UNITED BANKSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
1.    GENERAL
 
The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements of United Bankshares, Inc. and Subsidiaries (“United”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information 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 generally accepted accounting principles. The financial statements presented as of June 30, 2002 and 2001 and the three month periods then ended have not been audited. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2001 has been extracted from the audited financial statements included in United’s 2001 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 2001 Annual Report of United Bankshares, Inc. on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and results of operations for the interim periods have been made. Such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature.
 
The accompanying consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of United and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. United considers all of its principal business activities to be bank related. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. Dollars are in thousands, except per share and share data.

The table above does not include loans held for sale of $284,230 and $368,625 at June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively.
 
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 associates. 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 $160,293 and $107,305 at June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively.
 
4.    ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
 
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 loan 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. The amounts allocated to specific credits and loan pools grouped by similar risk characteristics are reviewed on a quarterly basis and adjusted as necessary based upon subsequent changes in circumstances. In determining the components of the allowance for 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. Loans deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance for loan losses, while recoveries of previously charged-off amounts are credited to the allowance for loan losses.

The average recorded investment in impaired loans during the quarter ended June 30, 2002 and for the year ended December 31, 2001 was approximately $11,767 and $12,654, respectively. For the quarters ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, United recognized interest income on the impaired loans of approximately $55 and $59, respectively, substantially all of which was recognized using the accrual method of income recognition.
 
At June 30, 2002, the recorded investment in loans that are considered to be impaired was $11,416 (of which $7,384 was on a nonaccrual basis). Included in this amount is $4,465 of impaired loans for which the related allowance for loan losses is $1,032 and $6,951 of impaired loans that do not have an allowance for credit losses due to management’s estimate that the fair value of the underlying collateral of these loans is sufficient for full repayment of the loan and interest.
 
The amount of interest income that would have been recorded under the original terms for the above loans was $121 and $31 for the quarters ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and $242 and $349 for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

6.    INTANGIBLE ASSETS
 
In July of 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement No. 141 (SFAS No. 141), “Business Combinations,” and Statement No. 142 (SFAS No. 142), “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” SFAS No. 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 141 also establishes specific criteria for the recognition of intangible assets separately from goodwill. SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized, but instead be tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No.142. However, SFAS No. 142 did not supercede FASB Statement No. 72, “Accounting for Certain Acquisitions of Banking or Thrift Institutions,” and therefore, any goodwill accounted for in accordance with this Statement will continue to be amortized until further guidance is issued from the FASB. SFAS No. 142 also requires that intangible assets with definite useful lives (such as core deposit intangibles) be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values, and be reviewed for impairment at least annually. SFAS No. 142 requires that a transitional impairment test of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets be performed within six months of adoption and any resulting impairment loss be reported as a change in accounting principle. Effective January 1, 2002, United adopted SFAS No. 142, and discontinued the amortization of certain intangibles. No transitional impairment loss was recorded. Total goodwill of $80,848 as of December 31, 2001 is comprised of goodwill recorded in the community banking segment. During the second quarter of 2002, United continued to evaluate the purchase price allocation for the Century acquisition. As a result of this evaluation, non-amortizable goodwill and shareholders’ equity increased by approximately $10.28 million. There was no impact on net income, earnings per share or common shares outstanding. In accordance with the new disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 142, the following information is presented regarding intangible assets subject to amortization and those not subject to amortization.

7.    BORROWINGS
 
United’s subsidiary banks are members of the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB). Membership in the FHLB makes available short-term and long-term borrowings from collateralized advances. All FHLB borrowings are collateralized by a similar amount of single-family residential mortgage loans. At June 30, 2002, United had approximately $554,257 of additional available borrowings in the form of collateralized advances from the FHLB at prevailing interest rates.

Table of Contents
At June 30, 2002, $680,646 of FHLB advances with a weighted average interest rate of 6.08% are scheduled to mature from one to twenty years. At June 30, 2002, the scheduled maturities of FHLB advances are as follows:

United, through its parent company, has available funds of $50,000 to provide for general liquidity needs under a one year renewable collateralized line of credit with SunTrust Bank. The line of credit carries a LIBOR-based indexed floating rate of interest. At June 30, 2002, United had an outstanding balance under the line of credit of $4,000 at an interest rate of 2.54%.
 
United also has various unused lines of credit available from certain of its correspondent banks in the aggregate amount of $207,800. 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.
 
