At December 31, 2012, all the repurchase agreements were in overnight accounts. The rates offered on these funds vary according to movements in the federal funds and short-term investment market rates.

United has a $10,000,000 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 is renewable on a 360 day basis and carries an indexed, floating-rate of interest. The line requires compliance with various financial and nonfinancial covenants. At December 31, 2012, United had no outstanding balance under this credit.

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

Interest paid on short-term borrowings approximated $304,000, $464,000 and $2,000 in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
