-than-temporary impairment recognized in earnings for the ~~first~~second quarter of ~~2013.~~2013 related to these securities. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014, the balance of the noncredit-related other-than-temporary impairment recognized on United’s Trup Cdo portfolio was ~~$32.61~~$32.19 million as compared to $34.30 million at December 31, 2013. This decline is attributable to improvements in the overall fair values of these securities.

The amortized cost of available for sale Trup Cdos in as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014 consisted of ~~$5.52~~$4.81 million in investment grade bonds, $5.00 million in split-rated bonds and ~~$57.80~~$56.72 million in below investment grade bonds.

The following is a summary of the available for sale Trup Cdos as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014:

While a large difference remains between the fair value and amortized cost, the Company believes the remaining unrealized losses are related to the illiquid market for Trup Cdos rather than an adverse change in expected cash flows. The expected future cash flow substantiates the return of the remaining amortized cost of the security. The Company believes the following evidence supports the position that the remaining unrealized loss is related to the illiquid market for Trup Cdos:

Overall, the Company believes the lack of new issuances, illiquid secondary market, limited pool of buyers, below investment grade ratings, complex structures and high market discount rates are the key drivers of the remaining unrealized losses in the Company’s Trup Cdos and the robust expected cash flow analysis substantiates the return of the remaining amortized cost under ASC 320.

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 Trup Cdos in the table above range from a low of BBB to a high of AA+. The ratings of the split-rated Trup Cdos range from a low of BB+ to a high of Aa2, while the below investment grade Trup Cdos range from a low of D to a high of Ba1.

The Company has recognized cumulative credit-related other-than-temporary impairment of ~~$43.75~~$44.17 million on certain Trup Cdos since the third quarter of 2009.

On the Trup Cdos that have not been deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired, the collateralization ratios range from a low of ~~94.2%~~97.1% to a high of ~~226.1%~~246.6%, with a median of 134.7%, and a weighted average of ~~167.2%~~177.3%. 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 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.

Except for the debt securities that have already been deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired, management does not believe any other individual security with an unrealized loss as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014 is other-than-temporarily impaired. For these 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.

The amortized cost of United’s equity securities was ~~$3.45~~$3.12 million at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014. For equity securities, management 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 determined that no equity securities were other-than-temporarily impaired at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014. AsThese securities were in an unrealized gain position of ~~March 31, 2014, United has the ability and intent to hold these equity securities until a recovery of their fair value to~~$610 thousand at ~~least the cost basis of the investment.~~June 30, 2014.

During the ~~first~~second quarter of 2014, United also evaluated all of its cost method investments to determine if certain events or changes in circumstances during the ~~first~~second quarter of 2014 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 ~~first~~second 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.

Even though the market value of the held-to-maturity investment portfolio is less than its cost, the unrealized loss has no impact on the net worth or regulatory capital requirements of United. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014, the Company’s two largest held-to-maturity single-issue trust preferred exposures were to Wells Fargo ($9.90 million) and SunTrust Bank ($7.40 million). The two held-to-maturity single-issue trust preferred exposures with at least one rating below investment grade included SunTrust Bank ($7.40 million) and Royal Bank of Scotland ($~~972~~973 thousand). Other corporate securities consist mainly of bonds of corporations.

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 ~~$137,170~~$139,578 and $150,798 at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, 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 concession is granted and there is 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 ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014, United had TDRs of ~~$8,106~~$13,648 as compared to $8,157 as of December 31, 2013. Of the ~~$8,106~~$13,648 aggregate balance of TDRs at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014, ~~$844~~$827 was on nonaccrual status and included in the “Loans on Nonaccrual Status” on the following page. Of the $8,157 aggregate balance of TDRs at December 31, 2013, $861 was on nonaccrual status and included in the “Loans on Nonaccrual Status” on the following page. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014, there were no commitments to lend additional funds to debtors owing receivables whose terms have been modified in TDRs. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014, United had restructured loans in the amount of ~~$4,247~~$4,193 that were modified by a reduction in the interest rate, ~~$2,933~~$8,544 that were modified by a combination of a reduction in the interest rate and the principal and ~~$926~~$911 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, even if contractually past due (or if United does

not expect to receive payment in full based on the original contractual terms), as United is currently accreting interest income over the expected life of the loans. See Notes 2 and 4 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on these loans.

During the second quarter and first ~~quarter~~six months of ~~2013, $2,150~~2014, $5,630 of restructured loans were modified by a combination of a reduction in the interest rate and ~~change~~an extension of the maturity date. During the second quarter of 2013, $2,993 of restructured loans were modified by a combination of a reduction in ~~terms.~~the interest rate and an extension of the maturity date. In addition to these loans, the remaining $2,150 of loans restructured during the first six months of 2013 was modified by a reduction in the interest rate. In some instances, the post-modification balance on ~~the~~a restructured ~~loans~~loan is larger than the 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.

United assigns credit quality indicators of pass, special mention, substandard and 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 reviews and updates, as necessary, these grades on a quarterly basis.

Special mention loans, with a corporate credit exposure, 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 loans with a consumer credit exposure, 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. 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 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 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 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 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 ~~quarter~~six months of 2014, 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 ~~$2,126~~$2,441 and $2,143 at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, 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 ~~three months ended March 31, 2014~~periods indicated is summarized ~~as follows:~~on the following page.

United incurred amortization expense of ~~$809~~$1,104 and ~~$534~~$1,913 for the ~~quarters~~quarter and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014, respectively, and $506 and $1,040 for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2013, ~~respectively.~~

respectively, related to intangible assets. The following table sets forth the anticipated amortization expense for intangible assets for the years subsequent to 2013:

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 ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014, federal funds purchased were ~~$26,000~~$16,700 while securities sold under agreements to repurchase (REPOs) were ~~$581,357.~~$466,480. Included in the ~~$581,357~~$466,480 of total REPOs were wholesale REPOs of ~~$53,453,~~$53,083, including purchase accounting amounts, assumed in the Virginia Commerce merger. These wholesale REPOs are scheduled to mature in July of 2018. The securities sold under agreements to repurchase were accounted for as collateralized 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 ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014, United had no outstanding balance under this line of credit.

United’s subsidiary banks are members of the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB). Membership in the FHLB makes available short-term and long-term borrowings from collateralized advances. All FHLB borrowings are collateralized

by a mix of single-family residential mortgage loans, commercial loans and investment securities. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014, United had an unused borrowing amount of approximately ~~$1,343,248~~$2,272,863 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 ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014, ~~$756,404~~$861,337 of FHLB advances with a weighted-average interest rate of ~~0.50%~~0.47% are scheduled to mature within the next five years. Overnight funds of ~~$175,000~~$105,000 are included in the ~~$756,404~~$861,337 above at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014. The scheduled maturities of these FHLB borrowings are as follows:


Year	Amount		Amount
2014	$	700,892	$	705,883
2015		4,471		104,434
2016		671		663
2017		370		357

Total	$	756,404	$	861,337

At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014, United had a total of fifteen statutory business trusts that were formed for the purpose of issuing or participating in pools of trust preferred capital securities (Capital Securities) with the proceeds invested in junior subordinated debt securities (Debentures) of United. The Debentures, which are subordinate and junior in right of payment to all present and future senior indebtedness and certain other financial obligations of United, are the sole assets of the trusts and United’s payment under the Debentures is the sole source of revenue for the trusts. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014, and December 31, 2013, the outstanding balance of the Debentures was ~~$249,420~~$249,641 and $198,628, respectively, and was included in the category of long-term debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheets entitled “Other long-term borrowings.” The Capital Securities are not included as a component of shareholders’ equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. United fully and unconditionally guarantees each individual trust’s obligations under the Capital Securities.

Under the provisions of the subordinated debt, United has the right to defer payment of interest on the subordinated debt at any time, or from time to time, for periods not exceeding five years. If interest payments on the subordinated

debt are deferred, the dividends on the Capital Securities are also deferred. Interest on the subordinated debt is cumulative. United has not deferred any payment as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014.

As part of the acquisition of Virginia Commerce on January 31, 2014, United assumed all the obligations of Virginia Commerce and its subsidiaries. Virginia Commerce has a total of three statutory business trusts that were formed for the purpose of issuing or participating in Capital Securities with the proceeds invested in Debentures of Virginia Commerce. At merger, the outstanding balance of Virginia Commerce’s Debentures was $50,635, including purchase accounting adjustments.

The Trust Preferred Securities currently qualify as Tier 1 capital of 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 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 ~~$2,528,144~~$2,474,381 and $1,895,682 of loan commitments outstanding as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, 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,~~June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, United had no outstanding commercial letters of credit. 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 ~~$164,567~~$163,831 and $114,664 as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, 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 and the fees associated with these letters of credit are immaterial.

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 ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014, United has only fair value hedges.

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.

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.

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 ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014.