8.    TRUST PREFERRED SECURITIES
 
As part of the acquisition of Century, United assumed all the obligations of Century and its subsidiaries. One such subsidiary, Century Capital Trust I (the Trust) is a statutory business trust formed during the first quarter of 2000. The Trust issued $8.8 million of capital securities (the Capital Securities) to a third party and received net cash proceeds of $8.536 million after considering the underwriter’s discount. The Trust invested the proceeds in an equivalent amount of junior subordinated debt securities of Century, now United, bearing an interest rate equal to the rate on the Capital Securities. These debt securities, which are the only assets of the Trust, are subordinate and junior in right of payment to all present and future senior indebtedness (as defined in the indenture) and certain other financial obligations of Century, now United. United fully and unconditionally guarantees the Trust’s obligations under the Capital Securities.
 
For financial reporting purposes, the Trust is treated as a subsidiary of United and consolidated in the corporate financial statements. The Capital Securities are presented as a separate category of long-term debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheets entitled “Mandatorily redeemable capital securities of subsidiary trust.” The Capital Securities are not included as a component of stockholders’ equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. For regulatory purposes, the $8.8 million of Capital Securities are included in Tier 2 capital in accordance with regulatory reporting requirements.
 
The Capital Securities pay cash dividends semiannually at an annual rate of 10.875% of the liquidation preference. Dividends to the holders of the Capital Securities are included in the Consolidated Statements of Income as interest expense. 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.
 
Subject to the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board, the Capital Securities, the assets of the Trust, and the common securities issued by the Trust are redeemable at the option of United in whole or in part on or after March 8, 2010, or at any time, in whole but not in part, from the date of issuance, upon the occurrence of certain events.
 
9.    COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
 
United is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers and to alter its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These financial instruments include loan commitments, standby letters of credit, forward contracts for the delivery of mortgage-backed securities 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.
 
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 represent future cash requirements. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary upon the extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. United had approximately $1,291,422 and $937,455 of loan commitments outstanding as of June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, 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. United has issued commercial and standby letters of credit of $101,382 and $103,446 as of June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively.
 
In accordance with current interpretations of FASB Statement No. 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, United is required to recognize its commitments with borrowers (interest rate lock commitments) and investors (best efforts commitments) on loans originated for sale in its mortgage banking operations. These commitments are entered into with the borrower and investor to manage the inherent interest rate and pricing risk associated with selling loans in the secondary market. These derivatives are accounted for by recognizing the fair value of the contracts and commitments on the balance sheet as either a freestanding asset or liability. At June 30, 2002, United had commitments to originate $177,893 of mortgage loans to sell in the secondary market.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
Congress passed the Private Securities Litigation Act of 1995 to encourage corporations to provide investors with information about the company’s anticipated future financial performance, goals, and strategies. The act provides a safe harbor for such disclosure, in other words, protection from unwarranted litigation if actual results are not the same as management expectations.
 
United desires to provide its shareholders with sound information about past performance and future trends. Consequently, any forward-looking statements contained in this report, in a report incorporated by reference to this report, or made by management of United in this report, in any other reports and filings, in press releases and in oral statements, involves numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties.
 
Actual results could differ materially from those contained in or implied by United’s statements for a variety of factors including, but not limited to: changes in economic conditions; movements in interest rates; competitive pressures on product pricing and services; success and timing of business strategies; the nature and extent of governmental actions and reforms; and rapidly changing technology and evolving banking industry standards.
 
FINANCIAL CONDITION
 
Total assets were $5.63 billion at June 30, 2002, which was relatively flat from year end. In terms of asset composition since year end 2001, the June 30, 2002 balance sheet reflects a $2.43 million increase in cash and cash equivalents and a $16.60 million decrease in investment securities. Loans held for sale decreased $84.40 million as loan sales in the secondary market exceeded originations during the first half of 2002. Portfolio loans, net of unearned income grew $87.97 million. Other assets decreased $2.77 million. All other categories of assets were moderately flat compared to year end 2001.
 
Total deposits have grown $27.52 million since year end. In terms of composition, noninterest-bearing deposits increased $33.44 million while interest-bearing deposits remained relatively flat from December 31, 2001. United’s total borrowed funds decreased $56.60 million or 4.45% as FHLB borrowings decreased $55.81 million while short-term borrowings remained relatively flat. Accrued expenses and other liabilities increased $4.22 million or 6.48% since year end 2001.
 