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. As part of management’s review, any items that exceed the scope of expected values are further investigated. 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 ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014, 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 ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014. 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 ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014 ranged from LIBOR plus 3.50% to LIBOR plus ~~17.00%~~16.00%. Management completed a

sensitivity analysis on the fair value of its ~~Trup Cdos.~~TRUP CDOs. Given a comprehensive 200 basis point increase in the discount rates, the total fair value of these securities would decline by approximately 18%, or ~~$8.1~~$8.6 million.

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 ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, 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

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 ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014. 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). For impaired loans, a specific reserve is established through the Allowance for Loan Losses, if necessary, by estimating the fair value of the underlying collateral 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. Other than those intangible assets recorded in the acquisition of Virginia Commerce, no fair value measurement of intangible assets was made during the first ~~quarter~~six months of 2014.

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. For acquired impaired loans, fair value is assumed to equal United’s carrying value, which represents the present value of expected future principal and interest cash flows, as adjusted for any Allowance for Loan Losses recorded for these loans.

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

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. 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 ~~quarter~~six months of 2014, a total of 204,800 non-qualified stock options and 66,949 shares of restricted stock were granted under the 2011 LTI Plan.

Compensation expense of ~~$490 thousand~~$670 and ~~$384 thousand~~$1,160 related to the nonvested awards under the 2011 LTI Plan and the 2006 Stock Option Plan was incurred for the second quarter and first ~~quarter~~six months of 2014, respectively, as compared to the compensation expense of $471 and $855 related to the nonvested awards under the 2006 Stock Option Plan incurred for the second quarter and first six months of 2013, 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 ~~2011 LTI~~2006 Stock Option 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 ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014, and the changes during the first ~~three~~six months of 2014 are presented below:

All shares issued in connection with stock option exercises were issued from available treasury stock for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014 and 2013. The total intrinsic value of options exercised under the Plans during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014 and 2013 was ~~$2.83 million~~$3,757 and ~~$43 thousand,~~$118, respectively.

Under the 2011 LTI Plan, United may award restricted common shares to key employees and non-employee directors. Restricted shares granted to participants have 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 period ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014:


	Number of Shares			Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Share		Number of Shares			Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Share

United has a defined benefit retirement plan covering ~~a majority~~some of ~~all~~its 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, including those retained in the Virginia Commerce acquisition, will 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.

Included in accumulated other comprehensive income at December 31, 2013 are the following amounts that have not yet been recognized in net periodic pension cost: unrecognized prior service costs of $2 ($1 net of tax) and unrecognized actuarial losses of $31,151 ($20,248 net of tax). The amortization of these items expected to be recognized in net periodic pension cost during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 is $1 ($1 net of tax), and $4,821 ($3,134 net of tax), respectively.

Net periodic pension cost for the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014 and 2013 included the following components:

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 ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014, United has provided a liability for ~~$2,803~~$2,848 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 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2012 and State Taxing authorities for the years ended December 31, 2009 through 2012.

As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014 and 2013, the total amount of accrued interest related to uncertain tax positions was ~~$484~~$512 and ~~$1,166,~~$398, 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 six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014 and 2013 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 fifteen 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.

Information related to United’s statutory trusts is presented in the table below:

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 is immaterial, however; these partnerships are not consolidated as United is not deemed to be the primary beneficiary.

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, involve 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; business conditions in the banking industry; 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.

On December 10, 2013, the banking agencies issued a final rule implementing Section 619 of the Dodd-Frank Act, commonly referred to as the “Volcker Rule”. The final rule requires banking entities to divest disallowed securities by July 21, 2015, unless, upon application, the Federal Reserve grants extensions to July 21, 2017. On January 14, 2014, the banking agencies approved an interim final rule to permit banking entities to retain interests in certain collateralized debt obligations backed primarily by trust preferred securities (Trup Cdos) from the prohibitions under the Volcker Rule.

On July 2, 2013, the Federal Reserve, United’s and its banking subsidiaries’ primary federal regulator, published final rules (the Basel III Capital Rules) establishing a new comprehensive capital framework for U.S. banking organizations. The rules implement the Basel Committee’s December 2010 framework known as “Basel III” for strengthening international capital standards as well as certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act. The Basel III Capital Rules substantially revise the risk-based capital requirements applicable to bank holding companies and depository

institutions, including United and its banking subsidiaries, compared to the current U.S. risk-based capital rules. The

Basel III Capital Rules define the components of capital and address other issues affecting the numerator in banking institutions’ regulatory capital ratios. The Basel III Capital Rules also address risk weights and other issues affecting the denominator in banking institutions’ regulatory capital ratios and replace the existing risk-weighting approach, which was derived from Basel I capital accords of the Basel Committee, with a more risk-sensitive approach based, in part, on

the standardized approach in the Basel Committee’s 2004 “Basel II” capital accords. The Basel III Capital Rules also implement the requirements of Section 939A of the Dodd-Frank Act to remove references to credit ratings from the federal banking agencies’ rules. The Basel III Capital Rules are effective for United and its banking subsidiaries on January 1, 2015 (subject to a phase-in period). Management believes that, as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014 United and its banking subsidiaries would meet all capital adequacy requirements under the Basel III Capital Rules on a fully phased-in basis if such requirements were currently effective.

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 ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014, but prior to the date these financial statements were issued, for potential recognition or disclosure required in these financial statements.

In addition, after the close of business on January 31, 2014, United acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock of Virginia Commerce Bancorp, Inc. (Virginia Commerce), a Virginia corporation headquartered in Arlington, Virginia. The results of operations of Virginia Commerce are included in the consolidated results of operations from the date of acquisition. The acquisition of Virginia Commerce enhances United’s existing footprint in the Washington, D.C. MSA. Virginia Commerce was merged with and into George Mason Bankshares, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of United (the Merger) in a transaction to be accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. At consummation, Virginia Commerce had assets of approximately $2.77 billion, loans of $2.10 billion, and deposits of $2.02 billion. In addition, on February 20, 2014, United sold a former branch building for approximately $11.1 million and recognized a before-tax gain of $8.98 million.

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

This discussion and analysis contains certain financial measures that are not recognized under GAAP. Under SEC Regulation G, public companies making disclosures containing financial measures that are not in accordance with GAAP must also disclose, along with each “non-GAAP” financial measure, certain additional information, including a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure to the closest comparable GAAP financial measure, as well as a statement of the company’s reasons for utilizing the non-GAAP financial measure.

Generally, United has presented these non-GAAP financial measures because it believes that these measures provide meaningful additional information to assist in the evaluation of United’s results of operations or financial position. Presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is consistent with how United’s management evaluates its performance internally and these non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in the banking industry. Specifically, this discussion contains certain references to financial measures identified as tax-equivalent net interest income and noninterest income 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. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures to be helpful

in understanding United’s results of operations or financial position. However, this non-GAAP information should be

considered supplemental in nature and not as a substitute for related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Where non-GAAP financial measures are used, the comparable GAAP financial measure, as well as reconciliation to that comparable GAAP financial measure, as well as a statement of the company’s reasons for utilizing the non-GAAP financial measure, can be found within this discussion and analysis. Investors should recognize that United’s presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures might not be comparable to similarly titled measures at other companies.

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, the allowance for loan losses represents management’s estimate of the probable credit losses inherent in the lending portfolio. Determining the allowance for loan losses requires management to make estimates of losses that are highly uncertain and require a high degree of judgment. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014, the allowance for loan losses was ~~$74.3~~$75.0 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~~$7.50 million in additional allowance (funded by additional provision for credit losses), which would have negatively impacted the first ~~quarter~~six months of 2014 net income by approximately ~~$4.8~~$4.87 million, after-tax or ~~$0.08~~$0.07 diluted per common share. Management’s evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses and the appropriate provision for loan losses is based upon a quarterly evaluation of the loan portfolio. 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 loan 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. The methodology used to determine the allowance for loan 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

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 as either held to maturity or available for sale and its equity securities as 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 trust preferred securities (Trup Cdos), 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.

Loans acquired are initially recorded at their acquisition date fair values. The fair value of the acquired loans are based on the present value of the expected cash flows, including ~~both~~ principal, ~~and~~ interest and prepayments. Periodic principal and interest cash flows are adjusted for expected losses and prepayments, then discounted to determine the present value and summed to arrive at the estimated fair value. Fair value estimates involve assumptions and judgments as to credit risk, interest rate risk, prepayment risk, liquidity risk, default rates, loss severity, payment speeds, collateral values and discount rate.

Acquired loans are 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. In the assessment of credit quality, numerous assumptions, interpretations and judgments must be made, based on internal and third-party credit quality information and ultimately the determination as to the probability that all contractual cash flows will not be able to be collected. This is a point in time assessment and inherently subjective due to the nature of the available information and judgment involved.

Subsequent to the acquisition date, United continues to estimate the amount and timing of cash flows expected to be collected on acquired impaired loans. Increases in expected cash flows will generally result in a recovery of any previously recorded allowance for loan losses, to the extent applicable, and/or a reclassification from the nonaccretable difference to accretable yield, which will be recognized prospectively. The present value of any decreases in expected cash flows after the acquisition date will generally result in an impairment charge recorded as a provision for loan losses, resulting in an increase to the allowance for loans ~~losses~~losses.

For acquired performing loans, the difference between the acquisition date fair value and the contractual amounts due at the acquisition date represents the fair value adjustment. Fair value adjustments may be discounts (or premiums) to a loan’s cost basis and are accreted (or amortized) to interest income over the the loan’s remaining life using the level yield method. Subsequent to the acquisition date, the methods utilized to estimate the required allowance for loan losses for these loans is similar to originated loans.

See Note 2, Merger and Acquisitions, and Note 4, Loans, to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding United’s acquired loans disclosures.

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.

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 ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014, approximately ~~11.23%~~10.13% of total assets, or ~~$1.33~~$1.22 billion, consisted of financial instruments recorded at fair value. Of this total, approximately ~~94.03%~~94.18% or ~~$1.25~~$1.15 billion of these financial instruments used valuation methodologies involving observable market data, collectively Level 1 and Level 2 measurements, to determine fair value. Approximately ~~5.97%~~5.82% or ~~$79.54~~$71.07 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 ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014, only ~~$1.03 million~~$852 thousand 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 ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014 were ~~$11.89~~$12.05 billion which was an increase of ~~$3.15~~$3.32 billion or ~~36.07%~~37.97% from December 31, 2013, primarily the result of the acquisition of Virginia Commerce Bancorp, Inc. (Virginia Commerce) after the close of business on January 31, 2014. Portfolio loans increased ~~$2.06~~$2.17 billion or ~~30.78%~~32.33%, cash and cash equivalents increased ~~$162.75~~$298.76 million or ~~39.06%~~71.71%, investment securities increased ~~$477.24~~$392.70 million or ~~53.66%~~44.16%, goodwill increased ~~$333.74~~$334.62 million or ~~88.87%~~89.10%, other assets increased ~~$96.88~~$104.17 million or ~~30.03%~~32.29%, bank premises and equipment increased ~~$8.12~~$8.42 million or ~~11.62%~~12.05% and interest receivable increased ~~$9.33~~$5.41 million or ~~34.99%~~20.29% due primarily to the Virginia Commerce merger. Total liabilities increased ~~$2.58~~$2.72 billion or ~~33.49%~~35.34% from year-end 2013. This increase in total liabilities was due mainly to an increase of ~~$1.96~~$2.12 billion or ~~29.61%~~32.09% and ~~$606.73~~$587.71 million or ~~60.28%~~58.39% in deposits and borrowings, respectively, mainly due to the Virginia Commerce acquisition. Shareholders’ equity increased ~~$574.39~~$597.55 million or ~~55.14%~~57.36% from year-end 2013 due primarily to the acquisition of Virginia Commerce.

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

Cash and cash equivalents at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014 increased ~~$162.75~~$298.76 million or ~~39.06%~~71.71% from year-end 2013. Of this total increase, interest-bearing deposits with other banks increased ~~$101.20~~$235.91 million or ~~36.00%~~83.93% as United placed excess cash in an interest-bearing account with the Federal Reserve. In addition, cash and due from banks increased ~~$61.55~~$62.85 million or ~~45.66%~~46.62% and federal funds sold were flat. During the first ~~three~~six months of 2014, net cash of ~~$35.29~~$57.52 million, ~~$64.28~~$51.00 million and ~~$63.18~~$190.24 million was provided by operating activities, investing activities, and financing activities, respectively. See the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for data on cash and cash equivalents provided and used in operating, investing and financing activities for the first ~~three~~six months of 2014 and 2013.

Total investment securities at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014 increased ~~$477.24~~$392.70 million or ~~53.66%~~44.16% from year-end 2013. Virginia Commerce added $476.54 million in investment securities, including purchase accounting amounts, upon consummation of the acquisition. Securities available for sale increased ~~$465.89~~$361.74 million or ~~60.09%~~46.66%. This change in securities available for sale reflects $461.76 million acquired from Virginia Commerce, ~~$259.61~~$435.06 million in sales, maturities and calls of securities, ~~$252.10~~$311.57 million in purchases, and an increase of ~~$11.23~~$23.76 million in market value. Securities held to maturity were flat, decreasing ~~$209~~$248 thousand or less than 1% from year-end 2013 due to calls and maturities of securities. Other investment securities increased ~~$11.56~~$31.21 million or ~~15.81%~~42.70% from year-end 2013. Virginia Commerce added $14.78 million in other investment securities. Otherwise, Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) stock increased $13.05 million and FHLB stock increased $3.62 million.

The following table summarizes the changes in the available for sale securities since year-end 2013:

At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014, gross unrealized losses on available for sale securities were ~~$33.44~~$27.04 million. Securities in an unrealized loss position at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014 consisted primarily of Trup Cdos and agency commercial mortgage-backed securities. The Trup Cdos relate mainly to underlying securities of financial institutions. The agency commercial mortgage-backed securities relate mainly to income-producing multifamily properties and provide a guaranty of full and timely payments of principal and interest by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac.

As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014, United’s mortgage-backed securities had an amortized cost of ~~$800.83~~$799.07 million, with an estimated fair value of ~~$797.31~~$803.72 million. The portfolio consisted primarily of ~~$522.77~~$519.81 million in agency residential mortgage-backed securities with a fair value of ~~$524.29~~$525.65 million, ~~$15.61~~$14.87 million in non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities with an estimated fair value of ~~$16.17~~$15.50 million, and ~~$262.44~~$264.39 million in commercial agency mortgage-backed securities with an estimated fair value of ~~$256.86~~$262.58 million. As of ~~March 31, 2104,~~June 30, 2014, United’s asset-backed securities had an amortized cost of ~~$8.68~~$8.06 million, with an estimated fair value of ~~$8.65~~$8.06 million.

As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014, United’s corporate securities had an amortized cost of ~~$110.92~~$108.31 million, with an estimated fair

value of ~~$84.29~~$84.75 million. The portfolio consisted primarily of ~~$68.32~~$66.53 million in Trup Cdos with a fair value of ~~$46.18~~$46.82 million and ~~$34.13~~$33.64 million in single issue trust preferred securities with an estimated fair value of ~~$28.83~~$28.99 million. The portfolio also included one other corporate security with an amortized cost of $5.00 million and an estimated fair value of $5.19 million. In addition to ~~the~~these trust preferred securities, the Company held positions in various other corporate securities, including marketable equity securities, with an amortized cost of ~~$8.47~~$3.12 million and a fair value of ~~$9.28 million, only one of which was individually significant.~~$3.73 million.

The Trup Cdos consisted of pools of trust preferred securities issued by trusts related primarily to 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 the Trup Cdos; however, the Company does not own any income notes. The senior and mezzanine tranches of Trup Cdos 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 have failed. Generally, senior tranches have the greatest protection, with mezzanine tranches subordinated to the senior tranches, and income notes subordinated to the mezzanine tranches. The fair value of senior tranches represents ~~$11.97~~$11.47 million of the Company’s pooled securities, while mezzanine tranches represent ~~$34.21~~$35.35 million. Of the ~~$34.21~~$35.35 million in mezzanine tranches, ~~$12.44~~$12.42 million are now in the Senior position as the Senior notes have been paid to a zero balance. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014, Trup Cdos with a fair value of ~~$5.78~~$5.24 million were investment grade, ~~$3.75~~$4.00 million were split-rated, and the remaining ~~$36.65~~$37.58 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 ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014, United’s single issue trust preferred securities had a fair value of ~~$28.83~~$28.99 million. Of the ~~$28.83~~$28.99 million, ~~$8.91~~$9.30 million or ~~30.89%~~32.08% were investment grade; $632 thousand or ~~2.19%~~2.18% were unrated; ~~$7.80~~$7.47 million or ~~27.07%~~25.75% were split rated; and ~~$11.49~~$11.59 million or ~~39.85%~~39.99% were below investment grade. The two largest exposures accounted for ~~49.80%~~51.45% of the ~~$28.83~~$28.99 million. These included Wells Fargo at ~~$8.30~~$8.60 million and SunTrust Bank at ~~$6.06~~$6.31 million. All single-issue trust preferred securities, with the exception of two securities totaling $632 thousand, are currently receiving full scheduled principal and interest payments.

The following two tables provide a summary of Trup Cdos with at least one rating below investment grade as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014:

The Company defines “Excess Subordination” as all outstanding collateral less the sum of (i) 100% of the defaulted collateral, (ii) the sum of the projected net loss amounts for each piece of the deferring but not defaulted collateral and (iii) the amount of each Trup Cdo’s debt that is either senior to or pari passu with our security’s priority level.