Shareholders’ equity increased $26.65 million or 5.26% as compared to December 31, 2001 as United continued to balance capital adequacy and returns to shareholders. At June 30, 2002, United’s regulatory capital ratios, including those of its bank subsidiaries, continued to exceed the levels established for well-capitalized institutions.
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
OVERVIEW
 
Net income for the first half of 2002 was $44.03 million or $1.01 per diluted share compared to $39.14

24


Table of Contents
million or $0.93 per share for the first half of 2001. This represents a 12.50% increase in net income and an 8.60% increase in earnings per share. Net income for the second quarter of 2002 was $22.21 million, an increase of 12.29% from the $19.78 million reported for the prior year quarter. Second quarter 2002 earnings were $0.51 per diluted share, an increase of 8.51% from the $0.47 per share reported for the second quarter of 2001. United’s annualized return on average assets for the first six months of 2002 was 1.62% and return on average shareholders’ equity was 17.10% as compared to 1.61% and 17.70% for the first six months of 2001.
 
The net interest margin was 4.19% for the first six months of 2002 compared to 4.14% for the first six months of 2001. Tax-equivalent net interest income increased $11.43 million or 11.88% for the first six months of 2002 as compared to the same period for 2001. The provision for loan losses decreased $740 thousand over the previous year-to-date due to a lower level of net charge-offs during the first six months of 2002. Noninterest income increased $4.37 million or 15.14% for the first six months of 2002 when compared to the first six months of 2001. Noninterest expenses increased $10.41 million or 18.44% for the first six months of 2002 compared to the same period in 2001. United’s effective tax rate was 31.75% and 32.75% in 2002 and 2001, respectively.
 
NET INTEREST INCOME
 
Net interest income is the difference between interest income generated by interest-earning assets and interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities. For purposes of this discussion, net interest income is presented on a tax-equivalent basis, that is, interest income on certain federal and state nontaxable loans and investment securities has been restated as if such interest were taxed at the statutory Federal and State of West Virginia corporate tax rates of 35% and 9%, respectively.
 
Tax-equivalent net interest income increased $5.07 million or 10.32% and $11.43 million or 11.88% for the second quarter and first six months of 2002, respectively, when compared to the same periods of 2001. United’s tax-equivalent net interest margin was 4.22% and 4.19% for the second quarter and first half of 2002, respectively, compared to 4.18% and 4.14% for the same time periods in 2001, respectively. The margin increases from last year’s results were primarily attributable to a $439 million and $497 million increase in average earning assets for the quarter and year-to-date, respectively, resulting mainly from the Century Bancshares acquisition that was consummated in December of 2001. On a linked quarter basis, tax-equivalent net interest income increased $744 thousand while the net interest margin increased 6 basis points to 4.22% from the first quarter of 2002.
 
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
 
United’s credit quality continues to be sound. Nonperforming loans were $14.99 million at June 30, 2002 as compared to $17.59 million at December 31, 2001. At quarter end, nonperforming loans represented 0.42% of loans, net of unearned income. The components of nonperforming loans include nonaccrual loans and loans which are contractually past due 90 days or more as to interest or principal, but have not been put on a nonaccrual basis. During the first half of 2002, nonaccrual loans decreased $684 thousand while loans past due 90 days or more decreased $1.92 million. Total nonperforming assets of $29.10 million, including nonperforming securities of $10.0 million and OREO of $4.12 million at June 30, 2002, represented 0.52% of total assets at the end of the second quarter. For a summary of nonperforming assets, see Note 5 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements.

At June 30, 2002, impaired loans were $11.42 million, a decrease of $1.17 million or 9.29% from the $12.59 million in impaired loans at December 31, 2001. For further details, see Note 4 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements.
 
United evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis and its loan administration policies are focused upon the risk characteristics of the loan portfolio. United’s process for evaluating the allowance is a formal company-wide process that focuses on early identification of potential problem credits and procedural discipline in managing and accounting for those credits. This process determines the appropriate level of the allowance for loan losses, allocation among loan types, and the resulting provision for loan losses.
 
At June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, the allowance for loan losses was 1.33% and 1.35% of period-end loans, net of unearned income, respectively. At June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, the ratio of the allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans was 318.6% and 269.5%, respectively.
 