The calculation of excess subordination in the above table does not consider the OTTI the Company has recognized on these securities. While the ratio of excess subordination provides some insight on overall collateralization levels, the Company completes an expected cash flow analysis each quarter to determine whether an adverse change in future cash flows has occurred under ASC 320. The standard specifies that a cash flow projection can be present-valued at the security specific effective interest rate and the resulting present value compared to the amortized cost in order to quantify the credit component of impairment. The Company utilizes the cash flow models to determine the net realizable value and assess whether additional OTTI has occurred.

While the ratio of excess subordination provides some insight on overall collateralization levels, the Company does not utilize this ratio to calculate OTTI. The ratio of excess subordination represents only one component of the projected cash flow. The Company believes the excess subordination is limited as it does not consider the following:

The collateral backing of a particular tranche can be increased by decreasing the more senior liabilities of the Trup Cdo tranche. This occurs when collateral deterioration due to defaults and deferrals triggers alternative waterfall provisions of the cash flow. The waterfall structure of the bond requires the excess spread to be rerouted away from the most junior classes of debt (which includes the income notes) in order to pay down the principal of the most senior liabilities. As these senior liabilities are paid down, the senior and mezzanine tranches become better secured (due to the rerouting away from the income notes). Therefore, variances will exist between the calculated excess subordination measure and the amount of OTTI recognized due to the impact of the specific structural features of each bond as it relates to the cash flow models.

Additionally, the Company owns two single-issue trust preferred securities that are classified as held-to-maturity and include at least one rating below investment grade. These securities include SunTrust Bank ($~~7.40~~6.31 million) and Royal Bank of Scotland ($~~972~~638 thousand).

During the first six months and second quarter of 2014, United recognized net other-than-temporary impairment charges totaling ~~$639~~$1.06 million and $421 thousand, respectively, on certain Trup Cdos, 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 ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014 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.

Loans held for sale ~~decreased $671 thousand~~increased $5.23 million or ~~15.84%~~123.47% as loan ~~sales~~originations in the secondary market exceeded loan ~~originations~~sales during the first ~~three~~six months of 2014. Portfolio loans, net of unearned income, increased ~~$2.06~~$2.17 billion or ~~30.78%~~32.33% from year-end 2013 mainly as a result of the Virginia Commerce acquisition which added $2.01 billion, including purchase accounting amounts, in portfolio loans. Since year-end 2013, commercial, financial and agricultural loans increased ~~$1.38~~$1.44 billion or ~~35.24%~~36.76% as commercial real estate loans increased ~~$1.14~~$1.18 billion and commercial loans (not secured by real estate) increased ~~$234.68~~$257.78 million. In addition, residential real estate loans and construction and land development loans increased ~~$356.41~~$383.50 million or ~~19.57%~~21.06% and ~~$320.61~~$321.14 million or ~~47.83%~~47.91%, respectively, while other consumer loans increased ~~$12.50~~$30.50 million or ~~4.02%~~10.17%. The increases were due primarily to the Virginia Commerce acquisition. Otherwise, portfolio loans, net of unearned income, grew organically ~~$54.42~~$161.66 million from year-end 2013.

Other assets increased ~~$96.88~~$104.17 million or ~~30.03%~~32.29% from year-end 2013. The Virginia Commerce acquisition added $106.24 million in other assets plus an additional $17.14 million in core deposit intangibles. The cash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance policies increased ~~$46.77~~$48.04 million, of which, $46.72 million was acquired from Virginia Commerce while the remaining increase was due to a slight increase in the cash surrender value. The remainder of the increase in other assets is the result of an increase of ~~$21.76~~$15.87 million in deferred tax assets, an increase of ~~$5.61~~$5.1 million in OREO and an increase of ~~$2.69~~$17.29 million in income taxes receivable.

Deposits represent United’s primary source of funding. Total deposits at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014 increased ~~$1.96~~$2.12 billion or ~~29.61%~~32.09% from year-end 2013 as a result of the Virginia Commerce acquisition. Virginia Commerce added $2.02 billion in deposits, including purchase accounting amounts. In terms of composition, noninterest-bearing deposits increased ~~$482.67~~$591.71 million or ~~25.75%~~31.57% while interest-bearing deposits increased ~~$1.48~~$1.53 billion or ~~31.13%~~32.29% from December 31, 2013. Organically, deposits ~~declined $63.65~~increased $101.89 million from year-end 2013.

The increase in noninterest-bearing deposits was due mainly to increases in commercial noninterest-bearing deposits of ~~$365.14~~$474.47 million or ~~26.72%~~34.72%, personal noninterest-bearing deposits of ~~$70.45~~$60.57 million or ~~17.12%~~14.72% and noninterest-bearing public funds of ~~$12.25~~$10.55 million or ~~22.71%~~19.55% as a result of the Virginia Commerce acquisition.

The increase in interest-bearing deposits was due mainly to the Virginia Commerce acquisition as all major categories of interest-bearing deposits increased. Interest-bearing money market accounts (MMDAs) increased ~~$548.96~~$706.39 million or ~~44.85%~~57.71%, time deposits over $100,000 increased ~~$276.96~~$190.87 million or ~~31.36%~~21.61%, time deposits under $100,000 increased ~~$190.79~~$149.20 million or ~~21.50%~~16.81%, and regular savings balances increased ~~$68.90~~$82.50 million or ~~12.39%~~14.83%. The ~~$548.96~~$706.39 million increase in interest-bearing MMDAs is due to a ~~$374.15~~$348.56 million and a ~~$175.03~~$357.76 million increase in personal MMDAs and commercial MMDAs, respectively. Public funds MMDAs, on the other hand, were flat. The ~~$276.96~~$190.87 million increase in time deposits over $100,000 is the result of a ~~$219.38~~$165.59 million increase in fixed rate certificates of deposits (CDs), ~~a $43.17~~an $11.71 million increase in Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service (CDARS) balances and a ~~$14.38~~$14.39 million increase in variable rate CDs.

Accrued expenses and other liabilities at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014 increased ~~$9.56~~$6.25 million or ~~15.06%~~9.86% from year-end 2013. Virginia Commerce added ~~$10.26~~$11.13 million. In particular, ~~business franchise taxes increased $1.48 million,~~ interest payable increased ~~$1.27~~$1.22 million and other accrued expenses ~~of $3.04~~increased $1.77 million. In addition, dividends payable increased ~~$5.95~~$5.99 million due to the additional shares issued in the Virginia Commerce acquisition. Partially offsetting these increases in accrued expenses and other liabilities is a ~~$1.10~~$1.21 million decrease in ~~accrued employee expenses due mainly to declines in deferred compensation and incentives payable and an $874 thousand decrease in income~~other taxes payable due to a timing difference in payments.

Shareholders’ equity at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014 increased ~~$574.39~~$597.55 million or ~~55.14%~~57.36% from December 31, 2013 mainly as a result of the Virginia Commerce acquisition. The Virginia Commerce transaction added approximately $552 million as 18,330,347 shares were issued from United’s authorized but unissued shares for the merger at a cost of approximately $548 million. Earnings net of dividends for the first ~~three~~six months of 2014 were ~~$8.04~~$19.16 million.

Accumulated other comprehensive income increased ~~$8.71~~$17.43 million due mainly to an increase of ~~$7.30~~$15.44 million in United’s available for sale investment portfolio, net of deferred income taxes.

Net income for the second quarter of 2014 was $33.25 million or $0.48 per diluted share, as compared to ~~$21.58~~$22.22 million or ~~$0.43~~$0.44 per diluted share for the ~~first three months of 2013.~~prior year second quarter. United’s annualized return on average assets for the first ~~three~~six months of 2014 was 1.14% and return on average shareholders’ equity was ~~8.57%~~8.36% as compared to ~~1.05%~~1.06% and ~~8.72%~~8.76% for the first ~~three~~six months of 2013. For the second quarter of 2014, United’s annualized return on average assets was 1.13% and return on average shareholders’ equity was 8.16% as compared to 1.07% and 8.81% for the second quarter of 2013. As previously mentioned, United completed its acquisition of Virginia Commerce after the close of business on January 31, 2014. The financial results of Virginia Commerce are included in United’s results from the acquisition date.

~~As previously mentioned, during the first quarter of 2014 United sold a former branch building which resulted in a before-tax gain of $8.98 million.~~

The results for the first half and second quarter of 2014 ~~also~~ included noncash, before-tax, other-than-temporary impairment charges of ~~$639~~$1.06 million and $421 thousand, respectively, on certain investment ~~securities and a net gain on sales and calls of~~

The results of the first half of 2014 also included a before-tax gain of $8.98 million from the sale of a former branch building during the first quarter of 2014.

Net interest income for the first ~~three months~~half of 2014 was ~~$85.30~~$179.23 million, ~~which was~~ an increase of ~~$18.48~~$46.21 million or ~~27.66%~~34.74% from ~~net interest income of $66.82 million for~~ the prior year’s first ~~three months of 2013.~~six months. The increase in net interest income occurred because total interest income increased ~~$18.84~~$48.15 million while total interest expense only increased ~~$359 thousand~~$1.94 million from the first six months of 2013. Net interest income for the second quarter of 2014 was $93.93 million, an increase of $27.73 million or 41.88% from prior year’s second quarter. The increase in net interest income occurred because total interest income increased $29.31 million while total interest expense only increased $1.59 million from the second quarter of 2013.

The provision for ~~loan~~credit losses was ~~$4.68~~$10.88 million and $6.20 million for the first ~~three~~six months and second quarter of 2014, respectively, as compared to ~~$5.19~~$10.15 million and $4.96 million for the first ~~three~~six months and second quarter of 2013, respectively. Noninterest income for the first six months of 2014 was $45.66 million which was an increase of $8.21 million or 21.92% from the first six months of 2013. ~~Noninterest~~For the second quarter of 2014, noninterest income was ~~$26.52~~$19.14 million, which was relatively flat from the second quarter of 2013. Included in the results for the first ~~three~~six months of 2014 ~~up $8.17~~was the gain on the sale of the former branch building. Included in noninterest income for 2014 and 2013 were the previously mentioned other-than-temporary impairment charges on investment securities. For the first six months of 2014, noninterest expense increased $21.61 million or ~~44.54% when compared to~~22.32% from the first ~~three~~six months of 2013. ~~Noninterest~~For the second quarter of 2014, noninterest expense increased ~~$12.91~~$8.70 million or ~~26.76% for~~17.91% from the second quarter of 2013.

For the first ~~three~~six months of 2014 ~~compared to the same period in 2013. Income taxes increased $5.71~~and 2013, income tax expense was $32.24 million ~~for the first three months of 2014 as compared to the first three months of 2013.~~and $19.73 million, respectively. The effective tax rate ~~was 34.49% and 32.00%~~ for the first ~~quarter~~six months of 2014 and 2013 was 33.72% and 31.06%, respectively. Income taxes for the second quarter of 2014 were $16.38 million as compared to $9.58 million for the second quarter of 2013. For the quarters ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, United’s effective tax rate was 33.00% and 30.12%, respectively.

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 2014 and 2013, are presented below.

Net interest income for the first ~~three~~six months of 2014 was ~~$85.30~~$179.23 million, which was an increase of ~~$18.48~~$46.21 million or ~~27.66%~~34.74% from the first ~~quarter~~half of 2013. The ~~$18.48~~$46.21 million increase in net interest income occurred because total interest income increased ~~$18.84~~$48.15 million while total interest expense only increased ~~$359 thousand~~$1.94 million from the first six months of 2013. Net interest income for the second quarter of 2014 was $93.93 million, which was an increase of $27.73 million or 41.88% from the second quarter of 2013. The $27.73 million increase in net interest income occurred because total interest income increased $29.31 million while total interest expense only increased $1.59 million from the second quarter of 2013. On a linked-quarter basis, net interest income for the ~~first~~second quarter of 2014 increased ~~$16.12~~$8.63 million or ~~23.29%~~10.12% from the ~~fourth~~first quarter of ~~2013.~~2014. The ~~$16.12~~$8.63 million increase in net interest income occurred because total interest income increased ~~$17.53~~$9.64 million while total interest expense only increased ~~$1.41~~$1.01 million from the ~~fourth~~first quarter of ~~2013.~~2014. Generally, interest income for the first six months and second quarter of 2014 increased from the first six months and ~~fourth quarters~~

second quarter of 2013 because of the earning assets added from the Virginia Commerce acquisition. Likewise, interest expense for the first six months and second quarter of 2014 increased from the first six months and ~~fourth quarters~~second quarter of 2013 because of the interest-bearing liabilities added from Virginia Commerce. However, the increase in interest expense was partially mitigated by the accretion of fair value premiums recorded on the interest-bearing deposits and long-term securities sold under agreements to repurchase acquired from Virginia Commerce. 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 ~~quarter~~half of 2014 was ~~$86.91~~$182.45 million, an increase of ~~$18.56~~$46.39 million or ~~27.16%~~34.10% from the first ~~quarter~~half of 2013. This increase in tax-equivalent net interest income was primarily attributable to an increase in average earning assets from the Virginia Commerce acquisition. Average earning assets increased ~~$2.12~~$2.54 billion or ~~28.85%~~34.31% from the first ~~quarter~~half of 2013. Average net loans increased ~~$1.58~~$1.93 billion or ~~24.70%~~30.14% for the first ~~quarter~~half of 2014 while average investment securities increased ~~$473.82~~$499.26 million or ~~64.15%~~66.28%. In addition, the average cost of funds declined 1413 basis points from the first ~~quarter~~half of 2013. In particular, the average cost of long-term borrowings declined ~~175~~171 basis points due mainly to the repayment of certain higher-cost long-term FHLB borrowings. Partially offsetting the increases to tax-equivalent net interest income for the first ~~quarter~~half of 2014 was a decline of 159 basis points in the average yield on earning assets as compared to the first ~~quarter~~half of 2013. In particular, the yield on average net loans declined 116 basis points due to payoffs of higher yielding loans coupled with the re-investment of this cash inflow into new loans at lower interest rates. The net interest margin for the first ~~quarter~~half of 2014 was 3.70%, which was a ~~decrease~~flat from the first half of 52013.

Tax-equivalent net interest income for the second quarter of 2014 was $95.54 million, an increase of $27.83 million or 41.09% from the second quarter of 2013. This increase in tax-equivalent net interest income was primarily attributable to an increase in average earning assets from the Virginia Commerce acquisition. Average earning assets increased $2.95 billion or 39.65% from the second quarter of 2013. Average net loans increased $2.28 billion or 35.49% for the second quarter of 2014 while average investment securities increased $524.43 million or 68.31%. In addition, the average cost of funds declined 11 basis points from the second quarter of 2013. In particular, the average cost of long-term borrowings declined 166 basis points due mainly to the repayment of certain higher-cost long-term FHLB borrowings. Partially offsetting the increases to tax-equivalent net interest income for the second quarter of 2014 was a decline of 4 basis points in the average yield on earning assets as compared to the second quarter of 2013. The net interest margin for the second quarter of 2014 was 3.69%, which was an increase of 4 basis points from a net interest margin of ~~3.75%~~3.65% for the ~~first~~second quarter of 2013.

On a linked-quarter basis, United’s tax-equivalent net interest income for the ~~first~~second quarter of 2014 increased ~~$16.25~~$8.63 million or ~~23.00%~~9.93% from the ~~fourth~~first quarter of ~~2013~~2014 due mainly to an increase in average earning assets as a result of the Virginia Commerce ~~acquisition.~~acquisition included for the entire quarter. Average earning assets increased ~~$1.82 billion~~$894.04 million or ~~23.72%~~9.43% from the ~~fourth~~first quarter of ~~2013~~2014 as average investment securities and average net loans increased ~~$365.38~~$79.70 million or ~~43.14%~~6.57% and ~~$1.40 billion~~$727.40 million or ~~21.34%~~9.12%, respectively, for the quarter. ~~In addition, the~~The average yield on earning assets ~~increased 3~~decreased 2 basis points while the average cost of funds ~~declined 3 basis points~~was flat from the ~~fourth~~first quarter of ~~2013.~~2014. The net interest margin of 3.69% for the second quarter of 2014 was a decrease of a basis point from the net interest margin of 3.70% for the first quarter of ~~2014 was an increase of 4 basis points from the net interest margin of 3.66% for the fourth quarter of 2013.~~2014.

United’s tax-equivalent net interest income also includes the impact of acquisition accounting fair value adjustments.

The provision for loan losses for the first six months of 2014 and 2013 was $10.88 million and $10.15 million, respectively. For the quarters ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014 and 2013, the provision for loan losses was ~~$4.68~~$6.20 million and ~~$5.19~~$4.96 million, respectively. Net charge-offs for the first six months of 2014 were ~~$4.54~~$10.10 million as compared to $9.47 million for the first six months of 2013. Net charge-offs were $5.56 million for the second quarter of 2014 as compared to net charge-offs of ~~$4.93~~$4.54 million for the same quarter in 2013. These ~~lower~~higher amounts of provision expense and net charge-offs for ~~the first quarter of~~ 2014 compared to ~~the first quarter of~~ 2013 were due mainly to ~~credit quality improvement within~~ the ~~loan portfolio~~downgrade and impairment recognition on a ~~decline~~significant relationship for United in the ~~recognition of impairment allocations.~~oil and gas exploration industry. On a linked-quarter basis, the provision for

loans losses increased ~~$336 thousand~~$1.52 million while net charge-offs ~~decreased $177 thousand~~increased $1.03 million from the ~~fourth~~first quarter of ~~2013.~~2014. Annualized net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans were ~~0.23%~~0.24% and 0.25% for the first six months and second quarter of ~~2014. This ratio compares very~~2014, respectively. These ratios compare favorably to United’s most recently reported Federal Reserve peer group banking companies’ (bank holding companies with total assets over $10 billion) net charge-offs to average loans percentage of ~~0.45%~~0.33% for the ~~year~~first quarter of ~~2013.~~2014.