For the quarters ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, the provision for loan losses was $1.68 million and $2.14 million, respectively, while the provision for the first six months was $3.90 million for 2002 as compared to $4.64 million for 2001. Net charge-offs were $1.82 million for the second quarter of 2002 as compared to net charge-offs of $2.14 million for the previous year quarter which represented 0.05% and 0.06% of average loans for the respective quarters. Net charge-offs for the first half of 2002 were $3.56 million as compared to $3.98 million for the first half of 2001. Note 4 to the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements provide a progression of the allowance for loan losses.
 
In determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, management makes allocations to specific commercial loans classified by management as to risk. Management determines the loan’s risk by considering the borrowers’ ability to repay, the collateral securing the credit and other borrower-specific factors that may impact collectibility. Specific loss allocations are based on the present value of expected future cash flows using the loan’s effective interest rate, or as a practical expedient, at the loan’s observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral-dependent. Other commercial loans not specifically reviewed on an individual basis are evaluated based on loan pools, which are grouped by similar risk characteristics using management’s internal risk ratings. Allocations for these commercial loan pools are determined based upon historical loss experience adjusted for current conditions and risk factors. Allocations for loans, other than commercial loans, are developed by applying historical loss experience adjusted for current conditions and risk factor to loan pools grouped by similar risk characteristics. While allocations are made to specific loans and pools of loans, the allowance is available for all loan losses.
 
United’s formal company-wide process at June 30, 2002 produced increased allocations within all of the four loan categories. The components of the allowance allocated to commercial loans increased $949 thousand, as a result of adjustments primarily made to account for the Century acquisition, economic conditions, and specific allocations of large loans. The consumer loan pool allocation increased $1.2 million as a result of changes in historical and qualitative loss factors as well as the Century acquisition. The real estate construction loan pool allocation increased $541 thousand primarily as a result of adjustments made for the Century acquisition. The components of the allowance allocated to real estate loans increased $171 thousand as a result of changes in qualitative loss factors.

Management believes that the allowance for loan losses of $47.75 million at June 30, 2002 is adequate to provide for potential losses on existing loans based on information currently available.
 
Management is not aware of any potential problem loans, trends or uncertainties which it reasonably expects will materially impact future operating results, liquidity, or capital resources which have not been disclosed. Additionally, management has disclosed all known material credits which cause management to have serious doubts as to the ability of such borrowers to comply with the loan repayment schedules.
 
OTHER INCOME
 
Other income consists of all revenues that 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, excluding security transactions, increased $1.95 million or 12.46% and $4.38 million or 14.90% for the second quarter and first half of 2002, respectively, when compared to the second quarter and first half of 2001. These results were achieved primarily due to a combination of increased revenues from the mortgage banking and deposit services areas.
 
Income from mortgage banking activities increased $679 thousand or 10.50% for the second quarter of 2002 as compared to the second quarter of 2001. On a year-to-date basis, mortgage banking income increased $1.90 million or 16.28% over last year’s results. Mortgage loan origination activity increased 12.78% or $124.80 million for the first six months of 2002 as compared to the same period in 2001 due to increased mortgage refinancings as a result of declining interest rates. More originations resulted in increased loan sales in the secondary market of 20.68% or $203.20 million during the first half of 2002 in comparison to the same time period in 2001. Income from deposit services increased $1.19 million or 17.84% for the second quarter of 2002 when compared to the second quarter of 2001 while increasing $2.32 million or 18.35% for the first half of 2002 when compared to the first half of 2001.
 
Total noninterest income, including security transactions, increased $2.37 million or 15.94% and $4.37 million or 15.14% for the second quarter and first half of 2002, respectively, when compared to the second quarter and first half of 2001. Included in the security transactions’ totals for 2002 and 2001 are recognized impairment charges of $779 thousand and $1.17 million, respectively, related to an other-than-temporary decline in the fair value of retained interests in securitized assets as of June 30, 2002 and 2001. This decline was a result of an increase in the level of default and prepayment activity during the time periods and the corresponding increase in the default and prepayment assumptions utilized in the valuation of those securities.
 
OTHER EXPENSES
 
Just as management continues to evaluate areas where noninterest income can be enhanced, it strives to improve the efficiency of its operations to reduce costs. Other expenses include all items of expense other than interest expense, the provision for loan losses, and income taxes. Other expenses increased $5.38 million or 18.25% and $10.41 million or 18.44% for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2002, as compared to the same periods in 2001.