At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014, nonperforming loans were ~~$96.13~~$87.22 million or ~~1.10%~~0.98% of loans, net of unearned income compared to nonperforming loans of $81.13 million or 1.21% of loans, net of unearned income at December 31, 2013. 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 ~~$27.81~~$18.42 million at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014, an increase of ~~$16.77~~$7.38 million or ~~151.83%~~66.76% from $11.04 million at year-end 2013. The increase was due mainly to ~~four loans to one~~an increase in delinquent commercial ~~customer totaling $10.1 million being 90-plus days delinquent at March 31, 2014.~~and industrial loans. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014, nonaccrual loans were ~~$60.21~~$55.15 million, a decrease of ~~$1.72~~$6.78 million or ~~2.78%~~10.94% from $61.93 million at year-end 2013. The ~~slight~~ decrease in nonaccrual loans was primarily due to ~~foreclosures on~~repayment of several nonaccrual loans through refinance outside of the bank and sale of real estate ~~collateral which led to a transfer from nonaccrual to other real estate owned.~~collateral. Restructured loans were ~~$8.11~~$13.65 million at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014 as compared to $8.16 million restructured loans at year-end 2013. The ~~decrease~~increase was due mainly to ~~repayments. No~~two troubled loans ~~were~~to a commercial customer in the amount of $5.63 million being restructured during the first ~~quarter~~six months of 2014. 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 ~~$139.92~~$130.45 million, including OREO of ~~$43.79~~$43.23 million at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014, represented ~~1.18%~~1.08% of total assets.

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 ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014, impaired loans were ~~$255.30~~$248.74 million, which was an increase of ~~$162.64~~$156.08 million or ~~175.53%~~168.45% from the $92.66 million in impaired loans at December 31, 2013. This increase in impaired loans was due mainly to loans with evidence of credit quality deterioration in the amount of $157.76 million added in the Virginia Commerce acquisition. ~~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 ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014, the allowance for credit losses was ~~$76.46~~$77.42 million which was comparable to $76.34 million at December 31, 2013.

At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014, the allowance for loan losses was ~~$74.34~~$74.98 million as compared to $74.20 million at December 31, 2013. As a percentage of loans, net of unearned income, the allowance for loan losses was 0.85% at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014 and 1.11% at December 31, 2013. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans or coverage ratio was ~~77.33%~~85.97% and 91.46% at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. For United, this ratio at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014 decreased from the ratio at December 31, 2013 mainly because United was unable to carry-over Virginia Commerce’s previously established allowance for loan losses because acquired loans are recorded at fair value in accordance with accounting rules. Therefore, United

recorded a downward fair value adjustment of approximately $90.4 million on the loans acquired from Virginia Commerce. In addition, nonperforming loans increased ~~$15.00~~$6.09 million or ~~18.48%~~7.50% while the allowance for loan losses ~~was relatively flat~~only increased $777 thousand or 1.05% from year-end 2013. Adjustments to risk grades within the allowance for loan loss analysis were based on delinquency and loss trends of such loans and resulted in ~~decreased~~increased allowance allocations of ~~$62~~$721 thousand or less than 1%. This ~~decrease~~increase in allocations coincided with the ~~decrease~~increase of net charge-offs recognized in the ~~first~~second quarter. There was also an increase in the estimate for imprecision of ~~$202~~$56 thousand. The Company’s detailed methodology and analysis indicated ~~only~~ a ~~slight~~minimal increase in the allowance for

loan losses primarily because of the offsetting factors of changes within historical loss rates and reduced 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 unidentified 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 credit losses analysis.

United’s formal company-wide review of the allowance for loan losses at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014 produced decreased allocations in ~~five~~four of the six loan categories. The commercial real estate owner-occupied loan pool allocation decreased by ~~$187 thousand~~$1.84 million due mainly to a decrease in ~~specific impairments recognized~~criticized loans within the portfolio. The commercial real estate nonowner-occupied loan pool allocation decreased ~~$718~~$956 thousand due to a decline in specific impairments recognized within the portfolio. The allocation related to the residential real estate loan pool decreased by ~~$810 thousand~~$1.91 million due to a decrease in historical loss rates applied to the portfolio in addition to a decrease in specific impairments within the portfolio. The allowance allocated to real estate construction and development decreased by ~~$1.37 million~~$633 thousand due to decreases in ~~specific impairments within the portfolio and~~ historical loss rates applied to the ~~portfolio. The consumer loan pool experienced~~portfolio as well as the elimination of an additional allocation for a ~~decrease in allocation of $49 thousand due to a decrease in outstanding loan balances.~~specific loan. Offsetting these decreases was an increase in the other commercial loan pool allocation of ~~$3.07~~$5.86 million due to an increase in impairment recognition, an increase in classified loans within the portfolio and higher historical loss rates as the result of a large charge-off in the fourth quarter of 2013. The consumer loan pool experienced an increase of $201 thousand due to an increase in historical loss rates applied to the portfolio. In summary, the overall level of the allowance for loan losses was relatively stable in comparison to year-end 2013 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 ~~$11.82~~$12.26 million at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014 and $12.48 million at December 31, 2013. In comparison to the prior year-end, this element of the allowance decreased by ~~$660~~$214 thousand ~~primarily~~ due to offsetting factors of increased specific allocations for other commercial loans and decreased specific allocations for the nonowner-occupied commercial real estate and the ~~construction and land development~~residential real estate loan pools.

Management believes that the allowance for credit losses of ~~$76.46~~$77.42 million at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014 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 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 $45.66 million for the first six months of 2014 which was an increase of $8.21 million or 21.92% from the first six months of 2013. For the second quarter of 2014, noninterest income was $19.14 million, which was relatively flat from the second quarter of 2013.

Included in noninterest income for the first ~~quarter~~half of 2014 was the previously mentioned net gain of $8.98 million on the sale of bank premises as well as noncash, before-tax, other-than-temporary impairment charges of ~~$639 thousand~~$1.06 million on certain investment securities as compared to noncash, before-tax other-than-temporary impairment charges of ~~$834~~$971 thousand on certain investment securities for the first ~~quarter~~half of 2013. In addition, net gains on sales and calls of investment securities were ~~$824~~$825 thousand and ~~$140~~$488 thousand for the first ~~quarters~~half of 2014 and 2013, respectively. Excluding the net gain on the sale of bank premises, 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 first half of 2014 decreased $1.02 million or 2.68% from the first half of 2013. For the second quarter of 2014, ~~decreased $1.68 million~~net losses on investment securities transactions were $420 thousand as compared to net gains of $211 thousand for the second quarter of 2013. Included in net losses on investment securities transactions for the second quarter of 2014 were before-tax other-than-temporary impairment charges of $421 thousand on certain investment securities. Included in net losses on investment securities transactions for the second quarter of 2013 were before-tax other-than-temporary impairment charges of $137 thousand on certain investment securities. Excluding the results of security transactions, noninterest income for the second quarter of 2014 would have increased $667 thousand or ~~8.84%~~3.53% from the ~~first~~second quarter of 2013. Although excluding the net gain on the sale of bank premises and the results of security transactions is a non-GAAP measure, United’s management believes noninterest income without the net gain on the sale of bank premises and noncash, before-tax, other-than-temporary impairment charges as well as net securities gains and losses on ~~sale~~sales and calls is more indicative of United’s performance because it isolates income that is primarily customer relationship driven and is more indicative of normalized operations. In addition, these items can fluctuate greatly from quarter to quarter or could be infrequent and are thus difficult to predict.

The following table reconciles the difference between noninterest income and noninterest income excluding the results of security ~~transaction~~transactions for the three months ended June 30, 2014, June 30, 2013, and March 31, 2014 ~~March 31, 2013,~~ and ~~December 31,~~the six months ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013.

Revenue from trust income and brokerage commissions for the first half and second quarter of 2014 increased ~~$763~~$1.03 million or 12.61% and $271 thousand or ~~19.92%~~6.20%, respectively, due mainly to an increase in brokerage volume and an increase in the value of trust assets under management. Revenue from trust and brokerage services was ~~$4.59~~$9.23 million and $4.64 million for the first half and second quarter of 2014, respectively, as compared to $8.20 million and $4.37 million for the first half and second quarter of 2013, respectively.

Fees from deposit services for the first six months of 2014 were $20.46 million, an increase of $629 thousand or 3.17% from the first six months of 2013. In particular, debit card and ATM income increased $560 thousand and $399 thousand, respectively, during the first six months of 2014. Partially offsetting these increases was a decrease in overdraft fees of $405 thousand for the first six months of 2014. For the second quarter of 2014, fees from deposit services were $10.90 million, an increase of $694 thousand or 6.80% from the second quarter of 2013. In particular, debit card and ATM income increased $424 thousand and $144 thousand, respectively.

Income from bank-owned life insurance decreased $878 thousand or 24.57% for the first six months as compared to the first six months of 2013. The decrease was due to proceeds received from large death benefits in the first quarter of 2013. Income from bank-owned life insurance increased $260 thousand or 21.94% for the second quarter of 2014 as compared to ~~$3.83 million for~~ the ~~first~~second quarter of 2013.

~~Income from bank-owned life insurance policies was $1.25 million for the first quarter of 2014, a decrease of $1.14 million or 47.63% from the first quarter of 2013. This decrease~~ The increase was due to proceeds received from a death benefit in the ~~first~~second quarter of ~~2013.~~2014.

Mortgage banking income decreased $1.01 million or 59.10% and $301 thousand or 40.73% for the first six months and second quarter of 2014 ~~decreased $706 thousand or 73.16%~~ from the ~~first quarter of 2013~~same periods in 2013. These decreases were due primarily to decreased ~~production and~~mortgage loan sales ~~of mortgage loans~~ in the secondary market. Mortgage loan sales were ~~$16.65~~$22.17 million in the first ~~three~~six months of 2014 as compared to ~~$53.60~~$96.53 million in the first ~~three~~six months of 2013. Mortgage loan sales were $5.52 million in the second quarter of 2014 as compared to $42.93 million in the second quarter of 2013.

Other income decreased $813 thousand or 46.80% for the first ~~quarter~~six months of ~~2014 decreased $352 thousand or 40.18% from the first quarter of 2013.~~2014. This decrease ~~was~~in other income is due mainly to a ~~decline in the income~~decrease of $690 thousand from derivatives not in ~~hedge relationships~~a hedging relationship as a result of a change in value. For the ~~fair~~second quarter of 2014, other income decreased $461 thousand or 53.54% due mainly to a decrease of $361 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 ~~first~~second quarter of 2014 ~~increased $14.47~~decreased $7.39 million from ~~the fourth quarter of 2013. Included in the results for~~ the first quarter of 2014 ~~was~~which included the previously mentioned net gain of $8.98 million on the sale of bank ~~premises and noncash, before-tax, other-than-temporary impairment charges of $639 thousand.~~premises. Included in the results for the ~~fourth~~second quarter and first quarter of ~~2013~~2014 were noncash, before-tax, other-than-temporary impairment charges of ~~$6.36 million.~~$421 thousand and $639 thousand, respectively. Excluding ~~the results of~~ the net gain on the sale of bank premises, the noncash, other-than-temporary impairment charges as well as net gains and losses from sales and calls of investment securities, noninterest income ~~was flat from the fourth quarter of 2013, decreasing $114 thousand~~increased $2.20 million or ~~less than 1%~~12.65% on a linked-quarter basis due primarily to ~~a decrease~~an increase of ~~$513 thousand~~$1.34 million in fees from deposit services ~~which was virtually offset by an increase~~as a result of ~~$352 thousand in income from trust and brokerage services due to~~ increases in ~~brokerage volume~~overdraft fees and ~~the value~~debit card income. Several other sources of ~~trust assets under management.~~noninterest income increased, none of which were individually significant.

Just as management continues to evaluate areas where noninterest income can be enhanced, it strives to improve the efficiency of its operations to reduce costs. Other expenses include all items of expense other than interest expense, the provision for loan losses, and income taxes. For the first six months of 2014, noninterest expense increased $21.61 million or 22.32% from the first six months of 2013. Noninterest expense increased $8.70 million or 17.91% for the second quarter of 2014 compared to the same period in 2013. These increases are mainly due to the Virginia Commerce acquisition in the first quarter of ~~2014 was $61.16 million which was an increase of $12.91 million or 26.76% from the first quarter of 2013 due mainly to the Virginia Commerce acquisition.~~2014.

Employee compensation increased $12.99 million or 38.71% for the first ~~quarter~~six months of 2014 ~~increased $8.40 million or 50.61%~~ when compared to the first six months of 2013. Included in employee compensation for the first six months of 2014 were merger severance charges of $3.64 million. Employee compensation for the second quarter of ~~2013, including $3.64~~2014 increased $4.59 million or 27.06% from the second quarter of ~~merger severance charges. Other than the severance charges, this increase was~~2013. The increases were due mainly to the additional employees from the Virginia Commerce acquisition.

Employee benefits expense for the first six months of 2014 decreased ~~$369~~$854 thousand or ~~6.16%~~7.32% as compared to the first six months of 2013. Employee benefits expense for the second quarter of 2014 decreased $485 thousand or 8.55% from the ~~first~~second quarter of ~~2013 due mainly a decrease in~~2013. Specifically within employee benefits expense, pension expense decreased $2.79 million and $1.38 million for the first six months and second quarter of 2014, respectively, from the same periods last year as a result of a change in the discount rate used in the valuation process at year-end 2013 which more than offset the additional expense from the increased number of employees from the Virginia Commerce acquisition. FICA expense increased $715 thousand and $345 thousand for the first six months and second quarter of 2014, respectively, as compared to the same periods last year. Health insurance costs increased $907 thousand and $403 thousand for the first six months and second quarter of 2014, respectively, from the first six months and second quarter of 2013.

Net occupancy expense for the first six months and second quarter of 2014 increased ~~$1.24~~$2.94 million or ~~23.96%~~29.33% and $1.69 million or 35.12%, respectively, from the first six months and second quarter of 2013. In particular, building rental expense increased ~~$788~~$1.76 million and $976 thousand for the first six months and second quarter of 2014, respectively. In addition, building maintenance ~~increased $199 thousand~~ and building depreciation increased ~~$123~~$467 thousand and $310 thousand for the first six months of 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $268 thousand and $187 thousand for the second quarter of 2014 and 2013, respectively. These increases were due mainly to the additional offices acquired from Virginia Commerce.

Other real estate owned (OREO) expense ~~was $2.11 million~~ for the first six months and second quarter of 2014 ~~an increase of $843~~decreased $450 thousand or ~~66.38%~~12.50% and $1.29 million or 55.49%, respectively, from the first six months and second quarter of ~~2013. This increase was mainly due~~2013 as reductions to ~~a decline~~fair value and maintenance on properties declined from the same time periods in ~~the fair values of OREO properties in the first quarter of 2014.~~2013.

Equipment expense ~~was $1.90 million~~ for the first six months of 2014 increased $732 thousand or 21.47% from the first six months of 2013. Equipment expense for the second quarter of 2014 ~~an increase of $202~~increased $530 thousand or ~~11.89%~~30.98% from the ~~first~~second quarter of 2013. The ~~increase was~~increases were due mainly to ~~an increase~~increases in equipment maintenance and depreciation as a result of the Virginia Commerce acquisition.

Data processing expense increased ~~$506~~$1.28 million or 23.12% and $776 thousand or ~~18.53%~~27.59% for the first six months and second quarter of 2014, respectively, as compared to the ~~first quarter of 2013~~same periods in prior year due to the additional processing as a result of the Virginia Commerce acquisition.

Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance expense for the first six months and second quarter of 2014 increased $455 thousand or 14.57% and $507 thousand or 32.42%, respectively, from the first six months and second

quarter of 2013. These increases were due to a higher assessment base as a result of the Virginia Commerce acquisition.

Other expense for the first six months and second quarter of 2014 increased $4.50 million or 17.83% and $2.36 million or 19.14% from the first six months and second quarter of 2013, respectively. Generally, these increases were due mainly to an increase in general operating expenses as a result of the Virginia Commerce acquisition. In particular, business franchise taxes for the first six months and second quarter of 2014 increased $1.30 million and $741 thousand, respectively, from the same time periods last year. Other increases for the first six months and second quarter of 2014 included ATM processing expenses of $831 thousand and $668 thousand and amortization on core deposit intangibles of $873 thousand and $597 thousand.

On a linked-quarter basis, noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2014 decreased $3.92 million or 6.40% from the first quarter of ~~2014 increased $13.18~~2014. This decrease was due primarily to a decrease of $3.46 million ~~or 27.48%~~in employee compensation from the ~~fourth~~first quarter ~~of 2013 generally due to additional operating and merger-related expenses from~~which included the ~~Virginia Commerce acquisition. In particular, employee compensation expense increased $7.76 million. The increase includes the~~$3.64 million of merger severance charges mentioned above, increases in net occupancy expense of $1.56 million, merger expenses of $1.06 million and data processing fees of $267 thousand mainly the result of the Virginia Commerce acquisition.charges. In addition, OREO expense ~~increased $807 thousand~~declined $1.08 million due mainly to ~~a decline~~fewer reductions in the fair values of OREO properties. Partially offsetting these decreases was an increase of $564 thousand in FDIC insurance expense due to the deposits acquired from Virginia Commerce.