Table of Contents
 
Total salaries and benefits increased by 24.03% or $3.71 million and 22.86% or $6.84 million for the second quarter and first six months of 2002 when compared to the same periods of 2001 mainly due to increased employee salaries and benefits from the Century Bancshares acquisition. On a linked quarter basis, total salaries and benefits increased by 8.77% or $1.54 million from the first quarter of 2002. The increase was due mainly to higher sales activity in the mortgage banking segment as compensation and incentives for its personnel are significantly tied to activity levels.
 
Net occupancy expense for the second quarter and first half of 2002 increased $738 thousand or 27.51% and $719 thousand or 13.46%, respectively, when compared to the second quarter and first six months of 2001. The higher net occupancy expense for 2002 was due mainly to increases in both real property taxes on owned premises and rental expense on leased offices from the Century Bancshares acquisition.
 
Other expenses increased $926 thousand or 8.18% and $2.85 million or 13.45% for the second quarter and first six months of 2002 as compared to the same periods of 2001. The increase in other expenses during 2002 was due to a higher level of general operating expenses from the acquisition of Century Bancshares. In addition, the lower expense for the first half of 2001 was due to a divestiture of a branch office and the sale of other bank premises during the first quarter of last year for a total gain of $1.24 million.
 
INCOME TAXES
 
For the second quarter and first half of 2002, United’s effective tax rate was 31.00% and 31.75%, respectively, as compared to 33.00% and 32.75% for the same time periods in 2001. The decrease was primarily the result of nontaxable distributions from restructuring and reorganizational initiatives.

Item 3.     QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
The objective of United’s Asset/Liability Management function is to maintain consistent growth in net interest income within United’s policy guidelines. This objective is accomplished through the management of balance sheet liquidity and interest rate risk exposures due to changes in economic condition, interest rate levels and customer preferences.
 
INTEREST RATE RISK
 
Management considers interest rate risk to be United’s most significant market risk. Interest rate risk is the exposure to adverse changes in the net interest income of United as a result of changes in interest rates. Consistency in United’s earnings is largely dependent on the effective management of interest rate risk.
 
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 net interest income sensitivity 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. 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 strategies.
 
Interest sensitive assets and liabilities are defined as those assets or liabilities that mature or are repriced within a designated time-frame. The principal function of interest rate risk management is to maintain an appropriate relationship between those assets and liabilities that are sensitive to changing market interest rates. The difference between rate sensitive assets and rate sensitive liabilities for specified periods of time is known as the “GAP.” 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.
 
As shown in the interest rate sensitivity gap table in this section, United was liability-sensitive (more liabilities repricing than assets) in the one year horizon. This indicates that rising market interest rates would reduce United’s earnings and declining market interest rates would increase earnings. United, however, has not experienced the kind of earnings volatility indicated from the cumulative gap. This is because a significant portion of United’s retail deposit base does not reprice on a contractual basis. Management has estimated, based upon historical analyses, that United’s savings deposits are less sensitive to interest rate changes than are other forms of deposits. The GAP table presented herein has been adapted to show the estimated differences in interest rate sensitivity which result when the retail deposit base is assumed to reprice in a manner consistent with historical trends. (See “Management Adjustments” in the GAP table). Using these estimates, United was asset-sensitive in the one year horizon in the amount of $206 million or 3.89% of the cumulative gap to related earning assets. At December 31, 2001, United was liability-sensitive in the one-year horizon in the amount of $124 million or (2.33%) of the cumulative gap to related earning assets.

During 1999, to better manage risk, United sold fixed-rate residential mortgage loans in a securitization transaction. In that securitization, United retained subordinated interests that represent United’s right to future cash flows arising after the investors in the securitization trust have received the return for which they contracted. United does not receive annual servicing fees from this securitization because the loans are serviced by an independent third-party. The investors and the securitization trust have no recourse to United’s other assets for failure of debtors to pay when due; however, United’s retained interests are subordinate to investors’ interests. The value of the retained interests is subject to credit, prepayment, and interest rate risks on the underlying financial assets. At the date of securitization, key economic assumptions used in measuring the fair value of the retained interests were as follows: a weighted-average life of 5.3 years, expected cumulative credit losses of 15%, and discount rates of 8% to 18%.
 
Key economic assumptions used in measuring the fair value of the retained interests at June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001 were as follows:

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

limits approved by the Board of Directors are structured on a staged basis with each stage requiring specific actions.

At June 30, 2002, given an immediate, sustained 200 basis point upward shock to the yield curve used in the simulation model, it was estimated net interest income for United would increase by 0.69% over one year as compared to a decrease of 1.61% at December 31, 2001. A 200 basis point immediate, sustained downward shock in the yield curve would decrease net interest income by an estimated 4.31% over one year at June 30, 2002 as compared to an increase of 0.24% at December 31, 2001. All of these estimated changes in net interest income are and were within the policy guidelines established by the Board of Directors.

LIQUIDITY
 
United maintains, in the opinion of management, liquidity which 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. 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. Other than cash and due from banks, the available for sale securities portfolio, loans held for sale and maturing loans and investments 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. Funding is available from cash and cash equivalents, unused short-term borrowing and a geographically dispersed network of subsidiary banks providing access to a diversified and substantial retail deposit market.
 
Short-term needs can be met through a wide array of 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, and borrowings that are secured by bank premises or stock of United’s subsidiaries. In the normal course of business, United through ALCO evaluates these as well as other alternative funding strategies that may be utilized to meet short-term and long-term funding needs.
 
For the six months ended June 30, 2002, United generated $132.90 million of cash from operations, which is indicative of solid earnings performance. In addition, cash from operations for the first half of 2002 included $92.67 million of excess sales of mortgage loans in the secondary market over originations. During the same period, net cash of $68.86 million was used in investing activities which was primarily due to portfolio loan growth of $93.05 million and $26.50 million of excess purchases of investment securities over net proceeds from calls and maturities of securities. During the first six months of 2002, net cash of $61.61 million was used in financing activities, primarily due to repayment of approximately $55.39 million in FHLB borrowings and payments of $19.76 million and $18.00 million, respectively, for cash dividends and acquisitions of United shares under the stock repurchase program. The net effect of this activity was an increase in cash and cash equivalents of $2.43 million for the first six months of 2002.
 
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.

The Asset and Liability Committee monitors liquidity to ascertain that a liquidity position within certain prescribed parameters is maintained. In addition, variable rate loans are a priority. These policies help to protect net interest income against fluctuations in interest rates. No changes are anticipated in the policies of United’s Asset and Liability Committee.
 
CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
Total shareholders’ equity increased $26.65 million to $533.18 million from $506.53 million at December 31, 2001. Since year end, United has experienced an increase of $6.95 million, net of deferred income taxes, in the fair value of its available for sale investment portfolio. As previously discussed, during the second quarter of 2002, United continued to evaluate the purchase price allocation for the Century acquisition. As a result, non-amortizable goodwill and shareholders’ equity increased by approximately $10.28 million. During the first half of 2002, 375,700 shares were repurchased to complete a plan announced by United in May of 2000 to repurchase up to 1.675 million shares of its common stock on the open market. On February 28, 2002, United announced a new plan to repurchase up to 1.72 million shares of its common stock, of which 236,300 shares were repurchased during the quarter. United’s equity to assets ratio was 9.48% at June 30, 2002, as compared to 8.99% at December 31, 2001. The primary capital ratio, capital and reserves to total assets and reserves, was 10.24% at June 30, 2002, as compared to 9.75% at December 31, 2001.
 
During the second quarter of 2002, United’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of 23¢ per share. Cash dividends of $0.46 per common share for the first half of 2002 represent an increase of 2% over the $0.45 paid for first half of 2001. Total cash dividends declared were approximately $9.80 million for the second quarter of 2002 and $19.67 million for the first six months of 2002, an increase of 2.84% and 5.16% over the comparable periods of 2001.
 
United seeks to maintain a proper relationship between capital and total assets to support growth and sustain earnings. United’s average equity to average asset ratio was 9.47% at June 30, 2002 and 9.09% at June 30, 2001. Based on regulatory requirements, United and its banking subsidiaries are categorized as “well capitalized” institutions. United’s risk-based capital ratios of 11.38% at June 30, 2002 and 11.37% at December 31, 2001, are both significantly higher than the minimum regulatory requirements. United’s Tier I capital and leverage ratios of 10.03% and 7.84%, respectively, at June 30, 2002, are also well above regulatory minimum requirements.