Income tax expense for the first half of 2014 and 2013 was $32.24 million and $19.73 million, respectively. For the first ~~quarter~~half of 2014 ~~income tax expense was $15.86 million as compared to $10.16 million for the first quarter of~~and 2013, an increase of $5.71 million or 56.18% due to higher earnings. In addition, United increased its current tax expense by $685 thousand due to an adjustment in the deferred tax rate. On a linked-quarter basis, income tax expense was $9.25 million for the fourth quarter of 2013. United’s effective tax rate was ~~approximately 34.49%~~33.72% and 31.06%, respectively. Income taxes for the second quarter of 2014 were $16.38 million as compared to $9.58 million for the second quarter of 2013. For the quarters ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, United’s effective tax rate was 33.00% and 30.12%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the first ~~quarter of 2014 as compared to 32.00% for the first and fourth quarters of 2013. The effective tax rate~~six months was increased by 1% as a direct result of the Virginia Commerce acquisition. The remaining increase was due to the adjustment in the deferred tax rate related to a reduction in the State of West Virginia corporate income tax rate as well as a change in apportionment factors. Going forward, United expects its effective tax rate to be 33% on future earnings in 2014. 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, 2013 for disclosures with respect to United’s fixed and determinable contractual obligations. As previously mentioned, United completed its acquisition of Virginia Commerce during the first quarter of 2014. As such, United assumed the financial obligations of Virginia Commerce, including contractual obligations and commitments, which also may require future payments. Otherwise, there have been no material changes outside the ordinary course of business since year-end 2013 in the specified contractual obligations disclosed in United’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014, United recorded a liability for uncertain tax positions, including interest and penalties, of ~~$2.80~~$2.85 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 2013 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 ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014 do not

present the amounts that may ultimately be paid under these contracts, they are excluded from the contractual obligations table in the 2013 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 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 ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014, cash of ~~$35.29~~$57.52 million was provided by operating activities due mainly to net income of ~~$30.12~~$63.37 million for the ~~quarter.~~first six months of 2014. Net cash of ~~$64.28~~$51.00 million was provided by investing activities which was primarily due to net proceeds of $108.06 million from the sales, calls, redemptions and maturities of investment securities over purchases. In addition, net cash ~~received~~ of $97.30 million was received in the Virginia Commerce acquisition. ~~In addition, net proceeds from sales of bank premises and equipment were $9.68 million.~~ Partially offsetting these sources of cash was loan growth of ~~$54.42~~$161.66 million. During the first ~~three~~six months of 2014, net cash of ~~$63.18~~$190.24 million was provided by

financing activities due primarily to net proceeds of ~~$104.34~~$279.27 million ~~and $34.33 million received~~ from long-term FHLB borrowings and ~~short-term borrowings, respectively.~~growth of $101.89 million in deposits. Partially offsetting

these increases was a decrease in ~~deposits~~short-term borrowings of ~~$63.65~~$159.47 million. An additional use of cash for financing activities was the payment of cash dividends in the amount of ~~$16.14~~$38.22 million for the ~~quarter.~~first six months of 2014. The net effect of the cash flow activities was an increase in cash and cash equivalents of ~~$162.75~~$298.76 million for the first ~~three~~six months of 2014.

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 ~~13.33%~~13.46% at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014 and 13.71% at December 31, 2013, were both significantly higher than the minimum regulatory requirements. United’s Tier I capital and leverage ratios of ~~12.42%~~12.54% and ~~11.60%~~10.64%, respectively, at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014, are also well above regulatory minimum requirements. United’s Tier I capital and leverage ratios at December 31, 2013 were 12.51% and 10.72%, respectively.

Total shareholders’ equity was ~~$1.62~~$1.64 billion at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014, increasing ~~$574.39~~$597.55 million or ~~55.14%~~57.36% from December 31, 2013 primarily due to the Virginia Commerce acquisition and the retention of earnings. United’s equity to assets ratio was 13.60% at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014 as compared to 11.93% at December 31, 2013. The primary capital ratio, capital and reserves to total assets and reserves, was 14.15% at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014 as compared to 12.69% at December 31, 2013. United’s average equity to average asset ratio was ~~13.30%~~13.59% for the first ~~quarter~~half of 2014 as compared to 12.10% for the first ~~quarter~~half of 2013. All of these financial measurements reflect a financially sound position.

During the ~~first~~second quarter of 2014, United’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.32 per share. Cash dividends were $0.64 per common share for the first six months of 2014. Total cash dividends declared were ~~$22.09~~$22.13 million for the second quarter of 2014 and $44.22 million for the first ~~quarter~~six months of 2014 ~~which was an increase of $6.48 million or 41.53% from dividends declared of~~as compared to $15.61 million and $31.22 million, respectively, for the second quarter and first ~~quarter~~six months of 2013. The increase was due mainly to the additional shares issued in the Virginia Commerce acquisition as well as anthe increase ~~of $0.01 per share~~ in the cash dividend ~~amount.~~amount per share.

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~~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 managing interest rate risk 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 ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013:


	Percentage Change in Net Interest Income		Percentage Change in Net Interest Income
Change in Interest Rates (basis points)	March 31, 2014	December 31, 2013	June 30, 2014	December 31, 2013
+200	0.17%	2.01%	0.33%	2.01%
+100	(0.39%)	0.21%	(0.25%)	0.21%
-100	0.91%	(0.80%)	1.19%	(0.80%)

At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014, 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 decrease by ~~0.39%~~0.25% over one year as compared to an increase of 0.21% at December 31, 2013. A 200 basis point immediate, sustained upward shock in the yield curve would increase net interest income by an estimated ~~0.17%~~0.33% over one year as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014, as compared to an increase of 2.01% as of December 31, 2013. A 100 basis point immediate, sustained downward shock in the yield curve would increase net interest income by an estimated ~~0.91%~~1.19% over one year as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014 as compared to a decrease of 0.80%, over one year as of December 31, 2013. With the federal funds rate at 0.25% at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, 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.”

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 ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014, United’s mortgage related securities portfolio had an amortized cost of ~~$801~~$799 million, of which approximately ~~$444~~$441 million or 55% 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 ~~4.8~~4.5 years and a weighted average yield of ~~2.71%~~2.68%, under current projected prepayment assumptions. These securities are expected to have very little extension risk in a rising rate environment. Current models show that an immediate, sustained upward shock of 300 basis points, the average life of these securities would only extend to ~~5.8~~5.6 years. The projected price decline of the fixed rate CMO portfolio in rates up 300 basis points would be ~~13.6%~~13.1%, less than the price decline of a 75 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 16.9%.

United had approximately ~~$243~~$245 million in balloon securities with a projected yield of ~~2.01%~~1.94% and a projected average life of 65.8 years on ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014. This portfolio consisted primarily of Fannie Mae Delegated Underwriting and Servicing (DUS) mortgage backed securities (MBS) with a weighted average loan age (WALA) of ~~1.1~~1.4 years and a weighted average maturity (WAM) of ~~6.5~~6.2 years.

United had approximately ~~$22~~$21 million in 15-year mortgage backed securities with a projected yield of ~~4.13%~~4.09% and a projected average life of ~~2.8~~2.7 years as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014. This portfolio consisted of seasoned 15-year mortgage paper with a weighted average loan age (WALA) of 77.2 years and a weighted average maturity (WAM) of ~~7.7~~7.5 years.

United had approximately ~~$48~~$47 million in 20-year mortgage backed securities with a projected yield of ~~2.91%~~2.88% and a

projected average life of ~~5.9~~5.5 years on ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014. This portfolio consisted of seasoned 20-year mortgage paper with a weighted average loan age (WALA) of ~~2.2~~2.3 years and a weighted average maturity (WAM) of ~~17.7~~17.4 years.

United had approximately ~~$16~~$19 million in 30-year mortgage backed securities with a projected yield of ~~3.30%~~3.22% and a projected average life of ~~5.1~~5 years on ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014. This portfolio consisted of seasoned 30-year mortgage paper with a weighted average loan age (WALA) of ~~7.7~~6.1 years and a weighted average maturity (WAM) of ~~21.6~~23.2 years.

The remaining 3% of the mortgage related securities portfolio at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014, included adjustable rate securities (ARMs), 10-year mortgage backed pass-through securities and other fixed rate mortgage backed securities.

As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014, an evaluation was performed under the supervision of and with the participation of United’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of United’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, United’s management, including the CEO and CFO, concluded that United’s disclosure controls and procedures as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014 were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period required by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. There have been no changes in United’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014, or in other factors that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect United’s internal control over financial reporting.

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, 2013 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, 2013.

There have been no United equity securities ~~sold~~sales during the quarter ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014 that were not registered. The table below includes certain information regarding United’s purchase of its common shares during the quarter ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014:

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
